Chapter 218: Idiots do stupid things!
Agou was stunned: "So many? Do you have a recipe? If there is a detailed recipe, I will go buy some tomorrow and try to make it."
"Yes! I memorized it all! I'll write it down for you!"
Gu Tang's eyes lit up and he ran outside quickly, all the way to the main room.
The pen, ink, paper and inkstone were still in the main room. He picked up the rabbit-hair brush and began to write quickly!
Although he remembered it, it had been a long time since then. Gu Tang recorded it while recalling it, and he made corrections on more than a dozen pages.
By the time she finished writing, Agou's shredded chicken noodles were also ready.
He filled a bowl and brought it to the main room, asking Gu Tang to eat first while he sorted out the papers.
Gu Tang's calligraphy is so ugly that one can barely make out what the characters are, and some of them are blurred out.
Agou looked at her handwriting without saying anything. Just now, when she was recording the accounts for gold and silver, he had noticed that her handwriting was not very good.
Picking up the rabbit-hair brush on the table, Agou re-copied the food recipes written by Gu Tang.
Gu Tang took a look and said nothing, just focusing on eating the noodles. He was really hungry.
There was not much noodles in the bowl. Gu Tang finished it in a few bites and drank the noodle soup. He still felt that his stomach was still a little full.
She glared at Ah Gou and said, "Why don't you serve more? Any more?"
"It's too late. You have to go to bed after dinner. It's not good to eat too much before going to bed. If you want to eat, I'll make it for you tomorrow?"
This was for her own good, and Gu Tang couldn't go against him.
I put down the bowl and walked over to watch him copy.
Agou's handwriting is very beautiful, quite elegant, both strong and soft, and free and elegant.
On the rice paper next to him were the words written by Gu Tang. The comparison between the two made Gu Tang's words look so terrible!
Gu Tang twitched his lips and couldn't help asking, "Are all of you ghost messengers so versatile?"
Even the calligraphy is so beautiful!
Agou paused, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes. After a moment of silence, he shook his head and said, "I don't remember when I learned to write, but I guess it was before I became a ghost messenger."
"Now I am more and more curious about who you were before you became a ghost messenger. Are you curious yourself?"
"Not curious." Agou said firmly without any hesitation.
Gu Tang was stunned: "If a person loses his memory, he will try to find the memory of the past. Why is it different for you?"
"Because I gave it up voluntarily." Having said this, Agou stopped.
After hesitating for a while, he told Gu Tang something.
"If you want to be a ghost messenger, you have to go through the underworld's assessment. Once you meet the underworld's admission requirements, the underworld will let you make the final choice.
One is to become a ghost catcher and forget your past life, the other is to choose to quit because you cannot let go of your past life.
Now that I have become a ghost messenger, I must have made a good choice. Since I have made a good choice, I should not think about the past anymore. "
Gu Tang disagreed with this statement: "After becoming a ghost messenger, can't I resign and leave my position?"
It’s the first time for everyone to be a ghost catcher. What if after working for a while, someone doesn’t like it anymore? Can’t they just change jobs and start over?
Agou was stunned immediately.
He had never thought about this question.
Resign and step down?
The thought had never occurred to him.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Gu Tang thought that the underworld didn't allow ghost officials to resign, and curled his lips in dissatisfaction: "So, the ghost officials in the underworld are really a pit! Fortunately, you kicked me into the 'reincarnation pond', otherwise I might have been so impulsive that I took the exam to be a ghost official."
When Agou heard Gu Tang mention the reincarnation pond, he was immediately shocked!
In order to gain merit, the soul from another world arbitrarily detained the targets of other soul catchers, which led to daily fights between him and the soul catchers of the underworld during that period.
It was a coincidence that day. The two were fighting happily, and Gu Tang happened to pass by. The soul from another world took the opportunity to kick out, and hit Gu Tang, kicking her into the reincarnation pool.
Although strictly speaking it has nothing to do with me.
But he couldn't help it because Gu Tang had been taking his anger out on him before. If he brought up the matter again, he might make people angry again, and he would be the one to suffer.
Sure enough, some things are fine if you don't think about them, but once you think about them, you will be very angry.
Especially, the Agou in front of him was the object possessed by the soul from another world, and Gu Tang became angry again.
She glared at him fiercely, then turned and walked out.
Agou followed a few steps behind and asked cautiously: "Where are you going?"
