Chapter 540: Reputation

Gu Yingying peeked at Li Yuan's heart, but suddenly she felt that something was wrong with her, why was Li Yuan so happy to be able to get her grandfather's favor? Could it be ...... Gu Yingying suddenly felt a little fever on her face, and hurriedly scolded herself for not thinking nonsense, and turned her eyes to Li Yuan again.

"Captain Li, this is my uncle, the father of the eldest lady of Yingying, the eldest son of the head of the family, Zhiyuan, this one is the second master Zhitu, this is the third master Zhiyao." Gu Jiuyiyi introduced three middle-aged people.

Li Yuan stepped forward to salute them one by one, and he was commensurate with Shibo. Of course, it is to give Gu Yingying face, and also to show humility, otherwise, with Li Yuan's identity, even if the age difference is dozens of years, there is no need to call himself a junior, and these three people owe back the courtesy slightly.

"This one is my Gu family Sun Yaode, the elder brother of the eldest lady, you are close and close." Gu Jiu introduced the young man.

Li Yuan smiled and arched his hand: "Brother Gu is polite, Brother Gu is really a talent, all the Gu family are splendid characters, and they are really famous, and they are extraordinary." ”

That Gu Yaode snorted from his nose, his expression was extremely arrogant, obviously he was very disdainful of the little lieutenant in front of him, not only did he disdain, but he also wanted to find trouble with Li Yuan.

"This Captain Li from the Chu State, do you know what kind of wrong things you have done?" Gu Yaode shouted coldly.

"Brother Gu, forgive me for being stupid, I don't understand what you said." Li Yuan was a little surprised.

"Don't want Brother Gu to be affectionate. I don't call you a brother, you don't use that set of sycophants to get close to me. Let me ask you, I heard that you took my sister back to Suzhou? Gu Yaode shouted coldly.

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, what's wrong?" ”

"What's wrong? You rode with my sister for a day and a night, didn't you? Gu Yaode shouted.

Li Yuan suddenly understood, it turned out that it was because of this incident, and Gu Yaode must have blamed himself for acting abruptly.

"Big brother, what are you going to do? What do you ask? Gu Yingying frowned and reprimanded.

Gu Yaode glared at Gu Yingying and said, "Can't I ask?" How can you, a single girl, ride alone for a day and a night with this lowly soldier? If this spreads, won't my Gu family teach people to poke their backbones in the back? ”

Gu Yingying said angrily: "Big brother, what are you talking about?" Isn't it to tarnish my reputation? The matter is urgent, I am in a hurry to come back to report the latest news of the Jin army, Captain Li's horse is fast, I begged him to take me back with me, what is this? ”

Gu Yaode sneered: "What's there? You don't know who you are? You are the eldest lady of my Gu family, how can you be so? And、And you're soon very different, how can you be so willful? If this gets to Hangzhouβ€”"

"Yaode, stop talking!" Gu Zhiyuan shouted in a deep voice, interrupting Gu Yaode's words in time.

Gu Yingying frowned and said, "Big brother, what are you talking about?" What would my identity be so different? What is transmitted to Hangzhou or something, make it clear. ”

"Yingying, don't say it, your eldest brother is thinking about the reputation of my Gu family, and your behavior is indeed a little inappropriate. Although the matter is urgent, it should not be so casual. It's okay if this Captain Li is a righteous man and a gentleman, but if he is a person with evil intentions, wouldn't it be ...... That's it, don't talk about it again, that's the end of it. Gu Zhiyuan said in a deep voice.

The father opened his mouth to stop, the Gu family brothers and sisters didn't dare to say more, Gu Yingying only glared at Gu Yaode fiercely, and then turned her apologetic gaze to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan's face was as usual, and he stood there quietly. He saw the dispute between the Gu family's brothers and sisters, father and son just now, but these were not the slightest embarrassment for the experienced Li Yuan.

A noble son like Gu Yaode, who was born in a famous family, Li Yuan has seen too much, and he has also learned more bad contempt than Gu Yaode, all of which Li Yuan has already ignored. Li Yuan was just smacking Gu Yaode's words that were cut off by Gu Zhiyuan, what identity is different, what Hangzhou knows how, it seems that there is something greasy in it, as if this Gu Yaode seems to have almost exposed a secret.

