Chapter 258 invitation
The sugar made by Gao Yu really surprised Gao Qiu.
This kind of sugar product with a strong milky aroma not only has a good taste, but also has excellent quality.
"I didn't expect that my son would have such a way."
Gao Qiu twisted a pinch of powdered sugar with his fingers, tasted it, and praised it repeatedly.
Gao Qiu is not a person who has never seen the world. He also has a lot of sugar products at home. However, he must admit that the black-looking brown sugar and brown sugar at home are inferior to the "white sugar" made by Gao Yu in terms of appearance and taste.
"Father, this 'sweet' cannot be completed, and the last step is missing.
I have ordered people to make a large number of molds, and then the powdered sugar will be suppressed and finally formed sugar cubes... The reason why I used it for my father to taste it now is to remind my father that follow-up matters need to be accelerated. The storefront and corresponding personnel must start to arrange them.
Otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t be able to catch up with the good day of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.”
Gao Qiu nodded repeatedly and expressed his agreement.
"I have made arrangements for this matter. Jixiang'er quickly made the finished product. If it can be made before the New Year, I will present it to the official family. Maybe it will appear in front of the world as an offering when sacrificing to the Taimiao this year.
As for the collaborators, I have already thought about it, Jixianger doesn’t have to worry.”
Gao Yu naturally feels at ease with Gao Qiu's ability to do business.
His confident look also made Gao Yu feel at ease.
This kind of unique business cannot be monopolized by the Gao family. Although Gao Qiu is the Grand Marshal in front of the palace, his status is not enough to protect the business of "Bai Sugar". In Bianliang City, there are many powerful people. Even if Gao Qiu is deeply favored by the official family, he must find a reliable partner.
As for Gao Qiu’s ‘collaborator’?
Gao Yu did not ask or was interested in knowing.
He is just a yamen now and doesn't want to get involved in affairs in the court and power struggle too early.
Having a dad at home is enough to support it.
Not to mention, he has three brothers, two of whom entered the government and one entered the scientific examination. Gao Yu now just wants to enjoy the life of the yamen, make more money, and then improve his own abilities through time cicadas.
The rest of things...
Let’s talk about it!
Gao Yu said goodbye and prepared to visit his mother Liang.
However, when he was about to go out, he heard Gao Qiu calling him.
"Jixiang'er!"
"What else does Father have to tell me?"
Gao Yu turned around and saw Gao Qiu picking up an invitation from the desk.
"The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month is the day when the Buddha becomes enlightened, and the Daxiangguo Temple will hold a meeting.
After the Dharma Assembly, there will be a poetry meeting, and you will also attend it. I know you are unintentional, but since you are in Bianliang, some things will inevitably be avoided. Attending more gatherings and meeting more people will be of great benefit to you in the future... After all, you are considered a Sumen student now."
Poetry meeting?
Gao Yu took the invitation and was a little confused.
"Please attend? This is..."
"When Li Foer's poetry meeting, young talents in Bianliang City will attend. This invitation is so precious that many people want to participate, but they are not qualified to do so. This invitation was sent by Li Foer. Don't be willful. If you really anger her, you will live a good life without you."
Li Foer!
Gao Yu was even more confused when he heard this name.
He is no longer the rookie who first came to Bianliang, and now he has some understanding of Bianliang.
Then Li Foer is Li Shishi, and it is said that the official lover is the official.
The most important thing is that she is also the head of the Bianliang Festival. She is not only beautiful and charming, but also has outstanding talent. There are many romantic events about her in this city of Bianliang. In addition to the affairs of her and the official family, the most catchy story between her and Zhou Bangyan.
In short, Li Foer's identity and status are very detached.
Every time she held a poetry meeting, it caused a sensation in the entire Bianliang, and young talents all rushed to participate.
But, how could she send him a special invitation?
Gao Qiu seemed to understand Gao Yu's confusion and smiled and said, "You forgot that when you solved the trouble for your third brother, you involved Li Foer. Fortunately, you asked your father to visit him and let her accept your favor.
Next year, you will enter the official career.
But your reputation and prestige are too low, so she wanted to take the opportunity to repay this favor, so she sent an invitation."
I see!
After listening to Gao Qiu's explanation, Gao Yu suddenly realized.
To be honest, he doesn't really want to participate.
Previously, he attended several so-called poetry meetings with Gao Yaofu, but he felt that it was not very good.
