The peasant girl in Space is the group favorite

Chapter 402 Gu Qiushu

Ma Ergou was also really surprised, and looked at Qibao and the others with a hint of caution.

He was definitely not someone he could afford to carry around so many banknotes. Although he was doing pretty well, he still relied on Lucky Gambling House for a living. The 8 taels cost him all his family fortune. Coming out is not enough.

What made him even more afraid to act rashly was that this little girl was still the youngest among the group. She could take out 8 taels as soon as she asked, which made people cautious.

Looking at the adults and the two teenagers next to the little girl, they also looked familiar, without any sign of physical pain, as if this thick pile of banknotes were as worthless as waste paper.

Just when he was in a dilemma, he heard a voice: "The girl is so spirited. I wonder what your name is? Where are you from?"

Everyone looked for the sound and saw a middle-aged man wearing a navy blue robe walking slowly with a harmless smile on his face, followed by three or four people.

Hearing the voice, Ma Ergou looked relieved and quickly stepped forward, nodded and said: "Boss, I am incompetent, so I need you to take action personally."

The middle-aged man glanced at Ma Ergou briefly, then withdrew his gaze, and then looked at Qibao and the others, looking at them calmly.

At this glance, Ma Ergou felt his scalp go numb, so he lowered his head and stood behind the middle-aged man.

Qibao looked at the person coming and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. This person looked elegant and polite. Those who didn't know better thought he was a scholar, but unexpectedly he was the boss behind Hongtai Gambling House.

Looking at Ma Ergou, a man with such a ferocious look, there was a hint of fear in his eyes when he saw this man, and he knew that this man was not as simple as he appeared.

"Are you the boss of Hongtai Casino?" Qibao asked with interest.

"That's right, I'm Gu Qiu Shu, what do you call me and this young man?" the middle-aged man introduced himself.

I didn't expect that the owner of a gambling house would have such a poetic name, which was a bit special.

"Our brother and sister's surname is Xu. I wonder what Boss Gu wants to ask for?" Xu Wenwu said.

"It turns out it's Mr. Xu and Miss Xu. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I wonder what business you two bought this shop for?" Gu Qiushu asked politely with a smile.

When Qibao heard this tone of voice, he could not tell that they had ruined his good deeds, nor was he even remotely angry. It was as if they were just chatting normally between friends.

From this point alone, we can see that this man is quite deep.

"My family has some food business, but I wanted to buy the Jin family's shop because Tianyou City is a blessed place." Xu Wenwu said.

"I see. Although Tianyou City is not as valuable as the capital city, it is indeed a good place to do business. Please take the liberty to ask where the young master is going?" Although Gu Qiushu had some guesses in his mind, he still asked.

"Capital." Xu Wenwu saw that the other party didn't seem to be here to cause trouble, but rather to chat, but he replied truthfully, wanting to know what this person's purpose was.

"Does Young Master Xu live in the capital?" Gu Qiushu asked.

Xu Wenwu shook his head lightly and said, "No."

Gu Qiu Shu also knew a little about the capital. As far as he knew, there was no one named Xu among the noble circles. He frowned slightly and weighed it in his heart.

The air became a little quiet for a moment, and the onlookers did not dare to express their anger, but just watched the excitement quietly.

"Brother Xu, I finally found you." At this moment, the atmosphere was broken by a voice. The person who came was none other than Xiao Mingzhi. There were three people dressed as scholars next to him. They were the same people who had been drinking tea and chatting yesterday.

"Brother Xiao, why are you here?" Xu Wenwu asked with a smile.

"When I learned that Brother Xu was leaving today, we naturally came to help Brother Xu practice. Is there anything that Brother Xu needs help with?" Xiao Mingzhi asked.

When he came, he naturally saw the people at Hongtai Gambling House across from Xu Wenwu, and thought he was in trouble, so he asked if he needed help.

"Thank you, Brother Xiao. There is no need to trouble Brother Xiao with small matters." Xu Wenwu said.

"Master Xiao knows this Master Xu?" Gu Qiushu asked.

"It turns out it's Boss Gu. Brother Xu and I are friends. I wonder how Boss Gu met Brother Xu?" Xiao Mingzhi asked politely.

He had met Gu Qiushu once, when his father took him to a banquet at the Chamber of Commerce. However, there was no business dealings between the two parties, and it was just a casual greeting.

Gu Qiushu had heard about Xiao Mingzhi. The Xiao family was in business, but this son liked to write and write. He liked to make friends with scholars, and he also helped many students from poor families. He had an excellent reputation for this.

Before Gu Qiu Shu could say anything, Xiao Wu on the side gave Xiao Mingzhi a brief summary of the situation.

Xiao Mingzhi heard this, thought for a moment, and then whispered in Xu Wenwu's ear: "Brother Xu, I heard my father tell me that Gu Qiushu is not a simple person, and he is not as easy to talk to as he seems. I tried to talk to him Let’s discuss it and decide whether it’s better not to offend him or not. It’s important for Brother Xu to go to the capital to take the exam.”

After Xiao Mingzhi finished speaking, without waiting for Xu Wenwu to say anything, he clasped his fists and saluted Gu Qiushu again, and said, "Boss Gu, can you take a step to speak?"

When Gu Qiu Shu heard this, he glanced at Xu Wenwu. He naturally saw what Xiao Mingzhi said in Xu Wenwu's ear, and was a little surprised. He didn't know what Xiao Mingzhi wanted to say to him, and he also wanted to avoid other people. Man, but he nodded.

The two walked out of the crowd together, stopping somewhere out of earshot of the others.

Not sure what Xiao Mingzhi said, Gu Qiushu frequently looked at the Xu family in surprise.

Qibao and Xu Wenwu looked at each other and naturally saw the look Gu Qiushu was looking at them, and they didn't know what Xiao Mingzhi said to him.

After a while, the two finished talking and returned.

Xiao Mingzhi nodded towards Xu Wenwu, meaning that the matter was settled.

"Since Mr. Xu and Mr. Xiao are friends, let's let this matter go. Since Mr. Xu wants this shop, then Gu has no choice but to be an adult. Gu is here to wish Mr. Xu a prosperous business, and I will definitely support him a lot in the future." Gu Qiushu. He said in a more polite tone than before.

Xu Wenwu raised his eyebrows when he heard this and replied calmly: "Thank you for your kind words."

Gu Qiu Shu politely clasped his fists at Xu Wenwu, gave Ma Ergou a few words, and left with the people he came with.

"Jin Wansheng is lucky. Our boss said that if you pay back the money, we will be settled." Ma Ergou said to Jin Wansheng.

Although he didn't know what Xiao Mingzhi and Gu Qiushu said, this matter was a trap he set up for Jin Wansheng. Now he has done something about it. He even asked the boss to come forward in person. He will inevitably be punished when he returns, so his tone is a bit gloomy.

Jin Wansheng's teeth itched with hatred, and then he turned his eyes to his own shop, with complex emotions such as reluctance and regret in his eyes. Then he said to Xu Wenwu: "Mr. Xu, Miss Xu, please go with Jin to your home to get the land deed."
