Chapter 10 The man is very good, and he is dressed in fine clothes
"What does Madame have to say?"
"Madame didn't say the specific details, but asked me to tell Lang Jun and prepare in advance."
"Oh?" Xu You's eyebrows jumped, feeling a little bad, and said, "What are you going to prepare?" ”
"Madame said that things have changed, and although she didn't lose this time, she didn't win!"
No wins?
When Xu You heard this sentence without a beginning or an end, he couldn't guess what Zhan Wenjun meant, and let her go to rest first, and then talk about it in detail. He Wei came to him again, talked about the words of no loss and no victory, and said: "Qiyi, what do you think happened in Wu County?" ”
He Wei thought for a while and said, "The worst-case scenario may be that the king of Jiangxia and the crown prince have negotiated the conditions, and on the grounds of releasing Guo Mian, they have given up some things......
Xu You nodded and said, "It can only be like this, whether it is the crown prince or the king of Jiangxia, it is not time to completely turn his face." Compromise is the inevitable result! ”
"With this result in anticipation, I'm just curious, with the violent temper of King Jiangxia, what will he give up under the coercion of the crown prince?"
Two days later, Zhan Wenjun and his entourage arrived at Qiantang, but they passed through the city gate and did not enter, concealed their whereabouts, died down, and went directly to Mingyu Mountain from the path outside the city. After a brief freshening up and resting for a while, Zhan Wenjun came over to see Xu You in person and said, "Uncle Lang Jun asked Lang Jun to come over and talk about it." ”
Xu You went out side by side with her and said in a low voice: "The situation has changed? ”
Zhan Wenjun looked around and said, "It's too late to elaborate, if your uncle asks you what you want, no matter what you want, just say it." ”
Xu You was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Zhan Wenjun's side face, as if he wanted to see something from her face. However, Zhan Wenjun's expression was as usual, and there was no abnormality as he imagined.
"What's wrong?"
didn't hear Xu You's answer, Zhan Wenjun looked over in surprise, the two of them looked at each other, she immediately understood what Xu You was thinking, her eyes showed a look of shame, and she said quickly in a very low voice: "You...... Don't come nonsense......" After speaking, he didn't wait for Xu You, quickened his pace, and walked to the courtyard in the distance first.
Xu You's heart beat wildly, but he also knew that Zhan Wenjun shouldn't mean that. No matter how early the Chu State is, it will not give its daughter-in-law as a gift in return. Thinking about Zhan Wenjun, he wanted him to open the lion's mouth, don't be polite to Guo Mian, if he can get more oil and water, he can make a little more, and he will settle down in Qiantang in the future. Anyway, for Guo Mian, money is just a number, and a little leakage between his fingers is enough for Xu You not to worry about his livelihood anymore.
This is the routine of the rich lady taking care of the poor scholar in "The Legend of the West Chamber", oh, no, it should be the bloody drama of the poor male long-term worker of the rich young lady in "Red Sorghum".
Xu You looked at Zhan Wenjun's back, shook his head and smiled, but he was thinking about how he would talk to Guo Mian so that he wouldn't look too ugly. Anyway, his skin is thicker than the city wall of Qiantang County, if Guo Mian really takes money as a thank you gift, but those who come do not refuse, the more the merrier, the kind of person who is arrogant and disdainful of blockage, is a fool whose head was kicked by a donkey.
Get paid according to your work, and there is no shame in any time!
This is not the first time Xu You has seen Guo Mian, last time in Changhejin, Guo Mian sat on the rich and compelling Jinjing boat, through the dense bow of the boat, Xu You took a look at it from afar, but he didn't see his face clearly, he had a big belly and poop, bare chest and breasts, and he was very famous.
Sitting opposite the room this time, Xu You finally had time to look at this Guo Dajia, forty years old, with a white face and beard, a dignified appearance, calm and energetic eyes, a huge body, sitting in the chair like a mountain of meat, giving people great pressure.
Huge people, beautiful clothes!
"Qilang, I have an old acquaintance with General Yuxiu, and I have heard him mention you many times, and when I see it today, it is really famous." Guo Mian's voice is on the thin side, not as deep as that of ordinary middle-aged men, but it is not surprising that many fat people have the same voice.
"Guo Gong praises falsely, you really don't dare to be!" The pain in Xu You's eyes was clearly visible, and he said: "The fifth uncle had more than 20 swords in his hands that night, and more than ten knives in his body, and he still stood ......."
Xu You's fifth uncle, Xu Jin, whose name is Yuxiu, once served in Jingzhou. Jingzhou belongs to the territory of the King of Jiangxia, Guo Mian may not really have an old relationship with Xu Yuxiu, but just the art of climbing relatives and talking.
Guo Mian sighed and said: "The change of Yixing is really painful for the relatives, and the enemies are fast!" Some people disregard the general interests of the country for their own selfish desires, even if they are not as good as beasts. ”
Xu You got up and bowed down, crying: "For my Xu family, I am full of grievances, thank you Guo Gong for speaking up." ”
Guo Mian hurriedly picked up Xu You, his thick and fat palms were full of strength, not comparable to those rich businessmen with fine clothes and jade food, his eyes looked up and down, and said: "I look at Qilang's extraordinary instruments, and the Xu family will inevitably be prosperous in ten years, and General Yuxiu will know it, so he can laugh." ”
Xu You lowered his head and said: "You has been stubborn since childhood, but he is not a middle-aged person, and I am afraid that Guo Gong's knowledge of people will be hurt." But if you are lucky enough to have that day, it all depends on the help of the elders in the family. For example, Guo Gong, if it weren't for the coincidence that I stayed in Mingyu Mountain, I am afraid that I would still have no fixed place in Qiantang now......"
