The farmer has a mall

Chapter 92

These Xihu people had no relatives or reasons in the capital, so Gu Nanyan temporarily placed them and the newly bought servants in the servant's room in the front yard.

There are two rows of bunks in the servant's room, with a table in the middle, a teapot and a basket of steaming white flour steamed buns on the table.

Hou Gu Ashlan touched the thick bedding, and frowned with the brand new clothes on her body.

Seeing him in a daze, Bai Shao smiled and handed him a steamed bun.

"Miss said, we have to wait for a while for dinner, let me get some dry food to pad your stomachs."

Hou Gu Ashlan didn't reach out to take it, he looked at Bai Shao with a complicated expression, his lips moved.

"What does Miss want us to do?"

They Xihu people have always been disliked.

When I was in the Northwest before, I also saw the same family who were sold to wealthy merchants.

They wear shabby clothes all day long and are scolded and beaten by their masters like playthings in shackles.

When the host family is happy, they will give a few copper coins or leftovers as rewards.

If they were not happy, they would only be beaten severely.

Therefore, Hou Gu Ashlan felt that there must be a purpose for Gu Nanyan to treat them so well.

Hou Gu Ashlan looked at the others.

Several of them belong to the same ethnic group. Since most of them are old people and children, their strength is relatively weak, and they are often bullied by other clans, who rob them of all their food.

So they discussed it together and came to Jianan Kingdom together.

At first they wanted to find a family at the border, who could drag the rations and monthly silver they had saved back to the tribe in time.

Unexpectedly, he came to the capital instead.

Seeing one of his companions crouching in the corner with a steamed bun in his hand and wolfing it down, Hou Gu Ashlan felt sour.

Bai Shao looked at him with a smile, and stuffed the steamed bun into his hand.

"Brother Hou Gu, don't worry, Miss is a good person."

At first, when she first came to Gu Nanyan's side, she was also trembling all day long, for fear that she would be sold out again if she did something wrong.

But after a long time, she realized that the lady is actually not very talkative, and she likes to do everything by herself, so she is very good at serving.

Hou Gu Ashlan was noncommittal about Bai Shao's words.

Their deeds of prostitution are in the hands of others, and their lives are not their own, even if they are killed, no one will care.

He originally thought that Gu Nanyan would meet them soon, so he waited anxiously all afternoon.

Unexpectedly, Bai Zhi came to tell them to take a rest for two days and recover their health before going to see the young lady.

Ashlan lay on the warm quilt and had the most comfortable and most uneasy sleep these days.

Early the next morning, Gu Nanyan was dragged out of the bed by Mrs. Liu.

Gu Nanyan, who was sleepy, only remembered that today is the day to go to the General's Mansion after being reminded by Liu Shi.

Gu Yao sent someone to deliver a box of dresses yesterday, saying that they were ready-made clothes bought in an embroidery workshop, and asked her to make do with it first.

When I got to the mansion, I asked the embroiderer to come and measure the size for her and make a few more sets.

Those skirts are very cumbersome, and it is very inconvenient to move.

Gu Nanyan only tried it, and then put on the previous blue cloth under Liu's disapproving eyes.

Gu Yao came over after breakfast, and with him was a tall man in his 30s.

This person was Gu Shen, the moment he saw Gu Nanyan, his eyes turned red.

Gu Yao said cheerfully: "Your father heard that you were going back today, and he got up before dawn, and said he would come to pick you up."

Gu Nanyan nodded, and looked at Gu Shen.

It has to be said that the Gu family is worthy of being the family of generals. Gu Shen, like Gu Yao, is tall and thick, like a hill.

Even Gu Yunze, although he is a scholar, is about 1.8 meters tall.

I just don't know why she is such an outlier.

Seeing his daughter's indifferent expression, Gu Shen's mouth twitched: "Sister Nan..."

He left Beijing with his father three years ago, and never thought that his precious daughter would disappear.

He ran all over the towns near the capital these years but couldn't find her.

He thought that his daughter had an accident, or was sold to a remote place.

So he blamed himself all day long, blaming himself for being entrusted by his wife.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yao sent someone to bring back news of her daughter.

He wanted to go to Shangshan Village to find her at that time, but the General's Mansion was surrounded by people sent by King Ning.

"It's my father who is sorry for you and made you suffer."

If he hadn't been busy with military affairs and stayed outside for half a year, he wouldn't have found any clues after he came back.

Gu Shen's eyes were getting redder and redder, and finally he started to cry.

