Chapter 176: Thunder
The inn travels from south to north, and it is also the place with the most strange things.
I got up early, ordered a few servings of porridge and a few side dishes, sat by the window, saw Xiao Er coming, and beckoned to ask: "Little brother, do you have any fun in Pinglin Town?" ”
"Fun place?" The shopkeeper thought for a while and replied: "No, our Pinglin Town is very ordinary, there is nothing fun, but there is a Pinglin Lake, and the scenery is still worth seeing." ”
"Lake Hirabayashi?"
"Madam, look, this is out of the gate of our Fenglin Inn, go all the way to the south, see the tailor's shop turn right, and you can see the Pinglin Lake after drinking the porridge. It's said to be a lake, but it's not big, but the surrounding scenery is pleasant, and there are some shops selling small things around, where do the ladies and ladies in our town like to go. ”
"Is there anything unusual about this town of Hirabayashi?"
"If Madame had come half a month earlier, there would really be nothing unusual in our town." The shopkeeper hugged the tray: "But recently, there is indeed something quite strange." ”
"Tell me about it." Yan Suwen took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to the shopkeeper.
After receiving the money, the shopkeeper immediately changed his face and spoke in detail.
"There is a family surnamed Zhang on the edge of Pinglin Lake, and there are a total of four people in the family. Mrs. Zhang, Mr. and Mrs. Zhang, and the youngest daughter of the Zhang family. This Zhang couple, the man's name is Zhang Guangen, and the woman's name is Cui Ying'er. This woman is the lady Zhang Guangen married later, and his original lady died because of illness. This Zhang Guangen and the lady in front of him gave birth to a daughter, named Zhang Qiaoqiao, who just turned six years old this year, and was born smart and cute. This family of four originally lived in harmony and beauty, but it changed because of a thunderstorm. ”
"Thunder?"
"Yes, it's thunder." The shopkeeper sighed: "Speaking of which, Madam is afraid that she won't believe it, even the people in our town think this matter is too bizarre." ”
"What's the bizarre method?"
"This Zhang family is also doing business on the shore of Pinglin Lake, and has opened a small restaurant. There is only one thing that is sold in this restaurant, and that is fish. Because the Zhang family has an ancestral secret recipe for making fish, the business is very good, but anyone who goes to this Pinglin Lake has to go to his house to try it. It was Zhang Guangen's old mother who fished, and Zhang Guangen who fished. This fish, which is raised in the lake, is a kind of black fish unique to our Pinglin Town, the meat is delicious, whether it is used for cooking or soup, it is excellent.
On that day, Zhang Guangen, as usual, drove a small boat and took his daughter to fish on the lake. As a result, as soon as I reached the lake, I heard a thunderclap. It is also a common thing for this boat to be caught in thunder, Zhang Guangen did not take it to heart, but took his daughter to cast the fishing net.
Just when Zhang Guangen set up the net to catch fish, another thunder fell from the sky, followed by heavy rain. After the rain, everyone saw that the Zhang family's fishing boat had floated to the shore at some point. On the boat was a net of freshly caught black fish, large and small, apparently unselected. Zhang Guangen fell on the bow of the boat, bleeding from all his orifices, and he was no longer breathing. His daughter Zhang Qiaoqiao was lying in the stern of the boat, but she still had a breath to breathe, but after she woke up, she became mute, she could only listen and could not speak, and she was silent a lot.
People in this town spread that Zhang Guangen disrespected the god of thunder. This first thunder was to remind him to let him hold the boat back, and he didn't care about it, so he lost his life. ”
"Thunder kills?" Yan Suwen had a picture of being struck by lightning in his mind: "What did this Zhang Guangen look like when he died?" Is it scorched on the outside and tender on the inside by thunder and lightning? ”
"No, except for the bleeding of the seven orifices, it looks the same as usual. The big guys all said that Zhang Guangen was scared to death by Lei. The shopkeeper shook his head: "If Mrs. goes to Pinglin Lake, she might as well go to the Zhang family's restaurant to sit down and eat their fish." Alas, since Zhang Guangen was frightened to death by thunder, his family's life has become more and more sad. It's not easy for orphans and widows. ”
As soon as the shopkeeper left, Gu Changfeng walked down from the upstairs guest room.
Yan Suwen saw it, and hurriedly beckoned: "Yanqing, this way!" ”
"Madame seems to be pleased?" Gu Changfeng sat down, looked at the things on the table, and asked slightly between his eyebrows: "You just eat these?" ”
"Isn't it good?"
"It's too simple."
"You can't compare with home when you go out, but this porridge is good, Yanqing, you can taste it." Yan Suwen pushed a bowl of vegetable porridge to Gu Changfeng: "This is a special porridge from their Fenglin Inn, the ingredients used in it are all picked up in the morning, and the entrance is sweet, but it is very delicious." ”
Gu Changfeng took a sip, it was indeed the taste of fresh ingredients, but he didn't have much appetite when he got up early, and he only drank a few sips of this porridge. ”
"I just heard Mrs. talking to the shopkeeper, but what rare things have happened?"
"The ears of those of you who practice martial arts are good, and you can hear our whispered words." Yan Su asked with a glint in his eyes: "Yanqing, have you ever seen someone who was scared to death by thunder?" ”
"Scared to death by thunder?"
