Chapter 57: Inn 03
Hu Yue Inn.
When we moved in, I found that this inn is not simple, not only is the location very private, you need an insider to guide you to find the outside, but the building is also a very old house.
After walking in, I found that the depression on the outside was just a decoration, but in fact, there was really something inside. The bronzes of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the stone carvings of the Han Dynasty, the calligraphy and paintings of the Tang Dynasty, you can think of everything here.
The gray tunic was the waiter here, and it was he who waited for us at the exit of the mountain road, and then conveyed the words Guo Yu gave me, so we appeared here.
In the corridor, there is a precious calligraphy and painting every three steps, according to the man in gray, in this three-entry courtyard, on the surface we see are worthless, there are many more.
My heart says it's worthless? In this front yard, I estimated that a random stone from the ground was worth more than 100,000 yuan, which was a rare jade rough.
"Guo Yu is your boss?" I asked.
The man in gray nodded with a smile, "Yes, but he usually doesn't show up, and not everyone has a chance to come in this inn." ”
Although he spoke with a smile, but this smile hid a sharp ice blade, if he hadn't known in advance the purpose of this Guo Yu sending someone to pick us up, at this moment, this look of his would make me think that I was a lamb to the slaughter.
"Who is Hu Yue?" I asked him.
The man in gray was very polite to guide us, and after hearing my words, he smiled slightly, "Hu Yue is our old lady's name." ”
"Old lady?"
"Yes, Mrs. Guo now lives in Nanjing, and she was ...... some time ago."
"Uncle Qiang, who are these two? How did you come to this Yuyuan, don't you understand the rules of the inn? ”
It was a young girl about twenty years old, who was beautiful, but the momentum of no one in her eyes was annoying.
The man in gray immediately bowed to her, "Miss, these two are researchers from the Qinling Research Institute. ”
"Researcher?" She glanced at us haughtily, "Hmph, do you study the old lady?" Guo Yu is starting to act now, what a positive! ”
"This old lady hasn't breathed yet, is he doing this when we are all dead?"
The man in gray was still smiling, and he replied, "Miss, this is serious. ”
"Okay, you breathe out of the same nostril with Guo Yu, let me ask you, what about others?"
The man in gray continued to smile and replied: "The boss is meeting guests in the conference room, I'm afraid it will ......"
"Alright, I'll go find him." As she passed by us, she suddenly stopped, looked at me, smiled like a fox, and said to the man in gray, "Are they really from the Qinling Research Institute?" Hmph, the best really. ”
After watching her walk away, the gray-clothed man immediately changed his face, which was the standard demeanor of receiving and welcoming guests, "Two of you, please go this way." ”
The second into the yard is more luxurious, the rockery in the courtyard is a rare encounter in the millennium of the best Taihu Lake stone, the grass next to it is also scattered with different sizes of jade rough stones, are rare to see the old pit glass species, of course, this is definitely not the ones we see on the market, but the real old pit, the real jade connoisseurs know, the old pit and the old pit are not the same, the pit of the millennium and the pit of 10,000 years that come out of the things are very different.
The four sides of the corridor carved beams and painted columns, the large and small murals on the wall are hard inlaid on, this look is in some places even the wall is brought back, Tang Sancai of the Tang Dynasty is placed in a corner of the garden at will, very layout, not like when the garbage piled up where.
"Your boss is so generous, these things are just placed here, and he is not afraid of destroying them in the wind and rain?" I say.
The man in gray smiled, "Don't get in the way, these things are worthless to us, and our boss has never liked them." ”
"Oh, I don't like it!" I looked around, "By the way, who was that grumpy guy just now?" ”
"This is the boss's sister."
I let out an "oh", and said in my heart that this Guo family is really messy enough, can't the big family inevitably come to this point? smiled helplessly, his own affairs are still a bunch, how can he have spare time to care about others?
Suddenly, Baiyun dragged me from behind, pointed to a little girl standing at the end of the corridor, and said, "Look. ”
"It's just this girl, what's wrong?"
"No, I'm not letting you see that child, I'm letting you see the tiger talisman in that child's hand."
As soon as he said this, I saw it clearly, and I couldn't help but gasp, "Why is this thing in her hand?" ”
"I don't know, it seems that this Guo family is much more complicated than we imagined, look at this girl's wrist, peony tattoo!"
"yes, maybe, this kid has some origins."
"That's right!"
We were both muttering quietly when the little girl suddenly rushed over and ran past us.
With a bang, the crimson tiger talisman fell right at my feet, and the little girl didn't seem to hear anything falling, and in a blink of an eye she turned around and disappeared.
I picked up the tiger talisman and handed it to the man in gray, "This kid's things have fallen, you can help keep them!" ”
The man in gray took the tiger talisman, and then led the way to the left, "The two of you go this way, there is the echo pool in front, and my boss is waiting for the two of you there." ”
After speaking, he turned around and left here, and after he left, Bai Yun and I looked at each other, "Could it be him?" ”
Bai Yun looked inside, "Maybe it is, but maybe not, have you noticed, this Guo family still maintains the feeling of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and there is a kind of nobility in every word and deed, which makes people feel a little indescribable." "Yes, except for the arrogant Miss Gao just now, the others, especially the person just now, showed a feeling of the deep mansion compound with their gestures."
Bai Yun subconsciously looked at the direction where the gray-clothed man left, "Fangzi, our Imperial Flower has already been obtained." "What do you mean, let's go to Lingyunding first?" I say.
Bai Yun nodded, "Can't you see it?" It's not easy here. “
I took a deep breath and looked up at the next day, "Things are linked one by one, if we don't untie them one by one, even if we go directly to the last ring, it won't help, anyway, it's been delayed for so long, I don't care about these days, besides, didn't you say that the laboratory was suspended because of the problem of the imperial flower?" “
Bai Yun rolled up his sleeves and looked at his arm, "That's what I said, but the Gu poison vaccine on our body can mature at any time, and when Jiang Yuan covered me out, he gave me an injection, although it can temporarily inhibit the growth of Gu worm seedlings, but it can't be delayed for too long." “
My mood became heavy, and just when I hesitated, Guan Yue walked out of it, and was obviously stunned when he saw the two of us, and then immediately smiled, like an old friend I hadn't seen for a long time, and patted me on the shoulder, "Fangzi, long time no see, where have you been lately?"
