Chapter 117: The Main Mansion of Qingyuan County

The Qingyuan County Lord's Mansion is not big. In the depths of the alleys in Chongdefang, there is a three-in-one house. Although Chang'an City is worth every inch, it is indeed too low-key for the identity of a prince's daughter, even many wealthy families are not as good as those of many wealthy families.

The carriage could not enter the main entrance, and the carriage was around the back door. Gu Zuo followed the county lord Qingyuan and Jin Gongfeng into the door. There was a courtyard yard in the middle. There was a square pool. A five or six-year-old child was squatting by the pool with great concentration, looking at the red carp in the pool.

The Lord of Qingyuan County said softly: "Ye..."

After calling twice, the child realized. When he looked up, he quickly got up and rubbed his hands nervously: "Sister, I'm either lazy or not studying, or I'll come out to have a small answer... I'll go back to the room..." As he said that, Saya ran back.

The Lord of Qingyuan called him back: "I won't read it today, come here to see the guests."

The child turned around, lowered his head and saluted, "I have met Mr. Jin, and this gentleman."

The county lord Qingyuan said: "This is not your husband, it is your chief secretary... It's not wrong to call him sir."

The child blinked his eyes and looked confused. He stood in front of Gu Zuo and looked up, only as high as his waist.

Gu Zuo bowed: "Gu Zuo, the chief of the Southern Wu Prefecture, pay a visit to the governor."

The child was still a little confused. The county lord of Qingyuan reminded him: "Yen, you are not only Duke of Wu, but also the governor of Southern Wuzhou. This Chief Gu is taking charge of Southern Wuzhou for you. This time I am here to see you."

The child seemed to remember something, his face suddenly pale, and he cried, holding the legs of the county lord Qingyuan and said, "I don't want to go to the Ten King's House, sister, what did I do wrong? My sister told me, I'll change, can't I change it? Woo... I'm working hard to study, I'm obedient, I'm filial to my father and mother, don't let me go to the Ten King's House, Woo... Don't drive me away..."

The eyes of the county lord Qingyuan immediately turned red. He bent down and hugged the child, comforting him hard: "I didn't drive you away, nor did I ask you to go to the Ten Kings' House. Gu Changshi came by himself, not sent by the emperor's grandfather. Be good, be good, stop crying, be good..."

Gu Zuo was stunned for a long time and looked at the Jin Gong beside him. Jin Gong sighed slightly and shook his head.

After the Qingyuan County Lord led the child to the inner house, Jin Gongfeng said to Gu Zuo: "This is Duke of Wu, famous and the eldest son of King Shou and Concubine Wei. The rules of the Tian family, the child must go to the Baisun Courtyard if he is the queen, and he can... King Shou and the princess couldn't bear it, so he sent the child to the county lord for foster care, hoping not to... The superiors were thinking about it, but forgetting it was the best. Although the child was young, he was very smart and understood many things. If you worship him as an official, he thought he was going to the Baisun Courtyard... that was really not a place for people."

Gu Zuo had heard some stories about the Ten Kings House and Baisun Courtyard. After listening to Jin Chongfeng's explanation, he felt compassionate and looked at the inner house for a long time without saying a word.

Strictly speaking, Jin Gong is not the offering of the county lord, nor is it the offering of the Shou Prince's Mansion. It should be considered a offering of the Wei family. He was invited by Concubine Wei to protect Qingyuan County Lord, and there was only one offering of him in the county lord's mansion. There were not many people in the county lord's mansion, and everything was to protect Li Zi from being missed by the current emperor. No matter whether he performed well or badly, as long as he was missed, he might be awarded the title of king. Therefore, the fewer people in the county lord's mansion, the better. There were only eight people including Jin Gong.

Except for the county lord himself, Duke Li Yuan of Wu and Jin Gong, there was only one nanny, two maids and two servants, and there was not even a housekeeper. Jin Gong Gong was also a housekeeper.

