Even if the family calculates one son and one daughter, it will cost three or four thousand taels, and there will be a lot of money for dinner and theater troupes. After this small banquet, it is impossible to stop it without seven or eight thousand taels.

Gu Yan twitched his eyes and said, "Or what if I'm going to stay at home for another day?"

It’s impossible for my mother to give her a gift alone? Don’t those ladies have to give her a gift? At least they can take it back, so they can’t let her family spend so much money. If you have that money, it’s better to buy more food and give it to Jiguanling!

Tang sneered, "Okay, you, it's no difference whether you are at home or not. Could it be that you are willing to socialize those ladies?"

Gu Yan frowned and thought for a while, shook her head, "I don't want to."

Tang rolled his eyes, "If you don't want to, what's the use of you at home?"

Gu Yan answered without thinking: "Make money."

When Tang heard this, he almost laughed angry by Gu Yan. He stretched out his finger and pointed Gu Yan's forehead, and tilted her back.

"You are a poor thing, you have earned so much money and are not that bad? You are a slave! A silly girl, it's better if you don't come. Think about it, my mother gave their daughter a gift, and they would be embarrassed not to give it to you? There is more than one daughter in their family, but our Gu family, you and I have only you, my daughter. The gifts you receive will only be more expensive than them. It's like returning all the things they have combined to you, so that they will not owe each other.

But they don’t want to give you a good deal if they haven’t seen you, so they can only wait until the next time they have the chance. My mother will definitely have to get along well with them in the past few years. The family will soon get along. When the relationship is good, they will naturally not give you less when they see you again in the future, but only more.

It’s not that my mother plots on the money, but just to tell you that you should not care about the gains and losses in front of you, and look at it for a long time. It’s no big deal to lose some small profits for the time being. It will always be useful in the future, and you will get more than you lose.

For example, at this banquet, it seems that my mother spent a lot of money, but the benefits she gained from it are not measured by that little money. The money spent a lot of money, but who doesn’t hold a banquet, and who doesn’t spend money? These are not big things. The key is to contact the people in the border town officialdom so that your father can enter the border town officialdom as soon as possible, so that he can quickly integrate into it. In addition, the matter of the Shantang has a common interests and reputation with them. If you want to enter them, you will get twice the result with half the effort.

As long as your father penetrates them, the income will be more than just silver, but also reputation and the most important military power. Alas! You are too young and you don’t understand if you tell you. Really, I don’t know what to do. Why do you tell you about this? It seems that you are so busy and dizzy.”

Tang was excited and didn't pay much attention to what she said. After he was almost done, he realized that the person sitting in front of her was not the eldest son, but the eldest daughter of Xiao Douding.

No matter how early my daughter is, she is still here. What does a five-year-old girl know?

Tang shook his head, not caring too much about Gu Yan's understanding of whether he could listen. Anyway, he would have to repeatedly remind his daughter in the future, and it doesn't matter whether he understands it or not.

Gu Yan thought about it thoughtfully and felt that her mother was not an ordinary person and had a long-term vision. It was not entirely his own efforts to achieve her father's current situation. Her mother probably also made a lot of efforts.

I'm afraid there will be no secret confrontation between the female family members in the backyard of various prefectures when they were in Changzhou. What about this place? Is it no less than a battlefield with flesh and blood?

At noon, a group of teenagers arrived at the side door of Gu's mansion and opened before knocking. A gray-bodied servant glanced at them, said nothing, turned around and entered the mansion.

The group of people were stunned for a moment. Seeing that the servant was walking away, he was about to no longer see anyone, so they immediately rushed into the Gu Mansion.

Gu Yan met Yang Huaijin and her group at her "Jingxin Pavilion". She was wearing a moonlit men's clothing, sitting quietly at the stone table in the yard, holding a book [Sun Tzu's Art of War] in her hand, and didn't even look at them at all, but they felt that the whole yard was very depressed, making them breathless.

Gu Yan ignored them and they didn't say anything. Time passed slowly. Until a stick of incense was over, a child finally couldn't help it. He confronted a tall boy in front of him and glanced at Gu Yan with his eyes.

The boy's waist and eyes were hurt, and he slapped the boy's back hand with a slap on the back of the boy's hand. With a "pop", the silence in the yard broke.

Gu Yan raised her head and glanced at them lightly, then focused her attention on the book in her hand, and said casually: "It is not that simple to be with me. I don't have so much kindness to raise a bunch of waste. What I want is your loyalty, and at the same time, you also need your ability to do things for me. Only by signing the contract for sale can I feel at ease to let you learn skills and have a chance to follow me.

If you want to be hungry, eat and drink well, earn a lot of money, and become a superior person, you have to be obedient. If you can't do it, you can leave. If you don't leave, be prepared to die. As long as you can live, I will give you freedom after you live to the age of thirty-five. Give you a stick of incense time to consider, get out of the way if you don't sign after one stick of incense, and go there after the Shantang is opened."

Gu Yan didn't force anyone, and she could understand the words. The people here were not allowed to follow her. If they wanted to gain her trust, they had to sign a contract to be trained before they could be confidants. When they were thirty-five years old, as long as they were still alive, they could gain freedom, and they would earn a lot of money over the years so that they could live a good life in the future.

After Gu Yan finished speaking, she didn't look at them again. She leaned against the stone table and looked at the book in her hand, as if the content in the book attracted her, and she completely forgot about their existence.

Yang Huaijin walked out after Gu Yan's words, stood directly in front of the pavilion where Gu Yan was, and bowed to salute.

"The villain is willing to sign a contract for sale, please give me a chance."

"Miss? Girl? Are you not a boy?"

A boy opened his mouth wide in surprise as soon as Yang Huaijin finished speaking, pointed at Gu Yan and shouted.

Standing on the right side of the pavilion, the invisible man's fragrance moved instantly, and he stepped to the side of the boy pointing at Gu Yan and shouting, and reached out to hold the boy's fingers, and broke his hand with force.

"Ah~!"

"The following is the best, be presumptuous!"

The book fragrance ignored the boy's screams and used his hand strength to hear the "Gaba" sound, and the boy heard even more painful screams.

"Ah~, my fingers, ah~, it hurts so much..., ah~, no, woo, it's broken, ah, it hurts..."

There was a sound of breath coming from the crowd, but no one dared to speak. They all looked at Shuxiang in shock, unable to believe that a girl about ten years old would break a boy who was two or three years older than her.
