Section 29: An invitation from a local tyrant
Looking at the capital, the small conference room of the Financial Authority, the director is rare to be interested, today's morning meeting is a little late, the director's trickle of teachings is like a lullaby, making people drowsy, hearing the third point of the fifth section of the ninth point, Gu Yun really can't stand it, snorted a sigh, how can this escape the condescending director on the stage, he kindly reminded the youngest junior in the bureau, pay attention to rest at night, and will have energy during the day not to have a small meeting and be sluggish, and kind to persuade each other, With his own successful experience, he was taught to maintain the fighting spirit of young people at all times. Gu Yun kowtowed like a worm and nodded, the director took the lead, and the main tone of this meeting became a nagging conference for the elderly to educate the young, as for the original theme, it can be continued tomorrow.
After the meeting, Gu Mu came out with a large stack of documents, this is the work he has to do today, and he has to work overtime again, the leaders really look up to him as a sleepy worm, I also want to go to bed early, but the concubine can't do it. Suddenly, a human face happened to smile at Gu Mu through the stack of documents, Gu Mu was a little surprised, the moment he saw this person, it seemed that the blood in his whole body was activated, and the sleepiness swept away, the man took the stack of documents and put it on the ground, it seems that Mr. Gu is very heavy, Gu Mu is a little embarrassed.
The man said: "Actually, I also have a big project, I need a talent like Mr. Gu, I am in the enclave of Emerald Town, the Reform and Development Office is about to be reorganized to Hongyun Town, I need a director who understands business, I think you are quite suitable, I don't know if you like the Gold Rush Coast in the Grand Cloister area, where there are the best silver beaches, beauties, sharks and ghost boats, life is very exciting, come?" ”
Finally waited for this day, Gu Yun was speechless with excitement, his eyes were full of brilliance, "Then let's go, the time is a little tight, I didn't say hello to you, so I will do the assignment for you, I don't think you mind." After the man finished speaking, he hooked Gu Yun to go out.
Gu Mu looked back at the stack of documents on the ground, "Do you want to hand it over?" ”
The other party also glanced back, smiled and said, "No need, I think those things are just right there, let's go." ”
Su Yibo's Mansion, Jiang Qingyang begged bitterly: "Mother, I want to go to Xiya City to study, I know that the tuition fee is very expensive, when I become a magician, I will work hard to repay the tuition, mother, you have always been very supportive of me, please, can you talk to my father again, I don't want to marry the old marquis, mother, if I marry over, I will die, mother, help me." ”
In the face of her daughter's bitter pleading, Mrs. Jiang was very embarrassed, for this matter, he and her husband quarreled several times, and the family was in mourning, and the once beautiful Su Yi Bo Mansion has been so poor that it can't even get out of the tuition fees of the tens of thousands of star beads of the eldest daughter, in order to maintain the superficial scenery and the son who is not a weapon, the mistress of Jiang Mansion has actually been quietly selling the dowry to maintain the expenses of the house.
Yin will not eat food for long, but when she thinks that her baby daughter is going to marry the old marquis who is about to die, Mrs. Jiang has a heart twist, the old marquis has been paralyzed in bed for many years, the head of the Hou Mansion is a cousin of his mother's family, this cousin has a powerful son, is a high-level garland warrior, but unfortunately has married several wives, this time so generous Zhang Luo wants to continue the strings for the old marquis who has been widowed for many years, what are the unsightly thoughts behind the scenes, Jiang's mother shuddered when she thought about it.
Her poor daughter, she has to be strong since she was a child, if she marries, it is really better to live than to die, and then think about the opportunity for her daughter to beg her husband for the purple gold flower ball some time ago, her daughter is so good, dignified and beautiful, how can it, those sons and brothers who are proud of themselves as nobles one by one, where is the chivalry.
Jiang Qingyang hid in her room and hugged the bear, tears soaked the bear's furry face, she was so powerless, and even had the idea of losing weight, but as the daughter of the Jiang family, choosing death is to evade responsibility, she can't do this, what about her brother and mother, Su Yibofu can't fall, at least not in the hands of her generation, but if she chooses to obey her father's arrangement, then what awaits her will be a dark abyss.
"Miss, there is a guest at home, and the master asked you to come and meet the guest too." Mary, the maid who has served Jiang Qingyang for many years, knocked on the door and came in to report.
Qingyang turned his head over, "No, I don't see anyone, Mary, I don't want to see anyone, you can just say a reason for me, I don't want to go out." Mary has taken care of Qingyang since she was a child, and she naturally has more true feelings for Miss, only to see her skillfully open the wardrobe, "Miss, don't cry, get up quickly, I'll dress you up, I can't let the guests see jokes, saying that we don't know how to be polite." ”
Qingyang still covered his face with the bear, "Look at the joke, it doesn't matter, I should already be the biggest joke in the circle now." ”
Mary took the two skirts and compared them to the young lady, "Spirit, good news, today's guest is a young man, I secretly glanced at it, he looks like a talent, or a purple robe and red rope, and sent a cart full of gifts, which is much more generous than that Hou Ye's family." He came to visit you. ”
"What's his name?"