Although the outer courtyard is not big, the house is enough. Gu Zuo is not a picky person, so he found a room to live in.

Throughout the afternoon, Jin Chongfeng and Gu Zuo said goodbye to each other. After Jin Chongfeng entered the capital that year, he met the prince with Mr. He’s book of recommendation. Mr. He once taught at the East Palace and served as the prince’s teacher. Jin Chongfeng thought he would receive preferential treatment from the prince, but he didn’t even see him. After giving him ten-minded gifts, he was just sent.

Jin Gongfeng smiled bitterly: "It was also Jin who was stupid. The old man was forced to enter the Tao. How could the prince use me? I went to the door, just asking for trouble."

Fortunately, Jin Gong was a monk in the late stage of foundation building and had no worries about food everywhere. He traveled among several wealthy families for three years. When he broke through the Jindan of the Realm, he finally climbed to the lintel of the Wei family. At that time, the Lord of Qingyuan County lived in Kaifu, and Concubine Wei invited him to come here to take charge.

After saying that, Jin Gongfeng sighed, "I still remember that you and I said goodbye that day. Jin said that after I settled my feet in Chang'an, I would invite you to Beijing. I am ashamed that it is not easy to live in Chang'an. Fortunately, Xiao Gu, you have made a fortune in the world. Compared with you, Jin feels extremely ashamed."

Gu Zuo quickly comforted him and pondered: "I don't know how much of the monthly salary of the gold offering?"

Jin Gongfeng said: "The Wei family is quite generous, and I have a monthly salary of 30 stagnant here."

It is indeed generous. A golden elixir worshiper is generally around twenty cents outside. The Wei family is worthy of food and accommodation. It is considered benevolence and righteous. Such treatment is even twice as high as that of Southern Wuzhou. Of course, the golden elixirs in Southern Wuzhou do not rely on salary to live, which is incomparable.

Gu Zuo thought for a while and said, "If the worship is not going well in Chang'an, why not follow me to Nan Wuzhou? I dare not say anything else, six hundred trump cards a year can be guaranteed."

The income has nearly doubled, and Jin Gong was hesitant and looked at Gu Zuo and said, "Xiao Gu, you are really growing now."

Gu Zuo smiled and said, "It's just a lucky person."

Jin Chongfeng looked at the red carp swimming in the pond in the courtyard, and after a long time, he said, "After speaking, I know Xiao Gu's kindness. If you really can't make it, you will definitely go to Southern Wuzhou to join you."

That night, the Lord of Qingyuan County held a banquet at the back house and welcomed Gu Zuo. Four cases were placed in the hall. The top was her and Li Yan, and the bottom was Jin Chongfeng and Gu Zuo. There were no one else.

During the meal, Gu Zuo talked about the scenery of Nanzhao and told the battle of beast tide. The two royal families were completely addicted to it without blinking. The county lord Qingyuan looked at Gu Zuo with a smile in his eyes. Although Li Yuan did not dare to speak, he still timidly greeted Gu Zuo with a glass of wine with Qingyuan's encouragement.

Early the next morning, Jin Chongfeng accompanied the Lord of Qingyuan to the Shouwang Mansion to pay tribute, while Li Yan was staying in the study and studying. The Lord of Qingyuan invited him an old master, and he was not very famous. Gu Zuo had no impression at all after hearing the name.

After changing into a Taoist robe that he had never worn before, he went out, and following the address he had inquired in advance, he walked through the streets and alleys, and came to Zhuque Street. He turned south along Zhuque Street. The Chongxuan Bureau was west of the road, covering the entire Chongyefang.

Looking at the tall palace in front of him that was no less majestic than the palace city, Gu Zuo stopped for a moment, took a deep breath, and stepped forward.

After hearing from Taoist Master Lingyuan, the main door of Chongxuan Bureau was almost never opened. Gu Zuo came to the side door, held the copper ring on the door, and knocked heavily.
