Gu Jinan and He Jinsheng were the last to get in the car. After greeting village chief He, the third grandmother who was standing at the door to see them off, and Ms. Cui, they asked Zezi to drive towards the town.

Feng Lian followed behind in another mule cart, which contained New Year's gifts for Shang Xiucai's family, Shang Li's family, and Mr. Ouyang.

Village Chief He looked at the two mule carts leaving one after another and was really envious. Counting these two mule carts, the Gu family and Gu's workshop already had five mule carts, which was really very good.

Gu Jinan did not go straight to the town, but went to Shangjia Village first and met Shang Xiucai.

Shang Xiucai was very happy to see him. He grabbed Gu Jinan's hand and went to the study: "Haha, you are finally back. I was worried that you were going to celebrate the New Year outside."

Then asked: "How is the matter handled?"

There were so many people here that it was difficult to talk, so Gu Jinan only said: "Everything went well, sir, I'm worried."

Shang Xiucai nodded and said: "As long as it goes well, just concentrate on studying now that you are back. Although your knowledge is good, you cannot let it go to waste. You must know that there are people outside."

"Yes, the student has been taught." Gu Jinan bowed deeply to Shang Xiucai. When he looked up, he suddenly saw a few white hairs growing on Shang Xiucai's temples. He felt nervous and a little sad.

Shang Xiucai is younger than his father, but in the past three years, his father has become younger and younger, but Shang Xiucai is gradually showing his age.

"Sir, have you been feeling unwell lately?" Gu Jinan asked, "Don't hide it from the students."

"Brother Jin'an." When Yuan Yuan heard that their brother was coming, he ran to the study room. When he heard this, he said angrily: "Isn't he sick? Dad is sick and he still doesn't take medicine. If Yuan Yuan hadn't followed My mother watched him take the bitter medicine, and he is still lying in bed."

Shang Yuanyuan is six years old this year. She is a good-looking, chubby little girl with a round face. She is almost the same as she was three years ago. She still likes to eat.

Gu Jinan became anxious when he heard this: "How can you, sir, act like a child and not know how to cherish yourself?"

Shang Xiucai waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's just a small wind chill. In this winter, many people have caught wind chill. Now they are better. It doesn't matter."

Then he looked at Yuanyuan: "Why don't you salute your brother Jin'an, brother Cheng, brother Dexing, and brother Jinsheng."

Yuan Yuan was a good boy. He obediently saluted everyone and ran over to ask Gu Jin'an: "Brother Jin'an, is Jinling Mansion fun? What did you bring back? Is there anything for Yuan Yuan?"

Gu Jinan smiled and said: "Jinling Mansion is very prosperous. Your sister Xiaoyu bought you a box of things, including everything for eating and playing. Zezi and Lianzi are moving in, and you can get your own yard back later." .”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zezi and Feng Lian came in each carrying a load of things.

Yuan Yuan was really happy when he saw so many things. He rushed over and grabbed the load and said, "Ham, ham. Daddy, Brother Jin'an has sent ham to our family."

Shang Xiucai knew that the selling price of ham was quite expensive. A piece of ham could be sold for nearly 2,000 taels of silver at Yanfu Tower alone. I heard that those who bought the ham were all big businessmen. If they wanted to take the ham to Jiangnan, Beijing and other places for auction, the price would only be more expensive, at least three thousand taels.

"Why are you giving such expensive things? I already gave them to you during the winter solstice and haven't finished eating yet. Take these two pieces back and sell them for money." Shang Xiucai was reluctant to eat such things that cost thousands of taels of silver.

Gu Jinan said: "Sir, please accept it. This is the student's wish. Besides, the cost of this ham is not expensive. What is expensive is time. Every year when Xiaoyu makes ham, he will make an extra batch to give away. This batch It’s just a gift, sir, don’t feel bad.”

"Sister Xiaoyu is so good!" Yuan Yuan liked Gu Jinli the most and quickly praised Gu Jinli: "Sister Xiaoyu is so thoughtful every time she does things. Mom even asked me to learn from sister Xiaoyu."

Then he asked: "When will Sister Xiaoyu be free? Will she come to town to play during the Lantern Festival this year?"

Gu Jinan replied: "Recently, the pharmaceutical workshop has to ship out goods for two days in a row. After the goods are shipped, she has to calculate wages, distribute money, and give out New Year gifts to everyone. She will be busy until the New Year. She loves to be lively, and the Lantern Festival should be Will come to town."

Shang Yuanyuan was a little disappointed when he heard this: "I thought that Sister Xiaoyu would come back to visit her, but I didn't expect that she would be so busy."

Brother Cheng said: "You can go to the pharmaceutical workshop to help make medicine. Second sister likes free workers the most."

Shang Yuanyuan's eyes lit up and he really wanted to go.

Shang Xiucai smiled and patted her on the head and said, "Don't go and cause trouble to your sister Xiaoyu. The pharmaceutical workshop is already so busy. She will have to take care of you while you are gone."

Yuanyuan was not happy after hearing this, but she knew that her father was right, so she could only nod and said: "Okay."

However, after seeing so many things, he happily greeted Ah Jiu and Tao Zi: "Take it to my parents' yard. I want to look at the gifts with my mother."

"Hey." Taozi responded, picked up a load of gifts with Ah Jiu, and left the study to go to the backyard.

Yuan Yuan was very well-behaved, and before leaving, he saluted Gu Jinan and the others.

Shang Xiucai looked at her running away happily, with worry in his eyes besides kindness.

Gu Jinan saw this and became more determined to worship Shang Xiucai as his teacher... In the past two years, Shang Xiucai felt that his couple was getting older and there was no son at home, so he was worried that Yuanyuan would be bullied by her husband's family when she got married in the future.

"How are you, sir?" Gu Jinan sat down and asked, "If you are in good spirits, come with us to meet Mr. Ouyang. I just came back and I have to go see his old man."

Shang Xiucai has not been out since he recovered from the cold. He thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."

Because of Brother Cheng's relationship, he had also met Mr. Ouyang, and he really admired his knowledge.

"Brother Cheng is lucky enough to be taught by him in his previous life. Brother Cheng must learn from Mr. Ouyang well."

Brother Cheng smiled and nodded: "Uncle Shang, don't worry, I will definitely study hard."

He ran over to the scholar again and said, "Uncle Shang, let's go."

Shang Xiucai got up and they all went to town together.

The summer residence in the town has now become the residence of Mr. Ouyang, and the plaque of the summer residence has been taken down.

"Brother Dexing, Brother Jinsheng, please wait outside. We will go in first and call you after asking Mr. Ouyang." After Gu Jinan got off the mule cart, he said to the four of them, Gu Dexing, who were sitting on the mule cart.

Gu Dexing and He Jinsheng said slightly uneasily: "Hey, you go in first, we will wait outside."

Gu Jinan nodded and asked Feng Lian to accompany him outside, while Zezi entered the house with the New Year gift.

Mr. Ouyang was sitting in the flower hall of Tingshui Garden, watching Tingshui Garden feel worried. When he saw Gu Jinan and the others coming, he just said without interest: "I'm back."

Next to Mr. Ouyang sat Zheng Qing.

The little guy was very well-behaved and his posture was meticulous. When he saw them coming, he smiled and called out: "Uncle Shang, Brother Jin'an, Brother Cheng."

On the tenth day of the lunar month, when Magistrate Zheng found out about Ouyang Hu's promise to teach Brother Cheng, he was so sour that even his meals no longer tasted good.

Why do all the good things happen to the Gu family? His brother Qing is not bad either.
