Chapter 972: Do You Remember What Happened Back Then?
Father Gu also complained with a stomach, but he couldn't stop it. After all, Li Langzhong has no son, and the apprentice is the one who will retire in the future.
Gu Wan opened her mouth, and then persuaded with a smile: "Isn't this just the opportunity to let the fourth sister-in-law and the child go out for a walk?" Mother, the fourth brother will come back in a few days, and I can't say that I can catch up with Brother Fang'er to get married. ”
She knows the truth, after all, her embroidery workshop has many distinguished customers, and the news is naturally well-informed. In addition, Sun Xian revealed a few words to her and told her the truth, so Gu Wan's heart has been hanging in her for the past two days.
Everyone immediately put their feelings behind them and talked about what had happened around them in the past two years.
The atmosphere became lively and everyone was smiling. Even Erlang is very knowledgeable today, and he is no longer yin and yang.
The third child, Gu Chenglian, looked at Gu Chengyu and stopped talking, which was different from the happy smiles of everyone in the room, on the contrary, there was still some sorrow on his face.
Gu Chengyu had already noticed that his third brother seemed to have something on his mind just now, but now that there are many people, it is not good to ask too much.
Gu Chengyu planned to find another opportunity to ask later, he said hello to everyone, and planned to go back to his courtyard first.
Now that you're back, you can't wear an official meal, right? I still have to go back and change into my regular clothes.
Gu Chenglian saw that Gu Chengyu was about to leave the main room, so he hurriedly got up and followed.
Gu Chengyu walked out of the main house, walked to the plum tree in front of him, and then stood still under the tree.
"Xiaobao!" Gu Chenglian walked eagerly, and when he saw Gu Chengyu waiting for him under the plum tree, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
There was one thing that had been holding in his heart for several days, and he couldn't make up his mind, so he wanted to discuss it with Xiaobao.
Xiaobao has always had the right idea, and it is right to listen to him.
"Third brother! But something is looking for me? Gu Chengyu looked at him with a smile, judging from his third brother's face, it didn't seem to be a bad thing, but it seemed like he was hesitating because of something.
Gu Chenglian glanced around, "Go to your yard and talk about it!" ”
Gu Chengyu nodded, "It's okay, I'm just going back to change into my regular clothes!" ”
The two walked into Gu Chengyu's courtyard together, and as soon as they arrived at the wing, Gu Chenglian sat on a chair.
Gu Chengyu didn't care about him, but ordered Honeysuckle to bring him the regular clothes.
"Little treasure! Do you remember when I was in school in the town to strike iron, the first time I hit someone with a big knife? ”
Gu Chenglian saw that Gu Chengyu was not curious at all, and he couldn't help but be discouraged. Then I couldn't help it and began to talk about what happened.
Gu Chengyu was a little surprised, of course he remembered this incident.
"Of course I do! At that time, our family also lost ten taels of silver because of this incident, and we were not separated at that time, and the family was very troublesome. ”
Gu Chenglian was very embarrassed to say this, and he didn't know what he thought at that time.
It must have been his own fault, and he used the iron without the master's consent.
Gu Chengyu changed his clothes, turned around and asked, "What's the matter?" Did you meet that person in the capital? ”
Gu Chenglian's eyes widened and nodded violently.
Gu Chengyu couldn't help but laugh dumbly, it had been eleven years since the incident, but he didn't expect the third brother to remember the appearance of that person.
That's right, this incident taught the third brother a lesson very much, and it is normal to be deeply impressed.
"Did you ask him for any money? Back then, he took the knife and left, but this time he had to let it be returned! ”
Gu Chengyu had a smile on his face, and by the way, he teased his third brother.
Gu Chenglian rolled his eyes at Gu Chengyu, "Naturally, I want it." ”
Gu Chengyu nodded, and then put away the playful smile on his face, "Say it!" What else is going on? It's just that for the sixty taels of silver, you can't be so entangled. ”
"But he gave me back the money, sixty taels, which is a lot. He was still startled when I grabbed him. I just met him in the shop, otherwise I wouldn't have touched him. ”
Gu Chenglian was deeply impressed by this person, and because of this incident, he almost had to serve as a conscription.
"He doesn't remember me very much, he came to the shop to fight weapons. I heard that my craftsmanship was good, so I came to find me. Hum! Fortunately, I recognized him, otherwise these sixty taels would have no chance to ask for it again in this life. ”
When Gu Chenglian said this, he was also angry.
"Did he say why?" Gu Chengyu was a little curious, he felt that this person should not have deliberately relied on silver, but it was not like what he said, his identity was a dart master.
Gu Chenglian shook his head, "He didn't make it clear, he just said that he ran into the enemy." However, he told me something that I had been thinking about for the past two days. ”
"What's the matter? Do you want you to give him more weapons? Are you afraid that he will not give money? Or is this person a special person who wants to ask you to do something? Gu Chengyu asked with some curiosity.
Gu Chenglian looked at Gu Chengyu, and suddenly asked with a mysterious face: "What kind of place do you say the Ordnance Bureau is?" ”
Gu Chengyu was stunned for a moment, "You said he was from the Ordnance Bureau?" ”
Gu Chenglian nodded, "That's what he said, and he showed me his token." ”
"What is it?" Gu Chengyu raised the tea bowl on the table and took a sip, going through the officials of the Ordnance Bureau of the Ministry of Industry in his mind.
It's a pity that he only knows a few of the officials of the Ordnance Bureau, and he doesn't know the others.
Besides, the Ordnance Bureau has not only officials, but also craftsmen who make weapons.
"It seems to be an ambassador of the ninth grade, look at what is written on the token, and his name is Gu Zhengqi."
Gu Chengyu clasped the table with his fingers, he had never heard the name Gu Zhengqi. What's more, the other party is just a nine-grade official, and he is not in the officialdom at all, and he will have few opportunities to come into contact with.
"But I want to call you to the Armory?"
"Yes! He said that he liked my craftsmanship, and he used that knife for many years. The last time I came to fight, he praised me for the improvement in my craft. Xiaobao, is he trying to recruit me? Want me to work in the Ordnance Bureau? ”
Gu Chenglian looked at Gu Chengyu with a curious expression, and Gu Chengyu looked at him as if he was very yearning for the Ordnance Bureau.
After a deep groan, Gu Chengyu said, "Third brother! I don't know if this person's identity is true or not, I think we better be cautious, did he say how do you get in touch? ”
"I was hesitating at the time, so he said that he would wait for ten days and then come back to the shop to look for me." Gu Chenglian couldn't sleep at night for the past two days, thinking about it over and over again.
Although his shop also has a little fame in the capital, the surrounding residents are looking for him to make ironware, and some people even come here.
It's just that he makes some scissors, kitchen knives and farm tools every day, and he feels a little uncomfortable.
He wanted to fight some weapons, and when he did the weapons, he felt that he was full of energy and had inexhaustible strength in his body.
He also fought a few big knives and a few swords before, except for a few that Xiaobao took, the others were thrown into the shop and stained with dust.
