Chapter 16: Protect Him and Her
After Zhuge Hanqing and Puyang Gu Sheng walked out of the dilapidated house, they got into the carriage and began to return to the inn.
"I didn't expect that after decades, there are still people who miss my grandfather. I also didn't expect that when my grandfather was wronged, he thought that no one stood up to speak for him, but in fact, there was a person. Puyang Gu Sheng looked out the window and sighed.
Zhuge Hanqing looked at him with a relieved face and handed him the jade pendant in his hand.
"When did you come out with this jade pendant.... Where did you get that much money? Puyang Gu Sheng took the jade pendant from his hand and asked with doubts.
In fact, Zhuge Hanqing took off his mobile phone, because the mobile phone was turned on, although there was no network signal, but the music and camera functions could still be used normally, and the shopkeeper of the pawnshop thought it was a treasure, so he successfully exchanged it for a jade pendant, and had a surplus of five hundred taels of silver.
But at this moment, he couldn't tell the truth about it, so he had to make up an excuse randomly, "I inadvertently picked up a silver ticket of 1,000 taels in the teahouse private room in Xishengmen." Now that I have your jade pendant, I have five hundred taels of silver left in my hand. After speaking, he deliberately made a very happy expression.
Puyang Gu Sheng's eyes widened, he couldn't believe his ears, and he wondered: "You really didn't steal it, right?" ”
"Steal? You can afford my skills too much, hehe..."Zhuge Hanqing turned his face away and stroked his palms and laughed.
"Obediently, Brother Zhuge , your luck is too good, I am so old, and I have never picked up more than one tael of silver." Puyang Gu Sheng cast an envious gaze.
"Let's go, let's go to the market and buy more fish, meat, fruits and vegetables, in this way, Miss Murong can recover better." The wind outside the window was a little cold, and Zhuge Hanqing shuddered.
"That relationship is good, I can also touch Miss Murong's light." Puyang Gu Shengcan said with a smile.
An hour later, the two of them walked into the door of the inn with a large number of fruits, vegetables, fish and meat. Murong Xiaoyue was lying on the window of the attic on the third floor and happened to see this scene.
"How did you buy so many things, you haven't eaten them all last time?" Murong Xiaoyue said.
"It's okay, we can't eat it, we can put it in the ice cellar." Puyang Gu Sheng responded, "Anyway, what your big brother Zhuge has is silver. ”
"Really?" Murong Xiaoyue didn't quite believe his words.
But when Puyang Gu Sheng told her the ins and outs of the matter, she had to believe it, and gave Zhuge Hanqing a thumbs up again and again, and didn't forget to envy: "Brother Zhuge , if you go to that teahouse next time, take me with you, maybe I can also touch your good luck and pick up one or two hundred taels of silver." ”
"Hehe... Okay, okay, I'll take you with me, if we don't pick up the money, we'll lose the money, okay? Zhuge Hanqing shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"It's a word, I'll cook this time, my hands are fine, you see." Murong Xiaoyue moved her left wrist to show the two of them.
"Let's keep it for a few more days, steady and steady." Puyang Gu Sheng said seriously, as if he didn't give her any chance.
"Okay then..."Murong Xiaoyue pursed her lips, turned around and left, to enjoy the flowers and plants in the yard.
Zhuge Hanqing and Puyang Gu Sheng have a clear division of labor, one chops wood to boil water, and the other picks vegetables and cooks.
"Brother Zhuge , after Uncle Tangtai's suggestion, I believe you already have a clear answer in your heart, what are you going to do next?" Puyang Gu Sheng raised his head from the pyre and asked.
"Since Uncle Tantai has pointed out the clear way for us, we naturally won't give up easily, and next, we will meet this current third prince--- Pei Tianlang." Zhuge Hanqing's eyes were slightly awe-inspiring, and he said with a stern expression.
"Well, now that you've decided, I'll accompany you to the end." Puyang Gu Sheng's heart was full of passionate words.
"The world is not peaceful, tomorrow you should stay and take care of Miss Murong, I can go to Huai'an Mansion alone." Zhuge Hanqing said indifferently.
"Are you doing it alone? I'm afraid that you are weak and single, and you won't be able to enter the Huai'an Palace. Puyang Gu Sheng's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he said without worry.
"Don't worry, it's because I'm weak and I can't even hold a sword steadily, so it's easier for me to enter the palace. How can you be like you with a bearded face and a rough body, you are not good at first glance, who will the palace guards stop you from? The corners of Zhuge Hanqing's mouth rose and teased.
"Okay then." Although he said so, Puyang Gu Sheng still couldn't rest assured of him, and he secretly planned to follow him tomorrow.
Early the next morning, the sky had quietly fallen the first rain since the beginning of autumn, Zhuge Hanqing also got up early, put on a set of plain gray double-layer cardigans, stepped on clogs, wore a black curtain hat, sat in the carriage that had been waiting for a long time at the door of the inn, and went straight to the Huai'an Mansion in Donghua Gate, Qixia District, Yancheng.
When Zhuge Hanqing went out, Puyang Gu Sheng also called a carriage, and followed him far behind his carriage, and he was not the only one in the carriage, but also Murong Xiaoyue. Because he was worried about the safety of Zhuge Hanqing and Murong Xiaoyue, he had no choice but to take her with him, which was the best of both worlds.
"Brother Puyang, where are we going?" Murong Xiaoyue was woken up in her sleep, and she was drowsy at this time.
"Let's protect your big brother Zhuge , he is in the carriage in front." Puyang Gu Sheng pointed to the carriage in front of her and said to her.
"Where is he going alone?" Murong Xiaoyue was puzzled.
"He wants to break into Huai'an Mansion alone, he is here for himself, also for us, and for the sake of the world's miserable people will no longer be drenched in the rain. I'm worried about his safety, so I called you to work with me to protect him secretly, after all, trespassing into the palace, once you are caught, you can't just be beaten casually, and prison is very likely. ”
Hearing this, Murong Xiaoyue understood the cause and effect of the matter, and Fang Cai's sleepiness had long since disappeared, and the sword in his hand unconsciously tightened a little.
After two hours of travel, Zhuge Hanqing finally got off the carriage on the avenue in front of the Huai'an Palace, because there is a prince living in this area, so there are very few shops, only a few bookstores, and there are very few pedestrians. After Zhuge Hanqing got out of the carriage, the coachman drove the carriage and stopped under a red plane tree not far from the palace.
Zhuge Hanqing took a deep breath and calmly walked towards the main gate of Huai'an Palace, and before he stepped on the first step, the guards at the main gate had already yelled at him with cold words.
"Stop, who are you, take off your hat... Do you have a greeting post and a token?"
Zhuge Hanqing did so one by one, and took out the prayer post and token from the cuffs and waist respectively.
Puyang Gu Sheng, who was staying in the carriage in the distance, had abnormal ears, and he heard the words of the guards very clearly, and he was very surprised when he saw Zhuge Hanqing take out the prayer post and waist card. He just didn't expect that a scholar who was weak and weak would actually plan things well. It seems that he chose to follow him to Beijing at the beginning, and he was really sharp-eyed, maybe this will be the smartest choice he made in the first half of his life...
