Xiao Jiangbei is not a person who likes to be false and wronged, he simply met with everyone at the moment, went to the restaurant for lunch together, and in the afternoon, he went to the governor's mansion to find Tang Wannian to understand the situation in Liaodong.

I didn't come back until the evening, and the Governor's Palace was full of ready-made furniture, as long as the bedding and daily necessities were replaced, and the remaining things that needed to be purchased could only be purchased slowly in the future.

Gu Qiluo commanded the girls and mothers-in-law to be busy all afternoon, and finally this Nuoda Mansion had some homely appearance, because it had just been stationed, it was very busy everywhere, and only a big pot of noodles sat in the kitchen at night, and made a few side dishes, celery and peanut rice, shallots mixed with tofu, pig's head meat, etc., everyone was very tired, but they also had a good time.

For a few days, Gu Qiluo led people to be busy arranging the General Military Mansion every day, this is her home for the next two or three years or even longer, of course, she must do her best. Now that the furniture has basically been added, she can finally breathe a sigh of relief, and the next step is to take a look at the people Zeng Yuan has hired outside these days, and start preparing to establish a trade route from Liaodong to the capital.

This time she only brought Xinghua Chunyu and Qiurong Qiuju four girls over, as for Qiuqing, she left the other party in the Hou Mansion, and when she arrived in Liaodong, she and Xiao Jiangbei had countless things to be busy, but she didn't want to guard against a girl with a hot heart, what if the other party saw Xiao Jiangbei who "couldn't attack for a long time", and jumped off the wall in a fit of anger and climbed his bed? Although she believes in Xiao Jiangbei, there are too many ways in this world to make a man lose his mind, and she doesn't want to capsize in the gutter.

"Grandma, let's stop for a while, and finally the house is finished. Why don't you take a look around? What kind of plan is written here right away, and what about the trade line one day earlier and one day later? ”

Xinghua brought a cup of hot tea over and put it on Gu Qiluo's table. While persuading diligently, he didn't raise his head when he saw Gu Qiluo and said, "Haven't you seen it all?" It's all good, everything that should be purchased has been purchased, there are only a few pieces of furniture left to be made, you and Chunyu Qiurong Qiuju can do it if anyone goes out, why waste my energy? This is obviously overkill. ”

Xinghua rolled her eyes, shook her head, and said, "What the slave means." Let grandma walk around the house and relax, you used to look at it and check it, and look at it again. If there is something wrong, point it out, and praise it with satisfaction is over. I'm talking about enjoying the scenery, not anything else, just the chrysanthemums I bought. Now it's all planted in the garden. When it was really full of flowers, beautiful and tight, grandma went over to see what the flowers could do? Can you still delay your big event? ”

Before the words fell, I heard the report of Chunyuyu outside the door: "Grandma, Mrs. Tang is here." ”

"Oh?"

Gu Qiluo hurriedly stood up and personally greeted the door, Mrs. Tang was the wife of Tang Wannian, the governor of Liaodong, although the governor's mansion and the general soldier's mansion were separated, they were built next to each other. The backyard of the two houses is separated by only one wall.

At this time, Mrs. Tang walked in the door, followed by several maids. Everyone was holding a pot of chrysanthemums in their hands, and when they saw Gu Qiluo, they smiled affectionately: "I came uninvited again, I heard that you buy chrysanthemums here, I expected that you are a person who loves chrysanthemums, and it happens that there are a few famous trees at home, and I can't take care of them for a long time, so I simply sent them to you, you are a flower lover, and I think you will not disappoint them." ”

"Mrs. Tang is polite. I don't really know anything, but I just think that in late autumn, I plant some chrysanthemums in the garden, which look vigorous and uplifting, but they are actually some ordinary and easy-to-feed varieties. Gu Qiluo smiled like a flower, and as he spoke, his eyes swept over the pots of chrysanthemums, and then his eyes showed a look of amazement, and he hurriedly stepped forward to take a closer look, and Fang was surprised: "This pot of red gold peony is usually difficult to see, but Madame can find it?" ”

"Madame still doesn't understand flowers, and as soon as she says this, she will reveal her stuffing, so it can be seen that you are lying. Everyone knows that this red gold peony is good-looking, but there are not many who can recognize it. Mrs. Tang also smiled happily, and pointed to another pot of chrysanthemums as white as snow and flowers the size of a sea bowl and said, "Then Mrs. look at what this pot is?" ”

Gu Qiluo took a closer look and muttered: "This pot is a bit like a white peony, not quite like a white-haired lion, no, this ...... Hmm, it's supposed to be a white ape offering fruit, right? Ah, this is also a rare treasure that is usually hard to see, where did the lady get it from? ”

Mrs. Tang nodded and smiled: "It's amazing, I can even recognize this." I'm also a good flower, so I often ordered people to collect it, and I got these. Now I am relieved to see that my wife also loves flowers and understands flowers like this. With that, he asked the girls to put down the pots of flowers. Gu Qiluo hurriedly excused herself, but where was she willing? As a last resort, Gu Qiluo had no choice but to let Xinghua Chunyu step forward to take it, and here he let Mrs. Tang go to the back room to serve tea and talk.

