Chapter Fifty-Nine: Shopping Tiger Horse
Gu Liu smiled and explained: "Just now, a wild cat suddenly jumped out and scared the little girl a lot, she thought it was a ghost, so she couldn't stand on the ground in fear. ”
Aunt Li and her man smiled innocently: "The little girl is timid, very normal, my family was also timid when she was young, and she was afraid of ghosts and gods every day." ”
He continued to ask: "Sixth Master, how long have you been here, have you found that thing?" ”
Speaking of business, Gu Liu shook his head and said with a deep face: "Not yet, I have seen all the walls over there, and there is no such side." I remembered that the little girl was not safe outside alone, "You go out and wait, the lights are blind outside, and she is not safe alone." ”
"Don't worry, my family is waiting outside. I thought that you would come in a few days, so I thought that I would come first to get the things in my hands, and I would save you from running again when the time came. I'll help you find it. ”
Knowing that the little girl had someone to accompany her, Gu Liu nodded.
It was already dark, and the two of them held candles and searched the entire main hall, but they still found nothing.
"Sixth Master, did that person deceive us! I've searched it all, or nothing? Or is it not in the main hall, or it may not be hidden in the side hall? ”
Gu Liu shook his head and said, "No, his life is almost gone when he confesses, when people are living and dying, where do they have the brains to lie and deceive people, things must still be in the house, we can't find it, there is no trace of others coming here when I came in, it means that others have not found it, and if you look carefully, you will definitely be able to find it." ”
This house is so big that he is afraid of missing it, so he has touched all the places he has looked for, but there is still nothing, so he can't hide something and dig a hole into the sky.
Speaking of the sky, Gu Liu thought of something, looked up, and there was a faint candlelight, there was a place in the crossbeam IQ that was different from other places, as if it was cut out of something and inlaid back, the thing should be there, but in such a high place, even if it is skilled, it may not be able to stand still and open the mechanism.
Turn on the switch of the mechanism, and it must still be down there.
Aunt Li and her man are really tired enough, don't touch the wall next to each other, even the kicking place has to bend over to find it, he is old, his waist is not as good as that of young people, he can't hold it after a circle, he is afraid of touching something, he sees that only the pedestal is slightly cleaner, and the height is just right to the waist, so he leans on it to take a rest.
The hand was propped up on the pedestal, and suddenly, the finger touched the same place.
Aunt Li and her man exclaimed: "Sixth Master, come and see, I seem to have touched something." ”
Gu Liu came over with a candle, and saw a hole in the red lacquered pedestal, and the stone on it seemed to be able to move, Gu Liu reached out and touched it, and felt that he could press it, so he pressed it hard.
There was a 'snap', and something popped out of the beam.
Aunt Li and her man hurriedly picked it up, it was a wooden box, and the lock was sealed with beeswax. When Aunt Li and her man were thinking about how to open the lock on the box, Gu Liu reached out and picked up the box and smashed it on the ground.
With a loud bang, the box cracked in half, and inside the box, a fold was impressively included.
Gu Liu bent over and picked it up, held it in his hand, looked at a page, and laughed.
"That's it." Stuffing things into his arms, Gu Liu took Aunt Li and her man out of the broken temple.
Aunt Li was afraid that the two carriages would be too noticeable to hear that they were seen at the gate of the broken temple, so she drove the carriage to the fork on the side, and when Gu Liu followed the mark to find them, Yun Xiu had already fallen asleep on the basket in the car.
It's cold, I'm afraid she'll catch a cold. took out Gu Xiaoqi's quilt from the basket and covered the little girl.
Gu Xiaoqi was sleeping soundly with the child, and there was a stove next to him that was also sleeping, and the carriage was warm.
Why did the master come back and lift a few of their mother's covers?
The big cat and the kitten sat pitifully in the hard basket, aggrieved, but they didn't dare to scream out in protest.
Aunt Li and her husband thought that Gu Liuye would have to live in Sikou Town for a while before they could come to Runan, so they rented a house in the city, thinking that Gu Liuye would also go, after all, the house they rented was safer than the inn, and Liuye loved to be clean, and they also specially prepared clean beds and bedding.
Gu Liu said with a smile: "Let's all go to live in the yamen tonight, I heard that the mansion of the prefect of Runan is luxurious, I will visit it, and when I go back to decorate the new house, it can be used as a reference." ”
Aunt Li and her man looked at the master suspiciously, others didn't know who the prefect of Runan was, he had been with the sixth master for so many years, but he knew it clearly, at this time, he brought things to live in their house, didn't he go into the tiger's mouth and send the food himself?
"At this time, which place in Runan City is safer than the prefect's yamen? Besides, I have a magic weapon with me, and he has to desperately protect his master even if he breaks his arm. Gu Liu looked at his doubts and said with a smile.
When he came out of the capital, he had already arranged it for him.
Take the things, go straight to the prefect's yamen, eat and drink, tour the mountains and rivers, take his letter to the prefect of Runan, from Runan to Wangjing, the safety of this road has been guaranteed.
This kind of good thing of taking his daughter-in-law out to eat with public funds, Gu Liuye has always been very happy.
knocked on the door and called people, as expected, after reading the letter from the boss, the prefect of Runan suddenly took a 180-degree turn.
Originally, the tone of defensiveness was suddenly changed to stammering, and the sixth master and the sixth master shouted, and arranged for the family servants to prepare the best room, with a respectful attitude, as if they had seen their ancestors.
Gu Liu was curious, what did Boss Fu write in that letter, and when he learned it, he would use this trick to fool people and cheat people to eat and drink.
