Chapter Seventy-Five: Messengers
When Aunt Xiang said this, she hesitated, so Xiao Jiangbei knew what she meant. With a slight raising of his eyebrows, he looked at Aunt Xiang with a hint of displeasure in his eyes, and said categorically: "Qiluo is my fiancΓ©e, and she will naturally enter the Xiao family in the future." β
Aunt Xiang knew that Xiao Jiangbei refused to let go, so she sighed and said, "This is a little difficult......
Without waiting to finish speaking, he saw Xiao Jiangbei's eyes narrow, and said in a deep voice: "Why is it so difficult?" This matter is obviously fraudulent, the original family has the intention to marry the Gu family, why didn't they move around for several years before? Master Gu is not a person who climbs power and attaches nobility, if Qiluo has a marriage contract, how can he marry my Xiao family? As soon as I entered the door today, someone jumped to slander Kira, but even if this is true, what does it have to do with Kira? She is a weak woman, why should she be responsible for the mistakes of others? I punished the next person last time, and now there are still people who don't learn their lesson, and this is still in our house, so you can see how those villains outside arranged her. Splashing a basin of dirty water on her head like this, my aunt not only didn't think about how to comfort her, but thought about my reputation, I am a dignified seven-foot man, who has been in the border for a long time, even if the wind is like a knife? But how difficult should it be for her, a weak woman, to be bullied like this? β
Xiao Jiangbei had never said so many words, and every word was awe-inspiring, only Aunt Xiang's face turned red when she heard it. Xiao Jiangbei stopped talking, turned around and went out with a calm face, Aunt Xiang wanted to call him, but opened her mouth, and finally swallowed the words back.
**************************
When he first woke up from a nap, Gu Qiluo sat up and stretched gently. Then she heard a whispering voice coming from under the porch, so she said to the window: "Xinghua Chunyu, what do you have to say outside?" In. Tell me about it, too. β
"The girl is awake?"
Xinghua and Chunyu came in from outside the door, followed by a person, it was actually the Yang family in the Baiwei Pavilion, Gu Qiluo saw her, Fang stood up and said, "It turned out to be Sister-in-law Shi, why did you come here?" But what happened to the Baiwei Restaurant? β
"No, no, it's early this morning. We went to the peach blossom river outside the city to catch a few fresh fish, and asked me to come over and send two to the girl, and the girl boiled some fish soup to drink. Very nourishing. β
It was the first time for the Yang family to enter the mansion of this five-rank official, and her behavior was very restrained, for a poor person like her, the county lord of the seven-rank was already a big man who could not be seen or reached. What's more, this Gu Mingyang is still a serious five-grade Beijing official.
"Okay. I was just thinking about fish soup to drink, thank you Brother Shi for helping me. Gu Qiluo agreed with a smile, sat in the chair while speaking, pointed to the opposite side and asked Yang to sit down, Chunyu came up with refreshments, Gu Qiluo took a sip, and asked Yang: "Xinghua and I haven't been to Baiwei Hall these days, how is it?" How's the business? Can it be affected? β
"No, no." Yang hurriedly shook his hand and said, "Although the apricot blossom girl didn't go over." But with Old Man Li in charge, it attracted more people. Those dignitaries. Nowadays, guests like to come to Baiwei Restaurant to book a table, but they complain that we have too few banquets for three tables a day, and often they have to wait until a month later. β
Gu Qiluo nodded and smiled: "That's good." Speaking of God, I sent a pillow when I was sleepy, who would have thought that Mr. Li was still a chef, the craftsmanship of apricot blossoms, I often say that it is a pity for her to be a girl, but I didn't expect this to be really out of the sky. β
Xinghua also laughed on the side: "Isn't it?" The slave maid has always been proud of his cooking skills, the old man wanted to take the position of the slave maid's chef, the slave maid also thought that his old man was a mouthful, but in order to steal food so he bragged, who knew that he only ate one dish, he knew that he was a big expert, and the slave's little ability compared with others, it became a three-legged cat. β
Yang smiled: "Girl, you don't need to say that, Old Man Li is a person who has been an imperial chef, but he can't stand those rules, so he thinks of a way to get out." Now there is his golden signboard, Baiwei Restaurant is really like a guest, I originally heard that the girl will increase the price later, and I am afraid that the guests will not come to the door at that time, who knows that there are a few guest officers in the past few days, looking very rich, actually complained that the price of our banquet is too low, saying that because of this, anyone can book a seat. So I figured out that even if the price increases in the future, it will have no impact on business. β
Xinghua thought to herself that it was because sister-in-law Shi, you don't know how much the girl is going to rise, if you do, I'm afraid you won't faint in fear at this time. But she didn't say it in her heart.
