Chapter 031: Zhanjia (2)

"Grandma, the Dingguang next to the uncle is back. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

Zizhu walked softly to the hall and whispered back.

Gu Jialuo's eyes lit up, and he put down the account book in his hand, "Let him come in and talk back!" ”

Zizhu hurriedly agreed and withdrew.

After a while, he led a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy in, this kid was not very old, but he was very tall, his skin was dark, and he had a sharp spirit in his actions.

Others don't know Dingguang's identity, but Zizhu, as Gu Jialuo's personal maid, is very clear.

Dingguang and that Hanguang are nominally Qi Jinzhi's entourage, but of course they are actually from the Qi family's family slaves.

But it is a little different from ordinary house slaves, both of their fathers and ancestors are soldiers of the Qi family's army, and they have practiced martial arts since childhood.

To use an inappropriate analogy, Dingguang and these people are a bit like the trilogy of the Sui and Tang dynasties, they are the servants of the Qi family, but their status is higher than that of ordinary slaves.

"The little one greets the big grandma!"

Dingguang stood directly under the porch of the door, carrying a burden behind him, his face was full of wind and dust, he clasped his hands into fists, and saluted respectfully.

Gu Jialuo leaned forward and asked eagerly, "How many days is the uncle?" Adapting to everything outside? Did he receive everything I had sent them? ”

On that day, the Zhu family suddenly visited, and Gu Jialuo vaguely guessed her 'identity', and his heart seemed to have weeds, and he couldn't feel at ease.

It's not that Gu Jialuo is timid, it's really that this kind of thing 'Gu' is too terrifying, and it is simply impossible to prevent it.

In the battle on the surface, Gu Jialuo is not afraid, but Gu worm ...... Hiss, as soon as he thought of the scene depicted in the rumors, Gu Jialuo couldn't help but stand on end.

Compared with herself, she was more worried about Qi Jinzhi, as soon as he arrived in Wusa, he sacrificed his iron and bloody wrists, and the hatred of the Ma clan and other Yi tribes was full.

If the Zhu clan was really as powerful as the Duan clan said, Gu Jialuo didn't dare to imagine whether Qi Jinzhi would suffer a poisonous disaster outside.

You must know that now Qi Jinzhi is wandering around in the mountains, deep in the mountains and old forests, the most important thing is all kinds of highly toxic things, as well as strange people who escape from the world!

For several nights in a row, Gu Jialuo would wake up from nightmares, and when he opened his eyes, he couldn't forget the weird and terrifying pictures that appeared in the dream, as well as Qi Jinzhi's miserable appearance of being tortured by Gu worms.

"So that the eldest grandmother knows that the uncle arrived in a town more than 200 miles away from the city three days ago, although the town is a little remote, but the materials are quite abundant, and all the food is cheap,"

Dingguang half-hung his head, his eyes fell on the bluestone floor not far in front of him, and his voice was unhurried: "The things you sent, the uncle likes it very much." It just so happened that the uncle had just pulled out a cottage, and when he saw that a few of the confiscated items were still new, he specially ordered the small ones to be sent back and played with by the grandmother. ”

As he spoke, he untied the burden on his body, took out a box more than a foot long from it, and held it in front of him with both hands.

Xia Zhi stood by the door, and seeing this, he hurriedly stepped forward to take the box, and then sent it to the house.

"Pulled out a knock-off?" Gu Jialuo didn't look at the box, but continued to ask, "Is it still going well?" Are the uncle and the guards okay? ”

Qi Jinzhi just arrived at the place and went to suppress the bandits?

Isn't it too rushed?

Also, those bandits entrenched in the mountains and forests are extremely strong, and there should be a lot of them, Qi Jinzhi brought about 40 people, can they easily deal with it? He's not hurt, is he?!

Dingguang heard the anxiety and concern in Gu Jialuo's words, and his cold expression softened a lot, but he still replied in a calm tone: "Please also rest assured, grandma, everything is going well." The uncle and brother are also safe and sound. ”

After a pause, he suddenly felt that this was not convincing, and Dingguang explained carefully: "Although there are many thieves in that stockade, they are all rabble, and they are not our opponents at all. In addition, the uncle made a careful plan in advance, and the brothers were accustomed to fighting in the mountains and forests, and they took the stockade in just a few hours. ”

On the one hand, there are bandits from ordinary people, and on the other hand, there are professional soldiers trained in the southwest field, and when the two sides encounter, as long as the difference between the number of enemies and us is too large (such as one hundred to one), they will win steadily.

Gu Jialuo breathed a sigh of relief, but was still a little worried: "Are there any casualties?" ”

No matter how big the chance of winning is, it is also a real hand-to-hand combat, and bloodshed and injury are inevitable.

Dingguang was silent for a moment, a touch of gloom flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "The little one doesn't dare to deceive the eldest grandmother, forty brothers, three seriously injured, nine lightly injured, fortunately, the uncle was not injured." ”

Because they were injured, they went to the town to repair, and by the way, they also checked the local farmland, population, and prisons.

At this moment, Gu Jialuo's people searched for Qi Jinzhi's mark.

After reading Gu Jialuo's letter, he looked at the antidote pill that Doctor Yan hastily made, and Qi Jinzhi couldn't say anything in his heart.

It just so happened that Qi Dayong led people to sort out all the loot seized from the cottage, Qi Jinzhi picked out a few elegant small objects, and he packed up the reply letter he wrote with those few things, and ordered people to send them back to the county seat quickly.

"Okay, I know everything. You've been on the road for half a day, and you're tired, so go down and rest. ”

After making sure that Qi Jinzhi was really fine, Gu Jialuo completely relieved himself and sent Dingguang away.

