This friendship is deep enough!

The corners of Liu Yunxiang's mouth twitched, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Mrs. Gu didn't have to ask one, two, or three, but seeing that Liu Yunxiang didn't speak, she stopped asking and continued to eat melon seeds.

Mrs. Li was not very happy when Mrs. Gu suddenly mentioned Yang He, and then deliberately snubbed her when she sat down at the table. But Mrs. Gu didn't eat her, she should eat and drink by herself, especially the other ladies were more familiar with her.

Mrs. Li also looked down on the wives of these officials, and there was some contempt in her words, but she was naturally enthusiastic about Liu Yunxiang, and this hot and cold made people see it more clearly.

The banquet did not last long, and after the feast, everyone left one by one under the pretext that something was wrong. Liu Yunxiang was still the last to leave, which was enough to give Mrs. Li face.

"These people are not from a high background, they don't understand the rules, they are not educated, they are not as good as the young lady who was born in Shengjing, especially the official family, Seventh Madame, please forgive me." Mrs. Li was not very happy.

Liu Yunxiang sneered in her heart, what do she forgive, those people didn't give her face.

Liu Yunxiang didn't answer this, nodded at Mrs. Li, and turned around and got into the carriage. Just walking out a short distance, the carriage suddenly stopped.

"Zijin, what's going on?"

"That Mrs. Gu stopped our carriage."

Liu Yunxiang opened the curtain of the carriage and looked over, and sure enough, he saw Mrs. Gu standing in front of the carriage, looking at her with a smile. She was a little baffled, but got out of the carriage anyway.

"Madam Gu, what are you?"

"At the banquet, I saw that Mrs. Seventh didn't use chopsticks much, thinking that those delicacies from the mountains and seas didn't suit your appetite, so I bought you a bowl of white porridge."

"White porridge?"

Mrs. Gu pointed to the stall buying porridge on the side of the street, "The red bean porridge boiled by this old woman is very delicious, can you taste it?" ”

Liu Yunxiang thought for a moment, smiled and said, "Okay." ”

The stall was placed on the side of the street, and after the two of them sat down, the old woman brought them a bowl of red bean porridge and a plate of small pickles. Under the expectant gaze of Mrs. Gu, Liu Yunxiang took a bite, the red beans were soft and rotten, melted in the mouth, and the mouthful was full of rice fragrance, and it was very ironing in the stomach.

She has a bad appetite these days, she has eaten less, and she has lost weight for a long time, and this bowl of red bean porridge is simply here to save her life.

"Hmm, it's delicious." Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but say.

Mrs. Gu smiled: "When I was pregnant, my appetite was not good, so I often came here to eat porridge." ”

Liu Yunxiang paused, and looked up at Mrs. Gu, "I just don't have a good appetite." ”

"Just at the table, a fishy dish came up, you covered your mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and if you didn't eat it right, you retched a little, and I knew what was going on when I saw it."

Now that it has been seen, Liu Yunxiang no longer denies it and continues to eat this bowl of porridge.

After eating most of the bowl, there is something in the stomach, and the person has the spirit. Liu Yunxiang looked up at Mrs. Gu, she was dressed very simply, not silk and satin, but there was a sense of arrogance in her bones, and she looked very beautiful. This kind of beauty is not rigid, but smart, and more penetrating.

"Mrs. Gu is waiting here, not just to invite me to a bowl of red bean porridge, right?"

Mrs. Gu smiled, "It's true that there is something to ask for." ”

"Yang He, Lord Yang's business?"

"Yes."

"You want to know how he's doing?"

"Yes."

Liu Yunxiang lowered his eyes and wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, "Lord Yang is locked up in a prison, how can Mrs. Gu think that I, a woman, will know about his situation?" ”

Madam Gu tilted her head and smiled, "Madam Li is such a person who climbs the flames, she is so respectful to you, you Seventh Madam must not be simple." ”

Liu Yunxiang let out a slight sigh, it seemed that she hadn't guessed her identity yet.

"Lord Yang eats well and sleeps well in prison, sings little songs when he has nothing to do, and recites poems against him, and no one has been in prison as chic as him." Speaking of this, Liu Yunxiang looked at Mrs. Gu, and saw that she was obviously relieved, so he said again: "Mrs. Gu and Lord Yang really have a deep friendship. ”

When Mrs. Gu heard this, she didn't shy away from anything, and said, "I liked him. ”

didn't expect Mrs. Gu to speak so directly, Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Actually, it's nothing, he looks like a dog, and he likes to provoke women, and it's common for me to like him. But he rejected me, and I didn't like it anymore, saying that I could marry my current husband, or he gave me the media. ”

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "Both of them are temperamental, and they are straightforward and refreshing. ”

Mrs. Gu was silent for a moment, and when she looked at Liu Yunxiang again, her face was much more solemn, "He is a good official." ”

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Since I came to Yanzhou, I heard many people comment on him like this. But I don't understand how such a good official, praised by the people, can be corrupt, and he is greedy for a million taels of silver. ”

"A million?" Mrs. Gu sighed, "He eats coarse tea and light rice, wears old clothes and patches, what is he doing with so much money, giving himself a golden body?" ”

"What do you mean by that Lady Gu?"

Mrs. Gu sighed, "He, he deserves it!" ”

This is really puzzling, but Liu Yunxiang wanted to ask again, and Mrs. Gu had already changed the topic.

"You have no appetite in the future, so you come here to eat a bowl of porridge, red bean porridge is sweet and glutinous, and mung bean porridge clears the fire. By the way, the wontons sold in the small shop in front of me are also good, and they are very clean. ”

With that, Madame Gu stood up.

"My husband is a cripple, it's inconvenient to do a lot of things, I have to go home early."

Liu Yunxiang stood up and nodded to Mrs. Chonggu, "Then we'll have a chance to talk about it another day." ”

"Okay."

Seeing Mrs. Gu leave, Liu Yunxiang beckoned Zijin to come and sit down, and asked her for a bowl of red bean porridge.

Zijin took a bite, nodded again and again, and then took a big gulp.

The old woman came to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and Liu Yunxiang saw that she was a little struggling when she bent over, so she picked up the dishes and chopsticks and handed them to her.

"Thank you, girl." The old woman thanked her again and again.

Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "You are so old, why are you still selling porridge here?" ”

"My son died in the war, and I had to help my daughter-in-law raise those three children together. Fortunately, the boss is already able to work, and when he marries his daughter-in-law, I will quit. ”

The old woman said while cleaning up, Xu was bored for a day, and finally someone listened to her, so she talked a lot about her at home and abroad. Liu Yunxiang listened carefully, and thought of something, so she asked the old woman if she knew Yang He of Qianfutai, and what kind of person he was in her heart.

"That kid, good man." The old woman sighed.

"Is he a good officer?"

"What does it mean to be a good official, I only know that he is a good person." The old woman shook her head as she spoke, "A good person is not necessarily a good official, and a good official is not necessarily a good person." Sometimes you have to choose the same, this kid chose to be a man first and then an official, is it wrong, maybe it's wrong, or he will be arrested by the people above. But our people are grateful to him, if there is no him, there would be no Yanzhou today, and there would be no good life for us to eat and wear. ”

The old woman was babbling, and Liu Yunxiang seemed to understand something.
