The biography of Gu Qi, a poor girl

In addition, there are two open spaces on each side, about three feet in length and width. At a rough glance, it is fairly clean, and it can be seen that it is indeed a success that someone comes to take care of it from time to time. The middle-aged man It's not a lie.

"Well, this house is not bad. My wife and brother used to do small business in the county town, and they have some family property. For this reason, the yard has been tidied up. You see, the ground is paved with rough stone slabs. Let’s go, without bringing any mud. Also, the front yard is spacious at both ends, how many things can be put there. Didn’t you bring carriages and horses, just stop here, and it’s more comfortable than going to an inn.” The man in the middle was a little proud He introduced, but after he finished speaking, he saw that Gu Qi only had a slight smile on his face all the time, and he had no intention of talking with him at all, and he couldn't tell whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied for a moment.

The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly, and insisted on continuing to walk while introducing: "There are two houses on each side of the front yard, the left one is the kitchen and storage, and the right one is the ear room and the woodshed. You first park the carriage in the The front yard, let's go to the inner yard to take a look."

Gu Qi nodded, Shun Zi understood and parked the carriage together with Jiang Ping, and greeted the carriage again, and soon seven or eight tall and strong men jumped out of the carriage, the middle-aged man's expression froze. "You... you!" He originally thought that the people in the carriage should be the young man's family members, even if they weren't necessarily like flowers, they were at most old mothers and maids.Who would have thought that when they jumped down, they would be full of burly young men with murderous looks. This posture, could it be that bandits have entered the city?

Shunzi was good at observing words and expressions, and from the expression of the middle-aged man in the room, he knew that he was thinking wildly, and explained with a smile: "These are the guards of my young master. My young master is young, and it is the first time he has appeared Far away, the master was worried and asked to bring more. There was a sudden heavy rain ahead, and the coir raincoats I brought were not enough, so I hid in the car to avoid it."

"It should be. It should be." The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words. It is true that such a fair and young young man is traveling alone, and there are some worries at home.

The inner courtyard is more spacious than Gu Qi expected, with a total of five rooms, the front is the main room with the living room, and another side room.There are two wing rooms on the left and right sides.Several rooms are not small.The top is used by ordinary people.

This house is much better than what Gu Qi expected, and the materials used in every building are solid, even if it has been vacant for a year, there is no need for any additional repairs.In addition, the furniture in each house is almost brand new, except for the soft bedding, everything else is ready-made.

The middle-aged man pointed to the furniture in the main room and said: "Actually, this house was just completed three years ago. My wife and brother's family also spent a lot of thought on building this house, and found the best one that Lushan County said. Craftsmen, the materials alone cost a lot of money.

It's just that I didn't expect that people are not as good as heaven, but they moved out after two years of living.My mother-in-law is really distressed that no one lives in this good house. If it is really deserted, you are welcome, so she comes to clean it from time to time, thinking that if the wife and brother family want to come back in the future, they can live in a ready-made house. "

"Then why don't you move here by yourself, I see that the house is much more spacious than the house your family lives in now." Shunzi asked curiously.

The middle-aged man smiled and shook his head: "My house is also parked. I have a small family and it is enough to live in. Besides, no matter how good other people's houses are, they belong to others. How can I feel comfortable living in my own house.

By the way, there is a backyard beyond the corridor, let me take you to see it? "

"Then let's go and have a look. You may have to stay in Lushan County for a few more days." Gu Qi said.

"That's a good relationship." The middle-aged man was amused, and couldn't help asking: "What is the young master doing in Lushan County?"

"Looking for relatives. By the way, I am also planning to do some business." Gu Qidao.

"Business?" The middle-aged man was a little surprised: "To tell you the truth, I don't think we can do any business in Lushan County right now. I think you saw it on the way to the city. The shops on the road are closed. , as early as a year ago, all the merchants ran away. Now there are still places where you can do business in the entire Lushan County, probably the stalls on the side of Liuhang Street, all of which are set up by the pedestrians. Where did the original There was a square market. Later, when the square market collapsed, it was stopped by the pedestrians.

Right now, the official yamen can't produce rice and grain, and the grain shops in the city have long been empty, and the stalls in the foot gang can still buy rations at a high price.If you want to buy rations later, everyone, go to Liuhang Street to have a look.By the way, if you want to buy clean well water, you can go to Liuhang Street. There are several wells still producing water, and now they are also controlled by the pedestrians, and they cost [-] cents a barrel.However, with such a heavy rain today, the young master will not spend much time looking for things to pick up later, so there is no need to waste money there. "

"The wells in Lushan County that still produce water in the city are not under the control of the government. How could they fall into the hands of the Pedestrians?" Shunzi was a little surprised.

"The government is also in control, but not here. It is located in the north of the city. The government office is in the north of the city. There are also several wells controlled by the government. All the people who have the city registration of Lushan County can rely on their household registration. I went to the official's house in two days to get a bucket of water. Today happened to be the day to get the water, and my mother-in-law went to line up early. A few of them are foreign businessmen without household registration, and it costs money to go to the official's house. Twenty cents a barrel, and it takes two hours to go back and forth. It’s really not worth it. It’s better to go to the Liuhang Street Pingjiao Gang to exchange it. It’s here, it won’t take much effort.”

"The lord of your Lushan county is very generous. In these years, you have given the control of several wells to the Pedestrian Gang. A bucket of water is twenty yuan. Who doesn't want to use water? After a whole day, how much money do you have to earn?" Jiang Ping asked curiously.

The middle-aged man waved his hand and explained: "Your Majesty, there is nothing you can do. The official granary in the county was empty a year ago, and now even the government can't produce a morsel of rice, let alone the rice store. They were completely removed. If it weren't for the traveling helpers who were able to bring in so much food from time to time, people in the entire Lushan County would starve to death.

Don't look at the people from the Pedestrian Gang who have raised the price of rice by more than ten times, but they still don't want to come because of this. It is said that the county magistrate asked someone to contact him privately and begged for it. The location of Liuxing Street , and a few wells near Liuxing Street were also exchanged for this reason. After all, the middle-aged man couldn't help sighing. He didn't know whether it was for himself or for the poor-sounding county man.

"How do you know that this is not a private collusion between your county man and the pedestrians?" Jiang Ping couldn't help asking.
