After lunch, before two o'clock, Bai Ko came to the stable and met Yan Zheng, and the groom took out two horses and sent them out. 【Wuruo.com debut】

Bai Ko rode Zaoni in front, Yan Zheng followed, and the two walked into the front alley of Zhou's house smoothly, and a brand-new mortar had been hung on the lintel of Li Fushun's house.

The courtyard door is open, you can see piles of mason's tools, there are traces of mud on the ground, Li Xinghua is sprinkling water to remove dust and sweeping the floor, she noticed movement outside the door, looked up and saw Bai Ko was dismounting, quickly put down the things in her hand, first pulled the reins of Zaoni, and called her mother and grandmother to come out to welcome the guests.

Aunt Li and Li Xinghua led the horses to the stable to settle down, and Grandma Li greeted Bai Qiao and the others to the hall, and then hurriedly went to the backyard to call her son and grandson over.

Li Fushun and Li Quanan were watching the craftsmen do things in the backyard, and when they heard that Bai Ko was bringing someone to come, they hurriedly came over to meet the guests.

Bai Ko introduced Yan Zheng to the Li family, and the rest of what he had to say had already been told to Li Xinghua last time, and Xinghua had also been conveyed to the family, since it was Gu Yun's own subordinates, the Li family had nothing to resist, and everyone just got along well.

Bringing Yan Zheng over today was originally just to recognize the road and meet people, and she didn't plan to stay and work, but the craftsmen in the backyard were already busy, so Bai Ke left Yan Zheng behind and let him take over the accounts, and she went home alone.

After returning the horse in the stable, Bai Ko walked back to Zhongming Courtyard along the Babu Alley, and when she entered the courtyard, the girls gathered around her and told her that early tomorrow morning, before the young master went out after breakfast, Pang's mother brought the newcomer over.

Because of this, the rooms vacated by the four of them are sprinkled with water and dusted.

In the afternoon, the family who delivered the letter sent Sun Qing's reply, and made an appointment for the next meeting in Xianbuji.

In the evening, when the lamp was in charge, Yan Zheng went home after dinner at Li's house, and first went to Zhongming Courtyard to find Bai Ko to reply, but it happened that she had to be busy in the kitchen at this time, and hurriedly handed over the spoon to the girls, she washed her hands and went to the front to see people.

The two were sitting under the porch at the entrance of the courtyard, and when Yan Zheng was talking about the progress of the craftsmen this afternoon, Gu Yun arrived home, and was stunned for a moment when he saw them talking here, but he didn't interrupt what they were talking about, and he went back to the house first.

Fortunately, things are simple today, just take care of the craftsmen's work, and calculate the expenses clearly, Yan Zheng looks ordinary, and his brain is actually quite lively, not the kind of person who has to hit a stick and move it, he took advantage of a little leisure time in the afternoon, walked back and forth in the front alley of Zhou's house, and roughly touched the environment.

After the two finished talking, Bai Ko felt that she had given the wrong order, and she should not choose to listen to the reply at night, because the evening was her busiest time, so she decided to meet and talk about things at the time after the prince went out every day.

Bai Ko returned to the main courtyard, Gu Yun was bathing, she turned back to the kitchen to finish the rest of the work step by step, Gu Yun went to say goodnight to the elders after eating, and proposed to his parents to clean up the former academy for him to use, it was time to use it.

Like them, boys who have reached the age of fifteen, their families will give a small academy in the front yard to deal with outside affairs, Gu Yun's small academy is the one used by his father when he was the son of the world, it is in the adjacent courtyard of the main hall, the front and back are two, the latter is a place for personal solitude, and the first one is to entertain guests and receive family members to take care of housework.

This small academy was not really idle until the eldest lord attacked the lord, and he kept filial piety for three years, and the eldest lord was still here to deal with official affairs in the house, yesterday Bai Ko said that he wanted a place to contact outsiders, he thought of this small academy, but he didn't expect Bai Ko to move so fast, and today he sent Yan Zheng to start asking him to do things.

This kind of trivial matter of the grandfather and Mrs. immediately nodded in agreement, and told Pang's mother to do it tomorrow, and then talked to her son about the winter hunt, the Ministry of Rites has officially issued a document to start preparing for this year's winter hunt, in recent days, the civil and military officials have to submit their own attendees, and the boys who have formed their own small camps must also submit the list to the Ministry of Industry in time, so as to delineate the size of their camps.

This list naturally includes all the entourage, but fortunately, Bai Ko has prepared in advance, and Gu Yun is very relieved of her.

According to the usual practice, all the expenses of the family to prepare for the winter hunt are paid by the public middle school, and this year's winter hunting time, the second and third rooms are far away, and the long house has to take on the responsibility of the head of the family, and take the boy who has reached the age of ten with him, only the youngest seventh young master Gu Shuo was left at home.

Although this is a regular annual event, it should have been taken for granted a long time ago, but considering that dozens or hundreds of people from various families set off to rush to the Balidu paddock in just a few days, it is an extremely difficult thing, the men can still ride horses, and the women and children can only endure the bumps in the carriage.

Gu Yun talked with his parents about the preparation of the division of labor, said goodnight and returned to Zhongming Courtyard, and when he passed by the kitchen, he happened to see Bai Qiao in a daze at the utensils cabinet, obviously thinking about what tools to pack, so he slipped her away.

The two went directly to Gu Yun's study, and without waiting for Qinglan to finish saluting, Gu Yun opened his mouth first.

"Qinglan, the winter hunting preparations have begun, and when I'm not at home, you run errands for Bai Ko and do some copying errands."

"Yes, young master."

"Go make a pot of tea, two cups."

Qinglan hurriedly retreated, and Gu Yun took Bai Ko and sat down separately on the Luohan couch.

"Winter hunting preparations have officially begun?"

"The Ministry of Rites issued a document today, but the specific date has not been released, and it is estimated that it will be from the end of October to the beginning of November if there is no accident."

"What is the son of a woman going to do? Is there any new division of labor? ”

"You just follow the plan you listed, those cooked foods prepared in advance are counted as a long house, except for Gu Chen and his parents, other brothers may find friends to form their own small camp, if they are willing to bring some, we will give them to them, and if they are unwilling, we will eat them ourselves."

"Okay."

"Tomorrow, Mother Pang will sort out my former academy, and you can go there to take care of things, so you don't have to stand at the gate of the courtyard and talk to people."

"yes, there's a spare space in the front yard."

"Look at you, you don't have a good memory at a young age, and you really think that there is no place for you to do things and talk in the house?"

"I'm busy, it's a workshop, it's a winter hunt, and there's trivial housework."

"Are you complaining that there are too many things to do? Do you want to reduce? Gu Yun deliberately teased Bai Ko with a bad heart.

"Nope! No need to reduce! ”

Gu Yun was amused, leaned on the cushion and laughed for a while, until Qinglan came in with the tea set and sat up straight again.

Qinglan poured two cups of tea and silently retreated to the door to wait, when she went home to report the good news, she had been taught by her family to abide by her duty, don't be too curious about the conversation between the young master and Bai Ko, she is not in that position, it is impossible to know the whole picture of any big and small affairs like a steward, she just needs to do her part.

Gu Yun is very satisfied with Qinglan's sensible, he likes to talk to Bai Ko alone, he can easily talk nonsense, and after going off topic for 100,000 miles, he magically comes back, chatting with Bai Ko is a kind of relaxation
