Jin Qianqian never imagined that merely inheriting an estate would mysteriously grant her a spatial dimension. Unsure of where the space led—to an apocalypse, transmigration, or endless survival sc...
Chapter 191 192. Find
Gu Wenheng and Jin Qianqian have not had a peaceful year at all. The time to go back is getting closer, and many things here need to be arranged in advance.
Although he had the indentures of the craftsmen in the glass workshop, it was still a problem to take so many people back and resettle them.
What's more, the glass workshop has been put on track, so it is really not appropriate to touch it.
Gu Wenheng fell into deep thought. With others here, if there was an emergency, they could find a way to solve it immediately.
But at that time, the distance was so far that no matter how good the cover was, it would be noticed after a long time.
Jin Qianqian saw that he was frowning and gently stroked his brows with her hand. "Look at you all day, you're almost turning into an old man."
Gu Wenheng grabbed her mischievous little hand and said, "Is there such a handsome old man?
I'm just wondering what the glass workshop should do?"
Jin Qianqian sighed, "Haven't you already made up your mind?"
This time, Gu Wenheng looked at Jin Qianqian in surprise, "You guessed it."
Jin Qianqian sat directly opposite him and said, "You are not a reckless person. Without power, you will not directly release the method of making glass.
From your cooperation with Bai Jinglie, I have roughly guessed what you are thinking.
But why are you hesitating now?"
Gu Wenheng pointed to the sky and said, "In addition to power, there is also the imperial power above. Although Bai Jinglie has some blood relationship with the one at the top, he still has the Marquis of Wu'an behind him who is holding him back."
The reason why he would cooperate with Bai Jinglie was because no one dared to mess with him for the time being, but who could tell what would happen in the future?
If he wants to survive here, he has to follow the rules and ways of survival here. He doesn't think he can go against the imperial power.
Jin Qianqian, "This depends on gambling. Bai Jinglie and the interior of Wu'an Marquis's Mansion are not as simple as they appear on the surface.
It is said that the wife of the Marquis has her own legitimate son, but she was able to suppress Bai Jinglie, who is related to the current emperor by blood, and not allow him to be named the crown prince until such an old age. How could there be no hatred between the two sides?
Now let's bet on whether the east wind will prevail over the west wind, or the west wind will prevail over the east wind."
Gu Wenheng, "Although Bai Jinglie is not as simple as he seems, if he follows the schemes of those old foxes, he is still a little short of it.
In this dynasty where filial piety is the guiding principle, it would be difficult for him to turn things around.”
Jin Qianqian shook her finger, "That's not absolute. The fact that he was able to sit on the throne of the Crown Prince shows that it was not only his own doing, but also the will of the higher-ups."
They stayed here for such a long time, and except for the early period when they were fleeing famine, they later briefly sorted out the important interpersonal relationships of the entire dynasty.
Although they could not find out the character and style of these people, the involvement of the relationships between the front and back courts was enough for them to explore.
"Alas, I still feel unwilling," Gu Wenheng also knew that this choice was the best for him, but he still felt unhappy. It was clearly something in his hands, but he had to give it away like this.
Jin Qianqian, "..."

Lunar New Year's eve
Uncle Fu, the new housekeeper who had just taken office, was busy directing the servants to post couplets and hang lanterns everywhere, making the entire courtyard look particularly festive.
Uncle Fu, whose original name was Jiang Zhongfu, was only in his early thirties and was the manager of a wealthy merchant family.
Because of the death of the old rich businessman, several of his descendants began to fight for power. As the confidant of the old rich businessman, Uncle Fu was naturally not liked by the new master, who found fault with them and sold out the entire family.
Jin Qianqian had just asked the human trafficker to keep an eye out for the person in charge, and so she was sent home.
Gu Wenheng even took a quarter of an hour to have an in-depth conversation and get to know the man better, and only then did he get the man back, along with his entire family.
After spending these days together, Uncle Fu realized that although the master and his wife were not as wealthy as the previous owner, their family was simple and there was not so much intrigue.
"You two, put these pots of flowers next to the rockery," Uncle Fu pointed to the pots of flowers and gave instructions, remembering that the hostess liked to take a walk around the rockery when she had nothing to do.
"Butler Fu, there are two people at the door who say they are the young master's nephews." The doorman ran over in a hurry, "Should we inform the lady?"
Uncle Fu immediately guessed who the person was. Although he had never heard of this person, he had already learned about him from the person who served him before.
This young cousin is such a fool. His uncle hasn't been back for so long, and he only remembers to look for him now?
After a change of mind, Uncle Fu immediately turned around and walked towards the study, as if the young master had not gone out today, so he decided not to disturb his wife.

As soon as Gu Lejia and Song Xiuniang entered the house, they felt that their eyes were not enough. Looking at the huge house and the busy servants and maids, their hearts couldn't help but tighten.
Song Xiuniang was also a little nervous. She had dragged Gu Le's family to her mother's house to help since the New Year's Eve. In order to help her younger brother organize the house that she had fought for from her stepmother, she missed the news of her seventh uncle moving.
Looking at this huge courtyard, Song Xiuniang's heart was burning with excitement. It seemed that she had made the right bet to choose the Gu Le family. With such a family background, she was destined to be a wife in the future.
However, they also felt a little resentful. They moved to such a big yard without sending anyone to inform them in advance, leaving them to face the cold and closed door when they returned today. If they hadn't asked the neighbors, the Le family would have been worried to death, thinking that the couple had quietly returned to their hometown.
"Seventh Uncle, why didn't you notify us when you moved? I almost thought you guys had left." Gu Lejia started complaining as soon as she saw Gu Wenheng.
Gu Wenheng continued to look at the book in his hand, "Did you find out today that no one is home?"
Gu Lejia looked guiltily at Song Xiuniang who was following him, only to find that she was constantly winking at him.
"What are you doing here today?" Gu Wenheng then raised his eyes and looked at them. This sudden action frightened them so much that they both froze.
"No, nothing. By the way, which room do we live in?" Gu Lejia began to look around and once again felt that his seventh uncle was a little unfathomable. He had bought such a big house without realizing it.
Gu Wenheng said coldly, "There is no place for you to live here, but the lease of the previous small courtyard has not yet expired, so you can still live there temporarily."
Gu Lejia scratched his ears in disbelief, "Uncle Qi, what did you just say?"
Gu Wenheng, "I think you should just stay in the old house. You will be back home in two months, so you don't have to worry about that."
"How can this be possible?" Gu Lejia looked unhappy. "There is no one over there. How are we going to survive?"
Gu Wenheng looked at him steadily, "You have been working for Chen Dongjia all the time, why? Can't this support the two of you?"