"Yaode, go back and rest, there's nothing for you here." Gu Mingli, the head of the Gu family, frowned, and his expression was very displeased.

"Grandfather." Gu Yaode shouted.

"Still not going?" Gu Mingli shouted.

Gu Yaode didn't dare to say more, agreed in a low voice, glared at Li Yuan fiercely, and strode away.

"Captain Li, you are smiling. But he wasn't wrong about this, after all, you ride together for a day, and it is inevitable that people will talk about it. If I am known at this time, it will inevitably be talked nonsense in private. But the old man doesn't mean to blame you, it's not a big deal, I hope you don't take it to heart. Gu Mingli smiled.

Li Yuan nodded and said, "It's a poor thought, I wouldn't have done this if I knew it would be like this." ”

Gu Mingli smiled slightly and said, "Don't mention this matter, let's talk about business." Lao Xing, bring a stool for Captain Li and let him sit down and talk. ”

Master Xing promised to bring a wooden bench and invite Li Yuan to sit down, Li Yuan thanked him and sat opposite Gu Mingli, but listened to Gu Mingli and said: "Captain Li, before you come, the old man listened to Yingying talk about what happened in Wujin County.

Your handling is very proper, the shipwreck blocking the river was very decisive, buying time for the people to evacuate, it was a very important move, Captain Li acted so properly, no wonder your majesty trusted you so much. ”

Li Yuan glanced at Gu Yingying, and arched his hand to Gu Mingli and said, "Gu Weng praised, speaking of which, I also want to thank your Gu family." If it weren't for the eldest lady providing several grain ships for the Gu family, this method would not have been implemented.

Your Gu family has lost three, no, it should be four big ships, plus tens of thousands of stones of grain and countless goods, this loss is really not small. I'm afraid that you will be blamed. Well, these losses of the Gu family will be compensated in the future. ”

Gu Mingli stroked his beard and smiled: "Compensation?" Does Captain Li's words count? You can actually promise to compensate us, which makes the old man a little surprised. ”

Li Yuan realized that he had missed his mouth, and hurriedly explained: "In the lower official and low position, naturally he can't be the master, and he can't compensate me for even selling my bones." I mean that I will report this matter to my Majesty, and Your Majesty may make amends as appropriate. ”

Gu Mingli smiled and waved his hand: "My Gu family will not lose a few ships, tens of thousands of stones, grain and some goods, so I will reach out to compensate, Captain Li will inevitably underestimate my Gu family." The Jin army crossed south to attack Wu Yue, and my Gu family was the people under Wu Yue's rule, and it was my duty to resist foreign enemies. Even if all the family business is dedicated to fighting the enemy army, my Gu clan will definitely not frown at all. ”

Li Yuan hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Gu Weng's words are inspiring, but he is narrow-minded. I think that if the soldiers and civilians of Suzhou heard Gu Weng's words, they would definitely be enthusiastic and fight against the enemy army without hesitation. ”

Gu Mingli said with a smile: "Then there is no need to publicize it, but do what should be done, regardless of fame and fortune, this is one of my Gu family mottos." ”

Li Yuan nodded and said, "I've been taught." ”

Gu Yingying said mischievously on the side: "So, grandfather, you won't blame me?" I'm still a little worried. ”

Gu Mingli smiled and said: "Silly girl, slow to say that this is what my Gu family should do, even if this thing should not be done, how can grandfather blame you." As long as you say a word, even if you ask for my old bones, I will give you this old bone to dispose of. ”

Gu Yingying was moved to rest her head on Gu Mingli's arm, her face full of happiness.

Gu Zhiyuan, who was sitting on the side, said with a smile: "Father, don't spoil Yingying so much, you will spoil her." ”

Gu Mingli shouted: "If you don't spoil her, do you spoil you?" I have taken care of my family for generations, who can behave like a warbler girl. Can the family's business and big and small things be done without her help? Which of you is better than her? ”

Gu Zhiyuan hurriedly stopped, and the two brothers beside him also looked embarrassed.
