Chapter 132 Gao Conghui is in high spirits
Li Wanyue's eyebrows jumped. No way, her house was old and small, really not suitable for a rich girl to live in.
"Sister Yue, can I stay at your house for a few days?"
Li Wanyue: Do you trust her so much?
Wiping the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, she said, "Of course I welcome you to visit my home, but my family lives in the countryside and our conditions are not good. If you go, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it. Besides, if people find out, I don't know if it will damage your reputation."
"No, I will go to your house as... your partner and learn the craftsmanship. This way no one will say anything. Besides, I wanted to visit you before, but never had the chance. This is a good opportunity to go, okay?"
Qin Yuzhen almost let the cat out of the bag and glanced at her brother, hoping that he didn't doubt it.
Li Wanyue looked at Qin Yunyi. Would he agree?
Sure enough, Qin Yunyi refused: "Zhenzhen, as an unmarried girl, it is really inappropriate for you to do this, and it will disturb Miss Li's family.
How about this, I will ask Manager Wu to rent a yard next to his house in Qingshi Town. I will live there with you for a few days and bring a few guards and maids to take care of your food, clothing and safety.
Qingshi Town is only half an hour away from Daohua Village, and it only takes an incense stick of time by horse carriage. You can visit Miss Li's house during the day and return to town in the afternoon, which is also convenient and will not disturb Miss Li's family too much."
Qin Yuzhen agreed obediently. What her elder brother said was right. She couldn't ignore the feelings of Sister Yue's family.
Li Wanyue smiled. This Young Master Qin looked really good.
…
The Gao family waited in the teahouse until the sun set before Gao Conghui came back.
The adults present were all experienced people, so they naturally noticed the changes in Gao Conghui.
Mrs. Cui held Gao Conghui's hand and patted her, saying, "Hui, it seems like you are about to get married. What did Master Zhu say? Did he say when to send a matchmaker to your house?"
Gao Conghui was very proud, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but said shyly: "Oh, mother, Master Zhu and I have only met twice, how can we discuss marriage?"
She originally thought that when Young Master Zhu woke up, he would blame her and look down on her.
Unexpectedly, Master Zhu just told her guiltily that he was drunk and did something stupid.
He also said that he fell in love with her the first time he saw her.
He would explain this to his mother after returning home, but his mother came from a wealthy family and would not allow him to marry a peasant girl, so he would need some time to convince his mother.
Be patient and wait for her.
He also said that if his elder brother passed the examination and became a scholar, it would be easier to convince his mother to let his second brother take the exam seriously.
She was so lucky to meet a rich young man with such a good background and who was gentle and considerate.
Gao Conghui was lost in thought. Seeing this, Gao Zhiyuan said, "Mom, don't worry. Xiaohui, have you mentioned me to Young Master Zhu?"
"Brother, I forgot to tell you."
Gao Zhiyuan was disappointed, but then he smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. The most important thing is that you and Master Zhu settle the matter."
As long as his sister marries Young Master Zhu, will he still worry about not being able to go to the county school?
As they were talking, someone knocked on the door again, and a servant walked into the room carrying something.
Putting the things down, the servant said, "Miss Gao, this is something my young master sent you. When you are going home, just tell the shop assistants. The young master has already told them to take you back."
Gao Conghui nodded, and the servant retreated.
She looked at the things on the table: a piece of pink silk cotton material, two boxes of snacks, and a box of perfumed powder, and her heart was filled with joy.
This is silk and cotton. She can finally wear silk and cotton clothes. Young Master Zhu is so good to her.
Mrs. Cui held the silk cotton and touched it, her face full of smiles, and then she saw some yellow marks on the bottom of the cloth.
"Oh my, how come such a fine cloth is stained?"
Gao Conghui felt distressed when she saw this and couldn't help complaining, "It must be those servants who were careless and soiled the fabric."
Liu Ruyun comforted her: "It won't have much impact, the other parts are still good, just cut them."