Those so-called "young talents" are probably talking about some romantic love.
Sometimes, even though they can talk about current affairs, they often talk big, giving Gao Yu a very bad sense. Of course, those people probably look down on Gao Yu... In short, Gao Yu is mostly unwilling to participate in such things.
But Gao Qiu said this to this point, and it seems that it would be inappropriate if he did not participate.
Unwilling to accept the invitation, Gao Yu said: "Don't worry, father, the child knows what to do."

That night, Gao Yu stayed in Gao Mansion.
He hasn't been home for more than ten days. Although the old house is not far from Gao Mansion, Liang still cares about it very much.
Therefore, when he came back this time, Liang naturally had to care about his well-being.
She pulled Gao Yu and said until the middle of the night. Later, she was still tired, so she let Gao Yu go back to her room to rest. During this sleep, Gao Yu slept until midnight. After dinner at home, he accompanied his mother to say something for a while. It was not until afternoon that he said goodbye and took Ma Dazhuang to leave Gao Mansion.
"Yanei, don't be fine!"
As soon as he left Gao’s mansion, Gao Yu was blocked by someone.
"Rich?"
Gao Yu smiled after seeing the man clearly.
Fugui didn't seem to have changed much, but his skin became much darker and his whole body was much stronger.
He took two steps forward, first greeted Ma Dazhuang, then sang a fat look to Gao Yu, "Yane hasn't seen each other for a long time, and his style is even better than before. My ninth brother heard that Yane came back, but he couldn't take off and had never visited him... Today, Ninth brother booked a boat, looked for Yane to travel to the river, and asked Yane to enjoy the scenery."
"Brother Jiu is looking for me? Haha, then I will go to the appointment on time."
Seeing Gao Yu's attitude, Fugui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He smiled and said, "Since that's the case, the Hongqiao Wharf in the middle of You is still the ship of Qi Niang. My Jiu brother will wait for the Yanei when he arrives."
"So, let me tell you, see you."
Seeing Gao Yu agreeing, Fugui didn't say anything more, and sang a fat look again, saying goodbye and left.
Looking at Fugui's back, Gao Yu couldn't help but smile.
He was about to look for Wei Jiu, but he didn't expect Wei Jiu to come to the door by himself.
Of course, from Gao Qiu's mouth, Gao Yu already knew the true identity of "Wei Jiu". To be honest, when Gao Yu first learned that "Wei Jiu" was actually the ninth prince, he was really shocked.
He had guessed Wei Jiu's identity, but never thought that Wei Jiu would be the prince.
At the beginning, he was still a little nervous, and didn't know whether he should continue to contact Wei Jiu.
But Gao Qiu told him not to worry about what he should have done before and what he will do in the future, and there is no need to be too cautious.
"Father, that's the ninth prince."
"So what if the ninth prince is afraid of?"
Gao Qiu smiled and comforted Gao Yu, and immediately told Gao Yu that Zhao Gou was not very favored among the many princes of the official family. Wei was not happy with the official family, so Zhao Gou was also very coldly treated. However, Zhao Gou's status has been greatly improved because he passed on Gao Yu's letters to the official family.
"The Prince of Guangyang impeached Zhu Xie this time and made great contributions. It is estimated that after the war in Jiangnan is quelled, he will be enthroned by King Kang.
When you interact with Brother Jiu, you should be calm and not be too flattering.
I think the more humble or arrogant you are in my father’s experience, the more he will value you…too flattery, it will be counterproductive.”
When it comes to dealing with people in the royal family, Gao Qiu can't know much more.
Gao Yu is also very clear about this, so he keeps Gao Qiu's guidance in mind.
Based on his previous contact with Zhao Gou, we generally know that Zhao Gou is actually a very sensitive person.
He once said that the environment he lives in is very complicated.
It is precisely because of this that he is extremely eager for friendship.
Gao Yu also felt that he didn't need to flatter Zhao Gou too much, he just needed to treat him normally...
He and Zhao Gou should be considered as gentlemen.
From the beginning, when he met Zhao Gou, there was no conflict of interests, and he never thought about what to get from Zhao Gou. I guess Zhao Gou was the same, otherwise he would not have changed his name and surname to get to know Gao Yu.
No matter how Gao Yu asks him for help or if Gao Yu gives him a copybook, he will not be mixed with utilitarianism.
