Chapter 2022: Hardened

While they were eating, Kuang had already followed Gu Jinli to the house, accompanied by Grandma Xie.

"How are you, Sister-in-law Xie? Is everything okay?" Gu Jinli took a stack of letters from Ji Zhenniang and read through them.

Grandma Xie smiled and said: "To answer Mrs. Qin, our wife has been very good recently. She has become a lot more sensible. She doesn't get angry immediately when anything happens, and her temper has changed a lot."

Gu Jinli said: "This should be because the toxins in her body have been almost completely eliminated."

Last year, she discovered that Ji Zhenniang was poisoned, which caused her to have a very bad temper. She would get angry even if others didn't provoke her.

Fortunately, it was discovered early and treated promptly, and now it is almost cured.

"Thanks to Mrs. Qin. If it weren't for you, our wife might have been driven crazy." Grandma Xie was very grateful to Gu Jinli for saving Ji Zhenniang. If something happened to Ji Zhenniang, she would be in pain for the rest of her life. She asked again: "Mrs. Qin, old lady I have always wanted to ask you something... will that kind of poison affect the heirs?"

Ever since the crisis in Xing'an Prefecture was over, Madam has been trying to have another child, but she has been trying for more than half a year and still hasn't gotten pregnant.

Gu Jinli said: "It won't affect the pregnancy. If you get pregnant, it won't affect the growth of the fetus. If you haven't gotten pregnant yet, it should be because you are traveling all the way and your life is unstable. After half a year, you will get used to the soil and water here. , I guess I can get pregnant."

Then he smiled and said, "I'm not pregnant either. What's your family worried about?"

After hearing this, Grandma Xie quickly apologized: "Mrs. Qin, please forgive me, but this old slave can't speak."

Her master, his wife, and little Miss Zhuzhu, but Master Qin and Mrs. Qin are not even pregnant with a child yet.

Gu Jinli waved his hand and smiled nonchalantly: "It's okay, I've only been married for a year, so there's no rush."

Isn't this urgent?

Master Qin is the only one in the Qin family. There are always wars in the northwest. If we don't give birth to a child quickly, if Master Qin has an emergency, the Qin family will be extinct.

Grandma Xie was worried for the couple and wanted to give a few reminders, but because of her status, she held it back.

Gu Jinli looked at the letter and smiled: "She even wrote a letter to complain about the six dogs barking at her twice. It seems that Sister-in-law Xie is doing well."

Ji Zhenniang was too useless, and the guardhouse was not completely safe. In order to prevent Ji Zhenniang from getting into trouble, she not only lent Erqing to Ji Zhenniang, but also divided the wolf pack into three, and asked six dogs to take two wolves to guard the big port. Guard the house for Ji Zhenniang.

Once someone with an unfamiliar smell approaches, the six dogs and the others will be able to detect it and alert Ji Zhenniang in time.

"Mrs. Qin, the Xie family and the Ji family want to thank you for protecting my wife like this." Grandma Xie was really grateful to Gu Jinli... When she first arrived at the port guard, she didn't dare to sleep at all and kept her eyes open the whole night. Listening to the sound, I was afraid that someone had bad intentions and would rush in to do evil while the adults were not around.

If that were the case, not only would the wife die, but the Xie family and the Ji family would also be disgraced!

Fortunately, Mrs. Qin lent Er Qing and brought six dogs with her, so she dared to sleep at night.

Gu Jinli smiled and said: "Mama Xie, you are too polite. We are from the south together. We have a life-long friendship, so naturally we have to help each other."

Then he said: "The Ji family is coming soon. I heard that they have brought a group of capable people. When they arrive, you can rest assured that we, Erqing, can also come back."

This time, Mr. Ji gave all the Ji family's wealth to Ji Zhenniang and sent a group of capable people who knew martial arts. These people were both men and women. They were all children of the Ji family and had been secretly raised in the Ji family's village. Very loyal to the Ji family.

Nanny Xie said: "To be fair to Mrs. Qin, the old slave was relieved and was just waiting for the Ji family to come."

Grandma Xie was dissatisfied with Mr. Ji in the past. She felt that Mr. Ji wanted to change the family by relying on adults but did not teach his granddaughter well. He also sent a group of unscrupulous slaves over and almost killed his wife.

But this time, she was really grateful to Mr. Ji... This old man was still very capable. He had quietly raised such a group of people without telling them, and he was willing to send them over.

The most annoying thing is that Mr. Ji said that the death deeds of those people will be given to the Xie family. As soon as they arrive at the guardhouse, the death deeds will be given to the adults immediately.

Gu Jinli looked at Grandma Ji and saw that her hair was much whiter. He smiled and said, "They should arrive in a few days. Grandma doesn't have to worry anymore. She can happily marry her daughter and start enjoying happiness."

The wedding of Xie Huaihua and Xiao Xie Guanshi is scheduled for the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, and the wedding will take place in a few days.

As soon as she talked about this, Grandma Xie was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear.

After Gu Jinli asked some more about Ji Zhenniang and Er Qing, he looked at Kuang: "Aunt Niu, the Ji family will be here soon. When they arrive, there will be a lot more people in the port guard... I plan to let You two family members of the health center will make brick embryos. After drying the brick embryos, let the Ji family transport them here to burn them. Although it is a bit troublesome, it will allow you two family members of the health center to have work and earn money. A wage.”

Kuang said: "I'm not afraid of the trouble, but is the old Lu family willing to teach us this craft?"

Before making brick embryos, the clay needs to be mixed with something and stirred. This involves the old Lu family's secret recipe.

Gu Jinli smiled and said: "Of course I am willing. In order to make green bricks, in addition to the recipe of mixing soil, you also need to know how to burn and swim. There was a mistake when burning and swimming, and the green bricks cannot be made."

So you don’t have to worry about the formula leaking. It’s just a bit troublesome to bring the brick embryos over and burn them.

"If we weren't afraid that the buyers would have bad intentions, we could just build brick kilns and bake bricks in your two bathrooms."

Mrs. Kuang shook her head when she heard this: "I don't understand business. There are too many customers, and I can't handle them. Ji Zhenniang can't handle it either. Let's bake and sell bricks in Changliangwei. Let's do some easy work and earn some money." Just save money and worry.”

Sanlang and his wife have a large group of capable people around them, so they can open up their stall and do business. She does not have this ability.

Seeing that she agreed, Gu Jinli said: "Okay, aunt will ask Sijin to learn how to prepare bricks and mortar from Uncle Lu's son tomorrow. With his intelligence, he can learn it in one day."

Then he looked at Nanny Xie and said: "The Xie family will ask Manager Xie to learn it. When we get back, we will ask Manager Xie to find a trustworthy servant and teach him the method of preparing bricks and mud."

"Yes, thank you Madam Qin. I will tell him now." Grandma Xie was very happy and did not delay. She quickly went to see Manager Xie and told him the good news.

Manager Xie was very happy after hearing this: "This is good. Our family members in the health center can have another job to make money. I will definitely learn from it tomorrow."

…

The next day, Manager Xie went to the brick kiln with Niu Sijin and found Lu Da, who taught them how to prepare brick mud and what they should pay attention to when drying the brick embryos.

After learning for a day, the two of them basically mastered it.

After staying another night, Kuang and the others left.

Lai Sanzhuang left a day earlier than them, and now he has returned to Dajiwei to tell Mrs. Lai the news of the deal.

Mrs. Lai was so happy that she almost shed tears when she looked at the deed and the money for selling the clay: "God opened his eyes and made this deal happen. With this deal, our family can finally be strong!"
