The husband's son-in-law

Going to a banquet nowadays is naturally not just for eating, but mainly for social chatting.

Although Li Zhouzhou said that you are welcome, everyone should be tense or tense, and they can only give up.There was one table for the adults, and two tables for the children. Li Ji sent a few stewed ducks, made cold dishes, and some jelly.

Now Li Zhouzhou doesn't need to do it himself.

Mrs. Wang looked at the stewed duck on the table, and before she ate it, she laughed and boasted: "The taste of Liji stewed pork is special. I haven't tasted it yet, but I think it's good just by the color. When I was at home, I sent people to buy it every day. It’s like you can’t get tired of eating anything.”

The wives of the other two families were annoyed at themselves, why they were a step too slow and let the one surnamed Wang pick their heads first.So they scrambled to flatter, everyone in Zhaozhou City didn't know that Li Ji's business was done by the new Mr. Gu.

After bragging about braised duck and braised skin jelly, the words are special, delicious, and never tire of eating.

Li Zhouzhou could only laugh and say, "It was also figured out by my husband-in-law before. My family is from a farming family. If I didn't do business to support it, I wouldn't be where I am today." Turning around, Li Chun prepared three wooden boxes for stewed ducks, and put them together. Reciprocity added.

The child's table is also holding Fubao.

After lunch was over, they drank two more cups of tea and chatted for a while. When the wives of the three families heard the words of farewell from the masters next door, they got up and said excuse me, thank you for the hospitality, so they took the children away.

Li Zhouzhou asked Li Chun to send it off.

The three families got into the carriage, only to find that the Li family had prepared a gift in return, and it had already moved into the carriage, and it was not good to open it in front of the Li Mansion gate to see what it was, so they suppressed their thoughts and waited until they got back.

The carriage rattled far away from the main gate of Li Mansion and was out of sight. The lady in the carriage was relieved and could be more relaxed, and the children in the carriage behind were able to talk and chat in a low voice.

"The big family is not as big as ours."

The concubine dared not open her mouth, thinking that it would not be as magnificent and beautiful as their family, but the wife and master always flattered and flattered Mrs. Gu, even the concubine who was proud at home, now she was in front of the young master Fubao. Very attentive.

It's better to be an official.The concubine thought to herself.

After the prostitute finished speaking, she might feel bad, so she added: "Madam Gu has a good manner, the house is full of rare things, I have never seen Master Fubao's toys, I don't know if they are from Beijing, I am sure It's something from Jingli..."

The concubine in the carriage of the Wang family sat quietly in a corner, thinking about the scene when he went to Li Mansion to meet Mrs. Gu today. Mrs. Gu didn't put any powder on her face, and she was dressed plainly, not in the color of red, willow or green. A hairpin, nothing else to dress up.

For some reason, the Wang family brother felt that Mrs. Gu was so good-looking. When he returned home, he went into his aunt's yard. The first thing he asked for was hot water to wash his face, and he took off his gaudy red clothes.

Fifth Yiniang was really looking forward to her brother coming back to ask about the situation. Seeing this attitude, she first said: "Did you offend Mrs. Gu by going outside today? Or did you do something stupid? Don't mess around. Throw it away, this dress was newly made this year, and your sister didn't even wear such a good material."

The Wang family is a silk and satin shop, but if there are any rare ones, they will be sold. The servants sent some to the house. Naturally, Mrs. Wang picked first, and the rest were given to the aunts in each house.

The clothes worn by the brother of the Wang family as a guest today were accepted by the Wang family in the fourth day of the junior high school. Master Wang asked his wife to take the brother from the house with him, and the mother at home worked overtime to sew such a piece.

"This material is also available in the main courtyard." Wu Yiniang felt sorry for the clothes, and asked her mother to put them away, and said, "What are you crazy about? It's not right to go out for a while and come back. It's better to let your sister go, you The younger sister is sweet and can coax people to talk, she is not too young, it is time to look at her husband's family, but she has bumped into my wife's Liu Niang..."

Fifth Yiniang talked about it, mainly because her daughter Qiniang was about the same age as her first-born Liuniang, and Madam couldn't understand them as concubines and aunts. Okay, but maybe her husband's family doesn't think that Qiniang was born by a concubine.

Difficult.

"After talking a lot, you start talking, don't make Madam unhappy if you do something wrong, and implicate me and your sister."

The brother of the Wang family said, "No, Mrs. Gu is very kind, and asked me if I can read and write."

