Hong Xue stood there with some anxiety. She was not very brave. The girl asked her a little helpless.

Gu Qingyi looked at her and wanted to laugh, "You are busy with yours, I'll look around."

Hong Xue nodded quickly and breathed a sigh of relief. She really didn't know what to say to the girl.

There is not much fabric stored in the dyeing workshop. The silk weaving needs to be purchased from other places. The cannabis inventory may still last for a while, mainly because the amount used during this period is too much.

In the north, the textile fabrics are mainly made of bald fiber plants such as kudzu, hemp, and ramie, but kudzu has high requirements for climate and soil quality, and planting is limited to mountainous areas. The processing of ramie is more troublesome, so people in the north wear coarse cannabis cloth.

It is more popular in the south to cultivate mulberry trees, but there are some in the north, but there are not many. There are also Gufuwu Fort, but the silk spit out of silkworm trees is only for owners like Gu Qingyi.

The living environment changes during the wartime period, and raising silkworms is a dangerous job, and Gu Qingyi does not intend to popularize it, after all, the cost is also high.

After she was a little more stable, she remembered that the method of fermenting the hemp also needed to be done. The extracted hemp silk was thin and soft, and the linen cloth was made was white, but she couldn't remember it for a moment, so she could only wait until she remembered it before talking.

Gu Qingyi walked through several yards and basically worked well. Now he was just waiting for Yuan Jiulang to come to Yuzhou. He didn't know how Xi Changnian was doing. He could have made gunpowder.

But probably because Xi has been used to making elixirs and making meatballs for many years, he also likes to make the gunpowder into meatballs. It is probably what Gu Qingyi described to him at the beginning, and he is now keen on making various round explosives.

Taoist Xi, who is obsessed with alchemy, still has his own persistence even if he is forced to change his career.

Because the gunpowder ratio has not been fully mastered, Xi Changnian made a projectile that is as big as a palm, and its power can only radiate one or two meters around, and its lethality is not very large.

However, Gu Qingyi was also very surprised.

She just relies on her mouth to output, but she really relies on her hands to output. She should be content. There is still a lot of room for improvement in the future and the future is promising.

She walked back to her yard. Since she came to Yuzhou, Gu Qingyi has often hiked everywhere to observe. After walking at least ten kilometers a day, she felt that her physical strength and perseverance had risen sharply, just like she had walked a long circle around the fort, but she didn't feel tired after returning.

"Girl, Jinyang has written a letter. I am just about to go out to find you." Mianchun smiled and said.

Gu Qingyi's eyes lit up, "Take it and take it to me and take a look."

It was hot, and Gu Qingyi stopped entering the house. She sat down on the vine mat under the big tree in the yard and opened it with a few words of Mianchun.

The first thing that caught my eye was that my father and mother went to the Li family in Anding County to propose marriage. The Li family agreed, and Gu Qingyi's eyes lit up. It was really good news.

Thinking about Li Mingying being his sister-in-law from now on, I feel very happy.

Compared with other gentry ladies, Li Mingying may not be the smartest, nor the most beautiful, or even the most famous, at least not as good as the Pei family.

However, during the days when Gu Qingyi and Li Mingying were together, he found that Li Mingying was a person who had his own ideas, knew to be considerate and able to judge the situation.

In such a situation, nothing is more prominent than the advantage of judging the situation.

Especially Li Mingying's temperament is very consistent with Gu Qingyi, she is refreshing and generous but meticulous, and it is better to be a clan wife.

Alas, the only shame is that her brother didn't have the chance to meet Li Mingying on the front line. Fortunately, he was familiar with both of them, so it shouldn't be a big problem when they get along.

Looking further down, I saw that Ah Father and Li’s family had actually made a wedding date, just after the autumn harvest this year.

So fast?

The letter states that the situation in Bingzhou is in a flash, even though A’s father and mother feel that since neither side has any objection and Li Mingying has already reached the age of birth, the marriage will naturally get started soon.

Here I told Gu Qingyi that my mother was coming back to prepare for the betrothal gifts and other items for the Li family. Gu Qingyi thought that the marriage was urgent enough, and it would be less than two months after the autumn harvest.

The letter arrived first, and the next day Gu’s mother returned to Uizhou.

Gu Qingyi:...

Then what else do you write to do when you come back?

He happily welcomed his mother into the house. Before he could speak, he listened to his mother: "What the Li family means is that the wedding date is before the autumn harvest, and it is the best in July."

