Wanfu, the Reborn Empress

Chapter 475 The Weird Old Man
Hearing Luo Mei's praise, Gu Yanxi smiled and stretched out his hand to poke the little girl's head, saying: "Why do you still say these things now, what is the number one beauty, what is the outstanding appearance, these are not things I really care about."

Xiaokui took Gu Yanxi's words and said: "The girl naturally doesn't need to care about these, because the girl already has these, and it's still the best one."

After finishing speaking, Xiaokui supported Gu Yanxi's hand, looked around the bustling courtyard and alley, and said curiously: "I've never seen this dumb master before, but what the girl said is that this dumb master seems to be very powerful, Girl, are you sure he really lives here? Let's go find it quickly, this servant really wants to see this legendary blacksmith with his own eyes."

Seeing Xiaokui's excited look, Gu Yanxi and Luo Mei looked at each other and smiled in unison.

Luo Mei tidied up Gu Yanxi swiftly, and waited on her other side, looking at the bustling courtyard and alley, if she hadn't been sure that this was still the capital, she might have really thought they were somewhere else at the moment: "Girl, I really didn't expect there to be such a place in the capital. Look at the surrounding houses, although they are not exquisite or gorgeous, they are neat and simple. Even the moss on the walls seems to have a unique flavor here, which makes people feel There is a kind of want to stay here to enjoy the lively and unique scenery here.”

After listening to Luo Mei's words, Gu Yanxi also looked around.

Because most of the people living in Tianjing Alley are ordinary people, and most of them are foreigners who rely on handicrafts and juggling to survive, so the people living here are full of simplicity and hard work; Go, look at the sheep farm alleys paved with blue stone steps, look at the neatly built houses, fill your ears with bustling voices, smell the smoke and smoke in the air, Gu Yanxi finally understood why this dumb master chose to live in seclusion here.

Because living in this place can really give the greatest comfort and comfort to the soul; even she can't help but want to linger here for a few days, to appreciate the unique human feelings here.

Gu Yanxi and his party came in a carriage. Although they had chosen the most low-key carriage in the mansion, the ebony carriage pulled by three horses was parked at the most eye-catching alley, making it difficult for people to ignore it; What's more, although the three masters and servants of Gu Yanxi who came down from the carriage were dressed in a low-key manner, the silk and brocade shirts they wore still formed the biggest difference from the most ordinary people here; although Gu Yanxi's appearance was covered by snow brocade gauze She stayed, but Luomei and Xiaokui, who were by her side, were also very good-looking.After all, she can be regarded as a big maid who is pampered in the mansion. Although she is not as rich and beautiful as Gu Yanxi, but compared with these poor people who are begging for life every day, she is like Xiaojiabiyu raised by a certain house, very attractive heartbeat.

Therefore, when these three people appeared in the courtyard and alley, they still attracted the attention of many people.

Luo Mei has a cautious personality, knowing that dragons and snakes are mixed here, so she wanted to finish the things the girl wanted to do as soon as possible and go back quickly, so she urged the girl who was still looking around, saying: "Girl, this courtyard alley Although it is not big, it is not small. Although it is not a needle in a haystack to find someone here, I am afraid that it will take a lot of effort to find them. What is the girl's clever plan? Master find out?"

Gu Yanxi guessed what Luo Mei was thinking but didn't let Xiaokui support him and walked slowly towards the depths of the alley, saying: "Since I'm sure that this dumb master lives in seclusion here, I naturally have a way to find him. "

Speaking of this, Gu Yanxi saw a kind-hearted old man sitting at the gate of his small courtyard not far away, weaving baskets, so he asked for a money bag from Luo Mei, and walked straight towards the old man.

Seeing Gu Yanxi's action, Luomei and Xiaokui looked at each other, not knowing what the girl was going to do, but after following the girl for so long, they also knew that the girl was not a person who would do futile work, since the girl turned towards the old man Walking over, it proves that something must happen.

Seeing Gu Yanxi coming in front of the old man, watching the thin and soft bamboo strips being gradually woven into decent-looking small bamboo baskets and small dustpans in the old but nimble hands of the old man, a smile appeared on his face, and he took the initiative to ask the old man : "Old man, I'm here to find relatives, and I want to ask you something, can I ask the old man for your convenience?"

Suddenly hearing a crisp and soft voice coming from in front of him, the old man who was concentrating on weaving baskets immediately raised his head; when he saw clearly that the person who asked him was a half-grown girl, the old man's voice A meaningful smile appeared on his face: "Little girl, don't bully me, an old man who is too old to do anything. With your clothes and two pretty maids serving you, you must have a certain status." Ordinary; how can a person like you have poor relatives living in courtyards and alleys?"

"..." Gu Yanxi was stunned. He didn't expect this seemingly ordinary old man to have such a vision. He really deserves to be a Jianghu person who relies on craftsmanship to survive. .

Therefore, Gu Yanxi wiped a piece of silver from the purse in his hand and handed it to the old man, and continued to whisper softly: "Old man, how about we make it easier for each other? As long as you can help me, I will reward you with this piece of silver." Here you go."

As he spoke, Gu Yanxi threw the silver ingot in his hand into the small bamboo basket that the old man was weaving. Hearing the sound of the silver ingot smashing into the small bamboo basket, Gu Yanxi's face revealed a certain expression; They are all raised in boudoirs, but after all, they are people who have lived two lifetimes, and they still have simple life experience. She does not believe that these craftsmen who need to go out to make a living every day will be able to do it when facing money. until motionless.

But obviously, Gu Yanxi really encountered a freak this time.

I saw the old man sitting at the entrance of the courtyard weaving baskets looking at the silver ingots in the bamboo baskets in his hand, he was not in a hurry to pick them up, but raised his head to look at Gu Yanxi again: "Little girl, this is the first time you have come to the courtyard Alley?"

Gu Yanxi met the old man's cloudy eyes, although he didn't quite understand why he asked such a question, but he nodded in cooperation.

The old man said again: "That's it! Since it's the first time I've come here, I don't know that although our alley is rough and remote, it's not as good as the mansions where the nobles live in Beijing, but the rules that people who live here have to abide by. It is no less than that of the Shenzhai compound!"
