[Ran^Text^Library] Although Gu Mohan exterminated the horse thieves, the trade route was not immediately passable, autumn had come, and the northwest would soon face heavy snow and ice, and no one dared to go in this season.

Gu Xinyue settled down and took care of the things in front of her first.

Qin Qi mentioned a few words about the competition between the three palaces in the capital because of Gu Taijun and her, but he didn't say more, so Gu Xinyue didn't ask again.

Now that it was time for Tongguo to start collecting, she didn't have time to think about anything else.

Qin Qi brought back a hundred and ten people, although the body was more or less mutilated, but one by one they were all powerful people, and after three days of sealing the mountain, they harvested the tung fruits on the mountain.

Then it was transported to the new oil mill overnight.

The new oil mill is in her small village in Qingzhou, and after she and Qin Qi went there once in the summer, she took a fancy to it.

The mountains are high and dense, the water is clear, the springs are murmuring, and bypassing a hidden mountain stream, you can reach the side of the big river, from which you can go directly to Qinzhou and then to Ganzhou, which is much closer.

The people in the new oil mill are all veterans who have retired this time, and both safety and production can be guaranteed.

And some of the tung oil trees that were moved from the new bridge were also planted in the mountains over there, and they were mixed with ginkgo lacquered wood.

Tongguo had just been sent away, and Steward Wang, who went to Shandong to collect peanuts, brought back a thousand quintals of peanuts.

Gu Xinyue began to toss how to squeeze peanut oil again, and also urged the sesame oil in the oil mill to increase the output, because Steward Qin ordered another 10,000 catties of oil to go out.

When the sesame oil was sent to the capital, the peanut oil also began to be ground in small batches, and it was already the Mid-Autumn Festival.

*

Pomegranate had already made all kinds of moon cakes and made a few large table dishes, Gu Xinyue directly called Qin Qi Qinglianzi and them in, and everyone had a lively Mid-Autumn Festival together.

As soon as he was ready to start the banquet, a guard hurriedly came in: "Girl, captain, there is a royal guard of honor coming, and it will be here in half an hour." ”

After returning that day, Qin Qi set up secret posts in Zhuangzi on both sides, and any movements could be known in advance.

Thinking that Qin Qi had just returned from the capital, Gu Xinyue looked at Qin Qi unconsciously.

The corners of Qin Qi's lips hooked, and he said, "The girl is ready to accept the order." ”

"Order?" Stunned for a moment, seeing that Qin Qi was only smiling and silent, Gu Xinyue didn't ask anymore, and asked to clean up the things in the back first, or to make this a clean place to recuperate, and hurriedly shouted Qinglianzi to poke it twice, so that his face and skin looked like a seriously ill person.

When everything was tossed, someone called the door outside the courtyard gate.

Gu Xinyue held Cai Wei's hand and walked to the main hall of the front yard with a sick look, and Chang Gong was talking to Qin Qi fairly.

During the rebellion in the capital, he followed Chu Yu into the palace, but fell into a trap, Chu Yu was protected by secret guards, but he was left behind, if Gu Mohan hadn't arrived with someone, and Qin Qi rescued him, there would be no current deputy chief Chang Gonggong.

Seeing Gu Xinyue come in, Father-in-law Chang unconsciously looked at her twice.

The girl's figure was delicate and pale, and although her facial features were good-looking, they had lost their color because of her dull yellow skin.

Looking at it, it makes people feel pity.

Seeing that Gu Xinyue was about to worship, Chang Gonggong hurriedly helped him and said: "The county lord doesn't need to be so polite, the saint also said that the county lord is empty, but it is just some rewards, and it is the same when sitting." ”

Gu Xinyue still bowed and said, "Thank you father-in-law, father-in-law has worked hard." ”

Seeing that she was so polite, Father-in-law Chang nodded in his heart, and said with a more cordial face: "The county lord has suffered, and the saint also knows the grievances suffered by the county lord, and has ordered the lady to reprimand the old lady of the Gu Mansion for being unkind to the old man, and asked the old lady to think more about it in the mansion, and within a year, he will not be allowed to enter the palace." ”

Gu Xinyue's heart didn't move, Gu Lao Taijun loves face the most, such a big slap is more uncomfortable than her life!

Happy in her heart, still with a sad look on her face, Gu Xinyue wiped the corners of her eyes, and said sadly: "Thank you, Holy Lord, the courtiers also want to be filial to their grandmother's knees, but ...... But ......"

Speaking of the back, it is difficult to speak.

