Chapter 57, Model Brother

"I fell a little today and was laughed at!" Gu Jun said, a little annoyed.

The autumn test is coming soon, I don't know how the eldest brother is doing in the imperial capital?
Gu An was silent.

Gu Jun hugged Gu An's shoulders, and asked with concern, "What's the matter? I don't think you look right, are you sick?"

He reached out to explore Gu An's forehead, then touched his own.

"I don't have a fever. Could it be that I was scolded by my master? But we are students, so it's normal to be scolded by father and son. What's wrong with you? Could it be that you have a girl you like? Let me tell you, there is a beautiful girl in the girls' class A It's very, what's it called..." Gu Jun scratched his head.

"It's Ke Yimei!" Gu Qi hurriedly said.

Gu Jun was stunned for a moment, and kicked Gu Qi, "Good boy, you dare to ask for the girl's name even before you have all grown hair!"

"Second brother, didn't you ask, I just happened to know, I heard that she is the daughter of the county magistrate's family!"

Gu Jun pursed his lips, "So it's the daughter of the county magistrate's family, no wonder the scene is so big!"

Gu An said nothing.

But he saw his own carriage coming, but the person who came to pick him up today was not his father, but Sanbo.

"..."

Gu An was suddenly upset.

You must know that since the family had a carriage, Dad has never been lost once.

No matter it is windy or rainy, he will pick it up in person.

What happened today?
"Three Uncles!"

"Hurry up and get in the carriage, let's go back!" Gu Laosan said.

Gu Jun and Gu Qi called for someone and got into the carriage.

Gu An stood where he was, "Uncle San, where is my father?"

"Your father..." Gu Laosan swallowed his saliva.

The children in the family are all very smart, and he knew he couldn't hide it, so he reached out and patted Gu An's shoulder, "Your mother has had a miscarriage, and your father is in a bad mood, so let me pick you up, it's hard to say, You'll know when you get home!"

Miscarriage?

Gu An is not a fool, on the contrary, he reads all kinds of books, even secretly read the fire prevention map that is not suitable for him to read now.

He knew what miscarriage meant.

Also understand that he has lost a brother or sister.

But he didn't yell or make trouble, but calmly got into the carriage and sat on the side.

Put your hands flat on your knees, and keep your waist straight.

Gu Jun patted Gu An's shoulder lightly.

Gu Qi also stretched out his hand to pat.

Accompany him silently.

Seeing it, Gu Laosan felt uncomfortable, sat on the carriage, pulled the rein of the horse, and headed home.

When Gu An returned home, Tian Yuan greeted him, "Something happened at home, and I don't know what it is!"

"Thank you for your concern, I'll talk to you later!" Gu An Chao Tianyuan nodded and entered the main courtyard.

Gu Lao walked around in the yard, seeing Gu An, his eyes were red.

"Father, I'll go in and see mother!"

"Hey, you go, persuade her, let her not be sad, for you, for joy, get better soon!"

"Ok!"

Gu An nodded.

Stepping into the room, there was still a faint smell of blood in the room.

He saw Luo Shi lying on the kang, and Gu Huanxi sitting on the side.

"Mother, sister!"

"An'er (brother)"

Gu An sat on the stool beside the kang, stretched out his hand to hold Luo Shi's hand, and asked softly, "Did mother accidentally, or was she killed by others?"

His own mother, he knew.

When she was happy back then, she was so cautious, but now, although she doesn't want this, she is still careful and appropriate.

Gu An did not believe that Luo Shi would do it himself.

Yes, he came out, and he could see Roche's thoughts.

In fact, he wants to say that he also has this kind of thought, but they are all his younger brothers and sisters, he will like them, but no one can replace Huanxi's position.

"I..." Luo Shi's eyes were slightly red, and he whispered, "It's not my mother, it's your aunt..."

Luo Shi paused, now she and Luo Xiuyu are no longer sisters, took a deep breath, "It was He Luo Shi who pushed me!"

Gu An let out a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, mother, I know how to do it!"

"An'er..."

Gu An patted Luo Shi's hand, "Mother, you have to be good, this family can't live without you, and my sister and I can't live without you!"

If the father dies, the mother will not remarry if life is not difficult.

But if the mother dies, the father will remarry within a few years.

Where there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather.

Luo Shi slightly nodded, "Mother will get better, she will definitely get better!"

