The next day, when Gu Ci woke up with his eyes open, it was already high in the sun.She hadn't slept so peacefully for a long time, and when she woke up, she wasn't as clear-headed as before, on the contrary, she was a bit lazy with both body and mind satisfied.Raising her hand to cover the bright light coming in through the crack of the door, taking advantage of this magical effort, she thought about what happened last night, and couldn't help smacking her lips in satisfaction—— Well, my little daughter-in-law really It's too sweet.

As the consciousness gradually returned to the cage, the crowing of the hens "clucking" in the yard, mixed with the unique noise during the day, slowly entered the ears.Gu Ci got used to the light, turned his head to touch the position inside, it seems that the little girl has been up for a long time.

The three siblings were not at home for ten days. The tables, chairs, benches, and cabinets were covered with dust, and there was no place to sit. The little girl who aspired to be a good wife and mother of the Gu family saw her sister was sleeping deeply, so she touched her when she woke up. Get up and get busy.

She has always been a pampered master, and she has to move every step when carrying half a bucket of water. Gu Ci came out of the back room, saw her useless appearance, walked over quickly, and took the bucket in her hand, "It seems Is it because I didn't work hard enough yesterday, so Xiao Jiaojiao didn't have much energy to use up early in the morning?"

Mammy is right, this man looks like a gentleman on the surface, but once he sleeps with you, he is no different from a beast in the forest, rude and vulgar, and most importantly, he will become shameless no shame.

The little girl waved her small fist and hit the shameless someone on the chest, "Sister, I don't even look at the time and occasion, you are shameless, and I will be shameless."

As soon as Gu Ci grasped her soft fist, he lowered his head and kissed her, "Your little fist is not as strong as your little teeth. If you have the strength to hit me, you might as well save your strength to bite me..."

This was really a punch on the cotton, the little girl was so angry, annoyed and ashamed, her face was flushed red but she couldn't hold back a strong counterattack, and finally threw the rag in the other hand into the bucket , "I just rubbed a rag on my hand, I haven't washed my hands yet, poison..." After poisoning for a long time, but facing the person in front of me, I couldn't say the word "death", "Poison your mouth, make your mouth bad .”

Gu Ci shrugged indifferently. The little girl is shy and cute, and she is cute when she is angry. She is the cutest when she is both shy and angry. The more she looks like this, the more Gu Ci wants to tease her. Coupled with the further relationship last night, she He opened the door to the new world without a teacher, raised his eyebrows angrily, leaned close to the little girl's ear, and said in a low voice: "Who said last night that my place is dirty, and I'm not allowed to kiss you? Who begged me to kiss again? Look, my mouth is broken today..."

"No, stop talking..." The little girl took a step back in panic, talking as she spoke, and blowing into her ear?Seeing that she was still talking nonsense, she jumped up and covered her mouth again. My elder sister has a thick skin that hides her secrets. Compared with her skin, she must not be able to compare. She was teasing at the door, she guessed that she had softened first.

Forget it, take a step back, she is a good daughter-in-law with a big heart, so don't settle with her, "You...are you hungry, sister-in-law Jing Shu thought you hadn't come back yet, so she just asked Aru to give us a gift. Come for some food."

The little girl changed the subject so graciously, but Gu Ci pouted with some insatiable desire, "Have you eaten yet?"

"I'll wait for you to eat together." The little girl shook her head, "The weather is hot, and the food is put in the food box, so there is no need to heat it up. My sister will wash up first, and I will wipe the rest of the cabinets, and then I can eat .”

It's so sweet.

Gu Ci helped the little girl wipe off the thin sweat on her face, "Go and rest for a while, I'll wipe the rest."

"It's not a heavy job." The little girl was a little dissatisfied. She stayed at Gu Chunxiao's house for a few days, and she didn't miss how Jingshu's sister-in-law was a wife. Compared with the two, her sister really spoiled herself too much. Well, apart from managing the money, the other things Jing Shu's sister-in-law does are all taken care of by her sister.

"You just need to protect your hands." Gu Ci entered the house with a bucket, and instead of washing, he rolled up his sleeves and rubbed the rag, and then started to wipe the place where the little girl didn't finish, and was afraid The little girl felt uncomfortable staying there, "If you can't be idle, go and take out the dirty clothes in sister's bag and soak them in warm water. I don't have time to wash them these days, so they probably smell."

