Chapter 304: Discussing Leaving the Valley
Hearing this, several people felt relieved and said, "It's good enough if you have the intention. We have too much money now and don't know where to spend it! You should develop well and devote more to your sister in the future."
"Yes." The boys responded one after another.
Then the other boys followed their eldest brother's example and gave one portion to their younger brother Gu Kang and one portion to Gong Zhong.
Gu Kang became the final winner again, with a happy smile on his face.
Seeing that his brothers and sisters gave him beautiful things, Gu Kang's heart finally turned from gloomy to bright. It turned out that his brothers and sisters did not abandon him.
Old Master Gu also nodded with satisfaction. Since he had adopted his granddaughter, he would not reject his grandson.
After so many times, everyone understands Gu Fu's persistence in distributing money to his family.
All they could do was call each household’s smart housekeeper to properly place the gold, silver, and jewelry.
Thinking of the large amount of gold, silver and jewelry piled up in each house, the family became worried. They were now in a state of only taking in but not spending out.
Not only does the granddaughter give gold, silver and jewelry to the family from time to time, but there is also money earned from selling grain several times, and now there is also a shopping mall to make money for the family.
And their current expenses only included the monthly wages for the newly bought servants.
Before, Jiang bought some silk cocoons and Miao bought some cloth, which required silver.
But since cooperating with the embroidery workshop, not only do these things not cost money, but I can also earn money for my family.
When the adults in the Gu family thought of this, they all laughed helplessly.
For a moment, several people thought secretly in their hearts that they should save all these things and give them to Fuer as her dowry when she gets married.
At this time, Gu Fu asked again: "Grandpa, Fu'er has some old clothes and old bedding here, I don't know what to do with them."
After hearing this, several people lowered their heads in thought. Now that people in the valley have a better life, the clothes and beddings bought from their own grocery store are cheap, warm and brand new.
People in the valley really don't lack these now.
Gu Dahe said at this time: "Dad, why don't we go to Longcheng and take a look.
The imperial court has a policy of encouraging migration. I wonder how the people in Xinlong City are doing now.
If there are poor people, we can give these to them. If it is convenient, my son would like to discuss it with the military doctors. "
"That's a good idea." Everyone agreed when they heard it.
"Then should we take Ajing with us?" Gu Yi asked.
When everyone heard this, they were puzzled for a moment.
If they didn't take him with them and left him alone at home while the whole family went out, they were afraid that Song Renjing would be sad.
If we bring him with us, it will be inconvenient for us to move around.
My granddaughter has too many secrets that cannot be known by others.
For a moment, the family was in a dilemma.
“Grandpa, let’s take Brother Jing with us, and let him be blindfolded like before.
Once outside, we released the smart housekeepers to do the work.
Grandpa, let's take the tricycle with us this time. The tricycle has appeared in Longcheng before, so it's not strange if someone has seen it, and it's also convenient for me to store it in the space at any time.
This way I won't expose myself and I can also bring more things with me." Gu Fu suggested.
"It's better this way than leaving him alone at home, which would make it seem like we don't treat him as one of our own," said Gu Dahai.
"Okay, then when do we set off?" Gu Dajiang also asked.
"If we go to the military camp, I want to bring them some game, so that the soldiers can have some meat during the New Year." Gu Dahe said.
"Okay, Dad. This is a good opportunity to eliminate some of the prey in my space." Gu Fu also said.
The prey in her space were all hunted by Daju, Dabai and others in the mountains before the New Year.
There was no more space outside, so a lot of it was piled up in Gu Fu’s space.
"It's not appropriate to kill animals during the New Year. Fortunately, we have some in Fuer's space, so it saves us a lot of trouble. Let's set off the day after tomorrow." Grandpa Gu said.
"Okay, Dad and Grandpa." Everyone in the Gu family responded.
After everyone had divided the money and discussed things, Song Renjing had not returned yet.
As the night deepened, Mr. Gu said, "It's getting late. Let's all go to bed early. We'll have a good New Year's Day tomorrow. Pack up the things you want to take with you in the afternoon, and we'll set off the day after tomorrow."
"Okay!" Everyone responded.
Mr. Gu then instructed Zhirou who was following him, "Tell Zhisheng to tell Ajing to rest early after he finishes his work and not to come over again. We have settled us down first."
"Yes, old man." Zhirou replied.
Actually, there was nothing big happening on Song Renjing's side.
However, most of the Gu family members did not know his identity yet. The news from the emperor about state affairs was for fear of being exposed, so they let him go back to his own courtyard to listen.
The message sent by the emperor included his longing for his grandson, and he also said that he had sent some gifts to the Gu family and his own grandson, all of which are in Zesheng County.
Then he talked about some things that happened in the court.
After Zhisheng finished relaying the news, Song Renjing inadvertently picked out one or two of the government affairs that his grandfather had mentioned and discussed them with Zhisheng.
After this discussion, I discovered that Butler Zhisheng is a man of great talent!
"Uncle Sheng, with your talent, you can definitely become a prime minister. Do you have any idea of becoming an official?" Song Renjing asked excitedly.
"Master Jing, you are too kind to me. I am just a family servant. Taking care of my old master is my wish for the rest of my life." Zhisheng said with a friendly smile on his face.
Song Renjing felt very regretful, as there were so many talented people in the Gu family.
After the two chatted for a few more sentences, Zhisheng embellished Mr. Gu's words and said, "Master Jing, when we came here, the old master told us that if it's late when you're done, you can go to bed early and don't have to go over. They will settle you down when the time comes."
Song Renjing looked up at the clock on the wall and saw that it was past eleven o'clock, so he said, "Thank you, Uncle Sheng. Thank you, Grandpa Gu, for your concern. It is indeed getting late. I will not disturb you today. Please ask Butler Zhi to pass on the message."
"Okay, Master Jing, don't worry, settle down as soon as possible!"
"Okay, thank you Uncle Sheng."
Song Renjing personally sent Zhisheng to the door before returning to the house.
He gave the four secret guards red envelopes and told them to go to bed early, then he went back to wash up and rest.
Day two.
The Gu family got up early.
Eating sweet rice dumplings and poached eggs means a sweet and happy new year.
We also ate dumplings and the sumptuous dishes prepared by the Kitchen Lady.
During the meal, Mr. Gu specifically told Song Renjing about the family's travel plans.
Upon hearing this, Song Renjing felt that this travel plan was just what he wanted.
He also wanted to see how the migration policy launched by the Emperor was being implemented.
And what kind of life are the people who moved there living now?
Now that the Gu family is going, he naturally has to go with them. Moreover, they are going to the military camp, so it would be a good opportunity for him to go and take a look.
