After seeing Gu Wan'er, Li Yu went back to the house like a star.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Gu Lei changing his homely clothes and washing his face.

"Where did you go? You have been so busy for a while, how can you do this? You must be exhausted. If you can't finish your work, you can do it tomorrow. Let's wait."

Gu Lei frowned unhappy.

Li Yu entered the room with a smile, took a sip of the tea he handed over, and said, "I really didn't do much work today, but the old relatives went to a few houses and talked about doing workshops. I had dinner with grandpa and the others, and went for a walk with grandpa. By the way, I went to Wan'er's yard and told my mother."

"I just ran around today, and I really didn't do any work. I looked at the account books, and my sister is too frugal. I spend almost no money on this day."

"Oh! Then I spend money like water. The manager of Yue'er shop will come to tailor the clothes tomorrow, send some fabrics, let my sister make a few more clothes, and get some jewelry later."

Seeing her very happy, Gu Lei didn't look tired, so he sat down to talk.

"Have you eaten? There is ready-made food in the kitchen."

"Then you have a drink with me and two light dishes. In fact, I have eaten it too. I ate it with His Highness in the afternoon. I ate early, and my mouth will feel light now."

"Okay, let the small kitchen order all the food, drink two glasses of wine, get my ten-year-old Lihuabai, fry a quail, and make two side dishes."

"Okay, let's arrange it."

After a while, the kitchen delivered fast dishes, fried quail, a plate of stewed meat made in advance, spicy pig's trotters, steamed Sixi meatballs, which were also prepared in advance, and you can eat it once you cook it, plus Two refreshing cold dishes.

"This dish is not bad."

Li Yu glanced at it and nodded, then poured Lihuabai, the wine he brewed himself.

This craft is learned from my mother, and the Li family's good wine is made by the two of them.

Poured a glass of wine for Gu Lei, "Are you busy going to the embankment today? When will it be repaired?"

"It will be repaired until winter this year, and it will be finished next year. Three shifts will work in rotation, and the place will be changed once a month. If they don't do a good job, they will be replaced."

"You came up with the idea."

"I learned from you. I was highly praised by His Royal Highness. There are almost no lazy workers. There are a lot of refugees outside. No matter how much they eat, many people want to come."

"It cannot be used by a group of people."

"Yes, change it, change the place once a month, change the group of refugees, pick the hardest ones first, the old and weak women cook on the embankment, I arranged the chores to repair the embankment this time, His Highness is very satisfied. "

Gu Lei gnawed on the pig's trotters and ate deliciously. He wasn't too hungry but just wanted to have a bite.

After drinking a glass of Lihuabai, he smacked his mouth, "Good wine, Shun Liu, your craft is getting better and better. Is there any good wine left? I'll send some back to His Highness and Princess, and the young masters will also have to pay for it." Sending off, favors and gifts are indispensable."

"Don't worry about it, I'll arrange it, just tell me what I'm missing, and I need to add some extra gifts alone."

Li Yu already had accounts and rules in mind, these were old jobs, so he didn't need to worry about these trivial matters.

"Daughter-in-law, I can save a lot of worry when you come in. I can concentrate on court affairs and learn my skills. I was so tired before... I'm afraid that if I fall, the candle burns at both ends. I can't concentrate. Fortunately, the old generals didn't dislike it." Me, or I'll just play off."

Everyone values ​​him, understands him, and knows that it is not easy for him. In addition, he is down-to-earth, talented, low-key and humble, and has a good character. The old guys really like him and are willing to tolerate him.

"You only need to learn the first court affairs well, and leave the rest to me. You only need to assign tasks, and I will handle the rest. We will divide the work and cooperate, and we can't miss the rules."

Li Yu said with a smile.

"Don't drink this, it's spicy, you drink plum bar."

The servants prepared plum wine, which was Li Yu's favorite drink, and they were familiar with her preferences. The servants were considerate and warmed up two kinds of wine in advance and sent them over.

Li Yu drank a glass of plum wine and nodded, "This year's plum wine tastes good."

"You told Fifth Grandma and the others about the workshop."

"I've said it, and I've also told my grandpa, and bring along a few brothers and uncles. If grandpa says he likes them, he will take them away, and if he doesn't obey, he will be locked up."

"The old man has a high vision, and I'm not top-notch in his heart, let alone men who think carefully, and I'm not willing to speak for them."

"It depends on one's own ability to go to the front. It's the same reason as we use slaves. You see, you have to use Lin Shu and Lynch by your side. Back then, several young men grew up together. They stayed, and the others fell one level behind."

Gu Lei nodded, "That's the truth, but some people in the clan don't understand this truth, and they all think that my grandfather is biased and only I don't care about the clan relatives, but it's not true."

He smashed his mouth and shook his head.

"The Gu family seems to have some connections and influence, but if I can't support my head, even if my father-in-law is protecting me, people will still ignore me, and they will step on my feet severely if they get this opportunity."

"Grandpa is getting old, he can't ride a horse and can't carry a knife anymore. The Gu family doesn't have any outstanding generals to inherit the mantle, and I'm not fit to be a general at all. Now it's the same situation again, the Gu family is much more difficult than the Li family."

Gu Lei drank a glass of wine, feeling a little tired, this kind of tiredness can't be expressed, his heart is tired, there are many crises, and the burden is too heavy.

Everyone is watching and thinking again, whether to hit or lift is all in the mind of others.

You are a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, whether to suppress you depends on whether you are a sheep or a wolf cub.

Many members of the Gu family didn't see these crises and thought they were beneficial and didn't think about them.

Gu Lei couldn't rely entirely on the father-in-law, Boss Li, and Li Jiaerlang stood up in a row, waiting to be supported.

Li Yu didn't speak, she knew that he had endured a lot of grievances silently and held back for a long time.

This is too courageous, losing his father suddenly, his grandfather is old, his mother is indifferent and only cares about the wind, the house is full of old, weak, sick, widows and children.

Erlang still needs to be cautious, there are many crises outside, and he has not yet fully matured to provoke the heavy responsibility of the more than 400 members of the Gu family.

He has no right to make mistakes, no right to be self-willed, and even too much emotion on his face is wrong, unsteady and immature.

The opportunities given were not eye-catching enough, and Erlang had to pick and choose, but he didn't know that just such an opportunity came from him rushing up and down to show his face and bend down to make small begs.

"I often think that my father was suppressed by the first emperor and still made so many achievements. I am not as good as my father. I don't blame my grandfather for not taking a fancy to me."

Gu Lei drank another glass of wine, feeling a little sentimental.

The belated pain and sadness exerted its due power.

"No, you are no worse than father-in-law. Father-in-law was not as difficult as you when he was eighteen. Don't underestimate yourself. You have done a good job. My grandpa always praised you, saying that the Gu family is the greatest blessing to have you. Maybe the opportunity is here on you."

This was said by Grandpa Li. He is very optimistic about Gu Lei. He can endure what ordinary people can't bear, can bend the waist that others cannot, and can shoulder responsibilities that others cannot resist.

In just a few years, the Gu family has landed smoothly in his hands, and the industry still has no chance. What he has done has made the family members nod in approval, which is really good.

Not all credits have to be earth-shattering to be recognized, the more trivial things are, the more a person's ability will be tested.
