Gu's mother shut up in embarrassment.

Oops, she accidentally said it out of her mouth.

"Mother, don't hide it from me." Li Mumu sat down beside Gu's mother.

Gu's mother was sitting on the stone bench in the pavilion.

There are melons and fruits on the stone table.

"Mother, how long have you heard those words?" Li Mumu asked.

"Actually, it didn't take long, and I didn't hear much." Gu Mu said.

Li Mumu didn't believe it, so he turned his head and asked Gu Xiuxiu, "Xiuxiu, how long have you heard it?" ”

Gu Xiuxiu is a child who can't lie, and she never lies to her.

Hearing Li Mumu ask, although Gu Xiuxiu was embarrassed, she still said truthfully, "I've heard it for more than a month." ”

"Mu Mu, don't care about those boring gossip." Gu's mother said, "We know how good our own life is." Those who gossip don't look down on others. As far as the Mrs. Liu I was talking about, while telling me that her daughter-in-law would not be able to run the house, she even came to me and told me to be careful that you are too good at making money and pressing us. ”

Gu's mother sneered, "She's just jealous that you can be capable and filial, and she's good to Shang Qing." It's hard to find a lantern like you. This kind of is that you don't have your own family and can't see other people's good families. According to Master Guan's words, it is to harm others and not to oneself. ”

"Even Master Guan knows?" Li Mumu was surprised.

Guan Fuzi has always been lazy and lazy.

"Guan Fuzi likes to go to the teahouse to eat tea and listen to books." Gu Mu said, "Therefore, he also knows." Guan Fuzi was still worried that we would think too much, so he persuaded us. Harming others and benefiting oneself was what it said at that time. ”

"But there is no need for Master Guan to say it, and we will not be affected by those gossip." Gu's mother said to Li Mumu, "We know how good our own life is." Those people don't know it, so they talk outside, and let them go. Let them talk, and there will be no shortage of meat. ”

"I think that at the beginning, when we were still living in Yong'an Village, the rumors of Shang Qing's death in battle came, did you have less ugly gossip?" Gu Mu said, "At that time, you didn't care, you said that we just knew our own affairs, and we didn't have to care what others thought." ”

"You insist that Shang Qing is not dead, and even being said that you are stimulated and your brain is not clear, and you don't care." Gu Mu said, "Because of your persistence, we also wavered in our hearts. To be honest, although you were very insistent at that time, we still believed that Shang Qing was dead. ”

"It's just because of your insistence, so you are not in a hurry to hold a funeral for Shang Qing and set up a mound of clothes." Gu Mu smiled, "If it weren't for your persistence, Shang Qing would come back alive later, if you see his tablet and be well-dressed, how unlucky." ”

"It's also because you insist that he's not dead, and to be honest, there's a little place in our hearts that holds hope. Thinking that maybe it's really as you said, Shang Qing is not dead yet. Gu Mu said.

"Every time we think that Shang Qing probably won't be able to come back, you give us confidence. Shang Qing went on a mission this time. Gu Mu said, "You firmly believe that even if he is dead, you have to see his corpse to believe." If you hadn't insisted on looking, we'd ...... I'm afraid I won't see him anymore. ”

"And when these things happen, is there less gossip about you outside? When they spoke of you, it was even worse to hear than they do now. Gu Mu said, "But do you think it's inappropriate?" Do you feel angry? ”

Li Mumu shook his head, "No, I know my own affairs, outsiders don't know, and self-righteous comments will not affect me at all." ”

"That's it." Gu Mu said, "You firmly believe that Shang Qing is not dead, no matter what outsiders say, in the end, Shang Qing came back, we are happy, and they are the ones who slapped their faces." You go to save Shang Qing, outsiders think you are stupid, it's dangerous, maybe you won't be able to come back. But you rescued Shang Qing back, and it was us who reunited the family. ”

"Outsiders think you're crazy, but we know our own happiness, and we can live a good life by ourselves, that's enough." Gu's mother smiled slightly, "Those gossips, for me, for your father, for your brother and sister-in-law, nephews and nieces, the same is true. ”

"We have earned our own money, and we have a good life, but they outsiders can't earn it, so what if they say it? We live a good life by ourselves. Gu Mu said, "Our family's business is indeed your idea." Your brother and sister-in-law are all following you, if it weren't for you, we would still be farming at home. ”

"You let all three children go to school, and even participate in the imperial examinations. Needless to say, Bai Yuan is a good material for reading, I really didn't expect that even Xiuxiu has the potential to become a talented woman. Gu's mother smiled, "Originally, only Bai Jin was left, and he didn't like to read much, so I was a little worried, thinking that if it really didn't work, I would ask him to follow his father and mother to do business in the future." ”

"I don't want him to do well, just be serious. Your eldest brother and second brother are not business materials, but they are honest and willing to work, and they are not doing very well? Who knew that you would be able to discover his specialty, and if this kid could really enter the Ministry of Engineering in the future, it would be a blessing for our family. ”

"It's still the same sentence, we have a good life at home, we know it. No matter how much others gossip, it's useless. They know what kind of life they are living in their own homes. ”

"We don't pay attention to the gossip outside, and even take those words as jokes." Gu Mu said, "I was just worried that you would think too much after listening to it, so I didn't tell you." ”

"And you're busy, it's too late to get down to business, so why waste time paying attention to these." Gu Mu said.

Gu Mu and the others didn't care about these words, so Li Mumu had nothing to worry about.

It's hot in the capital, and Li Mumu has already begun to prepare new products for Gujia snacks, Gujia fried chicken and a rest.

Those summer ice drinks in later generations are now available.

With a variety of teas as a base, plus pulp and juice, it is a delicious summer fruit tea.

It's a pity that it's not easy to store ice now, that is, the ice in the palace has a share, and it has to be used sparingly every day.

Li Mumu also stored some ice in the winter, but he wanted to save it until the summer and put it in the house to relieve the heat.

Otherwise, in Daxi, who has no air conditioning, Li Mumu really doesn't know how to spend the hot and difficult summer.

When I was in Yong'an Village and Chong'an before, I didn't have such conditions, and I was reluctant to be so extravagant.

When it comes to summer, it's really sinful.

Therefore, in the capital, the economic conditions at home are getting better and better, and there are times when some ice can be used and some cellars can be stored.

Li Mumu took advantage of the winter to save some ice for use in the summer.

However, it is still expensive to store these, so it is impossible to use them in the fruit tea in the store.

These ices can be eaten occasionally at home on weekdays, but it is certainly not practical to sell them in large quantities.
