Chapter 22 Xiaogu

Author: Xiyueshi

Wuliu Street, the imperial capital.

This is a place where middle and lower classes of civilians gather. Here, poverty has a way of living! Here, poverty has a joy of poverty!

And this place is also a place where beggars gather, big and small, old and young.

During the day, they would go to other prosperous places to beg, such as Suncut Street, Donghuai River, Zhuangyuan Street and other places where powerful people gather.

At night, I went back to my own beggar's nest on Wuliu Street to sleep.

At this time, Wei Mo and the other two had settled down in a courtyard on the east side of Wuliu Street.

"Wei Mo, is this really the Shi family's ancestral home?" Luo'er looked around curiously and asked. Although it was a bit old, it was very clean.

Wei Mo replied after hearing this: "That's right, our secret guards have rescued the Shi family couple. This time they specially asked them to borrow their identities."

Luoer then asked, "Where did the couple go?"

Seeing Luo'er breaking the casserole and asking the end, Wei Mo shook his head helplessly and continued: "The secret guard has arranged for them to hide."

"Chu Yao has been weak since childhood, and the two have not had any children for many years. We arranged for famous doctors to treat her. So, they are now at the headquarters for treatment."

"The headquarters of our Wu'an Marquis's Secret Guards has always been under the jurisdiction of the Marquis, the Crown Prince and Chu Yi. I don't know the specific situation. Anyway, the couple will not appear before our mission is completed."

Luo'er nodded while listening: "Oh oh."

"What else do you want to know?" Wei Mo continued to ask.

"It's gone." Luo'er shook her head and replied.

Wei Mo continued: "Then we will contact Xiaogu today. After we start to act, we will slowly enter everyone's vision."

"So, remember that from now on, we can't call me Wei Mo anymore, otherwise we will reveal it, and that will ruin the master's affairs."

"I understand! But, you must shout, shout, shout..." Luo'er squinted his mouth and didn't say anything for a long time.

Wei Mo quickly continued, "Then call me brother."

Luo'er asked with a puzzled look: "Is that okay? Wouldn't you be misleading?"

Wei Mo replied after hearing this: "Before they got married, Chu Yao was called Brother Shi Yanyu, and after they got married, they also called Brother Husband or Brother."

When Luo'er heard this, she glared at Wei Mo and roared angrily: "Wei Mo, then you didn't say it earlier!"

Wei Mo was anxious and said quickly: "After they got married, they called their elder brother occasionally. I'm afraid you will be confused."

Luo'er stared at Wei Mo for a long time before he looked back half-believingly: "Brother, I'm hungry."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the pavilion in the yard, lying on the stone table, feeling sulky. Why do you always think that Wei Mo did it on purpose? You must talk to the lady when you go back!

Seeing this, Wei Mo said flatteringly: "The ingredients in the kitchen are all prepared. I'll go see what you have to eat, so you can wait first."

After a long time, three dishes and one soup were placed on the stone table in the pavilion.

"My wife, this is crispy duck, this is steamed sea bass, this is fermented bean curd, this is wild vegetable tofu soup." Wei Mo pointed to the dishes on the table and introduced it dutifully.

Luo'er opened her eyes wide, looked at the dishes in front of her, and said in surprise: "There are so many ingredients here! And, you can actually cook so many dishes!"

Wei Mo explained conscientiously: "Master said, what you like to eat, please make sure I prepare more ingredients. The kitchen interior has specially built an ice room. The secret guard has arranged people. Every two days, he will deliver ingredients here as Shang Qu."

"It's better to be a lady, hehe... delicious!" Luo'er happily ate the dishes while praising her lady, completely ignoring Wei Mo's words, "Madam."

Wei Mo, who was on the other side, diligently grabbed the vegetables into Luo'er's bowl and said, "This bass was just salvaged by the fishermen this morning. The brothers there looked good, so they sent it here. You can eat more."

Luoer asked while eating the dishes: "Brother, have you sent the note to Xiaogu?"

"It's delivered. After dinner, we will go out for a walk and get familiar with the surrounding environment. We can meet Xiao Gu in about an hour." Wei Mo replied.

Luo'er gnawed the crispy duck in her mouth and kept lit her head: "Yeah, yeah, okay."

Wuliu Street.

Wuliu Street is actually very big, not just a street, but a general name. It starts from Wuliu Market. Next to Wuliu Market is a small forest full of willow trees. There are five kinds of willow trees in the forest, which is very beautiful. Wuliu Market and Wuliu Street are all named after this.

The grove is also the boundary between the powerful and the civilians. To the east of the grove is the area where the powerful and the wealthy live, and to the west of the grove is the area where the civilians live, with a long history.

Zhulinfang, a leisurely and elegant teahouse. On the table facing the street window, there are six dishes and one soup, all with colors, fragrance and flavor. Luoer, wearing a grass-green embroidered skirt, was staring at the table of dishes.

"Brother Shi." A kind cry came from the entrance of the corridor.

I saw a dark-skinned middle-aged man walking towards Wei Mo from the entrance of the corridor with a delicate boy.

"Uncle Xiao is here, come, please sit down, please sit down!" Wei Mo stood up and warmly welcomed the middle-aged man.

"I heard you are coming, but I am so happy. Come on, let me introduce you to you. This is Xiao Gu, and he is most familiar with the imperial capital. This time, I specially asked him to come and help." Uncle Xiao introduced with a smile.

Wei Mo nodded and said, "Hello Xiaogu! I heard Uncle Xiao talk about you in the letter before, and I will trouble you in the future!"

I saw Xiao Gu, dressed in a boy, said carelessly: "Brother Shi, you are polite. I, Xiao Gu, are just a rough man, don't pay too much etiquette, don't be accustomed to being weird!"

"It's okay, Xiaogu, you can do whatever you want!" Wei Mo replied.

"Okay!" Xiaogu replied with a smile.

"Is this brother and sister?" Uncle Xiao turned his head and looked at Luo'er beside him and asked.

"Uncle Xiao, this is the inner son Chu Yao and Yaoer, this is the Uncle Xiao I told you before." Wei Mo introduced.

Luo'er smiled and said, "Hello, Uncle Xiao, I often hear from my elder brother mention you. This time we are here in the imperial capital, so many things are to bother you!"

Uncle Xiao smiled and replied, "You are polite. In Jincheng that winter, I encountered a robber and lost all my money. Thanks to Brother Shi's help on the road, I was able to return to the city early. Otherwise, just for my journey, I would probably have to sleep in the wilderness in the middle of winter. Brother Shi and I are close friends, and these are all due to these."

Wei Mo said after hearing this, "Uncle Xiao, these are all old things. Let's not mention them anymore. Come and drink tea, Xiaogu also drink tea, and you also eat more dishes. I heard that these are the special dishes of this restaurant, you can try them."

There were four people at a table, chatting while eating, and the two men were drinking wine, eating meat, and talking about business affairs.

The other two were also chatting while eating a table of dishes with great interest. Wei Mo, who was beside him, did not forget to peel the shrimps responsibly and put them into the bowl of the woman next to him.

"It seems that Xiaogu and Yao'er have a good chat. This is really great. I will probably be very busy in the early stage of opening the Fuqing Hospital. I will have to worry about Xiaogu at that time. It's better to spend more time with Yao'er." Wei Mo said when he saw the situation.

"Brother Shi, don't worry, I am the most familiar with this imperial capital. I will definitely take Sister Yao around more in the future, so I won't let her be bored." Xiaogu said with a smile.

Wei Mo raised his wine glass and said, "Okay, Brother Shi thanks in advance!"