"Yes, it is scared to death by thunder, scared to death by the thunder that falls from the sky."
"No, I didn't." Gu Changfeng replied: "Wind, rain, thunder and lightning are often seen after people are born, and the sights they hear are so good, how can this person be scared to death by thunder." Unless this thunder, what's the difference. "I love
"That's what I thought too." Yan Suwen looked down at the porridge in front of him: "What kind of thunder is this, so that an adult man can be scared to death." ”
"Don't think about things you don't know, think too much, it's easy to hurt your brain." Gu Changfeng stroked Yan Su's hair: "Why don't you sleep for a while?" ”
"I'm used to getting up early, waking up at a certain time, and when I wake up, I can't stay on the couch. What about you, are you getting better with the cold? I listened, but I didn't cough much. ”
"Madame's medicine is very good."
"Then drink another bowl later, the medicine will be cured until the disease is gone, and we can continue on the road."
"Yes...... Don't drink it? ”
"Can't!" Yan Su asked the bowl of porridge in front of Gu Changfeng: "On the afternoon of hoeing day, sweat drops and hoeing, who knows that the Chinese food on the plate is hard work." Although you are a prime minister, you are not short of money, but you should not waste this food in vain. Besides, sick people eat on time and on time. If you don't have enough to eat, you will definitely get sick. ”
"No appetite."
"If you don't have an appetite, you have to eat, and one more bite counts."
"I said I don't have an appetite, why doesn't Madame ask me how I can have an appetite?"
"Okay, how can I have an appetite?"
"Why don't you feed me yourself, ma'am?" Gu Changfeng stared at her with burning eyes.
Yan Suwen looked left and right and asked, "Xiangye, are you serious?" This is in public, in case someone sees it and recognizes it, how can you still gain a foothold in the court. ”
"Can't you get a foothold in the court if you let your lady feed you porridge? Besides, from head to toe, where is it written that I am Gu Yanqing. ”
In other words, even if he is recognized, he can deny it. There are many similar people in this world, how can the other party be sure that he must be Gu Yanqing. Even if they knew it in their hearts, who would dare to ask him in the court. As for the private rumors, they are all gossip and are not enough to be believed.
Master Gu's crooked reasoning seemed to be reasonable, in order to let him eat a few more bites of food, Yan Suwen really picked up the porridge in front of him. She is a doctor, and she often does things like feeding people, and her husband doesn't mind, what does she care. Immediately, one feeds, one eats, and after a while, the bowl of porridge is at the bottom.
"Who knows that the Chinese food on the plate is hard work, and these porridges in front of Mrs. should not be wasted." Gu Changfeng stood up contentedly: "I have written down the causes and consequences of the killing of Nanyang Hou into an excerpt and handed it to Yun Fei to let him return to Beijing first to resume his life, as for you and me, you can live in this Fenglin Town for a few more days." If the lady wants to go, her husband can also accompany her. ”
"What about Miss Minglan?"
"Nanyang Mansion will handle it, and from now on, even if she enters Yecheng again, she won't be able to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"Do you want to tell your mother about this?"
Mother knew it in her heart. Besides, she never cared about these things. She likes Minglan , in addition to the fact that she is the young lady of the Ming family, but also because she was led into the Gu family by her father. I have a cold temperament and am not very accustomed to being close to people, but when I was a child, Minglan was just the opposite of me, when I first entered the house, I often pestered my father, and wherever my father went, she followed him. When her mother looked at her, she could remember many things from the past. It's not so much that her mother likes her, but that she can't let go of her father in her heart. ”
"He must have been a wonderful man, a wonderful father, a wonderful husband, and a wonderful friend."
"Yes, he is." Gu Changfeng lightly shook Yan Suwen's hand: "Let's drink porridge first, and I'll take you to Pinglin Lake later." ”
Lake Hirabayashi is indeed a place with excellent scenery, as the shop Xiaoer said. The surface of the lake is calm and the water is crystal clear, and you can see the black fish swimming in the lake when you stand on the edge of the lake. There were also some small boats on the lake, and the fisherwoman was laughing and laughing while fishing. By the lake, there are some small shops scattered around, some eat, drink tea, and sell fish bone ornaments. Yan Suwen inquired about the location of Zhang's restaurant and walked over with Gu Changfeng.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard a burst of laughter, and when I looked up, I saw a graceful woman talking to someone.
"You didn't steal this hairpin from your wife, did you? I'm telling you, I don't want this stolen thing. If your wife sees it, she may be talking about something outside. If it's a more fierce one, you'll probably pounce on me and grab me in the face. ”
"How can that yellow-faced woman's thing be used for you. Don't worry, I bought this hairpin on purpose, and you are the only one in the whole Fenglin Town. ”
"Really?"
"Seriously!"
"Even if it's serious, I don't dare to ask for it." The woman pushed the hairpin over: "You are a married man, but I am a new widow, this widow has a lot of rights and wrongs in front of the door, I don't want to be talked about that I have lost my morality." ”
The woman said, glancing out of the corner of her eye, and then twisted her waist and walked out: "These two look at each other, but they are beating guests from other places?" ”
