Chapter 1014: Wandering around Changsha
Sun Shan carefully put away the information and said to Gui Ge'er, "This is very important. You must keep it safe."
Gui Ge'er didn't know what was inside. Seeing that Sun Shan took it so seriously, he immediately assured him, "Brother Shan, don't worry. I will keep it well and it won't be lost."
When it comes to hiding things, Gui Ge'er is really good at it. Sometimes even Sun Shan doesn't know where he puts them.
After so many years, the things given to him are still intact. He is even better at hiding them than Sun Shan did with the copper coins.
Sun Shan said to Sun Dali, "Uncle Dali, take the villagers out for a walk these two days. Be careful! Don't take too many people at a time. Take them in batches."
If fifteen men ran out in a flash, it would definitely become a beautiful sight and might even attract other people's attention.
Nowadays people value being low-key in everything they do, and Sun Shan doesn't want to attract other people's attention.
The Censor had previously ordered him to take up his post as soon as possible, but when he was found to be still in Changsha Prefecture, perhaps the original poor impression of him would become a bad one.
That will have a certain impact on his promotion and salary increase.
Sun Dali shook his head and said, "Master, I won't go out. I want to watch over the luggage at the post station. Although it is safer here than outside, we can't guard against petty thefts. Our things are very valuable and cannot be lost."
After Sun Dali said this, Sun Shan was speechless.
Wherever Sun Dali went, it was as if he had not been there, and he kept watching the luggage the whole time.
He even slept on the luggage, guarding it strictly and not giving anyone any chance.
Because of his persistence, Sun Shan's luggage and goods were never lost.
When Gui Ge'er heard this, he thought it made a lot of sense and agreed: "Uncle Dali, you are right. We can't let our guard down. We have a lot of luggage, and if someone steals it, we will suffer heavy losses."
Sun Dali nodded quickly and said, "Yes, especially Ashan's things. They are worth a lot of money. I feel so sad to lose them."
Sun Shan thanked him and said, "Uncle Dali, you are very thoughtful. Thank you for your hard work."
Sun Dali smiled naively and said, "It's not hard. This is what I should do. As a bodyguard, I must not only protect your personal safety, but also your financial safety."
So Sun Dali stayed alone at the post station to help everyone look after the luggage.
Sun Shan led Gui Ge'er walking on the streets of Changsha Prefecture. He wanted to visit Yuelu Academy to reminisce the happy days of his youth.
But thinking that he was no longer a simple scholar, but had an official status, it would be difficult to go there, so he gave up and wandered around the streets instead.
Sun Shan and Gui Ge'er lived in Changsha for a period of time, and could only understand half of the Changsha dialect, let alone speak it.
Sun Shan walked and stopped, then went into a teahouse to have some tea and listen to some gossip.
The intelligence unit in Sunjia Village is under the big banyan tree, while the intelligence units in major cities are mostly in teahouses.
If you walk in, you can hear a lot of gossip. If you can unravel it, you might get important information.
Sun Shan is not part of a spy organization, and there is no intelligence to be gathered. However, he has been away from Changsha for so long that it might be a good idea to go to the teahouse to get some new information.
While sipping tea, Sun Shan and Gui Ge'er asked the second brother to tell them some gossip in the city.
The second brother was also happy. This was a good opportunity to make extra money. He saw that Sun Shan and Gui Ge'er were outsiders and were just fish out of town. It was the easiest way to make money.
The second brother asked with a smile: "Sir, where are you from? How long have you been in Changsha?"
If other people’s words can become “intelligence”, then Sun Shan’s words can naturally become “intelligence” as well. What if someone is interested in Sun Shan?
The second brother adheres to the principle of "never let go if he is wrong" and snoops into everyone's privacy.
Sun Shan smiled and said, "Little Brother, guess where I'm from? Haha, I used to study in Changsha. I never thought that I would be able to come here again after so many years. Changsha is great. It's the happiest place for me."
When the second brother heard Sun Shan say happy, he thought it was happiness in that aspect and immediately started to laugh slyly.
He said mysteriously, "Sir, there are many happy places in Changsha now. Do you want to know?"
It gave a color of "you know", as if to say: If you want to know, pay money and I will tell you.
Sun Shan was delighted and rewarded the second brother with a handful of copper coins.
The second brother immediately put it in his pocket and said with a smile: "Sir, you are really a generous person. Thank you for your reward."
The second brother mysteriously told Sun Shan which place was happy and which top girl was in that happy place.
He also told Sun Shan mysteriously which master liked to go there and which young master would spend a fortune on girls.
A lot of miscellaneous things were said.
Sun Shan had to admire that being a waiter was not only a physical job, but also a job with his mouth.
Look at the second brother, he is talking with saliva flying all over the place, his mouth is even drier than when he is giving a lecture.
Tsk tsk~ This money is not easy to earn, it’s all hard-earned money.
When the second brother talked a little, Sun Shan grabbed a handful of copper coins. The second brother talked more excitedly, and Sun Shan continued to grab handfuls. The second brother's face was full of smiles.
In the end, the second brother had nothing to say and said goodbye to Sun Shan happily.
Gui Ge'er was stunned as he listened, and felt even more distressed when he saw handfuls of copper coins disappearing.
After the waiter left, Gui Ge'er said seriously, "Brother Shan, you, you can't go to those happy places."
When I was in the academy, Shan Ge didn't understand those things. Why did he come back this time and ask those questions?
His brother Shan can't go to those places, or he will get dirty diseases and his crotch will get rotten.
Gui Geer continued, "Brother Shan, you really can't go to those places. Auntie and Sister Yun asked me to take good care of you. If you go to those filthy places, you will not only get syphilis, but also lose your life, and your reputation will be ruined. Brother Shan, you can't make any mistakes. Brother Shan..."
Gui Ge'er wanted to continue, but Sun Shan interrupted him: "Gui Ge'er, you are Shan Ge and I am not clear to you. Why would I go to those places?"
Unexpectedly, Su and Yun Jie'er talked about these things with Gui Ge'er in private.
Oh, Gui Ge'er looks like an undercover agent.
After hearing what Sun Shan said, Gui Ge'er felt relieved.
He nodded seriously: "Brother Shan, it's good that you know. Auntie and Sister Yun have repeatedly warned you not to go to those places. They also said that you are here to be an official, not to have fun. You must do a good job, bring honor to your ancestors, bless your descendants, and earn them an imperial decree."
Sun Shan glanced at Gui Ge'er speechlessly, as if he was really going to go and look for prostitutes.
Actually, Sun Shan didn't understand why the second brother went in that direction, but he was so excited that he just let him continue.
Sun Shan also saw that some officials were also there.
Haha, I don’t know if it’s just rumors or just hearsay.
These things are just gossip to Sun Shan at present, but in the future...
