Hearing this, Gu Pingzhong put down the account book in his hand, raised his head, and asked, "Little girl?" ”

The man said: "Yes, although I didn't have time to take a closer look, but look at the dress, I should only be in my teens, and it is a demeanor from everyone's background." ”

Gu Pingzhong couldn't help frowning.

The one he sent to inquire was an old man who had been a guy in the shop for decades and later became a steward, and the rest didn't dare to say that there would be no problem with their eyesight.

This person said that he was from everyone's background, and that girl must be a person with a background.

However, what kind of family is the Gu family? No matter how much money you have, it's just a merchant. Besides, I haven't heard of any little girls in the Gu family.

Could it be that this Gu Yanzhang went to other places, was alone, and he still got married?

If so, I don't know what the origin of the Yue family is, and whether it has been a big help.

Gu Pingzhong pushed the account book aside, grabbed the person who went to inquire about the situation and asked.

When he finished asking what he should ask, he was a little hesitant for a while.

No matter how credible it is, it is someone else's words in the end, and it is better to see it yourself directly. Besides, if they send people to inquire, they just look at words and looks, and ask others, and if there is a mistake, there is no place to verify.

The matter of the fifth child of the Gu family is really anxious, if it is too long, I am afraid that there will be some variables.

It's still necessary to take advantage of the early days, find an opportunity to come to the door tomorrow, and use the identity of the clan uncle to investigate.

Gu Pingzhong thought about it, and at the same time, hatred was born in his heart.

The whole Gu family is dead, this Gu Yanzhang can actually escape, jumping faster than a mouse, how can he just die halfway, it will cost him more time!

Not to mention Gu Pingzhong's various calculations on the one hand, on the other hand, Gu Yanzhang went to the yamen to register his name, and when he was waiting to get his household registration, he was not busy doing anything else, and it only took a day to go around the city.

Yanzhou City used to be very prosperous, and because of the convenience of foreign trade, money came much easier than elsewhere, and there were countless people with more than 10,000 family assets, and there were many other extravagant riches.

Gu Yanzhang turned around and found that the former center of Fang Street, after being rebuilt, is still the most prosperous area, but nine times out of ten, those shops and houses have changed their owners, and many of them have never even heard of the new owner's name.

He had been prepared, but he was not very surprised, and it was even more obvious when he saw several extremely famous shops in his house, and now they have changed their faces and used them for other purposes.

He didn't go to the yamen to inquire, he directly chose a teahouse where people came and went, picked a chair to sit on, and called Xiao Er over to ask about it.

The little second got a handful of copper coins from Gu Yanzhang, and he was happy to say a few words, and said busily: "I heard that it is the master of the family surnamed Gu, and I am also new to Yanzhou, I am not very familiar with this place, and I don't know the inside story, I only know that one should be a big family, there are many properties, his family lives in Tingyi Lane, and there is a younger brother who is doing Lizheng - I don't know about it." ”

He served tea to Gu Yanzhang, got a thank you from him, grinned, and said, "You're welcome!" I also saw him last time, the pomp was very big, I went to ask once, I happened to meet the guest officer today, and now I am learning and selling, and I am also bargaining. ”

Gu Yanzhang saw that he answered neatly, and gave a few more copper plates, and said with a smile: "He has so many properties, how can he have time to come here?" ”

While talking, he looked at the other side.

Xiao Er followed his gaze and couldn't help but smile, and said: "I can't complain that you can't look down on it, his shop is really small, and he only sells some food and drink fruits, and he can't get on the table, but when he came back, he went to see the place next to him, so he only came to sit on the way." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to a large scorched wall in the distance.

This is West Main Street.

The place he pointed to was the center of Yanzhou City, although it was now full of chaotic bricks and tiles, and it was very messy, but from the front to the back, a large area was connected.

Ordinary people may not be able to see how big this piece is with the naked eye, but Gu Yanzhang is very clear.

It is a total of eleven acres and eight points of land, a square plot, and there is no better one in the entire Yanzhou City.

This is where his father used to be the head of the shop.

It's so normal for such a good piece of land to be looked down upon. I just don't know which one it is, or which ones.

He had a number in his heart, and he didn't say much, and he didn't sit much, he only used a few things on the table casually, and featured a few snacks that Ji Qingling liked to eat, and asked the little two to wrap them in oiled paper and take them back together.

He was running outside, Ji Qingling was not idle in the inn, and found a few Chinese people to ask about the house market, only to find out the situation, send people away, and Gu Yanzhang came back.

Ji Qingling saw that his face was not very good-looking, so he hurriedly stood up and greeted him, and didn't say anything else, but asked, "Is it cold outside, but you ate at noon?" ”

Gu Yanzhang was full of thoughts, he really forgot to eat Chinese food, and only used some tea to eat in that teahouse, and he didn't even have a cushion at the bottom of his stomach, and when he heard Ji Qingling ask like this, he realized that he was hungry in his stomach.

Seeing his expression, Ji Qingling didn't care about saying anything, and hurriedly asked Qiu Yue to tell the cook to cook some food at will.

They chose a small courtyard in the inn, with two wings, enough for ten people, but there was no kitchen, so they had to borrow the inn to cook.

Fortunately, it is not a meal at this time, and it is not inconvenient to borrow the kitchen.

Although Gu Yanzhang's heart was not very happy, when he saw Ji Qingling at this time, no matter how much displeasure he had, he put it aside, and he said with a smile: "I have already gone to the yamen to register in the morning, and after a few days to get the household registration, we will hand in the grass post and the fixed post." ”

After saying this, he seemed to remember something, and hurriedly called Rosin in, asked him to put the few portions wrapped in oil paper on the table, and said to Ji Qingling, "Today I was eating tea outside, and I saw that there were bee sugar cakes and chestnut cakes for sale, as well as small flower cakes, you don't like to eat these days, I saw that he did a good job here, so I helped you bring some back, try it quickly, if you like it, I often go to his house to buy it next time." ”

Ji Qingling didn't know what to say.

This person doesn't remember to eat lunch, but he still remembers to bring pastries to his house.

She didn't want to frustrate his interest, so she pinched a small piece and tasted it carefully, and after trying it, she pointed to the small flower cake and said, "This is good, sweet but not greasy, a little bit of the flavor of the linjia fruit in it." ”

She glanced at the hour and knew that the kitchen might not be so fast, so she picked up the plate of the little flower cake and prepared to hand it to Gu Yanzhang, asking him to eat a bite and pad it.

Ji Qingling picked up the plate, turned his head to look, but Gu Yanzhang was grabbing a cloth towel and wiping his hands, seeing her holding a small plate in her hand, and seeing her movements, her eyes lit up, and said, "Tell me to eat it too." ”

As he spoke, he leaned his head over.

His movements were very natural, Ji Qingling was helpless, so he had to pinch a piece and feed him with his own hands.
