Chapter 212: Zijuan's Defeat (1)
Shi Shi was silent, and looked at Gu Yutang in front of him in a daze, in fact, he didn't know what his brother was going to do at the temple fair that day.
After his brother jumped off the restaurant, he couldn't find it, so he had to go back to the restaurant and wait for the rabbit.
When he woke up, he saw his brother reappeared in the restaurant, and he didn't know what his brother had done in the middle of the hour or two.
He didn't care about it afterwards, so he didn't ask his brother, and his brother didn't talk to him.
Now that the girl of the Gu family asked him, how should he answer?
If the Gu family girl asks in the future, there will always be her own brother to protect her, and the Gu family girl will not dare to do anything to him.
Thinking like this, the stone instantly became bold, and after thinking about it in his heart, he said.
"Miss Gu, last night my brother went to the Puning Temple in the west of the city, and booked a private room in the Xiangfu Building opposite the long street, and the wine was half drunk, and the sound of shouting to catch the thief came from the long street downstairs, my son-in-law just heard the sound, thinking that Miss Gu was pickpocketed, and jumped down from the Xiangfu Building without thinking about it, and then disappeared on the long street."
Hearing this, Gu Yutang raised his head and glanced at the stone again.
Looking at what he said with a nose and eyes, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, with such a stupid mind, would he be able to pull out such an inconsequential lie?
Although this matter came out of the mouth of the stone, it made people feel a little out of bounds. But she thought about it carefully, with Jiang Zhiming's nosy temperament, when she heard someone downstairs shouting to catch the thief, maybe she would really jump down without her brain.
"What about after the fact? Did your son-in-law catch the pickpocket? Gu Yutang picked up a blue luochun placed on the top of the high table, drank half a sip gently, and said lightly.
looked at Gu Yutang with a calm face, not surprised. Shi Shi's heart is not calm, although what he said is true, but after his addition, this matter has made people feel boundless, why is Gu Yutang still willing to believe what he said?
After a moment, the stone followed his thoughts and continued.
"Miss Gu, after my son-in-law jumped downstairs, he went to chase the pickpocket. Who knew that the pickpocket was physically strong, and Childe chased him all the way for eight streets, and when the pickpocket was exhausted, Childe finally caught him. The matter was still not red and breathless, and the pickpocket was handed over to the land security in the west of the city. ”
Gu Yutang heard the stone say this, and laughed out loud on the spot, Jiang Zhiming's thin arms and legs can chase a pickpocket for eight streets? Can you catch the thief without blushing and panting?
Besides, she has also been to the west of the city, there are only four streets in total, where are the other four extra? I ran eight streets after the pickpocket, but I am afraid that he has already run back to the city from the west of the city, right? Where else can it be handed over to the land protector in the west of the city?
Although the sentence on the stone is a little marginal, Jiang Zhiming's temperament may be done.
These words behind the stone are pure story-like nonsense, and I don't know from which book he heard it? I don't know which martial arts master is so unlucky, and his name has been changed to Jiang Zhiming's stinky boy, who can run eight streets in order to chase a thief.
But presumably the thief's kung fu is not bad, and he can be chased for eight streets.
Besides, a thief with such good kung fu doesn't want to be the nursing home of a big family, but to be a pickpocket who is chased by others, just because he is full and has nothing to do.
Gu Yutang didn't speak, Ah Hua had already heard something wrong from the stone's words, when did the Jiang family's kung fu become so good? Can you catch thieves on the street? Didn't you get seriously injured by the mountain bandits last time?
And it's still eight streets, it has to be a few miles away, and it takes half an hour to ride a horse and a car, is the Jiang family's son's two legs okay now? Isn't it scrapped yet?
Ah Hua thought like this, and hurriedly asked, "Stone, your son-in-law's leg is not crippled, right?" can run up eight streets, even if this leg is not wasted, I'm afraid I won't be able to get up for ten days and half a month, right? ”
Gu Yutang heard Ah Hua say this, and his heart was already happy, Ah Hua, a stupid girl, this time her IQ is finally online? Those who can run up eight streets, without blushing or panting, are not people, they are definitely gods!
As soon as Ah Hua's words came out, he immediately blocked back the words that Shi still wanted to continue. If you think about it carefully, what he just said is indeed full of loopholes, presumably even a three-year-old child knows that he is talking nonsense, right?
Fortunately, there is no one who has not heard these words, and if his own son-in-law hears him arranged him like this, he is afraid that he will not be able to eat and will walk around.
Shi first glanced at Gu Yutang, then at Ah Hua, and saw that they all stopped smiling before he said.
"Miss Gu, the stone told the truth, since the son jumped downstairs that day, he didn't see the figure of the child. The stone called someone out to look for it a few times, but there were too many people on the street, and we searched a few streets but we didn't find the child. Childe came back by himself in the middle of the night. ”
Seeing that the stone finally told the truth this time, Gu Yutang didn't care about his previous storytelling, and called Ah Hua to go to the pantry with a blue luochun and come out, resting on the high table next to the stone, and then said.
"Are you saying that your son-in-law has not been able to see anyone since he jumped downstairs to catch the thief? So what did he do in the hour or two? Did you ask him? ”
Gu Yutang asked urgently, and Shi Shi answered quickly, but this time he didn't add oil and vinegar, but said one by one.
