Recommended reading: ?>
After the two finished eating, they removed the tableware and replaced them with paper and pen, Gu Yun was going to be busy with housework next, and Bai Ko's cold had already healed, and after the two handed over the official business, Gu Yun went to the palace chief to have dinner, and asked for a pot of old wine to smack with a dead face.
Gong Changji couldn't get used to Gu Yun's appearance, and teased him that if he drank like this, his belly would only get bigger and bigger, don't want to lose weight back to the slender figure that made Bai Ko drool before.
Gu Yuncai ignored the blow of the palace chief, he drank a pot of old wine and went home to rest, preparing to pay tribute to his grandfather's big event.
At the same time, Ning Peilan came to Bai Ko's house after dinner to exercise under her guidance, and by the way, it was also the time for the two women to chat and gossip.
Bai Pei took out the bag of small abalone and asked Ning Peilan to keep it, she had seen the number of abalones, she could make it several times, and her house was not suitable for storing this kind of precious dry goods, Ning Peilan was not polite to her, smiled and said yes, let the girls take it to the kitchen tomorrow, and told Bai Ko that she would want to cook the dishes or she would come in person.
The next day, Bai Ko rushed to the workshop with the seeds to arrange errands, and now the greenhouses are all idle, and all kinds of plants planted in the spring are now harvested, and the planting boxes are all cleaned, waiting for the spring of next year to start again, so it is just right for her to try to grow vegetables.
The farmers who had helped the factory were all re-invited, and they were all excited to see the three big bags of vegetable seeds at Bai Ko's feet, and Bai Ko asked to vacate a greenhouse for breeding, after all, seeds are precious, they are obtained from the far south, if they do not breed, there will be no seeds after eating.
In addition to breeding, the factory keeps a greenhouse for its own consumption, and the rest of the greenhouses are sold to the outside world, and the same is the same when it is planted.
Because there are many seeds, and the farmers are illiterate, they can't read the notes in each seed packet, so Bai Ko also specially arranged for the few cooks who insisted on studying hard for a year to help the girls, so that they could watch the farmers not mess around, and the seeds were limited and could not be wasted.
The seeds are collected by the cooks, the farmers prepare the planting boxes and bamboo poles for the melon racks, and there is also a stove to heat up the greenhouse to raise the temperature to the summer temperature, and to prevent heat stroke in the greenhouse and the problem of too much temperature difference between the inside and outside and the problem of colds.
Such preparations had to be made for a few days, and any new additions were written in a list, and Bai Ko instructed the account office to reimburse.
As soon as there was a move on the greenhouse, the whole workshop quickly knew what was going on, and everyone happily waited for the fresh leafy greens in winter.
Bai Ko was busy here, Gu Yun changed carriages with her, borrowed her carriage and took her parents and grandmother to pay tribute to her grandfather.
The ancestral tomb of the Gu clan in the Yeguo Mansion is a cemetery given by the founding ancestor, and the founding heroes at that time had such a cemetery, so the Gu clan people who bred and developed in the capital were buried there, not far from the capital, if the young people went to pay tribute for one day, but the old lady wanted to go, considering the body of the old man, it was natural to have to prepare for two days.
The old lady has not been out of the house for several years, just because she is too old to get into the carriage because of her inconvenient legs and feet, Mrs. Gu will go out several times a month to participate in various tea parties, and the old lady's daily life is even more boring, so this time she wants to pay tribute in person, and there is a white carriage, as well as Lao Cui's old handlebar drive, and the family also supports the old lady to go out for a walk.
The carriage was waiting in the side alley outside the house, and the second and third rooms also came, after all, the house was only divided and the second room was not separated, and the whole family was naturally dispatched to pay tribute to such a heavy thing as the ancestor of the country, but in addition to the long room, the second and third rooms could only take the traditional carriage.
The old lady grabbed the handrail in the door and got into the car very easily, Gu Yun, who got into the car first, took care of his grandmother to sit in the right position, and then reached out to help his mother sit down, then his father and younger brother, and finally bolted the car door from the inside.
