Gu Qing put the banknote into his arms with trembling hands.
This was two hundred taels of silver!
Such a large amount of money can last for the family for decades. He can’t lose it.
Then Gu Fei turned to Gu Erlang and said: “Second brother after Third Brother pawns something, you can take some money and go to the city to rent a yard. Just rent it for a month. The place needs to be bigger and can fit the mules and carts. Once you’ve rented the yard, you can go to Nanshi to meet Eldest Brother. You buy some things and put them in the yard.”
Gu Fei continued: “Third Brother after you pawn the jewelry, you also meet up with Eldest Brother. Dad and I will go to the Jiaofang house. You can also buy good things and hire someone to look after the rented place.”
Gu Fei looked at Gu Zhang again: “Dad, is this arrangement okay?”
Gu Zhang thought for a moment, “Is it necessary to rent a yard in the city?”
Gu Fei smiled and said, “Dad, if our family suddenly drives a few mules and carts back, then won’t the village be in chaos?”
She was from the Marquis Mansion, and it was not a secret that the mansion was ransacked. At that time, some people will wonder if she hid the money, and maybe some jealous people report it to the government, which will be a big trouble.
Gu Zhang quickly thought of this, nodded, and looked at Gu Fei with relief, “I am not as considerate as you are.”
They entered the city in less than half an hour. Gu Qing got off the carriage with his brothers at the gate of the city.
While Gu Fei and Gu Zhang went straight to the Jiaofang House.
The door of the Jiaofang House was open.
Gu Zhang and Gu Fei got out of the carriage. As soon as they walked to the door and looked in, the doorman yelled: “What are you doing? You can’t come in here, you go. This is not the place for you to come!”
Gu Zhang laughed as he touched the silver in his sleeve pocket: “Uncle, I want to ask you something.”
“Where are you from, country bumpkins? I told you to get out, didn’t you hear me?” The doorman didn’t wait for Gu Zhang to approach and stretched out his hand to push him hard.
Gu Zhang was originally standing on the steps. With this push, his body leaned back.
Gu Fei hurriedly tried to pull him, but she was injured, and her skills were not as flexible as before. She failed to hold him, and Gu Zhang rolled down the steps.
“Father——” Gu Fei hurriedly ran down and helped Gu Zhang sit up, and saw that the skin on his forehead was bruised and was still bleeding.
“Father, are you okay?” Gu Fei asked while looking at Gu Zhang anxiously, wondering if he had hurt his arms or legs.
“I am okay.” Gu Zhang took a breath and slowly stood up with Gu Fei’s help.
Gu Fei took out a piece of handkerchief and put it on Gu Zhang’s forehead, turned around, and said angrily to the doorman: “Why are you so unreasonable? If you don’t want to let us, then don’t. Why are you pushing people!”
The doorman sneered: “You Country bumpkin, so what if I push you? Even if I push you to death, do you think you can sue me?”
At this time, a man who looked like a steward came out of the door and said, “What are you doing, making such a fuss?”
The doorman instantly became respectful and bent down: “Manager Liu, there are two country bumpkins here. Looking at them, you can tell they are not good people.”
Manager Liu glanced at Gu Fei and her father: “Shoo them away, don’t let people in tatters stand at the door!” After saying that, he turned around and went in.
The doorman bowed respectfully and said, “Yes.”
When the figure of Manager Liu disappeared, the doorman straightened his back in an instant, ran down in a few steps, and kicked Gu Zhang in the chest: “Get away——”
Gu Fei was horrified and quickly pulled Gu Zhang aside.
The doorman missed kicking anyone and lost his balance. He staggered forward two steps and almost fell.
Several pedestrians passing by laughed at him.
