0499 Liu Gu was on an errand
During this time, he walked around with Liu Haojia, and other brothers passed on their experience, but he was much smarter than ordinary children of the same age, and he had also seen idlers in front of the city gates everywhere. I wanted to show my means in front of my sister, but I met a different Tianjin county, which made him a little overwhelmed!
It's not that there are no idlers in Tianjin City, it's just that Liu Gu is unlucky! Before he came, the idle people in Tianjin were basically hired, and all the idlers on the street were arrested as laborers, and the few who were not arrested also hid at home and did not dare to go out! So at this time, the city of Tianjin is clean as if it has been washed with water!
Tan Cuiying and the three of them were laughing and laughing in the carriage, and suddenly felt that the carriage had stopped, so they asked Liu Gu, Liu Gu said the situation depressedly, and even the three of them were very surprised! But Tan Cuiying still said, "It's okay if there are no idlers! You can go to the soldiers guarding the gate and give a few pennies more!"
Liu Gu patted his head when he heard this and said, "Sister is really smart! Actually, I forgot what my brothers taught!"
However, he was still a little worried about dealing with soldiers, but he remembered that his brothers once said that the flying fish suit he wore was the best paperwork, and ordinary people always had to sell some face! Then look at the soldiers who were napping against the city wall by the city gate, and he was even more confident!
He rode to the soldiers who had come to the side of the gate, where a dozen or so soldiers had gathered, most of them dozing off with their spears, and the rest were chatting together. It's a little strange to see a young man in a flying fish suit, riding a horse!
However, the soldiers guarding the city gate are all from the civilian army, where can they afford to offend the people wearing flying fish suits? Therefore, a small flag officer stationed here hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I wonder what this messenger commands?"
Liu Gu straightened his chest and said, "This brother, the younger brother was ordered to escort people to Tianjin, but it was the first time I came here and I didn't know the way, so I wanted to ask my brother to send someone to send us to Liansheng Inn!" The brothers who run errands have their own tea and money!"
After speaking, Liu Gu took out a small string of copper coins from his waist and threw them directly. There are not many copper coins in this string, just ten strings! He had six strings of such copper coins on his waist. This was all taught to him by his brothers!
The people of Wuningbo Mansion always have to reward people when they go out, and they lose the face of the master's family, and they waste money if they reward more, not to mention that they are easy to be ridiculed! It is just right to throw ten copper coins to treat this kind of person, which is generous but not too much!
The little flag officer stretched out his hand to catch the copper coin, and he didn't need to count it to know how many. Because of similar errands, they take on a lot and often receive tips. And today, although this brocade guard is young, he is old-fashioned, rewarding and measured, and everyone must come out!
So he said politely, "This errand is very easy to run, so you don't need to reward money!"
After speaking, he made a gesture to hand the copper coin back, but Liu Gu directly stretched out his hand to block it, and said, "A little tea money is nothing, just ask my brother for convenience!"
The little flag officer relaxed when he heard this, turned his head and shouted behind him, "Sanmaozi, come here! Lead the errand to the Liansheng Inn!"
With the voice of the voice, an ordinary soldier ran over, and he said in a loud voice: "Uncle, I know where the Liansheng Inn is, not far, not far!"
As he spoke, his eyes looked at the string of copper coins in the little flag officer's hand. The little flag officer wanted to raise his leg and kick him when he saw his virtue, but after all, he was his own nephew, and he could only sigh! He wiped out the five cents and stuffed them into his hand with a swipe of the money string, and said, "Go quickly, go back quickly!"
Sanmaozi took the copper coin and smiled very happily! He arched his hand at Liu Gu and said, "It's okay to go with the villain, and the Liansheng Inn is not far from here!"
After Liu Gu thanked the little flag officer, he rushed back to the carriage, urged the coachman to move forward, and followed Sanmaozi to the inn. After that, Liu Gu directly showed the waist card of Wu Ningbo's mansion, and directly told the shopkeeper that he wanted to place three female guests here, and they would leave after visiting Miss Zhang.
When the shopkeeper heard that he was visiting Miss Zhang, he naturally didn't dare to slack off, so he deliberately chose a quiet cross-courtyard to accommodate three people. I also deliberately gave a discount.
After Tan Cuiying and the three of them settled down, she said to Liu Gu, who was helping before and after, "Brother, you have worked hard along the way! Don't rush back home now, my sister invites you to have a drink!"
The twelve or thirteen-year-old boy Lang is very fond of imitating the behavior of adults, especially when he heard that his sister invited her to eat and drink, he instantly felt that he was an adult, so he naturally agreed immediately.
Then Tan Cuiying took the reward money and sent a few soldiers, and entrusted the shopkeeper to order a banquet, and the four of them ate very happily! During this period, Liu Gu's only dissatisfaction was that he only got three cups, and his sister didn't give him food.
But fortunately, Liu Gu also knew that her sister was afraid that she would be the youngest and hurt herself by eating too much wine. Besides, it was the first time I was on an errand alone, and it was not good to go back with a body of alcohol. I can only stop there! However, they had already made an appointment to pick her up after noon tomorrow.
After noon on the second day, Liu Gu came to the inn in a hurry, knocked on the courtyard door and shouted, "Sister, sister, the hour has come!"
shouted again and the courtyard door was opened, and Tan Cuiying, who had been waiting for a long time, had already walked out with Xiaozhu. Kang Miao smiled and said, "It's not very old, but it's an anxious child!"
Liu Gu pressed the hilt of the knife and said, "The second young master of my family said, manly, you have to be in a hurry when you start doing things, and you must not procrastinate!"
Tan Cuiying naturally knew that Liu Guxin admired Liu Haojia very much, and I don't know how many times the words "Second Young Master" came out of his mouth along the way! He smiled and said, "Got it, got it! Your second young master is right!"
Then she turned back to the two of them and said, "I'm going to visit Miss Zhang, I hope I succeed!"
Kang Miao smiled and said, "It's just a personal visit, but you say it's so tragic! Is it possible to build and sing?"
Xie Jianniang also said with a smile on the side: "I see that you guys are a little windy and cold when you go out, but I don't know which one of Xiaozhu and Liu Gu is Gao Yuanli and which one is Qin Wuyang?"
Xiaozhu opened his mouth and wondered who Gao Yuanli and Qin Wuyang were? Liu Gu said loudly, "Then Qin Wuyang must be Sister Xiaozhu! If I were Qin Wuyang, I would definitely poke King Qin a few swords before Jing Ke made a move!"
Several people laughed when they heard this, Xie Jianniang praised Liu Gu for his good ambition, and Kang Miao praised Liu Gu for his success in studying. Then there was a lot of laughter before sending them out.
When they arrived at Liu's house, because Liu Gu had reported in advance in the gatehouse, the porter was not embarrassed, and went directly to ask someone to invite a maid to send Tan Cuiying and the others to the back house.
