Dress up as a farmer's wife from the Wang family and fight for the best with space

Mo San received Xiao Cui's instructions and secretly sent Xiao E back to her hometown.

When he came back, Mo San went to Gu Yunxi to report in person: "Madam, I sent Xiao'e back and explained everything to her parents."

According to Gu Yunxi's instructions, Mo San told Xiao'e's parents that there was not much work to do in the mansion now, and the young lady was considerate of the servants and asked Xiao'e to come back to accompany his parents for a while.

Xiao'e also acquiesced to this statement. The young lady said this to save her face, so that when she returned she would not be despised and hated by her parents.

"I saw that Xiao'e's parents were stunned when they heard what she said, but they were not angry with Xiao'e. Instead, they smiled happily."

Gu Yunxi nodded, that's good.

For the safety of the mansion, this is the only way now. When the drought is over, she will think about how to arrange Xiao'e's place.

A maid like Xiao'e who breaks the rules must not be allowed to stay in the mansion.

Otherwise, other servants will follow suit, and what rules will remain in the entire Lu family?

Xiao'e's incident can be regarded as a lesson for the servants in the mansion, letting them all know that breaking the rules is not allowed.

Xiao'e's matter was over. Mo San thought about it and asked, "Young Madam, do you want to continue to hire people to serve you?"

Before, Xiao'e was in charge of some affairs in the inner courtyard. Now that Xiao'e is not here, all things fall on Xiao Cui.

As the manager of the inner courtyard, Xiao Cui has a lot of things to do. If she takes over Xiao E's affairs, she will be extremely busy.

Gu Yunxi thought about it and said, "No need for now. I will discuss it with my mother-in-law and grandmother first."

Speaking of which, the servants in the mansion, except for the few brought by the He family and the few servants that the He family gave to the Lu family in the beginning, the others were bought by Master He at the dental shop in Beijing.

As for these servants, except Mo San and Xiao Cui, she didn't trust the others very much and didn't want to use them.

Gu Yunxi remembered that there were actually quite a few servants at the He family in the capital city. If the mansion was short of staff, he could discuss it with his grandmother and transfer people from the He family in the capital city.

My grandmother must know all those people well and be able to use them with ease.

Thinking this, Gu Yunxi went to Mrs. He's room.

"Grandma, I have something to talk to you about. Something happened in the mansion today. Xiao'e..."

Gu Yunxi told Mrs. He everything that Xiao'e had done and how he dealt with her.

"Grandmother, there is no one to take care of the affairs in the inner courtyard now, and I don't trust the other maids very much, so I thought of coming to you for advice. Should I sell someone from outside, or what should I do?"

Mrs. He had just finished worshiping Buddha and was very happy to see Gu Yunxi coming to find her.

After listening to what Gu Yunxi said, Madam He frowned slightly and said, "Yunxi, you handled it very well. Such a servant cannot be kept in the mansion."

"I'll have someone transfer two maids from the capital city for you. After all, I'm not so sure about the ones I buy from outside."

Gu Yunxi was delighted when he heard this and immediately thanked him: "In that case, I'll trouble you, grandma."

Madam He smiled and waved her hands: "Now your grandmother and I are both in the capital, and I have also met my eldest brother from my mother's family. I am afraid that I will rarely return to the capital in the future."

"Many maids and servants who have served in the He Mansion for many years, as well as their children, are all in the mansion. I didn't send them away. Now let them come to the capital, they will only be happy."

Those who stay in the provincial capital cannot see their masters. Although they have more freedom, they have completely lost hope and future. If they come to the capital, stay with their masters and behave well, there will be unlimited possibilities in the future.

Gu Yunxi smiled and nodded: "Well, everything is up to grandma to arrange."

Now that my grandmother has given me two maids, there is no need to worry about the inner courtyard of the mansion being too busy.

After coming out of Mrs. He's room, Gu Yunxi summoned all the servants in the mansion and held a general meeting, once again reminding the servants not to tell anyone about anything that happened in the mansion.

Some of the servants already knew about Xiao'e's situation and that she had been sent away. They were very frightened and quickly agreed.

Xiao'e's matter just passed like that.

The next day, a few more people wanted to knock on the Lu family's door and ask for water, but they were immediately caught by the thugs that Gu Yunxi had arranged long ago and threatened severely.

At this point, the people, who had been honest and well-behaved to begin with, no longer dared to cause trouble.

The Lu family returned to peace, and Gu Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief.

When the two maids from the city came and Xiao Cui arranged their work, the mansion became more orderly, and the entire Lu family seemed not to be affected by the drought at all.

Gu Yunxi also received a letter from the head of Xijiang Village, saying that there was still water in the village wells, and they had also dug several large water holes near the medicinal and melon fields to store water.

The honeysuckle has begun to be picked. This year is similar to last year. The village chief invited villagers, most of whom are veterans who picked the honeysuckle last year.

There are only a few of them, and the village chief added more manpower because he was worried that the harvest would be late this year.

Gu Yunxi wrote back, asking the village chief to dry the picked honeysuckle flowers, as someone would come to buy them.

Now, both Mr. Gao and Mr. Jie have said in advance that they want to reserve 2,000 kilograms of honeysuckle each.

Manager Wu of Lianxiang Tower also ordered 1,000 kilograms, which he would keep in the restaurant to make tea for his guests.

These alone have already eliminated 5,000 kilograms, so Gu Yunxi is not worried at all that the honeysuckle cannot be sold.

Ten acres of medicinal fields, according to last year's output, one acre is about two to three hundred kilograms, so the total is two to three thousand kilograms.

Gu Yunxi instructed the village chief that of the first harvest, 800 kilograms should be given to the Gao family, 800 kilograms to the Jie family, and the rest to Manager Wu of Lianxiang Tower. It was estimated that the total would not be less than 800 kilograms.

After writing the letter, she asked Mo San to mail it personally.

The capital city is so dry now. Xijiang Village is south of the capital city and has a more humid climate, but I am afraid it will soon face drought. I just hope the drought will come later so that I can pick more honeysuckle at home.

One crop can earn several hundred taels of silver, but if drought comes, the income may be cut in half.

Gu Yunxi discussed with Lu Jianchuan privately and planned to donate the medicinal field to the village as a sacrificial field when they returned home at the end of the year. All the income from the medicinal field would belong to the villagers.

It seems that if there is a drought, all the honeysuckle in the medicinal field may die, and then by the time I return home, the medicinal field will be abandoned.

If you want to donate the medicinal field to the village, you can only plant honeysuckle again.

Gu Yunxi was a little worried, and waited for Lu Jianchuan to come back and told him about this.

Lu Jianchuan shook his head gently and consoled her: "The weather is not good now. There is nothing we can do. We can only hope that it will rain soon to save the people of Liming."

"Wife, you have done a great job. The price of grain in the capital has increased, but the price of grain in our family has remained the same. Did you know that? I heard that the imperial censor reported this matter to the emperor today, and the emperor even praised me!"

Gu Yunxi was surprised and delighted when she heard this. An imperial censor actually noticed their small Lu family grain shop!!!
