Chapter 5: Straw bales

Steward Song wrapped the snake as it was, walked to Song Zixi's side, and whispered for a moment.

The seventeen-year-old boy looked surprised, nodded and said, "Uncle Song, you can announce the results." ”

Steward Song straightened his robe and waved his hands to everyone, and then he said: "Today's spring hunting, I announce that the first place is the Gu family. ”

"Mingzhu, you are the first!" Shen Yuying happily hugged her and grabbed her twice, looking even happier than her as a client.

"First place hahahaha Pearl first place."

No one refutes.

Qi Feiyan in the crowd turned pale and rushed out: "Why! I'm not convinced! I hunted two snakes, how could I be the first place? You're all partial to her, you're colluding! You cheat! ”

Steward Song patiently explained: "Miss Qi, it's not that I'm partial, the three-eyed blue-eyed snake is a strange thing, in the rules of spring hunting, although it is set to win by quantity, there is also a rule that if you hunt strange things, you can reach tens of millions." ”

Qi Feiyan said angrily: "What a rule! She won first place? How could she get the first place! You cheat! ”

Compared with Qi Feiyan's savagery, someone questioned: "Steward Song, who in this Gusu City doesn't know that Gu Mingzhu can't bow and crossbow, these two snakes, I'm afraid they were shot by Wu Yue, this is cheating!"

Qi Feiyan's angry face changed suddenly, and she suddenly became proud: "Gu Mingzhu, you cheat!" The tone couldn't hide the mockery.

Gu Mingzhu looked at her coldly: "Who said I can't bow and crossbow?"

"Who wouldn't? You say you will, then prove it to us! ”

"That's it, who wouldn't blow big words? I also said that I am the Jade Emperor, so you have to worship me? ”

Wu Yue had a calm face: "Winning or losing has been decided, are you planning to cheat?"

"Yo Young Master Wu, where is this, let's just talk about things......"

Gu Mingzhu knew that if he didn't shut them up today, this bet would not be counted. She looked at the arrow target not far away, and suddenly whispered to Shen Yuying beside her, "Where is the veil?"

Although Shen Yuying was puzzled, she still handed over the handkerchief.

Gu Mingzhu folded the handkerchief, blindfolded his eyes, stretched out his hand and raised his voice: "Bow and arrow."

Everyone was shocked, did she want to shoot the target blindfolded?

Someone sent a bow and arrow, Gu Mingzhu took it, took two steps forward, and took the arrow.

"Wouldn't it? If this is really shot, the Qi family's face will be lost......" someone whispered.

"It's just a fake trick, even if she misses it blindfolded, she has a rhetoric."

Gu Mingzhu held her breath and concentrated, the people around her were noisy, the strong wind blew up her black hair, her clothes were flying, and the girl stood in the center of the field.

Shout!

A dull ring.

The noisy crowd was silent.

Hit the bull's-eye!

Qi Feiyan's face became extremely difficult to look at.

"Good!" Some people couldn't help but cheer.

"Good!"

Gu Mingzhu tore off his handkerchief, smiled at the corner of his lips, and said loudly in a burst of praise: "Prince of the Wang family, can I be regarded as a crossbow like this?"

It was the second son of the Wang family who just said that Gu Mingzhu was cheating.

Wang Ren smiled awkwardly: "Self-...... Naturally. ”

Qi Feiyan's face turned red and shouted, "Gu Mingzhu, you cheat!" You must be cheating! This handkerchief is definitely not blindfolded to you! ”

"Yanyan shut up!" Qi Ming pulled the person down. He looked at Gu Mingzhu with an embarrassed face, waved his hand and saluted, and said, "Miss Gu, it was my sister who was ignorant before, and I also asked the girl to have a lot, don't worry about it like Yanyan." ”

Gu Mingzhu was unmoved: "Young Master Qi's words are not right, your sister is a year older than me, how can I be an adult?" And I was willing to bet on the contract, with Song Xiaogongzi as evidence, everyone present heard it with their own ears, the Qi family wanted to regret it? ”

After a few words, he ridiculed Qi Feiyan for being older than her but her heart was like a needle's eye, and she moved out of the Song family in Zhizhou to exert pressure, Qi Ming was young in the end, and he was choked and speechless for a while.

After winning the gamble, Gu Mingzhu was in a happy mood, looked around, his eyes fell on Qi Feiyan, his smile was dazzling, and he said, "Early tomorrow morning, I will be in front of Gu's house, waiting for Miss Qi's three rings. ”

Out of the school field, the Gu family's carriage was waiting outside, and when he returned home, it was already dark, Gu Mingzhu ate a few mouthfuls of food and went to bed early.

On the second day, Gu Mingzhu had just had breakfast, and the housekeeper Uncle Fu came and said, "Miss, I have taken out the snake gall bladder according to your instructions and soaked it in wine." ”

"One of them was sent to the Wu Mansion."

"Yes." The housekeeper should come down and said, "When I came, the master told me to let the young lady go to the study after breakfast." ”

Gu Mingzhu put down the book in his hand and said, "What is the matter?" ”

"It should be for the sake of Xiangbei."

Gu Mingzhu nodded and said, "I know." ”

Uncle Fu withdrew.

When Gu Mingzhu arrived at the study, Gu Ruyan was having a headache about Xiangbei.

"Daddy." Gu Mingzhu called, looked at the account books piled up on the table, and said, "What happened to Xiangbei?" ”

Gu Ruyan handed her the account book in his hand and said, "A few days ago, your second uncle wrote a letter, saying that Xiangbei's business is losing money every year, and it is not a long-term solution to go on like this, so he sent the account book to Gusu for me to see."

Gu Mingzhu said: "The second uncle suspects that the account book has been tampered with? ”

Gu Ruyan stiffened his face, frowned, and said: "That's what your second uncle meant, he and Fu San turned the account book into folds and couldn't see the fame, in recent years, a lot of manpower and material resources have been spent in Xiangbei, and it is really strange to lose money for three consecutive years."

Gu Mingzhu flipped through the account book, but he didn't see anything famous, and said, "Then Daddy came to me for?" ”

Gu Ruyan said: "The matter of Xiangbei must have a capable person to go over, your brother is not at home now, I will go to Beijing in a few days, in addition to the accident in the capital, I also have to discuss with the Yun family about your marriage with Yun Zhao, think about it, Xiangbei matter, you have to make a trip." ”

Gu Mingzhu said: "Xiangbei belongs to Kyushu, and this time it will take more than a month." ”

"It's urgent, you pack up and get ready to go."

Gu Mingzhu nodded, and Gu Ruyan said again: "By the way, I heard that you won a bet with that girl from the Qi family." ”

Gu Mingzhu pursed her lips and said, "The news spread so fast that even my father knew about it." ”

"You, you...... That's it, let it be. Gu Ruyan shook his head helplessly, and at the end he remembered another incident, and said: "I almost forgot, the matter of going to Xiangbei will be put aside for a while, and when Yun Zhao arrives, the two of you will say something before leaving, and the day should be only one or two days." ”

Gu Mingzhu answered, and after a few more gossips, he withdrew from the study.

The top priority at the moment is the matter of Xiangbei.

In his previous life, Yun Zhao was going to Gusu tomorrow, and he was all about him, and he didn't go to Xiangbei, and he couldn't hear about Xiangbei later, and two years later, the Gu family withdrew to the shop in the north.

Since you decided to go to Xiangbei, you have to find someone to help.
