A lucky wife born again from a farm family

He stood on tiptoe and looked around in the huge living room, and asked Mr. Li: "Uncle Li, the clothes that man is wearing look very decent. Which family does he belong to?"

He glanced at it and asked another young man wearing a fur jacket: "This one is better dressed. That fur is not cheap. Whose is it?"

Mr. Li said: "You don't have to be so curious if you are rich. If you are from a well-established family, you will naturally introduce them later. As for ordinary wealthy people, don't pay attention to them."

After all, he is a fifth-grade scholar. Not everyone who comes to give gifts can be received by him in person, but more likely by Butler Li, Li Zhuang, and Master Yue. Only the truly wealthy people in He'an Mansion will be brought to see him. .

Gu Youlu was very sorry to hear that, seeing that these guests were all rich or noble, Mr. Li still wanted to pick them up, but he was not stupid. He knew that he could be curious, but he could not ask Mr. Li to call these people and introduce them to him. .

However, Lord Li felt sorry for him and asked, "Youlu want to talk to those people?"

Gu Youlu nodded, naturally thinking that everyone was extremely rich. He used to befriend these people as the grandson of Mr. Li's savior, and they were not allowed to fawn over him to death.

However, he spoke nicely and said with a smile: "We are new here, and I thought it would be good to get to know more people."

Gu Chengzhi didn't want to follow Mr. Li. Although he had money to follow this old man, he had to pretend. There were so many delicious foods in the living room, and he wanted to eat them happily instead of following the old man's rules, so he followed: "Grandpa Li, Brother Zhi also wants to get to know those people."

Mr. Li smiled and said: "In that case, you and your son will go with Li Bai to meet those merchants."

Gu Youlu was very happy and hurriedly thanked Mr. Li: "Thank you, Uncle Li."

Mr. Li smiled and nodded, and asked a boy beside him to take Gu Youlu and his son to meet the merchants. He took Gu Youwen and his son and Young Master Li to the room on the left side of the living room, where he met the people of He'an Mansion. Noble families, big merchants, civil servants, and people with official positions lower than him.

The second young master Li was very dissatisfied with Mr. Li bringing Gu Youwen and his son to meet these distinguished guests, and he said in a nonchalant manner: "Dad, the visiting guests are here to meet our Li family, not to meet other foreigners." Human.”

Gu Youwen and his son's faces darkened when they heard this, but they were smart enough not to argue with Master Li, because Master Li would help them.

Sure enough, Mr. Li was very unhappy after hearing this and rebuked the second young master Li in a low voice: "Youwen and Chengxian are the saviors of our Li family. Although they are not surnamed Li, they are the closest people to our Li family. I will lead you." Why not take them to meet the respectable people in the city?"

"It's you." Mr. Li looked at Young Master Li. He really hated iron and said, "You are thirty years old, and you haven't even been admitted to the exam, and you don't even have a son. It's important to have no heirs, and no sons. Ding, how can my father reuse you?"

Ever since the death of Young Master Li, Third Young Master Li, and Young Master Li's eldest grandson, Master Li has been very afraid that the Li family will have no heirs, and he desperately wants a son. Although... he still wants Young Master Li to give birth to a son. After all, Young Master Li Er is the legitimate son, and the children he gives birth to will be the legitimate grandson.

He is an official and knows the importance of direct descendants.

The inability to give birth to a son was the pain of Second Young Master Li. When Mr. Li brought it out in front of Gu Youwen and his son, his face was quite ugly and he almost walked away. But the Li family will stay in He'an Mansion for at least three years. He cannot give up this opportunity to get to know the prominent families and various officials in the city, so he can only endure and continue to stay.

Seeing this, Mr. Li snorted coldly and said: "You have to obey when you are not capable."

Young Master Li hated him even more after hearing this.

Gu Youwen and Gu Chengxian listened, feeling extremely comfortable. Master Li was indeed very kind to them and his son, and even scolded his own son for them.

"Sir, the uncle of the Liu family, a prominent family in Fucheng, wants to see you, sir, but what?" Li Zhuang asked, briefly explaining the situation of the Liu family.

The Liu family has been a prominent family in He'an Prefecture for hundreds of years. Their ancestors once served as officials. Now there are three people in the family who have been elected as governors, and there are countless fertile fields in the family.

Mr. Li nodded after hearing this: "Since it is the Liu family's uncle who comes to pay New Year's greetings in person, he naturally wants to see him."

Li Zhuang nodded, and then picked out some distinguished guests and brought them to Mr. Li. There were many merchants among them, and Boss An was also there.

Boss An doesn't have a good impression of Mr. Li in his heart. This old man won't take office sooner or later. He comes here during the Chinese New Year. Isn't this going to torture their merchants to death?

But there is no way, they do business to please the adults in the Fucheng Yamen, and even those who are celebrating the New Year have to carry generous gifts to pretend to be grandchildren.

Mr. Qi also came. Although his eldest brother was a Beijing official, his family lived in He'an Prefecture. When a new colleague from He'an Prefecture came to take office, he had no choice but to come.

There are three major officials in Fucheng Yamen: the magistrate, Tongzhi, and Tongpan. This shows the status of Lord Tongzhi in Fucheng. Even Mr. Qi wants to pay a visit.

Mr. Li was very polite to Mr. Qi and asked him to sit at the first seat on the right. The first seat on the left was reserved for guests with higher status.

Mr. Qi thanked him and sat down. When I learned that the father and son next to Li Tongzhi were not Li Tongzhi's eldest son, but were named Gu, I was slightly surprised. There were so many people with this surname Gu, and they could be encountered everywhere.

However, he did not mention Gu Jinli's family because he was wary of this new colleague, fearing that this new colleague Li was short-sighted and would reach out to grab the goods from him after knowing that the spice business belonged to the Gu family.

Boss An didn't mention the Gu family, let alone bring the ham.

What a joke, that ham is not only expensive, but also hard to find. How could he stupidly carry a ham to honor Li Tongzhi?

Impossible, he didn't even bring a plate of ham slices, but brought beautiful jade, famous paintings, ancient books, and several beauties who had been specially taught by his grandmother to give to Li Tongzhi.

Although neither Boss An nor Mr. Qi mentioned the Gu family, Gu Youlu still heard news about the Gu family in the living room.

"Brother Yu, what are you talking about? The crystal cake, roast duck, tofu, and braised food we are eating now are all made by Gu's family?" Gu Youlu asked while biting the roast duck leg, very interested in this Gu family with the same surname as his own.

The young master of the Yu family in Fucheng said: "That's natural. Not only are these things made by Gu, but also the spices and toothbrushes are made by Gu."

Gu Youlu stood up immediately after hearing this and said in surprise: "What are you talking about? Even the seasonings and toothbrushes are made by this Gu family? Oh, that's incredible. I heard that the seasonings are the same as minced rice paste. Expensive, how much money did Mr. Gu earn?"

Master Yu's friend, Master Fu from Fujia Inn in Fucheng, said: "The Qi family in Fucheng got the spices from the Gu family. In just three years, the money they made was gone."

Then he lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the reason why the uncle of the Qi family was promoted was because he sent spices to Shangfeng."
