Chapter 220 Buying a Household Registration

No wonder!

The two sisters-in-law looked at each other, their hearts sinking to the bottom.

With such a big hole, no wonder they are forced to sell their dowries!

That’s because even if they sold all of the Cheng family’s property it wouldn’t be enough!

"What should we do about this?" The two sisters-in-law looked at Madam Cheng hopefully, hoping that she could give them some advice.

Madam Cheng paused and said, "If you trust me, then write a letter from me to your parents' side. I will find someone to deliver it for you and ask them to come to the Cheng family to negotiate. If you rely on yourselves, I'm afraid you will be eaten up by the Cheng family!"

The two sisters-in-law's eyes lit up. This was a good idea. "Thank you for your help, sister-in-law. We've made a note of this. If you have any questions in the future, just ask us. We won't argue!"

Madam Cheng nodded with a smile, asked someone to bring a pen, and told them to go into the inner room to write.

The maid who brought the writing brush and ink did not leave. She stopped beside Madam Cheng and asked quietly, "Madam, why did you take on this task? This is a thankless task."

Madam Cheng fiddled with the beauty bracelet on her wrist. "We can only benefit if there is chaos in this mansion... If that old man really stabilizes the situation, we will be the ones who suffer."

The head maid didn't know what her mistress was trying to do, but she knew one thing: whatever her mistress planned would succeed, and she just had to wait and see.

No matter what happens, she will always stay by the side of the lady.

…

The farce in the Cheng family is getting more and more intense, but Gu Tang is in high spirits.

She and Agou registered and sorted out all the furs and various jades, gemstones, agates and other materials that they had looted from the Cheng family. They were piled up into a small hill.

In order to please Gu Tang, Ah Gou pointed to the amount written on the rice paper and said, "Take out half of the money you collected before for charity, and all these furs, jades and other things will be left for you to make clothes and jewelry."

Gu Tang raised his chin: "I thought so too. But these things cannot be shown right now, I have to find a legitimate origin for them."

origin?

Agou suddenly had an idea and pointed at himself: "How about I make up an identity and say that these are given to you by me?"

"You gave it to me?" Gu Tang glanced at him. "You gave a peasant girl a bunch of treasures? What do you want? If you don't give a decent reason, my father will never let me 'accept' your things."

"You saved my life, and I have no way to repay you, so I can only give you these furs, jades, and other things to express my gratitude."

I see…

Gu Tang looked him up and down. It was undoubted that if Agou, who had changed his clothes, didn't speak, he would definitely be a young master from a wealthy family.

She asked curiously, "Your body has no memories left to you? From your appearance and your hands, it is obvious that you were raised in a wealthy family. If you can remember anything, I can make up an identity for you as a child of a wealthy family."

Agou shook his head: "I can't remember, I have no memory at all."

"What about the household registration?"

"Household registration..." Agou thought for a moment and continued to shake his head, "No."

Gu Tang rolled his eyes at him: "You have no memory, no household registration, nothing, and yet you dare to act like a big shot? Are you crazy?"

As he said that, he took out some loose change from the system backpack, put it in a purse and handed it to him: "Go to the government office to find those chief clerks. I heard from my father that those chief clerks in charge of household registration, in order to make the household registration book look good, did not cancel the household registration of many families even if they died out.

You use money to buy the household registration of a family that has been extinct. It is best to buy a family that has moved from another place. The longer the extinction time, the better. Once you register the household registration, everything will be easy. "

"Okay, I'll do as you say." Ah Gou handed the silver back and said, "You don't need this silver. When I was at Cheng's house, you asked me to bring some silver back. I brought a lot. When I have used up all the silver I have, I will ask you for more."

"Keep it. After you buy your household registration, go buy some clothes. Better ones. In the future, you will be a rich young master whose family has died out."

Agou: ...

The more Gu Tang thought about it, the better he thought this was a good idea.

Anyway, her father and the people around her will not check whether Agou's identity is real or fake, so it will be fine as long as she can fool her father.

After a long time, let Agou slowly give these things and the money to her by finding a reason.

In this way, these things and silver have a clear origin.

We have to find a good reason for this, but we can't let her father become suspicious.

Holding the purse, Agou turned around and left the house.

But after a while, the person came back.

He asked hopefully, "Since you are a rich young master, do you want to buy a house and servants?"

Gu Tang glared at him and said, "What are you daydreaming about? You are my servant, and I ask you to pretend to be a rich young master. And then I have to buy you servants to serve you? Then I might as well confront my father and tell him that I robbed the Cheng family!"

Ah blinked and said, "I wonder if this is more true? The servant I bought is definitely not here to serve me. I can give you the servant I bought on the grounds that he saved my life."

"Give it to me?" Gu Tang squinted at him, "What about you? You bought a servant to serve me, so what are you keeping as a servant?"

"I will serve you, too. The 'Basic Rules for Servanthood' you gave me states that as a servant I must learn all the skills of life and take care of my master's food, clothing, shelter, and transportation.

I found that I still have many life skills that I don't know, so I plan to find a few masters to learn from and serve you at the same time. But in this way, the time I stay with you is limited, and I am afraid that I can't serve you well enough, so I might as well take this opportunity to find you more servants to help serve you..."

"Ah?" Gu Tang was a little confused. Did she write these in the "Servant Rules"?

There were too many things written in the servant code, and many of them were just sudden ideas that were purely meant to make things difficult for him.

Now if you ask her to tell you what's written on it, she can't even say it herself.

Hey! How can a master forget the "Servant Rules" he wrote himself?

Gu Tang waved his hand calmly at him and said, "Go get your household registration and luggage sorted out first, and we can deal with the rest after you fool my dad."

Her father is not someone who can be easily fooled. If she is caught, she will definitely be scolded.

However, Agou thought that Gu Tang agreed to this matter, so he happily left the yard, bought a household registration, bought clothes, and found a few masters for himself.

He can cook, he knows martial arts, he should be able to make tea, and making the bed is a piece of cake for him.

He doesn't even know how to cut clothes, sew clothes and shoes, embroider, massage the back, sing songs and tell stories... nearly twenty kinds of skills.

Although there are many things he doesn't know, he has always been a very fast learner. He promises that it won't be long before he becomes a qualified servant!

Agou was full of confidence and had no doubt at all whether these skills were what a servant should learn.
