Chapter 95

Gu Changfeng wasn't angry at all, he just looked at Gu Heng with a smile.

Mrs. Chen had already tidied up. She looked at Gu Heng, naturally very worried, so she said to Zijing, "Zijing, you stay in Tianshui Lane, so that you can take care of Ah Heng."

When Zijing heard this, she was overjoyed, and she quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Mrs. Chen.

"Thank you, Ma'am, I will definitely take good care of the county master."

According to Dayin's rules, a county lord like Gu Heng also has two maids and one servant, but just a few days ago, the queen ordered to reduce the palace expenses and dismissed many maids.

Naturally, the maids and servants assigned to Gu Heng have nothing to say.

Naturally, Gu Heng didn't care, there were many people watching her around her.

Sitting in the carriage, Mrs. Chen said to Gu Heng, "Take good care of yourself. If you really can't do it, our mother and I will secretly pack up and go back to our hometown."

When Gu Heng heard this, he immediately chuckled.

How can they go back to their hometown?

After Mrs. Chen left, only Gu Heng and Zijing were left in the small house in Tianshui Lane. Zijing hurried to cook in the kitchen for fear that her lady would be hungry.

But this girl's level is really limited, she almost blows up the kitchen.

Gu Heng felt sore in his heart, so he said, "Okay, let's go out to eat today, and take a look at their shop by the way."

Bauhinia immediately smiled when she heard this.

In midsummer, the sun was shining at noon, and there were few pedestrians on the street. When Gu Heng walked to the hibiscus flower alley, he couldn't help sighing when he saw the flowers that had gradually faded.

Seeing her young lady like this, Zijing hurriedly said: "When we get to the new house, let's plant various seasonal flowers in the yard."

When Gu Heng thought of the place like a ghost house, he became even more worried.

Gu Heng and Zijing arrived at the outer street of Tianshui Lane, which was full of various shops, but it was extremely lively, Bao Yun and Su Su's shop was at the innermost.

I only saw a big sign hanging on a small shop with four characters written in regular script.

Gu Ji Tianshui, there are many maids and servants lined up at the door, Susu is making sweetshui, Bao Yun is collecting money, and another [-] or [-] is still doing odd jobs.

This is the helper Bao Yun said, so young?
When Bao Yun saw Gu Heng coming, he quickly put down his work and walked towards Gu Heng.

"Aheng, why are you here?"

Gu Heng looked at the two people in full swing, and suddenly felt that if she and the Chen family came to the capital without recognizing their relatives and just opened a small shop here, then their daily life must be more stable than now.

Su Su took a break from her busy schedule to make a cup of milk tea for Gu Heng.

Add ice, sugar, and milk.

This heavy love made Gu Heng feel much better.After being busy for a while, the two of them were finally free.

Bao Yun said: "Ah Heng, a lot of shops like ours have been opened in the past few days, but the business is not as good as before."

Gu Heng said: "It's very easy to imitate this sweet water. Naturally, there will be more people opening stores. It's serious if you research new products."

Susu really loves food, she said to Gu Heng: "I asked someone to inquire about the fairy grass, and after a few days the new sweet water will come out, I..."

Before Susu finished speaking, Gu Heng and Zijing's stomachs rang.

The little helper said with a smile: "Sisters, get hungry, go to the noodle stall opened by my mother and get a bowl of noodles! My mother's craftsmanship is really good."

The little helper's eyes were piercing, and he looked very clever.

Bao Yun hurriedly said: "The child's mother opened a food stall next door, and usually asks this child to help out, but the person she hired before was poached away."

The little helper stood up and led a few people to the food stall.

They sell very common chop suey noodles, that is, noodles that have been lyeed, served with pork offal that has been marinated in advance, and a little green vegetables. The taste is not delicious, but the oil and water are enough.

Many physical laborers around eat this.

Gu Heng ate with gusto. The father of the little helper was doing physical work nearby, and there was a younger brother at home. The four of them rented a very small room. According to common sense, two adult laborers should be able to spend their lives Live more generously.

But the little helper only studied in the private school for one year, and then came out to work.

The little helper's mother was a very nimble woman.

They were eating when a group of yamen servants came to the stall. The little helper's mother hurried over and gave a tenth of the money she earned in the morning to the yamen servants.

Seeing Gu Heng's gaze, Bao Yun hurriedly said: "Our shop is under the patronage of Brother Ah Heng, so we don't have to pay taxes, but if ordinary people want to do business, they must be exploited to death by the officials."

Li Shi, the mother of the little helper, sighed: "Isn't it? The rent in this capital is expensive, and the food, rice, oil and salt are expensive, but since this is the case, it is much better than the following."

Gu Heng knew more or less in his heart.

Taking Linjiang where she lives as an example, there are more than 100 kinds of exorbitant taxes that she knows of. Her mother's business is guerrilla warfare, so she can pay less taxes, but she has never been less exploited by officials.

After eating this meal, Gu Heng felt a lot more at ease.

In any case, what the dog emperor wants to do is righteous. Although the means are not bright, it is what a good emperor should do.

Let's go and see the place first...

Bauhinia took Gu Heng to Tianshui Lane, packed up his things, Gu Heng called the people from Jin Yiwei, and prepared a carriage for himself.

Went to her county lord's mansion.

After arriving at the place, the signboard of Nahu Mansion was replaced with Lingde County Lord Mansion.

The person in charge of ceremonies said that the time was too short, and the cleaning was not finished, only the front yard was cleaned out, and they could stay temporarily.

Gu Heng was not picky, she brought Bauhinia to live in this ten-acre house.

Bauhinia was looking forward to it at first, but when they arrived at this yard, their jaws dropped in shock.

The weeds in the yard and the density of spider webs can be woven.

Moreover, the beams and timbers of many houses collapsed, and the supervisor of ceremonies found her a house, which was considered to be a little better, able to shelter from the wind and rain.

But it can only shelter from the wind and rain.

It will cost a lot of money just to repair this mansion.

Gu Heng was naturally embarrassed to take the money that Mrs. Chen had in hand, and she spent a lot of money in the past few days.

Gu Heng wants to ask Duan Wang for money, otherwise she is too easy to talk to.

But before Gu Heng went to Duan Wang's mansion to find someone, this Duan Wang led the people here.

King Duan was wearing a purple blue robe today, his hair was combed very neatly, and he seemed to be in a very good mood.

Seeing King Duan, Zijing hurriedly bowed and saluted: "I have seen His Highness King Duan."

Duan Wang said with a smile: "I've been a little busy these days, but I didn't come to see you, so don't be angry."

Gu Heng really had an angry expression at this time.

She looked at King Duan, pointed to the house and said, "Fourth Master, open your eyes wide and see, can people live in this place?"
