My Grandma Chapter 242: In the midst of a busy schedule
Around the end of the morning, drizzle began.
Shi Gun came back and told Gu Yan that it was difficult to walk on the road when it rained. Ji Mo had lunch and asked Wan Qing to wait on Miss Li before setting off back to Lijiaji.
After passing on the words of his eldest son, Shi Gun smiled and said in a suppressed voice: "The eldest son ordered his car to be pulled out for Miss Li to use. There is a heater under the eldest son's car. Remember to let the driver pull it out."
The rain eaves are on display and I open the window to watch the rain. It’s not cold at all.”
Wan Qing's eyes widened as she smiled, and she knelt down and thanked Shigun repeatedly.
Watching the stone roll out, Wan Qing met Li Xiaonan's puzzled gaze and laughed happily for a few times before sitting next to Li Xiaonan and talking.
"Didn't we go back to the capital for the Spring Festival last year? We are about the same age, and we are all second-class. There are seventeen or eight of us. Once we were talking together, a group of people surrounded me. Am I the only one who has been to Pingjiang?<
/p>
"Our two villas in Hangzhou and Pingjiang are very famous throughout the capital.
"Everyone gathered around me asking questions, and Pomegranate, who was waiting in our princess's yard, became unhappy.
"Usually, among us, she is the sharp one, and we all talk around her.
"The pomegranate pricked me, and she said she was waiting in our princess's car and so on.
"In our house, besides our princess, there are big cars like our princess's, which are our prince and prince. It's only in the past two years that our prince has started to use the car once or twice. Our prince never rides in the car.
For us people, only pomegranates can show off this and that of this car."
"Ah? Is there something special about this car, etiquette or something?" Li Xiaonan immediately asked in shock, etiquette is a big deal.
"It's not etiquette, but it's very particular. The roof and windows are made of large ramrod tiles. The doors and windows are closed tightly, and the car is very bright. There is a heater under the carriage board, like an earth dragon, and the interior of the carriage is warm.
There is no carbon gas, the roof can be removed, and rain canopies can be added. The car is fast and not too bumpy. The car is high, so it must be done by horses, at least two horses. Thank you!"
Wan Qing smiled with crooked eyes.
Li Xiaonan and Wan Qing ate in a hurry. The prince didn't ask about snacks, so Wan Qing ordered a bunch of snacks and soup. Together with Li Xiaonan, they got in the car early and headed back to Lijiaji.
Gu Yan's car is simple in style, with no flowers at all. The large clear tiles of excellent quality are pale yellow in color, as if they are old and yellowed plain yarn. Apart from being large, there is no luxury at all, but there is something special inside. Wan Qing and Li Xiaonan carefully looked around every corner of the car, and sat contentedly lying side by side in the soft car.
Li Xiaonan closed her eyes, listened to the sound of raindrops hitting the roof of the car, and let out a long sigh.
It’s great to have money!
The two lay down for a while, and Wan Qing got up, took out the snacks, and filled the biggest table in the car.
"There are Xiaodiaoli soup, Qingxiang soup, and sweet-scented osmanthus stuffed soup. What should I drink?" Wan Qing asked.
"They are all sweet. They are too boring together. Make a pot of tea." Li Xiaonan sat up and looked at the snacks on the table, wondering which one to eat first and which one to eat later.
The belly is too small and there are too many snacks, so you have to think carefully.
Wan Qing had just made tea when the small silver bells in front of the car rang. Before the two of them could react, the car stopped, the door opened, and Gu Yan was riding on the horse, leaning forward and looking into the carriage.
Li Xiaonan's eyes widened, and she subconsciously reached out to cover the table full of snacks.
Wan Qing was a little slow to react. Before she could react, Gu Yan pointed a riding crop and ordered: "Get down and go to the back."
Wan Qing rolled out of the car and climbed out of the car.
Gu Yan stepped into the car from his horse, lighting the table full of snacks with the whip in his hand, "This is the table where I handle official business!"
