Chapter 118: A Chance Encounter
When Master Tong received the letter of appointment and dismissal, he couldn't believe his eyes. Choosing a day to enter Beijing?
"What does this mean, sir? Lang Zhong ......, but he is only the official position of Zhengwupin, this is a demotion for you. "Second Mrs. Tong doesn't care about the unhappiness with Master Tong before, and she thinks about it very seriously.
"You know what? Is it so easy to do it? This is the light descending and the darkness rising, but for what? How did this end up on my head? ”
The news that Master Tong was going to enter Beijing set off a storm in the officialdom of Youzhou, and sure enough, if it was not a sound, it was already a blockbuster, and colleagues congratulated one after another, but those who knew about it asked Master Tong for advice through wine after three or five drinks: "Brother Tong, how did you get on the line of Andinghou?" ”
Master Tong immediately came to his senses, is he actually a stable marquis? I originally planned to go on this road, but I didn't go on, but I didn't expect it to play a role?
Back in the house, Master Tong thought about it and felt that there must be something wrong inside, but he would not let go of this opportunity, and everything would be said until he entered Beijing.
And the second wife of Tong felt that the sky was helping her, and when she arrived in the capital and was close to the Gu Mansion, could Beibei and Gu Fei's marriage still run?
************************************
Su Nian experienced a painful long journey, and finally arrived at his destination, the capital, in his last breath.
The magnificent atmosphere, Su Nian felt that although it was ancient, it still couldn't hide the solemnity and prosperity in it!
"Vomit ......" is no longer good, no matter how solemn and prosperous she is, she can't divert her attention. It's only two months old, and she originally had a smooth and fair little face with a little baby fat. Suddenly turned into a pointed chin, and his face turned pale and transparent.
I can't eat anything all day. Su Nian forced himself to eat as much as he could, and then before he could digest it, he would vomit it out.
I'm a dog! Make a mark along the way!
Su Nian roared in her heart, but she couldn't control this physiological reaction.
shook his hand and pricked himself with two stitches, and Su Nian relied on this will to survive.
"It's ......, it's miserable." Gu Fei stood aside, eating well, sleeping well, having fun and being full of energy along the way. It can't be compared with Su Nian.
Rinsing her mouth with water, Su Nian wiped her mouth with a silk handkerchief while shooting with her eyes, fortunately it was here, and if she was a little longer, she really couldn't hold on.
The gates of the capital are heavily guarded, and they need to be checked when entering and exiting, so not everyone can enter casually.
Originally, I was worried about whether I needed any certification procedures, but I saw Gu Fei take out something from his arms. Then they were respectfully invited in.
Therefore, there are still benefits to having an identity.
Su Nian had never imagined what the ancient capital was like, and she thought it should be nothing, but now she found out. I thought it wrong.
Standing at the gate that had just entered the city gate, Su Nian's vision suddenly spread outward, in front of her. Wide roads stretch in a staggered way, lined with quaint buildings. The carved railings and paintings are scattered.
On both sides of the street, there are lively crowds of people, shouting and shouting one after another. Most of the people on the street are dressed in new styles of clothing, comb their hair in a chic style, and look much more beautiful than the people in small places.
This is the ...... of the capital, the place that countless aspiring people yearn for, it represents success, it represents the powerful, like all people who have just arrived in the capital, Su Nian and others stood in place for a long time.
There are Gu Fei who are accustomed to it, there are Xiaocui and Qiao'er who are so shocked that they can't speak, there are Xuan Yi and Wei Xi who don't have much emotional fluctuations, and naturally there are Su Nian who silently calculate whether their money is enough to live here, and then feel sad that they have to work hard to make money again.
"Let's go, let's find a place for you first, my family has a courtyard where no one lives, you can go there and settle down first, first explain that the inn here in the capital is very expensive." Gu Fei beckoned everyone to come with him, Su Nian wanted to refute, but when he heard the latter sentence, he shut up directly, the inn is very expensive! Can they rent a yard......
Gu Fei didn't open his mouth and let everyone live in his house, which made Su Nian a lot easier, if it was a yard where no one lived, it didn't hurt to borrow it for a few nights, there was a place to stay, and they could find a place to live with peace of mind.
The courtyard that Gu Fei took them to was really quiet, only an old man guarding the door, who was a little excited after seeing Gu Fei, and then hurriedly opened the courtyard door.
The small yard is very clean, the pattern is also very good, it is rare that everything in it is complete, even the cover is brand new.
Su Nian was already too tired to do so, and she had been jolting on the carriage all day, and she still felt that the ground she was stepping on was still jolting, and she couldn't help but want to climb up when she saw the comfortable bed.
Outside, the old man guarding the door learned that these people needed to live here temporarily, but a look of embarrassment appeared on his face: "Young master, this ...... Something is wrong, but I can't hide it, this yard has been sold by Madame, and it is all freshly cleaned up, and this new owner will come soon......"
