Traveling through ancient times

The back house of the government office!

Guo Jing was staring at Gu Damei who was kneeling on the ground with a gloomy face!

This woman was taken as a concubine by his mother secretly when he passed through Shannan. She insisted that he take her to his post, saying that the Guo family had few children and this woman had a big butt so she would be easy to bear!

He even kept his first wife, saying that it was a great act of filial piety for a daughter-in-law to serve medicine to her mother-in-law!

He had thought that the trip to Henan Prefecture would not be peaceful, and he would go there alone. Filial piety to his mother was of paramount importance, so he discussed with his wife and had her stay in Shannan for the time being, and Gu Damei would become his concubine and go with him to the post!

Who would have thought that this idiot, who couldn't even make a good vase, actually had the guts to bribe officials to frame students!

It seems... I am too soft-hearted!

"What did I tell you when I brought you to the government office? It's only been a few days... Have you forgotten everything?"

Guo Jing's gloomy face was as black as the bottom of a pot, which showed how angry he was!

Gu Damei's eyes were filled with tears, and the handkerchief in her hand would occasionally touch the corners of her eyes:

"Sir, Damei was wrong. I won't dare to do it again...~嘤嘤..."

"Sir... it's really that Damei heard that Gu Wenzhi was coming to take the exam, and she thought of her parents' current situation, which was caused by her family, so she felt unfair... Damei was angry for a moment and made a wrong decision... Please punish me, sir!"

Guo Jing narrowed his eyes and stared at Gu Damei:

"Tell me, how did they harm your family?"

When Gu Damei heard this, she covered her eyes with a handkerchief and sobbed. Her mind was spinning wildly as she thought of what to say:

"Sir, this Gu Wenzhi is my second uncle's child!..."

"...My second uncle and second aunt died before we fled the famine. We fled with our whole family and took them with us out of kindness. Who knew we would end up in Shannan County..."

"…After settling down, they felt that their grandparents were useless, that our eldest son's family couldn't help them, that their third uncle's family was lazy, and that their fourth uncle's education was expensive. They felt that they were being taken advantage of, so they made a scene every now and then, and finally went to the local government to sever ties with us…"

Gu Damei finally finished her story, and Guo Jing suddenly asked:

"What good will it do them if we break off the relationship? Also, how have they harmed your parents?"

Gu Damei was so frightened that she trembled all over and quickly knelt up and said:

"My father is now half disabled because of them. I will never forgive them!"

After saying this, I thought about how the eldest wife's treatment had been getting worse and worse since my father was poisoned, and how I was being tortured by my grandmother every other day. The hatred in my heart was churning, and my feelings became more sincere!

Seeing Gu Damei like this, Guo Jing couldn't help but think more in his mind. It's just that cheating in the examination is a serious matter. If this idiot is not punished, he will probably do something even bigger!

"Take her away, deduct three months' salary, and confine her to her home for a month!"

Gu Damei wanted to pounce on him and act like a spoiled child, begging Guo Jing to give her a lighter punishment, but she saw a flash of disgust in the adult's eyes, and she was secretly shocked!

Anyway, the eye drops had already been applied, and there was no other way to do it. He could only bow sadly and was locked in the backyard!

The next two exams went smoothly. When several people came out of the examination room, they were as if a huge stone had been lifted off their shoulders. The joy in their eyes told others that they had done well!

Gu Dalian invited Hu Shiwei, Teacher Chen and others to the Fuman Restaurant for a big meal. She was not in a hurry to go home, waiting for the results to be announced in three days!

The clothing store has been renovated, the bunk beds in the staff dormitory at the back have been installed, and even the kitchen has everything you need!

That curtain shop is also very neat and tidy!

Gu Dalian and his group moved out of the inn and moved in directly!

And Gu Wenzhi brought his classmates to help!

Looking at the busy crowd, Gu Dalian had an idea and called her second brother aside:

"Second brother, the staff dormitory behind our clothing store has been cleaned up. It's inconvenient and expensive for everyone to stay in an inn. Why don't you ask them if they want to move out and stay for a few days?"

Gu Wenzhi knew that his sister was paving the way for his future, so he didn't lie. He patted his sister's head and said, "Okay, I'll go discuss it with them!"

After returning to the inn, Gu Wenzhi first went to find Hu Shiwei and Teacher Chen. The two were happy to make a decision immediately. The inn was overcrowded these days and the environment was really not good!

Then tell this to the students from Shannan who are going there with you!

"This is great. This inn makes me feel groggy every day. I can't eat well. I'm about to vomit!"

Hu Shaojie clapped his hands first and agreed: "But we are not living in your new house for free, we will also pay for accommodation and food!"

The others also responded, only a few people felt uncomfortable, one of them said in a sarcastic tone:

"You want to invite us to stay, and you want money. It's obvious that you want to make money from us!"

The others also responded! Pu Qing was so angry that he started to curse:

"Who do you think you are? Why do you want to eat and live for free? I'm giving you face, you can stay here if you want!"

Hu Shaojie also snorted coldly:

"As a scholar, I am ashamed of your weird thinking!"

Everyone echoed it, making those few people blush with shame!

Gu Wenzhi thought for a moment and said:

"This shop has just been renovated, and the workers will arrive in three to five days, which is just the right time for everyone else. The food and supplies are all new. My eldest sister also thinks that since we are all from the same hometown, we should take care of each other as much as possible!"

After saying that, he smiled and continued:

"It's all voluntary. If you want to go, tell me and we'll go together later!"

Eleven people signed up, including Liu Shengzhi of course!

So, the Shannan Academy's carriage and the Gu family's carriage each took seven people to the backyard of the clothing store!

The remaining four people will return to Shannan County together after the notice is issued!

"Oh my god... Brother Gu... It's not cheap for you to rent this house, right?"

"Brother Gu...what are you going to sell in the shop in front? Why is it so well maintained?"

Everyone got off the carriage and was amazed. It was mainly because Gu Dalian combined modern elements with classical elements, making the building the most eye-catching thing on this street!

Gu Dalian planned to go to Lord Guo to ask for a calligraphy for the door plaque after the provincial examination, but it has been left blank for now!

Although the shop door was closed, it had been painted and the windows were open for ventilation, so most of the furnishings inside could be seen. The windows were inlaid with sulfur glass, what a piece of work!

No wonder everyone passing by couldn't help but stop and look inside!

Gu Dalian only brought Qi Huli and Gu Lun to stand outside to greet them. When they saw Chief Hu and his men getting off the carriage, they hurried to greet them!

"Uncle Principal, Uncle Instructor, please come in!"

Hu Shanchang straightened his back, smiled and looked proud:

"Girl, that's good, you're thoughtful! It would be even more thoughtful if there were two or two glasses of wine! Haha..."

Teacher Chen's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly. The students following him dropped their jaws in shock:

Oh my God, please give me some eye drops. Can anyone tell me? Have those two people who were showing off in front been switched? Are they still our headmaster and teacher?

The two shameless old men didn't think too much about it. They pricked up their ears and listened to the little girl:

"Even if there is no one else's wine, the two uncles' wine cannot be missing. Go to the backyard first. I have hired a cook, so we don't have to go out for lunch!"
