Chapter 109: The Water Is Too Deep
The fast horse arrived in front of Gui Cao, and the person on the horse got off the horse, and the person who came was Xu Qian, who was in the limelight.
Horses are naturally rented to support the scene, with the Xu family's background, they are not luxurious enough to raise horses, even if they have this spare money, with Xu Chang's stinginess, I'm afraid don't think about it.
The Xu family is already too lively, although many relatives have stayed at the inn, but so many people gather there, it is still annoying, Xu Qian heard that this teacher was leaving, so he stole a spare time to pull the relationship.
Gui Cao glanced at Xu Qian, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.
After the hospital examination, this inconspicuous talent in front of him has actually become a grasshopper in a boat with Gui Cao, although Gui Cao usually has a straight face, but today he wants to leave Hangzhou, but no one came to see him off, everyone avoided him like a snake and scorpion, Xu Qian rushed to the scene, but let him have some relief.
Xu Qian dismounted and said to Gui Cao: "The student has seen the adult......
Gui Cao smiled, pressed his hand, and said, "Don't be polite, and don't say those hypocritical and polite words, come, let's talk casually." ”
He took Xu Qian's hand, pulled him to the horse pavilion outside the post station, and sat on the stone pier in the pavilion, while the woman named Zhi'er stood slim behind him, looking at Xu Qian through the light veil with a pair of curious eyes.
Xu Qian bowed and sat down, and then said: "It is really ...... for the imperial court to belittle the grandmaster for no reason."
Gui Cao pressed his hand again, and said with a smile: "These things should not be mentioned again, the old man has long been prepared, but you, at a young age, are now pivotal, and in recent days, his actions are as dazzling as meteors, and the old man has watched countless people, and the only one who can't see through it is you!" ”
He sighed, and then said: "But the meteor is dazzling, but it can't last long, the wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, you are born poor, from the beginning of the criticism, if you are low-key it doesn't hurt, but you do the opposite, sooner or later there will be a big disaster, the old man sees that you are smart and clever, and will become a great weapon in the future, so today I give a warning, I hope you can take it as a warning, and act more carefully in the future, it is not good to look forward to the future, but it is not a good thing to be too sharp." ”
As soon as he came up, he told Xu Qian about the big truth, in fact, Xu Qian didn't know these big truths? It's just that the shape is like this, and he can't be allowed to change his course anymore. Xu Qian said: "The teachings of the grandmaster, the students remember, but the students are also a last resort, in the past, when others saw that I was from a poor background, everyone was eager to step on it, I can tolerate it once, but I can't tolerate the second and third times." And now, I worship under Master Xie, and someone wants to borrow me and insult my teacher's lintel, how can the student be indifferent? Besides, how can a man and a husband be at the mercy of these philistines? If students are asked to choose, they would rather be the meteor that pierces the sky and is fleeting, rather than do nothing and act according to the eyes of others. ”
The words made the woman's heart standing behind Gui Cao chuckle involuntarily, and she couldn't see her joy and anger clearly behind the veil, but she was thinking in her heart: "This surname Xu's words are the same as what Brother Fang Cai said, Xu Qian wants to be a meteor, what the second brother thinks, plans and pursues, how can it not be this flashing but dazzling star?" ”
Gui Cao's cheeks twitched slightly, then he laughed, and couldn't help nodding his head and said, "Although your words are not a long-term way, they have won my heart, hey...... If you hadn't been under the door of Master Xie, the old man really wanted to put you into the door wall, you have this insight and talent at a young age, and you will definitely have a blockbuster day in the future......" His eyes were gloomy, as if he had some understanding, and said: "You are in Hangzhou, you will have to take the township test in the near future, if you can be lifted, you will want to go to Beijing in the future, you can go to see my brother, then the old man will repair a book, and my brother will definitely settle for you." ”
Xu Qian's words touched his heart, in a sense, Gui Cao is lonely, he and Xu Qian are essentially the same person, at this time touched his heart, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart, Xu Qian is no longer a later view, with a bit of good friend in his tone, he immediately said: "It's not too early, the old man is also leaving, if there is a chance in the future, the old man will have a long talk with you." ”
The carriage was rolling, Xu Qian and the woman watched the carriage leave, Xu Qian's psychology felt strange, although he had never seen this degrading official, but he walked as freely as Gui Cao, but he was afraid that there were not many.
