Chapter 5: Guo Ye is determined to make a name for himself

In recent days, whenever Guo Ye tells a story or a joke, whether it is a skit, a humorous anecdote, or Western works such as "One Thousand and One Nights," "Andersen's Fairy Tales," he always accompanies it with a brief yet insightful commentary on his perspectives and principles in dealing with people.

Having exited the living room, the maids and servants had long since departed, yet the steward, Uncle Fu, remained.

the fourth day

Yea ... ...

Uncle Fu leaned over quietly, placing the small stool on the ground and sitting down silently. He perked up his ears to listen to Guo Ye telling a story, fearing that he might forget a fragment of the plot and would not be able to recount it to his grandson later

As soon as these words were spoken, the servants and maids all turned pale and simultaneously exclaimed in shock, then hurriedly rose and scattered in all directions. In less than three breaths, they had vanished without a trace.

Upon seeing Guo Ye, the son-in-law, come out, Uncle Fu hurriedly ran forward and, smiling broadly, gave a thumbs-up to Guo Ye, praising, "Son-in-law, well done"

Guo Ye watched as the people around him departed without a trace, the bustling scene from just moments ago now a distant memory. Only the old butler, Fu Bo, remained, truly reflecting the fickleness of human relationships

Uncle Fu continued to ask, "Son-in-law, are you truly well-versed in the laws of the Tang Dynasty? That is quite an impressive skill."

Chunxiang walked over slowly, observing the servants squatting on the ground. The clustered maids showed no intention of leaving at all, causing her to lose face. With her cheeks puffed up, she glared and scolded, "The young lady has spoken. If you do not work properly and spend your days idling around, none of you will receive your wages for this month."

the third day

Uncle Fu felt particularly relieved after watching the impressive scene just now with Guo Ye, especially at the moment when Liu Amang, that scoundrel, left in such a disheveled state

At hetushu.com, I glanced at the mule cart beside the donkey and thought to myself, Wu Xiuxiu asked someone to invite me over and even told me to change into new clothes; what kind of trick is she trying to play?

Having spoken, without caring whether Guo Ye had understood or replied, he turned around and left directly

Cough, sigh...

Beside the mule cart stood a donkey, half the height of a person, with golden fur and two long ears erect. "Hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw," it brayed incessantly, while its two donkey eyes rolled towards Guo Ye, gazing over with a carefree demeanor.

Based on Guo Ye's familiarity gained from his recent experiences in the Wu family, he knew without turning around that the person calling out was Chunxiang, the personal maid beside Wu Xiuxiu

It is not that Uncle Fu has an interesting childlike heart, but rather that the stories told by Guo Ye are unprecedented. His little grandson at home is unable to get enough of them. Every time he returns home, if he does not recount a small segment, that mischievous little grandson of his will throw himself on the ground, roll around, and bang against the wall in a fit.

Guo Yewei slightly sat up from the rocking chair, signaling the jubilant maids and fans to be quiet. Then, she took a sip of tea from a small stone stool to moisten her throat and began to speak: "Once upon a time, in a distant country in the West, there was a ... ... "

It is evident that Guo Ye has brought Zhao Benshan and Fan Wei's "Selling the Crutch" back to ancient times, to the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty under the reign of Emperor Taizong during the Zhenguan period—specifically, the third year of Zhenguan.

As he spoke, he touched his sleeves and the waistband, finding them completely empty, having never seen what a money pouch looked like.

After listening to "Selling Crutches," many of the servants squatting on the ground began to discuss, not only criticizing Old Fan for being foolish but also commenting on Old Zhao for lacking great virtue.

Guo Ye could not help but sigh, "Money is the courage of a hero. Without money, one feels anxious and unable to move forward, let alone win people's hearts and gain their trust. Damn it, I must find a job to earn some silver; I can no longer live under the whims of the Wu family."

Infuriated, Guo Ye waved his hands behind Chunxiang, scratching like a claw.

Guo Ye was secretly furious, thinking to himself, "You, Wu Xiuxiu, just don't want me to live in peace. You aim to directly destroy my comfortable life at its roots."

After a while, Guo Yehuo hurriedly arrived at the Wu family's doorstep. He certainly did not want to be caught off guard by that troublesome girl Wu Xiuxiu for being late or anything like that

It seems that she is gradually overshadowing Wu Xiuxiu, the well-established young lady of the Wu family.

Are these people hardcore fans? They are just a bunch of zombie fans

Guo Ye realized that Uncle Fu was trying to awaken him. Indeed, Wu Xiuxiu was their benefactor, while I, Guo Ye, was merely a son-in-law living off the Wu family. I am nothing.

Guo Yewen was taken aback upon hearing this, thinking to himself, who knows what the laws of the Tang Dynasty look like

Just a moment ago, in the garden, he came to a realization. He believed that a true man should endure and accumulate strength, waiting for the right moment to soar to great heights, directly overturning that little vixen Wu Xiuxiu in bed, fiercely...

After expressing my astonishment, I immediately returned to my room to change into a clean outfit, quickly tidied myself up, and ran towards the front door

The Wu family and the Liu family have been longstanding rivals in Dongliu Township, engaged in a feud that has lasted for decades, with no clear victor.