"Sold?" Gu Fei was a little shocked, how could he say that he would sell it? Although there are no people living in this courtyard, because of the good terrain, Gu Fu has not even been willing to rent, but has been taking care of it for a long time.
"Yes, young master, it was just sold, and Madame is also reluctant, and someone will come to sign the deed in a while." The old man guarding the gate has been guarding the door here for many years, and now he is leaving, and it is also a while.
Gu Fei's brows furrowed, her mother was reluctant, but she had to sell it, what does this mean? Although this courtyard in the Gu Mansion is good, it is not unique, and it is unlikely that the powerful people forced them to sell it.
Gu Fei turned his head to look at Su Nian, who was sitting down on a chair to rest instead of throwing himself on the bed, and turned his head back, "Uncle Wang, do you know who bought the yard?" ”
Uncle Wang shook his head, where did he know this, Mrs. just told him that he was sold, and he was not needed here.
Although Gu Fu arranged other idle work for him, it was not so easy to let go of the bonds of so many years.
Gu Fei took a deep breath, "Okay, someone will come to sign the deed in a while, right?" I'd like to see who is so capable that they can buy my yard away. ”
"Yo, the young man's tone is not small, I bought it, what's wrong!"
As soon as Gu Fei's words fell, he heard a neutral voice next to him, and when he turned his head, there was another old man, blowing his beard and staring at him.
"Old man, are you going to buy my yard?" Gu Fei was not stirred by the old man's tone, but asked in a calm voice.
"It's not that I want to buy it, it's that I have already bought it! I'm here to sign the deed now, and I've brought the money! ”
The old man took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, this courtyard is not cheap! Although Gu Fei didn't know where the old man was and where he came from, one thing was certain, he must be very rich.
But Gu Fei still didn't give up, "Old man, there is not only one courtyard in my house in the capital, there are many similar ones, can you see if you can change one?" I promise, if it's beyond that price, I'll make it up for you. ”
The old man snorted coldly, "I still have a fancy here, besides, your Gu family has already agreed to sell it to me, and I said it was good, what?" Want to regret it now? ”
Gu Fei really wants to regret it, this yard is like his secret base, from childhood to adulthood, but if he has any good things, he will hide here first, in this yard, I don't know how many "treasures" are hidden for him but forgotten, now he says that he will sell it, how can he not lose it?
But Gu Fei's attitude has always been impeccable, people want to buy a yard, and his mother also agreed, he can't do anything other than euphemistic discussion.
But Su Nian in the courtyard couldn't wait, the old man's voice was really too familiar......
"Master! You talk first, and I'll sleep for a while. Su Nian roared through the courtyard with her most stubborn mental head, and hurried into the house, not coming out.
Liu Lao was stunned for a moment, he heard Su Nian's voice, Su Nian was inside?
Immediately didn't care about setting up a score in front of Gu Fei, Liu Lao stepped in three steps and two steps, saw Xuan Yi and Wei Xi, and looked at each other.
"How are you? How do you know about this place? Hey, the little girl's news is too well-informed. Liu Lao was no longer the yin and yang weird that he had just outside, he only felt surprised.
After Su Nian decided to come to the capital, he wrote a letter to Liu Lao, asking Gu Fei to help send it, and inform the master that they were also going to the capital.
Liu Lao actually received the letter not long ago, and when he saw that the little apprentice was going to come to him, although Su Nian didn't write like this, Liu Lao felt that he had a great responsibility, and the little girl had never seen anything in the world at first glance, and it was his responsibility to make her feel at home......
So, Liu Lao began to show them in the city where they would settle down.
Knowing that his apprentice likes to be quiet, Liu Lao took a look around the city, and he took a fancy to this courtyard, and when he inquired, it was the courtyard of the cabinet scholar Gu Mansion.
It's rare that he wants to do something for his apprentice, of course Liu Lao wants the best, and he doesn't want to change it if he likes it, so he goes directly to the door and hopes that someone will sell him the yard.
This Liu Lao was not ambiguous, and directly reported his identity registration number, and he was still thinking about whether to find a few officials with good relationships to exert some pressure.
As a result, Master Gu was very reasonable, even if they were reluctant, they still gave Liu Lao this face.
If you eat whole grains, where can you ensure that you don't get sick? gave the doctor a face, and if there is something to ask for in the future, it is better to open his mouth.
"This is really a coincidence......", Liu Lao touched his beard, sighed uncontrollably, and turned his head to glance at Gu Fei, "It's the Gu family boy, right?" Not bad. ”
What does this mean well, Gu Fei has no way to judge, but forget it, he originally planned to let Su Nian live here, but now it can be regarded as crooked, and if he sells ......, he will sell it...... (To be continued......)
