This Gao Yu, who is really like a mule, has been working all the time with these men under him, and the time has run out of midnight, and he has no intention of stopping.

Gao Yu not only sent Luo Quan to the tavern in the north of the village, but smashed open the door of the tavern in the middle of the night, forced the tavern shopkeeper and the guy to get up in the middle of the night and steam two drawers of steamed buns, and by the way, he also asked Luo Quan to bring two jars of wine over.

Gao Yu beckoned people to come over for dinner, "Okay, after eating, no one is allowed to be lazy, if anyone is slippery, you won't come tomorrow!" My work here is not something that can be finished in a day or two, if you want to have something to eat, you have to grind it for me! ”

These men, who have been idle for a winter, are having endless energy, have wages, and have wine to drink, knowing that the opportunity is rare, they immediately rushed to the construction site after eating. Gao Jun also ate two buns on the construction site, and saw that the progress was really fast, not only the foundation of the brick kiln had already been dug up, but the cattle also set up oxen to pull a waterwheel, and pulled water from a river ditch on the north side of the mountain, and took local materials to build adobe.

There is a ditch in the north of the mountain. In the summer, the water only retains for a few days except for heavy rain, but it is quickly dried out. However, in this season, the snow that had fallen in San'in a few days ago slowly melted as the weather became warmer, and the snow water flowed down and poured into a certain scale.

Gao Jun really couldn't stand it, and said in his heart that he had practiced for so many years in vain, and he was not as good as these farmers. Another thought made it clear. Those people are recuperating and have copper coins to support them. And in the past two days, he has been a private visit, and he has been chopping horses and kicking people, not only is he stupid, but he has been tossed by the sixth uncle Gao Shenxing and cousin Gao Chang non-stop, even if he is beaten with iron, he will be tired.

He said to Gao Yu to go back and rest, left Luo Dedao and Luo Quan to assist Gao Yu, and walked home slowly. The old woman probably waited for him for a while, and when she saw that he never came back, she went to sleep. The water is also boiled, and it is cold because it has not been used for a long time. Gao Jun pushed open the hidden door, his heart was slightly hot, and Liu Yuru still kept the door for him.

I didn't light the lamp when I went in, I looked at the place on the bench, I poured my clothes up, and I fell asleep after a while. After some time, he noticed that someone was gently putting a thin quilt on his body, and he didn't move. Half-squinted, saw Liu Yuru wearing a thin nightdress, covered herself with a quilt and walked to the bedroom on tiptoe.

On the twentieth day of the lunar month, the moonlight is not so bright when it enters the house. But Gao Jun saw that her two slender legs were half-exposed outside the nightdress, and her steps were brighter than the moonlight outside the window, and he quickly closed his eyes. Listening to Liu Yuru push the door in, and from the bedroom inside the door, the girl's whisper and her mother's soft voice comforted, Gao Jun fell asleep after a while.

Before dawn in the morning, Gao Jun jumped up from the bench and went straight to the construction site without taking the breakfast handed by his mother-in-law, he wanted to see the progress of the project.

When he arrived at the construction site, he was shocked by the fact that the south side of the hill was facing the sunny place, and the adobe on the slope was completely covered! If these existing adobes were made in the sun, a brick kiln would not have been used at all. Gao Jun looked around for Gao Yu's figure, but there was no place for him.

Seeing Luo Quan yawning and crawling out of the foundation ditch, when he asked, Luo Quan said in a daze, "It seems that I took someone to Beishan to cut trees." ”

After waiting for a while, I saw an ox cart carrying three logs from the side of the mountain, Gao Yu's kid seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, except for a few bloodshots in his eyes, he couldn't see that he had been shouting for a night.

Gao Yu said, "If you use adobe alone, the brick kiln is afraid that it will not be reliable, and he has sent a Lot knife to Liuzhong County to buy a cart of green bricks, plus these logs are enough." He also said that he had asked the men during the night that if they were to give up the thatched houses they were living in and replace them with green bricks, they would basically agree, but with a little extra money.

You must know that these people who work in the middle of the night are the pillars of each family, and most of them are calculating. While the opinions of these people are not all, they generally represent the views of the majority. "Next, it's your turn to go to Xizhou, Lord Gao." Gao Yu said.

