The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

428 Chapter 2 It's the right thing to do ([-])
Because there was no fire, it was very cold in the study.She didn't sit down either, standing and talking with the housekeeper.

The steward Gu reported, "A letter has come from De County. The Wu mansion harbored important court criminals. The evidence is convincing. The house was ransacked by officers and soldiers the morning before yesterday. The wife was also arrested. More than a dozen shops under the name of the Wu family and three shops under the name of the second wife were all closed down by the government."

Qing Shu was taken aback, "Is it credible?"

"The news sent by the leader himself is naturally credible. Not only that, but several other Wu residences of Master Wu's relatives have also been implicated. Although the houses were not ransacked, all the masters of the residence were arrested for questioning. If the innocent , will naturally be put back. If you get involved with Master Wu's case, it will be difficult to get out."

Qing Shu was shocked by this sudden change, but she was happy in her heart.She originally thought that the mental torture of Wu Yeshi was almost over, and she would wait until the eighth day of February to deal the final blow to the Wu family.Never thought that the Wu family committed a crime first and was copied by the government, which saved her from doing it herself.She walked back and forth excitedly, "Are you sure both Wu Zhenjiang and Wu Yeshi are in jail?"

"Our people saw the officers and soldiers escorting people to the Yamen with their own eyes, and they can't be wrong."

"Harboring a wanted criminal in the court is a felony, how will it be punished?"

"Beheading or distributing to the frontier depends on the outcome of the trial. No matter what, the flourishing Wu Mansion will decline. Not only the Wu clan in De County, but also the Wu clan in Kangde Town will be affected. will also be affected."

Thinking of the extremely hateful Gu Yunfu and Mrs. Ma, Qing Shu said, "When the news spreads, some people will cry and some people will laugh. I guess there will be another commotion."

After this matter was finished, Steward Gu urged Qing Shu to leave the study quickly, mainly because he was afraid that Qing Shu would freeze.

As Qingshu walked towards the embroidery room, she asked Xiaojuan who was following her, "Is it twenty-three or twenty-four today?" (Note: In the lunar calendar, 21 to 29 are also called twenty-one to twenty-nine.)
Xiaojuan, "Miss, it's twenty-four."

"Master Chen and Master Luo's yard should be cleaned."

"The housekeeper has ordered someone to clean it today, don't worry, Miss."

When mentioning the housekeeper, Qing Shu thought of something, and stopped, "Go and tell the housekeeper, and send someone over tomorrow to give Mrs. Ma a reassurance. In this way, even if you don't want to, Mrs. Ma still owes me a favor." After that, she fell Let's see if Mrs. Ma will continue to have the cheek to let her daughter visit.

Xiaojuan was puzzled, "Reassurance? Miss, is there any reassurance in the house?"

Qing Shu laughed softly, "Hurry up, even if there isn't one, the housekeeper will make one."

Xiaojuan went to spread the news in confusion, while Qingshu went back alone to continue making schoolbags.

When the sun turned to the west, Qingshu asked everyone to call it a day and began to count the number of schoolbags made recently.Years ago, Qingshu, Xu Wuniang and Xiaoyu successively made 82 schoolbags.In recent days, Qingshu, Xu Wuniang, Xiaoyu, Su's mother, Ling Lan, plus Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Cheng, and Mrs. Ning (Ning Si's wife), they made a total of 220 seven schoolbags.Add up, it's three hundred and nine.

According to the patterns embroidered on the schoolbags, according to the color of the schoolbags, Qing Shu asked people to separate the [-] schoolbags, and made fifteen bundles.

Now that work is over, Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Ning bid farewell and go home.Mrs. Lu returned to her yard, she had to start preparing dinner.Mrs. Zhao was left behind by Qing Shu. Qing Shu said that Dr. Zhou would also come here for dinner in the evening, and Zhou Xing was playing in the mansion. After dinner, it would not be too late for the three of them to go back together.

In this way, Mother Su dragged Mrs. Zhao to talk, and Qing Shu was busy deciding what to do tomorrow.

She first went to the warehouse where the sauerkraut barrels were stored.There is no shortage of [-] barrels of sauerkraut for Zhou Boyan's caravan, and no shortage of [-] barrels of sauerkraut for Buwu's Yipinlou. They are all ready and waiting for someone to pick them up tomorrow.She thought of something, and asked Guanshi Ding, "How many grains of young corn are there that were dried in the autumn last year?"

Guanshi Ding answered quickly, "There are still a hundred catties left, not much."

She thought for a while, "It's true that there aren't many left. The young master loves to eat, so I can't give it to Yipin Building any more. You can send it all to me sometime."

It's all right here, so she went to the front again and asked the butler to ask, "How are the attendants arranged for tomorrow?"

The steward reported it.There are two carriages for traveling and two carts for pulling goods.Steward Ding brought the four Ding family members from Fuzhong and the newly formed ten-member team from the town to follow.

The members of the ten-member team were no strangers, they were all members of the army, and had served as temporary guards in the ancient mansion for a few days.The ancient mansion no longer needs temporary guards. These people discussed it and formed such a small team, and they no longer went to do part-time jobs.They are a bit like escorts, and a bit like bodyguards. In short, they escort the goods for the employer or escort the employer to go out for a long journey.Because the surname of the leader was Li, everyone scratched their heads and finally took a brother Li to protect the safety team.

After hearing this, Ning Si couldn't say well, so he asked Gu Yuanhe to help him choose a name.Gu Yuanhe looked embarrassed, and if he couldn't do it, he could just call the security guards.In this way, they gave up the name of brother Li's security team and took the name of the security guard.

As the saying goes, everything is difficult in the beginning.The security guard team was formed, but no one asked them to do anything, and they were sad all day long.Let's do part-time jobs again, but where can there be so many part-time jobs in winter?It is because it is not easy to work part-time that they want to do this job.When they were about to give up, at the end of the new year, they received their first order. The Gufu wanted to send two truckloads of goods to Jinyang City, and they asked them to escort them.

They were overjoyed, and safely delivered the two carts of goods from the Gufu to the Guji Steamed Bun Shop in Jinyang City, and brought back a letter from shopkeeper Du in the shop.In this way, they got the first labor fee, two taels of silver.Excluding food, lodging and other expenses on the road, each of them received a lot of money.After thanking the ancient mansion, they finally gained some confidence and no longer thought about giving up.

Now, the ancient mansion is going to Jinyang City again, and they will return two taels of silver to the escort and ask them if they can go.They agreed wholeheartedly.In this way, Steward Gu only sent four family servants to Steward Ding.

Qing Shu has no objection to the housekeeper's arrangement.Because helping the security guards slowly gain fame, it was her instruction.Their ancient mansion uses the Security Guard a few more times, and the people in the town will gradually recognize the Security Guard, and when necessary, they will find the Security Guard, and the members of the Security Guard can support their families.

Seeing that Qingshu had no objection, Steward Gu asked, "Miss, how many guards do you want to send?"

Qing Shu said, "Four people are enough. The two young masters each have a bodyguard, Mr. Lu has a bodyguard, and the remaining person can go to support wherever it is needed."

That's it.Nothing happened overnight, and it was the second day in a blink of an eye.Everyone had breakfast early and began to prepare for travel.
