After secretly throwing countless 'help' glances at Cheng Xiaoyi to no avail, Gu Bei's heart was cold......

However, Gu Bei felt that he still needed to rescue ...... Cough, cowardice, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, I prefer to go to the tiger mountains! He wasn't that great, he wasn't that courageous...... Knowing that a hungry tiger king in front of him was waiting for him with ten little tigers, he still had no brains to move forward, that was 'really' stupid.

Therefore, Gu Bei thinks it's better to be stupid! It's 'fake' stupid, first compromise, and then report it in the future, so he simply coaxed, "Shibo, let the brothers not be so diligent, and they will have to ...... later." Hehe~" The words mean that there will be business to discuss later, and after speaking, he looked at the wine glass that Cheng Dalang toasted in the third round.

Cheng Wushu learned from the literati and stroked the beard with a steel needle piercing his hand on his chin like a hedgehog, this action reminded Gu Bei of the words 'Mu Monkey and Crown', only to hear Cheng Wushu smile and say: "Virtuous nephew, you don't have to be polite, when you arrive at Cheng's mansion, it's the same as your own family, sons, do you hear?" The virtuous nephew blames you for not being diligent and enthusiastic enough. In the end, his tone was already dissatisfied, so he almost pointed at his son and scolded.

Cheng Wudi deserves to be the first hob of the Xia Dynasty!

It lives up to its name~

'Don't be so diligent' put two words in his mouth, and it became 'not diligent enough'.

Not only is there one word missing, but the word 'diligent' is in it, but the meaning is very different.

The Cheng brothers heard the dissatisfaction in their father's words, for fear of being settled by the Autumn Queen, so Gu Bei fell into the encirclement of ten hills, and a new round of toasting war began.

The weather was already hot, and the body of the top ten mountains was already strong, even if he sat still, sweat would come out of his body, and suddenly an unpleasant sour smell entered his nose, almost not letting Gu Bei spit out the previous dish.

Gu Bei had to suspect that this was definitely designed by Cheng Wudi before, and the purpose was to make him only drink and not eat.

For the Cheng family brothers' 'rice bucket physique', he was eye-opening before, as the Cheng family brother's Lao Tzu, Cheng Wushu, whose physique is twice as big, will the 'rice bucket physique' be weakened? He didn't believe it, Gu Bei, who thought he had seen it through, added two words 'stingy' to Cheng Wushu in his heart.

Gu Bei picked his fingers in his heart and quickly calculated, hob, black belly, old fox, big mountain, plus stinginess, is there a total of five or six......

Forget it, in order to deal with them as soon as possible and take a breath of fresh air, Gu Bei also fought hard, and when the wine was dry, his face did not change after ten cups, and he also won a round of applause~

"Yes, it's really a good amount of alcohol~"

"Good~"

“......”

For their praise, Gu Bei smiled unceremoniously, and returned the salute one by one, thinking about whether to let people make a cup that can only hold a drop of wine after they go back, and let them see what it means in the future

A thousand drops are not drunk,

Ahem, a thousand cups are not drunk......

"Brother-in-law, it's really a good amount of alcohol~"

An abrupt urn sound came, and all eyes suddenly turned to the person who spoke, Gu Bei looked over and was happy.

is really worthy of being the 'ancestor' who realizes the slow half beat after realizing it

Cheng Shilang!

In the eyes of everyone, the nine brothers of the Cheng family were sympathetic, Cheng Xiaoyi's instant shyness, Mrs. Cheng's eyes were difficult to understand, and the face of the black-faced man Cheng Wudi became darker and darker, looking as uncomfortable as constipation......

cough, Gu Bei's eyes ...... Of course, it is gratitude, someone absorbs the 'firepower' for him, and there is nothing but gratitude left.

"Cheng Shilang, what are you still doing? Don't hurry up and go back and sit down. "Cheng Wuving's face changing skills are rich, bruised and purple, and finally he couldn't hold back and broke out.

"Father, the child is toasting." Slow half-beat patriarch Cheng Shilang was not slow at all at this time, replied quickly, and drank a glass in front of everyone with an empty wine glass.

Cheng Wushu turned on the face change mode again, the bruising and black changed for a while, and finally returned to normal black, I don't know if Mrs. Cheng's two-finger Zen below worked, or if it was indeed the soft underbelly of the waist that was caught......

