The servants reported Huo Sijiu's visit to Guanshi Gu.

"Young master ordered the young one to go to the palace to inform the eldest lady and young miss when they return home. The young one complied."

After the servant finished speaking, he took out the purse rewarded by Huo Sijiu, "This is rewarded by the young master."

"Ah."

Steward Gu glanced at the purse, "Since it was given to you by the young master, you should share it yourself."

As for what the servant promised, it's not a big deal.

Master Huo Xiaohou is the apprentice of the second master, so it is only natural to want to visit the eldest sister-in-law that his master has found.

Gu Qinhan respectfully called him Uncle Gu, and Huo Sijiu respected him for it, but it still couldn't change the fact that he was a slave.

He couldn't say to stop it, and he couldn't stop it.

Manager Gu thinks clearly.

Asked the servants to put away the purse, and then looked at the two baskets of persimmons in the village, "These are just picked by the eldest lady and the eldest lady, and you just brought them back to the mansion to share."

Yanjing is rich in persimmons, so persimmons can't be called precious things, but the master picked them himself, so the meaning is naturally different.

The servants bowed down, called for help, carried the persimmon onto the carriage, and then returned to Gu's mansion.

Manager Gu went to the kitchen. Seeing that lunch was almost ready, he found a walking stick and went up the mountain to find Su Mo and the others.

After all, Guanshi Gu is getting old, and the sun is so strong today that he is out of breath all the way up the mountain.

Standing under the shade of a tree with a cane, he wiped off the sweat from his face with his sleeve, and then looked at Gu Xingnian, the smile in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

The little girl was happily eating a persimmon, her cheeks were stained with juice, she looked like a little cat.

Manager Gu held back his smile and said, "Madam, Missy, it's time to go down the mountain for lunch."

Su Mo put the picked persimmons into the basket, then glanced at the sky through the branches, "It's already noon."

Now that the persimmons are picked, the time flies by quite quickly.

"Don't pick it, go down the mountain to eat."

Su Mo wiped off her sweat, then looked at Gu Xingnian who had just finished eating the persimmons, took out her handkerchief, and wiped her face clean.

"Okay, the persimmons are cold, don't eat them anymore."

Gu Xingnian blinked, touched her round belly, but didn't object, and obediently followed Su Mo down the mountain.

But before leaving, she looked at Mrs. Wang, and said with a serious look: "The persimmons I picked must be put away, I will take them back and give them away!"

Gu Xingnian didn't just eat but didn't pick. She picked a small basket, and she still thought about it while picking.

First think of the eldest brother, pick six, then think of the second brother, pick six.

And Brother Qingzhou, Gu Qinhan who has changed from uncle to uncle, Grandpa in charge, Grandpa Huang...

She was impartial, and everyone picked six of them.

Mrs. Wang suppressed a smile and nodded in response, "Miss, don't worry, the old servant is watching."

Satisfied, Gu Xingnian turned her head, led Su Mo, and walked down the mountain with her calves.

In addition to the persimmons all over the mountain, Zhuangzi also has many fields and fields.

The rice in the field had been harvested for less than two months, and the cook specially used new rice for cooking, and the vegetables were also picked in the field, so they were very fresh.

In addition, the chickens and ducks raised in the village were also killed, and a lamb was also slaughtered, which was kept for roasting lamb at night.

Gu Xingnian looked at the table full of dishes, and suddenly regretted eating so many persimmons on the mountain just now.

The little mouth is pouted, sullen.

Seeing this, Steward Gu leaned over to her ear and told her the news about the roasted lamb that night.

The little girl's eyes lit up immediately.

Although in Luoshan Village before, Su Mo had raised a milk-producing ewe, which was slaughtered and eaten during the Chinese New Year.

But it was winter at that time, and Su Mo thought about stewing the mutton for nourishment, so after giving a few portions to the village chief and the others, the remaining mutton was stewed for eating.

She hasn't tasted this roast lamb yet!
The little girl licked her lips and began to look forward to the arrival of night.

