Chapter 109: Eat melons and eat them to your own home
"There are too many people, don't run around." Rong Zhao stared at Gu Yusheng who was drilling into the crowd with good eyes, and faintly felt that he couldn't control this overly active girl.
He regretted that he had promised her to come and see the fun.
"It's fine." Gu Yusheng saw that Rong Zhao couldn't keep up with him, so he stretched out his hand and pulled his sleeve, and ran forward, "You just don't want to run away." ”
Rong Zhao looked at her, feeling subtle, and always felt that she was still the little girl who could only pull the corners of his sleeves when she dragged herself to run. However, she has grown tall enough to be able to reach herself.
It's just that since they can all arrive, why don't you just hold his hand, don't be so reserved, he is not a gentleman.
So, Rong Zhao made a backhand and wrapped Gu Yusheng's little hand in his big palm. Gu Yusheng was stunned for a moment, stopped, and looked back at him hesitantly. The man was afraid that she would refuse, so he pretended not to see it.
Gu Yusheng snorted, didn't say anything more, and concentrated on watching the excitement.
"Who is down there, and what is the report?"
Kneeling below was a woman, dressed in a coarse cloth garment with patches, in the simplest of women's buns, with rough skin and calloused hands, like a peasant woman. And this peasant woman was crying out with tears in her eyes.
"The people's woman Lu has grievances to speak."
"Why do you want to be wronged?" The county magistrate asked reluctantly.
These peasant women, who don't know a single word, always beat the drum for some trivial things, so that the neighbors know about it. At the foot of the imperial city, it is always difficult for him to sit idly by, in case there is really something important, and he is a ginseng, and the black gauze hat on his head will be difficult to protect.
"The husband of the migrant woman has not returned home for five days!"
Hearing this, the county official ridiculed even more dissatisfiedly: "Man, if you don't return home for five days, it may not be that something happened." You go to the land of fireworks to look for it, maybe he is looking for flowers and willows, chic and happy. ”
"Your Excellency!" The woman bowed her head and slammed her head on the ground, "My husband is not that kind of person! The woman has several acres of land at home, he works and runs at home every day, and he never goes home for so long, he must have had an accident, he must have done something to my husband! Adult, please help the people's women, the people's women have a child at home, and they must not lose their backbone! ”
"What does your husband's disappearance have to do with Zhuang Tou?" The county magistrate stroked his mustache and asked, "Which Zhuangzi are you?" ”
"The woman is from Nanping Haifengzhuang." The woman wiped her tears and choked up, "Haifeng Zhuang's head Hai Dafu, who deducts our wages on weekdays, conceals tenants and does not report them, and now he has raised taxes, which is simply forcing people to death, which is really black-hearted." My husband was also called by him and disappeared! My lord, you must be aware of the grievances of the people's daughters. ”
The county magistrate waved his hand impatiently: "How do I know that you didn't deliberately find such an excuse to avoid paying taxes?" ”
The woman kowtowed a few more times, crying and saying, "My lord, what the women said is true. The women have already sued the imperial city, but they still can't redress their grievances, is there really fairness in this world! ”
The pear blossoms that the woman cried brought rain, and I felt pity. The people watching the excitement couldn't bear to whisper.
"My lord, if you don't believe me, the woman will die here today!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, the county official hurriedly stopped: "Don't be excited!" The official will find out what your husband's surname is, and the official will check it. ”
"My son's name is Gu Yanlin."
Gu Yusheng was stunned for a moment, and with a force in his hand, Rong Zhao snorted painfully, this girl's hand strength is not small.
Rong Zhao looked at Gu Yusheng and asked, "Ah Sheng, what's wrong with you?" ”
Gu Yusheng looked at him in a daze, as if he hadn't come back to his senses, but his mouth had already reacted before his brain: "Ah Zhao, you help her!" ”
"Why did you suddenly ask me to help her?"
"I... I can't say right now. Gu Yusheng frowned, but just urged him, "I'll tell you when I come back, you help her first." ”
Rong Zhao nodded, and did not forget to tease: "Then you owe me a personal favor." ”
"It's okay to pay you back a hundred!"
Rong Zhao walked through the crowd and stood in front of the steps, although he was stopped by the officials, he still had a graceful and luxurious aura.
"Who!"
Rong Zhao was silent, revealing the token on his waist, and the county official squinted at it, and then knelt in front of Rong Zhao tremblingly.
Rong Zhao whispered something to the county official, Gu Yusheng didn't hear it, but not long after, Rong Zhao walked out with the Liu family. Seeing this, the officials also followed behind and began to drive the crowd away.
