The farmer has a mall

Chapter 41 Gu Yao
Before King Sheng left, he asked shopkeeper Wu to visit the county government office in person.

He handed over the application letter for Gu Nanyan's capture of one thousand enemy soldiers alive to Su Wenfeng, the magistrate of Mingshan County, and asked him to take care of Miss Gu.

Originally, he only admired Gu Nanyan, but as a daughter, she did not give in to a man. Not only did she serve the country, but she also made an exception for King Sheng, who had always been selfish.

He didn't think much about it until his cousin said yesterday that he would go to the Gu's family in Shangshan Village to spend the night.

This morning, I saw the document again and remembered that the girl Gu that King Sheng said also lived in Shangshan Village, and her surname was also Gu.

He asked his subordinates to inquire, only to find out that the Gu's house where his cousin went was Miss Gu's house, and it happened to be a housewarming banquet today.

He was afraid that his out-of-the-ordinary cousin would be disturbed by others and offend King Sheng, so he hurriedly prepared his horse and came here.

The village chief was very excited sitting opposite Su Wenfeng.

He didn't expect to be able to eat at the same table with the county magistrate in his lifetime.

There is also the shopkeeper Wu who delivered the food. I don't know why, but the county magistrate is very polite to him.

The village chief wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling very upset.

Gu Yatou even knows the magistrate of the county, and he even came to her banquet in person, it's really amazing.

Su Wenfeng sat at the head seat and said with a smile: "The yamen is closed today, I just came to visit my brother and friend, you don't need to be cautious."

He looked at shopkeeper Wu. Although he is now the shopkeeper of a restaurant, he has a higher official position than him, but he didn't want to publicize it, so he sat down to start with him.

A table of people was silent, and Gu Nanyan walked in with a jar of wine.

This is the century-old wine she exchanged from the turntable, which is much more mellow than the wine of this era.

All the people here are her patrons, so it is rare for her to be generous.

She opened the altar plug, and a strong aroma of wine overflowed instantly.

Zheng Tiesheng was a wine lover, his eyes lit up when he smelled it, he grabbed the wine jar, sniffed it, poured another bowl and tasted it.

"Good wine!"

Just by smelling it, one can tell that this wine must be more than a hundred years old, and the color of the wine is clear without any impurities, and the taste is as creamy as jade.

Others also smelled it, and the sound of swallowing saliva filled the room for a while.

They are all men, who doesn't like to drink a few sips on weekdays.

Shopkeeper Wu took the lead to grab the wine jar. Zheng Tiesheng was squinting his eyes to savor the aroma of the wine. Seeing his movements, he quickly hugged the wine in his arms and looked at him defensively.

"What are you doing? Girl Gu gave it to the big guy. You still want to take it all by yourself." Shopkeeper Wu couldn't laugh or cry.

Zheng Tiesheng snorted twice: "Whoever owns it counts. Isn't there still a jug on the table, such a good wine is wasted for you to drink."

Shopkeeper Wu is not happy now, what do you mean by giving him a drink to waste?
He followed King Sheng and tasted a lot of good wine!

It's just that Zheng Tiesheng protected him tightly, and he couldn't go up to grab it, so he could only look at Gu Nanyan eagerly.

Also looking at her was Su Wenfeng.

Literati love to drink, and he is no exception, but this is the first time he has seen such a fragrant wine.

Gu Nanyan was speechless, he just ordered white wine, so he needed to fight like this.

She took another jar from the space, and Zheng Tiesheng let go of it with a smile on his face.

Everyone drank until the afternoon, and they were still savoring the aroma of the wine when they left the gate of Gu's house.

Satisfied, Zheng Tiesheng got into the carriage with the two jars of wine he had milled from Gu Nanyan.

Before leaving, I met Li Mi who had just come back from the field. The two chatted for some unknown reason. Li Mi remained refreshed for several days and worked extraordinarily vigorously.

Gu Nanyan was idle for a few days, and the cucumbers could be picked in half a month. She asked Gu Laishhou to lead people to build a few acres of greenhouses, and all of them were filled with water spinach.

Water spinach is a crop with a relatively short growth period. It usually takes one to one and a half months to pick. It is like a weed that sticks into the soil and grows wildly.

What Gu Nanyan took out were improved seeds, which can grow in more than half a month, just enough to be harvested after cucumbers and strawberries.

Seeing that the New Year is coming after the harvest, she was thinking about opening the shop in the town, but shopkeeper Wu brought her unexpected news.

Zhenbei General Gu Yao is here.

