Chapter 6: Little Troubles
Above the canal, from a distance, this estate is somewhat inconspicuous. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
However, when the ship docked and got closer, it was realized that this was not an ordinary manor, and it was completely different from the vast mountain villas on earth. It's not so much a manor as a small town.
The houses are connected, stretching very widely, covering an area of more than ten miles.
Along the way, Gu Quan introduced the history and architectural structure of this manor to Gu Xiaozhao.
Let's put it this way, this is an attempt by him to break the awkward atmosphere between the two, to break the invisible ice wall that separates father and son.
It's just that his attempt is somewhat futile.
Gu Xiaozhao was still silent, not showing emotions such as excitement, happiness, excitement and nervousness, the whole person was expressionless like an ice cube, and there was no resentment, uneasiness, or resentment in his eyes......
This son, he can't see through it.
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy is so calm, how many must he go through to be like this......
Crossing the long wooden trestle bridge, reaching the end of the trestle bridge, is a memorial arch built with white marble, the pillar is as high as ten zhang, the interval is also ten zhang, and there is a huge white marble plaque across it, and the plaque is engraved with three big characters with golden runes.
"Comfort room!"
Anle room is the third room of the Gu family, the twelve rooms of the Gu family, each room has a name on it, like the name of the Gu family's big room is Changle room, and the large number of the Gu family's twelve rooms is the jade sword room.
Looking from the boat, it looks like the gate of the manor.
In fact, this is just a memorial arch, under the archway is a white marble avenue, the road is ten zhang wide, in the middle, there is a flower bed, the avenue is divided into left and right sides, and the pedestrians and carriages are all on the right.
The flower bed does not go all the way to the end, there is a break point in the middle, through which people can turn and turn back.
It is like a road built on earth, except that it is not a car that walks on such a wide road, but all kinds of carriages and pedestrians.
On both sides of the road, there are three or four storey wooden buildings with a height of seven or eight feet, which are basically commercial and residential, the ground floor is a shop, and the top is a house, with many signboards, and the sound of selling is endless.
This is another scene from Dishui Guanfang City.
In Gu Xiaozhao's life on earth, he had watched a lot of costume dramas, and the layout here was similar to that of Hengdian, but it was much more spacious and atmospheric.
This white marble avenue is like the trunk of a large tree, from which there are many branches that extend to both sides, and it is a street three feet wide, and on both sides of these streets there are also commercial shops, but most of them are small courtyards of houses.
At the end of the avenue, there is a majestic and ornate building, which is located on a small slope, and if you go up dozens of white steps, you can see a majestic gate, and at each end of the gate, there are two rows of runic warriors.
The sunlight fell on the talisman armor, rippling with silver light, which could be seen from far away on this side of the avenue.
Coming to the torii, several carriages were parked there.
Seeing Gu Quan and Gu Xiao summoning coming, the runic warriors in front of the carriage put their hands on their left chests one after another, clenched them into fists, and then bowed their heads to Gu Quan to show their respect.
Is this the etiquette of the Gu family?
It's pretty straightforward!
In ancient China on the earth, the more historic the family of gate valves, the greater the rules and the more cumbersome the etiquette.
Gu Xiaozhao originally thought that this world was the same.
Now it seems that it is my own difference.
This world is different from the earth, it is a world where the transcendent controls everything, and on the earth, everyone is about the same force, and compared to the group, the power of the individual is not a concern.
Even the legendary Lu Bu and Xiang Yu can only fight ten each, and this is still under the condition that they have a good bow that far surpasses others, as well as excellent armor with sharp weapons.
Therefore, it is also very important to pay attention to etiquette.
Through large-scale etiquette, people's group unconscious is stimulated, so that they have the mentality of being weak and expecting strong protection, so that they will very consciously submit to the strongman.
Even if this strongman is just a façade.
Therefore, the ten most hated sentences of the rulers of the past dynasties, the first sentence will always come from the mouth of King Chen Sheng.
The prince will have a kind of Xiangning!
Anyone who has a mentality must be killed!
This world, but different.
Here, don't mention the legendary saints who are born in all worlds with one thought, and those who can destroy all beings, not to mention the power that can create things in the void, and even, there is no need to talk about those celestial beings who can change the rules of the Heavenly Dao in the small world, and there is no need to mention those Dharma Physiognomy or Divine Rune Masters in this world who can move mountains and reclaim the sea, just mention those innate people.
It's just that at such a level of innateness, no matter how many ordinary people there are, they are helpless to take it.
Thousands or tens of thousands of ordinary people besieged the congenital, and in the end, they could only end up with the annihilation of the entire army.
Unless that innate is fighting them in a place like Sunset Gorge, otherwise, as long as the aura of heaven and earth is endless, the innate master will never get tired, just like the legendary perpetual motion machine.
In this case, how can ordinary people match?
Therefore, this world does not need solemn ceremonies and cumbersome etiquette to fool the public, because there is no need.
If you don't have enough strength, then you can only stay at the bottom.
Defy?
What if you are not convinced?
If you really jump out and shout, the prince will have a kind of Xiangning, and he will be taught how to behave every minute.
Unless you have the ability to be a monkey!
