Rebirth of the Excellent Daughter of the Marquis Household

Chapter 61: Real estate in Jiangxia City

Gu Yuqi and her party didn't wait long on the side of the road when they saw Chun Xing and Xia He coming back first.

Chun Xing and Xia He told Liang Huaiyu and Gu Yuqi in detail what they had seen.

Gu Yuqi and Zhao Wu were not mistaken. They were indeed villagers in the nearby mountain village. Although their village was in the mountains, there was a large open space in front of the mountain. It used to be a good farmland, but since the new Jiangxia city governor took office, their vacant land has been seized by the government in the name of raising military horses, and each family has been given a subsidy of one or two silver. And let them migrate to Jiangxia City to live, what can one tael of silver do in Jiangxia City? However, as the official said, their fertile land was destroyed. Many people are forced to leave their villages and go to Jiangxia City to make a living. There are only a dozen families left in the village, because there are elderly people in the family who are unwilling to leave.

Without the land, these people need to eat, so the boss of them took a risk and robbed once, and fed the villagers for a few days. When everyone saw it, this feeling is good, the government is stupid, it is better to learn a drama As said, go up the mountain and become a bandit.

It was relatively smooth at the beginning, but when Ding Wang Yunqing was sent to Jiangbei Camp to experience. They started to attack the surrounding bandits. Those with bad reputations were wiped out by Yunqing. They were considered to have a good reputation among the bandits. They only wanted money, not human life, but they were not forced. The only way is to take advantage of the natural danger here to hide.

Liang Huaiyu knew that Gu Yuqi wanted to subdue them, but she was always worried that even though these people were farmers, they had been bandits. Wildness is difficult to train, Gu Yuqi is a good lady of the family, if she gets involved with these people, her future reputation will... sigh, thinking of this, Liang Huaiyu sighs a long time, Gu Yuqi was expelled from the Hou Mansion, and the reputation of the lady, early. It's gone... Since they've already left the capital, it's better to look forward. Gu Yuqi persuaded her like this, and she kept persuading herself like this.

This daughter has been completely different since she fell into the water in the capital. She couldn't guess her daughter's mind. But seeing the look on her daughter's face, she also felt that maybe she lived a lifetime, and it was not bad to be free to do whatever she wanted.

Seeing Liang Huaiyu's worries, Gu Yuqi explained, "Mother, don't worry, they won't cause trouble." She analyzed Liang Huaiyu. These people were forced into the grass, and if the fields were not occupied, they would not be able to survive, and they are still honest and responsible peasants. Second, when they were arrested, they didn't think about themselves first, but told their boss to go first, proving that they were loyal people and had a warm heart. Thirdly, they had all the conditions to leave the mountain village to seek a life elsewhere, but they still insisted on staying in this remote place for the sake of the elderly at home, proving that they have filial piety in their hearts.

Although he is a bandit, he is loyal and trustworthy and can be used for his own use.

After Gu Yuqi explained this, Liang Huaiyu felt relieved, and couldn't help but look at her daughter more. If her father was still alive, seeing such a granddaughter, I'm afraid I don't know how much I like it.

It is a pity that he has experienced hundreds of battles, the enemy has no way to take him, and give him the title of God of War, but he can't resist the lingering illness.

Liang Huaiyu and the others waited for a stick of incense on the side of the road, when they saw ten men approaching in twos and threes at the end of the road. (.) All the tattered clothes on their bodies have been changed. Although they are all old clothes, they have been starched and washed very cleanly, and the damaged areas have been carefully patched with patches. There were many old people, women and children behind them, and they followed from a distance. When they saw Gu Yuqi and her party, those old people, women and children stopped and only dared to stand in the distance and look at this side.

The eldest brother walked at the front, and when he came to Gu Yuqi, he bowed his hands to Gu Yuqi, "Little Miss, I brought all my brothers, three brothers have elderly people at home who are sick and can't leave, so they choose to stay. down."

"Okay." Gu Yuqi smiled and nodded, ten is not bad. "Since that's the case, you should sign this contract." Gu Yuqi gave Runying a look, and Runying immediately took out the prostitution contract she had written while waiting for someone.

Those bandits obviously didn't expect Gu Yuqi to come out again, and they all looked at each other in dismay. They didn't know a single big character. What was written on the stack of paper that the little girl held, they all looked at the boss in the end.

The eldest brother took the deed and read it. In the village, he was a literate person. What Gu Yuqi said before was written on the deed, and it was not bad. Now, I hope the young lady will keep her word." In fact, he was also betting that Gu Yuqi could let them go after catching them, indicating that the young lady in front of her was young, but she had a big heart.