If in the past, if Xu Qian had to evaluate Gui Cao, he could only describe it as exhaustive and ambitious. But a conversation just now made him suddenly realize that Gui Cao is not ambitious, nor is he unscrupulous, but he is unwilling, there will always be some ambitious people in this world who are not willing to be under mediocrity and don't want to look at villains.
Ask yourself, why is Xu Qian not such a person?
Xu Qian sighed secretly in his heart, and thought of what Gui Cao had just said, if he had the opportunity to go to Jingshi, he could visit the Gui family's brother, but I don't know what Gui Cao's intention was in arranging this? Could it be that Gui Cao is trying to pull herself on their boat? But who are the people behind this cinnamon calyx?
Of course, he didn't believe that just one Gui Cao could plan such a big thing, not to mention anything else, just say that he was suddenly transferred to Zhejiang to study, which was obviously arranged by someone in Beijing before, how could he do it with his brother in Hanlin alone?
The water here is only afraid to be very deep.
Xu Qian smiled bitterly in his heart, and was about to lead the horse, but a carriage stopped steadily beside Xu Qian, but it was the woman with a light veil who leaned out of the window and said to Xu Qian: "Is Xu Gongzi willing to go together?" ”
It's too **, and I accompany a woman in a car, it stands to reason that the women of the dynasty try to have as little contact with men as possible, but Xu Qian seems to be lucky, but at the moment this woman is close to the age of double ten, much older than Xu Qian, theoretically speaking, there seems to be no place for men and women to avoid suspicion.
Xu Qian was also not polite, handed over the horse to the woman's entourage, and boarded the car lightly, but he couldn't see the woman's face, so he thought to himself: "This woman is so old, I'm afraid that she has already made a promise, but I don't know whose family it is?" Seeing that her relationship with Gui Cao is very close, could it be a concubine? ”
He immediately shook his head again: "It can't be a concubine, if it's a concubine, how can you stay in Hangzhou?" Besides, this woman's demeanor is not like it. ”
He was thinking wildly, and the woman suddenly said: "You can call me Gui Zhi'er, your big name, I have been famous for a long time, yes, I heard that your Xu family still wants to escort the imperial envoy Li Gu into Beijing, right?" ”
Xu Qian glanced at Gui Zhi'er, and couldn't help but feel that this woman was very well-informed, so he said: "The Xu family is just acting in accordance with the rules." ”
Gui Zhi'er seemed to be unable to help but smile, looked at Xu Qian faintly through the light veil, and said: "It's just a matter of deceiving some rural villagers with this kind of trickery, but you can't deceive me, this Li Gu is a vote sent by your father to Jingshi, hey...... Your Xu family is too insidious, your father entered the East Factory this time, but I am afraid that he will be of great use after going to Jingshi. ”
Xu Qian's heart was guessed through by her at a glance, and she couldn't help but say: "Miss seems to be very well-informed, and she knows everything about this Jingshi and Hangzhou." ”
Gui Zhi'er said flatly: "This is nothing, but I want to advise you, this Li Gu is not only your father's entry step, but also a hot potato, you want to be careful if you want to mess up." But...... You have made such a big noise, at least no one will provoke you again in the near future, in fact...... I have something I can ask you to help with. ”
Help......
Xu Qian glanced at Gui Zhi'er curiously and said, "What do you want me to help?" ”
Gui Zhi'er said: "I am a weak woman left in Hangzhou by my brother, but there are some things that have to be done, you come to me in a few days, and then I will make it clear that things are done, and your benefits are indispensable." ”
She sold a pass, which made Xu Qian curious, but at this time, she couldn't help but pretend to be a little reserved, so as not to be looked down upon, so she could only smile bitterly and said: "It's not to be a traitor, I will never do bad things after I am loyal." ”
Gui Zhi'er looked at him coldly through the light veil, if Xu Qian could see her eyes, he would definitely be able to see the meaning in this look: "Boy, who are you, I don't know?" ”
