The pear trees in the pear orchard bloomed a tender bud, clusters, the blue owls hugged together cutely, attracting the murmuring swallows to pass through it from time to time, and a few grasses that had just revealed their intentions occasionally emerged on the dark ground, and the slight wind blew through, and the grass shook its head and shook its waist. Gu Xiyan half-leaned on the Xiangfei couch, lowered her head, and carefully sewed the spring shirt in her hand, revealing a white neck between the jet-black green silk and the turquoise neckline, and the crystal clear bone china in the warm sun.

Jade raised her head, her gaze falling on the place where the snow was bullying the frost, and a few obscurities flashed between her expressions.

Since the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Gu Xiyan called Liu Mei'er to come and began to ask the people in Liyuan to sew spring shirts with Liu Mei'er. At first, everyone thought it was sewn for a child who was born, but later it was found that the fabric was rough, the style was simple, and the clothes ranged from a few months of babies to twenty-somethings. Everyone was a little puzzled, but Mo Ju told everyone that it was sewn for the children of the Gong family.

Cuiyu didn't have any interest, but Yanhong was full of interest, and every day she took advantage of the work of the errand to make it day and night, saying that it would be done before the willow tree drew the strips.

Thinking of this, Jade couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly and set her eyes on the pear blossom tree in the yard.

The young lady made a selection of admissions in March, and made a clear stipulation of the powers of all the stewards of the house, and then asked the existing stewards to sign a petition to keep it in accordance with the stipulations of those petitions; There were a few old stewards who had been in the Qi Mansion for more than 40 years, and they were unwilling to sign it, so the young lady immediately bought a few acres of thin fields for them to raise, and as for a few younger ones, they were either exempted from errands and temporarily idle, or they were picked and directly thrown out, including the Jin Lu family.

Everyone is privately spreading that the young lady is going to start "changing the sky".

She listened, and she was a little apprehensive.

Others don't know. She is in the pear orchard, and some things are the clearest.

The young lady looked virtuous and virtuous in front of everyone. Behind his back, he sent a grandmother surnamed Tian who was originally on errand under Aunt Gao to serve Qi Yuzhi's husband and wife, listening to Mother Tian's tone, as if Qi Yuzhi and his wife had been living in separate rooms and had never shared a room since the Chinese New Year's Eve entered the mansion. It is said that the personal grandmother of the eldest young grandmother approached the young lady several times for this matter, but the young lady explained that this was the last resort to avoid any scandal during the period of illness. Mama listened, and there was no way. I had to pray to God and worship the Buddha in the hope that Mrs. Xu would get well soon, but with Mrs. Wei going in and out of Xianji Courtyard, how could Mrs. Xu's illness be cured so easily, not to mention, she was paralyzed!

However, these things have nothing to do with her in the future.

The young lady Zhang Luo helped her with a family affair.

In the future, she has seen the land. and the same year as her. He looks honest and honest. It's Jiufeng people. opened a grain and oil shop in Jiufeng City. There are still hundreds of acres of fertile land in the countryside. Although it can't be compared to black chrysanthemum and red jade. But to be able to put it out so decently. Jade was still greatly relieved.

End of March. The young lady selected a group of personal maidservants through General Gong's wife. It's all about the same as red. My father died in the sand. Now I'm learning the rules from Duan Niang. Just wait for that group of people to get started. Her wedding date will be set. It is estimated that it will be in April or May.

Jade was stunned. Sitting beside her, Di Yunshang turned jade with his hand. Jade came back to her senses. Asked Yunshang with his eyes. Yunshang lowered her head. He bowed his head and sewed his clothes.

Jade was stunned. Hurriedly lowered his head. Look around with the corner of your eye.

Originally. The young lady had stopped her needlework. Xingyu is squatting to put on her shoes.

The young lady is more than eight months pregnant. Labor is about to begin, and the delivery room, the stable wife, and the nurse at home have prepared four or five, and everyone is waiting for the expected date of delivery.

Gu Xiyan stood up with Mo Ju's support, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on his stomach.

She is open-minded, she has been eight months, but her belly is not big, she looks like she is only five or six months old, and since the child is four months old, she has to walk around the forest in front of Xianji Courtyard a few times every day, although it is not like the wind, but there is no swelling between actions, even Aunt Gao is very optimistic about the situation of her birthplace. She was doing needlework in the house by herself, feeling cold and lonely, knowing that Yunshang and a few people took advantage of the good sun today to work in the pear forest, so they wanted to come and have a good time, who knew that as soon as she came, a few little girls with a restrained smile became restrained, and the atmosphere became a little dull. Gu Xiyan tried to tell a few jokes, but she couldn't turn the atmosphere around, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, and decided to go and see a few little girls who were learning the rules from Duan Niang in Yongcuiju.

The new girls are called Sihong, one is called Momiji, one is called Chunxiu, and the other is called Taozhi.

Gu Xiyan didn't rename the new girls like other people, but let them keep their original names.

Several little girls were of different ages, the eldest was fifteen or six years old, and the younger one was only eleven or twelve years old.

The movements are gentle and generous, and they are not the same as when they first came.

Gu Xiyan nodded slightly.

Somehow, she remembered the day when she accepted the bowing of several girls from his family at the Shi family.

I don't know if that Miss Xu is still on an errand in the Shi family.

