Ji Zhenniang said disgustedly: "Gu Xiaoyu, didn't you stock up on a lot of supplies? Why do you only eat one egg for one meal? No meat?"

Gu Jinli chuckled: "You still want to eat meat? That's for the New Year. Just be content with the eggs. These are still dead eggs that can't be nested. If they were live eggs, you wouldn't want to eat them."

The live eggs should be kept in the nest to hatch the chicks.

Then he pointed at the plate of fried radish slices with his chopsticks: "There are still radishes. There are a lot of vegetables. Eat quickly."

Ji Zhenniang was angry: "It's just a plate of fried radish, and you still have the nerve to say there's a lot of vegetables? You've never seen any vegetables, have you?!"

Gu Jinli raised his eyebrows, and he was still arguing with her over some carrots. It seemed that Lin Qianhu's incident did not affect her too deeply.

She said: "There is so much nonsense. Xiaoping is not picky about food like you, so hurry up and eat."

After hearing this, Ji Zhenniang asked about Xiaoping Xilai: "Isn't that boy always having dinner with you? Where is he?"

Gu Jinli put a few radishes with chopsticks into the bowl, scooped out the radishes and grain porridge with a spoon and said, "It was a bit messy today. He, Xiao Yantai and the others had eaten early and had already gone to bed."

"That's it." Ji Zhenniang didn't know why, but she thought of her little Zhuzhu again, and said with tears: "Xie Cheng and I haven't seen Zhuzhu for a whole year. She must have grown up a lot now. She must have grown up a lot now." I miss us so much... I wonder if we will be bullied by bad kids from other relatives because we are not around. If I know that there are bad kids from relatives bullying us, Zhuzhu, I will definitely beat them until they cry for father and mother!"

After hearing this, Gu Jinli was about to comfort her when he heard Ji Zhenniang gritted her teeth and said: "I swear that I will live in the northwest, live like a lady, go home in glory, and let my Zhuzhu become a high-ranking official. Girl, don’t let her be bullied again!”

This oath is quite inspiring, but your little Zhuzhu lives with her grandparents. The Xie family is also a wealthy family in Yujiang County, and Xie Cheng is from a thousand households. How could she be bullied?

"Well, you must be able to do what you say and make your little Zhuzhu a high-ranking daughter." Gu Jinli agreed. After eating, someone brought a basin of hot water to Ji Zhenniang to wash, and the two of them slept together.

It was half past midnight the next day, when it was still dark, Gu Jinli woke up and got up first without disturbing Ji Zhenniang.

When Aunt Tao and Aunt Yu saw her waking up, they said, "Madam, you got up too early. We have arranged the morning work, and Yao Baihu, Mutong, and You Xi are also responsible for the outside matters. You don't have to Got up so early."

When the adults left, they left a message, asking them to take good care of the madam and let her rest more and not be too tired.

Gu Jinli smiled and said, "I'm not sleepy. I can get up and take a look. I can still take a nap at noon, so you don't have to worry."

Then he asked: "Have Lao Bao and the others set off on their journey? Have you given the money to Lao Bao?"

There are no wells in Changliangwei, so every morning they have to lead a team of watermen to the nearby Grizzlywei to fetch water.

But Zhuang Qianhu of the Grizzly Guard had a good relationship with Vice General Yue. She was afraid that Zhuang Qianhu would make things difficult for them and not let their people fetch water. She made an agreement yesterday that she would ask Lao Bao to find Danian when he went to fetch water. She and Brother Qin took some money from their private treasury. If the Grizzly Guard people don't give them water, they will spend money to buy it. They must talk about the daily water intake. If there is no water, it will be troublesome.

Just as he was asking, Daqing came to report, saying that news had come from Danian: "Bao Zongqi has gone to Danian, picked up fifty taels of silver, took thirty people with him, and drove away. If everything goes well, we will arrive before the official time in the afternoon." Can come back."

After hearing this, Gu Jinli nodded and said, "Yes, I understand. Let's eat dry food today and save water to avoid any accidents. We don't have a drop of water."

"Yes." Daqing went down to tell Danian, and asked Danian to inform his relatives and Yao Baihu.

Gu Jinli was busy with other things.

There was a lot of work in the early morning. The first thing the Changliangwei people did after they got up was to trap insects. After that, they had breakfast, and then they went to work on the assigned tasks in batches.

Some went to take over the patrols of the night patrol officers, some went to the mountains to cut firewood, some shelled a day's worth of grain, tended the livestock, and some dug traps for the Changliang Guards.

Changliang Guard was too big, and Qin Sanlang took away most of the soldiers. Gu Jinli was very worried about Changliang Guard's defense, so he spent an hour drawing a defense map.

"Changliang Guard is too big. We have many relatives, so we must use poison as defense." Gu Jinli pointed to the map of Changliang Guard and said: "With the place where we live as the center, drive a row of zigzag wooden stakes in Changliang Guard. Surround Changliang Wei twice, then put a brazier on top of the wooden pile, put poison in it, and let the poisonous smoke float out. If the enemy makes a surprise attack, he will be unconscious for a day and night after smoking the poisonous smoke, but we only need to eat it every day The antidote is ready in one go, and you won’t be harmed by the poisonous smoke…it just costs a lot of medicinal materials.”

When Gu Jinli said the last few words, his heart ached so much.

But they had just arrived, Brother Qin was not here, and the guardhouse was short of manpower, so these medicines could not be spared.

If you save it, they will die if they encounter the enemy!

Gu Jinli looked at Uncle Mutong: "Uncle Mutong, this is a delicate job, I'll leave it to you."

Uncle Mu Tong has been helping here in Daokou Gou in recent months. Gu Jinli has not seen him for several months. Now everyone is gathered together. She can leave many trivial matters outside to Uncle Mu Tong. Everyone feels that Much more relaxed.

but……

Uncle Mutong has aged a lot and has gray hair on his temples. He must have been busy this year.

Mu Tong saw the shame on Gu Jinli's face and the gaze she cast on his head, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, little boss, I'm in good health and I'm getting older. It's normal for me to have gray hair, so there's no need to worry. "

Master Yan and Lao Lu were also there. After hearing Gu Jinli's defense method, their eyes lit up. Lao Lu took the lead and said, "Madam's idea is good. Let's do it this way. It's safer."

Lao Lu used to be the leader of the dead soldiers of the Qin family, and Qin Sanlang respectfully called him Uncle Yu. He was very experienced in this field. Seeing that he agreed, Gu Jinli no longer felt sorry for the medicinal materials.

Gu Jinli took a pen and wrote a poison prescription and gave it to Uncle Mutong: "Uncle Mutong, prepare the medicinal materials according to the prescription. If there are any missing medicinal materials, just tell me and I will change the prescription."

The medicinal materials are dead, but the prescriptions are alive. In the absence of certain medicinal materials, the poison can still be effective as long as the prescription is changed.

"Sure, I'll do it right away." Uncle Mu Tong took the prescription and left, while Lao Lu and Master Yan also left.

One led people to survey Chang Liang Wei's land and look for shallow water layers to prepare for drilling a well next year.

One is taking people to dig wood piles and prepare a brazier.

In Changliang Wei, everyone was busy again. It was not until almost midnight that all the wooden stakes were driven.

Qian Qinghe said that they had to cut down many more trees because of this, but they were so tired that they almost died, and the family ran to Gu Jinli to make a fuss again.

But Gu Jinli had no time to pay attention to them, she was anxiously waiting for Lao Bao and the others.

Lao Bao and the others had been going to the Grizzly Guard to fetch water since before dawn. It was almost a day, but they still hadn't come back. It seemed like something unexpected had happened.
