37 Hug a thicker thigh
Gu Ci grinded the floor at the door of the study of the East Palace for a long time and didn't think about what to say after seeing Yuan Yi, and she didn't know if she should let the prince of a country participate in what she wanted to do.
Yuan Yi in the house had already listened to Ming Ting's announcement, and seeing that she was hesitant and entangled, she was happy for a long time before opening the door and asking, "Don't come in yet?" Do I have to ask? β
Gu Ci obediently went in and sat beside him, and snorted and chirped his words.
In fact, there are two things, one is to open a refreshment shop in the small restaurant I bought, which is specially aimed at small servants, sedan chair drivers and other people. Although it is in the alley, it is not far from several major roads to the East Market, to the Shangchao, and to the Academy, which is suitable for people to rest and change their clothes, and can also engage in takeaway services. The news of such a place spreads the fastest, and it is more well-informed than a restaurant or something, but the steward of the house must not be able to do this well.
The second is to train female soldiers, not the kind of female guards who accompany the car in the honor guard now, and the requirements for their discipline and obedience are higher than those of the guards, and basically the training methods should be according to the requirements of modern standards. As a group of three, they should form an 'iron triangle' pattern of one guard, one far and one near, and it is best to form a 'Pavlovian reaction', which refers to where to fight. Female soldiers are more convenient for her, and they can also find a new way out for the female abandoned babies adopted by Yuyi, and no one will care if she practices hundreds of them, she just thinks she is joking. She can also live the addiction of taking a team of special forces out to pull the wind, after all, so many military movies are not for nothing.
It would be nice to have a place to secretly experiment with the weapons she wanted to make, such as alcohol, a long-arm bow, a detachable chain crossbow, and raw silk armor to reduce arrow wounds.
After she finished speaking, her eyes were wandering and she didn't dare to look at Yuan Yi's expression, and her face was full of 'I'm very weak-hearted'.
Yuan Yi was really stunned, and it took a long time to find his voice, "You came up with this?" β
"Yes."
Please don't ask questions......
ββ¦β¦ I'll tell them how to do it. I'm going to tell my elders about this, and you're not allowed to mention a word to anyone, you know? Yuan Yi's expression was very serious.
Gu Ci pointed to each other, "uh...... Master must have known that it was my idea......"
"I will give you a small Zhuangzi and let Mingdu train two hundred female soldiers for you, as for how you want to practice, you can only tell me, and I will talk to him again."
"Good!"
"The shop's business...... Let me tell you a good news first, after I canonized the crown prince, the eighth young grandmother of the Changning Bo family begged your second sister to go to the Qingyi Yuan to say that she wanted to sell all the surrounding properties to you at half price, and my aunt said that she would wait for you to go back and dispose of it. β
"Buy it at the market price, depending on the place, it's not bad to be able to make a big restaurant, Uncle Qing is ready. In this way, the small restaurant can sell the finished products of the restaurant, which is much easier. I've thought of a name, it's 'Zhishuangzhai'. β
***********************
Before Gu Ci returned home, several pieces of good news that had been lost in the palace for a long time caused an uproar in the capital, following Qiu Cairen, several young concubines were pregnant one after another, and the harem broke out with unprecedented vitality!
Yuan Yi calmly escorted Gu Ci into the Qingyi Courtyard, threw Gu Ci to Gu Yi, and talked for a long time with the three elders and three older boys in the outer study before appearing at dinner.
Gu Ci, accompanied by Gu Hui, excitedly snatched the job of setting the menu again, and specially specified that there must be sweet and sour elbows!
Dinner is eaten around a large round table, Gu Ci will not need to be clothed with vegetables, and he will hold his elbow and chew it very happily.
Suddenly, there was a pause, her face wrinkled as if she had eaten a green plum, her eyes were full of tears, and she spit out a piece of elbow meat, with a trace of blood on her upper lip, which startled everyone and shocked several pairs of chopsticks.
Fortunately, Gu Yao reacted first, "Ah Luan, this is a tooth loss?" β
Gu Ci covered his mouth and nodded sadly, looking at the little white tooth with a little blood on the elbow meat, feeling sorry for his face, why did you say it......
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help laughing.
Yuyi hurriedly asked someone to clean up, and began to mutter, "Little troublemaker, I haven't been home for so long, and I started to make trouble when I came back for the first meal." β
Gu Yao hugged her, and Xiao Lu personally took the medicine.
Several other brothers comforted her with gossips, "It'll grow soon, don't worry." β
"Little leakage, I'll help you eat the meat, be careful that the soup will leak."
