Female supremacy: leading the whole family to change their family

Chapter 209: Mausoleum Construction

Ever since all the managers of the mausoleum were dismissed, Gu Yao felt that the situation here was very serious. After all, no one knew when these people would be dismissed.

Fortunately, those who were dismissed were their immediate superiors, so for these subordinates it was already good enough to be able to keep their jobs.

They have become accustomed to living here, and some have even moved all their family members here.

Although it is deserted, there are several small villages less than 100 meters away from here, so it is good enough for them to work here.

However, some people think that it is okay to be dismissed from their jobs. At least they can find work somewhere else. It is not like being beheaded.

Guarding the imperial mausoleum is not an easy job. After all, there are not many people around, and you won't meet anyone else here. It would be a good thing if you could move to other places.

Gu Yao didn't care much about these. After all, they were just here to repair the mausoleum, and they could go straight back to the capital after it was completed.

Work has been going smoothly over the past month and no one has disturbed them.

And things went more and more smoothly. After two months, the mausoleum was finally completed. Gu Zhiyou then reported all these matters and waited for the new emperor's approval so that they could go back.

One of them said that Lord Su sighed: "Fortunately it's done. We can finally leave this place. I haven't eaten well or slept well for more than two months. It's really a torture."

After this was said, everyone agreed: "Yes, yes, I don't know when I can go back. It would be great if I could go back tomorrow."

"I'd be willing to go back even if it takes two days. This is really not a place for people to stay."

After saying that, they immediately looked away and then discussed their work seriously, as if they were afraid that someone would know about their complaints.

This is a royal mausoleum, how can we complain? If we complain, wouldn't it make them feel that we are disrespectful to the royal family?

However, Gu Yao thought that the summary they made would definitely be approved, but unexpectedly, the new emperor called them again and directly told them to continue to revise it.

Gu Yao felt a little angry after seeing it. She thought that what they had built was pretty good. Did a empress dowager's mausoleum really have to be built magnificently? After all, it is the place where the dead live. How else should it be built?

Looking at this letter, they all had a headache.

Lord Su sighed: "Lord Gu, what do you think we should do? Should we continue repairing? We have already been here for more than two months. Do you plan to let us stay for another two months?"

Gu Yao thought that Gu Yue was about to get married, and it would be possible that she could not go back until he got married.

"I also want to go back soon. My third son is getting married soon. It would be unreasonable if I didn't go back."

When the others heard this, they hurriedly congratulated him: "Congratulations, Master Gu, your third son is getting married soon. When the time comes, please send us an invitation so that we can go to the wedding, and we will also give you gifts."

In the past two months, Gu Yao and these colleagues have become good friends, and sometimes they would drink and chat together.

Now that they can't go back, they feel even more sympathetic.

"Okay, I'll definitely post a message for you guys when the time comes so you must come."

However, thinking that they couldn't go back yet and feeling a little exhausted, they had no choice but to devote themselves to their work, hoping that the new emperor would be satisfied next time.

But they had already repaired everything else, so if they rebuilt it, they would just change the layout a little bit, nothing else would matter.

After that, they stayed in this place for more than a month and submitted another petition, hoping that the new emperor would agree to let them go back.

After the next month, the new emperor finally approved and allowed them all to go back. Gu Yao and the others felt relieved and even had a good meal in the evening.

She lived a decent life here. Although they were poor, her family sent them food, so they had chicken, duck, fish and meat.

I guess Xiaoshu and his friends can cook, so they had a hotpot.

On the way back, Gu Yao thought, the weather was cold when they came, but it was lively when they left. But fortunately, they were all fine, just tired. "

They are all thinking about going home early, so sometimes they are a little absent-minded when doing things, and even look at their home in a daze.

Since Lin Wulang knew that Gu Yao was coming back, he arranged for someone to clean the house again.

There are colorful ribbons hanging on the tree to welcome Gu Yao home.

She has been out for almost four months. Every time I see her not coming back, I worry that Gu Yao won't be able to come back either.

Now that she is coming back, Lin Wulang feels relieved and wishes Gu Yao could stand in front of him right now.

A few days later, seeing Gu Yao, Lin Wulang ran directly into her arms, choking with sobs and saying, "Wife, you are finally back. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Feeling Lin Wulang's enthusiasm, Gu Yao hugged him and sighed: "Now that I'm back, I probably won't leave again."

This is her first business trip in Beijing, and she probably won’t go on a business trip again unless something else happens.”

After returning home, the Gu family held a welcoming banquet for Gu Yao. The chef showed off his skills and made so many delicious dishes that Gu Yao almost ate too much.

After dinner, Gu Yao drank tea and sighed: "It's still good at home. Life outside is really not a human life. Fortunately, I'm back."

Gu Yao had indeed lost weight this time. After all, even though she had things sent by Lin Wulang and the others in the mausoleum, her living conditions were still not very good.

Lin Wulang looked distressed and said, "Let's not go out anymore. Let's just stay at home. Even if we have to work overtime sometimes, at least there will be someone to take care of you at home and you can eat well and live well."

Gu Yao said with emotion: "Take some more things and send them to Xiaoshu's house. Xiaoshu has also suffered."

Lin Wulang nodded: "Before you came back, I also sent things to their family every now and then. Xiaoshu has always been your confidant, and now her eldest son is working beside Ah Ping, so the family will naturally treat them better."

It can be said that Gu Xiaoshu’s family is now considered as retainers of the Gu family.

Gu Yao had previously established a home school for the Gu family so that the children of the Gu family could study together.

Gu Xiaoshu's children are also studying there. As long as they have a promising future, Gu Yao will train them carefully and place them next to the Gu family's children.

However, Gu Yao would be willing if they took the imperial examination. After all, they were not servants but members of the Gu family. It would be best for them if they could pass the examination.

Some members of Gu Xiaoshu's family were unwilling to go, but the second son of the Gu family went and even passed the imperial examination and became a scholar.

But even if he passed the examination for the scholar, he might fail again before taking the examination for the juren. Gu Xiaoshu thought that if he failed, he could come and work for the young ladies, which would be a good place to be.

Han Yuqing also hopes that the children of the Han family will become servants of the Gu family, but he doesn't know whether the children of the Han family are willing to do so.
