Traveling to ancient times with a sign-in system

Chapter 122 There is no such good thing
The five people worked quickly. Soon, the broken door frame was removed, replaced with a new one, and then the door was installed.

I tried opening and closing the door a few times and found that it opened and closed very smoothly without any bumps or instability.

In this way, the door was repaired.

The tea in the kitchen was ready. Gu Lianshan didn't care about anything and just took the big bowl used for eating at home, poured half a bowl into each person's cup and handed it to them, telling them to taste it carefully.

"My daughter bought this from Bei'an City. She originally intended it for visiting relatives and entertaining guests during the New Year holidays. Since you are coming to my house today, I specially cooked it for you to try. If it were for anyone else, don't even think about it."

These words made the few people feel very respectable. Just by smelling the fragrance of the tea, they knew it was good tea. It was very different from the tea they occasionally had in roadside tea shops.

After the tea bowls were brought over, the five people's faces were filled with curiosity. They each took a deep sniff and grinned, saying, "Fragrant! It really is fragrant! This is the first time in my life that I've tasted tea that smells this good. Today is truly a treat!"

"There's plenty in that pot. If you like, you can eat it all!"

Gu Lianshan brought out the teapot, and he would go over and refill whichever bowl was empty, so that they could eat their fill in one go!

After having tea, it turned out that just as Gu Lianshan said, Gu Dazhu did not charge any money.

Gu Lianshan took out a string of money and stuffed it over, but Gu Dazhu stuffed it back with a tough attitude, saying he didn't want anything.

"We've been friends for decades. Now that you're having a hard time, how can I accept your money? Besides, it's not much. The wood used for the two door panels is common wood found in the mountains. There's not much material used. Even if it were chopped into firewood, it wouldn't be worth a few coppers. How can I even charge you for it?!"

Gu Lianshan had expected this to happen, so he didn't mention the money anymore. He went into the kitchen and took out the rooster that his son had caught earlier, and asked Gu Dazhu to take it back and kill it.

"Today is my birthday. I had originally planned to invite you guys to my house for a good gathering, but unfortunately, things have happened at home, and my parents are both too sick to get up, so I can't invite you now.

Take this chicken back and kill it, don't refuse! Tonight, we'll go to your house for a drink. Then, I have something I'd like you and me to help with."

"Okay! I'll take the chicken back. I have a jar of wine in my room. Let's have a good meal together today and celebrate your birthday!" Gu Dazhu agreed readily.

The remaining four were no less eager, and all of them shouted for their things.

"Brother Lianshan offered the chicken, and Brother Dazhu offered the wine, so I'll offer a piece of meat!"

"I'm offering a fish! I just caught it in the river yesterday!"

"I'll give you some turtledoves! I caught them in the mountains the other day with a slingshot. I caught half a basket full!"

"Since you all provide meat, I'll have no choice but to follow Brother Dazhu's lead and bring a few pounds of wine so we can eat to our heart's content!"

"Okay! It's settled!" Gu Lianshan beamed. "I'll be there at the beginning of the evening hour! But this shouldn't be made public, guys. Don't tell anyone."

"Don't worry, we all know what's going on." The five people nodded. They also knew the seriousness of the matter.

After the agreement was reached, Gu Dazhu and the others left with the chickens, and Gu Lianshan saw them off to the courtyard gate. The coptis root in the hallway was almost cooked, and Gu Tang's heart was like a cat's claw, thinking about this matter all the time.

When her father returned to the yard, she quickly beckoned him over, "Dad! The coptis root is ready. Can you pour it out and bring it over now?"

Gu Lianshan scooped out a little coptis chinensis juice with a spoon. The color looked yellow-brown, and he said, "It's OK. Dad will go to the east wing to see if your uncle is awake or asleep. Pour out the coptis chinensis juice and let it cool down first, so as not to burn your uncle."

"Oh!" Gu Tang couldn't stop smiling. He happily took down the medicine jar and carefully poured the coptis juice into the bowl without spilling a drop!

Perhaps because Wei was not there, the east wing was in a mess, with used clothes and shoes thrown everywhere.

The windows and doors in the room were closed, the light was dim, the air was turbid and stuffy, and there was a strong smell of urine!
Gu Lianshan frowned, he couldn't stand it anymore.

After all, there are two scholars living in this house, so why is it so dirty and messy?

When I lifted the curtain hanging at the door of the inner room, the smell of urine was even stronger!
Gu Lianshan walked in, covering his nose, and found that there was an oil lamp lit in the inner room!

"It's broad daylight, what are you doing? Who would light an oil lamp in broad daylight? You didn't earn the money in this house, but you don't feel sorry for spending it, and you just want to waste it, don't you?"

Gu Liansheng was tired of lying down, so he was leaning against the head of the bed, closing his eyes to rest.

There was an oil lamp lit on the bedside table, a few books on the bed, and the floor was a mess, all of which were things he had just smashed and no one had cleaned up.

When he suddenly heard Gu Lianshan's voice, he was startled all over, thinking that he was hallucinating, and immediately opened his eyes and looked around.

When he saw Gu Lianshan, his face darkened. "What are you doing here? What? Haven't you had enough of my jokes? Now you want to see me make a fool of myself?!"

After saying this, he immediately turned over and lay on his side, not wanting to look at Gu Lianshan's smug face!
Gu Lianshan didn't indulge him. He first blew out the oil lamp, then said, "I wonder if you're dead! You can stand up and walk around, and you can even stand up and argue with others, but why do you lie in bed like you're dying when something happens? You don't even go to see your parents in the main hall, and you don't even go to keep watch at night. If that's the case, I'm going to get the lion's share when the family property is divided!"

Hearing the word "divide the family," Gu Liansheng sat up again with a jerk, turned around and said angrily, "Our ancestors left us a message! If both parents are still alive, the family cannot be divided! How dare you go against our ancestors' message?!"

"It's okay if the family doesn't need to be divided! Dad and Mom are sick and need money for treatment. First, take out ten taels of silver! You know how much money Dad and Mom have spent on you over the years. Now that Dad and Mom are sick, they need money. If you take out the money, the family will not be divided!"

Gu Lianshan stretched out his big hand in front of him and asked him to pay.

Gu Liansheng froze, looking at the large hand stretched out to him with embarrassment. He turned his head away and argued in a timid manner, "I haven't even graduated yet, so where would I get the money to give you? Your daughter has the money, so you can ask her to use it as a deposit. When I graduate, I will definitely pay her back in full..."

"What bullshit is that!" Gu Lianshan interrupted him with a look of disdain. "Don't you claim to be the eldest son who inherits the family business? You've been studying for decades, but they didn't teach you that the eldest son, in addition to inheriting the family business, also has to support his parents and maintain the family's brothers and sisters.

You are so good, you only care about inheriting the family business, and you have thrown away the support of your parents and the maintenance of your brothers and sisters! Gu Liansheng, there is no such good thing in this world, and I am not the blind old man in the main room. Either you pay the money, or we split up and live our own lives! "

"My parents won't agree to splitting up the family!" Gu Liansheng's face turned red with embarrassment, and he wanted to bring up the two elders of the Gu family.
