The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 90
Third, Bu Yuyan went to the ancient mansion on the day Qingshu left Beijing, Gu Qiang told her the fact that Qingshu had left Beijing, and begged her to keep Qingshu a secret for a few more days, don't say anything.Bu Yuyan was very sad and left crying.The next day, however, a letter was sent to Gu Qiang to hand it over to Qing Shu.

Fourth, one day before Gu Qiang left Beijing, Miss Ge sent someone to Gu Mansion to post a post, inviting Qing Shu to join Xiao Mansion's flower viewing party.At that time, the distant relatives of the son-in-law had already moved into the ancient mansion, and were about to take off the plaque of the ancient mansion and put up the plaque of the Gu mansion.The servant of Gu's mansion responded very well, he only said that the Gu's mansion had moved, and it was not clear where he went, but now this is Gu's mansion.The people in Gefu returned without success.

After reporting, Gu Qiang will rent out the mansion's 600 taels of silver notes, the 3000 taels of silver notes he got from Li Haitang, the 100 taels of silver notes that Qing Shu gave him before leaving Beijing, and the remaining eight taels of 37 Wen Give everything to Qing Shu.

Qingshu put away the 700 taels of silver notes, and pushed the 1000 taels of silver notes to Gu Qiang, "Adding it, the money to buy winter clothes for border soldiers is 4000 taels." Then he pushed back the 37 taels of [-] Wen , "Give it to Mother Su to save it. When you return to your hometown, you should also say a kiss to Yuan Bao's brother."

Gu Qiang didn't take it, "Miss, you have to support more than forty people, not to mention the cost of board and lodging along the way, but you have returned to the general's hometown, bought fields and housed so many people, and needed money everywhere. Autumn will soon be painful, and farming is impossible. With so many people, they can only sit idle and wait for the next spring. Although the work cannot be done, the rice must be eaten. Even if spring begins, the harvest will have to wait Income can only be obtained in season. The days when this bird can’t come in will not be too short, and if you don’t spend the money on hand sparingly, you’ll probably run out of food by then.”

Qing Shu narrowed her eyes with a smile, "Yes, you have told me these things no less than ten times, I know it well. Now, without the uncle who sucked our blood and gnawed our bones, the whole house is united in one mind Work hard, life will always get better and better. Take it and let Mama Su keep it. You have left Yuan Bao's brother alone in your father's hometown and guarded his cemetery, and you owe him a lot. Now that we are going back, not only you Parents must make up for it, and Qingyang and I must also thank him for protecting my father's graveyard for so many years."

Thinking of his son whom he hasn't seen for five years, Gu Qiang can't help expressing his longing for his eldest son.Yes, he couldn't leave the capital. If he wanted to guard the young master and young lady, he could only let the eldest son stay there and guard the general's cemetery and a few acres of Susukida for him.He really owed his eldest son a lot.Now, the lady wants to take them back to the general's hometown, and it is a good thing that their husband and wife can reunite with the eldest son.

Thinking that he hadn't seen his son for five years, Qing Shu's heart ached.If Gu Ye's family looked like a housewife, Gu Qiang would be able to leave the ancient mansion at least once a year, go back to visit his son, and pay homage to his brothers.Now, they are going back to her father's hometown. Gu Qiang and Su's mother can finally reunite with their eldest son, and the family can see each other every day.As far as she knew, Gu Qiang's eldest son was 21 years old this year, and his parents were not around. Naturally, no one would arrange a marriage for him. The prime time of marriage has passed.

Qing Shu calmed down, "Take it well, when we get to the place and settle down, I will discuss with you the monthly money of the people in the house. You should think about it first, and when the time comes, everyone will have some money on hand." , so I can save some private houses, buy some things I like, and be happy."

The quiet Qingyang took his own sky-blue handkerchief, wrapped the eight taels of 37 Wen coins in the handkerchief, and held it to Gu Qiang with both hands, "Uncle housekeeper, put it away, or my sister will be angry."

"Miss Xie, Master Xie." Gu Qiang said, took it slowly, and left.

Not long after, Su's mother came in with red eyes and thanked Qingshu and Qingyang again, which made Qingshu feel very uncomfortable.If it were someone else, taking advantage of the fact that the mistress of the house was not doing anything, she might have put a lot of silver in her purse.But Gu Qiang and Su's mother didn't take any money back, and they devoted themselves to the ancient mansion. How precious is this kind of heart.After returning, everyone settled down, and she decided to let their eldest son marry a caring lady in a good manner.

Thinking of Miss Ge's post inviting her to participate in the Xiao Mansion's Flower Appreciation Party, Qing Shu's back could not help but break out in cold sweat.Fortunately, it was not too late for her to leave.That day, when Ms. Su told about Sun Rouyue pushing her into the water, when Ms. Ge and Ms. Xiao could testify, she expected that Ms. Ge and Ms. Xiao would not let her go, especially Ms. Xiao.The two young ladies clearly witnessed her falling into the water, but instead of calling for rescue immediately, they pretended to leave as if nothing had happened.After that, he let the mother-in-law make up a lie about her slipping and falling into the water.

She didn't say anything about it for a long time, and she was not in a hurry to find out about the Sun Mansion to withdraw her marriage, because she was afraid of the Xiao Mansion and Concubine Xiao behind the Xiao Mansion.She prepared step by step, and discussed with Gu Qiang that if she told the truth, the Xiao Mansion would be silent for a few days before they might trouble her.In the end, she made an agreement with Gu Qiang to leave Beijing on July [-]th, the time was just right, and she would definitely be able to leave safely before the Xiao Mansion made any moves.

The rain was still pattering, after lunch, Gu Qiang didn't rest for a moment, and took Ding Jiabao and Shanzi out.Qing Shu took 50 taels of silver for him to manage, and gave him another tael of broken silver, and told him that if he met a butcher, he would buy some meat and bones, and let everyone eat some meat at night.

Watching Gu Qiang and the others go away in coir raincoats, Qing Shu asked Xiaojuan to bring a bowl of salted beans and went to the West Wing.

Shanzi's daughter-in-law was mending her clothes, when she heard Qing Shu's voice, she hurriedly put down her needle and thread, slapped her clothes a few times, and came out to welcome her.

Qing Shu entered the door with a smile, "Sister-in-law, didn't I bother you to do your work?"

Shanzi's daughter-in-law was somewhat restrained, "No, don't bother."

The two old people sitting on the kang were about to go down to the ground, Qing Shu hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, "Old man, sit down, sit down."

Shanzi's grandparents had white hair, wrinkles on their faces and foreheads, and their backs were a little hunched.They are so old, half because of their age, and half because of the loss of their son, daughter-in-law, and two grandchildren.The clothes on them are all coarse cloth, and they are worn very old, worn out badly, with three or two patches, but they have been washed clean.

Qingshu wanted to sit on the edge of the Kang, but Grandma Shanzi refused to let her go, so she called Xiaocao on the Kang, took a mat sewn with coarse cloth, and put the mat on the edge of the Kang, "Miss, sit, sit here, the farmer's Kang mat It's rough, it's a pity that it ruined the lady's clothes."

Qingshu sat on the cushion arranged by the old man, and said embarrassedly: "I wanted to come in and talk to you, but I didn't expect to make the old man worry about it." Then he waved to the little girl on the kang, "Come here, auntie will give you some salt beans .”

Xiaocao blinked, looked at Qingshu's expression, then at the beans in Xiaojuan's hand, and looked at her mother.

Seeing the little girl's sensible spirit, Xiaojuan hurriedly handed the salted beans to Shanzi's wife, "It's not something valuable, but salted beans made of soybeans, children will definitely love to eat them."
