Clear Wear and Lie to Win

Chapter 247
"Young master, the slave has found out that the second young master Guo came here with his cousin?"

Liu Ming was puzzled: "Guo Shu's cousin? Which one? Why haven't I heard of Guo Shu's cousin with such abilities?"

"Back to the young master, the servant inquired, it is not the cousin of the second young master Guo, but the nephew of the wife of the eldest wife of the Guo family. Didn't Mrs. Guo come back? She came back with a pair of brothers and sisters of her older brother."

Liu Ming understood that the so-called Dafang was the one who gained power in the Guo family. After all, the Dafang was the foundation of the Guo family's foothold in Jinghai County, and Guo Shu would not dare to show face to his uncle's nephew.

"What's the last name of Guo Shu's cousin?"

"The servant heard that the surname is Duan."

Liu Ming: "My surname is Duan! Go ask again and see if you can find anything."

"The slave is going here."

After all the girls to be auctioned off had finished their performances, the young boy around Liu Ming who was inquiring about the news came back.

"What did you hear?"

"The servant heard that this young master Duan seemed to be quite at odds with the second young master Guo. It seems that the second young master Guo didn't know that he was coming to Chuxiang Pavilion in advance when he invited the second young master Guo. From the perspective of young master Duan's behavior, this slave is a The master who is not short of money must have something to rely on if he is so unscrupulous towards Second Young Master Guo, but he doesn't know how Second Young Master Guo offended Young Master Duan."

Liu Ming understood, then pushed away the two girls, Fang'er and Yun'er, got up and straightened his clothes, and then said: "Come on, it's the first time for Second Young Master Guo to come to Chuxiang Pavilion, I want to take a look. It’s not like holding it every day and looking down on me. He also came today, but he’s just making a fool of himself, how can such a scene be without me!”

"Master said yes."

It's just to see if someone can hold Master Guo Er, let's watch the excitement this time.

Liu Ming soon arrived at Duan Kun's private room: "Jin Fu, knock on the door."

"Knock Knock Knock..."

"Come in."

The door was opened, and Duan Kun saw that it was someone he didn't know, and said with a bad expression, "Who are you?"

Before Liu Ming could speak, Jin Fu said, "Our young master is the son of the magistrate."

Duan Kun said "Oh" with a look of indifference, and then said: "So Master Liu is here?"

Liu Ming didn't care either, his father could indeed cover the sky with one hand in Jinghai County, but this Young Master Duan had a strong background, so he didn't care about his attitude.

Liu Ming smiled and said: "Isn't it because I heard that Guo Er came to Chuxiang Pavilion today, and I came here specially to take a look. I heard people say that Guo Er is the most clean and self-sufficient, never contaminated by these things, and there are no connecting rooms. When Guo Er came to Chuxiang Pavilion, I was too surprised for a while, so I came to have a look."

It is true that Duan Kun is a dandy, and it is exciting for him to be favored. He immediately heard the meaning of Liu Ming's words, and the two decided not to deal with each other.

Duan Kun said with a smile: "Well, my cousin is thirteen now, and he doesn't even have a room. You're going to love it, and you can't put it down, you can't put it down."

Liu Ming also smiled and said: "What the paragraph said is, Guo Er, you are too serious in your daily life, and you are a bit stupid in reading. It is a pity that you have never tasted this woman."

Guo Shu watched the two sing together, and his face became more and more cold: "I appreciate the kindness of my cousin and Young Master Liu. You should bear this kind of beautiful thing yourself! I can't bear it."

Duan Kun's face also turned cold: "Cousin, this is too disrespectful. You are the same age as me. My aunt asked you to treat me well. Is this how you treat me?"

Guo Shu really doesn't want to fight with him anymore, Duan Kun and Liu Ming, these two people can really get along with each other, they are all the same way.

Where is Duan Kun? It's just because my aunt said: "Shu'er is the most studious, and Kun'er should also study hard. At least make progress, so as to save your parents from worrying."

Just such a sentence, Duan Kun remembered it in his heart. He has been finding fault all day long these days. If he hadn't taken care of his aunt, he wouldn't want to bear it anymore.

