Su Qi had been busy all morning and was so tired that she couldn't even straighten her back. She took a few sips of tea from the cup Xiang He handed over and said, "Let Xia He and the others cook the rest of the dishes. I really can't do it anymore."
Xiang He smiled at Su Qi and said, "Madam, please go out and have a rest first."
"Where's Beiheng?"
"The master just left the yard and said he was going north." Xianghe took the teacup from Su Qi's hand.
Su Qi frowned.
I walked out of the kitchen and just as I walked out of the yard, I saw a familiar figure walking towards me dejectedly.
Under the sunlight, it is covered with a soft glow.
Su Qi felt a pang of pain in her heart.
Hurried over.
"Beiheng, where have you been?" Su Qi walked over and hugged Gu Beiheng's waist, snuggling herself into his arms.
"Let's go find Gu Wushen." Gu Beiheng closed his eyes and held Su Qi in his arms.
"What did you say?"
Gu Beiheng took Su Qi's left hand in his own and walked back with her shoulder to shoulder.
On the way, he told Su Qi everything Gu Wushen said word for word.
"asshole."
Su Qi couldn't help but curse.
"My mother always tells me to be filial to Zhang Yunyu. This is the person she is grateful to." Su Qi knew that the concubines had a hard time during this period, but there was no need to be so humble.
She was very curious why Liu Qingyin had no self at all.
I couldn't help but feel that it wasn't worth it for Liu Qingyin.
Su Qi, whose hand was held by Gu Beiheng, could sense his loneliness. "Qiqi. Do you think she is still alive?"
Su Qi knew that the "she" Gu Beiheng was referring to was his biological mother, the woman who entrusted her son to a stranger and was taken away.
"Live."
Su Qi wasn't sure.
Gu Beiheng's palms were a little sweaty. "I hope they are all alive."
It would be best if both biological mother and adoptive mother were alive.
Ever since Gu Beiheng knew that Liu Qingyin was his adoptive mother, he felt inexplicably more distressed for her.
I used to think she was confused about many things, but now I don’t have that feeling anymore.
Just a poor woman.
Su Qi didn't say anything, and the two of them walked to the gate of the courtyard together.
Coming from the door was everyone's happy voice.
The two looked at each other, with a temporary tranquility and tenderness in their eyes. They both knew that the tranquility of this Spring Festival would not be seen for a long time.
Su Qi and Gu Beiheng walked into the yard.
Ying Yi walked over and whispered, "Master, there's no movement from Prince Cheng. They've settled down at Eagle's Beak Cliff."
"Yes. After the Spring Festival, let the remaining people on Hulu Mountain set off tomorrow. The mountain must be well defended, and some people must be left behind to prevent anyone from taking over the mountain."
"yes."
Yingyi went out and wrote a secret letter and asked Feiying to deliver it to Hulu Mountain.
The Eagle family is very busy this Spring Festival.
Shen Zhishan and Zhao Xiaomao from the dock, as well as Luo the blacksmith from Taipei City, came together to wish everyone a happy new year.
Yun Xiaobo was also picked up, and the young man lying there was also placed in the courtyard with the girls.
There are people guarding the other courtyard to take care of them.
Shen Zhishan took out a beautifully wrapped box and handed it to Bai Zhi, "This is a gift for my wife."
Blacksmith Luo also took the box and handed it over.
"Ma'am, do you like this?"
Su Qi became curious, and Bai Zhi opened the box at Su Qi's suggestion.
Inside is a very exquisite hidden weapon, different from the Stormy Pear Blossom Needle. This one is tied around the waist and can be used as a belt.
"The dart heads can be removed and soaked in poison."
"This is good stuff."
Su Qi accepted the gifts. Shen Zhishan's were Dongzhu pearls from the South China Sea. Each one was very round and had a golden and pink hue.
There are also a few Dongzhu pearls that are a rare light purple color.
This color is even rarer. Su Qi had seen it in her previous life, but because she had no money, she had never been able to buy it.
Now that I have it, I want to make a set of jewelry to wear.
"Give these purple pearls to Chunhe and ask her to find someone to make me a set of jewelry." Su Qi has a bit of a purple complex and can't help but want to get something purple.