"Where do you think I should go? Where can I go if I don't go to bed at this late hour?"
Gu Tang stomped heavily on the ground, as if he was stepping on Agou's neck.
Just by hearing these words, you can understand that he is angry.
Agou didn't dare to chase after him. He watched him go back to the backyard, then returned to the main room to continue copying the recipe.
I'll copy them all tonight and send them over tomorrow morning, and I'll be able to atone for my sins.
Gu Tang's anger came and went quickly, and when she returned to the room, she was no longer angry.
I took out the incense sticks I bought from the box and held them in my arms, using up today's sign-in opportunity.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing today's sign-in and receiving a set of incense-making tools! ]
Incense making tools?
Gu Tang had never seen this before. He cleaned up the table and took out the incense-making tools from the system backpack - a big gift bag with a bow!
Gu Tang:……???
Untie the bow and open the gift package to reveal the incense-making tools.
A boat mill, a mesh screen, an iron mortar, an incense squeezer, an incense drying net, and a set of various molds...all handmade.
These things are enough for a person to open a small workshop.
Gu Tang kept it and planned to give it to her father, teach him how to make incense, let him make incense by himself, and open his own shop to sell it, which was also a kind of fun.
After putting away her things, she put some charcoal into the stove to make sure it would not go out in the middle of the night, and opened all the ventilation panes on the windows to prevent coal poisoning.
Gu Tang rubbed his cold fingers, took off his clothes shiveringly, and slipped into the bed. He was instantly wrapped in warmth, which made people sigh.
The quilt on her bed was from the "Warm as Spring" series that she had obtained by signing in previously. There were two sets of quilts in it, one purple and one aqua green.
The purple one was kept at my third uncle's house, and the aqua one was left in the courtyard.
Of course, when she returns to the village, she will still have to put this set of bedding into the system backpack and take it with her.
She was afraid that if this place was uninhabited for a long time, a thief might break in and steal her precious bedding. She would be so angry that she would die!
Lying in the bed, I feel warm all over, as if the quilt has its own big stove.
She yawned, turned over and fell asleep.
…
The next morning, Gu Tang got up early because he was worried about the Cheng family and thought that there were other valuables that had not been sorted out, so he didn't sleep in.
Agou got up much earlier than her. He went to see the little beggars first and told them that a charity would be set up soon and they would all be able to live in it.
The little beggars trusted Agou very much. He said that if there was a charity hall, there must be one. Everyone believed his words very firmly.
Before leaving, Agou gave them some copper coins and said that he would visit them once a day until they moved into the charity home.
After leaving the little beggar's place, Agou wandered casually on the street and saw many more constables and some people with knives on the street.
He knew in his heart that the Cheng family might be making some moves.
He found a teahouse on the street, ordered a cup of tea, and asked the owner while eating, "What's going on? Why are there so many more constables on the street when I woke up? And those with knives, I've never seen them before, where did they come from?"
The store owner was well-informed and whispered in Ah Gou's ear, "I heard that the Cheng family was robbed and a lot of valuables were stolen!"
The shopkeeper pointed at the men with knives and said, "Those are the Cheng family's hired thugs. The Cheng family wants them to work with the detectives to search for strangers coming and going in the city."
"The Cheng family is so powerful that they can even use the constables at will!" Agou sighed in a pretentious manner.
The shopkeeper sneered, "I have a daughter who is a queen in the palace! These constables have to be friendly and fawning to them."
Agou paused and said, indeed, with a queen in hand, the Cheng family has the capital to be proud.
After having tea, he quickly returned to the courtyard and just saw Gu Tang coming out of the backyard.
When he saw Gu Tang, Agou asked her attentively what she wanted to eat in the morning, fearing that she was still angry and taking her anger out on him.
Gu Tang had already forgotten what happened yesterday. She asked Agou to cook something to fill his stomach, as they would have to register the remaining property later.
Gu Tang said it was up to him, but Agou didn't dare to really say it.
He first cooked some rice porridge, then fried a few eggs, and finally stir-fried some pickles with some oil residue.
When the food was finally brought to Gu Tang, he nodded with satisfaction.
Agou breathed a sigh of relief and sat down opposite her.
There was no such thing as not talking while eating or sleeping between the two of them. Gu Tang sometimes even liked to ask him questions while they were eating.
Agou also knew her hobby, so he took the initiative to tell her about what he had seen and heard outside.
