Chapter 123: Not Happy
"Gu Gongzi, I haven't seen you for some days!"
The people got off the horse in front of him, and although there was some surprise, Wei Xiangjun still took the initiative to say hello.
Since Wei Xiangjun and Gu Shu made it clear that time, she really hadn't seen this for a long time, and even Yin Niangzi no longer set foot in the main cultivation hall.
She also offended people.
Businessmen pay attention to business and do not become benevolent and righteous, even if the marriage cannot be negotiated, Wei Xiangjun does not want to turn against others.
What's more, she has always had a good impression of Gu Shu.
After staring at Wei Xiangjun for a while, Gu Shu asked, "How is the eldest girl?" ”
How else can she be lately?
Wei Xiangjun also admitted it, she was at odds with this Hengyang City, and she lived for two lifetimes, and her heart was always in her throat.
Bi Xue also saluted beside her, and asked casually, "How did Gu Gongzi get here?" ”
"Someone's family has a funeral, and I come to mourn."
Gu Shu said vaguely, but Wei Xiangjun immediately guessed whose family was doing the funeral.
As soon as the curfew was lifted early in the morning, Wei Xiangjun borrowed a carriage and sent the master and them to Xifu.
Halfway down the road, they were blocked from the road, just for a long line in front of them, all of which were carriages of condolences to the Changning Mansion.
He really hated the surname Gao, and Wei Xiangjun didn't want to ask Gu Shu anything.
Those who are mixed in the officialdom, if they are not like General Yue, and they are not compatible with the high power, I am afraid they will have to sell a face to the dead ghost.
Gu Shu ...... In the end, it is an unrelated person, Wei Xiangjun doesn't care who others want to cling to.
"Gu Gongzi went to the Changning Mansion, right?"
Bi Xue's mouth was also fast, and she said directly, "They are not good people." Are you really going, aren't you afraid of hurting your name? ”
Wei Xiangjun hurriedly grabbed Bixue.
In the end, if someone with a heart hears this, it is not to make trouble for yourself.
Especially, Gu Shu's face was red at the moment.
"Thanks for mentioning that."
Gu Shu was indeed ashamed.
Although Gao Quan leans towards the government and the opposition, he is notorious, and even Xu Laoguo knows this person.
Gu Shu was also a scholar of Qinggao, but the responsibility was in his body, and he was disgusted, and he had to be humiliated.
Gu Shu just planned to fool this matter over, but he didn't want Wei Xiangjun to have a prejudice against him because of this.
When he looked at Wei Xiangjun, Gu Shu's motives were indeed impure.
But when talking about marriage later, Gu Shu gave birth to another layer of ideas. If he can marry such a capable and intelligent girl, his mother will definitely like it.
Originally, Gu Shu thought that everything would fall into place. The dream of having both in one fell swoop turned into nothing in a blink of an eye because of Xu Qi's words.
Xu Qi is the next head of the Xu family and his master, Gu Shu does not dare to disobey orders.
Even according to Xu Qi's instructions, Gu Shu was engaged to Gao Zhan, a sister-in-law like a lady, and also took this opportunity to stay in Beijing.
Gu Shu is now a bookkeeper in Honglu Temple, and his boss praises his talent and learning, and he is willing to take him with him for some important things.
At the beginning, his goal of climbing to the top of the exhibition was achieved. Later, as long as Gu Shu didn't make a mistake and wanted to get confidential information, he would naturally have a lot of opportunities.
But no one expected that Gao Zhan would die at this time.
Just now in the Gaofu Spiritual Shed, in front of the relatives and friends present, the little lady of Changning Gong sent out all the concubines who had never given birth to children in Gao Zhan, including Gu Shu's "eldest sister-in-law".
Seeing this scene, the big stone that Gu Shu had been blocking in his heart for a long time finally fell to the ground.
He can retire from his family business.
All the way out, Gu Shu felt inexplicable joy in his heart, and his mind was full of Wei Xiangjun's shadow.
This girl is the most gentle and virtuous lady Gu Shu has ever seen, and she is also the most generous and considerate, and the best candidate for a good wife.
