The farmer has a mall

Chapter 72 Departure
The medicines in the town and the military camp are still enough for the time being, Gu Nanyan stayed at home for a few days, and then welcomed Gu Chengzong who hadn't seen him for a long time.

He went to see Mrs. Liu first, and then went to the main room with Gu Nanyan.

Compared with before, Gu Chengzong was much more energetic. He was wearing a blue robe. Although the material was average, it was well-groomed, and his brows were raised in high spirits.

Gu Chengzong still looked gentle, looked at Gu Nanyan with a smile on his face for a moment, and then nodded.

"Sister Nanyan looks good, and her face is more rounded."

Gu Nanyan squinted at him.

Didn't he just want to say that she is fat? This fellow has been obliquely talking about it when he went out.

With the amount of food she gnawed on a basket of steamed buns, it's not bad that she didn't turn into a ball.

Thinking of this, Gu Nanyan felt a little sad.

She has such a big appetite, how much dry food does she have to bring on the way back to Beijing.

Seeing her looking at him from the corner of her eyes, Gu Chengzong didn't care, and took out a few pieces of paper from his arms with a smile.

Gu Nanyan's eyes lit up.

She smelled of penny money!

"This time I went north, my brother was lucky enough to meet a traveling merchant. He is from Anyang and was very interested in our greenhouse fruits, so he came here with me."

After finishing speaking, he handed over the bank note and deed to Gu Nanyan.

"The man paid a deposit of 2000 taels, and I have asked my father to organize workers to pick them, and I will send them to the town for him early in the morning."

Originally, he was worried that the heavy snow would affect the crop yield, but Gu Nanyan asked people to clear the snow on the greenhouse every day, and the yield was not affected in the slightest.

Gu Nanyan nodded, took the deed and looked at it.

It indicated that watermelon and strawberry cost [-] catties each, and the cheapest cucumber cost [-] catties.

"Although we are not far from Anyang Country, the snowy road is difficult, so the traveling merchant doesn't want much this time, and I gave it to him at the price of the fruit color and heavenly fragrance."

Gu Chengzong's always gentle expression rarely showed a trace of complacency.

"The man said that if he took these rare fruits back, they might be gone in two days. When the batch is sold out, he will bring back a whole truckload of each of them next time he comes over."

Gu Nanyan was surprised when he heard the words, how long has he been out, and he came back with a big deal?
And it looks like a long-term cooperation.

It really is a talent.

Gu Nanyan was very happy in her heart, this money basket is safe!

Gu Chengzong only sat for a while and then hurried away.

Mrs. Liu was chatting with Aunt Huang in the yard when she saw Gu Nanyan smiling and waving at her.

"I was talking about you with your aunt. Our daughter is famous."

Liu's face turned into a flower with a smile, Gu Nanyan was a little baffled by the words.

Aunt Huang also smiled and said: "Isn't that right? It's spread all over the village now. Nanmaid gave medicine for free in the town, which saved a lot of people. I heard that the county magistrate even specially published a list to praise you."

Liu said cheerfully, "It's not as exaggerated as you said."

Of course her granddaughter can be anywhere, but she can't boast in front of outsiders.

"I'm not exaggerating." Aunt Huang said.

"In the village where my natal family lived, there was a man who was burnt out and couldn't get better after taking several doses of medicine. His son was in a hurry. When he heard about the medicine in the town, he carried his father to the gate of the yamen and poured it for two hours. Who knows if you put the bowl down, you will wake up in just an hour."

"Now people in that village say that our Nanmaid is a god from the sky who came down to save the common people."

Aunt Huang narrowed her eyes with a smile. She already knew that he was a good boy.

Gu Nanyan quietly rolled her eyes when she heard the words.

It's no use posting a list of praise, it's more practical for her.

It's only been a few days of work, and she spends her money like running water. She is so sweet and fragrant that she has already spent all her money, and she spends more than 1000 taels to buy medicine.

Now, except for the more than 2 taels of money collected from Fumanlou in the bank, she has lost a tael of silver!

Fortunately, Gu Chengzong gave her 2000 taels, otherwise she would have to go to the town to withdraw the money.

Gu Nanyan is a little bald, so it's not an option to go on like this. Fumanlou's business has not been good recently, and she still needs to open for business as soon as possible.

Gu Nanyan thought of the deeds given to her by shopkeeper Wu. She handed these people over to Cui Yao early in the morning, and she wondered if he had made arrangements for them.

Maybe Cui Yao didn't talk about it, but Gu Nanyan just thought of him when he saw him staggeringly follow Li Yi into the courtyard gate.

Cui Yao was much more honest than usual, with his head shrunk like a quail.

"It just so happened that I was going to the county government office to do some business. Nephew Cui Xian said he wanted to come to see you, so I came here together."

Gu Nanyan: "..."

Speaking of which, although the two are about the same age, Aunt Cui is Cui Yao's biological aunt, so there is nothing wrong with Li Yi calling him "Nephew".

It's just that Cui Yao seems a little afraid of him.

Li Yi lifted the hem of his shirt and sat down, pouring himself a cup of tea.

"The snow on the road has melted a lot now. I have discussed with General Gu and decided to leave in two days. I wonder if Miss Gu has packed everything here?"

Gu Nanyan nodded: "I don't have anything to bring, I just packed a few changes of clothes and food on the road."

"That's good. If there is anything you need to buy, Miss Gu can just tell me, and I'll send someone to buy it." Li Yi said with the corners of his lips curled up.

After saying that, he looked at Cui Yao, who was sitting on a stool beside him, with a half-smile.

"Nephew Cui Xian is here because he has business to discuss, do you need me to avoid it for a while?"

Nephew Cui Xian: "..."

Cui Yao laughed dryly: "My lord is joking."

