Chapter 85: ally

Aunt Bai was extremely angry.
Recently, the wind has gone smoothly, which really stunned Aunt Bai's mind.
She always thought that she had no choice but to get out of Xie's calculations, and to make Xie's deflated, then her and Gu Jiu's combat effectiveness should be comparable.
She planned this matter, but Gu Jiu didn't even get involved?
how can!
Is Gu Jiu really better than her? It's not on the set.
Aunt Bai frowned, "We and the second girl have the same interests. If this matter is successful, it will not hurt her at all. Why should she refuse?"
Aunt Bai can't figure it out.
Gu Lin said weakly: "Auntie, everyone is busy preparing to go back to the capital recently, the second sister probably doesn't have time."
Aunt Bai looked at Gu Lin.
Gu Lin said again: "Moreover, I don't think the second sister is the kind of person who can control it casually.
The aunt wanted to make the second sister and his wife fight, she must have seen it.
She might not want to be involved with her aunt, so she refused. "
Aunt Bai laughed suddenly.
Gu Lin was curious, "What is my aunt laughing? Did I say something wrong?"
"No. I'm thinking, Lin'er in my family has finally grown up. It's nice to think of so much."
Gu Lin laughed happily, "Auntie, do you think I'm right?"
Aunt Bai smiled, "The bystanders are clear, the authorities are fascinated. I didn't expect Lin'er to see this matter better than I did."
Aunt Bai secretly introspected herself, and she was a bit overwhelmed recently.
She actually underestimated Gu Jiu because she won a round because of her fight against Xie's.
Careless!
The child has not yet been born, and it is uncertain whether it is a son or not. If you commit a careless illness at this time, the consequences are extremely likely to be disastrous.
Aunt Bai caressed her abdomen. She must always remind herself that before the child is born, she must not be careless, let alone get over.
Even if the child is born smoothly, everything is just the beginning.
If the child wants to grow up smoothly, there are many obstacles along the way.
Sure enough, she was a little bit happy.
Aunt Bai quickly woke up and said to Gu Lin: "Let's leave this matter for now, and I will find a way when I return to the capital in the future. In any case, you have to let you learn to be a housekeeper.
In addition, after returning to the capital, you have to seize all opportunities to go out and get to know more famous ladies. "
"I know."
...
Go to the room.
Xie looked at the two girls and said, "Yue'er, you are not young anymore. It's time to make plans for your lifelong events."
Gu Yue was happy and nervous.
She whispered, "Daughter listens to her mother."
Xie nodded with satisfaction, "Your marriage must be decided after returning to the capital. In the past few days, I will think about it for you."
Gu Yue stared at Xie's.
Xie continued: "When you arrive in the capital and go to the Hou Mansion as a guest, you must behave well and try to make a good impression on the old lady of the Hou Mansion."
Gu Yue didn't quite understand, "Please mother's advice."
Xie said: "The old lady of the Hou Mansion's natal family is the Mansion of Zhu Guo, and the wife of the Hou Mansion is also from the Mansion of Zhu Guo.
Zhu Guo Gong's Mansion, after being honored, this is the top wealthy family in the capital.
The princes of the Zhuguo government have a reputation and are said to be all-round talents in civil and military affairs.
If you can be liked by the old lady of the Hou Mansion, you will have the opportunity to interact with the girls in the Zhu Guo Mansion. With contacts, there are opportunities. "
Gu Yue's eyes widened, nervous and excited, and asked cautiously: "Does my mother want to get married with Zhu Guo Gong's Mansion?"
Xie's smiled, nodded and said: "So, Yue'er, you have to be strict with yourself. When you arrive at the Hou Mansion, you must not be willful and leave others with a handle.
As long as you strive, your mother will always find a way to make you get what you want and marry a wealthy family to be your grandmother. "
Gu Yue flushed her cheeks, surprised and delighted, still a little bit expectant.
I don't know how suave the wishful man waiting for her is.
Gu Yue nodded, "Mother, daughter listen to you."
Xie laughed with satisfaction, "It's so good. You have to change your temper. You have to be careful when speaking and doing things outside, remember?"
"Yeah! My daughter will definitely pay attention to measures and will never disappoint her mother."
Gu Yue was so excited. The prince of Zhu Guo Gong's mansion must be very beautiful.
