Chapter 60: Ingenuity
There is a lot of leisure in winter, and recently the warm sun is shining, and the "Welcome Lai" restaurant is also ushering in the lively ones these days.
"Why don't we say that we all have blessed stars shining on our heads! Look at those who are sick outside the city, and there is not even a corpse in the capital, it is really miserable! ”
Recently, everyone has a sense of the aftermath of the catastrophe. Xu is not down-to-earth, he always loves to talk about how lucky he is and how pitiful he is in the outer city.
Although the stone became a cold pot stove due to the death of Lord Zhang, the city guard, his mood was still high.
The eldest brother and the old lady's illness have long been cured, and now the old lady is making him a jacket at home.
Later, he himself contracted the epidemic, and he was treated and quarantined in a small courtyard for 20 days.
No, the doctor came back early this morning and said that he was already well, so he couldn't wait to come out and play.
At this moment, when I heard someone say about the plague, I couldn't help but sit down with a flask.
"Brother, that's a good point! If God hadn't opened his eyes and asked Miss Guiren to come to Anhe County and prescribe a prescription for us to treat the disease, I don't know what the situation would be now. ”
"Oh, and this stubble? I thought Dr. Wang of the auspicious pharmacy saved us! ”
The speaker was a little suspicious, he had never heard of any noble lady, and the decoction he drank was arranged and distributed by the magistrate.
"Master Shi Bing didn't talk nonsense, everyone who lives at the entrance of the vegetable market knows that when the noble lady comes to apply medicine, she will put aside the gong and drum and call us."
"How precious you are, Lao Tzu's voice is hoarse, and he can't come out of his stunned life." The stone squinted at the man, his tone a little dissatisfied.
At the beginning, after he was busy with a few brothers, these people were good, and there was not a single shadow.
Miss Noble Lady, Baba has been waiting for a day! is also a good temperament, if you want to put yourself aside, you will already pick a child, and you don't care if you live or die.
"Uncle Shi, that's not the county's general decoction, but there are more people who get sick when we go to get it......" The resident at the entrance of the vegetable market touched his nose apologetically, this is indeed not authentic.
The stone was about to speak, when suddenly his eyes lit up, and he stood up sharply and walked towards the door with a lunge.
"Noble Grace, it's great to meet you here! I'm about to turn the county upside down, and I thought you were gone, but Miss Guiren is okay now? ”
Gu Anze looked back at the deep green bamboo, is this talking to you?
Qingzhu nodded and said lightly to the stone: "Miss is very good." ”
Only then did Shi find Gu Anze standing next to him, and he saw that he should know Engong, so he asked, "Who is this?" ”
"Oh, I'm his young lady's father."
Stone:......
With your monkey black monkey black appearance, can you be the father of Miss Guiren? Besides, isn't Miss Guiren holding the Jiang family's token?
He secretly glanced at Qingzhu and saw that he had not reacted, so it seemed that this matter was true.
The stone that reacted hurriedly beckoned to invite the two to dinner. Gu Anze happily agreed, and Qingzhu packed a sour bamboo shoot that Gu Tianxing loved to eat and left.
He went to bring water back to the Jiang family, and happened to meet Gu Anze, and heard that he was going to buy food for the young lady, so he followed. After all, he is fast, so Miss will have to wait for another half a day.
Shi ordered a large table of dishes and introduced to everyone, "This is the father of the benefactor who gave the prescription to treat us." ”
Everyone thanked me word by word, and they all wanted to add food to their table, and the shopkeeper Hu directly waved his hand and proudly exempted the meal money.
Gu Anze enjoyed this feeling of being complimented by everyone very much, and whoever came to toast did not refuse, and he was even a little happy.
Shopkeeper Hu personally helped the stone carry the drunk Gu Anze into the car and watched the carriage leave.
"Today, it's a waste of money for the shopkeeper!" The stone arched his hand, after all, he didn't have much credit, and he also rubbed a large table of delicious food and drink.
Shopkeeper Hu hurriedly waved his hand.
"Don't, don't, Uncle Shi can come to my small shop, it's already full of brilliance. By the way, do you know this man's family? He often comes to my house to deliver food......"
……
In the study of the Li Mansion, Li Congyun was looking through the codex handed over by Hu Tu, which was about his interrogation of the guards in the past few days.
"In this way, these people have a good relationship with Ah Da."
