What is even more surprising is that he is wearing clogs under his feet, and the clogs are finely made, and he does not wear them with the roughness of the peasants in the countryside, but shows the meaning of freedom and uninhibitedness.

Luo Huiniang was caught by the owner when she said bad things about the house, and hurriedly explained: "Uncle, don't get me wrong, this is all said by the townspeople, I don't know if it's true...... I didn't mean to say that your house was unlucky. ”

In my hometown, if you dare to say that other people's houses are haunted, you will be beaten.

Mr. Xia raised his head and smiled and said, "The little girl is simple and cute, not bad." ”

looked at Gu Jinli again and glanced at her: "You are not bad." ”

The eyebrows are calm and determined, the eyes are smart and vibrant, with the stability of an adult and the cleverness of a little girl, not bad.

"Hello Mr. Xia." Gu Jinli greeted Luo Huiniang and Mr. Xia.

Mr. Xia smiled and waved his hand, and said to them: "Come in and sit down, it's just that we just came, the house is chaotic, and no one entertains you, so you can play by yourself." ”

With that, he turned around and walked towards the front yard of the house.

"Okay." Luo Huiniang responded happily, pulling Gu Jinli to follow Mr. Xia, and Gu Jin'an closed the back door of the mountain and followed.

Gu Jinli asked him, "What about Uncle Shang?" ”

It was Shang Xiucai who accompanied Gu Jin'an to Jinling Mansion to find the Zheng family and Shangguan's family, and they should have come back together, but there was no trace of Shang Xiucai.

Gu Jin'an said: "In Jiang County's Wei's house, Aunt Shang and Yuan Yuan live in Jiang's house, Mr. just came back, Jiang's family kept him for two days, and it is estimated that he will come back the day after tomorrow." ”

The Jiang family has no sons, only one daughter, Yuan Yuan, Shang Xiucai is not at home, Mrs. Jiang is worried that it is not safe for her daughter to live in the countryside, so she takes their mother and daughter back to Jiang's house to live. And Gu Jin'an and the others arrived in the county seat yesterday, stayed at Jiang's house for one night, and left for Qingfu Town this morning.

Gu Jinli nodded after hearing this, looked at Mr. Xia's back with the sleeves of his robe flying and asked, "This Mr. Xia?" ”

Gu Jinan knew that she would ask, so he told him Mr. Xia's origin.

Mr. Xia's name is Xia Gu, the word is Changyuan, the number is Ding Gong, and he has been a guest to the Zheng family and the Shangguan family, and later left the two families and moved to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Jinling Mansion to live, where he lived for nearly ten years, and he was tired of it.

After the Zheng family and the Shangguan family got to Gu Jin'an, they knew that he lived in the countryside of Qingfu Town, so they followed him to settle here, planning to live for three or five years.

Gu Jinli frowned and asked, "So rashly decided to come and live for a few years?" ”

Gu Jinan said with a smile: "Mr. Xia is unruly, when he was young, he used to travel around Dachu, Darong, and even the neighboring countries in the east, and he once took a boat out of the offshore sea, and lived on the island for a period of time, he is a erratic person, he can go wherever he wants, moving to Qingfu Town to live for a few years, and integrating into the villagers in the market, it is his wish in recent years, nothing unusual." ”

But......

"Mr. Xia doesn't want outsiders to know his identity, just know it yourself, don't tell others Mr. Xia's details."

Mr. Xia came to the countryside to live an ordinary life, and did not want to receive too much attention, although he had already put away his madness and began to live in seclusion thirty years ago, but the things he did when he was young were too famous, if others knew, it was inevitable that there would be a stream of students.

Mr. Xia is a good-tempered person, he doesn't like to be an official, but he likes to take the imperial examination. All the way from Xiucai to the palace examination, when everyone was optimistic about him becoming the new champion, he handed in a blank paper in the palace examination, but the Great Chu Emperor was angry.

At that time, he was still the first emperor of Great Chu, and when he saw that the scholar with the highest voice had handed in a blank roll in the palace, he was so angry that he almost didn't kill him.

