Chapter Seventy-Four: Bai Yuannian and his wife visit
Gu Qingjue reached out and took out a roll of red cloth from the hidden compartment of the bed board.
The cloth was tied with a very thin piece of twine, and I don't know what was wrapped in it.
Su Yixin asked, "This is left by Daddy and Auntie?" ”
"Well, yesterday Sister Ming was scared to sleep alone, with us, wetting the bed in the middle of the night and wetting the quilt, I accidentally found it, I occasionally saw Daddy take this before."
Gu Qingjue said, untying the thin hemp rope.
Spread out the red cloth with a very worn roll of parchment and spread it out on the table.
It's a map, a map that's as simple as it gets.
There is a circle here, a dot there, and there is no marking or explanation on it.
Just asked, who can understand this?
Gu Qingjue was calm, rolled up the sheepskin, tied it with the fine hemp rope just now, and handed it to Su Yixin.
"Give it to me?"
Su Yixin was slightly surprised, and did not immediately reach out to pick it up.
"Well, that's what they're here for, and you're the only one in this home right now who has the ability to protect it."
Su Yixin looked at Gu Qingjue's firm eyes, and finally reached out to take it.
Although Gu Qingjue didn't say it, Su Yixin understood that from now on, Gu Qingjue really regarded her as a family, a family regardless of each other.
Su Yixin couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips, this feeling seemed to be quite good.
Putting away the parchment roll, Su Yixin told Gu Qingjue what he had learned today, and also told his conjectures.
Gu Qingjue said: "Nine times out of ten, your inference is correct. Six years ago, Daddy went to Gu's house in Jiangning Mansion and came back a month later. I clearly remember that Daddy did not come back from the main road at the entrance of the village, but from the back mountain, and there were still a few injuries on his body. After that, Daddy rarely went out of the village, even if he caught prey, he needed to go to the town to exchange money, and he was brought by Uncle Sanyun. ”
Su Yixin nodded: "In this way, Daddy should suspect that the Gu family is investigating his whereabouts, and deliberately came back by detour."
After that, do not go out of the village, is to avoid exposure.
It's just that I didn't expect that in the end, they found clues and followed.
"You said that Daddy is the son of the Gu family, I look at Gu Ziyu's age, combined with his appearance, it should be your cousin!"
"However, Daddy said that the Gu family has two sons, one son is twenty-three years old, named Gu Nansheng, and the other son is fifteen years old, called Gu Nanshan, and there is no one named Gu Ziyu."
Six years ago, Gu Nansheng was now twenty-nine, and Gu Nanshan was twenty-one.
Gu Nanshan is not the right age, so this Gu Ziyu is very likely to be Gu Nansheng, the eldest son of the long house that Gu Mingbo mentioned.
After confirming their identities, the two of them felt much more at ease.
The next day, not long after the family finished breakfast, Bai Yuannian and his wife came to the door with Bai Shiqian.
In addition to the two carriages that Bai Yuannian and his wife and Bai Shiqian were sitting in, there were also five carriages pulling goods behind them, which stopped at the door of Gu's house.
The villagers craned their necks to look at the excitement, but because of the momentum of the Bai family, they didn't dare to rush up.
When Roche got out of the carriage, he told the coachman to carry his things.
"Auntie, there are so many things, you are moving all the shops here!"
"Where's more, that's all."
The five carriages directly filled Su Yixin's room.
Su Yixin was directly numb.
Forget it, just give back to them in the future.
The things were moved, leaving only two coachmen, and the remaining five, Roche directly asked them to go back first.
It's too crowded.
There were more people, and Gu Qingxi also went to Uncle Youde's house to borrow two benches, which were barely enough to sit.
Bai Shiqian's face was much better, and his body bones were not as good as before for the time being, and he could move around freely.
So the husband and wife led him to thank him.
When there were only four of them in the Gu family before, they thought it was quite big, and with Li Zhengzhen and Zeng Shengji added a few later, they felt a little crowded.
As soon as Bai Yuannian's family came, the main hall was immediately insufficient.
This house must be expanded, and it must be greatly expanded.
There are guests at home, Fang's mother is a little nervous, her specialty is pasta, as for stir-frying, it is very ordinary.
I'm afraid I'll mess up the meal.
But Luo is here, and Su Yixin, as the hostess, has to accompany her in the main hall.
Luo Shi was really sharp-eyed, and he could see the situation of the Gu family at a glance, and his emotional intelligence thief mother pulled up, smiled and pulled Su Yixin to the stove hall, saying that he would show Su Yixin two hands.
Su Yixin politely said how could you let the guests do it.
Guess what Roche said?
"You call me aunt, so you will see the outside. If you're really embarrassed, cook two dishes for your aunt to taste, I heard Sister Ming say just now, your cooking skills are not worse than those of the chefs outside. ”
As a result, Fang's mother became a layman.
Su Yixin and Luo Che showed their own powers, and they made twelve dishes by themselves.
Those who fly in the sky and walk on the earth, and those who swim in the water are all alive.
There were guests, Li Zhengzhen and Zeng Shengji restrained a lot, and did not fight with chopsticks when picking up vegetables.
Rao is like this, and he also swept all the dishes, and the plates are clean enough to show the human figure.
Su Yixin: "......"
Her embarrassed toes at this time can pull out the three-bedroom apartment.
Obviously, before serving the table, she also signaled the two goods to be restrained a little, and the two of them also gave a signal to reassure her.
She really thought they were sensible.
I didn't expect it......!!!
Luo said with a smile: "It's all your fault that the cooking is so delicious, you see that the aunt is propped up, come, take me to the lake in front of me to eat."
Roche called her out to relieve the embarrassment.
There was a chat on the road, and it was very pleasant to arrive.
The two of them stood by the lake, looking back at the Gu family's mansion about 100 meters above, and Luo suddenly said, "Have you bought all the land near the Gu family?" If you have land, you can consider expanding your house. ”
Su Yixin nodded and said, "I'm going to start construction in two days."
Now listening to what Luo said this, she still has some inconsider, she didn't think about the ownership of the land, and she had to go to the village to discuss the land.
And then there is this house, which has to be doubled in size on the basis of her original idea.
The two walked by the lake for a quarter of an hour and then went back, and then let An Lan make tea, and before the end of the day, Bai Yuannian and his wife took Bai Shiqian back to Tongyuan Town.
Su Yixin saw that she had time, so she went to the village with Gu Qingjue.
"You want to buy the land in front of the house?"
"Well, yes. There are many people in the family, and I want to expand a few rooms. ”
Muramasa stroked his beard and nodded, took an account book, put his index finger on his mouth, and began to flip through it.
"According to the size you said, the four sides need six zhang each, plus the two mountains behind the house, this silver, a total of ......."
Muramasa said, picking up the abacus on the table.
Before he started dialing the abacus beads, he heard Gu Qingjue say: "A total of forty-two taels and eight hundred and fifty-four texts."
