Chapter 283: I'm Waiting for You
Ouyang Ling'er slowly regained her look, put on a beautiful smile on her face again, and with the support of the maid, she also got into the carriage and drove in the other direction, but it was obviously not the Guogong Mansion.
Gu Xinyu closed her eyes in the carriage to recuperate, Chunmei was obedient and silent, and gently tidied up her cloak for Gu Xinyu.
He Chunli glanced at each other, and his eyes were full of worry.
That little concubine is so good-looking, what if Mu Han comes back and is lost in her mind, her young lady will definitely be sad and sad at that time.
Gu Xinyu was a little puzzled in his heart, this Ouyang Ling'er got up early in the morning to say goodbye to himself?
It's really idle, it seems that the management of this country mansion is average, how can a concubine be allowed to come and go at will.
"Chun Li, after I get to the restaurant in a while, you go to the Guogong Mansion and ask what's going on? This is a token, you can come and go freely, you can find Mrs. Kang. ”
Waiting for Gu Xinyu to get out of the car, after turning her head and seeing Mrs. Kang getting off the carriage behind, she smiled, walked up quickly, and after a simple greeting, they went into the backyard of Dingdingxiang together, Ziqing got the news, and waited for Gu Xinyu here early, although I don't know if people will come today.
After Mama Liang served tea, she withdrew, and Mrs. Kang was not polite, and said straight to the point: "Young lady, I originally wanted to go to the mansion, but when I saw that Ouyang Ling'er at the door, I still didn't get out of the car, I have been following your carriage just now, and Ouyang Ling'er arrived at the Guogong Mansion last night, and the grandfather didn't see her, and Mrs. Tai met her." However, it was obvious that Mrs. Tai didn't like her, and muttered how to get such a fox to be by the eldest grandson's side, which obviously made the family uneasy."
After Mrs. Kang took a sip of tea, she continued: "Ouyang Ling'er brought a lot of guards, but she was stopped outside the mansion by Grandpa Guo, and only allowed a few mothers-in-law and maids to enter the door, and besides, the dowry or anything else was not allowed to be brought in." Grandpa Guo said. There is no such rule in the Guogong Mansion, Zhou Muhan is not at home at present, so he will be put outside for the time being, and then Ouyang Ling'er will leave the house when Zhou Muhan comes back to deal with it. said that he would not be able to enter the door until the approval of the mistress. She seems to be living in a house in the city. It should have been given to her by her father, but it's not clear what happened. ”
The other Mrs. Kang is not easy to say, because she is also from a concubine. Although she was corrected, she still couldn't erase the fact that she used to be a concubine, so in front of Gu Xinyu, she remained silent after saying this.
Gu Xinyu looked at the sky, it was not early, and he said a few words of gossip with the two of them, and then said with a smile: "Mrs. Kang, thank you, I can't accompany you more today, I have to go to the Yamen, and I will invite you to tea another day." ”
Mrs. Kang hurriedly said: "Young lady, you are saying this to see the outside, my family Yujie was so worried that she didn't close her eyes all night last night."
"Hehe, by the way, Mrs. Kang, you go back and ask Yujie, I am going to follow the caravan of Taoyuan Villa to Shouchang City and Zhangli City in ten days, Ziqing and Changle also followed, I don't know if Yujie will go, if you go, just prepare, and I will pick her up then."
Mrs. Kang's eyebrows were curled with joy, and she nodded: "Okay, I'll go back and ask her, but I can tell you now, she will definitely follow, if it weren't for the fear of affecting your business, she would have been glued to you all day long." ”
Several people looked at each other, and then laughed.
Gu Xinyu got into the carriage and soon arrived at Sinong Yamen, and entered the main hall, Lord Li greeted him early, and he was not polite, and the two of them sat down separately and began to discuss the vegetable picking date in the eight hundred conservatories.
The time was calculated, and the date was calculated, and the time was set nine days later.
"Lord Li, this is the last purchase, you will convey it to the officials below in a while, and then notify the counties and villages, otherwise, there will definitely be some to keep, you can tell them to keep it for yourself to eat, or transport it to the market to sell, but there should be nothing left."
"Well, I heard Li Dazhu say that after the conservatory in his house was sold this time, there was nothing left, and the rest was kept for the New Year, and relatives and friends went to send some," Master Li said with a smile.
"Well, that's the best, but remember to convey it again, don't miss anything." Gu Xinyu admonished again.
Master Li nodded: "Don't worry, young lady, by the way, I heard that you are also going to set off with the caravan this time?" ”
"Yes, I'm going to go out and have a look."
"Alas, the young lady's heart is really extraordinary!" Master Li said with emotion, in fact, he was a little resistant to Gu Xinyu at the beginning, even if he supported it, it was for Gu Jinyu's sake.
It's just that he didn't expect it, but now he admires it very much, let's just say that these 800 farmers have basically become rich households, which is a long process in many people's homes in many places, from a state of poverty and whiteness to being fed and clothed, not to mention that there is surplus silver in their hands.
And now that process has been cut short suddenly, and in just a few months, their lives have been turned upside down.
Eight hundred households, even if there are an average of seven people in a family, that is 5,600 people, that is to say, under the leadership of the Sinong Yamen, 5,600 peasants live a good life with food and clothing.
And what about next year? Will it be a tenfold increase?
Master Li suddenly became a little enthusiastic, if that is the case, everyone in the Si Nong Yamen will have great merit, and they will also be rewarded by the imperial court.
And now Si Nong Yamen, in the hearts of the peasants, it is a very noble and powerful existence, and sometimes, his words are more effective than the words of the county master.
Lord Li suddenly bowed down and gave a salute, Gu Xinyu was frightened, this Lord Li was about the same age as his father, and he was very good, so he couldn't accept his courtesy.
She quickly dodged and asked Master Li, "Why are you so polite, Uncle Li, you scared me." ”
She called Uncle Li to remind Master Li that she treated him as an elder by Gu Xinyu.
"Young lady, I understand what you mean, but today, I implore you for one thing, I hope you can agree!"
"What's the matter, tell me about it!" Gu Xinyu asked with some curiosity.
"No matter what bad things happen, you must first remember that you are the Si Nong Shilang of the three cities and sixteen counties in the north, and in the spring of next year, there will be tens of thousands of poor families, waiting for you eagerly to pull them out of the abyss of poverty!" Master Lee spoke in an emotional voice
Gu Xinyu's eyes were a little moist, she understood the meaning of Master Li's words, and at the same time, her heart was also very touched, yes, no matter how bad the days were, no matter who added to the blockage for themselves, even if she was temporarily replacing the farmer for one day, then she had to do a good job in this day.
This is my own responsibility, and it is also what I should do.
Compared with these things, those intrigues and jealousy of the back house have nothing to do with her Gu Xinyu (to be continued.) )
