Female supporting roles rely on food to save themselves

Chapter 704 Short Board
"Cui, sure enough, put all the accounts on Xiang Shenglong's head."

The old dog drove the carriage, and said vaguely, "But I can't blame her, it's the same with anyone else. I didn't find the writing paper left by Xiang Shenglong for the little lady. I don't know which one is so clever, hehe."

It seems that he is not careful enough.

Chen Xu was riding a horse, couldn't help but glanced at him several times, endured and endured, and finally couldn't hold back: "You eat when you eat, and talk when you talk, why do you talk while eating?"

The old dog rolled his eyes: "Do I still have to ride a horse to ride a horse, memorize materials to memorize materials, and sleep to sleep?"

Chen Xu: "..."

How is this the same!
He is hardworking.

Chen Xu was originally a latecomer in the big group of the Princess Mansion. If he wanted to come from behind, he had to work hard.

It's just that he's been really busy these days, and he didn't have time to memorize all the materials he collected and organized about the work process of the Princess Mansion, so he had to memorize them at night while he was sleeping, but he slept late at night and felt sleepy during the day. Carrying the materials on my back, I couldn't help dozing off.

Which soldier has never slept on horseback?
The horse in Chen Xu's family is very smart, even if he really falls asleep on the horse, he will never fall off.

While the old dog was driving, he kept talking, eating snacks, drinking tea, and some serious dry food—cooked cakes with meat, eating so much oil that his mouth was full of oil, and he didn’t delay talking, Chen Xu It was terribly uncomfortable to watch, always worrying that one day he would choke himself to death.

Gu Xiang was sitting in the carriage. There was a table in front of him, and four exquisite fruit plates were placed on the left. The plates contained freshly picked fruits with dew on them.

On the right is a leg of lamb and a roast venison.

The leg of lamb and the venison were delivered by the owner of the original Heifeng Village, the third owner of the old Heifengzhai, who is now the shopkeeper of the small inn. from the car.

After Qiu Li sliced ​​the meat, prepared tea and placed it in front of Gu Xiang, the meat was ready to eat.

The fresh fruit on the plate was also picked on the spot. It took no more than a quarter of an hour from being picked off the tree to being washed and served on Gu Xiang's table.

Gu Xiang couldn't help laughing: "Occasionally, you don't have to do it yourself, and enjoying the food cooked and delivered by others is a special taste."

Qiu Li also grabbed a piece of fruit to eat, and said with a smile: "Nowadays, businessmen like to settle in Guzhuang. In terms of safety, even the official roads of those prosperous and rich cities are not the same as our Guzhuang. For example, around our village, we can’t say that we don’t pick up things on the road, and we don’t close our doors at night. Even the escort guards passing by can hide their blades, put their swords in their sheaths, eat when they want, sleep when they want, and feel at ease.”

"The only thing I have to complain about is that the heads of the bodyguards are now willing to go our way. They are even willing to give discounts to the bodyguards on Gu Zhuang's side, but they don't give any discounts if they go to other places. I'm not very happy to go there, causing headaches for everyone in the Escort Bureau."

Gu Xiang walked comfortably all the way to the county town. When he went out, he drove lightly, but on the way, his bags became more and more. One store gave fresh fruits, and the other store sent roasted mutton, roasted venison, and some fresh fish and shrimp that just appeared. , just take a fresh word, and deal with it extremely cleanly, even the garbage was collected after eating, and she didn't let her worry about it.

No wonder everyone wants to raise their subordinates and take in younger brothers at this time of year. It is true that there are careful and proper people to take care of them, and life is comfortable.

As comfortable as Gu Xiang was along the way, Ms. Cui was miserable along the way.

After three disasters and nine hardships, she disguised herself and even got into a dung truck twice. When Mrs. Cui was gnashing her teeth, Gu Xiang had already arrived at the county seat.

It should have taken more than a day, but Gu Xiang and the others took less than half a day, which is still a comfortable and slow walk.

The old dog settled down early, and the lotus garden in Yong'an Lane is located on the street behind Xiang's clothing store.

At first glance, the two places are not close, neither is the same street, but if you come out from the side door of the lotus garden, you will be facing the backyard of the clothing store.

In the lotus garden, there is a small building for viewing and enjoying the shade. It is built beside the shimmering lotus pond, surrounded by lush trees. Sitting on it, you can just overlook several surrounding pavilions.

Gu Xiangdeng went up and laughed when he saw it: "Ms. Cui is indeed a cautious person."

Not to mention sitting in the small viewing building, even standing directly on the eaves of the clothing store, you can't get a glimpse of the details of the backyard.

The other party has set up various colorful sheds all over the yard, drying colorful fabrics, and really wants to discuss something in the backyard, and outsiders are guaranteed not to see anything.

It's a pity that her prudence and cleverness alone are of no use.

Gu Xiang chuckled: "It's not the long board, but its short board that can really determine the capacity of a bucket. This principle is applicable everywhere. Our people must not be left behind. We should all read and understand , it’s best to practice your skills again.”

Old Dog: "..."

He coughed, quickly spread the map of Shouling County on the table, and solemnly brought the topic back to the topic, "A few days before the ancestor worship, our imperial envoy disguised as Chen Xu showed up twice. It didn't take long for our people to discover that the business of this shop is much more prosperous than before, and the guys in the shop like to run out when they have nothing to do."

He paused, but there was still a bit of trouble on his face.

"According to the order of the little lady, our people waited for Xiang Shenglong to deliver the second letter and detained him. The county seat received the letter, and there were indeed frequent changes."

Xiang Shenglong's disappearance was not because he really 'sold' Mrs. Cui. He wanted to fight for credit. After hearing the news, he went back to the county seat. He was taken down by the old dog in cooperation with the guards of the imperial army, taking advantage of the darkness.

At this time, the kid was locked in a secluded cellar in Gu Zhuang.

Before he was arrested, the old dog's people whispered some gossip in Xiang Shenglong's ear, coaxing him to send two letters first.

In the letter, he complained that Mrs. Cui was always passive and sabotage, and he was not allowed to do anything, but whenever he wanted to go further, Mrs. Cui would stop him.

In the second letter, Xiang Shenglong said more bluntly - "The golden cicada seems to have shed its shell, and Cui may have a different heart. It is necessary to determine whether the golden cicada is safe as soon as possible."

"Looking at the current wind direction in the county, the people left behind, such as this Xiang Dahu who is nowhere to be seen, seem to have become suspicious of Mrs. Cui."

The old dog drew a circle on the map.

"As soon as these people received the letter from Xiang Shenglong, they ran around the vicinity of Academy Street."

The old dog frowned again: "But they are all wandering around like headless chickens, as if they really don't know the exact whereabouts of the imperial envoy. There are 27 alleys in Shuyuan Street from south to north. If our people really go door to door to find them, When will you find it?"

Gu Xiang smiled lightly, but before he could speak, his eyes suddenly fell, and not far away, Mrs. Cui, who was covered in sour body, disheveled hair, and rotten leaves on her temples, had already appeared in front of the alley.

"Maybe it won't be long before this lady Cui will be crying and begging the imperial envoy to show up quickly."
