Qing Shu was angry, and dinner was used alone in his yard. Zhou Boyan took Qingyang and Hao to wait for her to eat, but she ignored it.

What Zhou Boyan said was not unreasonable, she knew it in her heart. She was angry, not because of his words, but because of his self-imposed actions. Yes, it's his own opinion. He said that he would take care of Qingyang and Hao, so he took people away. She believed him, and went to the front to deal with things with confidence. But he didn't say a word, and took Qingyang and Hao to the front on his own initiative, and she felt very uncomfortable.

Gu Yunfu came to make such a fuss, and Qing Shu had another worry in his heart. She didn't think that the faceless and bastard Gu Yunfu would back down. Today is just the beginning. She is not afraid of Gu Yunfu, it is really about to celebrate the New Year, and Gu Yunfu will definitely do some bastard things to affect her good mood for the New Year.

Before going to bed, she thought a lot, thinking about the measures that Gu Yunfu might take. After thinking about it, what Gu Yunfu could use was nothing more than the identity of an uncle, and nothing else. People in this era value seniority, bloodline, and the order of seniority. She didn't give Gu Yunfu any face, Gu Yunfu wanted to suppress her, there were only two choices. One is to go back to Dagujia Village to invite the so-called elders of the clan to crusade against her; The second is to sue the official and let the official treat her for the crime of great unfilial piety and disrespect.

But it doesn't matter. It was she who returned to her hometown first, it was she who laid the foundation in Kangxi Town, and the people of Dagujia Village had already seen her strong style, and probably no one dared to come forward to oppose her anymore. Speaking of the lawsuit, she has taken root in Kangxi Town, and the county assistant lord believes in her, or will he believe in Gu Yunfu, who has just arrived and does not know the roots, the answer is obvious. No matter how Gu Yunfu tosses, it will not cause substantial harm to her and the ancient mansion, it will only annoy her and the whole mansion.

This night, Qingshu's sleep was not good, nor was it too bad. got up early, Qingyang and Hao came over, pestered Qingshu to have breakfast together, prepared to prepare, and set off to sell Spring Festival couplets.

Last time, a lot of Spring Festival couplets were accumulated, but some of them were destroyed, and the remaining intact part has been sorted out. plus some written by Qingyang yesterday, it adds up to a lot.

In case of another accident, Qingshu sent Du Escort and three Eagle Guards out to protect the safety of Qingyang and Hao. At the same time, the gatekeeper Mu Tou and Chu Yi were also sent out, and the two of them helped Qingyang and Hao. The place to sell Spring Festival couplets is still in front of the shop, which is their own territory, no matter what happens, they have their own people to take care of it, and they are more assured. Even if someone was sent to Qingyang, but Qingshu said that in front, this time was the same as last time, Qingyang and Hao had to sell Spring Festival couplets with their own skills, and the people who went with them were just responsible for protection. If the transaction fails, it has to rely on Qingyang's own ability.

Even if Qingshu sent enough people to follow, Steward Gu was still very worried. He asked Qing Shu and asked Steward Ding and Zhang Da to follow.

Qing Shu didn't follow, she stayed in the mansion and had other things to do.

Cheng Niangzi and her eldest daughter, Ning Si's mother and mother-in-law, Aqin's mother and uncle-in-law and others all came to work. This time, Ah Qin's aunt also asked Qingshu in advance, and made a guarantee, bringing her niece and the eldest girl next door to her. These people, commanded by Su's mother, gathered together to cut sauerkraut.

Qingshu gave permission, and Cheng Niangzi's family, Ning Si's family, Aqin's mother's family and uncle's family each pickled three jars of sauerkraut. The four of them have a total of 12 jars of sauerkraut, all of which are cut according to the requirements of the ancient mansion. The outermost slices of the sauerkraut head with a poor taste were removed and kept for their families to eat during the New Year, and the rest were cut into shreds, clumped and frozen in wooden barrels. Today they came to work, and the man of the family borrowed an ox cart to bring all the frozen sauerkraut.

After Su's mother inspected the sauerkraut they sent, it was no problem to return to Qingshu. Qingshu asked the ancient housekeeper to count the barrels, and paid the silver on the spot, a bucket of sauerkraut and a tael of silver. The barrels were provided by the ancient government, and there was no need to pay them additional money.

The sauerkraut jar they use is slightly smaller than that used in the ancient mansion, and one jar of sauerkraut can cut out three to four buckets of shredded sauerkraut. Of the four of them, the ones who sold the most silver were Ah Qin's mother's family and uncle's family, and each family got eleven taels of silver. Cheng Niangzi's family and Ning's four families each got ten taels of silver. For them, this is a lot of money, each of them has the silver, thanks and thanks, and hurries home to report the good news.

The forty-two barrels of sauerkraut were marked, and the ancient housekeeper asked people to move into the warehouse dedicated to storing sauerkraut.

At this time, Qingshu went to Xu Wuniang's embroidery room. She cleaned her hands and sat with Xu Wuniang sewing the schoolbag. Although Xiaoyu was recuperating from her injuries, she couldn't lie down, so she begged Qingshu and sewed schoolbags here. Xiaojuan's female celebrity is not good, she is just beside them to help them serve tea and pour water or hand over something.

This batch of schoolbags, Qingshu plans to sell them in the school or private school at the beginning of spring. She doesn't expect to earn money from this for a long time, nor does she want to do the business of ordinary people, she just wants to earn a few silver flowers from the rich with freshness.

