Su Qi entered the backyard.
Chunhe, Xiahe, Xiaoliuzi's mother, Aunt Mi, and several other women who did rough sweeping came together to kowtow. The women who did rough sweeping looked very unfamiliar, not like they were brought from the capital.
Xiang He walked forward and whispered:
"Second Madam, these are Sister Lin and Sister Yang from Mengjiazhuang, and this is Mrs. Zhang. Sister Lin is the daughter-in-law of the Menglizheng, and Sister Yang is the daughter-in-law of the Meng clan leader from Mengjiazhuang.
Mrs. Zhang's home is not far from here. She and her little grandson are the only ones in the family.
These guys are good at what they do. Manager Yingyi told us to keep them to do some rough cleaning."
Sister Lin, Sister Yang, and Mrs. Zhang kowtowed non-stop, fearing that the lady in front of them would come back and drive them out. The three of them worked diligently, not only having enough food to eat here, but also receiving a monthly salary.
This is a blessing that I prayed for with great effort.
Don't you have to work hard?
Su Qi nodded, "Get up. From now on, all matters, big or small, will be arranged by Xiang He. Just ask Xiang He about matters in my room.
Chunhe is in charge of sewing, Xiahe is in charge of the small kitchen, and Baizhi usually goes out with me.
Aunt Mi is in charge of everything in the yard.
Lianxin will follow Beiting and Beijing, and we will pick a smart one to train for a while. Then, Lianxin will serve Beiting and Beijing together."
Su Qi knew that Bai Zhi had some kung fu skills. She thought that she could also do some protection work when she went out with her.
"yes."
Gu Beiting and Gu Beijing wanted to shake their heads repeatedly.
They both thought they were common people. They hadn't done anything, so why should their sister-in-law worry about them?
However, in front of the maids and old women, the two of them said nothing.
This was the first time Su Qi gave a lecture in the new place. The two knew the severity of the situation and had to follow Su Qi's instructions.
I'll tell Su Qi privately later that they don't need a maid to accompany them. I can also help with needlework to supplement the family income.
We can’t rely on my second brother’s subordinates and friends to support our family.
Su Qi arranged all the matters in the backyard.
Naturally, Gu Beiheng would be in charge of the arrangements for the front yard.
After explaining everything clearly, Su Qi went to the bathroom to take a shower. Inside was a large wooden barrel filled with dried flower petals.
A small basin of silver charcoal was lit in the room. When the room became warm, the basin was removed.
Xianghe came in with some clean clothes.
"Second Madam, these clothes were made by our servants these days. The steward Yingyi said that things are different now, and we have all changed to wearing fine cotton.
"Look, I've embroidered your favorite magnolia flower on it. This is all fresh material brought from the capital, and the cotton inside is soft, dried, and pressed very firmly."
Xianghe was afraid that Su Qi was not used to wearing fine cotton cloth, so she showed it to her.
Su Qi followed Xiang He's hand and looked over. She was wearing a sky-blue fine cotton jacket and skirt, embroidered with a few pink magnolia flowers. The inner garment beside it was also made of fine cotton, and there was also a light yellow padded jacket.
"You are a thoughtful girl. Wash my hair first. It's itchy."
"Hey. I'll be right there."
Su Qi was washing up in the bathroom, while Gu Beiheng had already finished washing up.
He left the backyard and came to the front yard.
First, I listened to Ying Yi and others’ reports, as well as what happened in the Northwest Camp.
Gu Beiheng slammed his fist down on the table beside him, his eyes dark and gloomy. "Are you saying that the capital sent my mortal enemy to take over the Northwest Camp?"
A deep feeling of powerlessness came over him. The Northwest Camp was filled with soldiers with whom he had fought through life and death.
It is also a deadly army that makes the enemy tremble in fear.
Now that Emperor Wu has sent Gu Beiheng's mortal enemy over there, I'm afraid there will be a major reshuffle.
He wanted to clean out all the people inside including Gu Beiheng.
Thinking of his comrades who accompanied him, Gu Beiheng was furious and had to think of a way to prevent them from losing their lives.
Ying's expression didn't change at all.
The dog emperor's actions were really despicable. He wanted to see how the northwest fell into the hands of the enemy. He really thought of that day and pointed at Emperor Wu's nose and mocked him harshly.
