Chapter 593: An Uninhabited Bamboo Forest
Wu Yong didn't have the good luck of the previous two times this time, he walked in the direction she chose for nearly a quarter of an hour, and he still didn't meet anyone, Wu Yong had to wonder if there was no one else living here except Su Juren.
After a quarter of an hour was up, Wu Yong could only embark on the way home, go to the carriage and wait for the others to come back.
Xiao Er was the second to come back after Wu Yong, and Wu Yong hurriedly asked, "Have you found anyone?"
Xiao Er shook his head: "No." ”
Wu Yong was slightly disappointed, but he didn't find it, so he didn't say anything.
Xiao Er was followed by the scholar, and without waiting for Wu Yong to ask, the scholar directly reported: "No one was found." ”
Wu Yong motioned for him to go to the carriage to rest first, and when Huang Guan came back and they knew his results, they could draw conclusions.
Huang Guan didn't delay for long, and soon after the scholar returned, he also appeared in front of Wu Yong's eyes.
Huang Guan said with a little pity: "I didn't find it, did you find someone?"
Wu Yong asked the scholar to come down: "We haven't found it either, it seems that the place where this Su Juren lives has also been selected, and he should have deliberately avoided the crowd." ”
The coachman who followed them weakly explained: "In this location, no one will live in the first place, and this place has always been only used for farming. ”
I have to say that to be able to build a house here, the relationship between that Su Juren and the former county magistrate must be very good, otherwise, it will not be approved.
Wu Yong also agreed with this: "Then let's go directly into the bamboo forest to find someone, I hope he is at home at this time." "Now that the sun is slowly setting, it shouldn't be too long before it gets dark, and their speculations might as well be asked after meeting people directly.
Huang nodded: "Okay, let's go." With that, Huang Guan took out the last gift on the carriage, and he needed to give it to that Su Juren when the time came.
Wu Yong and the scholar followed, and Wu Yong told the coachman: "You two choose one person to go to the city gate to watch, and come and urge us before closing the gate." ”
The coachman and Xiao Er nodded, they would discuss this matter themselves.
Wu Yong and the three of them slowly walked into the bamboo forest, the bamboo here is carefully selected fine bamboo, it looks like each plant is very tall and slender, when the breeze passes, the bamboo pole is only slightly shaking, and it looks extremely tough.
At this time, there were still many young plants in the bamboo forest that were still growing, and the tender green color made Wu Yong's original mood a little anxious because he couldn't find anyone a lot.
Under their feet was a road paved with bluestone slabs, which stretched to a house with white walls and black tiles.
There is a fence in front of the house, which is very low, and it is okay for Wu to use them if they want to climb over it directly, a typical anti-gentleman move.
Wu Yong and the scholar stood still, motioning for Huang Guan to let them hold the gift first, and he stepped forward to call people out.
Huang Guan handed over the box in his hand to Wu Yong, and said a little worriedly: "What if he is not in the house?"
Wu Yong: "If you're not there, we'll go back directly, and come back next time we have the chance." ”
Huang Guan heard Wu Yong say this, but he didn't have any psychological burden, picked up a bamboo branch from the ground, and asked while knocking on the fence door: "Is there anyone in the house?" ”
It was impossible for Huang Guan to really shout to get the attention of the people in the house, so he could only try to make a louder sound with bamboo branches.
Wu Yong and the scholar were also a little surprised that Huang Guan had such a lot of strength, and this voice should wake up even if the people in the house were sleeping.
Fortunately, Wu used their luck not too badly, and after Huang Guan asked three times, a lazy voice came out of the house: "Someone, wait a minute, I'll come and open the door." ”
I saw a person dressed in white, with a cloak and hair scattered, and the whole person looked like he hadn't woken up, if it weren't for his beautiful face, Wu Yong almost thought that this person was crazy.
I have to say that sometimes the face is still very important.
Su Juren struggled to open his sleep-deprived eyes and opened the door for Wu Yong: "Come in." ”
After finishing speaking, he turned around and went directly into the house, and Wu Yong was a little skeptical that he had seen their faces clearly.
Huang Guan's original confidence was half dispelled at once, such an unreliable person, does he really want to be invited to the academy?
Wu Yong and the scholar didn't care much about this, it was normal for talented people to have some strange tempers, and Wu Yong could smell the residual alcohol on this person's body, thinking that this person should have just woken up drunk before.
After Su Juren brought people to the lobby, he Shi Shiran went into the backyard again, and his voice came from the wind: "A few of you are self-deed, I'll wash up first." ”
There are all tables and chairs in the lobby, but people are required to sit on the floor.
Wu Yong hadn't sat on his knees for a long time, and after enduring discomfort for a while, he sat down cross-legged with self-abandonment.
The scholar and Huang Guan sat honestly on their knees.
Wu Yong asked, "Don't your legs hurt?"
The scholar cried with a sad face: "Pain." "But I don't know if this is a test for this Su Juren, and I have to endure the pain.
Huang Guan also thinks like this: "I can still endure it at the moment, but I don't know how long he will have to wash?"
Wu Yong couldn't judge this, anyway, he had already given up, and persuaded Huang Guan: "If you really can't hold on, it's the same as me, and so are you, scholar." ”
The two nodded, indicating that they would see what to do.
Wu Yong turned his head to look at the decoration in the lobby, there were several ancient paintings, the style was elegant and chic, and the tables and chairs were also prepared according to the ancient style, this Su Ju man obviously preferred a free lifestyle.
Looking from the door, Wu Yong could see that the inner circle of the fence was planted with all kinds of flowers and plants, but at this time it was not in flowering, and only a green leaf could be seen.
When Wu Yong was looking, Su Juren, who had finished washing, was also looking at them, what were the identities of these three people, and what they came to the door so suddenly, they didn't know anything about it, it seemed that it was time to go to the county seat.
However, seeing the three of them sitting in completely different postures, the three of them should not be the kind of old-fashioned people, Su Juren planned to go out to meet, at least to figure out their intentions, and then decide whether to send them away.
Su Juren opened the curtains in the backyard and lobby, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry to be lazy, I'll let someone bring tea." Su Juren sat down on the vacant seat as he spoke, and Wu sat cross-legged with that kind of thing, not caring about the image at all.
Wu Yong and the scholar were silent, and the scholar silently adjusted his sitting posture, clenching his fists and hitting his slightly numb legs.
Huang Guan also slowly relaxed and adjusted his sitting posture, and began to greet this Su Juren: "No, no, we took the liberty to come to disturb us." ”
