Gu Yunxiao waved his whip and quickly drove the carriage straight to his home.
The carriage stopped outside the courtyard, and she quickly took out the things in the space.
Then, she shouted loudly to the courtyard: "Mom, sister, I'm back."
Hearing her cry, the two sisters and Detective Wang ran out.
Gu Yunxiao asked curiously: "Brother Wang is also at home. Didn't you go out to the stall today?"
When several people saw it was her, they all said: "Brother, don't you know? The pastry business at home is booming. It was sold out as soon as I went there in the morning. I can't do it at home." After Brother Wang closed the stall, he also Come help me make more pastries, and I can sell more money tomorrow."
I see!
Gu Yunxiao said gratefully: "Thank you so much, Brother Wang!"
Captain Wang, also known as Wang Bin, said honestly: "Brother, you're welcome. Your pastry recipe is good and it tastes delicious. I didn't do anything. Besides, I have nothing to do when I go home. I'm here to help and sell more pastries." , I can also earn more money.”
This is true! Gu Yunxiao found that he had found the wrong person, and Wang Bin's character was not mentioned.
Hearing familiar voices in the yard, their mother and grandmother came out. Seeing that she was back, the eyes of mother and daughter suddenly turned red, and the words in their hearts blurted out, "Yunxiao, I finally hope you are back..." "
Next, the whole family worked together to move the gifts in the car.
Wang Bin saw the Gu family enjoying themselves and said proactively, "Brother Gu, I'll take the carriage back to the county office and go home."
Gu Yunxiao said hurriedly: "Brother Wang, wait a moment, there is a gift for you, I will find it for you."
"Don't worry, I'll come here every day. You can rest first."
Gu Yunxiao quickly thought that Brother Wang must have been moved by the scene and thought of his mother at home.
She said hurriedly: "Then I will ask the girl to deliver it to your home later."
"No, I'll come over after delivering the carriage."
"OK!"
After sending Brother Wang away, Gu Yunxiao simply arranged the things, giving all the fabrics to his mother and the cakes to his sister.
Of course, I didn't forget to leave two packages of pastries and a piece of fabric for Brother Wang.
Finally, she distributed golden melon seeds to the whole family.
Give grandma two.
Give six to the mother, including two younger brothers, and ask the mother to keep them safe.
Two sisters each.
I gave Brother Wang two more golden melon seeds, and after all the calculations, fourteen golden melon seeds were given out.
After doing the math, I only have twenty-six golden melon seeds.
Although I feel distressed, I am very happy.
She said in a showy tone: "You must take good care of these golden melon seeds. They are a reward from the emperor."
Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up. Unexpectedly, Gu Yunxiao went to the imperial city and received a reward from the emperor.
Gu Yunxiao felt tired and said, "Okay, I'll take a nap first, and I have to do some errands when I get up."
"Brother, have you eaten?"
"I arrived at the Yamen first and came back after dinner. Don't disturb me."
Gu Yunxiao yawned, went back to the room, lay down, closed his eyes and fell asleep quickly.
Perhaps because there was something on her mind, more than an hour later, she opened her eyes.
It feels very quiet in the house, and everyone at home is seriously making pastries next to the two earthen ovens in the yard.
She stood up and walked to the opposite door.
I saw my two younger brothers sleeping soundly. They had obviously grown up a lot, and their chubby faces were red.
She smiled happily. With her grandmother's help, her mother could relax a lot.
She walked to the yard and asked with concern: "By the way, have you bought a cow or a goat?
Gu Yunlan said dullly: "Brother, it's hard to buy cows, so my family just bought a dairy goat. Brother Wang asked someone to buy it."
Gu Yunxiao nodded and said: "It's okay to have a milk goat to use first. By the way, mother, is your milk enough for my brothers to drink?"
"It's not enough after the full moon. Thanks to the goat's milk at home, let's give them some."
Gu Yunxiao felt relieved, remembering that he had plundered all Zha Nai's wealth before leaving for the imperial city. Did they come to cause trouble?
She continued to ask with concern: "Are Nai Nai and Uncle Zha making trouble again?"
Wang Meihua sighed: "Here they come, they are talking nonsense, saying that we stole the money from the old house. Yun Lan criticized them, didn't they say that the family has no money? Why did money come out again? They were unreasonable and said that those were Your uncle has accumulated it over the past few years. Thanks to Wang Bin who was wearing policeman's clothes at home, they went back without making any fuss."
Gu Yunxiao immediately yelled, "Bullshit! They took that money from dad."
Wang Meihua looked at her in surprise and asked, "Half of your father's salary is given to me on a monthly basis to support the family. How can he still have money?"
Gu Yunxiao explained patiently: "Mom, I only learned after I became a head catcher that there is gray income in our industry. Of course, my father also has gray income when he is a head catcher."
She sighed and continued: "As the saying goes, children who cry have milk to drink. Zha Nai and Uncle Zha often come to dad to complain about their poverty. For money, they are willing to be lowly and silent, and pretend to be pitiful. Dad can't bear it. , I gave them all my gray income, and they are still not satisfied. It’s pitiful that our whole family has been living a hard life these years.”
Wang Meihua asked in surprise: "Yunxiao, how did you know?"
Gu Yunxiao felt bad and couldn't continue talking. He had to say good things to his father, otherwise his mother would definitely feel uncomfortable.
"Mom, I overheard what grandma and uncle were saying. They played tricks and tricks to fool dad, so dad had to give them money again and again. In fact, dad has always been very guilty towards us mother and daughter."
Wang Meihua's frown gradually relaxed and she said, "Mom, I understand, there is nothing he can do if the word "filial piety" kills someone."
My mother is so kind!
