Chapter 175: Brothers' Rivalry
Gu Tingshen accompanied Jiang Xiqian for nearly an hour, and Jiang Xiqian saw that he occasionally looked at his watch, and wanted to know how many official duties were waiting for him to deal with.
Such a busy man, sleeping with her for so long, and accompanying her out for a walk for so long after eating, is really embarrassing for him.
Jiang Xiqian stood in place and pulled his sleeves, rare and considerate, "Gu Tingshen, you go get busy first, I'll bask in the sun outside for a while, the people who are basking in the sun here are too comfortable, I don't want to go in yet." ”
Gu Tingshen narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his hand and rubbed the top of her head, and asked with a soft gaze, "Can you do it yourself?" ”
The group was scheduled to hold a video conference of overseas branches this afternoon, and was waiting for him to preside over it, and he really didn't have much time to accompany her.
Jiang Xiqian looked at his handsome and gentle face under the golden sunlight, his heart couldn't help but throb, his eyes didn't dare to look at him, he only lowered his eyes slightly and whispered, "I'm not a three-year-old child, are you still afraid that I will get lost?" ”
Gu Tingshen smiled at the corner of his lips, then took her shoulder, kissed her on the forehead, and advised, "Remember not to stay outside for too long, it is windy in the evening, and it is easy to catch a cold." ”
Jiang Xiqian's heart was still useful for his kind old fatherly admonitions, "I know, hurry up and go quickly." ”
After Gu Tingshen left, Jiang Xiqian lingered along the large sea of tulips and roses.
In fact, she didn't quite understand that Gu Tingshen said that he rarely came to live here, why did he keep such a large sea of flowers, and it looked very well maintained, as if there was a special person to maintain it.
Suddenly, Jiang Xiqian suddenly saw a large vegetable field not far away, and Pei Ying seemed to be loosening the soil for those green vegetables.
She had eaten a lot of vegetables, but it was the first time she had seen this vegetable growing in the ground.
Jiang Xiqian ran towards Pei Ying curiously.
Pei Ying was wearing coarse cloth clothes and a straw hat on his head, looking like he was doing farm work.
"Uncle Pei, are you busy?" Jiang Xiqian stood on the periphery of the vegetable field and shouted to Pei Ying, who was bowing his head and concentrating on his work.
Pei Ying heard Jiang Xiqian's voice, hurriedly raised his head, stopped what he was doing, and said with sincere fear, "Miss Jiang, why did you come here?" There is dirt in the vegetable patch, be careful to stain your clothes. ”
Jiang Xi smiled lightly and didn't listen to him, stepped on his high heels and walked into the vegetable field, almost scaring Pei Ying out.
"Alas, Miss Jiang, why did you still run in, this is not the place for you, you should go up quickly."
Jiang Xi pulled his long skirt and squatted on the ground curiously to observe those lovely vegetable leaves, "I think this place is very good, how down-to-earth, you see, how cute these vegetable seedlings are, Uncle Pei, are you planting all the vegetables in such a large vegetable field?" It's amazing. ”
Pei Ying: "..."
is indeed down-to-earth, he has never seen such a down-to-earth young lady.
Jiang Xiqian didn't hear Pei Ying's answer, raised his eyes to look at him, and found that he was holding a fork that loosened the soil and looked at him helplessly.
Jiang Xiqian noticed that the fork in his hand had a strange shape, and took the fork from his hand to study it, "This fork is very fun, Uncle Pei, can I play with it?" ”
Pei Ying was curious to see what she was looking at, and she had already broken off her mind, so she simply took a spare fork from the dam ridge and handed it to her, "Miss Jiang, you play carefully, don't get hurt." ”
Jiang Xiqian
happily followed Pei Ying to learn to loosen the soil, but many vegetables were loosened by her roots.
Pei Ying shook her head a little helplessly, but she was sweet and humble-hearted, Uncle Pei on the left is sorry, and Uncle Pei on the right You know so much, and from time to time she coaxed Pei Ying to laugh.
After playing happily for a while, the movements in Jiang Xiqian's hand slowed down unconsciously, and she asked curiously,
"Uncle Pei, why are you growing vegetables here? Did Gu Tingshen plant it? This place looks far away from the city, this dish is ripe, should you take it back to the city to eat or what? ”
This is a very ordinary question, but it made Pei Ying sigh heavily.
Jiang Xi looked at Pei Ying's preoccupied appearance in an instant, and said in his heart, Is there any unknown story in this vegetable?
She has never broken the character of the casserole to ask to the end, "I'm sorry, Uncle Pei, I just asked casually, you don't have to care." ”
Not from the perspective of the relationship between master and servant, Pei Ying likes Jiang Xiqian's unscrupulous personality quite much.
She will not be proud of the third young master's pampering, nor will she show the slightest inferiority complex because her background is far inferior to the third young master, and she will always maintain a humble and polite attitude towards him.
Besides, the third young master personally said at the old man's birthday banquet that she would be his future wife, and there are some things that don't hurt to talk to her.
