After being dressed as a scumbag, I was dismissed? !

Pushing Chongming out of the door, closing the door, Guan Zhou quickly looked in the bronze mirror, and found that his clothes were disheveled and had red marks on them. For the next two days, Guan Zhou didn't speak to Gu Beizhi.

Gu Beizhi knew that he was ashamed and annoyed, so he didn't dare to provoke him, but every day before going to bed, he would ask Tian Geer to send a silk flower, a wooden hairpin or a pack of snacks, and leave home every morning to go to work Sometimes, he will say something to Guan Zhou who is avoiding him.

On the third day, Guan Zhou couldn't bear to avoid him anymore, but Gu Beizhi didn't stop his habit of giving away some things at night. He bought them from the stalls he encountered on the way back from work, and there were many varieties. But they are not very expensive, just a few pennies.

Guan Zhou was very useful, but he spent a lot more than the budget when renovating the house, and the family's money was already stretched. Gu Beizhi has been thinking about how to make money recently.

Xia Tian and Chongming discussed it, and took out one of the bank notes they brought out at the beginning, and sent it to Gu Beizhi. It was originally for the purpose of building a house for the two of them, and they should bear it by themselves.

Gu Beizhi didn't expect that there was a large amount of money hidden in them. It can only be said that he underestimated the wisdom of the two little brothers to survive, but he didn't ask for the money, but asked them to keep it. .

"Although the two of you can't change your household registration now, after a few years, no one will remember your original things. You can spend some money to clear it up. Now that you have changed your name, it's just too much to change your household registration again. Take some time, save it, and plan for your future."

After saying that, he returned the banknote to Brother Tian, ​​and Gu Beizhi pretended nothing of the matter and went to work as usual.

It's not his holy father, but since he decided to buy the two brothers, he is naturally able to afford the rest of his life. Gu Beizhi has never been a conceited person, and he has never done things beyond his ability.

The premise of being kind is to do what you can.

Just as he confidently said, the opportunity to earn a lot of money will come soon.

This opportunity was personally brought by Bao Yixuan's owner.

Gu Beizhi came to Baoyixuan early in the morning, and before he had time to clean it, he was called to the second floor by shopkeeper Du. Wang Shaoye was already inside, and there was a man in his thirties with no obvious features.

It is the kind of person who will not be remembered at all in the crowd at a glance. Even now that Gu Beizhi knows that he is his boss, he has no special impression the next day.

"Beizhi, this is our boss, Master Zhenrong." Shopkeeper Du introduced Gu Beizhi.

"I've seen my boss."

Xu Zhenrong waved his hand, "Don't be too polite, Xiao Gu, you and Shaoye have a look at this piece of porcelain together."

Gu Beizhi originally thought that he was a soy sauce maker. After all, Wang Shaoye has good eyesight and is an old employee of Baoyixuan. The owner must trust him more, but after Wang Shaoye just looked at it briefly, he let him go. .

Glancing at Shopkeeper Du, Gu Beizhi was a little worried, don't Wang Shaoye have any dissatisfaction with him?

In the past, he felt that Wang Shaoye had a gentle personality and was not a competitive person. He didn't seem to care much about gold and silver wealth, and Gu Beizhi would answer any questions related to his occupation without reservation, but he should He wouldn't back down if it was him, why was he so perfunctory today?

Xu Zhenrong seemed to see his doubts, "Xiao Gu, I know Shaoye's ability well, but he can't see this one. I heard that you are quite talented in porcelain, so come and have a look."

Having said that, Gu Beizhi could only suppress his doubts and leaned over to take a look. It was a dark bottle with a thin neck, round belly, round feet, and a lid. .

Looking closely at the body of the bottle, black porcelain is rare, and there are almost no specially fired black porcelain cultural relics. If it is rare, it must be rare, but no matter how Gu Beizhi looks at this bottle, he feels that the bottle is a bit big.

He unscrewed the cap, and the inside was still dark, but the space was extremely small, only the size of Gu Beizhi's fist.

There is no decoration on the body of the bottle, only the shoulders of the bottle are slightly undulating, which seems to be the defect caused by the failure of firing.

