By the way, Xu Han, who wrote this travelogue, is said to be the son of a wealthy family. His family is extremely rich, and he is extremely intelligent. He was awarded the title of Scholar at the age of eighteen, and then stagnated. He failed in several examinations. end.
Frustrated, he began to travel around the country, traveling all over the country, "exploring the unreached places of the masters, and exploring the unknown places of others." After twenty years of travel, I wrote this travel diary. It not only records the delicacies and scenery of various places, but also covers the mining products.
People die for money and birds die for food. The attraction of two thousand taels of gold is quite huge. Caiwei held the travel notes and read them day and night. After reading for many days, she didn't have any clue.
Gu Jingzhi didn't rush her, because it was already twenty-nine and he couldn't lead everyone back to the capital to celebrate the New Year.
There were many more people on the way back than when they came. There were more than 300 people escorting more than 200 people, a total of more than 500 people. They were divided into two groups and followed the old Marquis and Gu Jingzhi back to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion to celebrate the New Year.
Caiwei and Cailian were still sitting in the car. They didn't expect that there would be traffic jams in ancient times. There were so many people entering the city at the South City Gate that they had to queue for half an hour before they could get in.
The streets were crowded, and people were flowing in and out of the shops on both sides. Some stalls displayed various snacks and New Year products, attracting people to stop and watch.
The two Cai Lian opened the curtain and looked at the excitement. Cai Lian sniffed hard and said, "Cai Wei, can you smell it? What does it smell like?"
There is a long queue in front of Sanshun Delicatessen Shop, and the smell of braised vegetables spreads far away.
Gu Jingzhi smiled. His sister-in-law was very greedy, and she could compete with her elder brother Jing Chao. Jing Chao loved the soy sauce beef in this shop the most. He could eat more than three or four kilograms in one meal. Now that he has done this, he will have more. Buy some, I guess he should be returning home from Xi Daying to celebrate the New Year.
After waving his hand, Gu Hu rushed over and said, "Second Master, I need to buy some cooked food to take back home."
Gu Jingzhi nodded and ordered: "Buy fifty kilograms of soy sauce beef, keep thirty kilograms in the house, and divide the rest among the five of you. You can buy the rest." Gu Hu accepted the order and stayed. Everyone did not stop and continued moving forward.
Seeing his second master's car approaching, the gatekeeper of Zhongyong Hou Mansion hurriedly opened the second door to welcome him into the courtyard. The servants are well-trained, and although they are busy, they are not noisy. As the carriage comes along, the maids, wives, and servants all stop to salute and say hello.
When they arrived at Tingxuexuan, there was silence at the door. Ping An flew off his horse and knocked on the door, "Second Master is back, open the door quickly!"
The woman guarding the door opened the door with a surprised look on her face, "Second Master, you are finally back."
Seeing the second master get out of the car, he hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, "Greetings to the second master. All the slaves in our yard are looking forward to the second master's return!" The master was not at home, and he didn't pay attention to Ting Xuexuan everywhere. The meals that arrived were not as elaborate as before, and the clothing materials that were handed out were also the last to be chosen. Even the New Year's reward has been distributed elsewhere, except for the portion in the yard that has not yet been delivered. It would be great if the second master comes back. Let's see if that shallow-eyed person still dares to treat Xuexuan lightly.
Mother Li heard the commotion and walked quickly from the east wing, "It's cold. Second Master must be freezing! Come in quickly, everything is packed." Several maids from the west wing also came out one after another and knelt on the floor. Greeting the master in a coquettish voice.
Gu Jingzhi nodded and said coldly: "Everyone, get up! Each person will receive an extra month's payment from my account."
The ladies all cheered, but the maids didn't dare to say anything, but they all smiled like flowers, "Thank you, Master, for the reward!" Muxiang hid behind Liu'er, smiling coquettishly, her red lips slightly raised, her long eyelashes raised, and she said to Gu Jingzhi gave him a wink.
The beauty was so charming, and her movements were so graceful. I was stunned by Cai Lian, and stammered: "Cai Wei, Mu Xiang is so beautiful!"
Caiwei pulled her and licked her lips in the direction of the master. Silly boy, didn't you see that the second master didn't want to see Muxiang?
Gu Jingzhi said "Huh!", waved his hands and entered the upper room.
The maids stood up, and Liu'er whispered: "Sister Muxiang, the second master doesn't seem very happy!"
"Oh no! Why didn't I see it?" Mu Xiang replied, why was she unhappy? She must have been embarrassed to see herself in public. His face was slightly red, and he glanced at Cai Wei and Cai Lian shyly. He was secretly proud of himself. They were just two small bean sprouts. How could the second master like them? What if he took them to Zhuangzi? Madam promised herself that after the new year He picked up the girl in the same room, twisted her waist as thin as a willow branch, and walked back to her room.
"Let's all go away and do your job." The backbone of the yard is back. Mother Li is happy and does not blame everyone harshly. She only asks everyone to do their part.
Turning to the two Cai, a smile immediately appeared on the face that had been straight just now, "You two girls have worked hard. It's all down to you two to serve the master. I see that the second master is in good health and his energy is better than before. You two are so different." Good job." He took off two twisted silver bracelets from his wrists and stuffed one into each person. "It's not a good thing, you two can wear it and play with it!"
The two of them looked at each other without refusing, thanked her, and directed her mother-in-law to help take the luggage into the west room. Caiwei took out a handful of big money and said with a smile: "Thank you for your help, mom. I will make a pot of wine for everyone during the new year." "
The mother-in-law thanked her happily and left. Without picking up the lotus, she lay down on the bed, touched the pillows and quilt, and sighed, "It's better to be at home!"
Seeing her lying down, Caiwei didn't look here, so she quickly filled the kettle with spring water and put it on the stove.
He smiled and answered: "That's right! A golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as the doghouse at home." After saying that, both of them were silent. They were both slaves who sold themselves. No matter how nice the house is, it is not their own home.
"Cai Wei, Cai Lian, the master has ordered you two to serve in the upper room!" Ping An's voice broke the silence in the room.
Huh! It's really strange. Gu Jingzhi has never let Cai Lian go to the upper room. Normally, he would avoid Cai Lian when he sees her and hide far away. Today, the sun is rising in the west.
"The uncle is here, please be careful." The three of them had stayed on Zhuangzi together for many days. They were afraid that they would collide and be punished, so they pointed to their heads and reminded: "Uncle, there are some problems here."
Caiwei was shocked when she entered the upper room. The uncle not only had a problem with his head, but also had a serious problem with his body.
I saw a black iron tower-like giant sitting next to Gu Jingzhi. Sitting there, he was much taller than Ping An standing. He had a big face that was long and wide, with slightly raised eyebrows and cheekbones, a huge nose, and thick lips. Two big fanning ears.
The two men knelt down and worshiped together: "I've seen you, sir."
Gu Jingzhi introduced to his eldest brother, "Brother, look, this is Cai Lian, Wu Cai Lian!"
"Hahaha, you're the girl picking lotus pods! I don't like eating that, I just like eating soy sauce beef." Gu Jingchao took out six or seven silver nuggets, "Here, my mother said, come to Tingxue Xuan if you want to say hello." Give her a reward!" Her big hands were as thick as cattail leaf fans, and her fingers were almost as thick as a baby's arms.
Caiwei was shocked. Her body was unusually tall and strong, and her hands, feet, and face were obviously different from ordinary people. Isn't this the legendary gigantism patient?