"...What are you learning? It's the right way to learn from the serious brother in front of you."

The Wang family is in the courtyard.

"Ma'am, a box of braised duck, a box of dim sum, a bottle of green plum wine, and red envelopes."

Before Mrs. Wang spoke, the master was surprised. Did Mr. Gu give him money?But seeing that the woman didn't speak well, she took the red paper and opened it, and three copper coins fell out.

Good guy three pennies.Mr. Wang is not short in business. When dealing with his peers, he has never seen a three-pronged money, but Mr. Gu gave it to him. Master Wang didn't say anything. In Li Mansion, what did Madam Gu tell you? Tell me exactly what happened."

Mrs. Wang knew that there was such a problem, so she recalled and started to talk, and she didn't dare to miss anything. She roughly imitated, Mrs. Gu said about Beijing, "...the first year in Beijing was Mrs. Gu who was studying in the Imperial Academy and won the title of the prince. Reward, there are many annual gifts... Speaking of business, I slipped the tongue to Mrs. Gu, his shop, Li Ji, belongs to his relatives—"

"It's from his relatives? Not from his family?" Mr. Wang said something wrong, but he recalled, "It's his family's business but it's going to be linked to relatives?"

"Yeah, I don't know how to get around this detour, and I'm not afraid that my relatives will swallow up the Li family's business."

Master Wang: "Whoever dares to swallow the business of the Grand Master's family, continue."

"After Mrs. Gu leaked her words, she later found out that Prince Kang of Jingli has a restaurant, which belongs to both the prince and the prince. My lord, why did Mr. Gu come to our Zhaozhou?"

How could this master Wang know, but he also felt strange, so he had to ask someone to find out.

"...By the way, sir, Mrs. Gu said that our Liu Niang was still young, and I said that it was time to pick her in-law's family, but Mrs. Gu said that she was not in a hurry, and things would be better in the future. I couldn't figure it out. Didn't Mr. Gu want to promote the master?" Mrs. Wang said happily, which is a good thing.

It would be great if the Wang family could be made like the Chen family.

"Why didn't you say that earlier." Master Wang said something about his wife, but he didn't pursue it, "What else did you say?"

"Ask Wu Yiniang if the fourth brother can read and write, and I will tell you the truth. The boy in the family can read a few words, and Mrs. Gu asked why he didn't study hard enough to take the imperial examination. This, how can our family become an official in business? Yo."

The children here in Zhaozhou are not sorted according to gender, they are all mixed together.

Hearing what Madam said, Mr. Wang remembered what Mr. Gu said about building an official school and not accepting their money, so he let go of the words and gave the children of the three families today. At that time, Mr. Wang didn't take it seriously. Even if you read well, how can you become an official?

But now, hearing Madam say this, together, Mr. Wang probably touched the door.

The two generations of merchants cannot take the imperial examination-that is, his grandson can take the imperial examination.

This Lord Wang knows, but he is reluctant to part with the accumulated wealth of the Wang family. Now that Mrs. Gu said that he can be a relative of the clan, if his descendants become officials, they will definitely not dare to be greedy.

I'm afraid that everyone in Jingli does this.

If what Master Gu said is true, building a government school and sending his family’s children to enter the government school, in fact, it can also subsidize the children of relatives and relatives to study in school, and they will be able to protect their Wang family when they become talents in the future. If the relatives and children of this family are really selected and become officials and masters, wouldn't it be the other way around.

His family's Wang family was in business. In the past, their relatives flattered and flattered them, but then it was upside down, and it was the turn of the Wang family to flatter and flatter their relatives.Not good, not good.Master Wang shook his head, he still had to bring his own children.

Officials are decent.

"...Speaking of which, the imperial examination is not so easy, I think too much." Master Wang said this, but his heart was already moved.

Mrs. Wang saw that the master was lost in thought, took a sip of tea in her spare time, moistened her throat, and couldn't help sighing, "I flattered Mrs. Gu and said a lot of auspicious words, so I dare not drink more tea, for fear of drinking too much water." Too much to go to the toilet is indecent, and going to a banquet is really tiring."

"Tired? This year is our Wang's family. The Chen family's Lin's family has not yet. I guess I'm scratching my head at home and thinking about it. Now I'm appointed to go to all parties to inquire about it. I'm going to ask what Mr. Gu said today." Master Wang refuted Madam's 'tiredness', I actually agree with it in my heart.

