After traveling to ancient times, I became a superb shrew

Chapter 256

Gu Qing distributed the gifts prepared in advance to everyone, and after taking a test of the knowledge of Gu Yu and Gu Nuo in the past few months, she walked into the house, went back to her room, and lay down on the bed to rest.

This sleep, I slept until the evening, and the setting sun shone in from the window, giving people a sense of tranquility.

She sat up and walked to the gate of the courtyard, when she heard someone talking in the courtyard ahead.

The family members are all back, Yu An and Yang Pei are talking about the store business, Gu Nuo is studying, Gu Yu is talking and joking with Yang Huai, the maids and women at home are doing their own thing, everything is in order orderly.

In the setting sun, the whole village is busy.

Hundreds of tables were set up in the square, and each table was already filled with meals. The aroma of vegetables and rice spread everywhere, and all the cats and dogs in the village were attracted. Children played with cats and dogs, and women gathered around Talking and laughing, the men smoked and talked about the mountains, everything was so beautiful.

Now is the time when the lotus pond is in full swing, and there are still a group of tourists in the village, who were also stayed by Li Zheng to attend the dinner party. These tourists heard that Princess Rongchang has returned from the capital, and they are naturally eager to stay. It is nice to hear that Princess Rongchang is in the capital. After experiencing something, when the time comes to talk to friends, it can be regarded as having something to talk about.

Gu Qing took his family to the square, and was immediately led by Li Zheng to sit on the main seat.

There are eight people seated in this seat, apart from Gu Qing, Yang Peiyu'an, Li Zheng, Mrs. Gu, shopkeeper Wang and several patriarchs with foreign surnames.

Shopkeeper Wang can sit at this table because he is eloquent and is not afraid of being left alone at any time.

After drinking for three rounds, everyone talked more, and they all wanted to know about the capital.

"This time when I went to the capital, things happened suddenly. I received an imperial decree to enter the capital temporarily." Gu Qing said with a smile, "I opened two shops in the capital. Even the Empress Dowager gave a congratulatory gift..."

She was talking at the main table, and many people gathered around with bowls to listen to her.

Mrs. Gu couldn't help but said: "The emperor bestowed a plaque, what an honor it is?"

"What an honor our princess can afford!" Li Zheng said after drinking two glasses of wine, "Without the princess, would we be able to live a good life today? Can those ministers in the court care about the life and death of ordinary people like us? They only know how to collect taxes! Only we, Mrs. Gu, think about whether we have food, clothes to wear, and a place to live!"

"Auntie Lizheng is right! We Gu Family Villagers don't care about that, anyway, the princess is our god, we will do whatever the princess tells us to do!"

"If you ask me, the Holy Majesty is a wise king, otherwise, how could he have conferred the title of Mrs. Gu. He even promoted both of Mrs. Gu's husbands to official positions. Isn't this just seeing heroes with insight and valuing Mrs. Gu!"

"You can't say that." Gu Qing said, "Both of them were out of the ordinary because of their own abilities."

Aunt Zhao asked gossipingly: "What kind of material do the nobles in the capital wear? Do those wives and young ladies follow behind a dozen servant girls as soon as they go out?"

A group of women nodded immediately: "Yes, yes, yes, I also heard that the rich and noble people in the capital pay special attention to ostentation when traveling."

Gu Qing couldn't laugh or cry: "It's not that exaggerated. I saw the princess traveling with only two maids and two guards! If you go out with a dozen or so, how many people will you have to support?"

The women in the village are like this, they only care about the things they care about, and they are not interested in other political affairs as civilians.

"By the way, princess, tell me quickly, have you seen the emperor, what does the emperor look like..."

Gu Qing nodded: "The Holy Majesty is very beautiful, graceful and luxurious, and mighty and domineering. I have also met the Queen and Queen Mother, and they even gave me a lot of gold and silver treasures."

"Good guy! Madam Gu actually met the emperor!"

"Hey, old Gu's family's ancestral grave is really smoking. Our Gu's village has really good Feng Shui."

"The empress dowager has rewarded gold and silver treasures, so the emperor should have rewarded them with good things too. Please tell us clearly, don't ask a question, just say a word."

Gu Qing had no choice but to put down her chopsticks: "Before I came back, I asked the emperor for a piece of land with a radius of five miles. Now I am building a house, so I have to go to the capital to attract investment in three months' time."

Five miles in radius?

Everyone in the village was shocked.

"With a radius of five miles, it must be as big as our two Gu family villages!"

"Princess, will you come back after you leave?"

Everyone looked up at Gu Qing.

Gu Qing nodded: "Come back, no matter where I go, Gu Family Village will always be my homeland."

From the beginning to the end of the dinner in Gu's Village, various topics revolved around Gu Qing. After the moon rose, the banquet finally had to end.

After everyone helped clean up the mess, they went home.

Because of the delay in the afternoon, after eating, some villagers would go to work in the field, and many torches were lit in the field.

Walking on the road in the village, Gu Qing saw the commercial street that was getting better and better, the neatly organized schools, and the brightly lit small yards. The village was getting better and better.

When I walked to the door of the house, the evening breeze was blowing slowly, and there was a fragrance of lotus flowers.

Gu Qing slapped his forehead.

She remembered that at this time in the previous life, there would be people selling lotus flowers on the street, and occasionally some people would sell a small amount of lotus root tips.

The lotus root is the young lotus root, especially delicious and sweet.

Gu Qing especially likes fried large intestine with lotus root tips.

"Xia Zhu, let's go, let's go to the lotus pond!"

"Princess!" Xia Zhu persuaded: "It's late at night, and the lotus pond can't run away, why don't we come back tomorrow?"

"Fine!"

It's really a hassle to not see in the dark.

But even going back so early, she couldn't fall asleep. She slept a lot in the afternoon!

Hearing the sound of frogs all around, Gu Qing felt that she was hungry again after she had just eaten.

"Xia Zhu! Let's catch frogs!"

Xia Zhu had a chill: "Princess, why should we catch it?"

"Frogs are a good thing. There are several flavors of dry pot frogs. You can also make spicy jumping frogs, charcoal grilled frogs..."

Yu An and Yang Pei had already grasped the point, "Princess, how many do you want to arrest? I'll catch you!"

Yang Pei wasn't angry when Yu An took the lead, he waited for Yu An to catch frogs and asked, "Aside from catching frogs, the princess came to the lotus pond, is there anything else?"

Gu Qing nodded, "I want the tips of lotus root in the silt of the lotus pond. There shouldn't be many of them this season. It's too dark to find them. Maybe tomorrow!"

"It's okay, I'll help you find it!" Yang Pei got out of the lotus pond, Xia Zhu didn't dare to stay where he was, so he had to go into the water together.

Beside the lotus pond is a long path paved with wooden blocks, and a pavilion for resting and enjoying flowers has been built beside the pond.

Go over the pavilion and build a step down to the pond, but you can go down slowly step by step.

Gu Qing squatted by the pond, pointed to the lotus leaf and said, "Look at this leaf, observe which direction its sharp corners are facing, and then feel down along the pole. After touching the soil, continue touching in the direction of the sharp corners. I can feel a thin object, and I can pull it out gently..."
