Chapter 172
Two days later, Qingyang's typhoid fever was finally cured. He woke up early in the morning and was anxious to go to Zhuangzi. He didn't even want to eat breakfast (because of his illness, his morning exercise was temporarily canceled).

Qing Shu refused, stared at him to eat, let him listen to Master Lu's class for half an hour, and then set off for Zhuangzi.Because the maids in the mansion were also curious, and Mr. Lu also joined in the fun, two carriages were prepared for this trip.Mr. Lu and Qingyang took a car, and Qingshu took Xiaoyu, Ding Jiamei and Gu Linglan in a car.

The current Lily of the Valley girl is no longer the scarred and unrecognizable Gu Er girl who is so thin that she is about to fall when the wind blows.After ten days of decoction, with ointment for wounds and chilblains, chicken soup for tonic, a full meal, and white flour steamed buns or red bean buns every five days, not only the bruises on the body healed, but also the face There is also flesh on the body, and the whole person is energetic.Her face has almost recovered, although it is not very beautiful, but it is not ugly, and the small face is very fair.However, a cut on the forehead will leave a scar, and a whiplash on the back will certainly leave a scar.

Xiaojuan did not follow today because Qingshu said that she was not stable enough, so she was punished to stay in the mansion to reflect on her mistakes.

Ding's younger sister was able to leave the mansion because Gu Qiang found someone suitable to serve Gu Ye's instead of Ding's younger sister, so Ding's younger sister was assigned to return to her original job, responsible for cleaning the front hall, side hall, and serving tea and water when guests came.

Now Gu Ye is served by a 38-year-old woman named Guan Pozi.Guan Pozi and the man used to be servants of the official family. Later, the master was convicted and his house was ransacked by the court.

Mrs. Guan was always taciturn, and even less talkative after the death of the man and son.Because of her temperament, and because she was not a little girl of Shui Ling, she stayed in the prison officer's place for more than a year, doing rough work of washing and mending all day long, and no one bought her.

Gu Qiang fell in love with Mrs. Guan's temperament, and opened his mouth to buy it. The officials immediately pushed Mrs. Guan and a ten-year-old skinny boy, Guan Mu, out, claiming that they took away six taels of silver.

It turned out that there was another reason why no one bought Pozi Guan.That is, if you want to buy Guan Pozi, you have to buy Guan Mumu, the son of Guan Pozi's elder brother.It stands to reason that anyone who made such a request like Guan Pozi would have been beaten to death long ago.But a small leader who was in charge of the official slaves owed Guan Pozi's dead brother a favor, so the little leader greeted the officials, and would take care of Guan Pozi and Guan Mutou more or less.

Gu Qiang thought about it for a while, and felt that this ten-year-old boy was already able to work, and it was not a loss for six taels of silver to buy two people, so he paid the money, passed the relevant documents, and then brought him back to Kangxi Town the ancient mansion.

When we arrived at the top of the wheat field, everyone got out of the carriage one by one.Wu Guanshi and others were already waiting at the head of the field.

Only two days have passed, and the wheat seedlings have already drilled out of the layer of withered grass and broken straw, which can be clearly seen without having to pull them apart.Compared with the surrounding one, it can only be described as gratifying green.

Mr. Lu squatted on the ground, pulled away some broken straw with his hands, measured the length of the growing wheat seedlings with his fingers, stroked his beard, and expressed his amazement.

Qingshu led the maids to look at the place about two zhang away from Mr. Lu, and carefully picked up some dead grass and waited to have a look, and then she knew it.Not very successful, although the winter wheat has been planted, but the yield per acre is a bit low.She replied withered grass and so on, clapped her hands and stood up, beckoning Guanshi Wu to come forward.

Steward Wu stepped forward and stood still a dozen steps away from Qingshu, "What do you want Miss?"

Qing Shu, "Aren't the ones that grow now less dense than the ones that grew before winter?"

Wu Guanshi: "Indeed."

Qing Shu looked at the ten acres of wheat seedlings, "That means the harvest will be affected."

Wu Guanshi: "Miss, don't worry, I have observed it, and there are still wheat seedlings that have broken the ground. In a few days, this wheat field will look different."

Qing Shu hummed, but didn't speak.When he turned his head, he saw Mr. Lu and Qingyang looking for something by the side of the road, "Is something missing or something, go over and have a look."

Steward Wu immediately went over to investigate the situation, and came back soon, "Miss, Mr. Lu is taking the young master to look for wild vegetables and weeds growing on the roadside, and want to compare them with wheat seedlings. However, they only found three or two that just broke ground Because they are too small, we are still looking for them.”

Qing Shu smiled, "Let them go! Come over when you have nothing to do, don't let the cattle herders approach our fields, and harm the good wheat fields."

Manager Wu agreed, and said that the first thing people in Zhuangzi get up in the morning is to go here, and then every half an hour, people who are free will come to have a look, very caring.

Qing Shu is very satisfied with this, "You guys have some snacks. If the wheat is successfully planted and the harvest is good, we will plant it after the autumn harvest, and we will plant it in a large area."

The wheat seedlings have also been looked at, and the other crops are not yet ready for planting, so there is nothing to do, so Qing Shu took people back home, and it was already lunch time.After lunch, Qingyang hurriedly ran to his study, asked Yuan Bao to grind the ink, and began to write letters.He wants to write a letter to tell his brother Yan that the wheat at home has grown better than the grass on the roadside.

On the second day, it is the set of every five.The weather is fine and suitable for going out.

Chen Shi and A Qin walked ahead, Gu Zheda carried the burden and followed behind, and the three went to the town to go to the market.They first sold some rough rice and dried vegetables, then tore two pieces of coarse cloth, weighed two catties of salt at the place designated by the government to sell salt, and finally went to the butcher shop to cut two catties of fat back.

Coincidentally, Ding Jiabao happened to have two baskets full of things to pick out.When he met someone he knew, Ding Jiabao put down his burden and greeted Mrs. Chen.

Seeing that his burden was heavy, Mrs. Chen asked her son to help carry it.Ding Jiabao hurriedly said no, but Chen said that he was out of sight and asked his son to help share some.

Gu Zhe then took out the things in his own basket and gave it to Aqin, divided the pig's head and offal in half from Ding Jiabao's basket in twos and twos, picked them up in his own basket, and asked Ding Jiabao where he was going to send them.

Ding Jiabao couldn't refuse any more, so he picked up a half-weighted burden to lead the way, and let Gu Zheda follow behind, and soon arrived at the back door of the snack shop, knocked on the door and the two picked something and went in.

Gu Yuanhe was coming to the back, saw Gu Zheda helping to carry the pig's head and other things, smiled and stepped forward to pat Gu Zheda on the back, "Come to the market?"

Gu Zhe grinned, "I came to go to the market. I happened to meet Brother Ding and wanted to help him. He refused, so I snatched it up and helped him pick it out, haha..."

Gu Yuanhe pulled him to the front, "Come on, go ahead and take a look. By the way, it's just you? Didn't your little four quarrel with you?"

Gu Zhe laughed and said: "As long as someone enters the town, that kid will quarrel with him, and then my father will stare at him, and he will be honest. Not to mention, I really didn't come alone today, my mother and Aqin also came gone."
