Chapter 8: Encounters in the Teahouse
What does Yuan Jinpei do in the teahouse? It's not a good place to talk about things.
Seeing that these people went up to the second floor, the downstairs was noisy again, and the storyteller took a striking shot, and continued to tell the story of the martial arts master Xue Shan, and the teahouse resumed its previous liveliness.
"The uniform of the Celestial Guardian Division is really magnificent!"
"The refugees from the south said that the Nanban people used poison, and they didn't know if it was true or not."
"You know, I heard my brother-in-law say that he hasn't seen Gu Er in the gambling house for a few days."
"Ning Liang is waiting to wake up, Gu Er still dares to go to the gambling house? I'm in control. ”
……
……
Gu Qingchu peeled melon seeds, listened to the chatter and laughter of the people around him, and ate two peanuts from time to time and drank a sip of tea, and stayed with taste. The best place to listen to some gossip is the market teahouse, although some of the content may not be true, but sometimes you can find some useful news from it, and it is good to listen to it.
Mr. Storyteller suddenly quieted down again, it turned out to be a guard from the Tianwei Division upstairs who walked down and whispered to Mr. Storyteller, and then Mr. Storyteller got up and arched his hand in the direction of the second floor, then sat back and patted it eye-catchingly: "Thank you for the silver reward in the box, and then Xiao Lao'er will tell the big guy the wonderful story of Ning Lianghou, the ancestor of the Gu family in the song city!" ”
Gu Qingchu: ............
Probably this is eating melons and eating yourself.
"Speaking of Ning Lianghou, that is a legend, the only woman with rank in our Great Xia Dynasty......"
Listening to Mr. Storyteller tell about her, and then listening to the chatter of the people around him, Gu Qingchu found that he had an excellent reputation among the people of Chaoge, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was respected in the territory of Chaoge City.
This is obviously the show of Yuan Jinpei upstairs, what did this master do to listen to her story on a whim?
Upstairs, Yuan Jinpei sat on the railing, the window was wide open and facing the lobby to tell a story, and Gu Qingchu in the corner could be seen on the side.
He has always kept people to guard outside the Prince's Mansion, so he has such a appearance. At that time, Ning Lianghou was for the country and the people, a large part of which was because of the first emperor's appreciation, and even the first emperor successively called Gu Qingchu a friend who forgot about the year, which shows his importance and preference.
As the saying goes, once a son of heaven is a courtier, it is the current saint who ordered the copying of the Gu family, although the Gu family is at fault, but the people's hearts are unpredictable, who knows what will happen to Gu Qingchu? The rumored Ning Lianghou is not a tacit character.
Ning Lianghou's loyalty is very important, this is also what the little emperor explained when Yuan Jinpei came, the reason why Gu Nan supported the three princes at the beginning, the little emperor suspected that it was because Ning Lianghou liked the three princes quite a lot, so Gu Nan would be like this.
The three princes were imprisoned in the imperial tomb to guard filial piety, in case Ning Lianghou turned his head to help the three princes plan, it was a very headache. Before coming, the little emperor asked Yuan Jinpei to take a good look at Ning Lianghou and see if he was available.
Yuan Jinpei came to the Song City, not just to spread the word.
Gu Qingchu with a hat, Yuan Jinpei couldn't see her expression clearly, after hearing that the storyteller changed the story, the other party's movements were obviously stagnant, and as the storyteller talked about the excitement, Gu Qingchu also applauded.
An imperceptible smile flashed in Yuan Jinpei's eyes, and the legendary Ning Lianghou was really difficult to match the childish girl downstairs.
The content of Mr. Storyteller Gu Qingchu has memories in his mind, but after Mr. Storyteller's undulating and passionate tone, it makes people's blood boil unconsciously.
"Let's go to this small place in Song City, there are such powerful people, and I will be glorious."
"Isn't it, the last time I went to Shengjing, I told others that my hometown was in Chaoge, and they were all surprised to ask if there was Ning Lianghou's Chaoge, who was enthusiastic about me."
……
Gu Qingchu was a little touched when he heard this, even if he had been asleep for thirty years, the people of the Great Xia Dynasty had not forgotten Ning Lianghou.
After listening to the teahouse for a while, Gu Qingchu was a little reluctant to leave, she planned to go back to the house before the curfew after dark, and now she wanted to walk around, she wanted to experience the customs of Chaoge City in person.
Anything ancient was new to her. After staying in the mansion for so long, working hard to do rehabilitation exercises and cultivating internal strength, Gu Qingchu's body is almost the same as before the poisoning.
Otherwise, the jade bracelet will not be relieved this time, and it will definitely come out.
Although it is a small place, it is also a prosperous city, located in the center of the border between the north and the south, and occasionally caravans passing by will stop here.
Even in the afternoon, there was still an endless stream of people on both sides of the street, the main road was paved with stone roads, and the small vendors on both sides were hawking, passing by those jewelry gouaches Gu Qingchu was not interested, and walked to a wonton shop and sat down.
"Boss, let's have a bowl of wontons."
"Okay, you can wait a minute."
Even in summer, you can see the steaming heat coming from the cauldron, the crowd coming and going, carrying all kinds of bought objects in their hands, and the whole street is full of fireworks of life.
Gu Qingchu sighed in his heart, the boss sent a bowl of hot wontons, it was summer, the weather was slightly cloudy today, and the breeze was pleasant.
"Girl, can you share a table?" The boss came over and wiped the table with a clean rag and asked.
The stall is not like a big restaurant, he just sets a few tables along the street, and it is common to share the table, and the boss usually asks, and the guests will agree reasonably.
Gu Qingchu nodded and said okay, she didn't pay so much attention to eating wontons.
"Adults, come and sit here."
My lord? Gu Qingchu heard this title and looked at it, Yuan Jinpei didn't know when he came out of the teahouse, and also came to the wonton stall, Gu Qingchu secretly paid in his heart, sometimes there were too many coincidences on purpose.
Yuan Jinpei sat in the seat opposite Gu Qingchu, the four subordinates beside him sat at another table, Gu Qingchu lowered his head and ate the wontons, except for a glance just now, he didn't cast his eyes again, the wontons were on the table, and Yuan Jinpei ate quietly.
A bowl of ten wontons saw the bottom, Gu Qingchu wiped the corners of his mouth after eating and was about to pay the money, there was a noise next to him, and the bearded man chased a thin man, shouting while chasing: "Shameless boy, you dare to steal from your grandfather!" See that I don't kill you. ”
The two of them chased all the way, bumped into a lot of small vendors on the way, the thin man ran his arm back and forth, and smashed the big man with the things on the stall, and ran to Gu Qingchu's side, the thin man coincidentally stretched out his hand at her hat, and one hand had tightly grasped the curtain of the hat, and the next action was to pull the hat down and throw it to the big man.
