Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 1387 Wangjing Town, Ancient House
Even though Gu Shangqing has some special feelings for Chu Kefan, he is still a standard sister-in-law.The love for Liu Ya is still in the first place at present.

Therefore, as soon as Liu Ya reminded that there was not enough time, Gu Shangqing immediately declined and declined, saying: "We do have important things to do, now we are going down the mountain, and we have to go to the capital overnight, so we really can't stay longer."

Chu Hefei wanted to build a good relationship with Liu Ya and Gu Shangqing, and seeing that they couldn't keep them together, he ordered someone to bring a small box to Liu Ya, and said, "This is what makes me an uncle. Heart, in fact, can be regarded as a generous gift that Heming Mountain can offer, Ya'er, please accept it."

Liu Ya took the box, opened it to have a look, and found a box full of ingots inside.They are all ingots of five taels, and this box contains at least forty ingots, which is 200 taels of silver.

Of course, it is impossible for a Heming Mountain to only have these 200 taels, but it is indeed generous to give it to Liu Ya for no reason.

But Liu Ya has never valued gold and silver.Along the way, so many places have been conquered, and many people came to the door with gifts, Liu Ya has never been tempted.

Therefore, Liu Ya closed the box, held it with both hands, and handed it to Chu Kefan, saying: "I accept this, but it's just a congratulatory gift for Kefan's marriage. No matter when she gets married, I will give the gift first." Prepare it, and then the wedding reception cannot be without me, right?"

In this way, Chu Kefan is the biggest beneficiary.A token of Heming Mountain was given to her, and now she has another 200 taels of silver.

Chu Hefei didn't feel displeased at all, after all, Liu Ya said that he took things, but in fact nothing was brought out of Heming Mountain.

In this way, the problem of Heming Mountain was resolved peacefully.

And Heming Mountain, as the nearest nail to the capital, was completely held in Liu Ya's hands.

When we got off Heming Mountain, it was getting late.There is still a hundred miles away from the capital. It stands to reason that as long as you hurry up, you can reach it before nightfall.

But the capital city is no different than other state capitals and city offices. The gates of the city will be closed at night, and the curfew is also very strict.

Therefore, Gu Shangqing and Liu Ya discussed whether they should rest on the spot and hurry on their way before dawn tomorrow?
It is better to walk overnight and rest at the nearest village outside the capital, so that you don't have to get up early tomorrow.

Liu Ya is someone who would rather be dark than get up early.If possible, she would like to sleep until she wakes up naturally.

But now, the more you get to the capital, you need to be very careful every step you take, and it may not be safe to walk at night.

Therefore, after discussing with each other, they chose a compromise method: while there was still some time before dark, they traveled as much as possible.Stay until after dark, and leave at dawn tomorrow. When you arrive in the capital, the city gate may have just opened.

After dark, the group of them came to a town called "Wangjing".This was also the largest town before entering Beijing.

Leaving Wangjing Town early tomorrow morning, and walking less than [-] miles, it is a process.When I got here, I really wish I could see the capital.

There is no official post house in Wangjing anymore, but Gu Shangqing said that there is a courtyard of the Gu family here, usually no one lives there, where can they go to settle down.

In fact, here, whether it is housing construction or street layout, it is already spacious and stylish.

If it is the day of the market, the shops and street stalls here are very lively, even surpassing the capital city.

After all, the capital's control is strict, and the streets seem a little deserted.It's relatively free here, so it's more prosperous.

The other courtyard of the Gu family is not located in the bustling area of ​​Wangjing Town, but behind a peach grove on the edge of the town.

It is winter now, and the peach forest has disappeared, only the brown branches remain.But if it comes to spring, when the peach blossoms are full of branches, it is a good place to enjoy the flowers.

When Gu Shangqing came here, he didn't even need to knock on the door, he just jumped into the wall and opened the door from the inside, allowing Liu Ya, Dongzi and Xiuning to come in.

Gu Shangqing said: "There is only a deaf-mute couple here to guard the door. They usually clean the house and the yard. At night, they go to bed early, and they can't hear you when you call the door. Sometimes I pass by here too late, and it's the same way. Climb over the wall, sleep all night and then leave, without disturbing them."

However, although a deaf-mute couple lived here, it was impossible for them to be unaware that the carriage and several horses were pulled in through the gate.

So when Liu Ya and the others entered, they saw the lights in a hut in the courtyard turned on, the window was opened a crack from the inside, and a middle-aged man poked his head out from inside.

Gu Shangqing walked over and knocked on the window lattice, asking him to open the window wider.He didn't say anything, just pointed to the yard, and made a sleeping gesture.

Then, the man closed the window, and there was no movement in the room, and then the lights were turned off.

When Gu Shangqing came back, he said: "It's okay, I told them not to worry about it, just sleep peacefully."

Liu Ya said: "That's it? They don't care about anything?"

Gu Shangqing smiled and said: "They have been working in the Gu family since they were young, and they can be regarded as watching me grow up. Why don't they believe what I say. Besides, deaf-mute people are always relatively simple. Knowing too much about the world, as long as the master tells you, just do it."

Liu Ya nodded, feeling that what Gu Shangqing said made sense.

First of all, the couple can't hear or speak, which greatly hinders their communication with the outside world.

What's more, they stay in such a place all the year round, maybe there are many people from the Gu family and there are many places to enjoy flowers, so there will be no one to disturb here all year round, or even for several years.Therefore, the couple spent most of the time in isolation, and it was inevitable that they were simple-minded.

This other courtyard of the Gu family is not small. There are two courtyards at the front and back. Although the houses are not very exquisite, they are very spacious.

Moreover, each room is decorated in a simple and comfortable manner, and the cleaning is also very clean.It's much more comfortable to walk into any one and stay in it than an inn.

Dongzi and Xiuning live in the front yard, not far from the house of the deaf-mute couple, which is considered a lower world.

Liu Ya and Gu Shangqing lived in the backyard, in the East Wing and West Wing.There is a flowerbed in the middle, but all the flowers in the flowerbed have been pulled out now, leaving only the unturned land and a thin layer of snow on the ground.

Qiuying and several of her subordinates also live in the backyard, but these people have been taking turns guarding and guarding.So when they came to the backyard, there was no need for Liu Ya or Qiu Ying to arrange, and they dispersed.
