Chapter 129 (What are you afraid of...)
Although Gu Chaochao didn't understand why Shen Mushen commented on the smell on her body, he was subconsciously shocked when she heard the words. She was about to say something when Shen Mushen said indifferently, "The person I'm looking for has the same smell as you. "
...Mining City is rich in sandalwood spices, and they are sold all over the street, so it's not surprising that the taste is the same." Gu Chaochao smiled awkwardly.
The prefect nodded in agreement: "Indeed, I still used some spices to smoke clothes today. Gu Dalang's Sandalwood is really the best spice shop in Mining City. My wife likes it very much."
Gu Chaochao listened to it several times . , I still can't get used to the name Dalang. Every time I hear someone call it, I have the illusion that I want to go to the street to sell cooking cakes. But this time is not the time to care about this, I immediately responded after hearing the prefect's words: "The adults are wrong, the small ones are also good fortune, and I have a few incense masters to help. Since the madam likes it, I will give you some more after a while. Come."
"Why is this so embarrassing." The prefect laughed.
The two of you went back and forth with me, and Shen Mushen suddenly said, "How much is the value of the spice in Sandalwood?"
"Ten silver and one tael." Gu Chaochao answered cautiously.
"Ten silver and one tael." Shen Mushen repeated it, his eyes became more and more gloomy.
Spices are not cheap, the prefect was afraid that Shen Mushen would think too much, and quickly explained for himself: "It is indeed expensive, ordinary people can't afford to use it, if it is not a humble job and Gu Dalang's personal friendship, I am afraid that such a good spice would not be used... ...if the general likes it, the humble post will send someone to the general's mansion. Although the humble post is poor, there is still some wife's dowry in the family, so it is okay to buy some spices.
" Huh." Gu Chaochao echoed, and after receiving the prefect's compliments and witty eyes, he turned his head to look at Shen Mushen, but directly met his indifferent eyes.
Gu Chaochao groaned in his heart, and suddenly had a bad premonition. Unfortunately, before she could ask again, Shen Mushen had already left.
Watching his back disappear, Gu Chaochao sighed and turned to look at the prefect: "Sir, why do you think this general is not easy to get along with."
"It's more than unreasonable! The prefect sneered, "If it wasn't for worrying about his revenge after regaining his holy favor, this official would have stopped serving him!"
Gu Chaochao pulled the corners of his lips and left after a few words of comfort.
It took less than an hour for her to go home. Chanjuan had just finished teaching the servants, and when she saw her coming back, she had a strange expression: "Master, why did you come back alone?"
"Otherwise?" Gu Chaochao looked stupid.
Chanjuan had a headache: "Didn't you invite General Shen to come and sit in the mansion?"
... It's too late to hide from him, how could it be possible to invite him over. Of course, such words would not dare to be said, otherwise they would be repeated by her for several days, Gu Chaochao cleared his throat, and made an excuse: "General Shen is disabled, and he is already tired after rushing for a few days. It's unbearable, so I went back to rest early."
"Indeed, then let him rest, there is only a wall between our two families, and we can come to visit at any time," Chanjuan sighed, "When he has enough rest, invite him again. Come and be a guest, you are still his elder, I believe that no matter how big he is, he will not lose your face."
Gu Chaochao twitched the corners of his lips, feeling that he should not be too optimistic. However, she was not interested in inviting Shen Mushen as a guest at all. Hearing that, she just smiled and said something perfunctory, and then went straight back to the house - the
chest wrapping made her almost breathless, and she had to release herself.
After meeting Shen Mushen at the yamen once, Gu Chaochao decided not to provoke him for the time being, until he had almost forgotten about his being slept, and then went to have a relationship with him.
After Gu Chaochao made a plan, he stayed in the house all day and never went out unless it was necessary. It's not that she came to this world and turned into a house, it's really... Every time she goes out, she has to wrap her breasts, and she can't breathe.
The few days she has been resting at home is not idle. Although she said that she is calm, she also caused a lot of stumbling blocks for the father and daughter who designed her. The father and daughter, who were as stable as Mount Tai, quickly sat down. He came to the door in a hurry and begged for mercy.
Gu Chaochao heard that they were coming, and after a short rest, he called Chanjuan to wash and change his clothes, and they appeared after an hour of drying.
As soon as she entered the hall, she looked at the table first, and when she saw that there was no tea, she clicked: "My servant in the house is really becoming more and more ignorant, and I don't even know how to serve a cup of hot tea to my uncle."