Gu Yusheng hurriedly came over, his eyes fell on the woman and looked back and forth.
The Liu family gave Rong Zhao a salute first, and choked up: "Thank you, Your Highness, the people's daughter can't be repaid..."
Rong Zhao snorted: "This palace is just entrusted by others. ”
Liu Shi looked at the little girl on the side, Liu Shi felt that she had never seen this child before, why did she take the initiative to help herself, who is it, and she can still make the current second prince.
Gu Yusheng didn't know what to say, so he said, "There are a lot of people here, let's go back to the shop first, and talk while walking." ”
Rong Zhao was only responsible for following, and Gu Yusheng hesitated and said, "You..."
Liu said: "Thank you little girl, but I don't know why the girl helped me?" ”
"I..."
"If there is something unspeakable, it is inconvenient to tell each other." Liu's thoughtful way.
"Not really." Gu Yusheng's fingers unconsciously stirred the corners of her skirt, and Rong Zhao saw that she was nervous and didn't know how to speak, so she simply held her hand directly, but the little girl seemed to be even more nervous.
"You..."Gu Yusheng almost bit his tongue as soon as he opened his mouth, "You just said your husband, what is his name." ”
"Gu Yanlin."
Rong Zhao looked stunned, he didn't hear it clearly just now, but now when he heard it, he also found that something was wrong. There are not many people with the surname Gu, and in Nanping, the surname Gu can be regarded as a big surname.
Nanping Gu family.
Gu Yusheng trembled and asked, "Yes... Gu Fu's Gu Mansion..."
Liu Shi looked at Gu Yusheng again, and his tone of voice suddenly panicked: "What Gu Mansion, I don't know what Gu Mansion." Thanks to the girl for helping to relieve the siege, the woman still has something to do, so she left first. ”
After that, he didn't wait for Gu Yusheng to react, he was blessed with a blessed body, and then fled and left.
Gu Yusheng didn't stop her, just stayed where she was. Rong Zhao asked, "What's wrong with you, that peasant woman, has something to do with you?" ”
Gu Yusheng nodded and said, "She said that her husband's name is Gu Yanlin. My third uncle is also called Gu Yanlin. If you're not mistaken, it's the same person. ”
"Why isn't your third uncle in the Gu Mansion, her appearance is enough to see that she is not doing well."
"Actually, when I remember, my third uncle was no longer in the Gu Mansion." Gu Yusheng said, "But I heard from the people in the house that the third uncle was beaten out with a stick by his grandmother." Because the third uncle lingered in Fireworks Willow Lane all day long, he even hired Qinglou Oiran as his wife. Grandmother said, I can't tolerate such a woman in my Gu Mansion. The third uncle didn't listen, and was kicked out of the Gu Mansion by his grandmother. ”
"The farmer is running at both ends, this is not like your third uncle who wanders around fireworks and willow lane."
Gu Yusheng glared at him: "What's wrong with lingering in Fireworks Willow Lane, maybe my third uncle is not that kind of person, but a loyal person." Otherwise, why be kicked out of the Gu Mansion. ”
Maybe it's really just loyal to one person, but that person was born a Qinglou woman, and for that person, she was willing to give up this solid family background and start from scratch again.
"And what do you want?"
Gu Yusheng said: "After all, it is a member of the Gu family, if the third uncle really has an accident, I believe that Daddy will not sit idly by." And she said that she still has children to raise at home, and she can't let her be alone, so she has to help her. ”
Rong Zhao nodded.
"I'm going back and tell Daddy!"
"Let's go back to the shop first." Rong Zhao grabbed Gu Yusheng, "Don't worry about this matter, leave it to me." This kind of thing happened at this time, but it's a coincidence, don't wade into this troubled water. ”
Gu Yusheng tilted his head to look at him, and Rong Zhao smiled: "Trust me." ”
Gu Yusheng nodded compromisedly and followed Rong Zhao back to the shop.
"Where have you been, I've been waiting here for two hours." Qin Shujin leaned on the door frame and said with his arms around him.
Gu Yusheng reacted suddenly, and hurriedly said apologetically: "I'm sorry! I haven't started cooking yet, you wait for me. ”
Qin Shujin said: "Don't be busy, I just came to tell you that the general is not in the mansion today, so there is no need to prepare food." ”
"How..."
Qin Shujin held his hand and said, "I don't know, when I have to prepare food, I'll come to you again." ”
