Chapter 142: Think long term

Gu Huayu wanted to say no, but seeing the firm look in their eyes, she nodded in agreement, "Okay, you guys stay and live next door to Su Min. By the way, tomorrow, you go and check to see if Deng Jiayu and Chen Liang have left. Stone City.”

 The two of them bowed their bodies and responded.

Gu Huayu returned to her room and fell asleep.

 When Gu Huayu woke up, it was already the end of the morning.

Gu Huayu got up and washed up, when Liandong knocked on the door and came in, "Miss is awake? I'll help you wash up."

Gu Huayu smiled at Lonicera and said, "How many times have I told you, just call me Xiaoyu, don't call me Miss."

 Landong lowered his head and said: "From now on, the young lady will definitely have maids to serve her, and the servants must not break the rules."

 Gu Huayu saw that Lonicera persisted, so he let her go. "Okay, whatever you want."

 Landong stepped forward to give Gu Huayu face wash.

Gu Huayu asked: "Is the eldest sister's injury healed?"

Ling Dong bent her knees and said, "It's already done. Sister Cheng Jiao was afraid that Sister Cheng Juan would be too busy, so she went to the shop to help out a few days ago. She has been living there these days."

Gu Chengjiao was injured, Wang Qin went to Hongcheng again, and no one was taking care of the rouge shop for a while.

Gu Chengjuan couldn't bear to see the shop close, so she took the initiative to take over the business of Rouge Shop.

Gu Huayu nodded, "I understand. Where are the eldest brother and sister-in-law? Have you gone to the shop?"

 Landong shook his head and said, "Brother Chengdong has gone to the shop, and Sister-in-law Guan has returned to Shangtai Village."

"Go back to Shangtai Village? When did you go back?" Gu Huayu asked with a frown.

Landong took the handkerchief from Gu Huayu's hand and hung it on the shelf, "It has only been a few days since Sister-in-law Guan came to the city, and Aunt Qin came to the city to take Sister-in-law Guan back.

 It was said that the second sister-in-law Wang at home was too heavy to do heavy work and was too busy with household affairs, so she asked her sister-in-law Guan to go back and help. "

When Gu Huayu heard this, she probably understood. It seemed that her eldest brother and his family were coming to the city, and Wang was unbalanced and acted like a monster at home.

 The eldest uncle’s mother came to the city to take her eldest sister-in-law back for the sake of family peace.

Gu Huayu then asked: "What about you, are you okay?"

Ling Dong bent her knees and said, "Thank you, miss. I'm very nice to you. My family treats me more closely than my own family. I've never been so kind to you since I was a child."

Gu Huayu said: "I'm not asking this, I'm asking you, no one from the Zhang family is here to cause trouble for you, right?"

Ling Dong lowered his head and said truthfully: "A month ago, Zhang Wu and Wu came to the county town and went to the rouge shop to find the slave girl. That slave girl happened to be helping Sister Chun Tang in Huangji. Sister Cheng Jiao asked Mother Liu to do something. Come here and tell me the message, please don’t go to the shop.”

Gu Huayu asked: "So, you have been in Meiyuan and didn't dare to go out?"

Ling Dong nodded, "Yes, Sister Xiaojiao came back and said that Zhang Wu is still in the city, squatting under the willow tree opposite the shop every day. The master told the slave not to go anywhere, just stay at home."

Gu Huayu nodded and said, "Listen to Dad and stay at home. Where is Dad, are you out or at home?"

Ling Dong bent her knees and said, "Sir, I'm at home. Let me have breakfast and go to the study."

"I know, let's go have breakfast first. By the way, Su Min is staying at home these days. You can help make medicine and cook for them." Gu Huayu said.

 Landong responded immediately: "Okay. I heard that many people in Huang Ji were injured. Where is Sister Chuntang? Is she injured?"

 In Rendong's heart, Gu Huayu is the benefactor who saved her from fire and water.

 Huang Ji’s person was the one who made her feel warm for the first time.

 Everyone in Huang Ji's family is closer to her than family members. Especially Chun Tang, his care and love for her are simply meticulous.

Gu Huayu makes Lonicera admire her, and Chuntang warms her heart.

 After Liao Dong learned about Huang Ji's accident, his heart was in a state of turmoil and he had never been at peace.

 She wanted to go to Huang Ji to visit, but she was worried that meeting Zhang Wu would cause trouble to the people around her.

Gu Huayu turned to look at Lonicera and said with relief: "Don't worry, Chuntang is not hurt."

 Landong breathed a heavy sigh of relief and said: "That's good, that's good. I've been worried for two days, for fear that Sister Chuntang would be hurt. I'll go see Sister Chuntang again during the Chinese New Year."

Gu Huayu said: "You may not be able to see her during the Chinese New Year. Chun Tang, Uncle Huang and the others have left Shicheng."

 Landong asked in surprise: "How long did it take? I haven't heard of it!"

“I left last night,” Gu Huayu replied.

 The disappointment on Ling Dong’s face was visible to the naked eye, “Then I won’t be able to see the shopkeeper and the others in the future.”

