Chapter 189 Time difference

There was a hustle and bustle in the village, besides the idlers who came from the shop street, many idlers in the village also came to join in the fun.

But not everyone has the leisure to watch the fun.

Guo's mansion.

Aunt Yu tore her handkerchief and paced back and forth in the lobby, looking at the door from time to time, "Master hasn't come back yet?"

Half an hour ago, a group of people from the yamen knocked on the door, saying that they wanted to check the coal shop of Guo's family. Aunt Yu, a mere woman, naturally couldn't show her face, so Master Guo came forward and took people there.

The servant girl has been staying here all the time so she doesn't know what's going on outside, she just didn't know how to answer when the outside door was pushed open, and a servant woman ran in in a hurry:

"Ma'am, it's not good, the master was taken away by the government!"

Aunt Yu slumped on the chair.

She guessed that things might be bad, but she didn't expect it to be this bad!

Ever since she was beaten up last time when the steward went to the official kiln to talk about the exclusive distribution rights of the Regent, she knew that something might have gone wrong, and she had been hiding at home in fear.

I didn't expect to avoid trouble!

The master usually eats, drinks, drinks and builds relationships with this nobleman and that nobleman all day long. He thought it would be useful, but he was taken away directly.

How good is this!

Aunt Yu usually checks the accounts of the shop, and it is the shop's job to do business outside, so she doesn't need to worry about it, but when things suddenly turned out like this, she just felt that her mind went blank.

"Quick, please take care of the matter, and invite the clansmen to discuss the matter!"

Guo Jiuniang couldn't go in to discuss matters, she was at a loss at the entrance of the yard and she burst into tears. Guo Qilang hurried back and was stopped by her, "Brother Qi, those people are so fierce, will Daddy not come back?"

Guo Qilang heard the general situation from the boy on the way, but the boy didn't know why the government suddenly came to arrest him. He was confused and anxious, but he didn't panic like his sister. .

"Go back and rest, don't disturb the discussion inside by crying here." He ordered.

Guo Jiuniang didn't listen.

"No, I'm going to wait here for my mother to come out."

Guo Qilang didn't have the heart to talk to her more, he stopped talking to Guo Jiuniang, and looked at the meeting room with a serious expression.

At this moment, there are many people in the meeting hall.

Shang Capital is someone from the Guo family who can talk.

There was so much commotion today, and everyone heard some rumors, but no one knew the specific reason why Mr. Guo was arrested, but seeing that the coal workshop was closed, it must have happened at the coal shop.

Without further ado, the patriarch called the managers of the coal workshop and asked them to explain what they had done.

The stewards lowered their heads and faltered, their eyes wandering to Aunt Yu from time to time.

Aunt Yu was very guilty, but she also knew that she couldn't hide it at a time like this, so she told the story of the coal shop going to various official kilns to discuss business recently.

Just didn't say it was her idea.

When they heard the words of the regent, the people above all took a breath.

The coal workshop is the dowry of Guo Liulang's mother. The Guo family knows it, but they don't know how to run it. When they heard that the regent was involved, they thought it was ridiculous.

The biggest official of the Guo family is just a county magistrate, a county magistrate of a small remote place, and because of a small coal workshop, he has a relationship with the now-famous King of the King!

"It really is the relationship between Liulang's grandfather's family?" The patriarch asked after thinking about it.

Aunt Yu nodded.

"Liu Lang said this to the master, but the master didn't say how to get in touch with him."

"You dare to go out and talk nonsense if you don't know?" The patriarch frowned.

"I..." Aunt Yu was a little afraid of the patriarch, and whispered:
"The master said to give it a try, who knows."

Because she was afraid of being held accountable, Aunt Yu left herself completely out of her words, and everyone present thought that Master Guo was responsible for the disaster.

"Confused!"

An old man was so angry that he slapped the table, "How should I try? Try with my own life? Or with the lives of the whole family?"

The expressions of everyone present changed drastically.

The life of the whole family?

I heard that if you offend a big shot, you will be punished by the Nine Clans. Is it really that serious?

The patriarch closed his eyes.

He doesn't know if he will be punished by the Jiu Clan, but this matter has something to do with the regent. Their Guo family has no power and no power, and there must be no good fruit in the end.

