In Tiansheng Casino, Zhu Shang was sitting motionless in his regular clothes. The tea soup on the table had already cooled down. The boy outside the house was standing with his head lowered and trembling.
Xiao Yuan sat opposite Zhu Shang, with a smile on his face, and tried to persuade him earnestly: "It's just a business, just do it next time, why bother. What's more, people like the Du family, you do business with them , maybe I was tricked by them, this time it can be considered a blessing in disguise."
The implication is that this is all my credit, no need to thank me.
Zhu Shang still sat motionless. When he was doing business with others, he only cheated others, never when he was cheated. Even if Mr. Du was very cunning, he would never suffer a loss.
Wu Shi clearly warned Xiao Yuan not to do anything to the Du family, and when his business was completed, he could do whatever he wanted.
Who would have thought that not only did he not listen to what he said, but he also put Mr. Du's only legitimate son in a sack and threw it into the big bucket shared by the servants. He even asked the guards to pull the Du family's eldest daughter outside the house and throw her away. go out!
Where should the Du family put their faces?
He acted like a playboy in Bianjing in order to deceive others. He was just a helpless act by eating, drinking and joking. What was he causing trouble now?
Zhu Shang couldn't figure it out. He felt that the three brothers and sisters were more difficult to serve than the other. The point was that this time Xiao Yuan had ruined a lot of his friendships!
After a long time, Zhu Shang took out a piece of white paper from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Yuan: "This is the amount of my loss this time. Your four-in house in Yingtian Mansion can be mortgaged. The house deed has been rushed to Bianjing to pick it up." ”
The smile on Xiao Yuan's face immediately disappeared after hearing this. He has three houses, and the one in Yingtian Mansion has the best location. When he was not in Bianjing, he basically lived in that house, and it was next to Yingtian College. It is also convenient to go to Yan Shu and Fan Zhongyan for a drink.
If he ruined Zhu Shang's business, Zhu Shang would steal his best house, which was actually fair.
Xiao Yuan is five years younger than Zhu Shang, but there is no estrangement in their relationship, as long as it does not involve matters related to Zhu Shang's business. They will get along well.
Xiao Yuan reached out and took the note from Zhu Shang's hand, glanced at it and said: "Your one business deal is not worth the value of my house, so I will give it to you." He thought to himself: Zhu Shang lives in Suzhou all year round, and he swears No longer going north, this house was given to him, and he could still live in it.
Although Zhu Shang's slender phoenix eyes were narrowed. But there was no usual iconic smile, and he said with a dark face: "After cleaning up today's mess, the Du family will not have any business dealings with me from now on. I'm afraid I will lose as much as five or six people." A house. Today I only want a house for Jing Ping’s sake, otherwise I will take over all the properties your old man secretly bought for you."
Xiao Yuan smiled and said: "Then I will cook today and let you have a good meal." What he did today was indeed unreasonable. If he didn't know what to do and took a step back, then he would really be ignorant of etiquette. What a dandy.
Zhu Shang raised his eyelids and agreed.
Xiao Yuan's cooking skills were so good that Liu Xiuyi personally introduced him to the palace. Empress Guo also liked his food in the past. It's a pity that something like that happened in the end.
The Du family left in a carriage at midnight that day, and the Xu family was also very quiet, as if nothing happened.
Xunuo didn't know that it was his father who came forward to resolve the matter. Xiao Yuan thought of a way and finally suppressed it.
After returning home, the words "A gentleman seeks from himself, and a villain seeks from others" echoed in her mind. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she was a villain who did not solve problems on her own and always looked for help from others.
Unconsciously, I remembered the first words he said when I met Xiao Yuan for the first time, "Beijiang. If you had come even a moment later, I would have been eaten by this young gentleman. You have to make the decision for me, let me He is responsible! He looked at my body. He actually looked at my body! I, I..."
Xiao Yuan's temperament changed almost at first sight. He was weird, cold, playful, and casual. Xu Nuo could no longer tell which one was the real him.
During dinner, Xu Nuo accompanied Lu and Xu Gucheng to eat together. Lu's face was rosy and she talked a lot after the meal. She even asked Xu Nuo to accompany Xu Qian so that Xu Qian would not be too lonely and obviously did not know what happened today.
Lu is kind-hearted, and because of Xu Gucheng's meticulous protection, she doesn't quite understand the intrigues in the inner house. Xu Nuo has met many people, but this is the first time he has met such a pure and kind person like her. Lu's character is particularly precious in this deep house, so Xu Nuo is willing to play the same role as Xu Gucheng, so he will never violate Lu's wishes. Will.
Xu Gucheng looked at her with concern as she agreed happily.
Xu Nuo nodded in response, indicating that he would be careful.
Although Mrs. Lu knew nothing about today's events, Aunt Li knew that. During dinner, Xu Gucheng's family was dining in the house, so Aunt Li called Chuntang and Qiyue to the wing and gave them a severe scolding.
Little did Qi Qi know that her wife was almost humiliated because of a peony flower. After hearing this, she regretted it. When Grandma Li lectured her, she didn't say a word and just nodded. When Grandma Li left, tears flowed down her face.
Chuntang also kept crying.
Therefore, when Xu Nuo went to Yilian Courtyard, Chun Tang and Qi Yue had their heads lowered and followed her closely, not daring to say a word.
After arriving at Yilian Courtyard, the maid opened the curtain and Xu Nuo entered the room and saw Xu Qian sitting on the mat embroidering handkerchiefs.
Today she was wearing an aqua blue round-neck blouse and a long silk embroidered gold skirt. Wearing a white pearl necklace around her neck, a jasper hairpin and two gold combs in her hair, she was so exquisitely dressed that no one could tell that she had been confined for a month.
"Liu Niang is here, sit down quickly." Xu Qian put down the things in her hands and made room for Xu Nuo to sit, looking very enthusiastic.
Xu Nuo couldn't help but sneer in her heart, waved her hand to avoid the maids, and said: "You are grounded in peace, and you won't be afraid of breaking your hands when they are stretched out so long." She didn't understand why Xu Qian still pretended at this time. She looks like a gentle and virtuous sister. She obviously wants to stab herself with a knife, but she always greets her with a smile.
The smile on Xu Qian's face faded little by little, and the corners of her mouth twitched: "You are the legitimate daughter, how could you know my pain."
"My mother treats you like her own daughter, and teaches you how to play the piano herself. No matter what good you have, she will keep it for you. Your grandmother loves you more than anyone else, your father enlightens you, and Erlang also respects you. Why are you suffering? That’s right!”
Xu Qian smiled meaningfully, leaned on the sofa and sneered a few times: "When you were one year old, your father wrote a plaque on Mingjin Pavilion and asked someone to open a courtyard for you in the best place of the Xu family. Mother gave birth to You did not use a wet nurse and breastfed yourself for a year. Do you dare to say that they treated you the same as they treated me?" (To be continued)
