() Early the next morning, the two men settled the bill and left the inn, and walked all the way east in the direction indicated by the shopkeeper. While walking, Chai Jingnan asked,

"Uncle Jiang, that guy said that Gu Xinji was doing that feast three days later, right?"

"It's two days later,"

Jiang Zhen said with a smile,

"Dude said it yesterday, and now it's the next day, which means another day less."

"yes, if you go two days from now, the guests he invited won't be there today, so we shouldn't be able to meet anyone who knows you today, right?"

Chai Jingnan didn't joke with him, and asked very seriously.

Jiang Zhen thought about it, nodded and said,

"That's how it should be."

"That's good,"

Chai Jingnan finally smiled again,

"Let's do something today that will surprise that Gu Xinji."

Let's say that this Gu Xinji, who was originally the largest local farmer, built this villa when his ancestors passed the industry to his generation, and it was named "Pine Forest Villa" because it was located in a pine forest. When this village was first built, there was no clear purpose, one was to show his strong financial resources, and the other was that he felt that being called "Gu Zhuang Master" sounded more pleasant, and that's it.

But later, with the change of the current situation, the owner of Gu Zhuang also had a great change in his heart, until he met Zhong Lun, which gave him a new "purpose" for his life......

The day after tomorrow is the day of the pine forest feast, and this banquet is the beginning of a major plan, and it is absolutely not allowed to be sloppy, so Gu Xinji personally commanded the layout of the villa and all the preparations.

Standing in front of the main hall, looking around the wide hall, he nodded with satisfaction—

This is the main hall of the upcoming "Pine Forest Feast", most of the guests will meet here, and if you settle about 100 people, it should not be a problem, plus there is a flower hall on the side to entertain distinguished guests, it seems that this party is foolproof.

Slowly breathing a sigh of relief, Gu Xinji paced and turned in the direction of Zhuangmen, but at this moment, a strange feeling suddenly arose, and he hurriedly turned back and looked around, but he didn't find anything abnormal.

It's really strange, what is the reason for that feeling-

Shaking his head, he slowly turned around again, and the strangeness followed, and at the same time, it was certain that there was indeed something out of place in this hall.

"Gu Jiu!"

Gu Xinji called out to his personal butler.

Immediately, a middle-aged man with a thin body but a very shrewd figure trotted all the way over.

"Master, do you have any orders?"

This person named Gu Jiu is a distant relative of the Gu family, and he was sent to the mansion to be a scholar for Gu Xinji since he was a child, and it can be said that the two of them grew up together. After the people of the previous life passed away, Gu Xinji became the head of the family, and Gu Jiu became the housekeeper, and he was also Gu Xinji's most trusted person.

At this time, because of some kind of doubt in his heart, Gu Xinji naturally called this person over, and Gu Jiu was also on call as always.

Seeing him coming, Gu Xinji pointed to the hall and said,

"Look, there's anything wrong with this lobby?"

"What's wrong......"

Gu Jiu didn't understand what the master meant by this, whether he was really simply asking for his own opinion, or if he was dissatisfied with something in his heart and came to question himself.

This master of his, with his moody temper, has never been taught since he was a child, so when Gu Jiu heard this, he quickly turned his head and seriously inspected the furnishings in the hall from beginning to end, but he didn't see anything wrong, so he asked cautiously,

"Master, I really don't see anything wrong with it, if the master feels that there is something dissatisfied, please make it clear."

"Well, I don't see anything either,"

Gu Xinji glanced at him impatiently and said,

"It's because I can't see anything that I asked you to come and have a look!"

"The host means ......"

Hearing him say this, Gu Jiu was a little confused, and said in his heart: Could it be that the master is idle and has nothing to do, so he is using me to have fun?

"That's what happened,"

Gu Xinji looked at the blankness on his face again, and felt that what he said was indeed a bit clueless, so he explained,

"I just didn't know why, I always felt that there was something strange in this hall, but I couldn't find it, so I asked you to come and see if there was anything wrong with me."

"That's what happened,"

Gu Jiu suddenly realized,

"Do you want to talk about weird places......

The two of them stood in the middle of the hall and looked around together. After looking at it for a while, Gu Jiu suddenly spoke,

"Master, the little one knows where the weirdness is."

"Where?!"

Gu Xinji hurriedly turned his head to look at him and asked.

Gu Jiu pointed upwards with his pointed chin,

"Look over there."

"Above?"

Hearing his words, Gu Xinji hurriedly looked for prestige, and was really stunned at this time, because the horizontal plaque hanging directly above with the four big characters "Songgu Hanmeng" was missing.

You must know that this plaque was made by him with great painstaking efforts to choose the words, ask someone to write it, and then engrave it, and it is also the certificate that Gu Xinji is most proud of and feels can best reflect his "different" side, and it is an irreplaceable highlight in this main hall.

But now、It's gone.、An empty wall.、The more I look at it, the more I feel ridiculed—

Gu Xinji suddenly became angry and roared,

"Someone! Call me Chang Quan, the head of the nursing home! ”

"Yes!"

There is Zhuang Ding running away.

There was not much time, and a tall and majestic man rushed to the front and said,

"Chang Quan has seen the owner, I don't know what you have to call the villain?"

"What do you command?"

Gu Xinji was really angry,

"What else do you want from the owner of this village?! I ask you, where is the plaque in the main hall? ”

"Horizontal Plaque ......"

Chang Quan hurriedly looked up, and sure enough, the plaque that the owner of the village was very precious and had to explain and introduce those four words to every guest who came to the village was really not there.

"This、The villain really doesn't know ......"

"I don't know? This plaque was hung on it, right in front of the main hall where people came and went, and now it is inexplicably gone, you don't know! What's the use of me keeping you nurses? A bunch of things that only know how to eat for nothing! ”

The more Gu Xinji thought about it, the more angry he became, the more angry he became, the more he wanted to scold, but this scolding became even more angry.

Gu Jiu on the side persuaded in a low voice,

"Master, you dissipate your anger first, the villain calculates that the plaque can be taken down if you want to? It shouldn't be some unreasonable person, thinking that a guest will come in two days, so he will take down the plaque and clean it up. ”

"I said it a long time ago, no one can touch this plaque without my instructions!"

Gu Xinji was still so angry that he didn't know what to do.