Gu Beizhi put on his gloves and traced a circle along the ups and downs of the shoulder of the bottle, as if he wanted to sculpt some coiled pattern. Looking at the shape of the vessel, he probably had a guess.

This should be because there is a Beaulieu bottle hidden inside, and the black layer on the outside is fired twice to protect the bottle inside.

With his own judgment, he dared to take a step back and observe the entire bottle, staring at it for three seconds without blinking. The appraisal result showed in his eyes, which was similar to what he had guessed.

'Type: Beaulieu Vase (Spiritual Vase)'

'Production time: 50 years'

'Value: 1 taels+'

'Appraisal evaluation: Since the true appearance of the Beaulieu bottle cannot be seen, it can only be roughly estimated. The Beaulieu bottle is made by the royal family, and very few people can use it. '

Gu Beizhi took a deep breath. Not many dragon vases were unearthed in later generations, and they were all well kept in the museum. He forgot that the dragon here is not a pattern that everyone can use. If one fails, it may cause trouble for the whole family.

"Boss, is this bottle going to be sold in the store?" Gu Beizhi put the bottle away and closed the wooden box.

"That's not true. A friend entrusted me to keep it temporarily. It's just that I think it's a strange shape, and it's not too old.

Gu Beizhi didn't want to get involved, so he said, "This bottle looks like a burial object, but the shape of the bottle is indeed a bit strange, and nothing else can be seen."

Xu Zhenrong glanced at him, "Since this is the case, then there is nothing to do, let's all go down."

Gu Beizhi and Wang Shaoye went downstairs together. The store had just opened at this time, and usually no one would come. Gu Beizhi and the two went back to the appraisal room at the back and started today's work.

Upstairs, when they all came down, a person came out from another room that shopkeeper Du usually used for a short break. If Gu Beizhi saw it, he would definitely feel familiar. It turned out to be Zheng Xing'an's second uncle, "How is it?"

Shopkeeper Du seemed to be very familiar with him, and said respectfully, "Young master, this old servant will go down first."

"Well, Uncle Du, let's get busy first." Xu Zhenrong's eyes were already on Mr. Zheng Er.

As soon as shopkeeper Du left, Xu Zhenrong couldn't wait to reach out his hand to Zheng Er. Zheng Er also followed his strength and sat on his lap as if he had lost his bones. He leaned his back against his arms and asked lazily, "That Gu Bei Do you see it?"

Xu Zhenrong hugged the person and reopened the wooden box, "I think his reaction should be that he saw something, but he didn't dare to say it."

Zheng Er sat up straight, "You mean he saw what this thing was?"

"I guess, but I'm [-]% sure it is." Xu Zhenrong pushed the wooden box away and hugged him tightly with both hands, "Where did you get this thing?"

"From my stupid third brother, he said that this thing can turn him into a golden bird. Idiot, he doesn't know if he is being used by others, but his mind is vicious, and he can even do things like killing his father."

"Calm down, old man, is it all right? It's not worth your time to be so angry. Now you have to find out who is using Zheng San'er behind the scenes? Zheng San'er's success is more than failure, and everyone in Liu County knows everyone." Xiao, choosing him to do it should be aimed at your Zheng family."

Zheng Er leaned on Xu Zhenrong relaxedly, "It is estimated that the eldest brother has developed too fast. He wanted to stop my family from the foundation, but he just chose a useless thing."

One of the two sons of the Zheng family is expanding abroad, and the other is staying at home to keep the business. This allows Zheng's Liangji to expand rapidly without the risk of site instability. In the past two years, it has attracted the attention of many people.

"Your nephew has gone to Liu's mansion again?" Xu Zhenrong asked casually, touching the slender waist of the man in his arms.

"En." Zheng Er leaned comfortably, without any effort.

"It seems that the Liu family is very defensive, otherwise Xing'an would not have succeeded for so long." Xu Zhenrong used a little strength to help Zheng Er massage carefully.

"Be careful sailing for thousands of years." Zheng Er admired the Liu family's caution.

"Okay, let's not talk about them, what do you want to do with this bottle?" Xu Zhenrong turned back to the bottle.