He is not only flattering Mr. Gu, but also afraid that other families will see his family become popular and deal with him. Therefore, he keeps a low profile and responds in a smooth manner. Master Wang sighs in his stomach, if someone from his Wang family becomes an official , then he is an old farmer who doesn't do anything, and is mostly flattered and flattered, and he treats the nobleness of an old man.

The situation is similar to that of the Wang family. The Huang family and the Li family went back and asked their respective wives what Mrs. Gu said. The wives of each family recalled the reply, and they both had the same thoughts as the Wang family.

In the past in Zhaozhou, there were scholars, but not many, and only a handful of them could come out. In the past 30 to [-] years, there was a county magistrate of Minzhang and a second son-in-law of Mr. Chen. Most of them stopped when they became scholars.In Zhaozhou City, take the Chen family, which is the largest in business, as an example. Has the Chen family not changed their minds?

However, Zhaozhou is remote and poor, and there are no scholars with real talents who are willing to come here to teach.Those who are capable and arrogant are unwilling to cater to merchants and become teachers for merchants' children—especially when they go to remote places here, it is difficult to even buy textbooks and books, so what if they have money?Delay your own imperial examination.

Those who have no practical knowledge in their stomachs are willing to come, but they are only limited to enlightening the children. They have actually gone to the imperial examinations, and the children can't even touch the threshold of childhood.

Therefore, Gu Zhao said today that the construction of the official school will give places to the relatives and children of the three families. When the three families come back together, they are very happy, even more happy than road construction.

There is not even a government school in a state - in fact, Mr. Chen has thought about it before. It is easy to build a government school, and it is not worth a lot of money to buy a yard, but teachers are hard to find.

Now the three families have the same thoughts, and some people even inquired about Mr. Gu's Hanlin experience, and they can find out any scholar from this state who went to Muzhou to take the Juren examination.

The Hanlin is noble, the emperor is a close minister, but he will be in the cabinet as a powerful minister in the future.

After inquiring about it, I was shocked for a long time, and I naturally put on a layer of 'superior' filter for Mr. Gu.

The Patriarch of the Li family is reassured, "...the new Mr. Gu is more powerful than Mr. Chen. When Mr. Chen first arrived, my father was still alive and took me to the banquet a few times, but he is not as good as Mr. Gu now." Your Excellency has a lot of tricks, let’s not mention these, our family follows Mr. Gu to do things, if the official school fails in the future, our family will just spend a lot of effort to manage it a few times, and spend a little more money—”

"This money is filial to who is not filial, and I can earn it back in the future."

"But what if it succeeds? If Mr. Gu really has this ability, then our family's descendants will change their identities drastically. Now they are our nodding and bowing flatterers, and in the future others will flatter our family."

Mrs. Li became excited when she thought about it. She thought it was good. If her son failed, she would have her grandson. If her grandson failed, she would also have a great-grandson...

"What the master said is that our family has no shortage of money. Mr. Gu is using our family now. If our family doesn't show up and changes to someone else in the future, the Wang family will be very courteous today. They serve a stewed duck without using chopsticks. Mrs. Wang started blowing."

Master Li: "That's right, there is someone surnamed Wang. The Chen family's Lin family didn't even find it for today's banquet."

"The Huang family still carried it before, but now they just learned to curry favor."

You can't really take Joe, what face is there to treat it as a business, especially in front of officials.Master Li figured it out, and planned to go to Li Mansion to visit Mr. Gu in a few days, and said that his family was willing to take care of——

But that's not right, if you really say that, it's not like you're revealing, did he find out what Mr. Gu is doing in various prefectures and counties?No, no, I have to find a way to take the initiative to run errands for Mr. Gu without revealing the truth.

Li Fuzhong.

Fu Bao sat on his little stool, holding a piece of cake in his hand, and ate it with small bites.

"Fufu didn't eat enough at noon? Why are you still eating cakes when you're hungry?" Li Da asked.

Fu Bao called Grandpa, stopped the cake in his hand, and said, "My brothers and sisters all like Fu Bao and praise Fu Bao."

"It means that people like us Fufu." Li Da thought it was a good thing.

Fu Bao didn't say anything, just took another bite of the cake sullenly.Li Da entered the living room and said to Zhao'er: "Fubao is eating cakes outside, I wonder if he is unhappy? He said that his brothers and sisters love to praise him, why is he not happy? Don't be bullied and wronged during the day, dare not say."

