"But don't be mistaken about that." Cai Yu said, "Although she studied hard night and night, what she could read was never anything 'serious', and it was then that I knew that there is such a kind of person in this world, and their heads are different from the heads of our ordinary people." ”

"What books does she like to read?" Gu Yuancheng asked with interest.

"Well...... this" Cai Yu recalled her past days in the academy, and replied, "From the subset of scriptures and history, to the old road of Qihuang, down to the lonely book of forbidden books, myths and miscellaneous talks, as long as she finds it useful or interesting, she will read it, and she will dabble in a wide range of topics, I am afraid that only Du Rong can compare with her." ”

In fact, he used to think it was strange that people with extraordinary talents like them were like a sponge touching water when they learned things, and they were simply out of control, but they didn't like that kind of serious things, and they always liked to see some 'crooked ways'.

I remember one time, when he slept after practicing martial arts, he was pulled out of the door by Shen Qingzhi, and pulled all the way to the front of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, at that time, Du Rong had been waiting for them in front of the pavilion for a long time, and the reason why Shen Qingzhi wanted to pull him out was because during that time, the master inspected the academy and checked tightly, and he had to help ventilate and report the news.

As a result, the next day, the two of them were in good spirits and had no abnormalities, but he was severely punished by the master for not being able to sleep while the master was lecturing, although in the end the punishment was borne by the two of them, but now that he thinks about it, he still has a feeling of gnashing his teeth.

"That night, Qingzhi read a book, and was in high spirits, and when he saw me come in through the window, he pulled me to tell the story of 'Dong Lang and the Seven Daughters' for one night, so that I didn't even hear what the master said the next day, and it was the time of the test, and I took the test directly, and I was severely punished by my father when I went home, and since then, I have never dared to provoke her."

"In that case, why did your friendship become so good in the future?" Gu Yuancheng asked.

"Because she borrowed ten taels of silver from me, and she hasn't paid it back yet." Cai Yu replied to him.

Ten taels of silver?

Will the eldest young master of Cai Mansion be less than ten taels of silver? In the final analysis, it's just 'people gather like like', cherish each other, and naturally become friends.

Gu Yuancheng laughed in a low voice.

"Brother Gu is willing to listen to me say so many irrelevant things, he must also be interested in Qingzhi?" Cai Yu took a sip of wine and asked him with a smile.

"Got in the heart?" Gu Yuancheng raised his eyebrows, "Brother Cai, I don't understand what I'm saying." ”

"It's okay if you don't understand." Cai Yu looked at Gu Yuancheng, the wine in his hand shook gently, and under the moonlight, Shuo Yingying said, "Brother Gu only needs to understand in his heart." ”

"Compared with others, I am very optimistic about Brother Gu."

His eyes lit up, and Gu Yuancheng squinted slightly, "Brother Cai, don't you mind that I'm from Qi Kingdom?" ”

"Aren't the Qin State and the Qi State about to form an alliance? The two countries consider themselves family. Cai Yu didn't say it to the bones, but he said it lightly.

"Brother Cai's ability is also a genius in the world." Gu Yuancheng didn't answer his words, and said something that seemed to be unacceptable, and then got up and prepared to leave.

"Brother Gu." Cai Yu called Gu Yuancheng.

Gu Yuancheng looked back at him.

"Maybe it's really up to people to succeed, but in the end it's still in the sky, I'm very optimistic about you, but there is always a limit, too much."

Lowering his eyes slightly, Gu Yuancheng smiled faintly, brushed his sleeves and left.

The next day, I got up early in the morning and knocked on Gu Yuancheng's door, originally I wanted him to go to Wu's house with me and Cai Yu, but I didn't expect Gu Yuancheng to say that there was something to do, so I could only go with Cai Yu.

"Master Wu." I saluted Wu Zhong.

Wu Zhong invited me and Cai Yu to sit down.

"Miss Shen, is there anything important that you came here today?" After someone served tea, Wu Zhong opened his mouth.

"Master Wu should know something about the several murders that happened in Village Chief Liu's house, right?" I said.

"We are outsiders, so we shouldn't have interfered in this matter, but because the matter involves the head of Bosa Village, the people of Bosa Village are not very easy to take over this matter, so Village Chief Liu entrusted this matter to my cousin, but he has other urgent matters today, so let's learn some information from Master Wu."

"I just don't know if it's convenient for Master Wu?"

"It's not convenient or inconvenient." Master Wu smiled politely, and ordered someone to bring some refreshments up, "I heard that you girls outside love to eat snacks, and it just so happened that I just sent someone out to do something yesterday, these are all brought back by the way, two girls try it." ”

I turned my head and quietly glanced at Cai Yu, and politely declined, "How embarrassing is this?" I'll just have tea with my cousin. ”

"The girl is polite, I don't eat these sweet things, the children in the family are still young, and they can't eat them, these snacks were originally bought to greet guests, so the girl shouldn't refuse." Nuwa Library

"Then we might as well be respectful." I smiled politely at Wu Zhong, picked up a piece of pastry and gave it to Cai Yu next to me, and I picked up another piece and took a bite.

