174, Gu family
Xu Xiaole soon discovered that Luo Yun was just a bright pile placed by his side, and there was another hidden pile dressed as a sugar gourd seller, wandering all day long on the road from Changchun Hall to Guangfuqiao Wharf. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In addition to these light and dark agents who are staring at the major pharmacies, there are also people who are combined with the inspection department, the official officer, and the brocade guard, who search for strangers from door to door in various neighborhoods, especially asking neighbors to report new residents and injured people.
The entire city of Suzhou is not allowed to enter or exit, and even the water gates everywhere have been semi-closed.
On the way to the Gu family's mansion with Xu Xiaole and Luo Yun, Gu Xuan saw many small boats fishing garbage in the river, so he was puzzled and asked, "What are they fishing?" ”
Luo Yun replied without any scheming: "Those thieves can't buy medicine, can't afford to hire a doctor, and they will definitely die." In this weather, if the corpse is not disposed of, it will definitely stink. Now the corpses are being salvaged on the surface of the river, and from the location of the sunken corpses, you can roughly guess their location. ”
When Xu Xiaole heard this, he said secretly: The government is really not stupid, I don't know what Zhang Daer will do with that corpse. Alas, hope did not sink the river.
When he saw Zhang Da'er's magnanimity, he knew that this case was too big, and couldn't help asking: "Xiaoyun, what did these thieves do to hurt the heavens and reason, and they were able to fight the official army?" ”
Luo Yun scratched his head: "I really don't know this, it's just that the pressure from above is too fierce." I heard that Beijing is going to send a commander to come over. ”
Gu Xuan shouted first: "Such a big official! ”
Luo Yun nodded.
Xu Xiaole said deliberately: "Didn't you say that there was only one bandit last time?" ”
Unlike Xu Xiaole, Luo Yun didn't know that He Shaoyang was the suspect at all. He said, "This bandit is so clever that he can always trick others into doing evil to him. Once it was critical, he slipped away first. Even if the accomplices were caught, they would not be able to tell any useful information. ”
Xu Xiaole said secretly: Uncle He is really capable. If it finds me on the head, I will definitely not know anything.
The three of them walked around and chatted, and stopped along the way to chat with a few strangers about the case, and sure enough, everyone in Suzhou knew about it. It's just that many rumors in the market are unreliable, for example, some people say that this bandit robbed the treasury. What a joke, is the treasury so easy to grab?
Xu Xiaole naturally didn't believe this, but he heard the man say that now the government has buried hidden piles in various dumping shops. If someone dumps gold or silver, he must take it back and torture it. Xu Xiaole immediately pinched a cold sweat, the two ingots of gold under his bed could not easily see the light.
Although the government is moving, the people still like to see it, and there is no entertainment in the first place, but now there is a lot to talk about.
Gu Xuan took Xu Xiaole to the Gu family's mansion, and he found an excuse to leave. Although he is a relative of the Gu family, he is not able to enter and exit casually. Now I don't have a strong gift in my hand, and I don't dare to see Aunt Changfang easily, so I just hand over Xu Xiaole to the servants at home.
The Gu family is higher than the Zhou family in terms of officials, and the house occupies the entire neighborhood one after another, with more than 50 acres. Adhering to the purpose of low-key luxury, entering from the main entrance through the foyer, sedan hall, guest hall, and main hall is completely no different from ordinary large households, but it is quite identifiable in the subtleties.
For example, on the wall of a sedan hall, there is a pair of words hanging inconspicuously, which is the authentic handwriting of Song Lian, a famous family of the national dynasty.
For another example, the screen of the guest hall is painted with a copy of Zhao Mengfu's landscape, but if you look closely, it is a delicate Suzhou embroidery with a silk thread split into sixteen strands.
As for the legendary beautiful and exquisite gardens, there are only four houses in front, which correspond to the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter. The inner house, which is not accessible to outsiders, is more delicate and beautiful than the front yard, and the number is four times that of the front.
The ancestor of the Gu family took a granddaughter to live in the backyard, and the five sons were already married, so they lived in the four gardens in the front yard, and only entered the inner house in the morning and dusk every day. Their wives can enter at will, especially the daughters-in-law of the long house and the daughter-in-law of the third room, because their husbands are officials outside, and they basically live in the inner house and do not go out.
Xu Xiaole had already heard Gu Xuan talk about the rules of these big families on the road, and there were only two words in his heart: boring!
Ping Kejia has been waiting at the second gate for a long time. She didn't have orders and couldn't go out on weekdays, but today she specially asked for an envoy from her ancestor to be responsible for receiving Xu Xiaole, and she was happy in her heart. Until she saw Luo Yun, she craned her neck slightly, and she couldn't speak.
Xu Xiaole was also very happy to see Ping Kejia, and shouted, "Sister Ping, it turned out that you came to take us." ”
Ping Kejia came back to his senses and said, "You can come in, but this ...... I'm afraid it's inconvenient. ”
Xu Xiaole said: "He looks tall, but he is actually not very old. ”
Ping Kejia's head shook into a rattle and said, "This, he is taller than ordinary adult men, how can he enter the backyard?" Doctor Xiao Xu can't be a joke about this. ”
Xu Xiaole was embarrassed: "He is a good partner who I have played since I was a child. If he can't go in, then I won't go in either, so I'll tell you to come out. ”
Luo Yun said: "I was ordered to protect Xiaole, so naturally I can't stay outside of him." ”
Ping Kejia was even more embarrassed, and said, "Xiaole, in addition to seeing Brother Bao, you also have to meet the ancestor." Brother Bao can call him out, can the ancestor also come out to see you? ”
Xu Xiaole asked, "Is the ancestor unwell?" ”
Ping Kejia was stunned for a moment, and then lowered his voice and said, "Doctor Xu, you really don't understand anything?" Being able to meet an ancestor is worth ten years of hard work. ”
Xu Xiaole calculated in his heart and said, "Seeing an old ancestor can withstand my ten years of hard work?" I can always earn a hundred taels of silver a year, and ten years is a thousand taels. Wouldn't it be better to give me the money directly? ”
Ping Kejia gently stroked his forehead with his hand: "Doctor Xu, you really don't know anything except medical skills." ”
Luo Yun lightly touched Xu Xiaole's elbow: "Xiaole, I think what this sister means: Meeting an old ancestor will be of great benefit to your future." ”
Xu Xiaole glanced at Luo Yun and said, "You can hear it, do you think I can't understand it?" I just disdain. ”
Ping Kejia almost came up to cover Xu Xiaole's mouth, and there were two healthy women guarding the second gatehouse, if they spread this, I really don't know how much trouble it will bring.
Xu Xiaole had lost the excitement he had before, so he said, "Sister Ping, either I'll see Brother Bao outside, or I'll go in with my friends to see the ancestor." I know you're for me, but I eat by my own craft and don't need to be appreciated. ”
Ping Kejia was ashamed and angry, her face was flushed, so she had to say, "You wait, I'll go in and ask." ”
As soon as Ping Kejia turned around and left, Luo Yun pulled Xu Xiaole to the side and said in a low voice: "Xiaole, you are so righteous!" ”
Xu Xiaole said: "We will not abandon the sword mountain and the sea of fire, not to mention such a small threshold in front of us!" ”
Luo Yun trembled excitedly, eager to give his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys to Xu Xiaole.
Xu Xiaole secretly said in his heart: Hmph, you don't want me in the matter of the pharmacy ambassador, but Zhao Gongzi is still helping. Now it's time to give me a future, coax the child!
