Chapter 120 Greetings
Gu Mingda pays attention to being quick, accurate and ruthless when doing things. Chen Captou and Gu Mingda were already good friends, and the eldest nephew even knelt down, so of course he accepted the master-disciple status half-heartedly.
Afterwards, Gu Mingda asked Gu Yun to make up various gifts and send them to Chen Captou's home, which was regarded as an apprenticeship ceremony.
Gu Yun recognized Chen Captou as his master. With this name, other agents in the Yamen did not dare to bully him.
Gu Mingda didn't take the money from Dafang in vain. He personally invited people from the yamen to have a drink at Desheng Tower.
"You should be more diligent with your hands and feet. If you have nothing to do on weekdays, go to your master's house to help with the work. Remember?" Gu Mingda warned.
Gu Yun nodded vigorously.
Gu Yun didn't realize the effect of Gu Mingda's arrangements at first. When he officially joined the job, he compared it with other Yamen Zhuangbans in the same situation. They were all temporary workers, and he was hardly treated unfairly.
The yamen is a place where people watch what they do, and many of the old detectives are old-timers, who bully the weak and fear the strong.
"Gu Yun, your life is better. Your second uncle has arranged everything for you." Hu San'er said.
Hu San'er even entered the Yamen earlier than Gu Yun. His family spent a lot of effort to find talents to send him in. The acquaintance in the Yamen did not plan anything like Gu Mingda did for him.
According to Hu San'er's words: "I thought I would be yelled at when I entered the Yamen, but I didn't expect to be yelled at by others."
Hu San'er had to take a break even to complain. He just said a few words to Gu Yun, and an old policeman came over and scolded: "Hu San'er, the boss over there is asking someone to move things, you lazy guy , are you deaf?”
Laoyoutiao was much more polite when facing Gu Yun and said, "Ayun, your master is calling you."
Even a title can distinguish between closeness and distance.
Gu Yun, a country boy, could feel the suffocation and depression just by pretending to be Hu San'er.
Zhang Yuniang clearly noticed that Gu Yun became more diligent after working in the yamen for a few days.
Gu Yun is not a lazy guy. He is usually given some heavy work at home, and he can also be busy, but like most men, he has no life in his eyes.
After having Hu San'er as a comparison, Gu Yun became more determined to hug Gu Mingda's lap. He got up before dawn, helped the Gu family cook braised food, and rushed to do the hard work at home. In the past, Gu Mingda had to do He did all the work on his behalf, so to speak, so as not to delay his second uncle's studies.
"After Ayun entered the Yamen, he seemed to be a different person. His master still taught him well." Zhang Yunniang sighed to Gu Mingda in private.
Gu Mingda said: "It's because of your good teaching. If it were another aunt, she would definitely not let him live at home."
Zhang Yunniang chuckled lightly and said, "It's not like he didn't give me any money. He's just a young man. It's just a matter of cooking more rice."
Neither Gu Mingda nor Mrs. Gu were used to Gu Yun. Although Gu Yun lived together, the rent and food money they should pay were not short. Zhang Yunniang originally wanted to do the laundry for her, but she was stopped by the mother and son. .
"He comes back so early from the Yamen every day, and there is no time to wash clothes." Mrs. Gu said.
Mrs. Gu understands people's hearts well. After separation, we are just relatives. Naturally, many things cannot be taken for granted as before. We must have the consciousness of being guests when we are guests, so that the relationship between relatives can last long.
It had only been three days since Gu Yun entered the Yamen, and the Gu family felt as if he had been completely transformed.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk."
Hearing the knock on the door, Gu Yun immediately put down his bowls and chopsticks and ran out like a monkey, saying, "I'll open the door!"
Mrs. Gu muttered: "Why is there someone here so early in the morning?"
Niu Niu tilted her head and glanced at the peach tree in the yard and said, "The magpie's chirping may mean something good."
Old Mrs. Gu is old and likes to hear auspicious words the most: "Oh, our good baby still knows how to talk. You must be right when you say so!" Gu Zhao muttered beside him: "The magpie's chirping may mean he is hungry. Looking for bugs everywhere.”
Mrs. Gu wanted to press her little grandson's stupid face into the bowl and said, "Eat yours. If you can't speak, don't speak."
Gu Zhao drank up the bowl of porridge like a pig purring, then handed it to Mrs. Gu with a swipe of his mouth: "Milk, come again!"
After Mrs. Gu muttered, "A half-grown man eats a poor man," she gave him another full bowl angrily.
Niuniu on the side finished the bowl of porridge obediently, then put the bowl and chopsticks on the stove, and then said in a sweet voice: "Milk, I'm full."
Mrs. Gu pulled the child over and asked, "I'm really full. Do you want some more?"
Niuniu shook her head.
Mrs. Gu reached out and touched the little girl's bulging belly. She couldn't hold it back anymore and knocked on it. Then she looked into Niu Niu's doubtful eyes, coughed lightly and explained: "Grandma just checked whether the good baby is really good." After eating, okay, let’s go play in the yard.”
Niuniu cheered and ran out briskly.
Mrs. Gu shouted from behind: "I just finished eating. Run slower! Stop being angry!"
As soon as she turned her head, Gu Zhao almost threw the bowl in her face.
"Milk, I'm not full, I still want more." Gu Zhao said.
Mrs. Gu was almost frightened by him and said, "Why do you have such a big appetite recently? You can't get enough of anything!"
Gu Zhaoke didn't understand the good words, so he said with a smile: "What else could be the reason? It must be because I am growing taller. You are the boss, how come you don't understand this?"
Mrs. Gu was angry with him again! Seeing the disgusting look of her little grandson, the old lady secretly decided to leave all the hidden treasure snacks to Niu Niu.
Gu Yun came back again, picked up the bowl and chopsticks and continued eating.
Mrs. Gu tapped the bowl gently.
Gu Yun glanced at her in surprise and said, "Nai, you told me before that it was impolite to knock the bowl while eating and you would be beaten."
Mrs. Gu was once again filled with worry as she looked at her two grandsons, each one more irritating than the other.
Seeing that Gu Yun continued to work hard, not understanding the hint at all, Mrs. Gu could only take the initiative to ask: "Who's knocking on the door?"
Gu Yun then said: "The man called himself Butler Hu and sent a greeting note. He said he was visiting our house in the morning and wanted to come to express our gratitude. It was the home of the two children we rescued that night."
Mrs. Gu curled her lips and said, "Why did you go there earlier? It's been several days and I just remembered to say thank you."
Gu Yun replied casually: "I told you that when the elder of the family heard that his grandson was missing, he fainted from anxiety. He was ill for several days before he had the strength to get out of bed."
Only then did Mrs. Gu put down her dissatisfaction and asked again: "Where is the greeting card? Let me see."
Gu Yun looked at her in surprise and said, "Nai, you can't read, why are you looking at that thing? Of course I'll give it to my second uncle."
As if he was remembering something again, he said: "Mistress, I heard someone say in the Yamen, it seems that these two children's family is very important, and there is someone who is a high official in the capital."
When Mrs. Gu heard this, she immediately jumped up anxiously. She couldn't help but reached out and hit Gu Yun on the shoulder: "Why didn't you tell me about such an important thing earlier? The house is in a mess, how can I see anyone soon!"