As soon as she wanted to have a family meal with a few little girls, Xingyu came over: "Young lady, the twelve young grandmothers of the Liu family are here!" ”

Liang Zhangzhu was called by Gu Xiyan.

"Oh!" She answered, said a few words to a few little girls, and confessed to Duan Niang, and then returned to the main house in the pear orchard.

Liang Zhangzhu is standing under the eaves and so on.

Since last year, I entrusted Liang Zhangzhu with a letter, and everyone hasn't seen each other for almost a year.

Liang Zhangzhu saw Gu Xiyan coming over, greeted her and saluted, Gu Xiyan greeted her politely, and the two entered the house and sat down outside.

Mo Ju served tea to Liang Zhangzhu, and Gu Xiyan asked Gu Panxi about his current situation.

Speaking of Gu Panxi, even Liang Zhangzhu was a little uncontrollable and proud: "I worshiped under the door of Mr. Hong Shaotong, and I won the examination in March this year, and I won the first place." The court sealed the birth of the emperor, and the entire Jiangnan County was a sensation...... I'm going to take the township exam next fall! ”

"Hit the show. First place...... "Gu Xiyan was dumbfounded, "Pan Xi, I'm only eleven years old this year!" ”

Liang Zhangzhu said with honor: "Ambition is not in the old age...... I heard the master say, now that Elder Hong Shaotong has taken Young Master Gu with him to teach him first! ”

Gu Xiyan's forehead was sweating.

The Gu family is indeed very good at reading.

I just don't know what the character is!

Liang Zhangzhu smiled again: "Since Mrs. Gu moved to Jiangnan, she has lived in a simple house, and she is from her mother's family. is also waiting for leisure, and he is wholeheartedly guarding Young Master Gu's life! There was a hint of explanation in his tone.

Gu Xiyan was stunned, but soon understood.

Liang Zhangzhu was telling her that Mrs. Liu was keeping Gu Baozhang's chastity in her hometown in Shuzhou!

Hearing her here, she couldn't help but smile bitterly.

If Liu Caixia can meet the right person, she will naturally raise her hands in favor of her remarriage, but with Gu Panxi's "appearance", I am afraid it will be difficult for Liu Caixia to remarry!

Gu Xiyan couldn't help but sigh. When he raised his eyes, he saw Liang Zhangzhu's rather scrutinizing gaze.

I'm thinking about it again.

She smiled faintly, changed the topic, and talked to Liang Zhangzhu about the purpose of calling her to come.

"I heard that the young grandmother opened a coarse cloth shop on the outskirts of Yongzhou. Business is not bad. ”

Liang Zhangzhu was stunned.

To be honest, every time she came to Qi Mansion to see this young lady, she was a little nervous.

She always speaks and acts with a hammer in the east and a hammer in the west, which makes people confused.

"Hmm!" Liang Zhangzhu said with a smile: "Our family started from weaving, although we can't weave top silk such as gold silk and colored silk, but this is ordinary coarse cloth. Looking at the entire Xia Kingdom, there is no one whose goods are better than ours, and the price is lower than ours. ”

In this matter, Gu Xiyan had sent Siping to inquire in advance.

Since the Liu family lost the business of the Internal Affairs Office, they have changed to make money from the peddlers' pawns. Working the original rough cotton cloth, in the past few decades, the Liu family has actually produced a kind of cotton cloth called "stepping cloth" among the people, although this kind of cotton cloth is rough, but strong and cheap. Ordinary people use this cloth to make a robe. It's not a problem to wear it for ten years. In the past two or three years, this cloth has become popular from the north and south of the river.

Gu Xiyan nodded. smiled: "I heard that the Yanguo Mansion is going to use your stepping cloth to make robes for the soldiers in the line, I don't know how the discussion is?" ”

Liang Zhangzhu couldn't help but "click" in his heart.

If this business is completed, and then it is pushed from the Yanguo Mansion to other Guogong Mansions and even Xizhao, then the Liu family can take this opportunity to wash away the shame and deal with the Internal Affairs Office again, and there will be a chance to compete with the Wu family in Jiangnan for the Jiangnan weaving business.

But I don't know what the young lady means by asking?

Gu Xiyan looked at Liang Zhangzhu, who had always been generous and straightforward in front of him, and he was sweating with his sideburns, and he sighed a little.

If this business wants to be big, it has to be officials and businessmen, but officials and businessmen, officials and businessmen, have always been officials in the front and businessmen in the back......

She originally wanted to find Liang Zhangzhu for help, but the relationship is a relationship, and the favor still has to be talked about, so why make people unhappy.

Gu Xiyan hurriedly said: "That's the case, I heard that you are only going to provide cloth, and then other merchants will undertake this sewing business, so I would like to ask you to scoop an idea." ”

"You say!" Liang Zhangzhu also calmed down and listened carefully.

"Let's see if the two of us can cooperate, you will provide the cloth, and our local people will be responsible for making military robes!"

This is the business of the Yanguo Mansion...... The money earned is also the money of the Yan State Mansion...... Who are we? The other ladies of the Qi family, still referring to herself, Liang Zhangzhu looked at Gu Xiyan dumbfounded: "Young lady, do you want to do business?" ”

Gu Xiyan nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, I want to do business!" ”
