Chapter 25 Why is the Spring Breeze so Intoxicating?
Chapter 25 Why is the Spring Breeze so Intoxicating?
The name of the inn where Gu Zhuo stayed was very strange.
The name Baicaoyuan seems more like the name of a pharmacy or a vegetable garden no matter how you look at it, but it is actually an inn, and has stood in Wangjing City for many years. Although the prices are quite expensive, the business is always good.
He chose to stay in this inn because it was only two long streets away from the Lin Mansion, and also because this inn had an independent formation that continuously condensed the aura between heaven and earth, and was decorated and purified with a variety of precious green plants, creating an environment full of greenery and creating an environment similar to that of the sect on the mountain for the guests.
An inn like this is expensive, of course.
A gentle breeze blows in through the window, bringing coolness.
Gu Zhuo sat in front of the window, looking at the lake outside that reflected the flowing clouds, and thought that Butler Qiu was indeed meticulous in his work.
He just casually put forward his request, and the old servant of the Lin family was able to find three suitable inns for him to choose from in less than half a day. After he made his decision, all the trivial matters were arranged within half an hour, allowing him to go directly to the room without having to do anything during the whole process.
It is no wonder that such a person was left in Wangjing by the Lin family to look after Lin Wanyi.
He thought about these things silently, his eyelids slightly lowered, his gaze falling on the jade pendant in his palm.
For some reason, Gu Zhuo was reluctant to accept the jade pendant, but Lin Wanyi was too persistent. Seeing that he kept shouting and walking away, she even lifted her skirt and chased after him without hesitation, forcing him to accept this kindness.
At this moment, a voice suddenly fell into his heart.
"There is news about what you asked."
Gu Zhuo thanked him and turned his gaze to the table beside him, looking at the thirteen challenge letters placed there.
Then, Tianguang Yunying and Chunfeng told him the news they had heard one by one.
"The person who sent the first challenge letter often sneaked out in the middle of the night, and every time he came back he was clean. He must have secretly taken a shower outside!"
"The person who sent the second letter should be practicing slapping. The hamster in his home told us that he often used this move to hit women. But you are a man, so you are definitely not afraid of this move."
"Also, the third and fourth letters show that the relationship between these two must be very bad. They live together, but..."
Gu Zhuo raised his hand, indicating that he should stop talking.
He sighed helplessly and said, "Don't you think this is weird?"
Yes, the first thing he did after checking into the inn and opening the window was to let everything follow the remaining aura on the thirteen challenge letters, find the person corresponding to each letter, and confirm the other party's fighting style.
Although Gu Zhuo never thought that he would lose, why not win easily?
He is not the kind of person who loves fighting and likes to seek challenges for himself.
But he didn't expect that the information they finally got back from them, who were usually quite reliable, would be so confusing.
"It's not our fault."
The voice from Chunguang was full of helplessness and grievance: "These people are not the pervert who lives in the palace now. Who would go over to take a look when they have nothing to do? If we want to ask now, can't we just go around the streets and ask cats, dogs, hamsters and old banyan trees?"
"Hey, it's not easy to get them to talk. The cat wants the sun to bask in it until it's just right and comfortable. The dog wants me to play with it by throwing the ball for half an hour. I don't know where it gets so much energy! The hamster is a little better. It just keeps asking me where there are more fruits. It's always thinking about stocking up in advance. But those trees just don't like to have all kinds of messy things stuffed into their bodies. Can't I just persuade them to reconcile?"
There is an unstoppable melancholy and resentment in the sound of the spring breeze.
As these two people spoke one after another, all kinds of helpless complaints suddenly came up, recounting in detail the strange requests they encountered when inquiring for information, and their grievances were mixed together.
Gu Zhuo was speechless.
He really didn't think things would be so difficult to deal with. The requirements described in the words made people feel helpless just thinking about them.
What’s even more frustrating is that after finally getting all these things done, the information we finally got was so unbearable to hear that it left us speechless.
"Feel sorry."
He sighed and said to them, "I thought things were too simple."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sky, clouds, spring breeze and all things became one again.
"You can't be blamed for this. We didn't expect this to happen!" "No, why did you choose us? I didn't ask you to represent me."
"I do not have either!"
"Do you really want to blame him?"
"Strange, I guess it's not strange, but I just want to hear a few more good words, don't you want to?"
"Eh... that seems to be the case. I take back what I said."
Gu Zhuo listened to these words and looked at the lake of spring water outside the window, and couldn't help laughing.
Then he thought seriously for a moment, put away his smile, and began to speak nice words to them.
It is early spring, and the peach and plum trees by the lake outside the window are in full bloom, with the flowers waving their branches.
Passersby by the lake saw the flowers dancing in the wind and couldn't help but smile and ask, "Why is the spring breeze so intoxicating today?"
……
……
In the evening, deep inside the Cheung Chau Academy.
It’s still the same small building, the same group of old people, and the things they talk about are still the same.
"They all agreed to Gu Zhuo's request and let him choose the time and place. It seems that they want to save face a little bit."
"So who persuaded them to agree? Is there anyone in Wangjing who dislikes him?"
"…Who knows? The only thing we can be sure of right now is that this matter has nothing to do with the academy."
"That's not certain."
"How to say?"
"Someone has asked me for information about Gu Zhuo."
At this point in the conversation, everyone present suddenly realized the problem and looked at the vice president, whose face was becoming increasingly haggard.
The final conclusion of the meeting last night was to have both, so they must now consider the impact of sending out Gu Zhuo's information, and can no longer act without scruples as before.
The vice-president was silent for a long time, then shook his head and said, "This is ultimately a feud between Changzhou Academy and Gu Zhuo."
When everyone heard this, they thought that this sentence sounded very reasonable.
The next moment, many people's faces became strange because they all remembered something.
——Didn't you make the decision to bully the weak last night? Now that someone else has done it for you, you pretend to be profound and say such pure words?
……
……
In the evening, Baicao Garden.
Gu Zhuo carefully sealed the last letter with wax and put it together with the previous twelve letters, waiting for the innkeeper to come and collect the letters.
He has already decided on a time.
It was an ordinary ten days later, but the location was interesting.
That was the road that Gu Zhuo was most familiar with.
