Chapter 57 Something Happened
The New Year's Day passed quickly, but the weather was still cold and everyone was at home.
Ye Chongyun went out today and came back at noon, looking a little dignified.
"What's wrong?" Gu Tingcheng had a little foreboding.
"My people wrote that there was an accident in Salt Water City, my second imperial brother suppressed those refugees, and now many people are rebelling, as if they are suffering from the plague. The victims fled in all directions, and Saltwater City was now in chaos. Ye Chongyun said with a frown.
Gu Tingcheng thought that he really came, what is this? Is it a blessing or a curse, is it a curse that cannot be avoided?
"Are you going back?"
Gu Tingcheng suddenly felt a little reluctant, after all, the two were very harmonious together like an old husband and wife.
This kind of love is something that Gu Qingcheng would not dare to think of in modern times.
"Well, do you want to come with me? Never mind! You'd better stay here, it's messy and unsafe over there. β
Ye Chongyun originally wanted to take Gu Qingcheng away, but thinking that it was not safe over there now, he decided to forget it.
"Well, okay."
Gu Tingcheng also wanted to go, but thinking that the situation was still unstable, he couldn't help if he went by himself, so let's talk about it when the situation is stable.
"You're here yourself, and you have to pay attention to safety, you know? There may be refugees fleeing to the city, and this plague is not fun. β
Ye Chongyun was still a little worried about Gu Chengcheng.
"I see, you can go quickly. Remember to write to me, you take that pigeon with you, it is easier to write a letter. β
She went to buy the pigeons before, bought several, kept them all the time, and trained them.
"Okay," Ye Chongyun nodded.
Gu Tingcheng prepared some food for him and asked him to take it away.
So in the afternoon Chongyun left.
Gu Tingcheng looked at Gu Tingcheng's back, still a little worried.
It's a wonderful feeling, obviously they haven't been together for long, but it feels like they've known each other for most of their lives.
Although the important days of the Chinese New Year have passed, there are still a few days to come.
Thinking that the day of Chen Liuer's engagement should be approaching, the sugar hasn't been made yet.
So I went to the kitchen and looked at the malt that had grown before, so I was ready to boil the sugar.
Thinking that the oranges I bought before I hadn't finished eating, I was going to make orange-flavored candy for her, after all, she was getting married, and this candy was a little surprise, after all, there was no fruit-flavored sugar on the market.
A lot of the sugar sold now is peanut candy, sesame candy, and then pure sugar.
The first two are very expensive, but Gu Qingcheng is undeniably authentic.
The taste is much more authentic than the modern one, fragrant and delicious.
After boiling the sugar, I went to Chen's house.
Because it was still during the Chinese New Year, Gu Qingcheng was embarrassed to come to the door empty-handed, so he took a pound of chicken cake.
Because this chicken cake is delicious, Gu Tingcheng also likes to serve it for breakfast, so he makes it himself every few days, and adds wild honey, which tastes great.
After arriving at Chen's house, the door was open, and Gu Tingcheng still shouted twice
"Grandma Chen, are you at home?"
Soon there was an echo inside
"Here, it's Xiao Qi, come in." is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family was also very happy to see Gu Tingcheng coming, after all, Gu Tingcheng is now her boss.
Another point is that she has always been very grateful to Gu Tingcheng, if it wasn't for Gu Tingcheng's generosity, I'm afraid she wouldn't be where she is today.
Working with Gu Tingcheng, she has also learned a lot, at least she won't complain anymore, and she doesn't care what her man thinks.
It's enough to be yourself, and then educate your own children.
"I came because Liu Er asked me to make candy, I asked her to cut the oil paper into small squares last time, and she hasn't brought it to me yet, I made sugar today, so I will take it myself."
"You're making candy by yourself? Do you want me to help you? The eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family asked sincerely.
"Yes, you can help me pack it later, I'm really slow to do it alone." Gu Tingcheng did not refuse her kindness.
"Okay, I'll come with you later." The eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family happily agreed.
"Xiao Qi is here, sit down." Old Lady Chen looked at Gu Qingcheng with a smile and stood up by herself.
Several people around saw the old lady stand up, a little unclear, who is this little girl? Such a big face made the old lady of the Chen family stand up.
Several of them are relatives of Chen Liuer's future husband's family, and they came to discuss this matter this time, and they stopped by to pay New Year's greetings.
Chen Liuer's fiancΓ© is named Yu Ping, and because his parents died, his uncle and aunt have been helping him prepare for this matter.
His uncle and aunt are both good people, and Chen Liu'er is also a good person they helped to meet.
At this time, Yu Ping was also sitting next to him, and when he heard the voice, he just glanced up at Gu Qingcheng, and then lowered his head again.
Gu Qingcheng walked in and saw that there were still a lot of people sitting, all around a brazier, some of them couldn't sit down, but she wasn't ready to sit.
I also saw Yu Ping at a glance, isn't this the one who sold rabbits last time? looks like a capable one, Chen Liu'er should be good to follow him.
Old Mrs. Chen's vision is indeed very good, and Gu Tingcheng, who looked around, said to Old Mrs. Chen
"I won't sit down, I'm here to get oil paper from Liu'er. By the way, I brought some sweets for you to try. Gu Qingcheng handed the bag to Mrs. Chen.
"You can come, what else will you take? We're bothering you. You sit here for a while, have dinner, and then go. β
Mrs. Chen stayed with Gu Chengcheng for dinner.
"If you don't eat it, the sugar is still boiling." Gu Tingcheng refused with a smile.
"Okay then." The old lady nodded.
Chen Liu'er also came out
"Sister Gu, I'm really sorry, I've been a little busy these two days, so I haven't passed. But it's already cut, it's so big, do you think it's okay? β
Gu Tingcheng took it and looked at it, it was almost exactly right, it was square, and the side was about five centimeters long.
"Yes, then I'll go first."
"Okay, I'll send you." The old lady said.
"Mother, just sit down, it's cold outside, I'll go back with Xiao Qi and help her make candy, she can't be busy alone." The eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family said.
"Okay, then you can go." Old Madam Chen nodded, that's fine.
After Gu Qingcheng went out, Yu Ping's uncle and aunt asked
"That one was the Gu family girl from your village just now!"
They also inquired at the beginning, but thinking that the threshold for other girls' abilities was high, they were afraid that they would not look down on their nephews, so they dispelled this idea.
"Well, yes, people probably did. Just so you guys are here, try the pastries she made. Mrs. Chen also praised Gu Tingcheng with a smile and distributed some pastries brought by Gu Tingcheng to everyone.
Several people were full of praise after eating.
There were a few left, so Mrs. Chen took them and put them away.
They had already eaten lunch, and after the matter had been discussed, they had roasted the fire for a while, and they were ready to go back.
Mrs. Chen didn't keep it, but just sent a few people out.
