I can travel a million miles

Chapter 37 What's Under the Eyes

I saw crooked writing on the page.

——Geng He's wife died of illness in the 11th year of Longzheng. Geng He's daughter, Geng Rong, married Wu Peng in the [-]th year of Longzheng and gave birth to a son in the [-]th year of Longzheng. Street, the sixth courtyard from the east.

"Wu Peng? Qingping Street?"

After Chen Mu looked at it, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The reason for his surprise was simple. Not only did he have an impression of Wu Peng, Qingping Street was also familiar to him, because Qingping Street was the block near Xuanguo Mansion.

And Wu Peng, the inspector, was in charge of patrolling that area. He would lead a team to patrol a large area outside the Xuanguo Mansion on time every night, and he was also related to the Xuanguo Mansion.

Chen Mu shook his head.

After going around such a big circle, he even entrusted to Tianji Building, which was right under his nose, but without the investigation of Tianji Building, even if Geng Rong was a servant of Xuanguo Mansion, he would not be able to find him.

After all, it involved so many years ago, during which time the imperial power was changed.

Not much to say.

Chen Mu kneaded the yellow paper into a ball, crushed it into powder with his fingertips, and walked out of the secret building.

After about a few breaths, a man in white robe came out, flicked his sleeves lightly, and swept all the powder out of the house, making the wooden table clean and tidy again.

……

Ching Ping Street.

back street.

The inspector of the Wucheng soldiers and horses is an official who is neither high nor low, second only to the deputy commander. In Xungui's eyes, he was just a patrolman.

The courtyard where Wu Peng, the inspector, lives is a courtyard with two entrances, but it is larger and better among the two entrances. There are also a few maids and servants, who can barely be regarded as "masters".

Chen Mu quickly found the place.

He didn't pay much attention to it. After turning on his spirit vision, he glanced around and saw everything in Wu Peng's yard. There were three servants and two maids, busy with trivial matters.

Then there is a woman living in the main house, and a child about ten years old.

It seems that Wu Peng, the inspector himself, is not at home.

But Chen Mu didn't care, he didn't have any interest in Wu Peng, including Wu Peng's children, he came here just to find Wu Peng's wife.

Step forward.

Chen Mu raised his hand and knocked on the door.

The door was quickly opened, and a servant came out. Seeing Chen Mu's appearance, he was slightly surprised, and then he saluted without daring to neglect, "My lord, what's the matter with you?"

"I was entrusted by someone to ask your mistress about something."

Chen Mu spoke calmly.

The servant was taken aback.

I thought Chen Mu was looking for Wu Peng, the inspector, for something. After all, Wu Peng was an inspector, which was normal, but it seemed a bit strange to ask Geng Rong directly without asking Wu Peng.

But seeing Chen Mu's extraordinary demeanor, he still didn't dare to neglect. After a little hesitation, he bowed and ran into the yard to report.

But it said that Geng Rong was teaching his son Wu Ming to practice calligraphy in the backyard.

When she was eight years old, Geng He lost all her family's wealth, and she was considered a lady before that. She had learned to write, and she never fell behind, and occasionally practiced.

Hearing the servant's report, Geng Rong was also a little strange, why did she not find Wu Peng but her, and what kind of old friend was entrusted by an old friend?
Can't figure it out for a while.

But in broad daylight, if a son came to visit, there should be nothing.

After thinking for a while, Geng Rong followed the servants out and greeted the door.

open the door.

At first glance, he saw that the young master outside the door was younger than what the servants described, he was only sixteen or seventeen years old at most, and he was indeed extraordinary.

Not daring to be negligent at the moment, he invited Chen Mu into the yard, to the side room where the guests were entertained, ordered his servants to serve tea, and then asked suspiciously:

"This young master, I don't know what is the matter, and who asked the young master to find it?"

Chen Mu looked at Geng Rong carefully.

Spirit Vision can see Qi, blood, and spirit veins, but can't see the details of the face. At this moment, after careful inspection, one can see that Geng Rong has a ruddy complexion, a carefree face, and a plump body. It is obvious that she is Wu Peng's regular wife. , Life should be good all the time.

However, this scrutinizing gaze made Geng Rong a little uneasy. After all, he had been wandering when he was young, and he had seen a lot of darkness. He knew that some masters didn't like girls and only loved wives. But Chen Mu in front of him was only sixteen or seventeen years old, so he shouldn't As for this?
Of course, Chen Mu didn't know Geng Rong's messy thoughts for a moment. After carefully examining and confirming Geng Rong's situation, he said calmly:
"The person who asked me to come here should be an old friend of yours, saying that I have failed you in this life and made you suffer, and I don't know how to make up for it, so I don't ask for your forgiveness, but let me ask you about your recent situation, but it seems that you should No disease, no disaster, and a good life.”

while talking.

Chen Mu took out two pages of golden tickets from his sleeve.

Yesterday Wanzhen House sent twenty pages of gold tickets, one of which was fifty gold, saying it was the first glazed ware made according to the glaze system, and it was auctioned for two thousand gold, so half of it was sent.

Two thousand gold is already a number that ordinary people dare not think about, but for real rich people, it is just money that is usually thrown around at will.

Things like glass making method are indeed eye-catching in the early stage, and they are more exquisite and clear than jade. As long as Wanzhen Building can bear it, only a very small amount will be produced every month. Keep it at a great price.

Chen Mu handed the golden ticket to Geng Rong.

"He entrusted me to hand it over to you, so that you can spend it on a daily basis, so don't be harsh on yourself."

"This……"

Geng Rong was shocked when he saw the face value of the gold ticket.

Although she is not in an ordinary family now, one hundred gold is not a small amount even for Wu Peng, an inspector. down.

and.

Geng Rong didn't remember any old friends, and it was even more unbelievable that she could give her a hundred gold at once, but it was more like Chen Mu gave it out by himself.

Although Chen Mu gave too much, but his child is already ten years old!

"This is too much, young master, I really can't accept it, and since the old man is already an old friend, why should he come looking for me again?"

Geng Rong refused.

Chen Mu didn't take it back, and didn't care about Geng Rong's thoughts, and said straightforwardly: "It's good to accept this cause and effect with peace of mind. The other old man also asked your mother and asked me to pay homage on his behalf."

Hearing that Chen Mu mentioned her mother, Geng Rong was stunned for a moment, and a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes. Could it be that some old friend really entrusted Chen Mu to come here?
After being confused for a while, Geng Rong responded to Chen Mu's question, also told Chen Mu where her mother was buried, and asked a servant to lead the way and take Chen Mu there.

Chen Mu left immediately.

Under the guidance of the servants, they soon came to the place where Geng He's wife was buried. This is also the ancestral grave of Wu Peng's family. Being able to bury Geng Rong's mother here, it is obvious that Wu Peng is very kind to Geng Rong.