Pei Ying put down the work at hand, took off his straw hat and compared it with the sea of flowers in the vegetable field under his feet,
"Actually, I planted these vegetables, including those flowers, all of them are just a thought, planted and planted, there is no purpose, so many years, the young master did not say not to plant, I also planted it year after year, year after year, guarding this sea of flowers and vegetable fields, just like guarding the lord and Mrs."
Jiang Xi was stunned, did the lord and lady in Uncle Pei's mouth refer to Gu Tingshen's parents?
Pei Ying said, sighing again, "This villa and these lands were bought by the master and given to his wife back then.
Although the marriage between the lord and the wife is a family-style business marriage, the relationship has been very good after marriage, and the lord bought this villa just because the wife likes the sea,
At that time, the lord and the lady have been living in the old house, the old house has many people, there are many people, the lady in order to hide quietly, will often come here to relax, after a long time, it will open up this vegetable field and flower field,
Mrs. likes to grow her own vegetables, and occasionally brings the children to work in the fields, so that the children can experience the joy of labor, and will cook their own vegetables for the children.
Madame also likes flowers, but the flowers that Madame likes are all precious varieties, and this land is not suitable for planting, so the lord ordered people to change the soil structure of this large land, the purpose is to let those precious flowers take root in this land, and can grow in all seasons, so that Madame can see beautiful flowers and forget her worries..."
When Jiang Xiqian heard this, she was a little envious of Tao Wanyi, she should have been very happy during her lifetime, her husband was loved, her children were around her knees, and there was such a large piece of free world.
Pei Ying paused, and his tone became a little heavy,
"It's not easy to change the soil structure, and it's been a long time since the researchers have come up with the right formula.
I still remember that in the evening of that summer, the old man pointed to the field of flowers and said to his wife that when her dream of facing the sea was about to come true, the light in her lady's eyes seemed to be able to light up the whole world.
Madame will soon plant all kinds of precious flower seeds that have been prepared long ago, but unfortunately...
When the flowers bloom next year,
The lady and the lord died suddenly, and they didn't even have time to look at those flowers a few more times.
At that time, the Third Young Master and the Fourth Young Master were not yet fifteen years old, and Miss Nuan Nuan was even more of a young child who did not know anything about the world..."
Jiang Xiqian stood up and looked at the sea of flowers not far away, and felt unspeakably uncomfortable.
I didn't know it before, but now I realize that 'the face of the person does not know where to go, and the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze' is such a sad thing.
Gu Tingshen's three brothers and sisters, born in such a top aristocratic family, and their father is the ruler of the family, they should live very happily before their parents pass away, right?
A fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy suddenly encountered such an accident, the brothers were supposed to huddle together to keep warm, but in the end they ended up dying and never seeing each other again, what happened between them?
And from the time calculation, Gu Tingshen left the country soon after the death of his parents, how did all this happen?
Jiang Xiqian originally didn't have any feelings for Gu Laosi, and even subjectively had a deliberate evasive attitude, but now he wanted to know a little, why did he hate Gu Tingshen so much?
"I'm sorry, Uncle Pei, I reminded you of something sad." Jiang Xi's face was sad and his tone was low.
Pei Ying shook his head and said, "I'm sad or second, for the sudden death of the master and the lady, the most hurt are the two young masters, Miss Nuan Nuan was young at that time, and she didn't remember much, and then the old man personally took her with him, which can be regarded as slightly making up for her sudden loss of her parents." ”
Jiang Xi pondered for a few seconds and asked, "Then, Gu Tingshen and Gu... Why did the fourth master turn against him? Does it have anything to do with the sudden death of their parents? ”
Pei Ying's gaze wandered over Jiang Xiqian for a few seconds, and he suddenly fell silent.
Jiang Xiqian realized that her question had crossed the line, this kind of matter of brothers in the gate of the high court could be regarded as a secret of a wealthy family, and she really shouldn't ask more.
She just wanted to apologize to Pei Ying, but Pei Ying unexpectedly opened her mouth,
"It can't be said that it doesn't matter, if it weren't for the sudden death of the lord and the lady, maybe the fire wouldn't have been able to burn, and the fourth young master wouldn't have such a deep grudge against the third young master..."
Thinking of Gu Laosi's outrageously ugly face, Jiang Xi was stunned, could it be that he was burned like that by the fire in Uncle Pei's mouth?
"The lord and the lady were in a plane crash on an international flight, the place where the plane crash occurred was abroad, and the two young masters went abroad together to deal with the aftermath of the lord and the lady.
may be because Mrs. had a bad premonition before the accident, and inadvertently revealed to the third young master that she wanted to return to the sea after a hundred years.
So the two young masters came back on a cruise ship with an urn, the purpose was to throw the ashes of their wife all the way to the vast ocean, but what people didn't expect was that when the cruise ship was about to sail into the territorial waters of China, it suddenly caught fire, The cruise ship was the Gu family's private cruise ship, and it stands to reason that the safety measures above are top-notch, and there will never be a fire.
But I heard from the people who survived by luck that the fire that suddenly attacked in the middle of the night was extremely ferocious, and the fire started in the fourth young master's guest room..." 2k reading web
