When Wei Chen and Gu Tingye talked for a short time, Zhu Manniang entered the house with a few plates of side dishes, and after the dishes were arranged, she picked up a wine jug and poured wine for the two.

Zhu Manniang was originally born as a courtesan, and she was familiar with doing these things, Gu Tingye saw it in his eyes and didn't care, this was what he instructed Zhu Manniang to do.

Gu Tingye has always had a plan, although he loves Zhu Manniang very much and treats her very well, he clearly distinguishes respect and inferiority, and has no intention of supporting Zhu Manniang as the main room, even if Zhu Manniang gave birth to her daughter Sister Rong, it is still the case.

For example, in the outer room of Zhu Manniang, who was born from a lowly background, it is the proper meaning of the host to come out to accompany the wine when the host is at a banquet.

Of course, Gu Tingye has a deep affection for Zhu Manniang after all, and it is impossible for her to let her show up like she used to be a courtesan, and the reason why he treats Wei Chen so much today is because the relationship between him and Wei Chen is particularly close and different from others.

However, although Gu Tingye was motivated by good intentions, Wei Chen saw Zhu Manniang's courteous appearance towards him, but his heart was full of reaction, and he was not happy anywhere, and there was always a feeling that the woman in front of him would poison his cup.

After barely having a drink with Gu Tingye, Wei Chen lost his appetite, and immediately asked with a smile: "Miss Zhu, I heard Zhong Huai say that you were cheated of money by your brother and became homeless, such a ruthless and unrighteous bastard is really hateful!" I don't know where he is now, but do I need someone to clean him up and vent his anger for the girl? ”

Zhu Manniang didn't expect Wei Chen to suddenly mention her brother, she was a little flustered for a while, the hand holding the wine jug trembled slightly, and a few drops of crystal wine spilled onto the table.

"Thank you for your kindness."

Zhu Manniang, who came back to her senses, wiped the table with her sleeve, and replied as if carelessly: "It's just that my uncompetitive brother has long been sick and died, and it is still the cemetery that Gu Lang bought for him at his expense." The dead are greater, and I don't blame him now. ”

"Really?" Wei Chen pretended to be surprised and looked at Gu Tingye: "Why didn't Zhong Huai mention it to me?" ”

"It is true." Gu Tingye nodded in affirmation, and then said with some puzzlement: "Xingyun, it's good to drink and drink, what are you doing mentioning these bad things?" ”

"I just suddenly remembered that Miss Zhu had a pitiful background, and I felt a little emotional for a while. It's me Meng Lang, punish yourself with a cup! ”

Wei Chen drank a full glass at the moment, then put down the wine glass, glanced at Gu Tingye with disgust, and said, "Zhong Huai, speaking of which, you did something wrong about this. Miss Zhu has traveled thousands of miles to find you, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a red breeze today, such a strange woman, how can you let her come out and show her face and pour wine for outsiders? ”

Gu Tingye was a little dumbfounded for a while, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Weichen's gourd.

I just didn't treat you as an outsider, so I let Manniang come out, do you think cats and dogs can enjoy such treatment in my place?

It's just that Gu Tingye is a smart person in the end, and he can also see that it seems that since Zhu Manniang entered the house, Wei Chen has behaved a little wrong, so he didn't say anything more in front of Zhu Manniang, but just followed Wei Chen's words and asked Zhu Manniang to retreat first.

Zhu Manniang was naturally obedient to Gu Tingye, and immediately bowed to Wei Chen and Gu Tingye, and then turned around and exited the house.

Looking at Zhu Manniang's back as she disappeared outside the house, Gu Tingye couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart anymore, and hurriedly asked, "Xingyun, what the hell are you doing, could it be that you, like those worldly people, dislike Manniang's background?" ”

Wei Chen said with a smile: "Zhong Huai, what are you talking about, haven't I already praised Miss Zhu for being the red breeze today, the red breeze is running at night, the best story of the world, is this also disgusting?" ”

Gu Tingye snorted unhappily: "You are clearly yin and yang, don't think I can't hear it!" ”

"Sure enough, Zhong Huai still understands me!"

Wei Chen laughed, patted Gu Tingye on the shoulder and explained: "It's not a secret, since Bianjing set off for Yuzhou, your two younger siblings have repeatedly told me that if you meet those beautiful women who claim to be lonely and helpless along the way, you must be cautious and don't be deceived."

When I saw Miss Zhu today, for some reason, this sentence suddenly popped up in my mind. Of course, I understand that Miss Zhu is not such a person, it must be me who is too careful, but Miss Zhu is here, I always feel uncomfortable, so I deliberately found an excuse just now and asked Zhong Huai to invite her away. ”

After listening to Wei Chen's explanation, Gu Tingye's face was full of astonishment, and he immediately said dissatisfied: "What do those two girls know?" It's probably because the people at the bottom are talkative, and they have told them some strange stories about scholars meeting foxes and demons on the road, so they have such a saying. Thanks to Xingyun, you are well-read, and you take the nonsense of the two little girls seriously, I don't know what to do! ”

"Zhong Huai's words are wrong!"

Wei Chen smiled and said: "A woman's mind, I think women always understand better, and I can't catch up with men even if they shoot horses." Although Zhong Huai is a first-class romantic figure in Bianjing, in terms of knowing women, you may not be able to compare with your two younger siblings. ”

When Gu Tingye heard this, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Xingyun, what do you want to say?" ”

Wei Chen looked back at the door of the house, then leaned forward, lowered his voice and said, "I'm just reminding you as a friend, people's hearts are unpredictable, keep an eye on everything." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Gu Tingye to react, Wei Chen stood up, hugged his fist at Gu Tingye and said: "Okay, Zhong Huai, I still have official business, I won't accompany you to continue drinking this wine, take a step first, and say goodbye!" ”

"That's leaving?"

Gu Tingye was still stunned by what Wei Chen had just heard, and it wasn't until Wei Chen stepped out of the door that he came back to his senses and stood up in a hurry.

"I forgot to tell you that tomorrow Zhao Tuanlian will hold a banquet in Jixian Restaurant, and specially asked me to invite you to go, this is an invitation, and then!"

After speaking, Gu Tingye took out a beautifully framed letterhead from his arms, and shot it at Wei Chen.

Zhao Zongquan?

Wei Chen paused when he heard this, turned around, and the flying invitation hit his waist and fell to the ground immediately.

Wei Chen's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, he supported his waist with one hand, picked up the invitation card from the ground with the other, and then glared at Gu Tingye, who was smiling at him, before turning around, waving his hand holding the invitation card backwards, and went straight out.

Seeing Wei Chen out of the courtyard, Gu Tingye returned to the table and sat down, raised his wine glass and drank it all, then twisted a salted pea and threw it into his mouth.

"I'm just reminding you as a friend, people's hearts are unpredictable, keep an eye on everything."

The words that Wei Chen had just left behind echoed repeatedly in Gu Tingye's mind, making Gu Tingye's heart extremely disturbed.