Carrying luggage for the husband who is traveling--it is the daughter-in-law's job.

Knowing that Gu Ci was back, in the evening, Lu Ming sent someone to pick up the three of them to eat at the house. Of course, the meal was just a matter of course, and the main point was to ask Gu Ci about the situation he went out to inquire about this time.

Now that the two are on the same boat, Gu Ci didn't hide his secrets, and told Lu Mingming all the things he had inquired about these days.

The terrain of Yunxia Town is not as good as that in the south of the Yangtze River, and the few acres of land planted by ordinary people in the village are only enough to feed and clothe a family. If the cost is calculated layer by layer, it is really a thankless task.

After understanding the situation of these villages below, Gu Ci did not understand Lu Ming's decision, "If you want to harvest a large amount of grain, wouldn't it be more convenient to go to the south of the Yangtze River?"

"No, no." Lu Ming shook his finger, "When you went out to inquire about the situation in these villages, I had a preliminary estimate of the grain that could be harvested, which was similar to what you investigated. But I still let you Going there in person, one is to let you have a bottom line in your heart, after all, you will be in charge of this matter in the future, and the other is to let you discuss a long-term cooperation with them in advance."

Lu Ming paused for a moment, then glanced out at the little girl who was following the maid to beat peaches in the yard, her expression became colder, "Jiangnan is a land of fish and rice, and the rich households in Duoliangtian have already negotiated long-term cooperation with Dami. If there is a major accident, basically it will not be corrected. To be honest, two-thirds of the supply of my Lujia rice shop comes from Jiangnan. Because Jiangnan is too eye-catching, that person keeps a close eye on Jiangnan. The inspection of merchant ships over there is very strict. Therefore, it is very difficult to hide something from the source of goods over there."

Gu Ci understood what he meant. There are more than a dozen large and small villages under Yunxia Town. After a year, the miscellaneous food collected is definitely not a small amount. "Then when will you transport this batch of food away?" , and where are they going?"

"As soon as the food from your side enters the warehouse, I will send someone to transport it away. As for where to transport it... maybe the capital, maybe Shengle... these are beyond our control. From the merit of the dragon, I only hope to repay the kindness of the late emperor."

Gu Ci looked at Lu Ming. She suspected that the reason why the Lu family ransacked and beheaded in the previous life was that the King of Nan'an knew that the Lu family was helping to support the army privately. Unfortunately, no one else...

Thinking of this, Gu Ci couldn't help but frowned, "Even if you are willing, you should keep something in your hands to save your life if the secret is leaked."

Lu Ming was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, "I didn't expect you to be very cautious. Don't worry about that. Since I have pulled you onto this boat, I will do my best to protect you."

"That's not it..." Gu Ci stopped in the middle of speaking, since Lu Ming misunderstood so much, let him think it over, "After all, I can't let her be a widow."

"If I make her a widow..." Lu Ming thought for a moment, "I see her feelings for you, if I really caused you something wrong, she might not be able to survive. I met Gu at the restaurant earlier. Boss, I casually asked about her condition, Boss Gu said that she misses you so much that she loses weight, I don't really believe it, but looking at it today, she really lost weight..."

He does not mean that.The smile on Gu Ci's face gradually faded away. The little girl will not be a widow. In her previous life, she chose to hang herself because she mistakenly believed that she died in battle...

"What's wrong with you all of a sudden?" Lu Ming said for a long time, but no one spoke to her, only to see her gloomy face, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Huh?" Gu Ci came back to his senses and shook his head. He didn't want to continue the topic, but instead said: "I have some candidates for the grain collection caravan here, do you want to meet?"

"No. The less you have contact with, the more you will have no trace. Besides, I also believe in your vision of selecting people. These will be your own people in the future, so you can handle them yourself."

Gu Ci nodded, and pressed back the words that came to her lips. The first day she went out, she went to Chenjia Village to pick out a few more stable young men, and waited until they had a regulation on grain harvesting. When there is a lack of people, go to Chenjia Village to call for people.