Seeing him, a man about 1.8 meters tall, crying with snot and tears running down his nose, Gu Nanyan smacked his lips with toothache.

Seeing that Bai Shao was holding a handkerchief in her hand, she pulled it over and handed it to Gu Shen.

Just wipe it off, it's blowing out the snot bubbles!
Gu Shen was so moved that he picked up the veil and wiped his face, and smiled at Gu Nanyan, then folded the veil cherishingly, and stuffed it into his arms.

Bai Shao: "..."

Miss, that's a rag!
"Okay, okay, people in their 30s are still crying, and they are not afraid of sister Nan's grandma's jokes!"

Gu Yao was quite disgusted and moved away from his son, completely forgetting that when he saw his granddaughter, he was also red-eyed.

Gu Shen then looked over to Mrs. Liu, and felt a little embarrassed when she saw her smiling and looking at him.

He straightened his clothes, solemnly clasped his fists and said, "Sister Nan is thanks to you for taking care of me, this junior is very grateful."

After finishing speaking, he bowed down and gave a deep salute.

Mrs. Liu hurriedly supported him: "It's not possible, my daughter and I depend on each other for life, it's hard to say who will take care of the other, the old lady deserves this gift from the little general."

"Besides, I have long regarded my daughter as my own granddaughter, so the whole family can't say thank you."

"Exactly." Gu Yao agreed.

"The family doesn't speak two languages. If there is any need in the future, just let Nan Jieer go to the General's Mansion to find me. If I'm not here, you can find the second child!"

Mrs. Liu didn't refuse when she heard the words, and nodded cheerfully.

Several people chatted again, seeing that it was getting late, Liu urged Gu Nanyan to go out.

"Grandma won't go. You can talk to your grandmother. If it's too late, it's okay to stay in the general's mansion."

Mrs. Liu heard that Mrs. Gu has been ill since her nannie disappeared, and she can understand her feelings very well.

Naturally, I hope that my granddaughter can spend more time with her.

Gu Nanyan was noncommittal, and only told her mother-in-law to take good care of Mrs. Liu, and then went out.

Gu Yao and Gu Shen rode horses, and Gu Nanyan looked greedy.

However, he had no experience in riding a horse in his previous and present lives, so he fell off a big horse and made a fool of himself, and got into the carriage honestly.

The General's Mansion is not far from Sheng Wang's Mansion, also at the foot of the imperial city, it is a back-shaped five-entry courtyard.

Above the vermilion lacquered gate, there is a plaque of the General Zhenbei's Mansion, and two stone lions are placed at the gate.

At this moment, the door opened, and when Gu Yao came back, Gu Qing hurried forward with his two sons.

"Father is back, did you bring back Sister Nan?" There was a sense of concern in the words.

Gu Yao hummed majestically, looked in the direction of the carriage, and before he could speak, the curtain was lifted.

Just as Bai Zhi wanted to step forward to help her, Gu Nanyan jumped down.

Bai Zhi helped her feel lonely, she withdrew her hand calmly, lowered her head and followed behind Gu Nanyan.

Gu Yunze couldn't help laughing when he saw that his sister was still so lively.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, my little sister is as lively as ever."

Although Gu Yunze was tall and handsome, he looked at Gu Nanyan with a smile at this time, with a gentle expression.

Gu Nanyan rolled her eyes at him, this guy was beating around the bush, didn't he just want to say that she doesn't look like a girl?
who cares!
Gu Nanyan snorted, then turned to look at the man standing beside him.

This person has similar facial features to Gu Yunze, but his face is very similar to Gu Yao. Gu Nanyan remembers that he is Gu Qing's eldest son, Gu Yunge.

Sure enough, Gu Yunge smiled at her and said: "Miss Nan, don't listen to your second brother's nonsense, girls should be more lively, maybe they want to be like the one in the west courtyard..."

Before Gu Yunge finished speaking, Gu Yunze pulled off his sleeves, and he suddenly remembered that his grandfather was still here.

Gu Yao acted as if he didn't hear it, and still smiled.

Lu Qing looked at the niece in front of him. His son said before that Sister Nan has changed a lot now, and he thought his son was exaggerating.

Seeing her now, it really seemed like a different person.

He was relieved: "It's good to be back, your aunt has been talking about it since the morning, and she is making your favorite tamales in the kitchen right now."

He reached out to pat Gu Nanyan on the shoulder, but found that Gu Nanyan was too short for him to reach.

So he paused, and put his hand on the top of her head and rubbed it.

Gu Nanyan: "..."

Lao Tzu's heart is cold at the moment.
