Gu's mother thought that it would be nice to have a shop at home to make money. Although the land had increased a little, the money coming in from the land was indeed too slow.

She is very confident in what Gu Yao does, and she believes that there is nothing her daughter cannot accomplish.

Now they even have a house in the county town and a shop. Although it is rented, I believe they can definitely buy it as long as they have money.

"I will take Liu Lang back tomorrow and talk to them. Let Wu Lang rest at home. His stomach is not stable yet. Let him stay at home longer."

Gu Yao returned to the room and told Lin Wulang about this. Lin Wulang was very excited when he heard it: "My wife, thank you, but although I also want you to promote my family, if they don't do a good job, you don't have to insist on letting them do it for the sake of me and Liu Lang. After all, the shop belongs to our family. It would be bad if it loses money. That's also money."

He knew that he was now a member of the Gu family, so he couldn't be too selfish and always think about his mother's family.

His wife was willing to promote her family because of him and Liu Lang, and he couldn't make things difficult for his wife.

But he is also very happy now, knowing that his wife takes them seriously, and the shop will be taken over by his two families. He hopes that his family will not hold his wife back, otherwise he will not agree.

The next day, Gu Yao brought Lin Liulang back to the Lin family. Lin Liulang was very excited along the way. He did not expect that Gu Yao would promote his family. He was happy just thinking about it.

When she arrived at the Lin family, Gu Yao told the matter to the head of the Lin family, Mrs. Lin.

Old Mrs. Lin gave birth to three daughters in her life. Three daughters is quite impressive.

The Lin family has about eight or nine grandchildren, so their family is getting poorer and poorer.

A family with more girls will be wealthier, but it will also have to eat more.

What's more, they are all rural people. Apart from finding odd jobs outside, they have nothing to do and just farm at home.

Farming is not something that can be achieved by just brute physical effort, so it is good enough for their family to be able to afford food.

In the beginning, wasn't it because Gu Yao was a scholar that they were willing to marry Lin Wulang and the others, or even because their family offered a higher betrothal gift?

Old Mrs. Lin was stunned when she heard what Gu Yao said. She stood up and said excitedly, "Ayao, really? Are you really willing to take them to the county town to open a shop?"

Seeing their excitement, Gu Yao smiled faintly: "Of course it's true. Grandma, you know that I have to take the imperial examination, so I can't do business. And my family is small, so I can't do it. I thought of asking Wulang and Liulang's family to help me. But don't worry, I will provide the rent and materials for the shop. You just need to do it, and I will pay for the rest. But I won't let you suffer any loss. If you are willing, then go to the county town with my mother tomorrow."

After hearing this, Auntie Lin and the others rubbed their hands and said, "Of course we are willing. This is your family's business. It's okay to pay us. After all, we don't need to provide anything, we just need to work hard. If it weren't for Wu Lang and Liu Lang, how could such a great thing fall into the hands of our Lin family?"

Old Mrs. Lin was also excited. She didn't expect that her family would actually rise after getting connected to the Gu family.

Especially when she heard that the Gu family now had servants and her two grandsons were being served, she really was marrying into a wealthy and powerful family.

"Auntie, you must make your daughters work hard. If they dare to be lazy, don't blame me, an old woman, for coming here to punish you personally."

Of course Aunt Lin and the others wouldn't dare to do that. They even had to curry favor with the Gu family. If anything slipped through their fingers, it would be enough for them to live on for the rest of their lives.

Gu Yao also selected three people, one from the Lin family's first wife, one from the second wife, and one from the third wife, all of whom were the sisters of Wu Lang and Liu Lang.

Gu Yao would not be too lenient and chose one for each of the three families so that they could supervise each other.

After selecting the members of the Lin family, she no longer cared about it and everything was handled by Gu's mother.

Mother Gu is still young. Although she looked much older because the family was poor, she is in good health now with a lot of supplements.

She had to keep an eye on it, after all, this was the property of their Gu family.

The three ladies of the Lin family also wanted to live in the county town. Gu Yao happened to rent a house for them next to the shop. The house was quite big, just enough for the three of them, and they could live here after closing the shop.

After I rented the shop, I hired someone to renovate it and planned to make some breakfast.

Gu Yao also gave them breakfast, which tasted pretty good. Business was good when she first opened. After all, the shop she rented happened to be in a popular place, and the three of them, Madam Lin, were quite diligent and hygienic, so they had many repeat customers.

Gu Yao stopped caring about it when she saw that the business was good. After all, her main priority was to take the scientific examination.

In late July, she was going to the provincial capital with Master Li and others to take the imperial examination.

The family opened a shop, so Mother Gu did not go this time.

Gu Xiaoshu has become quite capable under Gu Yao's training and usually serves her well, so her mother is quite relieved about him.

What's more, she was with Master Li and the others, and Master Li was very serious about this poetry competition.

He even specially arranged for two servants to come and serve them in the hope that they could pass the imperial examination and become scholars without any worries.

Gu Yao took this poem very seriously. As long as she passed it, she would become a scholar, and she could go to the county school to study.

She discussed it with Wang Yang and the other five, and Master Li also analyzed it with them.

If they want to continue to take exams at higher levels, they must go to the county town or other academies. However, the tuition fees at other academies are extremely expensive and they cannot afford it.

Other academies also require rich and powerful people. They are full of children from wealthy families, so it is better for poor children like them not to go there.

Otherwise, if you don’t study hard, you may not even be able to remain a scholar.

The title of scholar is not always this one. There are annual examinations. If one fails to pass the examination, he may not be able to keep the title and will have to take the examination again.

So they discussed it and except Huang Xiaoyan who wanted to go to other academies, the others planned to go to the county school.

But we still have to wait until they pass the examination to become scholars. Without the title, everything will be in vain. After all, all the students at the entrance of the county school are scholars.

Gu Xiaoshu was quite envious of the bright and beautiful appearance of Gu Yao and other scholars.

But she also knew that she didn't have the ability or the conditions, and it was good enough for her to survive. It was even good enough that the lady was willing to let her be a servant.