Their second wife was originally weak, and now the Guo family relied on the uncle, and the uncle loved her natal nephew, so he really didn't want to have any grudges.

"If my uncle knew about it, she would definitely not agree."

Duan Kun's face froze, and then he said in a bad tone: "Guo Shu, what do you mean, I think I'll respect you if I call you cousin, you come to get on the line."

Guo Shu looked at Duan Kun and Liu Ming, and said: "Don't bother my cousin today, my mother asked me to go to her at night, and my father also said that I have something to talk about, so I will go back first, as for my cousin, don't worry too much." Go back late, or the uncle will definitely say cousin when she finds out."

After speaking, Guo Shu left. It's not that he didn't want to give face to his aunt, but a person like Duan Kun is really not worth it. It's enough to give face if he didn't tear his face just now.

Guo Shu left without hesitation, Duan Kun's face was ashen, and the beautiful girl in his arms suddenly felt dull.

Liu Ming said: "Brother Duan, why should you be angry because of him, he is not worth it."

Duan Kun is naturally not stupid enough, it can be seen that Liu Ming is deliberately getting close, as for why, he naturally wants to deal with Guo Shu.

Duan Kun: "What do you want to say?"

Liu Ming said with a smile: "Since Guo Shu cleans himself, let him not clean himself."

Duan Kun's expression changed, "What do you want to do?"

Liu Ming walked up to Duan Kun with a smile, and whispered something to him. Duan Kun paused after listening, and then said, "I'll think about it."

Liu Ming said: "Then I'll wait for brother Duan's good news and the beautiful scenery on a good day, so I won't disturb brother Duan, so I will leave."

Liu Ming left after speaking.

Duan Kun thought for a while, he came here with his aunt this time, in fact, there is another reason, it is for his sister's marriage, his aunt intends to match his sister's Guo Shu.

His younger sister, Duan Qiong, is the biological younger sister of his compatriot. He is a bit of a dandy, but he still has some feelings for this, but Duan Kun feels a little reluctant to let his younger sister marry Guo Shu.

He felt that Guo Shu's identity was not good enough for his younger sister. Guo Shu's father was just a scholar. Because of his frailty, he hadn't even taken the imperial examination. Because he didn't have any fame, if he wasn't even a teacher, he would have some reputation in painting and calligraphy. But these reputations are nothing to the Duan family.

His aunt was originally married, but Duan Kun was unwilling from the bottom of his heart to marry his younger sister to someone who didn't even have a reputation.

Duan Kun thought for a while, and finally agreed.

Let Guo Shu be his brother-in-law, Guo Shu is not qualified enough, besides, he vaguely guessed that his sister already has someone in her heart.

Where did Liu Ming get Duan Kun's affirmative answer, he was very happy. He felt that Guo Shu's demeanor was really annoying on weekdays. He, Guo Shu, is not ashamed yet.

When Guo Shu came out of Chuxiang Pavilion, he felt that the air was much fresher. The smell of powder inside was too strong, and his brain hurt from smelling it.

"Master, do you want to go back?"

Guo Shu said: "Go back, or Mom and Dad will be worried."

His refusal just now is actually not an excuse. He likes to read, and sometimes he will be fascinated by new books and good books. One time, he stayed up all night because of a book. When he was eating the next day, his mind went dark. It's over, although the doctor said it's okay, but his parents still remember it, almost every night they send someone to see if he has fallen asleep honestly.

When Guo Shu returned to his yard, he saw his father's servant waiting there.

"But what's the matter, dad?"

"Back to the young master, the second master heard that you were taken away by the young master, so he asked the servant to come and wait for fear of accidents."

Regarding his father's concern, Guo Shu was very heartwarming: "Go back and tell your father quickly, so that he can rest assured that I will explain the situation to him tomorrow."

"The young master has a good rest, and the servant will return to the second master first."

"Um"

Guo Shu's father got the news, so he came out of the study and went to his wife's yard.

Seeing him coming, Mrs. Guo Er said, "Master, why is he resting so late today?"

He didn't want his wife to worry, so he said: "I got a good painting, and I'm a little fascinated by it."
