Dressed As a Farm Boy, He Cheated on His Way Out of the Desert.: Chapter 756 I vaguely smell a conspiracy!
Chapter 756: I vaguely smell a conspiracy!
On the second day, Jiayin just handed over the medicine he made last night to Ye Shan.
Guli came to the old house to ask for a meeting!
This Mr. Jiang’s book boy has been taciturn and diligent since he came to Suijintan.
When Baiyunjian opened a branch the year before last, Chen Xi took the lead and led four apprentices and some people to disperse around the country.
When Mr. Jiang heard the news, he asked for a three-month leave from the village, and took Guli to go out with the team to broaden his horizons.
When I came back, the account books submitted by the four branches were all written and organized by Gu Li. Not only were they organized, but the calculations were also accurate.
Jiayin loves talents, but also lacks manpower, so he dug Guli out of Mr. Jiang and became a manager.
She specializes in taking care of the account books of Baiyunjian's main store and branches for her, which is equivalent to an accountant.
Occasionally, Guli will go to the branch to inspect and check the accounts.
In short, with Guli as a good helper, Jiayin can feel free to start his own business...
Fortunately, Guli is indeed reliable and has not had any problems in the past two years.
This time, he came back from the branch in Southwest Bianguan, which is Lu Zong’s hometown.
When he opened a branch there, Lu Zong strongly invited him.
According to what he said, he wanted his parents and younger siblings to be able to eat Baiyunjian’s delicious snacks.
Even if he leaves Kyoto in the future, he won’t shed tears because he misses Baiyun Gao...
No matter the reason, the branch in Baiyunjian successfully opened to the border and business is indeed good.
Jiayin looked through the account books for the past six months and was very satisfied to see that the income was a full two thousand taels.
Gu Li talked about the latest news in the southwest. Mrs. Li, Tao Hongying and others all listened and passed the whole morning's work.
After lunch, Tao Hongying urged her daughter to go into the city early.
“Your eldest brother and sister-in-law are living at home now. Only your second uncle occasionally stays in the Earl’s Mansion for one night. I don’t know what kind of mess it is. Go and help take care of it.
“I just want to go to Gu’s house for a banquet tomorrow, so I don’t have to get up early and rush to the city in a hurry.”
Jiayin didn’t care at all and said, “Then let me drop by the pickle shop and have a look?”
"Okay, you might as well go and have a look. I'm busy at home and I'm too lazy to make another trip." Tao Hongying was relieved, as she left the business to her daughter.
There are old people, young children, and a pregnant woman in the family. She doesn’t dare to leave easily.
After gathering up the good news, he took Nanny He and Shuiling into the city.
The driver this time was Zheng Sanjiang.
Because Ye Shan had to go to the dock to deliver medicine for injuries, Dongmei went to Zhengjiazhuang for something.
Zheng Sanjiang is still taciturn, but after living in the big family of Suijintan for a few years, the deathly look in his eyebrows has dissipated, and he can still smile occasionally.
It’s just that he was used to having a dull face, and his sudden smile was a little scary...
The Earl's Mansion is well-built and elegant enough to be the face of the Li family.
But compared to the courtyard in Suijintan, it still lacks some warmth and fireworks.
There are more than twenty slaves in the mansion, five or six of them are Wan'er's dowry slaves.
There are five or six veterans who are responsible for looking after the home and nursing home.
The remaining ten people were all bought by Wan'er from Ren Yazi and signed death deeds.
Wan'er is indeed a girl who has been in charge of the family for many years, and has an excellent sense of choosing people.
These ten people are all honest and hard-working. Even if the master does not come back often, they still sweep the courtyard and take care of the flowers and trees neatly.
Uncle Li Laoer now has enough manpower around him. After the establishment of the mansion, he left Ye Tong in the mansion as the chief steward.
Ye Tong originally came from the Hou family and was familiar with the details of every family in Xindu. It was very suitable for him to be the chief steward.
Furthermore, Jiaren lives in the Earl's Mansion. If he doesn't understand anything about human relations, he can consult Ye Tong nearby.
Jiayin came to stay for one night and went to bed early with nothing to do.
On the second day, Ye Tong personally packed the carriage and sent the good news to the Gu family.
