Quick Transmigration: My Host's Darling Little Darling

Upon hearing the sound, Sheng Yuan and Lin Nan both looked up.

[Host, this is a villager paying back rent; the two main characters are here too!]

“It must be the person who came to pay the rent. I’ll go take a look,” Sheng Yuan said to Lin Nan.

Lin Nan didn't want him to leave her sight, so she quickly followed and said, "My husband and I are together."

After hearing this, Shengyuan took his hand and led him to the courtyard gate.

Several men were anxiously waiting outside the courtyard gate.

The He family and the Gu family are different.

Among He's mother's dowry was an ancestral shop, the one that the original owner had sold.

He's father also owned a considerable amount of land.

Therefore, the He family was not very poor, which was completely different from the Gu family.

The Gu family was very poor, and Gu Cheng only had money to go to school because of the Gu family, the father of the protagonist Gu Ze.

Gu Er was a hunter, so although he didn't own any land, he still had some money, so he decided to send his son, who had never been in good health, to school.

The Gu family did not split up.

When Gu Da's family heard that Gu Er was going to send his child to school, they immediately made a fuss, demanding that Gu Er also support their son's education.

For the sake of Gu Ze's reputation, Gu Er had no choice but to agree to their demands.

Before his death, he secretly left a large sum of money for his son, but after Gu Er's death, Gu Ze only had his eldest uncle's family left, so he trusted them a lot.

They took out the money and spent it together.

In fact, most of that money was given to Gu Dajia for his own use.

Since the original owner, He Zhao, never cared about the rent, everyone thought that buying land was not as good as the status quo. They pretended it was their own land, and no one would know that, so there was no need to waste money buying land.

They were simply trying to get something for nothing.

This method is good, provided that He Xiucai is still the same He Xiucai and Gu Ze is still the same Gu Ze.

Sheng Yuan opened the courtyard gate, and the group of people were very anxious.

After hearing what Scholar He said yesterday, I immediately went to raise the money.

After all, nobody wants to deal with the government unless absolutely necessary.

"Scholar He, we've come to pay the rent. Um... we're all from the same village, so we can talk things over!"

"Yes, yes, we're all from the same village, we can talk things over!"

"Yes yes yes..."

Sheng Yuan laughed and said, "Of course, as long as we are reasonable, everything can be discussed. Please come in and talk."

"Good good..."

Sheng Yuan led them to the main room, and Lin Nan should have avoided them at this time.

Sheng Yuan said, "My husband, study hard. I will be studying in the future, and I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to manage the family property and shops."

Sheng Yuan didn't expect Nan Bao to learn these things. He said this for two reasons: first, to establish his authority over Lin Nan, and second, to hope that Lin Nan could learn some principles and methods of self-protection, so that he wouldn't be so naive as to be easily fooled.

Once the family fortune has grown, these hard and tiring jobs will naturally be handed over to Nuonuo, unless Nanbao likes it.

Lin Nan sat obediently next to Sheng Yuan, watching him act.

Sheng Yuan taught very slowly, and Lin Nan learned very diligently.

The people around dared not express their dissatisfaction, lest someone get angry and file a complaint with the authorities.

“There’s one more thing: I’m not renting any of these lands anymore,” Sheng Yuan said.

Why did you suddenly decide not to rent it anymore?

"Yeah, why didn't you rent it out?"

Sheng Yuan simply said, "Now that I have married, this land is naturally meant to support my husband and me."

Seeing that there was no room for maneuver in the matter, everyone had no choice but to accept it.

These people finished their business, returned the money, and left.

Although the Gu family was unwilling, they had no choice but to pay the money.

Gu Da wants to sell this land using his brother's money.

So Gu Ze and Shen Yunzhao both came.

Sheng Yuan had no intention of paying attention to Gu Da, so he simply said he wouldn't sell.

He knew perfectly well why Gu Da insisted on buying this land. It was because Gu Cheng had lied to Chen Ju, the man he was discussing marriage with, saying that his family owned land and even revealed its location. So, if they didn't acquire this land, the marriage might fall through.

There's a saying: "It's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage."

But what does this have to do with Guan Shengyuan?

Seeing that Sheng Yuan refused, Gu Da had no choice but to try to back out, but Sheng Yuan said that if he dared to back out, he would report him to the authorities.

Forcibly breaking into a private residence will result in fines and a beating.

