Chapter 504: Alley

While taking Xueying, Gu Xiang went straight to the back door of the Fan family, and grabbed the soldiers of the Imperial City Office who were always following Li Sheng and entrusted a few words, asking him to go back and inform Li Sheng, and sent someone to support him quickly. By the way, he saw how many guests in the Fan family were missing today, but if they all returned home safely.

"It's okay for us to chase each other?"

Xueying smiled and said nothing, but her steps kept not stopping. Gu Xiang realized that the maid in her family was not reckless at all. Whenever she smelled a trace of danger, she would definitely choose to avoid it first. It cannot be said how timid he is, but she is definitely a hundred times more cautious than Gu Xiang himself.

While talking, the two of them left the back door.

It was already past noon, and the sun was shining outside the door, and the warm wind was warm, and the cars were still like flowing water, horses were like dragons, bustling and lively, without any breath of soldiers.

Gu Xiang paused, and his expression became a little subtle.

It turns out that the people in the capital are so stubborn that they are almost crazy just now, with crossbows flying around and crying. Outside, even the vendors carrying baskets walking around the streets and alleys are unwilling to hide?

Xueying smiled and said, "It should be because of this house... When we came, I found that this place was quite wonderful and it was a very good house."

She saved up money to buy someone’s old house again so that she could change her home.

When the Fan family's old house was built, some mechanisms were arranged, and the sounds in the park were difficult to be heard. These characteristics alone showed the unusualness of the Fan family's old house.

Gu Xiang blinked, and also remembered some of the things written in Princess Changrong's essays, and couldn't help laughing.

The princess mentioned the Fan family’s old house in her gossip, saying that it was the princess who was in charge of the reconstruction. During the reconstruction, her soul of the second generation burst out wildly and she had some wonderful ideas. The people around her were just disregarding and were all satisfied.

After the completion of the building, I realized that she had spent much effort and a lot of money to arrange the institutions that were really hard to use.

This house was built in the capital.

What can she use this house to do?

Could it be that you train troops and play horse-riding and fighting games every day?

Just thinking this way, it would be better to build a farm in the suburbs or to directly occupy a mountain to build a hunting ground, and it would cost less.

She had thought about it, but she could use this place as a storefront and run a lively business.

The princess even thought that she made portraits of the current ministers, as well as palace officials and queens, pasted them on targets, or made them into dolls, built a tree hole house, and venting space, so that guests could enjoy the occasional emperor fun.

But as soon as this idea came out, she just muttered a few words after dinner, but didn't say so straightforwardly, and did not mention the official family and the queen. The subordinates around her were so scared that their faces turned pale, and there were still a few who were quietly arranging their family's retreat.

Princess Evergreen: "The official didn't say anything after hearing this, just gave me a blank look. What do you think?"

Gu Xiang: "..."

The princess' age before she was wearing the book, at least her mental age, might be younger than her, otherwise these wonderful ideas would never come up.

He also experienced the agile thinking of Princess Changrong. Later, Princess gave the house to Fan Zhenghong and asked him to settle down. He accepted it happily and did not dare to refuse.

Gu Xiang had previously wondered how brave these people had to be to take such a big attack in the capital.

In fact, no one dared to doubt the identities of the "Dali Temple Officials" at the beginning, and this is also the most important reason.

Who would have thought that in the capital, some people dared to pretend to be an official and attack a wealthy businessman like the Fan family? They even chose the old lady's birthday party, when the most people in the aristocratic families were.

Now, I don’t know how many spies the Fan family has hidden, so I’m afraid that even the foundation has been completely cleared.

Gu Xiang smiled: "You have to find a safe place to settle what Princess Evergreen has left behind."

Just a few gossips, Gu Xiang followed Xueying without stopping. After a little look, he looked at each other and then went straight toward Huaibei Lane to the west.

After changing to an ordinary birthday party, the guests left halfway. If it weren't for something important, it would indeed seem a bit rude.

Today's Fan family is different.

At that time, the Fan family obviously had to make a fuss about brothers, and many guests who did not want to get involved naturally had to leave.

The Fan family is unlikely to stay guests. As Gu Xiang observed, there were at least a dozen men, women, young and old who walked halfway through the road.

There are so many people, you can't go out and transport one away.

Also, just now, those fake Dali Temple officials came in and met guests on the way when they entered the park, and later a few people who were clamoring were taken away, and there were almost a dozen people.

After all the calculations, there were 20 or 30.

In such a short time, so many people were not ordinary people. They could not get a carriage, put everyone in, and then left the city lightly.

The capital is not the small county towns outside. The Imperial City Bureau is strict. Not to mention the person who works as a servant in the Dali Temple, even if His Majesty’s carriage has to pass through the city gate, it must be checked.

When the city gate was closed, the emperor could at least not leave.

Compared with the main street outside, as soon as we enter Huaibei Lane, even the sun in the sky looks a little darker, the wind stops, and the sound seems to stop.

There were a row of big banyan trees planted in the alley, with lush branches and leaves. Gu Xiang looked at it and knew that the old houses in the box were rented for the inns that the people in the capital lived, and there were notices posted by the shops and houses on the wall.

The house seemed to be of size, and there were a lot of miscellaneous items in the alley, which looked very messy at first glance. As soon as Gu Xiang and Xueying came in, they saw a middle-aged woman squatting in front of the second wooden door and rubbing her clothes. Gu Xiang paused and walked over and asked with a smile: "This lady, can you ask if some people wearing silk have entered the alley just now."

The woman looked up at her, shook her head, and said coldly: "There are no brothels in our place, so how can so many live-action guests come to stroll?"

After saying that, she lowered her head and rubbed her clothes, looking very busy.

Gu Xiang chuckled: "This lady, why don't I teach you how to dress a woman from a real poor family? You are not wrong with your clothes, it should be worn by ordinary women. But when you wear such clothes, you have to apply your face, neck, and hands. Don't be so white. And your teeth are better to apply them a little black."

It is a woman from a wealthy place like a wealthy place in the capital. The difference between women from ordinary people and those from a wealthy family in officials is also visible to the naked eye and is very obvious.

"Also, you use too much effort to wash clothes. If your daughter-in-law of a really poor family uses too much effort to wash clothes, and if you are too rude, you may be beaten by your mother-in-law and husband, and they will not waste it like this."

"The water for washing clothes should not be used to use spring water in the mountains. Usually people can't even afford to drink it, so how can they be used to wash clothes?"
