The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 386 What to do (2)
Before going to bed, she thought a lot about the possible means that Gu Yunfu might adopt.After thinking about it, what Gu Yunfu can use is nothing more than his status as an uncle, nothing else.People in this era value seniority, blood relationship, and the order of seniority.She didn't give Gu Yunfu any face. If Gu Yunfu wanted to suppress her, he had only two choices.One is to go back to Dagujia Village to invite the so-called elders of the clan to attack her; the other is to sue the officials and ask the officials to punish her for the crime of unfilial piety and disrespect.

But it doesn't matter.It was she who returned to her hometown first, and she laid the foundation in Kangxi Town first. The people of Dagujia Village had already seen her tough style, and no one would dare to stand up against her again.Besides, to tell the officer, she has already taken root in Kangxi Town. If the county assistant believes in her, she will still believe in Gu Yunfu, who has just arrived and has no background. The answer is obvious.No matter how Gu Yunfu tosses, it will not cause substantial harm to her and the Gufu, but will only disturb her and the whole family.

This night, Qing Shu didn't sleep well, nor too badly.After waking up early, Qingyang and Hao came over, pestered Qingshu to have breakfast together, and then prepared to set off to sell Spring Festival couplets.

There were a lot of couplets accumulated last time, but some of them were destroyed, and the remaining intact parts have been sorted out.In addition to what Qingyang wrote yesterday, it adds up to a lot.

In case of another accident, Qingshu sent Guard Du and three Eagle Guards to protect Qingyang and Hao.At the same time, the guards Mu Mu and Chu Yi were also sent out to help Qing Yang and Hao.The place where the Spring Festival couplets are sold is still in front of the shop, which is my own territory. No matter what happens, there will be someone to take care of me, so I feel more at ease.Even if they sent people to Qingyang, but Qingshu said beforehand, this time is the same as last time, Qingyang and Hao have to sell Spring Festival couplets by their own ability, and the people who go with them are only doing the duty of protection.Whether or not the business is successful depends on Qingyang's own ability.

Even if Qingshu sent enough people to follow, butler Gu was still very worried.He asked Qingshu for instructions, and asked Guanshi Ding and Zhang Da to follow.

Qing Shu didn't follow, she stayed in the mansion to be busy with other things.

Mrs. Cheng and her eldest daughter, Ning Si's mother and wife, A Qin's mother and aunt all came to work.This time, Aqin's aunt also asked Qingshu for instructions in advance, and as a guarantor, she brought her niece from her natal family and the eldest girl from the neighbor's house.These people, under the command of Su's mother, gathered together to cut sauerkraut.

With Qingshu's permission, Mrs. Cheng's family, Ning's family, Aqin's family and uncle's family each pickled three jars of sauerkraut.The sauerkraut in the four families totaled twelve cylinders, all cut according to the requirements of the ancient mansion.The few outermost slices of sauerkraut head with poor taste were removed and kept for the family to eat during the Chinese New Year.When they came to work today, the man in the family borrowed an ox cart to deliver all the frozen sauerkraut.

After inspecting the sauerkraut they sent, Mother Su told Qingshu that there was no problem.Qing Shu asked Steward Gu to count the buckets, and paid the money on the spot, one tael of silver for each bucket of sauerkraut.The wooden barrels are uniformly provided by the ancient mansion, and there is no need to pay them additional money.

The sauerkraut jars they use are slightly smaller than the ones used by Gufu. One jar of sauerkraut can produce three to four buckets of shredded sauerkraut.Among the four families, Aqin's natal family and uncle's family sold the most silver, and each family got 11 taels of silver.Cheng Niangzi's family and Ning's four families each received ten taels of silver.For them, this was a great deal of money, and each of them took their money away, thanked them again and again, and hurried home to announce the good news.

After marking the 42 barrels of sauerkraut, the housekeeper Gu asked people to move them into a warehouse dedicated to storing sauerkraut.

At this time, Qingshu went to Xu Wuniang's embroidery room.She cleaned her hands and sat with Xu Wuniang to sew schoolbags.Although Xiaoyu was recuperating, she couldn't lie down, so she begged Qingshu to sew her schoolbag here.Xiaojuan's female celebrity is not good, she just serves them tea or something.

Qingshu plans to sell this batch of schoolbags in schools or private schools in spring.She doesn't expect to earn money from this for a long time, and she doesn't think about doing business with ordinary people. She just wants to earn some money from the rich with fresh energy.

While Qingshu was concentrating on sewing the schoolbag, Zhou Boyan kept pacing outside Qingshu's study with his hands behind his back.He can't enter the woman's inner courtyard, and Qing Shu doesn't go to his side. This is the only place where they can sit and talk together without restraint.But today, Qing Shu's study is locked, which means that Qing Shu doesn't intend to see him.Thinking of how she was playing with a temper and ignoring others yesterday, he smiled wryly, not knowing how he upset her.

Gu Shitou came over, "My lord, I have something to report."

Zhou Boyan stared at the lock on the study door for a moment, then turned and walked away, "We'll talk about it when we go back."

Back at the residence, just as Zhou Boyan sat down, Gu Shitou took out a secret letter from his sleeve and held it in front of Zhou Boyan with both hands respectfully.

Zhou Boyan took the letter, opened the wax seal, and took out the letter inside to have a look.He pondered for a moment, then stretched out his hand, Gu Shitou put the fire folder into his hand.He burned the letter and sat in silence with a thoughtful face.

Gu Shitou stood aside with his hands down, waiting for instructions.

After a long time, Zhou Boyan sighed helplessly, "The tree wants to be still but the wind doesn't stop."

Gu Shitou raised his face and gave him a surprised look.

"You and Hong Wei go ahead and wait at Shilipo outside the town."

"Young master, then you..."

Zhou Boyan waved his hand, asking him not to ask any more questions, "Just do it. After an hour, I will rush to meet you."

Gu Shitou didn't dare to disobey, so he hurried to find the head of the guard.

Zhou Boyan looked around the furnishings in the house, then took his cloak and put it on, and went outside.

Seeing that he was about to go out, the guards in the courtyard came up to meet him and asked if he needed to prepare a horse.

"I just went to see an old friend. There are two guards and Gu Shitou following. You don't have to follow. Listen, you are not allowed to take a step out of the ancient mansion without my order. You need to assist the guard Luo here to ensure the safety of the ancient mansion. mistaken."

The guard hurriedly said, "Young master, the duty of the subordinate is to protect the safety of the young master. When the young master goes out, the subordinate must follow..."

"You don't need to say too much, just follow orders."

Seeing the young master like this, the guard asked, "Sir, how long are you going?"

"At least three days, as long as... I will be back before the [-]th year." Zhou Boyan said in a hurry, and left without looking back.When they got to the front, they met Gu Shitou and the head of the guard leading three horses.

Cai Tieniu, the gatekeeper, came over to salute, "My lord, where are you going?"

Zhou Boyan thought that there was no way to greet Qingshu in person, so he stepped out of the house and told Cai Tieniu, "Send a message to your miss, I have something urgent to go out, and I will definitely be back before the [-]th."

Before Cai Tieniu had time to say anything, Zhou Boyan had already taken the reins from Gu Shitou, got on the horse neatly, and rode away.Gu Shitou and the chief guard also got on their horses and set off.
