Chapter 242

"That's about the same. I won't go in. If my sister is in a hurry, just go to the old man. There are people in front of me."

"Yes."

"Come to me if you are short of money, just ask, did you run out of money last time?"

Most of Gu Lei's pocket money is for entertainment, and then it is distributed to his younger siblings, but he doesn't spend much.

"I haven't finished spending. The girl is very frugal, and she doesn't like to make clothes and jewelry. She said that it was Miss Li who gave her face, and Miss Lin also gave her fabric clothes. There is no need to be extravagant. The family is struggling, and money is used everywhere. If you have money It’s better than anything else in school.”

The old slave stood there and replied respectfully.

"You don't need to be too frugal. The girl still needs to dress up, so she doesn't have to worry about it. Let my sister eat white fungus and bird's nest. After the ship comes back, I'll have someone deliver it to your yards tomorrow. You can cook it for the girl." Come on, take good care of your body."

"Yes."

This old slave is Wan'er's nurturing mother, who was given by Mrs. Gu back then.

Aunt Gu did not interfere in Gu Wan'er's upbringing, it was all decided by the old lady.

"Take care of my sister, don't worry about it."

"Thank you, Eldest Young Master, for your pity. Don't worry, the girl was raised by me. I will definitely worry about it."

"That's good, you rest, I'm leaving."

"Master, go slowly."

The old slave looked up at the sky and sighed, it's not easy being a man.

After watching my sister, I went back to the house.

"Master, I'm going to take a bath today. In the afternoon, the eldest girl will bring the ointment, and let the slaves watch you soak it up. I'll boil the water."

"Oh, I forgot about it, bring it in."

Gu Lei took off his robe, panting from exhaustion.

"Master, you have worked hard, this is a head for a long time."

The boy felt wronged for his master, how tired he was.

The candle burns at both ends, even a strong man can't stand it.

"It's okay. After all, it's my own business and I'm not busy with other people's. I have nothing to complain about."

The servant took Gu Lei's medicinal bath, and he took a comfortable breath while sitting in the bathtub.

"Just wait for the big girl to come in, and you can take it easy."

"You can't just leave it all to her. You can't tire her out. You still have to do the outside work yourself. If you don't do it yourself, someone will fool you and bully Yu'er."

The more Gu Lei worked, the more he understood.

"That's true, but when the eldest girl comes in, at least you have someone to help you, and you can discuss with each other. On the other side of our girl's family, you can let the young lady help you, and you can talk."

"That's right, Yu'er comes in, you have to take good care of her, don't fool her, and treat her as sincerely as you treat me."

"Don't worry, we are definitely worried, and the servants who should be reminded will never forget."

The boy happily agreed.

Gu Lei drank a bowl of medicinal soup after the medicinal bath. He practiced martial arts to replenish Qi and blood regularly, otherwise he would be in trouble when he got older.

The night was getting dark, Gu Lei lay down tiredly to rest.

I got up early the next morning and had breakfast with my grandpa after morning class.

Not only for eating, but also for accompanying the elderly.

The end of the year is approaching, and there are still many things to be busy.

The work of the workshop should also be done in the beginning of spring. In the beginning of spring, Yu'er will be welcomed in. The banquet and the main courtyard are all done, and the warehouse has also been cleaned up.

Gu Lei was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground. After he finished his work, he went outside and went home, turning around.

Li Yu is also very busy at the other end. The workshop has to check again, and the matter of selling fabrics to the outside world will be done properly. After getting married, there will be less work to take care of her mother's family. It must be arranged in advance.

This time it was Guanshi Liu who gave the best effort, seeing that the cloth dyed by Mrs. Qi was really good-looking, and ordered a lot of goods.

He works in the shop of King Ye and Princess Ye, and he has quite a lot of power under his hands, and he is trusted by the couple.

It started off well, a large amount of goods were sold out, and some of the goods were also sold in the shop on the Jiangnan side, and the ships brought from Wei's house were sent to the Northwest goods, which also counted as raising the workshop. up.

Li Yu hurriedly delivered grain, grass and cotton clothes to the northwest, which had been ordered in advance.

These Northwest generals are all old subordinates of their father and grandfather who have conquered the world for many years. They have old relationships. Before that, the Northwest generals jointly signed a letter to restore the innocence of the Gu and Li families.

People can't be ungrateful, the new emperor's military pay is getting less and less, and the northwest is very difficult.

For the sake of stability in the Northwest, Boss Li discussed with Ye Wang secretly, and first helped in his name.

The cotton clothes, food and grass were all paid for by the Li family, the Gu family and His Royal Highness Yewang, and they were transported by boat.

Especially from the end of the new year to the beginning of spring next year is the hardest time, if there is no gift, it will be a problem for the soldiers to eat next year.

The Night King lost his temper because of this incident, and the new emperor wanted to build a new palace, and the Night King almost fell out of anger.

The silver dug out of the mine is useless. Mr. Li lived in a big meeting and stored up a lot of food in advance for military training. He was afraid that there would be another famine and the people would have to eat.

Unexpectedly, it was used by the soldiers in the northwest first, and the Night King sent it to them with a wave of his hand. The border must be stabilized.

Li Yu made cotton-padded clothes, cotton-padded shoes and charcoal in advance, and a large batch of goods were transported by ship.

Years ago I was busy with this matter before I sent the boat away.

"There shouldn't be any problems on the road, but there can be no trouble. I don't have any money to make up for it."

Li Yu was worried and muttered.

"Don't worry, the elite soldiers I sent will be escorted, and there will be no mistakes."

General Lu and General Zhao personally sent soldiers to escort the food and grass to the northwest, and there were medicinal materials in it, all of which were purchased by Li Yu and the Li family and the Gu family more than half a year in advance.

"That's good, I hope it can help them."

"must be able to."

"Don't worry, we have done everything we can, and we have no regrets."

General Zhao let out a long sigh.

"Then I'm going back, Uncle, I'll go to see the workshop and training."

"Go."

The women's school of Pingshan Academy was also set up. Just after it was completed, masters from aristocratic families came to teach and recruit students for free.

Many workshops also expressed that widowed women are required to work, and everyone is trying to find ways to help refugees.

In recent years, most of the cotton clothes and cotton shoes have been made by women in the workshop. The weaving workshop is in Zhuangzi, and they also do some mending work. There is an embroidery shop at home.

Cotton clothes and cotton shoes are indispensable, and they start to work every spring. Li's family routinely sends some cotton clothes and cotton shoes to the military camps and poor people every year.

Not only for the reputation of the Li family, but also to give back to the people who support them, and do my best.

The workshop was short of manpower, so Li Yu and Gu Lei contacted both sides. Through Guanshi Liu, many female workers were recruited to work so that they could earn some money. Most of them were women and girls, and older women came to wash and sew.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Gu Lei talking to his grandfather.

"Why are you free today?"

"His Royal Highness asked me to see how the arrangement of the things sent to the northwest is going. I went around and saw that you were doing well, so I came back first."