Gu Qingyi's words were pressed back and looked at her mother with wide eyes, "July? It's been a few days now. It's been a haste after the autumn harvest. Why did it change to July again?"

This is not good news for Li Mingying. A legitimate daughter like her must have a show of getting married, otherwise wouldn't she be joked about it?

When Gu's mother heard her daughter ask about this, she looked a little unfavorable. "Ming of Liangzhou has long been optimistic about Mingying and thought it was a foregone conclusion about this marriage. But now Li Mingying has discussed a marriage with our family and is annoyed there."

Gu’s mother said it simply, but Gu Qingyi could think that the Ming family had done something bad, otherwise the Li family would not have asked Li Mingying to get married so quickly.

***

At this time, Mrs. Li Er was so angry that she was about to jump off her feet. She said to her daughter with a dark face: "It's simply unreasonable. What's your relationship with Dalang of the Ming family? I didn't say anything in private. Mrs. Ming's mouth was simply nonsense. This obviously ruined your reputation. I was really blind and thought she was a good person."

The second wife of Li became more and more angry as she spoke. She was so angry that her whole body trembled and her face turned pale blue.

Li Mingying hurriedly helped her mother sit down, and said calmly: "The Ming family has always been doing this. I reminded you earlier. However, the mother doesn't have to be angry. The marriage with the Gu family has been decided. No matter how hard the Ming family jumps, it cannot be changed."

"Am I worried about this? I am worried that the Gu family is dissatisfied with you when they know this." Mrs. Li said, her eyes turned red, and she had such right and wrong before she entered the door. If her daughter was underestimated by Mrs. Gu for this, how can she gain a foothold when she entered the door in the future?

"No." Although Li Mingying was uneasy, she still wanted to comfort her mother, "The daughter acted openly and was not afraid of others' words."

"You don't understand. Between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. Originally, the family background of our Li family and Gu family was suppressed by the late emperor for many years, and it was slightly inferior to the Li family. If you married in the past, you would have a low marriage confidence and life would be better. But now..."

Mrs. Li regretted it so much that she was filled with water in her ears and her eyes were covered in dust. She didn't see clearly that Mrs. Ming was such a villain, but she hurt her daughter.

Li Mingying was silent for a moment, remembering the days she spent with Gu Qingyi, the Gu family might not be that kind of family.

"Mother, if you have the patriarch and father, don't be anxious and angry, it hurts your health." Li Mingying comforted her carefully, "What's more, her daughter stayed in Yuzhou for a few days and got along with Gu Niang. I think she wouldn't believe these rumors."

After her daughter returned from Huzhou, she admired Gu very much. Mrs. Li Er was still a little dissatisfied. Her daughter was a star in the sky, and she was full of praise for other people's girls.

Now listening to her daughter saying this, she was full of hope that the Gu family would be a bright and clear-headed family, and they were all reasonable and never go into detail about the lies that the thief woman in the Ming family said.

The more Mrs. Li thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. It was all her good things she did!

Thinking about it, I told my daughter that my family was good, and I felt that my face hurt even more.

She felt guilty and looked at her daughter and said, "Mingying, don't worry, my mother must have prepared your dowry in a thick way, and she will never let you enter the Gu family and be underestimated."

Lee Mingying:...

She didn't mean that, but obviously her mother thought that her daughter's family background was the first, and her dowry was the second.

Mrs. Li was a little stubborn at the time, so the dowry given by her parents when she got married was the most generous of the girl in the clan. Moreover, after so many years of marrying into the Li family, although his husband was a little fickle, he was very generous to her, the wife, and she really had a lot of good things in her hands.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Li was even more angry, "I have to go find your father. If something happens like this, he must give you a little more dowry. You can't get a few more."

The other few are naturally the children born by Aunt Sang.

Li Mingying couldn't stop him. Looking at her mother who was still yelling at her discomfort, she rushed to the front yard with her energy, and she could only remain silent.

Forget it, my mother is happy.

As for Ah Father, Li Mingying smiled. As for her elders, she, a junior, was not easy to talk nonsense, but even if Aunt Sang gave birth to one more child than Ah Mother, she was still just a concubine.

It was just that Aunt Sang's children suffered a lot of grievances because of her biological mother.

Just as he was thinking, Li Chaying ran over and looked at her cousin and said, "I'm so angry. That Mingzan is so dirty. He is ignorant. I don't believe him or not. He is just a performer, forcing you to turn back."

"Since you know, why are you angry?" Li Mingying smiled and said, looking at her sister who was about to jump.

