Chapter 149: Important matters are said three times
After seeing someone targeting Gu Qingheng in the gambling house, Gu Yu couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows, wondering if his brother-in-law was living incognito here.
Otherwise, knowing that Gu Qingheng was from the Gu Residence, no one would dare to speak to him like that.
Thinking this, Gu Yu directly looked at Gu Qingheng next to him, wondering what his brother-in-law would do next.
“Dog Third, I’m not eating your rice, why are you so nosy? Didn’t you chase out by Brother Liu with a stick last time because you were blinded by gambling and had no silver in your pocket?”
Just as Gu Yu cast his gaze over, Gu Qingheng rolled his eyes at the man and started arguing with him.
Now, with his brother-in-law standing by, this guy still dared to say these things, truly unaware of how to write the word “death.”
After all, Gu Yu was the most protective.
Tsk tsk, they really took advantage of him when he usually ignored these guys.
However, it was because he was kind-hearted.
It’s better to resolve these people before his brother-in-law makes a move!
“You kid are really sharp-tongued, I was just temporarily short of funds, look at this!”
The man called Dog Third by Gu Qingheng sneered dismissively, then raised his hand and took out a not-small silver ingot from his pocket.
Seeing the silver appear, the people gambling around stopped, their eyes filled with envy. They didn’t know where Dog Third had gotten his wealth to be so rich all of a sudden!
He was so poor just a few days ago that he was almost begging with a stick, and now he directly took out such a large silver ingot!
Perhaps he did some stealing and pickpocketing to get so much silver… Stealing and pickpocketing wasn’t a big deal, the most important thing was not to get them involved, and not to get the gambling house involved.
Otherwise, without the gambling house to bet in, their lives would lose their joy.
“Dog Third, where did you get your unexpected wealth?”
“Could it be that the lover you mentioned a few days ago, her husband died, so…”
“No, no, no, I think Dog Third sold his backside, after all, he’s not bad-looking, and many people in the capital like that kind of thing!”
“Tsk tsk, your taste is really heavy. How do you know something like this?”
“Quick, quick, quick, tell your brothers about finding wealth, let’s get rich together!”
After Dog Third showed the silver ingot, before Gu Qingheng could say anything, the people around couldn’t help but open their mouths, each guessing where Dog Third had gotten his wealth.
And seeing the envious gazes from everyone, Dog Third’s face became even more smug, almost as if he were looking down at everyone with his nostrils.
It felt so good to show off in front of others!
“Heh heh, you all guessed wrong, I personally earned this silver!”
“Earned it? How is that possible? You have no proper skills, you’re only proficient in stealing chickens and dogs, and sneaking into widows’ doors, how could you earn so much silver!”
“Go, go, go, what do you mean by sneaking into widows’ doors, that’s my old flame! As for this silver, I don’t need to hide it from you anymore, it’s a one-time profitable deal anyway.”
“Alright, alright, just tell us quickly!”
After that, before Dog Third could continue to brag, the people around couldn’t wait any longer.
They all started urging him, wishing they could pry open Dog Third’s mouth to hear about this money-making venture!
If they could get involved, wouldn’t they also be able to make money like Dog Third!
“I’ll say it, I’ll say it, okay! Actually, it’s not difficult… A few days ago, Gu Yu from the Gu Residence was sitting in residency at Yu Ning Medical Hall, the silver I earned is…”
“Wait, that’s not right! When Doctor Gu was in residency, I also queued up to get examined, and no one dared to cut the line, how did you earn money from it?”
“Wait until I finish, the money was made afterwards! After Gu Yu finished treating patients, there were all sorts of rumors about him in the capital, some of which targeted Gu Yu… At that time, I had no work, so someone pulled me to publicize Gu Yu’s good deeds all over the streets. I did this for three full days, and they gave me this big silver ingot.”
When Dog Third spoke again, Gu Yu couldn’t help but be stunned by his words, never expecting that this silver was actually given by him.
For a moment, Gu Yu felt a bit subtle.
However, it was precisely because Gu Yu had the money to publicize that he received rave reviews, completely suppressing the remarks that intended to slander Gu Yu.
After all, the difference between ordinary players and paying players was huge.
When Gu Qingheng heard Dog Third’s words, his expression was also a little surprised, not expecting that this silver ingot was actually given by his brother-in-law.
So, was Dog Third’s showing off successful now?
“So it was Gu Yu who gave the silver. No wonder, I’ve heard a lot of unofficial news lately saying that Gu Yu made a fortune selling medicine this time!”
“Selling medicine?”
“I don’t know what kind of medicine it is, but it’s probably not ordinary if it can make these big masters in the capital keep their mouths shut. Perhaps it’s a good medicine that can increase lifespan or make things last longer, who knows.”
“Alas, it’s truly a case of comparing people to death. Look at Gu Yu, then look at us, there’s no comparison at all.”
“Heh heh, you have to have a good appearance first, otherwise, you wouldn’t be directly favored by the young lady of the Gu Residence and become the son-in-law who lives with the wife’s family.”
“Hmph, just a son-in-law who lives with the wife’s family, do you have to praise him so much!”
After Dog Third revealed the source of the silver, the people around immediately started chattering, their ears ringing with the name Gu Yu, and they were filled with admiration.
Although he was just a son-in-law who married into his wife’s family, he was still amazing!
It’s just that his starting point was a little low, but as a village youth, to be able to achieve this today was truly a remarkable talent.
“Qingheng, did you drag me here just to listen to people praising me?”
“Of course not, I was just interrupted by Dog Third… It seems we can’t continue like this, I’ll say it now!”
“You should have said it earlier, why did you have to bring me here!”
“Atmosphere! Atmosphere! Atmosphere! Important matters are said three times, brother-in-law, you don’t know the importance of atmosphere.”
Afterward, hearing Gu Qingheng finally about to speak, Gu Yu was filled with curiosity.
What could it be?
“Didn’t you provoke various nobles in the capital before, forcing them to hide at home and dare not come out! Now someone is publicly taking the lead and preparing to condemn you! Moreover, they are preparing to set up traps in various gambling houses to bet on whether you will go to jail… However, it seems that not many people know about it yet, and it should still be in the planning stage.”
Subsequently, listening to Gu Qingheng’s words, Gu Yu couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.
These guys, they really know how to play!
However, it seemed like a good opportunity to make money.