Thinking about it, it has only been a day since Master Guo and Uncle Sixth have been gone here, so is it a little anxious to chase after him. Gao Yu said, "Brother, it's only twelve months a year, don't you worry, the 10,000 horses for your wife to give birth to you?" ”

According to Gao Yu's progress, after the brick kiln is built, the approval document will go to Xizhou, and it will not be a matter of one or two days when the approval document is down. If the state approval is obtained now, then when the bricks are burned, the villagers can be organized to build new houses, and this is not a job that can be done in a day or two. Think about it, you really have to do what he says. In this way, Gao Jun let him fool and set foot on the road to Xizhou again.

Before leaving, Gao Jun arranged the matter at hand with Liu Wu, first, to inspect the grass room and let Chen Ba go to officially take over as the manager, second, Jia Fugui's people have been picking forage for a day, and they must finish picking it in two days, and third, from now on, they will start to buy forage handed over by scattered grass households. Liu Wu asked, "Wan Shiju can't go to work on the ranch, but the position of regiment officer can't be vacant, who will go to the top for a while?" Gao Jun said, "Let Feng Zheng go up first, the appointment of a regimental officer is still within my authority." Gao Jun also thought of the Wang Lushi who was demoted by Yue Mu Jian to feed the horses, and his treatment this time was actually a bit too heavy, not to mention Wang Lushi, even Mu Cheng Liu Wu has always been helpless against this 10,000 soldiers?

In the final analysis, the problem is still with Pastor Yue, who made this giant of 10,000 soldiers too fearless. I have the heart to take the opportunity of going to Xizhou this time to intercede with that Wang Lushi, and see if there is room for relaxation, after all, under the big goal of building "Liuzhong Shangmu", people with some ability to do things still have to take advantage of it. I thought again, would I do this to give Yue Qinghe the impression that he was working against him? Gao Jun's head was a little big.

Look at the bright sky, Gao Jun went home first, Liu Yuru and the mother and daughter who stayed overnight last night got up, the little girl was only three years old, her face was clean and very cute, staring at Gao Jun with big eyes and not recognizing life at all, as soon as they met, she called her brother, her mother patted her head lightly, and said angrily, "Don't be sensible, call uncle."

Gao Jun seemed to remember her mother's surname Xie, and said to her, "Sister Xie, you can live here, anyway, I am not at home these days, and you are here to accompany my wife." ”

The woman was a little embarrassed, and only looked at Liu Yuru for consultation. Liu Yuru listened to Gao Jun's words and nodded to her with a smile. She knew that her mother and daughter had met a good person today, and she silently blessed these two people several times in her heart.

With Lord Guo of Xizhou as a matchmaker, the sixth uncle Gao Shenxing as a guarantor, and a marriage certificate signed by Mo County Order of Liuzhong County as a witness, Liu Yuru knows that her current identity is Gao Jun's newlywed wife.

The whole process happened so suddenly, Liu Yuru felt like a puppet, pushed by an invisible hand to get to this point, even if she was standing in front of Gao Jun at this moment, she was in a trance as if in a dream.

But Gao Jun called himself like this in front of the Xie family, and thought that there was nothing abnormal. When she heard Gao Jun say that she was not at home for the past few days, her face turned red and she asked, "Husband, where are you going?" ”

Seeing the expressions on the faces of these two people, Xie Shi thought that the two were not together on the first day of their wedding yesterday, and thought that this had something to do with the appearance of their mother and daughter. Now seeing that the two of them had parting words, they took the little girl and went to the yard with interest.

Seeing Liu Yuru's expression, Gao Jun's heart moved, wondering if he was really so eager to go to Xizhou, or if he was deliberately avoiding something. Now he can't figure it out.

He looked at Liu Yuru's eyes, told Liu Yuru about his plan to go to Xizhou like an endorsement, and said, "You know that this is Xizhou, not Chang'an...... I can't be like Hou Jun and let you live in a leaky firewood house...... Of course, this is not his fault at all, and if he were alive, he would not be worse than me...... And I know that this is Xizhou, not Chang'an...... So theorizing who is right and who is wrong is pointless...... I just want to see you have a better life".

Liu Yuru hurriedly turned around to pack up Gao Jun's change of clothes, and the official clothes had to be taken off and wrapped up first, and then changed when he met Master Guo, which also looked respectful. Thinking back to Gao Jun's words. She felt that the incomparably prosperous Chang'an City was getting farther and farther away in her heart—it was not that Chang'an had abandoned her, but that she was pushing it away from her heart. Yes! Xizhou, she suddenly had an idea.

