Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 126
"The Lord of the Shen family? Candidate for the emperor's son-in-law..."

Hearing this, Quan Xing felt as if someone had punched him in the chest, his body shook slightly, and then he said in a hurry, "May I ask who is the gentleman of the Shen family?"

Mrs. Quan felt disdainful in her heart when she saw the appearance of Husband's loss of position, she sneered and said: "Which gentleman can be chosen for the emperor's son-in-law? Husband's discussion is probably in vain."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Quan walked away, her mood even worse.Not only because of her husband's snobbery, but also because the cousin's family has become more prominent, the gap between them is even bigger.

"Ignorant woman, spoil my future!"

Quan Xing looked at his wife's back, and at the cabin with the curtain hanging down, feeling more and more resentful.

As the river narrowed, the speed of the boat slowed down.As he gradually approached the pier, Quan Xing looked forward to the past, and he could see a crowd of people on the pier, obviously all of them came to greet the wise son of the Shen family.

Seeing this scene, Quan Xing couldn't help being even more frustrated. He thought that by convincing Mrs. Gu Qi to marry the Shen family, he could use the power of the Shen family to prosper in his official career.Originally, in his thinking, although the Shen family had a high status, Qingwang was still a little inferior. If the Gu family was willing to marry him, the family would naturally be extremely happy and welcome them.

However, it never occurred to her that the young man of the Shen family has already entered the eyes of the emperor. On one side is the noble princess of the imperial family, and on the other side is the young daughter of the Gu family who has met her elder brother. What else can be weighed?
Suddenly, the curtain door of the cabin was rolled up, and the girl Quan Pei jumped out of the cabin, and said with a smile, "Father, Aunt Qingshuang asked me to ask why the speed of the boat slowed down? If so, we will sleep on the river tonight?"

"Slow down, let's see if you still have the manners of a big lady!"

Quan Xing was resentful in his heart, when he saw his daughter's lively appearance, he immediately vented his anger.If he had a choice, why would he bother with the idea of ​​his dead sister and orphan? Wouldn't it be better to just marry his own daughter into the Shen family.It's just that the difference in potential between the two is already too great, and her own daughter can only be a descendant of another branch if she marries, and cannot get the return he expected.

Caught off guard by his father's scolding, Quan Pei's eyes immediately turned red. When Mrs. Quan heard the sound, she came back and held her daughter's hand to comfort her carefully. She gave Quan Xing a distraught look, and walked into the cabin with her daughter.

Seeing her aunt go and return, Gu Qingshuang's already slightly relaxed expression became serious again, and she turned her head in silence.

"Qingshuang, it was my aunt who made a slip of the tongue earlier, if you don't want to hear it, don't mention it in the future, don't be alienated by it."

Mrs. Quan sat down and couldn't help sighing in her heart, she was willing to be a lobbyist for her husband, and she also felt that her distant nephew did not insult Gu's girl, but since the lady didn't want it in her heart, why should she be a bad person in vain.And now that they are expected to be suitable for the princess, what they said earlier really fell through on both ends.

"My aunt is serious, and Qingshuang appreciates her kindness, but I am cold-hearted, and I neither want nor want to be a housewife."

Hearing that her aunt was wrong, Mrs. Gu Qi couldn't keep her straight face.Although she came from a high family background, she lost her parents when she was young, and she was born to her stepmother, so she didn't get along well with her elder brothers. Although she was young, she had already suffered from the warmth and coldness of human relations, and she still cared more about the affection of her uncle's family of.

Mrs. Quan laughed at herself, and then said: "It's delusional to have such an argument. The young gentleman of the Shen family has already selected the emperor's son-in-law, and the Shen family in front of him is setting up a fence to welcome his family's boat team into the capital."

When Gu Qingshuang heard this, she subconsciously sat upright and said, "Auntie, the boat's speed slowed down because Mrs. Shen set up a barrier to block the way?"

Mrs. Quan nodded, and at the same time she was a little surprised that this little lady's focus was a bit unique.

