Chapter 50: Couldn’t Be Refused

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“It’s not that big. I just won a few dozen taels, and someone wants to bet with me. Ten rounds determine the winner, and the silver doubles. I let him play a few rounds, and in the end, he turned the tables. He couldn’t afford to lose, so he got someone to secretly follow me. Last night, he planned to make a move on me, but for some reason, he didn’t make a move. This morning, I went to exchange for silver and buy things. His people followed me all the way, planning to kill me in the wilderness. In the end, I escaped.” Gu Shouxin gave a simple explanation.

He said it calmly, but Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nian automatically imagined a fierce battle.

“Dad, in the future, let’s do business to earn money. Don’t gamble. Gambling is bad,” Gu Nian advised.

“Yes, in business, we’ll provide for you in the early stages. When you’re successful later on, you’ll be our protector!” Cai Xiaolian also said.

“I’m not going. This time, it’s only for gambling debts. Don’t worry, they don’t know where I’m from,” Gu Shouxin said.

He didn’t say anything. He had killed those people directly. He was afraid that he would scare Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nian if he said anything.

“These books can be used for my candidates’ examinations and capital examinations. The books are expensive, and I didn’t buy much. I’ll copy the books myself when I’m free, so there’s no need to buy them. I’ll keep ten taels of silver here. Xiaolian, you keep the eighty taels. Since you’ll take five taels, you’ll also keep the five taels of Xiaolian from Xin Xin. When she’s completely used to the three of us, you’ll give it to her. That way, she’ll be able to accept it calmly.” Gu Shouxin distributed the silver.

“You guys aren’t used to the night, so I bought lamp oil. When the time comes, you can light as many lamps as you want. This will be useful for the New Year. There are a few sets of ready-made clothes here, and the two of you don’t know how to sew, so I didn’t buy any cloth. There are also some rice noodles and meat, which are enough for us to eat for a period of time. Since you asked for the seasoning, I also bought some. Take a look for yourself. There are things that the Zhou family town doesn’t have in Yu Zhou Prefecture.” Gu Shouxin explained one by one.

He had been 9,000 years old for many years and had forgotten that books were very expensive. He had originally planned to buy all the books for the imperial examinations, but he found that he had run out of money, so he only bought the books needed for the entrance examination next spring.

As for the rest, he planned to find the bookstore to copy a few books when he returned the money, which would be much cheaper.

Then, the three of them discussed business matters. After reaching an agreement, they packed their things and went to bed.

..

Gu Xin woke up at dawn.

She licked the corner of her mouth, feeling as if she had eaten something delicious.

After putting on her clothes, she went out to the central room and found her father practicing martial arts in the courtyard. She ran over excitedly.

“Dad! Why are you up so early? You used to sleep until late in the morning!” Gu Xin asked with a smile.

Gu Shouxin paused for a moment and then said with a smile, “Didn’t Dad say that he has to study in the future? How can a student sleep until late in the morning? Come, Xin Xin, follow Dad and have a demonstration. It will strengthen your body.”

“Okay, Dad.” Gu Xin took her stance and turned around. The ground looked exactly the same as yesterday. Oh right, she forgot to plant the seeds.

“Dad, do you think we should tidy up the vegetable field and plant some seeds later? Let’s see if the seeds will grow well overnight tomorrow?” Gu Xin thought, she needed a fair and aboveboard reason. She couldn’t plant the field secretly. She needed everyone to come together and dissolve the jade beads into the foot-washing water. Then, no one would know it was her.

“Silly girl, then how…” Gu Shouxin wanted to say that it was impossible, but seeing Gu Xin’s sparkling eyes, he couldn’t refuse, so he changed his tone. “Okay! I’ll plant it in a while.”
