Gu Chenxi nodded and said, "It's all ready now. By the way, Miss, I've already found people to work tomorrow, and they'll be here tomorrow."
Gu Chenxi remembered everything Gu Lili told her and carried it out.
Today, Gu Chenxi did the things Gu Lili had asked her to do. After finishing those tasks, she went to the beach with Gu Yanyu and Li Qimu to collect seafood.
So, when Chang'an saw Gu Lili return, he also came over.
"Lili, Chenxi also went to collect seashells today, but she refused to pay me." Chang'an said, handing the day's details to Gu Lili.
Gu Lili took a look and realized that Gu Chenxi had picked up quite a lot today.
We collected five pounds of snails alone, and ten pounds of oysters.
Gu Lili glanced helplessly at Gu Chenxi. If she had known that Gu Chenxi was so restless, she would have taken her to the restaurant. At that time, Gu Lili could have kept an eye on Gu Chenxi.
Gu Lili had been saying several times this morning that we didn't have to do any work today.
Gu Chenxi scratched his head a little embarrassed by Gu Lili's gaze and said, "Girl, I feel bored when I'm idle. I like to work!"
No one is born liking to work.
When you're at home, you work because if you don't work, you won't have anything to eat.
He worked at Gu Lili's house because he felt guilty.
Yes, it's guilt.
She felt that Gu Lili had spent so much money to buy her, so if she were to become idle, wouldn't Gu Lili be at a loss?
A few days earlier, while working in the fields, she overheard something.
That was when Gu Lili's father died on the battlefield, the imperial court only gave him ten taels of silver.
He was still a young and strong man!
Gu Chenxi, a mere immature girl, felt she wasn't worth five taels of silver.
Therefore, she had no choice but to work desperately to make herself valuable.
“If you like doing it, then do it, but you have to accept the money!” Gu Lili continued without allowing any refusal. “That’s the rule in our family. If anyone has free time to pick seafood, I’ll charge them by the pound.”
Gu Chenxi was somewhat embarrassed.
"But, girl, I don't spend any money on food and lodging, so I have no use for you."
That's true; Gu Lili had Gu Huanhuan make all the clothes for her.
"Then you can keep it as your dowry!" Gu Lili said with a smile as she looked at Li Tiansheng not far away.
Gu Chenxi followed Gu Lili's gaze and her face instantly turned bright red with embarrassment, as she thought of what had happened this morning and last night.
Gu Chenxi quickly withdrew her gaze, her eyes red, and said, "Miss, please don't make fun of me anymore. I will serve you for the rest of my life."
Li Tiansheng is so wonderful; he deserves someone better to be with him.
Now that she is considered a slave, how could she be worthy of Li Tiansheng?
When Gu Lili saw that Gu Chenxi's eyes were red, she quickly said, "Chenxi, I was just joking. How did it make you sad?"
Gu Lili grew up under the red flag, so it's understandable that she couldn't comprehend how cruel feudal times were to women.
The mere fact that her father wanted to sell her into a brothel that day was enough to make her feel ashamed in front of Li Tiansheng.
Gu Chenxi sniffed and forced a smile, saying, "It's nothing, it's just that if you keep saying things like that, I feel like you don't want me anymore."
Upon hearing what Gu Chenxi said, Gu Lili immediately grabbed her arm.
"Yes, yes, yes! Such a beautiful sunrise, I definitely want it!" Gu Lili said playfully.
Gu Chenxi was a year older than Gu Lili, so Gu Lili could easily act cute.
Chang'an, standing to the side, looked at Gu Chenxi with envy as he watched Gu Lili.
Sometimes, being a woman isn't so bad!
Gu Lili casually stuffed the money into Gu Chenxi's hand and said with a smile, "If you're not saving for a dowry, then save it to buy some cosmetics and jewelry."
Gu Chenxi thought about it and then decided to accept it.
With this money, she could buy some fabric to make shoe soles for Gu Lili.
Her hands were rough and she couldn't embroider, but she could still sew shoe soles.
It was still early, so Gu Lili and the others learned kung fu from Chang'an for a while before Gu Yun Chu mysteriously called Gu Lili to the main room.
"Yun Chu, what are you doing? Why are you being so secretive?" Gu Lili said, somewhat displeased.
Having practiced kung fu for a long time, she was covered in sweat and was about to take a shower when Gu Yun Chu called her back, which annoyed Gu Li Li.
Gu Yun Chu chuckled and said, "Sister, these are the accounts for the past few days. Take a look and see if my calculations are correct."
In the past few days, Gu Lili only casually flipped through the account books a few times, leaving almost all the work to Gu Yun Chu.
Gu Yun Chu asked Gu Li Li to take a look because the amount of money in the ledger really shocked him.
He found it hard to believe. Although he had calculated it several times and the result was the same, he was still afraid that he had made a mistake.
Gu Lili took the order and frowned deeply as soon as she glanced at it.
Gu Yun felt a chill in her heart. Had she miscalculated?
"Sister, is there something wrong?" Gu Yun Chu asked cautiously.
Gu Lili rolled her eyes at Gu Yun Chu and said, "Didn't I tell you to practice your handwriting when you have time? It looks like scribbles!"
He then handed the flashlight to Gu Yun Chu, gesturing for him to help light the way.
He then took out a charcoal pencil and paper from his sleeve.
Gu Lili was seen writing and drawing on the paper, all of which were characters that Gu Yun Chu did not recognize.
Gu Yun Chu muttered under her breath, "You said I was writing nonsense, but I don't think you're any better."
Gu Lili wrote in Arabic numerals, so it's normal that Gu Yun Chu couldn't understand them.
From the perspective of this era, Gu Yun Chu's handwriting is indeed more like scribbles than Gu Li Li's.
Gu Lili was busy doing the accounts, and it was unclear whether she heard Gu Yun Chu's complaints.
After Gu Yun Chu finished speaking, she quickly stuck out her tongue.
Next time, keep those words to yourself, otherwise his little head will suffer terribly.
Gu Lili calculated carefully, and soon she had figured it out.
The total is 162 taels and 320 cash.
It was exactly the same as Gu Yun Chu's calculation.
Gu Lili finally showed a look of relief. Although Gu Yun Chu's handwriting was not very good, he did a good job of calculating accounts.
"Not bad, Yun Chu, you got it right." Gu Lili praised without reservation.
Gu Yun Chu was initially worried that he had miscalculated, but after hearing what Gu Li Li said, he straightened his back.
"That's for sure! Don't you know whose brother I am?" Gu Yun Chu said angrily.
Gu Lili was very pleased with these words.
Gu Yun Chu's head was spared from death because of that flattering remark.
