The subordinate reported Huo Xianjiu's visit to Steward Gu.

"The little marquis instructed the little one, when the eldest lady and the young lady return to the house, be sure to go to the palace to spread the word. The small ones should be down. ”

After speaking, the subordinate took out the purse given by Huo Xianjiu, "This is the reward of the little marquis." ”

"Hmm."

Steward Gu glanced at his purse, "Since this is a reward given to you by the little marquis, you can take it and divide it yourself." ”

As for what the subordinates promised, it was not a big deal.

Huo Xiaohou is the apprentice of the second master, and it is common for him to come and meet the eldest sister-in-law found by his master.

Gu Qinhan called him Uncle Gu, and Huo Xianjiu also respected him because of this, but it couldn't change the fact that he was a slave.

He couldn't have said he could stop it, and he couldn't stop it.

Gu Guan thinks clearly.

Let the subordinate put away the purse, and then looked at the two baskets of persimmons in the Zhuangzi, "This is the eldest lady and the eldest lady just picked, you just took it back to the house to give a share." ”

Yanjing is rich in persimmons, so persimmons are not a precious thing, but this is picked by the master himself, and the meaning is naturally different.

The subordinate responded with a bow, called someone to take a hand, carried the persimmon to the carriage, and then returned to Gufu.

Steward Gu went to the kitchen, and when he saw that lunch was almost ready, he looked for crutches, went up the mountain, and went to find Su Mo and them.

Gu Steward is getting old, and the sun is scorching today, and he is out of breath when he goes up the mountain.

He stood in the shade of a tree with a cane, wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeve, and then looked at Gu Xingnian, unable to hide the smile in his eyes.

The little girl was holding a persimmon and eating it, her cheeks were stained with juice, like a little flower cat.

Steward Gu couldn't hold back a smile and said, "Madam, eldest lady, it's time to go down the mountain for lunch." ”

Su Mo put the picked persimmons into the basket, and then looked at the sky through the gap between the branches, "It's noon." ”

This picks up persimmons, and the hour flies quite quickly.

"Don't pick it up, go down the mountain to eat."

Su Mo wiped her sweat, then looked at Gu Xingnian, who had just finished eating persimmons, took out a handkerchief, and wiped her face clean.

"Okay, the persimmon is cold, don't eat it anymore."

Gu Xingnian blinked, touched his round little belly, but did not object, and obediently followed Su Mo down the mountain.

It's just that before leaving, she looked at Mrs. Wang and said with a look: "The persimmons I picked must be collected, and I want to take them back and give them away!" ”

Gu Xingnian didn't just eat or pick, she picked a small basket, and she still broke her thoughts while picking.

First read the eldest brother and pick six, and then read the second brother and pick six.

There is also Brother Qingzhou, Gu Qinhan who has changed from an uncle to an uncle, grandfather in charge, grandfather emperor...

She was impartial and picked six of them each.

Mrs. Wang smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, the old slaves are staring." ”

Gu Xingnian turned around with satisfaction, took Su Mo by the hand, and walked down the mountain with his calves.

In addition to the persimmons all over the mountain, Zhuangzi also has a lot of fields and land.

The rice in the field was harvested for less than two months, and the cook specially used the new rice to cook rice, and the vegetables were also picked from the field, which was very fresh.

In addition, he also killed the chickens and ducks raised in the Zhuangzi, and the little lamb was also slaughtered and kept for roast sheep at night.

Gu Xingnian looked at the table full of dishes, and suddenly regretted that he had just eaten so many persimmons on the mountain.

The little mouth was pouting, sullen.

Seeing this, Steward Gu leaned over her ear and told her the news that there was a roast sheep in the evening.

The little girl's eyes lit up immediately.

Although in Luoshan Village before, Su Mo had raised a milk-producing ewe, which was slaughtered and eaten during the New Year.

But it was winter at that time, and Su Mo thought about the mutton stewed to eat nourishment, and after giving a few portions to the village chief, the mutton that he kept was stewed and eaten.

She hasn't tasted this roast lamb yet!

The little girl licked her lips and began to look forward to the night.