Zheng Er opened his eyes, "Tell me, did Gu Beizhi really see what this is?"

"He said it was a burial item, and then asked if it would be sold in the store. He twirled his fingers unconsciously while talking, and stared at me, which showed that he was very nervous about this issue." Xu Zhenrong analyzed.

"Then invite him to come and see. I'll ask that boy from Xing'an to invite him. If he pays more, he will always be willing." Zheng Er is very curious about this bottle, what makes that idiot Zheng San'er swear Can fly to the top?

"Why bother? It's someone from my store. I asked him to come and see him. How dare he lie to me?" Xu Zhenrong was not very happy that Zheng Er and Gu Beizhi had too much contact. Who is Gu Beizhi? , especially a pair of eyes.

Zheng Er knew what he was thinking, so he patted him, "Didn't he just notice it and didn't say anything? Besides, he is the teacher of the young master of the Liu family, so he is worthy of our wooing."

Xu Zhenrong was noncommittal, and only said, "Then I will also be present."

"Well, it's up to you." Zheng Er's tone was lazy, his eyelids were closed, and he felt drowsy, "As long as you don't be in front of my father, I'm up to you."

After getting his words, Xu Zhenrong's unhappiness disappeared immediately, he kept massaging his hands, and asked him another matter, "Where is big brother now?"

"The letter from the day before yesterday, arrived in the capital, and set up a line with the Sun family, but it seems that something happened to the Sun family recently. The head of the family, Sun Hetai, is not here, and the others can't be the masters, so it was delayed." Zheng Er moved and changed. pose.

"Hiss, I know about this." Xu Zhenrong supported Zheng Er's waist, and then rubbed it down to catch fire. The ancestor in his arms should be annoyed, "It also has something to do with the fallen Gu family."

"Ok?"

"Then Sun Hetai became the head of the Sun family at a young age, just because his father left early, leaving them orphans and widows. If he doesn't grow up, he will be swallowed by wolves and tigers and leopards.. . " Xu Zhenrong intends to tell this story in detail.

But Zheng Er didn't have the patience to listen, he was sleepy, he patted Xu Zhenrong's arm, "Get to the point."

"Tsk, Sun Hetai has a deep relationship with his mother, but he violated the old lady's wishes in marrying a wife, and married the concubine of the Gu family. No matter how dissatisfied the old lady is, she has to bear it for the face of the Gu family. Who would have thought that they had only been married for three years, and the crooked neck tree of the Gu family fell down, and the old lady forced her daughter-in-law to become a concubine and let her son marry her niece."

"Hmph!" Zheng Er was disdainful of Mrs. Sun's actions.

"Don't be angry, this Mr. Sun is also a strange person. He didn't want to be a concubine. After Sun Hetai compromised with his mother, he burned his own dowry, lost a divorce certificate and divorced Sun Hetai, and then went to the Yamen It was sold with the Gu family."

"How do you know?" Zheng Er opened his eyes, this matter was a bit shocking.

"Then Dr. Sun put the little servant around him as a good book, and asked the little waiter to stand at the entrance of the vegetable market with a letter of divorce to announce it. Now everyone in the capital knows it, including the scene where the cousin seduces the cousin. They all explain it clearly. "Xu Zhenrong admired the original Mrs. Sun very much, she was quite strong.

"Sun Hetai is also useless, and his husband can't even protect him." Zheng Er complained, then closed his eyes to rest, obviously not wanting to talk.

Xu Zhenrong also understands that Sun Hetai is really in a dilemma because he has his own mother on the one hand and his husband on the other. "After Sun Hetai calmed down the family affairs, he has now chased him out along the route of the Gu family's sale."

But it will take time. There are [-] to [-] people in the Gu family, and they are divided into several routes for sale. Every time they go to a place, a part will be sold, but they will not record the buyer's information. All they can find out is what was sold. people.

It is not an easy task to find it.

The next day, Zheng Xing'an came to the shop early and asked Gu Beizhi to appraise a piece of porcelain at his house.

Because he was a regular customer, Gu Beizhi went with him without thinking too much, but when he arrived at the house, he found that his boss was there, as well as the familiar wooden box.

