Chapter 6 Yang Mansion
"I'm really not a beggar. www.biquge.info"She looked at the old man's back and could only talk to herself.
Laughter sounded behind her, and when she turned her head, she saw that the young man who was also suffering with her in the underworld was holding his stomach and laughing breathlessly. "It turns out that your backbone is worth two cents."
Gu Changsheng was not annoyed, these two cents were a piece of kindness from the old man, and it was not like the humiliation that the young man said, although he was a little embarrassed, but it was really uncomfortable to be hungry, if he accepted it, he could buy another bun tomorrow. She carefully put the two pennies away, "Why are you here?" ”
The young man said, "Why can't I be here, you and I are both people who have been arrested by the underworld, can you flee in this direction, can't I go here?" ”
Changsheng heard him mention the underworld unscrupulously, and nervously raised his finger to his lips, he could be regarded as a "fugitive", how low-key and low-key should he be. She looked around thiefly, afraid that if the people heard about it, they would kill her as a monster, "Can you be quieter?" ”
The boy said, "Why do you want to be quiet." He said as he grabbed a passer-by on the road, pointed at Gu Changsheng and said, "She just said that she came back from the underworld, do you believe it?" ”
Isn't that a ghost, passers-by looked at the scorching sun, and then at the shadow that Gu Changsheng left on the ground, "The little girl didn't wake up, there is a medical clinic on the left two streets in front, the doctor there is a good doctor, and my mother's insomnia and dreams were also cured by him." ”
Gu Changsheng could only smirk, there was no atmosphere rendering in broad daylight, no one would believe her such a mysterious experience, either she didn't wake up, or she directly treated her as a madman.
Before leaving, the passer-by kindly asked if he wanted to take her to the hospital, he knew the doctor, and it was cheap to buy medicine. Gu Changsheng refused kindly, and then planned to part ways with the young man, "Goodbye." ”
The boy grabbed her ponytail, and the pain was so painful that her scalp was almost pulled out along with the roots of her hair. "Do you know where Kunlun Mountain is?"
"I don't know, but the road is on my lips, and I can always walk by asking along the way." She is naturally optimistic, and she always believes that the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge.
The young man said, "I know where Kunlun Mountain is, and I'm about to go in that direction." There is a shortage of maids by my side to carry tea and water, do you want to do it? If you are willing to do it, you will be provided with food and accommodation along the way. ”
Gu Changsheng had a momentary heartbeat, after all, she had no money, and she had only been gone for so many days and was worried about food, clothing, housing and transportation. But when he thought of his evil deeds in the underworld, he was afraid that if he agreed, he would get on the thief ship, and when the time came, he would take her to some dangerous places. She said euphemistically, "I'm clumsy, I'm afraid that the service is not thoughtful enough, so you might as well find someone else." ”
The boy laughed, "Do you think that when I ask you, I really want you to think about it?" He raised his index finger, and flames sprang out of his fingertips, circling in a spiral around his index finger, obediently like a kitten or puppy he had tamed. It's just that if this fire burns on others, it may not be so obedient.
He repeated, "There is a shortage of maids by my side to carry tea and water, do you want to do it?" If you are willing to do it, you will be provided with food and accommodation along the way. ”
She had no confidence, so she could only accept her fate, "...... Do. ”
The young man took her to one of the richest houses in the city, and the plaque was inscribed with the word Yang Mansion on the iron painting silver hook. He nudged her and ordered, "Go knock." ”
Gu Changsheng was puzzled, "Aren't you going to Kunlun Mountain?" ”
"Do I have anything to do before I go, or do you have any opinions?"
Changsheng knew that this person had the right to speak, and he would do whatever he wanted, although he asked her with a smile, but her opinion was not an opinion to him at all, she had already learned to be obedient, "I'll knock on the door." ”
The young man confessed, "In the future, you will call me young master and call yourself a slave." ”
She suddenly remembered something, "You...... What is your name, young master? When others ask me in the future, I ...... The slave and maid can also answer. ”
"Name." He thought for a while, which made Gu Changsheng have to be suspicious, and answered that his name needed to be used. The young man smiled, and the dazzling sunlight stayed at the corners of his curved lips, bringing out the small pear vortex on the side of his cheeks, "My name is Xi Zixu." ”
……
The little guy who came to answer the door led them in, the Yang Mansion was magnificent inside and out, even the chairs were spotlessly clean, and the Yang family master who was sitting on the main seat invited them to take a seat, Gu Changsheng's butt stuck to the chair, and he found that the chair was slippery, and the stool she used to sit in the Hades Temple, but it was really different from the stool made of axes with the wood she picked up.
The slightly chubby old man of the Yang family was very kind, and when he saw her staring at the table and chairs, he asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Xi Zixu said, "My newly accepted maid just came out of the countryside, and I haven't seen anything on the market, so it's rare and weird, don't pay attention to her." Xi Zixu asked, "I already know your business, and you should know my rules." ”
The old man of the Yang family nodded, and looked at the other pair of guests sitting opposite them in the hall, also a man and a woman, also seventeen or eighteen-year-old teenagers and girls, the difference is that the girl on the opposite side is better dressed than Gu Changsheng, the clothes are made of satin fabric, and the hair is also tied with hostas, unlike Changsheng who only uses a rope to tie his long hair.
