"Do you know?" Lu Chen looked at Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao said: "Oh, he has been watching Bishui Hutong for a long time, and he even bought a golden abacus that he has passed through. He calls himself Young Master Mingyue."
Liaochen looked at each other again, his eyes became cold: "He came for the clear air? Who are you?"
Young Master Mingyue also recognized Gu Jiao, he rubbed his chest, stood up and said angrily to Chen Chen, "I'm not here for that little monk! I'm here for you!"
Liaochen: "Me?"
Young Master Mingyue said angrily: "I have been inquiring about your whereabouts for the past few years! I managed to track down your temple, but you rarely show up, so I can only stare at your apprentice! I watched from Zhao Kingdom. Yan country, stared here from Yan country again..."
However, Lu Chen's whereabouts are too secretive, even if he has been staring at Xiao Qingkong all the time, there are always times when he misses.
"Why are you staring at me? I don't know you."
Young Master Mingyue said coldly, "You don't know me, but you hurt my people and stole my things! Hurry up and return the things to me! Otherwise, I want you to look good!"
"It turns out that it's the two of you." Gu Jiao gathered up her murderous aura, hugged the red ying gun, and started watching the play in a leisurely manner.
Luochen is not someone who can be threatened. He curled his red lips like a mockery and said, "Oh? You said I took your things, do you have any evidence?"
Young Master Mingyue's face sank: "The guard is dead, and there is no witness, but you know best whether you take it or not!"
Liaochen smiled lightly: "What did I take from you?"
Young Master Mingyue said angrily, "Sword!"
"Sword..." Lu Chen smiled casually, "There are indeed many people who donated swords to me, so I don't know which one was given to me by your guard?"
Young Master Mingyue said angrily, "What is it for you? You clearly robbed it!"
Lu Chen looked at him with a half-smile, not at all irritated by his words.
Young Master Mingyue also knows that he is now the passive side, his skill has been affected a little, and now he is not the opponent of these people.
You can't fight, you can only reason with the opponent.
Young Master Mingyue turned his head and looked at Gu Jiao: "This girl, I spent five hundred taels of silver to buy an abacus from your younger brother, and then you grabbed the abacus back, but you didn't give me a single penny, anyway, I earned it. With such a sum of money from me, will you at least prove my character to him?"
"Oh." Gu Jiao said to Chen, "As you can see, it's still a beating."
Young Master Mingyue: "..."
He took a deep breath: "Forget it, I won't argue with you about this. That sword is my... My father took a lot of effort to find the sword. My father died, and it is the only thing I think about in the world. , you can make a price, and I am willing to make a deal with you."
The man spoke lavishly, and Leo Chen was a little interested: "What does your sword look like?"
Young Master Mingyue said: "The black iron sword, the scabbard and the hilt are engraved with royal blue peacock feathers!"
Liaochen squinted his eyes slightly, and said thoughtfully, "Listening to what you said, I seem to have indeed seen such a sword."
Young Master Mingyue's eyes flashed with urgency: "As long as you are willing to give it back to me! I will pay you how much money you have!"
Lichen spread his hands: "It's a pity that you came late, that sword is not in my hand, I disliked it too heavy and threw it away."
Young Master Mingyue was startled: "Throw it, throw it away? How could it be... You better not lie to me!"
Gu Jiao said in her heart: What is there to deceive you? Is it strange for a prodigal monk who can even throw a fuxi qin into a charcoal basin as firewood, throwing you a sword
Liaochen said innocently: "I didn't lie to you, believe it or not, I really threw it away."
"Where did you throw it?" Young Master Mingyue asked.
Lu Chen smiled: "I don't remember that. I threw so many things, where can I remember them?"
Young Master Mingyue choked: "You!"
"Let's go." Lu Chen ignored him and took Gu Jiao out of the alley.
"You really don't remember?" Gu Jiao asked.
Lu Chen said lightly, "I don't remember to tell him."
Dare to attack his apprentice, I don't know whether to live or die!
I didn't kill him today, it's all cheap for him!
"Go in." Lu Chen took Gu Jiao to the door of the house, hesitated for a while, but decided to tell her, "It happened several years ago, in Yan country, I didn't take the initiative to grab it, but his guard brought it to the door. His guards bullied the weak old man in the teahouse. I couldn't see it, and I taught him a lesson. I was not interested in weapons, so I sold it to an iron shop near Shengdu. "
Gu Jiao had an epiphany: "So it is."
…
In the alley, the gray-clothed guard found his son.