The Gu family made a net profit of 420 taels this time, and each of them got [-] taels of silver. The two sets of buckles that Gu Huanxi made privately were decided by the old man. How much money.

Shu Dayi and Gu Laoshi made the matter very clear. At the end of September, at the latest, 27 will come to pick up the discounts. When the time comes to meet with Huitong Bank, Gu Laoshi will make more than [-] sets of discounts.

The satin cloth was produced first by Shuji, and Gu Laoshi made it here, and he also gave a deposit of 5000 taels of silver, but this deposit was deposited in Huitong Bank, and the deposit was in Gu Laoshi's hands, but he could not take it.

With money, Gu honestly feels at ease.

When Dang even handed over the family to Gu Qian, he was busy looking for someone to divide the business.

He doesn't plan to make a lot of money for a set of deductions, as long as he can earn ten to fifteen cents.

The yamen has already taken care of it, and ordinary people who dare to oppose the Shu family are not just impatient.

Gu Laoshi has been busy going in and out these few days, and he looks haggard a lot.

"Father!" Gu Huanxi called softly.

Gu Laoshi rubbed his forehead and watched his daughter walking slowly. He was a little tired, but immediately became energetic.

Going forward to hug Gu Huanxi, tossing it a few times, before hugging him in his arms, "Why are you here?"

"Daddy has worked hard these days!"

There are many things at home, especially my mother...

Gu Huanxi took a deep breath.

She also felt sorry for the unretained brother or sister.

She loves Gu Yong so much, let alone her younger siblings.

"What's so hard for Daddy, come, sit down and talk to Daddy!"

"it is good!"

Father and daughter sat next to each other.

Gu Laoshi watched, then stretched out his hand to rub Gu Huanxi's head.

His daughter, anywhere is fine!
"Daddy, are you going to take all the buckles out?"

"Yeah, if I really want to do it myself, I'm too busy. The main reason is that I don't have much capital. If Dad has money, I can build two houses by myself and hire someone to do it!"

You can't throw away what you have at home, but you can make more money, who doesn't like it!

Gu Huanxi took out the 1000 taels of silver note and placed it in front of Gu Laoshi.

"This is……"

"This is my salary. Now that I'm still young, I don't need to worry about anything. I have food and clothing at home. It's useless to put this money with me. Daddy, listen to me and rent the yard. Let's ask for it again." Let's do the work!"

Gu Laoshi looked at his daughter.

Heart sour.

He had worked so hard for many years to save a few hundred taels of silver.

After a few days of hard work, the daughter got 1000 taels.

"joy……"

"Father, we are a family. The third uncle and the fifth uncle are reliable, and the aunt and aunt in the family are also of one mind. We should work together. I will lend you the money. Make money first, and then give me the profit at the end of the year." Already!"

Gu honestly thought.

If you have this money, rent a few yards, and hire hundreds of women to make deductions, how much will you get in a month?

It's not impossible to distribute it to others, but it's the business to make money yourself.

"Daddy, I've heard what you said in the He family. Daddy, that person dared to come to our house to go crazy. What did he rely on? Her in-law's family is richer than us. If our family has everything, how dare she Are you aimless?"

dare not.

Even if her house is letting out rumors now, there are quite a few people who come to watch at the door.

She went out shopping with grandma and grandpa, and when they met neighbors on the road, all of them had wrinkled smiles on their faces.

They all want to come here to make money and get a share of the pie.

On weekdays, there are quite a few people who come to visit, Baba will bring some things over, and come to sit for a while, they are all well-behaved and polite.

Of course, if this business is with another family, it may not be able to keep it, but this is He Shuji. Shu Ji's master is the uncle of the current emperor and the elder brother of the queen mother. He also has two brothers who are the princes of the country. Who would dare to brazenly rob the royal relatives?
Gu Laoshi nodded, "You are right, Daddy listens to you!"

Gu honestly accepted the bank note.

As soon as Gu Huanxi left, he called Gu Lao San and Gu Lao Wu to the old man's room to discuss the matter.

I'm still willing to share a little bit with Gu Wenshi and Gu Yushi's family, but it's limited to a hundred people, and if there are too many, it will be gone.

Gu honestly planned to do the rest by himself.

"..."

Old man Gu pondered for a moment, "According to the fourth brother, let's just buy two women to wash and cook, and wait for other places to clean up. Let's see if there is any space here. Let's buy it and repair the house. We are A family should live together, not in the city, let's go outside the city!"

