Chapter 7 Shuangfeng Villa
There was no market on this day, but the streets were still bustling and lively. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoTwo young people walked around, and when they came across a distinctive shop, they went in and took a turn, and when they came across an interesting stall, they stopped and took a look. As soon as he walked around, Guo Shichao found that Meng Yu was really not suitable for shopping with others. Compared with the free and hearty when he was able to knife yesterday, Meng Yu was actually a very boring person in private. No wonder his clothes are so inconspicuous, if it weren't for his long figure and heroic face, he would be unforgettable, walking on the bustling streets of the capital, it must be out of the crowd.
Guo Shichao is not a self-acquaintance, so the two of them are even more sullen shopping. Sometimes when he sees something of interest, Guo Shichao wants to stop, but Meng Yu doesn't seem to notice Guo Shichao's thoughts at all, and often walks over quickly, so that Guo Shichao has no choice but to follow him, and he is very depressed. But knowing that Meng Yu probably has such a personality, Guo Shichao is not surprised, he is actually more interested in this detective himself. Street, when you can't go shopping, you don't have to be accompanied by Detective Meng. But Detective Meng himself is really worth studying.
Walking to a stall selling plants, trees and flowers, Meng Yu suddenly stopped, squatted down, he looked around twice, selected a few pots of flowers that looked bright and beautiful, and asked the flower seller: "Boss, do these kinds have flower seeds?"
The boss replied, "Where is the son going to plant, if you are at home, it is good to move some branches." ”
Meng Yu said: "My family is in Xiyuzhou, and I want to bring it back." ”
The vendor said: "Listening to Gongzi's accent, I am not from the capital." He also said, "I'll help my son choose a few flower seeds that are good to live in Xiyuzhou." Meng Yu said happily: "Thank you, boss." ”
Then I talked carefully about the price with the boss. In normal times, a broad son like Guo Shichao has long been impatient, and at this time, he has the psychology of studying Meng Yu, but he is very interested in it.
Waiting for Meng Yu to carefully put away a few small packets of flower seeds, Guo Shichao said, "Meng Gongzi likes to plant flowers?"
Meng Yu smiled: "It's for my sister." She has been in poor health since she was a child, she can't practice martial arts, and she can't be tired of studying, so she likes to plant flowers. ”
Guo Shichao asked: "Is Miss Meng already very skilled in planting flowers?"
Meng Yu replied: "It should be, the surrounding neighbors and my father's colleagues need flowers at home, and they all take them from my house." My sister is not very old, and she has been planting flowers for almost ten years. ”
Guo Shichao crossed his arms and said with a smile: "These flower seeds carefully selected by that son, I'm afraid I will be laughed at by Sister Ling when I go back." ”
Meng Yu was stunned: "How ......?"
Guo Shichao said: "Presumably Meng Gongzi usually sent flower seeds to Miss Meng, right?"
Meng Yu nodded puzzled: "Yes!"
Guo Shichao said: "Presumably Sister Ling is happy to take it every time." ”
Meng Yu was even more dazed: "Yes!"
Guo Shichao said: "Hey, Meng Gongzi, you chose the most ordinary and cheapest grass flower." I heard that Miss Meng has a very good temper, and she must be afraid that your brother will be sad, so you will send her anything. ”
Meng Yu suddenly patted his head and said, "I didn't understand these things in the first place."
Guo Shichao said: "It just so happens that I also like flowers." I saw several species of flowers that are rare in the south, but can also be grown alive in the north. I'll pick a few, write a good seeding method, and Meng Gongzi will give it to Ling Mei, and I'm really happy to keep Miss Meng this time. ”
After speaking, Guo Shichao squatted down to negotiate with the vendors, and wrote the name of the flower and the simple planting method and precautions in each paper bag, and then he would get the money without bargaining, the price was really not cheap, and it looked like a rare flower seed.
Meng Yu smiled: "Guo Gongzi is really a cool person. ”
It's a joy to be able to use your knowledge to help others!
Guo Shichao also smiled happily: "I'm hungry, let's eat!"
The two came to the most prosperous commercial street in Beijing, there are two very large, luxuriously decorated restaurants across the street, Guo Shichao said: "Why don't we play a fresh one today, and choose which one to choose with copper coins, okay?"
Meng Yu saw that his childishness had not gotten rid of him, so he smiled: "Guo Gongzi, please." ”
So Juxian Lou was lucky to be selected. And even more fortunately, Guo Gongzi secretly planned to know the money in his heart, but he still wanted to see what the thrifty Meng Gongzi planned to invite him to eat, and he wouldn't send him away with two baked cakes and two bowls of braised noodles, right?
The two sat down, and Xiao Er came over and quickly put down the dishes, and at the same time beckoned: "What do you use for the two masters?"
Guo Shichao was thinking to see how Meng Yu, the thrifty emperor, entertained him, so he said: "Meng Gongzi is familiar with the capital, you can order food." ”
Meng Yu was refreshed this time: "Xiao Er, take a jar of the best wine." The carp should be braised more than half a pound alive. Slaughter a live chicken and steam it, then roast a leg of lamb, and marinate it for a while with wine and condiments before roasting. Ask for some fresh fruit and vegetable side dishes to accompany the wine. ”
Guo Shichao smiled secretly in his heart: "This Meng Gongzi is generous to his friends, and he is not afraid to hold on." ”
Xiao Er quickly brought up the wine and side dishes, and the young people loved to drink them, and the two of them chatted again while drinking.
