The gentleman is knocking on the door

Chapter 44 The fool who regards money as dung

Mi Congcong frowned slightly, did that Guo Hongyuan take her words for granted? Why did he look for her so blatantly?
"Congcong, how does Fifth Young Master Guo know that you are here in the county and that you live in this inn?" asked Mi Zhiqinghu who was beside him.

"Just after I took you to the car last time, I ran into Master Guo Wu on the street." Mi Congcong said in a deep voice, "Uncle, I'll go to the 'Zuixianju' to see if there's anything wrong."

Seeing that she was wearing men's clothes, Mi Zhiqing nodded hesitantly and said: "Go, remember, no drinking."

"Uncle, I know." Mi Congcong handed the cloth bag containing the Taoist robe to Mi Zhiqing, and went to "Zuixianju" alone to find Guo Hongyuan.

Mi Congcong was stopped at the entrance of "Zuixianju" by the waiter who greeted the guests, and the waiter had a smile on his face: "My little brother, may I ask which family you are from?"

Xiaoer's hidden meaning is to ask which family's servant Mi Congcong is?
Although Xiao Er was smiling, the expression on his face showed that he was guarding against her rushing in, afraid that she would bump into the guests inside, which made Mi Congcong very upset, but there are many people in this world who look down on people with dog eyes. What's more, she is indeed a poor person now, Mi Congcong had no choice but to suppress the anger in his heart, and said coldly: "I'm looking for Master Guo Wu."

The second boy looked Mi Congcong up and down, and said with a smile, "Young brother doesn't look like a member of the Guo family."

He can recognize the clothes of the servants of the Guo family, and this kid is wearing coarse cloth, so he is not from the Guo family at all. Sometimes he can't eat and walk around.

"I'm not from the Guo family..."

Mi Congcong was about to say something when Ade rushed out of the restaurant in surprise and joy: "Mr. Mi, you are here. My young master has been waiting for you for a long time. I am going to the inn to see if you are back." ?”

Mi Congcong took a look at the mistress, and the mistress who had already heard Ade's words hurriedly apologized: "It turned out to be the guest of the Fifth Young Master Guo, sorry for my poor eyesight, please don't blame this young master."

"Knowing that my eyesight is dull, next time I will enlarge my eyes a little bit. Young Master Guo Wu's distinguished guests dare to stop me. Don't you want to do it?" Chen De spat at the little girl.

Xiaoer nodded, bowed and smiled apologetically: "Yes, yes, it's the little one who has eyes but doesn't know Taishan, please brother Ade to let the little one go this time, the little one will definitely stare wide-eyed in the future."

"It's not me you should be begging, but Mr. Mi!"

Mi Congcong finds Ade's arrogant appearance amused, but in fact, she is so clear-eyed that even if she were replaced by another mistress today, she would stop her. In the final analysis, it was all because of one word - poor!

Therefore, only by making yourself rich and powerful can you be unimpeded outside.

"Ah De, forget it, take me to see your young master." Seeing that Ade's perseverance has attracted the attention of many people, Mi Congcong opened his mouth.

If Ji Tian finds out about her relationship with the big fool, he will probably show his feet when he inquires.

After entering the private room, Mi Congcong realized that his worries just now were completely unnecessary.

"Congcong, you're here!"

As soon as he saw Mi Congcong, Guo Hongyuan excitedly stepped forward to give her a hug, but Mi Congcong turned sideways to avoid it, and took advantage of the opportunity to sit on the chair.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Mi Congcong leaned back in the chair, slightly raised his eyelids and glanced at him.

"Ah De, order Xiao Er to serve!" Guo Hongyuan happily returned to the table after speaking, pulled a chair and sat down next to Mi Congcong, and the two brothers put their hands on the back of her chair: "Congcong Cong, Ji Tian returned my grandfather's things."

Mi Congcong sat up straight in disbelief: "So fast?"

She thought she would have to wait two days at the earliest.

Guo Hongyuan's admiration for Mi Congcong was palpable: "Congcong, that old guy Ji Tian is as guilty as you expected. He was frightened when he heard my grandfather entrusted me with dreams. He kept telling me what to say What? I just told him your rhetoric. At first he was skeptical, but when I finished reading the two secret words of "the peach weighs heavily on the east end of the branch, and the breeze caresses the willow in the west hall", I almost lost my mind. He was scared to pee, and immediately promised me with righteous indignation that he would help me get the things back before dawn today, no, he personally delivered the things to my house early this morning."

As soon as he heard that his grandfather told him that the whole family of those who greedy his things would soon have bad luck, and the only son would also die because of it, that old guy Ji Tian turned pale with fright.

Compared with the life of his son and the safety of the whole family, Mrs. Guo's private properties are not so important.

No, Ji Tian brought the things to him early in the morning, and then went to the mountain to pay homage to his grandfather with the offerings.

Guo Hongyuan guessed that Ji Tian was going to confess to his grandfather, but he didn't stop him.

Ji Tian is a scheming person, and this time he completely underestimated Guo Hongyuan, because Guo Hongyuan was a heartless fool in his eyes, and Guo Hongyuan uttered secret words that only he and Mrs. Guo knew, Ji Tian will be convinced of this matter.

But Mi Congcong thinks that Ji Tian will react within a few days, of course, even if he reacts by then, it will be too late.

"Congcong, quickly see if there are any things left by my grandfather?" Guo Hongyuan took out a small wooden box from the bottom of the table, put it on the table and opened it.

Mi Congcong took a look, in addition to the land deed of a thousand mu Zhuangzi, a silk shop in the county, a restaurant in the capital and a ceramics shop in the capital, there are also two bank notes of Huisheng Bank in the capital. One ticket is 10 taels, a total of 20 taels.

In addition to these, there was a seal and several IOUs in the box. These IOUs should have been lent out by Mrs. Guo before his death.

Mi Congcong swallowed his saliva, and managed to get back his eyes stuck in the box.

"Hongyuan, your grandfather didn't tell me that he left any private property, but I don't think Ji Tian should have left anything?" Mi Congcong calmed down and analyzed: "After all, he didn't even have these ten taels. I have returned all the IOUs to you."

"Congcong, I believe you. Since you said he didn't keep it, then he definitely didn't!" Guo Hongyuan took out a 10 tael silver note from the wooden box and handed it to Mi Congcong, saying solemnly: " Congcong, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know that Ji Tian's shameless villain has coveted so many things from my grandfather, so this silver ticket should be regarded as my thank you gift, and you must accept it."

Mi Congcong was startled, and immediately threw the silver bill back into the box angrily, and closed it, because she was afraid that if she moved slower, she would really take the 10 taels of silver bills for herself!
