Chapter 242: Threat
The British people who can drink tribute tea for one or two silver teas naturally do not know the skills of making tea.
"I'm a little worried about Xi'er." The British duke paced back and forth, clasping his hands, "Daughter-in-law Xi, aren't you worried?" ”
Jiang was calm, still admiring the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls of the shop, as if judging the authenticity.
"Worried?" Jiang Shi chuckled and said, "Why should I worry about my husband bullying people? ”
British Public: "......"
The British duchess admired Jiang more and more, and took her arm, "You tell me about Xi'er carefully." ”
Jiang Shi agreed with a smile, "My husband has been reflecting on the things of the year all these years, he used to be too pushy, but as he grew older, he had a daughter, and his husband knew the responsibility of being a father, and it was his daughter who made him understand that he couldn't support his wife and daughter with poetry and books alone." ”
"He is upright, but he will no longer be accused of not being able to support his wife and daughter."
There were many rumors about Gu Xi, and Jiang slowly made the British Duke and others aware of Gu Xi's changes.
Maintaining the personality of celebrities and scholars, it is impossible for Gu Xi to really be a person who is dedicated to poetry and books.
The British duchess nodded and said: "This is very good, I support Xi'er to do whatever it takes, but Xi'er has me and his father here, and I can support your family, Xi'er still pursues poetry, calligraphy, calligraphy and painting, and leaves a name in history." ”
Jiang: "......"
The parents who spoil their sons, she has seen a lot, but she has never seen the British husband and wife so looking forward to their son's career and can only talk clearly.
It's just that they really love Gu Xi.
British couples may think that it is better to become a celebrity than a high-ranking official?
In the inner room, Gu Jiayao walked in with a tea set.
Gu Xi sat by the window, chic and leisurely, Liu Shangshu's face was gentle, calm and serious.
The two seem to be fighting silently to see who lasts longer.
"Dad, the tea is ready."
The girl's crisp voice broke the silence of the room, suppressing the dark tide between each other.
Liu Shangshu's gaze turned around the girl, and just now he just glanced at it in a hurry, and he was already amazed by Gu Jiayao's appearance.
At this time, Gu Jiayao was smiling, Tingting Yuli, bright and moving.
"Zihua's beloved girl is really good, and the matchmaker who comes to propose marriage in the future can break through Zihua's door."
Liu Shangshu's praise is also sincere, after all, Gu Jiayao is a beauty, and she is the top among the ladies in the capital.
With this appearance, coupled with the fact that Prince Dayan has always loved beauty, maybe Gu Xi will be able to rely on his son-in-law in the future.
At this time, it is not good to completely offend Gu Xi.
Gu Xi said lightly: "My choice of son-in-law is different from that of a teacher, I think there should be few matchmakers who dare to come to my house to propose marriage." ”
Gu Jiayao brews tea with her hands, and her movements are smooth and pleasing to the eye.
Liu Shangshu tea has not yet been drunk in his mouth, and his lips and teeth have a sweet feeling.
"Zihua." Liu Shangshu said slowly: "Thank you Zihua for distinguishing the authenticity of antique calligraphy and paintings, removing the fake and keeping the authenticity, saving the things from being sold, and then letting people knock on the door because of the sale of fakes, which ruined the reputation of the teacher." ”
Gu Jiayao's hand pouring tea was slightly paused, he was worthy of being a scholar, and his face was really thick.
Obviously, it was Gu Xi who smashed things, but Liu Shangshu could say that it was for the sake of the store's reputation.
Gu Xi took the teacup and gently stretched the tea leaves, "You're welcome, if the teacher still wants me to help you pick out the pus, I can do a lot in addition to smashing fakes." ”
He took a sip of tea and glanced at Liu Shangshu, "Three days later, I will go to the palace to meet Your Majesty, for the sake of the teacher's upright reputation, I will say a few more words to Your Majesty?" ”
"No way!"
Liu Shangshu couldn't sit still, supporting the table with both hands, "Zihua, you...... Your blind nonsense will only harm others and yourself, you can't do the foolish things that hurt your relatives and hurt your enemies, I am your teacher after all. ”
He stared at Gu Xi stubbornly, as if he wanted to see any subtle changes in Gu Xi's expression clearly.
The students who used to be easy to see through, now he can't grasp Gu Xi at all, and he can't even see if Gu Xi knows what happened back then?
"How much do you know?"
"Guess."
Gu Xi smiled incomprehensibly.
Liu Shangshu pursed the corners of his mouth, "Today's matter, I will not pursue it anymore, if Zihua is an official in the future, I can help you." ”
"Today? Didn't the teacher just thank me? ”
“…… Zihua, it may not be a good thing for you to return to the British Mansion, you don't know the movements of the former harem, and the British Duke is easy to become the target of public criticism. ”
"My business, the teacher has always disdained to bother, and you also made me deeply understand that there is no background backer, and I have never been able to go far, my identity was not a farmer's son, but the eldest son of a British duke, and the teacher would give up on me so easily?"
Gu Xi sneered in a flash, "Full of benevolence and morality, male thieves and prostitutes inside, I was not forced to leave the capital because of the situation, but was disgusted by you." ”
“……”
"Tomorrow, the teacher will go to the British Mansion to plead guilty, and return double the silver that has been pitted in Guhu all these years, so naturally I won't say a word more."
Guilty of guilt?!
Liu Shangshu frowned, "This is your condition?" ”
Gu Xi nodded and tasted tea slowly.
“…… If that case really wants to be investigated, you may not be clean. ”
"That's true, I may not have a clear conscience, but there is a teacher who is more unlucky than me, you will lose everything you have now, your rights, your status, your reputation, and even the granddaughters of your teachers will be punished in the workshop."
Gu Xi glanced at Liu Shangshu, whose expression had changed provocatively, "Now that I am surrounding you and honoring your students, I don't know how many people are left?" Will Liu Zhuangyuan, whom you value the most, expose you in front of His Majesty and stab you severely? Just like he did to me back then, it's a pity that he didn't have good swordsmanship back then, and I was too handsome, so I got the grace of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces and escaped. ”
"Over the years, I've heard that Lord Liu's reputation is your default political heir, can he stand the sword teacher with a knife in the back?"
"Accept your political legacy, enjoy your silver mansion, and maybe his son can go to the church to care for your granddaughter......"
Gu Xi chuckled: "Stepping on your shoulders to climb to the top, who still said that he was ruthless and unjust, betrayed his master, as long as he is in power, he can seal everyone's criticism, this is what you taught me." ”
Liu Shangshu: "......"
Gu Xi got up slowly, "Yaoyao, let's go." ”
"Zihua."
"I bet you don't dare to bet, I'll wait for you tomorrow in front of the British Mansion."
Gu Xi only left Liu Shangshu with a resolute back.
"Dad, what happened back then?"
Gu Jiayao asked curiously and in a low voice, "What is the matter?" ”
Gu Xi sighed: "A tragedy, a grievance, but unfortunately I don't have enough evidence to bring them down." ”
But he's decided to look for evidence.
Gu Xi saw the smiling mature man at the door, and pulled the corners of his mouth, "It turned out to be Senior Brother Liu Yidao." ”