Even if you need him, you dare not say it!

He turned his head stiffly, looked at Gu Nanyan and said, "There is a grocery store right across from Guose Tianxiang. The boss has an urgent need to go back to his hometown, so he wants to sell the store. I think the price is quite suitable, why don't we sell it?" .”

"Didn't you say before that you will open a short-distance bodyguard agency in the next year? The size of the shop is just right. If you think it is feasible, I will buy it today."

Gu Nanyan thought for a moment, although she didn't have much money in her hand, it would not cost a few hundred taels to set up a shop, plus hiring people and subsequent turnover, 2000 taels would definitely not be needed.

"Sure, it's fine as long as it suits you, but I don't have much money on me. I'll give you the bank's ticket stubs later, and you can go and get some out."

Cui Yao shook his head quickly when he heard the words: "There is no need for the ticket stub, I still have money on me, put it on first, and wait for you to take it out before returning it to me."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Li Yi quietly from the corner of his eye, seeing Li Yi's teachable expression, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

I don't know why, King Sheng kept chatting with him about the defense of men and women on the way here.

He also said that Gu Nanyan has reached the age of marriage, he should avoid suspicion, so as not to ruin the reputation of other girls.

Maybe it was his dandyism that made him feel that King Sheng was not easy to mess with. He was afraid of this "uncle" since he was a child, and he didn't dare to say much when he saw him.

Gu Nanyan didn't notice the weird atmosphere between the two, but felt that Cui Yao was surprisingly calm today.

"It's just two days before we have to leave, isn't it too late?"

Among other things, it takes two days according to the rules to go to the Yamen to register and transfer.

"I've thought about it, I still won't go on the road with you, and I'll return to Beijing after the affairs here are settled."

The [-] troops will not be too fast, and he will arrive in the capital within a few days slower than Gu Nanyan.

"Let's talk about the few people you handed over to me, and they will be handed over later."

After Cui Yao finished his business, he wanted to gossip with her about the Qianjia Rice Shop.

Master Qian has been having a hard time these few days. Those who were squeezed out by them lost their business, and so much grain was kept in the granary and could not be sold.

Seeing Li Yi's expressionless face, Cui Yao swallowed, and sat there obediently without speaking.

Forget it, let's talk to her after returning to Beijing.

Li Yi glanced at him with a half-smile, told Gu Nanyan to bring more warm clothes, and left with him.

He is going back to Beijing soon, and he still has some things to deal with.

Gu Nanyan watched him leave inexplicably.

This person came here just to tell her to bring more clothes?

Gu Nanyan scratched her head, and went back to the backyard to tell Mrs. Liu about leaving in two days. After hearing this, Mrs. Liu was busy again.

Soon it was time to leave, Gu Yao deliberately asked his men to drive two carriages over, and Gu Nanyan loaded all the salutes into the cart behind.

Although there are not many things, it is also loaded with a whole car.

The driver was the thirteen or fourteen-year-old soldier in the critically ill area.

When he saw Gu Nanyan, his face turned red.

"If Miss Gu has any orders, just tell me. My name is Xu Shun."

Gu Nanyan nodded, Li Mi and Aunt Cui were taken away by Li Yi's people last night, presumably there were other arrangements.

Because he was leaving in a hurry, Li Yi had told in advance not to let too many people know, so the only one who came to see him off was Aunt Huang next door.

"Old sister, do you remember to come back from time to time, I always feel empty after you leave."

Aunt Huang's eyes were red. She had been a neighbor for several years. She and Mrs. Liu often visited each other, and the relationship between the two was like relatives.

Mrs. Liu was also very reluctant, she turned her head to look at the house behind her, and handed over a bunch of keys to Mrs. Huang.

"I'm afraid my youngest son doesn't know that I'm leaving today, so you help me hand him the key, and tell him that my daughter and I settle down in the capital before sending him a letter."

The two talked for a long time, and Gu Nanyan saw that it was getting late, and if he delayed, he might not be able to catch up with the time for the army to pull out the camp.

Then he said goodbye to Aunt Huang, and pulled the reluctant Liu into the car.

The interior of the carriage was very comfortable, with thick cotton pads, a low table in the middle, and a set of tea sets on the table.

The space is also large enough for two people to lie flat.

Gu Nanyan was bumpy in the car for a whole day, but she didn't feel tired at all.

At night, when the army set up camp, Gu Nanyan and Liu Shi slept in the carriage.

It takes half a month to travel from Mingshan County to the capital. Gu Nanyan ate boiled radish and cabbage with the soldiers every day. His face turned green from eating, which made Liu feel very distressed.

It's just that even Li Yi and Gu Yao eat the same pot of food as the soldiers, so she can't say much.

Gu Nanyan could bear it, but he ate too much, and Xu Shun was shocked when he saw it for the first time.

Afterwards, I got used to it and felt normal.

I heard that the General was able to eat quite a lot when he was young, and Miss Gu, as his granddaughter, naturally eats a lot.

Li Yi would come to see Gu Nanyan every day, and sometimes he would bring her some warm cakes or meat such as roast chicken, but he himself didn't eat a single bite.

Although Gu Nanyan doesn't know where these things come from, it's a good thing to have something delicious.

Although the amount was not much, she still shared every meal with Liu Shi and Xu Shun.

Half a month later, the army finally arrived twenty miles away from the capital.

The Zhenbei Army was stationed in place, and Gu Yaoming only brought 1 people with him to escort the envoys of the Anyang Kingdom into the city.

Gu Nanyan looked at the tall city wall with a serious expression.

　It will be released tomorrow, and the battlefield has been moved to the capital. I don’t know how many treasures will stay. The author is very grateful for everyone’s support all the time, so this chapter will be more updated, and I hope to see those familiar figures in the future.

　　I love you (°3°)