Gu Qingfeng waited. Her face was turning green, she didn't dare to refute when she heard her yin and yang, she just squeezed out a little smile: "Dalang, are you busy today, why did you come out just now?"
"I've seen the young master." Gu Yin'er was embarrassed The land is blessed. Gu
Chaochao glanced at the two of them indifferently, went to the main seat and sat down before speaking slowly: "It's not that I'm busy, it's just that I ate the wrong thing a few days ago, and my body is a little unwell."
.
Gu Qingfeng is an old fried dough stick, so he didn't feel embarrassed when he heard the words, he just sighed and said, "Dalang, there were some things that Uncle did wrong before, you should give Uncle a little face for the sake of us being of the same clan. "
Mingzhou City likes to talk about in-law relationships. The ten generations above who have relatives dare to say that they are of the same clan. If I give face, wouldn't I be trampled underfoot?" Gu Chaochao laughed, "You Say yes, uncle."
"You!" Gu Qingfeng, relying on his seniority, has never been contradicted like this before. Hearing the words, he suddenly burst into flames, but thinking about what he wants from others today, he can only endure it, "What the hell are we going to do with the sidekicks? Different."
"Uncle Shen Yan, if you really think that we are different from the side branches, why would you have such a dirty mind?" Gu Chaochao sneered.
"Young Master!" Gu Yin'er couldn't stop, and immediately turned away with embarrassment, "Why do you have to be aggressive!"
Gu Chaochao was speechless: "You and your father are arrogant to me, but now you think I'm aggressive?"
"You..."
"Yin'er can't be rude," Gu Qingfeng finished speaking, and looked at Gu Chaochao helplessly, "Dalang, I'm old now, I'm afraid that I have three strengths and two weaknesses, and no one will plan for my precious daughter in the future. , I hope you will spare me this time because I have been working with your father for many years."
Gu Chaochao smiled: "Uncle said that, it seems that I will be unreasonable if I care about it?"
Gu Qingfeng did not expect that she is now It was so difficult to deal with, and frowned for a while: "How on earth are you going to let us go?"
"I'm not that aggressive," Gu Chaochao said, and deliberately glanced at Gu Yin'er, seeing that she was holding back. Qu's face turned red, and then he turned his eyes away in satisfaction, "I heard that Langzhou is famous for its outstanding people, why don't the uncle take Sister Yin'er to settle there? One is to do business, and the other is to find a job for sister Yin'er. A good marriage, wouldn’t it be both…”
“Gu Chao! You, are you going to drive me out of Mining City?” Gu Qingfeng interrupted in disbelief, “Do you still have humanity, forcing my family to stray? Home relocation!"
Gu Chaochao was quiet for a moment, then chuckled: "How can you let others sleep on the side of the couch, uncle, you have made a taboo of mine."
Gu Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, and when he met her gaze again, he suddenly felt that Cool back.
Seeing that Gu Qingfeng stopped talking, Gu Yin'er quickly knelt down to Gu Chaochao: "Young master, Yin'er knows it's wrong, I beg the young master to give my family a way to survive, Yin'er is willing to die to apologize..."
"Yin'er! You mustn't talk nonsense, what's wrong with us," Gu Qingfeng was suddenly sober when his daughter interrupted, "Yes, we haven't done anything wrong, why should we be afraid of him, if he really dares to rush Let's go, let's go to the ancestral hall, please be clear to all the clan elders!"
After saying that, he directly pulled Gu Yin'er up, turned around and left.
Gu Chaochao watched them leave, and tutted softly: "I really don't give up." As
soon as the words fell, Chanjuan came in from outside, and she was blessed with a dignified look behind her: "Young master, just now there is news from the mine. , the three people we sent were unable to bear the heavy labor and committed suicide."
Gu Chaochao narrowed his eyes: "That's really a coincidence."
"I'm afraid that before Gu Qingfeng came, a few people had already been dealt with in advance," Chanjuan frowned. Wrinkled, "
I've lost all the witnesses and materials, what should I do?" "It's like teaching those slaves a lesson. It doesn't matter if there is evidence or not, it's all up to me." It got even more boring, "I'm used to being good-natured, so they will think that if I gather a few immortals, they can be my master."
"Do you want to go your own way?" Chanjuan was even more worried, "Wouldn't that be offending you? People?"
"I didn't offend people now, so they don't come to plot against me? If you use drugs today, you'll be poisoned tomorrow. You have to let them know that they are afraid." Gu Chaochao sneered.