Since Guo Mian said that he and Xu Jin were old acquaintances, and there was a meaning of avenging the grievances of the Xu family in his words, Xu You naturally climbed the snake and climbed the pole, and suddenly promoted him to the status of an old friend.
Guo Mian was obviously stunned, and then smiled, not taking Xu You's careful thinking to heart, and said, "If Qilang doesn't like it, call me Uncle Shi." ”
Xu You started from Zhibinlou's involvement in the case of the loss of deer breast, and the ultimate goal was to get involved with Guo Mian. I didn't expect that in a few words, there would be a friendship between the world.
Of course, this is also because of the previous things, so it can come naturally, otherwise when he first came to Qiantang, he would have come to the door, and Guo Mian would have been able to deal with Xu You.
"Uncle Shi!"
Guo Mian casually took out a gold ring from his middle finger, handed it to Xu You, and said, "I can't let you call Uncle Shi in vain, this ring has been with me for many years, it is not valuable, but it can ensure that you turn evil into good fortune." You are far away from Yixing, temporarily living in Qiantang, and you will have to go through some hardships in the future, with this ring, at least you can make the charm and spirit not close. ”
The ring is also the ring, and the rule of greeting gift does not know when it originated, but Xu You knew that such a thing as a gold ring had existed in the Han Dynasty. In the "Taiping Yulan", the "Book of the Later Han" is quoted as saying that Sun Cheng and other nineteen people have meritorious service in Emperor Shun, and each of them is given a gold ring. It shows that since then, the ring has been regarded as a gift to the meritorious and has a certain cultural symbol, just like ancient Rome.
Guo Mian gave this gift, in fact, it was just to reward him!
A businessman who does not learn and has no skills will not have such knowledge and ingenuity.
The so-called elder giving, dare not resign, Xu You can only take it, the hand is heavy, it should be made of pure gold, the outside of the ring is engraved with two strange fish shapes, the fish lips are opposite, the fish tail is butt, the lines are bright and vivid, and the carving is extraordinary.
At this time, gold was the most valuable currency, not to mention this kind of gold, which can be called a work of art, and its value far exceeds the price, and it is a valuable collectible.
The slush shocked Guo dog slave, and the shot was really extraordinary!
"You deserve it!"
Guo Mian waved his hand and said, "If you didn't help Grandma this time, not to mention the Zhan family's family business, even my old life would be in the hands of Liu Lao Thief." It's nothing, it's just a little bit of a trick, so I'll make you a plaything! ”
"Grandma?"
Guo Mian's eyes flashed, and seeing that Xu You didn't seem to be a fake, he smiled and explained: "Qilang doesn't know, Auntie is Wenjun's small character, when she was still in the boudoir, I recognized her, and since then, I have called her in small characters, and over the years, I have become accustomed to it." ”
"I see! But I thought badly, thinking that this was Guo Gong's affectionate name for Song Girl......" Xu You suddenly woke up, Guo Mian's question was really difficult to guard against. He must have known from Concubine Song that he had a close relationship with Zhan Wenjun, and Zhan Wenjun said too many good things about himself in front of him, so this Guo dog slave became suspicious.
Unlike men's font sizes, women's small characters are rarely known to outsiders unless they are close to them. It is normal for Guo Mian to use Zhan Wenjun's small characters to test him, and anyone who knows that his daughter-in-law has a too close past with other men will be furious, especially since he has placed too many high hopes on Zhan Wenjun, and will never allow her to have irreparable things with Xu You.
Xu You secretly called lucky, although he and Zhan Wenjun occasionally had some ambiguous feelings, but when the two got along, they were mostly discussing business, and they were so anxious that they had no energy to communicate on other matters. Otherwise, it's hard to say, whether Zhan Wenjun will tell the small print.
Concubine Song is the singer of Guofu, although she is favored, but her status is low, Xu You has the intention of changing the topic and fighting back a little, but it is not offensive. Guo Mian was really not surprised, and laughed: "Divine concubine, I like her snow the most, so I often call her slush!" ”
During the Six Dynasties, celebrities talked about Fengyue, which was an elegant thing, not to mention the stock room, that is, the bed room, and it was often used for music and wine. Xu You also smiled and said, "After listening to Guo Gong's words, you can't drink slush wine in the future...... It's a pity, it's a pity! ”
"Hahaha, Shichiro, Shichiro!"
Before Xu You came to see Guo Mian, he thought a lot and guessed a lot, but Guo Mian in front of him was approachable and amiable, without the atmosphere and style of an upstart, and his speech and demeanor seemed to be natural only in the world. But thinking about his incomparably stylish Jinjing boat, as well as the scene of silk paving the ground at the mouth of the Changhe River and the maids like clouds, the contrast is so great that people almost suspect that they have met a fake Guo Mian.
There is no doppelganger technique in this world, of course Guo Mian will not have two, so there is only one possibility left: the nouveau riche style of arrogance is just an illusion, and it is a disguise to show outsiders. Guo Mian in front of him is restrained, calm as a mountain, and his speech seems simple, but there are mysteries everywhere. Its practical heels also know that a person who can shoulder the heavy responsibility of the king of Jiangxia and build a boat pavilion and a spring well in the land of Sanwu can really be a vulgar and unliterate businessman who sells millet for profit?
Just like the dark Yao, he has a face that can turn into anyone, Guo Mian doesn't have this ability, but he can become two people with completely different personalities.
The face can only be hidden from the eyes, but the character can be hidden from the world.
Compared with the dark death, Guo Mian is the real terrible!