Gu Yuqi's ten taels of silver seemed to give him hope, and he didn't want to be a bandit all his life, but the brothers who followed him in the mountains and the brothers' families had to eat. Now that Gu Yuqi gave him a chance to make money as a good citizen, how could he give up so easily. Three years is only three years, and there is still one tael of silver in remuneration each year. After three years, if they do well, if Gu Yuqi wants them to stay, they will give fifty taels of silver! Where to find such good things, it's like a pie falling from the sky. Anyway, they have already reached the point where they are about to fall for the grass, and what risk is there to take!

The boss took the lead in writing his name, and Gu Yuqi glanced at it. The name was actually quite elegant. It was called Zhang Lan. It really didn't match the image of his beard on his face!

When the others saw Zhang Lan's signature, they all breathed a sigh of relief. They were used to taking Zhang Lan's lead, so whatever Zhang Lan did, they would do it without hesitation, not even what was written on the contract. One more question, Gu Yuqi felt very satisfied. What she wants is this kind of absolute loyalty. Although these men have never seen the world, they are doing a good job at this point.

Others are illiterate, but Runying also prepared ink pads. This little girl is used to managing accounts. As long as anything related to the accounts is her treasure, she will take it with her. So her revenge has everything in the four treasures of the study.

Seeing that everyone signed the contract, Gu Yuqi smiled with satisfaction, "Okay, let's go, we have to hurry today, and try to reach Jiangxia City in the evening, let's go into the city today and spend a bit, stay in the inn. !"

When Gu Yuqi said it arrogantly, it made the casual people happy. Those bandits who came in from their new homes had never lived in a place like an inn. They didn't even dare to enter the city. Now they have changed their identity and can live in an inn. Naturally very happy. While the others have been on the road for days and sleep in the open air, they avoided the town and slept in the wild. Suddenly Gu Yuqi said that they were staying in the inn, and everyone thought that there was a hot bath to wash in! Everyone was used to living in the General’s Mansion and Hou’s Mansion. Other than that, all they had to do was wipe their bodies with cold water on the way, but they were all boiled down.

So when Gu Yuqi said this, everyone cheered. The old people, women and children in the village looked at this side from a distance. Although they didn't know what Gu Yuqi and the others were talking about, they saw that their relatives had joined the noble team. Inside, there was no panic on their faces. Instead, they laughed happily. They were relieved and waved goodbye to Gu Yuqi and the others.

Gu Yuqi asked Chun Xing and Zhao Wu to rush forward, and first went to Jiangxia City to visit to see if there were any announcements about herself.

Gu Yuqi counted the time. It has been ten days since she left the capital. The spring flood should have begun in Jiangnan. This spring flood, the two major rivers running through the entire Daqi, the Hengjiang and the Hunjiang, will be flooded at the same time. After the water is over, the plague will come, Daqi will enter an eventful autumn, and Yun Ke will also begin to embark on his road of seizing the throne.

Jiangnan is the root of Liang's family, so Gu Yuqi discussed it with Liang's family, and Liang's family had already sent a letter back to the Liang family's old house, first to check the patriarch's words.

I haven't replied yet. This makes Liang Huaiyu feel very uneasy and uncomfortable. Could it be because she reconciled with Gu Huaizhong, gave up her status as a rank-and-file official, and Gu Yuqi was expelled from the Hou residence, so Liang's family is not ready to accept their mother. female? Then this recipe is to be given or not. Although Liang Huaiyu couldn't tell whether the plague Gu Yuqi said would really come, but seeing her daughter's words so decisively, she naturally chose to believe her daughter, anyway, she always stood by her daughter's side. So if there is a plague, the recipe in her hand can not only save the entire Liang family, but also save thousands of people in the south of the Yangtze River, because the plague broke out from the banks of the Hengjiang and Hunjiang rivers. , and then spread across the country. Jiangnan is in the south of the Hunjiang River, but Gu Yuqi's current location is Jiangxia City on the banks of the Hengjiang River.

Liang Huaiyu wanted to use this recipe to repair the relationship between himself and his clan. But since the death of General Liang Da, her mother also died of illness. Liang Huaiyu was the only one left in their family. Liang Huaiyu was still a woman.

She and Gu Huaizhong reconciled, although they were not abandoned, but a century-old family like the Liang family had been entrenched in Jiangnan for many years, and naturally they could not tolerate family women whose reputation was damaged. She didn't ask herself to return to the Liang family, but she wanted to give Gu Yuqi an identity. If Gu Yuqi can change her surname to Liang and be accepted by the Liang family, her future status will not be underestimated. At least a hundred times stronger than now. It's just that when she thinks about her situation in the clan, she feels that her brain is very painful. She is already following the rules. It's just that she likes to travel around after practicing martial arts. She has always been criticized by the elders and patriarchs of the clan, but they Seeing that his father was the God of War of Da Qi, he didn't point out Liang Huaiyu's face, but still let the seven aunts and eight aunts in the clan ask her mother to blow air from time to time, and let her restrain him.

