Chapter 122: Refusing to let go
Faced with this situation, Guo Yitian let go of his arms, grabbed Master Li's jade hand, and said softly: "Go! I'll take you to Longmen." Master Li smiled and gestured, "Hmm." But the old bustard put on a straight face and said solemnly: "The master can't go!"
Guo Yitian said coldly: "Didn't we say it's okay? Do you want to regret it?" The old bustard still didn't change his face, and argued with reason: "Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other." Guo Yitian couldn't control it so much, so he didn't get angry and said arrogantly: "Master Li is not a commodity, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to call it 'goods', right? Besides, with our strong financial resources, are you afraid that I won't be able to hand over nine thousand taels of silver?"
Lao Bustard never made bottomless deals, and handed over Master Li, just like Guo Yitian relied on the power of Longmen to act as Liu Bei's borrowing of Jingzhou - there was no loan but no return. So the old bustard knew it and said: "The old lady knows that you are rich and powerful in Longmen, but the master can't go with you until he gets nine thousand taels of silver." This is the rule in the courtyard, collect the money first, and then hand over the deed of sale. After that, Master Li likes to go wherever he goes, and the old lady can't care about it. ”
Guo Yitian frowned tightly and discussed: "Can't you be accommodating, I, Guo Yitian, have never done anything about crossing the river and demolishing the bridge." The old bustard said confidently: "No! It's also the rule to make trouble in the government, and ask Guo Shaoxia to do it himself. ”
If Master Li stays in Yihong Courtyard for one more day, it will be more dangerous. Guo Yitian said: "Okay, I promise you to raise the silver you want as soon as possible, but you have to give me a guarantee." The old bustard said without thinking: "What guarantee?" Guo Yitian looked at Master Li, her eyes were so melancholy and profound, and added: "Before I raise the money, I must promise that Master Li will not be allowed to pick up customers, so that she will not be hurt unnecessarily again." ”
The old bustard smiled and promised, "Yes, I promise you, but only for three days." After three days, I couldn't raise 9,000 taels of silver, and Master Li left me at my disposal. Guo Yitian had a bad premonition, feeling that he was threatened, but it was inconvenient to speak, and responded: "I will definitely give you the silver, and Master Li, you have to be obedient and wait for me, I will come back to pick you up immediately." The bustard takes his leave!"
When Guo Yitian hadn't taken a few steps, Master Li shouted, "Master Guo, Master will wait for you!" Guo Yitian turned his head and gave her a determined look. The old bustard doesn't remember how many such scenes he has experienced, and the people who redeemed his beloved Yinghua are finally gone.
I heard that Guo Yitian was going to redeem Master Li, and the news spread in Suzhou. The people have different opinions, and they have different opinions. This news reached the ears of the eldest grandson Wuji, and he was shocked like a thunderbolt from the sky. The eldest grandson Wuji said angrily: "How can this be reasonable, even if you hurt me before, and now you are blatantly robbing women with me, is it tolerable?"
At this time, Zhizi came in with a boxed lunch, and when he saw the eldest grandson Wuji's crazy appearance, he was a little afraid. The eldest grandson, Wuji, was so angry that he smashed several ceramic vases in the bedroom in front of Zhizi.
The sound of "pop, pop, pop ......" explosion was deafening, and the eldest grandson Wuji seemed to be crazy, doing incomprehensible things. Zhizi knew that something big must have happened, and it was not possible to step forward to dissuade him, so he had to go out with his lunch box.
Soon the eldest grandson came when he heard the news, saw the mess in the place, raised his voice and asked: "Did Guo Yitian do something that made you sad again?"
The housekeeper on the side whispered to remind the eldest grandson what happened in Yihong Courtyard today, and he should know what happened. The eldest grandson looked at the eldest grandson Wuji with loving eyes and said, "Why bother for a woman, I can spend nine thousand taels of silver to find a better girl for you." Isn't it good enough to choose what you like?"
Eldest Sun Wuji's mood was still in a state of madness, and he refused: "No! I only like Master Li's type." If she enters Longmen, she will inevitably become Guo Yitian's wife. The eldest grandson was a sensible person, and knew that Guo Yitian was a very decent person, so he responded: "Maybe he just wants to give Master Li a better place to go?"
The eldest grandson Wuji's emotions were obviously out of control, making a lot of noise for a while, and crying for a while: "Woo woo woo...... I want Master Li, I just need her alone. ”
The eldest grandson walked up to him, put his hand on his shoulder, and made an astonishing decision, comforting: "Isn't there already a Chunfeng Tower built in Longmen? It should have cost a lot of money." Coupled with the recent economic downturn in various places, Suzhou Yihe can't make so much money, let alone Yihe's business across the country. Even if Yihe earned money in other places, he would not be able to escort that much money to Suzhou in three days. If our eldest grandson's family fights an economic war with Yihe and their business in Suzhou is frustrated, I see what Guo Yitian will use to redeem his life for Master Li. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji suddenly laughed, and his son Mo Ruo's father said excitedly: "Really? What if Guo Yitian raised the money three days later? The eldest grandson revealed the unique sly smile of the businessman's nature: "Within three days, Master Li's worth will rise again, and then Guo Yitian can only retreat." The eldest grandson Wuji wiped his tears and said, "Then please Dad." No one is eligible for Master Li except me. ”
The news of Guo Yitian's redemption for Master Li reached Humen, and Guan Dadong smiled. Although Master Li shared the bed with him for a few nights and spent sleepless nights. But compared to Mei Ruoxue, Guan Dadong prefers the latter. Although the princesses of Guan Dadong can line up, they only have a soft spot for Mei Ruoxue.
If Master Li successfully becomes Guo Yitian's wife, then the possibility of Guan Dadong's success in pursuing Mei Ruoxue will be greatly increased, which is also the best result he hopes to see.
Guan Dadong was not afraid that Master Li would reveal the affair between them to Guo Yitian, which would only add glory to his face. He didn't want to throw the broken shoes to his original rival, what could be more rewarding than this? But after thinking about it, if this matter was known by Mei Ruoxue, it would have a great negative impact on the image of the white-faced young master. Therefore, Guan Dadong had made an appointment with Master Li for three chapters before, that is, he was not allowed to say the intimate things they had done between them.
As an Oiran, Master Li's city is quite deep, that is, she always says that the ice is clear and jade, and the mud is not stained. Everyone has secrets that cannot be said, and Master Li should be well aware of this. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many delusional gentlemen who fell under her pomegranate skirt and couldn't extricate themselves.
On the one hand, Guan Dadong matched Xiang Wentian and Gao Fengyun's family affairs, and on the other hand, he was very much in favor of the combination of Guo Yitian and Li Shishi. Guan Dadong can't wait to become an old man and match a lover. Of course, Guan Dadong would like him and Mei Ruoxue to tie the knot, cut the candles in the west window together, and sleep on each other.
Although Guan Dadong and Mei Ruoxue have walked in the opposite direction countless times in his dreams, the reality is not satisfactory. Now that I heard this happy news, happiness came too suddenly, I'm afraid Guan Dadong never dreamed of it.
The combination of an admired young man and a dusty woman, Guo Yitian lost not only his prestige, but also the trust of the people in him.