It is Su Kee's dim sum.

My eyes lit up, and I couldn't help but take an extra bite.

"How, but still have an appetite for the girl?" Wu Zhong said with a smile.

"These snacks are really delicious, they must be very expensive, right?" I held back my heartache and forced myself to put down the remaining half of the snack in my hand.

"It's just some snacks, since the girl loves to eat, let's take them all, come on, pack up all the refreshments left at home, and give them to Miss Shen in a while." When Wu Zhong saw me, he knew that I liked these snacks very much, and immediately ordered someone to bring them to me.

I was slightly stunned, but I didn't say anything polite.

"What happened to Village Chief Liu's family, I also heard what people said, but I don't know what the two girls came to my house to ask?" Without waiting for me to ask, Wu Zhong actually took the initiative to bring up the matter.

I smiled a little and pushed out Cai Yu, "I'm a person who doesn't care about anything, it depends on my cousin, Cousin Gu told my cousin everything he wanted to ask." ”

Cai Yu followed my words and said to Wu Zhong, "Cousin asked me to ask you, at the end of last month, you have never been at home and never gone out?" ”

Wu Zhong looked at Cai Yu, thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "I have never been out, last month was the day to worship Posa Jun, and every household in Posa Village rarely goes out." ”

"Haven't you been out much this month?"

"Yes." Wu Zhong replied, "The children in the family are still young and cannot leave anyone." ”

"Master Wu is a person who is doing business outside, right?" Cai Yu asked with a smile.

Wu Zhong took a sip of tea, put down the cup and said, "Yes, I have some business outside, but I have gradually handed over the business to my brother to do, so I have rarely left home in recent years." ”

"I see." Cai Yu nodded clearly, "Originally, I have always wondered, why don't you go out, Master Wu, after all, you still have to run around." ”

"The girl looks young, but she knows a lot about business?" Wu Zhong has done a lot of business, and his vision is naturally different from others, and the reason why he treats us so politely now is that he naturally sees that we are extraordinary, but there are some things that he can tolerate with one eye closed, and some things are still clearly explained.

"It's just scratching the surface." Cai Yu saw that he deliberately said so, so he knew what he meant, so he asked him directly, "Master Wu once competed with Village Chief Liu for the position of village chief?" Listening to others, it seems that the Liu family used what means in private caused you not to become the village head? Now that the Liu family has suffered one disaster after another, I am afraid that you will not be able to escape the involvement. ”

"I expected this day to happen." Wu Zhong didn't react much to Cai Yu's aggressive words, just sighed lightly, stood up, and paced two steps above the lobby.

"What do you mean by that......"

Cai Yu glanced at me as if unintentionally, and I was stunned in my heart and silently took a sip of tea.

"The turmoil didn't stop back then, and now there will be waves again, and there are some things that can't be avoided." Wu Zhong seems to have something in his heart for a long time, but he doesn't want to say anything to us outsiders, and after sighing, he diverted the meaning of the words, "Although I fought with Liu Wenna for this position back then, after all, after many years, I can't hold a grudge against him for the rest of my life, and the things that happened in his family have nothing to do with me." ”

"Can anyone prove it?" Cai Yu asked.

Wu Zhong waved his sleeves and pointed to the servants in the family, with a calm expression, "They can all prove that if the girl wants to, she can ask at will." ”

Cai Yu hesitated a little, and only said after a while, "You should also understand that they are all servants of your Wu family, if you want to convince them, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult." ”

"Then I have no other basis, but if the girl is willing, I believe that the girl will be able to prove my innocence." Wu Zhong didn't know why, but he believed in Cai Yu very much, and what he said had the meaning of asking Cai Yu.

"Those who are clean are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid, if you are really upright, you naturally don't need to worry." Cai Yu did not clearly express the implied meaning of Wu Zhong's words, and only said such a sentence on the scene.

"Master Wu." I suddenly interjected, "If you can trust us outsiders, can you please tell us about the situation when you and Village Chief Liu competed for the position of village chief?" I think if we can learn more about your grievances, maybe we can settle the current rights and wrongs more quickly. ”

"Miss Shen is very concerned about what happened back then?" Wu Zhong looked at me, and his eyes were shrewd after years of accumulation.

"If you have any concerns, we won't continue to ask questions." I didn't dodge or dodge, and looked back at him with a smile on my face.

Wu Zhong fell silent for a moment, he thought for a long time, Fang returned to his seat and sat down, but although he was moved, he still refused to easily reveal the secret that was unknown back then.

"It's been a year, and I've almost forgotten it."

"In this case, we will say goodbye first, if there is anything in the future, I am afraid that I will come back to visit and disturb, I hope you don't mind."
