After the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Gu Jialuo felt that this summer was extremely hot, for no other reason, they came to Usa this time, the road was far away, and they did not prepare too many things.

Naturally, the ice that is necessary for summer is not prepared.

Fortunately, Gu Jialuo stayed in the later life for four years, thanks to the blessing of the prosperity of the culture in the later generations, Rao did not pay much attention to this part, and also knew some so-called 'necessary skills for crossing'.

Glass, cement, spirits, cowpox or something, Gu Jialuo is not interested in tinkering with it for the time being, and making ice from saltpeter is what she wants to do the most at present.

Its practical saltpeter ice-making had a precedent as early as the Tang Dynasty, but it did not spread, at least for ordinary people, ice-making is far less important than filling their stomachs.

"This is not difficult, although Yunnan is a wild land, but rich in minerals, small people have heard that there are saltpeter mines in Fumin County, not far from Wumeng,"

After these days, Sun Chuandong has become more and more like a well-informed 'jack of all trades', whether it is gossip, local wealthy gentry, or special species from all over the world, he knows it.

Gu Jialuo relied more and more on this clever and down-to-earth little guy, and when he had any questions, his first reaction was to ask Sun Chuandong to ask.

Sun Chuandong was also angry, and in the past month, he did not disappoint Gu Jialuo.

Gu Jialuo did not have every errand he had ever handed over, and he could complete it satisfactorily.

Just yesterday, the furniture that Sun Chuandong was responsible for had all been completed, and one by one they were brought into the back office, and Gu Jialuo personally inspected that the wood was all the best wenge, with clear texture and authentic color. Although the workmanship of the carpenter is not the same as the style of the north, it is also very characteristic of the southwest, and the workmanship is fine, and the carvings and textures on it are very exquisite.

Looking at a complete set of furniture, Gu Jialuo was very satisfied, and the most important thing was that he didn't spend much money and was unpretentious, which was very in line with Qi Jinzhi's current status as a county magistrate.

Now Gu Jialuo is sitting on the brand-new Arhat bed, and the openwork white silk embroidered camellia seat screen in front of him is also newly made, and the large red camellia on the screen has both the wealth of peony and the clear spirit of camellia, adding a touch of color to the room.

Gu Jialuo's gaze swept over the peony tea on the screen, and finally fell on a vague shadow, and said, "It's good to have a place to buy it." So you can find two clever men and go out and sell some saltpeter. ”

There were still more than two months left in the summer, and since it was the first time Gu Jialuo had come to Usa, she was not sure what the autumn would be like here. She had to be well prepared.

Sun Chuandong agreed, and listened to Gu Jialuo's instructions for a few errands, and then bowed and retreated.

Walking out of the yard, he met Qi Jingui's family, who was in charge of the kitchen, and Sun Chuandong greeted him politely: "Aunt Qi." ”

Qi Jingui's family paused, put his hands in front of him, looked Sun Chuandong up and down, and said with a smile: "Yo, who should I be, it turned out to be the second son of the Sun family." Tsk, I haven't seen you for a few days, but I seem to have changed my appearance, look at this all-round style, go outside, and anyone will call 'young master'. It's much better than the few monkey cubs in our family. ”

Sun Chuandong smiled innocently and said, "My aunt has won the award." ”

I didn't want to say a word more than that.

Don't look at Sun Chuandong, who likes to inquire about news all day long, but his mouth is the strictest, and he refuses to easily reveal the errands that Gu Jialuo has explained.

Qi Jingui's family felt that he had punched the cotton, and his face was a little bad, he pursed his lips, and said, "You just came out of the upper room?" What errand did Grandma tell you? ”

Sun Chuandong touched his head and smiled again, "It's nothing, it's nothing." ”

Qi Jingui's face sank, and he said angrily: "Ouch, I just asked casually, look at you, are you still hiding like this?" Why, are you afraid that I won't be able to leak the news of my master? ”

This is a bit heavy, Qi Jingui's family is the first-class servant of the Qi family, even Gu Jialuo, the hostess, has to look up a few times.

Sun Chuandong's eyes flickered, and he immediately shook his head: "Auntie, it's really nothing." You and Uncle Qi are both old people in the house, and they are the most loyal, but if you say it's me, even the uncle and grandmother won't guard against you. ”

After saying this, Sun Chuandong deliberately looked up at the sky, "It's not too early, I still have to go out, so I won't delay your busy business, auntie." ”

"Hey, hey, you Sun Xiaoer, I still have something to ask you, what are you running, I'm not a wolf, can I catch up and eat you?"

Qi Jingui's family wanted to talk to Sun Chuandong again, and they didn't want this bear child to run away, swishing, and ran out of the yard in the blink of an eye, and went straight to the back door.

"Phew, it's really a little family, I don't know what my surname is when I get a few good words from my grandmother!"

Qi Jingui's family spat at the foam and scolded hatefully, with a thick sour tone in his tone. Her three sons are all more capable than Sun Chuandong, but now they don't have any serious errands.

If it is said that there are many people in the house and there is a lack of children, the actual situation is that the uncle and grandmother have just arrived, and they need manpower everywhere.

But the grandmother didn't know what was wrong, so she would rather let their family be idle than arrange errands.