"Since the coal workshop is owned by Guo Liulang's mother, who has been taking care of it all these years?" one person asked suddenly.

Hearing this, Aunt Yu's body froze.

The big and the small in the family don't care about their affairs, and who else is worried about the family besides her!

But Master Guo has been pulled out just now, and she can't say anything now, so she has to bite the bullet and speak.

"Originally, Liu Lang was supposed to take care of it, but Liu Lang is not in Raozhou. The master and I occasionally help him look at the account books." Aunt Yu said lightly.

The patriarch's eyes lit up.

"Send someone to call Liu Lang back. After all, it is Liu Lang's mother's property. Since the He family can get the Regent, there must be a way to rescue him!"

Everyone else nodded in agreement.

The trouble should end it!
Isn't that what you said!
Aunt Yu was startled, "No!"

Everyone looked over in confusion.

Aunt Yu said: "The road to Anzhou is far away, and it's troublesome to go back and forth. We still need to find a way to contact the master and let him make an idea."

Aunt Yu subconsciously resisted Guo Liulang's return.

She is not afraid of Guo Liulang's return.

But I am afraid that Guo Liulang will come back and talk nonsense, exposing what she has done these years.

He was even more afraid that Guo Liulang would take this opportunity to take the shop back.

In short, she was unwilling to find Guo Liulang unless it was absolutely necessary.

Moreover, she selfishly felt that Guo Liulang might not be able to contact the Prince Regent. The master had said at the beginning that the He family only gained a little relationship with the Prince Regent through the strength of others, and there was no friendship.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be so sneaky and borrowing power.

"Naturally, we need to find a way to get in touch, but there is no delay in calling Liulang back." The patriarch said with a dark face, and turned to the other person, "You have a long way to go, take some money and go to the government office to find someone to take care of it, so as not to suffer in prison head."

The man nodded yes.

Aunt Yu's mind is in a mess at the moment. The patriarch has said so, and she can't refute, so she asks the housekeeper to pay the money to that person, "Then I will trouble you, second uncle."

Creek Village.

Bai Fu looked at the basket of cucumbers with bright eyes.

"My God, it's really cucumbers. How can there be cucumbers at this time?" She asked with a look of surprise and sighed.

Gao Yan smiled triumphantly.

Thanks to him asking Xiao Si'er about Xiao Bai's usual preferences in the morning, he was able to match him up.

"I asked the shop owner," he said, "it grows in the fire room, so it can grow in winter, but it grows slower."

Fire room
Is it a greenhouse?
Bai Fu's eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh in excitement.

"Where did you buy this? Can you take me to meet you?"

greenhouse!

Why didn't she think of this?
If next winter is also this cold, there is no need to worry as much as this year if you have a greenhouse!

It's just that I don't know how the fire chamber of this time and space is structured. Bai Fu has no research on this aspect at all, and with a little effort, he has already begun to think about how to find opportunities to learn from it.

If it really doesn't work, it's okay to have a cooperation, mutual benefit and symbiosis, and a strong alliance.

Bai Fu slapped very hard, with a bang, Huang Qiuyang shuddered and pained Bai Fu's leg.

"You'd better take it easy, don't let your left arm heal and your right leg hurt again." He muttered.

Gao Yan also nodded in agreement and said:

"No hurry, no hurry, it's the shop over there in Guojia Village. You can go there anytime when you feel better. I'll go and say hello to the boss later."

That's right, I'm hurting now, although my feet are not restricted, it's better not to toss about these two days.

Bai Fu'an resisted his excitement and temporarily put this matter aside.

After sending so many things, it was logical for a few people to stay for dinner. Everyone chatted with Bai Fu to relieve boredom, and Bai Fu heard something new about Guojia Village.

"Which Master Guo was taken away?"

For some reason, Bai Fu instinctively felt that this matter was not simple, put down his teacup with a suppressed smile and asked.

Seeing Bai Fu's expression suddenly changed, Xu Cheng was startled, and suddenly looked at Gao Yan with some uncertainty, and then said:
"I, I heard people watching the excitement say that it was Mr. Guo who was taken away. I don't know which Mr. Guo is."

Most of Guojia Village is surnamed Guo, and they are wealthy. It is estimated that there are no less than seven or eight people who can be called Mr. Guo.

