"Brother, I heard that I had caught a little thief." Gu Qingyi asked after he took a breath.

Gu Yishu nodded, "The Maodan child was instructed by others and wanted to come in and cause trouble. I have already dealt with it."

"Who ordered it?"

"I said it was a man named Hu. I have sent someone to investigate. It's not a big deal, so don't worry." Gu Yishu said with a smile, "No matter who makes a fool of himself, he won't make a big deal on the Li family's territory. At most, it's just a disgusting person."

After saying this, Gu Qingyi understood that he was probably from the Ming family.

Originally, the Ming family thought it was a foregone conclusion. Now that they have taken the lead, they must be feeling uncomfortable and want to cause some trouble for the Gu family.

When you go to the job, you will be auspicious time to choose a good job. If you delay the last time, the Li family will inevitably think that the Gu family is negligent. Although it is not a big deal, it is indeed disgusting.

Is the head of the Ming family now broken? These stupid moves are one after another? Calculate the time. Mingke has just disappeared not long ago. I think the Ming family has not yet attracted attention.

But if the Ming family doesn't show up in another ten days or half a month, they will find something wrong.

But by that time, Mingke had already transported it out of Liangzhou, and he would definitely not be able to find someone.

"Just catch the person, let's not delay the time we go to the Li family to get a job."

Gu Yishu nodded and walked with Amei, saying as he walked: "I met Clan Chief Li yesterday. When I heard him praise you, Brother Amei really feels honored."

Gu Qingyi was also happy. Who doesn’t like others to praise her, and said to her brother with a smile: “What’s the point now? When you get married to Mingying in the future, our family will have more contacts with the Li family. Then my brother will have a face.”

Gu Yishu laughed lightly and nodded, "I'm asking for the blessing of Ah Mei."

Both of them were in a good mood and were not affected by the previous events at all.

At this time, the person who was still waiting for news in another house in Gaoping could not sit still. Why has the news not been sent back yet? Is things not going well?

After a while, the servant ran in a panic and replied, "Girl, that child was arrested, and Lao Hu was taken away."

Ming Fangfei was stunned and immediately said, "Let's leave for Liangzhou."

Ming Fangfei and Mingke are brothers and sisters of the same mother. This time Mingke was pushed out by his family. Ming Fangfei was already in trouble. It was obvious that the incident started because of Li Mingying, but why was her brother who was in trouble in the end?

Therefore, Ming Fangfei thought of causing trouble for the Gu family and delaying the auspicious time for the appointment.

The child was not so casually, but the smartest man under Lao Hu, a famous beggar in Gaoping City. He just wanted to go into the Gu family's house to set fire or make trouble. He didn't know that he was so stupid that he was caught.

Ming Fangfei felt that she might have been fooled, and this old Hu was not a powerful person, so he would better not give her a gift.

otherwise……

Ming Fangfei didn't bother to watch the jokes, so she hurriedly took the car and left the city and returned to Liangzhou.

When the Gu family came to the door, the building was empty.

Gu Qingyi got the news and sneered, "I ran quickly."

When it was auspicious, the team hired by the Gu family set out in a vast way. From the streets, the big red silk was tied to the ox cart with the dowry, which looked particularly festive.

There is no custom of tied red silk here, it was suggested by Gu Qingyi. Gu's mother thought it was good and looked festive and imposing, so each car was tied with red silk, which made Anding people very novel and talked about it.

Gu Qingyi, Gu's mother and brother entered the Li family and was warmly welcomed, especially the Gu family's betrothal gifts entered the Li family in a car, which naturally made the Li family very glorious.

When he arrived at the Yimen Gate, Gu Yishu moved the two mechanics geese out of the car and twisted the mechanics. The lifelike wooden geese at both ends ran all over the yard, looking like they were real.

Gu Qingyi met the shocked gaze of the Li family. Is the Li family short of gold, jade, jewelry?

Such aristocratic families naturally do not lack these things. The Gu family brought the projectiles when they were engaged last time, and this time the geese of the government expressed their sincerity.

A pair of mechanical geese is certainly a surprise, but the Clan Chief Li can definitely think that the Gu family can take out mechanical geese and must also take out other good things. This is the most important thing.

Li Si looked at Gu Yishu, "Good guy, this is the first time I have seen this thing. I am smart and you can pass the test."

Gu Yishu was very proud of his heart, but said, "It's just my sincerity."

Li Si laughed, this is good sincerity, and it seems that everyone likes it.

Gu's mother was welcomed by Mrs. Li Er, and the wives from other houses in the Li family also followed Mrs. Li Er into the main hall. Gu Qingyi blamed Li Chaying for grabbing him and seeing Li Mingying. Li Lanying was accompanying her in the boudoir and got up to greet her when she saw the two of them coming in.

Li Mingying had heard about Jiguanyan, and had a smile on her face, looking at Gu Qingyi and said, "It's hard for you to come up with this."

Gu Qingyi immediately said, "Of course my brother must be sincere when he can get such a satisfactory wife."

Even though Li Mingying was so generous, she couldn't help but blush at this time.

The appointment was very smooth. The children of the Li family liked the geese and specially caught them on the street for everyone to watch. For a moment, the geese became popular.

After the banquet at the Li family, Gu's mother took her children to say goodbye because she was going to rush back to Jinyang, and the Li family did not try to keep them in a short time.

Stepping on the afterglow of the sunset, the mother and son rushed to Jinyang directly.

As soon as the Gu family left, Mrs. Li Er returned to the dormitory with a drunken look, and saw her husband changing clothes. She smiled and said, "I really didn't expect that the Gu family is really sincere. The Ming family wants to see our Mingying jokes. This time they can laugh or not."