It is said that half a month ago, the Weiyang Army suddenly increased its troops by [-]. King Sheng struggled for ten days after asking for help from the capital, but King Ning refused to send troops.

Gu Yao, who was over sixty years old, was wearing a battle armor and stood in the court hall and angrily scolded King Ning for disregarding the injustice of brothers and sisters, ignoring the suffering of the people in the country and society for being unfaithful and unfilial.

Afterwards, he left angrily amid King Ning's angry shout, and personally led the [-] Zhenbei Army to the battlefield overnight.

King Ning fell on his back angrily, but he couldn't stop it.

This is the folk version.

In fact, the fact that Wei Yang's army increased its troops was a lie, Li Yi had long colluded with Gu Yao, and joined him in the name of support, and together they protected Li Mi back to King Qing's side.

Gu Nanyan stared at the token of General Zhenbei in front of him and frowned.

She didn't expect to meet people from the General's Mansion so soon, and he was also Yuan Shen's pro-grandfather.

She has no ill feeling towards Gu Yao.

Even though he didn't treat Yuanshen very well back then, he was just as good as other sisters.

But after all, it is Gu Yao's current daughter-in-law who has a grudge against her, who knows where he will help.

Gu Nanyan scratched her head irritably, anyway, when the time comes, the gods will block and kill the gods and Buddhas.

If Gu Yao dares to stop her, she has no eyesight to cover the sun.

Seeing that her granddaughter was in a bad mood, Mrs. Liu wanted her to go out to relax, so she took him and Gu Laishhou to Liu Cheng's house in Laolongwo.

Liu Cheng lived in the mountain depression, and Ma Dazhuang's ox cart couldn't get in, so they got off at the foot of the mountain.

The mountain road was difficult, and they had to walk for half an hour to arrive.

Gu Laishhou was so tired that he couldn't breathe well.

Seeing my niece holding the shade in her right hand and a big bag in her left hand, with her mother on her back, yet the wind was blowing under her feet as she ran, she suddenly felt that the world was full of malice.

The old dragon's nest is not big, shaped like a bowl, Liu Cheng's house is in the innermost, and there are a few scattered families living around it.

It is said to be a house, but it is actually a house dug out of the mountain, which is a bit like a cave dwelling.

There are several small rooms in the cave, about four or five square meters in size, just enough to fit a bed.

Liu Cheng was surprised to see his sister, and quickly led them into the house.

Looking at the room that hadn't changed, Liu stroked a small bench with a missing leg and felt emotional.

This is where she has lived for ten years.

She still remembers that when she was a child, her father liked to sit on this stool, weaving grasshoppers out of weeds and telling them stories while A Niang was watching them and laughing.

Now that her parents are gone and she is old, this stool can no longer sit on it.

She sighed, and pointed to the bundle in Gu Nanyan's hand.

"Last time you left in a hurry and didn't bring you anything. It just so happens that my sister is very busy these few days. I made clothes for each of you, and there are a few beds that have not been made yet. After two days, let Chengzong Bring it to you."

Hearing this, Liu Cheng hurriedly wanted to wave his hands and say no, but Gu Nanyan had already put the things on the table.

"It's getting cold, and Grandma is worried that you will freeze to death, so you have to wait for a few days to sew it up."

"If you don't accept it, it will not only waste Grandma's heart, but also make her worry about it all day long."

She really didn't understand what the family was thinking. Back then, they said they didn't even let her in because they didn't want to drag her daughter down.

On the surface, it seems that it is for Liu's good, but if a woman in this era does not have the support of her natal family, life will be much more difficult, and she will have nothing to say when she is bullied.

Why did so many people dare to criticize Liu when she moved out of the Gu family?

It's not because she is alone with a child!
If Liu Cheng could visit her more in those few years, those gossips in the village would be able to restrain themselves a lot.

And she could tell that Mrs. Liu cared about this younger brother very much.

Knowing that the three of them couldn't eat enough, he didn't want Liu's money for him, but he didn't sleep well for several days because he was worried.

Did he feel sorry for his sister, or did he intentionally make Mrs. Liu sad?

What kind of brain must be in order to indiscriminately fulfill his parents' entrustment for decades.

Liu Cheng looked at Gu Nanyan's serious face in a daze, feeling a little confused.

Is it wrong that he doesn't want to drag sister down?That's what his parents told him before they died.

He is stupid, but he knows that Gu Nanyan is a capable girl.

Seeing that sister's face was much more haggard than last time, he seemed to understand what Gu Nanyan meant.
