Chapter 52: My Confidant

At this moment, Zheng Sen and Gu Xi were sitting on the second floor of Hanguang Building drinking tea, yesterday afternoon he and Qian Qianyi had a big quarrel, and they were still a little depressed, so although the two had been sitting for half an hour, he didn't talk much.

Old Jianghu Gu Xi didn't see the depressed look on his face, and when he learned that it was the first time he came to this kind of place, he thought he was having stage fright, so he took the lead in opening the conversation, "Zheng Gongzi, you don't have to be restrained, when you come here, you just have a good play, those things are handled by the people below, let's just drink tea and talk." ”

Zheng Sen grew up in Japan since he was a child, and returned to the Ming Dynasty after the age of seven, the aesthetics of the two sides coincided, causing him to be not very cold to this woman who was a little too plump, but the self-ripe breath on her body made him unable to refuse directly, so he had to pick up the teacup and smile, "What did Xiaoxi say, although I am young, I am not a person who has never seen the world, how can I be restrained?" I'm just looking to see who will be the first to pick up Xie Yi. ”

Gu Xi chuckled for a while, then looked up at the sky in contemplation, "Gongzi wants to ask who will be the first to receive Xie Yi, now I can't say for sure, if the fourth prince was there before, they must have come out on top, and then it would be Wu Yingji, Yu Beibai, Qian Chengzhi, Zhang Fan, and I, alas...... It's a pity, Childe didn't come at the right time. ”

Zheng Chenggong saw that she was so fond of the talented people in Jiangnan, and couldn't help but admire Liu Ruye's decision-making, Gu Xi was indeed not the most beautiful woman in the old courtyard, but she was indeed the most suitable person to hold this cultural meeting, thinking of this, he had a good impression of this big-handed woman.

"It's okay, it's okay! Nandu is a place where humanities gather, even if the scholars of the Restoration Society are hidden, there are always other scholars, and I have time. ”

Gu Xi added him a cup of tea and chuckled, "Childe is really patient, he has this bearing at such a young age, and his future prospects must be limitless!" ”

Zheng Sen remembered the dispute with the teacher yesterday, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed, and sighed, "Xiaoxi praised it, I'm just bored." As for what the future holds, huh...... It's just a joke, the Ming Dynasty now has a strong enemy outside, and there are traitorous ministers inside, and the destruction is only in an instant, the country will not be a country, what is the future to talk about? ”

Seeing that he suddenly became serious, Gu Xi sneered in his heart, and said in his heart, yes, there is another cynical person, just by virtue of this, you and the people of the Fushe have the same smell.

Although she didn't want to, her face became serious with him, "Childe is very right." Although the slave family is just a lowly person who doesn't understand national affairs, he often hears people talk about these things, but none of them have a son who speaks thoroughly. ”

Zheng Sen knew that she was complimenting herself, but still asked, "These are just clichΓ©s, why did I become thorough?" ”

Gu Xi sighed lightly and said, "Huh...... Childe doesn't know. The slave family has been opening this building for five years, and all kinds of people don't know how much they have seen, and they don't know how many times they have heard this kind of words. For example, the day before yesterday, a group of people were here scolding the court, and when they were emotional, they cried bitterly, and grabbed the ground with their heads, so that I went to buy new cups and plates yesterday! However, after they woke up, they went on as usual, as if nothing had happened, and after listening to it too much, the slaves also saw that they were just talking, but the son was different from them! ”

Zheng Sen hurriedly asked, "How can you see it?" ”

Gu Xi covered his face with a fan and chuckled a few times, "Because the son didn't drink!" ”

Zheng Sen just took a sip of tea, and was about to listen to his tirade, but when he heard such a thunderous sentence, a mouthful ......of tea squirted out instantly, Rao is face was serious, and he couldn't help laughing at the moment, "Xiaoxi is really a kind person!" ”

Gu Xi took out a handkerchief to wipe off a few tea stains, and chuckled, "It was just a joke just now." Childe is too serious, and the slave family is a little timid, so he said this joke to relax, but ...... That last sentence is true. ”

Zheng Sen asked with interest, "This time you won't say that I didn't drink a bar?" ”

"Childe used to be able to laugh too!" Gu Xi waved his fan and patted him lightly on the shoulder, "The slave said that Gongzi is different for three reasons. ”

Zheng Sen said, "I want to hear about it!" ”

Gu Xi said, "First, Childe has an extraordinary background, Ling Zun has been on the sea for decades, and has laid a great foundation for you, what others can only say, Childe can do it with a raise his hand." ”

Zheng Sen nodded slowly, "That makes sense, what about the second?" ”

Gu Xi said again, "Gongzi is not like an ordinary scholar in the Ming Dynasty, although the slave family is a lowly person, but he has also seen many literati in this industry, only Gongzi is different." ”

Zheng Sen asked again, "Oh, how is it different?" ”

Gu Xi said again, "The scholars I have seen in the slave family are generally weak and windy, but the prince is both civil and military, and he is extraordinary, this is one of them." Second, these scholars are poor every day, only want to be named on the gold list, and are indifferent to practice, and Childe has traveled everywhere at a young age, as the saying goes, it is better to read thousands of books than to travel thousands of miles, and with this, Childe won again. Third, these scholars like to talk emptyly, while the son is serious and quiet, and he is cautious in his words and deeds, and he can establish a great career with this point! ”

Zheng Sen smiled, "You claim to be ignorant, in my opinion, your knowledge is too much beyond the world!" ”

Gu Xi took a sip of tea, covered his mouth and said with a smile, "The son has praised it falsely, the slave family, like other literati, is just empty talk." Childe said that the Ming Dynasty is in danger now, which is a disaster for us and others, but it is a big opportunity for Childe. ”

"Xiaoxi is really my confidant!" Zheng Sen nodded frequently when he heard this, the unhappiness of arguing with the teacher last night was swept away in an instant, she was right, she had such good resources, she should do a great career, what's the point of fighting with the teacher all day long? Thinking of this, he secretly made up his mind that after the matter was settled, he would leave Nanjing and return to Fujian, and not waste his time here.

Gu Xi laughed wildly when he heard his praise, "I can be introduced as a confidant by my son, and the slave family doesn't know which life it is a blessing." But ......"

Zheng Sen asked, "But what?" ”

Gu Xi looked up at the sky again and did a contemplative state, and said after a while, "If Gongzi wants to establish a great career, it is not possible to rely on martial artists alone, and he must be assisted by literati, although most of the Jiangnan scholars are useless, but there are many who are really capable, why don't Gongzi take this opportunity to make more friends?" ”

Zheng Sen nodded and said, "Well, not bad, not bad!" I traveled to Beijing this time, and I wanted to make more friends with Jiangnan scholars. ”

Gu Xi said, "If Gongzi wants to open up the situation in Jiangnan Shilin, this ring alone is not enough." ”

Zheng Sen knew that she was well-informed, so he hurriedly asked humbly, "Oh, I don't know what Xiaoxi's good plan is?" ”

Gu Xi is a cheerful person, and when he heard this, he said bluntly, "If the son wants to gain a foothold here, it is naturally enough, if he wants to make a difference, he needs to join the Restoration Society." Although they have gone into hiding, they have not broken their muscles and bones after all, and if Gongzi can make friends with them, he will definitely be able to grow like a fish in water and a tiger with wings. ”