After she went to Chenjia Village, she found out what the disaster of last year had turned the whole village into. The houses were basically buried, and most of the few acres of good fertile land were piled up with high mountains... But even so, except for a few elderly women who were tearful and mournful, the others were still optimistic and positive about transforming their new lives.Gu Ci felt that the people in this village were cute from the bottom of his heart, and he was very grateful that he had thought about it so much.

After the two of them had finished their business, they had nothing to say. Seeing that it was getting dark outside, Lu Ming didn't want them to stay for long.

The little girl was still ordering the maid outside to beat the peaches on the tree. The house that Lu Ming bought was not newly built, but bought from a previous family in this town. The old lady liked to eat peaches. The three peach trees in my house were transplanted from the south of the Yangtze River with great painstaking efforts. The trees are not big, but they bear big fruits and ripen early. They turned red only at the end of May.

Lu Ming didn't care much about these things, and the maids and servants in the mansion didn't dare to pick them without anyone's back, so the three-tree peaches have been hanging up to now.It's not that the little girl is cheap, she fell in love with it as soon as she came, and saw that Lu Ming picked it casually for her, so she didn't have the heart to eat, so she picked up two mouthfuls of rice randomly, and then brought Abao over to hunt peaches.

"Jiaojiao, you haven't picked all the peaches in my yard today, are you planning to go back, aren't you?"

The peaches are big and sweet, and the little girl never stopped eating them. When she saw the two people coming out, she put the peaches she had bitten into Gu Ci's mouth first, "Sister, try it quickly, it's good." have eaten."

Before Lu Ming could get jealous, the little girl picked the biggest one out of the basket, "Brother, you can eat it too, it's delicious."

Lu Ming took her peach, held it in his hand and looked at it, then rubbed it on his clothes, took a bite, nodded, and teased her with his lips curled up: "Sure enough, it's a short-mouthed eater. , this brother's call is the sweetest today."

"That's because today's peaches are sweet." The little girl picked another peach from the basket. The maids had to peel the peaches for her before, but seeing that the two of them ate very crispy ones, they also picked them up. Taozi rubbed on her clothes, and wanted to put it in her mouth.

"How many have you eaten today?" Gu Ci looked at the peach pits on the ground and snatched the peach from her hand, "If you eat too many peaches, you will get angry. If you eat them without washing them, you will get boils. You can't eat them." have eaten."

"What is a boil?" The little girl stood on tiptoe and took a bite of the one Gu Ci ate.

"It's just a red bump on the forehead. If you don't pay attention, it will leave a scar." Lu Ming threatened her, watching the little girl touch his forehead with fear, and swallowed the peach flesh in his mouth. It's not going down, and it's not going to be swallowed.

"So eat less." Gu Ci didn't comfort her, the little girl has no self-control, and she can eat something delicious if she encounters it.

"Then I won't eat it." The little girl slowly swallowed the peach meat in her mouth, touched the untouched peach in Gu Ci's hand, picked it up and put it in the basket, turned around and ordered the maid again Keep hitting the peaches.

"..." Lu Ming glanced at Gu Ci, "Can't you eat more and beat him?"

"Anyway, you said you don't like to eat it." The little girl looked back at him, her little abacus crackling, "Generally, peaches are not ripe until mid-June, and peaches are rare at this time. Eat, call and sell."

Lu Ming said that as a rich man, he didn't understand the thoughts of these poor people at all. He took a big bite of the peach and waved to the young man who was busy in the backyard. Hit it, pack it up and send them back quickly.”

"Wow, I'm so happy to have a brother." The little girl was very happy, and said to those boys who came over with poles and beat them randomly: "Just hit the red ones, keep the unred ones, and satisfy my brother's greed. In addition, you can send some to Sister Wen, or let her know, I will go back to my mother's house and keep everything for myself, and she will definitely not welcome me back to my mother's house after she passes through the door."

Lu Ming: "..."

Four baskets of peaches were picked from three big peach trees. Looking at these big peaches, the little girl seemed to see Yinzi waving to her. Finally, she was more pleasing to her cheap brother, "Brother, I will come to see you often in the future."

Lu Ming was very disgusted with her doggy appearance, "I'll save it if you look at me. If you really want to take your brother to heart, when can you embroider me a sachet handkerchief?"

