Chapter 890 893. Training a Child
Liao Weidong stood there gnashing his teeth. This Gu Wenheng was really stubborn.
He would always bow his head and lend money first, and as long as the two of them had dealings with each other, the friendship between the two governments would be established in the future.
"So old-fashioned," Liao Weidong cursed as he stood there, then turned around and left.
Gu Wenheng ignored his plans. He had to go back today and have a good talk with those guys.
"I heard that you have been staying in the imperial farm these days," Gu Wenheng said straight to the point, "Have you been slacking off there?"
Gu Letian and the others quickly shook their heads. This was a hard-earned job, they cherished it so much, how could they possibly be lazy about it?
Gu Wenheng turned to look at Gu Bencan, who jumped up immediately, "Dad, don't look at me, I'm being honest.
They told me not to do anything, but I didn’t just sit there and help out wherever I could.”
Although he donated all his previous records, he would not embarrass his parents over this matter.
The officials of the imperial farm were very polite to him, addressing him respectfully as "Lord".
At the beginning, he was not allowed to do anything and even had tea and snacks prepared for him.
Gu Bencan knew that this was all thanks to his father, otherwise how could he, a figurehead, have such treatment?
Seeing that he understood, Gu Wenheng nodded and praised him a few times, "You have done a good job these days. Since the emperor has asked you to work in the imperial farm, you should abide by your duties and don't think of taking advantage of the situation to be lazy."
Gu Bencan and the others quickly responded, and they all knew the reason why they were treated differently.
Gu Wenheng, "I've been busy with the Ministry of Revenue these days and can't pay attention to you.
But you must restrain yourselves and not go anywhere else except the palace and the imperial farm every day.
Letian, you said before that you wanted to buy a property here, and I have asked Butler Xu to help you inquire.
But I would like to give you a suggestion this time. As for how to choose, it is up to you. "
Gu Letian quickly led his brothers and said, "Thank you, Uncle Qi."
Gu Wenheng, “If you want to gain a foothold in Shangjing in the future, you don’t have to buy a property in the city.
You guys will basically be working in the Imperial Manor in the future. If you want to settle down, you can definitely consider going there."
He knew exactly what kind of people his nephews were.
This is basically how my life will be. Even if I get transferred through connections, I may not be able to do the job. It is better to stay as I am and have an official position, waiting for the younger generation to make progress.
"Uncle Seventh means that we can go to the nearby villages to build houses and buy land," Gu Leping still owns many shops, and the annual income should not be underestimated.
He already had a courtyard in Shangjing in his early years, but it was only used for rest and short-term residence, so it was not big.
I had been thinking of moving to a bigger compound, but after hearing what Uncle Qi said, I think it would be nice to settle down in a nearby village.
It is close to the imperial farm and there is no need to travel back and forth. Most importantly, it is affordable. The yard can be built bigger and more comfortable.
Gu Wenheng, "There are a few small villages around the imperial farm. If you buy a few acres of land there and build a house, you can live a leisurely life.
When the time comes, bring your parents over so they can adapt faster."
The boys from the Gu family have all moved away. If Gu Yuanjin and the others feel lonely in Gaoling Village in the future, they can come here to enjoy family time.
The houses in Beijing are small and expensive. It would be cramped for the whole family to live in one place. So it is better to make plans early.
Gu Letian and the others also thought of this and felt that this was the best option.
With the money they have, they can build a big house and buy more than ten acres of land. Just thinking about it seems perfect.
Although Shangjing is prosperous, they are used to living in the mountain village, and this choice is the most suitable for them.
Not to mention anything else, having a small farmyard where you can grow vegetables and raise chickens is completely enough to be self-sufficient.
Seeing that they had figured it out, Gu Wenheng talked about another incident, "Don't forget, you are still in mourning. If your colleagues invite you to a dinner party, remember to keep your mouth shut.
If you can push it away, push it away. If you can’t push it away, you can have a few brothers to accompany you.”
Gu Bencan looked at his father and said, "Dad, are you afraid that someone is plotting against you?"
Gu Wenheng, "Whether someone is plotting against you or not, you should be vigilant.
Otherwise, if you are really tricked by someone, it will be useless to complain to anyone.
I won't hide it from you. Our family is now in Beijing and is in the center of the storm. I don't know how many people are watching us from outside. I have made all the preparations, but I'm just afraid that you will find a breakthrough.
Whether it's for the Gu family or for yourselves, you must be alert. "
Gu Wenheng was not exaggerating. Over the years, he was able to rise steadily step by step, and he had avoided countless schemes.
These guys also asked the teacher to teach them carefully before they came out, but I'm afraid it's hard to guard against them, so I can only ask someone to remind them from time to time.
Gu Letian, "From now on, we brothers will go in and out together."
In fact, they still felt it was a little unreal after so many days.
When he went out, people called him "Sir", but since everyone had the surname Gu, they put his name first to distinguish him from others.
With so many Gu masters in the Gu family, they are quite eye-catching in the imperial manor. They have been the target of many scrutiny, both overtly and covertly.
The brothers had already agreed that no matter where they went, they would try to travel together.
At the imperial farm, he only listened to the instructions of the Minister of Agriculture, did his assigned tasks well, and did not say anything else.
Maybe it’s because of Uncle Seventh that I have been getting along peacefully with these people these days, but if time goes on for a long time, I’m afraid there will be conflicts.
Gu Wenheng said, "That's great. If you brothers need any help, just look for Cancan."
He has arranged so many people around Gu Bencan, both openly and secretly, so if any problems really arise, he can find someone to help as soon as possible.
After giving some more instructions, he left Gu Bencan alone and asked the other brothers to go back and rest.
Gu Bencan looked evasive in Gu Wenheng's fierce gaze, "Dad, do you have anything to say?"
Gu Wenheng, "I heard that you always bring a slingshot with you when you go to the imperial farm these days?"
Gu Bencan knew that this was a big misunderstanding, and quickly waved his hands to explain, "Dad, I brought a slingshot, but I didn't want to play by myself.
I met an interesting kid in Huangzhuang before, and played with him for a while. I promised to give him a slingshot, but I haven’t met him in recent days, so I can only carry it with me. "
I don’t know which bastard reported me. Will there be any secrets around me in the future?
Gu Wenheng, "That's the best. Don't forget that there are many people watching us now. If something goes wrong, it will affect the family.
You are not an ignorant child. Even if your mother and I are not around to give you guidance, you should grow up on your own.
Don’t keep toys like this close to you in the future. Give them to your subordinates nearby and ask them to pass them on for you.”
Gu Bencan took the slingshot out of his arms and said sincerely, "Dad, I was careless this time. I will be more careful next time."
Seeing that he understood, Gu Wenheng let him go down and rest.
