Chapter 34: Back to my mother-in-law's house
After telling Ke Jingcheng, Gu Beijun walked to the street to find Xi Mo, who was waiting for him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Along the way, he recalled Ke Jingcheng's words just now.
Finding evidence of the Xi family's crimes and digging up the backstage of the Empress Dowager Xiao is a major event for Gu Beijun to secretly spend Chen Cang on the plank road in Ming.
Four years ago, Gu Beijun came to Yucheng to open a commercial street, doing business in the open, and secretly pushing the boat down the river to start with the wealthy Xi family, step by step to search for the relationship between the Xiao family and the henchmen, and then find the evidence of the death of the Empress Dowager Xiao, Gu Beijun walked on thin ice in the business of Yucheng and the capital.
In the palace, the Queen Mother Xiao Yun is in charge, the emperor Gu Che is not her own son, the mother is strong and the son is weak, so she has always been ambitious, Gu Che is young and has no real power, but he knows that looking for his own backer to ensure that the Gu family sits firmly, Gu Che's most trusted person is the son of the fourth uncle Gu Jin and the fourth uncle, cousin Gu Beijun. So the current pattern was formed, Gu Jin fought wits and courage with the Empress Dowager Xiao in the government, Gu Beijun abandoned politics and business, and went to Yucheng to run a business, and he secretly opened the Drunken Flower Building and the Food Hall The purpose is to attract all kinds of dignitaries and nobles from the capital, and find out the true strength of the Empress Dowager Xiao's party, in order to one day exterminate the Empress Dowager Xiao's party.
And in this matter, Ke Jingcheng, the eldest son of the wealthy businessman Ke family in Beijing, is one of the insiders. He was good friends with Gu Beijun, and in the past four years, outsiders have always thought that the owner of the Zuihualou and the Food Restaurant was just Ke Jingcheng, the son of a wealthy businessman.
Gu Beijun knew that if the Xiao family knew that the Zuihualou and the Food Taste Hall were opened by the Gu family, they would not go at all, let alone have any tricks leaking out.
"Xi Mo."
Gu Beijun unconsciously spit out Xi Mo's name as he walked.
She is Xi Zhongyun's baby daughter and the eldest lady of the Xi family, she should not have married Gu Beijun. But Empress Dowager Xiao had the intention to let Gu Xiao's two families marry, so she advocated marrying Xi Mo to Gu Beijun, Gu Che did not dare to be disobedient, and the fourth prince Gu Jin also persuaded Gu Beijun to stabilize the overall situation, so there was a marriage between the two people.
Originally, Gu Beijun didn't take Xi Mo seriously, but getting along more and more made him feel that a girl like Xi Mo really shouldn't be involved in such a dispute, he was moved with compassion, he thought that if something happened to the Xi family, he wanted to protect Xi Mo.
"Beijun, here."
Thinking about things in a daze, he suddenly heard a familiar shout, Gu Beijun subconsciously turned around and bumped into Xi Mo's smiling face. The carriage stopped aside, and Xi Mo lifted the curtain on the carriage and beckoned to him.
"Hmm."
He couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth to give her a warm smile, and walked quickly into the carriage.
"What were you thinking so distracted, you didn't even see the carriage parked here."
"I'm thinking about you."
He told the truth, he was really thinking about Xi Mo just now.
"Huh?"
Xi Mo didn't react, he opened his mouth slightly stupidly, and the next moment, he avoided his eyes with a little blush.
Was he thinking about her? Thinking about what she was thinking?
There was some throbbing in my heart, and the inexplicable speed of the heartbeat came from the heart and spread to the whole body. She is a woman after all, and she can't withstand the soft offensive.
"Phantom, let's go, hurry, it's better to be there before midnight."
Gu Beijun didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and told Leng Chen, the phantom who was driving, to him.
"Well, look at these."
Xi Mo felt that the atmosphere of the two people sitting in the carriage was a little stiff, so he took the initiative to find a topic. She pointed to the small pile of things packed and stacked next to the seat, and looked at Gu Beijun inquiringly.
"What is this?"
"We haven't been back for more than a month, you just said that my father urged us, presumably because we didn't visit for a long time, I just saw that you always can't come, so I went to the place next to the pastry to buy some snacks, I heard the Phantom Leng Chen said that it was a good time-honored brand, and there was no one in the capital."
Gu Beijun took a look and nodded calmly, but there was a feeling of emotion in his heart. He has been in Yucheng for four years, and every time he goes home, he never thinks carefully about what to bring back, always thinking that the Four Kings Mansion must lack nothing. The first time, when he took his wife back, Xi Mo actually prepared some intimate snacks.
The result of the carriage galloping was... Xi Mo vomited.
She crossed over, she had never done a bumpy carriage, and today Gu Beijun wanted to shorten the time and ordered the horse to whip up, and Xi Mo vomited uncomfortably.
"Are you alright?"
Gu Beijun stood aside, wanting to get closer.
"Don't come here, I'm fine."
Xi Mo squatted there and rinsed his mouth, his little arms swinging wildly, signaling Gu Beijun not to approach... It's a shame.
"Then let's stay around today, and then leave tomorrow."
Gu Beijun saw that she was uncomfortable, so he kindly proposed.
"No need, it's less than an hour away, if you can hold on, it's good to slow down."
Xi Mo slowly walked over with a slight waist, his stomach was a little sore, and he was a little dizzy.
"Okay, then you hold on for a while, Phantom, and drive slower for a while."
Gu Beijun helped Xi Mo get into the carriage and got back on the road.
...
An hour later, they arrived at the Four Princes' Mansion, and although the time had already passed the time for dinner, fortunately no one in the family slept.
"Young master and young lady, you are back, come in and rest, I will go and tell the master and madam."
For the first time, the old housekeeper saw the young master and young lady go home together, and the young master still had some things in his hands.
Xi Mo followed Gu Beijun and looked around all the way. The day she crossed was the first day after the wedding, Gu Beijun left, and her real body was being lectured by the lord and lady in the main hall at the time, so she inexplicably crossed over. She stayed in the palace for a few days, and got the news that Gu Beijun was in the drunken flower building, she thought he was looking for flowers and asking willows, so she rushed to Yucheng.
Thinking about it this way, it has been more than a month since I left the Four Kings' Mansion.
When they arrived at the main hall, the four princes and their wives were sitting inside.
"Father, mother."
Gu Beijun knelt on the ground and said goodbye.
Xi Mo also knelt on the ground like him, quite a kind of husband and wife.
"Get up, you're tired all the way."
The fourth prince, Gu Jin, was sitting precariously, and this was said by Mrs. Shen Pingting.
"Fortunately, I'm not tired, but Xi Mo is a little uncomfortable. This is what Xi Mo brought back to you. ā
Gu Beijun put the dim sum on the table next to him, and Gu Jin and Shen Pingting nodded with smiles on their faces.
"Xi Mo has a heart, let's drink some tea."
"Thank you, Mother."
Shen Pingting ordered someone to bring the tea to Gu Beijun and Xi Mo, and they were also thirsty along the way, so Xi Mo blew lightly and drank it.
"Gross."
Because she was already motion sick, and the tea on the tea was green tea that she didn't like very much, she only felt a tumbling in her stomach, and she hurriedly ran out.
Xi Zhongyun and Shen Pingting were stunned.
"Xi Mo."
Gu Beijun watched her run out worriedly, and got up and wanted to go out with her.
"Beijun, you sit here, and the people below will take care of her."
Gu Jin spoke, and Gu Beijun did not insist on going.
