Chapter 221: The Direction of Public Opinion
In the surprised eyes of everyone, the old man took out a bunch of keys from his arms, walked directly to the door, and then picked one out of them and directly opened the huge lock on the door.
He turned to everyone who was looking at him and said, "What are you doing, come in!" ”
With that, he turned around and pushed open the door of the house.
The gate was in disrepair and made an old creaking sound.
A group of people followed the old man into the courtyard with questions.
After entering the courtyard, the old man actually introduced the location and purpose of each room in the courtyard to everyone, as if he had entered his own home.
After finally walking into the main hall of the courtyard, the old man looked at the big wisdom characters hanging on the wall in the main hall, and the smile on his face gradually receded, turning into endless amazement.
Guo finally asked, "Old man, who are you?" How do you feel so familiar with this place? ”
The old man turned around and looked at Guo.
Luo Qingqian said on the side: "This is my mother." ”
The old man nodded, suddenly bent his knees, knelt directly in front of Guo's family, bent down and kowtowed, "Xiao Qizi has seen the hostess." ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, Guo Shi reacted and hurriedly reached out to help the old man, and Mu Yubin behind him stepped forward and helped the old man up for Guo.
Guo Shi hurriedly said: "Why did the old man make this big gift. ”
The old man looked up at Guo, and everyone realized that the old man was already full of tears.
He raised his hand and wiped his face with his sleeve, and said, "I was originally the original descendant of this house. The old man was seriously ill back then, and he told me to guard this courtyard and wait for the little master to come back. But ......," he said, again weeping.
Luo Qingqian understood that he knew that his father had died, and his heart became heavy.
However, she quickly forced herself to pull herself together and asked, "All these years, you have been taking care of this mansion?" ”
The old man nodded and said, "Back to the little lady, the old slave still cleaned the inside before." But then I got older, so I could only guard the outside and not let people destroy it. ”
Guo sighed: "Thank you for your hard work! ”
Luo Yunfeng had already ordered everyone to move things in at this time, and Mu Yubin also found that there was really not enough manpower, so he ordered people to go to the house to send people to help.
The old mansion of Luofu, which was originally lifeless, suddenly became lively.
Several servants were now tidying up the hall, and Guo and the others were now sitting down in the hall.
The old man seemed to be very happy, and he was full of energy and wanted to help clean up, but he was stopped by Luo Qingqian and others.
There are so many things to ask him.
Luo Yunfeng was the first to ask, "Old man, when did you come to this courtyard?" ”
The old man leaned half-on the chair and said respectfully: "Back to the little young master, the old slave has been working in this yard since he was nineteen years old. In fact, it should be said that he was picked up by the hostess to work in this yard. ”
When everyone heard this, they asked in detail and found out that this old man was a beggar when he was young, and he couldn't get money one winter, so he almost froze to death at the gate of Luofu.
At that time, Luo Qingqian's grandmother was already a flat wife and lived here. Seeing that he was really pitiful, let him stay in the house to help.
Later, Luo Qingqian's grandfather found out that he was very smart and clever, so he accepted him as a personal servant.
But I didn't want to be a few years later, Luo Qingqian's grandmother died of illness, leaving a little young master waiting to be fed.
Luo Qingqian's grandfather could only give up this mansion first for the sake of the child, and took the little young master, that is, Luo Qingqian's father, back to Luofu to live.
But the old man felt that he had an obligation to guard the house for the benefactor and master who had saved him, so he did not go to Luofu, but stayed.
When Luo Qingqian heard this, she thought for a while and said, "But, I heard that there is a problem with this house, aren't you afraid?" ”
The old man suddenly laughed when he heard this, and said with a hint of pride: "Little Miss, relax!" This house is very clean! As for those news, in fact, the master deliberately asked me to spread it, so that everyone would think that this was a haunted mansion and could not be bought. ”
"Grandfather doesn't want to buy this old house?"
"Yes," the old man sighed, "My lord has always had a deep affection for this, and I can clearly feel this. When the old man was seriously ill, he often came here, sometimes he didn't do anything, just sat quietly in the courtyard, and sat all day. ”
"And the old man said to me afterwards that this house will definitely belong to the little young master in the future, let me take care of the yard and wait for the little young master to come back."
When Guo and the others heard this, they sighed in their hearts.