Bai Fu frowned, and was about to let someone call Bag to come back to inquire, when he heard Huang Qiuyang who came back from the yard to get something to add:
"It's the Guo family coal shop master Guo I met last time, your old acquaintance."

Bai Fu: "."

It's really him.

Yunqi hasn't found any specific information yet, but Master Guo has been arrested here. Bai Fu thinks it must have something to do with the exclusive distribution rights.

Why are you so sure?

According to Gao Yan and the others, it has been a long time since the Bailu Town government has had such a big battle, which shows that the matter is not small.

After observing during this period of time, Bai Fu judged that Mr. Guo's mouth is a bit broken, he likes to be arty and pretend to be sophisticated, but he is not very courageous. Apart from the exclusive distribution rights, he should not be able to make other big troubles.

"Do you know what's going on?" Bai Fu asked.

Huang Qiuyang shook his head, they didn't rush to eat melons at the front line, they just watched the fun and then returned, he pondered for a moment and asked:
"Need to inquire?"

Bai Fu nodded.

"Yes, then I will trouble you. The more detailed the inquiry, the better."

Although Bai Fu didn't say anything, Huang Qiuyang and the others could tell from Bai Fu's expression that she was not just gossip, and they immediately paid attention to it, saying that they would ask someone to inquire when they go back.

Gao Yan's family has some background, and Xu Cheng's family even has people in the state capital, and the two of them also pat their chests and promise that they will do their best.

After the meal, Gao Yan and Xu Cheng left first, Huang Qiuyang stayed and continued to drink and talk with Luo Jin and Qin Shisan. Seeing Bai Fu entered the house with Luo Jin's support, Huang Qiuyang was puzzled again--
"Didn't it mean that Xiaobai doesn't like other people coming into his house? One girl in the morning and one girl in the evening, I think he's quite used to it."

Luo Jin's hand holding the wine glass paused, his expression confused, and he didn't quite understand Huang Qiuyang's words.

What's the matter, Brother Huang?

Didn't you say in the morning to help keep it secret for the time being?

"Ahhhhhhhh"

Accompanied by the sound of falling, the woman's pain suddenly came from inside the room.

That's a tact.

It hurts just by the sound.

But now that's not the point!

Because there was another voice in the room, whispering something, it couldn't be heard clearly, but it was obviously not the same person as before.

Huang Qiuyang and Qin Shisan subconsciously looked at each other, what is it?

Before the two could think about it, Luo Jin and Xiao Liang walked quickly to the screen wall almost at the same time, and asked inside:

"Xiaobai, are you okay?"

The two asked almost at the same time, with worried tones.

There was a moment of silence.

After a while, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice came out, "It's okay, I accidentally bumped into it."

Luo Jin heaved a sigh of relief, came back and sat down.

Huang Qiuyang felt that something was wrong, but couldn't tell what was wrong for a while, so he looked at Luo Jin thoughtfully.

"I heard the voice of a servant girl just now, why did Brother Luo ask Xiaobai?"

Qin Shisan asked puzzledly.

Huang Qiuyang's eyes lit up, and he nodded in agreement.

That's right, why did Brother Luo not hesitate to ask Xiaobai if he was okay?

Just now he suspected that it was because brother Luo cared too much about Xiaobai, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was not the case.

Luo Jin paused.

For a moment, I didn't know whether he should say this or not.

But thinking about it, Qin Shisan is the only one who doesn't know the truth. Luo Jin felt that it would be unkind to hide it from him. After pondering for a moment, he said:

"It doesn't matter if Brother Qin knows about it, Xiaobai plans to make it public."

public?

Open sweetheart?
Huang Qiuyang continued to look at Luo Jin.

Some people don't understand why the topic has brought up the matter of disclosing the identity of Xiaobai's sweetheart.

"I told you to stay calm."

Luo Jin carefully considered his words, and took a deep look at Qin Shisan. For a moment, he seemed to see himself in a daze yesterday, and he couldn't help but curl his lips.

He seemed to be the same way yesterday.

There is a faint evil taste in the chest.

Qin Shisan was inexplicably laughed, and his eyes signaled Luo Jin to speak quickly.

Luo Jin coughed twice.

"Yesterday, I was a little annoyed that I was slow to respond, but thinking that you and Xiaobai have known each other for a longer time, brother Qin, but you knew about it later than me, I finally feel a little more balanced in my heart."

