The biography of Gu Qi, a poor girl

"Miss Gu, long time no see, how are you doing these days?"

Gu Qi turned around and saw that the person who came was neither the concierge woman nor Liu Qingshan, but the eldest son of the Zhou family, Zhou Li.

"Eldest son is well." Gu Qi stood up and folded his fists in salute.

Zhou Li's gaze unconsciously fell on Gu Qi's clasped hands, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly: "Miss Gu is well."

Gu Qi raised his eyebrows, is this an awkward chat?

"I don't know Manager Liu, can you be here today?"

"Something happened in the Yujiazhuangzi yesterday, and Guanshi Liu happened to be proficient in this way, so he went with him, and he hasn't come back today." Zhou Li said.

Gu Qi felt strange: "Then why didn't the concierge maid just say it?"

Zhou Li smiled: "Steward Liu is my subordinate, and the Yu family's nanny is not sure.

I don't know if there is something wrong with the girl who came to see Mr. Liu today? "

"It's nothing important. My father and I came here for the first time, and we are not familiar with the place. A few days ago, Uncle Qingshan helped to resettle them. When I came to the town today, I wanted to thank Uncle Qingshan before he left He Song Town. "Gu Qi pointed to the things in his hands.

"Unfortunately, the girl may have to wait in vain today."

Zhou Li showed a look of embarrassment: "It's not as good as this, I think it's almost the end of the day now. If the girl is not busy, follow me to the front restaurant to have some lunch and rest for a while. I will send Xiaosi to come now Go to Zhuangzi and call Guanshi Liu back."

"The eldest son is serious. Gu Qi came to thank Uncle Qingshan today. Since Uncle Qingshan has something to do today, I will come back another day."

"What about the gift in your hand?"

Gu Qi chuckled: "It's just an ordinary gift, it's not worth a few dollars, there's no need to bother the eldest son to make a special trip.

It's the same to hand over the things to the concierge later, wait for Uncle Qingshan to come back, and talk to Uncle Qingshan again. "

"The aunt in the Yu family's mansion, I'm afraid she will know the wrong person. If you don't worry, why don't you teach me something. I'll ask people to keep an eye on it, and when Steward Liu comes back, I'll ask him to come to me to pick it up."

Zhou Li was wearing a light blue long-sleeved long shirt today, with a straight and slender back, and a pleasant smile on her face. If you ignore the slightly flamboyant and sharp phoenix eyes, she looks like a clear breeze.

Gu Qi raised his eyebrows, knowing that if he continued, he might become more entangled, and said:

"In this case, the eldest son will be troubled."

After saying that, he handed the things in his hand to Xiao Si behind Zhou Li: "Thank you again, eldest son, Gu Qi has other things to do, so I will say goodbye first."

"Miss Gu, it just so happens that I have nothing to do today, and I am familiar with He Songzhen. If you have something to do with the girl, why don't I go with you." Zhou Li said.

"Young Master, you are joking." Gu Qi twitched the corner of his mouth, turned around and left without saying any more.

......

"Eldest son, do we want to catch up?" Siu Si, who was behind Zhou Li, asked carefully as he watched the people go further and further away.

"No need, do you really consider your son a prodigal son?"

"What is the young man doing today?"

Xiao Si was a little puzzled.The steward Liu Qingshan was clearly in the mansion today.

When the young master was just passing by the side courtyard, he happened to meet the aunt at Yujiajiaomen who was looking for someone to inquire about the residence of Steward Zhou Jialiu, so he pointed to himself and asked.

When asked if a young girl came to look for Liu Qingshan, she actually let herself give the old woman a handful of broken money and sealed her mouth.

At this moment, I went out by myself, and even deliberately shied away saying that Director Liu was not in the mansion today.

It took such a long time, and now people are going to leave, but they are not chasing.I don't know what the eldest son means.

"That son, what should I do with the things in my hand?"

I originally thought of letting Liu Qingshan come to him, but after thinking about Zhou Li for a second, he just shook his head and smiled: "Wait for you to send it."

"If Steward Ruo Liu asks, what should I do?"

"Let's just say that you happened to meet today. Miss Gu has other things to do. Let's go first."

This is the meaning of not being able to mention the young master, Xiaosi understood. "It's the son."

Gu Qi naturally didn't know what Zhou Li's master and servant said.

I just feel that today's events are indeed a bit coincidental, but I can't say what's wrong.I also felt that the two sons of the Zhou family were a little strange.

It's just that no matter how strange it is, it has nothing to do with me anyway.Although Liu Qingshan has a kindness with his family, after all, they will be divided into two ways in the future, and naturally they will not see each other again with Zhou's family.

After Gu Qi left Yufu, he went to the largest bank in town and exchanged the banknotes for loose silver.I found a bookstore near the school, and saw that there were also four treasures of the study house on consignment, so I bought a stack of paper clips that were thicker and not easy to break.

Gu Qi had never practiced calligraphy, and he didn't use a brush well, so he just picked one from the bookstore, which looked the smallest, made fine brushes, and used it to write teeny small characters.Anyway, it is not used to practice calligraphy, and drawing is easy.

The things that scholars use are expensive, but fortunately, Gu Qi bought the most common ones and asked for a small amount, so he spent hundreds of dollars.

After leaving the bookstore, Gu Qi went straight to Fangshi in the east of the town.

There are many merchants in Fangshi in the east of the town, and things are fresh, and the most important thing is that it is connected to the horse market.

The horse market is just a general term. It does not only sell horses alone. There are also cattle, donkeys, mules and other livestock that can be used for work and footsteps that are commonly used by farmers.

As for the wild game, poultry and livestock, some people also collect or sell them, but they are in other specialized meat markets.

In ancient times, there were no cars, and horses and chariots were the best means of transportation.

Thinking about the distance from Xiaoqi Village to the town, it was too inconvenient to rent a car and horse from someone else's house every time.In addition, it will be used for business in the future, so I took advantage of this time to bring it back to myself.

When the time comes, let Gu Danian ask someone to take a cart, and it will be more convenient to transport the goods in the future.

......

If Rolls-Royce and Ferrari are the top-class hard-earned horses, then ordinary adult horses can also meet the standards of BMW and Mercedes-Benz.

The advantage is that it runs fast, looks good, and looks decent.The disadvantage is that the selling price is expensive, and the trouble of feeding is expensive.

Often only big families who do not work will buy some.

Compared with these, what farmers like most is the bullock cart.An adult and strong scalper can pull the most things on a cart. Although it walks slowly, it is steady.Even on the ridges of village roads that are difficult to walk, the old scalper can walk well.This is comparable to the level of a tractor.

In addition, when the farming is busy, the cattle can also be used for arable land, which can replace at least two or three strong laborers.The most important thing is that cows are easier to feed than horses, and they can be raised well with ordinary food and grass, and there is no need for people to raise them specially.
