"That's right," Captain Guan looked back at Qin'er, who was reluctant to speak, and asked again: "In-laws, Siwazi has gained a firm foothold in the capital. Since she has gained a firm foothold and has made a living, can Qin'er be able to reunite with him in the capital?"

Duan Jiqing sighed helplessly: "It's not OK."

Captain Guan asked, "Why can't it be?"

Duan Jiqing looked at his daughter and said helplessly: "The guild hall is not an inn. Not only the peddlers and pawns cannot live, but even the families of civil and military officials cannot live. Women are not allowed to live in. This is the rule! Zhixing, as the chief official of the guild, cannot take the lead in breaking this rule. Besides, he doesn't know when to make up for it, but as long as he makes up, he has to take office. Now no one knows where to go for inspection. Then it will be a hard time."

Zhuzi couldn't help but interrupt: "Uncle Guan, my sister-in-law is pregnant and can't go far now."

Captain Guan pondered and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I was just happy and forgot about this. If I am pregnant, I can't go far. If I move, it will be amazing."

Qin'er's pretty face turned red: "Uncle Guan, I know you are for my own good."

"It would be even better if Siwazi was by your side, Qin'er, I feel wronged."

"Uncle Guan, what did you say? I'm not wronged."

"A good man is determined by all directions. Zhixing wants to do big things. What's this grievance?" Duan Jiqing hoped that his son-in-law would give him a sigh of relief, and then changed the subject: "Brother Guan, Zhixing said in the letter that the renovation of the guild hall is still short of money. The palace examination will be required in two months. Once the palace examination is released, he will have to start construction. This is a big event. Not only can we not sit idly by, but we have to take some action to see if we can help raise some money as soon as possible, and find a ticket number to send him the money before the end of the month."

"In-law, this is not a trivial matter. How can we help this busy?"

"Don't worry, you don't have to pay money, as long as you help run errands," Duan Jiqing pointed to the unopened letter on the table and said with a smile: "These letters were written by Zhixing and Hanlin Academy to Mr. Ji and Mr. Fei, a juren of Bishan, to Mr. Gu. There is also a sketch of what to renovate. The guild hall was originally built by Mr. Gu when he was an official in the capital. It was originally the place where the juren of the 14 prefectures and counties in our Chongqing Prefecture went to Beijing for the examination, so Zhixing wanted to ask Mr. Gu to help raise funds."

"Who should I go with?" Captain Guan asked subconsciously.

"Regarding the scholars from all counties, local gentry should also make some efforts. After all, those who can study and pass the imperial examination are all their children. It can be said that this is a grand event in our Ba County and even Chongqing Shilin. I guess this money should not be difficult to raise."

"Mr. Gu comes forward to arrange the matter, let's help run errands?"

"Well, that's what I mean. The youngest girl is going to have a drink. We can't drink it later. After eating, we will take the lunch to Chaijiaxiang and send the letter to Mr. Gu. Let me hear what Mr. Gu said."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

………

As Han Xiufeng and Fei Erye expected, Mr. Gu, who was unemployed at home, was not very pleased after reading the letters sent by Captain Duan Jiqing and Guan Guan.

He never expected that he would accidentally plant the willows and willows, and a letter made Han Si become the chief of the guild. Han Si did this in a very good manner and actually raised 2,000 taels of silver. Not only did he plan to rebuild the guild, but he also planned to rebuild the guild after it was rebuilt, so that it would be recorded forever.

Isn’t a person living for a lifetime just to have a reputation?

When people mention the Sichuan Guild Hall, they will naturally think of Zhou Huang, Hanlin, Fuzhou during the Qianlong period. If the Chongqing Guild Hall is renovated and stoned as a record, people will also naturally think of him Gu Zhongzheng when they mention the Chongqing Guild Hall. After all, he led the construction of the Guild Hall in the capital.

Mr. Gu became more and more excited as he thought about it. He put down Ji Yunfei's letter and smiled: "Two, Zhixing did not disappoint me. He was open-minded, diligent in his work and valued friendship. He reviewed Ji Bowen of the Hanlin Academy. Fei Chuming, a juren from Bishan, praised Zhixing in his letter. You have a bright face, and I have a bright face!"

