Traveling through troubled times to escape famine and cultivate crops as a grain merchant

Chapter 831: Huaishan Movement



Chapter 831: Huaishan Movement

There are many people who think this way, and everyone feels a little reluctant to do so.

But there were also many people who understood. Chen tried to smooth things over by saying, "I know. The things are secondary. The most important thing is the account books and letters. These things cannot be lost. If we accidentally put something somewhere else when we go in, Guoguo won't be able to find it when she comes back, and she might get very angry!"

Li was very grateful and clapped her hands, saying, "That's not what I meant. It's not that I won't let you in. It's just that I can't go in. Our little Hua is very active right now. Guo Guo likes it so much, but she's not allowed to go in. Not only is her study not for you to see, she won't let us see it either."

Chen said, "Yes, yes, we know that her business is getting bigger and bigger. The people who come and go are either rich or noble. Many of the things must be very important. I don't dare to go in when you say that. If something goes wrong later, I won't be able to explain it even if I have ten mouths."

The two of them sang the same tune and really dispelled the dissatisfaction of many people. Come to think of it, Zhou Guo's status is different now. What kind of place is the study? If something is lost or damaged in the future and they are asked to compensate, they cannot afford it.

That girl can do such a thing.

Seeing that these people's faces had returned to normal, Li looked at Chen with gratitude. If word really got out that Zhou Guo looked down on the villagers, it would be really troublesome.

Chen gave her a reassuring look. She knew that ordinary people were really not allowed to enter Zhou Guo's study. Li only went in once a day, cleaned it, and came out. She didn't dare to touch anything.

Even the old man in the family wouldn’t go in, so she really didn’t dare to go in either.

These people put aside their grudges and happily watched Li decorate study rooms for several students in the family.

"You know what, this arrangement is really good. I will arrange it like this for my children. Although it won't be exactly the same, it will probably be good."

I can't afford expensive tables and chairs, but can't ordinary wooden ones do?

Zhou Guo came back from the mountains and found a group of people still there, eating snacks and drinking tea in the yard.

She went in, said hello and went back to the study. There were a lot of letters from all over the place in the past two days, and she had to deal with them. She was afraid that she would have to go out again in a few days.

Hu Zi hurried in with the letter and whispered, "Master, there was a letter from Huai Yang saying that there was something unusual happening in Huai Shan."

Zhou Guo was startled and raised his head from the table. "What's the matter?"

Hu Zi handed over the letter and said, "The messenger only said this."

Zhou Guo took the letter, opened it, read it to the end at a glance, and then started reading again from the beginning.

After a while, he put the letter down and pondered.

She said, "The letter said that the northern army seemed to be quietly gathering towards Huaishan."

What does it mean?

The border battle isn't over yet, why are we gathering southwards?

Hu Zi was also surprised, "Could it be that the border battle is over? That shouldn't be the case. I haven't received any news."

Zhou Guo muttered, "Yeah, no news has come out."

The woman in the backyard looked at it, ate and drank, and left in the afternoon.

On the way back, I walked through the front yard.

He caught a glimpse of two people guarding the door of Zhou Guo's study. They didn't look very old, so he was startled. His neck shrank and he didn't even dare to say a word.

After walking a long way out of Zhou's house, someone dared to speak up, "Did you notice that there is someone guarding the door of Zhou Guo's study? I don't know what important things they are discussing inside, but they still have people guarding it?"

"Luckily we didn't go in. If we had, this girl would have thrown us out one by one. I think Li is right. She really can't go in either. It's really for our own good."

Everyone present was a little scared and wanted to ask Chen, but when they looked around, Chen hadn't come out yet.

"That girl is really weird. How can she be so capable? Have you seen it? I don't know what she has been doing outside these two years. She is away for several months at a time. Zhou Gu and Li have been taking care of the family. Every time she comes back, I feel that she has changed a lot. I am not afraid of you laughing at me. Now, I dare not look at her. When I meet her eyes, it is like seeing those adults in the government office. If she looks at me sideways, I will tremble."

Everyone laughed.

"Can you do it? You have watched her grow up, why are you so scared of her? She is not a tiger, can she eat you? When she came back, she greeted us with a big smile. She looked no different from before, just a little taller and older."

Chen was also talking to Li: "Why is Guoguo not in the village for a year or two?"

Li said, "There are so many shops outside. How can she stay in the village all year round? She has to go down to take a look. After all, she has so many people to support at home. If she doesn't find a way to make money, the whole family will have to starve."

Chen laughed and said, "You guys are still living off the wind? The fertilizer we sell every year is enough to make a mountain of food at home, right?"

"Are we just going to eat food? No clothes or anything? No money to spend? Even if we want to sell food, we need a shop."

Chen sighed, "You are enjoying a good life. Good days are coming."

Li rolled her eyes at her. "You don't have a shop or a house? Who added a small courtyard in the city this year?"

Chen smiled and said, "That's all thanks to your family. If it were me in the past, I would have worked hard in the fields all my life and still couldn't afford a brick in the city. Your Guoguo is our lucky star."

Fuxing was frowning in the study room at this moment. He wrote a letter to Laizitou for a while. After thinking for a while, he crumpled up the paper he had just written two words on. He said to Huzi, "Get ready. We will leave tomorrow."

It's better not to go out so late at night. No matter how urgent it is, there is no need to rush at this moment. Besides, she doesn't have to go to war.

She spent half an hour in the study to finish her work before coming out.

When he came out and saw the two people at the door, he was stunned, "Why are you here?"

This was the young and clever follower that Hu Zi had found at her request. He knew a little bit of martial arts, was about the same age as Er Pang, and could run errands.

She didn't know how to name them, so thinking about the current weather, she simply called one Dashu and the other Xiaoshu.

Dashu said respectfully, "Master, Brother Erpang asked us to stay here, saying that there are many people at home today and no one else is allowed to come in."

Zhou Guo waved his hand and said, "Go down. You don't need to guard it now. Just close the door."

The two of them retreated.

Zhou Guo nodded. It turned out that the two people he found were quite obedient.

In the backyard, the family sat in the yard and talked.

When Li saw her come in, she asked, "Why did you find two people to guard the door?"

Zhou Guo sat down and said, "I asked Hu Zi to find them. There are a lot of things to do now, and I need two errand boys. I can't do everything myself, or I'll have to run around like crazy."
