Chapter Seventy-One: Listening to the Window at Night

Guo Mo stood up, holding on to the fence with his hand, and looked downstairs.

I saw that there were about thirty or fifty people in the procession to welcome relatives, and someone sounded a gong in front of them to open the way, and a big red sedan chair was carried in the middle.

I felt that the sedan chair was swaying, as if the sound of someone struggling inside was too far away to hear it really.

Next to the sedan chair, there is a sturdy woman dressed in red and green, wearing heavy makeup, and at first glance she looks like a matchmaker walking through the streets, constantly covering the sedan door with her hands.

There were a few drummers behind him, and the rest were officials and family servants.

The group walked lively, but it was very strange that they didn't see the bridegroom.

The line was not large, and after a while, it passed, and when it turned the street, it was no longer visible, only the faint sound of blowing bells.

Guo Mo sat down again and asked the shopkeeper next to him, "Man, whose family is this marrying?" ”

The shopkeeper stopped talking, and looked left and right vigilantly, as if he was worried about something.

Guo Mo took out about a tael of silver from his arms and put it on the table, "Man, answer my question honestly, if I'm satisfied, these two pieces of silver are yours." ”

Seeing the silver on the table, the shopkeeper's eyes were straight, he ran in this "guest to vote", in addition to eating and living for a month, he also hung half a copper coin, and this two pieces of silver were worth his income for two months.

"Guest, you always ask," the shopkeeper lowered his voice, and with one hand, skillfully pulled the silver on the table into his sleeve.

Guo Mo pretended not to see his movements, "What happened when you just got married?" ”

"Guest, you're not a local, are you?"

Guo Mo didn't reply, nodded his head, and motioned for him to continue.

"The one sitting in the sedan chair just now is the daughter of Zhou Xiucai in the west of the city, this daughter is only thirteen years old this year, and she is married to the county lord of our Dingxing County, and she is ...... this year Fifty-eight years old. The shopkeeper lowered his voice very low.

"This week, Xiucai was originally the little official in charge of money and grain in our Dingxing County, but after the new county lord arrived, he was fired and replaced by his own person."

"Our county lord, he has only been in office for more than half a year, and he hasn't done much business, the concubine has married six or seven rooms, this is not the ninth room today, how old is the poor child."

"Oh, then Zhou Xiucai is willing to marry his young daughter to this county master?" Guo Mo thought that if Zhou Xiu was a flatterer this time, he wouldn't need to meddle in his own affairs.

"How can it? Whose child is not raised by his parents," Shopkeeper looked around again, glanced at Guo Mo with the sword behind him, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart.

He lowered his voice again and said, "I heard that because Zhou Xiucai didn't agree to this family business, our county lord actually secretly sent someone to injure Zhou Xiucai. ”

"Today it is said to welcome relatives, but in fact, it is to rob relatives. If someone can come to the rescue, I'm ......."

The shopkeeper thought that Guo Mo had asked so much, and he looked like a ranger, who could fight unevenly.

Who knew that when he raised his eyes, hey, this man dared to be tired of traveling, and he actually fell asleep on the table, and he wasted himself for a long time spitting on the stars?

Waiting for the shopkeeper to leave stupidly, Guo Mo slowly opened his eyes.

"Brother Mo, are you trying to save this girl?" Huang Rong asked.

"Eat first, then let's stay, and then go to rescue people in the evening." Guo Mo said in a low voice.

After eating, look at the position of the sun, it was probably just when I arrived in Shen, it was still early before dark.

I booked two upper rooms in the "guest to vote", and then went to the street.

Guo Mo and Huang Rong were also in a hurry when they ran out of "Lu Jiaji", and they didn't bring any replacement clothes.

The area of Dingxing County is not large, and the main streets are three vertical and two horizontal, and the two of them did not ride horses, strolling along the streets, but also for night action, stepping on plates.

Dingxing County Ya is not far from the central street of "Kelaitou", separated by less than two miles.

The normal county government office is the front yard office, and the back yard is the private residential area of the county lord.

The two of them followed the street and turned to the back door, and the people who came out and went in were all buying or doing errands.

went around the county office, so that he knew it in his heart, and from the other direction, he returned to the "guest to vote".

The two of them had a brief dinner and went back to their houses to rest.

As soon as the second watch arrived, I heard a gentle knock on the door, Guo Mo smiled, it seems that this little girl is really breathless.

opened the door, and sure enough, it was Huang Rong at the door, "Rong'er, are you ready?" ”

found that Huang Rong had changed into a soapy blue suit and pants, and Guo Mo did not bring a "cold night" sword, so the two quietly left the "guest to vote" and went in the direction of the county government.

The two of them came to the back door with ease, saw that there was no one on the left and right, pointed to the ground on tiptoe, and jumped over the big wall to the courtyard.

After discerning the direction, I didn't dare to go to the middle, next to the root of the west wall, and touched to the south.

There was not much time, and when I came to a small courtyard, the main thing was that the other courtyards were dark, and the lights were still on here.

The two crept to the back window, lightly clicked on the lattice paper, and looked inside.

There were two people in the room, a woman with a red hijab sitting in the wedding tent, sobbing incessantly.

There was also a person standing next to her, an old woman in her forties, who was persuading the woman at the bedside.

"I said Miss Zhou, the old body has been telling you for a long time, why are you still crying? Today is your day of great joy, so it's not lucky. ”

"The old man is a little older, but that's also the 'Baili Hou' of Dingxing County, men, it's more painful when you're older."

"After tonight, the old body should change his words, I can't call you 'Miss Zhou' anymore, you are the 'Ninth Grandma' in the house."

"Your mother died early, and your talented father probably didn't teach you how to serve men, right? After a while, the master will come, you want to be so, so, so ......" (800 words omitted here)

The surroundings were quiet, Guo Mo and Huang Rong were outside the window, listening to the truth.

Not to mention, this old mother's mouth is really neat, and her words are meticulous and fascinating, Guo Mo has never seen any battles in his previous life, so he listened happily.

Now, it's hard for Huang Rong, this is only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old yellow flower girl, and she was raised by only her father, and she has never been in contact with these.

The old mother was talking happily in the house, and Huang Rong didn't walk, nor did she stand.

Fortunately, at this moment, the door was pushed open from the outside with a "creak", and an "old man" dressed in red came in.

Is he really an old man, his hair is almost gray, sparse, and a third of it is left? Less than the hair of the "old monster of the mountain".

He came over with a wine hiccups, "You, go out first, close the door." The person pointed to the old woman.

The old mother did not dare to disobey, so she obediently withdrew and closed the door.

I also took a deep look at the house, and it was actually envious.
