Chapter 6 A driver is essential for going out.

Eight hundred miles south of the capital, there is a river called Huaishui.

  Huai'an City is the largest city on the Huaishui River, and it is also a must-go place for Gu Changsheng to go south.

  In front of Anping Inn, Liu Laotou bowed to his assistant: "Madam Changsheng, I am worried about the old and young at home, so I can only send you here."

  Gu Changsheng returned the greeting and motioned Xiao Cui to get the silver money: "Uncle Liu is being polite, and originally only agreed to send you here. Thanks to Uncle Liu's guidance and rest on the way, we have a much smoother journey."

  "Madam, you are too polite, it's my incompetence..."

  Liu Laotou took the silver money, which was much more than the agreed amount.

  "Madam gave it to me, saying that we will meet again if we are destined, and it can be regarded as a good relationship." Xiao Cui smiled. After

  more than half a month of getting along, Liu Laotou more or less understood Madam Changsheng's temperament, so he left with many thanks.

  After eating and drinking enough, and taking a comfortable hot bath, Gu Changsheng lay on the bed like a boneless person and sighed.

  After Xiao Cui settled the little meat bun, she saw this situation: "What's wrong with you, madam? Why are you sighing?"

  "Xiao Cui, Uncle Liu is gone. How should we go after we cross the Huai River?"

  Uncle Liu is such a nice person, honest and hardworking. Although he is a little timid, at least he has kept a lazy girl like her from getting bumped around...

  "Then what do you think, madam, should we do?" Xiao Cui put her scattered clothes in order and began to thread the needle to buy a summer dress for the young master. As time went by, the further south they went, the hotter they got. "

  Xiao Cui, look at our financial situation. Can we still make it to Liuzhou if we support one more person?"

  "Madam, you are joking. Not to mention supporting one more person, even if we support two or three more, we can still make it to Liuzhou." Xiao Cui did not even raise her head and continued with the work in her hands. They still had plenty of money on hand.

  Gu Changsheng patted the bed and made up his mind: "Okay, then we will go buy a driver tomorrow!"

  Xiao Cui was startled and sat down again. Whatever the wife said was the truth. She still remembered that when she was penniless in the capital and had to rely on pawning to make a living, the wife had a face full of bitterness and hatred.

  Yes, how could a delicate person like the wife bear such suffering?

  Gu Changsheng saw Xiao Cui's face full of pity and knew what she was thinking, right? Think about her, Gu Changsheng, who has been rich all her life. She never thought that one day she would inexplicably travel through time and live such a life! It would be

  fine if she didn't have a prominent family background, but how could she bear it without money, a house and a comfortable life?

  She wants to earn money! No matter what method she uses! She wants to earn money to buy a house, and then continue to live a lazy and wealthy life! No one can stop her. On the road to making money, she will kill gods and Buddhas!

  The next morning after breakfast, Gu Changsheng called the innkeeper over, signaled Xiao Cui with his eyes and stuffed two taels of silver. Gu Changsheng said, "Shopkeeper, we are an orphan and a widow passing through your precious place. I won't say much else. I hope you can show us the way."

  "Madam, you are being polite. If you have anything to ask, just tell me. I will definitely do it for you." The shopkeeper smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed. Although this lady seemed ordinary, she was really generous.

  "Shopkeeper, don't be nervous. I just feel that it's not safe for a woman to travel. I want to buy one or two people. I don't know if you..." Gu Changsheng drank a sip of tea and said slowly.

  "Madam, you have asked the right person. I dare not say anything else. My ancestors are all native Huai'an people, and I know the ins and outs of this place best." The shopkeeper smiled even more amiably when he heard this. The maidservant following the lady was quite delicate and well-mannered. It was obvious that she was from a wealthy family. Now that they wanted to buy someone, it was obvious that he was right not to neglect them.

  "Madam, there is a Xu woman in the east of the city. She has all the maids and boys who have passed the government. The wealthy families in Huai'an City also get people from her. She is also a real person. If you are in a hurry, I will lead you there."

  Gu Changsheng nodded. This man was really tactful and bowed: "Then I will trouble you, shopkeeper."

  "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. I am sorry for the trouble."

  Gu Changsheng took his son and followed the shopkeeper to the east of the city.

  "Mom, why are we buying someone?" The little meat bun was puzzled.

  "Drive a carriage. There's still a long way to go after crossing the Huai River. Do we have to walk?" Gu Changsheng rubbed his little bun.

  "Can't we drive the carriage ourselves?"

  "Do you drive or does Xiao Cui drive?" Gu Changsheng looked up at the sky with resentment: "Or do you want me to drive the carriage?"