The young lady of the Guogong Mansion, just thinking about it, she was so happy that she was about to laugh.
Gu Shan stared at Gu Yue. Is that the third sister?
If the son of Zhuguo's mansion is really that good, the auntie of the Hou's mansion, wouldn't he have no idea? Don't you want to marry your daughter to the government of Zhu Guo?
Gu Shan thought, the third sister was too happy. If the marriage with Zhu Guogong fails in the end, wouldn't it be a waste of joy?
Xie looked at Gu Shan, "Shan'er, you are getting older every day."
Gu Shan bowed and said, "Please mother's advice."
Xie looked at Gu Shan with complicated eyes.
Xie's preference for Gu Yue, naturally limited to Gu Shan, and left little concern for Gu Shan.
But after all, she is her daughter, she still has to plan for Gu Shan's future.
Xie said: "Shan'er, you are smart since you were young and have your own opinions. You never let me worry about it. But your marriage still depends on the Hou Mansion.
So after arriving at the Hou Mansion, you should also behave well. You two sisters must help and love each other and support each other.
If your sister can marry into Zhuguo's mansion, your benefits will naturally be indispensable. At that time, it will be easier for you to get married when you tell you a kiss. "
Gu Shan lowered her head, feeling a little uncomfortable in her heart.
But she still said: "Daughter listens to her mother and will definitely help and love each other with her sister."
Gu Yue suddenly held Gu Shan's hand, "Fourth sister, we are sisters. As long as I have it, I will never forget you."
Gu Shan nodded, "Thank you Sister Third."
But in Gu Shan's heart, she didn't believe Gu Yue's words.
Others don't understand Gu Yue, but she knows that Gu Yue is not good at sharing with others. On the contrary, Gu Yue likes to eat alone, and wants to monopolize any benefits.
If she can't get something, she won't let others get it.
In short, Gu Yue just couldn't see that others were better than her.
Be strong and selfish.
It's just these words, Gu Shan can only think about it in her heart.
Xie said: "I have ordered the sewing room, hurry up and make some more new clothes for your two sisters. When you get to the Hou Mansion, behave well, don't let me down."
Gu Yue smiled and said, "Mother can rest assured, her daughter will not let you down."
Xie laughed, "Good boy, you have finally made progress in the past few months. I didn't waste my pains."
Gu Yue's face was stiff for a moment, remembering the incident with Xie Xian was discovered, and finally Xie's slap in the face.
But in a blink of an eye, she said with a remorseful expression: "The daughter used to be confused and did something wrong. Thanks to the mother who did not give up on her daughter, but also carefully taught her. The daughter will never make the same mistake again. She will never let her down. ."
Xie's laughed, stretched out his hand, pulled Gu Yue into his arms, put her arms around her, and said distressedly: "I have wronged you these days."
Gu Yue's tears fell and she hurriedly wiped them away, "Daughter is not wronged. Without these experiences, her daughter would not realize her mistakes. She would still be as ignorant as before and embarrass her mother."
"What silly thing to say. As long as you can learn from the past and work hard for your mother, it will not be wasted."
After speaking, Xie wiped Gu Yue's tears, "You kid, how can you cry so much."
Gu Yue looked at Xie's, her eyes worshiped, "Daughter is happy, so she will cry."
Xie smiled and said: "Good boy, my mother knows that you have suffered. I have already had someone give you a set of jewellery, and I can make it next month."
Gu Yue immediately became happy, "Thank you mother. Mother, you are so kind."
Xie said: "I now hope that your four brothers and sisters will have a smooth, peaceful, and peaceful marriage."
"Mother's wish will definitely come true."
Gu Shan sat at the bottom, like an unrelated person, watching Gu Yue approach the Xie family with cold eyes.
Such scenes were staged almost every day in the past.
From the envy and jealousy of Gu Shan at the beginning, to the slightest carelessness now, she has also experienced a period of painful suffering.
The mother's partiality to the third sister has not changed from beginning to end.
Envy and jealousy will only make yourself uncomfortable.
As long as you don't care, you don't have the slightest expectation, you won't be sad.
In order not to make herself sad, Gu Shan deliberately looked down on all this.
If you keep calm and calm down, you really lose sight of all this.
Gu Shan felt that she was really strong now.
It seems to have reached the realm of invulnerability.
