Chapter 557: Asking for Money and Not People
The man waved his hand: "There's no need for that, I'm just a rough man, I'm afraid of stomach trouble if I eat the brocade clothes and jade food in your high-ranking families." I'm here today to find out about the assassination. Second, I just want to ask, I saved your daughter's life, how do you plan to repay me. ”
People of such a class as Gu Lian have to make two turns when they say something inconsequential to people on weekdays. This man opened his mouth to ask for benefits directly, which really made him a little unaccustomed to it, so he was a little stunned for a while.
The man also seemed to be anxious: "Master Gu, what do you mean by this?" Want to cheat? Just now you kept saying that you wanted to thank me, why didn't you say anything when I opened my mouth? How? Could it be that all the words you just said were used to coax me? ”
After Gu Lian reacted, he hurriedly said: "The strong man misunderstood, I was just thinking about how to repay you." ”
At this time, someone in the crowd began to coax: "The grace of saving your life should be promised to you, Lord Gu, in our opinion, you will marry your daughter to this strong man." Anyway, that night, your daughter also let him kiss and let him touch it, and marrying him can be regarded as a good story. ”
Another person said: "Yes, yes, this idea is right, this marriage can't be wrong." This strong man is a real man, and your girl will marry him, and he will be blessed with endless blessings in the future. ”
Hearing this, Gu Lian was so angry that he clenched his hands tightly in his wide sleeves. Although his daughter is not angry, she is also painful in the palm of her hand, and now she is so humiliated by these people in front of him!
This Xiao Jingchen is really excessive, if he makes such a show, how will they go out to meet people in the future! It's just too deceitful!
When Gu Lian was so angry that he was about to lose his mind, Gu Qian suddenly walked out of the mansion.
Gu Qian saluted everyone: "Everyone, that night, my niece in the family was in distress and her life was in danger, but fortunately this strong man came to the rescue. Because the situation was critical, there were some inappropriate behaviors at that time, and they were all strong men who were eager to save people. The official believes that the strong man has a noble character and has no distractions when he rescues. This is the same as the principle of a doctor who treats the sick and saves people, and when things are urgent, no one will think that it is an indecent thing. Therefore, this official and the entire Zhongxiao Bofu will not forcibly make the strong man responsible for this reason. After all, the age of the strong man looks not young, and there must be a family at home. Although it is indeed a good story to promise each other, if it affects the family of the strong man, it will be a sin. ”
This is reasonable, and it makes those who make a coax feel a little embarrassed.
Who knew that the strong man suddenly said, "When did I say that I have a family?" ”
Clear!
This sentence made all the onlookers widen their eyes, it seems that this strong man came to the door today, in order to let the Gu family's daughter make a personal promise.
"Two Lord Gu, have you heard, this strong man has not yet married, and he is too fateful with your girl."
Gu Qian and Gu Lian immediately blackened their faces, even if they had been in the officialdom for so many years, they were still a little angry.
This man is not from a good family at first glance, no, he may not even be a small family.
Although their loyal and filial piety mansion has been a little weak over the years, it is definitely not something that anyone can remember!
Just as the two were thinking about how to send this man away, the man spoke again: "Don't talk nonsense about you people watching the excitement, although I haven't married, I haven't thought about marrying that Gu Qianjin." ”
The two brothers of the Gu family suddenly softened, and they knew each other.
As a result, before they could catch their breath, they heard the man mutter: "Don't think I don't know, that Gu Qianjin's reputation in Kyoto is not good, and she causes trouble everywhere like a tigress." It's not bad enough for such a woman to marry home. ”
This "muttering" sound, even the Gu family brothers who were a little far away heard it, not to mention the onlookers next to them.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd couldn't hold back their laughter.
Gu Lian was so angry that he almost jumped up and cursed, but was blocked by Gu Qian.
Gu Qian tried hard to maintain his demeanor and said: "The girls of our Gu family are all petted, they don't need to look at other people's faces outside, and they don't need to wronged themselves for fear of offending people, this is the confidence that our Gu family gives them." As for the outside comments, it is just deliberately arranged by someone with a heart, and what the girl of our Gu family is will come from someone to comment. ”
The man sighed indifferently: "Then have you thought about it, how to repay me." ”
Gu Qian smiled: "Whatever the strong man wants, even if he opens his mouth, as long as my Gu family can do it, we will never refuse." ”
The man pursed his lips again, and muttered in a "whisper": "It's nice to say, just now people were just joking, and you changed your face, I'm really blind." I knew that Uncle Zhongxiao Mansion was so small, so I shouldn't have been nosy that night. ”
The people who watched the excitement laughed, and they could see the black faces of the two Gu brothers just now.
It's just nice to say.
The two Gu brothers were really angry and embarrassed, but they could only pretend not to hear, and even more excessively, they had to pretend to smile.
The man scratched his head and thought about it, and stretched out a finger: "Then a thousand taels of silver, if it is more, I am afraid that you will pull a bunch of what you have, one thousand taels is not more and less, your girl should be worth this price." ”
Gu Lian was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, but he was dragged desperately by the housekeeper, for fear that he would make trouble again and make people laugh.
Gu Qian was also so angry that he was going crazy, this man was belittling the girl of their Gu family inside and outside his words, but in front of so many people, they really couldn't say anything.
After all, the saving grace is there, and if they dare to say something serious, these people who watch the excitement, and those who have ulterior motives in the crowd, will definitely spread the word of this matter to the whole of Kyoto. At that time, the reputation of their Gu family will be even more ugly, and the girls of their Gu family will be completely laughed at.
This is Xiao Jingchen's means.
Gu Qian immediately asked someone to take a thousand taels of cash and personally delivered it to the man: "Thank you for the life-saving grace of the strong man, one thousand taels of silver will be offered, please accept the strong man with a smile." ”
The man took out a cloth bag from his waist, poured all the silver into it, then held it in his hand, and made a nondescript gesture towards Gu Qian: "Okay, this is considered a two-clear." But I still have to remember the assassination on your head for the time being. ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to the people who were watching the excitement: "Big guy, give me a testimony today, if something goes wrong in Kyoto these days, then everyone will help go to Suncheonfu to help beat the drum, and you can't let me die in vain." ”
