Gu Chengyu touched his nose and let out a bitter laugh. He didn't know how his mother could have figured out the housing prices in the Capital in just a few days.
Gu Wanfang was startled upon hearing this, "This is five hundred Silver Taels!"
"I can't accept this; Little Uncle should take it back. It's too valuable."
Gu Chengyu waved his hand, "Don't say such polite words to me. We are of the same family, and more importantly, uncle and nephew. In the future when you're in official circles, people will naturally see us as one. You'll understand then. Besides, when you get married, if you don't even have a place to live, it would shame my reputation. There's no need to argue about this; it's late, go home now! Tomorrow come again for your studies."
This is the downside of ancient times; how Gu Wanqian fares is actually linked to Gu Chengyu.
Outsiders will surely say the nephew has no house outside while the uncle lives in such a big mansion, why not let the nephew stay?
