Rebirth of Shuangshu

Chapter 69 Gongsun Hu

Several truckloads of goods were sent from the city, and the village head led people to unload the goods at the foot of the mountain, and then brought the boxes up the mountain one by one.The two donkeys that Lin Xiaoxiao bought before have grown up and are very convenient to use. The two donkeys will be sent to the mountain on wheels to transport goods, and they will be finished soon.

Although Lin Xiaoxiao bought the two donkeys, they are actually used by the villagers more.Before the autumn harvest, the donkeys worked a lot to transport the goods.

Wen Shu sent a letter to Lin Xiaoxiao, and it was Sixteen Niang who invited her to the autumn meeting.The venue is Tancheng, and the organizer is Gongsun Shisanlang.

Lin Xiaoxiao put the letter aside, and said to Wen Shu, "Reply to Sixteen Niang for me, and thank her for the invitation, but I'm just a traveler in the mountains, and I'm impatient with the red tape, so I won't go."

Wen Shu seemed to feel a little pity: "Shannv, Sixteen Niang is deeply loved by the head of the state. It is said that the queen and the prince in the palace also like her very much, and they often take her into the palace to play. There are also rumors that after two or three years, she will wait for her." If Liuniang is older, the Duke will make her a concubine."

What does other people's wealth matter to Lin Xiaoxiao?Lin Xiaoxiao didn't get points from the Gongsun family, so she could clearly see the so-called gratitude of these nobles.

Lin Xiaoxiao smiled slightly, then changed the subject and asked Wen Shu: "Are you a guest of the Guozhang's mansion now? Or are you serving Thirteen Lang?"

Wen Shu replied quite proudly: "I am the head of the state."

Lin Xiaoxiao asked again: "Since his family knows that I am a mountain girl from the Little Kunlun Mountains, he also knows that you are from the Hu country. Does the king not mind?"

"My, the patriarch has given me the surname Gongsun." Wen Shu lowered his head, as if a little shameless.

It seems that the abbot still cares.

Lin Xiaoxiao smiled slightly: "Gongsun Shu, or Gongsun Ziwen?"

"Gongsun Hu." Wen Shu said, oh no, Gongsun Hu said.

Gongsun Hu?That Hu country of Gongsun's family fled?It seems that the Gongsun family has not considered Wen Shu as one of their own.

"Then do they know Hu Zigui is also on this mountain?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked again.

Wen Shu's eyes flickered and said: "I don't know, since the young master has no intention of going out of the mountain, I will follow his will."

If he didn't sell his beard, Wen Shu didn't completely lose his conscience.

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded: "Everyone is rich, so you can do it yourself."

The matter of treating the nobles in the capital is over.

Time flies, autumn goes and winter comes.

The medical clinic at the foot of the mountain was closed, and the temporary market next to it was also closed.Lin Xiaoxiao returned to the mountain.

This winter is not as cold as last year, and the first snow fell only one month after winter.

Although the surrounding cities can always hear about the conflicts between the Zheng Guo caravan and the Hua country businessmen, it is too far away from the savages living in the suburbs.The battle between Zheng Guo and Hua Guo that Lin Xiaoxiao was worried about did not happen either.

Hu Zigui led the young man to pour an ice wall outside the fence of the cottage like last year.It's just that this year's ice wall is only one foot high, not as exaggerated as last year.

Lin Xiaoxiao, who was timid and afraid of death, did not raise any objections.She has too many points in her hand, she can send it if necessary.

The villagers did not move to Taoyuan Cave this year, and they all still live in the village.

The winter was too long, so Lin Xiaoxiao organized the children to carve bamboo slips in a charcoal-burning room.Life is endless, learning is endless.

Lin Xiaoxiao sat at the top, looking at the dozen or so children below.

Some of them are already fifteen or sixteen.Under Lin Xiaoxiao's teaching, these children can read and write well.

If they are not savages, with these skills, they can find a good job in the city, such as being a bookkeeper or something.

But they are savages, and they have to pay high city entry tax to enter the city, not to mention even more expensive poll tax to become Chinese.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but think of Gongshugou's family far away in Jicheng.

Before winter, Da Ya and her husband-in-law came to Niu Shou Mountain, first to visit Lin Xiaoxiao, and second to bring some special products.

I heard from Da Ya that wooden bicycles are not very easy to sell nowadays.There are caravans selling donkeys at the border, and more and more people are buying donkeys.After all, donkeys have many uses, and they are better than bicycles for pulling goods.

In addition, Zheng Guo's caravans traveled to and from Jicheng more frequently.Today's Jicheng looks more lively than before, but it is also more chaotic than before.

Business is not as good as it used to be, and Gong Shugou also began to hesitate whether to move to the south, but he is reluctant to part with the family business he has established now.

This is a family matter, so it is inconvenient for Lin Xiaoxiao to say more.

After all, Gongshugou was the best among the group of villagers from Wuzhang Village. After all, he had jumped a class from a savage to a Chinese.In Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes, it's nothing to the people of later generations, but in this era, it is a major event that affects the future generations of the family.

For example, Meiya and Erya usually follow Lin Xiaoxiao.Mei Ya married Wu Yong, and everyone was happy.But Gongshugou would not agree to marry Erya to a villager, his family had already brought word that they would marry Erya into the city in the future.

How do you say, do as the Romans do.Lin Xiaoxiao herself can't accept these ideas, but she will understand and respect other people's ideas.She wouldn't go to Er Ya and talk about free love and other big principles, and it's not because she's out of her mind.

Lin Xiaoxiao was thinking wildly on the podium.

Footsteps were heard outside.

Mei Ya raised the curtain and walked in, leaned into Lin Xiaoxiao's ear and whispered: "Shannv, someone has gone up the mountain."

Lin Xiaoxiao raised her head in a daze, and found that Mei Ya had a serious expression, so she put down the bamboo slips and carving knife in her hand, glanced at the busy children below, and followed Mei Ya out of the room.

As the two walked towards the mountainside, Lin Xiaoxiao asked, "How many people are here?"

"Many, they look like noble people in the city." Mei Ya said.

"Where are they now?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked again.

"I just came up from the bottom of the mountain," Mei Ya said, "Brother Yong was on duty today at the sentry tower. He already has excellent eyesight, so he sent me to look for Shannv when he saw someone coming up the mountain."

Lin Xiaoxiao almost trotted up to the sentry tower, took out the binoculars from the warehouse, and looked down.

There were about a dozen people who came up the mountain, four of them were carrying a soft sedan chair, and a man was lying on the upper half of the soft sedan chair.That man was exactly the Gongsun Shisanlang he had seen.Among the people walking beside him was Wen Shu.

It's from Gongsun's family again.Why are you here again?
Lin Xiaoxiao got off the sentry tower.First let people go to inform Hu Zigui, and then let people go to the village head and village elders.

There was snow on the mountain road, and the sheep cart was inconvenient, so Thirteen Lang asked his servant to carry him up the mountain.

In front of the ice wall, Thirteen Lang got off the sedan chair.He looked at the ten-foot-high ice wall in front of him with a thoughtful expression.

This year's ice wall left wickets.

As soon as the small door opened, the village head led the villagers to welcome Gongsun Shisanlang, only Lin Xiaoxiao was not there.

Wen Shu was still Shisanlang's speaker, and he pulled the village head forward and asked, "Where is the mountain girl?"

The village head hesitated and said, "Shannu is resting. Your honor wants to see Shannu?"

"There is something important."

Wen Shu looked serious, and said to Thirteen Lang: "The mountain girl is resting, see you later, or order the villagers to look for it?"

"Go and call."
