In the courtyard of Li's Mansion, the maid brought a basin of warm water at Li Congyun's door early in the morning, Hu Tu tested the water temperature, and pointed to the kettle on the stove next to him.

The maid understood, added some boiling water to it slightly, and was about to stand back to the side of the door with the basin in her hand, when suddenly, "Ah! Ahh A pig-killing scream came from the room.

Hu Tu was shocked, and he didn't care about the master's blame, kicked open the door, and shouted: "Master! Don't panic, Hu Tu came in! ”

"Ah?!" Hu Tu saw Ah Da standing in front of the bed smiling, and then looked at the master who looked like a dirty and innocent little daughter-in-law on the bed, and he couldn't ease his senses all of a sudden.

"Young Master, what's going on?"

"What's wrong? I want to know what's going on?! I'm scared to death! Li Congyun roared in his heart.

Just now, Li Congyun woke up in a haze, and in his sleepy eyes, he suddenly saw a black shadow flickering at the head of his bed.

He snapped up, opened his eyes, and when he saw a big cake face with two thick snots, he was giggling at himself.

The distance was close, and he wondered if he had rubbed his nose on his face!

It's chilling and disgusting to think about.

"Master, Ah Da doesn't look right."

Hu Tu carefully looked at the strong man who was dragging the quilt with one hand and stuffing his clothes into his mouth with the other, and his voice trembled to remind the master.

Li Congyun came back to his senses, threw the quilt on his body to Ah Da, and quickly got up and put on his clothes.

"Quick, what about the ones who followed Ah Da last night? Check it out. As he spoke, he put on his shoes, paused and said, "Forget it, let's go together!" ”

didn't care about etiquette at the moment, and ran straight to the wing room where the guards lived in the outer courtyard with Hu Tu.

At this time, he had to pretend to be calm in the study and wait for the news, which was really fatal.

"Master, no, didn't the boss tell us? Got a mission last night? The boss is out? ”

Several guards felt a little inexplicable, they obviously rested after dinner, and slept until dawn, how could they have ever gone out?

"Who were you with last night and what did you do?" Hu Tu personally sent a few of them out through the back door, so naturally he would not be mistaken.

"There's no one left, just a few of us together, and we drank some wine at night and went to sleep."

Several others echoed the same rhetoric.

"Master, they lie! I ......"

"That's it! Don't talk nonsense, maybe I'm mistaken! Alright, I won't delay you in using the morning food. Li Congyun interrupted Hu Tu's words and gave him a look.

"Young master, walk slowly."

……

Li Congyun has been meditating with his eyes closed since he entered the study, what went wrong?

It should have been very easy to take things from the hands of the refugees, but now the things have not arrived, and they have been folded!

Or is it lying nonsense? No. His mother and son are all supporting in his own Zhuangzi, and his sister is his own concubine, and his deed of sale is still in his hands.

Hu Tu definitely didn't have the courage to betray himself, let alone the ability to do all this.

Could it be that those guards joined forces and harmed Ah Da?

"Nonsense, come in!"

Confused, he blushed and knelt on the ground, "Master, master!" The villain really didn't lie to you, it was the few who followed Ah Da out to run errands. ”

"Okay, I know in my heart, you personally go to check how the relationship between Ah Da and them is, and what is the problem on weekdays."

Hu Tu simply responded, feeling a lot more comfortable, and the master didn't suspect him. Just as he wanted to turn around and leave, he heard a voice from behind him:

"By the way, arrange a few of the people we brought from Yuzhou, and secretly see how those untouchables react. Attention, don't make any trouble! ”

Li Congyun was furious but had to calm down, this Ah Da was his most powerful personal guard, and it was not too much to say that he had his arm cut off if he lost Ah Da.

If it weren't for the grace of a meal back then, how could such a person with outstanding martial arts willingly follow such a promising concubine as himself?

Who is calculating himself, the enemy of the Li family? Or those good brothers? Now that the enemy is dark and I am clear, we have to be careful to arm.

Li Congyun calculated for a long time, but he didn't count the group of people from the Gu family. Even if you know it, you will also think that there is someone behind them to manipulate, otherwise how can there be such a means?

After he was gone, he quickly wrote a short letter and handed it to an inferior servant.

"Go back to Yuzhou quickly, hand over the letter to the third lady, and if you can come back alive, I will promote you to be a first-class guard."

The little guy was fiery but a little scared, the plague was raging outside, the drought was serious, and it was probably unpredictable to go to the Li family's post house. If it weren't for that, the young master wouldn't have been trapped in this barren place for more than two months, wouldn't he?

