Farming and reading lady

Gu Xixian naturally accepted Gu Shaoye and his friends' decision. It was just a matter of allocating an extra yard, and there was no need to change the overall plan. The brother and sister were kept for dinner before leaving. When they arrived at Tong's house, it was late at night, but the lights in the hall were still on. The brother and sister looked at each other and hurried to the hall. Under the dim light, Tong Mingyan and his wife were sitting and chatting.

The two of them felt warm and sad in their hearts, and they knelt on the ground directly: "Teacher, Master's wife!"

There was a slight choke in his tone. This is their other home, this is their other set of parents!

"Look at these two kids, what are they doing? Get up, get up." Yin Xueruo hurried forward to help them up. The two of them stood up. Gu Xixian took her hand and helped her sit down. Then he spoke again: "I'm sorry to have made the teacher and the teacher's wife worry. It's my and my brother's fault. I hope the teacher and the teacher's wife won't be angry with me and my brother."

Yin Xueruo pulled her to sit beside her and said lovingly, "Silly child, how could we be mad at you? Didn't you send Gu Boxian back to tell him? My teacher and I are old and don't sleep much, so we just sit here and chat when we have nothing to do. Just wait for you."

They knew the truth, but since the master's wife said so, they didn't dwell on it too much. Instead, they talked to Tong Mingyan about going to the Gu family in the capital today. Finally, Gu Xixian leaned on Yin Xueruo's hand and said to Tong Mingyan coquettishly: "Godfather, you must help me find a steward who can take on the responsibility to take charge of the headquarters."

Ever since the Emperor said that she was Yin Xueruo's adopted daughter, Gu Xixian would occasionally call them adoptive father and adoptive mother, but more often he still called them teacher and mistress like his brother.

"Such a person is not easy to find. You have to search slowly. If you need him right away, you can let Lidong take over first." Tong Mingyan tapped the table with his fingers. Although the brother and sister did not say it explicitly, it seemed that what they were going to do would not be a small matter.

Tong Lidong is the second son of the housekeeper of the Tong Mansion. He is good in all aspects and is a capable person. However, he is young and not as calm as his father. However, in terms of communication, he is not worse than his father, and he is flexible and good at dealing with people. Gu Xixian is still very optimistic about this person. It can be said that she knows a little about the big and small people in the Tong Mansion. It is not her who goes to spy on them, but Tong Mingyan and his wife intentionally or unintentionally let them contact.

"Hehe, how about that, godfather, just give Uncle Lidong to me." The loyalty of Steward Tong and his son to the Tong family was beyond doubt, and they also knew that Tong Mingyan valued them and took good care of them. Even if Tong Lidong was nostalgic and told Tong Mingyan about the border town, she was not afraid. What she lacked now was the talent she could use.

Tong Mingyan laughed and scolded: "What a shameless girl."

Yin Xueruo rolled her eyes at him and said, "Why are you scolding me, Xian'er? He is just a human being. Here, Xian, take away anyone you think you can use from the mansion. Just treat your teacher's words as fart."

"Hey, ma'am, did you throw my face to the ground and let the little girl step on it for fun? Do you still want my dignity as a teacher?" Tong Mingyan pretended to be angry and glared at the little apprentice who was the instigator.

Gu Xixian smiled awkwardly and repeatedly bowed to Tong Mingyan, who was puffing his beard and glaring at him. He also ran to his side and patted his back and massaged his shoulders, with compliments popping out of his mouth like a machine gun: "Godfather, in Xian'er's heart, you are the most handsome man in the Daling Kingdom. Among all the civil and military officials in the court, no one can be as elegant and refined as you. To tell you the truth, even that person cannot compare to your unparalleled charm. You are the best teacher in Xian'er's heart..." The thousand-character praise was omitted.

Tong Mingyan stroked his beard and nodded, the master and apprentice sang in unison, Yin Xueruo beside him kept rolling her eyes, this old face really doesn't want to be used up. Gu Xihao blushed when he heard it, although the image of the teacher was also tall in his heart, it was not as exaggerated as his sister said.

After hearing the last part, Yin Xueruo couldn't bear it any longer. She stroked her arm and said, "You two can stop now. If you keep blowing, both you and your disciple will fly to the sky."

Tong Mingyan was now smiling brightly, and said cheerfully: "It will be yours after the beginning of winter, take it away."

"Thank you, godfather, you are the best!" Gu Xixian hurriedly thanked him, and got a butler. As for whether Lidong would agree, with her eloquent words, it was no problem at all, not to mention that in this era, the master's words would not allow him to be unwilling.

Just like that, Tong Lidong was packed up and sent to her farm in the suburbs of Beijing the next day to make a name for herself. Everything was ready, except Dongfang. As long as she prepared the funds, she could go straight to the border town to expand her territory.

After that, Gu Xixian was like a chicken with blood, every day she either hid in the study to draw, or went out to cooperate with Murongyu. Thinking about it, she was a student of liberal arts, and she originally wanted to live a poetic and artistic life, but now she is running around to make money and has to keep moving the bricks of science and technology.
