The wooden barrel groaned lightly, the peonies embroidered on the tulle screen stroked, and the overlapping figures behind splashed water, Bai Ruxiang pushed and pulled the thin back with the towel in both hands, rubbing down the fine and dense white mud.

Qianqianyu poured water on it with her fingers, rinsed it away, leaned over and pressed it against the man's back, and picked up the petals that were swaying in the water with her fingertips.

".In the past, I always heard people talking about Chang'an, and I was so envious. I never imagined that I would see this bustling area one day. The few streets I passed today alone have more people than Feihu County. Uncle, Do you think there will be a place for us to stay in such a big city?"

"You said the same thing as my father. Since you are here, you can live a good life." Geng Qing lay beside the bucket with a calm expression, staring straight at the screen, thinking about the future arrangements.

"In the future, the name Golden Knife Gang will no longer be used. At the feet of the emperor, it is easy to be caught by people who engage in these beatings and killings, and there is no place to die."

'Wow' The sound of the water was rippling, the woman squeezed aside, stretched out her hand to stroke a strand of his hair and gently blew it: "Then uncle, what do you think it should be called?"

"I haven't thought about it, so I won't call it for now. When you come here, you have to find something for them to do, and the money you bring can't just sit on the mountain. Tomorrow, you call Dou Wei, and then bring some people to wander around the city and have a look. If there is any business you like, of course the premise is that you can make money."

In the sound of water, Geng Qing got up from the bucket with water stains all over her body, dried her body, changed her clothes, put her hair up in a bun, and while looking back at Bai Yunxiang who was still soaking in the bucket, straightened her collar and tied it. Belt jade pendant.

"It's not suitable for you and me to appear in front of everyone. I'll go out first, and take a look around before the curfew. Tomorrow morning, I will find time to settle the affairs of the house. A group of thirty or so of us will count the fodder for the horses. The cost is not small."

The woman rested her arms on the side of the bucket, her smooth back and half of her buttocks were exposed in the curling heat. The journey was full of car rides and shipwrecks, which made her feel uncomfortable. Now she finally felt comfortable, and she blinked charmingly. .

"Uncle will go on his own, I will save my life, soak for a while, then change into clothes and go back to the room."

"Ah."

Geng Qing nodded, seeing her lazy and coquettish appearance, she was really a goblin, opened the door and went out, stood in the corridor on the second floor and looked down, all the members of the Golden Knife Gang returned one by one, unloaded the carriage in the backyard, After the 'goods' moved into the room, they all sat at a few tables in the lobby on the first floor to eat and drink, shouting and punching, making the guests at other tables in the inn frown, and Dou Wei and others can be seen dressed in green forests, carrying with them Carrying the sword, he pretended not to hear it, and continued talking to his friends.

After greeting a few helpers, Geng Qing walked to the front aisle, gently opened the door to see if his parents were resting, and in the gap, a wax table illuminated by a lampshade stood on a round table, and a slanting figure held The wooden basin walked through the crack of the door and put it in front of the bed.

"Uncle Geng, wash your feet."

Qiao Niang rolled her cuffs, and gently took off the shoes of the old man in the wheelchair. There was a sour smell, and the little girl didn't seem to smell it. Qing Na learned how to pinch the acupoints, the strength is sometimes strong and sometimes soft, and he asked the water temperature from time to time, which made old man Geng a little embarrassed.

By candlelight at the bedside, Wang Jinqiu bit off the needle and thread, looked at Qiao Niang, and remembered her life experience, couldn't help but put down the needle and thread, went to pull her up and hugged her in his arms.

Such a good daughter-in-law, why can't that silly boy see her eyes, she is flirting with that widow, she looks so charming, no wonder the man died, just don't let his son be harmed.

On the boat to Chang'an, I had a nightmare, dreaming that Geng Qing died on that woman's bed, turned into a lonely ghost, and was still hooking up with that widow.

I was so angry that I saw my son coming to say hello for a day or two, and I greeted him with blank eyes.

As for whether there is an affair, Wang Jinqiu still believes in his son, after all, he is his righteous brother's wife, how could he do such a thing.

"Qiao Niang, you have been taking care of my old couple all the way these days. If you are tired, don't be too busy. You should also go back to your room to rest early. You may still be busy tomorrow. Don't get tired. I will get the water later. fall."

The little girl was only fourteen years old, naturally she didn't think as much as the woman did, she nodded obediently, opened the door and retreated, then went back to the next room.

Geng Qing saw clearly from the side of the stairs. Although she was taking in her, she was reluctant at first, fearing that she would not get along well with her parents. Unexpectedly, the girl is diligent, she is a good girl who knows how to feel warm and cold, and understands caring for others. The meat was on, her appearance became beautiful, and she took good care of the two old people, so she dispelled the idea of ​​sending Qiao Niang back to her original place.

