Jin Qianqian never imagined that merely inheriting an estate would mysteriously grant her a spatial dimension. Unsure of where the space led—to an apocalypse, transmigration, or endless survival ...
Chapter 645
Seeing the young men walking away arm in arm, Jin Qianqian smiled and shook her head, saying, "They are all tough guys. They passed your first test."
Gu Wenheng had informed her before and wanted to test these children.
Since they followed him to Shangjing, they have been treated to good food and accommodation, and they are not allowed to do anything.
It just so happened that he and Jin Qianqian were very busy during that period, and even if they met in the mansion, they were in a hurry to come and go.
Unexpectedly, he was not disappointed. On the first day of his departure, he couldn't help but come to my house to find a job.
Gu Wenheng also had a smile on his face at this moment, expressing his satisfaction, "Under the leadership of Third Grandpa, there are not many people in the Gu family who are cunning and dishonest.
He also pointed out that these children were more obedient and not dull.
If we train them well, they might achieve something great in the future.
Let Xu Dawang assign them tasks later, such as boiling water or collecting firewood."
Jin Qianqian suppressed her laughter, "These are the only things we have to do along the way. Do you really let them do all of them?"
Gu Wenheng, "These are common things in the countryside, and they should know that here, they have to endure all kinds of suffering and sin.
Otherwise, if you get praised by others in other places and lead them astray, it will be too late to regret it.”
Jin Qianqian's face straightened, "Don't worry! They are indispensable for all the hard work.
I will ask Lin Dapeng and others to teach them some lessons in private later, so that they won’t be fooled.”
The purpose of bringing people out is to let them learn more, not to bring them out for fun.
Gu Wenheng, "Let Wang Ping teach them for a while. He has the most experience in dealing with all kinds of people."
Wang Ping was only a ninth-rank governor in Lucheng, but he was smart and knew when to do things. He had helped him handle things in an orderly manner over the years.
Gu Wenheng also had a keen eye for talent, and when he knew he was leaving, he had a detailed discussion with Wang Ping. Wang Ping immediately decided to stay with him.
"Then let Luo Luo go and listen." Jin Qianqian didn't think the child was too young to be exposed to these things.
"Well, it's time to let Luo Luo keep in touch with his brothers." In this dynasty, one cannot leave the family, so the only way is to make the two sides more closely connected.
He and Jin Qianqian will grow old in the future, and they can't rely on two children for the rest of their lives.
…
After receiving the job, the young man of the Gu family felt relieved.
Otherwise, if I let them eat and live for free every day, I would feel very anxious.
It has to be said that the people selected by the old patriarch this time, together with those selected by Gu Wenheng, are of acceptable character.
"Let's quickly pick up some more dry branches so that we can boil more hot water at night."
Gu Yuzhu dragged a dead tree root and walked towards the camp.
These days, apart from occasionally staying at an inn, they mostly camped in the wilderness.
Gu Lexi said, "Let's take these woods back first. I saw something flash past in the bushes over there. It might be some wild animal. Let's go and trap it. Maybe we can have a snack at night."
Gu Benluo also followed him, dragging a piece of wood. When he heard this, his eyes sparkled, "Brother Lexi, what kind of wild animal do you think it is? A pheasant or a hare?"
Gu Lexi turned around to look at his little cousin, a wicked smile on his face, "It could be a wolf... ah..."
Gu Benluo pouted disapprovingly, not frightened at all, "Brother Lexi, don't try to lie to me.
There is just a little grass and a small hill, where could there be a wild wolf?
Wolves live in deep mountains and jungles. Look at this place. There are so many villages nearby and it’s so close to the county town. It’s impossible for wild wolves to come here.”
After hearing his cousin's analysis, Gu Lexi said with some disappointment, "You are really unpleasant. Can't you pretend that you are frightened by me, your brother?
But I'm not wrong, the things in the bushes may not be hares or pheasants, these docile animals may be snakes, you little brat, don't get in there."
Gu Benluo responded obediently, and then continued, "I'm not planning to go alone, but you guys, remember to tell Guard Jiang and the others when you go."
“No, in the countryside, we often go to the mountains to have a feast, and even if we encounter a snake, it’s just food for us.
How about it, do you want me to take you out to play later?"
Gu Yi, who was standing behind them and listening quietly, coughed a few times at this time and said, "You should tell Guard Jiang.
Luo Luo is right. We must not cause any trouble on the way and cause trouble for Master Gu."
"Uncle Yi, you were not like this in the village." Gu Lexi changed his hand to grab the wood, "Remember the last time you caught a poisonous snake with your bare hands."
Gu Yi stopped and looked at him, "That was at home, but when you are away from home, what did your family tell you? Have you forgotten everything?"
It seems that I should give these guys a knock when I take a break. When I’m out, I can’t be as casual as I am in the village.
What's more, this guy just instigated Gu Benluo to join him in making trouble. If something happens, it will be too late to regret.
Gu Benluo no longer expressed his opinion at this moment and followed quietly behind his brothers.
My parents said that he is old enough now and can do things within his ability.
After finishing these rough jobs, he still had to go back to practice calligraphy and read books, and even practice a few moves with Master Wu. He said he wanted to go out and play with them, but he knew he had no free time at all.
Looking at the Gu brothers who were talking and laughing, Gu Benluo lowered his eyes.

"Dad," Gu Benluo put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, and saw that his parents were full, then he spoke, "My son has something unclear, please enlighten me."
Gu Wenheng thought he didn't understand something, so he smiled and touched his head and said, "What don't you understand?"
Gu Benluo, “Dad, you once told me that the more skills you learn, the better.
Does that mean that I can also learn the knowledge that my cousins have learned in the future? "
Gu Wenheng raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Haven't you been collecting firewood with them these days? What have you learned?"
Gu Benluo stretched out his little palm and said, "I learned how to save myself some effort, but the palm of my hand hurts a little."
Gu Wenheng took a look and found a few small blisters on his palm. Although he felt a little distressed, he remained calm and said, "You are a real man, you are not complaining to your father, are you?"
Gu Benluo clasped his palms together and said, "No, although it is a little tiring and hard, and my palms will hurt a little, but I am very happy to be able to do something for everyone."
Gu Wenheng tried his best to keep his facial expression steady. Although he didn't complain, every word he said was full of complaints.
Gu Wenheng nodded and said seriously, "It's good that you think this way. Dad hopes you can continue to persevere on the way."
