Chapter 639: Retreat in the face of difficulties

Recently, Runan City is very lively, so lively that if someone suddenly comes here, they will think that they have come to the wrong place.

The streets of the city are full of traffic, the roads are bustling everywhere, and the doors of several famous big families are crowded with all kinds of people......

"It's just a pity for the Gu family." Someone said with a sigh.

Unlike busy big families, there are more idlers in the city. When I was too idle to do anything, I was reluctant to spend money to go to the teahouse tavern, so I sat on the steps of the street, drinking loose wine and chatting at the same time.

chatting and chatting, it became intense, and there were even good deeds who started a gambling board, and everyone paid money to bet on whose daughter could successfully marry into the Eighth Prince's Mansion.

It's just that, suddenly, someone mentioned the Gu family.

Although the Gu family is not rich and far from being powerful, it has been rooted in Runan for more than two hundred years, and it is still very famous in the hearts of ordinary people.

Moreover, the scholarly family, speaking of which, is better than those nouveau riche.

"I heard that the Gu family has several beautiful daughters, if it weren't for this, then now, those busy people should have a share of the Gu family, right?" Idlers are idlers, they have nothing to do all day long, and they just say things that are not nutritious, do not think it is a big deal to watch the excitement, and are afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

"Isn't it the third room that loses? Aren't there long rooms and second rooms? Someone asked, puzzled.

"Look at your little brother, it's definitely not a local. Long houses and second rooms are not Gu family? In the past few years, the Gu family has fought so many lawsuits, and they have long been poor. Another idler took a sip of wine into his mouth, grinned, showed a mouthful of big yellow teeth, and said proudly.

"Although the Gu family is divided into three rooms, the smell of books is all in the three rooms...... Moreover, the third room has fallen into such a situation, the long house and the second room, even if they are separated, how can they be completed without being affected? It's long gone now. Someone else said.

The obedient man nodded in a deep voice, as if he was very teachable.

However, soon, he laughed and pulled the topic away from the Gu family.

In such a trend, the Gu family was not to be mentioned, which was simply unavoidable, so Gu Ming didn't care. These days, she has been avoiding the door, one is to prepare for the newly opened store in the capital, and design several new sets of tricks.

and the second, it is also to avoid the Eight Princes.

I don't know what he was crazy about, so he stayed and stayed in Runan and didn't leave.

bought a house with great fanfare, not to mention, but also bought a subordinate, and also began to invite those people in Runan City who had a little face to come to his house as guests.

He himself is handsome and handsome, coupled with his noble status, and he is now the most optimistic heir...... As a result, the entire Runan City was set on fire by him.

Only the Gu family is excepted.

Gu Ming gave an order not to let anyone talk about any topic about the Eighth Prince, lest Gu Wang hear it and feel uncomfortable.

From the last time Ning Yuqing unofficially proposed marriage to now, it has been such a long time, and no one has ever come to the door to propose marriage.

Seeing that Gu Ming was from twelve to thirteen years old, she was about to be fourteen years old.

And as soon as the age of fifteen arrives, the woman will be in time.

Most of the women were married after marriage. But now Gu Ming doesn't even have a person to propose marriage, if you want to say that Gu Ming is impossible, it must be impossible.

Even, now he still accuses Gu Ming from time to time, he shouldn't be so picky at that time.

And now, if you let him know, Ning Yuqing's younger brother has come to Runan...... What Gu Wang will do, you really don't have to bother to guess.

Fortunately, Gu Wang is not in good health, so he usually doesn't go out.

It was also because of this that Gu Ming was able to hide the news from him.

However, no matter how much you hide it, you can't hide it from someone who has a heart.

The Eighth Prince has once again come to the door in person.

Unlike the last low-key visit, this time, the Eighth Prince swaggered to the occasion, and brought a whole two carriages of gifts.

The carriage stopped at the gate, and he didn't let the Gu family's subordinates take the things down and transport them in.

wanted to force Gu Ming to open the front door to welcome guests.

As the most eye-catching and high-profile figure in Runanli recently, I don't know how many people are staring at his every move. So, the eighth prince came to the door of the Gu family, and he also ate the matter of closing the door, which soon spread throughout the city.

"What did the Eighth Prince do at the Gu family?" A lot of people are a little confused.

In the hearts of many people, the Gu family was defeated. Now the third child of the Gu family lives in a small house with two aunts and two concubines...... doesn't even have a concubine, what hope is there in this life?

Although there are still a few shops to make money, when these two daughters get married, what will be left?

So, for a while, many people couldn't figure out why.

"That fourteenth mother of the Gu family!" Someone finally thought of the key, "I heard that Fourteen Niang is very beautiful, and two years ago, she caused the eldest son of the county lieutenant and the general's mansion to fight ......"

"How could the county lieutenant win over the people of the General's Mansion?" The person who asked the question must have been a newcomer to Runan for a short time, so he had never even heard of such a big gossip.

"Yes! So the county lieutenant's family was exiled! The officials were also dismissed, and all the family property was confiscated......"

For a while, those who didn't know these things were silenced.

It turns out that he is such a powerful person?

"But why didn't you marry the General's Mansion?" There are still people who can't figure it out.

"How can those big people think the same thing as us?" Someone replied irresponsibly.

However, no matter what happened two years ago, the situation now is that they have gone to great lengths to invite the Eighth Prince to their home to make an appearance. And now, people are waiting at the door of Gu's house, but it has been half an hour, and the Gu family has not opened the door.

Could it be that you plan to let the Eighth Prince go through the side door? This thought frightened everyone who thought of it like this.

How can it be! How could a character like the Eighth Prince go through the side door?

Gu Wang panted and found Gu Ming.

"I heard that the Eighth Prince has arrived in Runan?" As soon as Gu Wang got up, he couldn't breathe well, but he didn't care about his body at all, and just asked Gu Ming.

Gu Ming put down the account book in his hand and nodded.

"Right now outside the gate of our Gu family?" Gu Wang asked again.

Gu Ming hesitated, but nodded.

"Then why don't you open the door and let the house in?" Gu Wang said angrily, "Eighth Prince, you dare to offend? You really don't want to live! ”

Gu Ming said very unhappily: "If he wants to come in, he will enter through the side door." She knew 100% what he was here for, so she specially told Menzi not to open the door, but to leave the side door wide open.

I just hope that he can retreat on his own.
