Chapter 200: Snow Appreciation

Chapter 200: Snow Appreciation

In Yangzhou, the snow began to fall last night, and by this time the earth had been covered with a thick layer.

The location is excellent, the scenery is excellent in the study room of the official mansion, the Boshan furnace carved with plum orchid bamboo chrysanthemum is fragrant, the wall is hung with everyone's famous paintings, the bookshelf in the house is full of all kinds of books, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the desk are not ordinary.

Because the room was as warm as spring, Gu Yu was only wearing a white robe, sitting on the wide Taishi chair in front of the desk, his slender fingers lightly knocking on the tabletop, looking through the open window, looking at the exquisite scenery in the courtyard.

"My lord, Yangzhou Sun family invitation..."The glamorous maid came in softly with a gilded name card and said softly.

Gu Yu just waved his hand lightly.

The maid understood, and in response, she put away and retreated obediently.

"Your Excellency...," the soft voice sounded again.

Gu Yu's brows furrowed slightly, and a trace of impatience flashed in his dark eyes.

The maids here are matched with this mansion, Yangzhou Tongzhi carefully selected this mansion for him, and also carefully selected the maids who accompanied him, these women are well-trained and guarded like jade, and they are different from the flow of the red mansion, especially polite.

"My lord....someone outside the mansion is asking to see you...."The maid whispered with a little trepidation.

"I said, I don't see guests today." Gu Yu stood up and said.

"My lord, the man said, it's yours, cousin." The maid lowered her head and replied timidly.

"My cousin?" Gu Yu was slightly stunned, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he immediately narrowed his eyes.

It seems that this woman has come to troubled waters

He slowly stood up and stretched out his arm, "Come on, change clothes." ”

Immediately two feminine maids with a sable fur came quickly, one helped him put on a tie, the other helped him to fix his sideburns, and in the blink of an eye, a young man with a light fur belt, red lips and white teeth, and a beautiful crown appeared in front of them, even though they could see it every day, but they never got tired of looking at it, and the three maids in the house fell into a moment of distraction.

Gu Yu stepped out, this luxurious mink fur was a gift from a wealthy merchant in Yangzhou, light and warm, almost dripping, and it was most suitable for wearing on this winter and snowy day.

Seeing him start, the maid hurriedly got out of the way, bowed her head, and prepared to follow, but Gu Yu stopped in front of the maid who came and went.

"My cousinβ€”" he looked sideways at the very eye-catching maid, and said lightly, "How much did I give you?" ”

The maid's face changed suddenly, and she knelt down, shaking her body and kowtowing.

"Afraid? I don't blame you, I mean, my cousin is very rich, and if she has the opportunity in the future, she will ask for it fiercely..." Gu Yu smiled lightly, shook his clothes and strode out.

Not long after, a carriage drove into the courtyard gate, and the two maids walked down first before helping Gu Banniang get out of the car.

Gu Banniang first took a look at the garden of this private house before casting her eyes straight ahead.

Under the corridor, Gu Yu stood with his hands in his hands, and when he saw her coming, he smiled slightly.

"It's a shame....you shouldn't have come." He said with a sigh.

"yes, alas, I didn't use it in the first place." Gu Bainiang replied calmly.

At the same time, because of Gu Yu's words, her guess was also confirmed.

In this incident of the Gu family, Gu Yu really didn't just sit by and help.

In her previous life, she was ignorant, and she admired the champion who appeared in this family, at that time, in her eyes, this person was an impeccable saint, and he was a star in the sky, in this life, although there was no god-like person in her eyes, but except for her, all people still did not change, Gu Yu was still extraordinary, decisive, had the means, courage and resourcefulness, and was undeniably the best among the people, such a character should have been a great blessing for the Gu family.

It's a pity that everything he fought for and performed extraordinarily for him was to subvert the family in one fell swoop.

If he doesn't have the surname Gu, or his own family doesn't have the surname Gu, Gu Bainiang is stunt and don't have anything to do with it, such a scheming person is deep in the city, ruthless in his heart, compared to fighting to the death because he knows his fate, he is a person who has no scruples and does whatever it takes to succeed.

Such a person, you can never guess what he wants, because I am afraid that he himself does not know what he wants, everything changes according to his nature, and you will never be able to have a heart-to-heart with him, let alone rest assured of him, because he himself does not know where his heart is.

Such a person will only play with others and the palm of his hand, and never want to be held in his hand, which is also because he knows that this person is not kind to their brother and sister, and has repeatedly provoked, but their brother and sister have repeatedly retreated.

If she could, Gu Bainiang would never have to fight with him head-on, but now, she had to come to this point.

As he said, it's a pity that your surname is Gu.

He is bent on subverting the entire Gu clan, and this situation is something that Gu Hai will never allow to sit idly by, the truth can never be buried, when Gu Hai knows all this, he will definitely not spare Gu Yu, and Gu Yu naturally knows this possibility, so he will definitely not leave a bane.

Therefore, since the moment Gu Yu decided to do this, he stood on the opposite side of Gu Hai.