Gu Zhao thought it was unlikely, but knowing that his father loved Fu Bao, he told him to go and have a look.Li Zhouzhou also heard it, and went out with Xianggong.

"Daddy, Daddy." Fu Bao ate the last bite of the cake and licked the crumbs in his hands.

Li Zhouzhou wiped Fu Bao's hands with a handkerchief, "I can only eat this one piece, and I won't be able to eat after a while."

"Fufu knows Dad." Fubao smiled.

Gu Zhao looked all right, Fu Bao was not happy as his father said, but he was smiling and happy.

"Is it okay if you don't eat at noon? That's right, I don't have much interest in eating when I entertain guests at home, and the children's table is like this?" Gu Zhao asked Zhou Zhou.

Li Zhouzhou replied: "I think they are all enthusiastic, I'm afraid they scare Fu Bao." He was tired of listening to flattery, even though he didn't know what is good or bad when he said that, the three wives praised him for catering to him all the time. On tiredness, she is also the wife of the three families.

People who can be flattered and flattered are also tired.

"If you are framed to praise, you can praise everything."

After Li Zhouzhou finished speaking, Fu Bao leaned against his father and said: "Fu Fu dropped vegetables during dinner, and my brothers and sisters still praised me."

"..." Gu Zhao.

Li Zhouzhou patted Fubao's head, hugged Fubao and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't catch the side dish that fell out, it will be fine after you practice."

"Fufu knows, Dad, Fufu will eat well." Fu Bao rubbed his head against Dad kissingly.

Why does Gu Zhao look so familiar——

Forget it, I won't be jealous of this kid today.Gu Zhao knew what was wrong with his son, whether it was good or bad, everyone praised him, Fu Bao was stunned, in the past in Beijing, the three families got together, the children played together, Dabai was still young, Yingniang liked to play tricks, Be Fubao's sister, if Fubao can't sit still and move around, and say Fubao, don't move around, look at how well Dabai sits.

This is the social interaction of normal friends.

Yingniang loves Fubao as a younger brother, but she will say that she only praises when she doesn't do well.

This matter seems trivial, but it is not easy to talk about it. Gu Zhao was afraid that Fubao would grow into a playful and arrogant character in this environment, so he squatted down and said: "The guests who came to the house today are lower than daddy, so they are like this." The aunts and aunts who talk to your father are afraid that your father will be angry, and the uncles who talk to your father are afraid that your father will be angry. The brothers and sisters who sit at the same table with Fu Bao are also afraid that Fu Bao will be angry. "

What Gu Zhao said was the truth, in the feudal class society, it is better to teach Fubao to understand class than to beautify it.

Fu Bao thought about it carefully, puffed up his face, and became unhappy.

"What's wrong?" Gu Zhao hesitantly stretched out his hand to pinch his son's bulging cheek.

Fu Bao immediately let go, and with an eh, Li Zhouzhou glared at Mr. Grandpa, Fu Bao saw that his father was angry with his father, and immediately said: "Fufu is not angry with my father."

"Good son." Gu Zhao said solemnly after laughing, "Why did you puff up your face just now, like a frog."

Fu Bao's attention was diverted, "Frog?"

"I'll catch one for you when summer comes. It's being refrigerated right now."

The father and son chatted again, and it was Li Zhouzhou who pulled him back and asked Fufu why he was so angry just now and what he was thinking.With this interruption, Fu Bao lost his temper, and said a little distressed: "If Fu Fu goes to an official who is older than Daddy, will he still praise him? Fu Fu doesn't like it."

"Fufu never praised Brother Xiaokai before."

This matter.Gu Zhao touched the child's head, "You didn't praise Xiaokai when you saw Xiaokai, and you don't have to praise others in Zhaozhou. If your father moves to Beijing in the future, whether it's you or your father, go compare There is no need to flatter or boast when someone with a high status goes to a banquet. If you don’t like to go, then block it, or go to hide from laziness. If someone wants to flatter you, then go. Don’t do what you love.”

After hearing a long list, Fu Bao was in a daze, trying to understand.

"Father, how about our Fufu at home, we went out to be guests, and be more polite to the elders, and the rest remain the same." Li Zhouzhou said.He also didn't want Fubao to develop the habit of saying nice things to everyone he met and praising them.

Fu Bao understood now, and nodded happily.

"Father, Fufu is hungry." He flung himself into Father's arms acting coquettishly sticky.