Master Yang smiled, "Jia Yuanwai only said that you are capable, but he didn't say that you are also so young, you are really a hero and a young man." ”
In addition to a man and a woman opposite Gu Changsheng in the hall, there was also a red-nosed old Taoist, who hung a yellow cloth bag on his left shoulder, followed by two disciples, and on the right side of the old Taoist sat a monk who was blind with one eye and a robe and holding a magic staff.
The guests of this Yang family are really varied.
Master Yang said, "I have ordered to prepare the wine and food, everyone, ......."
Xi Zixu interrupted without giving face, "I'm a little tired, I want to sleep for a while, let's bring the food to my room." ”
When Master Yang heard this, he got up to greet him, and called the head of the Yang Mansion to lead them to the wing room first. Xi Zixu's arrogant attitude and Master Yang's differential treatment really caused dissatisfaction among the other guests, and they immediately looked at them with disgust like a mouse.
Xi Zi was flattered by this gaze, but what Gu Changsheng didn't understand was that she hadn't said a word, why should she be whipped by these gazes.
The head of the Yang family took them to the wing, and through the corridor was a curved stone path, which was full of flowers on both sides of the path, and those flowers bloomed very large, white, red, and pink in various colors. Because of the abundant nutrients, the branches and leaves are also extremely luxuriant, and the branches are thick and twisted and intertwined with each other.
Gu Changsheng couldn't hide his curiosity and looked around, there was a magnificence here that she had never seen before, taking Xi Zixu's words, she was indeed rare and strange.
An independent room suddenly appeared in his sight, and Gu Changsheng couldn't help but stop, just because he found that the room was very strange. From the door to the window, it was all covered with dense yellow charms.
"Gu Changsheng!" Xi Zixu's voice came from the branches and leaves, and Changsheng came back to his senses and found that the path had disappeared, and he wouldn't encounter any "strange things" in broad daylight.
She peeled aside the dense foliage and found that the path was only obscured by the extended foliage, and she turned sideways, not wanting to spoil the grass and trees.
It wasn't until she got out of the path that she saw the chief manager and Xi Zixu waiting for her outside the wing not far away, and she asked curiously, "What kind of flower is that, it's so beautiful." ”
"That's called Mu Hibiscus, because my young lady likes it, and the old man specially asked people to bring it back from other places and transplant it to the yard." ”
"Don't you trim the branches and leaves of those flowers?"
"My young lady was reluctant to cut off the branches and leaves, so she told the gardener not to prune, but to let the flowers grow freely." ”
Because neither of them had any courtesy, so there was no need to clean it up, and the manager asked Xi Zixu if he was satisfied.
Xi Zixu shook in the room, "It's just the rest, but I can't just live and eat." He touched the mattress of the bed, "This is not made of Yangzhou satin, it is really prickly, and I changed it." Just prepare the abalone cucumber wings and belly for food, and the wine should be aged and carved. ”
The manager wrote them down one by one, and said to Changsheng, "The little girl's room is next door. ”
Xi Zixu said, "No need, this is my maid, if I am hungry in the middle of the night, maybe I will let her go and get me some food, if she sleeps next door, it is not good to call her." You can just take something and spread it on the floor and let her sleep. ”
The long-term malnutrition made Gu Changsheng look like he was only twelve or thirteen years old, so he wouldn't cause any gossip when he had sex with Xi Zixu.
The steward looked at her sympathetically, pitiful for her, and followed the evil lord. In fact, she was somewhat mentally prepared, although Xi Zixu offered her all kinds of preferential conditions, she didn't dare to really think that she could have the same level as him in terms of food and accommodation all the way.
The chief manager brought the abalone cucumber wings according to Xi Zixu's request, Xi Zixu glanced at the dishes on the table, and said to Gu Changsheng, "Sit down and eat." "Changsheng was flattered.
Xi Zi raised his eyebrows, "What, you still don't want to?" ”
"Nope." Gu Changsheng was afraid that he would regret it, so he immediately sat down, grabbed his chopsticks, looked at the exquisite dishes he had never seen before, thought about which dish to start with, and finally chose a piece of pork slices with a small family.
This may not even be eaten during the New Year.
She put the slices of meat in her mouth and chewed them, so moved that she almost cried. Then, instinctively, he began to attack the delicacies on the table, sweeping away the dishes on the table in a very short time.
Xi Zixu asked, "Have you eaten enough?" ”
Gu Changsheng coughed and nodded.
Xi Zi smirked, "You were not a locust in your last life, you must be an evil ghost, you are full, I haven't eaten yet." His face was pulled down, not a single grain of rice in the rice bowl in his hand had been moved, the chopsticks were as clean as ever, and not a drop of vegetable oil had been stained. Don't take all these empty plates away and give them to the kitchen to get them again. ”
"Oh." Gu Changsheng put away the dishes, because he had a full meal, even if he was scolded, he was still happy. It took only a few steps to get out of the room before I remembered that I didn't know where the kitchen was.
In front of the room plastered with yellow talismans, the red-nosed old man set up a table, burned incense and candles, and on the table was a money sword made of copper coins strung with red thread, a live chicken, and a golden bell, and his two disciples were killing black dogs for blood.