She turned around and looked directly at his face, Gao Jun's face was still slightly tired, "Can you rest for a day and then leave, if you work so hard, your body will be burned." There were two folds on the front of Gao Jun's newly changed civilian robe, and she reached out to smooth them as she spoke. Gao Jun felt his chest turn into a pool of water, and Liu Yuru's slender jade fingers were like a breeze in the air.

He said firmly, "That's not going to work, absolutely not!" My cousin was an animal alive, and the men in the village had not rested all night, and he would have stumbled at me if he saw me lazy at home. ”

"The mother and daughter...... Husband, what are you going to do? Want them to live in our house all the time? I'm afraid it's a little inconvenient...... Moreover, I don't think she's the kind of person who is willing to send people under the fence. ”

"As long as we don't look down on their mother and daughter, I think they will slowly understand, in short, everyone is equal."

"But I'm here, and they always think I'm the mistress here, and they will inevitably be a little restrained! In that case, things are not pretty! ”

"What, don't you ......" Gao Jun narrowed his eyes, guessing what she meant by this, he didn't want to hear what Liu Yuru was going to say next. On her smooth and delicate face, there are no traces of what she had scratched back then. Back then, she expelled a thirteen-year-old child, and now it's the mother and daughter.

"No, no, no, I didn't mean that, I talked to her last night, I mean...... If there is only one old woman at home to accompany her, and there is something outside the house and Steward Luo is Zhang Luo, we don't have to worry about anything, so will she be more comfortable and at ease living in our house? ”

After listening to Liu Yuru's somewhat eager explanation, Gao Jun suddenly felt that he was a villain. People change, and those things in the past should have been forgotten a long time ago! He was relieved that this was a good piece of advice. He hugged Liu Yuru tightly with some impulsiveness, and said loudly:

"Good! I'll take you to Western State! ”

Liu Yuru felt that Gao Jun's two iron rod-like arms were about to press himself into his chest, and said, "Then don't you go and tell your mother-in-law and Steward Luo!" ”

The two rode the charcoal fire together, and when they passed the construction site, they saw that the Luo Dao had pulled back a cart full of green bricks from the official kiln in Liuzhong County, beckoned the Luo Dao to come over, and after explaining the affairs of the family to him, the two got up their horses and galloped to the official road in Xizhou.

Except for the fact that his private life is a little irregular and his behavior is occasionally a little obscene, after all, he is a bachelor who is nearly forty years old, and he is already very satisfied with his performance. And he has always been obedient to his master Gao Jun.

He knew that he could have a decent life like today, and that he was no longer the homeless person who wandered around, all because of this tall man.

Even if sometimes this tall man would kick himself a few times when he was unhappy, he knew that the tall man's heart was the kindest in the world, and he never doubted the tall man at this point.

But he also vaguely noticed that Gao Daren's body had changed significantly compared to the past. For example, after Master Gao came back from Xizhou, his complexion improved day by day, and he was no longer pale and bloodless; The physique is also much stronger, and the tall man has kicked him in the past, but at that time, the tall man used the strength to breastfeed, and he didn't feel anything, but this time it made his chest ache for several days.

And the tall man seems to be a lot more serious now, and he no longer looks for flowers and willows like before, is it just because he is busy? Or is it because he married a new wife and accepted his sex?

Thinking that Master Gao was sitting on the horse just now, so solemnly instructing himself to take care of the Xie family's mother and daughter, at first, he thought that Lord Gao was still the previous Master Gao, and there were always endless tricks in touching flowers and grass. After all, that Xie is only in his twenties, and even he can see that if the Xie family raises it well, it will definitely be twice as smart as the current one!

However, Lot saw the newlywed Mrs. Liu sitting in front of the tall horse, leaning back slightly, leaning on her husband's body, and her face did not show a trace of jealousy.

Seeing that she was wearing a light cyan tight-fitting silk cotton jacket and a red cloak on the outside, her face was full of excitement about to travel away, and she felt that if the Xie family stood in front of Mrs. Liu, she would look a little ordinary, and she would show some rustic atmosphere.

Thinking of this, Steward Luo felt that it was the first time that Gao Da had entrusted such an important task to himself, and it was more difficult than letting himself go to a foreign country to collect rent independently. And that little girl, with big eyes and a weak voice, if only she had such a big daughter.
