Gu Lao Qi had a smile on his face, but he almost cried in his heart. Why was he so difficult!
He suddenly understood why his eldest brother only told them after his mother gave birth. At least they would have less to worry about for ten months.
Tianbao also felt sorry for his brother, but he couldn't defend his seventh brother in front of his father, otherwise his father would be petty and he didn't know what he would do to his seventh brother.
She was wearing a bright green spring dress today, and she had a small embroidered bag of the same color slung across her body. There were a lot of snacks in it. Her mother was afraid that she would be hungry, so she secretly prepared a lot of snacks.
At this time, Tianbao carefully leaned towards Brother Qi, took out a piece of candy from the small embroidery bag, stuffed it into Brother Qi's hand, and then returned to Mr. Gu as if nothing had happened.
Something cool was stuffed into the palm of Gu Laoqi's hand. Before he lowered his head to look at his palm, he knew it was from his little sister, and his heart felt as sweet as honey.
Now he feels that having a younger sister is the right thing for his father to do!
The group of people drove toward the county seat in an ox cart. After about two hours, they arrived at the county gate. After passing the gate, Gu Laoqi got off the car here.
He was going to Fucheng in a few days, and he didn't know if he had time to go. He just wanted to go back to the academy today and ask his master if he could, he wanted to go to Fucheng to meet the rumored Yixuan Academy.
Shaking his robes, he walked towards the academy with a clear figure and a bit of literati pride.
Tian Bao waited until he could no longer see the figure of Seventh Brother, then he looked back and sighed again, the Gu family is so good-looking.
The bullock cart started walking slowly towards the county government office. On the way, it met Boss Gu who was returning from patrol.
Boss Gu stepped forward, said hello to Li Zheng, then turned to look at Tianbao, and took out a small bell ribbon from his arms. There is a small bell as big as a bean on each end of the ribbon, and a small and unique flower is embroidered in the center of the ribbon. The flower is set off by green leaves, which makes it look more lively.
Tianbao could tell at a glance that only the fifth sister had this embroidery skill.
Tianbao was happy, but did not go to get it immediately. Instead, he frowned slightly and asked, "Brother, do you have Gu Xiaoliu?"
Gu Xiaoliu is the eldest brother's daughter.
Mr. Gu laughed and took out another ribbon from his arms. There were also bells on the ribbon, but the embroidery was not as exquisite as the one in front of him.
Tianbao smiled and said crisply: "Thank you, brother, thank you Fifth Sister for your kindness."
After saying that, he reached out and took the embroidery-like ribbon over. Boss Gu didn't react. He just wanted to talk to Tianbao. He changed the one in his hand, but when his eyes touched Tianbao's apricot eyes, he was stunned.
Those eyes didn't have the same joy as before, nor a trace of anger, but there was nothing strange about them.
"Little sister...I..."
"Brother, I like this very much." He said and raised the ribbon in his hand.
Boss Gu swallowed back what he wanted to say. He didn't dare to say anything. He felt that his younger sister was angry and saw his father's searching eyes. A smile appeared on his face: "Xiao Liu will also like this very much." That's right." He said and raised the ribbon on his hand like Tianbao did.
"Okay, hurry in."
Mr. Gu's face was full of displeasure. He had been here for a while, but he didn't say a word of greeting to me, and he kept trying to please Tianbao.
The more I look at it, the angrier I get. It's not like I don't have a daughter!
After hearing the voice, Boss Gu seemed to have just seen Mr. Gu: "Dad! Why are you here?"
Mr. Gu was angry: "What? I can't come yet?"
"Dad, that's not what I meant."
"I That's what you mean." Mr. Gu became so arrogant that he even feared himself.
As soon as Tianbao looked at the old man, he knew that he was being ignored, so he got a little angry. This was easy to handle.
Mr. Gu was still sulking, when suddenly a fat little body got into his arms, and the next second he heard a milky voice: "Your little cutie is here, please sign for it~"
What is a sign for it?
But his daughter is indeed his little cutie.
"Don't be ashamed!" Mr. Gu grinned and shouted "Don't be ashamed", but he picked up his daughter and held her firmly in his arms.
He even gave Boss Gu a provocative look.
Boss Gu had no choice but to turn around and pretend not to see. He happened to ask Uncle Li Zheng what they were doing here.
I came here yesterday to take care of Zhuangzi. Are you here today? Did you buy it again?
"Uncle, why are you here today?"
When Li Zheng saw that the eldest son of the Gu family didn't know, he immediately told what he knew. Upon hearing this, Boss Gu frowned, somewhat disapproving of what he did, but what happened next After hearing that it was Tianbao's suggestion, he no longer disagreed.
Whatever my sister said is right.
He immediately turned around and went to the Yamen to meet Li Zheng and Mr. Gu. Tianbao didn't want to be hugged halfway, so he ran to the front alone. Mr. Gu who was walking behind quietly pulled his father's sleeves, and the two of them whispered. , to achieve a consistent purpose.
These are things Tianbao doesn't know.
Going to the county government office to handle the transfer of ownership would not be possible directly, but the county government office had a backdoor and the transfer was completed.
After the transfer was completed, Li Zheng parted ways with his father and daughter because he had something to do, leaving them alone to go to the dental shop together.
Fenglai County is neither big nor small, but its economy is considered to be the highest compared to other counties of the same level, so there are only two dental shops in Fenglai County.
This dental shop only deals in human trafficking, and has the most connections with brothels. Mr. Gu felt that this kind of dental shop was very dirty, so he went to another dental shop.
This dental shop is doing righteous business, and the people in its hands are willing to sell themselves. And the people in this dental shop are all selling to various high-profile households. Not only are their characters good, but they also have good looks. You also have to pass.
As soon as the Gu family father and daughter stepped into the tooth shop, a mother-in-law warmly welcomed them.
"Does this gentleman and lady plan to buy some slaves or a maid? The girls in our dental shop are all from innocent families, and they all sell themselves voluntarily. There is no need to worry about other problems."
Mr. Gu did not say anything. After all, buying a slave is still a matter of business . Hiring requires Tianbao's approval, and he has to keep a close eye on them and select those with good moral character.
"I wonder what you call your mother-in-law?" It was Tianbao who spoke. She raised her little face and looked at the mother-in-law who spoke with a pair of bright eyes, and her voice was nice and tight.
When the mother-in-law saw that it was a child talking, she immediately understood that this might be a wealthy family that specially allowed the young lady of the family to come out and see the world, and said, "Thank you, Miss, if you don't mind, please call me Granny Li."
"Grandma Li! "
Tianbao shouted immediately, with a smile on his face, which made people feel very happy.
"I wonder if the young lady plans to choose some girls who are of the age they want to be as maids, or find a group of people who can do the work?"
"I wonder if Grandma Li has anyone who knows martial arts? It's best to get more."
