Chapter 1391 I Have a Brother

Tang Tongpan's rank was lower than that of Magistrate Xi, so he gave it to Shangguan, but he refused to accept it, so he could only thank him again: "Thank you so much, Lord Magistrate."

Gu Jinan had doubts in his heart. Magistrate Xi just gave them gifts, but also gave them to General Guo... This case had nothing to do with General Guo.

Could it be that Magistrate Xi wanted to use them to gain access to General Guo so that he could borrow troops from General Guo when something happened in the future?

He guessed correctly, that was what Magistrate Xi meant.

And Magistrate Xi not only wanted to curry favor with General Guo, but also wanted to curry favor with Mr. Ouyang, so he prepared so many gifts.

"It's getting late. You can set off. I won't send them off." Magistrate Xi summoned Team Leader Shi and asked him to take the officials to escort Gu Jinan and the others out of Tong'an Palace.

…

After seeing the people off, Bantou Shi came back to report: "Sir, Tang Tong sentenced them to have left safely, don't worry."

"I understand." Magistrate Xi nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Don't you have two adult sons at home? There is also your eldest brother's son, who has learned boxing and kicking from you since he was a child. Bring them all here, let's After Master Su has seen it, if there is no problem, he will work as an errand in the government office."

Both his sons and his eldest nephew can enter the government office!

Bantou Shi was shocked, thinking that he had heard wrongly, and did not dare to answer.

Master Su pushed him and said with a smile: "Boss Shi, what are you doing standing still? Why don't you quickly thank the magistrate?"

Only then did Bantou Shi come to his senses, and with a plop, he knelt down in front of Magistrate Xi and said with tears streaming down his face: "Thank you for your humiliation, Lord Magistrate... You are the reborn parents of our Shi family!"

As he said that, he kowtowed to Magistrate Xi three times.

Magistrate Xi was very satisfied. After receiving the courtesy, he waved Bantou Shi off.

Master Su wanted to laugh when he saw it. Shi Bantou thanked him too much. Magistrate Xi would let Shi Bantou's son and nephew work as errands in the government office because there was really no one available nowadays.

Team leader Lin has already led a group of government officials to guard Jia's house until the Chinese New Year. Nowadays, the world is in chaos again. I don't know when the farmers who have been forced to live will cause chaos. In the government office, We need more government officials.

After Bantou Shi left, Master Su said: "My lord is wise enough to turn his attention to the Ouyang family and General Guo."

Magistrate Xi smiled and said: "Although Ming Shaoqing didn't flatter me enough, the Ouyang family and the Guo family are not bad, so it's not a loss after all."

He added: "This Gu family should not be underestimated. A refugee who fled the famine was so favored by so many powerful people. It's really..."

It makes people’s teeth itch with envy!

Master Su said: "Gu Jin'an is knowledgeable and is Jianghuai's second junior San Yuan Lang. It's not surprising that he is favored by noble people."

Magistrate Xi took a sip and said: "There are so many educated people. According to me, the Gu family is so lucky because the ancestral graves are smoking."

…

But on the way from Tong'an Mansion to He'an Mansion, in the Gu family's carriage, Gu Jinan was asking Dou Shaodong's family: "The people sent by Prefect Xi to deliver gifts still need help from Dou Shaodong's family, thank you for the hard work."

"Hey, Gu Jin'an, you want to dismiss my young master's family with just three words? How much trouble did my young master's family help you solve during this trip to Tong'an Mansion?"

Dou Shaodong's family took the opportunity to ask for benefits: "I am a businessman, and what I care about is profit. Let's do this, in exchange for a hundred high-quality hams."

Gu's hams are graded. This top-quality ham is one that looks good and tastes great, and is a real delicacy.

"A hundred hams, you are robbing me!" Brother Cheng refused: "No, a hundred fine hams are too much. They cost a lot of money, so I can't give them to you for free."

Dou Shaodong was so angry that he stretched out his hand, pinched Brother Cheng's face accurately, and said angrily: "You brat, you still dare to be stingy, I have helped your family so much, is it too much to ask for a hundred hams from your family? "

Give it or not, or I will strangle you to death.

"Ah, let me go quickly, it hurts!" Brother Cheng grabbed Dou Shaodong's hand, but as a child, he was not as strong as Dou Shaodong's, and his face turned red from being pinched.

Dou Shaodong bared his teeth and said with a smile: "You brat, are you a man? I pinch you and you scream in pain, you loser."

Gu Jinan frowned when he heard this, raised his hand and grabbed Dou Shaodong's wrist joint, and squeezed it hard.

"Hiss!" Dou Shaodong's family let go in pain and glared at Gu Jinan: "Just spoil him, spoil him into a useless person, and he will be pestering you for the rest of his life, asking you to control what he eats, drinks, and toilets."

"That's nonsense. My brother Cheng is already very sensible and not a waste." Gu Jinan looked at Brother Cheng's face. After seeing that the skin was not broken, he felt relieved and warned Dou Shaodong's family: "Don't pinch his face. Leave it alone." It’s not good to have scars.”

Dou Shaodong's family said in disgust: "What's wrong with scars? Men should have some scars."

Besides, this kid Gu Jincheng was raised to be fat and fat, which makes him feel comfortable to hold.

Cheng Geer said: "I am not a military commander. I want to be a civil servant like my brother. People will laugh at me if I have scars on my face."

So stop pinching me!

Dou Shaodong's back was leaning against the wall of the carriage, looking at Brother Cheng: "Oh, if you want me to not pinch you, then you should practice your fists and kicks more. Once you beat me, you can save your face." .”

"Hmph!" Brother Cheng was so rebuffed that he couldn't find anything to say. He lay down next to Gu Jinan and said, "Brother, I'm hungry and I'm cold."

After hearing this, Gu Jinan took out a still hot pie from the box in the carriage and handed it to him. He also took a quilt and covered him with it.

Dou Shaodong's family frowned when they saw it, and said to Gu Jinan: "He is nine years old, you really can't spoil him like this, he is not disabled, and you can't take care of it yourself when he is hungry or cold?"

Gu Jinan said: "You don't have to worry that I will spoil him. He usually takes care of himself at home. This time, he did a good job and asked Hu Dawen to testify in court. He has done meritorious service, and that's why I am so good to him."

Moreover, Brother Cheng will be nine years old in a few days. Even if he grows up after nine years old, even if he wants to take care of Brother Cheng in the future, Brother Cheng will probably not be happy. That's why I wanted to take care of Brother Cheng while he was still young.

Another thing is that because of the incident with the third girl, he beat Brother Cheng too hard. He didn't want Brother Cheng to be afraid of his brother, so he took good care of Brother Cheng recently.

Dou Shaodong's family was speechless after hearing this, and asked in confusion: "Why are you so nice to something like your younger brother?"

He wanted to strangle his two younger brothers immediately!

Gu Jinan looked at Dou Shaodong's house and saw the undisguised hatred in his eyes. He became serious and said to him: "Your stepmother has harmed you, and your two brothers also want to kill you. You naturally have no feelings for them. But Brother Cheng and I are brothers from the same father and mother. I took care of him from the first day he was born, so he was brought up by me. I am eleven years older than him, and we escaped together, and we have lived life and death together. The emotions involved in adversity are naturally different from yours."

Then he said: "I wanted to tell you something early on. The brotherhood in this world is mostly like that between Brother Cheng and I, but less like that in your family. You can't hate the world just because of your family's affairs." All the brothers.”