But the first emperor of Great Chu was a country in troubled times, and he was born in a soldier, and the wind of madmen prevailed in the previous dynasty, all of them were obedient and not afraid of death, and scolded the first emperor of Great Chu as a bloody dog, saying that he stole the master's country as a courtier, and he was a thief, and he should be cramped and peeled and then tortured to death by 3,000 knives!

He was born in the army, he was a bloodthirsty and reckless man, a vulgar soldier leader, and he became the lord of the country, and he would definitely ignore the lives of the people and let the blood of Dachu flow into a river.

When the first emperor of Great Chu was alive, he was scolded every day, and it was useless to kill a lot of literati and madmen, when you should scold your ancestors for eighteen generations, you still have to scold your ancestors for eighteen generations, the more you kill, the more they scold.

Later, some Wenchen advised the Emperor of Great Chu, saying that it was necessary to fight the country with iron and blood, but it was not possible to govern the country like this, and it was necessary to encircle the literati and madmen.

These literati and madmen, it is better for you to treat them with courtesy than to kill them, and these people are all educated by universities, and they can help govern the country if they keep them.

The first emperor of Great Chu didn't want to make a mistake in the country he had worked so hard to build, so he issued an order to treat all literati preferentially and treat them with courtesy, as long as they were not literati who committed murder, Great Chu would not kill.

Mr. Xia escaped because of this holy decree in the early years, and was not killed by the first emperor of Great Chu, but his Huiyuan fame was also stripped away, leaving only the fame of the people.

Mr. Xia didn't care at all, and when he left the capital, he was not afraid of death and said: "Official position is a shackle, Xia is only willing to be a person with free hands and feet, and it is not uncommon to be trapped in shackles." ”

The first emperor of Great Chu was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and he wanted to send someone to assassinate him, but after Mr. Xia left the capital, he went directly to the neighboring country in the east, where he lived for several years, and not long after he came back, the first emperor of Great Chu passed away.

After Gu Jinan finished saying this, he said: "Mr. Xia is here to repair the house first, and when the house is repaired, Mrs. Xia will come over." ”

Gu Jinli was shocked: "Mr. Xia actually has a daughter-in-law?" ”

This kind of person who starts looking for death after eating a full meal can actually marry a wife? What kind of woman would marry him?

Mr. Xia paused, turned his head and glared at Gu Jinli and said, "Xia is unparalleled in talent, how can he not marry a daughter-in-law?" Little girl, you are too underestimated. ”

Gu Jinli hurriedly smiled and said: "Mr. is right, if you are a bachelor with Mr.'s talent, it is simply intolerable." ”

Mr. Xia glanced at her, snorted, and turned to leave.

There are not many people brought by Mr. Xia, only ten, but they have excellent physique, words and deeds, and they are not worse than the masters of rich and noble families.

There are a few games that are still very stable, and they will be able to punch and kick at a glance.

They moved quickly, constantly carrying the boxes and cages brought by Mr. Xia, while Mr. Xia sat in the courtyard, while directing the subordinates: "Move these boxes of books to the study; Put the scroll in the room next to the study, don't open the box first, check the roof twice first, lest the autumn rain fall and damage my painting, and I will be angry. ”

He pointed to the courtyard of the Wan family and said: "The courtyard of Xiucai's house is like this, the bamboo outside this window is almost blocking the window, and what is going on with this stone pier in the middle?" There really is no beauty in the garden. ”

The layout of the garden has always paid attention to stacking mountains and rivers, planting and building camps, but the yard of ten thousand homes is not occupied, and it really hurts the eyes to look at it more.

Gu Jinli complained when he heard it: "Mr. Xia, we are in the countryside, it would be good to be able to plant flowers and plants at home, what you said, the countrymen don't understand." ”

With this kind of hypocritical work, isn't it fragrant to make money?

What about the good literati maniacs who are informal? I don't care about the bad luck of the house, but I dislike the poor layout of the house garden, do the countrymen build a house and invite a gardening master to decorate it? Wake up, this is not the capital!
