Chapter 408: A Promotion And A Raise (1/2)

Old Master Mo sat there and thought for a while before he said to Steward Zhong, “Go and give instructions that the Mo family is to be taken care of. Of course, Beihan’s career must be specially looked into. As for the Gu family, the third son in town should be promoted, as well as the second son.

“As for the eldest son, go and find out what his actual circumstances are and see if you can get them back. Even if you can’t, find some connections and get someone over there to take care of them.”

Steward Zhong immediately replied, “Yes, I’ll attend to it immediately.”

Grandma Mo looked at the information in her hand. “Do you have a photograph of the girl? Let me have a look at her.”

Old Master Mo laughed. “I don’t have a photograph. Beihan has been very secretive about her. But the other day, I secretly peeped at her. She’s very pretty. To be honest, just based on looks, the girls in the capital can’t hold a candle to her.”

Grandma Mo’s eyes brightened. “Really?”

“Mhm!”

Grandma immediately smiled. “No wonder Beihan likes her so much.”

Old Master Mo: “…”

Why did her words seem a little odd?

Winter arrived.

Gu Qingyao was already wearing a woolen jumper. She had just returned from Mo Beihan’s house and was carrying a basket with a lamb chop and a cabbage.

Today, Third Uncle and Third Brother were home early. They were both smiling and looked pleased.

They came home at the same time as Gu Qingyao.

Gu Jinlin looked at his family and smiled. “We both have good news. Let’s have something nice to eat to celebrate.”

He and his father had passed the grocery store on their way home and had bought a fish, and two kilograms of meat. They had ordered these yesterday, or they could not possibly have obtained such things at this time.

“What’s the good news?” Gu Qingyao looked expectant.