You can imagine how much the old man wanted to leave this mansion to his son, to his son born to the woman he loved.
It's a pity that Luo Chengzhi didn't have this blessing and didn't wait for this day at all.
Luo Qing squeezed her mother's hand and said with a smile: "Mother, we are here, and my father is here." Grandfather's wish came true! ”
Luo Yunfeng also comforted: "Yes! This house is what my grandfather wanted to keep with us! Now that we're really here, we won't be leaving! ”
As he spoke, the subordinates sent by Mu Yubin to find had already arrived in the courtyard, and there were a group of subordinates from the palace brought by Fengyi behind him. And not long after, Guo Zirui personally rushed over with a group of people.
The originally depressed old mansion of Luofu was full of people in an instant, and there were too many servants to come in and out. And that's not all, Ouyang Yichen, who shouldn't have appeared here, actually brought someone to help.
As a result, the originally spacious house was crowded with people looking for work, and there were more than six people in each room who were busy.
The advantage of having a lot of people is that you can do it very quickly.
It only took half a day from moving in to finishing up, which made people's jaws drop.
Guo didn't know what to say at this time.
The courtyard was originally overgrown with weeds, but now not a single weed is missing, not a single grass clipping.
The windows of each room are bright and bright, and it doesn't look like it's been dusty for a long time.
The fire was already on in the kitchen, and several chefs showed off their skills and cooked a table full of dishes.
Sitting in the renovated hall, Guo thought he was dreaming.
Not only is it clean and tidy, but even the furniture has been replaced with the latest ones by the people brought by the wind wings.
Of course, the silver naturally did not cost less, but Feng Yi felt that he would not have any objections to doing so.
instructed his son to entertain Mu Yubin and the others, and Guo took his daughter back to the backyard.
The backyard has also been tidied up, and the earthy smell of the flower beds smells sweet to the smell.
Guo and his daughter sat in the room, this is Guo's room, and all the tables, chairs and benches have been replaced with new ones, which makes Guo sigh for a while.
"Qingqian, this will be our new home from now on." Guo Shi took his daughter's hand, his eyes a little moist.
"Hmm," Luo Qingqian was also a little excited.
Since the crossing, I have either shared a body with others, or I have been sending people under the fence, guarding against this and that.
In addition to feeling happier when I go to the store every day, it is extremely depressing to be in Luofu.
But now that the family is finally separated, and finally there is no need to say hello to an old lady who doesn't want to see him every morning, Luo Qingqian feels that happiness is so simple!
"Mother, you're tired for a day, eat more!" Luo Qing smiled lightly and gave her mother a dish.
Guo Shi was also pleased. The mother and daughter happily finished their first meal in the new house.
Luo Qingqian's side is lively and lively, but Luo Shangshu's side has some unusual taste.
What happened at the door this morning, Luo Shangshu didn't pay attention to it, and went straight to the court. Although You Shi felt that it was not quite right in his heart, he did not study it carefully.
As a result, when the time reached noon, rumors began to spread in the market, especially the lively and lively things of several waves of people on Luo Qingqian's side, which had already attracted the attention of some people.
In a teahouse, a man dressed as a coachman drank tea and said to a person next to him: "Hey, do you know, Luofu has broken up!" The fourth room of the Luo family was kicked out! ”
"Luofu? That Shangshu Mansion. Divide the family, divide the family, there is always this kind of thing in the big family, what is the fuss. ”
"You know what. The so-called separation of the Luo family is to kick out the four rooms of the Luo family. They hired my carriage early this morning. As a result, do you know that the eldest young master in the fourth room at the door went crazy! ”
"Why is that?"
"Hey, the Luofu family split was actually done when he wasn't at home, you say it's strange!"
The person next to him was also surprised: "What? There is just such a man in the fourth room, and he is not there in the family, so this is obviously bullying orphans and widows! ”
The coachman slapped his thigh and said, "Not really! You don't know what the mother and daughter of the fourth room looked like this morning, haggard and pitiful. I really don't know that a dignified Shangshu Mansion would do such a thing. ”
A person next to him sneered and said, "You are a person, you only know one and you don't know the other, and the four rooms are not fuel-efficient lamps." If it weren't for the second lady in the fourth room who didn't follow the etiquette, how could she make Luofu angry! ”
