Go to ancient times to catch fast

After Chu Xiaoyun left Zhou's house, he took down the money bag entrusted to him by Gu Yuanwai from his waist in the morning, twirled it in his hand a few times, and decided to go to Gu's house to return the belongings to the original owner, and then go to the Zhuang mansion to supervise the work.I looked up at the sun, it was already noon, I rubbed my stomach, I was already hungry.Zhou's house is much closer to Gu's house than to go back to the county government, so Chu Xiaoyun decided to find a small stall on the street for lunch and deal with it.

Through a few alleys, it is the main street.Chu Xiaoyun sat down at a wonton stall, and said to the boss, "Here is a bowl of wontons, don't cook them too soft."

"Okay." The boss replied, "Chu Butou, wait a moment, you still have two bowls ahead, it's your turn."

"Okay, no problem." Chu Xiaoyun replied, putting his saber on the table.

When the wontons came out of the pan, Chu Xiaoyun looked around boredly.Looking at the numerous shops on both sides, the endless stream of people on the street, and the vendors yelling for business, this kind of prosperity contains a peaceful life, which gave him a sense of accomplishment in protecting and accomplishing.

"Aunt Qian, I saw that woman who was kicked out by the Gu family went to your house in the morning. What is she doing at your house?" A conversation suddenly came to Chu Xiaoyun who was looking around.The word Gu family in the words caught Chu Xiaoyun's attention.

The woman who was kicked out by the Gu family?Chu Xiaoyun thought, are you talking about Zhou Ying?He couldn't help pricking up his ears.

"Stop talking, it's so early in the morning, it's really bad luck! Doesn't my family have a vacant house to rent out? She's here to rent out the house." The person called Aunt Qian who bought vegetables at the vegetable stall next to the wonton stall replied with a basket on her shoulders. road.After answering, he clasped his hands together and murmured, "Ah, Bodhisattvas and Buddhas of all walks of life, old lady, my family is clean and self-sufficient, please don't let these bad lucks contaminate my family."

"Ah, why does she still have the nerve to come out and show off?" The woman who asked the question exclaimed in disbelief, "You didn't rent it to her, did you?"

"Who dares to rent a house to a woman who has been defiled and divorced by her husband's family? Isn't that asking for bad luck!" Aunt Qian hurriedly bowed to the sky again.

"Then has she rented a house?" the vegetable vendor asked.

Aunt Qian shook her head contemptuously: "Anyway, no one on our street rented a house to her."

"Ah, their Zhou family's house is about to be confiscated by the government. If they can't rent a house, where does she live?" The crowd of vendors next to her began to gossip.

"Yeah, she's still very pitiful. Think about how much Young Master Gu doted on her in the past. It's really up to the sky, and down to the ground!" It sounds like the talking aunt seems to be very pitiful to Zhou Ying.

"Then you rent your house to her. Don't you also have a house to rent out?" Someone booed.

"Forget about it. My daughter is not married yet, so don't learn from it." The aunt who pitied Zhou Ying earlier said, "Besides, she offended the Gu family. The Gu family used to be in the surrounding states, not to mention our Hejing county." County, they are all big families second to none, who would make trouble with the Gu family, go and help her."

Aunt Qian curled her lips: "We ordinary people can't afford to take care of this kind of thing. After I leave, I have to go back and cook for the old man."

Someone next to him said: "Don't eat too much at noon, Gu's family will hold a flowing water banquet tonight to entertain all the people in the city. I have seen a lot of chickens, ducks and pork being transported into Gu's mansion. The ostentation is so angry! Keep your stomach and eat at night." Go eat at his house!"

"Really? I don't know about this yet." Aunt Qian said pleasantly, "Then I have to inform my relatives in the suburbs. The Gu family has always been generous in giving, and now they are happy to welcome Young Master Gu back home. This banquet will definitely It's rich. Let's go."

Aunt Qian walked away with a smile, and the crowd dispersed.

At this time, the owner of the wonton shop also brought up Chu Xiaoyun's wontons: "Chu catcher, take your time."

Chu Xiaoyun called to stop the owner of the wonton shop: "The Gu family is holding a running water banquet today, to entertain all the people in the city?"

"That's right. Catcher Chu, don't you know?" The owner of the wonton shop said excitedly, "I'm going to go out to see the excitement at this stall today."

Chu Xiaoyun was incredulous: "Haven't all the servants of the Gu family have been dismissed? Where did they come to do these things? Besides, there are so many people in the city, if they really want to go, can their family invite them over?"

The owner of the wonton shop smiled and said: "After the young master Gu regained his freedom, the Gu family began to recruit people back one after another. The streets in front of and behind the Gu mansion are all the properties of the Gu family; it can even be said that Hejing County The entire Dongcheng is almost all the property of the Gu family. In the past, more than half of the people in our county relied on the Gu family for food. Later, something happened to the young master Gu, and the Gu family’s business shrank, giving up a lot of property. But it’s still no problem to have a running water feast like a thief Yes. Every time the Gu family engages in this kind of grand ostentation, every household in the streets near the mansion is a helper, and every household is a place to hold a banquet. In the past, when Young Master Gu got married, the Gu family also hosted a banquet for the whole city , it's not a problem at all."

Although Hejing County is only a county seat, it is located in an important water and land transportation route, and it is a relatively prosperous county seat.According to Chu Xiaoyun's understanding of Hejing County after working in the arresting house for so long, Hejing County has a population of about [-], which is not a small-scale county in modern society.Even if not all the people in the county go, but people from the suburbs and the countryside may also come to the city for this.For example, Aunt Qian just now was going to inform her relatives in the suburbs of the city that the actual number of people dining should be quite a bit more.It can accommodate nearly [-] people to eat at the same time. If this kind of mobilization and cooperation ability is put into modern times...