"Xiao Gu, you also saw this thing yesterday. Xing'an said you have very good eyesight. Take a look again and tell me what you have." Xu Zhenrong said with a smile, his ordinary to ordinary face was different from that of a fox in Gu Beizhi's eyes. The faces overlap a bit.

Zheng Xing'an opened the wooden box, "Master Gu, help me take a look, this is also from my third uncle, is there something wrong?"

Gu Beizhi put down the toolbox, turned the porcelain bottle in his hand many times, and kept looking at the porcelain bottle, but he didn't speak for a long time.

Xu Zhenrong took his hesitation into consideration and motioned to Zheng Xing'an.

Zheng Xing'an went over and patted Gu Beizhi on the shoulder, "Master Gu, don't bother the second master, this bottle and the previous pottery were deliberately sold to my third uncle."

After a pause, he continued, "However, within the jurisdiction of Liu County, our Zheng family is still considered to be the best. The Xu family and our family are also family friends, so Master Gu will definitely not be troubled."

On the one hand, they told Gu Beizhi that he had already entered the water, and it was impossible to wash it off. On the other hand, they told Gu Beizhi that both of them would protect him.Let him talk about the good and the bad, and there is no possibility for Gu Beizhi to refuse. If he keeps pretending to be stupid and offends the Zheng family and offends the boss, it will be hard to say whether he will keep his job.

"Everyone in the north understands what Mr. Zheng said. It's just that this bottle is a hidden bottle. The outer layer of it is fired for the second time to protect the original vase. If you want to see the real vase, you need to remove it The outer layer needs to be broken, if one is not careful, it is likely to damage the treasure bottle inside."

Yesterday, Gu Beizhi only judged the result, and did not study how to open the bottle. He was actually very curious about such a hidden bottle.

On the one hand, I want to see what the treasure bottle hidden inside is like, but on the other hand, I feel that it is a pity to break the outer body of the bottle, and I am very entangled.

But don't worry about it now, the Zheng family will definitely choose to open it. He also found a shallow mark on the body of the hidden bottle just now, and by prying a little along the mark, the bottle inside can be taken out.

"Master Gu is sure?" Zheng Xing'an trusted Gu Beizhi's technology, and he didn't think about finding another master. "It doesn't matter if you can't take it out completely, as long as you know the secret inside."

"Master Gu, don't worry."

Seeing this, Gu Beizhi didn't delay much, and took out eight carving knives, brushes and cotton cloths of different sizes from his toolbox.

First take off the cap of the bottle, put it on the cotton cloth, and then ask Zheng Xing'an, "Mr. Zheng wants Beizhi to break the outer layer now?"

They are in Zheng Xing'an's study room, usually no one will disturb them, and the light is also very suitable. It is not impossible to pry open the outer layer now, but Gu Beizhi can't guarantee how long it will take.

"Master Gu, just stay here. If you can't finish it today, you can come over tomorrow morning and continue." Zheng Xing'an originally wanted Gu Beizhi to stay at Zheng's house, but then remembered that he had to go to Liu's house after work, so he could only let Gu Beizhi stay at Zheng's house. He will come again tomorrow.

"Okay, I'll try my best." Gu Beizhi simply turned over the cover, carefully observed the texture inside, held it up to the light from time to time, and then placed the cover flat on the cotton cloth, which was covered with many layers of fabric to prevent shock. Crush the entire bottle cap.

He took out a palm-sized hammer from the toolbox, and the hammer head was also small. He used the thinnest carving knife to deepen the mark on the inconspicuous texture of the bottle cap, and bought a slightly larger one to resist On the score line, then tap with a small hammer.

He uses very light and even force, knocking repeatedly along a circle of engraved lines. After enough times, he separates his fingers. The index finger and middle finger are stuck on both sides of the rounded corners of the cover, and the angle of opening is relatively large. Exactly the engraved lines.

Then he stood up, grabbed the rounded corner with the other hand, twisted and lifted it cleverly, and the rounded corner and the cover separated to reveal the sculpture inside which was more than half smaller, which was a roaring tiger.

The overall shape is only the size of a thumb, but it expresses the shape and spirit of the tiger vividly.The depiction is smooth and natural, lifelike, even the hair flow on the tiger's body is clear.

