Gu Chengyu opened the curtain on the window and looked into the yard. A middle-aged man wearing dark blue coarse cloth walked out of the house.
When he arrived in the yard, he seemed to be surprised that there were so many carriages.
He quickly opened the courtyard door and said, "Uncle Hua, what is this?"
"Oh! This is a noble person who wants to stay at your house. Look, it's convenient! He can't make it to the next market town."
Although Old Man Hua wants to make money, he will not be stingy if he lets passers-by rest for a night, even if he doesn't have money. Who doesn't have inconvenience when he is away from home?
Gu Chengyu got out of the car. He was the village chief. Since he wanted to stay overnight, he couldn't put on airs in the car, right?
He bowed his hands to the village chief and said: "I have met the village chief. I am passing through your village. I see that it is getting late. I want to stay in the village for a night before leaving. I would like to ask the village chief for his convenience."
Old Man Hua took a look and saw that he was really a young man. However, he was shocked by his nobility and outstanding appearance.
He prides himself on being the most knowledgeable person in Daniu Village. He has also traveled far and wide, and he has not seen many such handsome young men.
The village chief also had studied for several years. He saw that he was a human being and quickly returned the courtesy, "This young master is so polite! The young master also saw my house. If seven or eight people can live there, it won't be a problem. If there are more,
Then I won’t be able to live any longer!”
The village chief opened the courtyard door, allowing everyone to see the structure of the house more clearly.
Sun Xian and Ye Zhiqiu also got off the carriage, and they were also worried about staying overnight.
Gu Chengyu looked at it and realized that this house was probably the best in the village, so it could only be given to Miss Yao. There were four women in total, and it could have accommodated seven or eight people. It would definitely be a waste to only accommodate four people.
Besides, having four women living here is always unsettling.
Gu Chengyu was in a dilemma. In fact, it was best for him to live here with Yao Mengxian. He was Miss Yao's elder, so he could take care of her nearby.
Sun Xian understood. He was older than Ye Zhiqiu and Gu Chengyu and had already thought of this.
He lowered his voice and said to Gu Chengyu: "Why don't you take Miss Yao to live here? There are no good houses in the village. Miss Yao is a girl's family after all. I think this house has north and south wings. If you live here, you can help me with anything.
Get busy!"
Ye Zhiqiu didn't care. His family was almost the same as in the village before, and was even poorer than this village!
"Then let's find some land for our senior brothers first." Gu Chengyu and Sun Xian were so familiar with each other, so there was no need to be polite.
"Dear gentlemen! My house can accommodate people, and the remaining people can be accommodated even if it is crowded." Old Man Hua took the opportunity to step forward and introduce himself.
Afterwards, Gu Chengyu accompanied him to Hua LaoTou's house and took a look. Although it was dilapidated, the house was big enough. Sun Xian and the others stayed at Hua LaoTou's house tonight.
"Miss Yao! You have also seen this village. Only the house of the village chief's house is better. I have to keep everything simple when I am away from home. I hope the girl doesn't mind." Gu Chengyu came to Yao Mengxian's carriage and told her about staying overnight.
"It doesn't matter! It's better to stay in the village than to stay in the wilderness. I know now is not the time to be particular." Yao Meng's gentle voice sounded from inside the carriage.
The village chief frowned a little. He didn't expect that this group of people would be accompanied by female relatives. She sounded like a young girl? He hesitated a little.
Before the village chief could ask, Gu Chengyu asked the driver to drive the carriage directly into the yard. Gao MaMa, who was in the car, got off the carriage first.
When the village chief saw that everyone had entered the house, he could only swallow what he said. With so many of them, nothing could happen.
The village chief shouted into the house, "Damn it! Come out quickly, we have a distinguished guest!"
A woman agreed and walked out of the house. She was busy working in the kitchen. When she came out, she wiped her hands on the cloth in front of her. There was also a younger woman behind her, who must be one of them.
's daughter-in-law.
"Hey! We really have a distinguished guest. Come in and sit down! I'll boil water and make tea!" The village chief's wife had already heard their conversation from inside the house, but she was a woman and no man in charge called her.
, and it’s not easy to go out to entertain guests at will.
The daughter-in-law at the back looked at the carriage in front and Gu Chengyu and the others, and then her eyes shone a little. Her eyes looked around Gu Chengyu, and then looked at Yao Mengxian and others who were getting out of the car.
Gu Chengyu looked at it and felt that this daughter-in-law must be a money-lover. Because when she saw the jade pendant and the materials of the clothes he was wearing, she couldn't hide the greed in her eyes.
I'm just afraid of being greedy for money, but I'm afraid of having bad thoughts. There is still property on the carriage behind them, so it seems like someone will have to keep a vigil tonight.
"Dad! I heard we have a visitor!"
At this time, a man carrying farm tools came in from outside. The man was not tall, a little thin, and looked somewhat similar to the village chief's wife.
When the man entered the yard and saw the carriage and Gu Chengyu and the others, his eyes were exactly the same as the way his mother-in-law looked at them, and he also looked at Yao Mengxian and the others a few more times.
Yao Mengxian was wearing a curtain hat, so her appearance could not be clearly seen, but Lian Xin and Qing Dai were also good-looking. They were both twelve or thirteen years old, in their prime, as young as flowers.
The man looked at these young girls, and his face turned red with embarrassment as they looked him over. He felt that although they were young, they looked very charming. He shook the hands holding the farm tools.
In fact, Lian Xin and the others were not shy, they were obviously angry. Yao Mengxian also saw the man, and she frowned through the gauze curtain. The man's eyes did not look like a decent one. She was a little worried about the night, but don't be intoxicated.
What a wolf den! It seems that I need to ask Mr. Gu to pay more attention to it later.
When the village chief saw it, he knew that his son's old habit had recurred. He originally thought that all the people living in the house were men, so there would be no problem, but who would have thought that there were women here?
"Ahem! Gou, why don't you put your things in the house? Don't rush into the distinguished guests."
"Hey!" The man called Gouwa entered the yard, turned around and looked at Lian Xin and the others before entering the east wing. As soon as they entered the east wing, Gu Chengyu and the others heard a quarrel inside, and the woman's voice was high-pitched and loud.
sharp.
The village elder blushed and said, "Everyone, please go into the house first! The west wing is for the female family. My mother-in-law just cleaned it and it's very clean! As for the young master and your entourage, there are two side rooms next to the main house.
The wronged young master will make do with it."
I used to think that they were all men. There are two rooms in the west wing, so it’s okay to be crowded. The two rooms in the main room are smaller after all. Now, it is not suitable for men and women to live in the west wing together.
Gu Chengyu took a look and saw that the west wing was not far from the main room, so he nodded. He told Ming Mo and the others to take down some of the things they usually used and deal with them that night.
Together with the two guards, they lived in two rooms. The six coachmen, Uncle Gary, followed Sun Xian and others to stay at another house.