After lunch, Gu Xingnian was led by Fei Cui to stroll nearby to digest food.

Manager Gu told Su Mo about Huo Sijiu's visit to Gu's mansion.

"... This Young Master Huo is the apprentice of the Second Master and the nephew of the current Holy Majesty, so it is reasonable to know about you.

The young master has always respected the second master, and when he comes to the mansion in the future, for the sake of the second master, he will also respect his wife a little, so you don't have to worry about other things, madam, just come to visit as your own junior. "

Master of Heaven and Earth.

Huo Sijiu lost his mother since he was a child, and his father escaped into Buddhism because of this. Although he was loved by his grandfather and uncle, he still longed for his father's love.

Although Gu Qinhan was only a few years older than him, after Gu Qinhan accepted him as his apprentice, he did not indulge him without a bottom line like his grandfather and uncle because of his identity and background.

Instead, he strictly disciplined him, taught him, and even personally taught him martial arts...

But when something happened, he would go to him to save him as soon as possible, protect him behind him, and let him use the name of the black armor guard to pretend to be a tiger...

It can be said that the appearance of Gu Qinhan filled the vacancy in Huo Sijiu's life as a father.

Huo Sijiu placed Gu Qinhan's position extremely high, and naturally treated Gu Qinhan's family members as if they were his own.

If this treats him too politely, Huo Sijiu will feel uncomfortable instead.

Manager Gu knew it all in his heart.

Su Mo still had a little impression of Huo Sijiu.

He was the one who bought his own tiger when he was in Huzhou.

Of course, Su Mo remembered that it wasn't because of this, but because of Huo Sijiu's extravagant spending, and any reward he got was gold.

It's just that I don't know if the arrogant and pampered young man still remembers what happened back then.

Although I have dressed up in disguise, but only smeared my face yellow, if I still have the impression, I can still recognize it by comparing the eyebrows and eyes carefully.

But this is probably impossible.

For a noble child like Huo Sijiu, at that time, she could not even be called a passer-by in his life, so how could she still have an impression.

Su Mo shook her head slightly, put aside her wild thoughts, and nodded towards Gu Guanshi, "I see."

Gu Guanshi already knew what kind of temperament his eldest lady was. Seeing this, he didn't say anything, and withdrew.

At night, Gu Xingnian ate delicious roast lamb.

The mutton is sprinkled with seasonings from the Western Regions, and it is paired with freshly picked vegetables from the field, which is endless aftertaste.

If Su Mo didn't stop Gu Xingnian from thinking that the mutton is sweet and warm, and should not eat more, the little girl could keep eating it.

Left and right were also full, Gu Xingnian blinked, not staring at the mutton, she cooperated with Amber to clean her hands, ate another meatball that Gu Guanshi handed over to digest food, and wandered around.

With Jade and the others following, Su Mo was relieved.

There was still a lot of mutton left, so Su Mo told Steward Gu to share it with the people in the village.

The people in this village are all slaves bought by the Gu family.

Although they live in Zhuangzi, it does not mean that they can rely on Zhuangzi to achieve self-sufficiency.

The Gu family secretly owned a lot of property. The chickens, ducks and sheep raised here, except those that were sent to Gu's mansion, the rest were sent to Gu's mansion's restaurants.

The same is true for the new rice every year. The best ones are selected and sent to the Gu family, and the rest are sent to the grain shop...

The grain shop collects the old rice left over from previous years, divides it according to the needs of the villages in the care house, and then sends it over.

For vegetables, vegetarian dishes can be directly picked from Zhuangzi, while meat dishes will be delivered to Zhuangzi on a regular basis.

If there is a Zhuangzi with a pond, the people in it can catch fish and make tooth sacrifices.

The treatment of the Gu family is already considered good.

After all, a slave is an object in the eyes of the noble family, especially if it is not a slave that is kept by his side.

Most noble families arrange for a trustworthy woman in charge to watch in the village, and hand over all the purchases to the woman in charge. As for the life and death of the servants below, they don't have the heart to care so much.
