Chapter 178: The Current Situation of the Hou Mansion

But what is Cheng Tong's purpose in doing this? Until Cheng Tong left, Xiao Jiangbei was pondering this question, and when an answer suddenly popped up in his mind, he couldn't help but be shocked, but after thinking about it, he really couldn't think of any other possibility besides this purpose.

Cheng Tong...... Should this guy really be expected by Qiluo: after overthrowing Tang Wannian, he will stay in Liaodong and not leave, right?

Xiao Jiangbei's speculation unfortunately became a reality, and a month later, the holy decree was issued: Cheng Tong took over as the governor of Liaodong and was in charge of Liaodong affairs.

When the news came, Gu Qiluo was petrified on the spot, she didn't expect that she was just a joke that day, but now it was a sentence that came true, so that she couldn't help but touch her mouth, thinking if it had turned black or the shape of a crow's mouth?

Since Gu Qiluo knew the news, Zhong Chunfeng naturally knew about it. But in half an hour, I heard the sound of footsteps outside the house, and then Zhong Chunfeng rushed straight in in with the shouts of Mama Yue, his face was pale, his body was shaky, and when he saw her, he was stunned and asked: "Grandma, is it true?" ”

"It's true."

Gu Qiluo naturally knew what he was asking, nodded heavily, and saw Zhong Chunfeng's expression of wanting to cry without tears for a moment, she also forgot whether men and women kissed or not, stepped forward and patted each other's shoulders, and said bitterly: "I don't know how to comfort you, and I know that it's useless to comfort you, so I only give you two words, mourn." ”

"Grandma, these are three words." Zhong Chunfeng muttered distractedly, causing a row of black lines on Gu Qiluo's forehead: "I said that at this time, you shouldn't care about such a detailed thing, okay?" You still have to think about how to deal with Cheng Tong. ”

Zhong Chunfeng looked like he was about to cry, and thought about it for a while. Only then did he grit his teeth and say in a deep voice: "Grandma, you send me back to the capital, there is no Zeng Yuan in Baiwei Pavilion now." There has to be someone in charge, right? ”

"When we left, it seemed that we entrusted the Baiwei Pavilion to Shi Gui, right? And judging from the letters in the past few months, he has done a very good job, and under the heavy siege of Yan Huilou, not only has it not declined, but it has become more prosperous, in addition to the secret support of the Xiao family and the prince's mansion. It is also enough to prove that Shi Gui is old and serious......"

"Grandma, I don't have the heart to analyze Shi Gui with you at this time." Zhong Chunfeng interrupted Gu Qiluo and choked up, "I'...... I just want to go back to the capital. ”

"If you just want to go back to the capital. No one is stopping you. Gu Qiluo looked at Zhong Chunfeng strangely: "Your legs are on your own body, you just want to go to the ends of the earth, and no one can stop you." ”

"I can't go back on my own."

Zhong Chunfeng's face turned red, and he saw that Gu Qiluo was about to speak. He immediately said, "Grandma, you don't have to ask. In short, I have some involvement with Cheng Tong, I ...... I can't go by myself, I have to be entrusted with something by you, grandma, I beg you, for the sake of our love for so many years, can you do me this favor? ”

Gu Qiluo rolled his eyes in his heart, and secretly said Who has been in love with you for so many years? I've known the Communist Party for more than a year, okay? But Zhong Chunfeng pleaded like this. Naturally, she couldn't see death without help, and thought that Cheng Tong would stay in Liaodong. There is also her own "crow's mouth" to give her a share of credit, and she rarely felt a little guilty in her heart, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I can delegate you an errand." But Spring Breeze, I don't promise you. If you can walk, if you can't, I can't help it. How many means does Cheng Tong have, I think you know better than me, right? ”

Zhong Chunfeng did know better than Gu Qiluo, and he also knew in his heart that as long as that fatal thing was still in Cheng Tong's hands, the possibility of him leaving Liaodong was very small. However, it was like a desperate person who wants to grasp a straw when he sees it, and he nods his head without hesitation.

It's just that things in the world always go against people's wishes, obviously Gu Qiluo has arranged an errand for Zhong Chunfeng here, and let him go to Jiangnan to build that trade line on behalf of Xiao Gu Shanzhuang and Wang Yue'er, because Zhong Chunfeng is a person from Jiangnan, this reason can be said to be very natural and powerful, Gu Qiluo feels that even if Cheng Tong is no longer like him, there is no reason to oppose it.

However, she misestimated the other party's cheekiness, Zhong Chunfeng was quickly taken down by the other party before he could pack his luggage, the reason was that Liaodong affairs were complicated, and he needed a staff member, and Zhong Chunfeng was the best candidate. In front of Xiao Jiangbei, Gu Qiluo watched Zhong Chunfeng's little daughter-in-law shed tears, but she didn't object. Even she was speechless, I really didn't know what kind of handle this guy was held by Cheng Tong, and he was so compromised.

