After the Luo Wu family returned, the three grandparents also went to bed, leaving time for Gu Dashan and his wife to talk to the children.

Gu Jinan and Gu Jinli talked about some things about the Xia family, and said: "Guanzhu Hu felt guilty. In order to compensate our family, he gave us some gold and silver, and we hid it."

Gu Dashan and Mrs. Cui did not ask how much gold and silver there was, but said worriedly: "Xia Gu is not a good person. Is his family's money from a legitimate source? If it is not legitimate, it may not be good for our family to take it."

Gu Jinli said: "Dad, don't worry, a lot of the Xia family's money was given by the first Huyun Temple owner. The Xia family is considered half a slave of Huyun Temple. As the current owner of Huyun Temple, Hu Guanzhu will give his own money." We were given things as compensation, nothing happened at all.”

Gu Dashan and Cui were timid, so neither brother nor sister told them about the Lu family.

After Gu Dashan and Cui heard this, they felt relieved: "That's good."

He also praised Guanzhu Hu: "The Guanzhu is really a good person and helps our family in everything."

Gu Jinli sneered in his heart, if Guanzhu Hu didn't help, he would be betraying his master.

"Mom and Dad, I'm so sleepy. I'm going to go back to bed first." Gu Jinli yawned: "Brother Cheng, my second sister will make you a cake another day."

In the past three years, she has made a cake for Brother Cheng every time he celebrated his birthday. Although he missed his birthday this year, the cake still had to be made up for.

"Well, thank you, second sister." Brother Cheng couldn't bear the thought that Gu Jinli was too tired, and urged: "Second sister, go to bed quickly. When you wake up tomorrow morning, you will have to go to the pharmaceutical workshop to deliver goods."

On the 22nd and 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, pharmaceutical workshops have to ship out goods for two days in a row. After the goods are shipped, they take a day off during the Lunar New Year, and then make three days of convenient medicines to prepare for shipment after the new year.

Gu Jinli nodded: "Well, let's go back to the courtyard first."

With that said, he waved to Gu Dashan and Cui, and followed Gu Jinxiu back to the two sisters' yard.

Gu Jinli was really tired and fell asleep quickly.

Gu Jinan was still pretending that something was wrong. After returning to the two brothers' yard, he asked Brother Cheng: "Mr. Ouyang hasn't gone back to celebrate the New Year yet?"

Brother Cheng shook his head: "Grandpa Ouyang said that now that Grandma Ouyang is gone, the son at home has long been able to take care of himself. Even the grandchildren are grown up. It will be the same if he doesn't go back. Besides, the house in the town is very good, and it is far away from Yanfu." The building is close and convenient for eating.”

As compensation, all the Xia family's properties in Qingfu Town became the Gu family's, and Gu Jinan let Ouyang Hu live in the Xia residence in the town. Ouyang Hu quite liked that house, but complained that Tingshui Garden was too unrealistic.

Brother Cheng quietly said to Gu Jinan again: "Grandpa Ouyang wants to eat ham. He has finished his ham. He has been scratching his head lately and wants to eat it, but he is too embarrassed to ask our family for it."

Gu Jinan laughed when he heard this: "Then you didn't think of a way to send some to Mr. Ouyang?"

Brother Cheng nodded and said: "I have thought about it. I have prepared two hams and plan to send them to Grandpa Ouyang as a New Year's gift tomorrow. My eldest brother is back. Come with me to give the New Year's gift tomorrow."

Gu Jinan nodded: "Okay."

Gu Jinan was also very sleepy. After talking to Brother Cheng for a while, he fell asleep.

Both siblings slept soundly and woke up refreshed the next day.

Village Chief He knew that their brother and sister had returned from Jinling, so he brought He Jinsheng over to visit the Gu family early in the morning. When he saw Brother An, he smiled and said: "Brother An is back. I haven't seen you for a while. He looks handsome again. Much better than my Jin Sheng."

He Jinsheng was used to his grandfather always praising Brother An for his good looks. He had no reaction when he heard this. He only said to Gu Jin'an: "Brother An is back. Did the trip to Jinling go smoothly?"

Village Chief He glared at He Jinsheng: "Why are you talking? Who is Brother An? He is a person who is surrounded by blessings. How can it not go smoothly?"

Brother Cheng was a little gossip, so he tugged on Gu Jinan's sleeve and whispered, "The village chief has been here many times. He wants me to take Brother Jin Sheng to see Grandpa Ouyang."

Gu Jinan understood. No wonder Village Chief He praised him when he saw him.

"Village Chief, Brother Jin Sheng, sit down. Have you had breakfast? My family hasn't eaten yet. Let's have some together."

Village Chief He knew that Sister Gu Jinli was old and could no longer eat at the same table with people with foreign surnames. He shook his head and said, "No, let your family eat."

Then he smiled and said: "Actually, I came to see you this morning for something. Mr. Ouyang lives in the town. I heard that he is a man with a university education, so I was wondering if I could let him give me some advice. Student. Jin Sheng has not been admitted to the scholar examination before. I wonder if he can be on the list this time? If Mr. Ouyang can give him some advice, I think he will have a lot more chances of passing the exam."

Village Chief He was also very worried. His family's Jinsheng turned 20 after the Chinese New Year, and he hadn't even gotten engaged yet. Previously, he had deliberately wanted to tell Jin Sheng about the girl from his wife's mother's family, or the girl from He Liu's mother's family, but his wife and Okura's wife both said that Jin Sheng was a scholar and had a good chance of getting into the imperial examination. , he must be matched with a knowledgeable rich lady, otherwise Jin Sheng will not be able to help when he becomes an official in the future.

But his family was just a farmer. If Jin Sheng didn't have a reputation as a scholar, he wouldn't be able to marry a rich girl. Therefore, the village chief was afraid that He Jinsheng would fail the exam this time and miss the marriage event, so he specially came to ask Gu Jinan to let him take Jin Sheng with him. Go to Mr. Ouyang and ask Mr. Ouyang to give Jin Sheng some advice.

"So it's because of this." Gu Jinan has been watching He Jinsheng for three years. He is a trustworthy person. Although the He family has some minor problems, they are honest people who do their duty. It's okay to help them. And the village chief He The family will also help other families in the village.

When Village Chief He saw him answering, he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, that's it. Brother An, do you think?"

He Jinsheng was very embarrassed and said from the side: "Brother An, you also know my grandfather's temper. You don't need to pay attention to him. Just pretend he didn't say anything."

"What are you talking about, brat?" Village Chief He glared at He Jinsheng. Why are you trying to make things difficult? The old man is not here for you.

Gu Jinan smiled and said: "This matter is not difficult, but I can only tell you a message. It is up to Mr. Ouyang whether he can see you and teach you or not."

He Jinsheng was overjoyed when he heard this and said hurriedly: "That's natural. I'd be very grateful if you could help introduce me to one or two. As for whether you can ask to see him or not, it all depends on fate."

Village Chief He sneered, life was nothing, he had earned his life, his Jinsheng family was too polite, he should have given up his face and become a more shameless person, just like him. This shameless move helped the He family with such a big job as Gu's workshop. Now the entire He family is living a good life.

Thinking like this, Village Chief He suddenly blushed. How could he scold himself like this? He's just thick-skinned and hasn't done anything bad.

Village Chief He praised himself in his heart and quickly asked Gu Jin'an: "Brother An, when do you think you are free, can you ask Mr. Ouyang?"

Gu Jin'an said: "I'm going to visit Mr. Ouyang later. I can take Brother Jinsheng with me, but Brother Jinsheng has to wait outside first. He can only go in after Mr. Ouyang agrees to see him."
