Chapter 278: Sorting Out the Current Situation
Tielingwei is such a person, although some news is not well known, but Shen Congjun was once a thousand households, and Shen Ou was one of the thirteen hundred households. Zheng Zhi still believed what the old man said.
Could it be that Guo Pu only remembered to demote and assign himself, but did not check Liaodong's roster? Zheng Zhi was uneasy, but he didn't break it, took Gu Yao's cold hand, and said calmly: "It's cold outside, let's go into the house." ”
Although the main house is not as warm as the ordinary house, it is many times stronger than the outside. I couldn't see it clearly, so the old man lit the oil lamp first. In the dim light, the old man really saw Gu Yao's appearance clearly, and immediately kowtowed to Gu Yao firmly. Without waiting for Gu Yao to say anything, he ran to the West Chamber to greet his mother-in-law.
His mother-in-law kowtowed with tears in her eyes, and muttered in a panic: "This room is too cold, I, I'm going to burn the kang." ”
Yu Niang immediately said: "Auntie wait for me, I am from Fengcheng, and cooking on the kang is no problem." ”
Zheng Zhi ordered the others: "You go to the East Chamber to settle." ”
After they were busy, the old man asked Gu Yao with a sigh: "Is Lord County Cheng okay?" ”
County Cheng? Gu Yao looked at the old man suspiciously.
The old man's face was not very good, if it weren't for Gu Yao's benefactor who looked very much like him, he would have doubted Gu Yao's identity. However, the old man immediately remembered that maybe the benefactor had been promoted, so he explained: "The county lord is the second master of the Gu family, if you are the fifth girl, your father is at that time." ”
Only then did Gu Yao know who he was asking, and he was even more curious, coughed, and said: "My father has been promoted to Wanping Zhixian a long time ago, since I can remember, and now he is the same knowledge of Shuntianfu. Grandpa, also a member of the Gu family? ”
"I don't deserve to be called like this by the fifth girl! The two old decay are Wanping people, and when they were in distress, they were county officials, oh, it was the adults who saved us. What kind of acquaintance is the adult now, it's bigger than the county, right? Big is good, big is good. Adults are good people, and good people are rewarded. The old man kept nodding his head and sighing.
Wanping people, appear here.
Gu Yao suddenly realized that the reason why Aunt Shen was able to find Shen Ou back then was that her father not only released people, but also arranged servants to follow. My father is so good, just because that Shen Ou is good-looking, do you abandon your husband and daughter? Gu Yao was depressed, and really wanted to ask that Shen Yanru for clarification.
When the old man saw Gu Yao's face change, he wondered in his heart. I didn't say anything, why did the five girls suddenly rise?
Zheng Zhi and Gu Tongzhi have talked deeply, and they know more details about the past than Gu Yao. As far as the identity of this old man is concerned, he knows it clearly. Aunt Shen's color is good, the woman with a good color goes north, and she can arrive safely all the way, this old man is not only from Wanping, but also from the original Beiping Mansion, belonging to Emperor Jianwen, both of them are good hands.
To tell the truth, Zheng Zhi thinks that he can't be as kind as his father-in-law. not only released people, but also arranged the way back - he couldn't do it, he didn't agree, let alone Gu Yao, who had no impression of his biological mother?
So, Zheng Zhi said: "Yao'er, people die like lights going out." My father-in-law doesn't mind anymore, why don't you let go of your aunt and let go of yourself? ”
The old man understood, but he smiled, and in Gu Yao's displeased gaze, he said: "Mrs. Shen said, although you look like an adult, you still have a lot of temperament like her, and you will definitely hate her, sure enough." ”
Like a ghost!
Gu Yao said lightly: "I'm very busy, my lover can't have time, what do you do if you hate an outsider?" It's just not worth it for my dad. One thing she said was right, I really didn't look like my dad, but I didn't like her either. I'm a man who holds grudges. Our couple will arrange accommodation as soon as possible, and we will pay you for the room in a few days. By the way, you just said that there is no shortage of 100 households in Tielingwei, what do you mean? ”
This is the right matter, Zheng Zhi listened intently.
The old man said everything he knew: "Tieling said that there are two thousand households, but in fact there are only 1,000 people, a total of 1300 households. Among the 100 households, only two of the 100 households were full, and the others were about half. There is also a hundred-house with only thirty people. Even if it is a hundred households with thirty people, one hundred households is made by someone. ”
Zheng Zhidao: "When did this news come about, are you sure that there has been no change?" ”
The old man said confidently: "Tielingwei is such a small person, no matter what he does, he can't make a big deal." Therefore, the main focus of these thousand people is in Tuntian. And now it's October, until March of the next year, Tielingwei is the situation outside, and everyone has nothing to do except try to live. There will be no personnel changes except in exceptional circumstances. ”
Zheng Zhi was already uneasy in his heart.
Not to mention whether there is a place for a hundred households for himself, it is such a place, which is not at all different from the big camp where he used to stay. How to make achievements in such a place, how to ......
Gu Yao sensed his uneasiness, so he said to the old man: "Having said that, we can come here in October, and there may be any changes. We've brought a few people over, and the old man will lead them to find out the latest news tomorrow, okay? ”
Zheng Zhi heard it and asked Gu Yao: "What do you mean, don't you go to Hou Qianhu to report first?" ”
Gu Yao said as a matter of course: "Yes, why are you looking for him?" Does he know we're here today? ”
The old man coughed and said, "Lord Qianhu, you should be able to know." In this place of Tieling, there are not a few waves of people in a year. Five girls, there are a lot of people. ”
Gu Yao said: "But what we are talking about is that according to Shen Qianhu's instructions, we will collect the Shen family's house." ”
Only then did Zheng Zhi know why Gu Yao said a panic casually when he asked for directions. It turns out that it's not casual.
"Closing the house?" The old man pondered for a moment and said, "This is true. Shen Qianhu said before that this house is not the house in Fengcheng, if the five girls or adults want it, they must give it. Because, these two houses were built by Mrs. Shen with the silver money given by the adult. ”
Gu Yao raised his hand and stopped the old man, because he said: "Although the Gu family is not rich, there is no reason to take back what is given and the person who is given." I just said, borrow, I will pay the money. You can also ask for food, but you can only give it after the spring road is good. ”
While talking, Yu Niang and the old woman made a big pot of meals, and added a plate of mushroom scrambled eggs to Gu Yao and Zheng Zhi. Although Gu Yao was in a bad mood, he drank corn paste in a big gulp, and ate very much.
"Only when you have enough food can you have the strength to resist the wind, snow and cold."
The old man reported his family and his surname was Wen. Wen Laohan is not as big as it seems, but he is actually only forty-six. His mother-in-law was even younger, forty-five. Although the two look old, their hands and feet are still sharp.
Yu Niang saw it in her eyes and worried in her heart. Gu Yao and the old man's conversation, she only listened to a few ears, Wen Pozi's mouth was strict, she didn't come out of anything, and she didn't know the relationship between Gu Yao and the old man. When serving Gu Yao to rest, while Zheng Zhi was away, she hurriedly asked Gu Yao: "Although Madam and Shen Qianhu are old acquaintances, it is not appropriate to occupy his family's house so much, right?" ”
Gu Yao thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "Tell you a secret." ”
Yu Niang listened to Gu Yao's words, "My biological mother died two years ago. This house was built with the money my father gave her when she left Shuncheonfu. She still has to give me the house when she is dying, do I lack these rooms? I don't want it! ”
