Chapter 35: Late Bloomers (Ask for Recommendations)
"Pull it down, you haven't seen a genius before?"
Xie Changan was disdainful.
"My sister is a genius. This grandson, who is so old and unproductive, is a genius and has a ghost. ”
"What if someone is a late bloomer? Li Fuyou said again.
"Where is he old? It's not that he hasn't been to the hut together, no matter how late he is, he can't be so late... Hey..."
Xie Changan looked at Li Fuyou, "Why are you talking crookedly?"
Gu Bai supported his forehead, which deserved to be the penultimate one.
He asked Li Fuyou, "Are you sure you are a fellow student of trouble?"
If we continue to talk, we may be in the same bed.
Li Fuyou stayed away from Xie Chang'an.
He approached Gu Bai, "Brother Gu, it's hard to thank you for your kindness, in this way, Ming'er and I will set up a table upstairs in the happy building, and we won't get drunk or go home." ”
"Happy Building, this is not necessary, right?"
Gu Bai wanted him to introduce business, not because he had to kill him for a meal.
There is still a big difference between getting something for nothing and earning something from it.
"Of course, if you don't want to go, invite us to a stewed meal. "The hook is on the side.
Gu Bai turned his head and glared at her, "You know how to eat, do you want to invite you to eat twice?"
Hook nodded, "That's fine." ”
"Then two?"
Gu Bai looked back at Li Fuyou.
"Lao Gu, I didn't say you, you are too short-sighted. ”
Xie Changan pointed at Li Fuyou, "Do you know who this is? Just listen to the name, you can know that he is a famous rich man in Yuhang City." ”
Mo said that after two meals of stew, even if he ate in Happy House for three days, Li Fuyou would not frown.
"Just let him please live happily. Xie Changan helped Gu Bai decide, "Isn't his life worth two happy buildings?"
Li Fuyou nodded, "That's it, my life can't just be worth three meals of stew." ”
"This..."Gu Bai was embarrassed, "That's okay, I'll go to Happy Building tomorrow night." ”
"Well, that's right. Xie Chang'an rubbed his hands.
After he came down from Nanshan Temple, he was busy tracking down Guapo, and he hadn't been to Happy House for a long time.
Of course, what is more important is that he saved three months of pocket money before he could go to the Happy Building.
Now that there is an opportunity to slaughter a big household, of course he will not let it go.
As they spoke, they stepped on a small bridge, opposite which was a verandah, built against the mountain, winding and dotted with lotus leaf ponds.
After dressing the verandah, a small lake appeared in front of them.
There is a pavilion in the center of the lake, in which dancers and maidservants stand, and on the table are used wine and food.
"Brother Xie, please. ”
Xian Yu pointed to a table that had been set up and asked Xie Changan to sit down.
As for Gu Bai and the others, Xian Yu waved his hand, "Come on, lead Gongzi Xie's people down to entertain them." ”
When Xie Changan heard this, he grabbed Gu Bai and walked to his seat, "Come, old Gu, let's sit together." ”
Xian Yu stopped him.
"Brother Xie, we are all scholars, how can we sit at the same table with the businessmen?"
"Lao Xian, don't be like this, Gu Gongzi is my life-saving benefactor. Li Fuyou came up to persuade.
"Alright. Gu Bai interrupted them, "This guy is so ugly, I don't bother to sit with him." ”
Xian Yu: "Bold, you dare to speak like this, I..."
"What am I, I?, in the name of a saint, we are together, do you dare to say that you are not ugly?" Gu Bai interrupted him.
The saint is the heaven of the scholar, Gu Bai moved out all the saints, Xian Yu naturally didn't dare to open his eyes and say nonsense.
"It's not that I'm ugly, it's that you're too handsome!" Xian Yu argued for himself.
Gu Bai smiled, "Thank you, I also think I'm too handsome." ”
"You!
Xian Yu was angry with the seven orifices of smoke.
"Don't think that if the son of the county order protects you, I won't dare to do anything to you!"
His sleeves shook, bringing up a gust of wind, and the shaking sword box popped out the long sword with a soft roar, and the silver light flashed, straight to Gu Bai's throat.
Gu Baimian did not change color.
But his right hand was on his left hand and he pulled at the wrapped white cloth.
Click!
The white cloth cracked, and the left hand popped out.
When!
Without waiting for Gu Bai's left hand to completely break free from the shackles, Wang Shouyi raised his sword and slashed Xian Yu's sword away.
Gu Bai's right hand stopped.
Like Xian Yu, Wang Shouyi is also in the realm of eight products.
The difference is that Wang Shouyi can only work on his legs and feet, does not read poetry and books, does not enter the country, is difficult to understand, and cannot practice.
"Your uncle, stinky fish, what are you doing?" Xie Changan was furious.
Li Fuyou also pushed Xian Yu away.
"Lao Xian, the gentleman doesn't use his mouth, but he just bullies people if he says it, and he has no taste. He was in front of Gu Bai.
No matter how you say it, Gu Bai is also his savior.
Gu Bairuo had a mistake in front of him, and he Li Fuyou didn't want to raise his head in Yuhang City.
Xian Yu also calmed down at this time.
He glanced around the crowd, smiled suddenly, and threw the sword back into its scabbard.
"Haha, kidding, just kidding. ”
Xian Yu bowed his hand to Gu Bai and apologized.
"I don't have a sword, how can Brother Xie know that I am already an eight-rank swordsman now?"
The scholar standing behind him laughed when he heard this.
"Your uncle!"
Xie Changan didn't believe that he was joking, and argued with him.
While chatting in front of them, Gou Zi glanced at Wang Shouyi next to him, "Fortunately, you are quick to draw your sword, otherwise this grandson would already be a dead man at this time." ”
Wang Shouyi was puzzled, "After all, you are a slave, you say this about your master, okay?"
The hook raised an eyebrow and didn't explain much.
"Alright. Gu Bai interrupted Xie Chang'an and Xian Yu's quarrel.
He reminded Xie Changan, "We're not here to eat and quarrel. ”
Xie Changan came to his senses, "Oh, yes, we're here to find trouble... No, the murderer's. ”
"Murderer?" Li Fuyou was puzzled.
Xie Changan nodded and told them about their experience of finding a corpse pit south of the manor.
Li Fuyou still didn't understand, "How do you know that there is a corpse pit in that wilderness?"
Of course, Xie Changan can't tell the truth.
He made up one: "A female ghost knows that I am kind-hearted and talented, so she gave me a dream at night and asked me to help her avenge her." ”
"How can you be sure that the corpse pit is Lao Xian's person?" Li Fuyou looked at him, "It's also a female ghost dream?"
"Ah, this..."
Xie Changan now knows why a lie needs a bunch of lies to fill in.
Fortunately, Gu Bai helped her out of the siege.
"Whether it's a person from the manor or not, you will know it after checking it. Gu Bai said.
In this world, the master can kill slaves and servants at will, and the yamen does not ask.
However, all slaves and servants must be registered with the government, and the deed of sale must also be kept in the government.
First, when the slaves and servants defected, it was convenient for the government to arrest them.
Second, in order to prevent the wealthy family from turning their heads and treating the dead as slaves to get away with their crimes after harming people's lives.
This also means that there is a fixed number of slaves and servants in the manor.
"Yes, just check it out. ”
Xie Changan commanded Wang Shouyi and asked him to lead the catcher to gather all the slaves.
"No need. Xian Yu stopped them.
"What do you mean, your heart is empty?" Xie Changan had an expectation.
"What am I weak in?" Xian Yu disdained. "I'm just telling you the truth, the corpses in the pit are indeed the servants of my manor. ”
