Chapter 181 Life Wisdom

As Gu Mingda listened to Brother Shen's cry, he couldn't help but think that if a family really waited for an unreliable person like Brother Shen to come to save them, it would probably be doomed.

Gu Mingda asked a lot: "Are you sure you want to go back to the capital?"

When Brother Shen heard this, he suddenly looked surprised: "Uncle Gu, why are you asking this? I've already boarded the boat, do I have to get off the boat at the next pier? After all, I finally got rid of the servants..."

"Did your parents urge you to leave Beijing?" Gu Mingda asked.

When Brother Shen heard this, he said: "I want to go to Linzhou to play. My father doesn't care, but my mother doesn't want me to leave the capital. It was my repeated requests that made my mother reluctantly allow me to come out to play."

When Gu Mingda heard what Brother Shen said, he was sure that this guy was not sent out of Beijing by his family just to avoid trouble.

"But I do miss my parents a little. No matter how fun it is outside, it is not home after all." Brother Shen said with emotion.

Gu Mingda asked Niuniu to give the pills to Zhang Yuniang who was lying in the back room. After sending her daughter away, Gu Mingda talked a lot with Brother Shen.

Brother Shen seemed a little wary of outsiders, but this wariness could not withstand the old fox's few words.

As soon as Niuniu came in and out, Gu Mingda had already used clichés to outline the image of a young man with nothing to do. He had no goals and no desire to make progress. The most important thing all day long was to have fun. This mindless look really didn't look like it. What a bad guy.

Brother Shen almost revealed his identity several times. If he met someone who was interested, he would probably be able to detect his true identity from his flaws. However, Gu Mingda only wanted to make sure that he was harmless and did not dig into his identity.

Gu Mingda guessed that Brother Shen's seasickness medicine should have been made by an imperial physician, and the status of someone who could ask an imperial physician to prescribe medicine would not be too low.

"Uncle Gu, I have a heartfelt request." Brother Shen said calmly.

Gu Mingda raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Do you want to borrow money?"

Gu Mingda was already ready to lend him money. Brother Shen had previously blocked the old Taoist priest for them on the dock. This was a good intention. Although it is not yet known whether the old Taoist priest is a friend or foe, Gu Mingda still accepted Brother Shen's affection. .

Brother Shen had tears in his eyes: "It's not a loan, but Uncle Gu, are you really willing to lend me money? We've never met each other. I didn't expect you to trust me so much."

Gu Mingda nodded.

Brother Shen couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. After all, there was water in what he just said and he deliberately concealed his origin. He felt that he was not being honest.

"I don't want to borrow money...I...can I come to Beijing with you? I can work! Help you take care of your children and move things! As long as you can let me arrive in Beijing safely, I will thank you very much!" One hundred taels of silver, no, one hundred taels of gold!"

Brother Shen put forward this request, and he was willing to go all out. If he really encountered someone who was not careful, he might actually use him as a boss.

But Brother Shen had to do this. After all, this boat was a mixed bag, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to keep the money he borrowed. After staying in the lower cabin for a day and a night, he finally understood that when he was alone, it was sometimes more important to take care of people than money.

He obviously bought the bed, but because of the large number of people there, he just grabbed it.

While he was away from home, he felt that he had to take advantage of the situation. If he stayed with this family, he would at least be guaranteed to have enough to eat.

Before Gu Mingda could reply, Niu Niu suddenly rushed out of the room excitedly and said excitedly to Gu Mingda: "Dad, Mom took the medicine. I waited for a while, and Mom said she was much better! It's really a miracle medicine!"

When Brother Shen heard this, he immediately said proudly: "Of course this medicine is useful. This is a secret recipe passed down from the old doctor's family. Ordinary people would not help prepare it!"

When Niuniu heard this, she walked up to Brother Shen and gave a solemn salute.

"Brother Shen, thank you so much! Niu Niu will pay you the price of the medicine!" Niu Niu said and started to take out the money in her pocket.

But Brother Shen waved his hand and said: "It's just a few pills, how can I still collect your money? Take it back quickly!"

Niu Niu sighed after hearing this and said, "Brother, if you don't accept the money, I don't even know how to thank you."

Gu Mingda watched the two people arguing and suddenly got an idea and said: "Brother Shen, let's help you pay for a superior room. There happens to be an empty room next door. The superior room comes with three meals a day. Take it as a gift. Thank you for relieving my wife’s seasickness. ”

This arrangement can solve Brother Shen's dilemma, but Gu Mingda's losses are relatively large, after all, he actually took out the money.

Brother Shen looked surprised: "A superior room with food and accommodation included? Are you serious?"

After experiencing the pain of hunger, it is very important for Brother Shen to be able to eat enough.

Gu Mingda chuckled and nodded.

Brother Shen said with emotion: "If I hadn't listened to the old Taoist priest and said that I wanted to go to Beijing like ordinary people, I wouldn't have bought a Datong bunk to sleep in. If I had just rented a high-class room, even if I lost my wallet, I wouldn't be hungry. abdomen."

"Uncle Gu, help me pay the money first, and I will pay you back when we get to the capital!"

Gu Mingda said: "Why should you be so polite about this little thing? If you really have to pay for it, wouldn't I also have to pay for your medicine?"

After hearing this, Brother Shen didn't dwell on the matter anymore, but secretly decided that when he got to the capital, he would repay this family well.

Gu Mingda added: "The ship docks in Tongzhou. Then you can just follow our carriage to Beijing and we will take you home."

Gu Mingda said this to arrange the last mile of Brother Shen's return to the capital.

Brother Shen was very grateful.

Soon, Gu Mingda found the steward on the ship and rented the next room.

Brother Shen finally didn't have to smell other people's foot odor and sweat anymore. The ordinary and simple room became extremely comfortable in his eyes.

"There is a door lock. I close the door from the inside, so others can't get in. I can also lock the door when I go out, so that others won't steal my things!"

Brother Shen was amazed at everything he saw.

He was always surrounded by servants when he traveled, and rarely had to worry about locking the door and anti-theft. He had almost no life experience. He suffered this time. I'm afraid he can't sleep well at night without locking the door.

Gu Mingda looked at him and suddenly felt something was wrong: "Where is your baggage? Haven't you packed your luggage? You don't even have clothes to wash and change?"

When Brother Shen heard him ask about this, a mask of pain instantly appeared on his face: "I... I ran onto the ship without my servants. They didn't pack my luggage, and I didn't know what to bring..."

Gu Mingda didn't know what to say for a moment. At least the other party's otherworldly appearance proved that he was really a young man from a wealthy family.

Niuniu on the side tilted her head, as if imparting life wisdom, and said: "Brother, don't you know how to pack your luggage? Niuniu can teach you. Pack different luggage according to the length of time you are out. If the time is long, only bring one or two sets of clothes..."

Listening to the girl's soft voice, Brother Shen was so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Gu Mingda originally wanted to stop Niuniu from continuing to talk, so as not to make Brother Shen feel uncomfortable.

Unexpectedly, after the initial discomfort, Brother Shen behaved very humbly. He squatted down and looked Niuniu in the eye and said, "I'll remember this. If you run away without telling the servants next time, I'll know how to pack my luggage."
