Chapter 202: Debunk (two more in one) (1/2)

Chapter 202 Debunking (two more in one)

The imperial decree was issued half a month ago. The old blacksmith and carpenter are already on their way, and they should be able to reach the capital soon.

Gu Jinyu did not know that the old blacksmiths and carpenters were coming to the capital. After she was canonized as the princess, she went to Kunning Palace to meet Empress Xiao, received the gold seal and the treasure book, and then went to the concubine Shu's Changchun Palace to sit down. For a while.

All the empresses from the palaces sent gifts, even the concubine Zhuang and the prince.

These two are the most powerful women in the harem except for the Empress Dowager Zhuang and the empress. Their attitudes to a large extent represent the wind direction of the harem.

It is rare that the wind direction is the same this time.

”Auntie didn't misunderstand the person.” Concubine Shu and You Rongyan took Gu Jinyu's hand with her eyes full of praise.

In this case, not only the emperor, but also Gu Jinyu.

Whether it is Yao's migraine for Gu Jiao or Gu Jinyu's neglect in women's school, at this moment, all the haze seems to be swept away.

Gu Jinyu returned to the Hou Mansion with great pride.

Indispensable, it was praised by Master Gu and Mrs. Gu.

Since the incident of beating Aunt Ling, Mrs. Gu has been on the verge of depression all day long. After hearing that Gu Jinyu is so promising, she has given the Hou Mansion a big face, and she regained her radiance.

She held Gu Jinyu’s hand affectionately: ”Your grandfather is not in the house when he is out, and if he is there, he will definitely praise you.”

Grandfather...

The word that was so tall in Gu Jinyu's mind, she didn't even dare to shout.

Will grandfather really be proud of her?

In my impression, my grandfather is an unreachable existence, and everyone in the family is very afraid of him.

He never seemed to be satisfied with a child. Even though the eldest brother worked so hard, the eyes of the grandfather looking at the eldest brother were still critical.

If she can be praised by her grandfather, Gu Jinyu thinks she can show off for a lifetime.

Gu Jinyu came out of Mrs. Gu’s yard and planned to go to Yao’s yard, telling Yao that she had done a great job and was canonized as the princess. She wanted her mother to know that she was the smartest daughter in the family and deserved Yao’s respect and love. .

Walking halfway, she unexpectedly ran into Gu Changqing.

She curled her eyebrows, stepped forward and saluted Gu Changqing: ”Big brother.”

Gu Changqing nodded lightly.

Gu Jinyu looked at the baggage in his hand, smiled and asked, ”Is the eldest brother coming back from outside? What did he take?”

”A little prey.” Gu Changqing said.

Today’s hunting in the barracks, he hunted two small birds and planned to send it to Bishui Hutong for Gu Yan and Xiao Jingkong to play.

Gu Jinyu heard his indifference. If in the past she should have left wittily, but today she is very confident. She smiled and said, ”I have never hunted before when I grow up so big. Convenient to bring me?”

”Women can't enter the barracks casually.” Gu Changqing declined.

”Ah.” Gu Jinyu was slightly disappointed, but not too disappointed. She took out a jade pendant from her purse, raised her small face, smiled softly, ”Give it to Big Brother.”

”What is this?” Gu Changqing asked.

Gu Jinyu smiled and said: ”It's a warm jade rewarded by your majesty.”

Sending Yupei is the next step, reminding the eldest brother that she becomes the princess owner.

Gu Changqing saw Yupei, and finally remembered the news he had heard in the barracks. Gu Jinyu made great contributions and was named the second-level princess Hui.

”Congratulations.” Gu Changqing said calmly and confiscated the jade pendant. ”Since it is your majesty's reward, you should collect it yourself and don't lose it.”

”Um... well.” Gu Jinyu really hopes that Gu Changqing can accept this jade pendant.

Gu Changqing returned to the yard.

Gu Changqing’s heart didn’t have much trouble. He didn’t expect to rely on Gu Jinyu to carry forward the Hou Mansion. Therefore, Gu Jinyu’s improper princess and failure to do meritorious service have little to do with him.

Gu Jinyu finished the show on the side of the eldest brother, and can’t wait to let others know, but the Yao family is not in the house.

