Interstellar boss dressed as a peasant girl and became rich

Chapter 6: Intimidating Pickpockets
When Gu Yu followed him out and saw Gu Wu carrying a pile of red clothes stained with pig blood, her heart sank.

Yang took the clothes distressedly and muttered: "Oh, oh, oh, some of these clothes are newly made fine cotton clothes for Yu'er."

The couple lived frugally and bought a piece of fine cotton cloth to make two sets of clothes for Gu Yu. In addition to the clothes that fell off, there were several pieces that belonged to Gu Yu.

Yang quickly went to get water to wash, but the clothes had been soaked overnight and it was too difficult to clean them. Gu Yu stood aside, remembering that they hung the washed clothes under the eaves before going out yesterday to prevent them from getting wet by the rain.

At this moment, something seemed to flash through her mind, but she couldn't catch it.

Gu Wu felt distressed when he saw so many pieces of clothing stained with pig blood. He said helplessly: "The clothes have fallen off and become dirty. Wash them and I will wear them."

Yang: "..."

It's not that she dislikes her husband for being short.

My daughter is taller than Gu Wu, so if I want to wear it, I can only wait until it is washed and dried to see if it can be changed. If it doesn't work, it can only be changed to Yang's.

The couple washed clothes in the yard and hung them on the clothesline under the eaves. Gu Yu went to the room and changed into a light blue long-sleeved coat and an ordinary pleated skirt.

Ordinary people usually work in the fields, and men's attire has always been trousers, short and brown. Women's clothing is mainly coats and skirts that just cover the uppers of the shoes. Girls from wealthy families are not dressed in exquisite, gorgeous and colorful clothes.

This dress is of ordinary style without any embroidery, which is enough for the common people who work in the fields, not to mention that her dress does not have any patches, which is even more difficult.

The family of three hurriedly finished breakfast, and Yang was busy packing things to take to her grandpa's house. Gu Yu and his daughter carefully put the copper coins strung together last night into the basket on their backs.

Gu Wu picked up the heavy backpack. It felt okay and not very heavy. He bent down to carry it and Gu Yu hurriedly said, "I'll carry it. I'll wait for dad to carry the things to grandpa's house."

The average age of ancient people was thirty to fifty years old. Gu Wu was now fifty-three years old. Gu Yu did not dare to let him carry such a heavy copper plate for two or three hours on a mountain road.

Gu Wu saw that she easily picked up the backpack and put it firmly on the bench, and then carried it behind his back. Knowing that his daughter felt sorry for him, he said, "Okay, then you carry it." He added, "I can't carry it on the road. Tell dad, dad and you will switch backs."

"This thing is not as heavy as a wild boar. You need to change your back there." Gu Yu refused.

He locked the door and walked on the mountain road leading to the town. The morning in the village is particularly peaceful, and the air is filled with the fresh breath of the fields.

When I met villagers going to the morning market, I said hello, "Lao Wu, your family is also going to the town to go to the market!"

Gu Wu responded with a smile, "Yes! You guys should go to the market too!"

"We have run out of old grain at home, and we plan to buy some grain to eat back." The villager then mentioned the wild boar meat last night and said, "We live in the mountains, and it is inconvenient to go to town every time. My family has not been there for several months. It’s time to go to the market. Thanks to the heavy rain at your house, I went to your house yesterday to weigh a few kilograms of pork and fry it for my wife to eat. It tasted delicious."

Gu Wu smiled and chatted with him all the time.

The number of towns and villages under the jurisdiction of a city in Daqi is not fixed. Because the size of the city is different, the number of towns and villages under its jurisdiction will also be different. For example, some larger cities, similar to states and counties, have jurisdiction over more than a dozen counties and hundreds of villages and towns, while small cities, such as small counties, have jurisdiction over dozens or more than a dozen villages.

Qingfen Fucheng has eight counties under its jurisdiction. The eight counties have twenty towns under its jurisdiction. Ten villages form one town, and each is managed by a li.
Banshan Village is the village below Qingshan Town. After two hours of trekking, he finally arrived at the town. After Gu Yu paid the nine-cent entrance fee, he separated from the villagers who came all the way and headed straight to the bank. . Qingshan Town is not big, with only two east and west streets. Gu Yu's family of three quickly arrived at the bank in the center of East Street. As soon as they entered, they saw a space of about forty or fifty square meters. Money exchangers were in a In the house that is completely surrounded by wooden walls, only one window is exposed.

The windows set up in the bank are not short. A short person can only raise his head to talk to the people inside. Gu Yu is tall and even needs to bend down to say to the people in the window: "Shopkeeper, I need to exchange copper coins for silver notes." .”

The man behind the cash box heard her voice, pointed to the window and said, "Put the money here."

Gu Yu put away the fifty copper coins one by one, and then heard Gu Wu say: "Exchange them all for ten taels of silver notes."

The man looked at Gu Wu and then at Gu Yu and said, "Are they a family?"

Gu Yu answered in a calm and natural voice: "Yes, this is my father."

In this underdeveloped world, household registration and road guidance that represent a person's identity and origin are just thin pieces of paper. The bank was opened by the imperial court. In order to prevent people from pretending to be family members to deposit and withdraw money, people who met them would ask and confirm their family relationships.

The man counted fifty silver coins, took out the banknotes, stamped a stamp on them, put them in the window and said, "Check the number of banknotes by counting them."

Gu Yu took the banknotes, counted them carefully and said, "The banknotes are fine, five for ten taels, thank you very much."

Her bright smile was as warm as the sun, making people happy. The man smiled softly, nodded and said, "It's okay, that's right."

Gu Yu handed the banknote to Yang, who took out an old and worn purse from his pocket, carefully put the banknote in, and then handed it to Gu Yu, "You are very strong. , it’s safer to put it on you.”

Gu Yu understood that his parents were getting older and their strength was no longer as strong as before. If they were robbed, they would be unable to resist.

Moreover, she has a secret space in her body. As long as she puts the banknote inside, even ghosts and gods cannot find it. What's more, she is strong and has quick reactions, so she can deal with thieves easily.

So, without saying a word, he took the bank note and put it into his arms. In fact, he put it into the secret space. After walking out of the bank, Gu Yu picked up a stone weighing ten kilograms and played with it in his hand.

Gu Wu and Yang looked at her without any joy on their faces. When they walked through the bank area, Gu Yu gently squeezed the stone with a hint of teasing, and the stone instantly turned into powder.

The two pickpockets who had been following them were stunned when they saw this scene: "..."

They originally just wanted to see if the family had any money, but they didn't expect that this woman, who was taller than the man, would crush rocks to scare them.

However, when they thought about the stone that turned into powder, the two looked at each other and smiled flatteringly.

After Gu Yu gave them a warning look, he ignored these thieves and continued to walk forward with Yang and Gu Wu. Yang stroked his chest and said, "Yu'er, those two people are guarding the bank." Pickpockets in the neighborhood.”

Although the bank is guarded by yamen, there are still some suspicious people wandering around the bank. Gu Yu said lightly "Yeah" and said: "That should be it!"
