Chapter 11 (43) The Second (3) Day of the First Lunar Month
Poyang Hou Gushi is coming?
Shang Chengleng paused. He didn't go to Lao Xu Guozi's house to have this lunch, because he didn't want to meet Gu Shi, lest Gu Shi pull him to explain the matter of pulling the bias frame on the Zichen Hall yesterday; Why would Gu Shi be so unreasonable, and he actually ran away in person? He Gu Poyang must have the means to protect himself in the whirlpool; But this guy is safe and sound, so he can't jump out and harm other people's things, right?
"I don't want to see him." He answered in his study. He took two punches and kicks to finally find Yang Liehuo and Gu Poyang, the two big opponents, with the name of one enemy and two sitting, "Hun people", how could he let Gu Shi turn the good situation of being alone and strong into a one-on-one competition between him and Yang Du in just a few words?
After a pause, he added, "You said I went to hunt rabbits outside the city to practice bows and arrows." He had a point. Look, he is a fool, but he is not a reckless man who only knows pleasure and revenge, he understands that the situation he is in is very difficult, and he also wants to divide and win over the enemy, but it is a pity that because he is worried about shooting a bow in the outer garden of the day after tomorrow, and wants to earn some performance in front of the Son of Heaven, he ran to sharpen his gun in a hurry, and as a result, he missed the great opportunity to disintegrate the enemy and win over his helpers......
After sending Duan Si away, he turned his face to General Su and said, "You just said that Yang Liehuo had a past, what happened?" ”
"Huh?" Lao Su's mouth opened widely, and he spoke several times before he uttered a sentence, "The general is really, he is really beautiful!" As he spoke, he gave a thumbs up, admiring with emotion. Lao Hou was also full of admiration, and he couldn't stop smacking his tongue and admiring: In the Manchu Dynasty, in addition to General Shang, who else dared to say "I don't want to see him" to Gu Shi's visit? Needless to say, Su Po and Hou Ding, sitting on the chair and pulling out half of their bodies straight, and pinching the knuckles of their fingers with the two hands on their knees.
Shang Cheng waved his hand absently. Looking at the expressions of Su Hou and the others, he knew that they didn't understand the truth; He certainly won't explain it to them. He asked Lao Su again: "What is Yang Liehuo's past?" ”
"The general knows Chang Xiu and Chang Wenshi, the squire of the Ministry of Works, right?" Lao Su asked.
"Yes." Shang Cheng nodded.
"Then you must also know that after Chang Wenshi was admitted to the Jinshi, he first worked in the Hanlin Academy, right?"
"It seems to be a master of Hanlin, right?" Shang Cheng raised his face and thought about it. He heard Chang Xiu talk about this once. At that time, Chang Fatzi's expression was quite complacent, and it was a great honor to say that the new science and technology jinshi could confer the bachelor of the seventh grade of Hanlin Zhi. "Is the position of a penkeeper or something?"
General Su didn't know about this matter, and he knew that Chang Xiu was first in the Hanlin Academy. He first flattered Shang into a sentence: "The general is indeed knowledgeable." He also said, "Chang Wenshi is a person who writes and poems, and his temperament is uninhibited, so he has a lot of friends." That year, an acquaintance of his didn't know where to get a painting of Li Yong's handwriting, so he took it to him for appreciation, but Chang Wenshi was dazzled, regarded a fake as genuine, and signed and sealed the scroll. In the end, this character somehow reached Yang Liehuo's hand, and Yang Liehuo treated it as a treasure......"
Before he could finish the story, Shang Cheng raised his face and smiled. He'd heard the rest of the story before. The scammer's forged "Li Yong Imitation of Lan Pavilion Preface" was finally exposed, and both the buyer and Chang Xiu lost a lot of shame, even if Chang Xiu bought the fake from the buyer out of his own pocket to cover his face, the buyer still spread the word unrelentingly, so that Chang Xiu couldn't raise his head in front of people for a long time. He just didn't know that the person who was deceived was Yang Du. It's no wonder that Chang Fat's face is unnatural every time he hears someone mention Yang Du, it turns out that this is the case!
After Lao Su finished telling the story, of course he had to say two words. He was about to expose Yang Liehuo's vassal elegance, greed, lust, and ruthless ugly face, Duan Si said outside the door again:
"General Yu: Marquis of Poyang said that he will sit in our mansion and wait for you to come back."
Shang Cheng was stunned at that time. This Gu Poyang is really ghostly! But he didn't have much to do in a hurry, so he had to say to Su Hou and the others apologetically: "I'm really sorry." Originally, I said that I would invite you two to have a light meal at my place, but who knew that there would always be interruptions. Why don't we go out of the city and hunt together? ”
Lao Su and Lao Hou both stood up. Lao Su said: "To be able to accompany the general to hunt once, it is unbelievable!" ”
Shang Cheng laughed and said, "Okay! Then let Gu Poyang guard the plant here, and let's go rabbit hunting! ”
Everyone laughed at his refurbished idiom.
