In the year after the funeral, Gu Dashi was still a normal person. The children forgot to visit him during the New Year holidays, and the old lady did not care. She sent people to visit Gu Dashi's home during the New Year, and they were treated decently.

But when Gu Dashi was instigated by some scoundrels in the village to start gambling, everything changed because he was uneducated and had no skills.

These teenagers are most likely to be led astray.

As a result, Gu Dashi, who was originally a bit arrogant and domineering, became a complete bad guy. Not to mention the petty thefts, he was so addicted to gambling that he even ran to Cheng Hou Mansion to ask for money.

The old lady felt sorry for him a few times before and gave him some money to help him. However, the old lady who went back to Liuli Town to visit her relatives reported that Gu Dashi had become a famous scoundrel and that he had gone back to gamble when he asked for money. The old lady was so angry that when Gu Dashi came again, she stopped giving him money and detained him to teach him a lesson.

But after all, they are just relatives, and the old lady's words are not very effective, and education cannot be achieved by just saying a few words occasionally, so Gu Dashi still does his own thing.

Until a few years ago, some bastard gave Gu Dashi an idea, saying that he had an engagement with a girl from the Marquis's family and asked Gu Dashi to marry the girl home.

Gu Dashi thought it was a good idea when he heard it! He was still dreaming that when the daughter of the marquis's mansion married, she would bring a lot of dowry, and he could use the dowry to continue gambling; and since the daughter of their marquis's mansion was in his hands, wouldn't it be more convenient to ask for money?

This is why when the aunt in the village heard Gu Yue say that he would live a good life in the future, she not only did not believe him but also scolded him.

In his vague recollection, Gu Dashi acted like a decent human being for a few days in order to gain the trust of the Marquis' Mansion, and even borrowed some so-called "bride price" for this purpose, all of which came from the few families in the village who were kind to him.

Afterwards, Gu Dashi felt that it was almost time, so he came to ask for marriage, and everything was arranged properly. However, the old lady's daughter-in-law was a wise woman, and she had someone secretly follow Gu Dashi. As a result, on the night he returned to Liuli Town, he was seen entering the casino again, and he boasted to others that he was about to marry the daughter of the Marquis' Mansion, and then he would be able to control the entire Marquis' Mansion...

Gu Yue stood at the side door of the Marquis' Mansion, and his face felt hot just thinking about it.

It's so embarrassing and I feel ashamed.

Gu Dashi waited for a few days and went to the Marquis's mansion to propose marriage. The Marquis's wife had someone put him in a sack and beat him, breaking one of his legs. At that time, she threatened him: If you dare to come to my house again, I will break your other leg!

Thinking of this, Gu Yue felt a pain in his legs.

Of course he didn't want to go to the Marquis's house. Things had been so ugly back then, if it were him, he would never go there again in his life to cause trouble, he was also afraid of getting his legs broken!

But he traveled through time and space in poverty, modern business ideas had been taken over by others, and technological development had flourished, integrating the strengths of various dynasties. Gu Yue had no special skills, and the only thing he was good at was Internet code, which could not be applied to ancient times!

If there was a system and a space, he wouldn't be so passive.

Fortunately, the original body still has the remaining connections in Chenghou Mansion.

From ancient times to the present, it is common to find a job through connections. If one wants to achieve a class leap or move from rural to urban areas, it is very difficult to rely solely on personal efforts in a society where all situations are stable.

So, if you need to find a connection, just give it a try!

He didn't dare go through the main gate, in case he was thrown out with his legs broken, which would be good for his reputation and that of the Chenghou Mansion.

Gu Yue went forward and knocked on the door.

The door opened quickly. This side door was where servants and maids passed through, so the servant inside looked at Gu Yue, who was dressed simply and did not show any bad expression.

Gu Yue handed over his ID card and the token that the old lady had left for Brother Gu and his wife, saying that he wanted to meet the head of the family.

The token of trust was a jade pendant of fairly good quality, and because it was hidden in Gu Dashi's sad room, it escaped being pawned.

The servant looked puzzled, but quickly went in with the things.

The side door closed, and Gu Yue sat down on a stone bench on the side.

About a quarter of an hour later, the side door burst open and a group of mighty men holding long sticks rushed out and surrounded Gu Yue tightly.

Gu Yue's heart skipped a beat. It was over!

His legs are going to be broken!

This time, should I stretch out my broken right leg to let them hit me, or should I use my intact left leg to hit them?

It is said that if an old injury is broken again, there is a high possibility that it cannot be cured!

What if an amputation occurs?

It is better to repair the good left leg. I hope the break height will be similar, so that the lameness can be more even.

Gu Yue squatted on the ground, thinking wildly.

The crowd parted, and a figure in a deep purple skirt slowly approached.

A thunderous roar rang out above Gu Yue's head: "Gu Dashi! How dare you come to my house! Have you forgotten what I said last time!"

Gu Yue looked up and saw that the person who came was a well-dressed lady, whose face met that of the Marquis’s wife, the old lady’s daughter-in-law.

"Madam, it's been a long time since we last met. You still look so good." Gu Yue stood up straight, not servile at all.

"You look good? Then you'd better get out of Sushui County as soon as possible, otherwise I will look bad." The lady snorted coldly.

"Dashi was wrong in many of the things that happened in the past. Dashi was confused." Gu Yue bowed his head respectfully, admitted the mistakes on behalf of Gu Dashi, and then quickly explained the purpose of his visit: "I recently heard from people in Gujia Village that the old lady was not feeling well. Thinking that I haven't seen her for so many years, I came to Sushui County today to do some work and visit her by the way."

As he spoke, he presented the gifts: three pounds of Liuli Town's time-honored braised pork and peach cakes, which he guessed could be considered hometown delicacies.

As for the reason for visiting the old lady, he made it up. He thought that people would feel a little uncomfortable when they were old. If the old lady was still strong and active in her seventies or eighties, he could also congratulate her.

Madam looked him up and down, and saw that Gu Yue's face was much more docile than before, and there was no longer that flickering thief in his eyes, but pretending to be sincere, apologetic and a little embarrassed...

She was also embarrassed. This guy was so shameless.

"No, it would be even worse if the old lady saw you." The Marquis's wife looked around and saw some people were looking at her. She was considerate and said, "Come with me and don't walk around."

Gu Yue was secretly happy, but he didn't dare show it on his face at all.

My leg was saved for now! There was some hope for the relationship.

After entering the side door and passing through several layers of courtyard walls, they came to a bright and spacious but not very formal hall. The lady sat down at the head seat and motioned for Gu Yue to sit down as well. Then two maids who looked like fairies came in with tea trays in their hands. The one who served tea to Gu Yue said softly, "Please come in, young master~"

Gu Yue lowered his head tremblingly, not daring to look at her any longer. After the maid put down the tea and stepped back half a meter, he picked up the teacup and said hurriedly, "Thank you very much."

The lady looked on coldly without expressing her opinion.
