A misty rain painting the hometown

Gu Qiaoer ran to Xiyi Youyuan, and many older girls on rotation looked at her.

Gu Jin chatted with Ye Kang about growing flowers, Fanggu actually taught the village women, and the female officials and slaves tailored clothes, while Qin Keyun took needles and started embroidery work.

Gu Ji got the Cangzhi secret letter again, and he is writing the details of the military training in August in Zhuyuan, which is called: "Undefeated Army Records".

In November, the plump winter fish in Shiquyin were fished. They were originally fed with all kinds of fruitless and melon flowers. Each big fish weighed two catties. Maowuyou meal to make the earth dragon warm the courtyard.

The ancient courtyard took thirty big fish, twenty catties of mushrooms, two hundred eggs, thirty catties of fresh pork, a pair of pork offal, twenty catties of flour, twenty five catties of rice, twenty yuan of tofu, ten fat chickens and various A total of 25 to 20 catties of vegetables, 41 people, cooked in a hot pot for three days with five stoves.

In the third village, Mr. Wang and Wang Qing also went to Cuiyunxuan in the ancient courtyard for three days.

Winter snow covers the mountains and fields, the world is pure, but there is no ferry on the Taihe River, only cars and wheels are parked between the fields and canals.There are living things in the thatched sheds, vegetable fields, and forests. The major workshops are very busy. In the parking yard, carriages and carts are also being deployed in an orderly manner.

Yan Hong and Zhou Cheng had already arrived outside the gate of the ancient courtyard, and when they looked around, it was both cold and hot.Gu Jili invited people to Zhuyuan.

"It's already the middle of winter, I heard from Zhishu that you have a hot pot here to keep out the cold."

"Magistrate Yan greeted you, and the Guji Shangya made a special trip to cook for you, the official of the parents. Why bother you to brave the wind and snow and descend to the ancient courtyard, just for a hot pot. Please enter the bamboo garden to warm up."

Yan Hong didn't listen to a word, but his eyes were straightened, and he turned his head to ask Zhou Cheng after a while, and concluded.

"This, this...is this the surprise you said?!"

"Hush... Don't let outsiders know about this matter."

Zhou Cheng closed the gate of the courtyard and pushed the man.The two were in front, and Gu Ji fell behind.

"Everyone in this door is my own family, let's go, I'm going to be so hungry."

Yan Hong regained his composure, pulled his cloak, looked back at Gu Ji for a moment, and said.

"Magistrate Hong also often comes to eat?"

"Two or three times a month, not too often."

Gu Ji just smiled and said nothing, but also felt that Zhou Zhishu was very powerful, and he wanted to snatch Bai Liang from him.

"The stove is boiling fruit wine, and three dishes of appetizers have been prepared. The two of you will use it slowly, and Gu Ji will prepare the ingredients."

Hearing that the new magistrate and magistrate were visiting, the rest of the people consciously ate in the big kitchen.

The hot pot was made for lunch, Yan Hong drank a little too much, vomited the depression in his heart, and wanted to plot, married Yan Ruyu and Gu Ji, his younger sister-in-law.The boat crossed twice and three times, and the matter was left alone.It turned out that Yan Hong was married to a poor family and a rich man, no wonder he was depressed and frustrated, greedy and secretive.When going out, Gu Ji sent someone to pack fifty fresh fish, a basket of grapefruit and tangerines, and Fang sent the two of them away.

In front of the gate, Gu Liang appeared behind Gu Ji with Gu Yan.

"Guji, I want to find something to do."

Turning around and looking at his elder brother, Gu Ji thought for a moment before saying.

"You go to Xiaoyao Pavilion and wait first, and I will get you something."

Gu Ji hurried back to Zhuyuan, wanting to get rid of his slave status in the ancient mansion, and this method is the only way to do it.In Xiaoyao Pavilion, Gu Liang is looking at Mei Lin in a daze.Not long after, I saw a person wearing a rabbit fur cover, arching a book, approaching cautiously through the corridor.Among the red and white plum branches, Youying appeared and disappeared, Gu Liang coughed, still looking unnatural.

"Young master, do you also think this Guji is very beautiful?"

