My parents are both dead, I rely on fishing and farming to support my younger siblings

Gu Lili's land was gradually planted, and the workshop gradually returned to normal. Gu Lili even selected several reliable people from those who helped with farming and added them to the workshop.

The reputation of the soap gradually spread, and the workshop now had to add more staff to accommodate the merchants who came to buy the goods.

Since several apprentices who were learning mother-of-pearl received monthly salaries, the number of people coming to learn gradually increased.

Even the contract that they were extremely reluctant to sign at first was signed by everyone.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

But sometimes, Gu Lili would stare at the courtyard where Yin Jiuchen used to live.

She occasionally took out the letters Yin Jiuchen wrote to her and read them.

When Yin Jiuchen asked me to wait for him, I didn’t know what he meant.

The things she asked Uncle Fa Cai to deliver have already helped Yin Jiuchen repel the enemy.

Gu Lili asked Uncle Fa Cai to send a batch of Kongming lanterns and Ma Fei San.

When the wind was blowing towards the Fuso military camp, they released the Kongming lanterns filled with Ma Fei San.

Therefore, Yin Jiuchen defeated the enemy forces of Fuso almost effortlessly.

I heard from Uncle Fa Cai that the Fuso Kingdom finally surrendered and was willing to belong to the Nanyue Kingdom.

After defeating the enemy, Yin Jiuchen should have returned to the court to deal with the affairs of Fuso.

Gu Lili waited for several months but did not receive any news.

Of course, Gu Lili didn't want to receive it, she thought it was good this way.

The snow came early this winter. When the first snow fell, Li Ershu returned from Jiangdu with Liu Miaoyin and Mrs. Liu.

Li Ershu and Li Tiansheng had already reached the age to get married. After the three elders discussed it, they decided to finalize the marriage during the Chinese New Year.

Gu Chenxi is an orphan, so Liu Ying waved her hand and simply adopted Gu Chenxi as her adopted daughter.

It just so happens that they could marry into the Li family together.

Li Ershu had already asked Old Man Li and Old Lady Li to build three courtyards, one courtyard for each of the three brothers.

Each of the brothers' homes deliberately left a room empty for Old Mrs. Li and Old Man Li.

The Li family is really lively today, as they are marrying two daughters-in-law together.

The gates of the three courtyards were all hung with red silk, which looked very festive.

Gu Lili also prepared a generous dowry for Gu Chenxi.

Zuo Xiuhong's belly is already bulging, and it looks like she will give birth soon.

At this moment, he was sitting at a table with Gu Lili, watching the ceremony.

After the ceremony, when the newlyweds were sent to the bridal chamber, everyone started to eat the feast.

This meal was prepared by Zhang Dahua and several students from the girls' school. It was really delicious.

Seeing her two uncles getting married, Gu Lili was very happy.

"Lili, your aunt will offer you a glass of tea instead of wine. Thank you for putting aside the past grudges and helping me and your uncle." Zuo Xiuhong said with a smile.

Gu Lili saw that Zuo Xiuhong had changed completely, so she gave them a clear way out.

They can sell these pork intestines, blood stew and braised meat to various restaurants.

Baiweixuan already has many signature dishes, and these are no shortage of them.

Having learned from the previous experience, Zuo Xiuhong worked very seriously and never encountered the problem of not cleaning thoroughly again.

They also bought a carriage through their own efforts.

This way, it will be convenient to deliver goods to surrounding towns.

These braised dishes and Maoxuewang are indeed very popular. Although Li Qingshan and his wife are a little tired, they have earned a lot of money.

Although they may not earn as much as Li Ershu and Li Tiansheng, they also know how to be content.

After all, Li Qingshan is really not good at speaking.

Recently, Zuo Xiuhong is getting pregnant, and they even asked people from the village to help with the work.

Life is getting better and better.

Gu Lili smiled and shook her head, then raised the glass and drank it all.

Family members are getting better and better, so Gu Lili is naturally happy.

After attending the weddings of her two uncles, Gu Lili went home.

Because she drank some wine, Gu Lili felt dizzy.

After returning home, Gu Lili spotted the Saker Falcon that he and Yin Jiuchen had found in the mountains before.

At this time, he was squatting in his own stable.

If it weren't for Gu Lili's sharp eyes, she would have almost missed the Saker Falcon that almost blended into the snow scene.

"Hey, look! The Saker Falcon from before has flown back again!"

Gu Lili pointed at the Saker Falcon in the stable and said.

Everyone looked in the direction Gu Lili pointed and saw that it was indeed the case.

"Isn't this the Snow Tiger of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Wei Yin said.

Recently, the secret guards also went to the banquet with Gu Lili, so when they came back, they came back together.

"Snow Tiger?"

Gu Lili almost laughed out loud. "Isn't it better to call you Bai Feng than Bai Hu?"

After all, the white phoenix and the Saker Falcon are the same species!

Yin Jiuchen is a genius at naming. If Gu Lili knew that Zhuifeng's original name was Bailang, she would probably laugh her head off.

However, this Saker Falcon belongs to Yin Jiuchen, so Gu Lili is not curious about it at all.

"Yes, His Highness has raised this Haidongqing for three or four years and uses it specifically for delivering letters." Wei Yin explained with a smile.

Gu Lili couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.

"Shouldn't it be used for hunting?"

This is simply a waste of talent.

Wei Yin scratched his head and said, "I also hunt for it, but more often, I use it to deliver messages."

Well, sending a letter is fine.

After all, birds have an excellent sense of direction.

Speaking of delivering letters, Gu Lili seemed to have thought of something and walked to Haidongqing curiously to check it out.

I saw that there was indeed a small bamboo tube tied around the Saker Falcon's ankle.

"This seems to be a real letter." Gu Lili pointed at the bamboo tube.

Wei Yin hurried forward, took down the bamboo tube, opened it, took out the letter inside, and handed it to Gu Lili with both hands.

"Is this a letter for me?" Gu Lili asked curiously.

Gu Lili couldn't help but mutter in her heart, Wei Yin gave it to her without even looking at it, how was he sure?

Wei Yin said seriously, "We have other channels to contact His Highness, and we don't need Xue Hu to deliver the message."

Okay, Gu Lili nodded helplessly.

Since it was written to herself, Gu Lili simply opened it and started reading.

After reading it, Gu Lili couldn't help but frown.

"Sister, what did Brother Changan write?" Gu Huanhuan asked curiously.

Gu Huanhuan missed Chang'an as she hadn't seen him for a long time.

Gu Lili sighed and said, "She told me to go to the capital immediately."

The letter said that Fuso had surrendered to the Nanyue Kingdom and had sent envoys to Shangjing to discuss the specific details.

However, among the officials who went to the capital, there were very few who were proficient in Fuso language, so Yin Jiuchen thought of Gu Lili.

He wanted Gu Lili to go to Shangjing to help him complete the negotiations.

"Going to Beijing to play? Sister, can you take me with you this time?"
