For the sake of ninety prime-aged horses and 10,000 taels of silver, Gu Yao Zhengzhi still did not return home, and worked hard day and night with the craftsmen. These two batches of weapons are for their own use, and the two of them must be careful and cautious. The people who worked did not know that this was not for the imperial court, and under the strictness of the two, the efficiency and quality were good, and nearly 500 muskets of two kinds had been made just after the wax moon.

It's almost the New Year, and the gun has to be tested, so Zheng Zhi said: "You go back and prepare New Year's goods for everyone, and I will inspect it." ”

A man with a mountain pass, this is the most appropriate arrangement; The woman is attentive, this is the most appropriate arrangement. Gu Yao also thought so at the time, so he packed his bags, accompanied by Mo Tong, first went to Chaihe Fort, ordered a batch of fresh fish, and thirty stones of grain, and then went to the main fort.

I didn't enter the house, but I heard the sound of silk and bamboo. Gu Yao looked up at the sunset, frowned, and said in his heart, what is making a fuss at this time? No, no, when will Chai River have a happy person? With such doubts, Gu Yao pushed the door in, but he didn't even see a single person.

Mo Tong was going to go to Shen's house to find a place to nest after sending people off, but when he saw this, he couldn't help but speak: "Madam, wait for me to check first." ”

Gu Yao said angrily: "Next to the Shen family, if there is really something, the matter must be small, and it is not something that you can solve by checking it alone." ”

That's right, it's just that why is the third lady unhappy? Mo Tong silently followed, ready to improvise.

Of course, Gu Yao was not happy.

What else is there to say about this situation? This must have been caused by the mother-in-law who had come all the way to bring the piano. At this time, Zheng Zhi should be asked to come back and see, but others are not there. As for Mo Tong, when he repeated what his mother-in-law did, he would only say, "The old lady teaches people to play the piano." ”

Listening to this kind of painless words, although Zheng Zhi will be a little unpleasant, he will never have any deep feelings.

Gu Yao, who was depressed, went straight to the backyard.

In this case, it is impossible for the mother-in-law to detain the child in the front yard. If she dares to detain, she will dare to make trouble with Zheng Zhi! When he saw the dark backyard, Gu Yao was furious, rushed into the front yard angrily, pushed open the door, and shouted, "Mother, I'm back!"

The sound of the room stopped abruptly.

With just one glance, Gu Yao finished scanning the room. The houses in Tieling are generally short, and the Zheng family and the Shen family have not put on a score, and they live in small houses. Except for the hot kang, there are only a limited number of places where people can sit underground. At this time, another guqin was placed, and a guzheng was even more cramped. A room full of people, in fact, there are not many, more than ten people.

The children are not among them, not only are they not, but Yu Niang, the newly found maid Moyun, and Li Sanniang, who is the fourth milk, are not there. is not there, that is what it means not to be at home, Gu Yao hurriedly asked: "I have seen my mother." Mother, children are ......"

The Jiang family began to be startled by Gu Yao, who was calling loudly, and when he saw Gu Yao's low eyebrows and sleepy eyes as always, he sat up straight again, first answered and then reprimanded: "The children are naturally in the Shen family!" You say that you have something wrong with your own family, and you have to leave your children at someone else's house! ”

Gu Yao's mind spun quickly, thinking about Shen's temperament, he immediately guessed the matter, and immediately said: "Four children, the fourth child is not good, after coming back from the Mid-Autumn Festival and learning that his mother was affected, the third master said a few words to me, and I asked Sister Shen to help."

Jiang snorted coldly: "It's good for me, just yelling and shouting!"

Gu Yao was not to be outdone, and said: "No one answered the door, I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to hear it, so I made it louder."

Jiang knew that it was not appropriate to indulge in laughter, so when he asked Gu Yao to say this, he immediately changed the topic with some embarrassment and asked Gu Yao, "Have you ever had dinner?"

