During this time, he followed Liu Haojia around, and other brothers taught him their experiences. He was much smarter than other children of the same age, and he had seen idle people in front of city gates everywhere. He originally wanted to show off his skills in front of his sister, but he encountered a unique Tianjin county, which made him feel at a loss!
It’s not that there are no idle people in the city that day, it’s just that Liu Gu is unlucky! Before he came, most of the idle people in Tianjin were hired away, and all the idle men on the streets were arrested and used as laborers. The few who were not arrested were hiding at home and did not dare to go out! So at this time, the city of Tianjin is as clean as if it has been washed with water!
Tan Cuiying and the other three were laughing and joking on the carriage. Suddenly they felt the carriage stop, so they asked Liu Gu. When Liu Gu told the situation in a depressed manner, even the three of them were very surprised! However, Tan Cuiying still said: "It doesn't matter if there are no idle men! You can go find the soldiers guarding the gate and reward them with a few more coins."
Hearing this, Liu Gu patted his head and said, "Sister is really smart! In fact, I forgot what my brothers taught me!"
However, he was still a little worried about dealing with soldiers, but he remembered that his brothers once said that the flying fish suit he was wearing was the best document, and most people always have to show off some face! Looking at the soldiers napping against the city wall by the city gate, he became even more confident!
He rode his horse to the soldiers who came to the side of the city gate. There were more than a dozen soldiers gathered here, most of them were dozing off holding their spears, and the remaining few were also chatting together. It was a bit strange to see a young man in Feiyu uniform running towards him on horseback!
However, the soldiers guarding the city gate were all from the civilian army. How could they offend someone wearing a flying fish suit? So a small flag officer stationed here hurriedly stepped forward and raised his hands and said, "I wonder what the superior's orders are?"
Liu Gu stood up and said, "Brother, my younger brother was ordered to escort someone to Tianjin. It's just my first time here and I don't know the way, so I would like to ask my brother to send someone to take us to Liansheng Inn! The brother who runs the errand will have tea money to give to us!" "
After speaking, Liu Gu took out a small bunch of copper coins from his waist and threw them directly. This string of copper coins is not many, just ten in a string! He put a total of six strings of such copper coins around his waist. This is what his brothers taught him!
People from Wu Ningbo Mansion always give rewards when they go out to do things for others. If they don't do it, they will lose the face of the host family. If they reward them too much, they will waste money, and they will be easily laughed at! To treat this kind of person, dropping ten copper coins is just right, it seems generous but not excessive!
The little flag official reached out to catch the copper coins and knew how many they were without counting. Because they took on a lot of similar errands, they often received rewards. Although today's Jin Yiwei is young, he is well-spoken, generous and measured in giving rewards. He must be from everyone!
So he said very politely: "It's easy for this superior to run an errand, so there's no need for a reward!"
After saying that, he pretended to hand the copper coin back, but Liu Gu directly blocked it with his hand and said, "A little money for tea is nothing. I'm just asking for my convenience!"
The flag officer relaxed after hearing this, turned his head and shouted behind him: "Sanmaozi, come here! Lead the messenger to Liansheng Inn!"
Following the words, an ordinary soldier ran over and said repeatedly: "Uncle, I know where the Liansheng Inn is, not far, not far!"
As he spoke, his eyes looked at the string of copper coins in Xiaoqiu Guan's hand. The little flag official wanted to kick him when he saw his virtue, but he was his nephew after all, so he could only sigh! He wiped out five cents on the money string and stuffed it into his hand, saying, "Go and come back quickly!"
Sanmaozi took the copper coins and smiled happily! He raised his hands to Liu Gu and said, "Just go with me. The Liansheng Inn is not far from here!"
After Liu Gu thanked the flag officer, he hurried back to the carriage, urged the driver to move forward, and followed Sanmaozi to the inn. After that, Liu Gu directly revealed his identity as Wu Ningbo Mansion and told the shopkeeper that he would place three female guests here. They would leave after visiting Miss Zhang.
When the shopkeeper heard that it was Miss Zhang who was visiting, he naturally did not dare to neglect, so he specially chose a quiet place across the courtyard to house the three of them. I also gave a special discount.
After Tan Cuiying and the others settled down, she said to Liu Gu who was running around to help: "Brother, you have worked hard along the way! Don't rush back home now, sister will treat you to a drink!"
Lang, a twelve or thirteen year old boy, really likes to imitate the behavior of adults. Especially when he heard that his sister invited her to have a drink, he instantly felt that he was an adult and naturally agreed immediately.
Then Tan Cuiying took the reward money and sent a few soldiers away, and asked the shopkeeper to call for a banquet. The four of them ate very happily! The only thing Liu Gu was dissatisfied with during this period was that he only got three cups and his sister refused to let him eat.
Fortunately, Liu Gu also knew that her sister was afraid that she, being the youngest, would harm her health if she drank too much. Besides, it was my first time to run an errand alone, so it would be hard to go back smelling of alcohol. We can only leave it at that! But they had made an appointment for Liu Gu to pick her up at noon tomorrow.
After noon on the second day, Liu Gu came to the inn in a hurry, knocked on the door and shouted: "Sister, sister, the time has come!"
After shouting that the courtyard door was open, Tan Cuiying, who had been waiting for a long time, had already walked out with Xiaozhu. Kang Miao smiled and said, "You are young but you are very impatient!"
Liu Gu pressed the handle of the knife and said, "My second young master said, as a man, you have to be quick and furious when doing things, and you must not procrastinate!"
Tan Cuiying naturally knew that Liu Guxin admired Liu Haojia very much. The words "Second Young Master" came out of his mouth so many times along the way! Then he smiled and said, "I know, I know! Everything your second young master said is right!"
Then she turned back to Kang Miao and the two of them and said, "I'm going to visit Miss Zhang. I hope I will succeed immediately!"
Kang Miao smiled and said, "I'm just visiting someone, but you say it's so tragic! Is it possible that we still have to build but can't sing?"
Xie Jiaoniang also smiled and said: "Looking at you going out, you look a little windy and cold, but I don't know which one of Xiaozhu and Liu Gu is Gao Jianli, and which one is Qin Wuyang?"
Xiaozhu opened his mouth and wondered who Gao Jianli and Qin Wuyang were? But Liu Gu said loudly: "Then Qin Wuyang must be Sister Xiaozhu! If I were Qin Wuyang, I would definitely stab King Qin with his sword before Jing Ke could take action!"
Several people laughed after hearing this. Xie Jiaoniang praised Liu Gu for his good ambition, while Kangmiao praised Liu Gu for his success in studying. Then they laughed and laughed again before sending them out.
When they arrived at the Liu Mansion, since Liu Gu had informed the concierge in advance, the concierge was not embarrassed and went directly to ask for a maid to send Tan Cuiying and Tan Cuiying to the back house.
