When Qin Chengyu saw Mo Wang standing behind Gu Jingyun with his hands respectful, even though he had already practiced the skill of hiding emotions and anger, he couldn't help but change slightly at this moment.

Seeing Gu Jingyun with a smile on his brow and a calm expression, Qin Chengyu's expression returned to calm. The matter has come to this point, and if he stops Gu Jingyun from using Mo Wang and others, it will be revenge.

He clasped his hands in his sleeves, looked at Gu Jingyun and said with a smile: "Congratulations to my cousin for finding his loyal servant. With the help of Mo Wang and others, I think it will be like a tiger with wings."

Gu Jingyun smiled slightly, "Third Cousin Xie said auspiciously, with their help, it is indeed easier to handle things."

Mo Wang used to be the second steward in charge of Ru Ning's industry. At that time, he was about to take over the entire burden of Ru Ning from the chief steward. Therefore, in terms of understanding of Ru Ning's industry, no one can compare to him.

Now that Mo Wang has arrived at Gu Jingyun's side, it is only a matter of time before he gathers his old servants. If Qin Chengyu didn't mind selling him a favor before, he would help him recall the old servants scattered all over the place.

But preventing Mo Wang and the others from seeing Gu Jingyun was a plan and order made by him and the elders of the clan. At this time, changing the course will not please Gu Jingyun, but it will chill the hearts of other clansmen. It is better to turn a blind eye and let them go to fight.

How many old servants Gu Jingyun can take back and how many old people he can use is his ability, and how much property the clan relatives can take over from Gu Jingyun's hands to take care of them is also their ability.

When Gu Jingyun and Qin Chengyu were standing at the gate of the courtyard chatting, Li Baolu had just been put on a snow-white silver fox light fur cloak by Ziluo. Today's weather is extremely cold and gloomy, as if it is going to snow.

The cloak was sent by the Jiang family. It was originally made for her granddaughter, but she saw that Li Baolu's luggage was thin, so she sent several cloaks and small jackets to keep out the cold.

Although Li Baolu wouldn't be too cold wearing single clothes in winter, people didn't know about it, and Gu Jingyun never refused anyone who came, no matter who gave Baolu something, he would accept it and never refuse.

"There will be many opportunities for them to take advantage of us in the future, and you will feel uneasy if you don't accept them." So Li Baolu bought some clothes and jewelry after only three days in Qinjia Village.

Seeing that Ziluo put the cloak on her and still looked worried that she would be cold, she silently swallowed the three words "no need to wear it".

Forget it, let's wear it, it's not easy to tell everyone that she has internal strength to protect her body and is not afraid of the cold, right? At that time, they didn't scare her to death, but they regarded her as crazy.

Today, two in-laws will come to visit. They are all here for Gu Jingyun, so Qin Chengyu came to look for him early in the morning. When he saw Li Baolu's appearance about to go out, he smiled slightly and said with a kind smile: "Cousin is going out. Why don’t you let your nieces and granddaughters take you, our family has a courtyard on Fuhu Mountain, there is hot soup in it, you can go there to have fun.”

Li Baolu smiled generously, "I was just about to tell my third cousin that we have brought friends to Runing this time, and they live in an inn. I went to the city to buy some things, so I want the mansion to prepare a carriage for me, and Erlin will give Qinghe orders."

"Since there are guests, you should invite them to the house. How can you let guests stay in the inn when you are in Runing?" Qin Chengyu can't wait to go to the inn to invite people immediately.

His attitude is not fake. If people really want to know that he left Gu Jingyun's friend in the inn in Runing City, although Qin's reputation will not be greatly affected, it will definitely leave a lasting impression on those who have heard of it. Hospitality, look down on people's impression.

The reputation of the century-old Qin family has been accumulated bit by bit. Their family is very powerful in Runing, but both the government and the people have a good sense of them. Why?

Because they are cautious and cautious, they never put themselves in the position of the rich and powerful and the family of poetry and books, but position themselves as the family of farming and reading.

Reading is important, but farming is important. Food is the foundation of the people. As long as there are fields, land, people, and books, the inheritance of the Qin family will not be broken.

Therefore, in order to be able to prosper in this land for a long time, the Qin family pays great attention to their reputation. It is not that there are no bad people in the clan, and it is not that they have never had conflicts with outsiders, but unless they are reasonable, the Qin family will not rashly intervene in the government If there is no official judgment, and they don't take it seriously, the Qin family will personally punish and clean up the family.

Of course, if someone from the Qin clan wants to bully the Qin clan, it depends on their permission.

At that time, he went to the inn to invite Gu Jingyun, and he was invited to a box as soon as he went. There were quite a few people standing guard in the inn, and it seemed that he knew how to handle it. He saw that Gu Jingyun and his wife only took one servant with them when they went out, and Zhao Ning was theirs. After he became an apprentice, he thought those people were the bodyguards they hired.

After all, it was a long way from the capital to Runing, Jiushu had just been rehabilitated, and there was not enough manpower, so hiring bodyguards was the best way.

Unexpectedly, those people turned out to be Gu Jingyun's friends, and their identities were unknown.

"Third cousin, don't worry. My two friends are loose-tempered and don't like to be restrained. Even if they are invited, they will not come. They are happy and carefree, so let them live in the city."

