The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 838
They have already reported their family, and this young servant shut the imperial envoy appointed by the court without even saying a word. Could it be that Mrs. Yi wanted the opposite?

Ming Mo felt aggrieved, but Gu Chengyu looked calm.

"Wait a little longer, it's coming soon."

Now that he accepted the post, it means that Yi Fu did not dare to go too far.

He is an imperial envoy appointed by the emperor, and he has an imperial gold medal in his hand.As soon as the gold medal comes out, who would dare not give face like an emperor in person?

Unless you want to rebel, just wait for the family to be ransacked and exterminated!The majesty of the emperor is inviolable.

Sure enough, just a few breaths later, the door was opened.

A large group of people came out, and an old man about fifty years old led them to the carriage.

He didn't wait for Ming Mo to ask questions, and immediately led everyone to kneel on the ground.

He shouted: "The head of the Yi clan, Yi Lanshan, led the members of the Yi clan to meet the imperial envoy!"

Gu Chengyu raised his eyebrows, but there was a coldness in his eyes.

This patriarch of the Yi clan is a shrewd person, look at this style, if you don't know which royal family is here in person!
Gu Chengyu raised the curtain and got out of the carriage.

He strode forward to support Yi Lanshan, "What is Patriarch Yi doing? Everyone please get up!"

"My lord, just now the concierge was ignorant and neglected my lord, please forgive me!"

Yi Lanshan raised her head and glanced at Gu Chengyu with anxiety on her face.

"It doesn't matter, this is my fault. I heard that the Yi Mansion has recently closed its doors to thank guests, and this official has the liberty to come to disturb you. It is really inappropriate. The chief of the Lao Yi clan greeted him personally, and this official feels very sorry."

Gu Chengyu smiled and helped Patriarch Yi up, and the Yi clan members behind all stood up and stood still.

"What did your lord say? When your lord comes to Hejian Mansion, Yi Mansion should sweep the couch to welcome you. It's a pity that a few clansmen in the mansion have caught wind and cold recently, which may infect others, so they closed their doors to thank guests."

Yi Lanshan had already thought up her speech, otherwise it would be impossible to thank guests behind closed doors in broad daylight.

Although everyone knows the reason, it must be taken into account in the big picture!

It's just that Yi Lanshan was very surprised by Gu Chengyu's arrival.

This Mr. Gu came to Hejian Mansion for a long time without any movement, he thought that the other party was helpless about this matter, who would have thought that the other party would take the initiative to attack.

He thought of the news he inquired yesterday, saying that the Yan family had invited Gu Chengyu to visit the lake, and he couldn't help but secretly scolded the elders of the Yan family for being treacherous and cunning.

It must be the old man who asked someone to say something in front of Mr. Gu, otherwise why did Mr. Gu suddenly come to Yi's door?
"Oh? That's it!" Gu Chengyu smiled, noncommittal.

"Look at this old man's memory, my lord, please come in quickly, so that this old man can do his best as a landlord!"

Yi Lanshan made a gesture of invitation respectfully, and then all the clansmen stepped aside, waiting for Gu Chengyu to enter.

"Haha! Since Patriarch Yi has kindly invited you, I'd rather be respectful than obedient!"

Gu Chengyu winked at Ming Mo, Ming Mo stepped forward and pulled Lu Chen, and the two followed behind.

Lu Chen secretly rolled his eyes, sometimes he felt that Gu Chengyu's face was much thicker than his.

Looking at the brown round-neck robe on his body, Lu Chen couldn't help feeling depressed.

In the end, he was still pretending to be a servant, and the dignified son of Zhan Yuanhou's mansion became Gu Chengyu's personal servant.

After entering the Yi mansion, Gu Chengyu followed the Yi patriarch to the outer courtyard of the long house.

"I'm going to pay a visit to the old lady in the mansion first!"

For the first visit, Gu Chengyu also prepared a small gift, and he naturally wanted to pay a visit to the elders of Yifu.

"Your Majesty Gu, you're being polite. The old lady took the family members to Handan Temple to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha yesterday. I'm afraid it will take two days to return."

The old lady is naturally Patriarch Yi's mother, but Gu Chengyu doesn't know if she went to burn incense and worship Buddha.

He hadn't heard any rumors before, and he still hasn't figured out the purpose of Patriarch Yi.

Could it be that all the female relatives were sent away?Could it be that he, Yi, intends to compete with those people?It seems that Yi's picture is not small!

"Oh? That's really unfortunate. Then when the old lady returns to the mansion, I will come to visit you again!"

Yi Lanshan who was walking aside slightly frowned when he heard this, but he returned to normal after only a moment.

Just as Gu Chengyu thought, Yi Mansion looks big from the outside, but in fact, the inside is divided into small courtyards.

As soon as he entered the Yi Mansion, Gu Chengyu saw the difficulties of the Yi Mansion from the layout of the outer courtyard.

Yi Mansion has a large population, with a total of five people living together.None of these five houses have produced five clothes, and they already have a fourth generation of descendants, but they are still crowded together.

It is conceivable that Yi's mansion is in such a tight situation that even the younger generation can't afford the money to go out and reopen the mansion.

Several people sat down in the study according to priority, and a girl came in and offered tea.

Just after exchanging a few pleasantries, Gu Chengyu asked about the treasure map.

"Patriarch Yi, let's open the skylight and speak honestly. I'm here today because of the treasure map."

Gu Chengyu was impatient and pretended to be a snake, so he decided to get straight to the point.

Lu Chen, who was standing behind, looked at Gu Chengyu in surprise. Gu Chengyu actually revealed his purpose as soon as he came up. How could the Yi patriarch admit it?

"Hey! Since my lord is outspoken, I naturally dare not hide anything from my lord. You don't know, when I first learned about this treasure map, this old man was also very excited, and even had the idea of ​​monopolizing it. I don't want to hide it from my lord. , You just entered the mansion and saw what the Yi mansion is like now."

Yi Lanshan spoke bitterly, her tone even more bleak.

"In the past, our Yi family was a famous family, and our ancestors naturally left a lot of foundations. But in the past few decades, no one in the clan has been an official, and the management is not good. It's just a title!"

Yi Lanshan spoke so sincerely that Gu Chengyu nodded repeatedly.

Regardless of Yi Lanshan's purpose in saying these words, what he said right now is the truth.

Seeing Gu Chengyu nodding in agreement, Yi Lanshan felt a little settled.

"When we first got the news of the treasure map, our family was overjoyed. We thought that if we could get the treasure map, it would definitely improve the current situation of the Yi family and make life easier for the children of the family. It's a pity."

What I said earlier was impeccable, but then there was another turning point.

Gu Chengyu knew that it was impossible for the Yi family to hand over the treasure map so easily, so he was not surprised.

"Oh? What a pity? Patriarch Yi might as well speak up if he has something to say."

Gu Chengyu put down the tea bowl and looked at the Yi clan leader who was complaining to him.

"It's a pity that our Yi family has limited ability, and we didn't keep the treasure map. This treasure map has already been robbed by others. So when you come to Hejian Mansion, our Yi family is also embarrassed to appear in front of you, and there is no treasure map to offer. , Yi is truly ashamed."

Yi Lanshan stole Gu Chengyu's reaction, seeing Gu Chengyu's shock, followed by suspicion in his eyes, she couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

"What's going on? Please Patriarch Yi tell us in detail."