"Miss Gu, after I led a few little servants to search the street to no avail, I planned to wait for the rabbit and return to the restaurant. In the second half of the night, Childe came back disgraced. Childe didn't say it, and we waiters didn't dare to ask. ”
After Gu Yutang asked everything he wanted to ask, he let the stone drink a cup of tea, and then ordered Ah Hua to personally send the stone over.
As soon as Ah Hua left, Da Han rushed in from outside in a hurry, took three steps and two steps to Gu Yutang's side, and said, "Girl, someone came over from the hall, saying that the spring cicada girl who was waiting by his wife's side came down, and wanted to invite the girl to come over to talk." ”
Spring cicadas are coming down? The spring cicada is not waiting by the mother's side, how can it suddenly come down? Could it be that something happened to her mother and the spring cicada came down to tell her?
Gu Yutang didn't think much about it, pulled up the big cold, and went to the hall.
In the hall, Lin sat on a soft couch, pruning the red plums that Feng Lao'an had ordered to be sent by the flower room early this morning.
There are two white porcelain flowers named "Beauty under the Moon" on the high table next to the soft couch, these two white porcelain flowers, Gu Yutang remembers that they are Lin's favorites, they are hidden in the cage on weekdays, and they are reluctant to take them out, why are they taken out now?
Gu Yutang raised his eyes and saw the spring cicada sitting next to Lin's side, helping her to load the flower goblet with the well water that had been ordered to be made from the small well in the courtyard.
After not seeing the spring cicada for many days, Gu Yutang's impression of her was a little blurred.
Chun Cicada changed the innocent armor she wore on weekdays, changed into a blue-green flower gown, combed a round bun neatly, and fixed her hair bun with a hairpin inlaid with red gold inlaid with jade beads, her face was a little haggard, and her eye sockets were sunken, as if it was caused by crying for a long time.
The spring cicada took the red plum trimmed by the Lin family, and was about to insert it into the flower goose, when he raised his head, he saw Da Han walking in with Gu Yutang in his arms.
The spring cicada seemed to be startled, her face showed a little joy, and she didn't care that she was still holding the red plum in her hand, so she stood up and shouted affectionately, "Girl, you're here." ”
Because the Lin family was still in the house, Gu Yutang was not good enough to catch up with the spring cicada in front of the Lin family. After saluting the Lin family, he took Chun Chan's hand and sat down, "Why did Sister Chun Chan come down?" Did the mother call Sister Chuncia to come down? ”
Gu Yutang said, his heart was extremely excited, and it didn't take long for the corners of his eyes to moisten.
When Chun Chan saw Gu Yutang, his eyes were also moist, but he didn't cry out loud, holding Gu Yutang's hand tightly, and said.
"Girl, it was my wife who called me down, and my wife has always remembered in her heart these days that the girl has been away from home, and has asked me to come down and see the girl again and again. But there are a lot of things in the house, and my wife is sick again, so this has dragged on these days. ”
Holding Gu Yutang's hand tightly, Chun Chan's heart was really excited, and he began to tremble unconsciously.
"These days, it's a bitter girl. Fortunately, the girl was blessed by the old lady, and the girl would not be bullied by those maids in the second room. ”
Hearing the spring cicada say this, Lin also stopped the movements in his hand.
Raising his eyes and glancing at Gu Yutang, seeing that the joy on her face was written on her face, it was rare to see her so happy, Lin was also happy in his heart, took Gu Yutang's hand, and said with a smile.
"Sister Tang is my own granddaughter, I don't protect her, who will protect her? Fortunately, Sister Tang is a smart person and won't take the initiative to cause trouble for me, and I will hurt her more. ”
Listening to what Lin said, the spring cicada was willing to put his mind at ease.
Before she came to the second room, she thought that the girl was away from the care of her wife, and there was no capable maid around to protect her, and the old lady didn't like the girl, so she thought that the girl's life in the second room would be difficult.
But now, looking at Mrs. Lin's love for the girl, it doesn't look like it's pretending, but it seems to be from the heart.
There is an old lady who protects the girl, thinking that those cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods in the second room dare not easily provoke the girl.
However, since she came down on behalf of her wife, she had to say a few words for her wife, and thanked the Lin family for taking care of the girl these days.
The spring cicada beckoned to the maid beside her, and the maid placed the red lacquered wood box she was holding in her arms on the high table next to Lin, and the box contained a few ginseng and lingzhi that looked good.
"Old lady, these medicinal materials were bought for you by my wife through an acquaintance in Luoping. A few days ago, my wife heard that the old lady had been on the couch for several days, and she almost didn't get over, and wanted to come down to take care of you personally, but there were too many things in the house, and I really couldn't get out. I asked someone to buy these body-tonifying herbs. ”
Chun Cicada said, took a mountain ginseng in the box and put it in Lin's hand, "The old lady takes a closer look, these mountain ginsengs are not ordinary, you can use them to replenish your body is the best, that Ganoderma lucidum is often served, and it is also efficient in prolonging life." ”
"The eldest daughter-in-law has a heart, she is still sick, but she still hangs on her wife." Lin said, asked the box to be closed, and took it down to register.
After Mama Liang instructed the maid in the pantry to serve tea and refreshments, she took the red plums that had not yet been pruned in Lin's hands and moved them aside to trim and insert the bottles.