She had planned to eat this stuffy loss before, but she has been idle at home for the past few days and gradually came to understand. Sometimes, the more concessions you make, the more unpleasant people will feel. It is better to subdue them all at once, so as not to deal with their little ninety-nine in the future.
What's more, Gu Qingfeng's father and daughter are also the two main forces who will bully Shen Mushen in the future, and she must send them far away.
Gu Chaochao sighed softly, having already made a decision in his heart.
Seeing her confident face, Chanjuan didn't ask any more questions.
Sure enough, a day later, several clan elders sent someone to invite her to the ancestral hall.
Chanjuan was serving Gu Chaochao to wash up when she heard someone from outside coming to report, she frowned.
Gu Chaochao raised his lips, raised his voice and said, "I'm not feeling well today. If it's not a big deal, I won't go." The
visitor didn't expect her to refuse, and was immediately dumbfounded: "But, but the elders are already waiting at the ancestral hall. It's been a long time."
"Then ask the elders to go back and rest, the ancestral hall is cool and cool, and some of them are old, so it's better to go less." Gu Chaochao took a piece of cake and handed it to Chanjuan, waiting for her to take it before he took it again. piece.
When the visitor saw her firm attitude, she had to go back and return to her life.
As Gu Chaochao said, the ancestral hall was shady and cold, and the weather was cold, and several old men were freezing. As a result, they waited for a long time, but they didn't even see her.
"Every clan elders have seen it, this Gu Chao is really deceiving people too much, and he has only been in charge of the house for a few days, and this will ignore the elders. If this continues, won't it be riding on our heads in the future? !" Gu Qingfeng looked sad and angry. The rest of the old men were also so angry that they scolded
Gu Chaochao for not being polite. Gu Qingfeng took the opportunity to say, "If he doesn't come, then we will go. We must ask him for an explanation."
When several people heard that they were going to find her, they immediately hesitated.
Gu Qingfeng secretly scolded a few people for being unpromising in his heart, but his face was still sad and angry: "Everyone can think clearly, if you don't save me today, who will be the next victim, our big Gu family, do you just let him be divided like this? Is it?"
This sentence touched the pain point of everyone, and although he was still drumming in his heart, he agreed to go with him in the end. Seeing this, Gu Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief, planning that as long as Gu Chaochao dared to mention the matter of prescribing the medicine, he would falsely accuse her of spewing blood, and he must tell her to not dare to touch herself again.
Gu Qingfeng's calculations were excellent, but when he arrived in front of Gu Chaochao, all plans were disrupted.
Because Gu Chaochao didn't mention medicine from the beginning to the end, and he still looked sick, and even when he was sitting, he needed the support of the maid named Chanjuan.
Everyone obviously didn't expect that Gu Chaochao was really ill, and his aura was weakened by three points before he opened his mouth.
"Everyone came here today, wouldn't you come here to ask for guilt?" Gu Chaochao said lightly.
The eldest old man embarrassed: "Where did you start with this nephew?"
"Since it's not, why is it so aggressive?" Gu Chaochao raised his eyes.
The old man didn't know how to answer the question, but Gu Qingfeng couldn't wait any longer: "I invited a few clan elders to come here, just to ask you, why did you drive me out of Mining City!
" He said," Gu Chaochao laughed, "Uncle didn't offend me, why should I drive you away? I asked you to go to Langzhou, but for the future development of the Gu family, I asked you to take the lead, you How can you doubt my intentions?"
She looked disappointed, which made Gu Qingfeng even more annoyed: "If it's just for me to take the lead, why do you need to start the property under my name! You clearly want me to have no foothold in Mining City City. Earth!"
"I'm not feeling well, if my uncle came here to frame me, forgive me for not entertaining me well." Gu Chaochao said, he wanted to get up and go back to his room.
Gu Qingfeng stopped her directly, gritted his teeth and asked, "You dare to swear that you didn't attack my property?"
"If I attack my uncle's property, how about cutting off my descendants?" Gu Chaochao was expressionless.
For an infertile fast-wearing tasker, this oath is still daring to make, but for these native characters, this oath is a bit heavy.
Gu Qingfeng obviously didn't expect her to say such a thing, and was confused for a while, and the other people looked a little embarrassed, and they all advised Gu Chaochao not to talk nonsense.
Gu Chaochao closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was a flash of sharpness: "Enough."
Everyone shut up.
"After my father left, I took on the responsibility of the Gu family. It's been three years now," Gu Chaochao's indifferent gaze swept across everyone's faces, "I, Gu Chao, believe that I have done my best to the Gu family, and every year I will take out a Layered profits help the family ancestral temple, but now they don’t even have the right to send individuals to do things, it’s really chilling, since that’s the case…”
She paused for a moment, “Then I don’t care about this family in the future, anyway, everyone here is more senior than me, Why don't you choose someone to talk about."
