Chapter 295
The sky is getting colder, autumn is here, and it is another harvest season.
This year, the harvest is more than in previous years. After several years of maintenance, the wasteland finally has some output, which is much more than the output in previous years.
Li Yu took Gu's family busy up and down, the old and young, women and children all went into battle, and had to tidy up all the output.
The fruit is made into candied fruit and stored, part of it is used to make wine, and the vegetables are dried in the sun to be eaten in winter.
Cows and sheep have to be slaughtered in batches, pigs can also be slaughtered in batches, and a lot of chickens have to be slaughtered regularly.
"Don't say it, our clan's wife is really capable, and she can't compare everyone else. There are so many eggs, and the whole clan, old and young, can't eat them every month. There are still leftovers. And the pigs, cattle and sheep ,Oh My God…"
Auntie’s waist is sore and her back hurts. She doesn’t feel tired but just feels happy, and her days are busy.
"Our Gu family is blessed to have such a good wife, the Gu family is about to stand up."
"That's right, sisters, Ma Liu is working. Yu'er said that part of the leftovers will be given to the refugees. They will work ahead, and the food must be prepared."
"Succeed, who will cook in front, there must be oil and water, and you can't fool around."
If you have a quick aunt, you will worry about it.
Now it’s completely different from the passive sabotage and discouragement in the past. Everyone is worried about the family, caring for the girls, willing to do it, willing to do it, and taking the initiative to do it. Everyone is busy for the clan.
The entire Gu family has a different style, thriving and united.
"The mother-in-law arranged by Manager Sun, our son and the girl are watching from the front, hurry up, let's take a look after we finish, I don't worry about the children."
"become."
"Northwest sent cattle and sheep over, did they still keep them on the farm?"
"Yu'er explained that she will also raise the farm here. The place is huge. This year, some high-quality alfalfa will be replanted. A batch of cattle and sheep will be slaughtered and sent to the military camp. The cotton shoes, charcoal and food will also be sent to the northwest by boat."
"Understood."
Not only to take care of several military camps, but also to send some meat and medicinal materials regularly, but also to communicate with each other.
I also want to send some things to the Northwest. Winter is coming soon, and cotton-padded clothes, shoes and charcoal are indispensable.
They had no money to pay, so they exchanged it with cattle and sheep. The Gu and Li families had shops and farms in the northwest, but they haven’t returned a single copper coin so far. All the money was given to the Northwest generals to feed the Northwest Army.
Northwest General was really embarrassed, so he sent Northwest leather goods and cattle and sheep over to exchange, which is also to express his heart.
In today’s troubled times, the emperor started to make alchemy, and the angry Northwest general scolded his mother, and the soldiers couldn’t pay their military salaries. This **** emperor started to make alchemy to seek longevity.
Ye Wang also prepared a batch of grain and secretly sent it to the northwest by boat in the name of the Gu and Li families. There was really no other way.
Li Yu used the farm to raise pigs and chickens, and he raised them quite well, especially the chickens. There was no shortage of eggs. In addition to eating at home, they could also be used as a gift.
The smooth running of Li Yu's workshop in Gu's family also has a lot to do with her coming. Several general families that Ye Wang relied on most trusted and helped his two families, and did not let villains bully them.
Li Yu knows how to do things. He sends things to the military camp in several carts.
Opening up contacts for Boss Li and Gu's family, and accumulating friendship, played a big role. The men can wholeheartedly make a bright future ahead.
Today Li Yu is going to the academy to teach everyone lessons, teaching female students literacy and etiquette, and teaching boys martial arts.
It was strongly recommended by the head of the mountain and Princess Ye. For this reason, the Gu family was given three places each year, and the Li family was given three places every year. Only then did Boss Li nod and agree that his daughter should be his wife.
Today I will give etiquette lessons to the female students.
"Hi everyone, I'm Gu Li, my husband's family name is Gu, and I'll give you etiquette lessons today. When I was five years old, I invited a nanny in the palace to teach etiquette. When I was fourteen, my nanny passed away due to illness. Stop and talk to everyone."
"Etiquette is still very important. Good etiquette will not make people look down on you and pick your upbringing. We can't restrain others. We can only try our best to make ourselves excellent so that others can't find my fault. Yours Etiquette is not as good as mine, so why do you pick on me, right?"
Li Yu and Yan Yuese chatted with everyone.
"Master, we can all do common etiquette, where do we see the difference?"
"Do you know why the princesses in the palace are dignified and elegant? One is practiced since childhood, and the other is blended into the flesh and blood. The standard of etiquette is elegant and beautiful. This is the difference."
"Come on, let me show you."
Li Yu personally demonstrated several common greeting etiquettes for everyone.
For example, Fuli is half squatting, gestures on the left side, what position should be squatted in half squatting, the head should be slightly lowered, the back should be straight and not bent over, it is too ugly.
You still have to keep your legs steady and keep your neck slightly low, but don’t stretch your neck out, that’s not what a decent person should do.
"Also, girls' hair must be combed neatly and neatly. It is especially important not to leave a strand of hair on the sideburns."
"why?"
There are also poor girls who come to study here to do good deeds.
"Do you know what kind of person combs his hair like that?"
The other girls laughed strangely.
This academy also has some daughters of powerful families who come to study, both from upper and lower classes.
"I have no idea."
The civilian girl shook her head blankly, she really didn't understand.
"It's a brothel, and there are concubines in the backyard. They comb their hair like this to seduce men. It's taboo for good girls to do this. What the master says is right, it's for the good of us all."
The leading girl is a girl from the Xie family, and also Xie Jin’s younger sister.
"Ah, so that's the case, I really don't know, I just think it looks good."
"Fool, girl, the most important thing is to be dignified and dignified. Etiquette is all about manners. You walk like a snake, won't your mother beat you?"
"Slap, you can't walk like that, you will get slapped in the mouth."
The girl knew it and nodded immediately.
"Yes, it's the same reason."
"Master is the eldest daughter of the Li family. She has been taught etiquette by the nuns around the empress dowager since she was a child. It is our blessing to be able to teach us. Now I invite a good nun to teach us, at least twenty taels of silver a month. They may not come. , It depends on whether your family is rich enough."
"Yes, we have to study hard, the opportunity is rare."
Everyone nodded.
Ms. Xie's family carried Li Yu's sedan chair, which convinced many children who didn't know Li Yu.
"Some girls learn later, and they need more time to practice if they want to develop a good look, and they may have to suffer a lot."
Li Yu gave everyone a basic plan in advance.
Start to teach everyone etiquette and correct postures one by one.
"Squatting down and not getting up, the time is half a stick of incense.
While correcting everyone, Li Yu followed suit.
Let everyone compare, how long the students squat, how long she squats, so that the children will respect and admire her more.
