Chapter 1278
1278 I don’t even want second brother’s family
Cai Xiaolian knew grandma Gu well and knew that she was up to this idea.
Grandpa Gu smiled. that’s good. Let the two families train themselves. Otherwise, when we’re both a hundred years old, second brother will have to take care of the children and his brothers. He’ll be tired!
Grandma Gu pursed her lips and smiled without saying anything.
Brother Chuan, you might not know this, but if I could, I wouldn’t want second brother’s family either!
……
At the same time that the new houses were sold out, the dock in kun city was also built. Gu shouxin decided to test the ship on March 3rd.
There were merchants from Jiangnan who specialized in building ships. They had finished building them long ago and were leaning against the pier, just waiting for this day.
If the waterway was connected, how many spices from the divine Sand Kingdom and how many jade stones from the Jinnan Kingdom could each ship carry back?
Of course, the merchants in Jiangnan were very good. This fleet was also cooperating with the Gu and Peng families.
On the 3rd of March, the sky was clear and the people of kun city had all gone to the dock to see the test flight.
In the past, because of the existence of the southern border, there were no ships from kun city to the other state capitals of the great Zhou.
Now that the southern border was gone, the great Zhou Dynasty had an additional Lin Prefecture. Kun city could take the water route through Lin Prefecture, ding Prefecture, Qing Prefecture, Yuzhou, Liang Prefecture, Yi Prefecture, and then reach the Jiangnan.
The people cheered as they looked at the shirtless workers carrying boxes of goods onto the ship. They thought that there would be ships carrying boxes of goods to kunzhou in the future.
The kun Prefecture was no longer the poorest place in the great Zhou.
The horn was blown, and the sails were raised.
The merchants from Jiangnan set off.
Gu Xin and her sisters were dressed in men’s clothing as they watched the commotion from the crowd. Even after the ship disappeared from sight, there were still many people on the dock.
“Lord Gu is a good official who serves the country and the people!” Some of the old men cried.
Someone echoed,”that’s right!” Lord Gu has provided us people of kunzhou with a lot of work. Now we don’t have to leave our hometown to make a living. As long as we work hard, we can support our families with our own hands!”
“……”
Gu Xin loved to hear people praise her father. She was happy to hear it for a long time before she decided to leave.
When she turned around, she saw two people she didn’t like, Yi Ling and Yin Yingli.
If Peng Erlang wasn’t beside her, she would definitely ignore him.
She walked over and greeted Peng Erlang before Gu Xin and her sisters left.
Yi Ling’s eyes were burning with rage as she watched them leave. Yin Feili pulled her back and she turned around to see Peng Erlang looking at her with a strange expression.
“Miss Yi, do you have any misunderstandings with them?” Peng Erlang asked directly.
Yi Ling nodded and said,”that’s right!” When I was in Yunzhou, no one dared to not take me seriously. When I arrived in kunzhou, her sisters seemed to dislike me. Since they don’t like me, why should I lick my face to please them?”
Peng Erlang laughed,”miss Yi, I can be considered to be familiar with the ladies of the Gu family.” As far as I know, they wouldn’t dislike someone for no reason. Since they don’t like each other, the other party must have done something to make them dislike him!”
“Peng Erlang, what do you mean?” Yi Ling’s expression changed.
Peng Erlang shrugged and said,”it’s nothing!” He was just telling the truth. By the way, miss Yi, you asked Fei Li in private about the training time of the soldiers, you could have asked me directly.”
Yi Ling was stunned.
“Grandfather and Grandpa Yi have been friends for many years, and our families have a good relationship,” Peng Erlang continued. In fact, a good relationship didn’t necessarily mean marriage, not to mention that it was forced. You can’t force a melon to taste sweet.”
