Carrying the little lucky star, leading the villain on the road to exile

Chapter 61 061. Post Station
Gu Kaiyuan said, "We can't bring this up now. Let's wait a little longer."

Bai Suihe agreed. In ancient times, as children, they were not qualified to ask for division of the family property, otherwise they would be charged with many crimes.

Gu Kaiyuan went out specifically to ask the waiter for a pot of braised meat and two bowls of noodles, but the price was much higher.

There was no room for bargaining here, so he certainly wouldn't say anything more. He paid promptly and even gave the waiter an extra ten copper coins, asking him to bring in a large basin of hot water later.

Although there is no shortage of space, necessary covering still needs to be done.

Not seeing Gu Kaiyuan and his wife, Gu Kaiping immediately asked, "Where are my third brother and the others? Weren't they following behind just now?"

"Yes, where is he?" Gu Kaichen was also a little puzzled. "We even specially reserved two beds for him. He wouldn't have gotten separated from us, right?"

"I just saw my third uncle and aunt talking to the head escort," Gu Antong said in a low voice.

"Tong'er, are you seeing things?" Liu Yun was thinking in her heart, why did Gu Kaiyuan want to find a bailiff?
"You're not mistaken. It's the man the escort called Liu Tou. I see they all laughed."

Although Gu Antong looked down on Gu Kaiyuan, she also wanted to know what kind of relationship Gu Kaiyuan had with the bailiff. If they had a good relationship, their whole family could be taken care of.

She didn't want to walk on this damn broken road for a whole day, and she couldn't walk on it either.

"Boss, go find your third brother," Gu Baijiang was thinking in his heart, if the third brother really knew these escorts, it would not be impossible to make use of him.

"I'll go right away," Gu Kaiping didn't care about the pain in his feet at this moment, and searched back and forth between several large syncs.

Of course, he found nothing and returned dejectedly, "I didn't see any open source."

"Then why don't you ask?" Gu Kaichen said anxiously, "Dad, big brother, do you think that my third brother and the others may have run away?
If he runs away, our whole family will definitely be held accountable, which is too much."

Xu Yulan, "No way? They are so mean, are they trying to kill us?"

If they dared to escape on the way to exile, it would be a crime even more serious. They would not even have to be exiled, but would be beheaded on the spot.

"Don't talk nonsense," Gu Baijiang said, seeing that their words were getting more and more outrageous. "If they really wanted to run away, would those escorts be so quiet?"

When the Gu family heard this, they all shut up, but they were all wondering where this person had gone.

"They must have used their connections to book another room." After all, Gu Baijiang had been in officialdom for so long that he knew the ins and outs of this.

I didn't think of it before, because Gu Kaiyuan and his men only had more than 80 taels of silver on them, and they definitely didn't dare to spend so lavishly.

But now that he didn't see anyone, he had to doubt it.

"Third brother has booked another room," Liu Yun's eyes lit up. Is this possible?
She had long been fed up with these people's snoring and smelly feet. Gu Kaiyuan and the others had almost as much money as she did, and they could get a room, so why couldn't she?
"Then open two more rooms," Xu Huizhen also said, "and ask the waiter to bring in a bucket of water. I need to wash thoroughly."

The Chen family members who were busy making arrangements on the side couldn't help but gasp in amazement when they heard this. How could the Gu family be so rich that they couldn't even get enough to eat, yet they were thinking about enjoying themselves?
"Give me the money and I'll go. I will definitely pick the two best rooms." Gu Kaichen held his head high, full of confidence in this matter.

Liu Yun looked at him with disgust. Her father-in-law always said that Gu Kaichen was a late bloomer. However, as the head of the family, she knew that Gu Kaichen did not put much effort into his studies.

He was lucky to pass the exam. He hadn't made any progress in all these years because he had been using studying as an excuse to hang out with his bad friends. She knew all this, but of course she wouldn't expose it. The entire Gu family only needed Kaiping to have a promising future. It was not a good thing for his brothers to be too capable.

In fact, this is true. If it weren't for this incident, their eldest wife would have been the right person to inherit the entire Gu family.

"No need to trouble my second brother, we can go by ourselves," Gu Kaiping has always known the importance of money.

Liu Yun was very satisfied with his decision. She readily took out a tael of silver from her pocket and handed it to Gu Kaiping. "Just ask for a medium-sized room. Tong'er and I will sleep on the bed, and you and An Liang will sleep on the floor."

Gu Kaiping had no objection. Even sleeping on the floor would be more comfortable than sleeping on this big bunk bed.

Without waiting for others to react, Gu Kaiping hurriedly left with the silver. Seeing their eldest son acting like this, Gu Baijiang and Xu Huizhen couldn't believe it. Was this still the most filial and polite eldest son in their minds?

"Give the second son one or two taels of silver and go book a room as well." Gu Baijiang wanted to say it was his decision, but he couldn't bring himself to do it because the Chen family members were watching him.

Moreover, he knew that the Third Prince would definitely send someone to look for him soon, so he wouldn't have to worry about not having money then.

"Go away, stop making trouble here," the shopkeeper waved his hand in annoyance and drove them away. "You are prisoners now. It's good enough to have a roof over your head. You still want a private room? What are you thinking?"

"No, didn't someone book a room before?"

"Who is it? Did you see it?" the shopkeeper said angrily, "It won't work with me. If you can persuade the escorts, and if they say hello to us, we might give you some leeway."

Gu Kaiping and Gu Kaichen were dumbfounded. They had to get the bailiff's permission, unless they sent another big gift.

In this case, the cost of staying for one night was too high, and both of them hesitated.

Gu Kaichen's eyes turned, "Shopkeeper, do you know where my brother's room is? I have something to ask him."

"What brother, what room, I don't know," the shopkeeper said unhappily, "there are distinguished guests staying at my inn. If you dare to barge in, you will bear the consequences yourself."

These exiled people were simply accommodated in a courtyard in the corner, and their post station also received passing officials.

Gu Kaiping and Gu Kaichen actually knew about this. They had lived there before when they returned to their hometown, but there was a big difference between the two.

They didn't have the courage to go and look for him. No matter how many nice things they said, the shopkeeper remained unmoved, and the two of them had to return empty-handed.

"Is it done? Let's go over now." The Gu family had already packed up their things, and when they saw them coming, they immediately came to greet them.

"Sleep here. If you want to get a room here, you need the escort's consent."

"Then go find it," Xu Huizhen asked directly, not knowing the ins and outs of the matter.

Gu Baijiang, "Since it doesn't work, then don't cause trouble to others. Let's just stay here for one night."

The Chen family members standing by didn't expect the reversal to come so quickly. Look at what Master Gu said, are they just going to stay here for the whole night? Don't they even consider whether there are any other options?
Oh, of course there are options. If you don’t want to sleep, you can sleep in the yard.