Qin Shisan: "??????"

do not understand at all.

But according to Luo Jin, he should have known about this earlier?

His first thought was whether Taohuawu's secret had been leaked.

At first they agreed to keep it a secret, Luo Jin didn't know about it, but what does Taohuawu have to do with the scene just now?
Huang Qiuyang was also at a loss here.

I knew?
Xiaobai has been with his sweetheart for so long?
Before meeting Brother Qin?
That's why he didn't give his sister a chance.

What the three of them didn't know was that they were not on the same channel at all at the moment.

"Actually, it's not a big deal." Luo Jin said.

As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip, as if he had tasted it, before he opened his mouth slowly after a long while:

"Xiaobai is actually a girl, Jiao, mother."

For the last three words, Luo Jin deliberately slowed down his speech and emphasized his tone.

Spit out word by word.

It seemed that only in this way could he let the other party hear clearly, so that he would not be like him, making Xiao Si'er say it several times back and forth and still suspect that there was something wrong with his ears.

Qin Shisan Huang Qiuyang: "??????"

The courtyard fell into an eerie silence.

Huang Qiuyang and Qin Shisan seemed to stop blinking at the same time, and their minds were stunned for a moment.

Not a big deal.

It's just that she is a girl.

In fact, she is a girl.

Only.

After an unknown amount of time, the two slowly turned their heads at the same time, looked at each other, and confirmed from each other's eyes that they hadn't heard wrong.

After an unknown amount of time, Qin Shisan finally opened his mouth with a dull expression:

"Brother Luo, this kind of joke is not funny."

how is this possible? ! ! !
If Xiaobai is a woman, then so is he
Well, forget it.

He is not a woman, and Xiaobai cannot be a woman.

They lived in the same house! ! !
Shared toilets! ! !
Can he not know whether Xiao Bai is a woman? ! ! !
He is not blind!

Huang Qiuyang didn't speak, but the surprise on his face was much more than Qin Shisan's.

There is only one thought in my mind.

Brother Luo, is he crazy?
What is this kind of joke for?
Luo Jin thought that Huang Qiuyang already knew, and now his attention was on Qin Shisan. Seeing him being struck by lightning, he bent his lips and sighed:
"I only found out yesterday, and I didn't think it was funny yesterday."

But now it's funny to see you like this.

And said:

"Xiaobai didn't hide it on purpose, but just for convenience, Brother Qin, don't blame her."

"It's as if it's true." Qin Shisan subconsciously frowned and retorted.

Luo Jin smiled wryly, "Brother Qin, if you don't believe me, you can ask Xiaoliang and Xiaosibag, they know before me."

Xiao Liang went to fetch something for Bai Fu just now, when he came back, he heard Luo Jin mention his name, and came over to ask what was the matter.

Luo Jin asked directly: "Is Xiaobai a woman or a man?"

Xiao Liang knew what was going on as soon as he heard it, and looked at Qin Shisan, "I only found out after Tao Qin and his son left, and I didn't tell anyone later for the sake of convenience."

Qin Shisan's eyes widened in disbelief, "You mean Xiaobai is really a woman?"

Xiao Liang nodded without hesitation.

Qin Shisan: "."

In a short period of time, many pictures of getting along with Bai Fu flashed through his mind.

Sorry.

No trace of any woman was found.

Huang Qiuyang let out a slow ah, and then turned his gaze to Bai Fu's room.

"I see." He said.

Because she is a woman, she cannot accept his sister.

Because she is a woman, no one is allowed to enter her house.

Because she is a woman, she will take care of children.
What a woman.

Qin Shisan didn't know how he got back to his room.

Master Qin was reading a book in the room, when he saw his son walk in, he gave him a weird look.

"what happened to you?"

Qin Shisan didn't answer, went to the table and sat down, staring blankly for a while.

Seeing that his son was restless pouring tea so that the table was full of water, Master Qin finally couldn't help but asked:
"What's so out of control?"

Qin Shisan slowly turned his head, his eyes lit up as he thought of something.

"Daddy"

He said with a strange expression, "If someone told you that Xiaobai is actually a woman, would you find it funny?"

Ok?
What kind of weird question is this?
Master Qin frowned, "Have you been drinking?"