"Mr. Gu, Zhixing can be today all depends on your support."

"Yes, yes, if he didn't have your always-official support, he wouldn't have been the leader of the guild."

"I am the sponsor, but if I have a bad character and poor work, even if I have a sponsor, several fellow villagers who are officials in Beijing will not let him do this first thing. After all, Brother Duan, you have a good son-in-law, and Guanban, you have a good nephew!"

Duan Jiqing was so happy that he was praised that he couldn't help but smile and said, "I'm not afraid of Mr. Gu's joke. The reason why Wansheng married his daughter to Zhixing was because Zhixing was a good young man."

Mr. Gu smiled slightly, then pondered: "From the sketch, it takes a lot of money to rebuild and expand. Ji Bowen also said in the letter that Zhixing was helpless in writing books and asking for help from the old man, and even struggled for several days. In fact, he didn't need to be so entangled. Renovating and expanding the guild is a grand event for my Chongqing Shilin. Although it is far away in the capital, students from the fourteen prefectures and counties under our Chongqing Prefecture should do their best."

Duan Jiqing knew very well that no matter how much he spent, his son-in-law would make double the money in the future, so he immediately bowed and said, "Mr. Gu, I'm not talented at night, I'm willing to donate ten taels!"

"Okay, great. As the saying goes, the father and son are in the battle," Mr. Gu nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "I was the first to start the building of the guild hall when I was studying for the exam in Chongqing, but I had no place to stay. Now that I want to rebuild and expand, I naturally have to do my best. It is natural that I donate silver, but our meager strength is obviously not enough. We have to work together and make plans for the long term."

"Mr. Gu, you always make a decision. Wansheng and Guan Bantou listen to your order."

"Brother Duan, do you know which gentry are in this county?"

"I know, all the late children in this county know."

"There are ones that I will help me write invitations to the gentry in this county. After writing, the head of the Laojiaguan team and the old man's famous posts will be sent to Wangjiang Tower for wine the day after tomorrow."

"Sir, I will write a draft first, and you will always read it first. If you do, just write it."

"Don't worry, I'll finish my words," Mr. Gu smiled and continued: "I'll visit Futai, Xuetai, visit the county parents and teachers in a while. Renovating the guild hall is a grand event in my Ba County and even my Chongqing Prefecture. Futai, Xuetai and County parents, and the county teachers should help."

"What Mr. Gu said is that renovating the guild hall is not just my family's ambition, nor is it just your Mr. Gu's business. It is a grand event in our Ba County and even Chongqing Prefecture. The prefecture, learning platform, county magistrate and teaching master should know it."

"Not only the Futai, Xuetai, the parents and teachers of this county, and the county magistrates and teachers of other prefectures and counties cannot be ignored. We will first invite the gentry and students of this county in Wangjiang Tower to discuss the major plans for the renovation and expansion of the guild hall, and then go to Jiangbei, Bishan, Jiangjin, Changshou, and Yongchuan... Let's go one by one in the fourteen prefectures and counties!"

"Master Gu, it's natural to walk one by one. But this time it takes one or two months. Zhixing said that after the palace examination results were released, the construction will start. Is it time for us?"

"Brother Duan, I know that you are anxious about your ambition, but you should also know that renovating the guild hall is not a matter of one day or one day. It will take half a year or even a year to renovate it. Moreover, there are two thousand taels in the public account of the guild hall, so buying materials and starting the construction should be enough, so we have time."

"That's right, look at me, it's so anxious that it will cause chaos!"

"It's right to be anxious. Who made Zhixing your son-in-law?" Mr. Gu smiled and said, "In short, we will do our best to calculate as much as we can. When we walk through this circle, we will dig out all the expenses during the fundraising period and send the full ticket number to Zhixing. Whoever donates should be registered for the booking. When the guild is rebuilt, we must record the stones as a record, so the accounts must be clear."

"Zhixing is a son-in-law who is born late. You should avoid suspicion after you are born late..."
