Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

Niu Niu saw that she was leaving, and she was about to go back with the maid, but the maid subconsciously held her back, and said in a low voice, "Wait a little longer."

Niuniu blinked, and obediently stopped.

The two of them stared wide-eyed for a moment, and the palace maid exclaimed in a low voice, "You throw stones really accurately, and besides, you know martial arts?"

Otherwise, how could such a small stone burst out with such great power?

Niu Niu proudly raised her chest and said, "I just know a thing or two."

Her uncle is a hero of the rivers and lakes, her cousin is the current head of Ling Tianmen, and even her frail cousin knows a little martial arts, how could she not learn it?

She wanted to learn it from the time when Bai Yitang took her flying around the capital, but she was young, they didn't teach it, and her parents didn't allow it.

It was so easy to start practicing martial arts at the age of five. Although he hadn't achieved anything yet, he could still hit one or two people with a flying stone.

If it weren't for her parents' repeated orders not to allow her to speak out, she would have shown off to her classmates long ago.

Especially Qinggong, she can climb trees now, although she can't fly around like uncle and the others, she is much more dexterous than ordinary people, climbing a fence or something is not a problem.

But her father said it was a means of saving her life, and she was not allowed to yell around. Looking at the adoring maid, Niu Niu struggled a lot to resist the urge to show off with her.

After standing behind the tree for a quarter of an hour, after making sure that they didn't kill their carbine, the two of them came out quietly, and walked back to the hall with relaxed expressions.

He Zipei frequently looked towards the side door, and was relieved to see that the daughter finally came back, turned around and sat down.

Niu Niu touched Gu Jingyun and continued to sit down, lowering her head and pretending that nothing happened, but she couldn't help but stare at the Dongying princess from the corner of her eyes.

The third time she looked at the opposite side, a cup of tea suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, which startled her.

Niu Niu quickly raised her head, and met Gu Jingyun with a cold gaze, and she took the teacup in an embarrassing manner.

Gu Jingyun glanced at the opposite side calmly, and said to her: "This song "Moonlight Night on the Spring River" is the finale, please listen to it carefully."

He motioned her to watch the hourglass, "I left after a short time. After all, it's the annual New Year's Eve banquet. The people in the Lefang are still very dedicated. Don't let them down."

Niu Niu stuck out her tongue secretly, not daring to look around anymore, she raised her head to look at the musicians playing instruments in the center of the hall.

As Gu Jingyun said, this song "Moonlight Night on the Spring River" is the finale song, with a super high level, even a half-understood person like Niuniu can enjoy listening to it.

When the song is over, people will leave.

The emperor checked the time and raised his glass to celebrate New Year's Eve with everyone. After tonight, the officials of the Great Chu had fifteen days to rest, and the imperial court did not open the seal until the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

But even after the opening of the seal, officials still have two days off in rotation.

Therefore, the treatment of civil servants in Dachu is quite good.

As for Qin Xinfang and Gu Jingyun, who are not low in official positions, their treatment is better.

During the Chinese New Year, the emperor not only asked the Ministry of Households to distribute more money and food, but also selected some items from the inner treasury to reward his ministers.

However, Qin Xinfang and Gu Jingyun had a good relationship with the royal family, so they received only a lot of rewards. Tonight, the emperor would give food to their mansion. Although the food was already cold when it was delivered to the house, it was produced by the imperial chef, and it tasted pretty good when it was warmed up.

The dishes given to Gu's mansion are all good dishes that the imperial chef is good at. When Gu Jingyun bid farewell to his uncle's family and returned to his own home, it happened to be in time for the kitchen to heat up the dishes and serve them.

An An was wearing a red Baifu padded jacket and sitting on the blanket, her face was flushed, and she was holding a Jiulianhuan and was unwittingly untying it. When she heard footsteps, she turned her head and cheered when she saw her father, leaving Jiulianhuan to run away. past.

"Don't come here, father is cold." Gu Jingyun hurriedly stopped, but An An didn't listen, and rushed over to open his arms to be hugged by him.

Gu Jingyun looked helpless, Li Baolu picked up the girl and hugged her into her arms coaxing: "Wait for your father to change his clothes, and let him tell you a story later."

An'an immediately put down her pursed mouth, pointed to the inner room and said, "Go, go, I want to hear a story."

Gu Jingyun went to change clothes, warmed his hands before coming out to hug An An, sat on the couch and asked, "Are you hungry?"

"I'm a little hungry," An An asked strangely, "Why are you eating so late tonight?"

"Because you have to wait for me," Gu Jingyun rubbed her head and laughed softly: "Father went to the palace to attend the palace banquet, and he didn't come back until very late. We have a reunion dinner on New Year's Eve, so that the whole family can be reunited. So you have to wait for me to come back and eat together."

An An said distressedly: "But I ate dumplings just now."

Gu Jingyun smiled, "It doesn't matter, what you just had is a snack, and eating a little more at meal time will be considered a regular meal, and God will figure it out."

An An is relieved now.

Hongtao and Qingling arranged all the dishes before bowing and retreating.

They are going down to eat too. Tonight is New Year's Eve. According to the usual practice, they can drink some fruit wine tonight, and my wife bought them a lot of candy and dry goods.

There was only a family of three left in the room. Gu Jingyun hugged An An and sat at the table, made rice for her with soup, and gave her a spoon to eat by herself.

