Chapter 619 Chapter 621

He Gaofei couldn't fiddle with it any more, so he just put the things aside and said, "What's wrong with the vendors? The ones who are really doing well are the vendors themselves.

Don't let your head be filled with pedantic ideas. Several of our old families have long been in name only. What's the point of pursuing those false reputations?

Don't you see anything after being in Lucheng for more than a year?"

Madam He, "Am I being pedantic? The three classes of officials, farmers, merchants and artisans have been defined since ancient times. Look at those famous merchants. They have to rely on the government to survive.

Many things are just superficial. When something really happens, a word from the government can make them lose everything.

I know what the master is referring to. Madam Gu's example cannot be imitated by others.

Not to mention that Lord Gu has a bright future, she is also a natural born businessman and can bring huge profits in everything she does.

With such intelligence, which of our children do you think can match it? Not all of them, but if they can reach a certain level, I won’t stop them from pursuing a career in business.”

"You fool, do you know that it is good to sit under a big tree and enjoy the shade?

For a family like ours, we can still survive even if we have to endure for a few more decades.

With this relationship, they can benefit greatly from learning a few tricks from Madam Gu.

Look at Shangshu Cao. Everyone says he is a military man, but he is able to put down his airs. His children were working as clerks and shopkeepers in Madam Gu’s shop at that time.

What happened now? With this relationship, they have a stake in the maritime trade, and those kids can stand on their own and are considered top figures in Lucheng."

At this point, He Gaofei felt that the toy in his hand was no longer attractive, "Do you think that sending these children to Shangjing is good for them?

Both of us are not in the mansion, how many people can really plan for them?"

Mrs. He was speechless. She had actually regretted it a long time ago.

She also thought about it before leaving that day.

In the end, he was afraid that the children would suffer and fall into danger with them, so he gritted his teeth and didn't take any of them with him.

"Hey, what's the point of telling you all this now?" He Gaofei stretched his arms. "I don't know if I'll have the chance to be with Master Gu again in the future. If I'm lucky enough to do so, I will definitely bring all of our children with me. It's time to consider them."

In a family like theirs, there are only a few officials in such a large clan, and they rely on their savings for food and clothing. He doesn't understand how his wife still has that hidden sense of superiority?

In another carriage, Lu Shenggen looked aggrieved because his wife had taken possession of the toy that he had borrowed with great difficulty.

"Just let me play for a while. I haven't figured it out yet." Mrs. Lu turned sideways to avoid his gaze. How could she have fun if he kept staring at her like that?

"Can you put the lock back?" Lu Shenggen became anxious when he saw that she had put it in the wrong place again.

"Don't talk, you're disturbing me..."

"Can you do it? If not, wait until I'm done playing and then try again."

"...Of course it will work, just don't disturb me..."

…

While playing, Wu Yichen sighed to his wife, "I thought I had a better understanding of Master Gu after spending a few years together.

I didn’t expect that I had misjudged him. He could even come up with such a fantastic idea.”

Mrs. Wu, "You said they all have the same brains, so why are others so smart?"

"Madam, do you think I'm stupid?"

"I dare not," Madam Wu lifted the curtain and looked at the scenery outside, "but the other party is too smart. Fortunately, the other party has no bad intentions, otherwise the master would not know how to suffer."

Wu Yichen, "..." Madam, can you be more straightforward...

"Master is really lucky this time. I thought I would have to spend the rest of my life in Lucheng, but I didn't expect to be able to return to Beijing in glory."

Madam Wu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, my brother-in-law and the others don't know how to be angry. It's a pity that I didn't see their faces when they received the news."

Wu Yichen knew that there had been conflicts among the several families for a long time, and the current apparent harmony was only maintained for the sake of the old man.

He suddenly remembered something, "Remember that the shares in Haimao were invested with your dowry money.

When I left on that day, the public treasury only gave me the travel expenses, and the silver that I put in that day was all stuffed into my pocket by you."

Madam Lu lowered the curtain, her expression even more joyful, "Of course, I exchanged some of the silver for imported goods and sent them to my dowry shop to sell. This double profit finally leaves some wealth for our children.

I’m afraid that these people will make a fuss about this when they return, so you’ll have to hold on and not let anything slip.”

Wu Yichen, "This is also the reason why I don't want to go back to Beijing. I really hope I can follow Master Gu this time.

My mother wrote to me before and asked me about it. I replied and told her that it was the dowry money you gave her. You can’t expect such a big family to rely on a woman’s dowry to make ends meet!”

Madam Lu gave him a look of appreciation and said, "Then you have to hold on. You know the current situation in the mansion. We can't sacrifice our small family for your big family."

Gaoling Village

Just as Gu Lehuan thought, once the wedding was over, the elders in the family quickly lost interest in them.

Gu Yuanjin even started packing his bags, preparing to return to Shangjing with them.

"We don't know when your seventh uncle and the others will be back, and they're all getting anxious." Wang Caiyue complained again while eating.

She wanted the new daughter-in-law to set the rules and serve her meals, but just as she opened her mouth, Gu Yuanmu looked at her in surprise and asked in front of his daughter-in-law, "Do we have such a rule in our family?"

Wang Caiyue's face looked extremely ugly at that time. Gu Yuanmu was really about to piss her off to death.

Gu Lehuan quickly took advantage of the situation and said, "My dear, eat quickly. We have to go to pay respects to Grandpa later."

Did she really think that she couldn't hear it? This boy was talking to her in disguise. If she continued to hold on to him, she wouldn't know how to complain to her mother-in-law when she got there.

Ever since the last time the mother-in-law showed her anger, these daughters-in-law have come to realize that in the past, when they acted like the devil, it was because the mother-in-law didn't want to bother with them. Otherwise, based on filial piety, even if she gave them a beating, they would not say anything.

Gu Yuanmu, "Old Seven has been out for so many years, so what if everyone is a little anxious?

Don't mention it every time you eat, don't you let people eat properly?"

Wang Caiyue snorted coldly, "Am I looking for trouble? It's just a piece of news, but it has disrupted the lives of several families.

How long have Le Huan and his wife been married? They haven't even lived there for a full month, and they are urging us to go back.

Can't I, as a mother-in-law, say a few words?"

When Wang Caiyue said this, she glared at Xu Nuo opposite her. This was what she wanted.
