Chapter 4 Concubine Li
Li Gou'er had money in her hands and originally wanted to shop a lot, but was stopped by Zhu Zhengguo. The reason was very simple. They only had two people, and they brought too many things. It was dark and the city gate was about to close. It would definitely attract the attention of the soldiers guarding the city. Once they were caught, they had dozens of money on their bodies. How to explain such a large amount of money?
Li Gou'er was ordered to give up her original plan and simply bought some things, three kilograms of pork, a dou of rice (14 or 15 kilograms), and a few pairs of traditional Chinese medicine to nourish her body. Then, and Zhu Zhengguo hurried to the nearest city gate exit.
It has been about half an hour since the robbery.
The two of them came to Nancheng and turned a corner. They immediately saw the tall city wall and the gate to leave the city. However, Zhu Zhengguo, who was walking in front, returned immediately and grabbed Li Gou'er. The two of them leaned tightly against the wall at the corner. Zhu Zhengguo bent and poked his head out to look at the other side of the city gate. He immediately shrank back. The expression on his face was already heavy, and he was even more nervous.
"Brother Zhu, what's wrong?"
Li Gou'er was shocked by Zhu Zhengguo's actions, and her face suddenly became nervous.
Zhu Zhengguo smiled bitterly and said, "What we did seems to have been discovered and was stabbed to the government."
"It's impossible. How long does it take to do the government's work efficiency so quickly?"
Li Gou'er was a little disbelief. She walked over Zhu Zhengguo and poked her head out to look at the city gate. When she saw that the gate of Nancheng had been closed, only a few small doors were still open on both sides. A man holding sticks stood around, and the person in the head had a large patch of purple blue around his nose and anger. He walked back and forth there, carefully watching everyone entering and leaving.
Li Gou'er recognized this person at a glance. He was one of the two followers of the playboy.
Li Gou'er looked at Zhu Zhengguo and smiled bitterly: "It seems that the person we snatched has a very unusual identity!"
Zhu Zhengguo's face was tense, trying to calm himself down and thinking about countermeasures.
At this time, a dense sound of footsteps came from afar. The two of them hurriedly looked at several strong horses, and dozens of servants holding sticks followed behind them. The leader of the horse rider had a white cloth wrapped around his head. Isn't it the beaten playboy?
Li Gou'er's brain numbness and said in a trembling voice: "It's over, it's all over."
"Don't panic." Zhu Zhengguo's face was also a little pale, but after all, he had served as a soldier and killed people, so he would not be as unbearable as Li Gou'er. He turned his head and looked around and found that the place where he was hiding was a restaurant, so he pulled Li Gou'er and strode in.
The restaurant is brightly lit, and it is now 3:00. It’s time to eat, but the business in the restaurant is still good. The more than 20 tables on the first floor are almost all full, with the crowds and quite lively.
A waiter came up and looked at them. Seeing that they were dressed in torn clothes and were dirty all over, the waiter's expression suddenly collapsed, and he said with a cold face: "Two, business is right now. If you want to have a meal, please come here later."
The store owners naturally hate this kind of person who asks for food. They are inevitably harsh words, but they won’t do too much. After all, they are not afraid of wearing shoes with barefoot, so they offend them. They sit at the door of the store, should they sit in this business? Even if they ask for help from the government, they still have to pay, why bother!
Seeing that the waiter in the shop saw the person lowering, Li Gouer was furious, but at this moment it was not the time to make noise, so she had to grit her teeth and hold back the anger, take out a piece of silver, three or four cents, weighed it in her hand, raised her head and said, "Is there any other seat on the second floor?"
Seeing the money in Li Gou'er's hand, the waiter's face changed quickly. He immediately smiled, bent over, apologized repeatedly, and then moved away from his body and asked, "There is a seat, of course, there are seats. Please go upstairs, two nobles, please go upstairs."
"If you have any good food and drinks, you're looking for me if you don't have enough money."
