Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Tael of Gold
Green Calyx was on the side, and after listening to her words, she couldn't help but raise her head, look at her own miss, and then reached out to pick up the teacup, sniffed and said, "Slave, I'm not angry with Miss." ”
With that, she raised her hand, took a sip of tea, and then stretched out her hand again, grabbed a piece of pastry and ate it, and there was no more unpleasantness on her face.
Gu Ziqing sat opposite, watching her drink tea and eat pastries again, and knew that this girl was already well, and she was no longer angry with herself.
Thinking of this, Gu Ziqing picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then turned his head with a smile and began to watch the play.
After a while, the drama in the audience ended, the servants left the stage one after another, and the guests downstairs gradually became noisy.
At this time, the shopkeeper knocked on the door again and walked in, still holding the brocade box just now.
He stepped forward slowly, gave Gu Ziqing a deep salute, and then put the brocade box in his hand in front of her respectfully.
Gu Ziqing bowed slightly, then stretched out his hand and carefully opened the brocade box, which still lay quietly the piece of paper that Gu Ziqing had put in before.
When she looked closely, she found that the paper, although it looked the same as the one she had put in before, had different creases, it was the paper that had been put back in, and it was not the same as the one she had written.
After realizing this, Gu Ziqing reached out and gently took the piece of paper, then opened it, looking at the words on it, Gu Ziqing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
After a while, she closed the piece of paper, turned her head, looked at the shopkeeper and said, "I have heard of the Jieyulou, I do what I want, and the conditions offered are also strange. ”
"But on the note given to me, there is only one tael of gold, such a condition is too ordinary, right?
Jieyulou is actually a mysterious organization that exists in the rivers and lakes, his eyeliner and strongholds are all over the country, and every place will have teahouses, theaters, etc. named after "Jieyulou", and the stronghold of Jieyulou in the Jiangnan territory is this theater.
They mainly sell information for a living, if you want to know something, you can come here, write down the problem, put it in the box, and then someone will make an offer to you, but the offer is different, and it can even be described as strange.
According to the question you are asking, the Interpretation House will make an estimate, maybe the price is a piece of jade, maybe a tael of gold, or a human life, these are all possible.
If you think that you can give them the remuneration they specify, Xie Yulou will do it for you, what you have written, but if you have any objections to the remuneration, then this business is considered yellow.
Gu Ziqing helped her husband in the previous life, and when she was recruiting troops, she had checked this Jieyu Building, so in this life, she knew all the rules of the Jieyu Building, and came here to ask him for help.
It's just that these two golds, for a person like Gu Ziqing, who has a big business, is indeed nothing, and it is said that Xie Yulou is very powerful, how did she come here, and even the price is so low?
"Miss Gu, it's funny, of course this is the real Interpretation Building. The shopkeeper bowed slightly, "It's just that the question you just wrote on the note is too sparse and ordinary, and the people involved are not so famous, so the price is so low." ”
"But don't worry, it's definitely worth it. ”
Hearing this, Gu Ziqing couldn't help laughing, the question she had just written on the note was to find Liu Yanling's whereabouts.
Since that incident, Liu Yanling has been sent away by Liufu, and her whereabouts have been unknown, but in Gu Ziqing's heart, this is like a thorn, always there!
Because in the previous life, Liu Yanling had caused her a lot of trouble, so Gu Ziqing was afraid that this time he would repeat the mistakes of the past, so he would come to the Jieyu Building and spend money to buy Liu Yanling's news.
But he didn't expect that the shopkeeper would say such a thing, which was obviously saying that Liu Yanling was only worth one or two gold.
invisibly insulted him like this, which really made Gu Ziqing's heart feel a lot happier, and the smile on his face increased a lot.
Seeing that she didn't speak, but just laughed vigorously there, the shopkeeper was suddenly a little confused, "Miss, could it be that I said something wrong?"
Gu Ziqing shook his head, hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, on the contrary, what you said is extremely right, who am I going to give this tael of gold?"
"If Miss has it now, she will put it in this brocade box and take it down from the small one. The shopkeeper said respectfully.
Gu Ziqing nodded, took out a tael of gold from his purse, gently put it in the brocade box, then closed the lid, clapped his hands and said, "It's already good, I'll trouble you." ”
"Miss rest assured, even if this business is negotiated, when I transfer the remuneration to our landlord, three days later, someone will send a letter to the door to answer Miss's questions. The shopkeeper said to Gu Ziqing while holding the brocade box with both hands.
"Then there's work. Gu Ziqing bowed slightly, and then remembered something, so he asked, "I want to see your landlord, I don't know if it's convenient?"
In the last life, she had been investigating the secret behind the Jieyu Building, and wanted to let it be used by her husband Zhou Chengjin in the previous life, but there was no news, especially the owner of the Jieyu Building, and she couldn't find out the slightest trace.
Until her death, this secret could not be solved, which also became a big regret in Gu Ziqing's last life.
So just now she had a fluke mentality, and asked the shopkeeper, thinking that if she could meet the owner of the Jieyu Building, it would be the best, and if she could become friends with him, it would be better, and it was estimated that she would definitely not have to worry about anything in the future.
But I don't want to, after listening to her words, the shopkeeper shook his head, "Our landlord has been uncertain, even if it is the people inside the Jieyu Building, few people know where the landlord is, so if the young lady wants to see our landlord, I'm afraid it won't work." ”
Gu Ziqing nodded, and didn't say anything more, the sentence she just asked was just a fluke, and the answer of the shopkeeper was also what she expected.
If a mysterious person like the owner of the Interpretation Building deliberately hides, how can an ordinary shopkeeper know his whereabouts?
"Miss, if there is nothing else, the little one will retreat. The shopkeeper was on the side and said respectfully.