Gonggong Chang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "The county lord doesn't need to be sad, the saint has already said that the county lord is guarding the tomb for the county king, this year's time, no matter what, you can't be called, and when the time comes, the saint will send someone to welcome you into the county lord's mansion." ”

"Thank you Uncle Sheng, thank you father-in-law!" Gu Xinyue bowed down again.

Gonggong Chang coughed lightly, took out a yellow silk holy decree from his sleeve, and did not want Gu Xinyue to kneel, and read directly: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, the lord of Rongning County is the female filial piety, and he should be an example for women, and he will be given one hundred taels of gold, three hundred ends of colored satin, ten pieces of palace costumes, and thirty pieces of pearl and jade." ”

Although it is not much, it is also a small fortune, and the most important thing is that the emperor opened Chrysostom, who dares to say that she is not filial?!

The joy on her face could no longer be hidden, Gu Xinyue hurriedly held Cai Wei's hand and knelt down and kowtowed, thanking the emperor for his great kindness.

"There are also the rewards of Concubine Shu and Concubine De here, the list is there, I won't read them one by one." Father-in-law Chang helped Gu Xinyue up and said: "The girl is weak, so let's go back early to rest, and the old slave has to rush back to pay the errand, so I will leave first." ”

"Brother Qin, send my father-in-law."

Qin Qi gave Gu Xinyue a salute, led Chang Gonggong out, and when he walked through the dark shadow by the door, he stuffed a silver ticket into Chang Gonggong's hand.

"Lord Qin, this old slave doesn't dare to accept it." Father-in-law Chang hurriedly grabbed Qin Qi's hand and wanted to send the silver ticket back.

"Father-in-law, this is a little bit of our girl's heart." Qin Qi quickly withdrew his hand and said in a low voice: "I just ask my father-in-law to take care of it, don't let our girl become a pastime for the palace maiden." ”

Chang Gonggong's expression was grim, and as soon as he turned his hand, he put the silver ticket into his sleeve and said in a low voice: "Lord Qin has a life-saving grace for the old slave, as long as Lord Qin says it, the old slave will do it, why do you need to be so ......"

"My father-in-law also needs to be in the palace." Qin Qi smiled innocently and said, "Besides, if it was to save his life, wouldn't my father-in-law also save his next life in the first place?" ”

Can my shouting be the same as being protected by you and fighting your way out?

said this in his heart, but Chang Gonggong felt that his heart was extremely ironing, and the silver ticket was a small matter, but Qin Qi's attitude made him very comfortable.

After a slight pause, Father-in-law Chang stopped in a place where there was no one around, and laughed in a low voice: "Brother Qin is joking, I know, I will pay more attention." However, Brother Qin doesn't have to worry, as soon as General Gu's performance is over, the emperor will definitely not let the ladies mess around anymore. ”

Qin Qi was surprised: "The general's recital? ”

"You don't know?" Father-in-law Chang was also taken aback: "General Gu said that since the queen said that he and the lord of Rongning were not filial, then he resigned and came back, and brought the lord of Rongning back to the house, and asked Gu Lao Taijun to punish him, and said that all the rewards given by the emperor have been used to compensate the soldiers who died in battle, and those Zhuangzi are now also used to settle the wounded soldiers, Gu Lao Taijun wants him to take out this money, he can't take it out now, and he can't give it to Zhuangzi, and after the three-year filial piety period, if the emperor still has something to do for him, he can advance this money to Gu Lao Taijun first, and then he will lead the troops." ”

Thinking of Chu Yu's face when he saw this secret fold and the fragments that were smashed out of the study, Chang Gonggong unconsciously hooked the corners of his lips and said, "Didn't you sue General Gu about this?" ”

Qin Qi shook his head and said: "No, my girl said that the general guards the city for the emperor at the border pass, don't take such a trivial matter to disturb the general." ”

"It's a sensible one." Grandpa Chang sighed, frowned again, and said, "Who is that?" ”

"A few days ago, I went to the capital and heard a piece of news." Qin Qi said lightly: "It was said that the queen was going to send someone to Ganzhou to reprimand the general, and I wanted the general to marry the queen's sister-in-law, Miss Wei Si." ”

"Really?!" Chang Gonggong was shocked.

"I heard someone say it at the food stall, and the man said that he was the steward of the Wei family of Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, and his daughter-in-law was on an errand with Mrs. Wei, and I heard from Mrs. Wei about this."

Chang Gonggong took his leave, said no more, asked the carriages to hand over by themselves, and took people and horses to the capital quickly.
