Chapter 196: Delivering Food

Jiang Yuanliu sneered, and didn't bother to pay attention to the arrogant and domineering Mrs. Zhang in front of her.

She randomly instructed Teng to take some items for consultation from the room every month, and the two went to her house with Mrs. Zhang.

Jiang Yuanliu leaned down, put his hand on the old man's pulse, and after a while, took a pen and paper and wrote a prescription and handed it to Mrs. Zhang.

"Your mother-in-law is fine, it's just that she is overworked on weekdays, and the weather is very hot, so she has some heat stroke, and she will be cured after ten days if she takes it three times a day after meals."

Mrs. Zhang looked at Jiang Yuanliu suspiciously, always feeling that she was fooling herself, but she didn't know a few words, and looked at Jiang Yuanliu without saying anything.

"If you can rest assured, you can go to the pharmacy in the town and ask the little brother who grabbed the medicine." Jiang Yuanliu said lightly.

I have to say that the weather is too hot, and it has only been a quarter of an hour since I came out, and fine sweat has begun to break out on my forehead.

"In the future, let the elderly do less tiring and heavy work, and they should be raised when they are old."

Jiang Yuanliu felt that this mother-in-law must be lazy on weekdays, and handed over all the work at home to her mother-in-law in her sixties, which caused the old man to fall ill.

Although Mrs. Zhang is a rough person, she also understands the meaning of this, and immediately retorts: "What do you know, recently, the men in the village have been called by the village chief to work on the mountain, and the men in my family have also gone up the mountain, and they are busy all day, so naturally someone has to deliver food, and I have to take care of the children at home, so this job can only fall on my mother-in-law." ”

Working in the mountains? Could it be that the village chief summoned them up the mountain to mine gold?!

Jiang Yuanliu thought of this, and he had a plan, maybe he could use this to find out more news.

"It's my wrong aunt, my aunt just said that she is related to my young lady, since my aunt is too busy, it is better for me to bring food to my uncle in the future."

Jiang Yuanliu's original plan was to continue to investigate the situation of some gold mines in the name of delivering food.

Mrs. Zhang agreed without thinking about it, and she was naturally willing to be a coolie for herself.

After going back, Jiang Yuanliu didn't plan to tell Gu Jinshu about this matter, and according to his temperament, he would definitely not agree to take the risk himself.

But in the face of such a good opportunity, Jiang Yuanliu naturally would not give up.

Early the next morning, Jiang Yuanliu tiptoed to pack his things and plan to go out.

"Come back."

As soon as Jiang Yuanliu stepped out with his front foot, he remembered a deep voice behind him.

I don't know when Gu Jinshu was already dressed and standing at the door of the house.

"I'll go out and buy some utensils, your injuries are not healed, go back to the house and rest." Jiang Yuanliu's face was not red and his heart was not beating to tell this lie.

Gu Jinshu sighed helplessly, strode over and hugged Jiang Yuanliu.

"Since you know that I have injuries on my body, don't let me feel uneasy, I have already told me your plan month by month, and she has now gone to the gold mine before you."

What the? It's good that you are going month by month, and you actually colluded with Gu Jinshu behind your back.

Looking at Jiang Yuanliu's flushed face, Gu Jinshu originally prepared a basket of reproachful words and swallowed it back into his stomach.

The little woman in front of her always made herself feel uneasy, but fortunately, she knew that she felt sorry for her month by month, and told herself in advance.

After the sun went down, Teng quickly returned to the courtyard of his home.

After Jiang Yuanliu saw her, he didn't care about Xingshi's questioning, and immediately stepped forward to inquire about the gold mine.

According to Teng's monthly inquiries, there are now about 200 workers in the gold mine, all of whom are farmers in the village, who have come to work in the gold mine on the orders of the village chief.

Originally, many people were reluctant to give up their family's land to do this kind of hard work, but the conditions given by the village chief were too tempting, and a worker was worth two taels of silver a month.

And every half a month, a mysterious figure comes to the gold mines, and according to the guesses of the workers, this person is either rich or expensive.

It's been fourteen days since the last time the mysterious man came to the gold mine, so the mysterious man will come to the gold mine again tomorrow.

"In that case, let's just wait there and see who this person is." Teng Zhuyue groped his chin and said thoughtfully.

"I don't think we should come forward in person in this matter, so as not to startle the snake, I will send Sanhuangjiu to investigate tomorrow, let's just wait and see what happens." Jiang Yuanliu thought for a while and said.

The night was approaching, Gu Jinshu was lying on the bed mountain tossing and turning, the matter of the gold mine was definitely far more complicated than they thought.

I'm afraid that this mysterious person is only sent by the mastermind behind the scenes, and if he can hide such a big thing as a gold mine, this person must have monstrous rights.

The sky soon turned white, and Di San and Huang Jiu were also hiding near the gold mine early.

The mysterious man didn't show up all morning, and just as the two were about to let their guard down, a crowd appeared at the entrance to the gold mine.

At this time, the village chief was also waiting there early, and a man in a dark brocade robe came out of the crowd, and this person was actually Fu Kaize!