No, it was even more terrifying in the era when the division of labor and cooperation was not so popular in ancient times!

It is said that it is impossible to allow others to snore and sleep on the side of the couch. No matter who the superior is, such ability is a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of those in power.Not to mention anything else, assuming that he is the one in power, if such ability cannot be completely controlled by himself, it is absolutely intolerable.He still remembered Shen Wansan, the richest man in the Ming Dynasty who he knew from history books in the modern society.What is the reliance of the Gu family to make such a high-profile publicity?Are you not afraid of getting burned?

Chu Xiaoyun felt that even if he didn't pay back the money bag, he still had to visit the scene.

Thinking of this shocking fact, as a policeman in his previous life, Chu Xiaoyun, who had always established a sense of stability in his heart, could no longer eat with peace of mind.Looking at the people around them, they still looked beaming, unaware of all the possibilities that might be hidden in the potential storm.

Chu Xiaoyun absentmindedly ate a few mouthfuls, paid the money and hurried to Gu's house.

Not more than a month later, Chu Xiaoyun came to the Gu family mansion again, and the scene he saw was completely different from Xiao Se when he came last time.Every household on both sides of the street hung red lanterns and long strings of lanterns. There were traces of firecrackers set off in front of many houses, and some children were lighting firecrackers with small firecrackers.Every household, old and young, is full of festive atmosphere, and congratulates each other when they meet.If Chu Xiaoyun hadn't remembered the time, he would have thought it was the Spring Festival.

The entrance of Gu's house is even more crowded, and there is an endless stream of people who come to ask for a lottery.The street where Gu's house is located is busier than the busiest commercial street in Hejing County where he had dinner just now.

Such a huge contrast, if Chu Xiaoyun hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, Chu Xiaoyun would never have believed that all of this was true.But in just one month, it is simply incredible.

Chu Xiaoyun stepped forward and said to the servant at the door: "Chu Xiaoyun, the house arrester in Hejing County, is visiting, please inform me."

When the servant at the door saw Chu Xiaoyun, he showed a warm smile on his face: "Chu Tutou is our young master's great benefactor. Our master and young master have ordered that Chu Tutou visit without notification. Please follow me in."

I didn't expect that I could still have such a face in the rich and powerful Gu's family. If it doesn't work at all, it's impossible.

Stepping into the Gu Mansion again, it was obviously not the first time, but Chu Xiaoyun felt as if he had come to a completely unfamiliar house.The haze that shrouded the house at the beginning has completely disappeared, and the house is brightly lit; there is no smell of candlelight and paper money, and there is no longer the lingering Sanskrit music.

Chu Xiaoyun was shocked by the scene in front of him and stopped.A figure came forward: "Chu Butou, why are you standing here, please follow me to the main hall."

Then he lightly reprimanded the servant who led the way: "Why are you so negligent of Chu Butou?"

The servant leading the way bowed his head and stood aside: "Little one..."

The person who greeted him was Gu Qingyun.Hearing Gu Qingyun's reprimand, Chu Xiaoyun smiled and said, "The mansion is so majestic, I'm fascinated by it. It's none of my business."

Gu Qingyun bowed his hands and saluted: "Chu Butou, why don't you let someone pass a word when you come here, so I can send a car to pick you up. The servants who went to the county government to submit a post are also not good at doing things."

Chu Xiaoyun was a little puzzled, but he didn't have time to think deeply, his attention was attracted by the blood oozing from the gauze wrapped around Gu Qingyun's wrist.

"Young Master Gu...why are you still bleeding?" Today can be said to be Gu Qingyun's happy day, and it is a bit unpleasant to mention the injuries he suffered in the prison, but Gu Qingyun has recuperated in the county government for so long. The Gu family will definitely have top-notch medical treatment.Why did the wound open instead?

Gu Qingyun took a look at his arched hand and put it down. The wide sleeves covered the wound on his wrist. Gu Qingyun said casually: "It's okay, it's okay. I came back yesterday to meet the elders of the clan. Dear Cha Tai Too many, maybe tired."

"Then we should do less activities recently." Chu Xiaoyun warned, "Don't leave any hidden dangers behind."

"Thank you, Catcher Chu, for your concern." Gu Qingyun hid his hand in his sleeve, and gestured towards the main hall, "Butou Chu, please come inside."

Chu Xiaoyun quickly waved his hands: "I'm very busy now, so I won't sit down. I'm here to visit your father, and I need Mr. Lao Gu to help pass the news."

"This... is there something so urgent, can't you go later? The county magistrate and Lord Bo will come soon..." Gu Qingyun said.

The Gu family also invited the magistrate to come?There are so many things going on today, it's really messy.However, Chu Xiaoyun didn't have time to digest this when Yu He was busy in the Zhuang Mansion by himself and was still waiting for him to sign.He said to Gu Qingyun: "Zhuang Di has absconded, and the property in the mansion is still waiting for me to check. I have to trouble Mr. Gu to help you please your lord."

"Brother Zhuang and I... Zhuang Di, originally thought that Boya was in love with each other. But I never thought..." Gu Qingyun was quite sad when he heard Chu Xiaoyun say that he was going to investigate Zhuang's mansion, "Since Catcher Chu has Gu is not forced to stay because of official business. My father welcomes guests in the main hall, and I will ask the servants to take you to the flower hall. I will invite my father."

"Don't think too much, Mr. Gu, it's not your fault." Chu Xiaoyun comforted.

"Hey——" Gu Qingyun sighed, all he wanted to say, "Chu Butou, wait a moment."