After hearing this, Gu Qingshuang frowned slightly, pondered for a while, and then said: "Auntie, I want to pay a visit to that Shen Yulang."

"What? You're not..."

Mrs. Quan was very surprised when she heard the words, she didn't understand why this lady was so eager to meet Shen Zhezi after hearing about his traces.But after a change of mind, it was because the little girl was shy and changeable.

It's just that she was a little embarrassed: "The Shen family is having a big event, so we may not be able to see it."

"It's okay, I ask my family members to invite me to meet with my family's invitation card, and I hope my aunt will inform my uncle that the boat will stop for a while."

Gu Qingshuang said quickly, she didn't notice the slightly weird look in Madam Quan's eyes, she was determined to seek an explanation for what happened the day before yesterday!
----------

In the evening, Shen Zhezi and his party arrived at Wucheng Wharf.This is a node of Wu Xing's cargo circulation, so the construction of the wharf is also extremely manpower and material resources.There are many wealth and cargo attendants on this trip, and there are more than ten ships in a single boat.Because I was worried that the waterway here in Wucheng would be blocked, I sent someone to report by a fast boat first.

Although he had expected it, when he arrived at Wucheng Wharf, Shen Zhezi was slightly shocked by the scene of continuous boats and boats.

It wasn't until I learned that the current situation was caused by the fact that my family set up a fence near the pier to free up a river channel.Shen Zhezi didn't think so. His family spent a lot of money dredging the river, so it's nothing to enjoy a little privilege.He didn't bother with the county government's barrage charges, and only relied on freight turnover and terminal profits to recover costs.

There were quite a few people on the pier to greet them, even the prefect Yu Tan came to greet them in person.The Wuxing waterway was dredged and unimpeded, which can be counted as the county government's achievements.Although Yu Tan also understood that the Shen family had its own plans, but at this time of the year, all the major clans could only enter and not leave, such behavior of the Shen family was considered a rare virtue in the village.

In addition to the official staff of the county government, there are also families that have recently cooperated with the Shen family.For example, the Chen family on the Great Wall had a lot of quarrels with the Shen family in the early days, but thanks to the waterway, the water transportation is prosperous, and the price of bamboo and wood has soared. Since the opening of the spring, it has made a lot of profits. Some old grievances are nothing compared to the benefits that are rolling in. .

Shen Zhezi's schedule was very urgent, so he stopped going to Wucheng County to stay overnight, and entertained guests in Shen's newly built manor near the pier. After the message was delivered, they all left early.

Sending off many guests, Shen Zhezi was waiting to rest when a servant suddenly handed over a greeting card from Mrs. Gu. Seeing that the beautiful handwriting looked familiar, Shen Zhezi pondered for a while, then stood on the porch with his wooden clogs, waving the greeting card and shouting: " Ji Wenxue, here comes the cure for your lovesickness!"

Before the words fell, there was a sound outside the corridor, and it was not Ji You who rushed out first, but Shen Mu, that guy who hated ghosts.He rushed in front of Shen Zhezi in three steps at a time, and snatched the greeting card into his hands. Before he could unfold it, a gust of wind rose in his ears, and Ji You had already rushed forward: "Shen Erlang, you and I are at odds with each other!"

Shen Mu is having a hard time finding a woman he likes, so he regards Ji You's sorrow as his source of happiness, and rushes to the door waving invitations.Ji You came back after chasing him for a few steps. He straightened his clothes in a hurry, and said with a slightly apprehensive expression, "Weizhou, you didn't lie to me? Is it really Mrs. Qingshuang from the Gu family who came to visit? How does she know I'm here? You Look at me, how do you behave?"

Seeing Ji You's look of worrying about gain and loss, Shen Zhezi was really powerless to complain, and motioned Liu Chang and several other servants to follow him, and went to the door to meet the guests.Ji Yousui walked a few steps behind, then, as if thinking of something, he turned his head and rushed to his room.

