Chapter 68 Gu Tingye's Compensation

Gu Tingye has known Li An for a while, so he naturally knows what Li An's family does.

When the Bai brothers did this, they were obviously targeting Li An.

And the reason why they targeted Li An, needless to say, was because of themselves.

After listening to Gu Tingye's narration, Grandma Chang said angrily: "It's too much. Not only did I not pursue their assassination, but I also didn't take back the property that the old man gave them. They actually dared to hold a grudge."

Gu Tingye sneered: "Since they are dishonest, let them be honest."

He had no good impression of the Bai family brothers. If these two were not the main line of the Bai family, he would never let them go.

The two of them actually dared to attack his friend, and Gu Tingye decided to take care of them.

……

"Zhonghuai, why are you here?" Li An asked in surprise

He originally planned to go find Gu Tingye after school, but he didn't expect to see Gu Tingye waiting at the door as soon as he came out of the academy.

"I came to see you, let's talk while walking." Gu Tingye said with a smile.

Li An nodded and walked side by side with Gu Tingye.

"I'm sorry, my two uncles implicated you because of my affairs." Gu Tingye apologized.

When Li An saw Gu Tingye, he guessed it. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "It's not your fault."

Gu Tingye felt even more guilty after hearing what Li An said. He took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it over.

"This is it?" Li An looked at Gu Tingye doubtfully.

"This is the compensation I want from them." Gu Tingye said.

Li An took it and unfolded it. He was very surprised to find that the piece of paper was the contract for Yuchou's flower boat.

Li An came to his senses, handed the contract back, shook his head and said, "This is too valuable, I can't have it."

"This was given by them, not by me." Gu Tingye said.

Li An shook his head and smiled: "My family didn't lose much, so I can't take it. If you really want to compensate me, how about selling me a shop?"

A painted boat was worth thousands of taels. Although he was tempted, he was embarrassed to accept it lest he be looked down upon by Gu Tingye.

When Gu Tingye saw that Li An insisted on not accepting the offer, he didn't insist on it either. He smiled and said, "Okay, I plan to get rid of it anyway. Which shop do you like? How about I sell Linjiang Building to you?"

Li An glanced at the tall building not far away, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Don't be kidding, how can I afford it? I took a fancy to the cloth shop on North Street and asked about it. Just sell that to me."

"I'm not sure what you're talking about. I have to go back and ask, and I'll have someone send you the deed later." Gu Tingye said.

"Wait a minute, the price hasn't been negotiated yet." Li An said.

Gu Tingye said nonchalantly: "Just watch and give it."

Li An: "..."

The wealthy young master is different. A shop worth one or two thousand taels can be given directly to him.

"Zhong Huai, I've inquired about that shop and the market price is around one thousand eight hundred taels. My family can't afford that much money now, so I can only give you one hundred taels first. I can set up an IOU for the rest and pay it off within two years. ." Li An said seriously.

"Then what are you doing? It's only one hundred taels. If you give me one hundred taels, the shop will be given to you." Gu Tingye said.

"no!"

Li An stopped and insisted: "If that's the case, then I don't want it."

Gu Tingye thought for a while and said, "Well, let's not give up one thousand eight hundred taels, just one thousand five hundred taels. You give me one hundred taels, and there is no need for an IOU for the remaining one thousand four hundred taels. I believe you." If you don’t agree, then I won’t sell it.”

For Gu Tingye, it was just over a thousand taels, and he didn't really care.

You must know that when the Bai family got married, they were given 500,000 taels of silver as a dowry, which shows how rich the Bai family is.

He was assassinated before and almost killed Li An, so he felt very guilty.

The Bai brothers retaliated against Li An because of him, which made him feel even more guilty.

He originally wanted to give Yu Chou's painted boat to Li An as compensation, but Li An confiscated it, so how could he care about a shop?

"In that case, I won't be pretentious." Li An said with a smile.

"Haha, if you refuse again, I won't even want to recognize you as my friend. Let's wait for Zicheng and come to my place for a few drinks together." Gu Tingye said with a smile.

"Next time, I have some questions to ask the teacher for advice." Li An refused.

"Okay, I'll go back then. I'll have someone deliver the house contract to you tomorrow." Gu Tingye said with a smile.

"No, wait until the next time I take a bath, I will bring the money there, and you can give me the house deed." Li An said.

"You, you, okay, just do as you say. I'll leave first!" Gu Tingye said with a smile.

Li An watched Gu Tingye go away, smiled bitterly and shook his head. Gu Tingye's sincerity made him feel that it would be good to have such a friend. However, as soon as this idea emerged, he unconsciously thought of the incident on the boat that was in distress.

Although he understood that Gu Tingye didn't expect this at all, there was a thorn in his heart. Maybe when this thorn dissipates in the future, he can truly regard Gu Tingye as a friend.

"Let's go!"

After a long time, Li An came to his senses and took Shi Zhu to Liu's house.

When he arrived at the door of Liu's house, Li An saw a carriage parked at the door, and Liu Waner and Mo Lan were talking at the door.

"I've met brother Li An."

"I've met Brother Li."

Seeing Li An approaching, the two stopped and saluted.

"Two sisters, Zhuang'an." Li An returned the greeting.

"Sister Wan'er, it's getting late, so I'll go back first and come to play with you next time," Mo Lan said.

"Don't forget to bring that book of poems you mentioned to me next time," Liu Waner said.

"Ah."

Mo Lan nodded, bowed to Li An, and got into the carriage.

After the carriage left, Li An asked: "What collection of poems?"

"I heard from Sister Mo Lan that the collection of poems passed down from Bianjing were all written by the scholars who passed the imperial examination this year." Liu Waner said.

"Girls, if you have time, learn more about housekeeping, female workers, etc. You can just read poetry occasionally." Li An said.

I have to say that Mo Lan is very resourceful, because she is a concubine, and many of the daughters-in-law from official families have a good relationship with Ru Lan and do not think highly of her.

And she united those concubine ladies.

Although Liu Waner was a little hostile to him at first, her temper was not unruly. Li An treated her like a sister and did not want her to come into contact with Melando.

"Hmph!" Liu Waner said unhappily after hearing this: "Brother Li An also thinks that we concubines have to learn those things. Can only legitimate daughters learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?"

Li An was speechless and said: "Who told you that my daughter-in-law has learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting?"

"Sister Mo Lan said it," Liu Waner said.

"She lied to you. I often heard Ru Lan say that her mother forced her to learn to be a female worker every day." Li An said speechlessly.

"Really?" Liu Waner looked at Li An suspiciously.

"Whether it's true or not, you can find out by asking Rulan yourself next time you see her." Li An shook his head and walked in.

He had previously discovered that the reason why Liu Waner and Ru Lan had a bad relationship was that, in addition to Ru Lan always talking about her legitimate daughter and concubine, Mo Lan was also very angry behind her back.
