Chapter 142 Climbing the Hou Mansion
"Master Hou, are you coming to Huaining County for official business or private trip?" In Gu Yin's carriage, Han Beiqing looked at someone who was closing his eyes and recuperating, and inquired cautiously.
"If you are on official business, you will naturally be accompanied by a state official. If not, it's a private tour. I happened to meet it today, and it can be regarded as a foreign acquaintance. What is Miss Han panicking about?!" Gu Yin opened his eyes, and a pair of dark and bottomless eyes made people unable to see through.
Han Beiqing said in his heart: Of course, if you don't do bad things, you are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. My cheap old lady has been making rumors about your Hou Mansion all day long, I'm afraid the news has already reached the capital. If you want to say you don't know anything, I have to believe it.
But Gu Yin didn't break it, and Han Beiqing didn't dare to take the initiative to mention it. The silence in the carriage was embarrassing, and Han Beiqing took the initiative to find a topic: "Is Xiao Shizi okay?"
Gu Yin looked at Han Beiqing, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly: "Aren't you two communicating every day? He'll tell you anything, and if it's not good, he'll be the first to sue you."
"There are delivery shops in Qishan County, and communication is very convenient. Since coming to Huaining County, we have been in contact with less. It is not uncommon for a letter to reach me in two or three months." Han Beiqing lowered his head and muttered in a low voice: "The official delivery is very fast, but it's not good to trouble the official delivery for trivial matters."
"Daddy has already caused criticism for being a county magistrate, so it's hard to abuse his power anymore."
Gu Yin glanced at Han Beiqing and laughed secretly: This girl really has a lot of eyes, and she told herself a lot of points in a few words. First, he did not cling to the prince of the Hou Mansion, let alone take the opportunity to inquire about the privacy of the Hou Mansion; second, the Han family did not fake public welfare and did not dare to embarrass him; Third, Han Yi is a county that has caused local officials to be excluded.
Seeing that Gu Yin was silent, Han Beiqing looked at the street scene outside and had deviated from her home. I couldn't help but ask, "My lord, where are we going, this is not the direction I am going to my house."
"Lotus Lane." Gu Yin glanced at Han Beiqing: "I live in Lotus Lane."
Han Beiqing went through the map in his mind and made sure that the lotus lane was not too far away from his home. It's just that Gu Yin is such a big marquis, and he doesn't know whether the original owner gave him this house or lent it to him to live.
When he came to Lotus Lane, Han Beiqing stood in front of the house and got out of the carriage.
Seeing the ordinary Ruyi in front of the door, Han Beiqing looked at Gu Yin with some surprise: "Live here?"
Gu Yin nodded, made a "please" gesture, and smiled and invited Han Beiqing into the house.
Looking at the high wall outside, Han Beiqing thought that there was something else in the courtyard. But I found that this is an extremely quiet small courtyard, and the repair is very simple and open.
It doesn't look like Hou Ye's foothold, it's too simple. Han Beiqing didn't know what to say after watching it for a long time, Gu Yin's sense of presence was too strong, and he really didn't talk much.
"Master Hou invited me here, it's not like it's a reminiscence, but what do you have to order?"
Han Beiqing didn't want to delay time, and he didn't dare to stay with this one longer.
"Miss Han is so anxious that she doesn't even drink a cup of tea?" Gu Yin glanced at Han Beiqing and chuckled, "Your little maid ran out to have fun while she was buying water. You're thirsty, aren't you?"
Han Beiqing followed Gu Yin into the front hall, and explained with a light smile, "I won't punish people for not drinking water. And I'm not very thirsty."
After taking a seat, Gu Yin waved his hand, and a maid came in with a teacup.
Knowing that Han Beiqing was busy with business, Gu Yin was not verbose. Directly told Han Beiqing the reason why he appeared in Huaining County.
"The southwest border is not restless, there are Nanban outside, and there are water bandits inside. I suspect that the two are closely linked, and this is precisely what I am going south for." This is a national event, Han Beiqing can't be busy at all, do you want Han's father to do things?
