Female supporting roles rely on food to save themselves

Chapter 37
This day, the scorching sun was in the sky, Zhou Dong just came back from the Yamen, before he entered the yard, he heard his mother muttering while cutting pig grass.

"What a loss, what a loss! Why are my eyes so blind?"

Zhou Dong paused, with a wry smile on his face.From that day on when he escorted the third wife of the Gu family back to the village, his mother started to suffer from red eye disease when she saw the cart of things, and walked back and forth to the door of the Gu family every day.

But his mother wants face. When the third lady went to the Yongyi Army, his mother was afraid that Gu Jiafei would entangle her, so she hurriedly revealed to the matchmaker, showing that she didn't want to get married with the Gu family now. Take care of the Gu family now. No matter how excited she was, she would have no face to go to the door.

When Wang Zhixian and Zhou Xianwei came to the door again, his mother felt as distressed as if she had lost a big treasure. Every day she saw him, she would sigh and sigh, making Zhou Dong a little afraid to enter the house now, for fear that his mother would be ashamed if she decided , and then forced him to continue to talk to San Niang.

Zhou Dong shook his head and sighed.

He didn't speak a few words to that third lady, but he could tell that with the temper of the third lady, it was impossible for him to turn back.

Now it's not just his mother who suddenly understands treasures, other villagers look at San Niangzi as if they were looking at a big golden treasure.

In the minds of ordinary people in Gu Zhuang, Gu Xiang, who can earn a lot of money sitting at home, has a much higher status than the men in the family who only know how to farm.

Overnight, everyone in the village envied the Gu family for raising a good girl.

Gu Laoshi and Jiang Shi go out to work every day, and they can talk themselves dry just by dealing with the villagers who smile and say hello along the way.

Although it is a bit hard to do this, the two couples are quite happy, and they are in a good mood every day.

Gu Xiang looked at his parents who were so happy, and felt that the instant noodles and those jars of pickled vegetables he made were worthless.

The weather is cold and cool every day.

Li Sheng hugged his shoulders and leaned against the old tree outside the tent, facing the two sullen eyes that appeared from time to time from the tent, as if he was unconscious.

"I remember you brought back two jars of cucumber sticks? Where is the other jar?"

There was a muffled voice from inside the tent.

Li Sheng looked up and looked at the few lonely leaves on the tree, as if these leaves were some rare treasures.

Zhao Ying: "..."

It's true that the world has changed, and now there are still people under the sun who are openly cheating on Shangguan's things, and their hearts are not old.

"Did you ask when Chef Gu will return to the barracks?"

Li Sheng said, "I don't know."

Although San Niangzi said that she would return in a few days, she did not decide on which day she would return. If something happened at home, it seemed normal to delay for a few days.

As for the medicinal wine that San Niangzi said, I haven't seen anything yet, so I don't need to say more.

Zhao Ying was silent for a while: ""Kaifeng Investigative Handbook"... Did Gu Chu say anything new? Did you copy it back?"

Li Sheng: "I don't know."

Zhao Ying: "...Did I accidentally offend my lord somewhere?"

Li Sheng: "Hehe."

Zhao Ying: "..."

He sent Li Sheng last night to monitor the new unstable elements in the brave army, and then... he forgot about it.

"It's just a trivial matter, why are you so narrow-minded."

Zhao Ying muttered.

When he supervised the river embankment, he almost issued a military order. He worked hard every day for this, and had to deal with countless affairs every day. Isn't it normal for him to be a little negligent?
Li Sheng faintly heard Zhao Ying mumbling, and hooked the corners of his mouth with a half-smile.

Who made him the Duke of the country?

Even if he didn't know that because he ran errands for the Duke, he didn't know that a new trap was added, and he accidentally touched it by mistake, so that he was hanged upside down on a tree. One sentence - 'I don't know, I don't know, get out! ', he can't complain, he has to hang around and wait for dawn.

Next time, Grandpa Guo will ask him to work overtime at night to investigate this and that, and see if he still listens!

Zhao Ying: "Last night, I received a letter from Xiao Di, saying that the imperial court planned to send an imperial envoy to inspect, and it was still that stubborn donkey who came. I was a little annoyed by this. After drinking two glasses of wine, I accidentally fell asleep. I got a little confused and said the wrong thing.”

After speaking so far, Zhao Ying's expression gradually became a little dignified.

Xiao Di's letter doesn't have much important content, but the news from Beijing is not good. Li's thief's intention to form an alliance with Liao is becoming more and more obvious. Chaos everywhere.

Recently, another official made a note, talking about increasing the river channel money, house money, etc., but the imperial court did not agree, and many places have levied a lot of miscellaneous taxes in private. If the imperial court let go, it will be more difficult to control.

Imposing miscellaneous taxes is nothing but drinking poison to quench thirst, and it is completely useless.

He has spent a lot of time and energy on this river, and if he can't finish the project as planned, he will have to hand it over to others.

Zhao Ying's eyes fell on the river map on the table, his eyes were dark, because of this embankment, Yunzhou... died in office, if he let this matter fall by the wayside, how can he have the face to meet his friends after death?

Li Sheng was surprised to see a look of sadness on the face of the always 'cold' Duke, sighed inwardly, and whispered: "I put another jar of cucumber sticks in the cellar."

Zhao Ying's face suddenly returned to calm and indifferent: "Gather up the information you heard last night, and write a note to me. I'll ask for it today."

Li Sheng: "...Yes."

"Go secretly and find out when Chef Gu will return to camp."

"Yes."

"If Chef Gu tells a new detective story, quickly copy it and send it to me."

"……Yes."

Li Sheng gritted his teeth.

Zhao Ying hooked the corners of his lips, and said, "As someone close to me, you have the guts to be angry when you fall into a trap set by yourself?"

Li Sheng: "..."

Many people in the Yongyi Army were secretly looking forward to returning, but Gu Xiang stayed in Guzhuang safely and steadily, without any anxiety.

There are indeed many food spots that can be earned in the military camp, but it is also tiring, physically and mentally exhausting.

To be a person, you must know how to combine work and rest. If the line is too tight, it will easily break. She also needs to learn to be lazy.

Moreover, those boys in the Bravery Army pick up her delicious food at every turn, and refuse to donate well. She thinks that these people should be allowed to eat the normal Huotou camp food in the military camp for a few more days. After she goes back, these people will understand what it means to cherish .

In fact, she only stayed for less than three days. When she asked for leave with Lao Du, she said that she would go home to visit relatives, and she would return after three to five days. Three to five days was an imaginary number.

Gu Xiang now has a surplus of gourmet spots. In addition to the 1000 spare points, he has saved more than 600 points in his hand. The survival crisis has basically been resolved, and he can spend a few days at home without any pressure.

And the parents, grandparents and younger brother at home have given her a lot of face recently, especially the younger brother, every time he feeds him fish balls, he can see the food spots jumping up.

Besides, the annoying thing next door can't stay in the village anymore, and has moved out of the village with his mother in desperation. It is said that he is temporarily settling down in a shack in the western suburbs of the county.

She had a very good time at home.