Li Duwei heard his wife say this, looked back at her and said, "You add another three points to Mingying's dowry and come out of my private treasury."

Mrs. Li's drunkenness disappeared immediately, she looked up at her husband, and said with a smile: "Why are you adding another dowry?"

Speaking of it, it was already very generous to have one dowry from my daughter, one from my second wife, and one from my own dowry. A few days ago, the old patriarch sent another one, and now my husband has to add three points. Mrs. Li knew in her heart that it must be because the Gu family hired her husband today and made her think about it.

Li Duwei said casually: "The Gu family is full of sincerity, and we cannot be at a disadvantage. In the future, Mingying will not be able to lose face if she marrys her husband."

The Li family gave a generous dowry, firstly, the daughter was confident in the Gu family, and secondly, this was also the sincerity of the Li family.

The daughter took her dowry to the Gu family, and the descendants of the Gu family were ultimately benefiting. I think the Gu family would be satisfied.

Of course, Mrs. Li Er agreed to it all the time, such good things are not common.

"My parents' family is already looking at Lan Ying's affairs, but there is no good news in front of me." Mrs. Li was very worried. Although she hated Aunt Sang and her daughter very much, Li Lanying saved Cha Ying this time.

Mrs. Li Er has a good relationship with her sister-in-law, and she really feels sorry for Li Chaying, so she can't help but be very concerned about Li Lanying's marriage.

Li Duwei heard his wife worry, and remembered Aunt Sang's cry again. His eyebrows were not relaxed. After thinking about it, he said: "There is no movement in the Ming family yet. We still have time. We can't hear the news. Even if there are optimistic families, don't move. Let's wait until the Ming family takes action. If there is no good candidate on the father-in-law, I will see if I can ask my friends to visit several families in Jizhou."

Mrs. Li Er nodded, "I have written a letter to my sister-in-law to see if my sister-in-law can help. Cha Ying always needs to let her brother and sister-in-law know about Cha Ying, and we can't hide it from it."

Wei Du Li had already sent a letter to his elder brother. He nodded as his wife said this, "There is still time, don't worry, I've been busy for a day, so let's take a break."

Mrs. Li Er was happy to see that her husband had no intention of leaving and hurriedly asked the maid to come in to serve and wash.

The incident about the geese of the Ministry of Communications quickly reached the ears of the Ming family in Liangzhou. The Gu family couldn't take care of the Ming family's reaction. After returning to Jinyang with a starry night, they realized that Youzhou had already started fighting.

Gu Yishu immediately discussed matters with Ah Father, strengthened the defense of Bingzhou, and mobilized troops to support the emperor's uncle at any time.

Gu Qingyi didn't expect that the fight would start in just a few days. She was worried about the emperor's uncle who was far away in Youzhou, and she didn't know if Tuoba Di was sent to him.

When Youzhou was in chaos, Bingzhou and Jizhou became nervous. There was Dong Dacheng in Gu Qingyi, but I didn’t have to worry about Tuoba Di who went to Youzhou. The two places were far apart. She was not a battlefield, and she could not do the feat of riding alone for thousands of miles.

It’s better to do logistics construction honestly.

Gu's father had basically mastered the entire official system in Jinyang, especially after Fan Xian took over as the military officer, he advanced and retreated with the Gu family and his son, and the appeal of dispatching local soldiers in Jinyang increased sharply, reducing a lot of trouble.

Gu Qingyi just took a simple look at the reserves of Jinyang's granary. Although it was worrying, it was not unsupported. The most important thing at the moment was the autumn harvest and winter planting matters in Bingzhou, which must be arranged in advance.

Most of the young and middle-aged men were recruited into the army, and most of the left-behind women and children were women and less than one-third of the strong men.

In this case, facing autumn harvest is also a challenge, especially since the family of the lords and families control many powerful households, which is even more troublesome.

Things like black households are not only in modern times, but in ancient times it was even more rampant.

For example, the Fan family may have only one thousand households on the surface, but it is likely to increase several times in private, and the taxes generated by these black households do not need to be paid.

This is just one of them, and more importantly, the number of soldiers in these black households is firmly controlled by the aristocratic families.

Is anyone?

have.

But if you look at the list of the government, it is definitely much smaller than the actual population.

Gu Qingyi has been thinking about how to snatch these black households from the aristocratic families.

What kind of dreams should we dream of these famous families and families bringing them over on their own initiative?

Free labor equals free taxes, and wait for the rain to be free soldiers. Who will be stupid and will go diplomatic?

When Gu Qingyi came to Yuzhou to secretly gather refugees, did she do it? Didn’t anyone know how to do this?

That would definitely be too.

However, Gu Qingyi was open and honest, and all households who settled in Guzhou were listed in the first place and registered, without any black households.

Later, there was another brief transition period, but after Gu’s father took over Bingzhou, all of these people passed the Ming Road.

In this case, the noble families will not forget the diplomats, so they can only let these people come out on their own initiative.

But what can I do?

Gu Qingyi had no good idea for the moment and kept walking around the room.

Gu's mother has been even busier since she came back from Anding County. She saw the sky and kept seeing guests. Gu Qingyi had already engaged to the emperor's uncle and did not want to go out to socialize with these wives. So she was busy setting up a wedding house for her brother, thinking about logistics when she was free.

After spending more than ten days, Gu Qingyi didn't expect a good idea. Instead, she got news that Girl Fan invited Girl Pei to visit Jinyang.

Gu Qingyi:...

I felt a vague feeling that it was for her.

She was suffering from the lack of artificial labor due to the coming autumn harvest, so she didn't have time to care about what they did.

The autumn harvest in Huzhou is definitely a bumper harvest, but the situation in Bingzhou is not optimistic.
To be continued...