"Brother buries your teeth in the soil, and they will definitely grow flat and neat."
"Don't lick your teeth."
Yuan Yi sat silently while drinking hot tea, pressing the cold sweat that had just come out of his back, and heard a soft and vague voice say, "I haven't eaten yet......
***********************
The toothless girl who spoke leaky was completely out of the house, and began to be a housemaid holding Bajie through this embarrassing period. Yuan Yi helped her solve the problems of her elders and Zhuangzi, and she began to make money in high spirits. Of course, all kinds of measures were said in the name of Yuan Yi and Xiao Lu, she was just a rich second generation who was sent to the grassroots level to exercise and brush up her favorability.
As soon as Mingdu's body recovered, he went to work, and the two hundred female guards who were pulled from Yuyi were all in place. Gu Ci and Yuan Yi worked together to demarcate the venue for the women's training camp, organize the house, build furniture, make all kinds of exercise equipment, including basketball, juju, hammer pills and other equipment for daily sports, build a collective shower bathhouse, solve the hot water supply and make full use of a complete set of circulation system, and also bring out wheelchairs and stretchers, broom, mop and dustpan with handle, etc.
Uncle Qing gave such a large pile of orders and drawings to Old Man Tian, and I heard that he was so happy that he pulled off his white beard.
She also had to ensure everyone's food supply, two eggs a day, meat, poultry and vegetables, etc., and Steward Xiao had to buy another grange that could not grow food for her to grow vegetables, raise chickens, ducks, fish and rabbits, and even sheep and deer. Gu Ci held back his nausea and asked them to raise the earthworms as well. Then find a way to grow beans, soybeans or something to ensure the daily supply of tofu. It is estimated that there is no need to worry about the supply of meat at all, and the fields will be fattened in a few years.
As for the armor, the coarse cloth clothes during training, the cotton jacket, shoes and socks, Jane patted her huge chest and said that it was no problem at all. Gu Ci also asked Mrs. Jian to prepare a batch of canvases for her on the boat, planning to get some backpacks, simple tents out, and half-palm, open-fingered or full-fingered gloves can also be made and sold, and they also asked their husband and wife to find a way to make iron-toed flatform soles with cork soles, otherwise it would be too expensive to train.
Xiao Xiao's steward can't be idle, Gu Ci asked him to refer to the self-made simple version of the first aid kit, let him ponder, and she also plans to add a military medical training to the female soldiers, from how to carry a stretcher, how to move the wounded, simple first aid treatment, triage, to the auxiliary work of wiping sweat for the surgeon, and let Jiukangtang integrate practical and simple first aid methods into a booklet and take it to Danqing Pavilion to sell. She also contributed to some things such as artificial respiration, cardiac resuscitation, splinting, suspension bandaging, etc.
Cultural lessons are indispensable, given the current high price of paper, pen and ink, and the use of charcoal and crude cement slabs to teach. After discussing with the master, Gu Ci decided to come out with movable type typesetting and printing and bamboo papermaking, and the matter was assigned to the Jiang Da steward.
Liuying Pavilion is a pain in Gu Ci's heart! She didn't dare to start this battle immediately at first, mainly because she didn't know how far the fire temperature could reach now, and it was not easy to solve this problem. So she told Steward Su that she should prepare slowly, try more, make records every time, and not be afraid of failure. Anyway, since she moved to Yinwuju, the small treasury is full, and there is so much money that there is no land to spend. Su Guan You'll be able to build it! Dry Daddy!
Alcohol, weapons, silk armor and other confidential things don't have to worry about the stewards below, Yuan Yi sent Ming Fang to help her try to make them. Gu Ci saw Ming Fang sitting in a wheelchair, smiling lightly, gentle and elegant, and while wiping his tears, he told him all kinds of precautions he could think of, which provoked Ming Fang, who was not moved in front of him, and fled with red eyes.
None of the above can be achieved overnight, but on April 8 after the memorial festival, Gu Ci's favorite - Zhishuang Zhai was grandly launched.
After successfully getting the title deed from the second sister, she didn't see the Du Ba grandmother, and when she returned to the gift of Changning Bo's Mansion, she ordered that the land be drawn up, and she wanted to rebuild!
There is no doubt about the ability of the local tyrant county lord, and a large garden is divided into three parts.
The main entrance is a three-story building, just like a regular restaurant, with a small table for four people on the first floor, a large table screen on the second floor, and a soundproof private room with a fan on the third floor.
