Chapter 1698 Two Coolies

Mr. Qi told them the dangers of staying in Fucheng.

Boss An's second manager also came to remind you of this: "Shopkeeper Gu, shopkeeper Gu's wife, our boss also asked this old slave to remind you of this."

He also explained: "The adults from the three departments and one temple came to collect shop taxes. The first one they went to was Anjia. Our boss was busy calculating taxes with the adults and couldn't come over. I hope the shopkeeper and his wife won't be offended."

He handed over a box: "It's for Cheng Yi, shopkeeper Gu's family. The gifts for Qin Baihu and Gu Xiaodong's family will be delivered to Dafeng Village later."

Mrs. Chen immediately took the box and opened it. Her eyes were filled with gold: "Boss An is so polite. I'm almost an uncle. It's such a waste to wear such a good gold head and face."

Send more!

"It should be." The second manager of the An family smiled respectfully.

After that, they stepped aside and waited for several people to finish talking. Then they left together through the back door, so as not to be seen by people who were watching Gu's workshop.

Hu Dong's family also came to remind Gu Dagui and his wife to go home first to avoid the limelight. Seeing that someone had told them, they felt relieved. Knowing that Chen's was delicious, they gave Futailou's wine and food to make Chengyi so that they would not be hungry on the way. .

Mrs. Chen was a little disgusted, but thinking that she often went to Futai Building to eat and drink for free, and took advantage of it, she happily accepted it, and said: "Dong Hu's house, I will go to Futai Building when we pass by the county town." Let’s take some tonic soup home and drink it.”

Gu Dagui's face turned red and he scolded Mrs. Chen: "You are a woman who doesn't take enough advantage."

Everyone in Manfu City knows that you want old clams to grow pearls, but you still want to make up for the soup in public, and your face has been completely embarrassed by you.

Hu Dongjia had already accepted his fate, nodded and said: "It's just a few cups of soup, if you want it, please go and get it, the shopkeeper will make appropriate arrangements."

"Dong Hu's family is so generous." Mrs. Chen was happy and turned to look at the Ji family: "Manager Ji, you are here too."

If you are here to give a gift, hurry up and get it. We are going back in a hurry.

Manager Ji Da smiled and said, "I have met Shopkeeper Gu and Mrs. Gu, and I would like to congratulate you both..."

He also said some words of congratulations, and finally handed over the gift list: "Thanks to the Gu family, Linhe Prefecture was spared the poisonous insect disease this time."

Because the insect attractant was sent to the Ji family by the Gu family for the sake of Ji Zhenniang, the Ji family gained a reputation, so it was spread that Qin Sanlang had made great contributions and the Gu family was praised and rewarded by the emperor. After that, the steward of Jida immediately opened the warehouse to pack up two carts of gifts and brought them to Mr. and Mrs. Chen.

Originally I wanted to send three cars as a gift, but Manager Ji Da thought that because Qin Sanlang and the Gu family had made such great contributions, and the Gu family had been rewarded by the emperor, the old man in the family was afraid that he would go to Tianfu County in person to make friends, so he removed one of them. car. Don't give too many gifts and make people think that the Ji family is too flattering to the Qin and Gu families.

"So much, so rich!" Ms. Chen exclaimed when she saw the Ji family's gift list, then quickly shut up and said with a smile: "The Ji family is too polite. They all fought together in the northwest. Why are you being so polite? .”

He said the polite words dryly, and his eyes drifted towards the back door, with a look on his face that he couldn't wait to see the two cars carrying gifts.

Mr. Qi looked at Gu Dagui and said, "Brother Dagui, you can set off now. More and more people are coming to block you from outside. If it's too late, you may not be able to leave."

Gu Dagui said: "Mr. Qi reminded us that we, as a couple, should go explain a few words to the guys and leave as soon as we are done."

Mr. Qi: "Then when you are done, let's go out the back door together, so as not to keep opening the door and people seeing you."

"Sure." Gu Dagui nodded and went to find Afeng and Aling to explain the matter.

After working for more than two-quarters of an hour, he returned to the living room and said to a few people: "Everything has been explained, let's go out together."

