Text Chapter 357 The Gu Family's Young Man
(PS: Today's first chapter!) οΌ
It wasn't until dawn that Xie Shence woke up leisurely, washed up and had breakfast, and no one bothered him.
But Xie Shence didn't think that this matter was over.
Sure enough, just when Xie Shence and his party waited for Miss Murong to go downstairs, they made an appointment to enter the city together today, and as soon as they left the inn, they waited for a team of people to surround Xie Shence and the others.
"Who held my cousin captive?"
A teenager younger than Cao Nian shouted on his horse. Although he is young, he is the leader of several people after all, and he has some courage, and in terms of dress, he is more noble and ...... than Cao Nian before Have all one's goods in the window.
The excessively long willow sword, the hollow gold scabbard, and the hilt of the sword are still hanging with wishful long spikes. Even in September, he is still dressed in tasseled narrow sleeves, wearing a jade crown on his head, pink face and red lips, although there are fine beads of sweat, he is still quite delicate.
and sat on a thin white horse - it's not that the rich and noble family can't afford to raise it. The horse Xie Shence estimated that it would cost at least four thousand taels of silver. At this time, the young man sat on the horse with his chest upright, his eyes were sharp, and he was extravagant.
Xie Shence casually glanced at the young man on the horse, and he could roughly guess his net worthβor the net worth of his family, must be one of the dozen or so families at the top of Wuxi City. Otherwise, how can he be richer and more able to spend money than Cao Nianshao?
But at this time, Xie Shence admired this young man a little.
Cao Nianshao must have a lot of friends, but he has been in an accident for so long, and no one has come to save him, presumably someone smelled something, in this case, whether the young man has designed a trap or knows that there are tigers in the mountains, it is a very righteous thing to come to the rescue.
"Just how many of you can tie up my cousin? It's also a man, in this way, Young Master Ben doesn't care if you are a lackey of the Zhang family or a child of a traveling big family, as long as you let my cousin go and ensure that he has no less than a single hair, Young Master Ben will pay three thousand taels of silver to make friends with you. How is it? β
The young man was still on the horse, sitting very upright, looking at Xie Shence, and said.
As soon as these words came out, Xie Shence was really impressed by this young man with a good skin.
Well, it's not like you're looking for trouble.
is not relying on the strength of the people to forcibly rob, nor relying on the forces behind them to suppress people, but a very regular negotiation of the rivers and lakes, just this point, it is much higher than the children of the same rich family.
Apparently a master who knows how to judge the situation.
Since people said so, Xie Shen Cele took advantage and said: "Since this is the case, according to the words of the little master, Mao Xiaosan will lead the way and teach Cao Gongzi out." Dare to ask the title of the little master? β
The young man listened to Xie Shence's words, there was no joy on his face, he waved his hand to let the people behind him dismount, and followed Mao Xiaosan into the inn to bring Cao Nianshao out, and then said lightly: "This young master's surname is Gu." β
After a pause, the boy asked, "What about you?" β
Sure enough, the surname is Gu, Xie Shence guessed correctly, this young man is not only a member of the top family in Wuxi City, but also the Gu family, the largest family today, and it seems that he is still a descendant.
Sure enough, it came out of a big family, although the pride was incomprehensible, but the etiquette was still eight or nine points. It's a lot stronger than Cao Nian.
Xie Shence commented on the Gu family boy because from the meeting to the end, Cao Nianshao never asked Xie Shence's name, but the young man replied and asked Xie Shence's name, although his tone was very uncomfortable.
But that was already a rarity for him.
So Xie Shence said with a smile: "Young Master Gu is invited." My surname is Xie. β
The Gu family's young man's eyes changed, and he asked, "Is it which cousin of the Xie family?" If you think you might have seen it, why don't you report it? If it is true, then it is the cousin of the Cao family who offended his own family. β
Xie Shence shook his head slightly and said, "Definitely." β
I think it was the young man of the Gu family who regarded him as a disciple of the Huaiyang Dao Xie family, so he asked this question.
The young man of the Gu family glanced at Xie Shence suspiciously, and then found that he had indeed not heard of the Xie family going out to travel recently, so he said: "In this case, this is a silver ticket of 1,500 taels, Young Master Ben went out in a hurry, and only brought so much, when do you enter the city and where do you stay, Young Master Ben will send someone to deliver the silver ticket after he goes back." β
Xie Shence couldn't help but sigh at the young man's atmosphere.
So he rubbed his hands and took the silver ticket handed over by the young man's entourage, counted them, and said with a smile: "How embarrassing are you?" We entered the city at about night and stayed at the Hujia Inn in Xuanhuafang, south of the city. β
The young man of the Gu family looked at Xie Shence's way of counting the money, frowned, and said, "In this case, don't pass it." β
Cao Nianshao has been helped out, and it seems that he has not suffered, but his body is dirty, he has been in the cellar for a long time, and he has not eaten all night, and he is very pale and haggard.
When Cao Nianshao saw Xie Shence, he was about to get angry, but he saw the look of the young man of the Gu family towards him, so he obediently closed his mouth.
Xie Shence saw this scene in his eyes and couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
Cao Nian was lawless in the Cao family, even his brother-in-law Gu Shunning couldn't control him, no one could control him, but he didn't want to be afraid of his cousin who was a few years younger. It seems that one thing descends another, and the result is true.
Cao Nianshao was abused by Xie Shence and needed to rest, so the Gu family boy arranged for everyone to rest in the inn, Xie Shence and others collected 1,500 taels of silver tickets, then put away the package and prepared to enter the city.