Then, Wei Xiangjun stood in front of him so suddenly.
Perhaps, this is a godsend.
This time, Gu Shu wants to marry someone he really likes according to his own will.
What he likes...... Only Wei Xiangjun.
Even if Xu Qi would ask about this in the future, Gu Shu would also think of a reason.
is also working for Liang Guo, he is meticulous, and so is Wei Xiangjun, who happens to take care of each other.
When Xu Qi mentioned that Wei Xiangjun was actually his subordinate, in addition to being surprised, Gu Shu also felt deep sympathy for the girl.
Wei Xiangjun is a native of Jibei and the daughter of the Marquis of Hanxiang, and he threw himself under Xu Qimen, but he is afraid that there are some grievances that are not enough for outsiders.
"Miss Weida......"
Gu Shu plucked up the courage to open his mouth, but without saying a word, his face turned red unconsciously.
Wei Xiangjun was also quite uncomfortable, it was she who saw that the situation was wrong and rejected others first, which was considered unkind. This time, she really didn't know what to say.
Gu Shu hesitated for a long time, and finally burst out of a sentence, "I don't know how Dr. Zheng and Mrs. Zheng are now?" My sister always wanted to go over to see them, but she was so busy taking care of the children that she couldn't pull away. ”
"Okay!"
Wei Xiangjun thought for a while and added, "My master and my mother have been living here for the past few days. ”
Although he won't be able to deal with much in the future, Wei Xiangjun can't deceive people with his words. If Gu Shu wants to go in to visit, she will have to do the friendship of the landlord.
"Oh......"
Gu Shu glanced at the gate of the West Mansion, his gaze quickly swept over Wei Xiangjun, and he lost the second half of his sentence.
The two stared at each other for a long time, but Wei Xiangjun broke the silence first, "Gu Gongzi, the little girl still has some things, go first!" ”
Gu Shu didn't stop him, but before Wei Xiangjun turned around to get into the car, he asked coldly, "How can Miss Wei recognize Xu Qi?" ”
Wei Xiangjun immediately turned around and glanced at Gu Shu.
Hearing the name "Xu Qi" from Gu Shu's mouth, Wei Xiangjun was somewhat surprised. In her opinion, the two are completely incompatible.
Bi Xue on the side said: "Doctor Zheng and the girl have saved Fifth Brother Xu's master, and he is familiar with the people in our Zhengxiu Hall. Uncle Heng was released, and he also had to take care of it. By the way, how does Gu Gongzi know about Fifth Brother Xu? ”
Fifth Brother Xu......
Gu Shu really didn't expect that Wei Xiangjun and Xu Qi had such a relationship.
Who Xu Qi's master was, Gu Shu really couldn't guess. But he figured it out at this moment, Wei Xiangjun threw himself under Xu Qimen, maybe for her father, who was demoted out of the capital.
Wei Xiangjun is also a fool.
"I'm with him...... Fellow. ”
Gu Shu pondered for a moment and said, "Xu Qi is the wisest person I have ever met, and he can be called both literary and martial. It's just that he is quite deep in the city, and he often teaches people to guess their minds, and when the girl deals with him, she is still a little more wary. If...... If he wants to embarrass you, tell me that is. ”
In order to make meritorious contributions, Xu Qi actually held an innocent girl hostage, which is really not a gentleman.
"Okay!"
Wei Xiangjun said with a smile.
Gu Shu should not only know Xu Qi, but may even be very familiar with it, otherwise, he would not be able to explain Xu Qi's character so thoroughly in a few words.
Are the two fellow villagers?
That's a bit ...... Meaning.
Gu Shu said goodbye first this time.
Seeing that the people got on the horse, Bi Xue approached Wei Xiangjun, "Now it seems that this Gu Gongzi is really not as good as Fifth Brother Xu." ”
"How can you tell?"
"Last night, Fifth Brother Xu sacrificed his life to save a large family, but not everyone has the courage. The girl in front of her had accidents several times, and he also stepped forward to save her. It's this one, don't talk about the guts, it's not long-hearted at all. Hearing that Dr. Zheng and his wife had changed places, he was reluctant to ask more, let alone go in and take a look. The girl rejected him at the beginning, and she was also smart! ”
"Alright, don't get in the car yet!"
