Chapter 281: Marquis Mansion Crisis
Chapter 281: Marquis Mansion Crisis
According to the plot in the book, the Huns would attack the capital in early spring. Gu Changqing died at this time. He was seriously injured and was provoked by Lin Wanhui, so he died before autumn.
Now the Huns are blocked outside the pass by the troops of Gu Zixuan, Liu Cong and He Bi. No one has come, Gu Changqing is not dead, but Lin Wanhui has gone to Zhuangzi. What about her own fate?
If the Huns hadn't come, would I have lived to a ripe old age?
Although I don't believe in ghosts and gods, I should still be nicer to my original body. Maybe it can save my life in a critical moment?
Su Jin was lost in thought and didn't notice that the lit incense became a little brighter when she left.
The news of Lin Wanhui's coming soon reached the ears of Gu Sui Yu and Gu Zilu. The two children even came over to chat with Su Jin in person. While chatting, they checked their mother's expression. When they saw that there was really nothing wrong with Su Jin, the two left.
However, after the two people left, they were acting secretively and no one knew what they were doing. It was not until the evening that Su Jin found out that the two children called Ning Ruolan just to have dinner with her.
She said she was worried that Lin Wanhui's matter would affect her mood, so she just wanted to help her relax.
Su Jin couldn't help but sigh that she hadn't done anything much for the two children, but the two children really treated her as their own mother.
"Aunt, I brought delicious food and good news."
The hot pot restaurant that Ning Ruolan and Gu Suiyu opened together finally set up a barbecue stall in April.
This thing produces a lot of smoke, so when you grill outside in hot weather, the smoke can be dissipated and the smell can also attract customers, killing two birds with one stone.
Su Jin was more interested in the food. She stretched her neck to look over here. After seeing it, she exclaimed, "She is worthy of being the heroine."
They didn’t just bring delicious food here; they brought all the snack stalls from the night market here!
Fragrant deep-fried pork chops, beautiful bowl-shaped cakes, grilled gluten, fried cold noodles, iron plate shrimp balls, mouth-watering chicken, fried rice noodles, octopus balls...
Su Jin's saliva was flowing out.
Oh, heaven and earth, the gods must have heard her prayers and knew that she had been craving these things for a long time, so they let the heroine bring them to her!
Oh dear, let her take a bite of the grilled gluten, let her take a bite of the octopus balls...
Oh my god, it’s really perfect!
Su Jin covered her chubby cheeks while eating, and the food was so delicious that she wanted to cry.
Seeing that Su Jin was enjoying her meal, Gu Sui Yu and Gu Zilu finally felt relieved.
Whether Lin Wanhui came or not, they could not stop her because it was the mother who wanted to see her. After all, mother was a sentimental person. Even though Lin Wanhui targeted her everywhere, mother still met Lin Wanhui in the end because of their former sisterhood. One can only say that mother is such a good person!
The two children were obviously overthinking it, but their filial piety was real.
“Are these all the things from your barbecue stall?”
While eating, Su Jin looked at Ning Ruolan and Gu Suiyu.
The two smiled at each other, and Gu Suiyu said, "Only this gluten and fried cold noodles are available, but the quantity is not large and the price is very expensive."
Food was precious in ancient times. Where could we get so much flour to make gluten and cold noodles for the two of them?
However, the Ning family and the Gu family are not short of money, so they can do this business.
"Our high-end club is scheduled to open on the sixth of next month. Auntie, you must come on the opening day. I will give you a super VIP treatment!"
High-end club?
Finally opened?
Su Jin's eyes lit up, but thinking that he didn't want to reveal his identity, he pretended to ask, "What is VIP?"
Gu Sui Yu patiently explained the question, and Su Jin pretended to nod, and the matter was thus resolved.
However, she was really interested in high-end clubs.
This meal was extremely enjoyable. The food Ning Ruolan brought was extremely delicious, and Su Jin ate so much that he was almost full.
After seeing Ning Ruolan off, Gu Zilu pulled her aside and said, "Mother, the wheat is almost ready for harvest. Tian Lao San estimated that the yield has at least tripled."
Hearing this, Su Jin's hands trembled violently.
She looked at Gu Zilu with surprise.
The young man's face was filled with uncontrollable joy. Although he was usually a steady person, he couldn't help but have his eyes shining.
The increase in grain production is definitely a great thing that benefits both the country and the people. If we think more deeply, can China further expand its influence?
However, these things are not something Su Jin can think about. As a woman, she cannot worry about them.
"Really? That's great news. Can we collect it right away?"
It is May now. The wheat will mature in June and can be harvested in half a month.
Gu Zilu couldn't suppress the joy in his heart and nodded: "Yes, it's all over now. Sir Xie will go to guard it as soon as he finishes the court, for fear that something unexpected will happen in the end."
Xie Huiguang?
Su Jin was surprised to realize that he hadn't seen this handsome boy for some time. It turned out that he had gone to the farm to guard it.
People in ancient times were really lovely. They were so attentive and serious in everything they did.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a voice from outside. Yuchuan came in holding a wooden box and said, "Prince Rui sent someone to send something to the young lady."
For her?
Su Jin took it and opened the box. It was wrapped with thick cotton. He unwrapped the cotton and found a small porcelain bowl inside, covered with a lid.
Su Jin didn't know what it was. When she took it out, it felt icy cold and very cold to the touch.
Su Jin's heart moved. Could it be...
She quickly opened the lid, and sure enough, there was something like shaved ice inside, topped with some unknown juice, and covered with candied beans, candied fruit, and delicious snack crumbs.
Yuchuan and Jinchuan beside them also saw the delicious ice cream, and both of them smiled. Su Jin even raised his head and asked, "Where is the person who delivered the gift?"
Yuchuan said, "The gatekeeper said that she will leave after delivering the things."
Su Jin nodded. The weather has been getting hotter recently. It was especially hot today. There was not a single breeze outside the house. It was stuffy just sitting in the house. At a time like this, eating a bowl of shaved ice would be the most refreshing thing to do.
But at this time, shaved ice was called Bingjian and had become a cold drink enjoyed by wealthy people.
Su Jin didn't act pretentiously. He asked someone to bring a spoon and started eating bite by bite.
The ingredients of Bingjian are very rich. When Su Jin was eating it, she found that it was first poured with a layer of milk, and then with plum water. The sweet and sour milk flavor is very delicious. Add in the candied beans and various candied fruits, and it is simply too delicious.
After Su Jin finished eating the Bingjian, her mood completely improved.
As for Lin Wanhui, who cares? She has already gone to the manor and she probably won’t cause trouble for me again in this life.
Very good.
As for the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, it is pretty good now, at least Gu Changqing thinks it is pretty good.
Lin Wanhui was driven to the farm, and all of Gu Changqing's favor went to Sun Yuan.
Sun Yuan was indeed a good housekeeper, and she quickly managed the Yong'an Marquis Mansion in perfect order. However, after getting everything under control, Sun Yuan discovered that the Yong'an Marquis Mansion was not as glamorous as it seemed.
