Although Yun Da was constantly trying to convince himself that letting Yun Duo go home with her biological father was the best choice for her, he still couldn't suppress his disappointment when Gu Shaoyong walked up to him. So much so that when Gu Shaoyong reached out to introduce himself, Yun Da instinctively avoided his outstretched hand.
Of course, as soon as he dodged, Yun Dazheng realized what he had done and couldn't help but feel uneasy.
After all, he's a big shot. He took the initiative to shake my hand, but I avoided it. Will he think that I'm deliberately being disrespectful to him?
Yun Dazheng was a little nervous. He rubbed his hands hard on his clothes and quickly reached out to grab Gu Shaoyong's hand, which hadn't yet withdrawn.
"Hello... hello," Yun Dazheng stammered.
Gu Shaoyong smiled slightly at Yun Dazheng and said, "Hello Uncle Yun, I am Duo'er's father. My name is Gu Shaoyong. You can call me Xiao Gu."
Xiao Gu?
Just kidding!
Yun Dazheng would never dare to do that.
He swallowed hard, then squeezed out a few words: "Mr. Gu... Hello..." As he spoke, a sudden thought flashed through his mind, and he pointed to a stone stool in the courtyard, saying repeatedly, "Sit down, Mr. Gu, don't stand, please sit down. Please sit down." As he spoke, he brushed non-existent dust off the stool with his sleeve, and said to Gu Shaoyong, "People sit on it every day, it's clean."
"Thank you, Uncle Yun." Gu Shaoyong nodded and sat down readily.
He could tell that Yun Dazheng was very nervous, and he had no intention of talking to Yun Dazheng about Yun Duo right now, so he decided to get down to business first.
"Uncle Yun knows that my main purpose in coming here this time is for your family's rice. Xi Chuan sent an urgent telegram to the King's office, and His Majesty the King took it very seriously and personally ordered us to come and nationalize your family's rice."
"Of course, we won't just take it away for nothing. According to His Majesty the King's instructions, we will purchase all the rice at market prices, and at the same time, we will exempt your entire family from all future taxes."
At this point, Gu Shaoyong said somewhat awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Uncle Yun. I know that your family's household registration only includes you and your aunt, and my daughter Yunduo. So, in this respect, we are actually in a bit of a debt to you."
"However, when I came here, His Majesty the King granted me the authority to act expediently. Uncle Yun, you can make any requests you have. As long as I am here, I will grant them if I can."
It can also be considered as gratitude to him for standing up for his daughter during her most difficult time, shielding her from harm.
Because Gu Shaoyong was talking about serious matters, Yun Dazheng's chaotic emotions were somewhat suppressed. He thought about it seriously, shook his head at Gu Shaoyong, and said, "To be honest, this season's rice at home was all thanks to Duo'er's efforts, and it has little to do with me. So, if we really want anything, we should ask Duo'er what she wants."
"However, since you've asked me, I'll shamelessly mention a point or two. Would you like to hear it?"
Gu Shaoyong nodded: "Uncle Yun, please speak."
