Chapter 425 Uncle and nephew meet
The second brother assigned by Gu Dafu was also very dedicated and kept an eye on the movements of the convoy.
As soon as he saw such a long convoy leaving the palace, he immediately became happy.
I finally did not earn this money in vain, and he was keeping an eye on it. This way, when the guest comes to ask, I will have an explanation for him.
He quickly memorized the time and waited for Gu Dafu to come and ask.
Gu Dafu felt that this day was extremely torturous. He had been sitting in the teahouse for almost a whole day.
I didn't do anything today. I spent half a silver dollar just to get some information.
He was reluctant to eat out again, but was afraid of missing the returning convoy, so he stayed in the teahouse drinking tea and eating melon seeds.
Just when Gu Dafu and others were about to give up, they saw a familiar convoy from afar, heading towards the post station.
"Waiter, check out the bill!" Gu Dafu suddenly shouted excitedly.
The waiter who was dozing off at the table was instantly awakened by the noise.
When he saw it was the customer who had been sitting there all day, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he had finally left. It seemed like he would have occupied his shop all day.
He was reluctant to order a plate of dim sum, and just kept eating those worthless melon seeds without wasting a finger. Finally, we have to leave! The waiter complained in his heart.
Gu Dafu couldn't wait any longer for the slow waiter, so he gritted his teeth, put a dime on the table and paid for the tea and melon seeds.
He couldn't wait to get the change for the rest, so he quickly rushed out of the teahouse and ran towards the convoy.
The smart butlers driving the carriage naturally did not know Gu Dafu and had no intention of stopping.
"Uncle Dahai! Uncle Dahai! Is that you?" Gu Dafu shouted towards the vehicle.
At this time, there were not as many people on the street as there were yesterday, and Gu Dafu shouted quite loudly, so Gu Dahai and the others heard it.
"Zhi Zhong, stop the car!" Gu Dahai ordered.
Upon hearing this, Zhizhong obediently stopped the carriage. Seeing this, the carriages behind also stopped.
When Gu Dafu saw the carriage stopped, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that it was really them!
The car curtain was lifted, revealing the faces of Gu Dahai and the boys.
Although that face looked much younger and fairer than before, it was undoubtedly Gu Dahai.
Gu Dahai also saw Gu Dafu below.
However, Gu Dafu looked much older than before, and his clothes were very simple.
"Dafu? Is that you?" Gu Dahai asked.
Gu Dafu was so happy that he almost cried. He nodded repeatedly and said with a smile, "It's me, it's me, Uncle Dahai, it really is you. I thought I was seeing things yesterday!"
"You saw us yesterday? That's what I told you! I vaguely heard someone calling me yesterday and I thought I had heard it wrong. Turns out it was you." Gu Dahai said happily.
The other members of the Gu family in the other carriages also stuck their heads out, and when they saw that it was Gu Dafu, they all got off the carriage.
Then they asked the smart butlers to drive the car to settle down first, and they walked towards the post station with Gu Dafu.
As they walked, the group chatted about their recent situation.
Gu Dafu is a businessman, so his eloquence is naturally impeccable.
He then recounted the thrilling and twists and turns that happened to them along the way.
The young men of the Gu family listened to this and felt that it was both thrilling and exciting. They wished they could do it again and personally join the team of their fellow tribesmen to experience it for themselves.
The family learned that Gu Dafu had never abandoned them or given up on them, and brought them to the capital safely.
Moreover, they were settled in Beijing, and the Gu family was very pleased and admired Gu Dafu.
Gu Dafu doesn't have a sister like them as a golden finger.
It was all thanks to an ordinary person, who brought a group of people, young and old, and traveled thousands of miles without any harm, and brought everyone to the capital and settled them down.
Gu Dafu's ability is evident from this.
Moreover, the entire Dagu Village was able to escape danger thanks to Gu Dafu who came back to deliver the message. They should all be grateful to him.
"You did a great job! And you took good care of the tribesmen." Gu Dahai praised.
"I'm so ashamed, nephew! Although I brought them to Beijing safely, Fifth Grandpa is still sick. He has been in poor health over the years and now he can only recuperate in the house." Gu Dafu said with shame.
Fifth Grandpa is usually a carefree person. He doesn't like to worry and loves to play and be lively. But he fell ill and now he can only stay in his room all day long, which makes him feel suffocated.
But they were short of money, could not use good medicine, could not hire good doctors, so they could only endure like this.
Whenever he thought of this, he felt uncomfortable.
Now that he can see Uncle Dahai and the others again, I think Fifth Grandpa must be in a good mood.
Just as I was thinking this, I heard Gu Dahe ask.
"What symptoms does Uncle Wu have? Tell me in detail. I have also learned some medical skills over the years, so maybe I can cure him." Gu Dahai said.
Gu Dafu was naturally happy to hear this, and hurriedly told him in detail about Fifth Grandpa's symptoms and what the doctor said when he took his pulse.
After hearing the description, Gu Dahai had an idea in his mind.
While chatting, everyone had arrived at the courtyard where the Gu family lived.
Everyone sat down and the butler served tea and snacks.
Gu Dafu went to the toilet several times out of embarrassment before he could sit down comfortably.
Seeing him like this, Gu Dahai guessed the reason and kept persuading him to try some snacks.
Gu Dafu had not eaten anything for the whole day and had only been drinking tea, so he was indeed hungry and obediently ate many snacks.
He was also shocked during this meeting. He didn't expect that Gu Dahai and the others had changed so much.
It turned out that when he was in Dagu Village, he had some prestige among the clan members because he had been doing business outside for many years and had a small fortune.
Whenever something goes wrong, he is the one who takes the lead.
At that time, everyone in Uncle Dahai's family had their own talents.
But apart from Uncle Dajiang, Uncle Dahai is a cold and serious person who doesn't like to talk much. He usually goes into the mountains to hunt.
Uncle Dahe, as the youngest son in the family, always relies on his brothers for everything. He is a quiet person who works hard and doesn't like to talk.
Seeing them today, their temperaments and personalities have changed dramatically.
He couldn't help but be curious, so he asked, "Uncle Dahai, what have you experienced along the way? How come the three uncles look so much younger?"
"Haha, we have indeed had some adventures over the years..."
As he spoke, Gu Dahai briefly described what had happened to his family.
Of course, this encounter is embellished.
Gu Dahai said that when they entered the deepest part of the outer forest, they encountered several monkeys. The monkeys stole their straw hats. They chased them all the way and found a valley, where they settled down.
Then, by chance, they met the son of the county magistrate who was taking refuge in the mountains, and the royal relatives who were hiding there. They brought these people back to the valley, formed a bond with them, and learned some skills. This time they left the valley, they also wanted to use what they had learned to serve the court.