"How's the gold mining progressing lately?" Fu Kaize asked straight to the point.

The village chief grovelled and said, "If you go back to your lordship, because of the scorching heat in the past few days, many people have suffered from heat stroke, so the process is not very fast. ”

Fu Kaize frowned when he heard this, and the pressure on him from above kept putting pressure on him, he hadn't gained a firm foothold now, and everything had to be dealt with carefully.

But he can't push these people too hard, after all, the gold mine thing can't see the light of day.

"From today onwards, each person's monthly money will rise to three taels, and then at noon, everyone will be prepared with a cold drink to cool down."

The village chief's eyes suddenly lit up a little when he heard this, he thought that Fu Kaize was going to punish himself, but he didn't expect that not only was he not punished, but his salary was raised, and his heart was naturally happy.

In order to avoid being discovered, Di San Huang Jiu erased the traces of his coming, and left quietly.

"It's actually Fu Kaize!" Jiang Yuanliu was also quite shocked when he heard this name.

She only knew that Fu Kaize was the top student in high school in this big exam, but she didn't expect him to start taking action so soon.

And Fu Kaize and the eldest prince have long colluded, and it seems that most of the masterminds behind this gold mine are undoubtedly the eldest prince.

"Liu'er, I think it's time for us to leave and go back to the capital." Gu Jinshu looked at Jiang Yuanliu with a solemn expression.

Jiang Yuanliu knew what Gu Jinshu was worried about, according to Zhao Yuhuai's style of acting, there was no way to hide the gold mine matter so secretly, and there must be Gu Hongxiao's help.

Once the gold mine is successfully mined, then Zhao Yuhuai will use the money to cultivate the power of the army, and Gu Hongxiao will also increase his power, so Gu Jinshu's life and safety will be threatened.

Therefore, Gu Jinshu must return to the capital as soon as possible, tell Zhao Jinhuai about this matter, and discuss countermeasures with him.

In order to prevent others from discovering their whereabouts, Jiang Yuanliu and his party left here at night, and before leaving, she left Teng Zhuyue here to untie An Nianwei, and then followed the team.

Because no one knew their whereabouts, they did not encounter anyone blocking the road on the way back to Beijing, and after three days and two nights of travel, several people returned to Beijing.

Gu Jinshu sent Jiang Yuanliu to the mansion and said reluctantly: "You have to be more careful after returning to Beijing." ”

"Be careful on the road." Jiang Yuanliu stood on tiptoe and kissed Gu Jinshu's forehead gently, and then ran into the mansion quickly with a red face.

Only Gu Jinshu stood there and looked at Jiang Yuanliu stupidly, and for a moment, he even wanted to leave everything and fly away with Jiang Yuanliu.....

"Little Marquis, it's time for us to go home." Liu Da's voice brought Gu Jinshu's thoughts back to reality.

"Let's go." The sound of horses' hooves rang out in the silent alley, and then the group gradually disappeared into the night.

In the past few days, Jiang Yuanliu has been wearing it in the house, although she enjoys this short moment of calm, but she is still a little bored.

So she told Jiang Fengmao that she wanted to go to her grandmother's house to live for a while, and she was all going to relax, and Jiang Fengmao was naturally satisfied with her daughter's request.

The carriage had already been prepared at the gate of the Protector's Mansion, and Jiang Yuanliu went directly to the carriage that Jiang Fengmao had prepared long ago.

Because Jiang Yuanliu hadn't returned to his grandmother's house for many years, Jiang Fengmao was worried that she would not be able to adapt to her, so he ordered Mama Zhang, who had been married, to follow Jiang Yuanliu.

His maternal grandfather used to be the auxiliary prince of the dynasty, and after his death, he was hereditary by the eldest son, although the power was not as good as when his grandfather was there, but it was also a big family, so there was still a place in the court.

Moreover, his maternal grandmother grew up watching the eldest princess, so no one dares to provoke the Fuguo family.

Along the way, Jiang Yuanliu asked about the current situation of his grandmother and others, and the original owner was sent out at a very young age, and he has no memory of his grandmother's family.

Mama Zhang smiled and answered Jiang Yuanliu's questions one by one, although the distance between the two mansions is not very close, but after all, it is a carriage, so it is only two teas and the group has already arrived at the Fuguo Mansion!

Jiang Fengmao sent someone to send a letter to the Fuguo Mansion after Jiang Yuanliu said this, so when Jiang Yuanliu stepped out of the carriage, the Fuguo Mansion had already opened the door, and the original owner's aunt Su Hui and her cousin Wen Rongxian had been waiting for a long time!

Seeing this situation, Jiang Yuanliu stepped forward quickly after getting out of the carriage, bowed to the two of them with a smile, and then said softly: "Liu Er has seen my aunt and cousin here!" ”

Although Jiang Yuanliu saw his eldest aunt and cousin for the first time, he inexplicably wanted to rely on them in his heart, which may be the reason why blood is thicker than water.

Su Hui was still in a trance the moment she saw Jiang Yuanliu, as if she saw her sister-in-law who had passed away a long time ago, and her eyes couldn't help but be a little moist.