Quan Xing stood in front of the gate of the Shen family's manor, with a restrained expression hiding excitement, he did not expect that things would change so much, the little lady Qingshuang would take the initiative to stop the boat to pay a visit to the Shen family!
He glanced at Gu Qingshuang with a calm expression behind him, and said with a smile: "Shuang'er, don't worry, your uncle will plan everything for you. A girl from the Gu family may not be inferior to Princess Dizong. A mediocre person who watches people."

Hearing his uncle's words, Gu Qingshuang gritted his silver teeth slightly, regretting his rash visit.But when she heard that her uncle spoke highly of that dude of the Shen family, she smiled inwardly, and decided to let her uncle see the real face of this person today!
A figure suddenly rushed out of the night, before the person arrived, the voice came first: "Which one is Gu's Seventh Lady?"

Shen Mu yelled and rushed towards the gate, and then realized that he was also a person of great status. When approaching the gate, he hurriedly slowed down, walked into the side room in the gate where visitors temporarily stopped, and glanced at the faces of all the people in the room Once again, it landed on the slightly cautious little lady Quanpei who was hiding behind her mother. She saluted first and then smiled: "I don't know Mrs. Gu..."

"I, I'm not, my aunt is the wife of the Gu family." Quan Pei waved his hand in embarrassment, and then pointed to Gu Qi who was sitting on the other side covered by a screen.

The corners of Shen Mu's mouth trembled in embarrassment, and then he left without expression.Walking to the court, he met Shen Zhezi who was coming towards him, half-hid his face and whispered: "I know the wrong person, it's too shameless..."

Shen Zhezi was too lazy to pay attention to this guy, walked outside the ear room, first let the little maid Gua Er pass the message, and then walked in, no matter the priority, he saluted first, and made an apology: "My second brother is arrogant and rash, and offended the distinguished guest. , I'm really sorry."

Quan Xing stood up first, and said with a smile: "Could it be that the gentleman just now is Shen Shi Xiangsheng?"

Xiang Sheng is Shen Mu's nickname outside of it. It is taken to mean King Xiang's disciple, and it is very famous in Wuzhong with the poem chanting Zhi that made him famous.Seeing Quanxing speak, Shen Zhezi turned to him and said with a smile: "Exactly, please move to the hall."

"No need, we don't have friendship with each other, so we don't need to be guests."

Mrs. Gu Qi's slightly cold voice sounded behind the cloth screen, signaling the maid to remove the cloth screen, then looked directly at Shen Zhezi, and said in a concentrated voice: "The waterway is open, and everyone can do it. Why did Shen Lang set up a fence to prevent people and boats from traveling?" Words and deeds are inconsistent before and after, I wonder if you can clear up the confusion for me?"

When Shen Zhezi heard this, even if he understood the purpose of the other party's visit, he was not in a hurry to answer, and couldn't help but wander his eyes on Miss Gu Qi, wanting to see clearly what kind of outstanding girl it was that made Ji You feel very disappointed.

Looking under the light, this girl has a slim figure, fair complexion and beautiful face, and a clear and delicate face. In terms of appearance alone, she is not inferior to my many beautiful little maids, Gua'er, who has been selected by me. Ladyly temperament.It's just that there is a slight indifference and aloofness between the eyebrows, and the glaring at the moment, there is a kind of alienation that rejects people thousands of miles away.

Gu Qiniang had a sneer at the corner of her mouth, and she also saw Shen Zhezi's expression in her eyes.This young man is indeed delicate and handsome, and his appearance makes it hard to feel disgusted, but his eyes are a little frivolous and not dignified enough. Combining his behavior before and after, she feels more disgusted with him. Xu, and then invited the name of Meiyu, the outside and the inside are not the same, are you used to this?"

Hearing Gu Qiniang's aggressive words, Shen Zhezi couldn't help but smile.Originally, he thought that Mrs. Gu Qi had little resemblance to her elder brother Gu Bi in appearance, and suspected that the neighbor had shot a gun, but seeing that she was impatient and eager to fight, she was exactly the same as Gu Bi, and she was undoubtedly Mr. Gu Rong's own. .