After Cheng Shilang drank the empty glass of wine, he smiled at everyone's eyes, grabbed his brain and returned to his seat.

At this banquet, Cheng Wushu had no intention of getting drunk with Gu Bei, and Gu Bei guessed that he was probably full.

The eyes of the ten brothers of the Cheng family also shifted to the table, and no one was caring about Gu Bei, and they were naturally happy.

It is worth mentioning that Cheng Shilang's action of grabbing vegetables is not slow at all, and even the nine brothers can't grab him.

Gu Bei was grateful to Cheng Shilang for his unintentional relief before, and toasted him a few more glasses, and when Cheng Shilang grabbed the food, he didn't look at holding the empty wine glass and drinking three glasses in a row, which made the corners of Gu Bei's mouth twitch for a while, it was true

Lao Tzu is a hero!

If the sons are like this, will the father be far away?

There is an old saying that 'the small looks at the big', the small body sees the big body, the son is like this, so does the father often drink fake wine?

Thinking of this, the corners of Gu Bei's mouth twitched more and more frequently, I don't know if I want to laugh or want to laugh?

In the end, Gu Bei pinched and pinched his thighs, and finally held back, and his little white face was flushed, so that Cheng Xiaoyi, who had been secretly paying attention to him, thought that he was complaining again, uh, fever! Several times I almost stuffed the rice into my nostrils.

made Mrs. Cheng more and more worried about her daughter, as one of the eleven hearts that fell from her body for ten years of pregnancy, the pearl of the Cheng family, the only baby daughter, suddenly one day she was no longer kissing her father, and she was all about a man, and Mrs. Cheng didn't know how she had mixed feelings in her heart.

It's really a woman!

Mrs. Cheng felt sour in her heart, the little cabbage that she had carefully cultivated for more than ten years, persuaded her day and night for more than ten days, but she was no match for the arrival of a Gu Bei. As soon as Gu Bei arrived, even she, a mother, could feel her daughter's happiness from the bottom of her heart.

After the banquet was over, in the study.

The two sat opposite each other, and Cheng Wuving, who became serious, seemed to be a different person, not lazy, hippie and smiling, exuding a burst of iron-blooded aura in his bones, as if he was an invincible commander in the army.

There was a dullness in the air, and after a long time, Cheng Wushu opened his big copper bell eyes that could shock people, and asked, "Who do you suspect did it?" ”

"I don't know, no clue."

Gu Bei looked at the hardcore henchman of the old man in front of him, the number one person in the army, and shook his head.

Let's be honest! He really doesn't know, how long has he been in this era, and he doesn't even know the context of officialdom.

"But I don't think it's simple, there may be a bigger organization behind the scenes, or it may be just a group of small thieves." After pondering for a while, Gu Bei said the guess in his heart.

"Nephew, do you think a few little thieves can have such a careful plan?" Cheng Wushu opened his voice in a loud voice, he didn't believe that he was just a little thief, he knew more information in the army than Gu Bei, and the current Ying Tianfu seemed to be calm, but in fact, there was an undercurrent, and even he had to be careful to deal with it.

The Holy Lord put him in the Heavenly Mansion with the capital, but it was not just as simple as cooperating with the old man to guard it.

Cheng Wudi thought about it and thought that it was so that he could take over from his old grandfather to guard Ying Tianfu in the future, after all, his old man was old and his energy was lacking......

There is a deeper meaning, although the emperor didn't say it, but he also understands it......

If you don't see it through, I believe my husband can understand it.

"Virtuous nephew, be careful in everything lately." Whether it is a world friend or a business partnership, he feels the need to remind him.

"Xie Shibo!"

For Cheng Wudi's kind reminder, he bowed to express his gratitude and left.

Walking out of the gate of Chengfu, Gu Bei sat in the rickety carriage, only to remember that he forgot to put the piece of fabric back secretly, and hurriedly took it out.

Cheng Xiaoyi returned to his boudoir after eating, and suddenly remembered something, and there was a sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the room......

How could it not be seen,

Where the hell did it go?

"Meng'er, I learned to be a female celebrity with my mother these days, and a handkerchief embroidered is missing, and you take it away from time to time?" Cheng Xiaoyi thought that she was put away by the personal maid Meng'er, and called Meng'er to ask.