Han Beiqing stared at Gu Yin with a pair of eyes and looked at Gu Yin intently.
"I sent two waves of spies to the south before, and they were all destroyed. The appearance of a person with a face is too attention-grabbing. I want to borrow the girl's hand and set up a game."
Gu Yin stared at Han Beiqing, her eyes were deep, and she said that she was a request, but her tone did not allow her to refuse.
"If that's the case, you know that there is no free pork belly in the world." Han Beiqing sighed in her heart, she knew that the Hou Mansion was unattainable. I thought
Hurry up and make money, and return the thousands of taels of silver tickets given by Gu Yin.
But she never thought that since she saved Dun Ge'er, she has already been on the thief ship.
Does she have a position to refuse? Does she dare to say a word?
"Master Hou, don't worry, no matter what the sword mountain and the sea of fire, I will definitely go all out." Han Beiqing hurriedly expressed his attitude, with a tone of full support.
"The idea of a fuel truck is very good, and after a while, we can try to make a county-to-county oil truck. The people I left behind, you can use whatever you want. If you don't have enough money, you pay it out of your account."
The more arrogant Gu Yin was, the heavier Han Beiqing's heart sank. She knew very well that she had reached the point where she was using her little girl as a cover. Then there must have been heavy losses before, and the opposing camp did not enter.
"My dad was very timid and incapacitated. The seat of the county is still unknown, and I don't know if I can sit firmly. If Master Hou has other things, he can send more capable people, but he can't."
Gu Yin saw that Han Beiqing mistakenly thought that he wanted to reuse Han Yi, and his slender fingers shook: "Han Yi's ability is insufficient, but you can."
Han Beiqing was stunned: "Me?"
"I'm a little girl, just trying to earn some dowry money. Vision, knowledge, and experience are all insufficient, although I don't know if I can help Hou Ye. I just hope that Master Hou won't blame me for my lack of ability, and I will make trouble."
Han Beiqing took retreat as advance, and ugly words were ahead. I don't expect to make a lot of money with Gu Yin, I just hope that if there is a failure or a mistake, he can let himself go.
"Don't worry, I won't involve your family. Just by your hand in business, my people."
Gu Yin sat on the Taishi's chair and looked at Han Beiqing, who was uneasy and wanted to excuse himself but had no courage below.
He smiled coldly: "Everyone knows that your Han family is from my Wuyang Marquis Mansion. If you mess too badly, won't you slap me in the face?"
Han Beiqing's heart trembled, and sure enough, Gu Yin still knew what Wang Sanniang had spread. The people in the officialdom are all human spirits, and they have long been verified through various channels. I'm afraid that Gu Yin even knows exactly what color clothes Wang Sanniang is wearing and which lady she bragged about.
"I will ask my aunt to be cautious in her words and deeds, and never brag to others in the future and ruin the reputation of the Hou Mansion." Han Beiqing lowered his head tightly, looking embarrassed.
"That girl next to you......
Speaking of Xinrui, Han Beiqing felt even more embarrassed and embarrassed. A maid was forced by her to jump into the river, and I am afraid that the whole Huaining County will know that she is mean at this time.
"I, I'll reprimand her when I go back. I won't let her be unruly." Before Han Beiqing could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Gu Yin.
"You're too soft-natured, and you don't have the means to be a royal servant. It's not enough to learn from the old slaves."
It seems that Gu Yin knows everything about the situation in Han Beiqing's family.
"The folk girl was born in the countryside, and she has never used a subordinate, and she doesn't know how to control it. And he has been poor for a long time, and he doesn't know how to do business. It's impossible to do things and employ people, which makes Hou Ye smile."
I'm so useless, you can quickly retract your thoughts and find other capable people to do things. I can't afford to use your big Buddha.
Gu Yin saw through Han Beiqing's little trick and chuckled, "That's very good. Punch the master to death, what you do is something that others can't think of. My people will surely do twice the result with half the effort in your hands."
Han Beiqing wailed in his heart, what kind of trouble is this?