  The little meat bun didn't answer...

  "Son, your mother, I can't play the piano, chess, calligraphy, or painting. I find washing clothes and cooking too tiring. I can't do such work as driving a cart that is exposed to the wind and sun..."

  Little Meat Bun: "..."

  Xiao Cui: "..."

  The east of the city was not far away. When the shopkeeper led Gu Changsheng and the others to the place, Mrs. Xu, who had received the news, was already waiting in front of the door. She bowed and saluted repeatedly, and did not forget to complain: "Shopkeeper Zhang is really a bitch. Madam, you are such a precious person. If you have any instructions, just call someone to tell me. Whatever you want, I, Mrs. Xu, will take it to you. Why bother you to make this special trip?"

  As a slick businessman, Gu Changsheng sighed in his heart, but said, "Madam, you are too kind. I came here presumptuously, hoping to pick and choose carefully. Madam, please don't bully the newcomers." What

  you took away is what you chose, but it may not be what I want.

  Mrs. Xu understood in her heart, and naturally agreed repeatedly, leading the group to the lobby to settle down.

  Gu Changsheng did not refuse and sat down at the top seat. Little Roubaozi sat next to her and Xiao Cui followed her.

  "Madam, please have a cup of tea and take a rest. What kind of person do you want? A maid or a boy? Even a guard? I have a few honest and clean men here."

  "No need to be polite, Madam. I originally wanted a coachman so that it would be convenient on the road. But since you said so, I will naturally take a look at them all. You don't have to go to pick up people in batches. As long as you have someone who is clean and has a clear path, you might as well bring them to me."

  Gu Changsheng gave a look, and Xiao Cui stepped forward smartly and stuffed five taels of silver into Madam Xu's hand: "Thank you, Madam. My wife just wants to take a closer look."

  "Oh, you are too polite, it is my duty." Mrs. Xu bowed repeatedly, knowing that this was an extra reward. Seeing that the three people were dressed modestly, but acted with great generosity, she naturally did not dare to slack off: "Please wait here for a while, I will go down and call people so that you can have a look." Before

  leaving, she did not forget to instruct the maid beside her: "Serve the lady and the young master well. If you neglect it, you will be careful."

  The little maid bowed and responded repeatedly.

  Gu Changsheng was not in a hurry. He took advantage of this gap to let the little meat bun recite the Three Character Classic.

  The little meat bun Gu Ze was very smart and recited it well.

  "He is old and still regrets too late. You, young man, should think about it early..."

  When Mrs. Xu led people here, she saw such a scene. The young and beautiful mother sat drinking tea, and the child who was not yet the age of a pig stood in front of her in a proper manner. From time to time, she put down the teacup and gave some instructions.

  He waved his hand, signaling the people who followed him to keep quiet.

  The Yan Dynasty values ​​literature, and anyone who can write and read is from a great family. If an ordinary family has one or two ordinary books, they are treated as treasures, not to mention other things.

  Gu Changsheng had noticed them a long time ago, but he did not interrupt his son's recitation. The culture of value literature is strong, and they are not dressed in conspicuous clothes, only in this way can people stop looking down on them.

  "Mammy is here, call someone in now, you go and sit down." Seeing that it was almost time, Gu Changsheng waved to Xu Pozi, and then signaled to his son.

  Little Roubaozi has always been a polite and obedient child. He bowed and said yes, then retreated to the side and sat upright, not looking sideways.

  Seeing this, Xu Pozi became more cautious. She bowed and led the people forward to salute: "Thank you for waiting for a long time. There are only a few people left in the family now. They are all here. I hope you can forgive me."

  Gu Changsheng responded and looked down. There were at least a hundred or eighty people kneeling on the ground in an orderly manner. There were children of five or six years old, girls of thirteen or fourteen years old, and strong men of thirty or forty years old. This Xu Pozi was really capable.

  After looking around, Gu Changsheng told them to stand up and asked: "Is there anyone among you who can drive a car and know the way?"

  The purpose was clear, there must be a driver!

  Everyone was also looking at them. The master chose the servants, and the servants also looked at the master. Who doesn't hope to enter a good family and suffer less torture?

  Immediately, five young men stood up. Although they were not very strong, they were acceptable. It can be seen that Xu Pozi was still kind and did not treat these people harshly.

  Gu Changsheng nodded without saying anything. Not bad, they all looked quite honest.

  "Madam, I know the way and the horses." Just as he was about to pick and choose, a voice came from behind.

  Oh, it's a girl! Gu Changsheng was startled, and looked in the direction of the voice.

  A tall and thin figure was walking forward past the crowd, holding a little girl tightly behind him...

  What's going on? Buy one get one free?
