"Huh?" Shi Yuanji was dumbfounded, he thought he was doing something earth-shattering, but it turned out to be a thousand taels of gold to buy a cat's life?

Even Hu Fashun was stunned, and couldn't help but say, "Dad, what are you doing?"

"I'm talking about the white cat of the Gui family. Hu Dan said unhurriedly. "Gui Yihu and I are classmates, and I know his living habits very well. ”

He likes to raise white cats, he likes them since he was a child, and when he was studying in Chengyun Pavilion, he was often accompanied by white cats, called Jade Lion. Later, when this jade lion died, he raised another one, also called the jade lion, and now he is raised in the Gui Mansion, which is very noble. The jade lion ate better than anyone else in their family. ”

"He used to eat a braised chicken every morning, rain or shine. This braised chicken must be marinated at night to have his favorite flavor. Early the next morning, he put it in a food box and sent it to his bedroom, and he couldn't get wind in the middle, otherwise the flavor would be greatly reduced, and he didn't like it. ”

"There's only one thing I want you to do. Kill the jade lion, then put it in the food box of the braised chicken, and then bring the braised chicken back, and you're done. ”

"It's that simple?" Shi Yuanji said incredulously.

"Yes, it's as simple as that. Hu Dan picked up the tea bowl and drank the tea leisurely.

Shi Yuanji thought about it, suddenly realized, and said solemnly: "I understand, I promise you." ”

Hu Dan took out a pattern from the desk and handed it to him: "Very good, this is the topographical map of Guifu, go ahead, I am waiting for your good news." ”

Outside the Gui Mansion, Hu Fashun hid in an alley, quietly waiting for news from Shi Yuanji. And Shi Yuanji has already jumped into the Gui Mansion.

"This thousand taels of gold is too easy to earn. Shi Yuanji carried the dead white cat and muttered to himself.

Guifu covers a vast area, from the main house to the side house, from the front hall to the backyard, there are more than 20 houses in total. The main house where Gui Yihu lives is even more luxurious, carved beams and paintings, high eaves and teeth, three steps, one furnace, nine steps and one lamp, it is really magnificent.

After inspecting the layout of the entire Gui Mansion, an even bigger question emerged in Shi Yuanji's heart. He discovered that the barrier around the kitchen of the Gui Mansion was actually invalid.

There are patrolling families everywhere in the huge Gui Mansion, and there are dragon patterns for alarms in various critical places. But here, all the dragon patterns around the kitchen are invalid, and there are not even patrolling families, which is a location that can sneak into the main house of the Gui Mansion. The consequences of the failure of the alarm, as long as people with long brains can think of it, can't Gui Yihu think of it?

"No, it's not. Before coming to Guifu, he was very strange, what is the use of a dead cat? Now seeing the layout of Guifu, he finally understood Hu Dan's terrible thoughts. "This Hu Dan is such a terrible person, I have to deal with him carefully. ”

In the kitchen of Guifu, a cook lady is busy making braised chicken for the next morning. She has rough skin and thick fingers, and she looks like a person who works all the time. She does her best, every seasoning, every step is perfect, and watching her cook is a pleasure.

Shi Yuanji watched the cook make the braised chicken, cut it into pieces and put it on a plate, and then put it in the food box, all in one go, very skillful and careful. He was already convinced that this was the braised chicken that Gui Yihu wanted to eat. The kitchen lights went out, and the cook walked out of the kitchen and went back to rest.

"Is this cook Hu Dan's secret son?" After Shi Yuanji realized the truth, he was quite a rumor, and he had to observe everyone carefully.

Shi Yuanji slowly touched the door of the kitchen, took out the braised chicken in the food box, took it with the plate, and put the dead cat again. He came to the wall, put the feather cone up like a step, and walked out step by step.

Hu Fashun watched Shi Yuanji fly back to the gate of Hufu with a plate of braised chicken, stepping on a feather cone, and hurriedly greeted him.

"It's done. In order to dispel his vigilance, Shi Yuanji picked up a piece of chicken and chewed it.

Hu Fashun was confused, he didn't know why his father asked Shi Yuanji to do such a thing. But he still chose to believe Hu Dan, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go, go back and make a difference." ”

The two came to the study, Hu Dan was reading the novel with relish, Shi Yuanji fixed his eyes, and the words "Xi He Biography" were written on the cover.

