096 Backbite (Grand Chapter)
Xu Gucheng is about to leave office, and there are many things that need to be dealt with in advance, and there are also some official documents that need to be sorted out so that the new officials of Suzhou will not be so at a loss when they take over.
Xu Yu quickly climbed through the window and entered the house, washed his face and fell asleep, rarely without a bedtime exercise.
After lunch on the second day, Xu Gucheng asked the maidservant to summon the maid and take Xu Promise and Xu Qian to the flower hall in the front yard.
Because Tang Qi is a man, and he does not belong to the children of the official eunuchs and nobles, he is still a gangster in the market, and the two of them have reached the age of discussing relatives, and there is a six-fan screen embroidered with flowers and birds in the flower hall.
Xu Gucheng is wearing a green robe today, but he can't hide his compelling momentum.
After Xu Qian and Xu promised to give Xu Gucheng a salute in turn, they went behind the screen, and soon the panda-eyed Tang Qi walked in.
Tang Qi was frightened yesterday, and he ate a poison that he didn't know what poison it was, and was ridiculed by a group of dealers and servants under him, and he didn't fall asleep all night, and finally fell asleep when it was almost dawn in the morning, and someone came to invite him to Xu's mansion.
Because it was not a business matter, but a family matter, Xu Gucheng did not use his guards, but sent Tang Qi to Tiansheng Gambling House all night, and naturally asked him to inquire about Tiansheng Gambling Room.
Xu Qian saw Tang Qi through the gap in the screen, and was overjoyed, but she didn't show her face, and only glanced at Xu Qi with her spare eyes. Father really trusted her, otherwise he wouldn't have found a man outside to come back and confront her because of what she said.
Xu Yu held back a smile in his heart after seeing Tang Qi's appearance, this person was too bold.
"I don't know what to call it?" Xu Gucheng didn't dislike Tang Qi, but let him sit down, and ordered someone to bring him water.
Tang Qi has money, but no status. Never been in a place like this. He used to always feel that Lao Tzu was the first cow in the world, there was nothing to be afraid of, but when he came to Xu's Mansion today, he saw that his subordinates were very polite and polite in their every move, and their actions were not as casual as usual. On the contrary, it is a little restrained.
He was dressed fairly neatly today, wearing a black robe that had only been worn twice, without wrinkles.
He took the teacup with both hands, thanked the little guy who served the teacup, turned back to Xu Gucheng and said, "Lord Huizhizhou, the little one's surname is Tang." is the seventh in the family, and the little Tang Qi is. ā
Tang Qi had never claimed to be young since he was born, because all he came into contact with were ordinary people, even if he occasionally met people with status in taverns and gambling houses, those people would not greet him. As for Zhu Shang. He has always been known as a treasurer.
Although he is literate, he is a commoner in the end, and the gap between his daily life and the people he interacts with is too big with the heirs of the official eunuchs.
He wasn't so cautious before entering the flower hall, but after seeing Xu Gucheng, he couldn't help but be respectful when he spoke.
Because Xu Gucheng has a majesty on his body, he is a little afraid in his heart, although he has always boasted that he is not afraid of heaven and earth, but at this moment he will not be strong.
Those who know the times are Junjie. He's the handsome.
Fortunately, he missed the time yesterday, otherwise he stopped Lord Zhizhou's carriage in the alley, how would he deal with it!
Promise to hear Tang Qi's respectful voice. I can't laugh in my heart, the frog at the bottom of the well is occasionally fished up, and I will be scared like this by the different world outside!
"Tang Qi, do you know anyone from the Xu family?" Xu Gucheng didn't greet him, and went straight to the point.
"I have some contact with a lady of the Xu family. Tang Qi thought of yesterday's strange voice and silent footsteps, and suddenly felt that Lord Zhizhou in front of him was not undeceived. At least it won't kill him.
Behind the screen, Xu Qian's eyes flashed brightly. This Tang Qi is available, wait for this matter to pass. Give him a few bucks of money. The promised good days are finally coming to an end, she has been aggrieved for four months, and it is enough to see her father's doubts and disappointment in the promise today!
How could Xu Promise not notice Xu Qian's slight excitement from the soles of her feet to her hair, and muttered a few words in her heart, and heard Xu Gucheng ask: "Oh, which lady of the Xu family is it?"
Tang Qi hung his head, held the teacup tightly with his two hands, hesitated for a moment and said, "It's Xu Siniang." ā
Xu Qian just turned her head to look at the promise, with a gloating look in her eyes, and after a while, she realized that Tang Qi was not talking about the promise, but her!
Wrong!
Xu Qian believed that Tang Qi had said the wrong thing because he was nervous just now, so she calmly turned her head and continued to listen.
Xu Gucheng continued to ask, and Tang Qiyi answered one by one.
