Chapter 260: The Hawthorn Tree
Ge Kuo will send someone to collect the "security fee" every month, three thousand taels a month, but after collecting the money, he can be safe and easy to mix in this Shengjing, and it is not a loss.
Moreover, this Ge Kuo will also introduce business to them, and of course he will take a cut of it.
"Don't be slow, hurry!" He stood impatiently in front of a carriage and waved at us.
Sister Yulan and I hurriedly quickened our pace and trotted towards him.
After getting into the carriage, Ge Kuo quickly drove away from Tonggu Lane.
Sister Yulan didn't ask anything, just sat quietly in the carriage.
Later, I learned that this is the rule of this industry, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't ask about the employer, otherwise it will only cause trouble.
There was silence all the way, and the carriage bypassed the main street of Shengjing, crossed two more forks, and headed north.
This road is dizzying, and I think the one who invites Sister Yulan should be a dignitary.
But after this large mansion, the carriage still had no intention of stopping.
I lifted the curtain and looked out.
I found that further on, there was a large number of shops, which was very lively.
Ge Kuo's carriage passed in front of a row of shops, and then went around to the back of these shops, originally thinking that it was a big family who invited Sister Yulan.
But after the carriage stopped, I felt that this house looked as if it was not as big as Master Liang's mansion before.
Just as Sister Yulan was about to get off the carriage, this Ge Kuo immediately said to Sister Yulan very seriously: "Don't ask, do what they want, you can't afford to offend!" ”
"Yes!" Sister Yulan was obviously stunned when she heard Ge Kuo say this, but she still nodded and got out of the carriage.
Ge Kuo pulled the brass ring and knocked on the door, and almost instantly, the door suddenly opened.
A thin-looking man in a gray robe appeared in front of us.
"My master has been waiting for you for a long time, and he is finally here." The thin man spoke slowly, giving people a feeling of weakness.
Also, the voice is slightly sharper.
He glanced at me and Sister Yulan and motioned for us to go in, but Ge Kuo was left at the door of the house.
As soon as I entered this house, I was greatly surprised.
From the outside, it should be just a small house, but when I came in, I found that the front yard was actually full of trees, and these trees still had beautiful red fruits growing on them.
"Hawthorn?" I recognized it at a glance, it was a hawthorn tree, and I immediately felt as if I had tasted the sweet and sour taste of hawthorn.
"Is this an orchard?" Sister Yulan couldn't help but underestimate it, because the corridors on both sides were also green.
The whole front yard was filled with a fruity smell, and it smelled very good.
A long time ago, because I like to eat rock sugar gourds, Master also planted hawthorn, but unfortunately, we are always moving, so every time we plant, we can't wait for the fruit to bear fruit, so we leave again.
"Two, this way, please!" The thin man, seeing us looking at the hawthorn trees in the courtyard, opened his mouth and spoke.
Sister Yulan and I came back to our senses and followed the man towards the corridor on the right.
After passing through this corridor, we arrived at the main hall of the inner courtyard, and this thin man asked Sister Yulan to go with him, leaving me alone in the hall.
Sister Yulan picked up her bag containing the magic weapon and motioned for me to wait for her here, and then I watched Sister Yulan being taken out of the hall.
And I sat obediently in the hall, and it didn't take long for someone to come to make tea and deliver snacks.
"Rock sugar gourd?" I stared at the dim sum in the porcelain bowl and was amazed.
Before, I rarely saw people use rock sugar gourd as a snack to greet guests, but I ate it in Xianglou yesterday, maybe this rock sugar gourd is still very popular in Shengjing.