Wei Xiangjun interrupted with a smile, and unconsciously glanced in the direction Gu Shu left.
On the steps of the ruins of the Zheng Mansion, Wei Xiangjun furrowed his brows and watched the guys in the Zhengxiu Hall cleaning up the mess there.
The fire almost burned down Zheng's house.
It is also thanks to the earlier days that Mrs. Zheng took Wei Xiangjun to send the valuable things at home to Jingyang, otherwise the family wealth would be lost at this time, and she would really want to cry without tears.
In other words, the fire burned really strangely.
Someone from the fire camp came yesterday, and after a closer look, they said that the fire started from the courtyard.
But no one has lived in Zheng's house for a long time, except for the weeds on the ground, there has been no firewood and other things that are easy to burn in the yard.
Besides, the fire never burned in front of it, but it was the night when the family returned, and it was at the curfew.
It's weird.
The shopkeeper came back from outside, "Girl, I have hired a craftsman, and I will come over in a moment to see how you can repair it later." ”
Wei Xiangjun shook his head, "No need to repair it, let's leave it here for now!" When I turned around, I led Master and them to Jingyang for a few days of peaceful birthdays. ”
After being stunned for a moment, the shopkeeper also agreed, "Doctor Zheng has a backbone, and if he wants to live for a few more years, he really can't work hard." Now that Hengyang City is in chaos, we can't afford to provoke it, can't we still hide! I remembered that just now I came from Xifu, and another one was copied. ”
"Who's home?"
"It's the Duke of Qin who is no more than two years younger than Gao Quan, but he has to worship others as his godfather. It is said that he was greedy for military salaries and engaged in favoritism. The person who raided the house on the back wall of the garden of the Qin State Mansion smashed out tens of thousands of taels of silver built inside. The silver was carried out in a cart. No wonder the people are living a hard life, and there are these people who suck the people's fat and ointment! ”
It is also quite unusual for someone to dare to attack the people of Changning Gong.
It's a pity that no one has the guts to deal with Changning Gong. If Jibei can have one less surname Gao, maybe the world will be peaceful.
Wei Xiangjun thought of it and instructed, "Before the reopening of the Zhengxiu Hall, although the monthly money is halved, everything that should be given must be given." If it can be reopened, the treasurer and steward will have a lot of hard work. In the future, Hengyang will only sell medicine. If you want to stay, if you are willing to go to Jingyang with us, or if you plan to go out to set up a door, we must take care of it. ”
"No more hospitals?"
The shopkeeper was surprised.
Wei Xiangjun thought for a long time, "In another ten years, it will be up to Ah Shou to be able to pick up this burden on behalf of the master." ”
"Senior sister, look at this!"
Ah Shou suddenly ran over and handed Wei Xiangjun something that had been burned to black.
The shopkeeper looked out, "It's a lantern!" But we don't have that here. ”
"I found it at the base of the wall."
Shou pointed to the half-collapsed wall facing the back street.
Wei Xiangjun walked over there, looked at it for a long time, and then looked at the bronze lantern that was held in his hand by the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper scolded in the end, "Sure enough, someone did it." This is even the old and weak, women and children who refuse to let go! What a brute! ”
Wei Xiangjun was still looking at the lantern.
It is not uncommon for some people in the city to have finely crafted bronze lamps at home.
But it is rare to take it out and set it on fire to kill people.
"Senior sister, will you report to the official?"
Ah Shou said beside him.
Wei Xiangjun laughed, "If the report is useful, no one will dare to burn our house!" ”
Fortunately, there is now physical evidence. No matter who wants to harm others, Wei Xiangjun will never give up.
"Miss Wei!"
Someone shouted outside.
Ah Shou leaned on the wall and asked outside, "Who is looking for my senior sister?" ”
Wei Xiangjun had already seen the one driving the carriage, and he chuckled in his heart for a moment, and then pretended to be calm and said, "It should be Mrs. Shi who asked me to go over and ask for peace." ”
