Chapter Ninety-Seven: Grudges

After Liu Piaopiao stuffed a purse into my hand, he left in a hurry. The workmanship of this purse is exquisite, and it is embroidered with the orchid of the four gentlemen.

I guess she embroidered it herself, did she give it to me to give it to Zhuo Ran? She knows that Zhuo Ran finished the first exam today, so I'll give it to Zhuo Ran later, I hope he can be moved.

I felt that I was now old for the whole month, and after putting away the purse that Liu Piaopiao had given, I ran outside for a walk, and finally waited for lunch.

After I brought the roast duck I bought outside back to He Zhuoran's room, at the table, I couldn't wait to take out Liu Piaopiao's purse and put it in front of him, "Here you go." ”

Zhuo Ran, who was chewing a piece of duck meat in his mouth, looked at me with wide eyes and said incredulously, "You did it?" ”

"Do you think it's possible? It's Liu Piaopiao, he gave it to you. I said.

"Give it back to her." Zhuo Ran didn't seem interested, didn't look at the purse again, and ate the roast duck meat in front of him.

I sat down across from him and said, "This Liu Piaopiao is really good, he will take care of people, be careful, the point is, he is also good-hearted, and he will repay his kindness...... Have you thought about it? ”

"Consider what?" Zhuo Ran didn't raise his head.

"Marry her home!"

Zhuo Ran stopped what he was doing and said, "Why are you stuffing everyone to me?" ”

"No, it's not that Liu Piaopiao who looks good and wants you to marry her! You can't let me follow you like this for the rest of your life! I said.

"You can leave at any time, but you must tell me before you leave, otherwise I will be distracted." Zhuo Ran's expression was serious.

"But, if you don't marry a daughter-in-law, how can I explain to your mother when I leave!" Since they are a family, they still have to be careful.

"I'll make it clear to my mother."

I didn't answer again, I just thought, how to make him accept Liu Piaopiao, this stubborn donkey, there is only that He Yuxiu in his heart.

"Forget it, I won't tell you yet, I'll send her some roast duck."

Picking up a plate of roast duck meat that had been released, I sent it to Liu Piaopiao. When he came back, Zhuo Ran cleaned up the table and wrote something on it.

"I wrote a letter to my mother, I don't know how she is doing recently." Zhuo Ran told me.

However, when I heard him say that he was writing a letter, I remembered a meme and asked him, "How do you send it back?" ”

Having lived in this ancient world for so long, I have never heard of a place where I could send letters.

"When I came out of the examination room this morning, a fellow was about to ask his scholar to bring a letter home, so I had to trouble his scholar." Zhuo Ran said.

"Whatever you want."

"I'm going to go outside later, will you go?"

"Of course I want to go." It's my duty to keep you safe. There are so many people in this capital, who knows if there will be bad people.

When Zhuo Ran was about to go and give the letter to his so-called fellow, I yelled to go, but he had no choice but to follow me.

His fellow lives in another "Jinhua Inn" on the same street, and when he saw his so-called fellow, I was not only surprised, but his fellow was also surprised.

This fellow is none other than Chang Yanxiao.

"Long time no see." I said hello first.

"Are you healed?"

Chang Yanxiao's words made me not react for a while, how did he know that I was injured, think about it, he should be talking about the night when he was still in Hangzhou, watching the lantern festival.

"It's been fine for a long time, and it was really thanks to you that night. Thank you! "At the end of the day, I thanked him.

"Don't thank me, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to beat that monster." Chang Yanxiao said.

"Yanxiao, we're about to go out, do we want to be together?" Zhuo Ran invited.

Chang Yanxiao smiled and said to Zhuo Ran, "Go ahead." ”

Bidding farewell to Chang Yanxiao, Zhuo Ran and I wandered around this crowded street.

"Did he also take the liberal arts exam, and when he was in Hangzhou, didn't he still have the title of Wu Jieyuan?" When I think of Hangzhou, my shopkeeper Hu Ping told me.

"After the martial arts test, Yanxiao is really a rare talent in both civil and military affairs." Zhuo Ran praised.

"You don't hate him anymore?"

It's not that I don't open any pot and mention which pot, but I dare to open this mouth when I saw that the two of them were talking and laughing just now, and besides, if he and he were officials in the same dynasty, these things should also have an end.

"He's right about this, why should I hate him." Zhuo Ran understated, and seemed to have really completely let go of the hatred that shouldn't have been hate.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way......"

A series of shouts came from the front, and then all the pedestrians were seen to back away. From the middle of the road, a group of people and horses carrying a sedan chair greeted them.

Zhuo Ran pulled me aside and made way for the group.

"It's not small!" I said.

"This is the newly appointed Mrs. Gu, I heard that this Mrs. Gu is very favored in front of the emperor now!" A man next to him said.

"This Taifu's surname is Gu, but his original name is Gu Teng?" Zhuo Ran asked the man.

I was curious why he asked this, after seeing the man's nod, I found that Zhuo Ran's expression changed, a little gloomy, when the sedan chair passed by us, he stared without blinking, until the shadow of the sedan chair was covered by the crowd, he still stood in place and watched the direction in which the sedan chair disappeared.

"What's wrong with you, do you know that person?" I asked him with a waving hand.

"Let's go back to the inn." Zhuo Ran didn't answer me, which made me curious.

Back in the inn's room, Zhuo Ran sat at the table, his expression still grim.

"What the hell is going on, you can't tell me? Maybe I can help you. ”

"You can't help, I'll figure this out myself."

Zhuoran's answer left me scratching my head.

"If you don't say it, how can you be sure that I can't help?" Now I'm even more curious.

Zhuo Ran stopped talking, and I had to give up asking. So, when I went to bed at night, I planned to pinch my fingers and count the matter between him and that Gu Teng.

This calculation, a grudge of more than ten years emerged, of course, this is not mine, but the Zhuo Ran family and that Gu Teng.

What I know is this, Zhuo Ran's father was a big businessman more than ten years ago, and he had more than a dozen businesses under his name. Although it is more miscellaneous, it is also doing well, not only many shops in Hangzhou, but also nearby cities have his industry.

At that time, the prefect of Hangzhou City was the Gu Teng he met today, and the entry and exit of Zhuo Ran's father's goods were all subject to inspection by the government. Although he is doing serious business, but during the New Year's holidays, Zhuo Ran's father will give some gifts.

After a long time, the two naturally called each other brothers, and often drank wine and visited the kiln together.

However, things are not as simple as they seem, once Zhuo Ran's father sent a batch of goods to a neighboring county, but after the goods arrived, the county government over there said that Zhuo Ran's father sold illicit salt, and the goods had been detained by the local county government.
