Farming and reading family

Jin Ruyi looked at Gao E uncertainly. That being said, if they really lost, all their plans would probably be wasted.

"I hope so." Jin Ruyi said solemnly, "Losing to Danyang Society is a sign of courage."

Xu Boyan arranged Fu An and the others to live in a small courtyard in the Zhao family. The courtyard had been vacant for a long time and was not cleaned until almost dark.

After everything was packed, Fu An immediately wrote a letter to Lu Yong, asking him to bring people from Danyang Society to participate in the Qingtan Gathering.

The letter stated that Gao was extremely contemptuous of them and also mentioned the gathering of noble people.

He knew that although his senior brother was indifferent to fame and fortune, he made friends with high-ranking officials and nobles, which would attract him more.

But he did not mention Huo Ji, because his senior brother always hated Huo Ji.

He wrote a piece of paper in densely packed tiny handwriting, looked over it carefully before rolling it up, then made a lacquer seal, tied it to the leg of a carrier pigeon, and released it.

Tao Gaozhi can't bring it back this time, and he probably can't take Ghost Mountain with his ability. So he can just drag more people over, and then it won't be a problem of his ability.

In the next two days, someone came directly to Batou Village with the invitation to the Qingtan Yaji, and Gao E arranged for them to go directly to Qingtan Gorge.

Some scholars were quite happy to recite poems, write essays and chat together.

Gao E put a lot of thought into preparing the meals, so even if it was difficult to satisfy everyone, there were always dishes that were edible.

He Jiabei and a group of servants were also very busy, but they were extremely happy.

Think about it, with his status, if he hadn't followed his boss, he would never have been able to encounter such an elegant gathering in his life.

Gao E also went to check the flat area in person. After all, it would be used as a shooting range in the future, so it had to be compacted in one go.

Fortunately, the things are ready-made, and as long as there is enough manpower, it is not a problem to complete the work in two or three days.

Shi Bian brought Tang Mingde over and said, "Boss, Mr. Tang wants to buy this piece of land."

Tang Mingde was amazed to see Gao E's expression. It was weird in He County. Everything he liked belonged to Gao's family.

"We meet again." Gao E looked at Tang Mingde.

Tang Mingde smiled apologetically: "Boss Gao, just tell me what your businesses are. I won't touch them."

Gao refused to sell the seat for the Qingtan Yaji, and now that she has started leveling the area, she will definitely not sell this piece of land.

"That depends on what Boss Tang wants to do next." Gao E said with a smile.

Tang Mingde turned around and looked at the other side: "Boss Gao, don't say that all the land here is yours."

"Most of them." Gao E nodded.

Tang Mingde could only smile and say, "There's nothing I can do."

"Why not take a break for a while and watch the Qingtan Elegant Gathering quietly?" Gao E suggested.

When Tang Mingde mentioned this, he suddenly became excited and said, "I have to publish a collection of poems for this Qingtan Gathering."

"Publish a collection of poems?" Gao E frowned.

Tang Mingde saw Gao E's reaction and knew she didn't know about this yet: "Yes, some gatherings will compile famous works into collections for sale."

Gao E hadn't really thought about this: "You can do this too?"

"Of course, I can contact bookstores to print it into a book and distribute it to bookstores in various places for sale. I won't charge a penny except for the printing fee." Tang Mingde said generously.

"Then what do you want?" Gao E looked at Tang Mingde.

Tang Mingde rubbed his hands together and laughed, "Just put my name on the end of the collection of poems, whatever title I hold."

Gao E thought he wanted a lot: "I can't make the decision on this matter. Mr. Hong is in charge. Mr. Hong runs a bookstore himself."

Tang Mingde instantly wilted: "Boss Gao, why don't you leave a sip of soup for others?"

"People who follow me can eat as much meat as they want, not to mention soup." Gao E looked at Tang Mingde.

She knew that Tang Mingde would never follow her because Tang Mingde's wealth was much higher than hers. If she didn't have something Tang Mingde wanted, Tang Mingde would not pay any attention to her.

Tang Mingde smiled so hard that his eyes disappeared: "Boss Gao is really generous. If Boss Gao wants to do something in the future, think of me. I might be able to do it."

"Okay." Gao E nodded.

"Then I'll take my leave first." Tang Mingde bowed.

Gao E watched Tang Mingde leave. If their people won this time, they could really consider publishing a collection of poems.

He was about to go back when Peng Can came to find her on horseback and said that Mr. Du had returned.

When Gao E arrived home, there were three carriages parked at the door and a lot of people gathered around.

When she entered, the yard was full, and Chen Ke, Yao Shengzhi and others also came over.

"Mrs. Chen is finally back." Du Weiqing shouted when he saw Gao E come in.

Everyone looked at Gao E, and Gao E nodded and looked around as a greeting.

"My humble abode is so humble, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you all." Gao E said apologetically, "Wait a moment."

Everyone was not angry. They probably knew about the situation of the Chen family. They even felt that the Chen family was righteous. Although their family had nothing, they tried their best to protect the entire village.

"That's all right." Huo Ji looked at Gao E with admiration. "Mrs. Chen is so righteous that it puts us to shame."

Gao E was confused and felt like she was being betrayed.

Du Weiqing hurriedly took a step forward: "We'll talk later. Let's arrange accommodation first."

Gao E looked at the people in the yard. Chen Ke had only invited three or four people on the list, but Du Weiqing had a lot more. Overall, it was not much different from what they had prepared before.

It was indeed not convenient for so many people to stay crowded here, so Gao E called out and led them to Qingtan Gorge.

When they arrived at Qingtan Gorge, everyone was amazed. They didn't expect that there was a different world beyond the winding path.

Bin Wang was fishing and turned his head to look over when he heard the sound.

"So many people come again, disturbing my peace." Xue Hanyan said unhappily.

"It's so lively." Prince Bin said as he stood up.

"Grandpa doesn't fish anymore?" Xue Hanyan wondered when her grandpa started to like being in the hustle and bustle?

"I'm not fishing anymore. I haven't caught a single fish in two days." Bin Wang said as he walked over.

Gao E was finally relieved to see that everyone liked this place. If there was a problem with the venue, it would be troublesome.

"Prince Wang." Gao E saw Prince Bin coming over to pay her respects.

Everyone also looked at Prince Bin, and saw that he exuded an air of nobility, yet was quite kind.

"Are you all here to attend the elegant gathering?" Prince Bin's gaze fell directly on Du Weiqing.

"Yes." Gao E nodded. "This is my husband, Chen Ke. This is Mr. Du Weiqing. This is Mr. Hong Shenghong. These celebrities were invited by them."

The three people felt ashamed when they heard Gao E say this. They wanted to hold an elegant gathering, but except for inviting people, Gao E did everything else.

When Prince Bin heard Du Weiqing's words, his eyes lit up. He knew he was right. "I've heard a lot about you."

Everyone nodded.

"As for the rest... I just met them too." Gao E apologized.

"That's okay, we can just introduce ourselves to each other." Du Weiqing said directly.

"Thank you all for your hard work on the journey. I will go and prepare dinner for you first." Gao E said and left.

Although the ingredients have been prepared long ago, we still have to be cautious when preparing for so many people at once.

He Jiabei hurriedly took people to the cowhide tent to put their things. The cowhide tent was very spacious for three people to live in.
