Chapter 191 Entering Beijing
Gu Mingda was stunned when he heard this.
"Did he join later?" Gu Mingda guessed.
However, Sun Jiaxing always felt uneasy and said, "I can't tell clearly. Should I ask others again?"
Mrs. Gu said directly: "You are overthinking. Whether you were there from the beginning or joined later, the gentlemen who contributed the money must know better than anyone else."
When Sun Jiaxing heard this, he immediately stopped thinking and said: "Aunt, you are rich in experience. You are right. The person who paid the money should remember it better than anyone else. After all, this person is a real sixty taels of silver. They must not I gave it up in vain."
Everyone stopped thinking about it. Gu Mingda continued to accompany Xie Xingchuan on the board of the boat, while Mrs. Gu and others walked back.
When Zhang Yunniang returned to the room, she happened to hear laughter and laughter coming from the room.
Niu Niu laughed so hard that she kept asking Brother Shen: "Brother Shen, is it true? Are there really snow-white deers in the capital? And there are also **** and white bears?"
Brother Shen said: "Of course, I will lie to you. When I get to the capital, I will take you to see it."
Seeing that her daughter was in a good mood, Zhang Yuniang gradually relaxed.
Gu Zhao, on the other hand, when he heard this, he immediately plunged in like an arrow from a string.
"Brother Shen, you talk to me too, and I want to listen too!" Gu Zhao said impatiently.
Even Mrs. Gu sneaked into the room pretending to be unintentional, her ears perked up, and she almost didn't want to take dictation written on her face.
Zhang Yunniang shook her head helplessly, but she and Liu Xiaoru also entered the room and listened.
The boat sailed smoothly and arrived at Tongzhou Pier without any hindrance.
Some of the young men who followed Wang He got off the boat at the midway pier, and now half of them are determined to make a fortune with Wang He.
Although Sun Jiaxing believed Wang He's identity, he still had a knot in his heart. Gu Mingda saw his thoughts, so after deliberately approaching him several times, he had some ideas.
"This man has calluses on his tiger's mouth. He should be a martial arts practitioner all year round." Gu Mingda said.
Sun Jiaxing's heart rose to his throat when he heard this.
Gu Mingda said: "According to this man's own statement, he is from Guanglin Prefecture. His family was well off when he was young. His family sent him to practice martial arts. However, he met a strong man and his family fell into decline. He had no choice but to go to Beijing to seek refuge with his relatives."
"He does have a Guanglinfu accent, and he knows a lot about the customs and customs of Guanglinfu in detail."
Sun Jiaxing was completely relieved after hearing this. He had just experienced the water bandit incident. Sun Jiaxing had narrowly escaped death and would think too much when encountering the slightest abnormality.
"Brother Gu, I am a villain. Fortunately, I never said anything about this." Sun Jiaxing said with emotion.
Gu Mingda said comfortingly: "Be careful with the Wannian Ship. There is nothing wrong with you thinking so. If this person has a clean family background, it can actually be used."
"Brother Gu, what do you mean by this?" Sun Jiaxing asked.
Gu Mingda explained: "Although this son is from the market, he behaves in a very orderly manner and knows the rules very well. He is from the same hometown as us, so he will naturally be closer to us. If there is any inconvenience when he comes to the capital in the future, You can leave it to him."
After hearing this, Sun Jiaxing looked thoughtful and said, "What Brother Gu said is quite reasonable."
The Sun family is a local prominent family with little roots in the capital. Wang He is in the market and is well-informed and can sell well in advance. If he gets any useful information in the future, he will naturally tell them as soon as possible.
What they only need to pay is to provide Wang He with a little protection. Wang He intends to behave in the capital, and they are not afraid that Wang He will hold him back.
If this person behaves improperly, they are just fellow villagers anyway, so it would be easy to just abandon Wanghe.
By the time they got off the boat, Wang He and his brothers were already actively helping the two families move their luggage.
Wang He was smart and well-spoken. After talking to Mrs. Gu for a while, she made the old lady happy. "As soon as I saw you, aunt, I felt friendly to you. I didn't understand you before, but now I understand that you are very much like my mother." Wang He said sincerely.
Mrs. Gu hurriedly said: "You look like you are only in your early twenties. How old is your mother? Forty at most. I am almost sixty. How can I be like her?"
Wang He was immediately surprised and said: "Auntie, I thought you were only forty when I looked at you. Who could tell that you are almost sixty?"
Mrs. Gu was even more happy when she heard this. She just found Wang He very pleasing to the eye. After learning that Wang He's parents were both dead, she couldn't help but feel a little more pity for him, and her expression became more loving.
Tongzhou was only half a day's drive from the capital, so the Gu and Sun families rented a carriage and entered the city.
After Mrs. Gu got on the carriage, she couldn't help but look out and said to her family, "This young man has a sweet mouth. He will definitely earn a lot of money in the future in Beijing."
Zhang Yunniang said: "Mom likes him. Please invite him to your house for dinner more often in the future. You can also recognize him as a godson."
Mrs. Gu was instantly moved when she heard this, but she quickly said: "Forget it, getting married is a big deal, but you still have to think about it again."
The old lady has a lot of experience, so she can naturally tell that the other party is so attentive because of the face of Gu Mingda and Sun Jiaxing, and does not really like her as an old lady.
Niuniu tilted her head, looking like she was about to speak but was hesitant.
Zhang Yunniang asked: "Good boy, what do you want to say?"
Niuniu didn't like hiding something from Zhang Yunniang, so she leaned into her mother's ear and whispered: "Mom, that's obviously a sister, why do you all say she's a young man?"
Zhang Yuniang was shocked when she heard this.
She recalled carefully that Wang He seemed to be no different from a man except for being shorter in stature, appearance and voice.
"Is this true?" Zhang Yunniang asked.
Niu Niu nodded vigorously and said, "Niu Niu will not be mistaken."
Mrs. Gu on the side asked: "What are you mother and daughter muttering about? Tell me."
Gu Zhao also looked at his mother and sister with curiosity.
Niuniu was about to speak, but was stopped by Zhang Yunniang.
"Mom, it's nothing, these are just childish words." Zhang Yunniang said.
Zhang Yuniang thought that if Wang He was really a girl and she was walking around as a man, she must have had some last resort difficulties. Neither Mrs. Gu nor Gu Zhao were particularly tight-lipped people, so they might cause trouble if they told her rashly.
Mrs. Gu didn't ask any further questions. She opened the curtain of the carriage and looked out.
As the gateway to the capital, Tongzhou is always particularly lively whenever ships dock. Nowadays, there are so many people coming and going on the streets.
Mrs. Gu felt that her eyes were not enough. She didn't rest for a long time, so she opened the curtain along the road and looked out, all the way to the outside of the capital city.
The carriage slowly stopped.
The coachman said: "Old lady, madam, young master and lady, wait a moment. I don't know what day it is today. The city gate is packed with people. I guess there will be a queue for a while."
As soon as the coachman finished speaking, a very arrogant voice suddenly came from behind.
"Get out of the way, everyone, get out of the way, Duke Xian's carriage is coming, everyone, get out of the way!"