Seeing his son supporting the wall with one hand and covering his chest with the other, as if he was injured, he strode over and supported the son's arm, saying, "Master! What's wrong with you? Are you feeling sick again?"
Young Master Mingyue said with a pale face: "I just went to catch the little monk, who would have expected that person to appear..."
The gray-clothed guard frowned and said, "Did he hurt you?"
"My body is getting weaker and weaker, and I'm not his opponent." Young Master Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief, "He said that the sword is not in his hands, it doesn't look like he's lying."
The gray-clothed guard turned pale in shock: "What? The sword is not in his hands? Then we have been staring at his apprentice for so long? Young master, your situation is getting worse, or... Let's go back?"
Young Master Mingyue looked at the dark night and said with a complicated expression: "Without the sword, we can't go back."
…
That night, Gu Jiao rested in Bishui Hutong.
An Guogong came out of the palace and took a carriage back to the mansion bought by his servants.
Zheng Guanshi also came to Zhaoguo, he smiled and said to Anguo justice: "Master... er... No, it's time to change your name to Miss. Miss won't come back tonight, will you be sad?"
An Guogong smiled: "What's so sad about this? She's been with me for so long, so it's right for her to go back to accompany her mother. There are many people who love her, and it's too late for me to be happy. Ah, by the way, remember to count those dowries. , I always feel that it is not enough, and I want to buy some more. The wedding date has been brought forward to next month, it has to be as soon as possible, let's go tomorrow! "
Manager Zheng was dumbfounded.
Isn't that right, Grandpa, isn't that enough
All red makeup, okay
Marrying a princess is not so big.
In the dowry he brought, in addition to the family business he had earned over the years, there was also the dowry that Xuanyuan Zi brought into the Duke's Mansion.
Now it's all brought to Gu Jiao.
Rao is like this, he wants to give her more.
…
The next day, Steward Zheng came to Bishui Hutong.
It stands to reason that Duke Ango was going to visit Yao's house, but Yao's family was a female family, which was somewhat inconvenient, so Duke Anguo only asked Steward Zheng to bring some special products of the Yan Kingdom to the door, which was regarded as greeting each other.
Yao shi said warmly, "Grandpa Guo has a heart, thank him for me."
Yao Shi asked the servants to prepare a return gift, and waited for Gu Jiao to take it with him when he next visited Duke An Guogong.
After Steward Zheng left, Gu Jiao was ready to go out.
She had said hello to her aunt last night, but she hadn't seen her aunt yet.
She plans to go to the palace in a while.
It happened that Yao Shi also wanted to buy a few sets of beautiful jewelry for Gu Jiao. Although there was no shortage of jewelry at home, they were all from the past. She wanted her daughter to choose it herself.
The mother and daughter hugged Gu Xiaobao, took the candied fruit made by the uncle, and got on the carriage.
Their trip today is to buy jewelry together, and then go to the palace to visit their aunt.
"Auntie." Gu Xiaobao said.
Gu Jiao looked at him curiously.
Yao Shi smiled and said, "The queen mother always gives him delicious food every time she comes. He likes my aunt."
Gu Xiaobao was wearing tiger-head shoes and a tiger-head hat today, and he was so angry and babbling.
Gu Jiao couldn't hold back, and squeezed his little cheek lightly.
"Do you want my sister to hug?" Yao Shi asked.
Gu Xiaobao plunged into his mother's arms, his little feet kicked excitedly.
The three came to Baolinxuan, the largest jewelry shop in the capital.
Gu Xiaobao doesn't like to walk, so when he went to open the door for Gu Jiao yesterday, he had already walked for a month.
Yao shi wanted to put him on the ground, he curled his calf, and his feet could not touch the ground.
Yao Shi couldn't, so he had to hold him in his arms.
Gu Jiao had a marriage contract and wore a veil according to the custom of the capital.
Her birthmark was covered, and her eyes were so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off her, but when her veil was blown up by the wind, revealing the red birthmark on her left face, everyone immediately shook their heads in disappointment.
Yao shi frowned and held her daughter's hand distressedly.
Gu Jiao: "I'm fine."
She was used to these eyes.
Yao shi took a deep breath: "It's right for the wedding date to advance."
The Shougong Sand is about to fall... Soon...
"What?" Gu Jiao asked.
Yao shi's eyes flashed, and she sneered: "Ah, I mean... Your wedding date is early, it's good."
As soon as the voice fell, a little maid came to the side and called to Yao: "Madam!"
Yao shi stopped and looked at each other with Gu Jiao.
The little maid came to her and bowed respectfully: "It's really you! The young master is here too!"
Gu Xiaobao's face was indifferent.
