Chapter 109 Appointment
Gu Rongzhi was a little incredulous, but the mysterious man analyzed the relationship between Gu Xiqian and his mother, as well as his actions against Gu Miaoxuan, which made him begin to believe the person in front of him.
And the hatred for Gu Xiqian made him understand that now is not the time to continue to be decadent.
"So what should I do?" Gu Rongzhi looked at the person in front of him and asked.
"You can do this and that..."I saw the other party leaning into Gu Rongzhi's ear and muttering.
After a while, Gu Rongzhi's expression changed, and he hesitated: "What you said makes sense, but now that I am now, can I still win their trust?" ”
"It depends on how cheeky Childe is, but you're not too bad compared to your sister." The mystery man commented.
Although Gu Rongzhi didn't know the identity of the person in front of him, since the other party had told him these things and provided a way to deal with Gu Xiqian for himself, he could be sure that he was not an enemy for the time being.
When Gu Rongzhi just wanted to thank the other party, he saw the other party disappear in front of his eyes with a "whoosh", which made him feel very mysterious, why did such a person come to tell him these things?
Lying on the bed, Gu Rongzhi thought about what the other party said just now, his mother died in the hands of Gu Xiqian, which made him want to come up with a straightforward way, it would be better to go directly into the room with a knife and kill her.
However, this is just a joke, if he really does this, then he will not be able to mix in the capital in the future, and Mo Xuanyin will not let himself go.
"Since you want to deal with that slut, you must first get close to this slut, since she is now the county lord, then you can talk to my father and let him give me an official position, that's all." Gu Rongzhi smiled with satisfaction, and even began to fantasize about the scene of trampling Gu Xiqian under his feet in the future, which made him even more excited and unable to sleep.
The next day, I saw Gu Rongyi change his previous decadent image, put on a neat shirt, and appeared in front of everyone with a spring face.
"Dad, sister, early."
Gu Rongzhi's sudden demeanor made everyone present look confused, feeling that in just one night, Gu Rongzhi seemed to be a different person.
"Come, sister, you're not in good health, eat more."
Watching Gu Rongzhi pick up vegetables for himself, Gu Xiqian was also puzzled, and it didn't look like he was deliberately contrived, could it be that he was suddenly reborn by someone like himself?
"Rongzhi, nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief, everyone is a family, if there is anything, you might as well talk about it." King Xiang said with some seriousness.
"Looking at his appearance, he should want change, you know, his previous money has been deducted by someone in charge, and now he has no money to go out for a drink with friends when he is free, and he is said to be a strong man outside Xiangwang's mansion." Gu Miaoxuan quipped on the side.
Gu Xiqian ignored it, only to see Gu Rongzhi suddenly retort: "Sister, this is your mistake, my father handed over the affairs of the family to him, it must have been considered, and the third sister did this to remind me, don't go out to drink flower wine again, now I have to change my mind." ”
I saw that everyone was looking at Gu Rongzhi in front of them with a puzzled expression, was that still their family Gu Rongzhi?
"You kid, I finally understand your third sister's intentions, and the reason for deducting your change is because of the compensation when you paid off the arrears last time, and when this account is filled, Xi Qian will give you more change."
After hearing this, Gu Rongzhi excitedly shook Gu Xiqian's hand and thanked him excitedly, "Third sister, I only now understand your good intentions, please forgive me for being too reckless before, and please bear with me." ”
Gu Miaoxuan on the side didn't believe that her younger brother would say such a thing in front of a daughter in a side room, although the current generation is still different, but her mother is already the main house of King Xiang, why should she whisper to her like this, she is simply slapping herself in the face.
The more she thought about it, the more wrong Gu Miaoxuan became, and immediately pulled him aside and said, "You are sick, and you are suddenly so good to this guy?" ”
Gu Rongzhi briefly said what happened last night, although Gu Miaoxuan didn't believe that his mother would die like this, but it was also a good thing to be able to cheer up the waste people in front of him, plus he was just deliberately showing goodwill, and he would still deal with Gu Xiqian with himself in the future.
"Sister, don't worry, as long as I can get close to her, if there is anything, we can prepare in advance, and when the time comes, we should work together to eradicate her, wouldn't it be beautiful?" Gu Rongzhi said with a smile.
Gu Miaoxuan was suddenly a little moved, so he went.
Just as the two of them returned to their seats to continue their breakfast, they saw the next person walk in and report: "Lord Xiangwang, Lord Muchuan is outside asking to see you." ”
"What's going on early in the morning? Invite him in! King Xiang waved his hand and told him to entertain him.
However, after Mu Chuan entered, he did not wait in the living room, but came to the back room, watched them eating, and said slightly apologetically: "Lord Xiangwang, the county lord, I am sorry for taking the liberty of visiting, I came this time to apologize to the county lord." ”
Looking at the big bags and small bags of things in his hands, it was enough to see his sincerity.
