Chapter 190: Letter from the capital

He used "developed", not "rich", so Gu Qiluo knew that this guy didn't think about selling these rare medicinal materials at all, probably all of them had to be kept for storage or medicine. Because he was about to speak, he heard Huang Wu next to him smile and said: "I have been in the mountain for so many years, and together I can't compare to the same thing I harvested when I entered the mountain this time, so it can be seen that this time I borrowed the light of the Hou Ye and the owner." ”

Gu Qiluo smiled: "What does this have to do with us? It can only be said that everyone's luck is good. ”

Huang Wu sighed: "I'm afraid the owner doesn't know, we have always had this kind of saying here, there are mountain gods in this mountain, and others are just that, but if the nobles come, the mountain gods have to entertain them, Hou Ye is the reincarnation of the god of war, and the owner is also Mrs. Hou Ye, the identities of both of you are unspeakably expensive, these good things must be entertained by the mountain gods." ”

"And that kind of statement?" Gu Qiluo couldn't cry or laugh, and wanted to say that this was all superstition, but when he saw Huang Wu's determined appearance, he swallowed the words in his mouth again, and said secretly, they like to think like this, why do they have to expose it? In this way, if there is no such luck in the next time you enter the mountain, there will be no huge gap in everyone's hearts.

The way out of the mountain was not very peaceful, and I met a few jackals, needless to say, Xiao Jiangbei was cleaned up. However, it was as if the mountain god was really entertaining them, and when they saw that they could go out of the mountain in half a day, they actually met a group of fragrant roe deer by a water source, so what was there to be polite? Xiao Jiangbei's arrows rained down, and he shot down four or five of them when the fragrant roe deer scattered and fled, because his arrows were heavy. So those slam deer were killed with one blow, and they didn't even have time to bite the sachet under their belly.

Ying Feihong was about to go crazy, and rushed out with a shout. There was a hand dancing next to the corpses of a few fragrant roe deer, but Gu Qiluo was related, but before entering the mountain, she promised Xiao Jiangbei that she would not care about the other party's hunting, in fact, Xiao Jiangbei was purely to accompany her to play this time, and she didn't show her martial arts at all, otherwise I don't know how many animals would suffer.

He slapped his face vigorously. The animals of my time are far from being protected. Gu Qiluo hardened his heart and made a casual appearance, but he didn't dare to look at the fallen roe deer on the ground.

Half a day later. They went out of the woods, gathered together for their last meal, and then went their separate ways. Xiao Jiangbei and Gu Qiluo returned to the General Military Mansion under the escort of several personal soldiers, and Ying Feihong and Huang Wu went directly back to Xiao Gu Yaozhuang. Cheng Qi's injuries need to be well cared for. But he insisted on following the medicine village in person, and watched Lingzhi exchange for money before he was willing to go home, and the bolt and the others couldn't resist him, and they also wanted to see and see, so this large group of people rushed to Xiao Gu Medicine Village at the foot of Beifeng Mountain. Zhong Chunfeng naturally followed with a dead face.

This trip into the mountains to pick ginseng is considered to be a lot of money, so everyone is happy. After returning to the General Soldier's Mansion, the soldiers carried the prey to the kitchen to clean up: the Siberian tiger was carried back. Ying Feihong told him that none of the tiger bones could be thrown, and all of them had to be kept. Three other sachets were also taken and brought back. There were more than 20 other prey such as roe deer, elk, muntjac, etc., and for a while, the entire general army was full of laughter.

However, although the harvest is abundant, it is not without a price, and those dangers are over after all, so there is no need to mention them. But Gu Qiluo's originally white and tender face was a little red, and in addition, she hadn't taken a good shower for more than half a month, which also made her on the verge of collapse. Now that she is back, the first thing she did was to tell her mother-in-law to boil hot water, and then she soaked in the big bathtub for most of the hour, and took a bath happily, and then changed into comfortable and soft home clothes and came to the main house.

Qiu Rong didn't follow this time, so the affairs of the family were all handled by her, and there were not many things, nothing more than a few personal exchanges, at this time, they were reported one by one, Gu Qiluo listened to it, and felt that there was nothing wrong, so he nodded and praised it.

Qiu Rong took out a letter from his arms and said to Gu Qiluo: "This is a letter from the Marquis Mansion in the capital sent by the previous child, and the slave didn't dare to move, waiting for grandma to come back and see it in person." In addition, it is now the end of autumn, and the rent should be collected in various places, although this year is our first year in Liaodong, and according to Grandma's arrangement, the tenants and people of other ethnic groups will open up the wasteland and farm, so Grandma specially instructed that the rent is reduced by one percent compared with previous years, and the newly reclaimed wasteland is newly reclaimed because of the messy things planted, so Grandma ordered not to collect rent, but even so, because this year is good, the number of slaves and maids counting the rent is also very considerable. Therefore, when Zeng came to talk to the slave and maid from afar, the slave and maid did not dare to make the decision, and only waited for the grandmother to come back and show it. ”

Gu Qiluo smiled: "What are you waiting for me to come back and show me?" You're afraid that you won't be able to keep busy, so you'll wait for me to come back and be busy. After speaking, he smiled and said: "But this is indeed a big trouble, don't talk about you, it's me, I can't do it without your help." Fortunately, I wish there were as many troubles as possible. It is said that Huguang is familiar with the world, and maybe one day, it can also become Liaodong with the world. ”

