Chapter 181: Madam Yang Cries
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
For some reason, Madam Yang could not help but cry when she saw Gu Yunshu had a teacher.
She looked at Gu Yundong blankly. After thinking for a while, she said, “Your father will be happy.”
Gu Yundong was stunned. She slowly sat down beside Madam Yang and wiped her tears with a handkerchief. She said softly, “Yes, if Father sees that Yunshu can study and has such a powerful teacher, he will definitely be very happy.”
Madam Yang nodded heavily. “Let’s find your father.”
“Okay.” Gu Yundong did not forget to look for Gu Dajiang, but she had to have money first. She had to settle down at home so that she could have no worries.
In ancient times, where there were no communication tools, it took a lot of manpower and time to find someone.
Seeing this, Qin Wenzheng couldn’t help but ask, “Where did you and your father get separated? If you need help, just tell me.”
Gu Yundong’s eyes lit up. Yes, Mr. Qin had a lot of connections.
She told him the location of Gu Dajiang’s disappearance. Finally, she told him, “We agreed with Father that if anyone got separated, we would meet in Qing’an Prefecture. However, when we arrived at Qing’an Prefecture, the city was in chaos. We had no choice but to come to Xuanhe Prefecture. Master Qin, can you help us ask around in Qing’an Prefecture?”
Qin Wenzheng thought for a moment before saying, “After the chaos in Qing’an Prefecture, the officials have all changed. The entire prefectural city is undergoing a major renovation. I’m afraid it won’t be easy to find your father. However, I’ll help. Miss Gu, don’t worry. Your father will definitely be safe.”
Gu Yundong thanked her with a smile. Madam Yang finally calmed down.
Then, she ate happily, as if her previous crying did not exist.
Gu Yundong shook her head and laughed.
After dinner, Qin Wenzheng couldn’t wait to try refining the white sugar. It was just a little clumsy. As expected, it was unsuitable for people who studied. His handicraft ability… was not good.
However, he was very serious and recorded the process one by one.
After two tries, he finally wiped the sweat off his forehead and brought Madam Ge and Qin Anning back to the county.
After he left, Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan began to discuss mass-producing white sugar.
It was impossible to rely on just the two of them. They had to hire people and find another venue. Gu Yundong could not bear to use her newly built house as a workshop.
She also wanted to buy sugarcane and make a few more sets of tools.
Shao Qingyuan was silent for a moment before suddenly saying, “Let’s buy some people.”
Gu Yundong was stunned. “Buy someone?”
“Well, you don’t have to buy too many. Two or three will do. White sugar is extracted from black sugar. It’s not a secret to make black sugar. A lot of people know how to make it. We just have to do the last step.”
Gu Yundong hesitated for a moment and nodded. “Alright, then we’ll buy some workers. We’ll go tomorrow.”
The next morning, Gu Yundong went to the county city. Shao Qingyuan followed him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the two of them arrived at the city gate, they saw Liu Wei’s servant, Liu An.
Liu An was driving the carriage out of the city. When he saw Shao Qingyuan, he immediately became happy. “I was just about to go to Yongfu Village to look for you and Miss Gu.”
Hearing her name, Gu Yundong poked her head out of the carriage.
Liu An was even happier. “So Miss Gu is here too. Great, I don’t have to make another trip.”
“Why are you looking for us?”
“Miss Gu, how could you forget? Today is the agreed deadline between our young master and the Tao family’s young master. It’s in the afternoon. The young master specially asked me to invite the two of you to watch the show early in the morning..”