Gu Zhao snatched it away, and smiled subtly, "Father will take you to dinner." He's clinging to his wife again!So Fubao gave Fubao a high-altitude rush.

Fu Bao giggled happily, "Be taller, Daddy~ Fu Fu Fei Fei!"

Li Da in the hall was also happy when he heard the laughter outside, and Fufu was fine.

Today's banquet is a few happy and some sad.

The Chen Lin family couldn't sit still anymore, so they went to Huang's house early in the morning on the seventh day of the seventh day.Boss Chen made a fuss about the current head of the Huang family before, but now he came with a big gift with a smile on his face. He came in and said he was meeting your father. He heard that the old man was not in good health, so he came to visit.

The Patriarch of the Huang family was young, about 27 or [-] years old, not as smooth and flexible as Boss Chen, and it was really unpleasant to meet him. He wanted to block him back, but he still let him in. He remembered his father's order.

After a while, the Lin family also arrived.

A greeting to the old man of the Huang family. In fact, the three families are of the same generation. Now that the two old masters of Chen and Lin can show their dignity, it is enough to give a face to the old man Huang.

Mr. Huang is more than 50 years old and looks seven or eight years older than the two. When the two families shouted, he accepted it, and said with a smile: "Okay, Erlang, bring the red envelope—oh, look at me, I'm so confused, the two They are all married, not a little doll who can get red envelopes."

"Don't get angry, sit down and have tea."

The two masters, Chen and Lin, sat down face-to-face, and laughed again. After a few strikes, they began to talk about it——Master Gu had a banquet yesterday, did you say anything?

"The two didn't go?" Mr. Huang was surprised when he asked knowingly, "The first two of our Zhaozhou City didn't go to Mr. Gu? That's weird."

The Chen and Lin families scolded old things in their hearts, holding them with smiles on their faces, and one of them said: "Your Majesty Gu is busy, so you may have forgotten." Let’s talk about things and help each other.”

"It's really a good thing." Mr. Huang squinted at the Chen family who was talking behind him. This is to remind the three families to help each other. If something happens to his family, the Chen family can also help.

fart.

If something happened to the Huang family, the Chen family would be the first to swallow his family's business.

When the Lin family heard that there was something really good about it, they asked the old man earnestly.Mr. Huang laughed and said: "What happened yesterday, I'm old and I'm not healthy and I'm confused, so I don't remember what to do. Master Gu said a lot, and Mrs. Gu said a lot. Anyway, I heard it was a great thing. "

Asking is a great thing, so I won't talk about the specific good things.

The Chen and Lin families: ...

In the end, the Huang family left, and the two families were even more scratching their heads.The Lin family said, "Could it be that old bastard lied to us?"

"It's not like, I'm not sure if it's a big good thing, but it's a good thing." Master Chen said.

So the words come back again, what's the good thing?

The two families inquired again, trying to find ways to inquire about it, and finally found out after two days that Mr. Gu wanted to run an official school, and gave the Huang family and the Li family's children of the Wang family admission places.

"Could it be that the three families have to contribute money to repair official schools?" What Master Chen thought was that Mr. Gu was squeezing their money in the same old way, just like building roads.

Master Lin: "No, none of them were confiscated, and I heard that a red envelope was given." I didn't find out the exact amount, but it was all hidden.

Master Chen felt weird now. The official school was not for the purpose of extracting money, but it was for real. If the children of the three families entered the official school and passed the imperial examination——

So how much of his Chen family will be occupied? !

The Chen family is still a fart.

No way.Master Chen was a little anxious, but he didn't think right, "Master Chen also wanted to build a school before, but then no one came, so let's forget it, maybe this time it will be the same, so let's talk nicely."

"I heard that Mr. Gu was in Hanlin before, and this place is very good." Master Lin praised, but he didn't understand, but it didn't prevent him from knowing how amazing this place is.

"What if they come together? Both of them were sent to government schools, but our two didn't." Master Lin regretted it.

Then why did you come to Zhaozhou?Master Chen wanted to say, but now it is not about this time, even if Mr. Gu offended someone and was sent to Zhaozhou, but the person has already arrived, Zhaozhou is remote, and the emperor is not rare, so it doesn't matter who offends.

On the contrary, Mr. Gu's previous experience shows that he is capable.

Mr. Chen suddenly felt a little regretful. When Mr. Gu held a banquet for the first time, he asked Da Naqiao to follow the other families and said that there is no need to be too diligent on the pole to take a look first. Now the intestines of regret are green. Didn’t you see that the surname Wang is coming out? .