Gu Yan lowered his voice.Gu Liang didn't answer him, but took a few steps forward, took the book, read it and frowned.

"This is the military booklet, how do you have these?"

Guji smiled slyly.

"We have more than 3000 war slaves. They are not only hard workers, long-term workers, but also guards. They also have to practice a little or two. Don't wait for the soldiers to turn into civilians when they serve the country. Then it will be worth the gain."

"Gu Liang is not familiar with military affairs."

"That's why Gu Liang should be familiar with Chao Ya. Shangming will have a battle sooner or later. If he gets military merits, he will be freed from slavery. Isn't Gu Liang willing?"

Seeing the same handsome face when they first met, the 24-year-old Gu Liang still hasn't changed much, and the scars that Qingqiu said earlier are gone, no wonder he was later admitted to Jinshi.But the dog emperor has no eyes.

"Let me learn first."

There are still young men with the same name and surname who are similar in appearance and no older than the younger brother. Gu Liang is depressed and weird.Gu Ji went straight out and crossed the Taihe River to see the Dayu Mountain Stone Kiln.

After one year, five super-large stone kilns have been completed, which can accommodate the grain harvest of the three counties. Gu Ji finally let go of his heart, but he did not ask the masons to stop working. The adjustment letter and the new planning of the three hospitals.

Nearly [-] mu of land in the ancient courtyard is harvested in four seasons.On the vertical ridge slope, use a small-mouth hoe to dig small pits to plant beans and corn, which has increased by nearly [-] mu of land. Every two years, at this time, the roots of the original pit have already rotted into fertilizer.Based on this, Daguyuan and Changguyuan continued to buy and sell [-] mu of mountain land along the river and Shenxi respectively, and consolidated them, dug stone kilns on the mountain, built nursing homes, family visit homes, and continued to buy more. War slaves are collected as soon as they are available. When the population is full, the earlier war slaves will be sent back to the north.

Li Hong and Gao Yu each took Zhao Shu, Wang Luo, Yao Yexiao, and Yuan Zhoubai to Changguyuan and Daguyuan at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month to make arrangements with Guji's planting adjustment book and private seal and 30 silver notes.

Gu Ji then went to the county government to buy the five thousand mu of mountain land at the foot of Dayu Mountain extending north-south to the south for land reclamation and the construction of ten nursing homes and five visiting homes for family members.Xu Tiao and Guan Xian are in charge of this matter.

All the affairs of youth were added to him, almost on his shoulders. Gu Liang and Gu Yan also helped to check the accounts, sort out the account books, distribute monthly bills, and New Year's money.

Gong Fan, Zhang Zhixuan, Yuan Fei, Mei Fang, Wei Yu, Gu Wei, Chen Lang, Cao Yu, etc. are in charge of the normal operation of the courtyards, restaurants, and nearly a hundred workshops.

In the county government, Yan Hong is not used to looking at ordinary people.The boat is writing the title deed.The local government office had accepted the entire Dayu Mountain as land for sale a few years ago, and in the first half of the year, the Nan County Government Office erected dozens of boundary markers, as if waiting for Gu Ji to buy the entire Dayu Mountain.

On New Year's Eve, the ancient courtyard is quite lively, and a large number of fireworks are launched into the sky, which is very gorgeous.Gu Ji was dispatched all the way after the bamboo garden was refined.Seeing his elder brother sitting opposite, Gu Ji raised his eyes to look at the person who was in a daze.

"In the second half of the year, Gu Liang will be busy. Nearly a thousand selected war slaves will practice in Dayu Mountain. Among the six instruments, does Gu Liang have any mastery?"

Gu Liang is the only one who is proficient in poetry.Gu Ji didn't make things difficult for him, and handed the three wooden boxes to him.

"There are explanations in it, take it back to Feiquan Pavilion and read it carefully. Now that you are used to it, you will stay here. The 3 taels of banknotes have nothing to do with Qingqiu. I, Gu Ji, have always had a unique vision, and I have never traded at a loss. How about you?" The original masters of Qingqiu can't be too shabby with the purchase of five pavilions. I'm busy."

