When the prince of no descendants found out that he had a baby, he went crazy

Chapter 146 Chapter 145 Being Targeted

It is already October, and the weather in Shuzhou is not that cold at this time, but it is still a bit chilly in the mornings and evenings.

Gu Hua and his friends had already finished eating the coarse grains that they had bought from the people of Laoshan Village. Now whenever they went to dig wild vegetables nearby, they would be robbed by Wang Hanyou's men.

After that, Gu Hua asked Shen Hongwei, who knew martial arts, to follow him every day and beat those people several times before they calmed down and dared not to steal from the people here.

Seeing that he couldn't rob here, Wang Hanyou led his men to attack the women and children who were digging wild vegetables in Laoshan Village. As a result, the men of Laoshan Village united and beat them up. Only then did they behave themselves.

When there was no food, Gu Hua would take time out every day to hunt one or two pheasants or rabbits as a snack for his little ones.

The little ones would sometimes share some of their experiences with new friends, such as Sun You, the eldest son of the Sun family, and Shan Yue, the youngest daughter of the Shan family.

Gu Hua saw it but did not stop it, and the two families became closer to the four children.

……

That day, Gu Hua got up early and kissed the sleeping faces of his four children.

An An, who was half asleep, opened his hazy eyes. The little guy rubbed Gu Hua's cheek affectionately and asked dazedly: "Mom, are you going out so early again?"

"Hmm!" Gu Hua touched his forehead, "Mom will go get you some food. No one can come to my house hungry, baby."

I patted An An's back gently and the little guy fell asleep again.

Gu Hua told Xia He to wait until the children got up to put on more clothes, go out to wash up, have a quick breakfast, and then get on the ox cart harnessed by Dagui and set off.

The morning in the mountains is like a natural ink painting, fresh and elegant, with morning mist lingering, making people feel as if they are in a fairyland.

Gu Hua, whose butt was almost broken into pieces, was in no mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the mountains in the early morning. He just wanted to wait for a chance to smooth the road out of the mountain.

The mountain road is bumpy and difficult to walk on.

We set out from the mountains early in the morning and arrived at Shuzhou City at sunset.

Arriving at the gate of Shuzhou, Gu Hua took out the travel certificate that he had obtained from the village chief Hu of Laoshan Village last night. Although the old man was reluctant at first, there was nothing that money could not do.

Walking into the street in the afterglow of the setting sun, Gu Hua found that it was even more desolate and dreary here than the last time they passed by.

Gu Hua first took his people to a small house in the south of Shuzhou City.

Mu Feng opened the door and saw that it was Gu Hua. He quickly made way and said respectfully, "Master, you are here."

Gu Hua nodded.

At the beginning, she left Mu Feng and Mu Xue, who were not on the exile list, in Shuzhou City, and told them to buy a small courtyard here so that they could use it as a place to stay in the future.

This small courtyard has three courtyards.

Directly after entering the gate is the three-courtyard house, which is run through by a central axis. The houses are all single-storey, and the courtyard is surrounded by the back house, the main house and the wing rooms.

The north house is the main house, and the houses in the east and west are wing houses. Flowers, fruits and trees are planted in the courtyard for viewing, and it is divided into the front yard and the back yard.

Gu Hua continued to walk inside to the backyard. This was what the ancients called the inner house. The front yard consisted of a gatehouse and a back house, and the front and back yards were connected by a hanging flower gate.

The backyard is composed of the east and west wing rooms, the main house, and the veranda. There are also two-entry courtyards, which do not have a hanging flower gate to separate the front yard, but add a backyard behind the main house, and build a back room for servants to live in.

"It's a good buy, the yard is very good."

Mu Feng and Mu Xue, who came out after hearing the noise, were also very happy to hear Gu Hua's praise.

After resting here for a night, Gu Hua and his friends, after dinner the next day, followed Mu Feng, who had already gotten to know Shuzhou City well during this period, to find bricklayers who understood construction.

Mu Xue followed Gu Hua and said happily, "After receiving the news from you, we found out that there is a master who is very good at building houses in the south of the city." Mu Feng led Gu Hua and the others for about a quarter of an hour and came to the door of a courtyard. He knocked gently on the door. The people inside heard the noise and asked, "Who is it?!"

"Is Master Mao at home?" Mu Feng: "We want to ask him to build the house."

The door was opened, and a middle-aged square-faced man looked at Gu Hua and the others, "You guys want to build a house?"

The house builder Mao Changsheng's eyes were bright. "Everyone has had a hard time in the past two years, although the disaster in Shuzhou is not as serious as in other places, and the people are displaced."

However, in recent years, the government has increased a lot of taxes and levies every year, and the people have had a hard time. Naturally, few people asked him to build houses, and his family did not have an easy time.

Now that he heard that someone wanted him to build a house, Master Mao was of course very happy.

"It's me." Gu Hua: "I wonder if Master Mao has time."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Master Mao said excitedly, and he was almost about to say "I have plenty of time."

Next, Gu Hua discussed with Master Mao how many bricks and materials would be needed to build the house, as well as their commission for building the house.

I heard that there were not just one or two houses to be built, but many. Master Mao said on the spot that he would give Gu Hua and his family a discount and guarantee that their houses would be built solid and durable...

Because he had other things to do, Gu Hua left after the negotiation.

Master Mao took on such a big job, and after hurriedly giving instructions to his family, he went to contact the group of brothers who were building the house with him.

Gu Hua went to buy an axe and went to the blacksmith shop to customize a few iron saws and other items.

Then Gu Hua went out alone, and Dagui and the others came to the agreed location as instructed. When they saw the food piled in the alley, they realized why the master asked him and Ergui to drive two ox carts when one ox cart could clearly seat several people.

"This is the grain I secretly bought from a local grain merchant in Shuzhou whom I met when I was doing business before." Gu Hua said nonsense without any guilt:

"At this time, he didn't want anyone to know that he still had grain, so after we secretly completed the transaction, he ordered someone to put the grain here."

Dagui and the others certainly would not doubt what their master said. Shen Hongling, who came with them, remained silent and didn't say much. Only Han Jinyan glanced at Gu Hua, and seeing that she looked normal, he ignored the slight abnormality he felt in his heart.

Gu Hua raised his eyebrows imperceptibly, thinking to himself, this boy is quite perceptive. If I hadn't been calm, he would have seen through something.

Next, Gu Hua and the others spent money to buy some oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, daily necessities, and other things that others asked them to buy, and then said goodbye to Mu Feng and Mu Xue and went back.

When Gu Hua passed by the mansion that was originally the prefect's residence, he found that the plaque above the tall and majestic door had been replaced with that of the Prince's Palace.

Just as the ox cart she was riding in turned onto another street, a luxurious carriage stopped in front of Prince Li's gate. The man sitting in the carriage looked over here as if he sensed something, but he saw nothing but a bleak street scene.

The tall, slender and handsome man shook his head, got off the carriage and walked into the gate of the palace.

……

Here, Gu Hua was sitting on an ox cart not far from the city gate. He glanced back quietly and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"I think your smile is a little creepy." Han Jinyan saw Gu Hua slowly smile and held his chest in a fake manner: "Can you please stop smiling? I'm a little scared."

Gu Hua rolled his eyes at him and said, "I'll train your courage first. I think you'll be even more scared later."

Han Jinze paused.

He was smart, and a gleam flashed in his eyes. Then he thought that Gu Hua had looked behind him, which was why he showed such a weird smile. He subconsciously turned his head.

"Are we being followed?" Han Jinyan, who didn't notice anything unusual behind him, looked away and asked affirmatively.
