Chapter 170
Finally, the chief guard called the roll and sent one person to catch the chicken with Gu Erfeng.It's not that the chickens are all in the pen at night, and the chickens scattered outside are not easy to catch.I saw two people chasing chickens all over the vegetable yard, but they couldn't catch a single one.

The guard's face darkened, and he ordered another person.The three of them worked together, but they still couldn't catch one with chicken feathers on their heads.The stupid chickens raised in the countryside are like this, they are flexible and can fly very high.

Listening to the sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping outside, Qing Yang and Zhou Boyan who were sitting in the carriage looked at each other.Qingyang felt strange and wanted to poke his head out to have a look.Zhou Boyan held him down and shook his head.He just realized now that Gu Qingshu's way of training people is really genius.

The head of the guard felt that his subordinates were too shameful, so he directly took down the bow and arrow on his back, told the chicken chaser to back off, bent the arrow and set it up, aimed at the fleeing chicken, and with two swishes, two of the fattest chickens were nailed to the ground .

Just such a move shocked everyone, except of course, except for his own people.What Qingshu didn't expect was that it was the Chief Guard's action that scared He Shi to have nightmares for several nights in a row, and he didn't dare to think about taking advantage of the ancient mansion.

Gu Erfeng was scared enough, but he wasn't too scared to find Bei.He went up, pulled out the two arrows, picked up the chicken that was dead on the spot, and looked at the crowd, not knowing who to give it to.

Steward Wu took the two arrows, wiped them with something, and returned them to the chief guard.Then let Gu Erfeng find hemp rope, string two dead chickens together and tie them, and hang them on the back of the cart.Finally, with a wave of his hand, the group slowly left Dagujia Village.

When the cart arrived at the entrance of Xiaogujia Village, Gu Dashu was waiting at the entrance of the village with his four sons and Aqin.Gu Zhesi and Aqin were sent back together with Gu Erfeng.

At this time, Erniu sat up, and when Chen was about to get off the car, she pulled off the quilt that had just been used as a cushion, wrapped Erniu's thin body tightly, and turned out the cotton hat that Xiaoyu had given her before departure, for Erniu. Put it on, and told her softly, "From now on, be more diligent in your hands and feet, learn etiquette, and don't do things that make the master unhappy. Naturally, you won't be in the wrong. From now on, you are from the ancient mansion, and you are the same as your original family. It doesn't matter at all. If someone here is ignorant and comes to you, asking for money or benefits, you can't care about it. You have to work for the ancient mansion wholeheartedly. Don't be afraid, Miss Gu has a good temper, as long as you don't do anything wrong, I will definitely not punish you. For Erfeng's kindness, you have to be good."

Er Niu agreed softly.

Mrs. Chen got off the cart.

Aqin stepped forward, "Er Niu, I will visit you, you have to be well."

Er Niu choked up, "Sister Aqin, it's agreed, you want to see me."

Ah Qin let out a "hmm".

Guanshi Wu and Gu Dashu nodded, and led them away.

After walking for more than three miles, there was a carriage with the sign of Gufu parked on the side of the road. Besides Ding Jiabao from Gufu, there were four guards on horseback around the carriage.

As soon as the two sides met, Xiaojuan got out of the carriage parked on the side of the road, helped the second girl on the cart to get off, and took the second girl back to the carriage.

The four guards returned to the head of the guard, and all the people in the Gufu went to the carriage of the Gufu except Steward Wu.

The two separated, and Zhou Boyan and Qingyang led the 11-member guard and Wu Guanshi to the direction of the farm.The Gufu carriage headed for the town.

On the way, Qingyang took out the letter that his sister had given him early in the morning, looked at it curiously, and immediately opened his mouth in shock.

Zhou Boyan raised his eyebrows, "What did you write?"

Qingyang blinked, "My sister said that we should go to the Zhuangzi, follow the arrangement of Manager Wu, take the backpack and shovel from the Zhuangzi, dig the snow from the field, transport it back, and pour it into the field on the Zhuangzi."

Zhou Boyan was speechless for a while, took the letter from Qingyang's hand and read it, sure enough, it was exactly the same as what Qingyang said.The letter also said that today was a waste of time and could only do half a day's work, and the guards would have to make up for the remaining half day tomorrow.

"Brother Yan, why did you transport the accumulated snow back to the ground?" Qingyang asked curiously.

"I don't know about this." Zhou Boyan admitted that he was lonely and ignorant.He felt that what Gu Qingshu did was just to torment him.The fact that the elite guards were bothered to catch chickens is the best proof.

When they arrived at Zhuangzi, Steward Wu immediately asked for twenty or so empty backpacks piled up in the utility room, as well as six or seven shovels.

Hearing Zhou Boyan's order, the chief guard coughed in a low voice, "My lord, this..."

Zhou Boyan raised his eyebrows, "Why, I can't command you guys?"

The head of the guard immediately stated that the young master can command them, and then took the lead with a shovel.He felt that the back basket would affect his image, so he chose the shovel.

In a panic, Steward Wu brought some Zhuang halls and an 11-man guard in Zhuangzi, and started an incomprehensible job: shoveling and carrying snow in the woods and fields, and pouring it into the fields on Zhuangzi.

On the eighth day of the eighth day, Gufu's flavor snack shop in Kangxi Town and Guji Steamed Bun Shop in Jinyang City opened for business.On the afternoon of the ninth day of the lunar new year, ten travel-worn men brought five empty cars to Kangxi Town, looking for Shanggu Mansion.

It turned out that Zhou Boyan's caravan came back from the south. They first settled in Jinyang City, and then divided ten people and sent five empty cars to go around to the ancient mansion of Kangxi Town. They brought sauerkraut back to Jinyang City. After reuniting, we set off for the capital.

The 120 barrels of sauerkraut for Zhou Boyan have been frozen long ago, and can be loaded into a car and left at any time.

Gu Qiang saw these people working hard all the way, and asked them if they would like to stay overnight, but he heard them say that they had to travel overnight and could not waste time.It turned out that it was the rush from the capital city. The sauerkraut left last time was sold out long ago, and some people ordered sauerkraut at a high price, and they just waited for the goods to arrive here.

Gu Qiang was very pleased when he heard this, because the sauerkraut was made by his lady, and the more popular it was, the more it showed that his lady was a smart and capable woman.He hurriedly ordered the kitchen to cook, and wanted the ten people to have a hot meal before leaving.The ten people were very happy, thanked them repeatedly, and stared at the loading.

At this time, Zhou Boyan asked Gu Shitou to pass the word that he left with the caravan and cooked meals for him and the guards.

Qingshu got the news and called Qingyang to talk.

Not long after, Qingyang went to Zhou Boyan, "Brother Yan, sister asked me to ask you, do you want any more sauerkraut?"

After threatening Zhou Boyan with tea that day, Qing Shu never appeared in his sight again, and stayed in the inner courtyard all day long, not even coming to the reception hall or the side hall.He wasn't sure if Gu Qingshu was hiding from him on purpose, or it was just a coincidence that she didn't think ahead. "What did your sister say?"

Qingyang conveyed her sister's words very seriously, "Sister said, if brother Yan really wants it, you can give brother Yan 11 barrels out of the [-] barrels that are going to be delivered to Yipin Building, and one barrel will count as [-] taels of silver for you."
