The biography of Gu Qi, a poor girl

Yes, business people are good.

You don't have to lose yourself either.Gu Qi nodded and thanked: "Thank you, Young Master, for taking care of me. My father is still waiting for me to go back, so I won't stay."

"Azhi, go and fetch the food that Miss Gu asked for." Zhou Li did not hold back this time, and called his entourage to instruct:

"Wait, take a small bag and let Miss Gu take it back, and help Miss Gu to send the rest to the carriage."

......

Seeing that Gu Qi came back with a small bag of pure white rice, Gu Danian's eyes straightened: "It's actually ground and high-quality white rice, girl, this thing is expensive, how did you get it."

"I went into the mountains this morning to hunt for some valuables and exchanged them with the Zhou family." Gu Qi didn't explain much, and he didn't mean to give Gu Danian the silver note on his body.

It's not that she thinks too much, Gu Danian is not assertive, and even more unreliable.

When they arrive at Jiangzhou Mansion, if they want to settle down, they will need to spend a lot of money.With the few taels of silver left over from selling Astragalus before and the 50 taels of silver this time, it is unnecessary to think about buying a house in the counties and towns of Jiangling County.

It might be interesting to find a nearby village and build a small courtyard by yourself, and it also depends on whether those villages accept foreigners, and at that time, they will have to use money to clear the way.

"It seems that the young master on Wednesday is really willing to help us?" Gu Danian said happily while lighting a fire to prepare porridge: "Girl, we have really met a noble this time.

You said that when we arrived in Jiangling County, if we couldn't find a place to settle, could you also ask Master Wednesday for help, find us a place to live, or take us in for a while?

No matter how bad it is, we can find a job for both of us, and then we won't have to worry about eating and drinking. "

The more Gu Danian thought about it, the more beautiful he became, but Gu Qi's mouth twitched and said, "Why don't you go and beg the young master on Wednesday to let you enter the manor as an old servant, to ensure that you have a place to live, and you don't have to worry about food and clothing."

"How did that happen, that's not selling into slavery!

We are a good book, and your little nephew will study in the future.What would it look like if my master sold himself as an old slave!You girl, don't talk nonsense. "Gu Danian was angry and angry, blushing.

"Why are you angry, I see that you are not very happy to deal with the young master on Wednesday?"

"Can it be the same?! I'm a man, what can Master Ren do..." Gu Danian retorted, but didn't say anything more.

"So, what is Young Master Ren planning?" Gu Qi sneered:

"You want the Zhou family to take you in and find a place for you, and you want the Zhou family to find a job for you again. Do you still want the Zhou family to give you some money in the future?"

"You're thinking very well, but the Zhou family didn't open a shantang either.

You have nothing to do with your muddy legs, Master Wednesday, so why? "

"That...that's not..."

"What's that not?" Gu Qi sneered: "Can't you go on?

I'll tell you, it's still mine.

Girls become parents, after all, these are the ways out.It's okay to sell it as a maid, maybe if you are lucky, you can still be a concubine, right? "

"I...I didn't mean that." Gu Danian turned pale when asked.

"I believe you'd better not mean it that way."

Gu Qi took out a rabbit from the basket and turned a flower with the dagger in his hand.Then a knife landed on the rabbit's belly, and while talking, the dagger neatly peeled the skin of the belly.

Gu Danian looked at the rabbit whose skin was plucked, the blue veins on his forehead throbbing, and the cold sweat poured out from behind his ears.

Before Gu Qi came back, he asked Zhou Li's entourage, A Zhi, for some salt and cumin (cumin).

The rabbit at noon was smeared with wild juice, the roasted oil was shiny and the skin was slightly emerald, and then sprinkled with salt and cumin.

Wild vegetables and white porridge served with roasted rabbit meat made Gu Qi feel refreshed this meal, but Gu Danian's complexion never eased.

Gu Danian, who usually devours everything when he starts cooking, doesn't dare to touch the rabbit today.

Rabbit skins with good coat color can also sell for a lot of money, but it takes at least two or three days to make skins. It is inconvenient to do things on the road and can only be wasted.

The Zhou family's team set out in the afternoon. Gu Qi took Gu Danian to the carriage ahead of time and waited.Zhou Li was thorough in her work, and assigned a coachman to Gu Qi.

The carriage followed at the back of Zhou Yu's two carriages and horses, along with the carriages and horses loaded with grain and goods, and there was no need to meet the rest of the Zhou family.

The carriage and horses traveled unpleasantly, but it saved days of travel, and was accompanied by the large army, with guards watching over them, which made Gu Qi's tense heartstrings relieved a lot, and he could not help leaning against the carriage and closed his eyes to rest in peace. .

The carriage and horse swayed, making Gu Qi drowsy.

Gu Danian whispered in his ear, "It's really a blessing, the soles of several pairs of straw shoes have been worn out in the past few months. Your father's soles of my feet are torn good, rotten and good, all thick. several layers.

Girl, do you have any money on you? "

"There are some."

"Then when we enter Jiangzhou Mansion, let's buy two pairs of good shoes, the same thick soles as your uncle Qingshan, and they are comfortable to wear."

Gu Qi thought for a while, but did not refute.

Xindao: In addition to the shoes, the clothes will also have to be changed and washed.Nothing fancy, just clean and comfortable.

He always dressed like a beggar, and he was inconspicuous in Yuzhou Mansion, where there were refugees everywhere, but when he entered Jiangzhou Mansion, he still looked like this, and it was inconvenient to do things.

Just before departure, Gu Danian met Liu Qingshan who was lightly tapping the carts and horses at the back.After a few chats between the two, Gu Danian explained the ins and outs of this journey.

Liu Qingshan obviously did not expect that Gu Danian would be able to take his daughter all the way to Jiangzhou Mansion, and he also had a relationship with the eldest young master and traveled with the borrowed carriage.

In addition to being surprised, he is also happy for Gu Danian. Now there is no way out of staying in Yuzhou Mansion. When Jiangling County has his own help, life will pass by.