A dozen or so maids and servants surrounded Guo Ye in layers, making it impossible for anyone to pass through. This clearly indicates the high popularity of the new son-in-law of the Wu family recently

And Wu Xiuxiu is the one who tested the powder, with just one sentence https://www.hetushu.com, she made Guo Ye's fans drop off cleanly in an instant

Suddenly, a burst of hearty laughter echoed from the backyard, where the autumn wind swept through, accompanied by both men and women, and the number of people was certainly not few

Guo Ye speculated that Wu Xiuxiu was still watching his figure from a distance, not daring to become overly complacent. He maintained a reserved demeanor and shyly smiled at Uncle Fu, then brushed off the dust from his shoulders and softly said: "This is nothing, just child's play."

Nevertheless, Guo Ye was also at a loss with Chunxiang, as she had encountered Wu Xiuxiu, a genuinely well-bred young lady

Which young girl does not yearn for spring? The fujoshi and the gossipers exist everywhere, at any time and place, even during the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty over a thousand years ago, they were omnipresent

Upon being gazed at by the black-eyed donkey, Guo Ye secretly praised in his heart, what a spirited donkey this is

Guo Ye was once again astonished by his so-called fans, damn it, is it really that easy for them to abandon loyalty

The servants squatted on the ground listening to the story, while the maids were also busy; some held fans, standing behind Guo Ye, gently fanning a cool breeze, while others were blowing on his shoulders. How could one not feel comfortable?

However, he did not provide much explanation to Uncle Fu, but instead drifted away lightly, his figure still so carefree and natural. As the gentle breeze brushed by, his garments fluttered in the wind, exuding a certain charm of a distinguished scholar.

Guo Ye noticed that his fans from the Wu family had also arrived in droves. He then cleared his throat lightly and said in a loud voice: "Alright, what we just discussed was a story about a con artist selling crutches. This story teaches us that one must be confident in oneself and not just listen to others' nonsense, taking every rumor at face value. Otherwise, you might be sold out and still count the money for someone else."

Seeing this, Uncle Fu lightly coughed twice and sighed, then earnestly said to Guo Ye: "Young master, do not blame Chunxiang, nor the servants just now. They are merely at the Wu family to earn a living, receiving a meager salary each month to support their families. Their benefactor is the young lady, not you. Do you think they would risk offending the young lady for your sake?"

On this day, the weather was pleasant, with a gentle autumn breeze rustling the willow trees in the backyard garden, their branches and leaves swaying and making a soft sound

In the days to come, the life of a son-in-law who enjoys a life of ease, where clothes are handed to him and meals are served, may be eagerly awaiting the arrival of Guo Ye...

After today's minor incident, given Uncle Fu's attitude, Guo Yegan can guarantee that at least in the eyes of the servants and maids of the Wu family estate, as well as the old steward, he has already established his position as the son-in-law in name.

Chunxiang slightly bowed to the old steward, Fu Bo, and greeted him, then walked up to Guo Ye and once again offered her best wishes, saying: "Young Master, the young lady is already at the gate of the Wu family. She asked the maid to inform you to quickly return to your room and change into clean clothes before coming to the gate of the Wu family."

Although Wu Xiuxiu has not shared a table with him for meals or a bed for sleeping since that day, this has not affected Guo Ye, who has been thriving at the Wu household, living a carefree life

Uncle Fu hurriedly carried a small stool the size of a child's chair towards the direction of the backyard garden

However, when he reached the entrance, Guo Ye was completely taken aback. A mule cart stood there, and the interior of the cart was quite uniquely decorated. Judging by the size of the cart, it seemed to be able to accommodate two or three people. From the sounds coming from inside the cart, it appeared to be Wu Xiuxiu and that troublesome maid, Chunxiang.

In recent days, anyone who has been following gossip news at the Wu family knows that during the lunchtime period on m.hetushu.com, Wu's son-in-law, Guo Ye, is certainly telling stories and cracking jokes again

Hearing the continuous adoration from the fans of the Wu family, they regard him as an idol and a trendsetter

Previously, in the living room, Liu Amang took the opportunity to assert his authority, and coupled with Guo Ye's soul originating from a future era, he never put on airs in front of the servants. Therefore, in just a few days, he mingled closely with the maids and servants in the residence, significantly increasing his popularity.

Hahaha ... ...

As soon as Guo Ye's voice fell, the maids, who had been waiting anxiously, began to leap with joy one by one. Compared to the male servants of the Wu family, they were more eager to hear tales of unwavering loyalty, poignant love, and intricate romances, even if they were fictional. Such stories would occasionally comfort their lonely hearts and fulfill their yearning for beautiful love.

Upon arriving there and taking a closer look, lo and behold, under the willow tree, Guo Ye was leisurely sitting on a rocking chair, swaying back and forth while animatedly telling stories

Ah ... ...

For four or five consecutive days, Guo Ye indeed lived a very leisurely and comfortable life

Seeing that Guo Ye did not speak, Uncle Fu did not take it to heart, and inwardly praised, the young master is indeed remarkable

Having finished speaking, he tapped his slightly stiff legs that had been perched on the small stool, picked up the small stool with one hand, and turned to leave Guo Ye, heading off to attend to matters concerning the Wu family.

On the second day

Then, Guo Ye glanced at the anxious maid fans of the Wu family and said leisurely: "Alright, now I will tell a story about the Frog Prince. One cannot simply please the brother while disregarding the sister's feelings, can one"

Among the entire Wu family courtyard, only this insufferable maid has been critical of him, failing to become a staunch fan of Guo Ye.

Suddenly, a sharp voice came from outside the garden: "Is it all just noise? Don't we have any work to do?"
