Chapter 247: The Gu family is here
When Bai Shao got off the carriage, Linglong was knocking on the copper ring on the big red iron door, and above her head, there was a big plaque with two words "Wu Fu" written on it.
"Uncle Wu, open the door, open the door." Linglong crossed her waist and shouted at the house.
After about a dozen breaths, a trembling voice sounded in the mansion, "Is Miss Linglong back?" ”
Immediately after, the big red iron door was opened, revealing an old man who was almost old and trembling when he walked.
"Uncle Wu." Linglong shouted excitedly.
"Miss Linglong." The old man also shouted excitedly, "You're finally back." ”
"Yes, not only did I come back this time, but I also brought many friends, they have no place to live for the time being, so I invited them to live in Wu Mansion." Linglong smiled and pointed behind her.
As soon as the old man heard this, he saw so many people standing at the door, and the smile on his original face immediately froze.
After a moment, he whispered a little tremblingly, "Miss Linglong...... In this house, no one has cleaned it for two years, the weeds have grown waist-high as mine, and the cobwebs are so thick that they can't be poked with sticks, you ...... Are you sure you want people to move in? ”
Linglong's smile also froze, "Uncle Wu...... You...... Haven't cleaned the house in all these years? ”
"I'm an old man buried in loess to my neck, how can I have so much strength." The old man looked at Linglong with confidence, "If Miss Linglong doesn't go over to clean up, maybe she can still live." ”
Linglong's face suddenly looked like someone was choking her neck, red and swollen, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.
Seeing this, Bai Shao hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Linglong's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "Sister Linglong, in fact, we can live in the inn, just buy it in the yard." ”
"You don't know, Shao'er." Linglong said a little irritably, "This is Yanjing, at the feet of the Son of Heaven." Dayan is not rich in land, not as vast as Ruocang Zhou Guqiang, and because this is the foot of the Son of Heaven, everyone flocks to it, so the yard is tight, not a powerful family, and money can't buy a good yard. ”
"I see...... Bai Shao was a little stunned, "I didn't expect it to be like this no matter what era it is......"
"What do you say?" Linglong asked a little puzzled.
"No, I didn't say anything." Bai Shao shook his head, "Let's stay in the guest house first, seeing that it's getting dark, it's true to find a place to settle down first." ”
"That's all there is to it." Linglong sighed and looked at Bai Shao apologetically, "This matter is indeed my misconsideration, Uncle Wu is old, and he is the only one in the entire Wu Mansion...... Ay. ”
Bai Shao patted Linglong's hand, expressed understanding, and took the initiative to tell the family about Linglong's situation here.
The Bai family is a reasonable person, and they immediately agreed to go to the inn.
Because the Wu Mansion was really completely inhabitable, Linglong simply decided to follow to the guest house.
But just when everyone was about to get into the carriage to find the inn, suddenly a man ran over, stopped the carriage, and asked Zhao Long, "May I ask who is sitting in the carriage, but the family of Master Bai in Xieyang County." ”
"Yes and what, and what is not?" Zhao Long looked at the man with some vigilance.
The man was not angry, but still said with a straight look, "I have been instructed by the centurion of Baiyunshi to wait for a convoy from the north in the past few days, I don't know if you are not." ”
"It's Yunshi." When Bai Wei heard this, he hurriedly stretched out his head and said with some joy, "Yes, we are from the Bai family in Xieyang County." ”
"Yes." The man smiled with satisfaction, "I have noticed since your convoy entered the city, but I originally expected that you should go to the inn, but I never thought that you would come to the Wu Mansion, because I didn't dare to come rashly, and then I heard that you were going to the inn, so I came to ask again, but fortunately I didn't recognize the wrong person." In this way, Master Bai, Mrs. Bai, and the two young ladies, according to the instructions of the centurion of Bai Yunshi, have found a mansion for you, and now you can follow me. ”
After saying that, he strode ahead and led the way.
"Mother, have you heard, Yun Shi has found a yard for us." Bai Wei happily took Wu's hand and said.
"Yun Shi, this kid really has a heart." Wu Shi was also very happy.