Shi Yuanji carefully put the plate on the desk, picked up a piece of chicken and ate it, and bowed down: "So that the seniors know that there is no danger, thank you seniors for their support." ”

Hu Dan saw Shi Yuanji's approach, and said in his heart: "I'm afraid that I'm not at ease, I'm really a careful and transparent kid, it's a bit interesting." He didn't feel greasy and dirty his hands, so he also picked up a piece of braised chicken and ate it.

"Dad, what if it's poisonous?" Hu Fashun hurriedly stopped Hu Dan, but it was too late.

"It's okay, you can try it too, it's delicious, it's just that this plate of braised chicken has been windy, and the taste has been exuded a little. Hu Dan said with a smile.

Hu Fashun looked at the plate of braised chicken, and refused to do it. Hu Dan looked at the two young men with a smile, picked up a silver ticket of one thousand taels of gold, and handed it to Shi Yuanji.

Shi Yuanji looked at the silver ticket directly, took it carefully with his slightly trembling hands, and said solemnly: "Thank you seniors." ”

"Boy, you're good. Hu Dan said sincerely. "Don't forget to take the exam in three days, and when the time comes, you will be able to apply for law directly, and you will definitely be able to go to high school." ”

"Thank you, seniors. Shi Yuanji was very happy and solemnly saluted again.

"I asked Hu Fashun to invite you to come in the evening, it's really rude, don't be surprised. Our father and son still have something to say, so I won't keep you. Fa Shun, you send him. ”

Hu Fashun nodded, and then took Shi Yuanji out of the house.

Hu Dan picked up the braised chicken and chewed it carefully, as if he was caught in a memory. In the Chengyun Pavilion that year, the young Hu Dan and Gui Yihu had a very good relationship, and after a drunkenness, Gui Yihu talked about his life experience.

“...... I am a concubine, a concubine in the concubine, who cares about me in the Gui family? My mother and I can only eat meat once a year, or the leftovers that others don't want. The best thing I ever ate when I was a kid, the braised chicken made by my mother, I will never forget it......"

“...... I, Gui Yihu, swear to heaven that I must make the Gui family regret it and let them know that Gui Yihu, who they have always looked down on, is the genius of the Gui family......"

“...... No one will try to stop me, and if anyone stands in my way, I will let him die without a place to be buried......"

“...... Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully young people into poor ......"

He frowned slightly, sighed softly, and muttered to himself: "Gui Yihu, you and I will die after all!"

Hu Fashun returned to the door of the study, hesitated, and made up his mind to enter the study for a long time, and saw Hu Dan's vicissitudes of old face at a glance. He was very confused, and couldn't help asking, "Dad, you are usually very cautious, why are you so radical today?"

Hu Dan didn't answer his question, and seemed to be still immersed in memories: "From the two aspects of character and brain, tell me, how is this Shi Yuanji?"

Hu Fashun said with some frustration: "Father is right, Shi Yuanji is really good at dragon pattern charms, I can't compare to him." But I think he has never seen the world before, and it is difficult to achieve great things. ”

"You see when he saw the silver ticket, his saliva was about to come out, as if he had never seen so much money. I've seen a lot of men of the same level as him, but I've never seen him like this. ”

"Because he really hasn't seen that much money. Hu Dan laughed out loud and picked up the braised chicken and tasted it carefully. "You, a Zhonglang, have been doing it for a long time, and you have begun to stop eating fireworks in the world? If you have the opportunity, learn from your third sister to wander around, so as not to talk like this nonsense again. ”

Hu Fashun bowed his head and was silent, sighing.

Hu Dan smiled and said, "You, how can I say hello to my father? You ask me why I am so radical? This question is even visible to that Shi Yuanji, and you still can't see it?"

"How did he see that?" said Hu Fashun in surprise.

"Guess why he picked up a piece of chicken to eat in front of his father, and said that there was no danger, thank you for carrying it?" asked Hu Dan.

Hu Fa stood up suddenly, he looked at Hu Dan with wide eyes, and felt a little chill in his heart: "Because Dad, you have already arranged it in the Gui Mansion, and what he Shi Yuanji has done is just the last step?"

Hu Dan hated iron and said: "You, you have finally opened your mind." He no longer bothered Hu Fashun and continued to enjoy braised chicken.
