Old Man Gu is also very easy to talk to.
Gu Changle opened his mouth and he agreed without saying a word.
As for how much money he had, he didn't say, so Su Yu was embarrassed to ask.
Seeing that Old Man Gu was so straightforward and that Gu Changle had been helping, Su Yu said seriously: "Don't worry."
"When the bookstore makes money, I will return the money to grandpa as soon as possible."
"Moreover, the interest will be included in the calculation, so grandpa will not lose money."
Su Yu was suddenly so solemn, and Old Man Gu was a little embarrassed.
"There's no need to be so stressed," he laughed.
"Grandpa's money belongs to Changle."
"If Changle is willing to give it to you, then I'll give it to you."
“It doesn’t matter if you make money or lose money.”
"However, you are a scholar, how can you buy a shop and start a business?"
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, the hierarchy is obvious.
Su Yu is now a farmer, studying for imperial exams or farming. It is okay to do small handicrafts and sell them.
But buying a shop and doing business is not allowed.
In this case, you must transfer your business registration.
The original rule of the Zhou Dynasty was that merchants, including their descendants, were not allowed to participate in the imperial examination and become officials.
But now, this policy has been relaxed a lot.
Many businessmen's children were able to take part in the imperial examination.
However, it is still not allowed for farmers to do business that can only be done by merchants.
Once found out, it would be a crime against the imperial law.
When Old Man Gu mentioned this, Su Yu remembered that he had ignored this matter.
He pondered: "This is indeed a difficult task."
"But I heard that you can buy a servant back and put the shop under the servant's name."
I don't have enough money to begin with, so I need to buy another servant.
Su Yu felt that he had gone back to before time travel overnight and became a pauper again.
Gu Changle also forgot about this.
Seeing Su Yu's expression of embarrassment, he thought for a moment and said, "Then... how about putting the shop under Li Erlang's name first?"
"The Uncle Fu family has many sons, and it is impossible for all of them to go to school and become officials."
"Let Li Erlang transfer his business registration and put the shop under his name."
"Anyway, the imperial decree that businessmen cannot take part in the imperial examination is becoming more and more relaxed. Once you make money, you can donate to a false position such as a foreign minister, which will not have an impact on future generations."
I have to say that Gu Changle is indeed different from the girls in Su Yu Village.
All of a sudden, a solution was given.
But Su Yu was a little worried: "Uncle Fu, will they disagree?"
Old Man Gu smiled and said, "Old man, I'll just say it myself. I have nothing to disagree with."
"Didn't you say that you will definitely make money?"
"Let's write a contract, and if we make money, we can donate it to Li Erlang as a member of staff."
"They are the ones who should be happy because they got an official position for no reason."
Say so.
But if you want to donate an official position, it's definitely out of the question if you don't have ten thousand or a thousand taels.
This is too long ago.
Su Yu now doesn't even have enough money to buy a shop, and he doesn't know if Uncle Fu will eat such painted cakes.
But Old Man Gu was so true to his word that Su Yu could only express his sincere thanks.
"Then it's my fault, grandpa."
He clenched his fist and said movedly: "Grandpa, you are so kind to me. I will definitely be filial to you in the future."
"Don't worry, I know a lot of things and I can definitely make you live a good life!"
Gu Changle nodded and said trustingly: "Yeah, I believe you."
Old Man Gu glanced at Gu Changle with a smile and said, "Let's eat first."
"The dishes are getting cold."
The three of them finished their dinner happily.
Hongying took the time to come over, helped clear the table, fetched water for Gu Changle to take a bath again, and waited on her until she finished washing before returning to the house next door.
Su Yu washed it in another place.
After washing, I sat outside the room to dry my hair.
After Gu Changle also finished washing, he sat next to him.
The two of them dried their hair together in the gentle evening breeze.
Su Yu took her hand and sighed: "Changle, you are so kind to me."
"I will treat you well in the future."
Gu Changle's hand was held and he turned to look at Su Yu.
The sun has just set, and there is still a little shadow shining on the earth.
Su Yu's eyes looked particularly affectionate in this soft dusk.
Gu Changle's face was slightly heated as he said, "I just helped to say a few words to Grandpa."
"Nothing."
"By the way, you will have to change into a new robe when you go to school tomorrow."
"I bought two new pairs today. You can go and try them to see if they fit you."
Military uniforms need to be tailor-made to be comfortable.
But it doesn't matter if the robe is bigger.
When Gu Changle was buying cloth today, he bought two pairs of similar sizes.
Thinking that Su Yu could wear it when walking in Fucheng.
When he was in the village before, Su Yu never saw Gu Changle touch needle and thread.
It's enough to show that she shouldn't be good at this either.
But she can still think of these things, which shows that she really cares about Su Yu.
Su Yu followed her into the house and tried on two newly bought robes.
These are all good materials, probably not cheap.
One set is a bit too big, and the other is a bit tight.
As soon as the suit was tight on his upper body, Gu Changle stared.
"You seem to have gained some weight?"
Su Yu touched his chest muscles and took her hand to touch them.
"Have you gained weight?"
"Well...it's hard." Gu Changle replied slowly.
The chest under the palm was firm, the warmth of the skin spread through the thin clothes to the palm of the hand, and the heart was beating vigorously.
Su Yu said with some satisfaction: "Yes, these are muscles."
"I have been exercising during this period, and it seems to have some effects."
"If you continue to persist in the future, it will be better."
Gu Changle took back his hand, his eyes a little wandering.
"It turns out those strange movements you do before practicing calligraphy every day are really useful."
"But these clothes..."
She looked back: "Is it too small?"
Su Yu raised his hand and said, "It's okay."
"It doesn't hinder movement and can be worn for a while."
"But after a while, it will probably get worse."
"Why don't you take this one and return it, and I can wear the one that's a little too big first?"
"If it's tied with a belt, there won't be any problem."
After a while, Su Yu's figure will definitely become stronger, and the larger one will be just in use.
Gu Changle was a little embarrassed.
The first time I bought clothes for Su Yu, the ones I bought didn't fit.
Su Yu was very happy, holding her hand and praising her a few more times.
"Thank you madam, I like it very much."
Gu Changle accepted his compliment with some guilt.
Fortunately, I didn't buy the military uniform directly, but bought the cloth directly to have it made to measure.
Gu Changle thought to himself, not only the military uniforms, but he also had to take Hongying out tomorrow to buy more cloth and make some other clothes for Su Yu.
...
The next day.
After breakfast, Su Yu wore Gu Changle's newly bought clothes and went out to attend the school.
Gu Changle went back to the room, took out the tight robe and gestured with it.
Hongying came over to wait for instructions. When she opened the door and walked in, she saw her young lady mumbling to herself.
"The size is wrong, but you still like me..."
"No! I have to make a suitable suit for my husband with my own hands."
