Chapter 617 Want to Marry a Wife

Datou Bing said to Ma Gui: "Write down what you just told me in the letter. In particular, remind my family that once the documents are taken, they must not be claimed by others.

Also tell them that when they receive the money, five taels is five taels. I have already paid the handling fee, and they don't need to pay another penny. Also, tell them not to worry about me, I'm fine here. "

Ma Gui nodded and wrote down the truth.

Two pages full of writing.

Ma Gui asked Datou Bing, "Would you like to check to see if there is any typo?"

Datou Bing scratched his head, "Boss, help me see, is everything written on this letter paper correct?"

Gu Ting put down his pen, and glanced at Ma Gui's letter word by word, "Except for a few typos and typos, the content is correct, and everything is written as you said."

The big soldier laughed, very satisfied.

Gu Ting was a little embarrassed.

Back then, he was studying in the school, a proper scumbag. Unexpectedly, when he came to the military camp, he would become a top student and be admired by others.

It's really embarrassing.

Also, his handwriting is ugly. In the words of the master, there is no character.

It is better than the handwriting of the courier Ma Gui.

The handwriting written by the sour scholar next door is ten times better than his.

Gu Ting clutched the letter paper, not asking the big soldiers to read it.

How embarrassing it is for the boss to write so ugly.

Gu Ting frowned.

He really doesn't like writing letters, trouble.

He has studied for several years at least, so he must not write letters in slobber like Ma Gui, the courier.

Either way, there has to be some literary flair. He is well-mannered, so that people know that he has not read all the books in those years in vain.

This made Gu Ting suffer.

In a word, it's easy and quick to say with your mouth. I picked up a pen and wrote it down, but couldn't find the exact wording.

It's really embarrassing for him.

He put down his pen, "I'll go out for a while."

No matter what everyone thinks,

He took the letter paper and went out.

As soon as he went out, he turned a corner and sneaked over the wall into the old scholar's house.

He opened his mouth and shouted: "Scholar, scholar. Business is coming, so hurry up and pick up customers."

"Which turtle son is shouting outside?"

A dirty scholar opened the broken window, saw Gu Ting, and immediately grinned.

"So it's General Gu, come quickly. Do you have any wine with you?"

Gu Ting opened the door and entered the room, "I don't have any wine today, I need your help to polish this letter for me."

I understand everything in the old scholar's face, and I promise not to tell anyone about it, "Little General Gu is writing letters to his family again. I've been writing really hard lately."

"There's a lot of nonsense. My sister added a nephew to me. I haven't been back for a few years, so I care more about it."

"That is, that is. General Gu loves his family so much, your family is blessed."

"Don't talk nonsense, first you can see if my writing is okay, and where there is room for improvement. You can polish the pen for me, and I will copy it again."

The old scholar sat under the window, taking advantage of the skylight to look carefully.

Then pick up the pen and make revisions and polish.

"Little General Gu, take a look, how is the old man doing?"

After reading it, Gu Ting grinned, "That's right, that's what it tastes like. This is the finishing fee, you can drink it with a bottle of wine."

Gu Ting directly gave half a tael of silver, and the old scholar didn't pretend to refuse, just said: "Thank you, General Gu, you come here often."

Gu Ting went out, turned around again, and asked, "Do you want to work at the courier station next door? You will be provided with food, lodging, and a monthly salary. In the coming year, there will be one and a half months of vacation, and the company will send you home directly."

The old scholar laughed loudly, "Thank you, General Gu. With my status, I can't go to the courier station, and I won't ruin their business. Even if the courier station can send me back to my ancestral home, I can't go back. General Gu Have you forgotten, I am wearing a sinful body."

A good scholar, exiled to the northwest, either committed a crime to avoid the government, or was convicted and exiled to the northwest.

Obviously, the old scholar should be in the second case.

No one remembers exactly when he came to the northwest, anyway, everyone around knows that there is someone like him here.

On the other side of the yamen, it is estimated that they would not know that there is such a number one person under their jurisdiction unless they look through the old files.

Just because the yamen forgot about him doesn't mean he can walk around casually.

Entering the city gate, as soon as you look at the identity documents, you know that he is a person wearing a crime. Everything can be sorted out.

No wonder the old scholar seemed to live a chic life, but he never went to the city, never married a wife and had children, and never mentioned returning to his ancestral home.

Gu Ting scratched his head, "Tell you first, what did I do?"

The old scholar smiled, "Little General Gu doesn't have to worry about this old man. I've lived most of my life, so I'm content!"

"Tell me about it. As long as it's not a big case of rebellion and beheading, I'll think of a way, maybe I can really help you." Gu Ting still didn't give up.

