Chapter 150 How Powerful a Female Official Can Be
In the early morning, the city gates of Shangjing slowly opened, and people of all kinds who had been waiting outside the city began to line up to enter the city.
Gu Jiabao couldn't help but lift the curtains of the carriage and look out, "Father, mother, look, it's so lively!"
Gu Youfu looked out of the window and felt that his eyes were not enough.
He has never seen such a majestic city, let alone such a prosperous city!
This is Shangjing City, the richest place in Bei'an!
Gao poked her head out from behind him and stared greedily at every woman passing by. From their jewelry to their dresses, they were all so gorgeous that she was shocked.
"That damn girl, is she really an official? Why don't I believe it so much?" Gao murmured, "How can there be any reason for a woman to be an official in this world?"
Gu Youfu's eyes were almost glued to the magnificent buildings and shops on the roadside, and he cursed, "You stupid bitch, if Zhao Di hadn't become an official, would this caravan agree to bring us here?"
Will you give us a ride in the carriage?"
Mr. Gao was unconvinced, "We also gave him some money, more than one tael of silver."
"You are stupid and you still don't admit it. With just one tael of silver, how can I make money by bringing you from Jiangnan to Shangjing?" Gu Youfu turned around and slapped Mr. Gao.
"Also, did you spend money on food and drinks along the way?"
Gao thought for a while and felt that what Gu Youfu said was indeed reasonable. She nodded vigorously and said, "Then we are not the official master and the official wife? I just don't know what kind of official that damn girl is, whether she is big or not, and how much a month it costs."
"
Gu Jiabao shouted happily, "Sister, if you become an official, you will definitely be rich! Then I will also live in a big house and have servants to take care of me. I will beat anyone who disobeys me!"
When Mrs. Gao heard this, she beamed, "Then our family treasure is the young master. When the time comes, let your eldest sister give you money to study. When you grow up, you can also become an official and become a high official!"
A smile appeared on Gu Youfu's face, "Jia Bao is so smart, he will definitely be able to read it. Then I will be the old man of the Gu family..."
The carriage stopped, and the steward of the caravan walked to the side of the carriage and politely asked the Gu family to come down, "Master Gu, Mrs. Gu, please follow me."
Gu Youfu got out of the car, and Mrs. Gao pulled Gu Jiabao to follow him. Gu Pandi, who had been afraid to speak, took a break from the car and glanced at the busy street, then quickly lowered her head and followed behind them.
, and entered the inn together.
"The room has been opened for you, please come." The steward waved his hand, and several strong men came up and pushed Gu Youfu and his wife into one room, while Gu Pandi and Gu Jiabao were pushed into the opposite room.
"Hey, what are you doing? What are you doing? Jiabao, Jiabao, what are you doing? My daughter is a high official!"
Mrs. Gao shouted and struggled, but no one paid any attention to her.
Gu Youfu was pressed on the shoulders by two big men and did not dare to say a word.
The couple was pushed into a gorgeous guest room, and in the center of the room stood a middle-aged man dressed in brocade.
The middle-aged man waved his hand, and the big men backed out without saying a word and closed the door.
"You two, please take a seat." The middle-aged man sat down by himself, stretched out his hand with a gold and gemstone ring, and poured himself a cup of tea with a calm expression.
Gu Youfu is a street vendor, and he has some experience in Xishui Town.
The clothes on this man's body, the jade on his hat, and the ring on his finger are all more valuable than those on the county master.
Thinking about the ferocious looks of those big men just now, Gu Youfu felt that this man probably had a great background and they could not afford to offend him.
But how could such a well-established person have trouble with ordinary people like them?
The only possibility is his eldest daughter Gu Zhaodi.
It is said in the script that once you become an official, you will have enemies. Is this person Gu Zhaodi's enemy, so you want to take it out on them?
Gu Youfu was thinking in his mind, and turned around to give Gao a fierce look, telling her not to scream, so as not to anger these gentlemen and suffer more.
"You're welcome, please sit down, please sit down." The middle-aged man said with a smile, "Ms. Gu is now a popular person in front of the emperor, and you two will be very lucky in the future."
Gu Youfu sat on the chair carefully, "Master, I don't know your last name? How should you address it?"
The middle-aged man waved his hand to him, "Don't ask me about my identity. I'm just here to give you and your wife a few words, so that you don't know anything and cause trouble for Ms. Gu."
Mrs. Gao coquettishly sat down next to Gu Youfu. When she heard this, she couldn't help curling her lips.
With Gu Zhaodi's bad temper, it would be nice if she didn't cause trouble and bring them down.
The middle-aged man crossed his legs and said, "Official Gu is now prosperous and lives in a big courtyard. She is surrounded by people who greet her every time she goes out. Many officials are afraid when they see her."
Gao couldn't help but said, "Why are you afraid of her? How powerful can a female official be?"
Gu Youfu said nothing, but secretly looked at the middle-aged man's face.
"I'm afraid that she will raid her house, arrest her, and behead her." The middle-aged man was still smiling, "You are not in Beijing, so you don't know how powerful Ms. Gu has been in the past six months."
Gao's eyes flickered, "Is she really that powerful? Does she still have such great abilities?"
Gu Youfu was more knowledgeable than his mother-in-law, and now he felt something was wrong. He shrank his neck, "Did that damn girl offend you, so you brought our family over from Jiangnan in preparation for revenge?"