However, even Sun Monkey had the experience of being crushed under the Five Fingers Mountain, and in the end, he was recruited to become a member of the ruling class.
Just like that raging golden monkey, now, he has not been suppressed by Gu Xiaozhao, and in the end, most of them can only choose to give in.
Gu Xiaozhao didn't want to be a monkey, at least, he wouldn't choose to do so in this world.
It's not this sky that he's trying to break.
What he wants to break is the sky of the Nine Heavens, if it is not necessary, he does not want to cause extraneous branches, of course, trouble comes to the door, he is not afraid.
Whether it's a big trouble or a small one, he'll take it.
Now, he's in a little trouble.
To be precise, it was Gu Quan who encountered a small trouble.
Two quarters of an hour ago, Gu Quan and Gu Xiaozhao rode in the same carriage, accompanied by several armor warriors driving other carriages, from the archway to the end of the avenue.
However, the pedestrians or carriages on the street also consciously stepped aside, and then, putting their right hands on their left chests, bowed to the carriage.
This shows that Gu Quan, the head of the family, rarely does not put on a show.
As for whether those people or subjects sincerely admired him, that is another matter.
After entering the courtyard, I walked through several courtyards, among which there were green courtyards and empty practice grounds, and on the way, there were people who followed from time to time, and from time to time new people joined.
Zhan Jue stayed in the front yard.
People of his class can only stay in the front yard, the atrium is the forbidden place, and when they enter the backyard through the atrium, there are fewer people accompanying them, and in the end, there is only one runic warrior left, but the number of maids has increased significantly.
Gu Quan was going to take Gu Xiaozhao to see Mrs. Liu.
Since the death of his two sons, the Liu family has moved out of the compound where he lives with Gu Quan and lives alone in a small courtyard, which can almost be said to be isolated and rarely seen.
For Liu, Gu Quan's feelings are very complicated.
On the one hand, he doesn't like the other party's strength, and the stronger the other party is, the more he misses Gu Xiaozhao's biological mother.
On the other hand, he is grateful to the other party, not only did the other party give birth to two sons, but the other party's family background is also a great help, if it were not for the existence of the other party, most of him, the owner of the comfortable house, would not be able to sit steadily.
With the support of the Yidu Liu family, the plaque of Anle Fang was not taken off, otherwise, it would have been replaced by other Gu branches long ago.
Two sons died, and Gu Quan was equally sad.
Although, like Liu, he wanted to avenge his son, however, the enemy had no news, and the woman was not an ordinary runeman, but a great rune who had already stepped into the realm of a divine rune master with half a foot.
No one wants to fight with such a character for revenge.
Gu Quan and Liu, who wanted to work hard for it, did not have such ability, so Liu begged his mother's family, and his mother's family only wrote a letter to say some comforting words, which were worthless.
At this time, Gu Quan proposed to the Liu family to let Gu Xiaozhao recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and achieve the Gu family's three rooms.
Liu's mood can be imagined.
At first, it was naturally categorically not allowed, but a few years ago, under Liu's orders, countless killers circled around Gu Xiaozhao, but they failed to put Gu Xiaozhao to death. In the end, she and Gu Quan reached an agreement that she would no longer chase and kill Gu Xiaozhao, and Gu Xiaozhao would never be allowed to set foot in Puyang for half a step.
Now, the person he hated at the beginning not only swaggered back to Puyang, but even became his son.
Liu naturally couldn't accept it.
Later, the Gu family's room thought that the third room was the heir, and he had to have a son from the other room, and after knowing this information, the Liu family let go of his emotions, weighed the pros and cons, and finally agreed with Gu Quan to let Gu Xiaozhao recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors.
As mentioned earlier, a teenager who has nothing and a child who has a huge force behind him, who is easier to control and who is more likely to be controlled by himself, this answer can be imagined.
Of course, if you want to control Gu Xiaozhao, you have to have some means.
Therefore, Gu Xiaozhao had a closed door.
When I came to the small courtyard where the Liu family lived, the courtyard door was closed, only a gap was exposed, and a Taishi chair was placed at the door, and on the Taishi chair sat an old farmer like a hillbilly, and the old farmer had a dry tobacco bag in his mouth.
Smoke curls up from the top of the cigarette pouch, hovers in the air, and changes in various shapes, sometimes like a bird, sometimes like a flower, sometimes like a human, sometimes like a beast......
"Master Liu, I brought the child to meet my wife!"
Walking to the gate of the courtyard, Gu Quan bowed to the old farmer.
This old farmer's surname is Dai Wanquan, Dai Wanquan is a talisman who has half a foot in the realm of a great talisman master, and is a companion of the Yidu Liu family who married into the Gu family with the Liu family, to be precise, he is a member of the Liu family, not a subordinate of Gu Quan.
Dai Wanquan stood up, arched his hands a little sloppily, and his attitude was a little contemptuous.
"Miss said, Lang Jun is here, but please go in......"
After saying that, he glanced at Gu Xiaozhao, who was silent, with contempt in his eyes, and then gently knocked on the Taishi chair with a dry tobacco pouch.
"As for this kid, wait!"