When the rounded corners were lifted, the rest of the parts would be ready. Gu Beizhi was not in a hurry, but tapped slowly and meticulously, and then opened it. In order to prevent the cover from being damaged, he didn't even dare to pry it with a carving knife. , but use your fingers to pick.

Even if you wear gloves, your fingers will inevitably be punctured and scratched, but at least you can open the entire cover without any damage. It is a beautiful yellow glaze cover, and the tiger on the top is a real orange and black glaze. , the body of the cover is bright yellow, and there is a circle of navy blue patterns on the outer edge.

Seeing the bottle cap, Xu Zhenrong had already guessed, so he couldn't help taking a breath, and hurriedly stopped Gu Beizhi from opening the bottle, "Wait a minute."

Gu Beizhi raised his head and got out of the working state, only to feel that his whole body was stiff, and even his feet were a little numb because of the long and hard work.

"Boss, what's the problem?" Gu Beizhi put the bottle away, put away the tools, and then stood up to move around.

Xu Zhenrong looked at him without any surprise, "You already know what's inside, right?"

"According to the shape of the bottle and the ups and downs on the outer layer, there may be some guesses, but I can't be sure. I just confirmed it after seeing the bottle cap. This is a Beaulieu bottle. Because it is a tomb object, strictly speaking Say, this is a spirit bottle."

In other words, someone robbed the Royal Tombs and took the bottle from it.

Gu Beizhi has done some research, and the Beaulieu bottle has not been around for a long time in the Zhao country, and it is usually used for burial of the royal family, the purpose is to protect the soul from being disturbed.

But because this type of utensil can also be used for evocation, in order to prevent the deceased from being disturbed, after a short appearance, it was abandoned again.

According to legend, there are no more than ten members of the royal family with this kind of bottle in the tomb, two of them are emperors, and three are princes who died unexpectedly.

In this way, if the bottle was stolen from the tombs of these five people, whoever owns it will be a capital crime, and at least the three clans will be implicated.

Xu Zhenrong really couldn't laugh now. This thing shouldn't have appeared in the Zheng family. Although the Zheng family is well-known in Liu County and even in the north, it is only a small role compared to other big merchants and imperial merchants. How could it be Someone used something like this to frame the Zheng family?

Xu Zhenrong couldn't figure it out, so he could only ask Gu Beizhi to stop for a while, he had to discuss it with someone.

"Stop it first, and I'll talk about it later when I come back." Xu Zhenrong asked Zheng Xing'an to accompany Gu Beizhi, and he hurried to discuss with Zheng Xing'an's second uncle.

After a while, Zheng Er and Xu Zhenrong came together, stared at the bottle cap a few times, and said to Gu Beizhi, "Master Gu, let's continue."

"Don't mess around!" Xu Zhenrong was about to go crazy, how could he not understand, how can ordinary people see this Beaulieu bottle!Even he just read it from a book.

Zheng Er was very calm, "Since it has been sent to Zheng's house, wouldn't it be a waste of the other party's efforts not to see the true face of Lushan? Only after seeing it will you know what to do."

He looked at Xu Zhenrong, "It's useless to dodge now, we can only see the tricks, and see if I, Mrs. Zheng, are better, or the opponent is better."

Xu Zhenrong took a deep breath, "Cheng, listen to you, Xiao Gu, tear it down, continue to tear it down!"

"Okay, my boss." Gu Beizhi sighed in his heart, what's the matter.

The complaints were fleeting, and he continued to study how to disassemble the bottle body. The bottle body is more complicated, but the outer layer is fine. As long as it is all smashed and knocked slowly, the problem is not too big.

But the core inside is very troublesome, because the bottle body has a thin mouth and a bulging belly, which means that the core inside can only be taken out if it is broken, otherwise it can only be stuck inside.

But the space inside is so small that it is impossible to use force. It is probably impossible to knock the core open with the help of a hammer. For a while, Gu Beizhi didn't think about how to remove the core inside.

We had to remove the outer layer first. If you look closely at the outer layer, there are some very shallow stitches. Gu Beizhi judged that it should be the same as the cover, and people knocked it open along these marks.