Meng'er looked at the messy boudoir that had been turned over and shook her head.

Strange thing! Didn't Meng'er take it or whom? She remembered it before she went out......

Cheng Xiaoyi thought about it for a while, and suddenly remembered that his brother-in-law was also in the boudoir today, could it be him......

Thinking that it was taken away by her brother-in-law, Cheng Xiaoyi's cheeks were hot and she thought about it.

How is the brother-in-law ...... In this way, although it was also given to him after the embroidery, how could he take it without permission? What a real ...... Be...... Shame on people too.

Gu Bei opened the fabric in his hand, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he finally didn't have to bear the title of stealing female thief.

Gu Bei looked at the pair of animals embroidered on the white handkerchief, it was very incomprehensible, it was a duck! It's not like it, it's fatter than a duck, it's not a duck, and I can't find any animal that can correspond to it.

Is it a new variety? Or is it a mutant duck he hasn't seen in this era?

Think about it more and more likely, I didn't expect the breeding technology of this era to be so developed, and I really can't underestimate the ancients!

Gu Bei looked at the pair of mutant ducks on the handkerchief, hid them like a treasure, and decided to ask Xiaoyi next time, where can I get this mutated duck.

This fat duck has more meat at first glance, and it is his favorite, after all, it is a mutated duck, and if modern cooking technology is used at that time, it will drool when you think about it...... After all, the lady eats too many supplements during pregnancy and also needs to change the taste.

He was confident that he could make this mutated duck into any flavor that the lady wanted.

On a street somewhere in Yingtianfu, Xiao Ran pointed ahead and said, "It doesn't seem to be the way to go back." ”

"That road is blocked, go here quickly, listen to me, that's right."

When the carriage arrived on the street on the bank of the Qinhuai River, Gu Bei waved his hand, jumped out of the carriage, and said, "Lao Xiao wait here, I'll be back immediately." ”

By the time he said this, he had already walked towards a familiar painting boat.

It may be that there are fewer customers during the day, and most of the painting boats are moored on the bank, but there are not too many customers in the teahouse by the river, because the consumption of the teahouse is not low, which virtually blocks most people out.

At this time, at the window of the teahouse, several young people glanced outside, and saw a figure walking towards the painting boat, and one of them couldn't help but chuckle at the moment.

"Heh, another one who doesn't know the height of the sky."

After everyone's eyes looked over, there were a few more whispering voices.

"I'm afraid I haven't recognized myself yet."

"If Miss Pity Dream is so easy to see, how can I sit here and drink tea?"

"When he eats a few closed-door soups and understands that he has come, I'm afraid that there will be another tea drinker here."

"He's already Aunt Bai, if you want to see Miss Mercy, you can see him?"

Several people did not hide the smiles and sarcasm on their faces, and they who had eaten countless closed-door soups could already imagine the appearance of that guy being kicked out.

Gu Bei didn't notice the sight of a few jokes in the teahouse, and stood at the bow of the boat for a long time before stepping towards the hall.

Xiangxiang heard footsteps coming from the hall and said, "It's all said, it's not the last few days...... Uh......"

She looked up, and in the middle of speaking, her eyes widened and her voice became quieter, and she wiped her eyes.

Gu Bei tugged at her face, full of elasticity and collagen, and asked, "Is your young lady here?" ”

In the teahouse opposite, after waiting for a while, the figure did not come out, and several young people widened their eyes at the same time.

"Why didn't the guards stop him?"

"Why hasn't he come out after all this time?"

He ...... He's not really going to see the Dream Girl! ”

"Why is he?"

A voice of surprise and disbelief sounded, and the sarcasm in the hearts of several people immediately turned into jealousy and anger.

They have also visited countless times, not only have they not seen the dream girl, but they have never even stepped on the painting boat, so why can they go up by any person.

One of them stood up and angrily asked the guard of the boat, "Why didn't you stop him?" ”

The two guards saw a young man come up and ask loudly, and glanced up at him faintly.

"Get out!"

Apparently suffering a lot from these two guards, the young man retracted his head and walked away.