"A few days ago, a servant girl brought me a letter, and in addition to the letter paper, there was also a fifty-piece of Jiaozi. The letter said that if someone asked me, it would be said that the sixth lady of the Xu family had worked as a dealer in Tiansheng Gambling House for a year, and she was a lively personality, not taciturn. Because I didn't have a signature, I didn't have to reply, so I took the hand over and didn't take it seriously. I don't want to send a letter the day before yesterday, saying that she is the fourth lady of the Xu family, and she will give me another hand in after the matter is completed, so that I can stop your car yesterday ......"
Tang Qi said with added fuel and vinegar, he was so ugly yesterday, it was all because of Xu Qian, so he could say that Xu Qian was bad, as for Xu Liuniang's three words, he didn't dare to mention more.
Xu Qian's hands and feet were cold when she listened behind the screen, and then she was a little numb, only her eyes kept blinking, and she didn't believe what she heard just now!
Tang Qi actually had nothing to do, and said this bunch of things!
Could it be that the letter sent to him was okay at all, but that he didn't want to help her?
Xu Qian regretted to death the actions of the fourth lady of the Xu family who explained herself in order to gain Tang Qi's trust!
How can this kind of market gangster be believed!
Xu Yu sat calmly, paying attention to Xu Qian's reaction, while admiring Tang Qi's ability to make up, he was very restrained before, but now he has no obstacle in talking nonsense, no longer calling himself small, but beginning to call himself me.
Tang Qi saw that Xu Gucheng did not react to what he said, so Tang continued, of course, the more he said, the more unfavorable it would be to Xu Qian.
Xu Qian trembled her shoulders and shouted from behind the screen: "Stop!"
These two words blurted out, and Xu Qian herself didn't expect her to suddenly shout out.
A sharp voice came from behind the screen, Tang Qi shut up knowingly, and sat as upright as he could and looked at Xu Gucheng.
What reason does he have to help the fourth lady of the Xu family, just by looking at the letter she wrote, he knows that she is a proud lady with no one in her eyes, he is not rare. If you can make a good impression in front of Lord Zhizhou. Maybe it will be good in the future.
Xu Gucheng ignored Xu Qian's shout, but asked Tang Qi: "What you said just now is true?" It can be seen that what Siniang said has no basis.
Tang Qi nodded and said, "Yes." ā
Xu Gucheng had read countless people, so he could naturally hear Tang Qi's words being half-true and half-false, but what he found overnight would not be wrong.
After Xu Qian heard one of Tang Qi's words, even if her hands and feet were numb, she couldn't help but rush over and shouted, "You are lying." I haven't offended you, why do you want to frame me!" Xu Qian's voice was full of tears.
Hurt me to be put to the neck with a knife, caused me to be fed poison, caused me to be ridiculed by a bunch of boys, is it not offended?
Tang Qi scolded after hearing the voice. At the same time, he raised his eyes to look at the woman who was crying.
He was not educated in a large family, and he did not know that when a woman appeared, he should lower his eyes and avoid suspicion, instead of looking at it with a big grin.
"Father, nothing this man said is true, and his daughter will not do such a dirty thing. ā
"Father, you can't trust him, he's just a dealer in a gambling house. His words are not to be trusted. ā
If you are not trustworthy, why should you believe his words, saying that Liu Niang has worked as a dealer in Tiansheng Casino. Why did he say that Liuniang did not have amnesia, but was pretending?
Xu Gucheng was very disappointed in Xu Qian, and waved her hand to let her retreat behind the screen, so that she would not lose her manners.
Xu Qian is willing there, if she doesn't make it clear, she will be disgusted by her father for the rest of her life.
She was too confident this time. didn't reveal any news to Yumeiwu, and Aunt Du didn't know what she was doing. I can't come out to take the blame for her at this moment, she is really in trouble.
Tang Qi looked up and saw the delicate girl coming out from behind the screen. His eyes immediately straightened, and after listening to her, he realized that she was Xu Siniang, and immediately regretted saying that he had said her so badly.
But even if he knew that she was so beautiful, it was impossible for him not to speak ill of her, otherwise where would he get back the humiliation he had suffered yesterday, otherwise what would have happened to his life.
"Father, father!"
Xu Qian was about to kneel, but Xu Gucheng was still unmoved, and called for a night to come in and take Tang Qi away. His daughter is so out of shape that she can't be seen by outsiders.
Xu Qian didn't expect her father to be so ruthless, in the past, as long as she was reluctant, her father must have followed her wishes, but now she is so indifferent.
Gritting her teeth, Xu Qian finally knelt down, her back straightened at the distance two feet in front of Xu Gucheng, and her beautiful eyes were full of tears, pitiful.
