"It's time to start."

In the early morning, Xu Ku whispered in Wei Hongluan's ear.

Wei Hongluan, who is new to personnel, looks even more delicate, like a cuckoo after the rain.

The well water in late autumn was hot, and Xu Ku carried Wei Hongluan to the bathtub.

"Turn around." Wei Hongluan picked up the clothes beside the bed and hurriedly covered himself.

Looking at her shy appearance, Xu Ku was very sweet in his heart.

Listening to the sound of water in the corner of the house, Xu painstakingly made up the bed and removed all the obvious objects.

After the door was locked, Xu Ku came to the front yard.

I found out a few pennies, asked the guy to tie the horse and the cart, and prepared some breakfast at will.

Back across the courtyard, Wei Hongluan had already come out of the bath, combing his sideburns in front of the bronze mirror, and the shyness on his face had faded.

"How good are these brown rice crackers and sour soup?"

Looking at Xu Ku's gobbling up, Wei Hongluan couldn't help but ask.

"I was scared to death on the day I was transferred to the secret prison, and I ate this sour soup cake in the back street of Chuzhou Prison, and I didn't chew the taste."

"I'll make it up today."

Wei Hongluan also remembered the scene when he first met, Xu Ku sneakily climbed over the wall, and smiled.

Half an hour later, the horses lined up next to the post house, and the Taoyuan County officials stood on the side of the street. There were red silk and flower balls on the tray in his hand, and when they appeared in the middle of the city, the drums were singing.

Come and see the lively people crowding the front street, and everyone wants to see the demeanor of the heroes who kill the barbarians. The girl with spring in her hand took the hydrangea in her hand and looked forward to the legendary general Fengxiao.

At the corner gate of the post house that no one paid attention to, an inconspicuous carriage quietly left and galloped onto the official road to Wangjing.

"Just say goodbye?" Wei Hongluan poked his head out of the canopy.

"The husband is not without tears, and he does not shed parting. See you soon. Xu said bitterly.

"I didn't expect you, a jailer, to have literary talents, so why don't you be a judge in the future."

Wei Hongluan Yingying looked at Xu Ku, who had heard him say in Chuzhou that the three armies could win the commandery, and the horsemen could not win the ambition, which was also very incisive.

"Being an official? Forget it. My dream is to buy a house. ”

……

"Name? Origin? ”

"Xu Ku, a person from Chuzhou."

Looking at the gate of the capital, the registered old city guard raised his head and squinted at Xu Ku.

"If you're not mistaken, you're a jailer in this outfit."

"The military master is clear, and the one in the car behind is my official mother-in-law."

"To be able to escape from Chuzhou to here, my life is quite hard."

The old city guard pursed his lips, only raised the curtain and glanced at Wei Hongluan, who had changed his appearance, and then ignored it.

The reputation of the big mountain jailer is too bad, and the official prisoners are probably not very attractive.

"Since you have Chai's guide, let's let you go. Be sure to remember who you are at all times and don't end up on the streets. ”

"Please give me some advice." Xu Ku quietly put two coins on the ground, and the old city guard smiled with relief.

"Seeing that you are sensible, I will teach you a few words. Looking at the inside and outside of the capital, when I saw the characters in the inner city, I just had to clamp my tail. If you beg, don't go to the winery, or in front of the grain store, where the staff slaughter you like a dog. ”

"If you are lucky enough to get the money, remember to pay the head to the west side of the outer city. Don't think about joining the gang, you jailers won't accept it, don't be bored and beaten up. ”

"If you are looking for a house to settle down, where are you going?" Xu asked bitterly.

The old city guard glanced at Xu Ku more, "Go to Guanfang in the inner city, go to the old willow tree in the north in the outer city, and look for a thousand women." ”

"Thank you, Master Jun. Seven days later, there will be a person surnamed Hu who will send a few rotten quilts to the boy, and ask the military master to let him go. ”

Xu Ku said and handed over two more pieces of money, and the old city guard smiled a little deeper.

"Well, I see that you are a good person, and you will report my name as Xu Qian when you enter and leave the city gate in the future."

"An extra word, go to see a thousand mothers-in-law, don't take your mother-in-law. Shape up or ship out. ”

"It turned out to be the elder brother of the family, Xu Ku wrote it down."

Xu Ku bowed slightly, but his brows had been twisted into Sichuan characters.

This Wangjing, the water is so muddy.

Although Daluan has been reduced to a vassal state, the inventory of Wangjing is still very strict.