Xiangxiang asked in surprise: "Gu Gongzi, you have come to see Miss!" ”

Gu Bei nodded and asked, "What about your young lady?" ”

"Miss went out early in the morning, I don't know when I'll be back......" Xiangxiang looked at him and added: "Gu Gongzi, you sit here for a while, and I'll pour you tea." ”

Seeing Xiangxiang running fast, Gu Bei did not sit down in the hall, but walked upstairs.

When he came to the boudoir of the dream, he pushed open the door and walked in, and the furnishings inside were still the same as before, and there was no change.

When he turned to leave, he turned his head again and picked up a painting on the table, the content on which was a young man barbecuing, holding a roasted chicken wing in his hand, Gu Bei looked at it for a long time, and put the painting back in its place.

Xiangxiang walked in with a cup of tea and said, "When Miss went out, she didn't tell when she would come back......

"Out of the way." Gu Bei took the teacup, sat on the round stool of the mahogany father, took a sip, and put it on the table.

His eyes looked around, and after a while, he turned back to Xiangxiang and smiled, and said, "When Lianmeng comes back, remember to say that I will leave first." ”

Gu Bei walked out of the hall, got off the painting boat, got into the carriage, Xiao Ran glanced at him, and said, "I just asked people to go over and see it, and the road is not blocked." ”

Gu Bei lowered the curtain and said, "It's been blocked." ”

In the small courtyard, Qing'er bent over and put her ears on Bai Luoshi's slightly bulging lower abdomen, and only raised her head after a while, wondering: "Why don't you move......"

"It's only been a few months, how can it be so easy to hear." Gu Bei pinched her face, it stands to reason that at this time, there should be fetal movement, but it may be the reason why Luo Shi likes to be quiet, and the little guy doesn't move much, he leaned his head over, "I'll listen to ......"

Qing'er stood beside Gu Bei, with her hands behind her back, leaning forward and looking curiously, her eyes blinking.

Bai Luoshi looked at him with a smile on her face, her current life was quiet and tranquil, and she liked it very much.

At this time, Gu Cheng hurriedly broke in and said, "Brother Bei, good news...... As soon as he came in, he saw Brother Bei leaning on Miss Bai's abdomen, and seeing this warm scene, Gu Cheng stopped his mouth.

Bai Luoshi saw that it was his cousin who came in, pushed Gu Bei away, nodded to Gu Cheng with a smile, knowing that they had something important to say, he got up and took Qing'er back to the room.

"What's the good news?"

Gu Bei glared at his cousin very unhappily, such a warm scene was finally created and destroyed by Gu Cheng.

Gu Cheng didn't care, and said with a smile: "Brother Bei, look at what this is?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and opened it in front of Gu Bei, only to see the snow-white crystals in his hand one by one, with different shapes, very similar to modern rock candy.

"This, this is saltpeter? Where did it come from? Tell me how you found it? After Gu Bei took it, he carefully identified it, and found that it was indeed the saltpeter he had been looking for, and he grabbed Gu Cheng's shoulder excitedly and asked.

With saltpeter, it means that you can make your own ice, and you don't have to store ice cubes in the winter, and you don't have to save money in summer, do you think he can not be excited? And after saltpeter is used, it can be reused after drying. With saltpeter, it is not a problem to want to eat popsicles in the summer.

The weather has been too hot these days, and the storage of ice cubes in the house is insufficient, so in order to save some ice cubes for the old man's use, Luo Shi has not put ice cubes in the dessert for a long time.

Gu Cheng told Gu Bei about the 1510 saltpeter he found.

It turned out that after Gu Bei didn't let him go to the store the day before yesterday, he suddenly became idle, had nothing to do, and was about to come to the house to ask Brother Bei to arrange for him to do something, when he passed by the garden, he heard two maids talking in a whisper, Gu Cheng had a bad taste and planned to get closer and eavesdrop.

As soon as he heard the keywords such as 'Brother Bei is looking for' and 'rewarded', he was discovered by the maid, who knew that Gu Cheng was her uncle's cousin, and hurriedly saluted.

Gu Cheng was particularly interested in the word 'reward', waved his hand, and hurriedly asked: "I just heard from you, what is Brother Bei looking for, what is the reward?" ”

The two maids glanced at each other, and one of them stood up and said, "Uncle launched the whole house to look for something, and I heard that there is a lot of reward for finding it." ”