There are seven or eight members in a family, except for Qi Jingui and his wife, who are in charge of some things, and several sons and daughters-in-law have all become idlers.

What's even more infuriating is that Sun Dabao's family next door has all been entrusted with important tasks by the grandmother, especially Sun Chuandong, who has become a celebrity in front of the grandmother.

Dressed more and more decently, speaking more and more measured, the whole person was full of spirit, and even Qi Jingui praised sourly, "This kid is good, and he will definitely become the master's right-hand man in the future." ”

The future of his own son is unknown, but the neighbor's boy is soaring, and it is strange that Qi Jingui's family is not red-eyed.

But now that the uncle is not in the house, their family can't be reused by the grandmother, and no matter how much resentment there is, they can only endure it, Qi Jingui's family doesn't dare to blame the housewife, but they are not afraid of Sun Chuandong, "Look at you now, when you are unlucky, hum, you dare to ...... with the old lady before you become a manager."

Qi Jingui's family scolded and went to the kitchen, and happened to meet a few local mountain people who came to deliver firewood, fruits and vegetables.

After dealing with each other for more than a month, the subordinates of the Qi family's kitchen and those mountain people are also familiar with them, and occasionally chat in half-baked southwestern official dialect.

There was a woman in her thirties among the mountain people, thin, with a circle of black cloth wrapped around her head, wide dark clothes and trousers, and thick silver earrings on her ears.

Seeing Qi Jingui's family's angry face, she asked with a smile, "Sister-in-law Qi, what's wrong?" Who's you off? ”

The mountain girl is straightforward and has always been straightforward.

Qi Jingui's family dealt with them a few times, but they were used to it, and they still said with a cold face: "An ignorant monkey cub, it's nothing." By the way, what kind of river food do you have in the mountains? Recently, our grandmother has a bad appetite, and I want to change it for her. ”

The woman smiled and replied, "Yes, we have a lot of mountains and water here, and there are all kinds of rivers." If you want to eat, I'll ask the man in the family to catch a few fish and send them over, taste them first, and if you're used to eating, I'll send them later. ”

Qi Jingui's family nodded with satisfaction.

The rough little maid in the kitchen had already counted the firewood and other things and carefully reported them to Qi Jingui's family.

Qi Jingui's family took out a booklet from his arms, found a brush, licked the tip of the pen, and wrote it down on the book.

As he wrote, he said to the woman: "Today I have sent a total of 10 loads of firewood, 10 jars of rice wine, 2 jars of sour bamboo shoots, 1 or 2 each of bamboo sunflower, golden fungus, green head fungus, etc., and ...... scallion."

The woman didn't speak, but every time Qi Jingui's family said something, she nodded silently.

"A total of ten taels of silver, at the end of the month, go to the account room to settle it."

Qi Jingui's family closed the book and said to the woman.

The woman had already calculated it in her heart and made sure that it was correct, so she smiled and nodded: "Listen to you, I will come to bring you fish tomorrow." ”

The woman led a few villagers, carrying empty baskets, out of the courtyard and leaving through the back door.

After leaving the back office, several mountain people separated.

The woman walked alone to the East Street, found a humble shop, and when she saw that no one was paying attention, she put her burden and a bamboo basket at the door, and entered the shop herself.

"Qi Jingui? The servants of the Qi family, because they are not reused, have a lot of dissatisfaction with the grandmother in charge,"

Zhu received the reply from the next person, thought for a moment, and muttered: "Well, this family can use it." ”

Didn't the Han people say that the embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in an anthill.

A small traitor inside is worth thousands of troops outside.

Zhu commanded: "Very good, this clue is very important, let them continue to stare at it." I want to know Qi Gu's every move. ”

……

Capital.

The eldest princess's birthday banquet ended successfully, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

The whole Qi family was tired enough, but the matter was not over yet, on the second day of the birthday banquet, Yao Xiruo was strong and led a few housekeepers to continue to be busy.

Porcelain should be cleaned, counted, and put into storage, all kinds of screens and ornaments should also be put away, and a large number of gifts must also be received separately from the warehouse.

After seven or eight days of being busy, Yao Xiruo was busy with everything.

She can't rest yet, that matter can't be delayed, she has to do it as soon as possible.

Opening his eyes and looking at the curtain above his head for a while, Yao Xiruo sorted out what he wanted to do today and got up decisively.

"Fourth grandmother, there are people outside asking to see you." The little maid replied.

Yao Xiruo had just changed into his clothes for going out, and when he heard this, he asked, "Who is it?" Is there a prayer post? ”

The little maid shook her head: "The porter doesn't recognize it, there is no post, the person only said that she was a neighbor of Grandma Xiqijin." ”

Yao Xiruo frowned, and was about to say, 'I don't see', when I heard the last half of the sentence, I couldn't help but be stunned.

Gugaro's neighbors?

What are these words?

Gu Jialuo had been living in Zhao Guogong's Mansion before he got married, and after he got married, he was in Wenchang Hutong, and Yao Xiruo knew the neighbors on both sides.

Where did this 'neighbor' come from?

Wait, there's one more place...... A strange light flashed in Yao Xiruo's eyes, "Let her in." ”
