Liu Qian'er has a new home and a new family.
The Gu family's enthusiasm, attention, companionship and care began to heal the trauma.
From time to time, Gu Qingqing pulled Liu Qian'er to talk about his "big sugar business". Not only did he encourage Liu Qian'er to go out and see the wonderful things outside, he even hoped that Liu Qian'er could help him with his business.
Liu Qian'er didn't know how to refuse, and Gu Qingqing was a sister, which made Liu Qian'er soft-hearted, so she had to come forward and ask Gu to let her go out more.
Mrs. Gu naturally agreed.
At this point, Gu Qingqing's "curvy business" path has been opened.
Liu Qian'er likes to stay in the sugar workshop and watch the sugar precipitate from the turbid water. It seems that people can still maintain their true self after being washed by the turbid water.
Gu Qingqing arranged for the maid to take care of Liu Qian'er, while he went to Gu Yue Mo Pavilion to learn how to do business with Hu Dashan, Hu Hengcai and others.
Hu Dashan and others naturally gave all their money to teach him.
In recent days, the business of Gu Yue Mo Pavilion has suddenly improved a lot. Many scholars, Confucian scholars, and even some officials have gone to Gu Yue Mo Pavilion to buy ink.
This surprised Hu Dashan, but when he saw the young people who occasionally came to see Gu Qingqing, Hu Dashan seemed to understand something. After the young man left, Hu Dashan approached Gu Qingqing, coughed and asked, "Qingqing, who was that just now?"
Gu Qingqing said directly: "You said Zhu Dalang, he is the prince. Didn't my mother tell you?"
Hu Dashan almost fell down.
Sure enough, he is not a simple person. No wonder so many people come to buy ink. The relationship is not for their own business, but for getting to know the prince...
These idiots, the prince is someone you can get to know. The emperor is in his prime years. You come here to think about meeting the prince. There are people reciting poems in the shop. They don’t care about their own level. They hold back a sentence for a long time. "It's a pearl deep in the mountains, but no one cares about it." Those who don't know think you are a pig in the mountains!
No wonder the prince came here, talked to Gu Qingqing and then left, never talking to anyone. These people are really brainless, not only harming themselves but also the prince!
"He, what is he doing here?"
Hu Dashan asked uneasily.
Gu Qingqing turned over a page of the ledger, flipped the beads, and said, "Ask me what else is missing at home, and he will send someone to deliver it."
"That's it?"
Hu Dashan was shocked.
What kind of status does the prince have? Heirloom, the future emperor of tomorrow. Why doesn't he stay in the East Palace and come to greet the Gu family?
Even if Gu Zhengchen made some political achievements in Jurong, it wouldn't be worth the prince's personal visit, right?
Hu Dashan looked at Hu Qingqing who was nodding, and suddenly thought of something, and asked: "I heard that the palace gave a lot of rewards in the past few days, why is this?"
Gu Qingqing dialed the beads and replied with an innocent face: "It is said that my brother sent some cart to the palace. The queen was very happy and gave some rewards. I don't know the specific reason."
Hu Dashan was a little stunned.
The queen has given rewards to the Gu family. What a grace!
"Uncle Hu, can you see if my calculation is correct?"
Gu Qingqing took out the account book, pointed at the abacus and asked.
Gu sent Feng out and saw him get on the carriage before returning to the courtyard. The smile on his face slowly faded. When he went to the study, he called Gu Cheng over. Seeing that there was no one around, he asked: " What exactly did Brother Zhengchen do in Jurong, and why did the officials ask him so many questions?"
Gu Cheng quickly explained: "The master made two new types of carts and arranged for them to be delivered to the palace. According to the news brought back by the county magistrate and others, His Majesty, the Crown Prince and the Queen are quite satisfied with these carts..."
Mrs. Gu sighed: "What I'm afraid of is this satisfaction, and so does he. He doesn't know how to restrain himself. He just solved a big case a few days ago and sent tigers into Jinling with great fanfare. Now he's sending a new cart. It's too outstanding. You go back Tell him not to act so recklessly in the future, let alone make and sell new things at will."
Gu Cheng was a little puzzled: "Master, he did this for the benefit of the people of Jurong..."
"For the good of the people, you cannot ignore the life and death of your own family!"
Gu became stern.
Although Gu Cheng didn't understand why, he quickly agreed to take the message back.
Mrs. Gu was very worried.
In recent times, either the prince, Feng from the Mu Mansion, or even the queen has called her into the palace and asked a lot about Brother Zhengchen. In and out of her words, she was asking about the master behind Brother Zhengchen. who is it.
master?
Gu frowned.
His son himself doesn't know yet, but his only master is his father, but Gu Yan doesn't know how to make sugar, backpacks, or new-style carts.
As for where her son learned the craft, Mrs. Gu was also confused.
All changes started at the beginning of the year.
Brother Zhengchen, who returned home at that time, was in a state of confusion and even jumped into the lake twice. Later, he got sick. After he got better, he seemed like a different person. He was less stubborn and autistic than before, and he was more stable in his actions. ,safe.
It is possible for your personality to change drastically after encountering an accident.
But these new skills cannot be obtained by changing circumstances. Mrs. Gu couldn't figure out where Brother Zhengchen learned it. There was no such talent in Dayan Village.
Now my son is becoming more and more provocative, and people come to ask questions. How should I explain it?
Mrs. Gu was very worried and said angrily: "Tell him that the royal family is asking about the origin of his craftsmanship. By the way, what else is he hiding from me?"
Gu Cheng naturally agreed.
Kunning Palace.
Empress Ma looked at Zhu Chun in the cart and said to Zhu Yuanzhang who was reading a book on the side: "Biao'er has already repaid him. All the skills Gu Zhengchen learned were obtained from the book, and Mrs. Gu also said the same."
"From what I learned in the book, this guy is too smart. Sister, you won't forget it. Gu Qingqing mentioned a Mr. Ma De Cao Ma, and said that Gu Zhengchen mentioned this person more than once. He is very mysterious."
Zhu Yuanzhang put the book on his lap and picked up the teapot.
Queen Ma chuckled: "Your Majesty seems to have forgotten that according to Gu Qingqing's description, when Gu Zhengchen mentioned this person, he either shouted at the sun or gritted his teeth in anger, which made it clear that Mr. Ma was not a good person."
Zhu Yuanzhang faced the spout of the pot, took two sips of tea, and said comfortably: "That's right, when we yelled at the sun, we were cursing. I don't know why Gu Xiaozi cares about Mr. Ma so much. That's all. The school inspection will only be carried out once. If we can find out, we will find out. If we can’t find out, we will let it go. Liu Ji can also know astronomy and predict future events. If we can tolerate him, why can’t we tolerate a boy who is full of magic tricks? "
Empress Ma pushed the cart and comforted Zhu Yuanzhang: "When we conquered the world, many generals surrendered, but Chongba still dared to sleep soundly in the camp. Now that the country is in control, how can he be timid? As long as Gu Zhengchen is loyal, why bother? Ask him where he came from, isn’t the talent already in your mind?”
