Female supporting roles rely on food to save themselves

Chapter 506
Gu Xiang took Xue Ying straight to the back door of Fan's house, and at the same time grabbed the soldiers of the imperial city who were always by Li Sheng's side and entrusted him with a few words, ordering him to go back and inform Li Sheng, and send people to support him quickly, and watch See how many fewer guests are in Fan's house today, but have they all returned home safely?

"Is it okay for the two of us to chase?"

Xue Ying smiled and didn't speak, but he didn't stop walking.Gu Xiang knew it in his heart, the maid in her family is not reckless at all, if she smells a little danger, she will definitely choose to avoid it first, I can't say how timid she is, but she is definitely more cautious than Gu Xiang herself A hundred times.

While talking, the two went out the back door.

It was past noon at this time, the sun outside the door was just right, the warm wind was warm, the traffic was still like flowing water, the horses were like dragons, bustling and lively, and there was no trace of war.

Gu Xiang stamped his feet, and his expression became a little subtle.

Dare to feel that the nerves of the people in the capital are so thick, they were going crazy inside just now, crossbow arrows flew around, crying, and outside, even the peddlers walking around the streets with baskets refused to hide?
Xue Ying smiled and said: "It should be because of this house... When we came, I found that the location is quite strange, it is a very good house."

At that time, she moved to save a sum of money to buy someone else's old house, so as to change the heart of the little lady's place of residence.

When the old house of the Fan family was built, some organs were arranged, and it was difficult for the sound in the garden to be heard. These characteristics alone showed that the old house of the Fan family was unusual.

Gu Xiang blinked, and also remembered some things written in Changrong County Master's essay, and couldn't help laughing.

The princess mentioned the old house of the Fan family in her gossip, saying that it was the princess who presided over the renovation. During the renovation, her secondary school spirit exploded wildly, and she came up with many wonderful ideas, but the people around her didn't care. Satisfy.

It was only after it was completed that she found out that those organs that she spent a lot of time and money on were really not very useful.

This house was built in the capital.

What can she use this house for?
Is it possible to train soldiers and play horseback riding games every day?
Just thinking like this, it would be better to build a village in the suburbs, or directly occupy the top of the mountain to build a hunting ground, which would be more enjoyable and cost less.

She even thought about it, but she could use this place as a facade to run a bustling business.

The princess even thought that she would make portraits of the courtiers, officials in the palace, and queens, stick them on targets, or make them into dolls, build a tree-hole house, and let the guests enjoy themselves. Have fun with the occasional emperor.

It's just that as soon as this idea came up, she just muttered a few words after dinner, and she didn't speak so bluntly, and she didn't mention the officials and the queen. Noisily arranging the retreat of the family members.

Princess Changrong: "The officials didn't say anything after hearing it, they just turned my eyes blank, so what are you doing?"

Gu Xiang: "..."

The princess's age before wearing the book, at least in her heart, may be younger than her, otherwise these whimsical ideas would never come out.

He had also experienced Princess Evergreen's quick thinking. Later, the princess gave Fan Zhenghong the house and asked him to settle down, and he readily accepted it without daring to refuse.

Gu Xiang wondered earlier how courageous these people must be to dare to make such a big move in the capital.

In fact, none of the guests dared to doubt the identities of those 'official servants of Dali Temple' at the beginning, and this was the most important reason.

Who would have thought that there would be people in the important places in Gyeonggi who would dare to pretend to be officials and attack such wealthy merchants as the Fan family?It was the time when the old lady's birthday banquet was chosen, and there were the most people from the aristocratic family.

Looking at it now, the Fan family has hidden so many spies from other people. It is afraid that even the roots have been dug out.

Gu Xiang smiled: "For the things left by Princess Changrong, we need to find a safe place to put them."

Just a few words of gossip, Gu Xiang followed Xue Ying's footsteps without stopping, looked at each other for a while, and then went straight to Huaibei Lane to the west.

Instead of an ordinary birthday banquet, the guests left halfway, if it wasn't for something urgent, it would indeed seem a bit rude.

The Fan family is different today.

At that time, it was obvious that the Fan family was going to have a scene of brotherly rivalry, and many guests who didn't want to get involved naturally wanted to leave.

It is also unlikely that the Fan family will keep customers. As far as Gu Xiang observed, there were at least a dozen men, women and children who left on the way.

With so many people, it is impossible to go out one by one and transport one away.

And just now, those fake officials from Dali Temple entered the gate, the guests they met on the way straight into the garden, and the few who made a lot of noise afterwards were also taken away. There were probably a dozen or so people.

Lin Lin finally did the math, adding up to twenty or thirty.

In such a short period of time, with so many people, and none of them are ordinary people, it is impossible to get a carriage, put everyone in it, and leave the city lightly.

The capital city is not those small county towns outside, the rules of the imperial city are strict, not to mention the errands of Dali Temple, even if His Majesty's car has to pass through the city gate, it must be inspected.

When it came time to close the city gate, at least the emperor couldn't go out.

Compared with the main street outside, as soon as you enter Huaibei Lane, even the sun in the sky looks darker, the wind stops, and the sound seems to stop.

A row of big banyan trees were planted in the alley, with luxuriant branches and leaves. Gu Xiang took a look and knew that the old houses in this box were all inns leased to the people of the capital. There were shop houses on the wall Posted notices etc.

The house is about the same size, and there are a lot of sundries piled up in the alley, which looks very messy at first glance.As soon as Gu Xiang and Xue Ying came in, they saw a middle-aged woman squatting in front of the second wooden door, rubbing her clothes. Gu Xiang paused, walked over and asked with a smile: "Madam, may I ask if there are some people wearing silk clothes just now?" Luo's men entered the alley."

The woman looked up at her, shook her head, and said coldly: "We don't have a brothel here, how can there be so many strangers here?"

After finishing speaking, she lowered her head to rub her clothes again, looking very busy.

Gu Xiang smiled lightly: "My lady, why don't I teach you how a real poor woman should dress? There is nothing wrong with your clothes, it should be worn by ordinary women, but you wear such clothes, no matter what, You have to paint your face, neck, and hands too, so they don’t look so fair, and your teeth, it’s better to paint them a little darker too.”

Even in a wealthy place like the capital, the difference between women from ordinary families and women from rich and noble families is visible to the naked eye, very obvious.

"Also, you use too much force to wash your clothes. If a daughter-in-law from a really poor family washes her clothes with too much force and is too rough, she may be beaten by her mother-in-law and husband, and they will not waste it like this."

"The water for washing clothes should not use spring water in the mountains. Ordinary people can't even afford to drink it. How can it be used for washing?"

Before Gu Xiang finished speaking, the woman's expression changed, she lifted the clothes basin violently, rolled on the ground, and rolled towards the house.