"The Cheng family has taken action. They have released all of their thugs and hired many detectives. The two parties are searching for unfamiliar civilians in the city."
"Was this ordered by the Cheng family?" Gu Tang raised his eyebrows. If this was really an order from the Cheng family, then the person who gave the order was definitely not smart.
Is this because he is afraid that the Cheng family hasn’t made enough enemies and wants to attract more hatred to his own family?
"It should be an order from the Cheng family... Almost all the people in the city think so."
idiot!
If the Cheng family were all idiots like this, then there would be nothing to worry about.
In fact, the Cheng family was also arguing about this matter.
The person who ordered this was the eldest son of the Cheng family. After learning that her house had been robbed, Old Lady Cheng went to check the warehouse in her yard. Sure enough, all the things in her warehouse were gone.
This scene was such a huge shock that Mrs. Cheng fainted, and the Cheng family was in a state of panic!
At this time, Boss Cheng showed up as the eldest son, and asked someone to call a doctor, and at the same time, he asked someone to gather all the guards and thugs hired by the Cheng family.
Boss Cheng also lost a lot of property himself, and he was already furious and had lost all his rationality.
At this time, he only thought about asking someone to search and get the lost property back. He never thought about the consequences of being so ostentatious.
When Old Mrs. Cheng was rescued by the doctor and learned what her son had done, she was so angry that she almost died.
Then Old Lady Cheng drove away all the maids and servants in the house, leaving her son alone in the room, and started cursing at him, pointing at his old face.
"Idiot! When something like this happens, it's too late to cover it up, but you're the one rushing to spread the news!"
"Why do we have to cover it up? We lost so much money..."
"Shut up!" Old Lady Cheng grabbed the pillow on the bed and threw it at the man. "The silver lost in the warehouse is not all from our Cheng family! The gold and silver that the Shen family and the Bai family deposited with us are all lost!"
Boss Cheng's face changed. After this reminder, he belatedly thought of the Shen family and the Bai family.
"Although the main families of these two families were raided, their side branches are still officials! The two families were afraid that the side branches would also be raided, so they didn't dare to send the gold and silver to them. So they settled for the next best thing and sent it to our house."
For this reason, the Cheng family accepted the money and other benefits given by the two families, so that the empress in the palace also benefited a lot.
"Now we have not taken good care of the property of the two families. If this matter gets to the ears of the Shen family and the Bai family, and they come to your house and say they want to take away the gold and silver, what will you give them?"
Boss Cheng's face turned pale, but he still managed to speak: "What's the harm if they come? No one can predict that thieves will come to steal..."
"Who would believe it?" Old Lady Cheng looked at him coldly, "Most of the lost property is gold and silver, and all of it is cash, this is not a small amount!
"There are more than a hundred boxes! Who can move all this gold and silver without alerting anyone?"
"…We were not alarmed because everyone in our mansion was drugged!"
Old Lady Cheng's eyes were filled with disappointment: "I said the same thing again, who would believe it? Who would believe that all the hundreds of people in our house were drugged? Not to mention that there is a doctor's diagnosis as evidence, outsiders will only say that we bribed the doctor to fake it!
Especially after the Shen and Bai families knew about this, they would not believe it. They would only think that we were too greedy, that we were not satisfied after receiving the benefits, and that we wanted to swallow all the gold and silver!"
Boss Cheng's face was pale now, but he still said stubbornly: "We have always had a close relationship with the Shen and Bai families. They will not disbelieve us."
"If this happened to you, and you deposited all your family's property with someone else, and later they told you that all the gold and silver were stolen by thieves, would you believe it or not?"
Don't believe it!
These two words popped up in Mr. Cheng's mind subconsciously, and when he came to his senses, he was stunned.
Soon, his spirit and spirit became visibly declining, and he finally admitted that he had lost his mind and messed up the matter.
"Mother, can you please see...is there any way to remedy this?"
Veins on Old Mrs. Cheng's forehead were throbbing and she felt a splitting headache.
Her son is really useless!
After calming down, Old Lady Cheng said, "Call them back first and give them more money to make them shut up!"
Boss Cheng paused, feeling a little sorry for the money: "There is not much gold and silver left at home..."
Old Lady Cheng stared at her son fiercely, "I am old, but I am not confused! All the lost items in the courtyards of our house were cash, and the banknotes were not touched! And the dowries of your wife, the second wife, and the third wife are all intact!"
Boss Cheng's face turned red and he stopped talking.