A hanging flower gate separates the west courtyard, which is a row of independent two-storey small attics with mountains and stones, specially designed to receive female guests, the first floor is equipped with maids, and the second floor belongs to the master.
There are a few small pavilions in the middle courtyard as usual, with pine and bamboo as a barrier, and literati and elegant guests who love to blow the wind or those who love BBQ can throw them there.
The east corner door leads to the takeaway hall on the second floor, which has been renovated from the original small restaurant, with simple tables and chairs, ordering and other packaging on the first floor, and the second floor can rest and drink tea, only serving wine, snacks, skewers, cakes, vegetables, various sauces, head, feet, neck, and other things that are convenient for take-out or take-away.
All the menu recipes are decided by her and Chef Pan, and she also makes a special hot pot.
However, she can't see the grand opening scene, because the restaurant is nominally a small servant who has served the prince and left the palace to support the elderly, and she, the county lord, only collects rent, contributes recipes to make congratulatory ceremonies, and only gets a 20% discount when she goes to the restaurant to eat, and she can't be exempted!
Therefore, the big shopkeeper of Zhishuangzhai is Mingxiu, but he is in charge of the people in the takeaway hall, and the guys, maids, chefs, and bookkeepers in other places are in charge of professional Chef Pan.
***********************
At first, Mingxiu muttered to himself, and after the reputation of the takeaway hall spread among the subordinate groups such as the coachman entourage and the servant women, he immediately tasted the sweetness, and all kinds of gossip sorted out every day emerged in endlessly. Gu Ci also likes to read these gossips, and passes the time like reading the newspaper every day, and no one cares about her anyway. In fact, all she could see was the content that Yuan Yi had ordered Mingxiu to screen.
Gu Yao and Gu Chong were so busy that their feet did not touch the ground, according to Yuan Yi's insider, taking advantage of the fact that the foreign countries were also in good weather this year, there was no need to rob at the border passes, and the border was harmonious. At that time, Gu Yao's father and son will leave for Beiguan to rectify military affairs
Yuyi, as the aunt of the new prince, has more banquets than the New Year's Festival, and according to Ganyu Small Radio, there may also be an intention for the second brother Gu Aoxiang to see others.
Gu Ao, who is about to have a fiancΓ©e, is preparing for the spring festival at the beginning of next year, although the emperor has already decided that he will enter the household department, but he himself, including his family, all agree that he is still a jinshi in the examination, please seal the prince of the protectorate, and it is not too late to enter the office.
Seventh brother Gu Xi has a lot of ideas now, after getting in touch with the king of Runan County, the head of the internal security department, he followed before and after the saddle, the two of them cherished each other, and almost didn't even want to go to the palace school, and they were beaten by the emperor and Gu Yao once before stopping. If he hadn't remembered to bring the gift back, Gu Ci would have planned to help him pack his baggage and go to live in the county king's mansion.
The little brother Gu Yi is a good baby who studies seriously, and the current palace school is the horse sacrifice wine of the Guozijian, and he has blue eyes, and I hope that he will become the first top three person in the palace school, and the amount of homework is staggering, but he enjoys it.
The master of the old and young man of literature and art was not obsessed with painting, maybe he was stimulated by her, and went back to Tiemei Temple to carry out a side business, and together with Xiao Xiao's steward, he was ready to do a free clinic once a month.
Gu Ci was embarrassed to go out of the house to play, and the work was sent down, and every day he was at home pondering all kinds of food, reading and practicing calligraphy, pulling erhu, and even holding a needle and thread at one time.
Yuyi was really afraid that her daughter would be detained, so she reversed her previous low-key, opened the door to convenience, and often invited some girls who were familiar with others to play.
The sisters of the Ren family who came most often, when they came to the door for the first time, they thanked Ren Saiyuan for the small crossbow they sent, and made a hot pot at home. Mandarin duck pot with fresh mushroom broth and pepper spicy oil, appetizers such as braised chicken gizzard and pickled cucumber with phoenix feet and duck neck, beef, sheep, deer and pork as thin as cicada wings, all kinds of hand-beaten meatballs, sesame oil and fermented bean curd sesame sauce, crispy and refreshing goose intestines, soaked green plum and pear juice to relieve greasy and cool off the heat, even Ren Shushen, who has never touched the internal organs in the water, ate very happily, and finally put down a handful of dragon whisker noodles as thin as silver threads, one person and one small bowl, each with a round belly. Later, it developed to the point that every time their sisters went to the street, they would definitely come to eat, and the hot pot had the highest rate on stage.
