Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

Gu Yan took the envelope and asked in confusion, "Brother, when was this letter delivered?"

Gu Lin took a big sip of water before answering, "As soon as I received the letter this morning and arranged things in the shop, I rushed here without stopping."

In order to speed up the process, he hired a carriage.

As soon as Gu Yan saw the words on the envelope, he knew that they were from his mentor.

He couldn't wait to unfold the letter and read it carefully.

Gu Yan said as he read the letter, "My mentor just arrived in Jiangzhou yesterday."

Gu Lin immediately asked: "When do you plan to visit?"

You know, the purpose of this trip to Jiangzhou was to visit Gu Yan's mentor. But before they set off, they received a letter saying that they would be late due to something, so they waited in Jiangzhou for so long.

Gu Yan frowned slightly: "It's too late today."

He had originally planned to go back to the city alone tomorrow to investigate the situation.

Now that his mentor has returned, he should stay in the city for some time.

Then we can't leave Qingqing here alone, and we will probably have to go back to Sheng Tangli next, after all, the New Year is coming soon.

Gu Qingzhi understood: "Brother, do you mean that we won't come to the manor after we return to Jiangzhou?"

Gu Yan nodded: "Yes, that's right. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Today is already December 13th. I estimate that I may have to stay with my mentor for a few days. So the time is very tight."

Gu Qingzhi nodded thoughtfully.

Yes, I must rush home before the New Year.

"Then we need to arrange things properly here..."

Gu Qingzhi looked at Gu Lin and couldn't help but say, "But brother, is it okay for you to leave the pastry shop like this?"

Gu Lin immediately replied: "It's okay! The cake shop is doing pretty well right now, not to mention that Cousin Ji is watching over it!

Besides, Shopkeeper Lin is very serious and responsible, and he can definitely take charge of the entire shop!"

After hearing this, Gu Qingzhi nodded secretly, thinking that she indeed had a unique vision.

But to be honest, she and her brother had been away from Jiangzhou for so long and had never thought of going back to check on the pastry shop business. They were truly just hands-off bosses.

After listening to Gu Yan's arrangement, Gu Lin said excitedly: "Ah Yan, if there is anything you need me to do, just tell me!"

Gu Yan curled up the corners of his lips and smiled: "Okay, I won't be polite to you, brother.

There are too many things to do in Zhuangzi, and I am worried that there is no one to share the burden with me! "

Gu Yan looked at Gu Qingzhi again: "Qingqing, whatever matters you need to arrange should also be arranged today. We will set out back to the city tomorrow morning."

Gu Qingzhi nodded: "Qingqing knows, brother, don't worry."

After Gu Yan finished explaining the matter, he took Gu Lin out.

"Brother, let's talk while we walk.

I have too much on my hands, so I'd like to trouble you to help me take someone to check the construction on the wall!

I will take some people to the mountain to bring water down."

"Okay, leave it to me." Gu Lin agreed readily.

When they arrived at the gate, Xu Da and his son were already waiting.

"Uncle Xu, please take my brother to the other side of the wall to take a look." Gu Yan instructed Xu Da.

Xu Da quickly replied respectfully: "I got it."

Xu Da took Gu Lin away.

Gu Yanze and Xu Chao walked towards the foot of the mountain together.

Xu Chao followed Gu Yan and reported, "My Lord, Zhao Heng has already checked and found a larger and more hidden water source near the original water source. Should we go check it out now?"

Gu Yan didn't think twice and acted faster than expected, "Then let's go and take a look now. By the way, how are the bamboo tubes being treated?"

Xu Chao replied, "My dear, I have arranged for someone to clean up the mess."

Gu Yan nodded, very satisfied with Xu Chao's efficiency. "Have someone clean it up as soon as possible, and start laying pipes as soon as the water source is confirmed."

Xu Chao quickly whispered a few words to the person behind him, and a tall and thin man immediately jumped out.

Along the way, Gu Yan asked about Zhao Heng's situation. Zhao Heng was also recommended by Xu Da.

Gu Yan felt that Xu Da would not recommend someone casually, and this person must have something outstanding.

Seeing Gu Yan's interest, Xu Chao explained Zhao Heng's situation in detail.

"Zhao Heng's family came to the village five years ago. There are six people in his family, including his grandfather, parents, a younger brother and a younger sister.

However, according to my observation, Zhao Heng's grandfather and parents seemed to be in poor health and had been bedridden for many years.

He and his brothers and sisters are the only ones in the family who earn money to support their family.”

Gu Yan couldn't help but feel curious: Families like this are different from the families who have been slaves here for generations, so why did they come here?

In addition, although this family is sick, Zhao Heng is the head of the family, which makes Gu Yan even more confused.

Later, he learned from Xu Chao that the manager had bought them from the pawnshop.

When Zhao Heng and his sister sold themselves into slavery, they put forward a condition that the family must stay together.

When the steward saw that Zhao Heng and his brother were in good health and the price was cheap, he bought them without hesitation.

When they first arrived, Zhao's parents' health was not so bad, and they could even work in the fields.

However, in the past two years, their physical condition has deteriorated and they are rarely seen going out recently.

Xu Chao then told Gu Yan another thing. Since the arrival of Zhao Heng's family, the servants began to use the spring water from the mountain.

Before this, they had to fetch water from the river.

Seeing Gu Yan showing great interest in this matter, Xu Chao couldn't help but express his guess: "My dear, although Zhao Heng didn't say anything, I always feel that his family background should be good."

Gu Yan raised his eyebrows: "Oh? What do you mean?"

Xu Chao smiled and said, "He is very capable! You see, he is looking for water sources in the mountains, and he always finds them accurately. This is not something that ordinary people can do."

As they were talking, the two saw a group of people not far away.

Zhao Heng hurried over to greet him: "Hello, sir."

Then he nodded to Xu Chao who was behind Gu Yan.

Gu Yan nodded, then asked, "Have you found a water source?"

Zhao Heng smiled and nodded: "Found it, not far ahead, but..."

Gu Yan frowned: "But what?"

Zhao Heng hesitated for a moment: "The water source here is larger than the one we used before, and there are several water sources converging here.

My dear, I think we can build a pond here to store water.

On the other hand, it can also be used for emergency situations.”

Gu Yan thought about it and felt that it was feasible, so he said to Xu Chao: "A Chao, you arrange for people to start work immediately and dig a pond here."

After Xu Chao agreed, Gu Yan asked Zhao Heng again: "Can you arrange the layout of the water pipes?"

Zhao Heng was stunned when he heard this. He never expected that his husband would assign such an important task to him.

Then she was excited and quickly replied, "My dear, do you really want me to arrange it?"