Just as Li Chaying was about to speak, he heard another delicate voice coming in, "Sister, the fifth sister makes sense. The Ming family does this to ruin your reputation, so you can't do this."

Hearing this voice, Li Chaying frowned slightly, turned her head to look at Li Lanying in a goose yellow dress, "Why did the Fourth Sister come suddenly? You are such a rare guest."

"My fifth sister is still unforgivable. I usually just love reading a few books and don't want to go out. But when my third sister encounters such a thing, how can I remain indifferent as a Li family girl?" Li Lanying said.

"Come in, do whatever you want when you block the door, and you are not afraid of people making jokes." Li Mingying said after looking at her two sisters.

Li Chaying hates Aunt Sang very much, and she used to live in Huikang, who only had the memory of Li Lanying as a child, which was very bad.

This time she came back from Hye Kang to live for a long time, and she met Li Lanying very well. Li Chaying was too lazy to pay attention to her, and Li Lanying didn't come to her.

It is rare that the two of them got together because of Li Mingying's incident this time, so the atmosphere is naturally not very good.

"These are all small things. You don't have to take them to heart. Do whatever you should do on weekdays." Li Mingying said to her two sisters.

Li Chaying frowned, "How can this be done? Your marriage with the Gu family has been decided. If you let such a thing spread, even if Aunt Gu is gentle in nature, you will inevitably feel unhappy."

"Huikang's ancestors are well-known, but now they are not as good as the Li family. The fifth sister has a good relationship with Gu, so there is no need to belittle her second sister like this." Li Lanying frowned and said.

Li Chaying's eyebrows were pissed, "What do you know, a nerd who never leaves the door and doesn't go out? I'll tell you to put away your fake aloofness. You can't talk to the Gu family. If the Gu family fails, the patriarch will agree to this marriage? It's really short-sighted."

Li Lanying said angrily: "You..."

"Okay, if you argue, I will put you in custody again." Li Mingying looked at the two and said.

Li Lanying took a deep breath, her eyes were already a little red. She looked at Li Chaying and said, "I know you have always hated me, but we are all Li's daughters, both prospering and both losing. I care about my second sister. Whether I say I have selfish intentions or purpose, the reputation of the Li girl cannot be damaged. Not only me, but my eldest sister and second sister are going to return home today, for this matter."

Li Chaying looked at Li Lanying and couldn't help but mutter in her heart, saying that she was better than singing.

Li Lanying stopped looking at Li Chaying, looked up at her second sister and said, "Second sister, Aunt Zhang left early. Although the eldest sister and the second sister are married, one married into the Yang family and the other married into the Luo family. Whether it is the Yang family in Yongzhou or the Luo family in Qinzhou, plus the Ming family in Liangzhou, our families have frequent contacts over the years. Now that such a thing has happened, I am afraid that the Yang family and the Luo family are suspicious, and it is not easy for the two sisters to return home."

Especially now that the Hu Hu is invading the mirror, Jin is full of smoke. Although the war is now in Youzhou, who knows what will happen next?

Li Chaying looked at Li Lanying in surprise, but she didn't expect that this nerd had something in her stomach.

Yes, Aunt Sang is so cunning, how could the daughter she gave birth to is ignorant?

Aunt Zhang was the first concubine of Li Mingying's father. She gave birth to two daughters, and was a girl from the Li family of different generations. However, she got married a few years ago and did not interact with her parents after getting married.

This time I suddenly came back and Li Lanying said right, things won’t be that simple.

Li Chaying glanced at Li Lanying again.

Li Lanying noticed Li Chaying's eyes became even more angry, but she resisted the sourness in her eyes. There was no way, who told her biological mother to be Aunt Sang?

Li Mingying didn't expect that the eldest and second sisters would come back at this time. She thought that it would be two days later. In this way, whether it was the Yang family or the Luo family, they were afraid that they would want to know the Li family's attitude towards the Ming family now.

With the support of the emperor's uncle, the Gu family in the Guzhou re-taken control of Bingzhou to see the current situation is probably a matter of time. Once the Gu family holds Bingzhou as the key place, it will have a great relationship with the Yang family, Luo family and Ming family around them.

At this moment, the Li family and the only male member of the Gu family had an engagement, and the wedding date was set, and the Ming family was going to make trouble. Of course, the Yang family and the Luo family also wanted to know the relationship here.

The marriage between the Li family and the Gu family undoubtedly broke the situation that had been balanced in front of him.
