Xu Chongfeng was right. The Gu family was indeed a blessed family. Previously, Gu Jincheng had just studied with Xia Gu. As soon as Xia Gu and his wife left, they met Mr. Ouyang. After a few words, Mr. Ouyang agreed to stay and teach Brother Cheng.

"No more life, no more life, how can it be so unfair?" Magistrate Zheng was bitter and envious, but he couldn't force Mr. Ouyang to accept his brother Qing, so he could only be anxious.

Brother Cheng is an extremely sensible child. He plays well with Zheng Qing. After following Ouyang Hu for a while, he talks about Brother Qing: "Brother Qing is very good. You can teach me everything you teach me. Why don't you give Qing a lesson?" Call me brother, how about we teach you together?"

Although Ouyang Hu felt that Brother Qing was a bit boring, there was nothing wrong with giving him some advice.

However, he did not agree quickly. Instead, he followed Brother Cheng in a battle of wits and courage for a few days. After being unexpectedly defeated by Brother Cheng twice, he finally agreed to let Brother Qing come and study with him.

Magistrate Zheng was very happy when he learned about it. He couldn't sleep at night and took his wife to discuss what apprenticeship ceremony he should prepare for Mr. Ouyang.

As a result, I didn't sleep all night, and the next day with dark circles under my eyes, I came to the door with a lot of gifts, but Mr. Ouyang didn't take any of them. He only said: "It's just to teach some knowledge. What are you doing with so many things? I don't even know." Where are they going to be piled up? Take them back, or we will take Brother Qing away with you."

Magistrate Zheng was so frightened that he hurriedly said: "You have become vulgar in your late life. I will take these vulgar things back and won't keep them to stain your eyes."

Unexpectedly, Mr. Ouyang said after hearing this: "Do you think I am a good person? I don't accept these things not because I am pretending, but because I just want to teach your children. Your family does not need to be so grand. Pull it. A truckload of gifts comes, not to mention the burden, and I may not like the things they give. It’s really superfluous and superfluous.”

After saying that, he snorted coldly, which frightened Magistrate Zheng. He wiped his hands with cold sweat and apologized in the cold winter. Mrs. Zheng also hurriedly apologized.

In short, the day Brother Qing came to study with Ouyang Hu, Magistrate Zheng was almost frightened to death because he was afraid that Ouyang Hu would not teach Brother Qing if he was unhappy.

Fortunately, Brother Qing was left behind in the end.

Because Brother Qing was able to study with Mr. Ouyang, Magistrate Zheng was very grateful to Brother Cheng and now treats Brother Cheng as his own nephew.

Mrs. Zheng is the same. As long as there is something delicious at home, she will ask Brother Qing to bring a portion for Brother Cheng to eat.

But Brother Qing really wanted to tell them that Brother Cheng's family has Yanfu Tower, and there is no shortage of delicious food at all.

However, Brother Qing didn't want his mother to be sad, so he always brought the things that his mother had prepared for Brother Cheng.

I brought it with me today, and now I am waving to Brother Cheng, asking him to come over and eat.

Brother Cheng trotted over.

"I'm back, everything went well." Gu Jinan responded to Ouyang Hu's previous words.

Shang Xiucai also bowed to Ouyang Hu: "Wen Yuan pays homage to Mr. Ouyang."

Mr. Ouyang was in a bad mood, so he just nodded in response and continued to look far ahead.

Gu Jinan followed Ouyang Hu's gaze and happened to see the waterfall that was so frozen that the water could not flow. He instantly understood what was bothering Mr. Ouyang.

He laughed, took out the house deed that he had prepared long ago, and handed it to Mr. Ouyang with both hands: "Mr. Ouyang, my family has a house in the town with a front storehouse and a back house. We don't need this house. Now we have to sell it." Here you go, you can take it apart however you want.”

Mr. Ouyang became energetic immediately after hearing this. He took the house deed and said, "You are really smart, so I won't be polite. But don't worry, after I leave, this house will be sold to you at the price I paid for it." The home will not be sold to other homes.”

Qingfu Town is not big, but there are many people, so it is difficult to buy houses in the town.

Brother Cheng smiled and said, "Grandpa Ouyang, do you want to tell me not to sell it too expensively to you?"

With a bang, Ouyang Hu knocked Brother Cheng on the head: "I'm just afraid of this. Why, why don't I stop being afraid?"

Brother Cheng covered his head and said with a smile: "Grandpa Ouyang can certainly be scary, but don't worry, my eldest brother is the best. He is especially good to the elderly and will not sell you too high a price."

Ouyang Hu glanced at him: "Can't you go a day without praising your elder brother?"

Brother Cheng really admired Gu Jinan very much. He said a lot of good things about Gu Jinan almost every day, which made his ears bristle.

Gu Jinan did not hesitate and said: "Although the houses in the town are not expensive, most of them cost one or two hundred taels of silver, and the most expensive will not exceed five hundred taels, but this house is newly renovated and occupies a large area. There are also rare rocks and famous flowers, please give me three thousand taels."

Xia Gu calls himself a madman and dislikes the Wan family's house because it is too small. In the past three years, he bought the three houses on the left, right and behind to expand the Xia house. Now it is a benefit for his family.

Ouyang Hu nodded immediately after hearing this: "Three thousand taels to buy this house is really just right. You are a good boy and have a delicate heart."

Gu Jinan smiled and said: "Linglongxin doesn't dare to take this seriously. I just want you to live in the late life more comfortably and stay longer. This will be good for my family."

Mr. Ouyang laughed loudly and said to Shang Xiucai: "You are really an amazing apprentice. You are steady yet alert, mature yet still young in spirit. Not bad. You have gained a good apprentice."

Seeing that Gu Jinan knew how to handle things and gave him two hams, he helped him.

Gu Jinan was very grateful, but Shang Xiucai said: "Wen Yuan is not An Geer's master, he is just his teacher. The Gu family was given to Shu Xiu, and An Geer should pay homage to his fortune teller again."

Mr. Ouyang frowned and cursed: "Shang Wenyuan, did you know that you would hurt the child's heart like this? I wanted to teach An Ge'er at the beginning, and I deliberately asked him if he would like to be my teacher? But An Ge'er But he said that he had already chosen a master in his mind, and although he was a scholar, he treated him like a son, and he treated the scholar like a father."

"I laughed at him at the time and said that he was just a scholar. With his ability, it would be useless to have a scholar as his teacher. But he said that famous teachers are easy to find, but it is difficult to find a master who treats him like a son. As for his official career, he will take it by himself. , no need for Master’s protection.”

Ouyang Hu looked at Shang Xiucai and said: "The child has already said such words, do you still refuse? Judging from your article, you are also a person who has the world in his heart, why do you have to be so inferior?"

Shang Xiucai was so embarrassed by the scolding that he said: "I just want An Ge'er to have a good master who can protect his smooth official career."

"No need." Gu Jinan immediately knelt down and said to Shang Xiucai: "Sir, please teach me and treat me like a son. This is the master I want most. Please accept me as a disciple."

Then he looked up at Shang Xiucai and said: "When I came back this time, I found that my husband had aged a lot. I also knew that my husband was worried about Yuanyuan's future. The student even wanted to worship him as his teacher and decide on the master-disciple status. I am qualified to take care of my husband and support Yuanyuan."
