Chapter 154 An Unpleasant Encounter



Old Mrs. Gao was surprised. "Why would anyone buy that haunted house? Is that person mentally ill?"

Because the haunted house was just behind the General's Mansion, the most common thing they heard after arriving in the capital was the haunted house. They were very scared and strictly asked their children not to go to the back door.

Once, Mrs. Gao saw that the house was old but still very grand, so she was also moved.

She asked Gao Laoer to go to the Yahang store to inquire about the price, and then went to see it again.

The mother and son went in and came out terrified.

From then on, they didn't even dare to go through the back door.

"I don't know. I asked around and heard that he was an outsider from the countryside.

He must have not known the situation of the house, so he was deceived.

When the country folks come over, I think they’ll be scared to death.”

Such a picture emerged in Hao's mind, and then he started laughing.

Old Mrs. Gao's face turned cold and she glared at Mrs. Hao.

She always felt that the third son's wife was laughing at her in a roundabout way. After all, she was also a country girl and was scared to death last time.

"Okay! Why do you care so much about other people's affairs? Did you do it when you were asked to do it?

What are you having for lunch today?

I heard that the newly opened restaurant has delicious roast duck! The roast duck is wrapped in dough and is especially delicious.

Did you buy it? "

Gao Laosan's wife shook her head and said, "Mom, the business there is so good that you have to make an appointment in advance if you want to buy roast duck.

I waited in line there all morning but still couldn't buy anything.

I heard that a roast duck costs ten taels.

This is so expensive!

Or we can go talk to my sister-in-law. If she knew that my parents wanted to eat roast duck, she would definitely ask someone to buy it for them.

It’s more convenient for them to buy.”

When Grandma Gao and her family first came, Tang Liu ate with them.

Later, Tang Liu used the excuse that his eating habits were different from theirs, so he allocated a small kitchen to them and gave them money every month so that they could cook their own meals.

There is a cook in the small kitchen.

But Old Mrs. Gao is very stingy and is always afraid that others will take her money when they go out to buy vegetables.

So, the task of buying groceries fell on Gao Laosan's wife.

Although Old Mrs. Gao didn't have much money in these years, she ate, drank and dressed well.

She has become a lot rounder and her complexion has improved a lot, looking a bit like an old lady from a wealthy family.

However, his words and deeds were not presentable. Whenever there was a banquet in the capital, Tang Liu would not bring Old Lady Gao and the third wife of Gao Lao to attend.

Tang Liu was afraid that others would laugh at him for having a country mother-in-law.

Gao Tairan was also a person who cared about his reputation and knew what his mother was like, so he agreed to Tang Liu's approach.

However, in order to please Old Mrs. Gao, Gao Tairan also had to spend some of his own money.

Hearing this, Old Lady Gao pursed her lips.

She knew Tang Liu too well.

We can divide two courtyards for them to work in, give them a small kitchen, arrange servants to serve them, and give them monthly allowances.

This is already Tang Liu's limit.

Tang Liu would definitely be angry if he had to go to her just to eat roast duck.

"Forget it! I won't eat it. Go buy an old duck tomorrow and ask the cook to stew the duck meat."

Unable to eat roast duck, she settled for braised duck.

Gao Laosan's wife didn't expect that Grandma Gao was so cowardly that she didn't even dare to ask Tang Liu to buy a roast duck.

Think about the past in the countryside, when Old Lady Gao had the final say at home, any daughter-in-law who disobeyed would be beaten and scolded.

Now, Old Lady Gao is specifically bullying her.

Gao Laosan's wife suddenly missed Xie and Shi. If they were there, she would be the favored one.

well!

Gao Tairan has been annoyed recently. For some reason, Fu Hua suddenly turned his fire on him and found fault with him every now and then.

He hasn't dared to take any action recently and has been very quiet.

Tang Liu sent someone to inform Gao Tairan to stop by the newly opened restaurant and buy a roast duck.

After Gao Tairan finished his shift, he went to buy roast duck.

When he got off the carriage, he saw Gao Miao and a girl coming out of the restaurant carrying things.

Gao Tairan didn't dare to recognize him for a moment.

After repeated confirmation, he quickly walked up to Gao Miao and looked at him with surprise.

"Xiao Miao, have you come to the capital?"

Gao Miao looked at Gao Tairan calmly, "General Gao, we have something else to do. Goodbye!"

Gao Tairan saw him about to leave and quickly grabbed his arm.

"Xiao Miao, we haven't seen each other for so many years. Can you come in and sit for a while?"

Gao Miao pulled Gao Tairan's hand away, "I'm sorry! I'm not familiar with General Gao, so there's nothing to talk about."

Gao Tairan opened his mouth, "Xiao Miao..."

When Gao Zhi saw Gao Tairan, he remembered his dream and that despicable, shameless, ruthless and ungrateful man.

"General Gao, it's not appropriate for you to behave like this in such a crowded place. If your wife knew about this, she would think we were trying to get close to the general.

But the general knows that we have nothing to do with him.

General, we don't want to suffer any more unnecessary disasters. You must also want to have some peace and quiet when you return home.

Don't get entangled, be decent!

Good for each other.

What needs to be said was made clear hundreds of years ago.

As for the relationship, it was clearly severed.

Why bother to annoy others? "

Gao Zhi didn't give Gao Miao any face and just pulled him away.

Gao Tairan did not stop them again. Instead, he called the guard next to him over and whispered a few words in his ear, and the guard hurried away.

Gao Tairan got on the carriage.

Ask people to buy roast duck with the sign of General’s Mansion.

He didn't expect Gao Miao to come to the capital so soon. What about Xie?

Want to be together?

Where do they live now?

Gao Tairan suddenly felt a desire in his heart and wanted to meet Xie and have a good chat with Xie and Gao Miao.

Ever since he learned about Gao Miao's situation, Gao Tairan couldn't help but think of Xie's mother and son often.

He couldn't help but think that if the husband and wife were in harmony, the father was loving and the son was filial, then Gao Miao would be his pride.

If his colleagues in the court knew that Gao Miao was his son, they would look at him with envy.

Gao Miao and Gao Zhi returned to Prince Zhan's mansion carrying the roast duck.

They just went to see Uncle Hong, and it looks like the home renovation will be completed in another half month.

Gao Miao gave some extra money to Hong Bo and asked him to help buy furniture.

In addition, he had received the emperor's edict and reward sent to Lao Zhang Village.

He has written home.

Shi Lin personally sent the letter back to Lao Zhuang Village and asked Shi Lin to bring Xie to the capital.

How to arrange things at home.

Gao Zhi also wrote a letter, explaining everything to Xie in detail.

The fields and workshops at home.

Gao Zhi asked Xie to be handed over to Gao Shan and his wife, and the shop would be handed over to Mr. Yan to arrange for people to take care of it.

They only take a cut of the profits.

As for the storybook!

Gao Zhi has already found someone, who is Gao Miao's classmate and also a scholar.

He has a rich imagination, great talent, and comes from a relatively poor family.

Give the script to him and everyone will win.

There are a lot of people queuing up to buy roast duck. Even if there is a General’s Mansion sign, you still have to queue up.

The owner of this restaurant has a bad temper.

No matter who you are, you have to queue!

While Gao Tairan was waiting for someone to buy roast duck, the guards who were sent to follow Gao Miao and the others came back.
