"Really? Really? Sister, do I have work to do too?"
Gu Jinguo's face was full of joy. He knew that his family was short of money and he wanted to reduce the burden on his family, but he also knew that he looked stupid in the eyes of outsiders and no one would be willing to ask him to do anything.
"Of course, Fourth Brother is very good at studying, better than many people. He will be the top scholar in the future."
Fubao yawned, feeling so tired. It seemed that he was not lucky enough. He was tired after just talking to his brothers about such a small thing.
Seeing Fubao fall into a deep sleep again, the four brothers' hearts trembled.
They must speed up their efforts to become stronger, do more good deeds, and help their sister gather luck.
The next day, the three brothers Gu Jinan, Gu Jinding and Gu Jinguo had already gone out.
Gu Jinding went directly to the escort agency. Originally, the agency was not hiring people, but this time they had received a batch of important goods to be delivered to the capital, and they were short of staff.
After seeing Gu Jinding perform a few tricks, he agreed to let him follow the escort.
Before leaving, Gu Jinding advanced ten taels of silver, gave it to Wang Yanran when he got home, and told her the approximate time of his return before leaving.
Wang Yanran was worried, as she was going to the capital as an escort, and she didn't know what would happen if Gu Jinyu and Shen Yunyun saw her. But Gu Jin had made up his mind. He wanted to see how Gu Jinyu was doing after murdering his mother and sister and driving the four brothers out of the house.
She only made one request to Gu Jinding, come back safely!
Gu Jinding followed the escort agency on the journey. The originally naughty boy finally grew up.
After Gu Jinan and Gu Jinguo left, they felt a little embarrassed again.
They did help the mother and son, but it seemed bad to repay the favor.
Suddenly, a voice came from behind: "Whoever can calculate these accounts in the shortest time will be the owner of Zui Xiang Lou!"
When Gu Jinan turned around, he saw the lady.
Leng Ningshuang was filled with rage at the moment. The shopkeeper from Xiangxi actually thought that she was not good at accounting and embezzled money by making false accounts behind her back.
As the daughter of a general, she has loved wielding swords and guns since she was a child and does not like to manage accounts, but she is not completely unable to understand the accounts. She saw the clues at a glance.
She would not use a shopkeeper like this.
Although Xiangxi is a small place, Zui Xiang Lou makes a fortune every day because of its delicious food.
Naturally, there were many people competing for the position of owner of Zui Xiang Lou.
Gu Jinan felt that competing with others would not be considered as repaying a favor, so he did not hesitate.
When the game was being settled, Leng Ningshuang took a look and was attracted by a young man who was calculating on an abacus very quickly.
"This young man looks familiar?"
The nanny beside him recognized Gu Jinan.
"He is the eldest brother of the young master's benefactor."
Leng Ningshuang was just looking for an opportunity to repay the Gu brothers. When she heard it was him, she immediately stood up and wanted to call him over, but after thinking about it, she stopped.
The benefactor's family didn't even accept her thank-you gift; they were all people of integrity. If she simply made him the shopkeeper, wouldn't that be humiliating to him?
"Madam, it seems that our benefactor is very good at settling accounts."
The nanny took a look around and found that Gu Jinan was not only very fast at using the abacus, but also kept very clear accounts, which was much better than others.
"Well, then we'll just let him be the shopkeeper. Oh, and we have to pretend we just saw him. We can't let anyone think we're letting him off."
The nanny smiled and nodded: "Madam just values talent."
In less than half an hour, Gu Jinan had finished calculating the thick account book.
Leng Ningshuang looked at the account book. The accounts were clear and the handwriting was neat.
"Please invite him in!"
When Gu Jinan entered the room, he saw Leng Ningshuang's face full of surprise.
"Oh, I didn't expect it to be you!"
Gu Jinan: ...
He was a little embarrassed at first, wondering how he should act as if he had met the noble lady by chance. He didn't expect that the noble lady would do this first.
"I didn't expect to see Madam again, what a coincidence!"
Gu Jinan readily followed suit and quickly brought the matter to the point.
"I've looked at your accounts. They're very well calculated. I'll hand over Zui Xiang Lou to you in the future."
Leng Ningxiang is decisive and directly states what he means.
"Thank you, Madam. I will do my best after your birthday!"
Gu Jinan agreed solemnly.
After finishing the discussion, Leng Ningxiang asked about Gu Jinguo again.
"Where's your fourth brother?"
She has not yet thanked her benefactor, and he is always on her mind.
"Fourth brother is outside."
Unexpectedly, Gu Jinguo was playing with Leng Ningxiang's son at this moment.
After the nanny went out, she quickly brought the two of them back.
"Mom, my benefactor brother is so amazing. When the teacher asks me questions that I don't know, my benefactor brother can always answer them."
The little boy had few admirers. He was very talented and was praised by many teachers, so his family hired the best teacher.
"I didn't expect the little brother to be so powerful!"
Although Gu Jinguo looked stupid, Leng Ningxiang did not underestimate him at all.
How could a person who could save her son in a critical moment be really stupid?
"Haha, I don't know either. When I heard those questions, the answers automatically popped up in my mind."
Gu Jinguo smiled innocently.
“This is great wisdom in the form of foolishness!”
Thinking that Gu Jinan had to work as a shopkeeper to earn money, their family must be in financial difficulty, Leng Ningxiang pulled her son aside to ask.
"Yu'er, would you like to let your benefactor come and study with you?"
The little boy clapped his hands happily.
"Okay, okay, I like Brother Benefactor. I want to study with Brother Benefactor."
The son was happy, and Leng Ningxiang was even happier.
"What do you think, little brother?"
Gu Jinguo had heard about this from his sister a long time ago, and now he bowed to Leng Ningxiang just like Gu Jinan did.
"Gu Jinguo, the fourth son of the Gu family, will definitely do his best to accompany the young master."
The two brothers took office that same day and performed extremely well.
Especially Gu Jinguo, when accompanying the young master in his studies, he frequently gave more outstanding opinions, which made the teacher highly praise him. He also told Leng Ningxiang privately that with him accompanying the young master, the young master learned more solidly and quickly.
Leng Ningxiang became more and more grateful to the Gu brothers. Thinking that they had a mother who had just given birth, she thought about visiting her.
The next day, Leng Ningxiang, who had found out the address of the Gu family, came to visit.
Gu Jinbang went out to buy groceries. When he heard a knock on the door, Wang Yanran came out to open it.
Leng Ningxiang saw that Wang Yanran was frail, so she came over to open the door and pulled her into the house.
"Sister, you just gave birth, how can you be exposed to the cold wind? Hurry up and lie down in bed, don't catch a cold."
Wang Yanran was dizzy from her enthusiasm and only came to her senses when she was pushed onto the bed.
"It's okay."
Knowing that her eldest son and fourth son were now working for her, Wang Yanran felt grateful and wanted to get up to pour tea, but Leng Ningxiang didn't let her move.
"Don't be so busy, I came here just to talk to you."
She knew that the Gu family was in financial difficulty, but she didn't expect it to be so difficult that Wang Yanran didn't even have anyone to take care of her during her confinement.