"Never—"

But I'm going to go to Shen's house for dinner! Gu Yao's words were not finished, and he only listened to Jiang's words: "It just so happens that we are also hungry, press the head, let's cook."

After speaking, he introduced Gu Yao to the people on the ground. is not only Zheng Zhi's wife, but also the lady of a thousand households, and everyone salutes Gu Yao one after another. Jiang said: "You are my guests, worthy of my sisters, her elders, you don't have to be polite."

The logic of a room of people is very simple, the mother-in-law is older than the daughter-in-law, and the mother is more important than the daughter-in-law. Because of this, they agreed that listening to the Jiang family was better than listening to Gu Yao. Hearing this, they sat back one by one, only bothering them: "Hard work third lady!"

How stupid Gu Yao is to leave behind to serve a room of people!

"Back to my mother, the third master asked me to come back because I had something to order. I was going to go to the Shen family to find Sister Shen, but because my mother was an elder, I came to my mother to say goodbye first, and then went to the Shen family. ”

"You're not cooking?"

Gu Yaoyin said: "Another day, I will be free, and I will make it for my mother." I wronged my mother tonight, and when I arrived at Shen's house, I asked his cook to cook some delicious food and send it. ”

After speaking, Gu Yaojing quit his way.

When he went to the Shen family, he saw that the child was safe and sound, and he was still in order, so Gu Yao was relieved. After learning what happened from Shen's mouth, he had to be aggrieved again. She took Shen's hand and said with emotion: "It's good to have a sister."

Shen said: "It's good to have you!" You don't know, I'm doing well with Shen Congjun now! ”

Gu Yao said unceremoniously: "Big brother has always been like this, it was my sister who was stupid before!" Anyway, the last time he saw us, why didn't he tell me about it? ”

Shen smiled: "Because I even lied to him!" I didn't tell him the truth at all, he thought it was the child you made me see. ”

Gu Yao was speechless for a moment, and then asked for a meal to be delivered to the next door. Shen directly refused, because he said: "Those stupid people from the capital, so elegant, what else do they eat?"

There is a story in it, Gu Yao was not in a hurry to ask, he sent Yu Niang back to cook, and said: "Let's go to Jin's house first, let Sister-in-law Jin help you, and then come here to see me, I have something to ask her to help."

Yu Niang took the order and left.

Gu Yao then asked about the conflict between the Shen family and the Jiang family. As expected, the Shen family, who did not know much about writing and ink, let alone qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, was despised by those people. Of course, the Shen family was the only woman in the backyard of Shen Congjun, the commander of Tielingwei, and they did not dare to despise it directly, but advertised it themselves, saying that the Shen family was another.

Coincidentally, Shen knew the allusions of Yangchun Baixue and the Xia Riba people. The Shen family, who kindly delivered the meal, was despised, and in a fit of anger, she lied that Gu Yao asked her to take the children and took the children away! Qia Yuniang didn't care whether this was true or not, she just felt that the Zheng family was not suitable to live in, so she took the child and followed the Shen family.

Shen sneered: "Your stupid mother-in-law is still proud, but I don't know how useless it is to have a maid and a mother-in-law, and you can't even bring a child!" also deceived some newly opened people, and looked at the Zheng family, how could anyone have been in Tieling for more than three months! ”

Gu Yao suddenly said that he didn't know anyone just now! It turned out that what she had seen had become an "old man" and knew the severity.

Shen said: "Not only this, there is a shameless one here, instigating my daughter to learn from me to show her love for Shen Congjun!" For the sake of your face, I endured it and didn't beat anyone to death. ”

Gu Yao immediately stopped doing it, and shouted: "No one can save face in this matter!" Whoever does, I'll go with you and beat people to death! ”

Shen sneered: "You just pretend!" There are a lot of people who are interested in Zheng Zhi, and I didn't see that it was shouting and killing! ”

"Hmph, you don't have to use a knife to kill someone, and you won't bleed."