Gao Conghui sighed. She couldn't offend the people around Young Master Zhu before she married him.
The group returned to the village in a carriage, attracting a lot of onlookers.
Some people were curious: "Did the Gao family get rich? They actually came back in a carriage."
"Yes, you see, we also bought some snacks and cloth. Oh my god, what kind of fabric is that? It looks better than fine cotton."
"I think Gao Zhiyuan was appreciated by the wealthy family. After all, he is a student."
After returning home, Gao Zhiyuan reminded her, "Mom, for Xiaohui's reputation, don't tell anyone about her relationship with Young Master Zhu until their marriage is finalized."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Ding Hong poured a bowl of water and walked up to Gao Conghui in a flattering manner: "Little sister, can you give me the dyed part of your cloth so that I can make a small piece of clothing, and let my sister-in-law benefit from your influence."
Gao Conghui took the bowl and said proudly, "Okay, next time I need help from you, I hope you can do it as soon as possible."
"That's natural."
When Liu Ruyun saw her like that, she felt uncomfortable. She was the daughter of a scholar, with both talent and good looks, and she should be pampered by her family.
If I hadn't taught her poetry, literature and etiquette, would she be favored by Young Master Zhu?
If this sister-in-law was sensible, she should give her a piece of the cloth so that she could make some clothes.
She turned around and wanted to go back to the house to rest, but was stopped by Gao Conghui.
"Second sister-in-law, thank you for teaching me. I will ask my mother to cut a piece of silk for you later. You can use it to make a top or a skirt."
Gao Conghui felt distressed and was reluctant to give it away, but she still wanted her second sister-in-law to continue teaching her poetry and literature, so she should give her some benefits.
Liu Ruyun didn't expect her to be so stingy. One piece of silk and cotton fabric could make at least three sets of clothes, but she was reluctant to give her the material for a full set of clothes and only gave her half a set.
That's great. In that case, don't even think about teaching her with all your heart.
－－－－
It rained for two days, and the air was filled with the fragrance of soil and plants.
After the rain, the temperature has risen and summer is coming soon.
Li Youshan said hello to the person who delivered bamboo shoots to his house and said that he would not harvest them this year and would wait until next year.
Although the villagers felt sorry for losing their income, they were grateful to Li Youshan's family.
Their family helped to process the bamboo shoots, so the villagers could all have enough to eat and the family saved some food.
During this period, some of them earned a few hundred coins, while others, such as those who were close to Li Youshan's family, earned one or two taels of silver.
Not to mention eating a lot,
They are very content and grateful to Li Youshan's family.
That day, Village Chief Li went to Li Youshan's house and his face looked unhappy.
"Brother is here." Li Youshan greeted him with a smile. Seeing that he looked unhappy, he asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Village Chief Li sighed and said, "Dashan, I'm sorry for you."
"What's up?"
"Didn't you say before that the waterwheel is a good thing that benefits the people and should be reported to the head of the village? I reported it to the head of the village. Yesterday, the head of the village called me over and gave me one or two taels of silver, saying that it was his reward to our village. We don't need to worry about other things, and we are not allowed to tell anyone about it."
He knew in his heart that the captain wanted to take credit for the achievement, so he threatened him implicitly and gave him one or two taels of silver as compensation.
Alas, he was sorry to Yue girl.
Li Youshan felt helpless, but they were just ordinary people and no one could afford to offend them. The head of the pavilion also had connections in the yamen.
He advised: "Brother, this matter has nothing to do with you. You just want to save the villagers in other villages from suffering. Yueyue told me a long time ago that this situation might happen. She didn't want to use this to gain credit. You don't need to feel guilty."
Village chief Li felt better now. He took out a tael of silver and handed it to Li Youshan. The two chatted for a few more minutes before leaving.
Li Youshan told Li Wanyue about this. Li Wanyue showed no expression as she had already given the blueprint to Xie Yan.
If Xie Yan has connections, no one else can claim the credit.
Moreover, she only wanted to live a comfortable life and never thought about credit.
