After traveling through time, she still led the villagers to make money as a county magistrate

There was silence again.

Yoshihisa

"But if you come with me, what will happen to the people here? The sugar factory hasn't opened yet. What about your mother, Zhiyao, my herbal medicine shop, and the crispy pork belly shop? Who will they turn to for help when they encounter difficulties?"

"You, if I leave now"

Gu Nian Nian calmed down and returned to the matter

Li Jing fell into thought, "What should they do?"

"Come with us, the herbal medicine shop, the crispy pork belly butcher shop is open anywhere"

Li Jing proposed

Gu Niannian knew that Li Jing was in a state of agitation at the moment, and his words were spoken without thinking.

"Brother Li, what's wrong with you? You're usually calm and composed, why are you so upset now?"

"Lin'an is my hometown. I feel safe there and won't encounter any danger. You can help them get things done here first. When everything here is complete and mature, how about you come over together..."

Gu Niannian said nice words one by one like coaxing a child

"Although I can't live without you, the people here can't live without you even more. You know I don't like to give up halfway through things. Can you help me finish the rest of the work?"

Seeing that he didn't reply, Gu Niannian changed from persuasion mode to coquettish mode.

"two years"

"what?"

Li Jing held up two fingers and said, "Two years. After two years, I will come to Lin'an to find you."

"Two years is enough, let's make an alliance by shaking hands." Gu Niannian stretched out her right hand, palm facing outward.

With a "click", the two-year period was set.

……

The carriage creaked as it moved

"Niannian, what does the government mean by this? Are they promoting you or do they think you've crossed the line?"

Gu Niannian shook her head, "I don't know"

"Don't worry, Mom. Your daughter is so smart. She can handle any challenge with her own strength and any obstacle with her own strength."

Gu Niannian held Bai's pale hand and comforted her.

I said this to my mother. It would be a lie to say I wasn't worried. Normally, the job of issuing appointment documents was done by the Secretariat. It was rare for the Emperor to draft an imperial edict himself. Last time when I had dinner with Eunuch Lin, I wanted to ask him some questions, but the eunuchs who could reach this position were not simple people. Their mouths were tighter than anything else and could not be pried open even if I tried.

But she could also understand that if you make a living in this industry and don't keep a tight lip, you could lose your head.

"But she has no one in the capital, so it's hard to find out the inside story..."

"Hey~ Why doesn't she have anyone? She has people! Isn't Prince Qi a human being? Such a good resource must be utilized, otherwise it would have been a waste of listening to his complaints that night."

Thinking of this, Gu Nian Nian's mood is no longer so heavy.

"Mom, I brought back a lot of chili peppers this time. Now the crispy pork belly in Qingshan County is managed by Lianhua and Zhao Azhi. Their skills are very sophisticated and they can handle it on their own. Don't worry, Mom."

Gu Niannian tried to change the subject

"It's not the shop that Mom is worried about..."

"Is mother afraid that when we return, we'll find out that father has taken on a few more beautiful concubines and get angry?"

"You kid, you always make fun of me. I might have been sad before, but now I feel I can live well on my own, and even better. I'm much more cheerful than before, and I don't think about your father anymore. He's old now, so let him be!"

Bai Shi really let go of things. With Gu Niannian's arrival in Qingshan County, she discovered that as a woman she could also make a difference and have her own world. She no longer confined herself to that so-called world.

She became much more cheerful and even looked more beautiful than before.

But she was still happy to be back home.

"When the enemy comes, we will fight him with our soldiers; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. It's true. We are not a wealthy family, so why would we go to such great lengths?"

Bai in turn comforted Gu Niannian

Mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled.

After returning to Lin'an, they didn't need to buy a house anymore and could live directly in their own home. After two and a half years, Gu Niannian saw the vermilion gate of her own home again.

"Young Master, you're back?" The guard rubbed his eyes when he saw the newcomer, confirming that he was not mistaken.

Gu Niannian was supporting Bai and was about to walk towards the door.

"Master, Madam, I will go in and make an announcement."

"Why go back to your own house and report? We can just go in on our own."

Bai opens his mouth

"The master is talking to a guest..."

The servant at the door was a little embarrassed.

"Let him talk about his own things, and we can go back to our yard without disturbing him."

Bai stepped into the room

Gu Niannian stood still, staring at the boy at the door with a sharp gaze, "What is he talking about? He needs to avoid us."

"I don't know either," the servant said, avoiding his gaze.

"Weren't you my father's servant before? Why are you doing this job as a gatekeeper?"

Gu Niannian looked the servant up and down

"The master told me to stand guard at the door for the next few days. If I see the young master and the old lady coming back, I'll go in and report it!"

Gu Niannian continued to look at him without saying a word

"Master, don't look at me like that. I really don't know anything. I will do whatever you say."

"You just said he was talking about something. What was he talking about?"

Seeing that he was just an obedient servant, Gu Niannian did not make things difficult for him and asked

"The Zhou family came here today. I guess they are discussing something. I don't know what it is specifically about."

"I rarely know what your father does, let alone a servant like him. Let's go and don't embarrass him."

Bai pulled her daughter over and said

As soon as the two of them entered the door, they saw Gu Bole and the master of the Zhou family. It seemed that the discussion was almost over and they were seeing them out.

Gu Bole saw a moment of panic in the two men's eyes, and then they returned to normal, but this panic was clearly seen by Gu Niannian.

Gu Niannian walked forward and said, "Father."

"Who is this?"

Of course Gu Niannian knew who the visitor was, but Gu Rujun didn't know that his brother was only interested in reading books of sages and philosophers, and was oblivious to what was happening outside the window. He knew nothing about business matters.

"Oh, this is the head of the Zhou family, you can just call him Uncle Zhou." Gu Bole reacted and introduced

"Brother Zhou, this is my son, the current magistrate of Lin'an County. I hope you will take good care of him in the future."

When he said this, Gu Bole couldn't hide the pride in his eyes. It wasn't like he was asking others to take care of him. His expression was as if to say, "See! You looked down on me before, but now I ask you to make an appointment to visit me. There's nothing I can do. Who told me that I have a son who is a county magistrate?"

When Master Zhou saw Gu Niannian, his eyes flashed with surprise. "If I remember correctly, your son is only nineteen this year, and he and your daughter are twins. Brother Zhou is really a good teacher. He is young and promising. The younger generation is formidable..."

Mr. Zhou praised Gu Bole so much that he felt like he was floating in the air, not knowing why.

Gu Niannian coughed twice and said, "Dad, my mother and I have been traveling day and night these days. We are so exhausted that it is inconvenient for us to meet guests. Let's go back to the courtyard to tidy up."

Gu Bole waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."

Gu Niannian bowed to the two grandfathers. Seeing this, Mr. Zhou hurriedly returned the greeting. He didn't dare to accept the gift from the county magistrate.
