Chapter Fifty-Eight: Buying and Selling Is Not Benevolence and Righteousness
Not long after returning to the residence, Shishu sent a maidservant to invite him. Xu You knew the reason and followed. Or in the courtyard where they met earlier, Shishu sat on the futon, did not get up to greet him, with a little worry in his eyebrows, and said, "Lang Jun went to the cliff waterfall?" ”
After all, this is Guo's territory, although there is no special person to guard it, but Zuo Yan made a move with that person, making a big noise, as long as Shishu is not blind and deaf, he must have been reported by the people below.
"Yes!" There is no need to hide this kind of thing, and it can't be hidden, Xu You said calmly: "I accidentally entered it when I was playing in the mountain, I don't know if it is a forbidden place in your mansion, and please don't blame the little lady!" ”
Shishu lowered his head, and after a while, he raised it and said, "Lang Jun, I can't call the shots in this matter!" Before you come in, I have sent Pegasus to tell Madame what to do, and I have to wait for her to make a decision. ”
Xu You was stunned for a moment, and immediately guessed that there was a great secret hidden in the cliff waterfall, otherwise the Ten Books would not be so cautious. It's just that what kind of person would hide in the cave behind the waterfall and not see the light of day?
"It's good!" He pondered for a moment and said, "If there is nothing else, I will leave......
"Wait!" Shishu said softly: "Before Madame comes back, please also ask Lang Jun and your subordinates to stay in the room and don't move around at will!" ”
"Oh?" Xu You stopped, stared at the ten books for a long time, a smile overflowed from the corner of his lips, and said, "What does Xiao Niang mean, is she going to imprison me and wait?" ”
Shishu's expression was faint, and he did not have the slightest emotional fluctuation because of Xu You's unkind gaze, and said: "Don't dare, Lang Jun is my Guo family's honored guest, from the lady down, all have the beauty of hanging on the couch to stay guests, but there is no arrogance or inferiority, lest the hospitality be inconsiderate and make the nobles ruined, how can you be imprisoned?" ”
The allusion to the hanging bed is from the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, Xu You has long been surprised by the talents of these maids around Zhan Wenjun, but he will not feel so surprised, and said: "The little lady has a chapter, and she should also know the etiquette." If we are invited, if we can't even do what we do, how can we talk about cooperation and honesty with each other? How can we talk about sincerity and unity, and jointly resist foreign enemies? ”
"Lang Jun was born in Huamen, doesn't he listen to the guest and follow the master? Moreover, there are many jackals, tigers and leopards in Mingyu Mountain, and Lang Jun is noble and noble, if there is a slight mistake, I am afraid that I will not be able to explain to Mrs. ”
"Really? Without Madame's consent, you will imprison me and wait for ......" Xu You's face drooped, and he gently flicked a little dust off the sleeve of his robe, and said, "Aren't you afraid that after Mrs. Guo comes back, she won't be able to explain?" ”
Shishu coughed sharply for a while, gasped twice, and his voice sounded tired, but the perseverance in his words came to his face, and said: "I was instructed by my wife to be responsible for the affairs of the mountain, and if there is an important task to be decided, it is naturally my duty." As for the others, they are not within my consideration, nor within my authority, but if they are to be punished by my wife in the future, I will receive them. It's just that at this moment, Wan Wanglangjun doesn't want me to be embarrassed. ”
Xu You just escaped from the cage of Yixing, and turned his head and got into the other cage of Qiantang, although he was safe, but his freedom was never in his hands, so he was treated so rudely by Shishu, in fact, he was not so angry in his heart. It's just that he is now in a weak position, and his cooperation with Zhan Wenjun only relies on a little ingenuity and insight, which is why he must be even stronger, otherwise it is not the way to get along for a long time.
Xu You let out a long laugh and said: "Xiao Niang is eloquent, first arrogant in the front, and weaker in the back, in fact, there are thousands of ways, but you still have to act according to your will." I'm really sorry, I've been stubborn since I was a child, and you must have heard of the reputation in Yixing, I've never been a person who abides by the rules, today it's so far, it's useless to say more, I'll go down the mountain immediately! ”
After speaking, he arched his hand, turned around and left, Shishu's face finally changed, his hands pressed on the desk, leaned forward, and said, "Lang Jun, wait a minute......"
The door opened and closed, and seeing that Xu You was about to disappear from view, Shishu pursed his lower lip tightly and shouted in a low voice: "Someone, stop him!" ”
Two secret doors flashed out of the originally smooth and unremarkable walls, and four warriors in strong suits came out in response, surrounding Xu You back and forth, with a very respectful posture, but they blocked his way forward.
Xu You stood with his hands in his hands, turned his back to the Ten Books, and said coldly: "If the business is not benevolent and righteous, do you really want to tear your face?" ”
Shishu coughed twice, clapped his hands, and two maidservants with a bun walked over carrying a three-legged ebony backrest Hu bed, the seat was covered with a thick brocade futon, and the happy spider embroidered with gold and silver threads sat down reluctantly, and lifted it to Xu You, the head of the mantis bowed slightly, his hands folded between his chest and abdomen, and said, "Lang Jun is angry!"
Xu You only found out at this time, no wonder Shishu never stood up and saluted from beginning to end, it turned out that her legs were inconvenient to walk, and she was kneeling cross-legged on the Hu bed, although her legs and feet were covered by a pleated skirt, but the part slightly exposed between her left ankle could also be seen wrapped in a thick linen cloth.
"Lang Jun, maybe there is disrespect in my words, but in my heart, I have no intention of treating Lang Jun slowly." Shishu said sincerely: "The cliff waterfall is a forbidden place in the mountains, except for the lord of Lang, only the dumb servants who deliver food can enter and exit. It's also that I don't handle things very well, if I had told Lang Jun earlier, I wouldn't have caused today's misunderstanding. ”
People respect me a foot, I respect people, Xu You is to retreat as advance, otherwise with his city, where will he really be angry? Seeing that the ten books were soft, he was also happy and generous, and said: "The cause is me, and I shouldn't walk around in your place without permission." Well, I'm going to train the storytellers for the next two days, and I'll have no time to go to the mountains, and I'll apologize to my wife again when she returns. ”
This is an indirect promise to the Ten Books, and will not go to the Cliff Waterfall again, the Ten Books know that they can't force anything anymore, can they really imprison Xu You? Let's not talk about his reputation on the Nine Rank Master List, that Zuo Yan is already very difficult to deal with, and there are priorities, for Guo's family, the most important thing at present is not the secret of the Cliff Waterfall, but Guo Mian's life and death!
"Thank you Lang Jun for your understanding, please!"
When Xu You's figure was faintly invisible, Shishu clapped his hands, and another maid came out of the secret door, and asked, "Who is guarding the cliff waterfall today?" ”
The cliff waterfall is so important, of course, it won't really send people to guard it, but the house is full of old people, and they know that the family law is ruthless, since they have ordered it, naturally no one will go to the cliff. So I just sent two people to guard the mountain road, more to drive away insects and beasts, not to prevent people.
"It's Liu Wuzi and Yang Ernu."
"Where are you now?"
"I've been tied up in the spring well, waiting for the girl to fall!"