It was Bai Shao, and after glancing at Linglong, a faint suspicion rose in each other's hearts.
First of all, the letter, although it was written in Bai Yunshi's tone, but the handwriting was not Bai Yunshi's handwriting, if it wasn't for the token of Bai Yunshi at the same time, maybe Bai Shao would not have come to Yanjing at all about the content of the letter.
The second is about the arrangement of the house, Bai Yunshi has only been a soldier for more than two years, even if he is promoted to the position of centurion, but it is a small identity in the barracks, how can he have such ability to help the Bai family arrange the house?
Thinking like this, Bai Shao wanted Zhao Long to stop, and then carefully inquired about the identity of that person.
But at this time, the man had stopped his steps, and pointed to a courtyard that was only half a street away from the Wu Mansion, and said loudly, "This is it." ”
Linglong was taken aback and whispered, "Back then, my father was able to have a courtyard here, all because of his credit. But how can your brother have a yard here? You must know that although Yanjing's yard is difficult to buy, it is also very much. For example, this street, because it is too close to the imperial city, it can be said that it is difficult to buy it even with money. Shao'er, it seems that there is something in this. ”
Bai Shao nodded lightly, frowning, and before she could speak, the man outside seemed to have guessed her thoughts, and said loudly, "The courtyard here is not the Yunshi brothers', but our general knew that his family came to Yanjing and specially lent it to him." ”
In this way, it is clear why Bai Yunshi can arrange the Bai family here.
Bai Wei got out of the car very happily, although Bai Shao still had faint doubts in her heart, she didn't say anything, and followed her sister out of the car.
However, Bai Chuanbai and Wu did not get off the carriage closely, but opened the curtain of the carriage, looked at the familiar mansion and the familiar plaque, and both shed tears.
"Quick, wipe dry, don't let the kids see it." Bai Chuanbai patted Wu's hand and said in a low voice, "It's not the time to say it's open, but it's not far away." ”
"Hey, hey...... It's been 10 years...... Finally back. It seems that the little boy he ...... He knows everything. Wu barely wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and choked up.
"Alas, Childe has grown up." Bai Chuanbai sighed, "Hurry down, child, don't let Shao'er see that something is wrong, she is so smart." ”
"Hmm." Wu nodded, and hurriedly got out of the carriage with Hongliu's men.
At this time, the man had already opened the door of the mansion and walked in on his own initiative.
Everyone in the Bai family also walked in, but Bai Shao and Linglong stood at the door, looking at the big plaque, and the chic and atmospheric word "Gu Fu" was stunned.
"This is the Gu Mansion...... Linglong was taken aback, leaned into Bai Shao's ear and whispered, "In this Yanjing, there can be a courtyard on the street near the imperial city, and the surname is Gu, that should be the Gu of the Gu family...... Shao'er, in my opinion, it may be your brother who has the blue eyes of General Gu Xiao......"
Bai Shao pursed her lips and did not speak.
Her natural instinct told her that there was no danger here, so she allowed her family to enter the house and settle down.
But her cautious personality made her feel that things would never be so simple, and now she just suppressed that doubt temporarily, and in time, she will definitely figure everything out.
"Let's go inside." Bai Shao glanced at the people of the Bai family who had already walked to the second gate, and strode to follow.
When he walked side by side with Wu's Bai Chuanbai and his wife, the red eyes of the two of them had returned to normal, and when they saw Bai Shao, Wu smiled softly, and then took her hand, and while walking, he reminded her to take a closer look at the house.
Look at this house?
Bai Shao looked left and right with some doubts, and found that although this Gu Mansion was large and clean, it revealed a smell of years everywhere.
It's like ...... It's like there's been no one living in a long, long time.
The house where someone lives has a lot of popularity, but there is no popularity here in Gufu, but it is very deserted.
That kind of coldness makes people feel distressed, as if there was laughter and warmth here.
However, the invasion of time has displaced the people here, making a warm house cold and lonely, and there is no longer the smell of fireworks.
It is like an abandoned old man, who has reached the twilight of his life, and is old and decaying. for a better user experience.
