my grandmother

Chapter 268 Preparation
Gu Yan sent Li Xiaonan away, walked slowly around the yard a few times, and ordered Mr. Zhou to come to the study to talk.

Zhou Chennian arrived very quickly.

Gu Yan signaled Zhou Chennian to sit down, and said bluntly: "Something happened."

Zhou Chennian suddenly became nervous and looked at Gu Yan with breathless breath.

"Aniang probably knows about Miss Li. My marriage can't be delayed any longer. I plan to go back with Miss Li and come back after I've dealt with this matter." Gu Yan didn't look at Zhou Shennian.

Zhou Chennian was extremely surprised, he never expected that something would happen, it turned out to be this matter, let alone that Gu Yan would rush back to Jianle City for this.

"My lord, we are at a critical juncture to clean up the Customs Department. If you leave, won't you give up halfway?"

"Sir, please come here to discuss how to stabilize the clean-up of the Customs Department." Gu Yan looked at Zhou Shennian.

"How can you be stable when the eldest son is not here?" Zhou Chennian was a little annoyed, for the sake of his children's personal relationship, he actually wanted to abandon military affairs, what an idiot!
"Mister also knows that Ms. Li and I are very happy with each other. If I don't go back quickly, Ms. Li and I will have to live apart. I will face a woman I don't want to marry in my life, and Ms. Li is afraid of losing her life. If this is the case, it would be too tragic, isn't it? If the matter of cleaning up the customs department can be properly arranged, it may not be possible to delay it." Gu Yan bowed slightly, extremely sincerely.

Zhou Chennian stayed for a moment, sighed and nodded.

Gu Yan was slightly surprised, he didn't expect to convince Zhou Chennian so easily.

"How does the Master plan to delay? Continue to advance, just at a slow speed, or temporarily stop?" Zhou Shennian asked.

"What do you mean, sir?" Gu Yan asked back.

"I think it's not appropriate to stop, but if we want to continue to advance, Huang Xianzhou alone will definitely not work."

"Sir, I've talked with that Mr. Ge a few times. What do you think of Jiang Jianrong? Is it available?" Gu Yan smiled, and the suggestion to move forward coincided with his plan.

"Mr. Ge is meticulous and cautious, and Jiang Caosi is also a careful person. If he thinks a little too much, he is afraid of wandering back and forth." Zhou Shennian frowned.

"I'm not afraid of his hesitation." Gu Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said with a smile: "Let the master take care of it, how about it?"

"Mr. Dongxi wants to accept Miss Li as an apprentice, what is Shizi's plan?" Zhou Shennian didn't answer, but asked instead.

"Ah Nan doesn't want to be a teacher, and I don't think it's necessary." Gu Yan replied bluntly.

Zhou Chennian frowned, "If this is the case, Mr. Dongxi has to make some arrangements. The matter of the Sea Taxation Department continues to advance. The various academies, various cultural associations, etc., must have received a lot of funding from the silk industry. Affected, if Mr. Dongxi is in the south of the Yangtze River, he will definitely not stand idly by. If the scholars make trouble, or have other people's sentiments, then..."

Gu Yan frowned.

Zhou Chennian also frowned, for a moment, his eyes sparkled, and he said in a low voice: "It's better to use the matter of apprenticeship to lure Mr. Dongxi to accompany him to the north."

"If Dongxi goes north, sir, it is not appropriate to stay in the south of the Yangtze River. Then the customs department..." Gu Yan answered the words very quickly, paused for a moment, and then said: "Well, there is one more person... That's it, Dongxi Everything over there is arranged by Mr. Jiang Jianrong. Here, Mr. Jiang sees Mr. Ge, so you might as well speak clearly. Before I leave, I will see Jiang Jianrong again."

"Okay. When is the Master planning to leave?" Zhou Shennian stood up and asked again.

"The sooner the better, within ten days." Gu Yan followed and stood up.

"Okay." Zhou Chennian was puzzled, he set off within ten days, it was too urgent, was it just because of marriage?

Yao Wu and Wang Yuting ran for a day, returned to the inn in the evening, and touched Li Jinzhu.

Seeing the three people coming in, Mrs. Yin hurriedly lifted the teapot from the warm nest and poured three cups of tea.

"I have asked all over the weaving workshops in Hangzhou, big and small. Some of them have heard of fine cloth that is finer than silk, that is, I have heard of it, and I have never even heard of it. I don't know who can weave it. This kind of fine cloth." Ah Wu sat down and picked up a cup to drink tea.

"We said that we need fine cloth that is finer than silk, and they asked why we didn't use silk. They said that we want to weave fine cloth that is finer than silk. The fine cloth would be as expensive as silk, so why not use silk? I think it's quite right. "Yuting continued.

Li Jinzhu looked dignified, silent for a moment, looked at Sister-in-law Yin and said, "We are not looking for this weaver. At the beginning, Ah Nan said that she wanted to do this fine cloth business, and she wanted to make fine cloth that everyone could weave. The fine cloth should be cheap and good." , everyone can afford it, not to weave fine cloth that is finer and more expensive than silk, this is the wrong way, we don’t do business like Guijinfang anymore.”

"The price of Guijinfang... Forget it, Yuting is right, even if it can be woven, it is too expensive, so don't do it if you don't want to do it." Yin's sister-in-law thought about the price offered by Guijinfang, and her heart ached. Waving his hands, "You are all starving, let's go down to eat first."

"Wait." Li Jinzhu looked at Yuting and Ah Wu, "Do you know where Ah Nan lives?"

Yuting and Ah Wu nodded together.

"Then you go to Ah Nan and bring your luggage and horses." Li Jinzhu continued.

"What's the matter?" Sister-in-law Yin blurted out.

"Hurry up." Li Jinzhu urged Yuting and Ah Wu first.

Ah Wu jumped up, "Pack up your things, I'll lead the horse!"

Yuting looked at Li Jinzhu, saw Li Jinzhu waving at her, and hurried in to pack her things.

"What happened?" Sister Yin sat down next to Li Jinzhu.

"A'nan said that she is going to build Le City with the fourth wife of the Wei family and the eldest son, and they will leave in two days." Li Jinzhu said with downcast eyes.

"Ah!" Sister-in-law Yin screamed, "What happened? What happened?"

"It is said that it is the marriage of the eldest son in the palace. Let's not talk about it. From now on, our business depends on ourselves." Li Jinzhu suppressed the anxiety and worry in his heart.

"Is this my little daughter-in-law going to see her uncle? This is a good thing! What a good thing!" Sister-in-law Yin was also full of apprehension, she raised her voice slightly to comfort Li Jinzhu, and also to reassure herself.

"Let's not talk about this!" Li Jinzhu said forcefully.

"Okay, okay. Let's not talk. Let's, yes, let's go to eat, we have to eat! Let's eat, then Ah Wu... I'm too talkative, let's go to eat! What do you want to eat? Just the two of us, one dish is enough It's gone." Yin's sister-in-law spoke incoherently and kept talking, suppressing the unspeakable fear and excitement in her heart.

..............................

Wangfu Bieye.It was just dawn, and Gu Yan, surrounded by guards and servants, left the gate of Bieye and rode straight to Linhai Town.

At the gate of the small courtyard next to the Gongyuan where Li Xiaonan lived, Ah Wu led her and Yuting's two precious horses out, got on the horses, and went straight to Lijiaji in Kunshan County.
