However, Mr. Gu has really thin skin and tender flesh, and his smooth skin is better than that of a girl. If it weren't for those sharp eyebrows, he would have thought that he was just a girl!
Ma Er thought about it in his mind, then galloped towards the teahouse. After running for three or four hours, he was about to starve to death.
Gu Chengyu and the others stopped in front of the tea house. When they got off the carriage, they saw a simple tea house. There was only one stranger in it, and the others were all bodyguards from the escort agency.
I quickly looked around and saw that the terrain here was open, the vegetation was all yellow in winter, and there was no cover.
Walking to Gu Wan's carriage, "Second sister, the tea house is not big, and it will definitely be inconvenient for you women, so why not just use it here to eat!"
Gu Chengyu observed it as soon as he entered, and found that their carriages were exactly in a circle, with a small open space in the middle. Gu Wan and the others could get off the carriage and rest, as they were exhausted from sitting in the carriage all the time.
Gu Wan lifted the curtain and took a look at the tea room over there. It was indeed small and shabby, with ventilation on all sides, and there were many men sitting around it.
"It's very nice here. Then you and your brother-in-law go and get some food!" Gu Wan and Sun Xian helped their mother out of the carriage and planned to rest here.
"Chengyu!" Ye Zhiqiu came down first, then helped his second sister and mother out of the carriage, and they greeted each other.
"Aunt Ye, I'm afraid I'm going to make you and Miss Ye feel uncomfortable. There are a lot of people in the tea room in front, so why not just squeeze in here with Aunt Sun and the others."
Gu Chengyu hurriedly apologized and went out with Ye Zhiqiu. It was usually arranged by Gu Chengyu, and this time was no exception. So if he didn't take good care of him, he still needed to say hello.
"Mr. Gu is too polite. How can we be so polite when we are away from home? Besides, we are not noble people, and Mr. Gu has taken good care of him. But we, on the other hand, have been troublesome to Mr. Gu, and we feel a little sorry."
Mother Ye actually felt very embarrassed. Gu Chengyu had asked someone to buy the ticket for boarding the ship. Gu Chengyu also hired the escort and carriage. They were considerate of her care along the way. How could they be ignorant and cause trouble for others?
"Mom, don't be polite!"
Gu Chengyu didn't look at Sister Ye. Ye Zhiqiu looked a little delicate. Gu Chengyu had also seen the two sisters in his family, and they looked like Xiaojiabiyu.
Second sister Ye is one year older than Ye Zhiqiu, and she will be fifteen after her birthday this year. Judging from the usual, they should be planning to kiss her.
However, Ye Zhiqiu wanted to go to the capital, so his second sister was delayed. Gu Chengyu guessed that the Ye family wanted to propose marriage to the second sister Ye in the capital, but it might also be because the second sister Ye wanted to earn more money for the family and support her brother's education.
Refuse to say goodbye.
After all, her eldest sister was like this, two years later than other girls in the family.
Since she is a big girl, she still has to take care of the defense between men and women.
"Brother Sun, time is running out. The escorts from the escort agency have already eaten. Let's go quickly!"
Gu Chengyu and the others still have to bring food to the female family members and let the escorts wait, which is always not good.
"Guests, what do you want to eat?" The waiter at the tea house's eyes lit up when he saw Gu Chengyu and the others coming over.
This is an official road, and there are many traveling merchants. He has been working here for several years. The young man in front of him looks like he belongs to a wealthy family, and he will definitely be willing to buy food.
Gu Chengyu took a look at the table. In the meantime, the escorts were drinking hot water and biting into the noodles in their hands. A plate of peanuts and a plate of braised pork were placed on the table.
"What's there? Let's report it." Gu Chengyu smiled and greeted several escorts.
"Sauceed pig's trotters, braised pork, roast chicken, roast goose, all of them!" The waiter smiled so hard that he knew he was a big customer.
"Get two portions of everything, add some rice, and finally pack two portions for us to take away."
There are so many of them that I don’t know if they can come across a food shop on the road behind them, so they can eat on the way if they’re packed.
The escorts all glanced at Gu Chengyu. They often traveled as escorts and did not often eat big fish and meat. They all thought in their hearts that the young master was really not short of money.
Gu Chengyu thought about it for a moment. If he had to trouble others along the way, he should give him some benefits.
"I'll also cut up some roast chicken for these two tables. It's a treat for you all. I would like to thank you all for taking care of me along the way."
As soon as Gu Chengyu finished speaking, he really won the favor of these escorts. These were all cheerful people, and they all patted their chests and said that if something happened along the way, feel free to speak.
He brought the food to the female family members, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time.
"Xiaobao! I'm so hungry. I thought I wouldn't stop eating at noon! There is meat porridge here, let's eat some together." Gu Wan also became happy when she saw the roast chicken.
Gu Chengyu smiled and said nothing, watching as Ming Mo took out a small dark wooden box from his body, opened it and took out a silver needle from the silk rolled inside, and examined the dishes one by one on the carriage to confirm.
It was no longer poisonous, so he invited everyone to sit down and eat.
Gu Wan curled her lips when she saw this, "Are you too careful?"
Gu Chengyu Shiran sat down and said, "The world is dangerous. If you don't go out often, you don't know that there are many people in this world who harbor evil intentions. Our motorcade is very conspicuous. If we don't keep it together, some people may want to take action. So we should be careful to sail a thousand-year-old ship."
Sun Xian also agreed, "Chengyu is right, we'd better be careful."
There is no room in the tea room, so Gu Chengyu and the others can only make do with Gu Wan and the others. At this time, they cannot care about etiquette or impoliteness.
The carriage traveled for four days, and Gu Wan's freshness had long since worn off. The bumps along the way made her very uncomfortable. She was leaning against the wall of the carriage with her eyes closed to relax.
Gu Chengyu lifted the curtain and looked outside. He saw that the two days of walking went very smoothly. Although it had snowed lightly these days, he did not miss his trip. Fortunately, it was not mixed with rain, and the snow on the ground was not thick, otherwise the road would be terrible.
It also has to freeze.
The snow has stopped since yesterday, and the road is much easier to walk on.
Gu Chengyu looked at the mountain peaks in front of him. The mountains in front of him seemed to have been split open by an axe, with a road cutting off the peaks.
Gu Chengyu observed carefully for a while, and it seemed like a dangerous place for ancient marches. If someone rushed down from the mountains on both sides, or there were archers preparing for the convoy to pass by, they would definitely be outflanked, and the convoy would be like a turtle in a urn.
He had a bad feeling in his heart. Things had gone so smoothly these past few days. The man who escorted the escort looked like a fat businessman, but Gu Chengyu did not ignore the calluses on his right palm. This callus should be from holding a knife or holding a knife all year round.
The cocoon left by the sword.
"Mingmo, go ahead and see if the head of the five escorts has sent anyone to investigate. If he doesn't send anyone to investigate, you can come back to me and wait for my orders."
It is impossible for someone who has been a bodyguard for many years to turn a blind eye to such a dangerous place. Gu Chengyu felt that Mr. Wu should have some countermeasures.
"Yes!" Ming Mo knew that the young master had always been careful, so it was natural that he had such worries.
