Chapter 181 Wisdom of Life

 Gu Mingda listened to Brother Shen's cry and couldn't help but think in his heart that if a family really waited for an unreliable person like Brother Shen to come to save it, it would probably be doomed.

Gu Mingda asked a lot: "Are you sure you want to go back to the capital?"

When Brother Shen heard this, he suddenly looked surprised: "Uncle Gu, why are you asking this? I've already boarded the boat, do I have to get off the boat at the next pier? After all, I finally got rid of the servants..."

"Did your parents urge you to leave Beijing?" Gu Mingda asked.

When Brother Shen heard this, he said: "I want to go to Linzhou to play. My father doesn't care, but my mother doesn't want me to leave the capital. It was my repeated requests that made my mother reluctantly allow me to come out to play."

When Gu Mingda heard what Brother Shen said, he was sure that this guy was not sent out of Beijing by his family just to avoid trouble.

"But I do miss my parents a little. No matter how fun it is outside, it is not home after all." Brother Shen said with emotion.

Gu Mingda asked Niuniu to give the pills to Zhang Yuniang who was lying in the back room. After sending her daughter away, Gu Mingda talked a lot with Brother Shen.

Brother Shen seemed a little wary of outsiders, but this wariness could not withstand the old fox's few words.

As soon as Niuniu came in and out, Gu Mingda had already used clichés to outline the image of a young man who had nothing to do. He had no goals and no desire to make progress. The most important thing all day long was to have fun. This mindless look did not look like it. What a bad guy.

Brother Shen almost revealed his identity several times. If he met someone who was interested, he would probably be able to detect his true identity from his flaws. However, Gu Mingda only wanted to make sure that he was harmless and did not dig into his identity.

Gu Mingda guessed that Brother Shen's seasickness medicine should have been made by an imperial physician, and the status of someone who could ask an imperial physician to prescribe medicine would not be too low.

"Uncle Gu, I have a heartfelt request." Brother Shen said calmly.

Gu Mingda raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Do you want to borrow money?"

Gu Mingda was already ready to lend him money. Brother Shen had previously blocked the old Taoist priest for them on the dock. This was a good intention. Although it is not yet known whether the old Taoist priest is a friend or an enemy, Gu Mingda still led Shen Brother's love.

Brother Shen had tears in his eyes: "It's not a loan, but Uncle Gu, are you really willing to lend me money? We've never met each other. I didn't expect you to trust me so much."

Gu Mingda nodded.

Brother Shen couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. After all, there was water in what he just said and he deliberately concealed his origin. He felt that he was not being honest.

"I don't want to borrow money...I...can I go to Beijing with you? I can work! Help you take care of your children and move things! As long as you can let me arrive in Beijing safely, I will thank you very much! One hundred taels Silver, no, one hundred taels of gold, okay?"

Brother Shen put forward this request, and he was willing to go all out. If he really encountered someone who was not careful, he might actually use him as a boss.

But Brother Shen had to do this. After all, this boat was a mixed bag, and he was afraid that he would not be able to keep the money he borrowed. After staying in the lower cabin for a day and a night, he finally understood that when he was alone, it was sometimes more valuable to take care of people than to bring money. important.

He obviously bought the bed, but because of the large number of people there, he just grabbed it.

While he was away from home, he felt that he had to take advantage of the situation. If he stayed with this family, he would at least be guaranteed to have enough to eat.

Before Gu Mingda could reply, Niuniu suddenly rushed out of the room excitedly and said excitedly to Gu Mingda: "Dad, Mom took the medicine. I waited for a while, and Mom said she was much better! It's really a miracle medicine!"

When Brother Shen heard this, he immediately said proudly: "Of course this medicine is useful. This is a secret recipe passed down from the old doctor's family. Ordinary people would not help prepare it!"

When Niuniu heard this, she walked up to Brother Shen and gave a solemn salute.

"Brother Shen, thank you so much! Niu Niu will pay you the price of the medicine!" Niu Niu said and started to take out the money in her wallet.

But Brother Shen waved his hand and said: "It's just a few pills, how can I still accept your money? Take it back quickly!" Niu Niu sighed after hearing this and said: "Brother doesn't accept the money, I don't even know how to do it. How can I thank you enough."

Gu Mingda watched the two people arguing and suddenly got an idea and said: "Brother Shen, let's help you pay for a superior room. There happens to be a vacant room next door. The superior room comes with three meals a day. That's it. How about thanking you for relieving my wife’s seasickness?”

This arrangement can solve Brother Shen's predicament, but Gu Mingda's losses are relatively large, after all, he actually took out the money.

Brother Shen looked surprised: "A superior room with food and accommodation included? Are you serious?"

After experiencing the pain of hunger, it is very important for Brother Shen to be able to eat enough.

Gu Mingda chuckled and nodded.

Brother Shen said with emotion: "If I hadn't listened to the old Taoist priest and said that I wanted to go to Beijing like an ordinary person, I wouldn't have bought a Datong bunk to sleep in. If I had just rented a high-class room, even if I lost my wallet, I wouldn't be able to sleep in it." As for being hungry.”

"Uncle Gu, help me pay the money first, and I will pay you back when we get to the capital!"

Gu Mingda said: "Why do you have to be so polite about this little thing? If you really have to pay for it, wouldn't I also have to pay for your medicine?"

After hearing this, Brother Shen didn't dwell on the matter anymore, but secretly decided that when he got to the capital, he would repay this family well.

Gu Mingda added: "The ship docks in Tongzhou. Then you can just follow our carriage to Beijing and we will take you home."

Gu Mingda said this to arrange the last mile of Brother Shen's return to the capital.

Brother Shen is very grateful.

Soon, Gu Mingda found the steward on the ship and rented the room next door.

Brother Shen finally no longer has to smell other people's foot odor and sour sweat, and the ordinary and simple room has become extremely comfortable in his eyes.

"There is actually a door lock. If I close the door inside, no one else can come in. I can also lock the door when I go out, so others won't steal my things!"

Brother Shen is surprised by everything he sees.

He has always been surrounded by servants when he travels. He rarely needs to worry about locking the door and guarding against theft. He has almost zero life experience. This time he suffered a lot. If the door is not locked at night, he may not be able to sleep peacefully.

Gu Mingda looked at him and suddenly felt something was wrong: "Where is your luggage? Didn't you even pack your luggage? Didn't you even wash and change clothes?"

When Brother Shen heard him ask about this, a mask of pain instantly appeared on his face: "I...I ran onto the ship with a servant on my back. They didn't pack my luggage for me, and I didn't know what to bring..."

Gu Mingda didn't know what to say for a moment, but at least the other person's otherworldly look proved that he was really a young man from a wealthy family.

Niu Niu on the side tilted her head, as if imparting wisdom on life, and said: "Brother, don't you know how to pack your luggage? Niu Niu can teach you to pack different luggage according to the length of time you go out. If the time is long, only bring one or two pieces of luggage. clothing…"

Listening to the little girl's soft voice, Brother Shen was so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.

Gu Mingda originally wanted to stop Niuniu from continuing to speak, lest Brother Shen feel uncomfortable.

Unexpectedly, after the initial discomfort passed, Brother Shen behaved very humbly. He knelt down and looked at Niu Niu at eye level and said, "I'll remember it. If I run away with my servants on my back in the future, I'll know how to pack my luggage." ”