Yun Xiu woke up and found himself sleeping in a room with carved beams and paintings, and the carvings of the Eight Immortals on the bed looked like they were piled up of silver, and the quilt on his body was also made of fine satin, and the inside was made of delicate fine fabric.
sat up and looked around, Gu Liu was not seen in the empty room, but she probably knew that this should be the Yamen of the Governor of Runan Mansion mentioned by the Sixth Master yesterday, three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, this room in Runan Mansion is so extravagant, I don't know how many years I have gone.
Putting on her shoes, she poked her head and shouted softly, "Sixth Master...... Sixth Master ......"
Suddenly, there was a 'squeak', the door opened, and Gu Liuyi walked in with a gorgeous costume and a hundred times more energetic at the door.
"Hurry up and wash and change your clothes, and later my master will take you to the street for a walk, and show you the big horse and the big tiger!" Gu Liuyang said proudly, he got up and went around the street, there are a lot of fun things that the little girl likes very much.
"Is there really a big tiger?" Yun Xiu's eyes widened, this Runan Mansion is really prosperous, even tigers can be raised!
"What a lie to you, wash up and change clothes, let's go out after dinner." Gu Liu nodded, and then let the maid outside the door come in to serve.
Yun Xiu asked others to help her get dressed when she was awake for the first time, and she didn't know how to place her hands stiffly, Gu Liu was sitting on the seat outside and had already picked up the dishes and chopsticks and started eating, when she heard the little girl inside calling with a smile: "Oh, don't touch it, it's so itchy, hahahaha...... Hey, you ...... a little bit."
Gu Liuye filled a mouthful of rice, and secretly decided in his heart that when he became a relative in the future, he would change her clothes and comb her hair, and he must be active, just sitting here and listening, his heart was itching.
With the help of several little maids, Yunxiu, who was neatly dressed, came out of the inner room.
Gu Liu turned his head to look at her, and forgot to move the chopsticks in his hand.
The little girl was dressed in lotus lotus color hollow dark embroidered gold silk peony half arm, under the colorful clouds pleated horse-faced skirt, the skirt was embroidered with mountains, rivers and clouds. There are two hollow fragrant silver bells hanging from the waist, and the walk is crisp and pleasant, the makeup on the face is just right, the beauty is very good, and the makeup is three points.
"Is it noisy walking?" Yun Xiu asked embarrassedly, these two bells sounded strange, but she liked them tightly and wanted to take them.
Gu Liu shook his head and said with a smile: "The grooming skills on Governor Liu's mansion are really good, go back and let your master reward it!" You don't need to make vegetables, you all go out, your skills are good, and you will have your vacation today. ”
The maids thanked them and came out.
Yun Xiu sat beside Gu Liu, her clothes were too exquisite, she didn't dare to move her chopsticks, for fear of soiling her clothes.
Gu Liu only thought that she had tied her waist too tightly for the sake of beauty, and she had no stomach to eat. smiled and quipped: "If it's inconvenient for you to bow your head, why don't I feed you?" ”
Yun Xiu waved her hand again and again to refuse, let her feed her in the blue sky and daylight, she couldn't do this kind of embarrassing thing.
After breakfast, he went to Governor Liu's mansion to say hello, and Gu Liu took Yunxiu and several officials of the prefect's yamen, penniless, and swaggered out of the mansion to go shopping.
The ten-mile long street is bustling with thousands of people. Shili Street in Runan Mansion is the most famous and lively place, and there are small vendors selling things on both sides of the long street, and there are many things that Yunxiu has never seen before.
For example, the old gentleman who was painting on the gourd, there were a few small horses in front of the old gentleman's stall who painted the gourd, Yunxiu was curious, so he sat there and watched seriously.
"Do you like it?" Gu Liu leaned over and asked.
"I like it." Yun Xiu nodded like a chicken pecking rice, she really liked this, but when she went out, Gu Liu explained that she didn't have to bring money, there were many thieves on the street, and she stole a lot.
When she heard it, she felt that it made sense, it was not easy for the sixth master to farm to make money, and the two of them would have to live a good life in the future, and they couldn't lose their family in this regard.
As a result, she saw something she liked at this time, but she didn't have the money to buy it, but it was okay if she didn't bring silver, so she comforted herself: I'm afraid that this gourd can't be completed in a few hours, and it's a handicraft job, so it must be expensive to buy it, and I saved money without silver.
"Want to buy it?" Gu Liu continued to ask.
Yun Xiu shook her head and nodded again, she really liked it.
Gu Liu stretched out his hand, "Let me tell you the truth, in fact, I didn't bring any money." ”
Yun Xiu glanced at him, you didn't bring any money, you said a ghost!
Seeing that she was about to get angry, Gu Liucai smiled and said, "But what about the person I brought to pay for the things." As he spoke, he chose the gourd that the little girl had been staring at for the longest time, and said to the official behind him: "Take this, remember to pay." ”
Yun Xiu pursed her lips and didn't speak. She originally thought that Gu Liu came out with the servants to protect their safety, and the relationship was to help pay the bills and carry things, the sixth master was mighty and domineering!
Walking for most of the street, the ferrule threw the pot, the two of them played with the curious, and a few servants carried a few large bags and small bags, and followed behind them with smiles on their faces.
Where have they ever done this kind of work on weekdays, when did the people on the street not be polite to them, even if there were some businessmen and wealthy households, they had to respectfully shout the official master when they saw them, but they never expected to be dragged out as a follower.