Fortunately, her mother also cherishes herself, on the surface she agrees, but in fact she is very condoning, so Liang Huaiyu will have a life that is completely different from other daughters from aristocratic families, otherwise she would have been detained in high school when she was a girl. In the mansion, the reason why Liang Huaiyu was able to accept Gu Yuqi's departure from the Hou's Mansion and go to the world together was inseparable from these. If a mother who came from an aristocratic family would have her daughter expelled from the Hou's by her father. The government is so exaggerated.

A deviant daughter must have a somewhat unreliable mother in her bones. Gu Yuqi and Liang Huaiyu are such a mother and daughter who are very unreliable in the eyes of people of this era.

In the evening, Gu Yuqi and her party had already arrived at Jiangxia City.

Gu Yuqi had been here in the previous life, but in this life, she was still shocked by the towering city wall in the twilight.

Jiangxia City is the gateway to the north and south, and it has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. Since the previous dynasties, the city walls have been built very strong and magnificent. In the Daqi Dynasty, the Jiangbei Camp was stationed near Jiangxia City, and Hengjiang was behind Jiangxia City, dividing Daqi into two halves, north and south. Hengjiang's largest ferry is just outside Jiangxia City. It is like a port for trade between the north and the south. It is very lively.

Gu Yuqi's decision to go to Jiangxia City to rest was not random. She calculated the time. The spring flood should have already started. If she remembers correctly, in two days, there will be floods in Hengjiang from the east of Jiangxia, Jiangxia City and Jiangbei University. The river embankment in this section of the camp is extremely strong, but the river embankment heading east is really uncomplimentable. I am afraid that in the past few days, the river water in Hengjiang has skyrocketed, and the flow rate is very fast. They can't cross the river now. Once the flood is flooded, a large number of refugees will pour into Jiangxia City. If they are still outside the city. Being stationed will be dangerous, so the safest place is in Jiangxia City.

Chun Xing and Zhao Wu joined Gu Yuqi and the others outside the city gate. The city is still calm, but the ferry at the ferry has stopped, because the river is rising too fast, so the ferry at night no longer crosses the river. Gu Yuqi took everyone into the city, and the defenders of Jiangxia City have now been replaced by people from Jiangbei Camp.

Strange to say, as soon as Gu Yuqi and the others entered the city, the sky darkened immediately, spring thunder rolled in the sky, and lightning flashed in the dark clouds.

Before they could settle down, the pea-sized raindrops crashed down. It was dense and urgent, and it was painful to hit people. Gu Yuqi knew that when this heavy rain came, it would not stop for half a month. She originally wanted to cross the Hengjiang River before the heavy rain came, but she was not as good as the sky, she still didn't calculate the right time, she was delayed on the way, and it was still late in Jiangxia, Gu Yuqi couldn't help sighing, miserable! This time, they are estimated to be trapped here for a long time. Even if the heavy rain stops, the plague will follow one after another. They don't know how long it will be delayed here.

Delaying a few days is not a problem, the problem is that Yun Ke is just about to come! This makes Gu Yuqi very distressed!

She remembered clearly that Yun Ke in the last life was sent to Jiangxia City, because the plague spread from the banks of Hengjiang and Hunjiang. So in a few days, this place will become an epidemic area! Ah ah ah, it's better to open the ferry tomorrow! However, this probability is very small, and Gu Yuqi also understands that with such a heavy rain, the river water will skyrocket, and tomorrow the ferry will be closed. , but Gu Yuqi didn't dare to let her mother take risks.

Gu Yuqi's heart is now like 100,000 grass and mud horses whizzing past, the sourness is beyond words.

She finally got out of the capital, left that shabby place, away from Yun Ke, but God has given Yun Ke enough face, and will use the pouring rain to leave her in Jiangxia City to wait for Yun Ke! What the **** is this!

In the previous life, after she found Fangzi, she desperately wanted to come to Jiangxia and give it to Yun Ke herself, but because of the plague, the gates of the capital were closed. Yun Ke left, but was stopped by a heavy rain in Jiangxia, which was really speechless.

She has the recipe in her hand, Yun Ke also has it, **** it, Gu Yuqi cursed secretly in her heart, she couldn't even find something to threaten him!

When the plug-in girl meets the plug-in man, Gu Yuqi feels that she was born to be beaten by Yun Ke! This is unlucky! Pool break.

Zhao Wu braved the heavy rain to find an inn. After Gu Yuqi and the others moved in, they were soaked all over. She immediately arranged for someone to boil water or something. It didn't matter to herself, she was most worried about Liang Huaiyu. Liang Huaiyu has already passed away in the previous life, but she is still alive in this life, so Gu Yuqi is very worried, she feels that she is cheating under the eyes of God all the time, for fear that Liang Huaiyu will suffer an accident and leave her.