Dingguang bowed and withdrew.

Gu Jialuo took the box, well, there was still some weight.

Opening the box, there was a letter on the top, Gu Jialuo glanced at it, it was Qi Jinzhi's handwriting.

Underneath the letter is a row of exquisitely carved ivory Arhats.

Gu Jialuo took the letter and counted it, and there were no more and no less, exactly eighteen. The height of the largest arhat is about the length of an adult man's palm, and the smallest is four or five inches tall.

The eighteen arhats are all carved from the finest ivory, and the carving is exquisite and lifelike.

Such a set of ivory carving Arhats, sent to Beijing, is worth thousands of taels of silver, to say the least.

Of course, Gu Jialuo didn't care how much this thing was worth, the courtesy was light and courteous, it was all Qi Jinzhi's heart for her.

There was a surge of sweetness in his heart, and Gu Jialuo deliberately laughed: "No wonder they all say that fighting a war is the best way to make money." ”

In Qi Jinzhi's eyes, thousands of taels of things are just 'gadgets to play', and it is not difficult for Gu Jialuo to imagine that Qi Jinzhi must have seized a lot of good things this time to suppress the bandits.

Ziwei saw that Gu Jialuo was finally no longer worried, so she smiled and played, "Look at the slave maid, the uncle still has a big grandmother in his heart." "Otherwise, no matter how many good things people have, they may not be willing to take them out.

"Push narrow!"

Gu Jialuo was happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and rubbed the ivory carving Arhat one by one, then put it back in the box, and ordered Ziwei to put it away.

Ziwei went to the bedroom with the box.

Gugaro began to read the letter.

Qi Jinzhi's letter was not written for a long time, the first part briefly talked about the current situation of their group, and the second part replied to Gu Jialuo's worries.

“…… yes, I'm so confused, how did I forget this stubble. ”

After the Zhu family appeared, Gu Jialuo was always worried that she would secretly do it. Gu worms or something, you can't prevent it.

Qi Jinzhi calmly told her that the Qi family had been in the southwest for forty or fifty years, not only had they trained a Qi family army, but also some of the specialties of the Yi family, even if the Qi family had not mastered them thoroughly, at least they had learned how to restrain them.

Qi Jinzhi also told Gu Jialuo that the poisonous Gu was not as evil as the legend, otherwise, those Yi tribes would not submit to the imperial court.

"It makes sense, if the poison Gu is really that powerful, the major families in Shuixi will not actively cooperate with the government."

Gu Jialuo let out a long sigh of relief, and his emotions that had been restless for a few days were finally relieved.

is in a good mood, Qi Jinzhi also has news, and Gu Jialuo has a leisure holiday.

Embroidering the five poisonous purses, wrapping zongzi, tying colorful silk threads, preparing mugwort leaves and realgar wine, Gu Jialuo, Duan's and Xue's were very busy.

"The Yi people also celebrate the May Festival, but they are not here to commemorate Dr. Qu,"

Duan's soft-spoken Gu and Xue popularized the local customs, "For example, Miao Village, they are here to commemorate a warrior...... On the fifth day of the first month, dragon boat racing, well, some also play glutinous rice cakes. ”

The three of them were talking and laughing, and a little maid came in outside to reply: "Grandma, Mrs. Zhu is here." ”

Duan put away his smile, and a flash of caution flashed in his eyes.

The Xue family had never seen the Zhu family, and occasionally heard the Duan family mention it, but they only knew that the Zhu family was the wife of Ma Xiancheng, but they didn't know about it.

Gu Jialuo paused and said with a smile: "Hurry up, please!" ”

But he muttered secretly in his heart, saying that he would not go to the Three Treasures Hall if he had nothing to do, and the Zhu family came this time, and he didn't know what was going on.

However, compared to the last time, Gu Jialuo was much more indifferent, and when she saw Zhu leading a strange woman in, she only raised her eyebrows.

"I've seen Gu Ruren,"

Zhu saluted with standard movements, and then said with a little embarrassment: "Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, the concubine made a few things to eat, I thought I would invite the widow to taste it, but I was afraid of violating your taboo, so I sent the things." I hope that the widows will not be disgusted. ”

As she spoke, Zhu Shi took a red lacquered plum blossom box from the maid beside her, and she lifted the lid to show the contents inside.

Gu Jialuo said in his mouth, 'You bothered', his eyes fell on the box, well, there were a few delicate dim sum in it, among which was the 'glutinous glutinous cake' that Duan had just mentioned.

It's just that the colors sent by the Zhu family are colorful, and the shape is also extraordinarily delicate and small, and they are placed on the emerald bamboo leaves one by one, which looks more and more delicious and attractive.

"It's all wild things in our mountains, and they can't be put on the table, so please try it," Zhu fastened the lid and held it with both hands.

Ziwei hurriedly stepped forward to take it.

Gu Jialuo said with a smile: "Mrs. Zhu is really polite, our Yunnan is rich in products, and there are countless special delicacies, and now there is Mrs. Zhu's skillful cooking, this time I am blessed." ”

Gu Jialuo glanced at Ziwei.

Ziwei understood, put the box away, beckoned a little maid, and whispered a few words.

Gu Jialuo didn't seem to see the woman next to the Zhu family, and continued to greet the Zhu family.

Zhu Shi met Gu Jialuo's bright and bright smile, and wondered in his heart: Huh? Last time, she still looked 'scared', why does it seem to be a different person today?

But the woman beside her couldn't help it, and coughed impatiently.

The Zhu family came back to his senses, "The concubine also brought a guest, the second lady of the Shuixi Zhan family, A Zhuo......"

Gu Jialuo narrowed her eyes, she seemed to have seen this Second Miss Zhan somewhere.