This is not simple, "I will embroider for you in a few days."

"Okay, okay, go back quickly."

The little girl didn't realize that she was rejected at all, so she waved goodbye to him with a smile, "Don't forget to ask someone to send some peaches to Sister Wen."

After walking a long way, the little girl was still bouncing about how good her cheap brother was. Gu Ci was not jealous, but thought that the little girl was too easy to buy. Before, Lu Ming always had eyes, not eyes, and a nose. It's not about the nose. Today, I picked a few baskets of peaches, and this brother's position in her heart has risen in no time.

Most of the baskets of peaches were crushed, and some of them had broken skins. When the little girl was cleaning these peaches at night, she felt so distressed that she would sigh there when she picked a broken peach.

Seeing her stingy look, Gu Ci wanted to laugh, "Jing Shu's sister-in-law's shop has candied fruit, and I asked her for a recipe for pickling this peach candied fruit, and put the broken skins on the table. Pickled into candied fruit, enough for you to eat until next year's peaches are ripe."

"Really?"

"Really. You go and call Abao out, and you two will send some to Grandpa Yao's family on the opposite side."

The little girl was so generous, she put some big and red ones in a small basket, and then went to call Po.

The intact peaches picked out two and a half baskets, and the next day Gu Ci picked two baskets and went to the town to set up a stall. The remaining half of the baskets were sent to Gu Chunxiao’s house, and the other half was given to Uncle San , let him take it back.

The little girl was right, the rare thing is the most precious, this peach looks juicy, Gu Ci cut a few more to try, although the selling price was a little higher, but it was sold out in less than half a day, which made the little girl happy Hehe counted the money for half a meeting.

As the housekeeper's lady, the little girl's happiest thing is watching her money bag getting bigger and bigger.

With the temperature getting higher and higher day by day, the early season crops in the field are coming to the harvest season, and Gu Ci, who has spent more than half a month leisurely at home, will start to get busy again.

It was the first time to take the lead in doing things, and Gu Ci didn't have a clue, couldn't find a shortcut, so he could only take a few strong men from Chenjia Village to shuttle around the village below to get busy.

When the grain purchased in the early season was put into the warehouse, Gu Ci also peeled off a layer of skin, but the little girl was very distressed, because the goodwill of the four baskets of peaches for her brother was gone, and she gave them every day. When Gu Ci prescribes medicine, he always scolds him.

"Your brother is going back soon. If I knew you were talking about him like this behind my back, I would be so sad." What you gain is what you lose, this bit of suffering is nothing compared to the hardships on the battlefield , Gu Ci also endured this hardship.

"He's torturing you like this, what's the matter if I say a few words?" The little girl stiffened her mouth, but when she thought that her cheap brother was leaving, she felt a little bit reluctant, she pursed her lips, and stopped talking.

"My sister has worked hard for half a month and earned 30 taels. Do you think it is hard?"

Lu Ming's wages to Gu Ci are calculated according to the grain harvested, the more grain harvested, the higher the wages.Most people are waiting to eat the grain harvested in this early season, and they can't harvest much. They will only harvest a lot of grain after the autumn harvest.

"That's suffering." The little girl said with a little confidence, "No matter how important money is, it's not as important as my sister."

Gu Ci smiled, "It won't be like this in the future, it's the first time my sister is doing these jobs so tiring. Once you have experience, it will be easier."

The little girl was still stubborn, and she finally behaved after being pressed and kissed by Gu Ci for a long time.

At the beginning of July, Lu Ming was going back to the capital with someone, and Wen Siyi followed. The little girl insisted that she didn't miss her, but when they left by boat, her eyes turned red all of a sudden.

"Sister Jiaojiao, you must come to the capital to play with me. Then I will take you to eat all the delicacies in the capital." Wen Siyi has a straightforward temper. In the movie, she has an unusual and unpleasant personality, so she has grown up so much, and she only feels that the little girl fits her eyes. This sudden parting, she is really reluctant to part with her, and she doesn't care about her image, standing on the bow of the boat and facing her The little girl waved.

The little girl didn't make a sound until she saw the boat disappear into the sky and turned into a point, then she nodded, "Okay."