After speaking, the two sisters got up and left the room together.
Gu Yue took Gu Shan by the hand, "Sister Si, go sit down with me."
Gu Shan didn't want to go, so she said straightforwardly: "Sister Sister, if you have anything to say, just tell me. If I can help, I will definitely help."
Gu Yue chuckled softly, "Four sisters, when I marry into Zhuguo's government, I will definitely choose a good marriage for you. So, you have to help me."
Gu Shan remained silent, "How can the third sister want me to help you?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. When I get to the capital, I'll talk to you again. In short, you have to help me."
Gu Shan nodded, "I will definitely help you. I can't help but listen to my mother's words."
This is almost the same.
Gu Yue laughed with satisfaction, "Sister Si, you are so kind."
Gu Shan tugged at the corner of her mouth and smiled reluctantly, "We are sisters."
"The fourth sister is right. So, in the future, don't speak for Gu Jiu."
Gu Shan reminded: "Second sister, misfortune comes out of your mouth. Mother also reminds you to be careful in speaking and doing things, and you can't leave anyone with a handle. You have to call Gu Jiu the second sister, regardless of the past and the future.
Otherwise, one day you missed your mouth and the people of the Hou Mansion heard it, and be careful to ruin your good deeds. "
Gu Yue looked impatient, "Okay, I know. From now on, I will call her second sister, it will work."
Gu Shan said, "Sister Sister, don't be impatient. Mother's words about you are reasonable.
The third elder sister will marry a wealthy family in the future and become a young woman, so she can't show her face when she sees someone she doesn't like. Wouldn't it offend everyone? "
Gu Yue stared at Gu Shan, "Are you annoying. Fourth sister, I find that you like to say some great truths in front of me. Do you think it is particularly powerful? Are you addicted?"
Gu Shan was stunned, and then said: "The third sister has misunderstood. I think about you."
"If you really want to think about it for me, just say a few words. I can hardly hear your ramblings. You can do it, just remember to help me. Don't worry about other things."
After speaking, Gu Yue left.
Gu Shan stood there, frowning, her expression unclear.
The maid stepped forward and asked: "Girl, do you want to go back to the room?"
Gu Shan shook her head, "Go to Big Sister."
...
Gu Jiu came to Sikuoyuan to check Gu Yu's injuries.
"Brother, do you feel better?"
Gu Ling grinned, "It's much better."
Gu Jiu shook his head and smiled: "Brother, don't talk big words. It's only a day, and it will get better so quickly. It will take a few days if you don't talk about it before you can have obvious results."
Gu Jiu took the hairpin and poked the injured leg, the pain was still not obvious enough.
A hundred days of injury to the muscles and bones, the treatment is like this, no good medicine can be effective immediately, you have to slowly raise it.
Li Chuan walked in from outside, "Girl, it's coming."
Gu Jiu nodded, and said to Gu Yu: "Brother, I'll meet Da Zhuang, you are healthy."
Gu Ling said, "Sister, I'm very bored. If you have anything to do with Da Zhuang, it's better to just say it in the room."
Gu Jiu smiled, "My brother takes advantage of the time he is recuperating and reads more books. You used to read books, and you always couldn't sit still. Now you spend a lot of time every day, and you can't get out of bed, so why not read books."
After finishing speaking, regardless of Gu Yu's wailing, Gu Jiu left the door.
Da Zhuang bent down and stood in the house, seeing Gu Jiu coming out, hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"The little one has seen a girl."
Gu Jiu smiled, "Don't be so restrained, sit down and talk."
"Thank you girl."
Da Zhuang sat down on the stool.
Gu Jiu asked, "How are things going?"
Da Zhuang looked slightly excited and said: "Return to the girl, Xiaohegou Racecourse has been successfully taken down. This is a small list of accounts. Please check it out."
Gu Jiu took the account and looked through it.
In fact, the fourth brother Gu Yu had already shown her the accounts before.
Because the owner of Xiaohegou Racecourse urgently needs to cash back to his hometown, Gu Yu and Gu Si Ge took the opportunity to lower the price. Reduce the price from the original three thousand taels to one thousand five hundred taels.
Gu Jiu was very satisfied with this result.
Originally, Gu Jiu's budget was to buy the Xiaohegou Racecourse for two thousand taels.