Li Baolu put a bib on her. Although she is smart and can not only run and walk, but also talk and read, she still loses food.

An An knew that children needed bibs to eat, so she sat down obediently and asked her mother to tie them on for her.

An An held the spoon and looked at his father. Gu Jingyun smiled slightly, picked up a dish with his chopsticks, and said with a smile, "Eat."

An An put her head down and ate hard.

Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun couldn't help but see tenderness in their eyes as they looked at her. Who said that their daughter is domineering, she is so well-behaved, so obedient, and so capable.

The couple looked at their daughter and felt that she was very good everywhere.

Gu Jingyun stretched out his hand and poured Baolu a bowl of soup, "Drink some soup to warm up your body first." He also picked up some vegetables for An An that she could eat.

The family of three ate quietly.

After dinner, there was a vigil. This year, Qu Weizhen and Qu Jingxi were absent, and no one accompanied An An to run around the house, so it was much quieter.

The family of three sat cross-legged on the couch covered with blankets, An An sat between them and continued to play Jiulianhuan, while Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu sat facing each other, surrounding her.

Gu Jingyun stretched out his hand to hold Baolu's hand, and said: "The palace banquet tonight is very lively. I have talked with the envoys from the Western Regions. They should be just declining nobles who came out to do business. They don't even have credentials, so they can't be called Envoy."

"so?"

"So their focus is not on politics, but on business." Gu Jingyun said: "The focus of Honglu Temple is still on Tatar, Yilibali, Li Dynasty, and North Korea, which are countries bordering Great Chu. , Japan and the Western Regions don’t pay much attention to the non-bordering Wacha, and Japan and the Western Regions are especially important.”

The relationship between Wacha and Tatar is both relatives and enemies. They are of the same lineage. Although they have different tribes and even different beliefs, they will unite when facing the Great Chu and other powerful enemies. In history, the two sides have united and even unified There are many cases of fighting with Da Chu when they rise up and expand to the south.

But they are also enemies. Now they are not part of the same country. Now that Wacha has collapsed, the control of the Great Khan is weak, and the major tribes are in their own way. In Tatar, the royal court still has the final say. It is said that they have been fighting recently. In terms of the strategy of long-distance and close-attack, it is mostly beneficial to Da Chu to be friendly with Waci.

Therefore, although Wacha did not border on the Great Chu, the cabinet and Honglu Temple attached importance to it, second only to the Li Dynasty.

As for Japan and the Western Regions, one is separated from Dachu by a sea, and the other is separated from Dachu by a large landmass, so they can do business, so Honglu Temple doesn't pay much attention to them.

Especially the people from the Western Regions, they didn't even have a letter of credence, and they knew at a glance that they had reported to Honglu Temple as envoys, and Honglu Temple would not want to receive them if they hadn't presented their country's official tokens.

Honglu Temple doesn't pay much attention to them, but Gu Jingyun does.

"I have been in contact with them. They are very interested in Dachu's products. Don't you have a headache about the funding chain of the academy and where the students go to exercise? If you can reach a cooperation agreement with them, the things they make will be sold well .People in the Western Regions are not so strict about commodities.”

"Then we want to start a corresponding store operation?"

"No, just contact them in the name of Yunlu Academy," Gu Jingyun said with a slight smile: "All business transactions are recorded in Yunlu Academy, materials, craftsmanship, labor, and finished products are all imported from Yunlu Academy, and they are sent to Yunlu Academy. Out of college."

Li Baolu conceived of this operating model, his heart was agitated, and his eyes lit up. "That's good, we have to plan well, plan."

The corners of Gu Jingyun's mouth turned up slightly, he held her hand tightly and said with a smile: "It's not urgent, your students won't be able to learn it so quickly, we can hang them with other businesses first."

Qiongzhou's tea has been planted, and it went on sale last summer, but the sales volume was not very good.

Because the famous tea leaves are rare, but the tea produced in Qiongzhou has more than enough fragrance, but the taste is a little light. Baolu likes it, but he doesn't like it. Many people who are used to drinking West Lake tea and Wuyi tea don't like it either.

Qiongzhou is now taking the route of small profits but quick turnover.

However, no matter how small the profit is, the cost of transportation is not much lower after passing through a strait. If Qiongzhou tea is not well-known, it will be difficult to seize the market.

However, Qiongzhou has many mountains, and many people have started to grow tea on the mountains since the tea income was generated.

"Even if I let Zhang Yiyan control the planting quantity, this year's tea will still skyrocket. I don't want to hurt tea farmers in other places because of Qiongzhou tea, so I can only choose to export."

"Have you selected the people from the Western Regions?"

Gu Jingyun nodded slightly, "I have already made an appointment with them, and I will treat them to tea in a few days. If it is suitable, I will sign this contract on Zhang Yiyan's behalf."

"The grasslands also need tea," Li Baolu said thoughtfully, "Why don't you contact the envoys of Tatar and Wacha?"

"It's too involved, I'm afraid of trouble." Gu Jingyun squeezed her hand and said, "Besides, it's soup from someone else's pot. If I go to pick up the meat from the pot, won't I offend the public?"

So it's better to cook a pot of soup by yourself. It's up to you to choose whether to eat meat or drink soup.
