After talking nonsense with Lord Gong, Chen Guanlou continued to inspect the prison.
He came to the prison door of Gu Shanhe.
Lord Gu lived a very comfortable life. His richest father-in-law was very kind to him, and his wife was thinking about him wholeheartedly, waiting for him to be released from prison and make a comeback.
There were beds, quilts, small tables, small chairs, sets of books, and new cotton clothes made of fine cotton cloth produced in the south, which were warm and decent to wear.
The things in the cell were naturally bought by the richest father-in-law, and the price was more than ten times more expensive than outside.
He was not short of money, and he agreed to the ten-fold premium without any hesitation.
Such a customer was indeed a top-quality customer.
Every time Chen Guanlou saw Gu Shanhe, he had a smiling face.
Of course, a high-quality customer was qualified to have his sincere smile. Tens of thousands of taels of real gold and silver could not be faked.
"The weather suddenly cooled down. Sir Gu, I hope you are not cold."
"Thank you, Chen Yucheng, for your concern. Everything is fine!" Gu Shanhe was very polite. He did not act arrogant just because his father-in-law, the richest man, had arranged everything for him. Instead, he was polite and saluted as soon as he stood up.
This guy...
Chen Guanlou couldn't help but think about it. Either he was a gentleman who treated people with sincerity. Or he was a treacherous and evil person.
He had met many people, and he rarely misjudged them.
When facing the surname Gu, he was always very sure, but he overturned his judgment every time. For a while, he was not sure whether he was a gentleman or a hidden treacherous person?
How can a person be without any shortcomings and without any bad qualities as a human being?
If it was an act, who could be addicted to acting in the Tianlao?
When a saint comes, he must have a temper.
"I heard that Sir Gu had passed the imperial examination when he married your wife?"
Since he had passed the imperial examination, he had more choices. He could choose a girl from an official family as his wife, which is the standard choice for secular people.
"Exactly!" Gu Shanhe has regular features and a tall figure. He can definitely attract the attention of young girls and wives when he goes out. He is a high-quality son-in-law.
There are so many choices, but he chose the daughter of a businessman, and after he passed the imperial examination...
"I heard that the ancestors of the Gu family were also rich."
"It was all many years ago, not worth mentioning. The Gu family has long been in decline by my generation. We can only barely support ourselves by guarding dozens of acres of land. If it weren't for my father-in-law and my wife, my Gu family would have gone bankrupt to support my studies."
"Master Gu is joking. If you pass the imperial examination, you can be exempted from military service, and things will only get better and better. How can you go bankrupt?"
"With a large population, eating is a problem." Gu Shanhe laughed at himself.
This is true.
Gu Shanhe has seven or eight brothers and sisters in total. Getting married, having children, and adding more children are all good things. However, there was only so much land, and the annual output was fixed. As the family population increased, life became more and more difficult.
It was also because of the poverty that the brothers wanted to split up. Once the family was split up, Gu Shanhe, who had not yet passed the examination for a scholar, had a problem studying. He was studying full-time, and relying on his parents' labor to support him was simply not enough. He had no choice but to borrow money.
Fortunately, he had good luck in the exam. He passed the examination for a student on his first try, and then successfully passed the examination for a scholar, and the family's financial situation improved.
With a handsome face, sincere words and deeds, and fame, he was fortunately favored by the daughter of the richest man. After the engagement, the richest father-in-law began to help his in-laws. By the time of the wedding, the Gu family had become a local tycoon with the help of the richest father-in-law.
The richest father-in-law was the main contributor to the Gu family's success today.
When he went to prison, the richest father-in-law didn't even blink, and threw out tens of thousands of taels just to get his son-in-law. He had to continue spending money later, and he didn't complain at all.
Chen Guanlou was really curious. What charm did Gu Shanhe have that could make the richest father-in-law open up to him? Even his own parents couldn't be so considerate.
At present, this guy is very polite and always polite. He speaks sincerely and his smile is contagious...
A real gentleman?
"Master Gu must be very harmonious with his family."
"Chen Yucheng is joking. There are times when the upper and lower teeth knock against each other. It is inevitable that there will be quarrels when a family gets along."
When Gu Shanhe smiled, it seemed that there was a whole starry sky in his eyes, commonly known as: there is light in his eyes!
When the light flashed, Chen Guanlou suddenly realized something.
This guy is really sincere, but it depends on the person.
When the other party talked about his family, the light was not brilliant, but a little gloomy. The other party is not without temper, but he just hasn't met someone who provokes his temper.
It seems that there is a deep conflict between Gu Shanhe and his brothers and sisters at home.
This time he saw that the surname Gu was a person who was soft-spoken but sharp. It's not that there is no edge, but that all the edges are hidden. You can't feel it without in-depth contact.
After seeing the right person, Chen Guanlou casually said, "Your father-in-law and your wife are really good to you, from the bottom of their hearts. Don't let them down! Life is long, and it's not easy to meet a few people who treat you sincerely. Even if you ask for something, you should give it first, instead of asking for it as soon as you open your mouth."
Gu Shanhe raised his eyebrows slightly, "Thank you, Chen Yucheng, for reminding me. I have always kept my father-in-law's kindness in my heart."
"You are not sincere, although you seem sincere."
Chen Guanlou nodded again.
Gu Shanhe frowned slightly, "Chen Yucheng is worried that I will become successful in the future and abandon my wife and children, repaying kindness with enmity?"
"Will you?" Chen Guanlou asked the other party, "Your wife is the daughter of a merchant, and she became an official wife because of you. Do you dislike her?"
"No way! Chen Yuucheng has misunderstood me. Please don't judge a gentleman with a villain's heart."
Chen Guanlou clicked his tongue twice, "You have to remember that your ability to get out of prison was all due to your father-in-law's ability to make money. If he hadn't been willing to spend money, you would have lost your arms and legs now, and your life was hanging by a thread, let alone your recovery. After such a rapid rise, you are not even qualified to be an official, and you can only be carried out of the imperial edict sideways. "
To be an official, the first prerequisite is to have good facial features, good health and no disability.
A disabled person cannot be an official.
Except Pingjiang Hou.
If he had the family background of Pingjiang Marquis, he would not have been sent to prison to have his arms and legs broken.
Decent!
Even if he is imprisoned, a person with the status of Marquis Pingjiang must be treated with dignity by Jinyiwei.
The emperor didn't say anything, and the imperial guards didn't dare to execute him!
"I will keep Chen Yuucheng's words in mind. I know better than anyone else what I owe to where I am today. I am not so arrogant as to deny everything to others. Secondly, I think I have a decent appearance, and I don't have a face that would make me abandon my wife. Abandoned, ungrateful face. Chen Yuucheng misunderstood me so much that I really don’t understand.”
Gu Shanhe sincerely asked for advice.
Chen Guanlou thought for a while and said: "Since your case was committed and you were imprisoned, I haven't seen a Gu family member. From the beginning to the end, your father-in-law and his family have been taking care of you, running up and down. You Gu family members seem to be invisible. Like. Even if you don't have the ability or money, just show up to the supervisor. They are all born from the same mother. No matter how big the gap is between brothers and sisters, they still have some similarities. "
Hearing this, Gu Shanhe smiled bitterly, "The Gu family's roots are not bad, but they are a little selfish. They really have no intention of harming others. If I get into trouble and go to jail, they are afraid of being implicated, so they naturally want to hide."
"Zhu Jiu Clan and they can't escape."
"Who says it's not the case! It's a pity that some people have stupid heads..."