However, everyone here knows that his visit is simply a weasel greeting the New Year of chickens, and he is uneasy and kind.
"If people come, why bother spending so much?" Gu Miaoxuan on the side said.
"That's right, the dignified righteous son, is there an identity for such a condescending nobleman?" Gu Xiqian also agreed.
Gu Xiqian's ridicule made Mu Chuan cry and laugh a little: "I came this time because I asked the county lord to forgive me for what happened last time, but I was too anxious and listened to rumors, so there will be such a farce, please bear with me if I have a little heart." ”
Thinking of the previous incident, Gu Xiqian also understood that they did this on purpose, the purpose was to prevent themselves from connecting with Mo Xuanyin, but in the end, they didn't see the flaws, so that this farce ended.
But now in front of so many people, it is necessary to forgive him for what happened before, although everyone knows that it is just a show.
"Please also ask Lord Muchuan to be careful in the future, otherwise, there will be more farces, and when the time comes, the emperor will be displeased, and the consequences can be imagined." After speaking, he called his subordinates to take back the gifts.
"Lord Makikawa hasn't had breakfast yet, so you might as well sit down and eat together, coarse tea and light rice, please forgive me."
Looking at the breakfast on the table, Makikawa didn't mind, so he found a seat and sat down.
Gu Rongzhi didn't pay attention to it so much, and continued to talk to Gu Xiqian, "Third sister, you are now the county lord, and you will definitely be busy, I don't know if I can help you?" ”
It turned out that Gu Rongzhi had done so many things just to get close to himself, Gu Xiqian smiled a little bitterly: "If you want to be an official and a half-official here, I think you still have this heart, those things are not suitable for you." ”
Gu Rongzhi continued to explain: "Third sister, how can you know some things without trying? ”
At this time, Gu Miaoxuan also participated, and Gu Xiqian watched them sing and harmonize, with very obvious intentions.
"Don't say it anymore, Rong Zhi usually doesn't learn and doesn't want to do things, he becomes an official as soon as he comes up, can he do it well? What should I do when the emperor blames him? King Xiang couldn't stand it and explained.
"That's it, Rongzhi, I'll arrange one thing for you first, if you can do it well, I can give you an official position, how about it?" Gu Xiqian said with interest.
"Third sister, but it doesn't hurt to say it, I will definitely live up to my mission." Gu Rongzhi hugged his fists excitedly.
However, after a while, Gu Rongzhi's excited expression turned into a look of disdain, because the task arranged by Gu Xiqian was to count the entry and exit in the warehouse.
Watching people walk into the warehouse with things or take things out of it to make records, such boring work made him unable to calm down, and even thought that such work was too simple.
And in the place he didn't know, Gu Xiqian was also observing the warehouse and observing Gu Rongzhi, the brush in his hand recording the entry and exit of the warehouse, looking calm.
King Xiang on the side looked at Gu Rongzhi below, and couldn't help but sigh, "Your experiment is really embarrassing for him, but if he can't do it, that's also his problem." ”
"yes, if he can't even do the simplest warehouse entry and exit records, then why should he do anything else? This is something that even a housekeeper can do, he is a dignified young master of the Xiangwang Mansion, can he still admit that he is not even as good as a housekeeper? Gu Xiqian looked at Gu Rongzhi downstairs and said with a smile.
In the evening, when eating dinner, Gu Xiqian originally wanted to let him watch the two-day task, but it seemed that he had been able to complete it ahead of schedule today, so he said to Gu Rongzhi: "Rongzhi, I asked you to look at the warehouse today, have you made a good record?" ”
Gu Rong on the side smiled confidently: "Of course there is, this is a record I made, please take a look." Then he handed over the ledger of the treasury.
At this time, the housekeeper on the side had a somewhat ugly face, as if he knew something terrible.
I saw Gu Xiqian take out another account book, and then compared it with Gu Rongzhi's.
"Rongzhi, did you ask someone to help you write down the accounts?" After Gu Xiqian finished reading it, she looked at Gu Rongzhi and said coldly.
"No, today's warehouse in and out, every word is written by myself." Gu Rongzhi said excitedly, feeling that his self-esteem was being ridiculed.
Gu Xiqian opened the account book and found that half of the handwriting was completely different from his, and it was even the same as the previous record, "Did you ask the housekeeper to help you record and go out to play by yourself?" ”
Speaking of this, Gu Rongzhi's face changed, why did she know about her itinerary today?
Then, Gu Xiqian threw away the book she had just taken out, "Take a good look, this is today's entry and exit, I have been watching in the warehouse for a day, you went out in the afternoon, and when you left, you also found a housekeeper, I am not wrong." ”
In the face of such a question, Gu Rongzhi still did not give up, trying to compare, find out the problem and question her.
