Chapter Seventy-One: Use Your Brain
"Yes, Zhou Gongzi is the God of Wealth, as long as you open your mouth, Zhou Gongzi will do it for you in a word." Bai Lu couldn't help but laugh and arched the fire, if he couldn't speak on the front line of eating melons, he would really suffocate people.
"No, it's reluctantly." Song Qian didn't know that Bai Lu already knew everything about his mind, and he was still racking his brains to find excuses.
He suddenly regretted being the light bulb.
It's really a trick for others and for yourself.
But fortunately, the government was already close at hand, and Song Qian hurriedly changed the topic and said, "I will be at the government office soon." ”
Bai Lu could vaguely see a town gradually appearing in the rain, and the watchtowers on both sides were empty, only the red flags fluttering in the wind.
In the center of the red-walled and black-tiled city wall hung a plaque with the word "glass" on it, and the red-lacquered wooden door was wide open, and there were a few guards chatting by the door, but no one entered or exited.
"Who's coming?" The guards saw Bai Lu and his party, few people would go out on such a rainy day, let alone in this troubled world.
In addition, the configuration of these people is really strange, a suave boy wearing a hat, a little guy with a banana leaf on his head, plus a man in black and a little girl holding an umbrella together.
How do you look at it, how don't you look like a serious person.
So although they can't just let it go, they are too derelict in their duties.
Zhou Pengfei's long entourage was like returning home, and the momentum of the whole person was different, he hurried a few steps to the city gate first, took out a token from his waist, and waved it to the guards with his chin raised.
"Blind your dog's eyes, my son-in-law doesn't know me?"
Several guards looked at the token, and then at Zhou Pengfei, the only one worthy of the title of Gongzi, and hurriedly stood the spear in his hand on the ground and said, "Gongzi Zhou, it's rude." ”
Zhou Pengfei didn't put up a fight, and smiled at these people: "Where is my father?" ”
"Master Zhou sent someone to pass the word, if Gongzi Zhou arrives, just go straight to the mansion, and he will stay there for the time being." One of the older guards said respectfully, and did not forget to hand the oil-paper umbrella beside him to Zhou Pengfei's entourage.
"Zhou Gongzi still pays more attention to his body, this weather is very cold."
Chang Sui was also not polite, and recruited all the umbrellas handed over by the guards, and let out a hum from his nose.
"Thanks, I'll have someone send it back later." Zhou Pengfei waved his hand at them casually and was about to enter Guili, and Chang Sui had already thrown down the banana leaves and held up an umbrella and waited for him.
"Zhou Gongzi is polite." The guards hurriedly waved their hands and welcomed Zhou Pengfei and the others into the city with a smile.
Bai Lu followed behind Zhou Pengfei without any interrogation, and the customs clearance documents she had prepared were useless.
"I remember that your family is famous in Reed City, why is it so good here?"
"Our Zhou family's business is all over the country, but the old man was not in good health a few years ago to cultivate in Reed City, but you go outside to inquire, who doesn't know our Zhou family?" Chang Sui proudly answered for Zhou Pengfei, and walked on the streets of Guili, talking more.
This stubble was not mentioned in the book, after all, Yan Ya did not escape with Zhou Pengfei at that time, and she never thought that the Zhou family would be more influential than she imagined.
But the heirs of such a family, even if they are stepfamilies, there are many women who want to fight for them.
Yan Ya, a girl from four villages, how did she get into Zhou Pengfei's eyes?
I really haven't talked about this in the book.
"In that case, why does Master Zhou borrow the mansion, don't you have a house here?" Bai Lu admired the antique buildings on both sides of the road and sighed at the bleakness of the scenery.
This Guili is a big city, the roadside is corniced mahogany, some shops hang signs that are closed, some directly pile up a pile of rags at the door, and some have a large open door, and the inside is empty.
The only shop with its doors open is a rice shop.
"The master saves, and unnecessary expenses will naturally not be used indiscriminately, otherwise how can he earn such a big family business." Chang Sui replied to Bai Lu's words, and was also attracted by this depressed scene.
"Why are so many shops in ruins? It wasn't like that before. ”
"The heat wave of the past few days was not a joke, coupled with the banditry on Reed's side, many people fled here, and the emotional destructiveness of extreme panic is very great." When Zhou Pengfei said this, his expression was more serious than ever.
Song Qian remained silent, but when he heard Zhou Pengfei say this, he couldn't help but look at him more.
Was it too superficial for him to investigate, this man may be hiding more than he thought.
"Childe, how can you talk as if you have seen it with your own eyes?" Chang Sui couldn't help but complain, obviously Zhou Pengfei has been staying with him these days, and he hasn't gotten information from other channels, why can Zhou Pengfei know so much?
"It's with your own eyes, with your brain." Zhou Pengfei and his parents were also very happy when they started a verbal fight, and there was no disdain and impatience in their tone.
"If the little one has a brain, he can't memorize the thousand-character text for so many years." Chang Sui is not ashamed, and he is straightforward.
"Yes, I can't memorize a thousand-word text, but a stone memory of tens of thousands of words will come as soon as I open my mouth." Zhou Pengfei glared at Chang Sui with a smile, and then looked at Bai Lu.
"When you settle down, why don't you stay overnight in the government first?" The rain was too heavy, and when he met the old man, he still had something to discuss, and he might not be able to rush back today.
It is really ungraceful to let Bai Lu walk on this rainstorm by herself.
"Let's talk about it." Bai Lu hesitated.
On the one hand, the rain is indeed too heavy, and she wants to pull some more people to settle in Changxian Mountain, which may take a long time. But on the other hand, if she doesn't return overnight, I don't know what the Bai family will worry about.
Zhou Pengfei didn't let Bai Lu decide at this time, but he always liked to arrange things in advance, so he mentioned it.
"It's Zhou Gongzi who is back!" As soon as they arrived at the mansion, before they could go up the steps, the guards standing on both sides of the stone lion saw these people.
"Long time no see." Zhou Pengfei smiled and waved his hand at several people, as if he had returned to his home.
"Master Zhou will not be in the mansion, Gongzi Zhou will go to bathe and change into clean clothes first, right?" The guard and Zhou Pengfei seemed to be extremely familiar, and they patted Zhou Pengfei on the shoulder while talking.
"It's too small, isn't it?" The guard lowered his voice and leaned into Zhou Pengfei's ear, and his eyes glanced at Bai Lu behind him.
"Don't talk nonsense, it's not like that." Zhou Pengfei stretched out his hand and hammered the guard's back, coughing lightly.
"Uncle Sun is here, she is here to settle down."
"Yes, you take her there." A trace of embarrassment appeared on the guard's face, and then he returned to normal, letting another person take Bai Lu into the mansion, and he followed Zhou Pengfei to the backyard of the mansion.
"Girl, you can sit down and have a cup of tea first, and I'll go find Master Sun." The guards who led Bai Lu led her to a room, guided her to sit down and poured a cup of tea, and then ran out to find someone.