"In this case, why not let them live in another courtyard in the city. The second bedroom has two other courtyards in the city, and they have been taken care of by servants. It is convenient and comfortable for them to live there," Qin Chengyu said with a smile: "Don't worry, We little old men don't bother you young people."

Gu Jingyun smiled slightly and said: "Let Baolu ask them first, they are all from the Jianghu, maybe they like to live in inns."

Qin Chengyu was surprised, he obviously didn't expect Gu Jingyun to associate with the Jianghu people, he thought he was a gentry.

However, Qin Chengyu didn't look down on them. Although people from the Jianghu were crude, they always had merits. How could they be ordinary people from the Jianghu in Gu Jingyun's eyes?

For Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu, Qin Chengyu has never missed it on the surface, so he arranged a special car for Li Baolu to travel alone, as well as the accompanying rough envoy, second- and third-class maids and attendants. Luo and Zishan should also be taken.

She went out alone, followed by fourteen people, four horses and two mule carts, plus the carriage she was sitting in, a total of three mighty carriages headed for Runing City.

Li Baolu only hesitated for a moment before accepting his arrangement, she was in a hurry, why waste time on such trivial matters?

Yuan Shanting and Su Anjian wanted to pry the news about Bai Yitang from Li Baolu, so they refused to leave. Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu didn't have time these few days, so they walked around Runing City by themselves, listening to books and drinking tea leisurely every day. It's been an easy day.

They were not at home when Li Baolu arrived at the inn. The shopkeeper came out to greet them, bowed and smiled and said, "Madam is back, please come inside quickly. Young Master Zhao has gone to Qingfeng Academy. Daxia Yuan and Daxia Su are in the teahouse next door. Would you like to help me out?" Did you call him back?"

Since Qin Chengyu came to pick them up in person, the shopkeeper's politeness to them has skyrocketed. They are relatives of the Runing Qin family and nephews of Mr. Qin Ge!

Li Baolu shook her head and said, "No need, let them play by themselves."

After a pause, he asked again, "Did someone come to the inn to look for us recently?"

"That's not true," the shopkeeper thought for a while and leaned forward and said in a low voice: "However, the guy in the store said that someone secretly asked him about the young master and his wife, and they didn't show up again after they were taken to Qin's Village. .”

"Then trouble the shopkeeper to help spread the word that I'm back. I will come to the county during the day and only return to Qin's Village at night."

Although the shopkeeper didn't know why Li Baolu did this, he still happily complied.

The servants of the Qin family who followed Li Baolu into the inn were a little confused, and many of them were forced in to monitor Li Baolu, but with their small brains, they couldn't figure out why Li Baolu would do this.

Ziluo and Zishan were so frightened by Gu Jingyun last night, so they didn't dare to inquire about the news today, so they could only keep their mouths shut and wait behind Li Baolu, completely ignoring the one who was winking at them among the rough envoy servants.

A woman couldn't help it, just in time when she saw Xiao Er brought tea, she took the initiative to take it, turned around to serve tea and snacks for Li Baolu, and asked with a smile: "Who is Mrs. Biao looking for? It's time to ask the family to help, just let a shopkeeper let out the message, the person the Biao wife is looking for may not hear the message, and it will not be good if it delays the Biao wife's affairs."

Li Baolu looked up at her with a half-smile, and then glanced at Zi Luo.

Ziluo's face turned red, and she slapped the old woman on the face with a "slap", and reprimanded: "You have the right to talk to Mrs. Biao about the things that are not well-behaved? Who allowed you to take the tea tray?"

The old woman's face turned red, but she didn't dare to refute, she quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Your servant knows your mistake, it's because of your complacency that you forget the rules for a while."

As he spoke, he slapped his own mouth with a "snap".

Qin's rules have always been strict, what kind of status does what kind of things, she also sees Li Baolu coming to the Qin's house without even bringing a maid, she looks down on her from the bottom of her heart, and is eager to make meritorious service, so she rashly stepped forward to inquire News, who knew that this cousin lady could hold Ziluo even though she was silent?

Ziluo didn't want to do anything, but the woman didn't know, but she knew how much Gu Jingyun loved this cousin, so the eldest lady looked at her especially, and repeatedly ordered her not to be neglected, and she had to serve her wholeheartedly.

So this slap is a must!

Li Baolu watched her slap him ten or so times, and then said flatly: "Okay, step back."

The mother-in-law stood up in fear, "Yes."

"Tsk tsk tsk," Yuan Shanting leaned on the stairs waving his fan, looking at Li Baolu with a half-smile, "Mrs. Gu is such a pomp."

Seeing the outsider who came with them, not only the color of purple roses and purple shirts changed, but also the faces of the four rough women and low-class girls, and the four followers even ran out to block them, watching nervously. them.

Yuan Shanting, who was shaking his fan, was stunned, and stared wide-eyed at the crowd who seemed to be facing a formidable enemy.

Li Baolu couldn't help but let out a "puchi" laugh, stood up and stepped aside and said, "Hero Yuan, Master Su, please take your seat, servants like me have never seen the world, so we are overly nervous."

Su Anjian calmly walked past Yuan Shanting and sat down at Li Baolu's table. Maybe it's because she has never seen the world, but because officials and eunuchs have strict rules, women can't meet outside men alone, right?

Only then did Yuan Shanting think of another layer of Li Baolu's identity. He waved his fan and sat down opposite her with great interest, and even raised his chin triumphantly at a group of servants.
