Chapter 73 Similar
Gu Qingya also wanted to stay and listen, but Gu Shi turned around and told her to go to the kitchen to watch the fire, feeling a little pity in her heart, not knowing what Fang Shi planned.

"Sister, you're back, can you see if the pot is steamed?" Yan Qingcha was sweating profusely, while Yan Qingpu, who was detained in the seat, held a small section of sugarcane in his hand. Nibbling, his face was covered with paste.

Gu Qingya took a look, it turned out that the Gu family was steaming the five spices, and the five spices are generally only made by pig butchers. They use a thin layer of fat from the belly of the pig, and they are usually deep-fried first.However, the one made by Gu Shi is made of dried tofu skin, and the order is reversed, first steamed and then fried.

The amount of tofu skin is not much, and it is rarely sold in the market. These are probably exchanged by Gu Shi and the tofu maker.Compared with pure braised pork, Gu Qingya's siblings prefer this method, so if conditions permit, the Gu family will do it.

Lifting the lid of the pot, Gu Qingya looked at it and put it back on again, "Just burn two more fires."

"Sister, why don't you come back with dad and brother? I don't know if you brought candied haws." Yan Qingcha said, and smacked her mouth, as if she saw a candied haws waiting in front of her.

"It's probably coming soon." Gu Qingya said absent-mindedly, a little confused about Fang's plan.

Qi Qiusheng raised his head from the book in his hand and looked at Jiang Rong'an who was seriously making a fuss on the desk beside him. He couldn't help a smile on his face. If he was so serious, he would be able to get one of the top three in next year's quiz.

However, thinking of the purpose of Jiang Rongan's arrival, the smile on Qi Qiusheng's face faded a bit. As an elder, he can only suggest but not interfere with Jiang Rongan's affairs.

Qi Qiusheng felt that Jiang Rong'an paid too much attention to the Yan family, which was not a good thing. Even if Gu Qingya had saved his life, the three requests had already been fulfilled, right?

Just as he was thinking about it, Jiang Rongan stopped writing and spread the written paper to dry. Qi Qiusheng walked up and looked at it carefully. , next year's quiz will definitely be fine."

"Uncle Qi has won the award, and my nephew still has a lot to work on." Jiang Rongan smiled lightly, neither arrogant nor impetuous, and Qi Qiusheng became more and more satisfied the more he looked at it. This child must have a bright future in the future, and he wanted to be his daughter no matter how big he was How old you are, you must match the two.

"It's the Chinese New Year, so don't work too hard, but don't let other things distract you too much."

Jiang Rongan's eyebrows moved slightly, and he heard the meaning of Qi Qiusheng's words, "Uncle Qi, don't worry, I know what I know. It is indeed a bit overkill to borrow your people to investigate this matter, but since I promised him, I have to Make it all right."

"It's just a family conflict, can it still affect the assessment?" Qi Qiusheng's family population is simple, and he doesn't know much about some dirty things in the family.

"No matter what, it's always right to plan ahead." Jiang Rong'an felt that it must be difficult for an ordinary person like Gu Shi to use a knife, and after a thorough investigation, the matter would not become more difficult in the future.

Just as he was talking, a thin but nimble man in black came in and bowed to Qi Qiusheng and Jiang Rongan, "Go back to Master and Young Master Jiang, the matter has been clarified."

Qi Qiusheng may not be an old fox in the officialdom, but he has one or two capable hands, "Xiao Lian, tell me, what did you find?"

"Back then, after Mrs. Gu was divorced and returned to her natal family, she did not marry into Yan's family voluntarily, but was sold by her brother and sister-in-law. A contract was written, but it was never filed with the government." When Xiao Lian found out about this, It's not too strange, he said that the market is good, and similar things have been seen a lot.

Qi Qiusheng was startled when he heard this, "What? Tell me more about it." Xiao Lian is good at checking the news, and since he can tell it, it must be right.

"I also brought the contract from the Gu family, but I didn't get the one from the middleman." Xiao Lian didn't go into details about the bad things about the Gu family, so as not to let these pollute the county magistrate's ears, but It is to take out the evidence directly.

Qi Qiusheng took it and took a look, then handed it to Jiang Rongan who was at the side. At this time, he couldn't help applauding Jiang Rongan's decision in his heart.If this matter is exposed, it will be difficult for Yan Qinghe to qualify for the exam, and Jiang Rongan will have to work harder. Even if Yan Qinghe passes the exam, this point will easily become a weakness for others to attack in the future.

After all, the descendants of servants cannot participate in the imperial examination.

Jiang Rongan was also surprised in his heart, but it was not obvious on his face. He took the paper handed over by Qi Qiusheng, looked at it, and listened to Xiao Lian's words, so he could understand Gu Shi's reaction.

"Rong An, what are your plans?" Qi Qiusheng was very interested in Jiang Rong'an's next steps at this moment, and wanted to see how he would handle this matter.

Jiang Rong'an folded the paper and put it close to his body, "Don't worry, just wait and see what happens."

After thinking about it, Qi Qiusheng understood, it depends on how the Yan family reacts before making a plan?
But in fact, Jiang Rongan didn't think about these things. Taking away the contract was just a little bit, but he couldn't suppress the Gu family, and there would still be many troubles in the future, so this is also the time to look at the abilities of the Yan family, and there may be surprises to see.

"It's good that you know it in your heart." Qi Qiusheng is not that interested in the matter of Yan's family, as long as Gu Qingya doesn't have any accidents, everything else will be easy to deal with, "Just stay with Uncle Qi this Chinese New Year."

"Uncle Qi, Grandpa Wu asked me to invite your family to Wu's house to celebrate the New Year. How about you give my nephew some face?" Qi Qiusheng's family was delayed due to certain things, and they haven't arrived in the county yet, so the preparations for the New Year are naturally uneven. .

Qi Qiusheng frowned slightly, "This is impossible."

"Uncle Qi, you are good friends with my uncle. Grandpa Wu and my grandfather once had a master-slave relationship. You don't have to worry that the Wu family will use your name to act outside."

"Let's talk about it when your aunt and the others arrive. I can't decide on this matter."

"If Uncle Qi doesn't want to, you don't have to force it. I'll help you prepare some New Year's goods for the next two days, so that you don't become a fool when you study." Jiang Rongan just brought the words and didn't force it.

Jiang Rong'an got into the carriage, and on the way back, he thought about the matter of Gu Qingya's family. It seems that ordinary people's troubles are not less than their own.

Before leaving, he asked Xiao Lian to find out about Gu Qingya's biological father's family, and his own situation was to some extent the same, so he felt a little sympathy for Gu Qingya.

Now, he is rather curious about what Gu Shi will do to his natal family. Although Fang Shi doesn't have much contact with her, this old lady gives him a feeling that is not simple, and Gu Shi will definitely take some actions under her instruction.

I don't know how the country people deal with these things, how is it different from that in the mansion?