Xu Gucheng stared at her for a moment, thinking about what happened yesterday and today, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and with a little self-blame, he disciplined too little, and raised his daughter to look like this.
The scheming is so deep that even his own sister has to be framed.
Xu Gucheng didn't say a word and walked away.
Xu Qian looked at the hem of Xu Gucheng's robe first approaching and then moving away, and her heart was as cold as ice.
Father, who abandoned her like this?
I didn't even ask, I didn't care if she got to such a journey.
I don't care if what she says is true or not, in short, he doesn't believe her anymore, he doesn't have her daughter in his eyes anymore......
Without her father's care, she would be nothing in the Xu Mansion.
Xu Qian's straight back suddenly bent down, and the whole person fell to the ground, tears rolled down, and dripped across her cheeks and on the ground, reflecting a wetness.
Xu Yue only came out from behind the screen at this time, and when he saw Xu Qian's lost and desperate appearance, he didn't have the expected happiness in his heart, and of course he didn't have any sympathy, because what Xu Qian suffered at the moment was all her own fault.
The promise did not make matters worse in the past and sneered, but left slowly.
Her purpose has been achieved, and there is no need to do more.
Xu Promise walked out of the house for about ten steps, stretched out his hand to block the dazzling sunlight, and suddenly heard footsteps behind him, and he was angry and angry.
"It's all you, it's all you!" Xu Qian rushed over with tears on her face, one hand raised, obviously to make a promise, she shouted loudly: "If it weren't for you, if it wasn't for you, if my mother hadn't given birth to you, I would be my father's mother's only daughter, and all the love would belong to me alone!"
Xu Yu dodged Xu Qian's hand lightly, watched her delicate face become hideous, sighed in her heart, and said, "It's you who are too dissatisfied." ā
Father and mother raised you as a daughter-in-law, but you are not satisfied, this love is divided into two points, and you don't want to allow Liuniang to enjoy the same care as you. But family affection is impossible to divide into two points, one more person is just one more love, and love will be doubled, not halved.
Xu Qian used so hard that she didn't hit Xu Cheng, she stumbled and fell to the ground, her skirt was torn, and she was half-kneeling on the ground and crying.
When the two of them came over, Xu Gu Chengqing had already left near the flower hall, and they didn't bring their maidservants, so no one came to help Xu Qian.
promises, naturally will not help.
As long as it is her enemy, no matter how pitiful she is, at most she will not add to the frost and will not lend a hand.
She is not a person who overflows with love.
The grace of a drop of water will be reciprocated, but she will also return it with the whole sea.
The sun was so strong that he promised to walk along the verandah.
Entering the inner courtyard, I didn't walk a few steps, and I met Chuntang and July with a worried face, who were standing in the sun, and their sideburns were already sweating.
When Chuntang saw that he had promised to come, he immediately greeted him and asked with concern, "Lady, are you okay?" ā
Yesterday, when the fourth lady smashed the vase and the tea cup, she was in the courtyard, she heard a few words in the house, and today the lady was called to the front yard and no one was allowed to follow, so she began to worry, until now. Now that she sees that the lady is back, she can't let go.
Xu Yu grinned: "It's okay, it's just that the fourth sister has something to do, let's go." Don't blame me for getting a tan in the sun and not being able to go out in the future. "Lift your feet and leave.
Chuntang didn't expect the lady to be in the mood to joke, and her mood suddenly relaxed a lot, she didn't think much about it, and followed with a smile.
As soon as Xu Yu turned his head, he saw Chuntang smiling brightly, and couldn't help but ridicule: "It seems that our Chuntang really wants to match someone, I want to think about it, who is suitable." Otherwise, ask Mama Li, she has been in the house for a long time, and she knows a lot of people, so let her consult a counselor or two? You got married in a hurry in the past two months, and you can't take care of your father and mother in the capital. ā
Chuntang's face turned red when he brushed the ground, and he felt that his cheeks were hot when the sun shone on him, and he said coquettishly: "Don't make fun of the little one, the little father and mother have a brother to take care of, and it is not the turn of the little one to worry." And the little one wants to go to the capital. ā
The implication is that I don't want to marry here in Suzhou.
Xu Promise laughed a few times and stopped talking.
After returning to the Ming Hibiscus Pavilion and resting for a while, he promised to let July go to find out the news of Yilian Pavilion, and he went to Yingcheng Courtyard to ask for the maid she had placed in Yilian Pavilion from the Lu family, and let the maid come to her side to do things, otherwise she would be tortured to cripple by the angry Xu Qian.
After hearing this, Lu Shi naturally agreed, but his voice was very low when he spoke, obviously he already knew about the things in the front yard.
But this time, Lu's eyes were not red, and he didn't cry-
I participated in two job fairs today, and I can't open my eyes after the code, good night everyone. (To be continued)