Gu Da immediately backed down and tried to pull Gu Ze away in a huff, but then Sheng Yuan spoke up.

“Didn’t you say the other day that you were preparing for the imperial examination? I have some books here that you can use for the examination, a total of four taels of silver. If you want them, come with me,” Sheng Yuan said to Gu Shuqiao.

Gu Shuqiao understood the meaning behind his words, so he nodded and followed.

Shen Yunzhao wanted to stay and wait for her husband.

Sheng Yuan wanted him to get to know Nan Bao.

He then said, "Could you let your husband, Mr. Gu, accompany you? I heard from Gu Shuqiao that your husband is literate."

When Lin Nan heard that Gu Fulang could read, his eyes lit up instantly, and he nodded quickly.

Gu Fulang is so amazing!

Lin Nan noticed that the couple, Gu Shuqiao and Shen Yunzhao, were about the same height as each other, and Lin Nan was about the same height as her husband.

He was the shortest, and if he were as strong as Gu Fulang, the Lin family wouldn't dare to hit him.

But none of that matters now; he has his husband to protect him.

Thinking about it, she looked up and smiled at Sheng Yuan.

Sheng Yuan smiled and patted his head.

"Please trouble you to stay and keep my husband company for a while, my brother Gu Shuqiao has some things to discuss."

Shen Yunzhao subconsciously bowed to Sheng Yuan and said, "I dare not accept such praise. I also wish to have a good chat with your husband."

Since this young man has an unusual background and looks somewhat similar to him, getting close to him might help him find his own past and memories.

Sheng Yuan nodded and led Gu Shuqiao to the study.

Gu Da had no choice but to slink away.

Shen Yunzhao looked at the young man in front of him. The clothes he was wearing looked expensive, and his skin was a tanned wheat color, but his face was handsome, just a bit thin.

He had heard from the villagers that this young man was the eldest son of the Lin family next door, but he was a cursed son who brought misfortune to his relatives, so he probably didn't have a good life.

"Please sit down." Lin Nan noticed that Gu Fulang was looking at him and seemed a little awkward, so he invited him to sit down.

He sat on the other side of the table, where Sheng Yuan had placed the land deed and receipts. Lin Nan wanted to understand these things, so he picked up a pen and paper and started writing and drawing.

Shen Yunzhao looked at Lin Nan's hand holding the pen. There was a red birthmark on the back of his hand, with several scars on it, but it was still vaguely recognizable as a red birthmark.

Shen Yunzhao felt that the birthmark looked strangely familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

My head hurts so much, it hurts terribly.

Shen Yunzhao held his head, curled up, and scrunched up his face.

"Gu Fulang! Gu Fulang! Gu Fulang! What's wrong? Hang in there, I'll go find a doctor for you!" Lin Nan was writing when he suddenly heard someone groaning in pain. He looked up and saw Gu Fulang holding his head, looking very painful. He quickly got up.

Just as he was about to go find a doctor, Shen Yunzhao reached out and stopped him, saying, "I'm fine, you don't need to find a doctor."

"But..." Is it really okay? His face doesn't look like he's alright at all.

Seeing that she didn't believe him, Shen Yunzhao said, "It's really nothing. I just remembered something. I've seen your birthmark before."

"What?" This birthmark had always been a bad omen for him...

"I think I need to find Scholar He and my husband."

So Lin Nan helped Shen Yunzhao to the study.

Inside the study, Sheng Yuan handed Gu Shuqiao several books about scientific expeditions.

"Go back and read these books carefully. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me."

"Thank you." Gu Shuqiao took the book and asked, "What is Brother He's plan?"

"To have a voice in front of the powerful, all you need is money and power. As for money, Gu Di used to be the president of the Gu Group, so it's not difficult for him. I'll invest the capital, Gu Di will manage it, and I only need 30% of the profits."

Sheng Yuan didn't want to put all his money on the protagonist, but as the protagonist, he should be lucky enough to make money quickly and easily, and he should also encounter some rich but foolish people with cheat codes in the process.

"can."

Gu Shuqiao doesn't have a lot of capital, so starting a business is extremely difficult. It's a good thing that someone is helping him now.

"As for power, I have other ways to handle it, so you don't need to worry."

Gu Shuqiao nodded, and then the two began to discuss the details.

Then we heard a knock on the door.
