The master prepared a woodshed for the two of them. The servant who took the money whispered, "Don't run around. Our master will definitely kick you out if he sees it."

"Then what should we do if we eat, drink, and have diarrhea?" Gu Qiu asked.

The servant brought a wooden barrel and said, "Lazar is right here! It's nothing for just one night. As for food and drink, I'll give it to you. You won't waste your money after all."

Zhao Tianyi frowned and said, "With our dime of money, we can stay in the best inn for three nights!"

"Then you go find the best inn!" The servant glared and said, "Can't you live here? If I don't pay you back, leave!"

Gu Qiu pulled Zhao Tianyi and said to the servant, "Okay, okay, we're almost here to live. We'll have better food. Otherwise, you give me back the money, and we'll sleep in the open air at worst."

Seeing that Gu Qiu really wanted to take the money back, the servant quickly said, "Don't worry, I've already said that I won't let you spend your money in vain."

After the servant left, Zhao Tianyi took a step back and became angrier as he thought about it, and said to Gu Qiu, "Sir, let's sleep outdoors! This money is too much spent."

Gu Qiu took matters into his own hands, laid out a pile of firewood, and said with a smile, "Brother Zhao, money is an external possession. Isn't this firewood shed quite good? You can light a fire when it gets cold at night."

"If you light a fire in the woodshed, you won't be afraid of lighting up the entire house." Zhao Tianyi said in shock.

Gu Qiu said with a smile, "If it can relieve Brother Zhao's anger, I'll just order it."

Zhao Tianyi quickly waved his hands and said, "No, Da Lilu, arson is a serious crime. If caught, you will be exiled for three thousand miles."

"I'm joking." Gu Qiu smiled.

However, the servant didn't dare to go too far. After nightfall, he brought a food box with three layers and five dishes in total, and also made a pot of soju.

"Don't feel that your money is wasted. This table of dishes is specially prepared by the village's chef. It costs a lot of money!" The servant whispered, put down the things and said, "Don't make any noise at night. Our family is the best in the village." Prominent, with many rules, if you let me take advantage of you, I will tell you...!"

"What!?" Zhao Tianyi raised his thick eyebrows and almost missed the steel gun in his hand.

The servant quickly retreated a few steps, "It's okay, you guys eat, eat!"

After the servant left, Gu Qiu picked up the food with chopsticks. The five dishes were quite generous, including Sixi meatballs, pickled toon sprouts, fried cabbage with oil residue, braised pork ribs with radish, and a plate of peanuts for two people. A big bowl of brown rice, paired with a pot of about half a catty of soju.

Zhao Tianyi said, "Together, it doesn't cost even one-tenth of the silver."

Gu Qiu smiled and said, "It looks okay. What kind of chef is that? What's his background?"

Zhao Tianyi said, "What's your background? Kouzi Chu is a cook who prepares funeral banquets for people. His cooking may not necessarily be delicious, but he is best at using limited money to make you look good so that you don't lose your status."

"If you have money for delicacies, they can take care of it. If you only have money for carrots and cabbage, they can also take advantage of it. In the end, your dinner will not be embarrassing, so it is quite popular among the people."

Gu Qiu suddenly realized that he had heard of similar cooks when he was a child, but he didn't expect that there was one in Tianwaitian. The two started eating and drinking with side dishes. Gu Qiu's favorite was the pickled toon sprouts.

The unique smell of Chinese toon may not be acceptable to everyone, but for those who can tolerate it, this taste is not something that other ingredients can give.

After the two of them finished eating and drinking, they leaned on the pile of firewood and got dressed and went to sleep. In the middle of the night, Gu Qiu heard a crackling sound, which sounded like rain.

Gu Qiu didn't think too much. When he got up early the next morning, he saw Zhao Tianyi with dark circles under his eyes. Gu Qiu smiled and said, "Brother Zhao, didn't you sleep well?"

Zhao Tianyi scratched his head and said, "I couldn't sleep well. I didn't know which family had a happy event last night. I spent the whole night fussing about it, but it annoyed me to death."

"A happy event?" Gu Qiu was stunned and said in astonishment, "I didn't hear any sound of playing or beating! Brother Zhao, did you hear it wrong!?"

Zhao Tianyi shook his head and said, "Absolutely not. I heard it for real. The suona blew my head to pieces."

Gu Qiu was still about to argue when he suddenly heard a cry outside the door. The two looked at each other and immediately opened the door and walked out. They saw people from the head of the household gathered in a circle, with a fat old lady in the middle holding a young man. , it’s miserable to cry.

"Brother Zhao, are you sure it's a wedding?" Gu Qiu raised his eyebrows. He had heard that girls' families cry a lot, but I've never heard of men's families crying when they get married. Are you planning to get married? ?

At this time, an old man dressed as an official was holding a piece of red paper in his hand. He was trembling all over. He was supported by the housekeeper and cried, "What can I do!? Why did the River God come to my house to choose a bride?" My family has done their best in offering sacrifices every year, and this year they even gave birth to a cow and three big fat pigs. No family around here is as dedicated as my family, so how could they choose my family?"

While the member was crying, a group of people outside the door surrounded the member's family in great excitement. The leader was a little old Taoist with sharp monkey cheeks. He held a whisk in his hand and said to the member, "Qin Yuanwai, since the River God has chosen his own wife, If you live in your family, please make the young master wear red and colorful clothes and get married to the River God as soon as possible!"

Yuan Qin's body was shaken, and the fat old lady immediately rushed out of the crowd and shouted to the little old man, "No way, my son won't go, my son won't go!"

The little old Taoist narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Exceptor Qin, this is not up to your family. It is a rule set by the Qin Shuang River God for hundreds of years. Why, other people's sons can marry the River God, but your family can't? Three years ago The youngest son of Mr. Wu’s family, your family sent someone to arrest him for drowning. Today... Mr. Qin, please don’t make things difficult for me!"

The Qin member had a tangled look on his face, with big beads of sweat pouring out from his forehead. He walked up to the little old Taoist and said, "Taoist Master Yunxu, my family is the only son of three generations. Do you think you can discuss it with Lord Heshen? I The Qin family is willing to pay to repair the temple for Lord River God, and also asks Lord River God to show his kindness."

The old Taoist Yunxu said with a face full of displeasure, "I don't like to hear what Qin Yuanwai said. What does it mean to be arrogant? Being able to marry Lord River God is a blessing you have cultivated for several lifetimes. What do you think it is!"

Qin Yuanwai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and pulled Old Taoist Yunxu in, then closed the door and shut out the villagers. Then he said with a sad face, "Taoist Master, you can take whatever you like from my house. I just beg you." Please help me to make peace, we can’t let my family become extinct, right!?”

Old Taoist Yunxu stroked his mustache and said with a smile, "Well, we are old acquaintances, so I will help you. I will take a look at all the good things in your house. If there is anything you like, I will help you." You, in addition...I heard that Yuan Qin has taken in a new concubine, who is not yet sixteen this year, hey, I'm an expert...!"

Officer Qin's face turned ugly, and the fat old lady immediately said, "Here you go, give it to you, just take it, vixen, as long as you protect my son's life!"
