Chapter 676: Prevarication
They have already reported their home, this little guy didn't even say a word, and actually locked the door of the Qincha appointed by the imperial court, is this Yi family trying to do the opposite?
Mingmo was indignant in his heart, but Gu Chengyu looked calm.
"Wait, it's coming."
Since I took the post, it means that Yi Fu didn't dare to do too much.
He is a messenger appointed by the emperor, and he still has a royal gold medal in his hand. As soon as the gold medal comes out, if the emperor comes in person, who dares not to give face?
Unless you want to rebel, you can wait to destroy your family! The majesty of the emperor is inviolable.
Sure enough, just a few breaths later, the door opened.
Hula came out a large crowd, and at the front, an old man about fifty years old, led the people to the carriage.
He didn't wait for Mingmo to ask, and immediately led everyone to kneel on the ground.
He shouted in his mouth: "Yi Clan's Patriarch Yi Yanshan led the Yi Clan people to meet Lord Qincha!" ”
Gu Chengyu raised his eyebrows, but there was coldness in his eyes.
This Yi clan patriarch is a shrewd person, look at this style, I don't know which royal family should be here!
Gu Chengyu lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage.
An arrow stepped forward to support Yi Yanshan, "Patriarch Yi, what is this doing?" Everyone, please get up! ”
"My lord, just now the concierge was ignorant, and he was very neglectful to the adults, please also invite the adults Haihan!"
Yi Yanshan glanced up at Gu Chengyu, with apprehension on her face.
"It's okay, this is the official's. I heard that Yifu has recently closed its doors to thank customers, and this official has taken the liberty to come to disturb him, which is really a bit inappropriate. The patriarch of Laoyi greeted him personally, and the official was not happy to go. ”
Gu Chengyu smiled and helped the Yi clan leader up, and the Yi clan people behind them all got up and stood still.
"What did you say? When adults come to Hejian Mansion, Yifu should have swept the couch to greet them. It's a pity that a few clansmen in the mansion have recently contracted a cold, which will inevitably infect others, so they are closed. ”
Yi Yanshan had already thought of a rhetoric, otherwise in broad daylight, she would not be able to say goodbye to the guests.
Although everyone knows the reason, this big picture must always be taken into account!
It's just that for Gu Chengyu's arrival, Yi Yanshan was very surprised.
This Lord Gu has been in Hejian Mansion for a long time without moving, and he thought that the other party was at a loss for this matter, who would have thought that the other party would take the initiative to attack.
He thought of the news he found out yesterday, saying that the Yan clan invited Gu Chengyu to visit the lake, and he couldn't help but secretly scold the Yan clan elders for being cunning in their hearts.
It must have been that old man who asked people to say something in front of Lord Gu, otherwise why did Lord Gu suddenly enter the door of the Yi family?
"Oh? I see! Gu Chengyu smiled and was noncommittal.
"Look at the old man's memory, please come in, so that the old man can do his best to be a landlord!"
Yi Yanshan respectfully gestured to please, and then the clansmen all stepped out of the way, waiting for Gu Chengyu to enter.
"Haha! Since Patriarch Yi was warmly invited, it is better for this official to be respectful than to obey his fate! ”
Gu Chengyu glanced at Mingmo, Mingmo stepped forward and pulled Lu Chen, and the two followed behind.
Lu Chen secretly rolled his eyes, he sometimes felt that Gu Chengyu's skin was much thicker than his.
Looking at the brown round-necked robe on his body, Lu Chen couldn't help but feel depressed.
In the end, he still pretended to be a little servant, and his dignified son of the Marquis Zhan Yuan's mansion became his personal servant Gu Chengyu.
After entering the Yi Mansion, Gu Chengyu followed the Yi patriarch to the outer courtyard of the long house.
"This official will go to visit the old lady in the house first!"
When he came to the door for the first time, Gu Chengyu also prepared a small gift, and he naturally wanted to pay a visit to the elders of Yifu.
"Lord Gu is polite, the old lady took the female dependents of the family to the Handan Temple yesterday to eat fast and recite the Buddha, I'm afraid it will take two days to return."
The old lady is naturally the mother of Patriarch Yi, as for whether she went to burn incense and worship the Buddha, Gu Chengyu didn't know.
He hadn't heard the wind before, and he hadn't figured out the purpose of Patriarch Yi yet.
Didn't you send all the female dependents away? Could it be that he Yi is planning to compete with those people? It seems that Yi's picture is not small!
"Oh? That's really unfortunate, then when the old lady returns home, the official will come to visit again! ”
Yi Yanshan, who was walking on the side, frowned slightly when he heard this, but he returned to normal in just an instant.
As Gu Chengyu thought, Yi Mansion looked big from the outside, but in fact, it was separated into a small courtyard inside.
As soon as he entered the Yi Mansion, Gu Chengyu saw the constraints of the Yi Mansion from the layout of the outer courtyard.
The population of Yi Fu is quite large, with a total of five rooms living together. These five rooms are all out of five suits, and there are already four generations of children and grandchildren, but they are still crowded together.
It is conceivable how poor the Yi Mansion is, and he can't even afford the money for the juniors to go out and reopen the mansion.
A few people sat down in the study according to their priorities, and a girl came in and served tea.
As soon as he exchanged a few words of greeting, Gu Chengyu asked about the treasure map.
"Patriarch Yi, let's all open the skylight and speak brightly. The official came here today for the treasure map. ”
Gu Chengyu was impatient and thought of a snake and decided to get straight to the point.
Lu Chen, who was standing behind, glanced at Gu Chengyu in surprise, Gu Chengyu actually said his purpose as soon as he came up, how could this Yi patriarch admit it?
"Alas! Since the adult is outspoken, the old man naturally does not dare to hide anything from the adult. You don't know, when he first learned about this treasure map, the old man was also excited, and he had an exclusive mind. Don't tell you, you just entered the mansion and saw what the situation is like in the Yi Mansion now. ”
Yi Yanshan said with a sad brow, and her tone was even more gloomy.
"Originally, our Yi family was a famous family, and our ancestors naturally left a lot of inheritance. But in the past few decades, no one has entered the clan, and the management is not good, and it has long been a gold and jade, and it is ruined, that is, the name of a famous family is empty! ”
Yi Yanshan said so sincerely that Gu Chengyu nodded again and again when she heard it.
Regardless of Yi Yanshan's purpose in saying this, he is telling the truth at this time.
Seeing Gu Chengyu nodding in agreement, Yi Yanshan was a little settled in her heart.
"When we first got the news of the treasure map, our house was overjoyed. Thinking that if he could get the treasure map, it would definitely improve the current situation of the Yi clan and make the life of the children in the clan better. It's a pity."
The first thing was impeccable, and then there was a twist.
Gu Chengyu knew that it was impossible for the Yi clan to hand over the treasure map so easily, so he was not surprised.
"Oh? What is a pity? Patriarch Yi might as well say it directly. ”
Gu Chengyu put down the tea bowl and looked at the Yi clan patriarch who was complaining to him in front of him.
"It's a pity that our Yi family's ability is limited, and we didn't keep the treasure map, which has been robbed by others. So when you come to Hejian Mansion, our Yi family is embarrassed to appear in front of you, there is no treasure map to offer, and Yi is really ashamed. ”
Yi Yanshan peeked at Gu Chengyu's reaction, saw Gu Chengyu was shocked, and then her eyes were full of suspicion, and she couldn't help but be secretly happy in her heart.
"What the hell is going on? Please also ask Patriarch Yi to inform me in detail. ”