After lunch, Gu Xingnian was led by Jade to wander around and eat.

Steward Gu told Su Mo about Huo Xianjiu's visit to the Gu Mansion.

“…… This Huo Xiaohou is the apprentice of the second master, and he is the nephew of the current saint, and it is reasonable to learn about you.

The little marquis has always respected the second master, and when he comes to the house in the future, for the sake of the second master's face, he will also respect the lady a little, so you don't have to worry about anything else, just come to visit as your own junior. ”

Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher.

Huo Xianjiu lost his mother since he was a child, and his father escaped into the empty door, although he was loved by his grandfather and uncle, he still longed for his father's love.

Although Gu Qinhan was only a few years older than him, after Gu Qinhan accepted him as an apprentice, he did not indulge him like his grandfather and uncle because of his identity and life experience.

Instead, he strictly disciplined him, taught him, and even personally instructed him in martial arts...

But when something happens, he will also go to him to save him as soon as possible, protect him behind him, and connive at him to fake the tiger in the name of the black armor...

It can be said that Gu Qinhan's appearance filled the vacancy of his father's position in Huo Xianjiu's life.

Huo Xianjiu put Gu Qinhan's position very seriously, and naturally regarded Gu Qinhan's family as his own family.

If this treats him too politely, Huo Xianjiu will feel uncomfortable.

Steward Gu knows it in his heart.

Su Mo still had a little impression of Huo Xianjiu.

When he was in Huzhou Mansion, he bought his tiger.

Of course, Su Mo remembered that he was not because of this, but because Huo Xianjiu made a generous move, and he rewarded it casually, which was gold.

It's just that I don't know if the arrogant and pampered noble young man still remembers the events of that year.

Although he has dressed up in disguise, he has only yellowed his face, and if he still has an impression, he can still recognize it by carefully comparing his eyebrows and eyes.

But that's probably not possible.

For a noble child like Huo Xianjiu, at that time, she couldn't even be called a passerby in her life, so how could she still leave an impression.

Su Mo shook his head slightly, brushed aside his thoughts, and bowed his head towards Steward Gu, "I know." ”

Steward Gu already knew what kind of character his eldest lady was, and when he saw this, he didn't say anything and withdrew.

At night, Gu Xingnian ate fragrant roast lamb.

The mutton is sprinkled with seasonings from the Western Regions and paired with freshly picked vegetables from the field, which is endlessly evocative.

If it weren't for Su Mo thinking that the mutton was sweet and warm, it would not be appropriate to eat more, and stopped Gu Xingnian, the little girl could keep eating.

Left and right were also full, Gu Xingnian blinked, not staring at the mutton, she cooperated with Amber to clean her hands, and ate a ball handed over by Steward Gu to consume, and walked around.

With jade and they followed, Su Mo was also relieved.

There was still a lot of mutton left to eat, so Su Mo said to Steward Gu and asked him to take it and share it with the people in Zhuangzi.

The people in this village are all minions bought by the Gu Mansion.

Although they live in Zhuangzi, it does not mean that they can rely on Zhuangzi to achieve self-sufficiency.

The Gu family secretly has a lot of industries, and the chickens, ducks and sheep raised here, except for those sent to Gufu, the rest is sent to Gufu's restaurant.

Every year, the new rice is also selected, the best one is sent to Gufu, and the rest is sent to the grain store...

On the grain shop, the leftover old rice from previous years was collected, divided into one point according to the demand of Zhuangzi in various parts of the Gu Mansion, and then sent it over.

In terms of vegetables, vegetarian dishes can be picked directly from the Zhuangzi, and meat is regularly delivered to the Zhuangzi.

If there is a pond in the Zhuangzi, the people in it can go to catch fish and beat their teeth.

Gu Fu's treatment is already good.

After all, a slave is an object in the eyes of the nobles of the family, especially not a slave who is placed around.

Most of the noble families arrange a trustworthy housekeeper to go to the Zhuangzi to keep an eye on it, and give everything to the housekeeper, as for the life and death of the slaves below, they don't have the heart to care so much.