Anyway, after all, things were settled like this, and even Xiao Jiangbei felt funny, and said to Gu Qiluo: "When Zhong Chunfeng followed us to Liaodong, he just wanted to give me a reason to give advice. You and I just thought it was a joke at that time, who knew that in the end he really became a staff member, but unfortunately it was not my staff, but Cheng Tong's, what do you call this? ”

When Gu Qiluo heard this, he remembered that this was indeed the case at the beginning, and he couldn't help but laugh and said: "I don't know if that thing was heard when he was down, and now he is forced to speak." That's it, I think Cheng Tong is quite measured, he won't really hurt him, and he won't care about them, and he will be busy next. ”

The days are like flowing water, and in the blink of an eye, summer goes to autumn. While Gu Qiluo was busy laying a solid foundation for Xiao Gu Group in Liaodong, the topics that people talked about in the capital had also changed one after another.

The second son of the Lin family actually married the second girl of the Gu family. After more than ten years of missing his deceased wife and refusing to renew the strings, the master of the Xiao family finally lost his life and married his stepfamily. And then this lady is actually a very powerful heroine, and the Yanhui building in the capital is the property of this Mrs. Xinxiao. It can be said that although Gu Qiluo and Xiao Jiangbei went to Liaodong, thanks to this new lady, the center of the topic in the capital is still the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, and even in the summer, the youngest princess of the emperor's majesty finally got married, and for a time there were thousands of empty alleys, but it did not shake the position of the Xiao family to lead the tide of rumors in the capital.

This year's autumn in the capital is rainy, and in September, it has rained several times in a row. Although the rain is not heavy, but an autumn rain and a cold, this is not yet the middle of September, but the autumn cold is already refreshing, and some people even wear sheepskin jackets on the street.

Aunt Xiang stood under the plane tree in the courtyard in a daze, and didn't know what she was thinking, suddenly heard the sound of footsteps behind her, she turned around, and saw Li Shi coming in with two girls, so she hurriedly stepped forward, and said angrily: "You have been recuperating for a year, and now you have only seen better, why did the weather come out like this?" Now that Dr. Ying is not here, if he is infected with the wind and cold, and then those quacks are cured, how can he have to pay for the loss? ”

Li smiled: "It's okay, I know my own body." Now that I don't feel any pain in my body, I think I don't need to take those medicines anymore, so I might as well save my money......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Aunt Xiang solemnly say, "Nonsense." On that day, Dr. Ying clearly said that this medicine should be taken for three years, and you are a poisonous gas in the womb, so you should not take it lightly. You've only been taking it for a year now, why can't you refuse to take medicine because you're strong? Didn't Grandma leave money for you when she left? ”

Li sighed and said, "Although you left me the money, I don't know what the situation is in the mansion now?" Even Sister Cherry made her secretly bad and left in anger. My aunt can stay in the house now, trembling and living, but it also depends on the old lady's toughness, but the old lady is old after all, in case there are three long and two short, I really can't imagine it...... So I thought it would be better to be frugal now, and stay up until the second brother and the second brother and sister come back, maybe we can still have a way to live, otherwise, I'm afraid that if we don't know it, we will be calculated to death. ”

Aunt Xiang was silent, and she said softly for a long time: "You don't have to worry about the affairs in the house, there are still old men and old ladies on the left and right, it is important to take care of your body." I don't believe we won't be able to survive even two years, and after two years, the second master and the second grandmother should also come back. ”

Li Shi laughed miserably: "My aunt, do you still want to rely on us to survive for two years?" Still thinking that the master will make the decision for us? You don't count, from the time she entered the door to now, has it been half a year? What has become of this house? As for the master, it stands to reason that my daughter-in-law should not say such disrespectful words, so I only told my aunt that now the lord has already blinded her, not to mention that she has made those virtuous and generous appearances in front of the lord on her face, how does the lord know the yin damage behind her? I just went to my aunt's place, and I saw that their livelihood was really difficult, and you also know that although my aunt had been an official in Yangzhou, he had two sleeves and no savings, and now he still relied on the care of the stone shopkeeper in Baiwei Pavilion, and I heard that this was the arrangement made before the second brother and sister left. I left them a few dollars, and it was easy to persuade Sister Cherry to accept it, during which I mentioned the second brother and sister, Sister Cherry and I cried, when can we look forward to her back? I can only land with this heart, otherwise it will be too late, and I am afraid that I may not be able to see her......"

"Why do you say such depressing things in a dignified manner?" Aunt Xiang hurriedly interrupted the Li family, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Anyway, she still has to pretend to be virtuous in front of the master now, how can she not do things desperately, you take medicine to recuperate, and you can always wait until the second master and the second grandmother come back." ”

Li wiped his tears with a handkerchief, nodded and said: "I can wait, I'm just afraid that the third brother can't wait, our grandfather came back to tell me that she fell in love with the daughter of the Gong family for the third brother, and the lord asked our lord for advice, but our lord blocked it for the third brother, but the lord also said that our lord did not have a long-term vision, and asked me to say, if it is delayed, I am afraid that this matter will be a certainty, what can I do?" ”

Aunt Xiang frowned tightly this time, and it took a long time before she exhaled and said: "The old lady's meaning is to ask the third young master to be with her cousin, and now that she has inserted a bar, she may not be able to get her wish." Anyway, I told the old lady the news, and the old lady always had to ask the old lady, let the old lady delay it for a while, and then I wrote to the second master, how to say that the second master is also the old man, if he writes against this matter, even the old man has to think about it. (To be continued......)

PS: While Jiangbei and Qiluo are living happily, the Marquis Mansion in the capital is already in dire straits, whew!