There were already cars and horses in front of Gu's house, and it was very lively. It was obvious that most of the guests had arrived.
Shui Ling searched around and found no orbs, so Jiayin went in first. After all, the black flat-top carriage in the Earl's Mansion was quite large, and it was very conspicuous when it was blocked at the door.
In the main courtyard of the Gu family, Mrs. Gu, Mrs. Gu and Dean Gu were entertaining the wives of each family.The fresh and sweet Yuqian Longjing tea, the eight-petal lotus plate is filled with various snacks, and the white fine porcelain plate is filled with diced peaches, accompanied by a delicate silver spoon.
A woman tasted the diced peach and couldn't help but praise: "Oh, where did you buy this peach? It's so sweet and the peach flavor is rich."
“I’m afraid the peaches from the legendary Queen Mother’s peach garden will taste just like this, right?”
Everyone laughed when they heard it, and out of curiosity, they all tried it and praised it.
“It’s really good.”
“Yes, is this a white peach from Jiaozhou? It doesn’t look like it!”
“Aren’t peaches out of season? It’s rare to find them so fresh!”
The host will certainly be happy if the guests are satisfied with the fruit.
Mrs. Gu smiled and said: "This is not a fruit bought from outside. It is the fruit that my girl Qingqing has made good friends with Princess Kangle from Suijintan.
“The princess specially sent someone to deliver it yesterday. I thought it was good, so I asked the maid to cut it up and give it to everyone to eat freshly.”
Princess Kangle?
Everyone looked at each other and it was difficult to speak.
It’s not that they have any dissatisfaction with the Li family and Princess Kangle, they really don’t know how to evaluate it.
You may say that the Li family is arrogant and disrespectful, but they act very thoughtfully, do a lot of good deeds, and are highly favored by the Holy Family.
But speaking of how good the Li family is, anyone who goes against the Li family will not end well, and many times people even think that the Li family is too cruel...
At this time, the woman who had previously praised the delicious peaches took over and said, "Old lady, you are so lucky!
“I heard that there is a glazed greenhouse in the princess’s palace, where fruits and vegetables are constantly available all year round. Even the emperor often has people pick some.
“In this case, the peaches that the old lady invited us to eat are tribute fruits! I should eat a few more pieces to get lucky!”
Everyone was amused and laughed.
Two women thought of their daughter playing in the garden at the moment. No princess had come forward to intercede, and now their family did not have such a peaceful life, so they also agreed.
“Yes, Broken Gold Beach is really a geomantic treasure land, and the fruits grown here are exceptionally sweet.”
“Speaking of which, the jade melon garden should open in a few days, right?”
These words aroused everyone's interest and they responded one after another.
“Yes, my youngest son has been thinking about it for a long time.”
“My family has reserved a hundred, and I plan to give some to the clan.”
“My mother likes to eat golden fruits, so she ordered three hundred of them this time.”
“We started very early. If we were a few days late, we would be afraid that everything would be robbed.”
“I heard that even the palace has reserved a lot of land, covering almost half of the melon fields in the new village. Maybe what we get can only be grown in the other three villages.”
“Yes, even though they are all the same melon vines, I always feel that the ones grown in the new village are sweeter.”
The woman who first praised the peaches took the lead and said, "I think so too, the melons in Xincun are the sweetest.
“I guess those melons were blessed by the princess, but they are different from the melons grown elsewhere.
“I heard that the people in Xincun fled from the north, and they were able to survive thanks to the blessing of the princess on the way.
“I was chased by barbarians outside the dock, and the whole village was almost destroyed. At the critical moment, Marquis Xinting arrived and protected everyone.
“But the Marquis of Xinting is also willing to protect the people in Xincun because he likes the princess and treats the princess as his own daughter.”
Others didn't think much about it. After all, it was just gossip, and they didn't say anything bad about the Li family.
Someone responded: "So, the princess is indeed blessed!"
Outside the door, Jiayin followed the guide woman and walked along the verandah on the left, and happened to hear this passage clearly.
She frowned slightly.
It’s not that I don’t like being the target of other people’s gossip, it’s just that I instinctively feel that there is something wrong with these compliments...