"Zhuzi, have you seen enough? If you think about it, just marry and come in. Look at me." Dachun was caught by Geng Qing just after entering Widow Zhang's door. He stood under the stairs and watched for a long time, thinking that Geng Qing After falling in love with Qiao Niang, she slapped her chest loudly, "I'll take my fancy, it'll save you trouble, but if you're sorry, I'll let Aunt Zhang talk about it."

"gone!"

Geng Qing turned around, slapped him on the shoulder and went downstairs. In the hall, Zhao Hongjun, who was at the same table with Dou Wei, quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth and followed.

"I want to borrow some money from you."

"Xianzun, how can you say this with confidence." Dachun hurriedly covered his pockets.

"Are you going to visit brothels? Aren't you rich yourself? In Feihu County, I knew how much money you charged."

The fat county magistrate spread his hands, patted his sleeves vigorously, looked back at the tables around him, pulled Geng Tsing's clothes to the corner, and lowered his voice.

"Here in Chang'an, there are still some old friends in this county. They were the leaders in buying officials back then. You have to mix with them again. Buying people to drink, right? My little money is not enough. I have to pay for it in less than a few meals. Spend clean."

"Oh? Who are these people? Why don't you take me with you at that time, and why don't you hang out with the powerful children of Chang'an when you get here?"

Geng Qing is not stupid, he used money for nothing to make others better. At that time, Zhao Hongjun took the relationship and kicked him away. Road, if the consultant Fu can't do it, then go the way of the children of foreign ministers, but it may take a little longer.

Seeing that the young man couldn't speak, the Fat County Magistrate had no choice but to nod in agreement. When the time came, he would gather people together and send someone to call him. After speaking, he returned to the dinner table and continued to eat and drink.

Geng Qing also bowed his hands to the helpers who greeted around him, took Da Chun to the backyard, and led a carriage out.

The streets of Chang'an under the night are also quite lively, but just before the curfew, there are much fewer pedestrians than when the night just fell. According to the previous broker, after passing the Bell and Drum Tower, you will soon see the majestic imperial city On the palace wall, there are many torches patrolling behind the walls from the hands of soldiers.

Geng Qing didn't dare to get close for more than a dozen feet away, for fear of being shot by an arrow as a spy. He lifted the curtain and watched the continuous city wall pass by. The small door was still open, and she was chased away by the Shence Army as soon as he passed. It was useless to take out the greeting card and mention the consultant's blessing, and asked him to come back during the day.

Ugh.
'The rules are strict. '

In this era, it was the first time that the door was closed. Geng Qing didn't dare to use money at will, bowed his hands politely, left in a carriage, and returned to Fuyun Tower before the curfew was struck in the Drum Tower. The gang, the rest of them had already gone to bed, Geng Qing dragged his exhaustion into the room, didn't even bother to take off his clothes and shoes, fell asleep on the bed.

Waking up early the next morning, Qiao Niang brought breakfast into the room, looked at the husband's wrinkled robe, and went forward to straighten it for him with distressed face, "Sir, didn't you take it off last night? This place is no better than Weizhou, There are rivers everywhere, and the water vapor is heavy, and when you wake up in the morning, you can feel chilly, sir, beware of the wind chill."

Geng Qing sat at the table gulping gruel and eating meatloaf, still patted on the shoulders, behind the back with his small hands, and he was somewhat used to Qiao Niang's service.

Nodding with a smile: "Be careful next time, you go to eat too, I have something to go out later. I feel bored, so I push my father around."

"Yeah." Qiao Niang didn't go out, she stood beside her pretty, watching Geng Qing's delicious food, with a faint smile on her little face.

"Okay, I'm full."

Not long after, Geng Qing put down the bowls and chopsticks, took the handkerchief and wiped his mouth, went outside to find the shopkeeper and asked the dental dealer, then asked Dachun to drive there according to the address, and he will live here often, so naturally he bought a house and settled down.

As for the well-informed tooth shop, there will be no shortage of resources in this area. Not long after, a broker sat next to Dachun, pointed at the intersection and took Geng Qing in the car to a nearby square street.

"Young master, it's not a small cover-up that you don't want to sell you. Where is Chang'an, a house is not cheap, even in Chang'an, it is hard to buy. There is no market for the price, let alone a big house with three entrances and three exits. The only thing is to take the guest officer to see the small courtyard building on the street, which also costs tens of thousands of dollars."

"If you are not from Chang'an, you can't buy a big house?"

"It's not, it's just not for sale. It has to be related, and there are no more in the city, so they have to be in the suburbs."

After listening to the Chang'an prices introduced by the broker, Geng Qing was a little stunned.

'I thought I could fulfill my wish of buying a house in the capital of later generations, but it is also ridiculously expensive here. '

After careful calculation, half of the money he brought from Feihu County had to go to buy a small courtyard building facing the street.

　It may be gone tonight, and the back of my head started to hurt again. I will go to the hospital for a review tomorrow.