After half a morning, Guo Shichao really liked Meng Yu a little. Although Guo Shichao is a rich son, he is a kind and pure young man, and he has not been contaminated with the problems of those prodigal children, and he likes to fellowship with sincerity more when treating others. He felt that Meng Yu was really a friend to make.
Meng Yu was stunned, and suddenly remembered something: "Brother Guo Xian, you have never been to Xiyuzhou, where did you hear that your sister has a good temper?"
Guo Shichao said: "Hey, Miss Meng's reputation is now spreading far and wide, otherwise Xiao Gongzi would not have ...... yesterday" Guo Shichao saw Meng Yu's eyebrows twisted, and hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I won't say it, anyway, now I know that the emperor has a very beautiful cousin." ”
This is really a thing that Meng Yu is worried about, Meng Xue is not yet fifteen years old, but there are many people who are worried about her sister now. Since he was a child, his father didn't care about the house, and his mother was also a person who didn't let her eyebrows go, and she didn't care much about the child's thoughts. But my sister Xiaoxue is delicate and in poor health. Although Meng Yu is not often at home, only he has noticed some things that have happened recently. And the parents seemed to have heard of it, but Meng Yu, who was already thinking about it, was worried about Meng Xue's future.
Guo Shichao looked at Meng Yu as if he didn't know what to think, so he smiled again: "To be honest, now that your brother and sister's name, Meng Gongzi is greatly behind Miss Meng. However, "
Guo Shichao is the kind of person who talks a lot to people with a temper and a lot to his friends, and he smiled narrowly: "However, I am particularly interested in you as a detective." ”
Meng Yu shrank back in fright: "Don't be so scary when you speak, I have something that interests you." ”
Guo Shichao blinked: "Presumably, if Meng Gongzi wants to ask me today, he hasn't finished asking yet." ”
Meng Yu smiled, this Guo Shichao is also a clever boy.
"That's true," Meng Yu no longer changed his role, "Before the murder, what did Guo Gongzi do when he went to Han Zhengjie's Ruihe Silk Village?"
Guo Shichao said: "Since Meng Gongzi is a detective, he won't know what business our Guo family in northern Jiangsu does." ”
Meng Yu immediately said, "What kind of business?"
Guo Shichao subconsciously said: "Be a weapon......"
As soon as he finished saying these words, Guo Shichao saw that Meng Yu was already smiling evilly.
He was stunned. Walking around the streets this morning, I lost my vigilance, and the words naturally came out of my mouth.
Meng Yu seemed to have drunk too much, and pointed at Guo Shichao with a red face: "This is what you said! This is what you said!"
Guo Shichao couldn't cry or laugh: "Brother, are you awake or really drunk now, I don't understand." ”
Meng Yu burped, wiped his chest, and then looked at Guo Shichao and said, "I'm normal now, let's have a good chat." At this time, Xiao Er had already brought the roasted Yellow River live carp, hot steamed chicken and roast lamb leg to the table, and the fragrance was immediately overflowing, and the guests at the table next to him all stretched out their heads to watch, and some immediately asked Xiao Er to serve the same dish!
Guo Shichao looked at Meng Yu helplessly: "Okay, I can't play with you." Actually, I don't say that Meng Gongzi probably guessed it. My family has been licensed by the government for generations to build weapons for the imperial court. Needless to say, there is a lot of money for this item, but it must be recorded after it is built. In addition to the direct collection by the state, the rest of the scattered orders must also be handed over in time within a time limit, and cannot be kept privately. ”
"But where there is a system, there must be exceptions. Han Zhengjie has been running a gang in the capital for many years, and he wonders if he doesn't need weapons? In addition, after he became bigger and bigger, he began to have more problems, and he often needed to develop some new types of knives, guns, and sticks. In short, compared with the needs of the imperial court, the amount he wants is completely negligible, and we in Shuangfeng Villa do not necessarily need to make this money. But he has a lot of power in the capital and has many connections, and my family also has a lot of things that need to be used by him. Therefore, what he needs, we have always met unconditionally, and it is delivered by my father or uncle in person. This time, it was because I was old enough to go out and handle affairs alone, so my father told me to deliver the goods safely. Basically, there are less than 1,000 pieces, and my family doesn't need to ask for darts. Our villa itself also escorts particularly important darts for the government. The relationship has been opened all the way, so it was very smooth to settle with Han Zhengjie in the capital. It's just that he wasn't there that day, he handed over it to his deputy, and asked him to forward his father's handwritten letter to Han Zhengjie. It was only when I met the knife the next night that I really met Han Zhengjie himself. I don't know what that guy was killed the next day had to do with me. ”
Then Guo Shichao pointed at Meng Yu: "My last sentence just now was nonsense, what does this have to do with you." ”
Meng Yu looked at Guo Shichao: "You are the most active cooperative I have ever seen." ”
Guo Shichao sandwiched a chopsticks and the fish boss ate unceremoniously: "It's good to eat after that." ”
Meng Yu looked at Guo Shichao and smiled: "This matter really has nothing to do with you." Whether it's a weapon delivery or a homicide. However, there is a relationship between these two things. ”