"Father, let's wait until next year. There are still a few months left, and we can still make a fortune. When we have money, we can buy land and repair a house by ourselves, and live together!" Gu honestly said.

The division is still the old rule, and the division into four remains unchanged.

Gu Yushi and Gu Wenshi didn't expect that Gu Honest planned to do it by himself, and was willing to share a share with them.

The two of them didn't dare to be slow, they immediately packed up their things and went back to their natal homes. Both of their natal homes were considered well-off, but compared to the current Gu's family, they must be much worse.

They went in the morning and didn't eat lunch, so they brought their brothers and father back to discuss with Gu Laoshi.

Gu honestly still said, I can do it for you, but it must be done well.

Even if this matter is settled.

The three brothers of the Gu family searched for houses everywhere. They wanted to be easy to get in and out of, but also to be lenient. This kind of thing can be done in two days with a brokerage firm. As soon as the notice was posted, almost the entire Kaiyuan County and surrounding counties were in a state of excitement.

Do you make money by going to Gu's house to make discounts?
Four or five taels of silver a month, more than a man earns, do you mean making money?
In the past, people crowded their heads and tried to get in, but now the Gu family has put up a notice to recruit people, and the streets near the Gu family are crowded.

There are many girls and daughter-in-laws in Shiliba Village, Kaiyuan County who feel that they are dexterous.

The Gu family members were so busy that their throats were smoky. They registered one after another, and then asked them to sign and draw a deposit, and then compared their household registrations.

After a busy day, the whole family is exhausted.

Back home, Gu Qian's heart ached.

But there is no way to make money.

Take out the food and let the son and daughter-in-law eat.

"Mother, what do you think of that woman's matter?" Gu asked honestly.

"I watched a few, but the food is not good enough!"

The Gu family is a bit demanding in terms of food. They want good food and cleanliness.

This is bought for a lifetime.

Naturally, you have to choose slowly.

"Mother, why don't my fifth sibling and I come back to do it when we have time!" Gu Wenshi said.

"I don't need you. You are so busy outside that you are dizzy. Just come back and eat ready-made ones. Maybe my requirements are too high. I lower my requirements. If it's really not good, just buy it and teach me slowly!" Gu Qianshi said, thinking This approach works.

When Shu Ji delivered the satin cloth, the button workshop officially started.

Every morning, this East Er Hutong is very lively, because several houses rented by Gu's family are all on this side of East Er Hutong.In the morning, more people are sold and eaten. Many villages use ox carts to deliver people and pick them up at night, which has given many people more ways to make money.

The Gu family's reputation spread far and wide, and everyone in the surrounding counties knew that the Gu family had hooked up with the royal relatives, and this was going to make a lot of money.

Gu Laoshi is even more curious about the Gu family who is now the head of the family.

The Gu family is booming, and dangers and conspiracies are gradually approaching...

Luo's
Regret?
The Luo family regretted it.

Luo Xiucai sat on a chair with a gloomy expression.

Luo Chen cursed, "He has no conscience, he is going to be rich and powerful now, even our mother and father are gone, why am I so miserable, and I gave birth to such a thing..."

The three brothers of the Luo family sat aside and had different thoughts.

The same goes for the three daughters-in-law, each with their own plans.

Luo Zhang's face was a bit ugly. She never dreamed that the Gu family would become rich overnight. This is simply unimaginable.

To say that the ones who are really happy are the second house Luo Guangzong and Luo Xu's, because they rented a shop in Donger Hutong and planned to sell breakfast.

Breakfast and pasta are sold in the front, and people live in the back. The rent is a bit more expensive, but there are many people there, and the women can make money, so they are willing to buy something to eat, and they will not feel constrained to buy something for the children at home.

The boys in the second room have all made plans. While helping the family with work, they plan to get a carriage to pick up and drop off people, and sell some rouge and gouache. They can earn a lot in a month.

I used to feel that life was boring when I was at home, but now that I have separated, I find that there is hope for life.

"Father, mother, let me tell you, let's go directly to the Gu family, find fourth sister, and ask her to share some business with us!" Rhodes said loudly.

The more I think about it, the more reliable it becomes.

Luo Xiucai still didn't speak.

Speaking of the past, he could still say something, but Luo's child was gone, and no one from Luo's family went to take a look, so he couldn't hold back his old face.

