Chapter 16 Door-to-door
Zhou Xi saw Gongzi calling him, and immediately leaned his head over.
Zhou Gu whispered to Zhou Xi, "From now on, you find someone for me, that person is a woman, it should be a peasant fishing girl, with the prince's dagger on her body, the dagger is the work of the carving master Zhang Chengming, it is very special, the handle is full of auspicious cloud patterns, and when it is roasted with fire, it will reflect the prince's small character inscription, which is not difficult to identify." ”
Zhou Xi immediately asked: "Are there any other characteristics?" Like a portrait or something? ”
Zhou Gu shook his head, "No." ”
Zhou Xi was embarrassed, "I'm afraid this is not easy to find." ”
"Then I have to find it, I promised the prince."
Zhou Xi nodded, okay, it turned out that the prince was looking for someone.
Zhou Gu also instructed, "Act in secret, don't make a show." ”
Zhou Xi should be.
So, after eating, Zhou Gu still walked around the city with midnight, while Zhou Xi went back to arrange for people to find people.
For three days in a row, Zhou Gu turned around the city before he called Zhou Xi and instructed him, "In a while, you send someone to post to the Taishou Mansion, saying that I will come to the mansion tomorrow to visit." ”
Zhou Xi nodded, and took the initiative to tell Zhou Gu, "I have sent people to look for it for two days, and there are not many people in Jiangning who make a living from fishing, and I have asked people to quietly search those homes." ”
Zhou Gu bowed.
Zhou Xi immediately sent someone to post to the Taishou Mansion, Mrs. Taishou was overjoyed, and after receiving the post, she asked Su Ronger again, "Let me tell you, you look so good, don't waste it, pretend to be me, don't see the first face, you will show your true nature to scare people and scare them away." ”
Su Rong was helpless, "Mother, am I so uneasy for you?" ”
The eldest lady said unceremoniously, "You have." ”
Su Rong thought that she was blamed for having too many criminal records, and now in front of the eldest lady, she no longer has credibility.
The eldest lady reached out and nodded her forehead, "I'm telling you, don't take it seriously." I quietly went to the street with your father last night, and I saw the little boy that week, and he was really good-looking, as long as he walked by, the big girls and daughters-in-law on the street looked at him, but his face did not change, he came for three days, and he did not drill into the Red Mansion Winery, only walked around the street, and his character can be seen to be passable, at least not a drunken person. ”
Su Rong was shocked, "Mother, what are you and father doing?" Is it necessary? ”
Even went to the street to sneak a peek at people? If someone finds you, where will you put your face?
The eldest lady met Su Rong's eyes, and her face was a little unbearable, "Me and your father, isn't this also for you?" ”
"Thank you." Su Rong was speechless, "You weren't discovered by him, were you?" ”
"No, we both put on people's clothes, looked at him from a distance, didn't get close to him, there were many people on the street, people came and went, and he didn't notice us."
Su Rong breathed a sigh of relief, "That's fine, otherwise if you are discovered, I will blush for you." ”
The eldest lady glared, "You still blush at such a high-level thing?" ”
Su Rong: "......"
I can't talk about it this day!
On the second day, after breakfast, Zhou Gu only took Midnight and boarded Su Taishou's door.
The doorman of the Taishou Mansion opened the door and saw two young men standing outside the door, one was very good-looking, with clear eyebrows and eyes, and the other was dressed as a guard, and was also very delicate, both of them were very young, and he asked tentatively: "You two are ......?"
"The Protector Mansion is looking around, and I came to meet Su Taishou and Mrs. Su." Zhou Gu newspaper name.
The doorman was surprised and blurted out, "Seventh Aunt? ”
Zhou Gu's face froze, what the hell is Aunt Seven? He wanted to turn around and leave for a moment, but he finally held back.
The doorman was also shocked to lose his temper, and repeatedly accused, "Zhou Xiaogongzi forgives me, the villain is so excited to see you, the lord and Mrs. have already ordered, if you come to the door, you don't have to tell you, please, please come in." ”
The doorman opened the door wide and happily invited Zhou Gu to go inside, and at the same time shouted inside: "Zhou Xiaogongzi is here!" ”
Zhou Gu: "......"
Is this the kind of hospitality that Taishoufu has?
As the doorman shouted, the quiet Taishou Mansion instantly became lively, but everyone who heard it shouted one after another, "Master, Mrs., Zhou Xiaogongzi is here!" ”
There was no need for anyone to run errands to pray, just a moment, and a series of shouts from different people spread from the gate of the house to the front yard and then to the back yard.
Zhou Gu's forehead jumped, it was the first time he had come to someone's door and encountered such a battle. made him feel in a trance that he was the identity of the emperor Laozi, and he only shouted loudly and moved all over the house.
"Little boy, please hurry!" The doorman saw that Zhou Gu had not moved for a long time, so he came forward to drag people.
Zhou Gu gritted his teeth, barely calmed down, and walked inside.
He hadn't taken a few steps before the housekeeper Li Fu came out, smiling with joy on his face, and called a thousand, "Zhou Xiaogongzi, the old slave is Li Fu, the housekeeper in the house, please come inside." ”
Zhou Gu nodded, and said reservedly: "Uncle Li is good!" ”
"Oops, I can't afford it, I can't afford it. The old slave is in charge of the big and small affairs in the house, but he doesn't dare to respond to the title of little boy. The little boy just needs to call the old slave Li Fu. The housekeeper thought that Zhou Xiaogongzi was not the same as the rumors, he was not arrogant, how could he be so polite? It really shocked him.
He greeted Zhou Gu all the way to the living room and arranged for someone to serve tea, "Little boy, wait a minute, the lord and the lady will come." ”
Zhou Gu nodded, and came in all the way, and found that although the Taishou Mansion was clean and tidy, it was not very elegant and exquisite, and the living room was also very simple. I heard that Su Taishou is not greedy, Jiang Ning is really rich, but the annual tax is not much, His Majesty once sent an inspector to check, Su Taishou checked the bottom up, and really did not find out that he was greedy for a tael of silver, it is said that the fold was handed over, and His Majesty laughed angrily.
Your Majesty didn't seem to expect that there really would be an official in the world who was not greedy for money or two.
Su Taishou was in the study, and the eldest lady was teaching Su Rong to be a housekeeper, neither of them expected Zhou Gu to come to the door so early, and when they heard someone shouting, the husband and wife invariably put down what they were doing and hurried to the front hall from both directions.
Before the eldest lady stepped out of the threshold, she turned her head and explained to Su Rong solemnly, "Go and dress up, I'll call someone to call you in a while." After she finished speaking, she didn't believe Su Rong very much, and ordered, "Mother Wang, you groom and dress her, you must look good." ”
Wang Ma smiled and responded, "Madam, don't worry. ”
The eldest lady went with peace of mind.
