Chapter 207 Chaos arises
Gu Xixi woke up a little, sat up and looked at He Jinglan who was still sleeping beside her.
"Okay, I'll go out and talk to him."
"Let Jinglan continue to sleep and don't call her."
It was the hottest time of the day at noon, and the eaves of the main room were the coolest.
It is especially comfortable when sitting facing the open door, with a breeze blowing in from time to time.
Master Liu held a bowl of cooled tea and drank it.
Shitou sat obediently beside him, answering Master Liu's random questions.
It can be seen that he has long wanted to liberate his nature, but he has no choice but to talk to Master Liu.
Gu Xixi waved Qing'er over and said, "Shitou, take Qing'er out to play. Don't go too far. It's almost time for dinner."
Shitou felt as if he had been pardoned. He happily took Qing'er's hand and ran away.
The stool was vacant, but Gu Xixi didn't sit down. "I was too sleepy this morning, so I had to ask Shitou to deliver the message. I wonder if he conveyed it clearly?"
It was a bit difficult for Master Liu to look up at the person, so he had to stand up and say, "Three sentences, three things, all clear."
"I have finished Mr. He's class."
"Please pile the medicines under the west wall tonight. Someone will take them away before dawn."
Then he took out a stack of silver notes, "One hundred taels each, maybe it will be more convenient to use."
This money was earned from labor, and Gu Xixi accepted it without hesitation, "I will pass it on to Master."
Master Liu smiled. He had long been accustomed to the fact that Gu Xixi's attitude was not very enthusiastic every time she saw him.
Who made it possible that Mu Nanzhao was his boss?
Master Liu continued, "As for Miss He's wish to have the He family come in for protection, the higher-ups have already agreed."
He Jinghui looks cynical, but he is just as meticulous as Mu Nanzhao.
The person he would place next to his only sister must have a clean background and no possibility of betrayal.
Gu Xixi nodded. "In addition to the things you want, there is a separate green bundle containing several boxes of birth-promoting and life-saving pills, with instructions for their use. Can you please help me deliver them to the dependents' village and give them to Aunt Lin?"
Master Liu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly straightened his posture and bowed solemnly to Gu Xixi.
"Boss Gu is so righteous."
Gu Xixi looked away uncomfortably, "Don't say so much useless things. The medicine will be delivered as soon as possible. It will be more effective than anything else."
Master Liu bowed again and said solemnly, "I will arrange carriages and personnel right away, and we must set off tonight."
After the medicine was taken, everything was calm for two days.
Ever since the old bachelor was detained, there has been no more tracking or spying.
As for the fate of the old bachelor.
It was all done by Lao Qian, and it was delivered to the Qingtian County Government the next day.
Because the matter is confidential, the specific treatment afterwards is unknown.
But Gu Xixi didn't care.
But with the disappearance of the old bachelor, new rumors about Gu Xixi from the northwest began to spread in the village.
"Gu Xixi is indeed not easy to mess with"
"She sent another person to jail"
"Let's see, whoever dares to go against Gu Xixi will have a good ending?"
"The next ones to be unlucky will be Master Gu and Master Gu, right?"
…
These were collected by the young intelligence agent Shi Tou.
Gu Xixi just laughed it off.
As long as Master Gu and Master Gu stop making trouble, she won't have the time to beat them up.
In the morning when the sun is not strong and the breeze is gentle, it is the best time to go out.
Gu Xixi looked at the wheat ears that had turned yellow, feeling both at ease and uneasy.
He Jinglan and she looked at the rolling golden wheat waves together, "Is it time to harvest the wheat soon?"
Gu Xixi: "Well, I hope it won't rain by then."
He Jinglan: "An Qinghe went to those orchards and watched them watering the fields. He looked like he wasn't going to leave like me."
Gu Xixi: "You want to stay here forever, and not leave?"
He Jinglan smiled, "If no one chases me away and no one urges me, then I definitely don't want to leave."
She coquettishly leaned over and touched Gu Xixi, "I'm relying on you."
Gu Xixi laughed, "It would be nice if it could always be like this."
He Jinglan knew Gu Xixi's worries, and she was worried too.
My brother, the He family, Mu Nanzhao, Meng Chengping… everyone is on my mind.
But she still smiled and tried to change the subject, "You've talked to An Qinghe, right? What did he tell you? Why don't you urge him to leave now?"
Thinking of what happened in the tea garden that day, Gu Xixi couldn't help but sigh.
She hesitated for a moment, then told He Jinglan the truth, and then said:
"Now he can stay if he wants to, or leave if he wants to. I don't care."
So as to avoid irritating Anqing Heyi and making him say something even more embarrassing.
He Jinglan was amazed and laughed gossipingly, "The Hu people are indeed different from us."
"The more dangerous the time is, the more I can't leave your side!" He Jinglan imitated An Qinghe seriously.
Then he held his heart and laughed foolishly, "What you said is so firm and so sincere that even an outsider like me feels warm inside when I hear it."
"Go!" Gu Xixi pushed her angrily, "If you continue this topic, I will push you down!"
He Jinglan dodged with a smile, "I'm very strong, you can't push me!"
The two laughed and joked, temporarily forgetting their troubles.
At noon, the sun was shining brightly.
He Jinglan fanned herself, "I can't take it anymore, Xixi, can you drink your plum honey tea?"
Gu Xixi put down the medicine bottle and looked up to meet several pairs of extremely eager eyes, the heat of which made her feel even hotter.
"It's been hanging in the well for half a day, it should be cool enough, drink it."
"You go first, we still have to finish this."
Several people cheered and rushed out.
An Qinghe: "I'll pull up the bucket!"
Stone: "I'll go get the bowl!"
He Jinglan: "I'll take the spoon!"
On the table were the hollow hairpin and mechanical ring that Madam Meng had made for Gu Xixi.
Watching Gu Xixi carefully fill the medicine powder in, close it, and then wipe it clean.
Mrs. Meng said, "You have made all the preparations."
Gu Xixi smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "It's better to be prepared. I hope it won't be needed in the end."
In addition to these, the cloth bag she always carried with her was already filled with drugs, anesthetics, and poisons.
Mrs. Meng was silent.
At this time, He Jinglan and others brought in plum honey tea, breaking up the boredom.
Because it had just been taken out of a deep well, the outer wall of the small bowl containing the soup was covered with tiny water droplets.
The soup is dark red, sweet and sour with a hint of tea flavor. A sip of the iced soup is refreshing.
Everyone in the family, from the old to the young, loves to drink it.
He Jinglan exclaimed in delight.
An Qinghe said, "This must be put in our sweet soup shop!"
He Jinglan agreed as she drank, "It's delicious. To be honest, there's no other drink shop in Beijing that can compare to it. You can consider opening a shop and make money."
The tea base for the fruit tea comes from the tea trees grown by Gu Xixi herself.
Summer tea is cheap, has large leaves, and is strong in flavor, making it too bitter to drink directly.
It is suitable for making fruit tea, or making brick tea after fermentation and maturation.
For example, the famous local Fu tea.
While Gu Xixi was thinking, Lao Qian rushed into the yard from outside.
"Xixi, my niece, something big happened in Qingtian County!"