Speaking of which, Master Qin put down the book, got up and approached to smell it.

Weird.

There is no smell of alcohol.

Look, his dad reacted the same way.

Qin Shisan said: "So Daddy, you don't think this joke is funny, do you?"

Master Qin said lightly:

"That kid is teasing you again, you, why are you always following his way, that kid is just a bastard, he dares to say anything."

Qin Shisan stopped talking, and sat still for a while, then suddenly thought of something, got up and strode out.

Master Qin: "."

Qin Shisan stood in front of the screen wall of Bai Fu's house.

After hesitating for a moment, he called out, "Bai Fu, can I go in?"

Bai Fu, who was lying on the bed and enjoying a massage: "I can't."

Qin Shisan: "Because you are a woman?"

Bai Fu: "That's right, didn't Xiaosi Yunqi tell you guys yesterday?"

Yesterday Yunqi said that he had already told his family, and it is said that they were all frightened.

That's good, so she won't have to confess one by one.

Qin Shisan: "."

Qin Shisan went back to the house in a daze.

He reached out to get the teapot, only to find that the teapot was gone on the table, and his father was watching him while drinking tea at the desk.

Qin Shisan paused, and said, "Daddy, Xiaobai is really a woman."

Master Qin: "?????"

The next day, Bai Fu stood at the door with his eyes closed and stretched. After opening his eyes, he realized that there were many people standing in the yard.

Even Master Qin came.

She was dazed for a moment, and asked under the inexplicable eyes of everyone.

"Is today a holiday?"

And it's a day when both the college and the shop are closed for bathing?

The few people who knew the truth in advance winked at Bai Fu, Xiao Liang stepped forward and whispered something in his ear, and Bai Fu suddenly understood.

She said why everyone was so calm yesterday, making her think that everyone had seen through her and she was just covering it up very well.

Dare to have a time difference.

"that"

She touched her nose, a little embarrassed, "I really didn't mean to hide it from you."

Everyone: "."

This is not intentional?

What is the real intention?
Bai Fu showed a decent yet polite smile, "You may not believe me, but I chose men's clothing to show off at first because I don't know how to tie my hair."

Everyone: "."

You make it up, you make it up, you make it up.

Seeing everyone's unacceptable expressions, Bai Fu was at a loss, and spread his hands and said:

"If you can't accept this fact, then I will continue to pretend to be a man in the future?"

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched.

These are some crazy ideas.

Master Qin's expression was rather complicated.

But after a night of digestion last night, it's not that difficult to accept.

At this moment, although he still couldn't find the shadow of a woman on Bai Fu, he suddenly understood some of Bai Fu's words and deeds inexplicably, and the eyes he looked at Bai Fu were no longer so harsh--
Since she is a woman, she naturally cannot be restrained by a gentleman.

If Bai Fu knew that Mrs. Qin had already kicked her out of the ranks of gentlemen in his mind, he would definitely have another debate with him. Fortunately, she didn't know, and avoided the verbal battle early in the morning.

Coincidentally, Shen Sanjin also rushed over early in the morning.

He came to tell Bai Fu that the household registration was settled, so that she should not worry.

As soon as he entered the yard, he saw a crowd of people, and after listening to Bai Fu's explanation, he wiped off the cold sweat that didn't exist on his forehead.

Fortunately he was quick.

I don't know what kind of moth will come up later to let him clean up the mess.

"Miss"

After the crowd dispersed, Luo Jinshi smiled and said, "I do my hair well, so you don't have to pretend to be a man in the future."

Bai Fu smiled and nodded.

"Let's talk about it later when I make some women's clothes."

Yuwen smiled and came over to help Bai Fu.

"Actually, I guessed something when I massaged the young master last time."

Women's bones are still very different from men's.

Xiao Si grinned and followed, "Xiao Bai, you don't know, they caught me and Xiao Si Hao and questioned me early in the morning, and I was exhausted from explaining."

Bai Fu patted her furry head to show encouragement.

Xiaosi continued:
"Don't worry about women's clothes, Xiaobai. I asked Mama Gu to go to Xiulou to order them yesterday, and they will be delivered in a few days."

What Xiao Si didn't say was that she asked Mama Gu to make more clothes that were exactly the same for her and Bai Fu, so that she and Xiao Bai could wear the same clothes to go out in the future!
