Chapter 445: Ye Zhiqiu's Livelihood
This time it was Gu Chengyu's turn to be surprised, he glanced at Ye Zhiqiu's expression vaguely, he didn't expect Ye Zhiqiu to be so good at talking this time.
If it were according to the past, Ye Zhiqiu would definitely excuse himself in every possible way, feeling embarrassed, and thanking him many times.
Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but laugh when he saw Gu Chengyu's surprise, "What?" I'm so happy this time, aren't you used to it? ”
Gu Chengyu was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head and smiled, it was naturally good for Ye Zhiqiu to have such a change.
"That's how it should be, we've known each other for so many years, we shouldn't be like this. However, have you ever wanted to find a job for your family? It's good that aunts don't have to work so hard. ”
Gu Chengyu, as Ye Zhiqiu's friend, didn't plan for him. It's just that the Ye family only has one man, Ye Zhiqiu, and this Ye Zhiqiu still has to study, so naturally he doesn't have the energy to take care of those livelihoods.
Mother Ye is a female dependent, and it is impossible for her to show her face, so Mother Ye can only do embroidery to sell.
Of course Ye Zhiqiu thought about it, but he knew that Gu Chengyu's restaurant was very profitable, but he didn't have any good ideas, and they didn't know any other skills except embroidery.
Besides, he has no one under him, so he has to do everything by himself. Now that he is an official, he must not have that spare time. What's more, Dayan Dynasty officials were forbidden to do business.
Ye Zhiqiu smiled bitterly, "Isn't there no one yet?" The shopkeepers under your command are so capable, but such talents are hard to come by. Besides, my temple is small, and people don't look down on it. What's more, I don't know what to do for a living. ”
Speaking of this, Ye Zhiqiu was also very distressed. He doesn't have Gu Chengyu's courage, nor does he have the ability of others.
In fact, his requirements are not high, a little wealth is peace, as long as he can have a livelihood without worrying about eating and drinking.
Hearing this, Gu Chengyu pondered for a while, if it was just no one, it would have been easy to solve before, and his shopkeeper would have borrowed him to make it happen for a while, but what about after that?
It is impossible for him to give his shopkeeper to Ye Zhiqiu, not to mention whether people are willing or not, and he is easy to use, and he doesn't really want to change the shopkeeper, which makes people feel even more chilled.
Even if you go to buy someone, you have to touch it, and it's not easy to buy something cute.
Gu Chengyu suddenly thought of Ye Zhiqiu's eldest sister, "What do your eldest sister and brother-in-law do?" ”
Gu Chengyu hadn't paid attention to what Ye Zhiqiu's brother-in-law did before, but he only heard that Ye Zhiqiu's eldest sister's father-in-law was the shopkeeper.
"I studied for a few years before, but I didn't pass it once, and then I didn't want to take the exam, I just said that I was interested in doing business." Ye Zhiqiu's eyes suddenly lit up, could it be that Jinyu meant this?
However, his brother-in-law's father was the shopkeeper of a large silk village. Although there is another owner in the silk village, the monthly money for a month as a shopkeeper is also a lot. Because his eldest sister is not young, she was already eighteen when she got married, and it was too late to say that she was married.
The man took a fancy to him as a scholar, and he was admitted to the juren, so he was happy with this family business. The brother-in-law's family has a house in the town, and the family has a comfortable life, and he also thinks about it, and his brother-in-law has a good temperament, so he agreed.
Otherwise, he is a sister who lifts people, and he is afraid that he will not be able to marry better?
"So what is he doing for a living now? You can ask him for help and give him a share of the profits. If you don't know what to do, I've got an idea. It's for food, and I'll write it to you when I get back. ”
Gu Chengyu planned to give Ye Zhiqiu the recipe for stringing incense, this is not too technical, as long as he is diligent and hard-working, not to mention the wealth he earns, he can also eat and drink without worrying. When the time comes, let Ye Zhiqiu share some dry shares with his brother-in-law, and then let Ye's mother go to the shop to help and play a supervisory role.
What's more, those seasonings must be in Ye Zhiqiu's hands, not to mention that everyone is a relative, and they are not outsiders. As time goes by, people's hearts will always change, who doesn't blush when they see money?
"But the recipe? That's a precious thing, and I can't ask for you for nothing. I'll give you the money, or give you a share, and you'll choose. Although Ye Zhiqiu can honestly accept the kindness of others, he is still principled.
Gu Chengyu has already helped him a lot, he can't accept all the gifts from Gu Chengyu under the banner of being a friend.
Gu Chengyu nodded after hearing this, and didn't argue with Ye Zhiqiu, "Whatever you want!" When the recipe is written, I'll sell it to you. ”
Selling Fangzi to Ye Zhiqiu was also because he didn't want to get involved. Besides, he was not short of silver, but only intended to collect a little meaning.
The two talked a few more words in the carriage, and finally Gu Chengyu returned to the house and hurriedly had dinner, and then went to the study.
He had to think carefully about the specific matters of the tea tax, and the emperor only gave him two days. When it is done today, he plans to show it to the teacher first, and then present it to the emperor.
Ming Yan has returned from Ho Chuan Mansion, "My lord! ”
Ming Yan took the tea tray outside the study, and when he heard Gu Chengyu shouting in, he dared to push the door in.
Gu Chengyu glanced at the Ming Yan who came in and put down the pen in his hand.
"Has Ji Furui already arranged?"
"Back to my lord! It had been arranged, a hidden place had been found for her, and four people had been left to watch her. It's just that Miss Ji started to be a little uncooperative at first, and our people were a little rude. However, it didn't hurt Miss Ji. "Ming Yan will go to Hechuan Mansion to report to Gu Chengyu one by one.
Gu Chengyu nodded to indicate that he knew, and being caught and locked up for some reason was something that everyone had to resist.
"Miss Guo, did you explain? Is everything okay with them in Ho Tram Province? Suddenly thinking of Guo Moruo, Gu Chengyu asked casually.
Xiao explained to Miss Guo, only saying that some of the reasons are inconvenient to explain, and this is also for the good of Miss Ji. Miss Guo said that she believes in the adult's character, and she has your own reasons for doing so, and she also dragged the small one to say hello to the adult. ”
When Ming Yan said this, he couldn't help but have an ambiguous smile on his face.
When Miss Guo saw them go, the joy emanating from her heart could not deceive people. Although Miss Guo has never seen the appearance of the adults in his family, she can also see that there is always some inexplicability to the adults of his family.
Gu Chengyu ignored this, and didn't pay attention to the ambiguous smile on Ming Yan's face. I just thought that the reason for saying hello to him was because he asked Ming Yan to bring a lot of food and clothing.
"You let those people show me, and then call a girl with better martial arts skills, and let her keep an eye on Ji Furui every step of the way."
Gu Chengyu planned to wait for the news from Yingnanfu to arrive, and then start investigating the matter. will not let Ji Furui be locked up for long, after all, the days of being locked up are not comfortable.
After Ming Yan left, Gu Chengyu fought at night, and finally sorted out the general idea, and all that was left was to list him one by one.
Tomorrow he will take a break and show the teacher the list to see if there are any changes that need to be made.
