I thought that she should go to the water house temporarily to do errands, and she would come out from time to time, and then protect her all the way, but I didn't want to wait for a long time, but I still didn't see anyone.

Only then did he look at the maids who came and went in the house, and they were all dressed like Yuntang today, could it be that she was here to do an errand?

Why did she hide it, even her father and mother coaxed it?

Puzzled, he made up his mind, went back and asked his mother, she and her father were moving around a lot in several famous families in Shucheng, and they must be clear about the water house.

Worried like this, he hesitated in place for a long time before leaving, faintly uneasy.

Gu's yard

Gu's mother sorted out the account book in her hand, and looked at Gu Xuxing on the side from time to time, this little girl chased her after dinner, and she didn't know why. She laughed:

"Water house? Your father didn't ask you to take care of the affairs of Jiangnan, why did you ask about the water house? ”

"I have long heard that the water house is the first family in Shucheng, we settled here, how can I not know a thing or two, today I suddenly became interested, mother, you can talk to me." Gu Xuxing said coquettishly, took the bird's nest from the hands of his subordinates, and respectfully served it to Gu's mother.

Gu's mother stirred lightly, and said with a smile: "This water house is indeed worthy of the name of the first family in Shucheng, its ancestors have been in business for five generations, passed down from generation to generation, and it is more powerful than our wine brewing merchants who came out with grace halfway, so I handed over the worship post when I first arrived here, and saw that the old lady of the Shui family is really a shrewd person, and even your father's proud temperament persuaded me to be kind to him and not cause trouble." ”

"How can my mother grow up with other people's ambition and destroy her own prestige," Gu Xuxing said a little proudly, "I want us to be knights, but I'm afraid that they won't be able to do business?" ”

Gu Muci smiled, "You, don't remember our famous title, now you are not unclear about the situation, the one above is on guard, I am afraid that we will hinder him." I'm afraid you don't know that the deceased old man of this water house has also won the Chrysostom of the one above, and the official lord has rewarded it, but people can see it through, and the king is like a tiger, and they rejected the official and honestly returned to Shucheng to do business. ”

Gu Xuxing was surprised, thinking that his own title was immediately spelled out by a knife, and what kind of appreciation did the Shui family rely on, "Mother, let's be more careful, what happened, why can the Shui family, a businessman, get such a reward?" ”

"I don't know much about this matter," Gu's mother said, recalling that Gu's father had said it intentionally or unintentionally, "I remember that it seems to be related to the Kansai Rebellion." ”

"Mother is referring to the raising of an army to defeat the demon concubine?" Gu Xu Xing said suspiciously, he especially remembered that the saint died at that time, and after the succession of the throne, the demon concubine spoke of the world and disturbed the court, and then there was the Guanxi Rebellion and the army to crusade.

"Exactly", a bowl of bird's nest is half-seen, Gu Mu thinks that he has lost his slimness recently, and he no longer eats more, "The crusade against the demon concubine that day was the soldiers and horses led by your father, and now I think about it, if he was not ordered at that time, we are still sitting on a fief, where would we be running around like this." ”

Seeing that the topic was about to be pulled away, Gu Xuxing thought for a moment and asked, "I don't know if my mother knows what the character of the Shui family is and treats her subordinates well?" ”

Gu's mother wondered, "How could you ask such a question?" ”

Gu Xuxing's expression was a little unnatural, and he only took Gu's mother's hand and said: "Today, I saw that the servants who came in and out of the water house were all dressed in a neat manner, and they were more delicate than ordinary girls, so I guessed that the master above was probably good." ”

"It's a good ......," Gu's mother said: "As far as I know, the Shui family is very lenient to the next person, the third son under the knee of Mrs. Shui, the eldest young master and the second young master of the water are also good-natured, and they also take care of the servants a lot, but the rumors of the third young man are very absurd, stubborn, and stubborn." ”

"The third son?"

Gu Xuxing omitted Gu's mother's last sentence, just listening to the fact that there were three sons in the water house, his heart was immediately unsteady.

Since Yuntang is doing things inside, he has to meet these rich sons, just like her playful and provocative appearance, if they have a mind for her......

Or maybe those sons are more beautiful than Pan An, with an extraordinary bearing, she is simple-minded, and she has to be emotional...... And what about him......

Stop! Stop! Stop!

He stopped the thoughts in his head, and didn't dare to think about it anymore, the desire to win or lose came up at this time, "Mother, how does the appearance and character of the three young masters compare to me?" ”

Gu's mother looked at him with a smile, surprised that her own children had always disdained to compare with others, but now they were compared with the Shui family, and said warmly: "The dragon among my sons has both talents, they can't compare, even the men in the world are not as good as you!" ”

Listening to his mother's praise, Gu Xuxing's mood was a little calmer, but he still felt that it was not a taste, and after chatting with Gu's mother for a few words, he returned to the room with some worries.

It was night, tossing and turning on the couch, distraught. Yuntang's deliberate concealment always reassured him, she acted like this, the reason for which was unknown, thinking that she saw those personable sons and brothers every day, she couldn't wait for her to return to the leave, and wanted to go straight to the water house to find her to understand.

But no! She deliberately concealed it, and if she dared to ask, she was afraid that she would be unhappy, and it was not easy to gain her favor, and if it disappeared, he would not even find a place to cry.

In this way, he had all kinds of cranky thoughts, and he still had no direction for a long time, until the fifth watch did not fall asleep in a hazy way.

Besides, Yuntang's side, from the outside to the water house, Fang entered the gate and saw that there was something wrong with everyone's eyes looking at her, and when she opened the greasy and fragrant door, she felt that the atmosphere was solemn, and she was a little frightened out of thin air. After taking a few steps inside, a person knelt on the ground holding a thorn, and the man's body was staggering, thinking that he had been kneeling for a long time.

She walked quickly to the side of the man and asked in a low voice, "Brother Dongzi, why are you kneeling?" Messing with the young master? ”

Dongzi's eyes were watery, and he looked at her and said without grievance: "It's not because of you, and I don't know when you were so precious in front of the young master, I can't even call and call." ”

Yun Tang was surprised, and before he could think about it, the people in the room had already heard the sound outside, and at this time he came to the door, with cold eyebrows, and looked at her and said coldly:

"Don't get in yet!"

I don't want to see you for a day, Shui Yingzheng was angry for no reason, Yun Tang trembled, and his bones stood on end by this roar, and his eyes ...... It's really a piece of ice!

She hurriedly walked a few steps to him, Gu Xuxing's cloak was already a little longer, she panicked, she didn't pay attention to the risk of stepping on the cloak and fell, and staggered a few steps before standing firmly.

It was these few steps that she rushed to the front of Shui Yingzheng, and after reacting, she hurriedly retreated, respectfully waiting for him to enter the room before she followed, and secretly cheered herself up in her belly: Even for the 500 taels of gold, she had to endure it again in this greasy fragrance.