While Qing Shu was concentrating on sewing the schoolbag, Zhou Boyan kept pacing outside Qing Shu's study with his hands behind his back. He couldn't enter the woman's inner courtyard, and Qing Shu didn't go to his side, the only place where they could sit and talk together without restraint was here. But today, Qing Shu's study is locked, indicating that Qing Shu doesn't plan to see him. Thinking of her playing a little temper yesterday and ignoring people, he smiled bitterly, and he didn't know how he made her unhappy.

Gu Shishi walked over, "Childe, the little one has something to report." ”

Zhou Boyan stared at the lock on the door of the study for a moment, then turned around and walked away, "Let's talk about it when we go back." ”

Back at the residence, as soon as Zhou Boyan sat down, Gu Shishi took out a secret letter from his sleeve and respectfully held it in front of Zhou Boyan with both hands.

Zhou Boyan took the letter, opened the seal, and took the letter inside to look at it. He pondered for a moment, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, Gu Shi put the fire fold into his hand. He burned the letter and sat in silence with a thoughtful expression.

Gu Shishi stood aside with his hands down, waiting for instructions.

For a long time, Zhou Boyan sighed helplessly, "The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop." ”

Gu Shishi raised his face and glanced at him in surprise.

"You and Hong Wei go first, and wait outside the town for ten miles."

"Childe, then ...... you"

Zhou Boyan waved his hand and asked him not to ask more, "Just do it." In an hour I will come to meet you. ”

Gu Shi didn't dare to disobey, so he hurried to find the chief of the guard.

Zhou Boyan looked around the house, then took the cloak and put it on, and walked out.

When the guards in the courtyard saw that he was going out, they greeted him and asked if he needed to prepare a horse.

"It's just to see an old friend, with the chief of the guard and Gu Shishi following, you don't have to follow. Listen, without my order, you must not take a step out of the ancient mansion, and you need to assist the Luo guards here to ensure the safety of the ancient mansion, and there must be no mistakes. ”

The guard hurriedly said, "Childe, the duty of the subordinates is to protect the safety of the childe, and the subordinates must follow the ...... when the son goes out."

"Needless to say, it's not to obey orders."

When the guard saw Childe like this, he asked, "Childe, how many days are you going?" ”

"Three days at least, more ...... I will definitely be able to come back before the Chinese New Year's Eve. Zhou Boyan hurriedly said and left without looking back. When they arrived at the front, they met Gu Shi and the chief of the guard who led three horses over.

Cai Tieniu, who was guarding the door, came over and saluted, "Childe, where are you going?" ”

Zhou Boyan thought that there was no way to greet Qingshu in person, so while stepping out of the mansion, he instructed Cai Tieniu, "Send a message to your young lady, I have something urgent to go out, and I will definitely be able to rush back before the Chinese New Year's Eve." ”

Before Cai Tieniu could say anything, Zhou Boyan had already taken the reins from Gu Shishi's hand, turned over on the horse neatly, and beat the horse away. Gu Shishi and the captain of the guard also got on their horses and set off.

Cai Tieniu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked people to send news to the inner courtyard.

Zhou Boyan rode alone and came to the flavor snack shop.

Today, Qingyang's Spring Festival couplets are not deserted in front of the stalls, there are many people gathered, and men account for a minority, basically all of them are elderly women or big girls and little daughters-in-law. A group of women gathered in front of the stall, holding more or less Spring Festival couplets in their hands and talking and laughing. And Qingyang and Hao were blocked inside, and they couldn't even see a shadow.

This change is very different from the scene of the new year. Zhou Boyan was surprised.

When Du Huwei saw Zhou Boyan, he nodded in greeting.

Zhou Boyan also nodded, handed the horse to a guy who came out of the self-eating shop, and walked into the dining shop. It was not yet lunch time, and there were only three or two individual customers sitting in the shop. His gaze quickly swept over the faces of the three or two individual guests, and then asked Gu Yuanhe, who greeted him, "But there are other guests?" ”

"Yes, there is one more guest, in the private room." Gu Yuanhe said, looking at the door of the private room where there was a guest.

Zhou Boyan patted Gu Yuanhe's shoulder, "Try not to arrange guests here." With that, he walked to the door of the private room where there was a guest, glanced back at Gu Yuanhe, pushed open the sliding door of the private room and walked in.

In the private room, a red-faced middle-aged man in coarse cloth clothes was eating vegetables. He was the only one, and there were eight or nine dishes on the table that were steamed, stewed, and fried.

Zhou Boyan closed the sliding door, walked to the middle-aged man and sat down, "I thought you were in the capital." ”

The middle-aged man inserted two meatballs into his mouth with chopsticks, making his cheeks bulge, and he looked a little funny. He chewed the balls in his mouth, looked up at Zhou Boyan, and spoke in a rough voice, "You kid is only allowed to walk around the world, but you are not allowed to come out to play, what is the reason?" ”

"Who are you pretending to be a master with?" Zhou Boyan grabbed the teacup on the table and made a gesture to throw him.

The middle-aged man was busy covering his face. His voice changed, no longer rough, but a voice that belonged to the young man's warmth and contradictory touch, "Don't, don't, boy, I'm afraid of you." Big brother took a lot of effort to make this makeup, but it can't be ruined on a cup of tea in your kid's hand. ”

Zhou Boyan put down the teacup, "What's the matter, the suave and talented noble son is enough?" ”

The middle-aged man grinned, took chopsticks and inserted two more meatballs poured with soup, "I've heard for a long time that the dishes in the restaurant opened by your confidante are as delicious as a big restaurant." I tasted it today, and it really lived up to its reputation. ”

Zhou Boyan snorted, "Less poor mouth." Say, what are you here for? ”

I'm in a bad mood today, I don't write much, and I'll try to make up for it tomorrow.
