Gu Yan was extremely satisfied with the breakfast, and wiped her mouth and returned to her courtyard first.

One and a half hours later, Gu Zhehan came back, and Gu Yan hurried back to the main courtyard to inquire about Jiguanling's situation.

After washing up, Gu Zhehan hurried to the main courtyard. He had just said a few words to Gu An, who was at home, and Gu Yan arrived.

Gu Zhehan shook his head and smiled.

"Just that anxious? You arrived before my brother could send someone to call you. It's really urgent!"

Gu Yan raised her eyes slightly and looked at Gu Zhehan.

"explain."

Gu Zhehan was not annoyed, raised his hand and knocked Gu Yan's head, then smiled and said, "Okay, let's say, I don't have a good attitude to do things yet. I really owe you in my previous life."

Gu Yan didn't say anything, just stared at Gu Zhehan, and Gu Zhehan shook his head and laughed.

"It's true that my sister always has a tense face. It's so unlovely. I really should let my father and mother have another sister, and I'm also addicted to being an older brother."

Gu Yan couldn't help but give Gu Zhehan a blank look. He really didn't like to talk back and was waiting to watch the show.

Sure enough, Gu Zhehan was slapped in the head as soon as he finished speaking.

"What nonsense are you talking about in front of your sister? You can say this too? Do you want your mother and I to have children... Oh, it's all confused you. Okay, it's all right, your sister has been waiting for several days."

Gu An patted his head, and no matter how angry Gu Zhehan was, he had to endure it. After he finished speaking, he took it to the front yard before cleaning it.

Gu Zhehan also felt that this was not very good in front of his sister, but he was not right. He was just a son, so how could he care about the affairs of his parents’ house!

Tang didn't say anything. She and Gu An always followed the principle of male lead and female lead inside. Gu Zhehan was raised by Gu An, and she would not interfere unless he had to. His son was indeed wrong today. Gu Yan was still young, and he didn't care about his parents' affairs. This is the rule. She had to grasp the standards so that she would not educate her children wrongly.

Gu Zhehan touched his nose, quickly got up and admitted his mistake, and then began to talk about Jiguanling again.

"I have traveled all over Jiguan Ridge, and there are many small animals such as pheasants, rabbits, etc. inside. Maybe it's not too far from the official road. The wild beasts really didn't see it. However, I heard the roar of wolves in the forest inside. I didn't go in there, so I made a lot of traps between Jiguan Ridge and the forest inside. With one step at a time, they couldn't get through, and there was no danger for the time being.

There is a small river in the mountains on the other side of Jiguan Ridge, with a gentle, clean and clear water flow and drinkable. The most amazing thing is that there is a large cave in the middle of Jiguan Ridge, which is enough to accommodate two or three hundred people. There is also a waterfall on the mountain. I don’t know where it flows from. The water flows fast and the sound of water falling from the waterfall is very loud. You can hear it from a mile away. I stood on the official road and listened. I could hear it vaguely, but it was not very clear. There are all mountains and forests, which are not suitable for planting, and I am afraid that food will be transported from outside. However, I am afraid that it will cause doubt. My father will plan it."

Gu An nodded, "This is easy. Your uncle said he would come here in some days. There is a rice shop in the Tang family and a family in the border town. It is normal to transport grain. I will send your uncle to send more grains. When the rice and grain delivered to the border town arrive at Daqing Mountain, it will be unloaded half of it and transported into the mountain. The rest will be sent here. Madam, let's talk to those ladies tomorrow and ask who does the rice shop business. We buy it with her at the cost price. One of them can be divided equally. No one, including the Tang family, will not take advantage of anyone. No one will suffer any losses. All the rice bought will be shipped to Shantang, so we will not keep it."

Tang nodded and agreed, "Okay, this is easy to deal with. If they are afraid of losing money, I will pay it myself. What's the point? It's okay to buy more rice and grain. There are many wars in the border town for many years, so it's right to save more. As for the money, it's all the money in Shantang, and the money in it is definitely not just our family. What can I bear to bear?"

Gu An nodded, reminded Tang again, and then took Gu Zhehan to the front yard.

Although Xiu Mu is at home, there are still a lot of things to do. When he first arrived, he had to establish a good relationship with the generals who had taken root here and get along with them. Only then can the road be easier. After tomorrow, people who have had to get along with each other should move around. Each family has to give gifts, but it has to be carefully considered what to give. If the gift is heavy, it may make people feel that they are the losers. If the gift is thin, it will make people look down on others and give people the feeling that they look down on others. If they want to ask someone for help, it will be difficult to speak.

Gu An taught Gu Zhehan about gifts and socializing in the front yard, and Tang also taught Gu Yan the skills of gifts in the back yard.

"This gift is not ordinary. You are still young now and don't have to learn so early. I will teach you in a few years. As long as you know that the front yard and the back yard are different, men and women are different, superiors and subordinates are different, and relatives are different. For example, when we give gifts this time, we can send gifts back and forth from the gifts they bring tomorrow. It depends on what they give. It is enough to have almost the same value when returning the gifts. It doesn't have to be too thick or thin, so as not to be looked down upon.

This place is located in the northwest, far from the sea, and we came from Changzhou again. When we return the gift, we can get the gifts from Changzhou's specialties, which are fresh and polite. Also, when the banquet is held tomorrow, the ladies and ladies of each prefecture will come with the ladies of each prefecture. Those who are all mothers have to give gifts to each prefecture. The saying here is also great.

For example, if the legitimate sons and daughters of the same level as your father, the legitimate son will give jade pendants and four treasures of the study, and the legitimate daughter will give jade bracelets or gold hairpins. The illegitimate sons and daughters will have a little worse. A set of four treasures of the study and a golden hairpin are enough. The higher-level ones are more expensive, and the lower-level ones will be reduced. There are also a lot of knowledge here, and you will learn it in the future."

Gu Yan looked at Tang with a confused look on her face, and her eyes were rounded.

Damn it! This is too messy! She is not uncommon to see her deliver gifts every year when she is around Tang. She knows a little, but she didn't expect there to be so many words here. Also, how much things her mother has to give out during this banquet!

A set of four treasures in the study are good and bad. A few worse ones can be bought at 5 or 6 taels, and a few better ones can’t be bought at 100 taels. Can her mother give her 4 or 5 taels? No! That won’t make people laugh to death? No, she has to give her 30 or 40 taels. A jade pendant can also cost fifty or 60 taels, and a jade bracelet of the legitimate daughter. The ones who are not even able to play with her are seven or 80 taels. Her mother has to give her at least 100 taels to take advantage of her.

A family of legitimate daughters and legitimate sons have to be given away more than 200 taels. If the family has a large population and the wife can give birth, how much will it have to be given away? What about the concubines? Apart from their family, which family has no two concubines, how much will it have to be given away? How many officials are there in the border town? Not a dozen or twenty can’t come down?