Sui Zhangzhu and several sisters of Aunt Chongyi's family, Ye Zhenzhen, Ye Mingming, and Ye Momo, also came to visit her. I heard that when she was still living in the palace, Sui Zhangzhu often came to the mansion to accompany Yuyi, but after she came back, she saw her two or three times, and she didn't see her recently.
The sisters over there also came to see her twice, and the three sisters in the four rooms led by Gu Yi came to the team, although the age difference was a little big, and there was no topic, but they were all people who loved painting and embroidery, and they liked the scenery of the garden very much. The five ladies all came by themselves, they didn't bring their daughters, and Yuyi never let her in, so Gu Ci was not very familiar with the two sisters in the fifth room.
The Qiao sisters also came once accompanied by Gu Yi, and later Qiao Chan said that she would not go out after saying about her family. It is the eldest son of the He family who supervises the imperial history, and he will be eighteen this year, and he will get married after the spring of next year.
Gu Ci learned the news from Mingxiu's cheat sheet, and then there was a bloody drama between the Qiao and Qin families, which made her blood boil.
Qiao Chan's eldest brother Qiao Zhen and Qin Shoufu's granddaughter Qin Rui were married when they were young, not only as aunts and cousins, but also as a bargaining chip for Qin Shoufu to recommend Qiao Shangshu to join the cabinet for succession. Who knew that Mrs. Qin still wanted to marry her fatherless granddaughter Dou Mei to Qiao Chan's second brother Qiao Zhen, Qiao Nan naturally couldn't agree, and Mrs. Qiao didn't want to marry back a useless niece to her most talented second son as a daughter-in-law, and she and her own old lady and sister have been stubbornly holding on. Qin Shoufu felt sorry for his old wife, who was seriously ill and his youngest daughter was widowed, so he just managed to make peace with the mud, and the two families were in a stalemate until April before the Chinese New Year. Then, at Qin Shoufu's birthday banquet, Mrs. Qin helped Dou Mei, who was 'bravely pursuing a happy life', to mistakenly put the affectionate and Dilian purse into Gu Xin's sleeve, and showed it in front of everyone, provoking the fourth lady with excellent self-cultivation to point to the secretly proud Qin widow, and Dou Mei, who was stunned and could only say, 'Why did you misplace'.
What did the fourth aunt say, "Since the appearance is poor, you can't lose your face, right?" Even the maid who swept the floor of the Protector's Mansion would not make such inferior fabrics. Inadvertently, the most outstanding-looking big girl Ruyi was exposed in front of everyone, "Is it true that my son has no knowledge?" A broken thing made by street craftsmanship wants to rely on the mansion, there is no such cheap thing! β
After Qin Shoufu learned about it in front, his blood pressure soared, and he hurriedly escorted the three of Old Mrs. Qin's ancestors and grandchildren into the backyard, apologized to the Gu family in a low voice, and begged the in-laws at the banquet to be merciful.
Dou Mei was so ashamed that she said that she failed to go back, and was rescued by her own mother and grandmother on the side.
The next day, this matter spread all over the capital, and Qiao Shangshu cleanly withdrew from the eldest grandson's family affair on the grounds that 'the young couple will definitely live a discordant life for this matter in the future', and implicitly said that this family affair is completely a doll family relationship between him and Qin Shoufu for many years, and it has nothing to do with whether he can enter the cabinet at the end of the year.
The fourth aunt was also annoyed by the Qiao family and the eldest sister-in-law, and it was impossible to consider the girl of the Qiao family as a daughter-in-law, so Mrs. Qiao swallowed her anger to apologize to her sister-in-law, and at the same time, she had to go back to the Qin family against her will to visit the three grandchildren of the old lady Qin, who was seriously ill and bedridden, and had to find a family affair for Qiao Chan before the Qin family's matter was spread.
Now it's the end of April, and I finally chose the He family, which is just the fourth grade, and I don't know if I think that Qiao Chan's husband's family is very powerful, so that the Qin family will stop causing trouble easily?
After reading a stomach full of gossip, Gu Ci really wanted to find someone to share, but Yuyi was busy preparing for the Dragon Boat Festival, so she couldn't bother.
When he was sighing 'gossip is not accompanied by loneliness like snow', Ren Saiyuan handed over a post, saying that he would go to the western suburbs in the morning to try out the new crossbow cooperated by the Arsenal Division and Gongqiao Pavilion, and go back to her for lunch. Gu Ci decided to talk to her about life for a while!
