Farming and reading family

She didn't care at the time, thinking that Xu Boyan would leave He County sooner or later.

Thinking about it now, Xu Boyan knew what the worst would be like at that time, and the greatest kindness he could do to her was to take her away with him.

After figuring this out, she sneered: "Master Xu has a good master, but the rest of us are pitiful and can only be our own masters."

Xu Boyan was not joking with Gao E. His current situation was not good.

In his plan, Prince Bin would come to He County, Marquis Jingyang's men would come to He County, and even the eldest princess would come to He County...

When these forces compete, they will have enough space to survive.

"I didn't expect..." Xu Boyan started to explain unconsciously, then closed his eyes weakly.

Gao E was right, these were all his plans and he could not control them.

"It's useless to think too much about something that hasn't happened." Gao E saw that Xu Boyan didn't intend to continue explaining. "Master Xu said to delay time, which means the result can't be changed."

Xu Boyan was silent.

He didn't expect that he would be so helpless in the small He County.

"I understand." Gao E seemed to be talking to herself. "Just think of it as stealing some things from the Tao family. It's not bad."

Xu Boyan didn't know what to say. Gao E must be very disappointed in him.

"Master Xu, if you have nothing else to say, please go back first. After all, there are still many things to deal with." Gao E ordered him to leave. "Remember to return my brother's clothes. Although they are made of coarse cloth, they are very precious to a family like ours."

Xu Boyan looked at his clothes and stood up to leave.

Gao E looked at Xu Boyan's back.

After Xu Boyan's back disappeared, the courtyard became foggy, gray and seemed to swallow everything.

"Boss?" Lianxin came over and saw the boss staring at the gate in a daze.

"Go and invite Xiao Chuyun over later." Gao E added, "Go later, wait for my eldest brother to come back."

"Okay." Lianxin felt that the boss was a little distracted.

Xiao Chuyun and Chen Qing discussed how to harvest the crops when it rained, but they didn't come to an agreement because even if the crops were harvested, they would get moldy and sprout due to the moisture, just like they were left in the field.

The final conclusion is to harvest more pumpkins. The pumpkins do not need to be dried, but if they are not harvested after the rain, they will get soaked and rot.

There are also peanuts and beans. When you come back and peel them, you can keep as many as you can.

After the two of them finished discussing, Chen Qing went to discuss with the head of the village, and Lianxin called Xiao Chuyun over.

"Boss, do you want to talk to me about something?" Xiao Chuyun walked into the main room and sat next to the brazier.

"Are you afraid of the cold?" Gao E looked at Xiao Chuyun warming his hands.

"I've been afraid of the cold since I was a child." Xiao Chuyun rubbed his hands. "When I was little, my father said that I was burning firewood and driving our family into poverty."

Gao E smiled and said, "You know the mountains and forests around here very well, but where do you hide sometimes?"

Xiao Chuyun was a little puzzled: "The boss wants to..."

"I think there is no wall or anything in the village, so if we encounter bandits, there will be a place to hide." Gao E explained.

"Qingtan Gorge is great." Xiao Chuyun said directly.

"If I'm discovered by bandits, they'll keep me in their sight. I want to live in the deep mountains, where they won't find me."

Xiao Chuyun thought about it seriously and said, "There are many ferocious beasts in the mountains."

"Don't worry about the beast."

"There is a place, right behind, with a big cave, but it's too far away. It takes almost a day to walk in." Xiao Chuyun felt that the boss might want a place closer to the village.

"Okay, take my elder brother and Luo Dagang to check it out tomorrow. Do many people there know about it?" Gao E was a little worried.

"As far as the hunters who went into the mountains with me know, they wouldn't go there alone."

Gao E nodded: "Okay."

Xu Boyan prepared a way out for himself, and Gao E also had to prepare a way out for herself. It was very inconvenient for her to support her family.

"Actually, there is another place, which is a bit far away. As long as there is food, you can live there for a long time and you can also farm." Xiao Chuyun still said his favorite place.

"Where?" Gao E planned to hide in there for a long time.

"It's at the border with Qinzhou. I can take Brother Luo and Brother Chen to see it." Xiao Chuyun suggested.

"Okay, let's check out both places." Gao E nodded.

The rain stopped the next day, but the sky was gloomy and it looked like it would rain again at any moment.

Early in the morning, Xiao Chuyun took Chen Qing and Luo Dagang out, and Gao E was packing at home.

When her mind is too confused and she feels she can't control the things around her, she inexplicably likes to tidy up things, and she will slowly calm down in the process.

"Second sister-in-law, we can do these things." Tian followed Gao E and felt a little at a loss.

"It's okay." Gao E just wanted to pack up her things. "Go and do something else."

At this time, Liang Jiange and the other three arrived.

"Where is my master?" Liang Jiange asked as soon as he entered the room.

"He went out for something." Gao E saw that the four of them, plus two servants, were all in the main room. "What's going on?"

"Rainy days are suitable for eating barbecue. Brother Mo said that we can definitely eat barbecue at Madam Chen's place." Liang Jiange laughed.

Ever since becoming Lu Qingluo's disciple, Liang Jiange has become familiar with the Chen family.

Gao E looked outside and said, "Wait a moment, I need to get ready."

"Okay." Liang Jiange invited them to sit in the thatched pavilion.

Gao E asked Lian Xin to prepare the charcoal fire and other things, and she personally went to Peng Can to kill a chicken. She also asked Tian Shi to pick vegetables such as eggplants and also picked perilla leaves...

Marinate it and prepare the dipping sauce, then it’s ready.

Prince Bin thought that the Chen family’s food tasted good, but barbecue might not be delicious, after all, it was more particular.

Who knew that the aroma would come out as soon as the ingredients were put on the iron plate? It feels great to grill them around the iron plate.

"Be careful not to get any spills on your clothes," Gao E reminded them.

"It's just a piece of clothing." Prince Bin didn't care.

Gao E took a look at his clothes. The silver embroidery on them was enough for an ordinary farmer to eat for at least three to five years.

"It's not cooked yet." Gao E saw that Wang Bin was trying to pick up some food.

"Let me take a look." Wang Bin put it in front of him.

Xue Hanyan pretended not to see it, as her prince liked this very much.

Just as Gao E said it was time to eat, the door was kicked open and a group of people looked towards the door.

Tao Gaozhi strode in with his hands behind his back: "Gao E, come out."

Gao E frowned, thinking that this must be the Tao Gaozhi that Xu Boyan mentioned.

In the past, people in Baotou Village called Gao E "Mrs. Scholar", and the elders called her Mrs. Gao.

Later, people called her Mrs. Chen.

Later, people who worked for her called her Dongjia, and people who did business with her called her Boss Gao...

It was the first time someone called her name like that. It was very rude, but Gao E didn't care. She preferred to call strangers by their names directly.

"I'm Gao E, may I ask who you are..." Gao E stood up.

Wang Bin and the others also stood up and looked at the aggressive group of people.

"Hand over the title deed to Ghost Crying Mountain. Here is six thousand taels of silver." Tao Gaozhi said as he threw the silver note on the ground.
