Qin Xiao thought to himself that this man should be Qiuniang's husband, but this man is not an ordinary civilian's clothes, with a round neck and wide sleeves, and a belt around his waist, but he looks like a man in a public door. , I thought to myself that if this person is really Qiu Niang's husband, he is also a member of the public door, how could he let his wife come out and show her face.
"Let's go home." The man was calm and composed, and spoke slowly: "It's okay."
Qiuniang was a little annoyed and said, "It's okay now, but just now the group deceived people so much that my boat was knocked over."
The man glanced at the surface of Luoshui, still calm and calm: "The boat will capsize and it will turn over. You won't go out to punt the boat anymore. Let's save some more."
"Simply speaking, don't punt the boat, let's drink northwest wind?" Qiuniang heard the man's words, and was not angry: "Your monthly salary is spent completely, without me earning money. With this amount of silver, we have long since starved to death."
The man was a little embarrassed and touched his chin and said, "Save some in the future and stop spending money."
"Speaking like this every day, have you ever done it?" Qiuniang sighed, and finally looked at Qin Xiao said: "Thank you for your guests today, but you still listen to me and leave quickly. They will not give up."
Qin Xiao just smiled, the man finally looked at Qin Xiao, somewhat puzzled, Qiuniang had already said, "If this guest hadn't helped me, I wouldn't know if I could see you alive."
"Oh?" The man immediately gave Qin Xiao his hand: "Gu Baiyi, thank you, Xiongtai for helping me."
Although he is a public person, he is polite to a piece of commoner. Although Qin Xiao has helped Qiuniang, his self-cultivation is not bad.
"This is my brother." Qiuniang said by the side: "He works as a errand at the public door."
Qin Xiao was taken aback, knowing that he had misunderstood before, thinking that Gu Baiyi was Qiuniang's husband, but turned out to be her brother.
Gu Baiyi looks two or three years younger than Qiuniang, who should be her younger brother, and said, "I can't talk about saving, but I just happened to run into it. No matter who encounters such a situation, he will not treat it as if he did not see it."
"That's not necessarily." Qiuniang said: "Those bastards in Qingyi Hall are arrogant and domineering. If they meet other guests, they are afraid to avoid them. How can they dare to come forward."
"Sister, I still have some things in my hands that I haven't finished." Gu Baiyi said: "It's okay if you are fine. I will go back to the Yamen first and go home sooner later." Then he said to Qin Xiao: "What is your surname?"
"Qin Xiao!" Qin Xiao said, "Xiaoyao's Xiao."
"Brother Qin, I live in the Kushui Alley of Huiyifang, not far from here. You can find it as soon as you inquire." Gu Baiyi was a little anxious: "I would also like to ask you to go over to have a light meal tonight. Thank you for your help. Don't do it anyway. Decline and see you tonight." Without waiting for Qin Xiao to speak, he turned on his horse, gave Qin Xiao another hand, and hurried his horse away.
Qin Xiao was in a daze, thinking that this person really came and went in a hurry.
Qiuniang glanced at Qin Xiao and said, "Don't take it seriously when he speaks. If...if you have something to do, you don't actually need to go."
Qin Xiao didn't expect Qiuniang to say that. She didn't seem to want to go there. If it was a weekday, Qin Xiao would only laugh, and would not actually run over, but thought that Gu Baiyi was a public servant. , I’m worried that there is no way in the government. If I can use Gu Baiyi’s way to find out about Han Yunong,
Naturally it couldn't be better.
Although Gu Baiyi might not be able to really inquire about it, seeing that he was wearing it, he was just an ordinary official, not a high-ranking official, but even if it was a glimmer of hope, Qin Xiao didn't want to let it go.
"If you have time, you should visit yourself." Qin Xiao didn't say anything to death, and said, "Sister Qiuniang, do you want me to send you back?"
"No need." Qiuniang hurriedly shook her head, and stuffed the cloth bag with silver taels into Qin Xiao's hands and said, "I took the money from the ship, and you will collect the remaining silver."
A hundred taels of silver is really nothing to Qin Xiao, but to a boat girl who can only earn one tael of silver a month, it is an astronomical figure. It is very strange why Qiuniang did not collect it. Seeing Qiu Mother carefully put away that little bit of silver, and suddenly understood.
Chuan Niang didn't pay Tsing Yi Tang, but she didn't want to be exploited for the hard-earned money she earned, but in her bones, she definitely had a fear of Tsing Yi Tang.
It's okay to get back the money from the ship, but if you really take this cloth bag, it will be eaten from the mouth of a tiger, and the money will be hot potato.
The people in Tsing Yi Tang suffered such a big loss, as Qiuniang said, it is impossible to give up.
If you take away the money bag, it will be a trouble, but if you only take the money from the boat, Qiu Niang is arguable even when facing people in Tsing Yi Tang.
He wanted to understand Qiuniang's thoughts, and didn't force it. He took the money bag and nodded slightly and said: "Then you go back first, I won't give you away."
Qiuniang didn't say much, wrapped in that robe, holding a kitchen knife in her hand, owed Qin Xiao a little, didn't say a word, and left in a hurry.
Qin Xiao watched her walking away, smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Although he was helping out today, he was a hero, but in Qiuniang's eyes, he might not be very grateful to him.