"Oh, I didn't pay attention to this, it looks like a foreigner, not from Wangjing, what is it called." Mary tried to remember, but couldn't.
Qingyang's face was crimson, at this moment her heart was like a deer, it was him, it must be him, it must be him, her knight came to pick her up, she waited for a month and had no news, Qingyang, who was already completely disappointed, did not expect that he actually came to the door with his promise, happiness came too suddenly, and his mind was blank. At this moment, Qingyang is like a marshmallow falling into the soft frost candy, soft and sweet. Something must have been delayed, and the girl began to look for all sorts of reasons for her lover to justify herself, and the previous grievances had long been thrown away, but the kind Mary reminded her to dress up quickly, and not to be too late, to keep the family waiting.
In the study, Su Yibo and the visiting young people talked very happily, the young people were very humble, the two chatted about the current political situation, quite speculative, the most critical point is that the young people not only made a generous move, just this time the meeting gift was worth almost 10,000 star beads, and the Su Yibo Mansion was also very interested in the industry of Tianyao Island, and the conversation revealed the willingness to invest in shares, such a great thing, the Jiang family's trading house and dock operation on Tianyao Island was bleak, and it was already on the verge of bankruptcy and bankruptcy, and a pick-up man suddenly appeared, Su Yibo was overjoyed.
The servants from the mansion came in to report, "Master, the young lady has been waiting outside for a long time." ”
Su Yibo smiled slightly, "Look at my memory, I forgot about the business when we chatted together." ”
The young man shook his head, "Where, I had a very happy chat with Lord Earl, the younger generation has gained a lot of knowledge, and if I have the opportunity, I want to hear more about Lord Earl's high opinions another day." ”
"Definitely, there must be a chance."
In the living room outside, Jiang Qingyang was sitting on a chair, she kept taking off and putting on her white gloves, and even her voice trembled slightly, "Mary, meet in a while, do you say I should take off the gloves directly and let him kiss me." ”
Mary shook her head, this girl who was carried away by love, lowered her head, and said softly, "Miss, don't be nervous, everything is as usual." The person came out, the purple robe lined with the tall and brave body, and the familiar red rope, it was him, it was really him, Qingyang immediately stood up, and coincidentally brought it to the plate on the coffee table on the side, seeing that the plate was about to fall to the ground and shatter, a familiar hand caught the plate, slowly picked it up, put it back in its original position, and he once again relieved her.
"Miss Qingyang, I haven't seen you for a long time, forgive me for missing the appointment, Xiya City is too far away, I'm still too late to catch up." After saying that, Liu Yuexi knelt on one knee and wanted to kiss her hand, Qingyang took off her gloves, revealing her white and tender jade fingers, Yuexi gently caught it, lowered her head, and her lips touched her skin, so soft and fragrant.
Liu Yuexi got up, Su Yibo, Qingyang and Liu Yuexi sat down in turn, the servant brought refreshments, and the three of them chatted for a while, most of them were Su Yibo, who was sitting at the top, talking, but the two young people obviously didn't listen to a word, Qingyang stared at Yuexi from time to time, and when he found that the other party was also looking at him, he pretended to be casual and avoided the intersection of his eyes, "Lord Liu thinks that this invasion of Xinnan will have follow-up actions?" ”
Yuexi didn't hear Su Yibo's question at all, and stood up embarrassedly to salute and admit her mistake, but Mrs. Jiang came to solve the siege, "Master, it's almost, Lord Liu is not here to talk about state affairs today, how can you see that the two of them have such thoughts?" ”
Mrs. Jiang is very temperamental, Liu Yuexi bent down and saluted, "I've seen the countess, my name is Liu Yuexi." ”
Mrs. Jiang had known about this person from her daughter's mouth for a long time, and even that bold idea was under her acquiescence, but at this moment her face was very serious, "Lord Liu is really good-looking, a talent, no wonder we talk about you every day?" ”
This was embarrassing, Jiang Qingyang, who stood up with Liu Yuexi, heard that her mother was reminding her to be more reserved, so she was embarrassed to sit back in place, Liu Yuexi on the side didn't particularly understand, thinking that she had done something wrong, and was a little overwhelmed.
Mother Jiang continued: "Lord Liu is really polite, the gift you sent today is too high, my Su Yi Bofu and you have no intersection in the past, the so-called merit is not rewarded, we can't accept this generous gift from you." ”
The countess's words turned too fast, so that the other three were a little caught off guard, the count endured it and did not have a seizure, Qingyang was already going crazy, what does the mother mean, this will say this, isn't it to chase away the guest.