Li Xiaonan pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.
"What's so delicious about the sweet and sticky things here?" Gu Yan used a riding crop to push away Li Xiaonan's hand that was still raised above the snacks.
Li Xiaonan looked at the table full of snacks with a frustrated look.
"Pick two things to keep, and move out the rest." Gu Yan whipped the car door twice with a riding crop, and Shi Gun opened the car door.
Li Xiaonan looked back and forth at the table full of snacks and carefully selected two items.
Gu Yan looked at her speechlessly.
The car door closed again, Gu Yan sighed, pointing to the jasper cake and hibiscus cheese still left on the table, "Of those two, which one do you like the most?"
"No, only your family has these two things. Wan Qing said that it is very troublesome to make. It is only made during the Chinese New Year and cannot be eaten at ordinary times." Li Xiaonan pinched a piece of jasper cake and carefully put it into her mouth.
"The kitchen serves snacks as ordered. When has there ever been a time when you just didn't do it if it was too troublesome?"
Li Xiaonan glanced sideways at Gu Yan and brought the plate of jasper cake to Gu Yan, "It's really delicious. It's made from mung bean powder mixed with tea powder. It's fragrant. Try it."
Gu Yan looked at the plate of jasper cake with disgust, hesitated for a moment, pinched a piece and ate it.
"Is it delicious?" Li Xiaonan looked at Gu Yan expectantly.
Gu Yan snorted speciously.
Li Xiaonan suddenly smiled like a flower.
Gu Yan snorted, moved back to sit more comfortably, threw the riding crop aside, and watched Li Xiaonan eat another piece of hibiscus cheese, then took a sip of tea.
Gu Yan looked at the other cup that had been filled with tea. After a moment, he sighed, leaned over and took another cup. He pushed the cup that was filled with tea to the side, picked up the pot and poured himself a cup.
Tea.
"The person who uses ink in your workshop has been found out." Gu Yan took a sip of tea.
"Huh?" Li Xiaonan hurriedly put down the cup, straightened her upper body and looked at Gu Yan.
"There are seven families in total, six of them are children. The other family's surname is Ni, and there are two mother and son. The mother is called Aunt Ni, who is the steward of your workshop, and the son is called Ni Rushi. This year,"
Gu Yan paused for a moment, "It's the New Year, twenty-three. Ni Rushi went to a private school at the age of fourteen. Because his mother was ill and his family was poor, he often couldn't afford to pay for school. His studies were intermittent. He passed the boy's examination last year.
He passed the county examination but failed the government examination, so I asked someone to copy his ink scroll."
baimengshu
"Are you sure it's Ni Rushi?" Li Xiaonan asked.
"Hmm." Gu Yan affirmed and took out a ball of tissue paper from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Li Xiaonan, "I got it from Ni Rushi's house. Wangfu's ink is mixed with Bai Zhiborneo and other spices according to the season. You can buy it outside.
Less than."
Li Xiaonan took it and shouted, "Second sister, has she fallen in love with Ni Rushi?"
Gu Yan was startled, then laughed.
This girl talks to him more and more casually.
"It seems so. It is said that Ni Rushi is tall, straight, handsome, and good-looking." Gu Yan said with a smile.
"This is not something that cannot be said. Why is the second sister silent?" Li Xiaonan frowned.
"I have asked people to inquire carefully about Ni Rushi and her son. Does your eldest sister know about this?" Gu Yan looked at Li Xiaonan's frown.
"If the eldest sister knows, I will definitely be able to tell. Alas, the second aunt is good at everything, but she likes to keep things in her mind." Li Xiaonan sighed. "I like the third aunt the most. She cries when it hurts. I'm tired.
She will yell at anyone who bullies her, and she will fight back anyone who bullies her. She will not wrong herself at all. That’s right!”
Li Xiaonan remembered the important things her eldest sister had told her and looked at Gu Yan with a smile.