Gu Huayu couldn't bear to see her lonely look and said with relief: "That's not necessarily the case, I can't tell when we will see you again."

 Landong suddenly thought of something and looked at Gu Huayu happily, "What do you mean, Miss?"

Gu Huayu put her finger up to her mouth, and then said: "Just know what you know in your heart, don't say it out loud."

 Landong nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, miss. I understand."

 Gu Huayu had breakfast and went to the study.

When Gu Dechang saw Gu Huayu come in, he put down the book in his hand and said with a smile: "Xiaoyu is here, come and sit down!"

Gu Huayu sat down, and Gu Dechang continued: "There was so much going on yesterday, I forgot to ask you, why didn't Brother Lin come back with you?"

Gu Huayu told Gu Dechang about setting up Zhuangzi in Hongcheng.

Gu Dechang was so frightened that he asked, "Building a village in Hongcheng? This..."

 As soon as Gu Dechang finished speaking, he realized that he had lost his composure, so he stopped speaking.

Gu Huayu explained: "I have calculated that if the things produced in our Zhuangzi are transported to Hongcheng, it will require a lot of manpower and material resources on the way back and forth, as well as the time lost. These are all costs. It is better to transport them to Hongcheng." Set up some farms and plant them nearby.

 Furthermore, I want to avenge my father and mother, so I have to gradually manage my own power and cannot always hide in Shicheng. And Hongcheng is a good springboard. "

Gu Dechang nodded and said: "That's the reason. There is no need to tell my family about this for the time being. When they asked Lin Geer, they said that they rented a shop in Hongcheng and he took care of it there and couldn't come back for a while."

Gu Huayu glanced at Gu Dechang gratefully, "Thank you, Dad."

Gu Dechang smiled and said, "Silly girl, what's there to thank you for? My father's ability is limited and he can't help you much. You still have to walk the road ahead on your own."

Gu Huayu said, "My father has helped Xiaoyu a lot. It's the new year and Nanshan Academy is not on holiday yet?"

Gu Dechang replied: "We have been released. Brother Liang and Brother Gui returned to Shangtai Village the day before yesterday.

The family house has been built, and your grandfather has found someone to look at the progress and plans to move in on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month. They went back first to help clean up. "

"Oh! When does Dad plan to go back?" Gu Huayu asked.

Gu Dechang sighed, "I planned to go back today and tomorrow, but something happened to Huang Ji. We can't leave at this time.

 Ten years ago, it was first Guanshi Su who rescued me, and then Brother Huang who rescued me on the way back home. If not for them, my life would have been lost long ago! "

After speaking, Gu Dechang looked at Gu Huayu and said, "Xiaoyu, don't you think that my father is a ruthless person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?"

Gu Huayu immediately shook her head and said: "My father has misunderstood! My father has been upright and upright in his life, attaching great importance to love and righteousness. How can he be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?"

Facing Gu Huayu’s praise, Gu Dechang said with some embarrassment: “It’s hard to say that I am aboveboard, but my dad thinks he is worthy of the words “love and justice.”

Time flies, and a person’s lifetime lasts for decades in the blink of an eye.

 with my father, although he was not named on the gold medal list, he could not prosper in his official career.

But my father has always practiced the benevolence, wisdom, etiquette, righteousness and trust respected by scholar-bureaucrats. "

Gu Huayu nodded hurriedly, "Yes, my father values ​​love and righteousness the most!"

Gu Dechang asked: "Xiaoyu, have you already started planning for revenge?"

Gu Huayu shook her head, "Not yet, Hua Xu has taken over Longying Guard for ten years, even if his father's people didn't listen to Hua Xu.

 But in ten years, Hua Xu can also create a new Dragon Shadow Guard.

My current strength is too weak. If I seek revenge at Huaxu at this time, I will undoubtedly be throwing an egg against a stone and falling into a trap. "

Gu Dechang thought deeply, "Well, Xiaoyu has thought carefully about this matter. This matter must be considered in the long term and cannot be rash."

"Yes, Uncle Huang's whereabouts in Shicheng have been exposed. We can't stay in Shicheng. Last night, Uncle Huang and his friends had already left." Gu Huayu said.

"You left overnight last night? Where is the city gate..." Gu Dechang asked in surprise.

Gu Huayu replied calmly: "Find someone to get a traffic order."

"Oh, I understand. Where are the injured guys? Where is Shopkeeper Su Er? He also left with him?"

Gu Huayu shook her head and said: "Su Min is in Meiyuan. He came with me last night. The rest of the people will make other arrangements and wait until they recover from their injuries before leaving Shicheng."

Gu Dechang nodded and did not ask in detail. He just said: "Let Shopkeeper Su Er rest here to rest in peace. I will take Xiaojiao, Xiaojuan, Chengdong and the others back to Shangtai Village in a while..."

“That’s not necessary. It’s the new year and the shop is very busy. The eldest sister and the second sister are staying over there these days.

There is also the eldest brother, who also lives in the shop. They don’t know much about the family affairs.

