Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 270
The shop waiter was taken aback, looked at the man carefully, and said with a smile, "The guest officer is an outsider. If he is from Stone Fort, he must know him."

Hearing that he returned like this, Mu Wu didn't answer who the person was, so he knew that he wanted a reward, so he reached into his pocket and took out a dozen or so coins and threw it to him, "Hurry up and tell me."

The waiter in the shop smiled dryly and said, "Thank you for your reward. That man is Zhao Wu, a member of our Stone Fortress, also known as Bao Inquiry. He usually inquires about things for people or sends a letter in a way. It looks a little bit bad, but the character is still good, and I have never heard of it when doing things for others."

Mu Wu nodded and said with a smile, "Brother, bring me a jug of good wine, call him for me, and say I'll treat him to a drink."

"Hey, okay. Guest officer, wait a moment." Xiaoer happily sold another jug ​​of good wine, and after enjoying the drink, he went out to call Zhao Wu.

Zhao Wu has been squatting on the side of the road for most of the day, already hungry and worried about where to get today's food. Hearing that someone invited him to drink, of course he followed him immediately. He also often deals with strangers, so Without stage fright, he cupped his hands at Mu Wugong and said, "Brother, you must have something to do when you come to me, but I'm really hungry, how about letting me eat a piece of cake?"

Mu Wu laughed, a little pleased at his straightforwardness, which really didn't match his appearance, so he waved his hand without hesitation, "You are welcome, brother, just eat as much as you want, I am not in a hurry."

Zhao Wu thanked again, then sat down, shook his cheeks and ate it, Mu Wu served Xiaoer two meat dishes and a plate of cakes, and then sat opposite him, drinking tea slowly, waiting for him to finish eating.

After a long while, Zhao Wucai burped, and cupped his hands gratefully at Mu Wugong, "Brother, thank you for your hospitality. I'm not afraid of your jokes. I haven't had enough food for two or three days. Today can be regarded as making up for it." Yes. Brother, if there is anything I can do to help, just ask.”

Mu Wu raised his hand and poured him a cup of tea, and asked, "Brother Zhao, we are still destined, and I am also a good five at home. However, my surname is... Wang. Ordinarily, brothers can be regarded as good friends in this city." If you are familiar with me, the business should be good, how could I fall into... er, such a situation."

Zhao Wu blushed, and said with a slight embarrassment, "Brother, I don't know. Although there are not many foreigners in this city, they all know that I am familiar with Zhao Wu's family, so I can barely make money. Living. However, I played two hands of Pai Gow with someone a few days ago, and I confiscated it for a while. Hehe."

Mu Wu followed suit with a laugh, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, hiding the disgust in his eyes, because of Li Sheng's matter, his wife strictly ordered everyone in the family not to participate in gambling, and if they found out, they would sell the house immediately.In fact, if Madam does not give orders, no one knows how to gamble. During the day, they have work to do, and at night they spend their time in the east chamber practicing calligraphy and counting. They study a lot. They all hope that one day they will be like Mu San and others, acting for Madam. Take care of a shop and be a good shopkeeper.As for money, it is even more important to save money, so that when you marry a daughter-in-law in the future, you will buy a lot of things.Whoever is willing to take it out and lose to others.

Although Zhao Wu's character is good, as long as he gets involved in gambling, it's over. He should be careful when he speaks later, so as not to be seen by him and ruin things.

"Brother Zhao, I came here to ask you something, don't worry, money is easy to talk about."

Zhao Wu's eyes lit up, and he said quickly, "Brother Wang, please tell me, this stone castle, I dare not say anything else, I am very familiar with contacts."

Mu Wu pondered for a while, "To tell you the truth, Brother Zhao, my master passed away a few days ago. Before I closed my eyes, I remembered that I had received help from a friend before, and I had no chance to repay it. So I left my last words, asking our young master to help He found this family to see if there was anything he could repay. And this family is in your stone castle, and it is said that the surname is Gu, and it seems that there are many children in the family."

"Gu? The surname is Gu in this city, and there are many children. It's the old man Gu's family in West Street. His family has five sons and one daughter. It's considered a big family here. Brother Wang, is it his family that you're looking for?" Wu is worthy of inquiring, and filtered out the people with the surname Gu in the city in his mind, and immediately came up with the most similar answer.

Mu Wu frowned slightly distressed, and said, "When our master was dying, he didn't talk too carefully, so I can't say for a moment, and it's not good to rush to the door. Why don't you tell me about the Gu family?" I’ll hear if there’s something that fits the situation.”