The third lady mentioned here is the sister of Li Congyun's mother, and was given by Li's father to His Royal Highness King Huan as a concubine.

The Li family said that they were upright, and they would not have done anything to make their daughter a concubine.

However, King Huan has always been deeply loved by His Majesty the Emperor, and he is most likely to inherit the unification, and many people are turning around to send people to the palace, and the Li family is naturally unwilling to give up such an opportunity.

Li Congyun is managing the 'Welcome Lai' on the surface, but in fact, the money collected in private is quietly sent to the Huan Wangfu, and he has to earn a way for himself.

……

On the side of the ancient family in Shenle Village, the women have been collecting soles and making cotton shoes recently, and as soon as the work at hand is light, people love to chatter.

"Caiyi Niang, is your Caiyi fifteen, and it should be sixteen for the New Year, right?"

"No, the children are all debts, my family hasn't recovered yet, so I have to give Zhang Luo a marriage. Oh, by the way, his aunt, your peach is the same year as my girl, right? ”

Gu Fang's (Gu Li Zheng Niang) nodded, a little melancholy, "No, my family is from October, and your family is from Layue." ”

Caiyi Niang picked out a new upper from the basket, sighed and said: "Hey, you said that we are not familiar with the place, and we want to inquire about the right people, but we don't know where to start." ”

Gu Fangshi paused, and couldn't help but whisper: "Ming'er, I'm going to go to the town to find a matchmaker to investigate, do you want to come along?" ”

After saying that, she regretted it a little, usually saying that the kiss is carried out quietly, otherwise what if it is not said or is made bad? She just saw that the colorful lady was pitiful, and her heart softened for a while.

But if you think about it, her peaches are more than Caiyi, and she can't snatch my son's good marriage.

In fact, during the days of fleeing, except for Gu Tianxing and Qingzhu, which of the remaining ones was not sunburned as if they were carbon roots? Whether it's good or not, I really can't see it now.

As soon as it was dawn on the second day, Gu Anshi went to the town with the basket on his back and Caiyi Niang. The town is not much closer than the county. Without a mule cart, the two of them arrived in an hour and a half with their legs on their legs.

Gu Fang's family felt sorry for the child, so he directly found the matchmaker with the best reputation and the most expensive in the town - Granny Hua.

"There are people between twelve and eighty years old here, I don't know what kind of son-in-law the two of you want to find? But then again, striking iron still needs its own hardness, and the two of them look at each other, I don't know what the situation is at home? ”

What kind of person is Granny Hua, who is exquisite, spits lotus flowers in her mouth, and the rapeseed husk that falls to the ground can also fry three catties of oil for you.

As soon as she looked at the dark faces of the two women in front of her, she knew that they were not refugees but also bitter people.

Gu Fang's was a little embarrassed, and he looked back at the silent Caiyi Niang, so he had to pinch the corner of his clothes, and said stubbornly:

"I'll tell you the truth, we fled here, but the girl's dowry is still out. I don't want to find any rich and noble people, as long as the character is good and the elders are generous. As he spoke, he took out fifty pieces and stuffed them.

Granny Hua turned the money in her hand, and there were some differences. I feel that I have to hone it well, and maybe I can sign a death deed and sell it to others as a child daughter-in-law, which can earn more than ordinary matchmaking.

After receiving the money, his face looked better.

"Yes, yes, we are parents, don't we just want our daughter to marry a good family. I have a few suitable ...... here."

Granny Hua introduced three families to the two, the first was a widower, and the family had four acres of land and two children.

The second was a nice eighteen-year-old with six siblings, and he was third.

In the end, there is a rich man in his fifties, who has no heirs yet, and wants to take a concubine to have children, saying that he can be raised to a flat wife immediately after giving birth to a son.

Caiyi Niang feels that the second one is still somewhat reliable, but she has to inquire again to rest assured.

Gu Fang's family didn't look at any of them, when she was in Daao Village, she felt that her daughter was knowledgeable and reasonable, and she would definitely marry in the town and county town in the future, but now, ......

Granny Hua glanced at the two of them, laughed and said coldly:

"I won't tell you anything, before the refugees entered the city, many people exchanged a bucket of brown rice for their daughters-in-law, these days, the girls of poor families are worthless!"

Gu Fang's family trembled angrily and scolded secretly: You old thing is worth a bucket of brown rice! The old lady is a treasure!

But after all, the matchmaker couldn't be offended, so she had to swallow her anger and beg Granny Hua with a smiling face to help find it again.
