Gu Chengyu followed the village path to the house at the foot of the mountain.
He had asked Craftsman Sun to knock down the yard and rebuild it two months ago. Gu Chengyu built the yard high with bricks and tiles, about two and a half meters high, and there were many houses in it, which were used for making soap.
Inhabited by people.
He came to the courtyard, pushed the courtyard door, and found that it was locked.
"Dong dong dong!"
"Who is it?" Gu Chengyu knew clearly that it was Ming Yan's voice.
"It's me! Open the door!"
When Ming Yan heard it, wasn't it the young master's voice? After counting the time, it was time for the young master to return from Fucheng. He felt excited and immediately opened the door latch.
"Sir! Is it really you? Are you back?"
Gu Chengyu entered the courtyard and found that facing the courtyard door were soap-making tools. In the courtyard, soap was placed in rows on wooden boards to dry.
"It's time to have dinner now, and the mute grandma is here too! Has the young master eaten yet?" Ming Yan was very happy to see the young master coming. He was very bored staying here all day. He should have had the opportunity to follow him to Fucheng to see more.
Yes, but unexpectedly he was intercepted and confused. He had a bit of a wild temperament and liked to follow Gu Chengyu around.
"Not yet! I'll go back to eat later! How is the workshop during the few days I'm away?"
Gu Chengyu arranged a work and rest schedule for the servants in the workshop, four hours a day, and one day off every six days. They were paid three hundred cash per month, and they could also go out to the village for rest.
It's just that some things should not be spoken nonsense. Gu Chengyu said from the beginning that anyone who speaks nonsense will be beaten to death. Of course, he said this to intimidate him. His family is just a farmer, and he is afraid that these people will not obey discipline.
"There are always a few people in the village who like to hang around outside the yard, but I drive them away!" When the workshop was first built, there were more people in the village hanging around outside the yard. But as time went by, they really couldn't see it.
The situation inside gradually stopped.
"Humph! Are they those people again? Don't worry about them. The courtyard wall is so high. Unless they can fly, they will definitely not be able to get in. I bought a few people in Fucheng and I will transfer one of them to be in charge!"
"Really? Young Master, you don't even know that I've been here all day and I'm almost covered in mushrooms!" Ming Yan breathed a sigh of relief, finally being able to leave here.
"Go and call the mute grandma out!" The mute grandma has always been cooking the food here. Among the people Gu Chengyu brought back this time, there are also several grandmas, who will be transferred to cook when the time comes.
Gu Chengyu always felt that it was a waste to leave the mute grandma here to cook. The mute grandma was literate and should arrange separate errands.
"Why!"
Gu Chengyu and the mute mother-in-law were walking home. The mute mother-in-law followed Gu Chengyu and glanced at Gu Chengyu's back from time to time. She felt a little uneasy, always feeling that the young master seemed to know something.
Gu Chengyu took the mute mother-in-law directly back to the study, "Mute mother-in-law! Did someone poison your throat?"
The mute grandma was stunned for a moment, then nodded. She was also a little flustered in her heart. The young master never asked her about anything, and she didn't know why he suddenly asked her today.
"I know you are literate. You must have been the mother-in-law of a wealthy family or even an official family, right? I think you have good rules, so why not just stay with my second sister and take care of my second sister. You also know that my Gu family is a
It’s a small family, and the girls in the family don’t behave well.”
Despite the fact that the mute grandma is usually not very showy, Gu Chengyu thinks that the mute grandma's rules should be better than those of Liang's mother. With her following the second sister, she should be able to give some advice. As for being unable to speak, he wants to try the rules in space.
Detoxification pill to see if it has any effect. It's just that the detoxification pill can't be given to her yet. He has to observe it for a while.
The niece of the family, Gu Wanhua, plans to transfer Mother Liang to teach her the rules, but now that the family is separated, I don't know if the eldest brother and the others can agree.
The mute mother-in-law was obviously surprised when she heard what Gu Chengyu said. She raised her head and glanced at Gu Chengyu. She had known for a long time that the young man in front of her was not easy to fool, but she didn't expect that he had already figured out the secret of her literacy!
"Some other mother-in-law will come to take over your duties at home. Just take good care of my second sister. Also, there is a young master named Huang. You must be careful not to let him get close to my second sister."
After Gu Chengyu explained, he walked towards the inner courtyard.
In the quiet house of the government office, there was suddenly a crisp sound of porcelain falling to the ground.
"Oh! Madam! Watch your hands carefully!" Before Xi's mother entered the main room, she heard the sound coming from inside.
"Mom! Tell me, why am I sorry for him? He wants to do this to me? I am the legitimate daughter of a dignified minister of etiquette. If my father hadn't fallen in love with him, would I have married him?"
Mrs. Yu had an angry look on her face when she talked about this. She also had a sister who was married to the eldest son of the Cheng'an family and would inherit the title in the future. And what about her? Her father asked him to marry, saying that her natal family
He has great power and can support her, but now? How come her life is like this?
Mother Xi held Yu's hand and murmured in her heart, "Isn't that what you, my wife, liked back then?" But the expression on her face was one of distress. In fact, she really felt sorry for him. Yu was
She watched as she grew up, but when she was in her natal family, Yu was raised to be arrogant and never listened to others' advice.
Alas! Mother Xi sighed, and then advised: "Madam! This man! You have to be coaxed. You are always tough. Why won't he confront you? Women should be soft when they should be soft.
, when it’s time to let go of your body, you have to let it go, so that you don’t suffer a loss.”
In fact, she had advised her on this before, but Mrs. Yu couldn't listen. Her intern mother felt that you had been pretending to be the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Etiquette and refused to let go, which made every man feel unhappy and wanted to save face!
Mrs. Yu wiped the tears on her face with a handkerchief. In fact, after so many years, she also regretted that the master only came to her yard on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, and not at all other times. If she were not the first wife, her parents would still
With a backer, I'm afraid the master won't even come.
However, she suddenly thought of the vixen again and was so angry that her teeth itched.
"What about that bitch? Just let her go like this? As long as I think about the suffering I have suffered all these years, I will be angry. Now it's good, her son is about to take the exam to become an official. If he really wants to pass the exam, that little
Isn’t this bitch going to be an official’s wife in the future? Moreover, the master actually named her as the first choice. Could it be that the master is still thinking about the friendship back then?”
When Yu thought of this, the expression on her face became ferocious.
"Ouch! Madam! You can't say this nonsense. Fraud in the imperial examination is a serious crime that can lead to beheading! Their family is just a farmer. Isn't it easy to punish them?"
"Then what good idea does mom have? That family lives in the countryside and doesn't go out easily. Even if we want to scheme, it won't work!" Yu thought for a while, but couldn't get rid of the bad breath in her heart. She simply couldn't sleep or eat well.