"Father, talk!" Rhode urged.

The whole person's heart is hot.

He had heard that both the Yu family and the Wen family could hire 100 people to work. He didn't know how much he would make a month, but it must be quite a lot.

Now that he has grandchildren, he also wants to make more money.

"Tell me, talk about it, talk about it, useless things, usually don't move around, but now I think about it!" Luo Xiucai cursed angrily.

It just pissed him off.

If he knew that the Gu family had such good luck, they could let Yao'er do it like this.

It must be impossible.

This human heart, if it is biased, it is biased.

He was partial to his son, thinking that his daughter was the water that was thrown out. In addition, Luo Shi had always been relentless and resigned, so he underestimated her even more.

The three brothers did not speak.

Luo Xiucai thought for a while before saying, "Go, everyone else calls back, saying that the family is separated now, call them back for a reunion dinner!"

"..."

Luo Guangzong and Luo Xushi looked at each other face to face.

Luo Xu kept winking at her husband.

"Father, I'm planning to open a restaurant in the county. I may not be able to stay at home. Now that the family is separated, the family is waiting for me to earn money to eat!"

Luo Xiucai looked at Luo Guangzong, and then at the others, "Then pack up and prepare something, your mother and I will go and see Xiulan!"

"..."

Luo Guangzong didn't say anything.

Even if they go now, the Gu family may not let them in.

When I met Gu Laoshi on the street that day, he went to say hello with a thick face, but Gu Laoshi ignored him and left.

Now, the Gu family probably hates the Luo family very much.

Parents are going to lose face, they just go.

He will not go!

The day of September has cooled down.

The Gu family was still busy, Gu Huanxi was still doing nothing, staying with Luo Shi at home, Gu Yong kept making Luo Shi laugh, and the atmosphere in the house gradually improved.

After Luo Shi's miscarriage, she also took care of herself carefully, rested well, and her body gradually recuperated.

Although the family members didn't say anything, they were all worried about Gu Cheng who was far away in the imperial capital.

Imperial Capital
Nowadays, the sage loves talents, so candidates from all over the world are invited to come to the imperial capital for examinations. If there are good ones, they will directly enter the best Guangming Academy in the imperial capital.

The masters in Guangming Academy are all great Confucian scholars of the dynasty, most of them are from the Wei family, and the current dean is still Wei Shuran, the prime minister back then.

Although he is old now, his knowledge is very good.

Gu Cheng has already prepared everything needed for the exam. He is very calm and calm, and there is not even any fluctuation in his heart.

Hit or miss, he doesn't care now.

Especially after Chu Huaixi came back that day, he was trembling with fright, took his hand and said, "The capital is too scary, those men in black appeared from nowhere, stabbed at the second prince with their swords in their hands, and then appeared again If the man in black is killed, the two groups of men in black will fight like that!"

Gu Cheng knew that Chu Huaixi was a literati who grew up in a greenhouse since he was a child. He has eaten pork, but he has never seen a pig running or even slaughtered.

He knows martial arts, but has no actual combat experience.

It's normal to be afraid.

It was only then that Gu Cheng realized that the battle between the crown princes was more cruel and intense than he had imagined, so he had to calm down, not be anxious, not afraid, not afraid, if he wanted to be a master, he had to have a calmness that surpassed ordinary people.

"Subchain..."

Gu Cheng looked at Chu Huaixi, "What's wrong?"

"I'm nervous and scared. I might not pass the exam this time!" Chu Huaixi said with a deep sigh.

There is confusion in the eyes.

Gu Cheng stretched out his hand, and patted Chu Huaixi's shoulder lightly, "With an upright heart, a righteous spirit, a calm mind, and no fear of gain or loss, you will surely lead to the bright road!"

"Zilian, you really don't want to be a farmer, your mind is much better than mine!"

Gu Cheng smiled slightly, "I am the eldest grandson, the eldest brother, and my younger siblings all look up to me. Naturally, I have to be calm and set a good example. Only when I strengthen them can someone protect them. My parents are gentle and kind. If I am weak, who will come?" protect them?"

"..."

"My sister is only five years old. She is well-behaved, sensible, caring and gentle. She has never seen her bully anyone. She treats everyone with a smile. When she returned to her grandfather's house, she was pushed to the ground and hurt her forehead. Go beat the autumn wind!" Gu Cheng said, his hands slightly clenched into fists.
