Chapter Ninety-Nine: Good Fortune for Good Men
Yes, this man is the eaves man who sent Gu Jiang out back then, Tao Fu.
Tao Fu only gave Gu Jiang to Yunlan seven years ago, and after one night, he heard the news that the Gu family was destroyed, and he also heard that Gu Jiang fell into the river and drowned in the process of escaping with Yunlan.
He didn't dare to go to Yiran Pavilion at all, for fear that Gu Jiang and Yunlan would tell him before they died, he had been a walker in the Gu family for so long before, how could he not know that the Gu family had been counted as an anti-thief party?
If he is found out and once covered the escape of the daughter of the thief, won't he be finished?
Therefore, for so many years, he didn't dare to go to Yiran Pavilion and take the box of jewelry that Mrs. Gu promised him.
Later, Tao Fu married a wife, and he didn't dare to do those limelight work, for fear that others would recognize that he had done something in the Gu family, so the silver taels he earned were pitiful.
In the past, he was in the Gu family, and his life was comfortable, but now that he has married a wife, he has caused the family to starve, and he has been guilty for many years, but because he is too timid, and then he is afraid of affecting his wife, and he has never had the idea of getting up to get the box of jewels.
But today is different, if you don't move the box of jewelry, your wife and children will die, and now it's like this, instead of dying together as a family, it's better to gamble and have a chance to live again.
In the past, he didn't dare to tell his wife that he had this special status, and because his wife's maiden family was still in Kyoto, he couldn't find a reason to let his wife move out of Kyoto for no reason.
Now, his wife and his parents died last year, and this time he took his wife to live in another county.
Tao Fu panted and climbed to the top of the mountain and came to the Yiran Pavilion.
There is some dirt all around, and if you bury things in the soil, you will be exposed to the sun and rain for so many years, and I am afraid that it will have corroded long ago.
The Wing Ran Pavilion is paved with bricks and stones, and it must be hidden under this brick and stone, and some mechanism is opened.
Tao Fu looked around, but he couldn't find it after looking for a long time, he sat on the stone bench in the pavilion, pondering, and even for a moment, his back was cold, thinking about whether this box of treasures would be used by Mrs. Gu to deceive him, whether it would be something unwarranted.
However, this thought only turned for a moment, and then vanished, with his previous experience of staying in the Gu Mansion for so many years, as well as his understanding of Mrs. Gu, Mrs. Gu should not deceive.
Tao Fu stepped on the bricks and stones under the pavilion, listened to their echoes, and felt their firmness, and he suddenly found that there were two pieces, which were indeed different from the next one.
He took out the dagger he was carrying, and carefully pried open the gap between the two that seemed to be hollow bricks, and the gap was unexpectedly tight, and when he finally pried open a piece, he was surprised to find that there was indeed a box underneath.
But this box doesn't seem to be the usual size.
Because the Yiran Pavilion is located on a high mountain, if it weren't for the occasional literati and scholars who came up and gathered to compose poems, ordinary people would not be willing to endure so much hardship and climb up this high mountain.
So Tao Fu was relieved, and Forsythia opened several bricks.
It took six bricks to cover the box, and it didn't look like a temporary idea, but rather a family used to flee.
This is almost the family of a medium-sized family in Kyoto!
He knew that the Gu family was rich, but he didn't expect that there would be so many treasures in a box hidden under a pavilion at random.
But the Gu family, where did they get so much money? This made him, who was convinced that the Gu family was wronged, couldn't help but be a little suspicious, the Gu family wouldn't really want to rebel, right?
Otherwise, what are they doing with so much money in this pavilion?
But now, it doesn't matter whether they want to rebel or not, their entire family has been killed, and this box of treasures can be regarded as their own compensation.
For so many years, because I was willing to help that little girl, I suffered myself for so many years, and my wife suffered with me for so many years, and even my own life and the child's life were almost lost.
Looking at the big box under this pavilion, such a big box, it must be eye-catching to carry it back, maybe it was snatched up by the ruffians next door to him before he got to his own house,
So he took a piece of cloth that he had brought with him, wrapped one-fifty percent of it out, put it into the basket he had brought, and put firewood in it.
In the end, he put the bricks back one by one, and erased as many traces as possible, so that in the future, when the literati would meet again and find the treasure in the box.
After all, he has suffered for so many years, but this burden can not be paid off, and when the money given to Langzhong is settled, he will take his wife and move to other county towns to settle down, and he will take the rest away.
Tao Fu weighed the treasures in the basket and felt that these silvers should be enough to buy an ordinary house in other counties.
Tao Fu went home first with the basket on his back, hid the extra things, explained a few words to his wife, and hired a carriage to go to the Ziyang Medical Center to repay the money.
At this time, it was already evening, and it was supposed to be tomorrow to repay the silver, but thinking of today, Tao Fu brought the things, Lang Zhong was relieved, but also a little surprised.
"Where did you get all this money?"
Tao Fu only shirked and said that it was borrowed, and left.
After returning home, his wife was still holding the milk doll and feeding again, watching him come and go, and it was not clear why.
It wasn't until Tao Fu unfolded the bag in front of her that her eyes straightened with shock.
"This, this! You wouldn't rob someone's shop just to repay the money, would you? Hurry back and go back. ”
Tao Fu smiled, for the first time in the years since he married his wife, he felt open and confident in his heart.
He briefly told everything that happened back then, and then comforted his wife, which he deserved.
Tao Fu's wife couldn't digest so much information for a while, and it took a long time before she stammered and asked.
"For so many years, we have been so difficult, and we are about to starve to death for a year, haven't you even thought of taking it out to save the emergency?"
Tao Fu listened, half guilty and half firm, and said.
"Have you never seen that situation back then, a little girl from the Gu family, ran out, and was killed in the river, if I took this thing and was discovered, would I still be alive?"
Listening to his words, the woman still felt a little reasonable, but she was unwilling in her heart, after all, this time, she not only walked on the ghost door, but also experienced very unbearable pain, and even the child was almost stillborn.
She half-sat up gently, and weakly beat Tao Fu with her hand.
"You, you, why didn't you leave early, I, I almost went with the child this time."
"Wasn't your father and mother still there at that time? I can't move, and I don't dare to tell your father and mother that they were against you marrying me in the first place, and if they knew that I had such a dangerous past, they would definitely take you back. ”
Women don't know whether to be happy or sad.
"You love me so much, why did you make me suffer for so many years?"
Tao Fu's eyes were filled with tears, and he gently patted his wife's back with his hand.
"It's all over, it's over, tomorrow we will move and leave, live in a place where no one knows me, we will start living again, our fairy days, raise the child well, let him be a pillar of talent, I promise you, it will be a good life in the future."
After negotiating, the husband and wife both slept sweetly, and after nearly seven years of extreme suffering, this couple finally ushered in their spring.