"Master, others don't dare to say it, but this little black and little white have a lifelong friendship with Ah Da. Besides, you've always been generous, and the little one can't think of any reason for them to betray all of them at the same time. ”
Li Congyun didn't speak, but he was noncommittal in his heart. If it was really bought, it would not be used in this stall, at least until those two rare items arrived in his hands, and then he would take action.
"What are the actions of the untouchables of Qizi?" Since the family can't find out, I have to put more effort into them.
"The little one was worried about losing his manpower again, so he didn't dare to ask the people below to get close to those refugees, so he only lay in ambush on the road out of the village, and followed behind in several waves."
Hu Tu said, glanced at his master, and saw that he was not unhappy, so he continued:
"I didn't find anything abnormal, I went to the town and county to sell vegetables as before, and occasionally bought some food and goods, so I didn't have any panic. A few days ago, I even went to the town to find a matchmaker to show my daughter. ”
The two were talking, and there was a sudden knock on the door, "Young master, Shopkeeper Hu asked to see him, saying that he was in a hurry." ”
Li Congyun said, "Hurry up, please invite him in." ”
guessed in his heart what was going on, so Lao Hu couldn't hold his breath like this, and ran to the house without taking care of business in broad daylight.
"Young master, the old man inquired about ...... today"
Hu Tu poured a cup of tea for the shopkeeper Hu, and Li Congyun listened carefully and frowned.
"Jiang family token? It seems that they have a lot to do with the Jiang family. The recipe for the plague is also from their hands, I'm afraid ...... There is something really extraordinary about these people. ”
"Master, so those two precious vegetables are also the Jiang family's business?"
Hu Tu suddenly realized that if it was the Jiang family, it would definitely not be difficult to fool Ah Da and deceive a few guards without knowing it.
Li Congyun unconsciously knocked on the bookcase, "No, the Jiang family is based in Zhongzhou, if it is his family's business, he will definitely not go to this poor and remote place to do a few small restaurant business." ”
Yes, the Jiang family is a wealthy businessman, and they have an in-law relationship with the King of Zhongshan, so there is no need to avoid many things.
In addition, Zhongzhou is an important place with eight access, and this object is better revitalized and benefited in Zhongzhou, and they will not do this useless act.
"Hu Tu, you just said that the gang is going to marry a girl?"
"Yes, it is said that most of those people are surnamed Gu, and there are two families in the family of the Xiangxiang, and one of them is the patriarch of the Gu clan."
Hu Tu didn't understand why he went around to the matter of kissing again, but since the young master asked, he had to say it carefully, so as not to leak any important information.
Li Congyun nodded, "Hu Tu, you haven't said kiss yet, have you?" ”
"Huh? Oh, how can the little one be so blessed? It's still a single one. Hu Tu smiled a little embarrassedly and looked down at the vamp.
In fact, the family has already told him to kiss him, just waiting for the master to finish this errand and go to the woman's house to see the face, but the small family will naturally not have a good family affair.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a sentence, "No, how about you marry the daughter of this patriarch's family?" When it reached his ears, Hu Tu only felt a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and immediately cried and begged for mercy with a sad face.
"I have wronged you a little, but you can rest assured, I will remember your heart."
What heart? Nature is the heart that gives everything for the master.
Hu Tu felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn't dare to dwell on it anymore, he had been with his master for more than ten years, of course he knew when he had to obey his words.
"It's up to the master to decide."
Li Congyun nodded with satisfaction, and said to Shopkeeper Hu with a smile:
"Lao Hu, please bother with this matter. It is only said that when they entered the city, Hu Tu fell in love with the daughter of the patriarch's family. As for the dowry, give thirty taels! ”
Usually, the first-class family in the house marries a family, and it is generally a reward of ten taels of silver, but now it is worth giving thirty taels, which is worthy of nonsense.
"The foolish little brother is so capable, I think the Gu family must be a hundred satisfied, and I will ask a matchmaker to come to the door tomorrow."
Shopkeeper Hu naturally knew his owner's thoughts, but the Li family had a big business, so he didn't choose to use tough means to deal with that group of refugees, but even got married. What a rare act of kindness!
As for whether it is to marry someone else's girl with a purpose, this is nothing, who is not looking forward to getting a helpful in-law.
What? Love, you say? What kind of Rausch is that? We've never heard of this stuff in dozens of big states.
The shopkeeper Hu was silent, his hands were in his sleeves, and he left with a relaxed step.