Tsing Yi Tang looked for Qiuniang to collect the cash and killed her. It was nothing more than to let the other boat maidens know that to live a boat in Kyoto, Tsing Yi Tang must be a part. Even if Qiu Niang resists, Tsing Yi Tang can’t really treat her. Just teach her a lesson.
But as soon as he shot himself, and beat Lee in the middle, things became complicated.
At least in the eyes of Tsing Yi Tang, she has become their enemy. Qiuniang didn't look very good when she left, and there was a trace of obvious worry between her eyebrows. She was naturally worried that Tsing Yi Tang would settle accounts after the fall.
In other words, acting out of righteousness may have caused Qiuniang even more trouble. Just now Qiuniang said that she had a life-saving grace for her, but she didn't necessarily think so in her heart. I'm afraid she is still thinking about offending her bald Li. Tsing Yi Tang, that was dragging him.
Qin Xiao didn't worry about what he had done.
He hung the money bag around his waist and walked slowly along the Luoshui River. Every time he walked, he saw someone staring at him not far away from the corner of his eye. Qin Xiao didn't change his expression, his heart was funny, he knew it was certain. It is the eyeliner of Tsing Yi Tang School.
Qin Xiao had a way to deal with such eyeliner. He deliberately pretended not to see it and wandered around the middle of the city. At first, the two people behind followed him and stared at Qin Xiao, but they followed Qin Xiao around a few times, feeling confused. , Has lost the trace of Qin Xiao.
Of course Qin Xiao didn't go far. He saw the two men leaving with a depressed expression before returning to the place where the horse was tied.
What Qiuniang said was correct. The horses were tied to the Luoshui River, and there was really no one to lead them away. She led the horses around the street for a while, and saw that it was getting late, so she asked someone to inquire about Huiyifang.
position.
Huiyifang was not far away. Qin Xiao asked Ming where he was, and walked towards Huiyifang. On the way, he saw a dim sum shop. He wanted to ask Gu Baiyi to help him find out about Han Yunong and Du Hongsheng, so he bought two packs. Bring snacks.
Kyoto is based on squares.
Each square is like a small town, self-contained. One hundred and eight squares in Kyoto are also the number of heaven and earth. The closer to the imperial city, the more expensive the house price and the more people live in. Rich officials are rich, and the more you rely on the periphery, the more humble your identity.
Huiyifang is actually not a peripheral area, but it is definitely an ordinary market, and high-ranking officials do not bother to go to such a market.
Each square is separated by a high wall fence, and there are not many exits from the city square, and each is guarded by soldiers.
During the day, the people in each workshop can move around freely in Kyoto, but at night, they can't leave the workshop without any problems. If they are found, they will be beaten or put in prison.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker, Qin Xiao knew that he might not be able to leave Huiyifang tonight and could only find a place to rest in Huiyifang.
Before the hour, although there are soldiers watching over the Fangmen, they will not inquire, unless the sneaky arouses the suspicion of the soldiers, Qin Xiao is young, and his face is harmless to humans and animals. The soldiers do not care too much. Qin Xiao is When asked about the location of Kushui Alley in Huiyifang, the soldier was also very easy-going and pointed out the place.
Enter Huiyifang and find Kushui Alley. This is a very narrow alley, and the courtyards on both sides are quite dilapidated.
On both sides of the alley, there were about ten households. Qin Xiao didn’t know which one was where Gu Baiyi lived. He happened to see a fat woman walking out of a yard, and immediately stepped forward and said, "Auntie, ask Gu Baiyi’s residence. where?"
The fat woman glanced at Qin Xiao, then looked around, and then whispered: "Who are you? What are you looking for?"
"It's a friend, come and visit." Qin Xiao smiled.
"They still have friends in their family?" The fat woman saw Qin Xiao still carrying a greased paper bag with snacks in her hand, and said out of anger: "Are you cheated by them? They just can't get in. The goods are stingy, it's not a good thing, so please don't interact with their home."
Qin Xiao was stunned, thinking that this woman was so unkind. After all, there was something wrong with the neighbors. It seemed that there was something wrong with talking about people behind the scenes. I didn't know what was the conflict between this woman and the Gu family, and heard Qiuniang's voice sound. "Oh, who is the one who chews the tongue and farts behind his back? It's ugly and fat, even his heart is broken, and he likes to make rumors and make troubles. One day he annoys my mother and cuts it with scissors. Her mouth."
Qin Xiao heard the sound coming from the opposite side, turned around, and saw that the two dilapidated courtyard doors on the opposite side were tightly closed, and a figure behind the crack of the door was naturally Qiuniang.
"Yes, some shameless people think that they have a bit of beauty. They dress up like a fairy every day and run out all day long." The fat woman didn't show weakness, and said with her throat: "Who knows whether to go out and find a wild man? Now? How nice this alley used to be, but after some shameless things moved here, the sorrowful smell can be smelled all over the alley."
As soon as the words fell, only a "crunch" sound was heard, the courtyard door opened, Qiuniang had already stood up with the kitchen knife, with one hand on her hips, raised the arm holding the knife, the kitchen knife pointed at the fat woman and cursed: Who are you talking about?" She was soft and beautiful, but with a knife on her hips, she was very pungent. She was very different from the gentle and charming Qin Xiao when she first met her in Luoshui.