Shen Zhishan narrowed his eyes and thought that gifts should touch people's hearts.
Gu Beiheng touched his nose with his hand. He felt a little behind. He always felt that he was a gigolo, relying on his wife for a living.
"Please sit inside. I've prepared some good wine for everyone to drink today. I wish our trade market a good start next year."
"Madam, I have already found a number of construction workers. We are just waiting for a good day to start the work."
"Thank you very much."
Su Qi smiled and let Gu Beiheng talk to them.
She walked inside to see how the food was.
Yue Jiushao, Yue Qinggang, and Xie Yi came over. "Madam Gu, I heard that the trade market will start construction after the New Year."
"Yes. We plan to start trial operation of the trade market in early summer." Su Qi nodded.
Yue Jiushao raised the corner of his handsome eye, "Madam Gu, how are the shops inside selling?"
“Only for rent, not for sale.”
"Can't we do that too?" Yue Jiushao's mind moved. He wanted to buy some private property and start some personal business.
Su Qi shook her head. "We'll set up a market property management company at that time. It'll be responsible for leasing, and we'll only rent, not sell."
"However, apart from the shops we have left behind, you can choose the shops first." Su Qi thought for a moment and said, "I am confident that the trade market will become the largest trading city in several countries."
"Let's take a share of the business. It will cost a lot of money to build a trade market." Yue Qinggang also spoke.
Is the Gu family short of money?
Su Qi smiled calmly, "Yeah. Others are short of money, but our Gu family is not."
So angry.
This is too arrogant.
Yue Qinggang rolled his eyes. Su Qi said this without worrying about getting her tongue stuck.
The three people looked at Su Qi with suspicion.
Su Qi smiled and said, "Look at how we stabilized the grain market and sent another batch of grain to the county government. You know that the Gu family is not short of these."
Yue Jiushao's mouth twitched coldly, "Then why was the Gu family confiscated and exiled?"
Su Qi shrugged, "Staying in the capital may not be a good idea. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."
After saying that, Su Qi left with his hands behind his back like Su Banxian.
The three people were left looking at each other in bewilderment, "Is this guy possessed by Wong Tai Sin?"
Xie Yi thought about it seriously for a long time, "I plan to rent a few shops." He also left.
Yue Jiushao and Yue Qinggang exchanged glances, then smiled as they linked their arms. "We can't fall behind. Even if we lose, let's just consider it as making friends with the Gu family."
Yue Qinggang nodded, "Okay. Now let's go and talk to Madam Gu."
The two followed.
Pots of spicy hot pot were served on the table, along with pickled fish. Large bowls of braised pork, braised lamb, and roasted roe deer were also served.
Fried vinegar pork, fish fillet, taro...
There are many men in the Gu family.
Everyone loves to eat meat.
The green vegetables only serve as a color accent.
Su Qi didn't sit at the same table with Gu Beihe and the others. Instead, the girls had a table in the next room. Gu Xiuming's mother and several of his favorite wives and maids were also there.
Sitting at the big round table in the middle were Su Qi, Gu Beiheng, Yue Jiushao, Yue Qinggang, Xie Yi, Ke Suanzi, Shen Zhishan, Luo Tiejiang, Mu Chentao, Ying Yi, Su Tianze, and Yun Xiaobo.
This was Yun Xiaobo's first time attending such an event.
I was so excited that I picked up the wine glass and looked for people to drink with.
I haven't seen so many good brothers before.
Relying on his medical skills, he took the alcohol-detoxifying pill first, and then picked up the wine glass with great ambition.
He actually dragged Mu Chentao and Su Tianze into a drinking contest.
These two people are usually quiet, but they never lose when it comes to drinking.
Yun Xiaobo was already feeling dizzy after taking a few bites of the cold dishes before he even had the chance to eat the hot dishes.
Ke Suanzi raised his wine glass, narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Come on, this has brought shame to Yunzhou City. This old man must hold on and not bring shame to Yunzhou City."
Xiao Liuzi and a man at the table next to them came over and helped Yun Xiaobo to sleep in a nearby room.