"The third sister is pregnant. The eldest sister said that giving birth to a child is a journey through hell, especially for the first child. She said that people like you have a secret method to ensure childbirth? Can you?"
"Yes. It's not really a secret method. It's just a bit more sophisticated. I'll ask someone to teach the Hong family." Gu Yan agreed simply and neatly.
"Just tell me, Third Sister. It's not good to point out that the Hong family is making too much noise." Li Xiaonan quickly explained.
Gu Yan laughed and nodded.
No matter what happens to the people he sends here, the Hong family will not be able to make less noise. No matter how big the news is, the Hong family will definitely be eager to get it.
"I've finished my business, let's talk about yesterday's dinner." Li Xiaonan moved and sat upright.
"Shopkeeper He said that the heads of all the larger overseas silk shops have arrived. The whole night, the people from those shops are all staring at you, trying their best to say a few words to you. It's good.
of."
Gu Yan laughed, "I also think it's better than expected." After a pause, Gu Yan added, "Especially you."
"I didn't do anything. There is a Mr. Liu from the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce. He is very young and good-looking. Do you know this person?" Li Xiaonan looked at Gu Yan and asked.
Gu Yan frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and shook his head. There were too many people, and he had no impression.
"It seems that he did not approach you. This man looks casual and frivolous, but I always feel that he is very unusual. Everyone in the place, except for Mr. He, the shopkeeper, is staring at him.
I'm looking at you, but every time I see him, he's not looking at you. He's looking at the boys and other people. One time he looked up at the roof. It's a bit weird, isn't it?"
Li Xiaonan looked at Gu Yan.
Gu Yan listened attentively and said, "I'll have someone check it out and keep an eye on him for a few days."
"There's nothing else. The waiters at the Customs and Excise Department are very worried." Li Xiaonan picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.
Gu Yan snorted, "They should be worried. How is your business? Have you made any money?"
"Not yet." Li Xiaonan just wanted to sigh when asked by Gu Yan.
Her business took up all the profits from the preserved egg shop, and she also owed the lobby man a lot of money.
"No wonder you are still wearing clothes like this." Gu Yan looked at the thick red muslin cotton-padded jacket on Li Xiaonan.
"These are nice clothes that the lobby aunt made for me. I didn't wear them in the first year of junior high school, so I kept them for yesterday." Li Xiaonan lowered her head and looked at her cotton-padded jacket.
"You have helped me a lot, let me give you some clothes." Gu Yan looked at Li Xiaonan.
Li Xiaonan hurriedly shook her head, "I took the opportunity to do my business. Although I did help you, I didn't do it to help you. Speaking of which, you also helped me. We are helping and benefiting each other. No one needs to thank anyone.
You have to thank me and I thank you."
"You thank me and I'll thank you. Don't be surprised if there are too many people." Gu Yan immediately answered.
"No, no, no!" Li Xiaonan waved her hands wildly, "You still don't need to thank anyone. I can't thank you."
Gu Yan laughed, hesitated for a moment, and then said yes.
"That Ni Rushi, do you want to see it with your own eyes?" Gu Yan asked.
"Now?"
"It's too late today, and it's raining. Let me find out more. If everything is okay, I'll go with you to have a look." Gu Yan said with a smile.
"Okay! I'll go back and check on the second sister to see if I can find out anything." Li Xiaonan's eyes lit up.
"Then let's investigate separately." Gu Yan laughed, paused, and sighed: "I have to go, there are still a lot of people to see and ask."
Li Xiaonan nodded quickly.
"What do you want to eat with these snacks? They are available at any time, but you can't eat too much, so as not to disturb your gastrointestinal tract. Do you hear me?" Gu Yan ordered the snacks on the table and solemnly explained.
Li Xiaonan sighed and nodded.
If she were like him, directing them to eat this or that in the palace kitchen, what would happen?
Forget it, just go to Nodou Lake and get it there. Tell him that he doesn’t understand either!
