Chapter 87: A Family Affair Between Them

Qi Zhiyuan hurriedly followed behind Zhou Du and went to the back hall of the inn.

The shopkeeper saw that Zhou Du was familiar with him and wanted to stop him, but when Zhao De entered the house, he asked him the same question: "Rong Song lives in this inn?" ”

The shopkeeper heard Zhao De's voice was sharp and thin, and then looked at Zhao De's face without a beard, so he guessed that the person in front of him was a eunuch.

The good-looking son just now was wearing a scarlet official uniform, and his rank was not low, and this was a eunuch, who was the son of Rong provoked?

"Gongzi Rong does live in the inn, but no one is there at the moment." The shopkeeper replied respectfully.

"Then do you know when Rong Song will return to the inn?" Zhao De asked.

It was hard to find out that Rong Song lived in this inn, there was no reason why he couldn't see anyone, otherwise how would he explain to His Highness?

"I don't know. Maybe the guest officer can try his luck at night, this Zi Rong Gongzi is really not in the inn. The shopkeeper glanced at the back hall.

Zhao De wanted to go back to Zhou Xing to resume his life, but it was not good to stay any longer, so he left one person to guard the inn at the moment, and he went back to the palace to resume his life first.

The shopkeeper was worried that the good-looking boy would break in, and he hurriedly went into the back hall to see what was going on.

Zhou Du knew that Zhao De had left the inn, so he took Qi Zhiyuan out of the back hall. Before the shopkeeper could speak, he took Qi Zhiyuan and left the inn.

The man left behind by Zhao De didn't pay attention at first, until a figure in a crimson official robe flashed by, and he only had time to see the man's back.

Before he could see the man's face, the man was pacing away with graceful steps.

"Shopkeeper, who is that adult?" The man asked curiously.

In line with the principle that more things are better than less, he replied vaguely: "I don't know, I'll see you for the first time." ”

After leaving the inn, Zhou Du did not return to the Yamen, but went to the southern suburbs.

Qi Zhiyuan couldn't figure out Zhou Du's thoughts, and he didn't dare to ask more, until their master and servant found the original owner of the wasteland, Lao Wang.

Lao Wang didn't expect that the official would be so young and so handsome, he looked straight, stared at Zhou Du's face in a daze, and it took a while to come to his senses.

"I don't know what this lord is doing?" Lao Wang asked with a wince.

"Don't be afraid, my son-in-law is very good. Childe asks you anything, and you answer truthfully. Qi Zhiyuan smiled genuinely.

Lao Wang hurriedly found a cleaner chair and put it in front of Zhou Dui.

Where Zhou Du was standing, he could just see the endless wasteland. This land is really as the legend goes, and there is not a single grass growing.

No wonder it has not been sold for more than ten years, and I don't know what to do with such land.

"I want to ask you, on the day of the land purchase, apart from Rong Song, was there anyone else?" Twilight gets straight to the point.

Lao Wang didn't dare to lie, so he said the truth: "In addition to Fourth Master Rong, there is also a bookkeeper surnamed Yan. In addition, there seemed to be people in the carriage, but the people in the carriage did not get out of the carriage. ”

"Mr. Ledger surnamed Yan?" Zhou Du pondered: "Can you describe the appearance of this bookkeeper?" ”

Lao Wang recalled carefully before he said: "It looks quite thin, his face is yellow, his eyes are big and unfocused, and the fragrance on his body is very strong." By the way, there are pockmarks on the face. ”

As soon as he heard that the smell of smoke was strong, Zhou Du knew that it was the person who was sitting in the carriage that day. What impressed him the most was that he felt that the man's incense was particularly pungent, and he didn't like the smell too strong, so he still remembers this detail.

"Can the old gentleman tell me more about that day?" Zhou Du became more and more interested in that Mr. Yan.

Lao Wang only said that Zhou Du was an official, and he didn't dare to hide anything, so he repeated what the accountant surnamed Yan said at that time.

Zhou Du was dumbfounded for a moment after hearing this.

He also knows the price of land in the capital, and on average, it costs five or six taels of silver per mu.

Although Lao Wang's land has been rotten in his hands for more than ten years, and later came to the point where no one cares, it will not be sold for 300 yuan per acre.

It can only be said that Mr. Yan is a ruthless person.

"I saw that Mr. Yan and Fourth Master Rong were dressed in cold clothes, and Mr. Yan repeatedly emphasized that all of Fourth Master Rong's belongings could only be bought at this price. I was afraid that I would miss the buyer Rong Siye, and I had to wait for many years, so I ruthlessly sold this land to Rong Siye. Lao Wang doesn't regret it now when he thinks about it.

Before he sold this land, his heart was heavy, and he sighed all day long. But after the land was taken off, he was refreshed, and with the silver in his hand, he could do whatever he wanted.

I don't know why as soon as he sold this land, a girl came to ask about this land, and today this good-looking son came to ask about the sale of land.

Zhou Du finished asking about the experience, and felt that there was nothing missing, and when he was about to get into the carriage, he suddenly asked again: "After your land is sold, what else does Mr. Yan say?" ”

Lao Wang immediately responded: "As soon as the adults asked, I remembered that there really is." Before leaving, Mr. Yan told me that there was a fish pond in Majia Village, and asked me to buy it, and said that if I bought it, the business would not be a loss. ”

And Gu Xiyan, who was far away in the West Garden of Wanqinghou Mansion, sneezed fiercely.

"The girl can't be cold, right?" Qiu Shi immediately added a piece of clothing to Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan's three attendants were worried, and hurriedly shook their heads and said, "It's just an itchy nose, so it's okay." ”

Previously, Min'er came to her because she was worried about her, and she also knew that Min'er reported to Zhou Du for Xiao Gu's coming to Xiyuan to make trouble.

Knowing that it was Wan Qinghou who came forward to settle the matter, Min'er handed over the news to the next door again, saying that the matter had passed.

She knew that Min'er was Zhou Dui's person, and Zhou Dui installed Min'er in the Hou Mansion because she was worried about her, and she couldn't get Min'er away. But according to her thoughts, Min'er has to report to Zhou Du as soon as she has news about her, and she will always have to trouble Zhou Dui, which is really not good.

Zhou Du is a person who does great things, and she shouldn't be stopped......

On the other side, after Zhou Du came back from the southern suburbs, he went to the yamen, only to know that Cai Yu had been waiting for him for a long time.

He hurriedly returned to the mansion, and Mama Yin told him that it was Wanqinghou who came forward, and the matter had been resolved, so let him not worry.

He didn't know whether to be happy for Gu Xiyan or sad for her.

He couldn't be by his side when she had an accident, and Cai Yu couldn't find him. If Wan Qinghou didn't come forward today, would Gu Xiyan have been kicked out of the house at this moment?

Mama Yin saw that Zhou Dui's mood was not good, "Don't worry about it, since you have the Hou Ye to protect you, Miss Gu will not be bullied in the Hou Mansion, and Wan Qinghou can still be trusted." ”

Twilight was silent, looking next door through the bare branches.

He suddenly remembered that it seemed that since he had made up his mind to meet Gu Xiyan less that day, he and Gu Xiyan really hadn't spoken a word again. Even if he took a picture that day, Gu Xiyan didn't look at him squarely.

He knew she was not doing well, but he couldn't do anything.

If she married, would she be better off?

Zhou Dui was depressed: "Zhiyuan, you let Min'er investigate, there is a family affair between Miss Gu and Xu San." ”