"You said it lightly, are you willing to hand over the property in your hand?!" Gu Qingfeng blurted out, and regretted it after speaking.
Sure enough, Gu Chaochao chuckled lightly: "Can I have a share of the property in my hands from the Gu family's ancestral hall?"
Gu Qingfeng pursed his lips, and the others sighed inwardly.
Today's Gu family, only Gu Chaochao has a promising line and has done a great deal of business. The other families are very few. It is only because Gu Chaochao gives a layer of profit every year that they can survive until now. If Gu Chaochao leaves the Gu family, then they will Can only be self-reliant.
At this moment, they realized that it was never Gu Chaochao's rarity as the head of the Gu family, but that the Gu family couldn't be separated from Gu Chaochao's care, and they regretted their impulsive coming for a while.
"Don't worry, everyone, I will manage the family business that my father has worked so hard for, and I will hand it over to my children and grandchildren after a hundred years," Gu Chaochao emphasized, "If I am lucky, it will be short-lived, or there will be no children. When I get close to me, then I will donate all the property under my name to the people of Miningzhou City, as if it is to accumulate virtue for my next life." When
everyone heard that she had made a decision, they panicked: "Don't be impulsive, nephew. When you are young, how can you have no children by your side, and don't make a decision that you regret."
"You have been in charge of the family for the past few years, and your grandfather has seen it. Except you, no one can be the head of the family."
"Yes, yes . Ah, don't be impulsive..."
Gu Qingfeng's expression became more and more ugly, and he clenched his fists and stood still. Gu Chaochao glanced at him and sat back indifferently, the rest of the people were human beings. After seeing what she meant, he immediately turned around to persuade Gu Qingfeng.
Gu Chaochao drank tea slowly, and didn't even bother to look at Gu Qingfeng's reaction, because she knew in her heart that Gu Qingfeng would definitely compromise.
Sure enough, Gu Qingfeng was quickly defeated and stood in front of Gu Chaochao dejectedly: "Dalang, you are right, the Gu family can't stand still, I am willing to go to Langzhou for the Gu family to explore the road."
"Then I would like to thank Uncle. "Gu Chaochao laughed and said nothing more.
Gu Qingfeng left with a gloomy face, and the rest did not dare to stay any longer.
"With today's incident, they are afraid that they would like you to live a long life, so they don't dare to think about it again." Chanjuan was in a very good mood.
Gu Chaochao smiled: "Yes, at least two years of lessons can be taught."
"Great, the young master will be so strong in the future, let's see if they dare to rely on the old and sell the old." Chanjuan said, spit in the direction of the door With a sound, it is obvious that he is extremely disgusted with these clan elders.
Gu Chaochao wiped off the powder on his mouth at any time, revealing the original lip color, and then slowly said: "You send a few people to stare at Gu Qingfeng, so that he can save him any more trouble."
"Yes," Chanjuan hurriedly agreed, "Do you have any other orders?"
Gu Chaochao thought for a while: "Shen Mushen has moved to the next door for more than three days, has he investigated the unmarried daughters in the city according to the roster?
" If you go back to the young master, he didn't investigate." Chanjuan always pays attention to the neighbors, she still knows this.
Gu Chaochao raised his eyebrows: "Oh?" Could it be that he has already let go of that day and is too lazy to fuck?
Just three seconds after the beautiful idea appeared, Chanjuan spoke again: "But he sent someone to buy sandalwood in all the spice shops in the city." Gu Chaochao
: "...Why did he buy these things?"
Would you like to compare which one is better?" Chanjuan hesitated, "After all, it's not surprising that you want the best in everything."
Gu Chaochao: "..."
She sat for a long time, and suddenly guessed what Shen Mushen was going to do. : "Chanjuan."
"The servant is here."
"Does the same spice taste different?" she asked nervously.
Chanjuan laughed: "Naturally, it's different, just like Sandalwood, it's a bad street in Miningzhou City, and there is a shop selling it a few steps away, but the only one with the purest and most elegant taste is our Sandalwood family. , that's an exclusive recipe, and no one can imitate it."
Gu Chaochao was speechless for a long time, and was thinking about what to do when the concierge suddenly ran over: "Master, General Shen's people are here, saying that they want to invite you to the residence for a chat. ."
She: "..." I'm really afraid of what's coming.