A merchant in business, what else can Qiao take, and challenge the old man to be an official.

"No, I'll pass the letter of worship to Mr. Gu."

"Count me in, I'll hand it over, we won't be paying for money." The Lin family followed closely, afraid of being left behind.

Gu Zhao struggled for a few more days, and didn't post a post until the twelfth, but this time he didn't invite the two families to the mansion, but called them to the yamen, which seemed to be a business-like attitude.

When the other families heard about it, they immediately envied the three families who went to Li Mansion for a banquet on the sixth day of the lunar new year. When it's over, you have to follow closely.

When the masters of Chen and Lin arrived at the yamen, they found that the Li family was also there. After the three families greeted each other, they stood quietly and waited for Mr. Gu. Fortunately, after waiting for a long time, Mr. Gu arrived.

This time, no one dared to take it lightly, and saluted with sincerity and sincerity.

Gu Zhao received the reception in the main hall of the backyard of the yamen, and the yamen servants served tea. Gu Zhaoxian sat on the head chair and let the three families sit. One matter this time, if it is done well, I will keep it in my heart, and I will naturally call you if there is any good thing in the future. If it is not done well, there will be people behind."

As soon as the masters of the three families sat down firmly, they immediately got up again, and respectfully said yes, please give orders from Mr. Gu, and don't dare to fool around.Almost swear to God.

"You must have heard about Rong Guan's road construction, especially the Li family, the county magistrate—if your family members have the ability to pass the exam, I can follow the example of Mr. Chen. It's a long way to go." Gu Zhao hanged a sentence, and got back to the topic.

However, the hearts of the three families were already shaken.

Following the example of Lord Chen, if you make contact with the previous words, wouldn't you be like the magistrate of Minzhang County?

Can the county magistrate who is the son-in-law of the Li family be the same as the county magistrate of my own family?In the past, the imperial examination was difficult, and studying was not easy, but Mr. Gu is about to become an official and study, so——

The three of them didn't even dare to think about it, they were overjoyed in their hearts, and they showed some respect on their faces.

Gu Zhao: "I don't seek color and don't seek profit. Zhaozhou is fine. This is my official achievement. The road to Rongguan needs to be repaired. It doesn't matter if the current county magistrate doesn't mention it. The Li family will restrain it, and the Chen family will help. Let’s build the road first, first, don’t oppress the people, let it go smoothly, after the road is repaired, there will be other profitable business.”

If Gu Zhao said so before, the Chen and Li families would not be willing to cooperate and go to work, but now it is different, the big cakes are painted one by one, and the most important point is that Mr. Gu is not interested in color or profit, and it is true. Don't give it to a woman, it's a donation and it's used to build roads.

That's the name of the graph.

If Mr. Gu wants political achievements, then Zhaozhou is better. The achievements of road construction alone are not enough to transfer to Jingli - Mr. Chen also built roads earlier, which is useless.

So to put it bluntly, maybe Mr. Gu really has two brushes. If it is true, then they have caught up, and it will not be smooth in the future. If it is false, it will be hard work and money with them, nothing else. up.

This deal is worth it.

The two should be immediately.The Lin family was stunned, what about my family?

Gu Zhao: ...you were born to be a tool for the Chen family.But I can't say that, Gu Zhao went back to Yuan, "Zhaozhou City built roads, and the Lin family offered cheap Chenmi—"

"Sir, my lord, my Lin family is willing to donate the old grain that is under pressure in the warehouse!" Master Lin was impassioned.

Gu Zhao: ...and such a good thing, I originally said that I would give your family a place to study.

Since Mr. Lin volunteered to donate, Mr. Gu reluctantly accepted it, and said with a smile: "Boss Lin has a kind heart, and future generations should naturally be rich, and he must read and be polite. This kind of kindness remembers the common people. An official is also a good official.”

"Yes, yes, yes." Master Lin was excited.

Gu Zhao smiled, "If it goes well, at the end of the new year, the official school will be established in autumn and winter, and the official will make the decision. I will give the Lin family an extra seat. The other families are originally two-person."

Master Lin knelt down on the spot to thank Mr. Gu.

Gu Zhao helped him up himself, and gently patted Master Lin's arm, "Our good days in Zhaozhou are still to come, Boss Lin needs to take care of himself."

After hearing this, the other two families felt cordial and excited in their hearts, and wished they could go to Rongguan to do business now.