"Okay, I'm not only familiar with the Gu family, but also many people in this city. Their old man is the captain of the frontier camp near us, and he specializes in horses. He is also a very generous and righteous person. The two sons are also very brave. Although sometimes they fight or something, but because our place is built on the basis of the border guards, the people here are martial, and it is not a bad thing to like to fight with hands. However, their family is famous because of The daughter of their family, Gu Liuniang. This Gu Liuniang lost her mother since she was a child, and she is very loved by her father and brother, so her temper is not very good, she is very domineering and aggressive, and the neighbors who live on the same street as her family are all scolded by her. Yes. Although we don't place too much emphasis on male and female sex here, whoever wants to marry a daughter-in-law doesn't want to marry a virtuous and gentle woman, so Gu Liuniang has passed her [-]s and hasn't married yet. Mr. Gu has no choice but to Among the soldiers under his command, he picked a cowardly son-in-law who is extremely teacher, and he will still live in his mother's house after marriage. That man is really a softie. According to their neighbors, Gu Liuniang is given three meals a day. Scolding him, he didn't dare to speak back, and once he was talking to someone on the street, when Gu Liuniang yelled, he was so frightened that his legs went limp and he knelt on the ground. Don't mention how many people died laughing."

Mu Wu smiled cooperatingly, and then led him to continue without any trace, "This man is too weak, but as a couple, if one party tolerates a little more, life will be smoother."

Sure enough, Zhao Wu curled his lips, turned his head and looked around, no one paid attention to them, and whispered in a very mysterious voice, "Brother, you don't know, this Gu Liuniang followed her husband back to her in-law's house the year before last, but within a day It is said that she was sent to prison for being unfilial. Mr. Gu spent a lot of money to get her out. The daughters-in-law of the Gu family were at odds with her, but this time because of her He spent all his little money, and hated her even more. I heard that their family beat a small one every day, and a big one every three days. Later, Mr. Gu couldn't stand the noise and advocated dividing the family. He took Gu Liuniang to live alone with the money and food every month. However, within a few months, Gu Liuniang did not know where he learned the aura of wealth and nobility, and he had to eat, drink and dress well. Old Master Gu was also angry, so he simply moved back to the She went to live with her son. Gu Liuniang had no money, so she had to go around sewing clothes for others. However, she had offended too many people in the past. Not many people were willing to give her work, so she reluctantly refused to die. If any girl in our family is disobedient, the old man will teach her a lesson, if you don't learn well, you will be like Gu Liuniang."

Mu Wu waved his hand and asked Xiao Er to serve a pot of wine, and then persuaded Zhao Wu to drink a few glasses. Seeing that his eyes were a little erratic, he knew that he was almost half drunk, so he asked again, "Then the sons of the Gu family are not bad, can they Honoring your father, and willing to give money to save your sister, is a kind person."

"Haha, that's hard to say. Gu Da, Gu Er, Gu San, and Gu Si are all pretty good. But Gu Wu is a stunned young man. I don't know how to get along with the general manager in the frontier camp a few days ago. My brother-in-law got into the fight. He broke his arm from the beating, and Mr. Gu sacrificed his face to make amends, and the brothers went out and borrowed 200 taels of silver to send it over, so the matter was settled."

Mu Ai's heart moved, it was just a coincidence that a pillow fell from the sky when she was dozing off.It's good that the family lacks money, so that they have high hopes for Huzi's family property.

Mu Wu had the bottom line in his mind, and persuaded Zhao Wu to drink several times. After inquiring about Gu Wu's situation, he pretended to be regretful and said, "Our master said that his best friend's family is all scholars, so, This Mr. Gu's family is probably not the person I'm looking for. However, brother has been talking for so long, and it sounds interesting to me, and I can't let brother work in vain. This is a tael of silver, brother, take it and save it to buy wine later .”

Zhao Wu was a little dizzy from drinking. He had heard that Mr. Gu's family was not the one Mu Wu was looking for. He was still very disappointed, thinking that he had no money to take today. Unexpectedly, this customer was so generous today that he still paid for it. Silver, more than double the usual amount.At that moment, he put away the silver and bowed again and again to express his thanks. At the end, he staggered out the door, wondering if he went to find someone to try his luck again.

Mu Wu went upstairs and changed into another set of clothes, dressed like an ordinary merchant, then went out to West Street, spent a penny on the way to ask a child, followed his guidance, and found the door of Gu Wu's house outside.The small courtyard with three main rooms and side rooms looks very narrow.

Mu Wu stood not far away and thought for a while, then knocked on the door of the courtyard next door that was half open. In the courtyard, an old woman in her fifties was sitting on a wooden bench mending her clothes. When she heard the door knock, He got up and asked, "Who is it?"

Mu Wu bowed his hands to salute, and said with a smile, "Auntie, I'm a passerby. The weather is hot, and I'm really thirsty. I can't wait to find a teahouse. Can I have a bowl of water, Auntie?"

When the old woman saw that she was a handsome young man, about the same age as her son who went out to work, she softened her heart and said with a smile, "Come in and do it first, I'll bring you water."

Mu Wu thanked him, waited for the old lady to bring water, drank two bowls vigorously, and then said in a slightly embarrassed way, "My aunt laughed, I'm really thirsty."

The old woman waved her hand and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay, you young people drink water like this, my son once drank five bowls of water in one breath. Come on, sit down for a while Come on, hurry with cold water in your stomach, be careful if you get a stomachache."
