In the early morning, Zuixiangju hadn't opened yet, and there were only a few breakfast shops around.
Xiao Yu and Yu Liufei had already changed their outfits. Xiao Yu was wearing an official outfit and had a beard. He gave Yu Liufei the luggage to carry, pretending to be a porter, and seemed to be a master and a servant on the road.
But at this time, Yu Liufei was holding a long sword in his other hand. At first glance, he was not a merchant. Merchant would not bring a servant who knew how to use a sword.
Yu Liufei was rugged, and in his coarse clothes he looked like a hardworking porter. The most important thing at the moment was how to handle his sword.
Xiaoyu glanced at the big alley heading north, remembering that when she was looking for the old Taoist priest yesterday, she passed by the bridge creek. Not far from the creek was a lake in the city, and beside the lake was the forest suburb with dense woods. Xiu Huang Attack Festival. If they originally wanted to go north, they would go north wherever they went, so why not hide Yu Liufei's sword in the forest, earn the old Taoist priest's money, and then go to the forest by the lake to change their clothes and continue traveling north.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yu took Yu Liu to fly to Beicheng. At this time, the time was still there, and there was no sign of anyone in the small building by the lake. He and Yu Liu quickly ran into the forest.
The two hid their swords on a camphor tree with dense branches, and Yu Liufei fell to the ground again.
Xiaoyu looked at Yu Liufei's appearance, then touched some dirt from the ground and stuck it on his face, trying to make it as messy as possible, then took a piece of hemp rope to tie his hair, and then touched it from his arms. He also had a beard attached, making him look more like a farmer.
Yu Liufei put mud on his face and asked Xiao Yu: "Xiao Yu, what do you want me to dress like this?"
Xiaoyu touched his beard and wiped some dust from the ground on his face. He looked older and replied with a smile: "Brother Yu, you will pretend to be my porter later and you will carry the luggage." , I’ll carry the money, and let’s go to trick the old Taoist priest together. After we wait, we’ll meet up here, and if we lose this guy, the old Taoist priest won’t be able to recognize you and me in front of us.”
It was the first time that Yu Liufei followed Xiao Yu to do something deceptive. Feeling excited and a little worried, he giggled and said, "Okay."
Diagonally across from Zuixiangju is the Lai Family Bank. On one side is the teahouse I heard about yesterday, and on the other side is the deserted mansion. The only person living in it is the fat widowed woman. Yesterday, I heard the woman scolding the street. Zhuo Shi is so tight.
The old Taoist priest is in good health. If they can let the shrew hold on to the old Taoist priest, they will be able to escape with peace of mind. They have to make a careful plan.
The two of them turned back to East Street, with a lot of dust on their faces and bodies, looking dusty.
On East Street, at the entrance of the abandoned big house, I looked at the old characters "Gong Family" on the sect.
This house is the shrew's home, the Gong family compound.
It's the time when frost appears in the early morning and the weather clears up in winter, usually for several consecutive days. Apart from a slight chill on the streets, the snow has melted away.
In the corner facing the street on one side of the Gong family compound, there are already many scattered farmers setting up stalls selling vegetables.
For the convenience of movement, the two of them hid all their clothes and luggage on the big camphor tree in the forest. At this time, the only things they carried were a pole and the package of stones that Xiaoyu was carrying.
Xiaoyu asked Yu Liufei to hold his pole and stand beside the stone steps at the entrance of the Gong family courtyard, like a porter waiting for his master, while he walked towards the entrance of Lai's bank with small steps.
"Dong dong"
After gently knocking on the door twice, a housekeeper opened the door crack and looked at Nian's 'Xiao Yu' sleepily.
The boy thought Xiao Yu was a customer who came to exchange money, so he said to Xiao Yu: "Sir, the bank has not opened yet. Please wait a moment, the owner is still greeting the guests."
Xiaoyu waved and said with a smile: "Brother, I'm not here to exchange money. I'm here to ask if an old Taoist priest in yellow robe lives here. I'll ask him for fortune telling."
When the boy heard this, he was stunned for a moment. He thought of the old immortal master who stayed with the village owner yesterday, and replied: "The old immortal master is a distinguished guest in my house. Sir, I'm afraid you will have to wait for a while to ask him to tell your fortune. The old immortal is here with me." My master planned the layout of the yard and said he wanted to create a feng shui bureau for the rockery pond to attract wealth.