Yao went to Bishui Hutong.

She made Gu Jiao's clothes, and brought them to Gu Jiao to try on. The result was good, and the sleeves and trouser legs were short again.

Is this child just starting to grow up now?

Yao cried and laughed, and put down the sleeves and trouser legs.

After changing the clothes, she took out all the clothes of the family to see if there was anything that needed to be sewn.

The clothes of the other people in the family were made by Xiuniang. New clothes are available every month. The clothes of the old lady and Xiao Liulang are durable. Mainly these two people are relatively unmovable, and the rest are a bit horrible.

In the past, Gu Jiao made up for it.

Yao looked at it today and almost laughed.

She thought that her daughter would go to heaven and earth and be omnipotent. It turned out that she was also a naive person.

As soon as Gu Jiao finished watering the vegetable garden, when she came to the backyard, she was shaking with a smile when she was holding a pile of clothes.

”What's wrong?” She asked puzzledly.

”Ouch~” Yao's tears burst out, and he stopped laughing for a long time, and asked Gu Jiao, ”Jiaojiao, who did you learn your echidna from?”

Gu Jiao thought for a while: ”I can learn without a teacher?”

Yao knew it.

Otherwise, who would sew like this?

Yao was about to be teased to death by her daughter. He patted the stool on the side and motioned to Gu Jiao to sit down. Then he took the place where Gu Jiao had stitched and said, ”You don't need to tie a knot with a needle, and don't leave the thread outside. like this……”

Yao dismantled it and sew it again to show Gu Jiao.

”Hmm.” Gu Jiao thought about it seriously, ”I thought I sew very well.”

After all, sewing clothes really improved her surgical stitching skills, and she stitched faster than before.

The mother and daughter were talking, and Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun came back from the academy. Today, there is no need to go to Master Lu to study art.

Not knowing that Gu Jiao and Yao were both at home, they were playing around, and each entered the yard with a chicken feather.

Gu Xiaoshun had a small gang in the countryside. At that time, he was the number one bully in Shili Baxiang. The feathers on his head were a symbol of their feather gang.

was sent to Tianxiang Academy by Gu Jiao afterwards. It looked like it had been changed, but secretly, it was still a sky monkey.

Today, Gu Jiao finally caught him.

”Uh, sister.” Gu Xiaoshun took off the feathers from the top of his head, his eyes moved, and he also took off the feathers from Gu Yan's head.

The two stood there motionless, waiting for Gu Jiao's hair.

”Jiaojiao!”

Aunt Zhang in the alley came, ”The courtyard wall behind my stove is about to collapse!”

”I'll show you.” Gu Jiao glanced at the two sky monkeys at home, put down the bucket for watering the flowers, and went to her house with Aunt Zhang.

Neighbourhood neighbors first discovered that Gu Jiao was capable of leaking the roof of the old Jijiu next door. Gu Jiao climbed up and renovated the roof. After that, the neighbours knew that Mrs. Zhuang’s grand-nephew and daughter-in-law were capable.

The wall of Aunt Zhang’s house is cracked and needs to be repaired with mud.

In ancient times, there was no cement, but lime mortar and rammed earth.

The stability of lime mortar is not enough, and it is easy to get damp in rainy days. Rammed earth is a better choice.

The raw materials for rammed earth are red mud, coarse sand and lime blocks. Lime blocks and coarse sand are also available at my grandpa’s house. The red mud has been used up by the small headroom. He has recently been obsessed with building a house with his friends. I really didn’t know it for a while Where to get it.

Aunt Zhang was anxious: ”Is it impossible to fix it today or today? I think it will collapse if it can’t last tomorrow!”

The courtyard wall is connected to the stove house. Once it collapses, the people cooking in the stove house are in danger.

Gu Jiao thought for a while, and said to her: ”Wait a moment.”

Gu Jiao returned to her house, went to the stove to find glutinous rice, boiled a pot of glutinous rice soup, and then poured the thick glutinous rice ball into the well-stirred lime mortar.

”Sister, what are you doing?” Gu Xiaoshun asked curiously.

Gu Yan also squatted over and looked at her baba'er: ”Why pour the rice soup in?”