Duan Si outside the door said very scenously: "General Yu, Gu Hou has arrived at the mansion!" As he spoke, Gu Shi's enthusiastic voice sounded in the courtyard: "Uncle Ying, I heard that you got up early and went to hunt rabbits outside the city, I don't know how the harvest is?" With Ying Bo's skillful bow and horse, he must have gained a lot if he wants to come! ”
The lie was exposed on the spot, and Shang Cheng had no way to avoid it, so he had to go out to meet Gu Shi. He glared fiercely at Duan Si, who was helpless by the door, and said to Gu Shi with a smile: "Oh, Gu Hou, Jane is slow!" You're too, why didn't you send someone to say hello before coming to my house? Fortunately, I came back early, otherwise I wouldn't have let outsiders say that I was blind and didn't know what to do, so I dared to turn you away? As he spoke, he waved his hand and invited Gu Shi into the study, but he stood in front of the steps without moving his steps, and kept looking behind Gu Shi's back for the New Year, you are here to apologize and explain, you can't come empty-handed, right?
Gu Shi returned the salute with a smile, turned around and said, "Cicada, why don't you hurry up and give your merchant brother a salute?" "Look at your merchant brother, you're in a hurry!
With one sentence, he made himself suffer two dumb losses in a row, and the smile on Shang Cheng's face suddenly became more ugly and ugly. He sneered and gave the cicada a gift indiscriminately, and said dryly: "I just got home, don't forget to ask for a gift when you turn around." "According to custom, those who can ask for gifts on the New Year's Festival are dolls who have not grown up, and he gives gifts to the little cicada, of course, he sees her as a female baby; By the way, I will pull my own generation back to the uncle of the older generation.
Although Xiao Cicada didn't understand the words hidden in his words, she could always hear the meaning of treating her as a girl. Her face was red, and she didn't know what to say. Gu Shi smiled, and scolded his daughter first: "Why don't you hurry up and thank your merchant brother for his kindness?" He stared at Shang Cheng again, took a long breath and spit it out again, and said, "It's rare for Zida to have a heart...... Nodding as he spoke, shaking his head again with a long sigh, and muttering "Rare, rare", he stepped up the steps first.
Shang Cheng suddenly opened his mouth and stammered. His face was the color of pork liver, but he couldn't even get half a word out of his mouth. He took a moment to react, he really can't afford Gu Shi's words! When he opened his mouth, he wanted to explain a few words, but in the blink of an eye, Gu Shi's old man had already pushed the door into the house by himself. Looking around again, the little cicada was so ashamed that he couldn't even raise his head, Su Hou's two veterans and Su Pohou Ding, they all stood still as if they were thundered, and their faces were stupid, one by one, it was obvious that no matter how much he defended, it was in vain, they were faithful to Gu Shi's words!
Take you old thief!
Shang Cheng hated so much that he wanted to jump up and scold!
"Zida, it's windy outside, why don't you invite guests into the house to sit quickly?" Gu Shi's voice came from the study, "Old Su Laohou, please come in and sit." And the two boys of your family, come in too. ”
Shang Cheng stepped into the study with a black face and a few steps. Gu Shi was really unkind, he had already sat in the main seat by himself, ignored him, and greeted the guests who followed up first: "Old Su Laohou, if you two can be promoted to the county mansion of Zida, you are naturally not outsiders, don't be restrained, just sit down and talk slowly." Little Cicada, why don't you pour tea for your two uncles and two brothers? One by one, you also sit. ”
Shang Cheng didn't sit down. He stood in front of the door, clenched his fists tightly, and stared at Gu Shi with squinted eyes. He still hasn't made up his mind whether to use force or not. Fuck him, this old thief in the valley is too much to deceive!
But he really couldn't find a reason to do it. Yes, Gu Shi is holding up the shelf of elders, but he and Gu Shi's son-in-law Guo Biao are commensurate with brothers, so they don't compare each other's ages, and the old guy is also an elder in front of him. The old guy didn't have a face himself, and kept saying what he and his daughter were like, but he didn't refute a word, because every word of the people was pointed, but there was not a single sentence in place, what did he refute? Damn, this old fox is so cunning that he can't even find a reason to kill this old horseman!
He gritted his teeth with hatred, but he had no way to take Gu Shi, and finally had to sit down at the bottom of Gu Shi with his head down. Suffering from the sissy plague, he can only sit here! He can't sit at the head of Su Hou and the others, right?
Gu Shi turned a blind eye to his annoyed face, looked down at the white steam rising from the porcelain cup in his hand, and paused for a moment before slowly speaking: "Zida, I know that you are angry with me no matter how angry you are......"
Shang Cheng had already scolded in his belly. If you are careless, you will be taken advantage of by Gu Shi, a bastard! Knowing that he was in this situation, he should have gone out to shoot rabbits today. Alas, he blames himself for speaking of it, at the banquet last night, Li Mu also invited him to go with him to participate in some poetry meeting today, but he was afraid of making a fool of himself, so he politely declined Li Mu's kindness; But it's a fart to lose face at the poetry meeting, and what can you suffer more than being taught a lesson in your own home? Look at it, Gu Lao Pifu should be holding on to his identity as an elder and accusing him of not having a dispute with Yang Du in the Zichen Hall yesterday......