Where's the treasure? Sir, please come in. You might as well wait in front of the counter while I open the bank and wait for the old immortal master to come out. "
Xiao Yu waved, and she was sure that the old Taoist priest was still in the courtyard. She smiled and said to the young brother: "It's not in the way, it's not in the way. My followers and I are sitting on the stone pillar over there. After the old immortal master has finished his work, it won’t be too late to ask him when he comes out, so I won’t disturb you at the house.”
The boy replied apologetically: "That way I won't keep you, sir. After all, I'm just a janitor. If I keep you, I can only say that you come to the bank to exchange money. I can't say for sure. Please do it, sir."
Xiao Yu thanked him a few times and said goodbye to the boy.
Watching the sun rise, the boy opened the door and started preparing for business.
Yu Liufei saw Xiaoyu put her hands inside her sleeves and walked back with her hands in her arms, and asked, "How's it going?"
Xiaoyu nodded, "The Taoist priest is still there." After Xiaoyu finished speaking, he glanced at the Gong family's house behind him and muttered in his heart: The old Taoist priest is still there, but he doesn't know when he will be able to defraud the Lai family of all their money. The shrew isn't in her position yet, she needs to be invited out.
If you don't stop doing it, why not repeat the same trick and stand outside the Gong family's house and let Yu Liufei walk up to the door and knock on the door of the Gong family's house.
Yu Liufei frowned and asked Xiao Yu, "Xiao Yu, aren't we waiting for the old Taoist priest? Why are we knocking on the Gong family's door?"
The corner of Xiaoyu's mouth raised
Dear, this chapter is not finished yet, there is still another page^0^ He smiled and said to Yu Liufei: "Brother Yu, just knock on the door. I have a clever plan."
"Knocked on the door here, what should I say?" Yu Liufei asked.
Xiao Yu replied: "Just tell me that my boss wants to rent a yard. Leave the rest to me. Just act as you see fit and don't talk too much." When Xiao Yu listened to the shrew scolding the street yesterday, she could ignore the words of the passers-by around her. Remember, the shrew of this house wants to rent out her house. She doesn’t want to sell it, she just wants to be a long-term owner and collect rent. You might as well take advantage of this and trick this shrew who likes to curse.
Yu Liufei nodded. He didn't know what kind of medicine Xiaoyu Gourd sold, or what the big family behind him did. He was determined to listen to Xiaoyu. It was correct, so he ran straight to the door of the Gong Family Courtyard and knocked on it. A few times.
"Dong dong dong"
"Dong dong"
"Is there anyone there?" Yu Liufei knocked on the door twice, but when the boy didn't see him, he looked at Xiao Yu in confusion and asked.
Xiao Yu curled her lips and replied, "I can't afford to hire the doorman at their house. Brother Yu, try harder. If it doesn't work, just shout, 'Is there anyone? My boss wants to rent a yard!'"
Yu Liufei followed the instructions, grabbed the copper ring on the door, knocked hard several times, and shouted: "Is there anyone? My boss wants to rent the yard! Is there anyone? My boss wants to rent the yard!"
"Who is it?! It's early in the morning and you're in a hurry to go to the funeral! Why are you knocking? I'm here!" An old woman in the yard rushed over to open the door, yelling and cursing as she walked.
The fat shrew, wearing a coat, opened the door of Gong's house, frowned impatiently at the big man in front of her, and asked in a loud voice:
"Who are you? What do you do?"
Yu Liufei replied: "The one who rents the house! Well, that's my boss!"
Seeing this, Xiao Yu carried the package on her back, walked over with a smile, and when she went up the steps, she deliberately shook her package and dropped the five taels of silver that she had put on the edge of the package yesterday. , then pretended to be careless and muttered:
"Hey, why am I so careless?"
After Xiaoyu finished speaking, he deliberately picked up his silver in front of the shrew and stuffed it into the package. When he stuffed it, he used some force to squeeze the uneven pebbles inside until the package bulged. It looks like it's all made of silver.
When the shrew saw this, she thought to herself: It turned out to be a rich guy, saying he rented the yard? This is great, I'm getting rich. So his face immediately changed, from being impatient to smiling, and said: "So we are distinguished guests. Do you want to rent a house?"
Dear, this chapter is finished, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