So he tapped slowly along the circle and circle of the line, carefully and evenly with each stroke. Sure enough, after a while, Gu Beizhi stood up the bottle and knocked a circle along the mouth of the bottle.

Then hold the neck of the bottle, press the lower end of the bottle with the other hand, twist and lift vigorously, and separate the neck and about one-fifth of the bottle body from the lower half.

Half of a finely carved dragon is exposed, the dragon's head is raised high, and its eyes are full of energy, as if it is confronting the tiger on the bottle cap.

The entire Beaulieu hovered around the shoulder and neck of the bottle, lying up and down. Although it didn't show the whole picture, it was shocking enough. It was a dark blue dragon with clearly carved scales on its body. A pair of dragon eyes were piercing. god.

Panlong's imposing manner is strong, compared with the roaring tiger above, it seems a bit more comfortable.

Gu Beizhi took a look at the distance between the outer layer and the inner layer of the bottle. It was only about two millimeters, but there was also a certain safety distance, so that he could rest assured to use a little more strength to knock the next round.

With the previous experience, it will be very fast to continue. It only took Gu Beizhi an hour to knock all the remaining outer porcelain.

All the Beaulieu bottles hidden inside are exposed, and the whole is bright yellow. Except for Beaulieu, which is navy blue on the body, there is also a circle of navy blue decorations on the bottom. The bottle cap is orange and black except for the tiger. The cover is Bright yellow, with a dark blue circle on the edge of the cover.

This kind of collocation doesn't seem like much at first glance, but the more you look at it, the more you will be attracted, and the color of bright yellow is rarely used by people. The yellow glazes used by the people are mostly light yellow and light yellow, and such a bright yellow is very rare.

However, this Beaulieu bottle itself is not for folk use.

The outside was knocked clean, but the inside made Gu Beizhi worry. There was no good way to push the inner core apart like the outer layer. It could only be smashed with a hammer and poured out. It is possible to smash the bottle.

Gu Beizhi told Xu Zhenrong and the three of them about this situation, and Xu Zhenrong decided not to smash the inside, just let it go, but Master Zheng Er asked Gu Beizhi to continue smashing.

The two quarreled again, and in the end it was Mr. Zheng Er who won. Gu Beizhi first chiseled a circle along the inner edge of the bottle mouth with a carving knife. He didn't hear the sound of the porcelain colliding, so he estimated the inner core and the vase. The inside fits tightly, but if you look closely at the inner edge, there are obviously some gaps.

He touched the blade of the carving knife and found some slippery substance attached to the carving knife. He asked Zheng Xing'an for a pot of hot water and filled the inner core. After a while, a bad smell wafted out.

Gu Beizhi is somewhat familiar with this stench. It is a special wax with excellent sealing performance and a low capacity point. When it melts, the stench evaporates.

Gu Beizhi waited for a while, then poured out the water inside, wiped off the water, and pressed along the inner ring, and the inner core moved slightly, indicating that there was also wax in the interlayer.

Looking inside against the sunlight, you can see the obvious tangent line. Gu Beizhi pried the inner edge of the bottle mouth with a carving knife. The wax was fully melted, and a piece of the inner core could be pried off without using force, and then taken out.

There are six pieces in total. After taking them all out, Gu Beizhi can flatten them into an inner core again. Looking at it now, it is just an ordinary to somewhat ugly little black bottle.

What a genius.

I am afraid that it will have to be tested many times before it can be put into the Beaulieu bottle perfectly.

Then Gu Beizhi was invited to another room to rest, Xu Zhenrong and the three of them discussed together what to do next.

Until Gu Beizhi left work, no one came to talk to him, but he still had to go to Liu's house tonight, so he could only find a servant outside to inform him.

Zheng Xing'an came over after a while, and directly gave him a bank note with a larger denomination, "Master Gu, I hope that you won't get any rumors about today's matter. This is a little kindness."

Gu Beizhi happily accepted it, "Don't worry Mr. Zheng, I don't want to cause trouble for myself. I came today just to take a look at the newly received paperweight for Mr. Zheng and chat."

