After the rebirth, the cannon fodder left the plot

Chapter 67
Gu Ling'er regretted it, regretted that she used the wrong method at the beginning, was too conceited and made a mess of a good thing, so she came to Gu Sanni.

She didn't dare to behave like before. She wanted to build a good relationship with Gu Sanni and gradually get close to that Gu Erni. As long as she could fool Gu Erni, wouldn't it be a matter of time before she entered the courtyard?
The only thing she didn't expect was that Gu Sanni was not willing to talk to her, so her plan would not be easy to carry out.

Gu Linger walked slowly towards Gu's house, thinking about what to do next.

After these days of trying to curry favor with her, the Gu family's attitude towards her is much better than when she first came back.

However, she still doesn't like staying in the Gu family. The Gu family has too much work to do, and she doesn't want to do it.But if he didn't do it, he was afraid that the Gu family, who had finally changed their attitude towards her, would have opinions on her again.

It was tiring, especially in this cold and dry season, when her hands were rough and cracked.She wanted to be like Gu Sanni, living a life of being served.

But after thinking about it for a long time, I felt that I couldn't get in touch with people, and everything was useless.

Then she will continue to go to the courtyard. It takes a long time to see people's hearts. Anyway, she has nothing, but she has time, so take her time. She doesn't believe that she can't beat those people.

Because she had already experienced Gu Linger's troubles and had a plan, looking at Gu Linger who came to report every day, Gu Jin was calm and not fluctuating at all.

A few days later, she and Shen Jingcheng packed their bags, went to the county to get a guide, and then drove to Qingzhou Mansion in a carriage.

The temperature in the mountains is much lower than that in Shimu Village. Fortunately, the two of them had already prepared for it. As soon as they felt cold, they immediately put on thicker clothes, and then wandered around the mountains and plains.

Because it is a place where they want to settle down, and it is possible that they will never move out in the future, the two of them are much stricter on various conditions.

First of all, there must be a water source, so that it is more convenient to drink water. Second, the soil quality must be good, suitable for growing grain.

Under various conditions, there are very few suitable places.

The two wandered around the mountains for more than half a month, and finally found a good place.

This is a place surrounded by many mountains of different heights. At the foot of the mountain there is a flat land with a radius of about ten miles. A small river flows through the middle of this land. The flat land is full of The lush weeds and thick wild vegetables look good on the soil.

To the north of this piece of land, on the side of a not-so-high mountain, there is a flat area with a radius of several miles. On the top of the mountain, there are several streams formed by springs flowing. The only disadvantage is that it is far away from the plain. It is not convenient to go in and out of the mountains.

Gu Jin stood halfway up the mountain, looking at the small river at the foot of the mountain and the land on both sides, his eyes were full of confusion.

It is very good here, but the temperature in the mountains is obviously colder than that in the plains, and she is afraid that she will not be able to stand it in winter.

Seeing that she was struggling, Shen Jingcheng looked around at the surrounding verdant mountains, and said: "No one stipulates that we can only stay in one place. We can buy this mountain as a spare, and then farm and buy property on the plain outside the mountain. Living outside the mountains, in troubled times, we come here to escape from the world and recuperate."

"Then don't we have to spend a lot of money?" Gu Jin looked up at Shen Jingcheng who was looking at the surrounding green hills.

"Isn't money earned for spending?" Shen Jingcheng looked down at her with a smile in his eyes: "How about it, do you want to buy this mountain?"

Gu Jin looked at the land at the foot of the mountain, then at the gurgling stream on the mountain, thought about Shen Jingcheng's analysis very tangled, and finally nodded: "Okay, then buy this mountain, and then we will buy it again. Let's see where the plains beyond the mountains are suitable to settle down."

Shen Jingcheng smiled when he heard the words, carefully recorded this landmark, and walked with Gu Jin to the county in charge of the hill here. He had to buy the hill he was looking at first.

Both of their household registrations are now in Jishui Mansion. If there is no property here, they can't come here to open up wasteland at will. They can only come here to open up wasteland and farm openly if they first set up property here.

When they arrived in Qingshan County, it was already dark, the two reluctantly found an inn to rest for a night, and then went to the county government.

Early the next morning, the head of Qingshan County was very surprised when he heard that someone bought the barren hill.

Their county is very poor. It is said to be a county, but it can't even compare with the towns in other counties. It can't even afford to build a county government. The population of the entire county is slightly larger than that of a prosperous town.

When he followed Shen Jingcheng tortuously for a long time, and finally came to this mountain, he was almost exhausted, and he looked at Shen Jingcheng and Gu Jin with strange eyes.

There must be something wrong with these two people. This place is good, but it is too far away, and it is not convenient to go in and out. Could it be that buying a mountain here is to escape the world and live in seclusion?

But as long as someone buys a mountain, the county will have income. The master took out the fish scale book to find out the location of the mountain and circle it. When he returned to the county government, he immediately issued a land deed for the two of them.

After the land deed was completed, Gu Jin and Shen Jingcheng stayed in this small county for another night. The next day they inquired where there was a mason, and the two rushed to the mason's house. After negotiating the price with the mason, he asked him to find a few more people. to mine stone.

Shen Jingcheng has seen it. The stones on that mountain are still very suitable for building houses. Now that the stones are being mined, there will be enough stones to build houses here and outside the mountain in the spring of next year. When the time comes, we can directly find craftsmen to build houses. up.

Before leaving, Shen Jingcheng asked the boy to stay here to oversee the work, and at the same time left him the half bag of grains he bought and the cotton clothes and quilts he had prepared long ago.

After leaving the mountain, the two found a wilderness with a river passing by and good soil quality in the plain area, and marked it, planning to build a house here next year to open up wasteland.

After running around for nearly a month, when the two returned to Shimu Village, they happened to run into Gu Ling'er who came to the door again.

Gu Jin didn't expect that Gu Ling'er would still come after so many days, and he couldn't help admiring her.

Really, if it was her, she would probably stop coming if she didn't see anyone every day. Not everyone can have such persistence, no wonder she can marry the prince in the future.

In fact, Gu Linger is not as persistent as Gu Jin thought, now that the weather is getting colder and colder, she just comes here every day, and when she sees no one and feels cold, she returns home.

As if Gu Jin didn't see Gu Linger at the door at all, she jumped out of the carriage and walked past her to the yard.

Gu Ling'er hadn't seen Gu Jin for a long time, but when she saw this face with eyebrows somewhat similar to her own, she was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously called out.

"Second sister."

Gu Jin turned her head when she heard the sound, her eyes were clear and cold, as if she didn't know her at all.

Facing Gu Jin with a cold face, Gu Linger suddenly didn't know why she called her just now, opened her mouth several times, tried to smile timidly, and said, "Second Sister, can you call Third for me?" Sister?"

After hearing this, Gu Jin smiled and nodded at her, and went back to the yard without saying anything.

Shen Jingcheng asked Zhou Quan to lead the carriage to the courtyard where the Zhao family lived, and walked in past Gu Linger without seeing it.

Having seen how Shen Jingcheng beat Gu Dajiang with her own eyes, Gu Linger was subconsciously terrified of him.

She knew that this person was really not to be messed with, and now she had just coaxed the Gu family better, so don't be disturbed by this person all of a sudden.

After all, it was her only retreat now.