When I came, I heard Wei Hongluan say that her prime minister's mansion had already been occupied by the Qianguo dove. It is impossible to live in a hotel easily, so as not to be checked by the official with a marriage certificate when registering, and there will be many people and troubles.

Seeing Cao Qing open his mouth before, he was harboring demons, and both of them were vigilant.

Identities cannot be revealed for the time being.

I can't say that, I'm going to the north of the outer city today.

The old willow tree, the thousand mother-in-law, Xu Ku kept these words in mind, and drove into Wangjing with a whip.

"Xu Lang, this Wangjing is different from when I was there." Wei Hongluan sighed.

When he arrived in the outer city, Xu Ku fetched water from an old well. The people in the outer city I saw were not as ragged as Chuzhou, but they were not as prosperous as the imagined capital. Although the outer city is large, there are only a few fine houses, and the rest are mud and straw houses.

Thirteen streets are horizontal and vertical, and the people who come and go are all bowing their heads and chests, and they are in a hurry. Begging people can be seen everywhere, from time to time they hold the feet of passers-by and are impatiently thrown away.

"The country has no conscience, and the people are so bitter."

Looking at the carved beams and paintings of the inner city from afar, Xu snorted bitterly: "Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road." ”

The old willow tree is a street corner in the north of the city, and it is barely a fine house.

Qianpozi's surname is Wang, and she helps the outer city to manage the land deeds everywhere, and she is very good at raising the price, and the rotten goods of a penny can also rise to 1,000 yuan, so she got this name. The door is also wide, and many things can't get around her.

At this time, Qianpozi was dressed in red and green, opened a small snuffbox, took a pinch of mung beans and smoked it. A sneeze went out, startling the ducks in the yard to run three meters.

Suddenly, I saw a broken car parked at the door, and its face was smiling like a wrinkled orange peel. When business comes, it's better to get up early.

When he arrived at the door, he frowned when he saw Xu Ku dressed as a jailer when he walked down, but the smile on his face did not decrease.

"This little brother has something to do with his old body? But first of all, the interest rate of borrowing has risen recently. ”

People in the dilapidated city outside the city will ask her to borrow money from time to time, usually only for a month, and if they don't do it, they will end up selling their land. However, Xu Ku saw that he was from a foreign country, and it was estimated that he had no property, so he first blocked the way to borrow money.

"Qian's family is invited, the kid came according to the guidance of Brother Xu Qian at the city gate, and wants to find an old house for himself and his mother-in-law to settle down."

Xu Ku arched his hand.

"Yo, I didn't see that he was still a rich little brother. Let's talk with the old man, and the mother-in-law in the car also got down to drink saliva. ”

"Mother-in-law doesn't need it, although I am a rotten person, I am still the master of the family."

Xu bitterly remembered Xu Qian's reminder, and the one who refused was called simply.

The thousand women have an ugly face, but they are quick to do things, from Xu Ku entering the house to taking the title deed of the old house, the total is only a stick of incense.

Although the house is dilapidated, it is in a lively street. There is also a vegetable garden and farm tools in the yard, which saves a lot of trouble.

It took eighty taels to realize the ideal of buying a house in Beijing in his previous life.

"Qianpozi, that Hongfu Lane is a prosperous land, and it should be sold for a hundred taels."

After Xu Ku left, the rugged man who walked out of the courtyard of the Jingshe frowned and said. If there are gangsters from outside the city here, they must bow down and call Yuan Ye. It was Yuan Hong, the leader of the outer city, and the scar on his face reflected the appearance of the fierce god.

Yuan Hong came to Qianpozi this morning to collect the monthly case, and when he saw that someone was looking for him, he didn't come out.

"Master Yuan, it is precisely because it is a prosperous land that it sells for eighty taels."

"What do you say?" Yuan Hong sat down on a lazy stool in the courtyard and grabbed the snuffbox of Qianpozi to play.

"There is a gambling game in Hongfu Lane, Qing Guan. A stinky pawn from a foreign country couldn't stand it, and he spent all his money in three days, and it was a sure thing to sell his mother-in-law. ”

"Although his mother-in-law didn't get out of the car just now, a hand can be exposed in the canopy, and it looks like a delicate and watery one."

"It's still a thousand women who will do it." Yuan Hong nodded in satisfaction.

"Yuan Ye rest assured, the old man knows the rules, and the night when the contract for selling his wife is signed, he will definitely send it to Yuan Ye first."

Qianpozi laughed evilly.