"Yes, I got a new topaz galloping horse paperweight. Although it can't compare with the imperial horse paperweight, but the shape is very smooth, I like it very much." Zheng Xing'an picked up his words, "Thank you, Master Gu, for helping me to see the price. .”

"If there is nothing to do with his duty, Beizhi will leave first."

"Okay, hard work, Master Gu, go slowly."

Led by the servant, Gu Beizhi left Zheng's mansion quickly, and hurried back to Baoyixuan to put down the toolbox. Brother Xiao Ding stayed in the shop today to watch the shop, and told him to slow down when he saw him in a hurry.

Gu Beizhi was anxious, "Okay, Brother Ding, if the shopkeeper comes back later, please tell me, I saw a topaz galloping horse paperweight today, and the cost is 20 taels."

"Hey, I got it." Xiao Ding sent him away, closed the door, and Gu Beizhi went to Liu's Mansion with the newly released papers.

Liu Changqing was obsessed with doing the questions, and his mentality has calmed down a lot. In addition, Gu Beizhi is not a strict and rigid teacher. Even if he doesn't like counting, he gradually got into the door.

Against the sparse stars and the cold wind of the November night, Gu Beizhi walked very fast. Tonight's moonlight was dim, and the road could not be seen clearly. However, Gu Beizhi walked this road for more than half a year. I am familiar with it, and I can walk home smoothly without light.

He has long legs, and he can cover a long distance with one step, so he didn't notice that there was someone behind him who could keep up with him at first, but was slowly thrown far away.

Seeing that he could not catch up, the man was a little anxious, so he ran.

When Gu Beizhi heard the hurried footsteps, he turned his head and glanced. He felt that the figure of this running man was somewhat familiar, but not very familiar. He just felt that this man was a little strange.

After squinting his eyes, Gu Beizhi ignored him, but his pace quickened again. There were not many people on the road now, and after leaving the town, it was even more empty.

No matter what the man said, he ran away. No matter how fast Gu Beizhi walked, he would be overtaken, but Gu Beizhi was already prepared. When the man approached him, he was always on guard.

When he got close to Gu Beizhi, the man who ran over pulled out a dagger and stabbed at him. Seeing the dagger, Gu Beizhi could stand still and be stabbed by him. He took a step back and kicked hard.

He had long legs, the man didn't stab him but was kicked down by him, and the dagger in his hand was also kicked away by Gu Beizhi.

"It's you?" Gu Beizhi picked up the man, tore off his belt and tied him up.

Seeing how hard he was struggling, Gu Beizhi punched him twice in the ribs, which directly made him lose his ability to fight back, tied him up and dragged him to the side of the road, "Wang Ergou, shouldn't you be here?" Is the shrine closed?"

Wang Ergou planned the murder, and the village decided to lock him up in the ancestral hall. Except for working during the day, he was locked up tightly at night. It is not known how he escaped.

Gu Beizhi watched for a while under the not-so-bright moonlight, and found that Wang Ergou looked a little embarrassed now, he had lost a lot of weight, but his eyes were very dark, and his sunken cheeks made him even more mean and vicious.

"It's all because of you!" Wang Ergou didn't know what to say to him, and his mouth full of foul words was unbearable.

Gu Beizhi saw that he looked like a lunatic, so he didn't bother to talk to him, "When I go back, I will tell the village chief to keep you under strict supervision. As for now, just stay here and calm down."

After finishing speaking, he was thrown into the sunken ditch by the side of the road. The ditch by the side of the road had no water, so people would not be drowned, but it was difficult to climb up with bare feet without untying the rope.

Gu Beizhi planned to bring the village chief and the others to bring Wang Ergou back tomorrow morning. The current temperature would not freeze to death, but he just suffered a little. He felt that since Wang Ergou took the initiative to deliver it to his door, it would be too cheap not to embarrass him. him.

So when Wang Ergou fell into the ditch, he took a closer look, listened to Wang Ergou's angry swear words, made sure that he was all right, turned and left.

At the entrance of the village, Guan Zhou was still waiting, accompanied by Xia Tian, ​​Gu Beizhi sped up a little more, and when he stood in front of Guan Zhou, he was already out of breath. "Small boat."

