"I hope you can stay calm and let your daughter finish her sentence."

Gu Wu looked at her serious expression and had a premonition of the importance of the matter. He nodded and said, "If anything happens, just say it."

Gu Yu began to talk: "This matter started three years ago. You all know that I like to go hunting in the mountains."

Gu Wu and Yang Shi looked at each other and said yes. Gu Yu continued: "It was also this season that year. I met an old man in the mountains."

"He saw that his daughter was very powerful, so he taught me a set of martial arts and taught me how to use my brute strength."

"At first, I didn't learn it smoothly, but after continuous hard work, I finally understood the secret. When the old man saw that I was making progress, he taught me more advanced techniques."

"After several years of training, my daughter dare not say that her martial arts skills are invincible, at least it is difficult to find any rival among her peers."

Gu Wu and Yang were shocked when they heard this. They had noticed that Gu Yu was unusual before, but because of that incident and Gu Yu's physical condition, they did not dare to ask more questions.

She was deeply afraid of irritating Gu Yu again and making her do something unwise.

The couple chose silence, but that didn't mean they didn't have doubts about Gu Yu's behavior. For several months, the couple secretly observed Gu Yu's every move, and every tiny habit and movement did not escape their eyes.

After this period of observation, it was found that Gu Yu's words, deeds, and instant reactions had not changed at all.

Only then did they convince themselves that their daughter was still their daughter and not some wild monster from the mountain that had taken over her body.

Yixin told herself that the reason why Gu Yu changed like this was probably because she met a noble man at some point in time that they didn't know and taught her good martial arts.

Now, Gu Yu took the initiative to confess all this, which coincided with their previous suspicions.

Otherwise, they still can't understand how a native peasant girl can master the superb martial arts that can only be found in story books?

Gu Wu frowned and asked, "Where is he now?"

Gu Yu's original plan was to find an excuse to go out and practice for a year and a half after Han Yili left, and then confess his martial arts skills to Gu Wu and his wife when he came back.

As a result, God's calculations are not as good as those of others, plans always fail to keep up with changes, and accidents always happen when you least expect them. As a result, she has no chance to tell the secret now.

What happened tonight made Gu Yu feel a strong sense of crisis.

Although the Wang family is a small family that cannot be put on the stage, they are really from the city.

Her family is a peasant family with no roots, but as their business gets better and better. It will inevitably arouse the jealousy and jealousy of some people, who will use dirty means to persecute her family behind the scenes.

For example, like the Wang family, even a small family in the county would dare to bully you with a stern look.

Not to mention the powerful and aristocratic families in the county. If they want to occupy your shop or make it impossible for you to gain a foothold in the county, they can easily accuse you through family connections.

By then, they may not even have the chance to return to the village to farm.

The reason why she came to see Gu Wu and Yang was, on the one hand, to tell the two elders about the Chamber of Commerce, and to let them know that their family was also powerful and they didn't have to worry about those people doing things that would harm her family.

At the same time, I also hope that they can straighten their backs and stop groveling when facing powerful people.

As for martial arts, I can only make up a suitable reason: "Half a year ago, he came to look for his daughter, gave her some men and traveled around. My daughter doesn't know where he went."

"Give you some manpower?" Yang asked with a frown. Gu Wu also looked at Gu Yu, hoping that she could continue talking and not keep his heart hanging. "Yes, after he gave his daughter manpower, she arranged for these people to open shops in various cities. Now the Yunxi Chamber of Commerce has been established..."

"As my health became more and more inconvenient during this period, Fei Ge sent a message to the person in charge of Fucheng to arrange for five people with extraordinary abilities to come to our home. They can protect us and run the shop at the same time."

"...Next year, parents won't have to work as hard as this year."

"Wait a minute, what's the Chamber of Commerce?" Gu Wu suddenly asked.

"Yunxi Chamber of Commerce, what's wrong?" Gu Yu looked at him with some confusion.

"Are you sure your name is Yunxi Chamber of Commerce?" Gu Wu looked directly into Gu Yu's eyes, trying to see something in her eyes. Gu Yu nodded: "Yes, Yunxi Chamber of Commerce is our family's industry."

As the reputation of the shop spread, businessmen from both the county town and the capital city came to have dinner, and occasionally mentioned matters about the capital city in their chats.

And Meng Qi also came to the house from time to time, and mentioned some things about Fucheng in the chat. Gu Wu naturally knew about the existence of this chamber of commerce.

Gu Yu smiled helplessly and said, "Our family is from an authentic farming family, but once the money earned from doing business reaches a certain amount, our family will automatically be registered as a merchant."

"If it weren't for the help of my benefactor, I might have chosen to become a merchant in order to survive. After all, only with money can I live my life."

"But God doesn't seem to want our family to be registered as a businessman, so my daughter asked the people left behind by the benefactor to take care of the business, while I myself was the one behind the scenes."

"In this way, we can be careful when using money and not expand our business too much. If our children want to pursue an official career in the future, they will have the opportunity to choose."

well! In other words, this era is really frustrating!

She clearly remembered that a hundred years ago, Daqi had abolished the law that prohibited businessmen from becoming officials. But in modern times, those in power, I don’t know what they were thinking, actually issued decrees to clearly define the hierarchical system of scholars, farmers, workers, and merchants.

This also leads to the fact that once the money earned from doing business reaches a certain amount, the household registration is automatically included in the business registration. What if future generations want to become officials in the future?

Don't think about it. In the eyes of the superiors, you are just a leek waiting to be cut. If you want to become an official, just dream!

Gu Wu and Yang couldn't react to Gu Yu's words.

This approach is easy for her who has memories of past lives. But for the Gu Wu couple who grew up in the feudal dynasty, it took some time to digest.

Therefore, while the two elders were thinking, Gu Yu was not in a hurry to ask them to respond and sat quietly aside.

After about a cup of tea, Gu Wu slowly said: "So, those merchants who travel between the capital and the county say they are omnipotent chambers of commerce, are actually our family's?"

"Yes, the Chamber of Commerce belongs to our family." Gu Yu immediately replied: "About tomorrow, the person in charge of Fucheng will bring people to our home."

Then he said to Yang: "This time Guan Xian will bring some gold and silver. Think about it, where should I put it?"

"You still want to bring money here?" Yang also heard about the legend of the Chamber of Commerce.

At that time, the guest was very talkative and could only say one thing in her heart: the affairs of the big shot were none of her business.

Tonight, Gu Yu suddenly came over and told the couple that the Chamber of Commerce belonged to their family, which made her feel like she was in a dream.