“…… But it's not me saying you, you really shouldn't have a dispute with Yang Du in the Zichen Palace. ”
Shang Cheng held the tea cup in his hand and stared at the green bricks under his feet expressionlessly. He had already made up his mind, Gu Lao Pifu dared to accuse him half a sentence again, and he swore that he would have to smash this thing on his head! Anyway, he is a guy who even Yang Liehuo dares to provoke, where are he afraid of beating Poyang Hou again!
But Gu Shi only said one word to him, and the words changed abruptly: "However, then Yang Du should really fight!" To tell you the truth, I have a long-standing grudge against him! ”
The father and son of the Su family and the father and son of the Hou family almost thought that they had heard it wrong. Who else in the military doesn't know that Yang Du and Gu Shi are actually wearing a pair of pants, why did Gu Shi suddenly jump out to accuse Yang Du, and it sounds like the grudge between the two people is not light?
“…… At the beginning, Yang Du hated Zida for being an orchid, and I persuaded him. But this person not only didn't listen to the kind words of persuasion, but insisted on acting recklessly, and even intensified, fabricating Zida's rumors everywhere and spreading Zida's reputation in all directions, ruining Zida's reputation, and teaching people to think deeply about their hatred. Fortunately, my little cicada is quite sensible and can distinguish right from wrong; It's not in vain what I teach her every day. ”
Lao Su and Lao Hou nodded together, and they both praised Gu Shi's good tutoring, and the little cicada girl was sensible.
Shang Cheng hated itchy, but he was still at a loss. There's no way, Gu Shi's old puppet doesn't leak anything! Or would he just tear his face regardless of it?
Gu Shi humbly said a few words to the two founding marquis, then turned his face and asked, "Zida, it's also boring for everyone to sit and talk dryly." When the two old generals visited, didn't you have any preparations in your house? ”
Shang Cheng said dryly: "I was about to go out of the city to hunt and catch a few rabbits and come back for dinner." "Still thinking about eating noon? You dream!
"There's no hurry. It's still early, so it's never too late to eat and go again. Gu Shi said, "Can General Duan Si be outside the door?" ”
Duan Si hurriedly pushed open the door and came in.
"General Duan Si," Gu Shi completely regarded this Ying Bo Mansion as the Poyang Marquis Mansion, looked at Duan Si and asked, "It's already noon, please go and inform me, just say that your general is going to have a banquet in the mansion, and let them quickly prepare a good banquet." ”
Duan Si was lying on the crack of the door just now and eavesdropping, he had already laughed so much that his stomach and intestines were knotted, but now he listened to Gu Shi's instructions, and he didn't answer, so he went directly to Shang Cheng with his eyes.
Shang Cheng gritted his teeth and snorted from his nose, stared at Gu Shi and said almost word by word: "Gu Hou is not afraid of being delicious and indigestible?" ”
Gu Shi didn't understand what "digestion" meant, but he didn't have to think about it to know that it was definitely not a good word. But his main purpose today is to teach outsiders to know that the "grudge" between him and Shang Cheng has been resolved, and he originally planned to let the old Xu family come forward to invite. It doesn't matter if Shang Cheng is a guest at Lao Xu's house, anyway, he has to meet Shang Cheng today; Even when two people meet, it doesn't matter what they say, they have the ability to fabricate facts and spread rumors one by one, as long as they are a big general. But when he heard that Shang Cheng's family had guests, it was still the old Su family and the old Hou family in the forbidden army, so he changed his mind and specially asked people to go home and call his daughter to come over. What a good opportunity, just borrowing the mouths of the old Su family and the old Hou family, showing his attitude of being closer to Shang Cheng between Yang Shang, as for the reason for being close to Shang Cheng, of course, it must fall on his daughter. What made him even happier was that Shang Cheng actually helped him build a ladder and build a wooden bridge in a hurry, and connected the words seamlessly according to his wishes...... Oh, look at other people's skills, no wonder Lao Agni wants to use him as an opponent!
He was amazed in his heart, and he couldn't help but show a sincere smile on his face, and said to Shang Cheng: "Since I came to eat once when you moved to celebrate your housewarming last time, I still miss the food and wine in your house. The cicadas have spoken in front of me I don't know how many times. ”
Shang Cheng immediately shut his mouth......
When he went to the side hall to eat, Shang Cheng walked beside Gu Shi and whispered viciously: "Gu Hou, you have the ability!" Are you really not afraid that this meal will not be able to eat? ”
Gu Shi smiled without saying a word. Anyway, his harvest today far exceeded his previous estimates, so what is it to let Shang Cheng be sarcastic at this moment?
Gu Shi put on a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and Shang Cheng did not have any way to take him. He couldn't help but think, he didn't have a thick skin, he didn't have Zhang Puduo, and his words were not as fat as Changxiu's, so he simply resigned to become a big landlord in Yingxian County due to "illness......