What a lie!
Grandma said beside her, "Mei Hua, your mother-in-law and uncle are full of evil intentions, and your son-in-law has been plotted by them."
Gu Yunxiao felt happy that all the money was in her space.
But he pretended to be mysterious and said: "Mom, the scumbag nanny and the scumbag uncle never dreamed of it. Even God couldn't bear to see it. They took back the property they calculated. It feels good to think about it."
Wang Meihua completely relieved her heart and said: "As the saying goes, good people are rewarded. They are so bad, of course God cannot spare them."
"that is!"
Gu Yunxiao complained in his heart: Dad has been deceived all these years because he believed the words of Nai Nai and Uncle Zha.
She sincerely disagrees with such foolish filial piety.
Then I thought about my father being a native. I never thought that for the sake of money, human malice could expand to the point of annihilating conscience.
The kind-hearted mother has lived through so many years of hardship and doesn’t know who is at fault.
If Dad knew anything, he would definitely regret that he had fattened up a bunch of white-eyed wolves over the years.
She originally wanted to find out whether her father cared about her family, but she decided to buy land and a house in the past two days and wait until she had time.
"I forgot to tell you one thing. I sold the recipe for making pastries and meat sauce for one thousand taels. In a few days, someone in my family will come to learn how to make pastries. I want to use the money to buy a bigger yard, and I want more. Buy some land..."
Before she finished speaking, she found that everyone was in a daze.
He said doubtfully: "What's wrong with you? Isn't this a good thing?"
Gu Yunlan asked with fear on her face: "Brother, if you sell the formula, will we no longer be able to make pastries?"
Gu Yunxiao suddenly laughed. His family members must have thought so too, so they looked shocked.
She comforted: "Don't think too much about it. The buyer has said that they are opening a pastry shop near the Imperial City. It will not affect our opening of a shop here in our hometown."
Everyone's nervousness suddenly relaxed.
Suddenly, Gu Yunlan sniffed, quickly remembered something, and immediately turned off the fire and opened the oven cover.
While busy, he said: "It's almost burnt. Brother is right, this money is like picking up money for nothing. Didn't you say something happened? You have to go and don't make trouble in this sudden surprise."
Gu Yunxiao didn't expect to be disliked by his sister, so he said to himself: "Then I will find someone to buy a house and land near the county town, and I will also hire a few long-term workers to plant the land as soon as possible."
Wang Meihua suddenly became anxious and said, "Yunxiao, can you do these things alone? Why don't you go with me?"
"Mom, don't talk about such a trivial matter. Even if I go to the imperial city to see the Marquis, I won't be afraid. You can rest assured."
Grandma took her daughter's hand and said, "Meihua, Yunxiao is a kid who is aggressive and responsible, so don't worry about it."
Wang Meihua remembered that in the past few months, thanks to her eldest daughter, the family had been able to stand up.
She let go of her nervousness and said worriedly: "Yunxiao, if you don't have enough money in your hand, I have saved up some money from selling pastries these days. I heard Yun Lan say she still has money there."
How pitiful the hearts of parents in the world are!
Gu Yunxiao saw that although his mother was weak, she was sincerely good to him. He wanted to protect her even if he could enjoy maternal love in this life.
She was moved in her heart and said with a smile: "Mother, I know what's going on."
She led the horse out, mounted it and rode straight to the most famous Zhao Ya family in the county.
On the way back, when he had nothing to do, Gu Yunxiao humbly consulted Song Capt. Knowing that Zhao Ya knew his father and the relationship between the two was okay, he should go directly to the other party to build relationships, give benefits, and buy houses and land. You can extract the benefits, so there should be no problem.
It is said that Zhao Ya people know all the houses in the entire county and the surrounding land.
Gu Yunxiao found Zhao Ya's house according to the address given by Song Captou.
As expected of being the largest Ya family in the county, the Zhao family's house has blue bricks to the top and a spacious and spacious yard.
There were several people waiting anxiously in the yard.
Gu Yunxiao thought to himself: How long will this take?
Seeing the courtyard door open, she tied her horse to the fence outside. Just as she was about to walk in, she saw an old man in his fifties sitting on a chair, holding a bamboo pole, blocking her way?
"Who are you? What's wrong?"
Is there a caretaker at Yaren’s house?
Gu Yunxiao was secretly surprised.
I saw several people in the yard listening with their ears open.
She said respectfully: "Uncle, I am the deputy catcher of this county's Yamen, surnamed Gu. I would like to discuss business with Mr. Zhao Ya."
Listen carefully, the old man can tell. Although this boy is young, he speaks very reservedly.
The old man said cheerfully: "Come in and wait!"
"Uncle, thank you very much!"
The old man murmured in his heart: The boy is quite polite when he speaks.
Who doesn't know that Yaren belongs to the lower class, while the catchers belong to the government, and the catcher is the leader among them, and his social status is obviously higher than that of Yaren.
The future achievements of such a young head catcher can be imagined.
The old man thought for a while and quickly walked into the house.
After a while, the door opened and several people came out with smiles on their faces. It was obvious that things went smoothly.
The person who saw the guests off was a middle-aged man in his thirties who looked very smart and capable.
After sending the person away, he respectfully handed over his hands to the guests waiting in the yard and said, "I'm sorry, an old friend is here. Please welcome him first."
Just now, these people heard clearly that this was the county's chief arrester. Although he was young, his status was high.
Moreover, the other party's aura of calmness and dignity, as well as his delicate and handsome face, clearly have family background.
Everyone in Zhao Ya respects each other. What's the point of these ordinary people just waiting a little longer? No one will come out as a villain.
They all humbly said: "Please go ahead, we will wait."