Gu Liang took the bank note, picked up the three wooden boxes and left the study.In Feiquan Pavilion, there is a fountain in the northeast, which is separated by a large peach tree and rockery. Below it is the bamboo forest road surrounding the pavilion. In the courtyard, the stone tables and stone benches were all covered with a thick layer of snow.

Inside the window, the lights are shining.There is a candle in the hall, Gu Yan is asleep in the east wing, the main wing is connected to the ground, the ground is very warm.In the leftmost room, there are stoves on both sides of the table, and a small furnace pit under the feet. A bamboo frame is placed on four pieces of silver charcoal, and two pieces of rabbit fur are tipped on top of it.There is a small hand stove and incense burner on the table, and the whole study does not have the slightest sense of winter.Gu Liang's body has fully recovered, he is studying military chess at his desk, sometimes he has a pen hanging on the paper, wandering a bit or two on the paper.

The three of them left the bamboo garden, and it became more and more quiet. In the study, Gu Ji was sitting upright, holding a pen in his hand with great strength, and he was adding to the drawing paper.

The white snow returns to light, and the sky is already bright.

The ice was clear, Gu Qiao'er raised her slender hand, and broke a piece into her mouth. The two girls were frightened, afraid that the girl would catch a cold, so they elaborated a few words, but they were a wild lady who would not listen to persuasion, so the two girls let others go .

Gu Ji's ten sets of winter clothes Daqing had already been sent to Zhuyuan, he took two sets of Qiaoer's clothes and sent them to Xianlangyuan, now he took her cold little hand, dragged her into the hall, and put it on the stove to warm up.

"Miss Qiao'er, you should refuse to touch cold things on a severe cold day. These are two sets of winter clothes, try them first?"

Qiaoer stared at Guji for a while, Fang took a set to try on, and the two girls stared straight.

"Miss is so beautiful!"

"It's beautiful!"

Fang Gu and Qin Keyun have already arrived outside the hall.

"Rongdongfang is supposed to be made for the daughter of a noble family, Gu Ji has a heart."

Fang Gu looked at Gu Ji and said that he was not suspicious, but the truth was obvious.Not to mention Gu Jin, even the sons of the prince's family would not be able to give birth to such a child.

"Guji is 20 years old, did you talk about marriage?"

"Busy, I'll be Qiao'er as my own sister. Gu Ji was lonely since he was a child, and he's thinking about adopting brothers and sisters with outstanding appearance and good conduct to enrich the Sixuan, Nanbeishan Ten Courts, and Seven Pavilions. There will always be more people."

"Gu Liang also said that more people will make it more lively. After all, it's getting old, but I think it's better to be quiet."

"The years are quiet, and I won't be able to comprehend this deep state when I am old. Just wait, Gu Ji will come as he goes."

He took half a bag of watermelon seeds and pumpkin seeds to the kitchen to fry.Steamed two peeled old pumpkins, kneaded the noodles, sprinkled sesame seeds, lightly fried a lot of pumpkin cakes with clear oil, put them in large pots, and took them to Xianlangyuan on separate plates.The three drinking tea waited and looked at each other, and Gu Ji appeared with a snack box.

"When I'm idle in winter, these small snacks are the best way to pass the time."

"Take it first, I'll send some to Gu Ye and Gu Liang."

After they left, Qiaoer was the first to eat the pumpkin pie, Qin Keyun ate watermelon seeds, and Fang Mushroom ate pumpkin seeds.When Guji returned, the three of them had already drunk a lot.

"It tastes good, but it is easy to get angry."

"Drink chrysanthemum tea."

Qiaoer replied.Guji smiled.

"You can just drink tea, but you really can't eat too much, the tip of your tongue will hurt. If you are bored in Zhuangzi, you can go to the township market to play, just pay attention. After the Chinese New Year, Guji is very busy and can't take care of you."

"It's better than the Gu Mansion. Gu Ji, you are indebted to Gu Jin's family."

"I don't like to hear this, so I won't mention it again next time. Qiaoer tries on another winter coat with his wife and aunt. I'll be busy first."

Since all the calves have been raised in the grass and wooden sheds, the big cows are only three to four-year-old calves.A few days ago, he heard that a cow gave birth to a calf, so he thought about Qiaoer drinking some milk.After leaving the ancient courtyard, Guji went to see the calving cow.