 Besides, today is already twenty, and in six days it will be the day for the family to move house, and they will naturally go back then. "Gu Huayu took the words and said.

Gu Dechang nodded, "Okay, that's fine, just let nature take its course and not do it deliberately. What about me, should I stay in the city for a few days and go back with you, or should I go back today?"

Gu Huayu thought for a while and said, "My father has nothing to do in the city, so let's go back today. Xiaoyu and the eldest brother and eldest sister will return on the 25th."

Gu Dechang nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll go back first, and you guys will come back in a few days."

Gu Huayu came out of the study and went directly to Su Min's yard, telling Liu Guang to secretly **** Gu Dechang back to Shangtai Village.

After Liu Guang left, Gu Huayu entered the room and saw that Su Min was not awake yet, so she asked softly: "How long has he been asleep?"

Junjie lowered his voice and replied: "Mao Mo just fell asleep."

Gu Huayu nodded and quietly exited the room.

He told Junjie and Ruan Wu: "Let him have a good rest and don't disturb him. If he wakes up, give him medicine first, and then wait for him to eat after a quarter of an hour."

 A handsome man bows down to respond.

 After the explanation, Gu Huayu returned to her room and put on makeup before going to the rouge shop.

　　Gu Huayu did not go through the front door, but went around to the back alley and raised her hand to knock on the door.

 After a while, Liu Ma came over and opened the door.

“Who are you looking for?” Liu Ma looked at Gu Huayu and asked.

Gu Huayu pursed her lips and smiled, then replied: "Liu Ma, it's me, Gu Huayu."

Liu Ma opened her eyes wide and looked around, and asked in disbelief: "Are you the boss?"

Gu Huayu nodded, "Well, it's me."

Liu Ma stared at Gu Huayu's face and asked, "My boss, what's your face?"

Gu Huayu walked towards the yard and replied: "It's nothing, I just put on makeup. Are there many people in the shop today? Where are the eldest sister, the second sister and the others? Are they all busy in front?"

Liu Ma closed the door and replied: "Business is very good these days. There are many people coming to the shop every day. The eldest and second ladies are always busy in the front, and they come here alternately to eat."

Gu Huayu nodded and said, "I understand, go ahead and do your work. I'll go to the front and take a look."

Liu Ma bent her knees and stood up. Then she thought of something and asked, "Master, are you eating lunch here today?"

 Gu Huayu shook her head, "I won't eat here, so you don't have to cook my lunch."

Gu Huayu went to the shop and saw Gu Chengjuan packing bags for someone and Gu Chengjiao collecting money.

There are still many customers in the shop waiting to pack and pay.

Gu Huayu walked to Gu Chengjuan, raised her hand and said, "You can check out here."

Gu Chengjuan and Gu Chengjiao heard Gu Huayu's voice and looked at her in unison.

Gu Chengjuan is lucky, she has seen Gu Huayu's makeup before. Gu Chengjiao saw this for the first time and asked in shock: "Are you Xiaoyu?"

Gu Huayu smiled at Gu Chengjiao and reminded: "Sister, collect the money first."

Gu Chengjiao came back to her senses and said, "Oh, okay."

Gu Huayu lowered her head and glanced at the things pushed over by the woman in yellow, and quickly reported: "Three taels of silver." Then she packed the things quickly.

The woman in yellow came over after paying. Gu Huayu had already packed the things, handed the bag to the woman in yellow, and called the next one.

 “Three taels and eight pieces of silver.”

 “Two taels and five pieces of silver.”

　　　…”

 With the help of Gu Huayu, the speed is much faster.

After the three sisters dealt with the wave of people, Gu Chengjuan waved her hand and said, "It's so good today that I have Xiaoyu to help me. Otherwise, I would have been busy until noon again. Xiaoyu, you settled the accounts too quickly."

Gu Chengjiao said with a smile: "Whatever makes Xiaoyu unhappy? Look at her nimble hands and feet, and she wraps it up quickly and well."

Gu Huayu pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "This kind of packaging is too time-consuming. If the paper bags are made in advance, it will save a lot of trouble."

"That's right! There weren't many customers before, so we always made fresh paper bags. If we make the paper bags first, it will really save a lot of trouble." Gu Chengjiao said.

Gu Huayu looked around and said, "You guys get busy first, I'll find someone to make paper bags."

Gu Huayu turned around and returned to the backyard, and told Ma Liu: "Ma Liu, go and help me find three or five women who are skillful."

Liu Ma stopped what she was doing, looked at Gu Huayu doubtfully, and asked, "Girl, are you making clothes?"

 Gu Huayu shook her head and said, "No, I want someone to make some paper bags. It's very simple. Just do it and watch."

With that said, Gu Huayu showed Liu Ma a demonstration.

After a few moments, Gu Huayu placed the finished paper bag in front of Liu Ma, "I will provide the raw materials for such a paper bag, five for a penny. The more you make, the more you will get, and the account will be settled on the same day. Is anyone willing to make it?"