There were tea trays and hot water bottles on the table, there was a stove under the table, and the ventilation window was also open, Gu Yun closed the curtains on his grandmother's side a little to block the cold wind for her, but it would not completely cover the scenery outside the window.
When everyone was ready, the convoy slowly drove out of Tianshuifang under the escort of the guards, and the stable four-**** carriage made the three elders in the car smile and praise again and again.
Gu Yun borrowed Bai Ko's carriage, and Bai Ko had to use Gu Yun's carriage to remove the decorations that represented the identity of the prince of Ye Guo, that is, an ordinary carriage made of high-quality wood, and it was driven out of the Chengjun Palace, so no one would care who was sitting in the car.
Originally, Bai Qiao had made up her mind to take a holiday and rest in the past few days when Gu Yun borrowed the carriage, and she didn't want to use his carriage to run around the city, but now that there is something going on in the workshop, she can only use it, and by the way, she complains about the difficulty of making money from luxury to frugality.
Fortunately, it only took two days to deal with it, Gu Yun returned the carriage, and asked Bai Ko for the carpenter's address, just these two days, the grandmother has decided to make a new carriage and her eldest daughter-in-law to use together, in order to catch up with the beginning of the lunar month to visit relatives and friends, decided to use the same wood as Bai Ko's carriage, so that it can be done in a month, without delaying the New Year.
Bai Ko and Gu Yun's schedules were readjusted, and the two of them rode to the workshop together every day, and then Bai Ko stayed in the workshop to deal with daily affairs, and Gu Yun used her carriage to visit various business partners in the city and deal with the government.
In a world where men are in power, men are deeply rooted in the belief that women have long hair and short knowledge, and discussing Yan Sรน things with women is ridiculous and generous, Bai Ko belongs to the special case of the court's acquiescence, she knows very well that what men talk about her in private, it is because she is hard enough in the background and she does have the ability to force men to have a good color for her, so Gu Yun suddenly turned to care about the factory business, and Bai Ko was naturally happy to let him show his face outside.
The Jingyun sisters and brothers were worried about the delicious little abalone, and wrote to ask Bai Ko when it was convenient, and by the way, she asked her if she wanted to participate in the girls' warm soup party.
As soon as Bai Qiao told Ning Peilan, Ning Peilan was also very interested, so he replied to the county lord and added two people.
When the palace chief learned about this from his wife, he told Gu Yun, Gu Yun was about to have a nosebleed just thinking of the picture of Bai Ko sitting in the hot spring wrapped in a bath towel, so he touched his nose and went to his mother, and asked Mrs. Gu if she wanted to join in the fun and soak in the hot spring to relieve her fatigue.
Mrs. Gu was also interested, but she felt that this was a gathering of young girls, and it was not appropriate for her to join in the excitement as an old woman.
Gu Yun then looked for Bai Ko, and Bai Ko wrote a letter to the county lord to ask in detail what age people were participating in this warm soup party, and finally learned that there were indeed mothers, daughters, mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law who participated together, because the hot spring they were going to belonged to the royal family, and the scope was very large.
When Mrs. Gu learned that this was the case, she called Aunt Rong to take the painting, and also asked Mrs. Gu to bring her sixteen-year-old Gu Ya and fifteen-year-old Gu Juan with her.
Mrs. Gu came back from the sister-in-law's room and thought about it, and only told Gu Ya to pack her luggage, and did not tell Gu Juan, Gu Juan is the eldest daughter born to Aunt Fu, although she was raised under the knees of the third lady since she was a child, but because Aunt Fu gave birth to Gu Shuo, she caused trouble to the family, and even the third lady's feelings for Gu Juan and her sister faded, and she didn't want to worry too much about the marriage of the two sisters.
When the eldest lady learned that she only decided to take Gu Ya there, she remembered that Gu Juan was the daughter of a rich concubine, so she didn't say anything, counted the number of people in the family who wanted to participate together, and handed it over to Bai Ko by Gu Yun, who took the opportunity to invite the county lord's sister and brother to come to the palace to eat small abalone and gave her the list.
Jingyun and Zhenghui enjoyed a good meal with satisfaction, and after returning to the East Palace, Jingyun actively prepared for this women's warm soup party with the assistance of her mother.