"Master, after you left the capital, I received news that Lieutenant Generals Li and Chen were imprisoned for being concerned about a criminal. Their words and actions were outrageous, and they insulted the court officials.
Both were beaten with military sticks and have now been stripped of their positions and demoted to small soldiers guarding the city gates."
When Yingyi said this, he knew that Gu Beiheng would be furious.
Is this the Emperor Wu for whom they sacrificed their lives and blood?
Gu Beiheng's mouth corners twitched slightly, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
Something is about to come out.
But in his heart, he wanted to develop his own power, otherwise he would be a lamb to be slaughtered.
"Yingyi, are you in charge of the housekeeping affairs in the mansion, or are you working beside me?" Gu Beiheng's eyes were grim, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table.
Yingyi knelt down.
"Master. I am willing to stay by your side. I will take charge of the management matters for the time being, and I will hand over the work to the right person when I find one." Ying Yi had a hope in his heart, but he didn't think about it or guess.
Just follow the master's orders.
"Okay. Have Xiaojiu work with Madam and follow her instructions. Xiaoyi likes making money, so have him hand over all our private property accounts to Madam. He'll work directly with her from now on."
Gu Beiheng does business in the northwest.
But Ying Shiyi is in charge of everything, and he doesn't even know what the business is.
Giving all of this to Su Qi was also for the sake of having money to rely on in the future. The money in the space belonged to Su Qi, and as a man, he had to make some money for his wife.
Gu Beiheng was very happy that he had listened to Ying Shiyi and started a business in the northwest border.
Otherwise, he felt that he would have to rely on his wife to support the family and he could only be a soft and helpless man.
Ying nodded in response.
"I will take Xiaojiu and Xiaoyi to meet the Madam later."
"Yes. Also, from today on, forget about Second Master and Second Madam. Just Master and Madam. We've separated from that family, and the eldest master belongs to someone else."
After saying this, Gu Beiheng inquired about the affairs of Zhang Shuishan, the prefect of Jinyang Prefecture, and the old Prince Rongshan.
Wait until everything is done.
It's already evening.
It was the first time that Su Qi and Gu Beiheng slept alone in bed together, and it was a night like this.
Dabao and Erbao were taken to sleep next door.
Su Qi felt a little scared, because her courage was just talk.
Asking her to actually do something is a bit of a coward.
Fortunately, Gu Beiheng seemed to understand that she was tired from the journey, and he just stretched out his arms and held Su Qi in his arms.
A cold voice came from above:
"Qiqi. Go to sleep. You'll have a lot to do tomorrow. You'll also have to look around the village. You still have a lot of things you want to do. Xiaoyi and Xiaojiu will be your errand boys. I'll see how about letting Zeng Wuming follow you."
Mu Chentao is a real character.
He was a well-known figure in Yuezhou Prefecture, and Gu Beiheng wanted to use him elsewhere. Besides, he was a stranger, so he didn't want him to have much contact with Su Qi.
"These two people are enough. We can do business, right?" Su Qi didn't know much about ancient laws, and she couldn't remember the things in the book clearly.
The main reason was that she didn't have time to finish reading it.
"Merchants have a lower status than farmers, so naturally they can engage in business." What Gu Beiheng didn't say was that merchants' families were not allowed to take the imperial examinations, but the wives of the wives in the imperial houses in the capital still secretly opened shops to do business.
Everyone turned a blind eye to it. As long as the men in the family didn't touch on those things, it was fine.
Besides, the ladies in the back house all hired the shopkeeper to run the business, so there is no reason for them to manage the shop themselves.
"That's fine." Su Qi said, turned over, and fell asleep almost at the same time.
Gu Beiheng hugged her, smiled, closed his eyes and let himself fall asleep.
The next morning.
Su Qi was woken up by the sound of birds outside. When she opened her eyes and looked over, Gu Beiheng was already up.
She thought of them moving into their new home.
Su Qi shuddered when she sat up.
cold.
Biting cold.
She remembered that a once-in-a-century cold wave was coming, so she had to put her business plans on hold.
First, we must face this cold wave that has caused countless casualties and think carefully about how to deal with it.
