Chapter 484

Gu Yuwei's grandfather is a well-known local geomantic omen gentleman, who especially knows the art of Xiangshu.

As a child, Gu Yuwei heard from her grandfather that she looked like her grandfather's mother, Gu Yuwei's great grandmother.

Grandfather said that every time Gu Yuwei went back home with her parents for the new year, her great grandmother was the happiest! Always holding Gu Yuwei. The only child in the family who looks most like her gives great grandmother hope!

When Gu Yuwei was two years old, her great grandmother died. At that time, Gu Yuwei was too young, so now she has no memory of her great grandmother.

Although Gu Yuwei looks like her great grandmother, her character is quite different from her.

Gu Yuwei was an introverted and gentle child when she was a child, while her great grandmother was a passionate and straightforward one.

Grandfather said that great grandmother Liu Zaohua is a legendary figure.

She was born in a big landlord family surnamed Liu. How many women envied her "three inch Golden Lotus" feet! In that age when little feet were beautiful, great grandmother was the most beautiful woman. What's more, my great grandmother was really beautiful, and she was a daughter of the landlord family. She had been in a private school, could recite poems and do mental arithmetic. She was a talented woman for tens of kilometers.

Although she has a pair of small feet, she is very popular when she walks.

In the 1930s and 1940s, Gu's family opened a bamboo and wood shop on the Bank of the Longjiang river. Gu Yuwei's great grandfather often went to lengshuiling to buy bamboo and wood, and then hired a platoon worker to put them down. His great grandmother was in charge of selling them.

In those days, the houses were built with wood, and the bamboo and wood businesses of the two families had a very good business. People who live dozens of miles around buy wood in the bamboo and wood shop where they are looking after their families.

My grandfather said that once a businessman wanted to buy wood. He selected six big logs. My great grandmother looked at the four meter long tree and said to the businessman that the tree was three square meters (3.2 cubic meters). The businessman didn't believe it. I had to use a ruler to measure it, and then I used the abacus on the table to calculate it again. I didn't expect that it was really three sides and two sides!

What a surprise to the businessman! I can't see a woman with such eyesight and mental calculation ability! It's too awesome!

Unexpectedly, she went to another tree, made a circle and said, "this one is two sides and three sides." then she pointed to another one and said, "that one is eight sides.". In his surprise, the merchant measured them one by one with a ruler and calculated them with an abacus. As a result, the amount calculated is the same as that of great grandmother!

The merchant finally had to admire her! He said that he had been in business for so many years, and for the first time he met such a woman with insight and mental arithmetic ability! What a wonderful person!

From then on, the merchant bought all the wood in Gu's bamboo and wood shop. Gu Yuwei's great grandmother made the business bigger and bigger!

Grandfather also said that great grandmother's mental arithmetic has its own set of methods. The uneven joint of her left hand is an abacus, and the convex joint is a decimal. This is the exclusive invention of great grandmother.

In the whole family, it may be cousin Ding Huaming who inherited the gene of great grandmother's shrewdness and resourcefulness.

Ding Huaming has been good at math since he was a child, and he is very fast at oral arithmetic. The teacher said that Ding Huaming is a child prodigy and always won the Olympic mathematics competition. Although Gu Yuwei looks similar to her great grandmother, she is not as smart and capable as her great grandmother.

Grandfather once carefully showed Gu Yuwei Xiangshu, and then said to his son Gu Lihong, "your daughter looks cowardly, but she has the confidence of your grandmother in her heart. In the future, she will be the biggest official in our family history. She may be the third grade official, but it's a pity that her marriage is tangled."

At that time, Gu Yuwei's father did not take it seriously.

He thought in his heart that his daughter's character is not like an official. She has been cowardly since childhood. How can she manage people? Leaders should be bold and able to make a living. Besides, Yuwei is a girl. How old can a girl be?

If Gu Yuwei becomes a leader, it's not a matter of smoke from her ancestral grave? Is Lao Zi's family so blessed?

Gu Lihong has never thought of such a thing.

Their family has gone through a huge ups and downs. In the land reform movement of new China, all the property of their family was divided up, and the land was also divided up. Gu Yuwei's grandfather couldn't sleep until he died, because his family property was not rehabilitated.

At night, it was so quiet that Gu Yuwei didn't feel sleepy. She kept recalling these childhood memories in her mind.

Grandfather said that sentence, still reverberated in her ears, I can official to the third grade? In fact, it was an accident to take the official road.

She didn't care to be a leader, but under the promotion of Li Qing, she came to this step.

She asked herself how old the third grade official was and whether the king of Zhao was a third grade official? She didn't know what level the ancient Sanpin should correspond to now? However, she embarked on the official career, but had such an obscure combination with the king of Zhao, which made her a man's "Canary" now. I don't know if her grandfather counted that?

Gu Yuwei has been to her hometown many times.

I remember that it was Tomb Sweeping Day. My father took Gu Yuwei to the village to see the old house. He pointed to the upper, middle and lower houses and said, this is our old house. At that time, it was the most spectacular building in this rural area, and the only house with three lapels in a radius of tens of kilometers. During the land reform, they were assigned to more than 20 poor and lower middle peasants, but their families were forced to live outside in huts.Gujiazhuang is not big. There are more than 100 families. In my father's childhood memory, the village is a very beautiful water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

He told Gu Yuwei that in the past, the village was surrounded by water and clear ponds www.novelhall.com , the fastest update of the webnovel!