Miss Murong's goods were detained by Cao Nianshao's borrowed hand from the government, and she wanted to enter the city in order to get the goods back, considering the power of the Cao family, especially the power of the Gu family behind the Cao family, it was probably not so easy, and it took a lot of effort, so she brought her luggage.
A few people were about to leave, but they heard the young man of the Gu family say: "Young Master Ben already knows about Miss Murong's goods, and he has greeted the Yamen side of Beicheng in advance, if they want any benefits to let them go, report my name Gu Shunxing." β
Miss Murong hurriedly thanked her, and Xie Shence once again sighed that the young man was generous, even if he was not inferior to Gu Shunning.
Wait, Gu Shunxing?
Isn't that Gu Shunning's youngest brother?
That Gu Shunxing, who is known for his genius?
Xie Shence glanced at Gu Shunxing's back, and under the fame of his heart, there was indeed a real person.
After Cao Nianshao washed, he was checked by the doctor brought by Gu Shunxing, and after concluding that the injury was not serious, he ate something, and after finding Gu Shunxing, he said, "Cousin, that person ......"
"What's wrong with that guy?" Gu Shunxing was holding a pen and paper and writing something, without raising his head, and said, "Cousin can't get back to the field?" β
This kind of rhetorical question basically represents your own meaning, do you want to get back to the field? No, I don't.
Cao Nianshao said a little unwillingly: "It doesn't matter if he snatched Murong's slut, he also injured me, this breath is unbearable!" If that's it, how will I mix in Wuxi City in the future? This field must be recovered! β
"Smack!"
Cao Nianshao was taken aback.
Gu Shunxing slapped the table heavily and shouted, "Woman, face...... Cousin, sober up! Don't you know what time it is? The Zhang family is pressing on my Gu family step by step, and there is a tendency for the business to catch up, and now the competition for business outside the city is even more fierce, everyone's eyes are staring at us, do you dare to make trouble? β
Cao Nianshao muttered, "This, what does this have to do with me? I just want to, I want to have a woman, but that's not okay? β
Gu Shunxing snorted, turned his head angrily, and didn't look at Cao Nianshao's blank face.
His cousin, the eldest brother-in-law, does have a set of business, but he is indeed a bit of an idiot in other aspects, otherwise he would not have been tied up and locked in the cellar. It's just that the entire Gu family, except for a few people, this cousin is the only one who can make him feel sincere.
This stems from the fact that one night he was blocked by a masked man in black at the entrance of the alley, and his cousin, who was not a few years older than him, tried his best to block three knives for him, and almost lost his life and roots.
It is also for this reason that even if Cao Nianshao is fooling around outside without any scruples, the Gu family can wipe his ass for him.
Gu Shunxing was angry, but he had to say patiently: "My Gu family is quite tightly defended, and the Zhang family has always wanted to give my Gu family a hard time, but they can't find an excuse." If you make such a fuss, you just cheapen them, so that you can take the opportunity to make trouble. This matter is small, but I am afraid that if they bite all the way, it is likely to bring out something else at that time, and then it will be troublesome. So cousin, no woman's face is as important as long-term silver, do you understand? β
With such an explanation, Cao Nianshao also understood, and admired this cousin's cleverness very much, but he was still a little "reluctant" to ask him to give up Murong and the young man of the Xie family all at once.
Gu Shunxing saw his cousin's thoughts, so he said: "Cousin, since Miss Murong is a merchant on this road, she will naturally have a chance to see each other again in the future. As for the young man of the Xie family, don't move. It is better to have the opportunity to accompany the gift in person, and it can be resolved. β
Cao Nianshao thought that he would be able to meet Murong next time, so he naturally didn't listen to Gu Shunxing's second half of the sentence, and Gu Shunxing also knew that he might think too much, so he didn't mention it again.
That young man, could it be that person? I think I saw him from afar when I was in Kyoto Taixue, but at that time he was still young, and he was not famous, four or five years have passed, and the impression has long been blurred, and he can't be sure.
Whether it is a professor or not, Gu Shunxing is not sure, so he can only write a letter and let the eldest brother who has seen the professor take a look.
Because the big burden of the seized goods was removed, Miss Murong was very happy along the way, and said a lot of things to Xie Shence, Xie Shence also enjoyed talking to this woman, except for secretly guessing how ugly she was to make him a little uncomfortable, in fact, ...... It's pretty good!
Xie Shence shouted in his heart, if he had met a girl when he went out before, how good it would be. That's what travel is all about!
What is the meaning of travel? It's not about how many people you kill, how many troubles you solve, how much credit you get, it's not about how many roads you walk, how many scenery you see, and what kind of mood you have, but what kind of girl you will meet!
That's the biggest thrill, okay?
After coming out so many times, this time is the most comfortable.
Xie Shence did not forget to explain to Wang Jiehua a little while being secretly cool: I am here to help others, she has to pester me, she can't be very rude to drive people away, right?
Xie Shence's careful thoughts, if Mr. Yang, who is lagging behind, knows, he will definitely be criticized silently - what girl has to pester you? It's you who have been pestering other girls to ask if it's okay.
Mao Xiaosan glanced at Zhuo Fourteen and said in a low voice: "Childe is really merry and happy. β
Zhuo Shishi was just about to answer, but Mr. Yang's two intentional coughs made them immediately shut up and concentrate on catching the car.