Gu Jiao handed a stick to the two of them, and signaled the two of them to keep stirring: ”This is glutinous rice mortar, which is better than rammed earth. It is more suitable to paste walls.”

The process of ramming the soil is actually very laborious. After the three raw materials are mixed together, they must be beaten again and again with tools. The more beaten times, the stronger the rammed soil.

The glutinous rice mortar is not so complicated, but the firmness is much higher. This is because the cooked glutinous rice soup contains amylopectin, which is a perfect natural adhesive. To be exaggerated, the strength of the lime mortar bonded by it is almost Comparable to the concrete of the previous life.

”You be careful, don't get it on your body.” Gu Jiao said.

”Oh!” The two nodded together.

When Gu Jinyu came to Bishuihu, what she saw was the scene where the three brothers and sisters were mixing mortar together.

Gu Jinyu's eyebrows are a frown.

Gu Yan always remembered her as a sick child who had to pant when walking. She didn't expect that he would actually do things and still do this kind of rough work.

Yao sits aside, sews the clothes leisurely, and doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with Gu Yan's work.

Gu Jinyu settled down and walked into the yard and said, ”Mother, sister, brother, what are you doing?”

Gu Yan glanced at her and ignored her.

Gu Yan hates her.

I hate it when I don’t know my life experience, and I hate it even more when I know it.

Gu Jiao ignored her and continued to make her own glutinous rice mortar.

She didn't talk to Gu Xiaoshun, and of course Gu Xiaoshun would ignore her.

Yao looked back at her: ”It’s Jinyu, why are you here?”

Gu Jinyu said softly: ”I didn't see my mother in the mansion. I guess my mother must have been here. I brought something for my sister and brother.”

Gu Yan rolled his eyes: ”Who is rare?”

The mortar was ready soon, and Gu Jiao found a bucket and filled it with a big bucket.

”I'm coming!” Gu Xiaoshun took the bucket to Aunt Zhang's house.

Gu Yan also wanted to mention it, but unfortunately he couldn't move it, so he took a small shovel.

The three brothers and sisters went to make up the wall for Aunt Zhang’s house.

Yao sighed.

Gu Jinyu looked at the dirty mortar on the ground and a pot of unused glutinous rice soup, frowned in disgust, and turned to look at Yao: ”Mother, how can my sister let my brother do rough work? My brother has such weak bones. .”

”You have to work more only if you are weak. Didn't you see that your brother is more energetic than before?” It's not that Gu Yan is still taking medicine every day, and Yao is afraid that his son is already a normal person.

Gu Jinyu curled her lips: ”But the royal doctors say that the younger brother shouldn't work too hard, he should be more restful.”

Yao said: ”Your sister is a doctor, she knows how to do the best right Yan'er!”

Gu Jinyu opened her mouth, just a medicine boy, where is the doctor?

Gu Jinyu's gaze fell on the glutinous rice soup and mortar. It was a mess. The glutinous rice soup was for food, but Gu Jiao used it to make mud.

I grew up in the country, and I don’t have any common sense.

Gu Jinyu couldn’t come, but she forbeared and said, ”Mother.”

”What's wrong?” Yao asked.

Gu Jinyu smiled, took out a gold seal and a treasure book from his wide sleeves and handed them to Yao.

Yao's stunned: ”This is...”

”Open it up and take a look.” Gu Jinyu said proudly.

Yao opened the golden seal box and turned it over to see that it was actually the seal of the princess.

Gu Jinyu is waiting for Yao's appreciation.

The Yao family heard about the bellows. The Yao family did not understand the imperial canonization rules, but it is an honor to be the princess.

Yao nodded with relief: ”Mother's Jinyu is really amazing.”

Gu Jinyu is very happy to get Yao's affirmation.

After a while, the three siblings came back, and the three of them smashed the wall and were covered with dust, and their hair was covered with dust.

Aunt Zhang walked in with a jar of pickles, and said to Yao, ”Ayao, your kid is really capable! You can make it right for me in one go!”

The joy and pride in Yao's eyes almost overflowed, and he was more happy than seeing Gu Jinyu's princess Jinyin: ”Yes, they are all very capable.”
