Although Zheng Zhi felt that it was unreliable and impossible to let Song Haitang come over, he didn't say much if Gu Yao wanted to do it. He believes that the facts will prove his words. Therefore, instead of being verbose now, it is better to wait for time.

Shen Congjun came back and returned as he wished. After coming back, he talked to Zheng Zhi in detail: "I can succeed only because Guo Pu has been in Liaodong for too short a time." Next, it depends on whether we grow faster or whether he gathers people's hearts faster. ”

"What do you mean?"

"I think Tieling is more useful than all of them think. Tieling has mountains and rivers and can raise horses. ”

Zheng Zhi's mind moved, and he said, "You have a crush on Chaihe?"

Shen Congjun bowed his head and said, "In fact, I fell in love three years ago. However, Tieling is too poor, and there are too few people in the fields, so I have no heart. ”

Zheng Zhi smiled and said, "So, you just cheated me for the five hundred stone grain?"

Regarding this matter, Shen Congjun felt that it was necessary for him to explain: "I know Hou Liang quite well, since I got the news that you came to Tieling in the winter of last year, I began to prepare. After four or five months of busy work, he rescued you by the way, and received you five hundred stone of grain and two or three hundred silver, how is it? ”

Zheng Zhi sneered: "You and I used to be!" This idea of grain is not a matter in the south of Shuntianfu, and it is worth a thousand taels to reach Tieling over the mountains and mountains! ”

Shen Congjun smiled with satisfaction and said, "Then you are not bad at this."

Zheng Zhidao: "I don't have any sons!" Yao'er said that it was missing, and you can do it yourself. By the way, I can only divide a quarter of your territory in Chai River. I left a quarter of it to reclaim the wilderness and train the army on the border, and the remaining half was used by Yao'er. ”

Shen Congjun came to be interested.

He expects to raise 1,000 horses, and Zheng Zhi will build a 1,000-household house within five years. With such a big move, they can only take a quarter of the land. What is Gu Yao doing, he wants to take half of the land?

As a result, Zheng Zhi only told him: "You can't say it now." Don't worry, Yao'er wants a mountain, don't rob us. ”

As he spoke, the second batch of food sent by the Gu family's convoy arrived. Previously, Shen Congjun beat gongs and drums all the way to escort Hou Liang to Fengcheng, and this time the road was extremely safe.

Gu Xi was personally in charge of the escort.

In this batch, the Gu family's grain is only 500 stones. However, Gu Yao added 500 stones by himself, and 32 special workers, two of whom were blacksmiths. When the blacksmith arrived, he gave the big guys a meal affair. For a time, Chaihebao was extremely rich in kitchenware.

There are some things, some people, that can't be hidden. After Zheng Zhi and his wife secretly discussed with Qin Xian, Qin Xian led the team and set up a special camp in Nanshan.

Gu Yao's belly grew bigger, and the chickens and ducklings broke out of their shells. The construction of the horse farm began, and the stallions had not yet arrived; The alfalfa in the field grow, and the growth is not good. However, none of the people in Chaihe Fort were worried about going hungry, because they had the most food in Tielingwei.

Gu Yao sent a letter to Song Haitang, but Song Haitang never replied. This was completely within Zheng Zhi's expectations, and Gu Yao himself was not worried, listening to the big belly, he was very busy with the special personnel, and he just stopped going into the kitchen.

There are more people eating, Mrs. Zhang is not there, Gu Yao is no longer cooking, and there is an extreme shortage of people on the stove. Miss Zou, who was originally leisurely, not only has to clean up the vegetable garden and wash vegetables and cut vegetables. On this day, the vegetables she washed were taught by Yu Niang because they brought mud: "If you can't cook a meal, you can't wash a dish, in addition to wasting food, what else can you do!" ”

Miss Zou was annoyed and said, "I don't think I can wash it clean, you wash it yourself!" ”

Dropped the vegetable pot and went to Mrs. Zhang to complain: "I am so tired that I am dying every day, and I have to be scolded." Hundreds of ladies see no one in the sky, nothing is done in the nest house, and no one says! ”

Mrs. Zhang didn't raise her eyelids, and said, "Go and sweep the chicken coop and make fertilizer by the way."

Yes, if you don't go to the stove to help, then go and do something else, Mrs. Zhang, who is in charge of the housekeeping of Chaihe Fort, is very talkative. Miss Zou couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "I'm not going!" ”

"We're back! Hundreds of ladies! ”

When Miss Zou was shouting, Mrs. Zhang's mother and son, who went to find her daughter's body, finally came back. Well? Everyone widened their eyes and looked at the sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl next to Mrs. Zhang, who was not supposed to be Miss Zhang, who was supposed to lose her fragrance and jade, and which one was it?

In the exclamation of the big guy, Gu Yao walked out of the door, and Zhang Gensheng left tears of remorse.

With the dust on Mrs. Zhang's face and tears, she carried the little girl to kneel in front of Gu Yao. Zhang Gensheng and his son Zhang Yan knelt down together. Needless to say, Gu Yao had already guessed who the little girl was.

"Lady of a hundred households, no, ma'am. Madame, this is my daughter. God forbid, first a fisherman rescued her, and then my wife sent someone to send me to look for her, so that our family could be reunited. Ah, and also, the man who sent over gave twenty taels of silver to thank the fishermen. Thank you, Madame, for saving your life! ”

Hundred households lady is the local title, madam, is an honorific title, but also a title to recognize the lord.

Unlike Mrs. Zhang's joy, Miss Zhang's eyes were distracted and her spirit was sluggish. Gu Yao stepped forward and shook the little girl's hand. Miss Zhang subconsciously hid, and Gu Yao did not allow her to refuse.

Miss Zhang raised her head and looked at Gu Yao, she heard Gu Yao say, "You are not even afraid of death, what else is there to be afraid of?"

A very gentle voice, an unusually firm tone, as if to say, isn't it raining, what is there! Miss Zhang wanted to believe Gu Yao, but she knew that it was a lie, she shook her head desperately and shouted, "No, no, no, no, no, no." My mother said that life and death are small, and failure is big. ”

Mrs. Zhang thumped her chest in frustration.

Gu Yao still took Miss Zhang's hand and said patiently: "The people who say this are all living people, you call a dead person and say try?" She must have said that it is better to be alive! Besides, good boy, you're not wrong. It's not your fault that your family has changed, and it's not your fault that your fiancé quits. It's not your fault that you're being bullied. If you are not wrong, why can't you live? It's like your cousin Zou Ping, she's just a little stupid, she hasn't done anything wrong, so she can't be allowed to die, understand? ”

She's just a little stupid!

When Miss Zou was so angry that she couldn't speak, Miss Zhang laughed, crying and laughing. My cousin, who has always been high up and must be respected, got such a comment, it's funny. However, Miss Zhang knew that this was a kind word, so she shook her head and said, "No, she is very good-looking, better than everyone in our family." ”

Gu Yao sneered and said categorically: "No one can look good for a lifetime, but many people can be able to do it for a lifetime!" Besides, can you eat it as a meal? ”

"Of course it's beautiful, and it can be eaten as a meal. You can't eat it as a meal, it's not good enough. ”

Someone in the crowd said.

Gu Yao was so shocked that he almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Mrs. Zhang's eyes were quick and she held the person up. After Gu Yao stood firm, he looked at the person who spoke, and said in surprise: "Begonia? How did you come so fast? ”

He Fu hugged his daughter and stood beside Song Haitang. Behind a family of three, there were five carriages with deep rut marks.