The old scholar shook his head, "Thank you! The family members are all dead, so it's meaningless to go back. This place is good, and the old man has already planned to bury it here for a long time."

Gu Ting frowned, "You don't want to go back to visit the tomb and worship your ancestors?"

The old scholar was silent for a moment, and then laughed again, "Everyone is dead, sacrifice to the ancestors. I am afraid that the ancestors have expelled me from the genealogy long ago."

Gu Ting sighed, "Think about it carefully. If you figure it out, we will talk next time we meet. Don't underestimate me. Although I am not very good, my family is very powerful. In a word, You can let the courier station accept you as an employee."

The old scholar laughed meaningfully, and said, "I believe it! I have always believed what General Gu said."

"That's it, goodbye!"

Gu Ting apologized, but still climbed over the wall and left.

The old scholar sang loudly and sighed at the wine.

When the singing sounded, the people at the courier station all said, "The old scholar is drunk again!"

"Don't say it, the old scholar has a good taste in singing."

"The smell of fart. I can't find the smell of the coffin."

Gu Ting returned to the courier station, put the transcribed letter into an envelope, and sealed it. Put it together with the baggage.

He said to Ma Gui, "Give me a money order, I want to send the money."

"Boss, didn't you say that your sister is rich, why are you sending money back?"

"You know what a fart!"

Gu Ting smiled triumphantly, "I send money back, it's not like you are giving it to your family. I use it for investment, and the money makes money. You have heard of the cement road. I invest my money in the cement road and sit and enjoy the bonus." .”

"Wow! Boss, such a good network, introduce it to us."

"Do you have money, kid? Have you paid off your gambling debts? When you have saved up to ten taels of silver, you come to me, and I will send it back to the capital for you to generate interest."

"Do I have to save up to ten taels? Is five taels okay?"

Gu Ting rolled his eyes and looked disgusted, "Look at your future, you can't even get ten taels of silver. You have spent so many years in vain."

"Boss, I have ten taels of silver, can you also let me eat the dividend?"

Gu Ting stared at the big soldier, "Don't you want to send money home? Where did you get the ten taels of silver?"

The big-headed soldier was tall and burly, with fierce scars on his face, and he showed a coy expression, which irritated Gu Ting so much.

"If you have something to say, don't make strange moves." Gu Ting was very disgusted.

With his back on his back, the big soldier whispered to Gu Ting: "I have saved sixteen taels in total. I sent five taels home, and I planned to go to the city to gamble the rest of the money during the Chinese New Year. But since the boss has a way to make money, I will give up. I have the opportunity to go to the city during the Chinese New Year, so I will give you the money, and you will vote for me."

Gu Ting snorted, "You guys will be killed by gambling sooner or later."

He made up his mind that when he returned to the barracks, he must react with General Pei and kill the gambling atmosphere in the army.

All the money earned by risking their lives was lost at the gambling table, who would not feel sorry for seeing it.

It's just that these gamblers don't feel bad about themselves.

Gu Ting thought about it, if she let her sister handle this matter, she must have a better way.

So, he asked for pen and ink again, and took up a pen to write the second letter. This letter is all in plain language, and only one thing is said. Gambling is a common practice in the army. How to solve it?

Seeing that the soldiers have lost all their money at the gambling table, they will be discharged from the army in the future, penniless, and have no hope for the rest of their lives, how can they not feel distressed.

After all, the toll booths at the courier stations are limited and cannot accommodate all the veterans.

Those veterans with no way out will have a miserable second half of their lives, Gu Ting dare not think deeply about it.

He could only write down his worries on the letter paper and ask his sister to help him make suggestions.

Gu Ting took ten taels of silver from the big head soldier and wrote him a written receipt.

Datoubing insisted on not wanting it, saying that he could trust Gu Ting.

Gu Ting insisted on giving it, "I told you to take it. If I die one day, you can get back the original money with this document. Without this document, my family would not recognize it."

"The general's words are inauspicious."

"It's unlucky to fart. They are all people with their heads stuck in their belts, so don't talk so much nonsense."

The big soldier could only accept the paper and put it next to his body.

Gu Ting sent back three hundred taels of silver this time.

He earns more here and spends more.

After one year, I saved more than three hundred taels. Keep the odds for the New Year, send the whole number back to the capital, and ask his sister to invest in him, money begets money.

The last time my sister wrote to him, saying that his dividends over the years had not been moved, and all of them were used for investment. After several years of accumulation, there are already tens of thousands of taels.

Gu Ting grinned, he is also a man with a certain wealth.

When it comes time to marry a wife, he doesn't need money from his family. He prepares the dowry himself and marries a girl he likes.
