Chapter 365 366. Yang Muxiu

Gu Wenheng took one look and smiled knowingly, "This is the first time they have come to provoke us since we arrived in Shangjing. We should give them a good beating."

I believe that with this deterrent, those who are ready to make further moves will be able to retract their claws.

Jin Qianqian nodded in agreement. These days, when she went out to attend banquets, many people mentioned openly or secretly that they wanted to buy shares.

Everyone wants to pick these ready-made peaches, but it depends on whether the owner is willing to cooperate.

"There is one more thing. This bookstore has told some very interesting stories these days. I have asked the housekeeper to pay them, and the price is quite good. After receiving the cash, these scholars are in high spirits. I guess more people will submit their works next time.

It’s just that the speed of this manuscript is too slow and the printing cost is high, so I’m thinking about whether I should…”

Gu Wenheng grabbed her hand at this time, "Wait a little longer, now is not the right time."

Jin Qianqian didn't ask any more questions. She just nodded and started talking about other things.

Yang Muxiu, the manager of Haicheng, came to Shangjing with the harvest from the farm.

Jin Qianqian looked through the list and said, "The farm that Prince Bai moved to before is pretty good. The harvest is two levels higher than other farms."

Yang Muxiu said, "Madam, most of the farmland is top-quality farmland, and the farm owner is also a good farmer. He leads the farmers to manage the farm very well."

Being praised by the master, Yang Muxiu naturally wanted to promote the hero behind the scenes.

Jin Qianqian still feels a little regretful because the farm was changed so hastily that she didn't have time to go and take a look in person.

"That's a reward. Qingmei will prepare a reward for you later and have Butler Yang take it back to the village head.

Is everything okay in the courtyard in Haicheng?" Jin Qianqian really missed the courtyard in the south and the warm spring.

Winter is coming to Beijing soon, and we will need courage to go out then.

"My lady, everything is normal." Yang Muxiu hesitated for a moment, then spoke up, "It's just that the brother-in-law of the young master of the Le family came to our house several times and made trouble, asking us to return his sister to our family."

Jin Qianqian frowned, "Could it be that after all this time, Song Xiuniang has not communicated with him?"

Yang Muxiu, "I don't know, but sometimes he makes too much noise, and those around him who don't know the whole story are secretly accusing our family of bullying. I'm afraid that if this continues, it will damage the reputation of our family."

The news that Gu Wenheng had won the top spot in the imperial examination had already spread to the local Yingshan Academy. Not to mention their current courtyard, even the price of the house they had rented before had increased.

Now that this person has become famous, he has received more attention. Because more and more people have been pointing fingers at him recently, Yang Muxiu feels that he still needs to tell the host about this matter.

Jin Qianqian, "Don't hide the things that happened between the siblings before. Let everyone judge for themselves.

As for Song Xiuniang's family, you don't have to pay any attention to them. They are the kind of people who are always pushing their luck."

Yang Muxiu said, "I have thought of this. After all, you and Madam are not there, and I am afraid that he will use the name of relatives to ruin the reputation of Madam and Master."

Jin Qianqian nodded in appreciation, "You handled this matter well. If it gets too much, then report it to the authorities directly. Don't encourage their arrogance."

Yang Muxiu nodded repeatedly and told some news from Haicheng before following Butler Fu to retreat and rest.

Jin Qianqian looked at the dried seafood that she brought along this time, and selected some to send to a few families with whom she had frequent dealings, and she also thoughtfully attached some recipes.

After thinking about it, I also prepared some gifts for Li Cuicui and some elders in Gaoling Village. I thought that this was the first year I couldn't go back, so I might as well prepare the New Year gifts before it snowed.

Of course, along with these gifts, there was also a letter from home.

&

"Mom, are you going to Beijing?" Liu Liu exclaimed after hearing the letter. This was the seventh son's wife inviting the old lady to Beijing to celebrate the New Year.

Li Cuicui looked at her daughters-in-law who were looking forward to it, "You guys want to go too?"

Liu Liu nodded quickly, "Of course I did. I'm going to the capital to accompany my mother, so I can serve you."

"This Seventh Sister-in-law didn't invite us, so you're so shameless to follow her." Wang Caiyue said sarcastically, "Besides, they are now a wealthy family, and they may not be willing to receive a poor relative like you."

"Second sister-in-law, you are so sour when you say that," Li Xiaohua immediately retorted, "Stop saying those sarcastic things all the time. Seventh brother's wife has been very kind to you, so stop criticizing others behind their backs all the time.

Besides, you don’t understand the relationship between us and Seventh Brother’s wife. How do you know that she won’t want to receive us? Besides, we are not the poor relatives that some people say we are. ”

After Li Xiaohua finished speaking, she opened her hands, which were covered with rings and glittering gold bracelets.

Wang Caiyue felt like she almost couldn't breathe. These sisters-in-law were really worthless. They dressed up gorgeously in front of her all day long, deliberately showing off in front of her.

Li Cuicui saw that several people were about to fight again, "Don't fight here, I'm not going anywhere, I'm just staying here."

"Mom, this is such a great opportunity, and it's rare that my seventh brother's wife has invited us. It would be such a shame if we don't go." Xie Ruyi helped persuade the old lady. As a woman, and since she became a mother-in-law, she could better understand Li Cuicui's difficulties.

Her three sons can make their lives so exhausting, and I don’t know how the mother-in-law managed to survive all these years, not to mention that she has a terrible spouse.

She immediately realized that her seventh brother's wife wanted to invite the old lady at this time, probably because her father-in-law had not returned home yet, so she asked this, right?

"Yes, let's go and take a look now while the weather is not too cold. If you feel you can get used to it, you can stay longer. If you are not used to it, there are so many escort companies coming and going, and at most you will just waste a few days on the way." Gu Yuanjin also agreed with his mother going out for a walk. If he could get away from here, he would have been tempted.

With so many people persuading her, Li Cuicui was really tempted.

"It's just that this will cause trouble to your seventh brother and his family. Don't let an old woman like me delay their business."

"Mom, why do you think so? The seventh brother and his wife are the most filial. They will be happy if you can go there.

If you are worried, I will put aside what I am doing and go with you." Gu Yuanshui immediately came to the old lady's side and put his hands on her shoulders.

"I think you guys care more about it than I do. You said you're accompanying me, but you're just lying. Go and see for yourself!" How could she not know the personalities of her own sons? As soon as the fourth child opened his mouth, she guessed it.