Gu Qiluo saw that Yang was obviously very restrained, but she refused to leave, and knew that she had something to say. Because he smiled: "Xinghua and Chunyu are not outsiders, Sister-in-law Shi has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." β
Seeing that Gu Qiluo saw through his intentions, the Yang family no longer hesitated, thought about it and whispered: "Today, the second master of the Xiao family went to the store. β
"Xiao Jiangbei?" Gu Qiluo was in a trance, and Chunyu and Xinghua beside him were already excitedly shouting, "The second master is back?" He...... What does he go to the store for? When it came to the last sentence, the two girls suddenly became worried, so their voices trembled slightly: A woman marries two husbands, what man can endure this kind of thing? Not to mention what kind of heroic character Xiao Jiangbei is? Even if this matter is completely unwarranted for his own girl, even if he used to be really good to the girl, but ...... In the tide of discussion and disdain in the capital, will he still maintain this sober and rational mind? β
"Did he say anything?" Gu Qiluo was also very puzzled when he saw the Yang family's spitting appearance, could it be that Xiao Jiangbei would really be swayed by those rumors? Because you can't stand this kind of thing, you want to cut off contact with me? He doesn't look like such a brainless person, but if it weren't for that, how could Sister-in-law Shi be so embarrassed?
Just thinking about it, I heard Yang whisper: "The second master said that he ...... He knew that the girl had been greatly wronged, so he relieved the girl, and now he ...... When he comes back, he will make decisions for the girl, and ...... In addition......"
"What else?" Xinghua and Chunyu were in a hurry, and secretly said that this sister-in-law Shi, why did she have such a gentle character? It's obviously a good thing, but looking at her appearance, we thought it was bad. I couldn't help but ask in unison.
The second master said, I want to ...... Wanting to see the girl, he said...... He...... He...... He misses the girl. After Yang finished speaking, his face was already flushed, and while thinking back to what Xiao Jiangbei told Gu Qiluo in the store, he still felt incredible: How could there be such a bold young man in the world? Isn't it said that those people who pay the most attention to rules and etiquette? If it's so direct and enthusiastic, even in the countryside, no one dares to say it when they are not married.
Only then did Gu Qiluo understand why the Yang family was so restrained, he was angry and funny in his heart, and secretly said that Xiao Jiangbei, this guy, has always been used to doing his own thing, and he doesn't care about other people's feelings at all, this sister-in-law Shi is a gentle person, no wonder it frightened him by his fierce and direct confession.
Although thinking like this, Xiao Jiangbei was able to rush to the Baiwei Pavilion as soon as he returned to Beijing, and expressed his heart to himself through the mouth of the Yang family, Gu Qiluo was still very happy in his heart. Although she has stayed at home these days, she has a comprehensive plan for this matter, but Xiao Jiangbei was suddenly ordered to suppress the bandits, which was beyond her expectations, for half a month, there was no news of that person, and she could not get a trace of comfort, and she was still a little tormented in the end. Now that he learned that the other party had returned safely, and he had to hand over such words, the depression in his heart dissipated.
Because of thinking about it carefully, Gu Qiluo said: "Sister-in-law Shi will go back first, if the second master sends someone over again, you can tell him, now is not the time to meet in private, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at it, and being watched by others is not good after all." Let him be at ease, and when it's time to meet him, I'll meet him. By the way, remember to tell him, don't be impulsive, I already have a countermeasure, and I want him to help, let him wait for my news. You reassure him that I won't fail him. β
The Yang family almost didn't let his saliva choke, and said secretly, okay, I just said that the second master of the Xiao family is really unscrupulous, and now I have also seen the enthusiasm and boldness of our host, no wonder the two of them can match together, this is what kind of pot with what cover, a match made in heaven.
While thinking about it, seeing that Gu Qiluo was not affected by this turmoil at all, and said that there were countermeasures, she also put her mind at ease. Finally, the family survived in a desperate situation, and now they can have such a good place to live and work, and they can save a little money while eating and drinking, which was unimaginable in the past, and this qiΔ is because of the Baiwei Restaurant, so that they have a happy life for their family of five, of course, the Yang family does not want the owner to be affected by this matter, and even bring his own family to be affected.
**********************
"Second master, let's ignore these rumors, anyway, the eldest girl also brought a letter, saying that she has a countermeasure, don't be impatient."
In the teahouse, Xiao Qiao looked at Xiao Jiangbei in front of him in horror, and saw that the cup of tea was gradually cooled by his hand, and the little guy became more and more afraid. He also learned today: it turned out that the fierce master was not terrible, and it was such a silent and cold second master who did not say a word that really made people afraid and afraid from the bottom of their bones.
Xiao Jiangbei didn't make a sound, but this didn't mean that his heart was like water, when he thought of how much pressure and suffering Gu Qiluo endured during the days when he was not in the capital, and thought of those insidious and despicable villains who were determined to destroy his marriage with Qiluo for some reason, he was furious, he only hated that the other party was not a Tartar, and he couldn't let him leap on a horse and hold a knife and kill a river of blood.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the teahouse, Xiao Jiangbei hurriedly stood up, and when he saw Gu Mingyang coming in, he stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Uncle Gu." β
Gu Mingyang looked haggard, waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, you've been waiting here for a long time, right?" β
"Just arrived." Xiao Jiangbei replied indifferently, attracting the side glances of the little guy from his family, and the secret Taoist didn't blink when he lied, obviously he sat here in silence for an hour, and the tea was changed to three pots. (To be continued......)
