Chapter 85: Confrontation
Come on, bring up the reward that the prince gave to Miss Gu. ”
Outside the door, a dozen sturdy guards carried six boxes into the door.
The outside of each box is carved with auspicious moire, and the corners are inlaid with gold, like a handicraft, which is very valuable.
Guard Li smiled and lifted the lid of the box, which contained more than a dozen sets of gorgeous dresses, and the selected brocades were all excellent.
The rest of the lids were also lifted, and the gold and silver jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings were dazzling.
Even the Gu boss and others in the Gu family's old mansion knew that this was a lot of wealth.
Gu Jiayao's cousins and the Gu family's daughter-in-law couldn't take their eyes off.
The only person who behaved normally was Gu Xi.
But Gu Jiayao knew that her father had endured very hard.
In order to regard power and wealth as a celebrity and a man of dung, Gu Xi can't take a look at the 'dung'!
And he also has to make a cold look, verbally refusing:
What does that mean? Take it away, don't dirty my place. ”
Even if there was an external Shi Ze by Gu Xi's side, so many people were watching at this time, Gu Xi didn't dare to bet.
Money doesn't matter to life!
He still has to accompany his wife and daughter.
Li Guards had long heard that Gu Xi was pedantic, no, he was of noble character, but he didn't expect all the legends to be true.
Gu Xi's disgust is not a joke.
After all, not every celebrity can do something like this.
"These things are not for Mr. Gu, the prince knows that you are not rich and extravagant, how can he insult you with vulgar things?"
Li Guardwei came up with another set of plans and said very sincerely, "The prince has not yet married a wife, and there are no women around to serve, and almost everyone who takes the prince's invitation will drag their families to come, and female dependents are indispensable." ”
"The prince asked Mrs. Jiang for help, these are just thank you gifts, the prince doesn't want Miss Gu to be too shabby......"
"Does it mean that the master can't afford to raise a daughter?"
Shi Ze took a stride and inserted it directly between Li Guard and Gu Xi, and covered the box with his hand, so that he no longer had to be stimulated by gifts.
Guards Li were rarely so offended, and they looked at Shi Ze with eye ......
Suddenly, his heart trembled, and instinctively he took a half step back, and asked cautiously, "Which one is it?" ”
Shi Ze said: "Go back and tell His Royal Highness King Rui that my junior sister's food, clothing, housing and transportation are provided by my master and uncle, and if my junior sister has something she likes, I will try my best to find it." ”
Gu Jiayao hooked the corners of her mouth slightly, feeling spoiled.
No matter how Shi Ze looks at it, he is not as powerful as His Royal Highness King Rui, but Shi Ze is sincere and will not calculate her, so let her rest assured.
King Rui sent these things...... Gu Jiayao suspected that he had other plans.
Seeing King Rui, Gu Jiayao's heart was always on the table, for fear of falling into the calculation.
"His Royal Highness King Rui is not close to his junior sister, and he has no friendship at all, for the sake of his junior sister's reputation, he still has to move these things back from where!"
Shi Ze narrowed his eyes, and his body suddenly rose two inches, "As for borrowing Gu Mansion to feast guests, I can't make decisions on behalf of the master, but the master and the junior sister will definitely not entertain female guests on behalf of His Royal Highness King Rui, so there is no need to mention the reward." ”
The people who followed behind Guard Li all had round eyes and murderous eyes.
For a while, the house was tense and the atmosphere was stagnant.
"Bold, how can you talk back to the prince's people? It's just that the younger brother and sister picked up a person who eats white rice, and the second brother's family is not qualified to ask! ”
Boss Gu hinted several times, but Gu Xi acted as if he hadn't seen it, and let Shi Ze arrogantly reject His Royal Highness King Rui.
He was really scared.
Not to mention these impressive gifts, it is very beneficial to the Gu family to be able to have the slightest relationship with His Royal Highness King Rui.
Gu Xi no longer needs to be talked about eating soft rice, he can only rely on the Jiang family to feed.
"Don't listen to Shi Ze's nonsense, our Gu family respects His Royal Highness King Rui very much, and we are willing to ...... for King Rui."
Bang, the flattering Gu Boss hit his forehead hard, and Old Man Gu's cigarette pouch hit him the forehead.
"Daddy?"
Boss Gu rarely saw his father so serious, "I'm also good for my second brother and good for the Gu family." ”
"Xi'er reads more and sees more! What can a farmer who is digging in a field understand? ”
Old man Gu beat his eldest son with a cigarette pouch again, and Old Man Gu dodged with a jump.
But he still couldn't avoid the old man chasing after him and beating him.
"I said a long time ago, Xi'er's affairs are not allowed to be asked, for the good of the Gu family? I think it's too many good days, and I have the idea of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix! ”
"If it harms Xi'er's reputation, I won't be able to die!"
Old man Gu knocked Boss Gu out of the door, "Go to the backyard to kill a chicken, and let your daughter-in-law stew chicken soup in a while to make up for Xi'er." ”
Boss Gu: "......"
"Xi'er, don't listen to the boss, you can do whatever you want, His Royal Highness King Rui is a noble person, we can't climb high, and we can't afford to climb it, don't hurt your reputation because of a little wealth in front of you."
"Our family still has grain production, and my mother and I can also farm and afford it."
Old man Gu inserted the cigarette pouch into his waist, "Take all the things, we don't want them!" ”
Guard Li looked down at the clothes that represented the guards of King Rui, and he was not wearing the wrong clothes.
In the past, when he went out for a walk, who was not very respectful to him?
Why did King Rui lose face after coming to the Gu family?
An old farmer dares to refuse the kindness of King Rui?!
The man behind Guard Li pressed his hand on the scabbard, ready to hold the knife at any time.
Even if King Rui slaughtered the Gu family, he only needed to say one word, and the family could easily close the case if they despised him.
Shi Ze stepped forward again, protecting Gu Xi and the others behind him, his eyes were deep, and the corners of his mouth pulled out a faint smile, "I said I didn't dare to use the knife!" ”
Guard Li's forehead was drenched in cold sweat, and it was obvious that he could easily draw his sword, but his arm trembled and he didn't obey the call.
“……”
Just at the moment of the stalemate, a person ran in from outside the door again, walked quickly to Guard Li's side, and whispered a few words.
Guard Li couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, straightened his sleeves, bowed down and said, "I don't dare to disobey the prince's order, and I can't bring back the box." ”
"If Mr. Gu has any objections, he can go to the military camp outside the city to meet with the prince."
Guard Li glanced at Shi Ze deeply, "I see that the little brother has a good momentum and has a lot of strength, so it is better to go with me to serve under the prince's account, fight for fame, and seek a career." ”
The people who can make him unable to use the knife simply with momentum are by no means ordinary people.
Shi Ze said lightly: "Learn the arts and martial arts, sell the goods to the emperor's family, and when I succeed in learning art with my master, I will enter Beijing and serve Your Majesty, and His Royal Highness King Rui will be a minister in the same palace." ”
What a guts!
Guard Li's pupils dilated, and he insinuated that King Rui was just a courtier!
Not more noble than him Ishizawa.
"It's time for Guard Li to go."
The messenger kept his head down, anxiously urging.
When they left, Gu Jiayao frowned and asked, "Senior brother, do you think that person is familiar?" I seem to have seen him somewhere. ”