Xinghua smiled: "Grandma's ambition is not small. But don't be so happy, although Liaodong has a good year this year, but I heard that the Yellow River in Henan has flooded this year, flooding a lot of fields, that is, the two lakes, and there has been a big flood this year, which is said in the imperial court newspaper. So what about the treasury now, not necessarily, the grain for disaster relief has been distributed, and more grain is not allowed to enter the warehouse? Grandma be careful that someone will exploit her. ”

Gu Qiluo said indifferently: "Exploitation can't be exploited on our heads, and your lord is not a vegetarian." If we collect grain normally, we should naturally respond, and we can't finish eating, and we don't expect to raise the price of grain and sell it for money, wouldn't it be better to leave it to the treasury to level the price of rice? ”

Qiu Rong said: "Although grandma's words are reasonable, I am afraid that the treasury will be empty, and I will not give enough money after receiving grain, and when the time comes, the lord will go to the palace to file a lawsuit, and there is no money in the treasury, and the emperor and the old man will not be in a rut." ”

Chunyu smiled: "This is Sister Qiurong doesn't know, right?" A while ago, I also heard Brother Zhong say that because the sea ban was opened this year, the tax amount was 30% more than in previous years, and this was only the first year, and many large businesses only held a wait-and-see attitude and did not dare to throw off their arms. If you wait for another two years, the benefits of this sea ban will be more prominent, and at that time, as long as you don't use soldiers to fight for years in a row, the granary of the treasury will be increasingly full, so I thought, even if there is no money in the treasury this year, we are not afraid, let the household department give the lord a note, and we will definitely be able to pay it back in the future. ”

"Okay, okay, you've all planned it, if it's so simple, what do you need so many officials to do? Anyway, you've done everything you need to do these days, and in a few days we'll be busy with the rent. ”

As Gu Qiluo spoke, she opened the letter from the Hou Mansion in her hand, and at first she still had a smile on her face, but after only reading a few lines, her face gradually became solemn. Xinghua Chunyu and Qiurong both looked at her face, and when they saw this, they both stopped and didn't dare to laugh anymore.

After reading the letter, Gu Qiluo couldn't help but slam his fist on the table, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Damn, what is this woman going to do?" Is she trying to make the Hou Mansion chicken dog restless? Want everyone to have a good life? ”

"Grandma, but what's wrong with the Hou Mansion?" Xinghua hurriedly stood up, poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Gu Qiluo, while cautiously asking.

"It's not just inappropriate." Gu Qiluo took a sip of tea, only to feel that his heart was full of anger and depression, thinking that the three in front of him were all henchmen, so he hated and said: "The mansion is simply turned upside down now. Sister Cherry has moved out to live with her aunt, the woman...... The wife somehow pouted the old man and wanted to marry the third brother, but the third brother refused, collided with the woman, was beaten by the master, and knelt in the ancestral hall, and the old lady was so angry that she couldn't afford to be sick......"

When she said this, Xinghua exclaimed, and in the end, she was completely stunned, Chunyue and Qiurong were also dumbfounded, and it took a long time for Qiurong to mutter: "How can this be?" Aunt Xiang has always been flexible, if it weren't for the fact that things reached 120,000 points, she would never have written these in the letter to annoy grandma. ”

Gu Qiluo didn't speak, her face was cloudy, so the three girls didn't dare to speak anymore. After a long time, Fang heard her say calmly: "Qiu Rong went to the study to see if your master was there?" If so, let him come back. Apricot blossom spring rain, pack up our things, we may have to go back to the capital in advance. ”

"Huh?"

One sentence caused an exclamation, and Xinghua hurriedly persuaded: "Grandma, don't hold your breath first, after all, things haven't reached the worst yet......"

Without waiting to finish speaking, he saw Gu Qiluo looking at him with a heavy gaze, and said in a deep voice: "Isn't this the worst?" I know the third brother's heart, he is stubborn, don't look at the easy-going and amiable on weekdays, but if it really gets stiff, I don't know what will happen? The old lady fell ill again. Although Aunt Xiang said that she had been in charge of the house for more than ten years in the past, she faced this new wife, not to mention that she would never play any conspiracy, but the city was deep, and there was no room for maneuver in front of the other party, because the lord was completely oriented towards this new wife. ”

How could Xinghua not understand these truths? Seeing that the master had spoken out, she bit her lip and said, "But grandma, even if you go back, these situations won't change anything, and the new lady can't even do anything about the old lady, what can you do with her?" After all...... She's nominally your mother-in-law. ”

"I know." Gu Qiluo sighed, looked at the letter for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "However, the family has become like this, although my aunt only said such a little bit of the situation, but this is just the most important thing, and the rest of her is afraid that I will be troubled, so she definitely didn't say it." For example, what will happen to the sister-in-law's soft temperament? Some of the girls are fierce and some are soft, but what is happening now? Aunt Xiang is a steady and reliable person, and the information she said in her letter will never be fake, but since it is not fake, the new wife can get a good mansion to such a point of miasma after half a year of entering the door, what do you say, what is her intention? Hehe! In my opinion, I'm afraid that this new lady is not a good person. (To be continued......)