"Hey." Mr. Qi stood up with a smile that was about to succeed.

Mrs. Chen saw something was wrong, she was afraid that this shipment was going to take advantage of the Gu family again!

Sure enough, when they arrived at the back door, Mr. Qi's sons Qi Yun and Qi He were also there. They were standing next to a carriage. When they saw Mrs. Chen and the others coming, they hurriedly saluted: "I've met Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu."

Mrs. Chen asked: "Why are you here?"

Needless to say, they must have heard that the Gu family had received a favor from the Emperor and were forced by Qi to follow them back to the village to curry favor with An Geer.

Mrs. Chen guessed correctly. This is what Mr. Qi meant: "The two of them are not good at learning. I want them to go back to the village with Brother Dagui and his sister-in-law to ask for advice from Brother An."

"Ask me for advice? You have to pay for it. You can't teach for free." Mrs. Chen was also unambiguous. She asked for money as soon as she asked, and she asked for double portions: "We, husband and wife, will take them back to the village and take care of their food, drink and housing." Along with the daily insect attractants, these are all worth money.”

An Geer has made a rule that the Gu family does not allow students to stay overnight. Anyone who comes to visit him to discuss knowledge must leave on the same day. Those who cannot leave are sent to a house in the town. Anyway, the home is for family members, and outsiders are not allowed to stay overnight... Except for the Ouyang family and the Shang family.

Mr. Qi immediately took out a bag and handed it to Chen: "Brother and sister Gu are tired, this is a thank you gift."

Mrs. Chen didn't hide it, she opened the bag on the spot to see how much money there was. When she saw three hundred taels of silver notes, she smiled, looked at Qi Yun and Qi He and said, "Look at these two great nephews. You are very thoughtful. Seeing that the winter wheat harvest is about to begin, you will follow your aunt back to work. You are so sensible!"

He greeted Qi Yun and Qi He: "Hurry up and get in the car, we are leaving now."

Qi Yun and Qi He wanted to die. From what Chen said, did they actually want them to return to the village to do farm work?

The two of them looked at Mr. Qi and begged with their eyes: Dad, help me, don't throw us into the countryside. If we go, with Chen's virtue, he will definitely treat us like cattle and drive us to do farm work. We will be exhausted.

Mr. Qi stared at them and cursed: "You are deaf, get in the car quickly, don't delay your uncle and aunt returning to the village."

These two ignorant brats, do they know how powerful the Gu family is now? Not to mention that the Gu family has been favored by the emperor, but just that Mr. Ouyang Hu is on good terms with Gu Jinan, they should go and curry favor with Gu Jinan and use Gu Jinan's relationship to curry favor with the Ouyang family, so that the Qi family can also be a big help in the capital.

The two had no choice but to accept their fate and get in the car.

However, Mr. Qi stuffed two money bags for them, each containing thousands of taels of silver notes, for them to spend in the countryside.

"Shopkeeper, you can go." Aling had already driven a mule cart over, and the boxes and cages of Mr. and Mrs. Chen were also moved into the cart.

The journey was too far and for fear of being unsafe, Aling knew how to use fists and kicks and had to escort Chen and his wife back to the village before returning to the capital.

"Hey." Gu Dagui responded and told Afeng: "You have always been a sensible person. Watch the workshop carefully and don't make any mistakes."

"Yes." Afeng opened the back door and sent them out.

As soon as they left, Feng closed the back door.

But the back door had been stared at for a long time. After seeing so many vehicles coming out, the crowd at the alley went crazy and shouted: "The Chen couple are here, big guys, come quickly!"

One by one, they were running towards here carrying congratulatory gifts.

Aling was so powerful that he quickly turned the mule cart and ran back: "Go back, there is an alley here, turn around and run for more than a quarter of an hour and you will reach the main street."

The person driving the Ji family's car to deliver congratulatory gifts quickly turned around to follow.

Mr. Qi, the second manager of the Hu Dong family, the An family, and the shopkeeper of the Xu family did not leave, leaving carriages and mule carts from several families in the alley, blocking the path of a large group of people in front.
