But soon Gu Jicang's eyes were full of smiles: "I have no bad feelings towards Shen Wenxiu after seeing him, but I always feel that his temperament is not strong, to put it bluntly, he is indecisive, and he is naturally far inferior to a virtuous son-in-law." ”

Lan Ting was also not polite, but glanced at Chun Gui with a smile: "Of course." ”

Gu Jicang raised his eyebrows, and also glanced at Chun Guixiao.

Spring Return: ......

But immediately after Gu Jicang, he talked about the most critical thing.

When he first saw Shen Wenxiu, although he felt that this son was not outstanding, he did not completely deny it, because Shen Wenxiu was also young at that time, and a weak temperament was more beneficial than violence, so Gu Jicang still focused his investigation on the style of Shenmen in Fuzhou.

Because often a family is upright, the children are not very talented, and the character is not too bad, and Gu Jicang's standard for choosing a son-in-law does not look at glory and wealth at all, only looking at the spring return can be compatible with the future husband, and will not be forced by the criticism and pressure of the husband and the patriarch, he can not personally inspect the temperament of Shen Hong's wife, but if he interacts with the children of Shenmen, he can test a few points.

This exchange caused trouble.

Shen Hong, the second son of Shen Shi, he also has a brother Shen Yi, but Shen Yi's eldest son was born lame, and he was hopeless to enter the office, Shen Shi only found an errand for the eldest son, leaving him in his place of origin to preside over family affairs, although Shen Yi was born with a disability, but his knowledge and insight are better than Shen Hong, so Shen Hong also respects his eldest brother very much, and Gu Jicang, as Shen Hong's friend, naturally received Shen Yi's warm hospitality.

For a period of time, Gu Jicang lived in the Zongjia family of Shenmen, Fuzhou, and even had a love affair with Shen Yi at first sight.

One day, when he was talking with Shen Yi, someone reported that Shen Yi's uncle Shen Yi had brought a guest who needed Shen Yi to entertain him.

"Shen Yi is a chess idiot, and when he was talking to people, he said that no one was allowed to disturb him, but he didn't love war at all that day, which surprised me somewhat, so I paced to the window to take a look, and saw that Shen Yi had already brought the guest to Shen Yi's academy, but Shen Yi was not entertaining guests in the academy, and the group of three went out again." Gu Jicang said at this time.

He felt even more confused at the moment, and couldn't help but wonder:

To say that this guest is not important, then the next person is categorical

will not enter the report, although Shen Yi is Shen Yi's uncle, he is usually a person who has no shelf, and he also knows his nephew's temperament, I heard that Shen Yi is playing chess, most of them will not be in a hurry to disturb, but just explain that the next person has a long look, and then reports to Shen Yi after the chess game is decided; But to say that this guest is extremely important, how could Shen Yi know that the distinguished guest is about to visit and hold others to talk on this day?

So Gu Jicang came to the conclusion that this important guest came suddenly.

But the next person did not specify the name and surname of the guest at that time, how did Shen Yi know that it was a distinguished guest? And this person clearly knew that the identity of this guest was different, so he dared to disturb the conversation between the head of the family and the people, and deliberately did not mention the name and surname of the guest, only emphasizing that it was Shen Yi's proposition, and it was expected that Shen Yi had a tacit understanding.

The Shen family should have deliberately not let him hear the name and identity of the guest.

Although Gu Jicang had this judgment in his heart at that time, he felt more and more that this incident was unusual, but after all, he was only a foreigner, and of course he would not be polite to listen and ask.

Coincidentally, a few days later, Gu Jicang himself went to Fuzhou City to wander, passing by a teahouse, just felt that his legs were tired and thirsty, so he wanted to go to the teahouse for a while, this teahouse has three floors, and the three floors are very elegant, but Gu Jicang has always preferred the upstairs by the window, so that he could drink tea while looking at the street scene, so he went straight to the third floor, just went upstairs, and saw at a glance the distinguished guests who went to visit the Shen family a few days ago, and he and another person had already sat in a window seat.

"Chungui also knows that I used to be guided by the chief of the free way, but I also learned a little bit of the art of matchmaking, speaking of which, when I first saw that 'distinguished guest', I felt that his demeanor and bearing faintly revealed a bit of murderousness, and when I saw this companion a few days later, it was the same. If it were another family, I would naturally not have to snoop on the privacy of his house, but because I had not broken off the idea of marrying the Shen family at that time, I could not ignore it. Gu Jicang talked about the cause of the disaster back then, and his expression was a little melancholy, because he definitely didn't expect that this trip to Fuzhou would almost kill him, so that he was separated from his wife and daughter for several years, and he didn't know the news.

The happy life of a family of three was turned upside down, and in the end, they could not meet again in this life after being separated from their beloved wife.

Lan Ting saw that his father-in-law paused for a moment when he said this, obviously his heart fluctuated, and he didn't rush to destroy, but only silently poured a cup of sake for his father-in-law.

Gu Jicang continued for a long time.

In that teahouse, each elegant seat is nothing more than using a picture screen as a partition, Gu Jicang deliberately chose a room adjacent to the two people, the intention is to listen to the conversation between the two.

Supposedly, in such an environment, it is not appropriate to discuss secrets, but ......

"Those two are speaking Dongying dialect, or maybe it's because of this that they don't avoid taboos."

Although the coastal Japanese are rampant, but the commercial exchanges between the imperial court and the Dongying Kingdom have not been completely severed, and even the coastal people are not lacking in secretly colluding with the Japanese to go private, in short, there are occasionally a few Japanese people in Fuzhou at that time, it is not a strange thing, but the vast majority of the people are not familiar with the Dongying dialect, because almost all the Japanese people who come to the Central Plains can speak Chinese, and it is not an obstacle to communicate with Han at all.

"My father had studied Dongying on his own, and was also proficient in Korean, Annam, Persian and even Franco, so my father's ambition was to become a translator." Chungui interjected, looking very proud.

Hardly let Lan Ting also show off his superiority in knowing many Chinese, silently holding back, if he really had to eat a bite of Lord Yuezhang's flying vinegar, it was indeed enough to laugh and be generous.

To get back to the point, Gu Jicang heard that the two people were not from the Central Plains, and his heart sank.

Because although Emperor Hongfu had not issued an order to prohibit the severance of contact with Dongying, he explicitly forbade the court officials and scholars to have private contact with Dongying merchants, and Fuzhou Shenmen, Shen Shi, Shen Tu, Shen Da and others all have official positions, and the Shen family can be described as a fake Shi clan, and they violated the ban and had personal relations with Dongying people, which is already a violation of the law.

Gu Jicang followed closely and listened carefully to the conversation between the two widows, and the more he listened, the more frightened he became!

It turned out that the reason why the two of them chose this teahouse opened on the street, and also chose the elegant seat on the third floor by the window to "taste tea", in order to peek at the impending assassination! These two people are like the leaders of the assassins, although they did not personally participate in the assassination, they are the ones who are in charge, it is not that they do not have a more secret place to discuss secrets, it is the third floor of this teahouse that can spy on the progress and make it easy to respond!

Gu Jicang didn't know who they wanted to assassinate at that time, but they had accidentally heard about such a major event related to human life, and the first thought that flashed to him was to try to stop it, but it was too late.

Because the teahouse is not far away, in a wine shop at the corner of the street, the assassination has already taken place!
