Chapter 5830 Where are you?
Father Gu picked up the clothes on the ground and looked at them carefully. The material of these clothes came from Hangzhou a while ago. The price was moderate and they were sold well in the county town.
Usually those who buy this kind of material and go back to tailor clothes are the kind of people who run a small business in the county and have a small fortune.
Father Gu had a smile on his face and said repeatedly: "Brother, if you have something to say, please tell me. Our family is doing conscientious business. There must be some misunderstanding..."
The acting shopkeeper also persuaded: "Sir, our clothes are all sold to neighbors. The shop has been here for only a year or two, and there has never been any trouble. Could it be you?"
The mother-in-law herself didn’t wash herself well…”
"Shut your mouth. My mother-in-law is clean. She is fragrant and white every day! If you dare to say that my mother-in-law is not clean, I will smash your mouth."
The acting shopkeeper quickly changed his words: "Sir, you have misunderstood. I am not talking about your mother-in-law. I am saying that the clothes may not have been washed properly, and maybe they were stained by bugs or something, which caused the itching."
…”
"Your farts are getting stinkier and stinkier. My mother-in-law washes the clothes very cleanly. The reason why the black clothes can be washed white for you is because of the material of your clothes. This will wear you to death and you will have to pay for it..."
When encountering this kind of unruly customer, they started shouting and acting violently, attracting many onlookers.
In order to suppress the impact quickly, Father Gu had to find an excuse to blame the hot weather and bugs as the reason. At the same time, he still changed the fabric for the customer.
After handling this matter, Gu's father's face darkened and he was very unhappy.
He summoned the store's acting shopkeeper to the backyard to inquire about the matter in detail. The acting shopkeeper was also confused.
"Master, this guy just can't poop because he thinks the pit is not good enough. When we meet such a messy person, we really don't need to worry about it. There's nothing wrong with our cloth. It's just that woman's skin."
sick."
Gu's father also thought so, "Not only did he pay for the cloth, but he also gave him an extra hundred cash. This business is lost!"
"Master, let's spend some money to get rid of the disaster. Let's spend some money to send people away. This matter will be over. We will earn it back elsewhere..."
If Yang Ruoqing were here and heard these words, she would definitely admire that this person is really a master chef, and he can make chicken soup for the soul, which is thick and delicious.
It's a pity that before Gu's father had a few sips, someone came looking for him outside.
This guy works in another rice and grain shop.
"My boss, it's not good, it's not good. A customer came to our door and said that we sold moldy rice to others. If they come to return the rice, they still have to save money to compensate. They said that if they don't compensate, they will go to court to sue us...
"
"That's nonsense. My family and I all eat rice from the rice and grain shop. How could it possibly get moldy? Are you trying to extort money again?"
"Boss, there are big customers among those, the shopkeepers of the restaurants and stalls in the town..."
This means that the other party is not something that can be dismissed with three melons and two dates. If it is not handled well, it may really lead to a lawsuit in court?
Gu's father was one and two big, and someone came outside again. Once this person came, he couldn't stop.
They were all clerks from various shops owned by the Gu family. Almost on the same day, all of Gu's father's shops had problems. The last one to arrive was the newly opened dried fruit shop not long ago.
This time the person who came over was not the clerk from the dried fruit shop, but the acting shopkeeper.
On a hot day, and it didn't rain, the shopkeeper Dai held a bamboo hat to cover his head. He took off the bamboo hat to reveal a face dripping with sweat, full of panic.
"Dong, Dong, Jiajia, no, no..."
"Don't speak yet, let me slow down."
The person who came here already stuttered a bit, and he stuttered even more when he was nervous about something.
Father Xiang raised his hand and wished he could cover the stumbling mouth of the acting shopkeeper in front of him.
He found a flower bed next to him and sat down. His fingers were twitching and his pulse was beating like a cramp.
It's really a bad day today. If I had known it, I wouldn't have gone out.
"Tell me, what's going on!"
"Master, there is someone, eat, eat us..."
"Did someone eat the dried fruits from our shop and come here to make trouble? Father Gu couldn't stand it anymore and shouted directly.
The acting shopkeeper was stunned for a moment and nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes..."
"An official came and sealed our shop. I asked my boss to go to the Yamen!" The last sentence, the acting shopkeeper suddenly stopped stuttering and finished it in one breath.
Father Gu covered his face with his hands, and his whole body collapsed instantly.
…
At the same time, Qing'an County.
Gu Zhihua worked hard and just arrived in Qing'an County. Before he could find Shuhua, he met several classmates from the academy.
These classmates are all from prominent families in Qing'an County. Usually when Gu Zhihua wants to make friends with them in the academy, they all seem to keep a distance.
I didn't expect to meet them just after entering the city. What's more, I didn't expect that some of them saw Gu Zhihua and greeted him from a distance.
No matter what the reason was, Gu Zhihua would definitely go over and say hello.
After a few conversations, I learned that several of them were invited to a poetry and essay drinking party.
"Brother Gu, let's go together?" Someone invited Gu Zhihua.
Gu Zhihua was thinking about picking up Shuhua and telling her the good news about getting married. The classmate who sent the invitation said again: "Brother Gu, it is important to be able to study, but it is even more important to be able to make friends. Such a good opportunity
Even if you don’t go and broaden your horizons, the host of this poetry and prose drinking party is..."
He whispered a name into Gu Zhihua's ear.
Gu Zhihua's eyelids jumped when he heard that name.
If you can really be favored by that person and become a disciple, even if you fail to pass the Jinshi examination, you can still find a job as a county magistrate based on your status.
If we had better luck, the county magistrate wouldn't be a problem.
"Okay, I'll go back home first, change my clothes, wash myself off, and then I'll meet you there," Gu Zhihua said.
His classmates held his shoulders and refused to let him go: "Hey, you can't get into a place like that without us taking you. Let's go, let's go. Brother Gu, you are a beautiful tree facing the wind, rich and handsome, so hurry up and go!"
Gu Zhihua thought for a moment, that's okay. After all, everyone has arrived in Qing'an County. It's not in a hurry to report the good news to Shuhua immediately. It's more important to make friends with the nobles first.
Gu Zhihua did not appear in the small courtyard in Qing'an County for three days.
All the family's shops were sealed, and evidence of tax evasion by Gu's father was also uncovered...
Although most business people have two account books in their hands, Gu's father also had one, but the evidence of Gu's father's crime was far from enough to land him in jail and have his shop closed.
The reason is that his account books have been tampered with. If such account books are sent to the government office, he must be labeled as a profiteer and a black-hearted businessman.
When word of what happened at home reached Qing'an County, Shuhua was also panicked.
Especially when she heard that Gu Zhihua returned to Qing'an County three days ago but never showed up, Shuhua had a bad feeling in her heart.
No matter how much she planned to earn 11,000 yuan, no matter how much Gu's father's business failed and he was imprisoned, she didn't panic.
Because Gu Zhihua is a civil servant, she is not afraid of this fame.