Gu Bainiang would never let her brother fall into such a situation, at least, not when the nest was overthrown, in that case, relying on their brother and sister alone would definitely not be Gu Yu's opponent.

Since sooner or later there will be confrontation, it is better to mobilize people first.

The two of them looked at each other, and almost instantly, their thoughts flashed.

"I've been planning to talk to my sister for a while, and today I've got what I wanted," Gu Yu retracted his gaze and said with a smile, "Please." ”

"It's an honor." Gu Bainiang nodded.

"This place is close to the Slender West Lake, and there is a unique scenery in the snow...."Gu Yu said, while leading Gu Bainiang along a path, the maids were instructed, and someone went to order the arrangement first, and the rest followed quietly behind the two.

Walked not far, climb to the top of a rocky slope, there is a pavilion that is warm in winter and cool in summer, at this time it has already been arranged, placed a thick felt mat, put on the tea set cups, and two large smokers, charcoal burned red, look up, not far away from the lake, at the foot is a plum forest, at this time the red plum blossoms, commensurate with the snow, make people lose their minds.

"If this had been put aside four years ago, I would never have dreamed that one day I would be able to sit in such a place and eat tea and enjoy the snow..."Gu Banniang sighed.

She said this sentence sincerely, this mansion is by no means ordinary people can have, when she was the wife of the Shen family, the Shen family was also the end of the strong crossbow, maybe the Shen grandfather's family in the capital naturally has the ability to buy such a good garden, but as a lower cousin, she naturally has no chance to enjoy, and in this life, even if she is rich, but because of her low status, such mansions only belong to the official eunuch clan, and merchants and craftsmen like them dare not covet it.

"It's just fun in time, why bother about the past and the future..."Gu Yu said, watching the maid sit on her knees and pour tea, and handed Gu Shibanniang a cup.

"You're right." Gu Bainiang nodded, "Young Master Yu should enjoy one more moment while he is still the master here." ”

Gu Yu waved his hand, the maids saluted, got up and retreated.

"Rich man, how much silver do you give my maid?" Gu Yu asked suddenly.

"Not much, but after you leave, it's enough for her to redeem herself..."Gu Bainiang smiled and said, "This is to ask you that the door is too strict, sister, I came after a long journey, and I was trapped outside the door for half a day, and I couldn't enter..."

These maids are specially cultivated in this kind of mansion to entertain distinguished guests, pampered on weekdays, once they entertain guests, they will immediately fall into the sludge, and the good luck is taken away by the distinguished guests and high-ranking officials to be a concubine, which can be regarded as a good home, but most of them are reduced to ordinary maids after accompanying the guests, or are bought into the Qinglou, originally their fate is a plaything, but they were born to be raised as a daughter in general brocade clothes and jade, this kind of change in the sky and the earth is undoubtedly a nightmare for them.

"Okay, my sister has insight into people's desires, and she hits the shot, and admires." Gu Yu smiled and raised his glass.

Gu Bainiang touched him and took a sip each.

"Let's not be polite, let's gossip." Gu Bainiang put down the teacup, looked at Gu Yu and said, "You did all this, right?" No mistakes, not a lot of words"

"Yes, I did it." Gu Yu smiled playfully, turned the teacup in his hand and nodded, "Actually, if it weren't for your brother's involvement, this matter would have been over at this time..."

"Oh?" Gu Bainiang was a little puzzled, "How do you say this?" ”

"It's a long story...."Gu Yu smiled at the corner of his mouth, "It's better for my sister to live in peace, I'll tell you about ten days and a half months...."

Gu Bainiang glanced at him and waved her hand.

"That's it, there's no need to know what the process is, I just need to get the result I want now." She said, poured herself a cup of tea, and poured it for Gu Yu.

"My sister wants results?" Gu Yu asked.

"Naturally, it's the result you don't want to see." Gu Bainiang looked at him and smiled.

Gu Yu laughed, his laughter was cool, and he startled the birds and finches that were foraging in the snow not far away.

Gu Bainiang didn't care, she drank tea slowly, and when his laughter stopped, she suddenly asked, "Gu Yu, can I ask you why you want to do this?" "No mistakes, no skipping words.

"Is this...."Gu Yu held the teacup, with a bit of playfulness, "It's the same reason that you poisoned Gu Baoquan...."

Back then, Gu Baoquan's affairs could be hidden from others, but not Gu Yu, which was not surprising to Gu Banniang.

"I thank you for not reporting me...," she said, raising her glass.

"No, it's because it's useless for me to denounce," Gu Yu raised his glass and touched her, "With your sister's sharp teeth, how can you get out....What am I doing for such a stupid thing that is useless and fruitless?" ”

This time it was Gu Banniang's turn to smile.

"Yes, you're right." She covered her mouth and smiled, retracted her smile and continued, "However, it's different..... I killed Gu Baoquan because he threatened me first... Could it be that the entire Gu family is threatening you? And thou wilt cause them to take their homes and destroy their property and pay their debts, and become slaves? ”

"That's it...."Gu Yu stretched out his hand and pressed his head, "I haven't thought about it, it's different, then I have to think about it again, think about it before I can answer my sister's ....."
