Chapter 51: Chang Gui's Letter
Gong Zhu's family, as well as Boss Zhang and Lie Shan, settled down in a small courtyard not far from the Northern Qi Palace. The seventh girl and Granny Chunfu cleaned up for a few days before cleaning the yard, but fortunately, Beiqi was very obedient and did not run around, which saved them a lot of worry.
Xuancheng Gongzhu, the boss of Waizhang, was a businessman who came to the Northern Qi Kingdom from Qingguo to do business, and walked around the city with Gongzhu and the guard Lieshan for a few days, looking around for so many years, or finding a teahouse or restaurant to sit down and listen to what the people around him were saying and understand some of the situation.
Hua Mian stayed at home to help the Seven Girls and Chunfu's mother-in-law, mainly to protect the Northern Qi. Don't talk about it now, Hua Mian is sitting in the courtyard and accompanying Beiqi to write letters.
"Uncle Flower Face, you say, how should this letter be given to the little princess Qixin?"
Hua Mian silently wiped his knife and didn't speak, but Northern Qi seemed to have become accustomed to Hua Mian's expression. didn't care, and continued to talk to himself.
"I'm going to tell this little princess and ask her father to bring her over to play."
Hearing this, Hua Mian quickly took the letter that Beiqi was writing.
"Uncle, what are you doing, give it back to me."
Hua Yan looked at this 'letter' seriously. Although Beiqi is still young, he is indeed a good handwriter, and his ability to write is also very good, and he writes everything along the way very clearly, and even the direction of this small courtyard is also written clearly. Hua Yan didn't care about Beiqi, who was lying on his stomach and thinking about scrambling, and directly folded the letter and stuffed it into his arms.
"Uncle, give me back the letter, give it back to me."
"You can, as my lord said, we can't tell anyone about our stay here for the time being."
Hua Yan was expressionless and gently pushed to a place a certain distance from him, and he rushed forward with his teeth and claws, but he couldn't reach him.
"It's grandpa who said it's okay, grandpa said it's okay, grandpa said that after we settle down, we can call the little princess Qixin to come to our house to play, grandpa said yes, grandpa said yes."
No matter how Northern Qi struggles, the flower face just doesn't move. The Seven Girls didn't care when they passed by, but she thought of the way she had come before, and in that carriage, Beiqi was also like this, begging Gong Zhu to tell the end of the story.
"And then grandpa? Did the woman give birth to the child? And then where did it go? ”
Gong Zhu smiled,
"Hey, we've arrived unconsciously, Beiqi, get off the carriage and take a look at our new home."
The seventh girl couldn't imagine that if the carriage didn't just arrive at the place, how would Gong Zhu give the Northern Qi general the story behind. But now, Beiqi doesn't ask about the ending of that story, and writes a letter to the little princess of Qixin.
Beiqi was still fighting against Hua Mian with his weak strength, but at this time, there was a knock on the door.
Hua Mian grabbed Bei Qi's wrist and put her finger against his mouth to signal him not to make a sound, and the seven girls also came out of the room and looked at Hua Mian.
Hua Mian carried Beiqi into the house, signaled the seventh girl not to move, jumped on the roof, and jumped down again after a while.
"It's a woman, Seventh Girl, go and have a look."
The Seventh Girl nodded, wiped her hands, and went to open the door. Standing in the doorway was a short girl, who didn't look very old, but was dressed as a married woman.
"Excuse me, is this Boss Guan's residence?"
The seventh girl didn't nod or shake her head, just looked the girl up and down. The girl seemed to be a little nervous, looking left and right, and saw that the seventh girl did not answer her, but looked her up and down, and became more uneasy.
"I, I'm Chang, ah, no, I'm here to deliver this letter to Boss Guan."
As she spoke, the girl took out a letter from her sleeve, and the envelope read, 'Boss Guan personally opened. ’
The seventh girl took the letter, and the girl immediately turned around and walked away. The seventh girl looked at the letter in her hand suspiciously and closed the door.
The seventh girl returned to the courtyard, and the mother-in-law of Chunfu also came out.
"How about Xiao Qi? Who is it? ”
The seventh girl, Yaoyao, took the letter in her hand to Granny Chunfu to see.
Chunfu's mother-in-law didn't know who sent the letter, so she had to put it aside and wait for Gongzhu to come back in the evening to read it. Then, a qiē changed back to its original form.
Boss Zhang accompanied Gong Zhu to meet some stores related to the prince of Yongchang, and sat down to eat and drink tea in many places where Gong Zhu still had some impressions. Gong Zhu was very satisfied with the formation of the past few days, and listening to the news of the people around him, he more or less figured out the current situation. Don't look at the people sitting on the street drinking and eating tea, just some ordinary people, but after all, they are people who live at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and their ability to observe words and colors is very strong.
In the past few days, they only rely on the pedestrians on the street to know that the arrogance of the Yanlan family came out of the palace a few days ago a little late, presumably Lord Yanlan had dinner at the queen's place again, and the casual team was accompanied by war horses, it should be the eldest son of the Yanlan family, General Yanlan, and his father had a family banquet with the queen. According to the usual rules, in a few days, some new moths will come out of the tea court.
"Okay, Boss Guan, let's go back today, we're going far, I'm afraid it will take some time when we come out."
"yes, okay."
Gong Zhu listened to an old man on the side of the street and listened to the story, and he didn't notice that the sky had already been pressed.
Waiting for the carriage to go back, Boss Zhang asked,
"Why is Boss Guan so engrossed? And with a happy face? ”
Gong Zhu smiled,
"Haha, I'm really fascinated by listening today. I just think it's a little interesting. ”
"Something interesting?"
"Some of the stories told by the storyteller are true."
Boss Zhang was a little surprised to hear Gong Zhu say this, you know, nothing in the palace is allowed to be passed on, how can a storyteller in tattered clothes know about the things in the deep palace. Gong Zhu saw Boss Zhang's expression,
"That's true, especially about what happened between the harems, but Boss Zhang didn't think that this storyteller seemed to be trying to tell a story, but he was actually taking sides?"
"This,"
"The storyteller is obviously biased in favor of the queen. It is a well-known thing that the queen mother of the Northern Qi Kingdom is arrogant and domineering, and the cruelty of the emperor's heir, but when it comes to the mouth of this storyteller, it seems that the queen's character development and behavior are excusable. ”
Boss Zhang thought about it carefully, and it was indeed the case. In the mouth of the storyteller, the queen who kills innocents indiscriminately seems to have become a deep palace woman who loves her husband too much.
Boss Zhang thought so, the carriage had arrived.
Gong Zhu entered his room, and Granny Chunfu immediately came over and gave him a letter.
"It was sent by a girl during the day."
"Oh?"
Gong Zhu opened the letter, and his expression became relaxed. Said to the nervous Chunfu mother-in-law,
"Don't worry, it's Chang Gui's letter."
"Chang Gui? What did Chang Gui say? ”
"Chang Gui said, come and see us tomorrow night."
