Take space to raise cubs on the road to escape

Chapter 350
So it turned out that Gu Lan understood that, to put it bluntly, he lacked confidence.

Money is king, and scholars who have no money will also be looked down upon.

It is really difficult for the poor to stand up.

Fortunately, I was smart and got money on the way to escape from famine, otherwise it would be hard for a penny to beat a hero.

"Why don't we go to the tea stall?" Gu Lan pointed to the tea stall not far from his carriage.

"Okay, Xiaosheng invites you to drink tea." Meng Qingyu had no objection.

I had a fight with someone just now, standing here is quite noticeable, it's really not a place to talk.

He is not having a good time now, but he can still afford a meal of tea, not to mention that he is helping his own people.

In fact, apart from having no house and no fixed place to live, life is actually better than some people. Although he has not found any job, he can still copy books. In fact, it is enough to maintain his family every month. But if It is not enough to want to live comfortably or continue to study.

Soon the two came to the tea stand, and the owner of the tea stand quickly served two bowls of rough tea.

Xia Mu in the carriage watched curiously as the master sat down on the tea stand with the somewhat embarrassed young master, and stretched his neck quietly.

... a bit astringent, Gulan put down the teacup after drinking the tea.

"I heard that Mr. Meng is looking for something to do," Gu Lan said directly.

"..." Meng Qingyu was stunned for a moment, then looked at the kind-hearted young man in a daze, with doubts in his eyes.

How did this son know that he was looking for a job.

"Don't get me wrong, I have some friendship with the people in Qi's Commercial Firm. My son went there to find a job before." Gu Lan smiled lightly and took the initiative to explain the confusion.

Meng Qingyu was silent, so that's the case, this young master's clothes and demeanor are indeed not like ordinary people, and it is possible that he has friendship with Qi's shop.

"There is such a thing, but I don't know what the young master means?" Meng Qingyu, who was in doubt, asked directly without beating around the bush.

"Under Gulan, Mr. Meng, don't be your son, just call me by my name."

"Gu Gongzi" Meng Qing bowed his hands.

Gulan: "..."

Well, I just met, as long as it is not a stunned young man, it is true that no one will call others by their first names.

"I have a job here, and someone recommended Mr. Meng to me."

"It's Qi's firm."

Gu Lan nodded, this is not difficult to guess.

"I don't know what kind of job it is?" If he had a stable job and he copied books on weekdays, life would be much easier
"The job is related to what Mr. Meng has learned over the years, but I don't know whether Mr. Meng is willing to leave the city."

Meng Qingyu was taken aback, "Could it be that this job is not in Yunzhou City." If so, he really has to think about it. After all, it is difficult to leave the homeland, even the Yue family may not agree.

"That's not true, it's just that it's not in the city, but in Lijia Village, more than ten miles away in the western suburbs."

Outside the city, Meng Qingyu frowned.

If this work suits his wishes, he doesn't care, but he is afraid that his wife, who is used to living in the city, will disagree.

After all, the conditions in the countryside are indeed not as good as those in the city.

"Let's talk about what work it is first?" Meng Qingyu actually guessed it when Mr. Gu said it was related to what he had learned over the years.

"Our Lijia Village has just built a village school, and now we are still short of a teacher who can enlighten the children."

Sure enough, as he thought, although he was excited, his heart became much less when he thought about how many children in the country were able to study.

I'm afraid I won't have much income?

"Mr. Meng, don't be in a hurry to refuse, first listen to me and talk about the conditions."

Meng Qingyu nodded, but he was not in a hurry, he listened first before making a decision.

"Mr. Meng, as long as he agrees to come to Lijia Village to be his wife, he will have full board and lodging and two pieces of clothing every quarter. The salary will be one to two five yuan per month, and it will increase every year for the first five years."

The more Meng Qingyu heard it, the more surprised he became, and he couldn't believe it. The conditions were too good.

This is the monthly silver for the Mengxue masters in the city, and it does not include board and lodging, let alone clothes, let alone a yearly increase.

Of course, this is incomparable with the masters of the academy. He would not be envious of any master who is not a couple of silver a month.

Meng Qingyu was really moved, but was it true?

It can't be a liar, but with his poor and white appearance, who would lie to him?

But he had never heard of this Li family village, Meng Qingyu looked at Mr. Gu suspiciously.

"What Mr. Gu said is true? It's just that I've never heard of a Li Family Village in the western suburbs."

"Of course it's true. As for Mr. Meng, it's normal that he hasn't heard of it. The Li Family Village has been built for less than a year."

"Newly built?" Meng Qingyu was even more surprised.

We must know that the government's approval for the establishment of new villages is relatively strict, unless there is a famine year, when a large number of refugees flood in, and new villages will be established in order to accommodate these talents, but these villages generally choose relatively remote and desolate places.

But Mr. Gu said that Lijia Village is only a dozen miles away from the city, which is intriguing. If it is true, what is the origin of this Lijia Village.

"Yes, if Mr. Meng is worried, I can go to the Yamen with Mr. Meng."

"That's not necessary, I'm just a little surprised." Meng Qing shook his head.

Although it might be possible to make progress by retreating and deliberately say this to make him believe it, Meng Qingyu is still willing to believe it.

First, he really has nothing to covet, except for the several hundred copies of money that the shopkeeper just gave him for copying books, he has nothing on him, and even the clothes on his body are two or three years old.

Second, this young master Gu helped him earlier, and he seemed to be upright, with calm and calm eyes, not like someone with vicious thoughts.

"Then what does Mr. Meng mean?"

"Can I think about it? And I need to go back and discuss it with my family." Meng Qingyu couldn't make up his mind.

"Of course, you really should discuss it with your family. If Mr. Meng decides to come, you can go directly to Lijia Village in the western suburbs to look for him or the village chief of Lijia Village."

"Young Master Meng, please consider carefully." Gu Lan bowed.

"I will seriously consider it next time." Meng Qingyu returned the gift.

At the same time, the last doubts in my mind disappeared.

It's true to be able to talk about Lijia Village so calmly, otherwise he will be in trouble after he goes there.

Going back and discussing with his wife gave him some confidence. He still didn't want to miss such a good opportunity.

"Young Master Meng is drinking tea."

"Master Gu drinking tea."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and then Meng Qingyu took his leave.

"My lord, where are you going?" Xia Mu asked.

He heard the conversation between the master and the son. Although he didn't know the final result, he didn't want to go to the last Tongsheng's family.

"Go home." Gu Lan was in a good mood.

She had a hunch that this Meng Tongsheng would come to Lijia Village in all likelihood.

"Hey..." Xia Mu turned his horse's head around.

……

The next day, the Gu family was very lively early in the morning, two waves of people came, one was sent by Xiang Yunjin, and the other was Qi Heng.

They all invited her to the Dongjiao Racecourse tomorrow, especially the people sent by Qi Heng reminded him to bring more things in a more subtle way.

Gu Lan looked at them dumbfounded, and then asked the housekeeper to send them away.

Not to mention, she really forgot about the racecourse if no one came.

One day passed like this. Before going to bed, Gu Lan thought about what happened tomorrow, and discussed it with his son seriously.

An An nodded to show that she knew, and there was no big reaction. He was used to his mother going out frequently these days.