Therefore, as long as it is about Liang Huaiyu, she is extra cautious. Take Dujiang as an example. If she is alone and knows that Yunke is coming, then she will try her hardest to cross the Hengjiang tomorrow, because time The longer it drags on, the more dangerous it is, but now with Liang Huaiyu, Gu Yuqi doesn't have the courage to take risks.

After taking a hot bath, Gu Yuqi was not at ease and invited a middle-aged man to show Liang Huaiyu a look. Liang Huaiyu was inexplicable, when did she become a person made of tofu in her daughter's heart.

After everything was settled, Gu Yuqi started a new plan.

She knew that the rain would not stop at the beginning, and they would definitely be trapped in Jiangxia City. So I'll just rent a yard to live in tomorrow. First, I save money. Second, renting a house is much more secretive than living in an inn. Yun Ke is coming, but I don't necessarily know that she is in Jiangxia... Although this probability is very small... Because Gu Yuqi knew that the dark guards around Yun Ke were powerful, and if he tried to find him, he would be found wherever he hid. However, renting a house is slightly better than staying in an inn. Even if there is any movement, everyone knows that there will be no trouble.

Moreover, once the plague broke out, the inn would not have a separate courtyard for the people coming and going.

The plague will last for a long time, which means that they have to live in Jiangxia for a long time, and rice and food are all problems. After the plague, bandits are rampant, all because there is no food to eat.

So early the next morning, Gu Yuqi sent everyone out to inquire about renting houses, buying food, buying vegetables, buying chickens, ducks and geese. Gu Yuqi even asked Runying to buy rapeseeds. She also made a grocery list and gave it to Li Lan, and asked him to take his brothers out to buy things too.

Gu Yuqi looked at her rapidly falling purse, she was speechless. She was really good at home. It was difficult to go out and every step required money. Fortunately, she had prepared for many years and had accumulated a lot of money in her hand. A feeling of sitting and eating the mountain.

She had already asked the shops in the capital to stock up on food and herbs, so Gu Yuqi knew that as long as the plague passed, she would be an out-and-out rich woman! Now Hua Yinzihua's heart is aching, and after the plague, she is afraid that she will count the silver until her hands are soft.

Liang Huaiyu was also frightened when she saw Gu Yuqi's big money. She quietly asked Qiuyue, and the information she got made her tongue jump. She knew in the capital that Gu Yuqi had invested in a shop, but she never asked. Today, I see Gu Yuqi. I opened the money, so I had to ask. Only by asking this question did I know that my daughter is really strong and strong... Those messy things that those shops sell are actually so profitable...

Liang Huaiyu is not an uninformed person. She saw Gu Yuqi buying and buying like this, and then looked at the pouring rain outside, and her heart moved. The plague Gu Yuqi said is about to start.

Gu Yuqi also ran to the ferry herself, and braved the heavy rain to investigate the situation of the Hengjiang River. Sure enough, just like the previous life, the river water is no longer blue-green. terrifying. The heavy rain in Jiangxia City has just begun, and the river water has already risen to such a degree. It is conceivable that in two days, what kind of momentum this river will have. The ferry is definitely closed, and the square near the ferry is full of goods that are ready to cross the river.

Gu Yuqi looked at the goods covered with tarpaulins, her mind moved slightly, and a thought came out of her heart.

It is easy to do things with money. Although Zhao Wu is the leader of the guards and relies on his fists to eat, his brain is also very useful, otherwise he would not have been selected by General Liang to protect his precious only daughter. It only took him one morning to find a large yard with three entrances and three exits in the western suburbs of Jiangxia City. This yard was originally a wealthy businessman in the city. Because he wanted to go home for retirement, he put it up for sale. The asking price was not high. It's low, Zhao Wu went to see it, and was very satisfied. It was not as beautiful and delicate as Hou's Mansion and Liang's Mansion, but it was also a rare good mansion in this kind of place. But the owner of the house only sells and does not rent, so Zhao Wushao has to come back again to ask for instructions.

This time, it was not Gu Yuqi who made the call, but Liang Huaiyu who bought the house, because when Zhao Wu came back to ask for instructions, Gu Yuqi was still squatting on the ferry to investigate.

Liang Huaiyu felt that she had been taken care of by her daughter along the way, and felt a little sorry for the little she felt. She could see that her daughter was very worried about the heavy rain, and Gu Yuqi also said that the heavy rain would stop in half a month. No, the heavy rain will cause floods, and the floods will be accompanied by plagues, and it will take several months to eliminate them, which means that they will spend at least three to four months here.

No matter how much money her daughter had, she would run out of money, so she simply took out her own money to buy the house. Zhao Wu said yes, she believed in Zhao Wu's vision. So when Gu Yuqi came back from the pier, Liang Huaiyu had already handed the deed to Gu Yuqi with a smile, but Gu Yuqi was startled!