Mrs. Tang had been here a few times, and she had an excellent relationship with Gu Qiluo, and she spoke for a while before leaving. After she left, Gu Qiluo looked at the pots of famous chrysanthemums in the house, and her face was not happy, as if she was in deep thought.

"Grandma, what's wrong? But there is a problem with these pots of flowers sent by Mrs. Tang? Chunyu likes these chrysanthemums very much, and has never seen such a beautiful one, but he saw that the master's expression was wrong, so he hurriedly asked with concern.

"Do you know how much these chrysanthemums are worth?" Gu Qiluo said seriously, and Chunyu smiled and said: "Grandma said that this is a famous product, and it must not be very cheap, but no matter how expensive it is, it is just a pot of flowers, how expensive can it be?" It's not a flower tree made of gold, silver and jewelry, well, the slave guessed, at most ten taels of silver, it wouldn't be more expensive, right? ”

"Jokes." Gu Qiluo sneered, shook his head and said: "The famous gold belt in the peony, one is a few hundred taels of gold, although this red gold peony is not as good as the gold belt, but it is not much worse, there is no two or three hundred taels of gold, can you buy it?" Ordinary people don't say they bought it, even if they deliberately look for it, it is difficult to find such an authentic one. Although the other plants are not as good as the red gold peony, they will not be bad, okay, these pots of chrysanthemums, without Qian'er eight hundred taels of gold, it is also rare, she is such a big gift as soon as she makes a move, where do you say she got the money? Could it be that Lord Tang's money is all used to buy chrysanthemums? Even so, these must be her cherished things, and how could she be willing to give them to me? ”

When she said this, Xinghua also muttered: "This Mrs. Tang is indeed very enthusiastic, we have only been here for a few days?" She'd been here several times, but ...... It's hard to say, maybe she just saw someone from the capital, so she was a little happy...... "Speaking of which, she can't go on, the first few times you can say this, but today this chrysanthemum is sent over, obviously not a simple joy can be said, such a precious flower is sent casually, if you say that you don't have a heart, the ghost doesn't believe it."

"Right? You know something is wrong, too. Gu Qiluo stood up, went to a few pots of chrysanthemums and turned around, and was about to speak again, when he heard the sound of footsteps outside, Xinghua smiled and said: "It's the master who is back, and it's too early to come back today." ”

Gu Qiluo turned around and looked, and sure enough, he saw Xiao Jiangbei walking in the door, his face was as heavy as water, and when he saw her, Fang reluctantly smiled and said, "Everything is in order at home now, you should also rest, right?" ”

"The slave maid just said that, but where is grandma willing to listen? I made a plan here, but then Mrs. Tang came over, and she stopped writing. Xinghua said with a smile, and went to pour hot tea for Xiao Jiangbei, she could see that the master was not in a very good mood.

Xiao Jiangbei took the tea and drank it in one gulp, and Gu Qiluo said: "I know you have thoughts these days, but I haven't asked you, what's wrong?" ”

When the words fell, I heard the voice of a daughter-in-law outside: "Xinghua girl, someone is looking for you outside." ”

Xinghua agreed, asked Gu Qiluo for instructions, and then turned around and went out, here Xiao Jiangbei frowned and said: "I see that this Tang Wannian is not a good thing, so my heart is a little heavy, even some people in the General Military Mansion are not very peaceful, and they faintly think that he is the first to look." You know me, the battlefield is arranged, I am not afraid of being the first soldier, and even if there are any conspiracies, I dare to continue, the military book when I was a child was not read in vain, but if there is a conspiracy and trickery in this officialdom, I am afraid that I may not be able to deal with it, the battlefield and officialdom are different after all, Tang Wannian has been the governor of Liaodong for more than ten years, which shows that his city is deep, and now he is testing me, and I only have a false relationship with him, and it is not a way after all. ”

Gu Qiluo was relieved: "The husband is indeed the husband, everyone says that you are both civil and military, and they all say that as long as you go out, there is nothing unfair." In the face of such eulogy, you can still maintain such a clear head, and this alone is beyond the reach of many people. Since you can realize this, take your time, take it steady, and not be afraid that the old fox's tail will not be exposed. After speaking, he looked at the chrysanthemums on the table, and told Mrs. Xiao Jiangbei Tang about sending chrysanthemums, and sure enough, she heard her husband say in a deep voice: "It seems that this old fox is a little impatient, today is a few pots of chrysanthemums, will he dare to send gold in a few days?" Hum! He doesn't inquire, am I a money-loving person? ”

"Is there anyone in the world who does not love money? It's just that we have enough money to spend, and enough money, so we don't care so much. Gu Qiluo asked Xiao Jiangbei to sit down in the chair and muttered: "I don't think Lord Tang may not know this, the auction was too loud at the beginning. So now he will be tricky, only let Mrs. come to make friends with me first, do what I like, everyone knows that you and I are in love, he is going to take the Madame route, a little bit to test our bottom line. ”

Xiao Jiangbei nodded and said: "What you said makes sense, even so, if you are wronged, you will deal with Mrs. Tang first, and I will think about how to arrange it." Not! He must find a person who is not inferior to this old fox in his intrigues and tricks to cure him, but such a person is not easy to find, and most of the people who are good at scheming are full of bad water.
