Farming and reading family

Chapter 732 Secular

This sounded reasonable, but Gao E still didn't care.

Xu Boyan and the Tao family have a deep hatred. Given his personality, it is impossible for him to fall in love before taking revenge.

"He may have his own purpose, but it has nothing to do with love." Gao E was very sure.

Jin Ruyi stopped asking after hearing Gao E's words: "You sound like you know him very well."

Everyone in Qingtan Gorge slept late last night. After getting up and resting for a day, they found out that the Danyang Society might come to participate in the gathering.

Most people were quite excited that Danyang Society could come to participate in the Qingtan Yaji, and they were also very excited.

"What?" Huo Ji looked at Du Weiqing in surprise. "Are you going to compete with the Danyang Society in literary talent?"

"Yes." Du Weiqing smiled apologetically.

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Huo Ji looked unhappy.

"I just found out about this, too." Du Weiqing looked helpless as he recounted the Tao family's repeated attempts to force Gao E to buy her property. "We weren't in He County at the time, and she was forced into doing so."

"That's too much." Huo Ji was furious. "That Lu Yong, who boasts of being the most talented person in the world, actually joined the Tao family."

Du Weiqing sighed, "The Tao family is the local tyrant in Dancheng, and now they've come to bully people all the way to Hexian County."

"We were responsible for inviting people to this gathering, and she was responsible for the rest of the planning. Forget about the Tao family contacting her, but the Danyang Society came forward directly, and it was just when the gathering was about to start. I guess it was just a matter of time before things became like this." Du Weiqing spread his hands.

Huo Ji thought of what Gao E said. Although she was not a scholar, she was able to make a living for the people. But now she was bullied by scholars, which made them ashamed.

Du Weiqing saw that Huo Ji was silent, and thought there was a chance.

As long as Huo Ji can be convinced, even if some people do not want to be enemies with Danyang Society, there will definitely be people who stand with Huo Ji.

"It's just Lu Yong," Huo Ji said proudly. "We're always compared to each other, but we've never faced each other head-on. This is a perfect opportunity to see who's better."

Du Weiqing laughed when he heard Huo Ji say this: "We scholars, even if we make money, it is for us to use it, unlike people like Lu Yong, who are used by money."

Huo Ji nodded.

He didn't care about Du Weiqing's provocation, but he just didn't want people like Lu Yong to run rampant.

As long as Huo Ji nods, Du Weiqing can go and persuade others.

It was almost as he expected. Some people did not want to be enemies with Danyang Society, while some people were eager to meet Danyang Society.

"How can this be called an enemy? This is called a competition." Du Weiqing corrected him. "The Danyang Society will definitely look down on those who are not as good as them. If you are more talented this time, you will be looked up to by the Danyang Society."

Du Weiqing used to be so aloof and didn't care about anything, but now he is willing to say anything in order to build a college.

As long as you enter this secular world, no one can escape being worldly.

The affairs of the literati in Qingtan Gorge were left to Du Weiqing and others.

Chen Ke was simple. He only invited four people in total, and none of them cared about Danyang Society.

Whether people from Danyang Society come or not has no effect on them, they just recite poems and write lyrics.

This made Du Weiqing very envious. He used to think that the people Chen Ke invited were unknown, but now he felt that those three people should be extraordinary.

Gao E knew this would happen, so she didn't say anything to those who didn't want to be enemies with Danyang Society and treated them the same way.

"I heard that your man fell into the water after being frightened by a dancer." Ji Qiuniang went to chat with Gao E.

Although there were many literati in Qingtan Gorge, she preferred chatting with Gao E.

Gao E is a very boring person. No matter what we talk about, she always has to consider the daily necessities first. But when you talk to her, you can be very direct and frank, and you don't have to worry about being considered.

"How scary that dancer must be." Gao E laughed.

Ji Qiuniang had intended it to be a joke, but she didn't expect Gao E to respond like this: "Is it true that the Tao family forced you to buy your property?"

"Dan City is thousands of miles away. If they don't come here and find me, how could I have contact with the Tao family?" Gao E spread her hands.

Ji Qiuniang thought about it and said: "Why do I feel that you did it on purpose?"

"Let's go with the flow." Gao E said directly, "Besides, no one will suffer any loss."

"That being said, you can't be sure if some of these people want to curry favor with the Danyang Society," Ji Qiuniang reminded.

"That's Mr. Du's business. I will just make sure you guys have good food, good drink and good accommodation." Gao E said she would not ask about this.

Ji Qiuniang looked at Gao E and said, "This is quite expensive. How long have you been preparing for this?"

"About half a year." Gao E thought about the time she planned to hold the gathering. "Most of the ingredients are raised at home."

Ji Qiuniang felt that Gao E was good at planning. If such an elegant gathering was held in the city, it would cost at least 20,000 or 30,000 taels.

As the two were chatting, the children came back from school, lined up at the door to greet them, and then went back to the house to clean up and prepare for dinner.

Ji Qiuniang looked at the children in the yard.

She used to hate children very much. Each one was more naughty than the other and it gave her a headache when they made a fuss.

Seeing the Chen family's children being so well-behaved these past two days has changed her opinion of them, but that's just a change.

Gao E saw Ji Qiuniang staring at the children and asked, "Why not have a child while you're still young?"

Ji Qiuniang immediately retracted her gaze and said, "Why would I bother going through the gates of hell? I can just go home when I'm older and adopt a child to take care of me in my old age and see me to the end of my life."

"Why should other people's children take care of you in your old age and see you to the end of your life?" Gao E said angrily.

"You want my property." Ji Qiuniang said directly.

Gao E laughed. Rich people always seem so confident. "If you continue to live like this, you might squander your little fortune before you even have a child."

Ji Qiuniang glared at Gao E, then thought about the possibility and asked, "How do you run your business?"

"If a woman wants to run a business, she must first have a stable family." Gao E looked at Ji Qiuniang. "You are fearless now because your parents are still alive. Others dare not take advantage of you."

"Who dares!" Ji Qiuniang said domineeringly.

"Until it comes to that, naturally no one dares, but when it comes to that, everyone will dare." Gao E was very sure, "Don't test people's hearts."

Ji Qiuniang knew this truth, but she didn't expect to encounter it herself: "I can set up a female household."

"Of course I can." Gao E knew about the establishment of a female household. "Can you establish a female household smoothly?"

Ji Qiuniang thought about it seriously and fell silent.

"By that time, you won't have much affection with your clan members because you've been away from home for so many years, and you won't have many trustworthy people at home. When others divide up your things, they won't even discuss it with you," Gao E said with a smile.

Ji Qiuniang didn't even refute.

She had never thought about this problem before. She could go home whenever she wanted, and she could leave whenever she wanted even if she was away for half a year.

Thinking about my old life in the long run, it suddenly became heavy.

"I can show you a new way." Gao E looked at Ji Qiuniang mysteriously.
