Gu Ling'er regretted it, regretted that she used the wrong method at the beginning, she was too arrogant, and made a mess of good things, so she came to Gu Sanni.

She didn't dare to act as openly as before, she wanted to slowly get closer to that Gu Erni by building a good relationship with Gu Sanni, as long as she could fool Gu Erni, wouldn't it be a matter of time before she entered the courtyard?

The only thing she didn't expect was that Gu Sanni was reluctant to deal with her, so her plan was not easy to implement.

Gu Ling'er walked slowly towards Gu's house, thinking about what to do next.

After these days of deliberately currying favor, the Gu family's attitude towards her is much better than when she first came back.

However, she still didn't like to stay in the Gu family, the Gu family had too much work to do, and she didn't want to do it. But if you don't do it, I'm afraid that the Gu family, who has finally changed their attitude towards her, will have an opinion on her again.

It was so tiring, especially in this cold, dry season, her hands were rough and cracked. She wants to live the kind of life that is served by someone like Gu Sanni.

But after thinking about it for a long time, I felt that I couldn't reach people, and everything was in vain.

Then she will continue to go to the courtyard, see people's hearts for a long time, anyway, she has nothing, she just has time, take her time, she doesn't believe that she can't grind those people.

Because he had already experienced Gu Ling'er's difficulties and had a plan, looking at Gu Ling'er who came to report every day, Gu Jin was calm and did not fluctuate at all.

A few days later, she and Shen Jingcheng packed their bags, went to the county to get a road guide, and drove to Qingzhou Mansion in a carriage.

The temperature in the mountains is much lower than that in Shimu Village, but fortunately, the two of them were also prepared, and as soon as they felt cold, they immediately added thick clothes, and then walked around the mountains.

Because it is a place to settle down, and it may be a place where they will never move out in the future, the two are much more demanding on various conditions.

First of all, there should be a water source, so that the draft is more convenient, secondly, the soil quality should be good, suitable for growing food, and the other is that the terrain should not be too low, in case of flooding disasters when the rain is heavy.

Under all conditions, there are very few suitable places.

The two wandered around the mountains for more than half a month, and finally found a good place.

This is a place surrounded by many large mountains of varying heights, and at the foot of the mountain there is a flat land, with a radius of about ten miles, and a small river flows through the middle of this land, and the flat land is full of lush weeds and thick wild vegetables, and the soil quality is good.

To the north of this land, on the side of a small mountain, there is a flat place with a radius of several miles, and there are a few small streams formed by springs on the top of the mountain, and the only drawback is that it is far from the plain, and it is not convenient to enter and exit the mountain.

Gu Jin stood halfway up the mountain, looking at the small river at the foot of the mountain and the land on both sides, his eyes were tangled.

It's nice here, but the temperature in the mountains is noticeably colder than in the plains, and she's afraid she won't be able to stand it in winter.

Shen Jingcheng saw her entangled, looked around at the surrounding verdant mountains, and said, "No one stipulates that we can only settle in one place, we can buy this mountain as a backup, and then farm and buy property in the plains outside the mountain, we will live outside the mountain in the prosperous times, and we will live here to escape and recuperate in the troubled times."

"Wouldn't it cost us a lot of silver?" Gu Jin raised his head and looked at Shen Jingcheng, who was looking at the green mountains around him.

"Isn't the money earned for the money?" Shen Jingcheng looked at her with a smile in his eyes: "How about it, do you want to buy this mountain?"

Gu Jin looked at the land at the foot of the mountain, and then at the babbling stream on the mountain, and thought about Shen Jingcheng's analysis very seriously, and finally nodded: "Okay, then buy this mountain, and then let's see where the plain outside the mountain is suitable to settle in."

Shen Jingcheng smiled when he heard this, carefully recorded this landmark, and walked with Gu Jin to the county seat in charge of this mountain, he had to buy the mountain he was optimistic about first.

Now the household registration of the two of them is in Jishui Mansion, if there is no industry here, they can't come to open up the wasteland at will, they can only come here to open up the land and farm the land openly.

Arrived in Qingshan County

When it was already dark, the two reluctantly found an inn to rest for the night, and then went to the county office.

Early the next morning, the chief bookkeeper of Qingshan County was surprised when he heard that someone had bought a barren mountain.

Their county is very poor, saying that it is a county, but it can't even compare with the towns in other counties, and even a county government can't afford to build it, and the population of the entire county is a little more than the population of a prosperous town.

When he followed Shen Jingcheng for a long time, and finally came to this mountain, he was almost not tired to death, and his eyes when he looked at Shen Jingcheng and Gu Jin were all weird.

Isn't there something wrong with these two people, this place is good, but it's too far, it's not convenient to enter and exit, is it to buy a mountain here to escape from the world?

But as long as someone buys a mountain, the county will have income, and the main book took out the fish scale book to find out the location of the mountain and circled it, and when he returned to the county office, he immediately applied for the land deed for the two of them.

After the title deed was completed, Gu Jin and Shen Jingcheng stayed in this small county town for another night, and the next day they inquired about where there were stonemasons, and the two rushed to the stonemason's house, and after negotiating the price with the stonemason, he asked him to find a few more people to mine the stone.

Shen Jingcheng has seen it, the stone on the hill is still very suitable for building a house, start mining the stone now, and in the spring of next year, you will almost be able to mine enough stone to build a house here and outside the mountain, and then you can directly find a craftsman to build a house.

Before leaving, Shen Jingcheng asked the little servant to stay here to supervise the work, and at the same time left him half a bag of grain and the cotton clothes and quilts that had been prepared a long time ago.

After leaving the mountain, the two of them found a place in the plains where a river passed through and the soil was good, and made a mark, preparing to build a house here next year.

After running for nearly a month, when the two returned to Shimu Village, they happened to meet Gu Ling'er, who came to the door again.

Gu Jin didn't expect that it had been so many days, Gu Ling'er would come back, and she couldn't admire her.

Really, if it were her, if she didn't see anyone every day, she probably wouldn't have come a long time ago, and this kind of persistence is not something that everyone can have, no wonder she can marry the prince in the future.

In fact, Gu Ling'er has as much perseverance as Gu Jin thought, now that the weather is getting colder and colder, she just comes over every day, and when she doesn't see anyone and feels cold, she looks back at home.

As if he hadn't seen Gu Ling'er at the door, Gu Jin jumped out of the carriage and walked past her to the courtyard.

Gu Ling'er hadn't seen Gu Jin for a long time, and now when she saw this face with eyebrows somewhat similar to herself, she was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously screamed.

"Second sister."

Gu Jin turned his head when he heard this, his eyes were cold and cold, as if he didn't know her at all.

Facing Gu Jin, who had a cold face, Gu Ling'er suddenly didn't know why she was calling her just now, opened her mouth several times, and tried to burst into a timid smile, saying, "Second sister, can you help me call the third sister?"

Gu Jin smiled at her after hearing this, didn't say anything, and went back to the courtyard.

Shen Jingcheng asked Zhou Quan to lead the carriage to the courtyard where the Zhao family was, and walked in past Gu Ling'er without turning a blind eye.

Seeing with her own eyes how Shen Jingcheng beat Gu Dajiang, Gu Ling'er subconsciously became angry with him.

She knew that this person really couldn't be provoked, and now she had just coaxed the Gu family better, so don't be disturbed by this person all of a sudden.

After all, it was her only way out now.