Xia Tian handed the lantern to Gu Beizhi, "My lord, my lord, this slave will leave first."

"Go back, be careful on the road." Gu Beizhi said casually.

"Hey, I got it." Blessed, Xia Tian trotted back to Gu's house.

When Xia Tian was no longer in sight, Guan Zhou turned his head and glanced at Gu Beizhi, "Why are you so tired today?"

Gu Beizhi wondered that he could see it in such a weak light, "It's a bit tiring to go out to work during the day, but it's worth it. There will be enough money when the salary is paid next month, and I have received a reward."

"Then let's go back quickly so that you can rest early." Guan Zhou held his hand, wanting to lead him to walk faster.

Gu Beizhi didn't refuse, but he still walked slowly, "Did anything happen during the day today?"

This is their habit. On the way home at night, they would talk about what they did during the day, whether it was interesting or unhappy, or boring.

But after talking, you will feel that the other party has participated in your day, and the distance between each other will be closer.

Guan Zhou sighed, "Brother Shi took half a day off today, and I asked Brother Tian to boil the water. When Brother Shi came here in the afternoon, his face was full of displeasure. I asked him what's wrong and he didn't say anything."

"Maybe it's a family matter, it's not convenient to tell you, don't worry, if he wants to talk, he will tell you."

Guan Zhou suddenly raised his hand and approached the lantern, and he saw some wounds, "How did you do this?"

"I accidentally hurt it during the day. The carving knife is sharper. It's okay to scratch like this occasionally." Gu Beizhi didn't expect him to feel it when he touched it with his finger.

"Be careful next time!" Guan Zhou imitated Gu Beizhi's habit and pinched his face, "Did you hear that?"

Gu Beizhi's pinched mouth was deformed, "I heard it."

But he likes how Guan Zhou is now, lively and bold, instead of being scared like a frightened bird like he was at the beginning.

"Yeah." Guan Zhou let go of his cheeks and rubbed him, "Speaking of Brother Shi, I don't think it's his family's business. Brother Shi is quite open about family matters. Yes, what to say."

"Then what do you think is the reason?" Gu Beizhi led him to walk slowly.

Guan Zhou just felt that Brother Shi was not happy, and it seemed to be related to the pregnancy reaction he asked before, but it was just a hunch, and he couldn't say it specifically, "I just don't think it's something about his family, but I don't think so. What's going on out there."

"If Brother Shi doesn't plan to tell you, it means that he can solve this matter by himself, or he doesn't want to involve you, so don't think about it, and he will know when he tells you."

"You're right, then I'll ask him tomorrow." Guan Zhou gave up worrying about this matter, "Today Chongming told me that Erbao is smarter than Dabao, but his personality is not as outgoing as Dabao's, and he always accommodates Dabao progress."

Gu Beizhi knew about it a long time ago, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, "It's just that the two brothers are together, so it's good to learn something every day, don't need to emphasize the speed, they are still young, let's talk about it when they are older."

"You're right." Guan Zhou trusted Gu Beizhi in the child's study, as long as Gu Beizhi told him, he would be relieved.

They went home together. Today, more than half of the messy stones and wood in the yard have been cleaned up, and it looks much cleaner.

Guan Zhou waited for Gu Beizhi to take a bath, and took the trauma ointment to apply on him. Gu Beizhi stretched out his hand, let Guan Zhou apply the medicine, and occasionally compared his hands with him quietly.

The size of the human hand is about the same as the height. Gu Beizhi is much taller than Guan Zhou, and the palm is also longer than his. Guan Zhou's hand is placed on Gu Beizhi's, and it looks short and small, like a child. .

Recently, he often smears hand oil, leaving his palms with a scent of hand oil for a long time. It is the jasmine scent that Gu Beizhi bought recently. It has a light scent, and Guan Zhou likes it very much.

Gu Beizhi bent his fingers back, intertwined with Guan Zhou's fingers, and looked at it over and over for a while, "The calluses on my hands are a little soft, and they should disappear after a while."

Guan Zhou glanced at his hands, "It's indeed much smoother, but the calluses didn't fall off so quickly."

"It's okay, take good care of it, it will always be fine
