Chapter 182: Gift of Jade
Gu Zhirong smiled, looked at the dark night sky, and said lightly: "When you do business, you can't lose your trust in others." What's more, I, Jiangnan Caoyun, have accepted all your remuneration and don't do my best, so how can I be worthy of your entrustment?"
The young master gave her a deep look. In fact, the batch of valuable materials he entrusted was tantamount to transporting silver and salary across the border, and it was needless to say how many bandits there were along the way. Such a dangerous delivery is not something that can be covered up by that little freight cost. The whole world dart bureau did not dare to undertake the business, but they Jiangnan Caoyun took over, if there is no sincere patriotic heart, how can they withstand this invisible danger?
He opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. Listening to her tone, it was obvious that she wanted to downplay this matter and treat it as an ordinary business dealing, and its purpose was self-evident, maybe she didn't need his thanks at all.
Or, in her opinion, it is not worth mentioning to contribute to the soldiers who defend their families and the country?
The young master took a deep breath, and suddenly felt that the fifth Miss Gu in front of him was really a little different from those boudoir ladies in the capital.
In the midst of his thoughts, he suddenly heard Gu Zhirong ask: "Young master, you just said that the medicines of the soldiers at the border pass have been detained? Who would be harsh on the medicines of the soldiers guarding the customs?"
The young master glanced at her, and didn't feel too surprised that she suddenly cared about the border soldiers. He didn't hide it either, and said a few words: "General Chen Bin and General Chen." ”
Gu Zhirong's eyebrows jumped suddenly, and his eyes drooped: "Young Master, do you know the relationship between General Chen and our Yuanning Marquis Mansion?"
The young master nodded: "Of course I know, and I still know." You see him as an enemy. ”
Gu Zhirong smiled: "So, I'll help you deliver medicines this time, from another aspect." I'll help you fight against General Chen. So, I did?"
The young master looked at her and said, "So, we have a common enemy, and we can continue to cooperate again." ”
Gu Zhirong frowned: "Young Master, haven't you heard what I said just now?"
The young master looked at her fixedly: "There are no absolutes in the world, and many things will happen in the future, who can say for sure?"
Gu Zhirong couldn't help but feel a little angry. She'd never seen anyone so thick-skinned. Didn't she make it clear just now, this is the first time and the last time. Why does this young master of the Treasure Hall like to be entangled so much?
Gu Zhirong decided to change the topic, she thought about it for a while, and then asked, "Why don't you report what General Chen did to the court and join him?"
The young master frowned: "I am not from the court. How do you read one of them?"
Gu Zhirong glanced at him. Slowly, "Oh" sounded: "See...... You are not a temple person. ”
She lowered her eyes, hiding a look of suspicion from the bottom of her eyes.
The identity of this young master of the Treasure Hall is too mysterious. Some time ago, she asked Uncle Wang to listen to Fenglou to verify this person, but after checking for more than half a month, she couldn't find a trace of it, as if this person was like a person rising from the ground, without a source and no sect. There is no trace at all.
She knew that the road ahead of her was killing every step of the way, so. She would never allow unidentified people to be around her. Of course, including this young master.
The young master smiled: "Miss Gu Wu must think that I care so much about the situation of the court, so she treats me as a person in the court?" In fact, I am just a businessman, with a pure heart, and I can't bear to trample on my great rivers and mountains with the iron hooves of foreign tribes, and I can't bear to see the wolf smoke everywhere and the lives of people are ruined. ”
Gu Zhirong smiled: "From the fact that you dutifully raised this batch of medicines and gave them to the border guards, I can see that the young master is a human being, and he is really sincere, I admire it." It's just ......"
The young master hurriedly said, "It's just what?"
Gu Zhirong smiled and said: "It is often said that to cure a disease, we must cure the root cause, how long can a method like the young master that treats the symptoms but not the root cause last? After all, the ability of individuals is limited, and the treatment that those soldiers should enjoy cannot be realized because of the obstruction of some people, do you think this is fair?"
The young master looked at her, his eyes flickering: "What does Miss Yi Gu think of it?"
Gu Zhirong seemed to be confident: "That's good, I remember that the young master once gave me a big gift, then I will also return to the young master a big gift." Tomorrow evening, you send someone to wait at the Jiangzhou wharf, if nothing else, there will be a wonderful show there. This is an excellent handle for General Chen, and I hope that the young master can grasp this opportunity. Oh yes, the young master just said, you are not a person in the court, it doesn't matter, even if you are not a person in the court, there must be someone in the court, right? If you want to breathe a sigh of relief for the soldiers who have been detained, don't give up this opportunity. ”
Speaking of this, Gu Zhirong suddenly turned his head and glanced at the young master, and said seriously: "Don't thank me, you really don't need to thank me, you just think that I am a fake hand of you, and the communiqué is a personal vendetta." ”
The young master couldn't help laughing, but his heart was slightly cold: Tomorrow evening, will there really be a big incident at Jiangzhou Wharf?
He said seriously: "If you can really participate in General Chen's book, I think General Tong Mintong and Tong Jiajun will be very grateful to Miss Gu Wu." ”
From his tone, it can be heard that it must be Tong Min's Tong family army who has been oppressed by General Chen all the year round. And what he helped was naturally the Tong family army.
Of course, Gu Zhirong had heard of the prestige of the Tongjia Army, and he had made countless military exploits, but because this person was upright, he offended the general and was included in a book, so he could only lead his troops to guard the northeast border fortress, which was very frustrated.
If you talk about the order of fame, it is the Tongjia Army that is famous first. It's just that later, General Chen sent his niece Cen Guifei into the palace and sent it to the emperor, which made him famous in one fell swoop, and he was increasingly relied on by the emperor, and his reputation gradually surpassed that of General Tong, making the Tongjia army increasingly neglected.
Gu Zhirong finally figured out why Concubine Cen had to go against him many times at this time. If she helps General Chen, then she will naturally be her enemy.
She didn't want to get involved in the court because of business matters, so she turned her head and said lightly: "Young master's heart, General Tong will definitely be grateful." It's getting late, so the young master should go and rest first, we have to hurry tomorrow. ”
The young master understood Gu Zhirong's snubbing, presumably she didn't really feel relieved about what offended her before. So he untied the white jade pendant he was wearing and gave it to Gu Zhirong: "Although we will not cooperate in the future, but after all, it is our Baojian Hall that Miss Gu is the first, and in the future, if you need our Baojian Hall, Miss Gu only needs to send this jade pendant to the branch of any province, and someone will respond quickly." ”
Gu Zhirong was about to refuse, but the young master said again: "Miss Gu Wu, you are in business all over the world, and you will definitely encounter times of crisis, although my Baojian Hall is not a well-known gang in the rivers and lakes, but it can still help a little at a critical moment, so don't shirk it, let's accept it." ”
Gu Zhirong wanted to excuse himself, but suddenly his heart moved, so he smiled and said: "Since the young master has good intentions, but he is disrespectful, I reluctantly accept it, so I have to accept it." ”
Say goodbye and take it, be careful and hope to put it away.
The young master turned his head sideways to look at the dark night sky, and a touch of joy flashed in his eyes. (To be continued......)