Gu Yu Gu's fourth brother helped her save five hundred taels.
Gu Jiu looked at the accounts and said, "The accounts are detailed and very good. The accounts will be done according to this standard in the future. After I return to Beijing, I will pay the accounts every six months."
"Small obey orders."
Gu Jiu put down the accounts and asked, "How about the alfalfa that I asked you to grow?"
Da Zhuang said: "Returning girl, the alfalfa is growing well. Trying to feed the horses seems to be very popular. As long as the alfalfa is okay, we can grow alfalfa on the horse farm on a large scale in the coming spring."
When Gu Jiu bought the Xiaohegou Racecourse, the big killer he prepared was alfalfa.
Alfalfa is an excellent livestock feed, used for horse raising, can save a lot of money on the feed.
However, Gu Jiu learned that all the private horse farms here, including the Qingping horse farm under the name of Taipu Temple, do not seem to know that alfalfa is a weapon for breeding.
No horse farm grows alfalfa.
Therefore, the money spent on animal husbandry feed by the major horse farms is a large amount of expenditure.
When Gu Jiu went to Tianmen Temple, he found alfalfa near the farm.
When she decided to buy a horse farm, she had arranged for Da Zhuang to buy a little field for planting alfalfa.
Now that the Xiaohegou Racecourse is in hand, you can do a great job.
Gu Jiu asked again: "How is the horse situation?"
Da Zhuang said: "Master Gu Yu took the lead and brought a hundred foals, five mares, and one high-quality stallion from Qingping Racecourse. The payment is kept on account and there is no need to pay cash.
When the horses are delivered to Qingping Racecourse next year, the accounts will be settled. "
According to the requirements of the horse administration, all adult horses in Xiaohegou must be sold to Qingping Racecourse, and no private sale is allowed.
It is precisely because of this regulation that many private horse farms are unable to operate.
Because the price is controlled at Taipu Temple, there is no chance for a private racecourse to set the price on the ground.
The profit of the racecourse has been compressed, and it is a pity that the staple food of the racecourse is unsavory.
Now at Xiaohegou Racecourse, Gu Yu and Gu Sige have joined forces with Master Li at Qingping Racecourse. With the addition of alfalfa as a weapon, the advantage is immediately highlighted.
The mere agreement of Master Li for a hundred horses to be owed without any interest, gave Gu Jiu a great advantage.
This allows Gu Jiu's money to do more things.
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "I have to thank Gu Si Ge."
Da Zhuang also said that Gu Yu helped a lot with the purchase of Xiaohegou Racecourse.
Gu Jiu took out an envelope and handed it to Da Zhuang, "There is five hundred taels in it, which is the cost I left for the racecourse for half a year. If it is not enough, you can ask me again."
"Five hundred taels is enough. The younger one must help the girl to set up the Xiaohegou Racecourse."
Gu Jiu nodded, "How about the wool weaving I said?"
Da Zhuang immediately took out a small roll of cloth, "Please look at the girl, this is my mother's woolen cloth."
Gu Jiu was overjoyed, but he didn't expect the results to come so soon.
Wool cloth, soft and warm, is excellent for keeping out the cold in winter.
Gu Jiu asked, "What did Grandma Gui say?"
Da Zhuang said: "My mother said that wool weaving is not difficult. The difficulty is washing wool and selecting wool. Washing wool requires a lot of water. To select wool requires a lot of people."
Gu Jiu nodded, "So, this wool workshop can only be built outside the city."
Da Zhuang thought about it and said, "Girl, the tree attracts the wind. No one in the northwest has ever done a wool weaving business. Once our workshop is opened, it will definitely attract people's coveting.
It's okay for the master to be an official here, those people are scrupulous and dare not do anything. After the master returned to Beijing, those people had no scruples and could do anything.
Little worry, when the wool workshop has just achieved something, it will be picked. "
Gu Jiu nodded secretly, Da Zhuang was right.
The wool workshop currently looks unremarkable.
But once it grows bigger and there are amazing profits, all the northwestern bulls, ghosts and snakes will come out to pick fruit.
By then, the Gu Jiu people will not be in the northwest, and they will be beyond reach.
In case something happened, she would not have time to react.
Therefore, she must find an ally.
A powerful ally that everyone fears.
A name suddenly appeared in Gu Jiu's mind.
