Chapter 105: The Greeting Gift
Trapped in the snowy mountains, the weather is cold, and even the only food is a bag of fried beans.
Hu Yuanwai opened his mouth and muttered: "What else can I find to do, just close my eyes and wait for death." ”
"Haha......" Gu Juan laughed, "and we started counting icicles." ”
"Sixty-three icicles, twenty-seven long, thirty-six short, Guo Shaoxia counted sixteen times, Yan Shaoxia counted forty times, and there was a Wang Dong Wang Shaoxia, but only counted three times. ”
Foreign Minister Hu exhaled a breath of wine, "It's really an unexpected answer, you young heroes are really temperamental, it's just that why did Wang Shaoxia only count three times?"
Gu Juan smiled and said very seriously: "Because Wang Shaoxia is most afraid of loneliness, he doesn't dare to count most of them, and he has to keep those icicles and count them slowly." ”
"Uh......"
Hu Yuanwai was stunned for a long time before he asked stupidly: "What about you, Mr. Gu, how many times have you counted?"
Gu Juan laughed again, and seemed to be extremely happy, "I, I didn't count it once." ”
Hu Yuanwai froze again, and after substituting himself into the story, he even felt that he would go crazy if he didn't count the icicles: "In that environment, if Mr. doesn't count the icicles, won't he feel bored?"
Gu Juan picked up the wine bowl and drank it all, leaned over and lowered his voice: "No, I'm more bored, so I'll hide the bag of fried beans and don't count them, and secretly count them by myself." ”
Hu Yuanwai directly picked up the wine jar this time, "When you float a big white, when you float a big white!"
He poured a big pour, exhaled a breath of wine and said: "I like to read miscellaneous books and anecdotes, but they are not as interesting as the things that Mr. Gu has experienced, especially the official history classics I read in the past, which are extremely boring and have no taste at all." ”
Gu Juan's eyes narrowed, but he waved his hand and said: "This is wrong, the historian cherishes ink like gold, maybe after a big event at that time, what is left is just a few words, how many things can we outsiders see from it if we are not immersive?"
Hu Yuanwai took a sip of wine, and was pondering the meaning of Gu Ju's words, when he heard him continue.
"Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, where there are courts, there are disputes, and where there are conquests, there are all kinds of conspiracies and tricks, but in the history books, how many people's names can be seen outside the staff, let's just say that the academy teacher mentioned to me before the staff, the person who is highly respected by you, has achieved the position of a county keeper who governs a county, and a big man who can make a radius of hundreds of miles tremble with a stomp of his feet. ”
Gu Juan paused at this point, took a sip of wine, and said seriously: "You can think about it, if it is another hundred years and thousands of years, can he leave his name in the history books, and let thousands of sentient beings still remember him?"
Hu Yuanwai was stunned for a moment, and only after a long time did he sigh leisurely: "It's difficult, if there is no monstrous encounter, it is almost impossible!"
"That's it. Gu Juan laughed and raised the wine bowl again, "So, we laymen still like to do these mundane things of eating and bragging, just be happy." ”
With the story to accompany the wine, every time you have to be a big white, Hu Yuanwai even forgot to eat a few more bites, and in the end, he was naturally drunk, and almost had to pull the bamboo pole for drying clothes as a sword, and gave up his family property to wander the rivers and lakes with Gu Ju.
On the second day, Gu Juan drove the wild dog out early in the morning, and when he returned in the afternoon, he saw Hu Yuanwai, who was vain, coming out of Feng Cunzheng's house, and after a few words of greeting and talking, he was sent to the carriage and left.
For several days, he would go out early in the morning, and then return before nightfall to deliver the prey to the villagers for food and clothing.
At noon one day, Gu Juan threw the richest harvest in the past few days to the little maid to clean up, and went into his hut alone and closed the door, his expression was calm and indifferent, and there was no longer the profligate wreckage shown at the banquet that night.
After resting for a while in this peaceful village, he prepared to leave in the next few days.
If there was no danger that could come at any time, he might have lived a little longer in this simple village, but unfortunately, they were not people of the world.
If he stays here, he will not only bring them prey, but even unimaginable dangers.
Knowing that Gu Juan was leaving, Feng Cunzheng didn't do much to keep him, but just held a banquet for two days in a row to see him off.
On the second day, just after drinking from Feng Cunzheng's house, Gu Juan returned to his residence, first secretly muttered a few words to himself about laziness and procrastination, and then simply went back to the house and closed the door.
He was just about to strip and go to bed for a nap, when suddenly there was a shout from the little guy outside.
"Mr. Gu, Hu Yuanwai has come to look for you. ”
The little guy ran from the courtyard gate and bowed to Gu Ju.
Huyuan outside the town of Youxie?
This made Gu Juan a little surprised.
He and Hu Yuanwai just met at the village banquet that time, although they chatted very happily at the time, in fact, they were not even nodding friends, but more strangers who disappeared into the vast sea of people after meeting once.
So, Hu Yuanwai suddenly came to Fenglian Village again this time, and he came straight to the door without saying hello, what was the matter?
However, he was a guest, and he didn't plan to leave today anyway, so he just had tea and chatted with the squire.
After a short time, Hu Yuanwai, who was wearing a cotton robe, sat in the living room.
However, what made Gu Juan even more puzzled was that he didn't visit alone, and even brought a young and beautiful woman who was about twenty touches over.
"Ahem...... Mr. Gu, I took the liberty to come here, I don't know if it disturbed Mr. Purity. ”
Hu Yuanwai seemed to be in a bad spirit, his eye sockets were deep-set, and his complexion was a little blue, as if he hadn't rested well for many days.
"It doesn't matter. Gu Juan smiled and poured tea for the two of them, "I don't have much else, but I have a lot of free time, and it can be regarded as a relief for outsiders to come to me for tea and chat." ”
Hu Yuanwai glanced back, and the young woman standing behind him suddenly woke up, took out a box slightly larger than a palm, stepped forward and respectfully placed it on the table.
"She's my concubine Xiao Yun...... Visiting Mr. for the first time, a small meeting gift, not a respect. ”
Gu Juan was a little surprised, he didn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and he would ask for a gift for no reason, Hu Yuanwai was begging him to do something?
You must know that the identity he is playing now is neither the counselor of the Persona Division nor Gu Baihu, but just a pretending to be a profound teacher, so what can happen to this Hu Yuan, who can make Youxie Town shake three times by stomping his feet?
Could it be that this person saw through his true identity and wanted to use his face to get a fortune?
No, even if Hu Yuanwai is sharp-eyed, then even if he wants to find a background, wouldn't it be better to find a teacher from his own academy?
Gu Juan shook his head, vetoed this irresponsible ridiculous speculation, simply didn't say anything, didn't do anything, and waited for the other party to speak first when he couldn't hold his breath.
However, he didn't do nothing, on the contrary, he picked up the wooden box directly from the table, and opened it in front of Hu Yuanwai and the young woman without changing his face.
Oh?
It's such a big gift for the first time?
After taking a deep look, and reaching in and touching it, Gu Juan closed the lid again, but did not return it, but put it in his hand, rubbing the carved patterns on the surface of the box from time to time.
In addition to a few silver tickets, there is also a jade pendant in the box, and it is absolutely known at a glance that it is carved from the best old materials worth 10,000 gold, and then after I don't know how many years of maintenance and precipitation, it has the current luster.
What's more, he felt a stream of heat from the depths of the jade pendant, and even the true qi in the dantian seemed to be a little lively.
This meeting gift was very heavy, very heavy, so heavy that even people like him, who didn't have much concept of ancient silver coins, couldn't put it down.
