After seeing Gu Wan'er, Li Yu returned to the house with stars and moons.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw Gu Lei changing into homely clothes and washing his face.

"Where are you going, you're so busy here, how can you do this, don't you have to be physically exhausted, you can't finish it and do it again tomorrow, let me wait."

Gu Lei frowned and was not very happy.

Li Yu entered the house with a smile, took the tea he handed over and took a sip before saying: "I really didn't do any work today, but the old man of the clan went to a few houses, talked about the workshop, and came back to eat with grandpa and them in the evening, and walked with grandpa." By the way, I went to Wan'er's yard and told my grandmother. ”

"Today, I just ran away, I really didn't work, I read the account books, my sister is too frugal, and this day almost doesn't cost money."

"Oops! Then I'm spending money like water, and the manager of Ming'er Yue'er's store came over to tailor the clothes, send some fabrics, and let my sister make a few more clothes, and then go back and make some jewelry. ”

Gu Lei was very happy to see her, not like she was tired, so he sat down to talk.

"Have you eaten, there is ready-made food in the kitchen."

"Then you accompany me for a drink, come to two light dishes, in fact, I have also eaten, I ate with His Royal Highness in the afternoon, eat early, this will make my mouth want to eat something."

"Okay, let the small kitchen order the whole dishes, drink two glasses of wine, go get my ten-year-old pear blossom white, fry a quail, and make two side dishes."

"Okay, that's it."

After a while, the kitchen sent fast dishes, fried quails, braised pork made in advance and cut a plate, as well as spicy pig's trotters, steamed Sixi meatballs, which were also made in advance.

"It's a good dish."

Li Yu glanced at it and nodded, poured pear blossom white, and made his own wine.

This craft was learned from his mother, and the good wine of the Li family was made by the two mothers.

poured Gu Lei a glass of wine, "Are you busy going to the river embankment today, when will you repair it?" ”

"This year, it will be repaired until winter, and it will be completed next year, three shifts, take turns, change places once a month, and change people if you don't do it well."

"Your idea."

"I learned from you, I was praised by His Royal Highness, there are almost no lazy grinders, there are a lot of refugees outside, and many people want to come."

"You can't use it for a group of people."

"Yes, change it, change the place once a month, change a group of refugees, pick the most bitter first, the cooking on the embankment is all old and weak women, this time the embankment chores are arranged by me, Your Highness is very satisfied."

Gu Lei nibbled on the smell of pig's trotters and ate it, and he was not too hungry to just want to take a mouthful.

After drinking a glass of pear blossom white, he smashed his mouth, "Good wine, Shunyo, your skills are getting better and better." Is there any good wine, I will go back and send some to His Royal Highness and the princess, and a few sons will also have to send it, and gifts are indispensable. ”

"You don't care, I'll arrange it, just tell me what is missing, and what more gifts need to be added separately."

Li Yu already has an account book and a charter in his heart, these are all old jobs, and he doesn't have to worry about these trivial things.

"Daughter-in-law, I can save a lot of worry when you enter the door, you can concentrate on learning skills in court affairs, I was so tired that I was ...... before, for fear that it would fall, and the candles burned at both ends, I couldn't concentrate, fortunately, the old generals didn't dislike me, otherwise I would have gotten away."

Everyone values him, understands him, knows that he is not easy, plus he is pragmatic and down-to-earth, talented and low-key and humble, and has excellent character, he is indeed liked by the old guys and is willing to tolerate him.

"You just have to do a good job of learning the front affairs, and leave the next things to me, you just need to explain the tasks, and I will do the rest. The division of labor and cooperation between the two of us can't be wrong with the charter. ”

Li Yu said with a smile.

"Don't drink this, this spicy, you drink plum bar."

The servants prepared plum wine, which Li Yu likes to drink, and they are all familiar with her preferences, and the minions are considerate, and they have scalded two kinds of wine in advance and sent them over.

Li Yu drank a glass of plum wine and nodded, "This year's plum wine tastes good." ”

"You told the fifth grandmother about the workshop."

"I said, I also told my grandfather, bring a few brothers and uncles, grandpa said that if he can see it, he will take it away, and if he doesn't obey, he will be locked up."

"The old man has a high vision, I am not the top in his heart, and I don't look down on the careful gentlemen, and I am not willing to help them speak."

"It's up to you to go to the front, just like we use minions. You see that the one you have to use around you is Lin Shu Lynch, and several little guys grew up together, so why did they stay, and the others fell behind. ”

Gu Lei nodded, "That's the reason, but some people in the clan don't understand this truth, and they all think that my grandfather is biased and only I don't care about my relatives, but it's not." ”

He smashed his mouth and shook his head.

"The Gu family still has some network power, but if I can't help my head, even if my father-in-law protects me, people will still ignore me, and they will stomp on my feet when they get this opportunity."

"Grandpa is old, and he can't afford to carry a knife on a horse. The Gu family does not have outstanding generals to inherit the mantle, and my roots are not suitable to be military generals, and now this situation is again, and the Gu family is much more difficult than the Li family. ”

Gu Lei drank a glass of wine, a little tired, this tiredness is unspeakable, his heart is tired, the crisis is heavy, and the burden is too heavy.

Everyone is watching and considering, whether to fight or lift, it is all in the minds of others.

You are a lamb to the slaughter, and whether you want to be suppressed or not depends on whether you are a sheep or a wolf cub.

Many clansmen in the Gu family didn't see these crises and thought that there were benefits and didn't want to think about them.

Gu Lei can't rely on Boss Li's father-in-law, Li Jiaerlang stood up in a row, waiting to be carried out.

Li Yu didn't speak, she knew that he had silently suffered a lot of grievances and held back for a long time.

This courage is too heavy, he suddenly lost his father, his grandfather is old, his mother doesn't care about the wind and snow, a room full of old, weak, sick and disabled, widows and children.

Erlang still has to be careful, there are many crises outside, and he has not yet fully matured to provoke the heavy responsibility of the more than 400 members of the Gu family.

He is only eighteen years old, he already has no right to make mistakes, no qualifications to be willful, and even too much emotion on his face is wrong, unstable and immature.

The opportunity was not eye-catching enough, Erlang had to pick and choose, and he wanted to dislike it, but he didn't know that such an opportunity was also the opportunity for him to run up and down to show his face, bend down and beg for a small low.

"I often think that my father can still make so many achievements when he was suppressed by the first emperor, I am not as good as my father, and I don't complain that my grandfather didn't take a fancy to me."

Gu Lei drank another glass of wine, a little sentimental.

Late pain and sadness exert its due power.

"No, you're no worse than your father-in-law, your father-in-law isn't as difficult as you, don't be presumptuous, you've done a good job. My grandfather always praised you, saying that the Gu family is the greatest blessing to have you, maybe the opportunity is in you. ”

This is what Grandpa Li said, he is very optimistic about Gu Lei, he can endure what ordinary people can't bear, he can bend his waist that others can't bend, and he can shoulder the responsibility that others can't resist.

In just a few years, the Gu family has landed smoothly in his hands, and the industry or opportunities have not fallen, and what he has done has made the family gate valves nod approvingly, which is really good.

Not all credit has to be earth-shattering to be recognized, and the more trivial things are, the more they test people's abilities.