Li Gou'er snorted, threw the broken silver to him, and walked up the stairs to the second floor.
The waiter said it was four cents of silver and about five hundred cents of copper coins, which was enough for two people to eat and drink.
The two of them sat down on the second floor and looked down at the city gate along the corridor without windows. The playboy had already arrived at the city gate. After dismounting, they shouted loudly. The servants were all timid and did not find anyone. The master was furious and did not dare to come forward to talk. The playboy was obviously extremely dissatisfied with this situation and roared and cursed on the spot. The gatekeepers standing around obviously knew the identity of this person. Even if such a violation of discipline, no one dared to come forward to stop it.
The food was not cooked and the wine arrived first. Li Gou'er came to this world and had never drunk wine. She picked up the wine glass and took a sip. It was a bit bitter, but the wine tasted bad and was not delicious at all.
Li Gou'er looked at the playboy's fingers at the city gate, showing off his might, put down his wine glass with hatred, and said angrily: "What is this turtle lamb? Could it be that this capital was opened by his family? Is it because of his door? Is it so arrogant that no one will take care of it?"
Zhu Zhengguo shook his head and said, "The capital is the foundation of the dynasty, the place where high-ranking officials and nobles gather. There are so many arrogant and domineering people, so what's there to make a fuss about?"
Li Gou'er said: "The capital city is not this exit. When we go out from another place, can they still use the army to surround the entire city?"
"They really cannot mobilize the defending soldiers, but except for the southern city gates, the other three city gates will be closed on time at the four hour of You. Even here will be closed in half an hour."
Zhu Zhengguo used to be a soldier guarding the gate, so he was quite familiar with the time when the city gate was closed.
Li Gou'er sighed and said, "Wouldn't you sit back and wait for death?"
"Dog, don't worry too much. The capital is so big. At worst, we can find a place to stay for one night. When Tianming is thinking of a solution, they can block the exit of the city gate at most, but they will never dare to search in the city."
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Zhu Zhengguo had already calmed down.
Li Gou'er nodded. After Zhu Zhengguo said this, his nervous mind also felt a little relieved.
Two meat and three vegetables were brought up. Li Gou'er and Zhu Zhengguo had eaten some things before shopping and were not hungry at all, so they were just drinking wine and were very silent.
Li Gou'er took a random look around, but found a yellow brocade sticking on the wall not far away, with something on it. Now it's nothing happened. Li Gou'er walked up to her and looked carefully.
The text in this world is somewhat different from the traditional Chinese characters in the world he used to be, but it is not very different. After reading it for a long time, Li Gou'er barely understood what was written on it.
The general meaning is that the current imperial concubine Li is born in a humble background and is from Lijia Village, Linhuai County, Qizhou, Henan Province. Now she is rich and her relatives are separated. She often hates this. She always misses her relatives and can't help but she burst into tears. She gets the mercy of the emperor and passes on all directions to find her lost relatives. If you see this article, you can quickly go to Fengjing to recognize each other.
Looking at the yellow Jinbu, Li Gou'er stood there in a daze, and couldn't help but think of the family past that his father mentioned many times.
Our Li family is from Lijia Village, Linhuai County, Qizhou, Henan Province. We have been working on farming for generations and have never produced any great people. Although we are not a wealthy family, we have hundreds of acres of land in our family. The family does not have to worry about food and drink. We have lived through hundreds of years of peace and stability.
By the generation of your great-grandfather, taxes began to become heavier and more good people, and natural disasters continued. The land at home was either voluntarily or forced to sell it one by one. When your grandfather died, the family had no money and could only sell the last twenty acres of land for burial.
After your grandfather died, there were seven brothers and sisters in the family. I was the third one. I had my elder sister and brother, and younger brothers and younger sisters. Among them, my elder sister was two years older than me and looked beautiful. She was a famous beauty in the entire Lijia Village. When she was fifteen years old, she was taken away by the government and never met again, and she didn't know life and death.
