Gu Suliang's reaction was indeed very intense, but due to the current environment, he did not express his concerns. He was willing to keep in touch with Shen Siyin these days, in fact, it was all to cover up Gu Qiang's current situation. Since there is a better solution to this matter that is not in the capital, why should I continue
Gu Suliang turned around and tugged Gu Qiang's sleeves heavily, but Gu Qiang didn't give him any response. Shen Siyin turned to his brother and raised his head, as if to demonstrate, and Shen Zhongbai also did not respond. He was not angry, but nodded slightly. It might not be a bad thing for him to have his sister get closer to them. At least he could keep track of the movements of their two brothers at all times, so as not to let them get into trouble. Out of his control.
However, Gu Suran's attitude still makes me a little suspicious. If it were an ordinary man, even if he didn't like it, he wouldn't let his fiancée get too close to his brother. Sometimes , Shen Zhongbai really doesn’t understand. , what exactly is Gu Suran thinking in her heart.
After receiving the news, Shen Qiangwei quickly appeared in the cubicle outside Shen Zhongbai's study, saying that there was really no common topic between the emperor Gu Qiang and the two businessmen. During the time they were sitting here, most of them Part of it was the conversation between Shen Siyin and Gu Su Liang about some rare flowers and plants.
Shen Siyin grew up in the mountains and was very knowledgeable about some rare herbs. She was also a smart person. How could she not see that Gusu Liang was not that interested in her? But in her heart, she thought, His current attitude towards himself is entirely because he is his brother's fiancée. If they had not had this engagement before, maybe his attitude towards himself would be better.
What Shen Siyin is thinking about right now is the agreement he reached with Gu Suran. During the three years that he delayed it, if he had his heart set on something, he could have asked the emperor to contact him about the engagement, let alone He said that the person he wanted to marry now was Gu Su Ran's brother Gu Su Liang.
Since they are both brothers from the Gusu family, what is the difference between the elder brother and the younger brother
Shen Zhongbai hasn't noticed his sister's little thoughts yet, but he has been paying too much attention to Gu Suran's face. From the beginning, when he first saw this person, he felt a special sense of familiarity. First, if this person is really pretending to be someone he knew before, then it must not be simple if it deliberately approaches its own purpose.
But his mind was filled with what the imperial doctor said. Because the human pi mask contains animal fat, it will definitely show flaws when it comes into contact with water. He looked at Gu Suran, who had been silent all the time, and felt in his heart Suddenly I had an idea.
Shen Qiangwei is completely different from the person Gu Qiang met before. At that time, his face was more or less haggard, but now her whole face is radiant. She doesn't know what the reason is, but , he probably did not tell Shen Zhongbai what he said, otherwise, he would not be standing here completely now.
"Meet Concubine Shen."
Gu Qiang frowned slightly. She had not noticed when Shen Qiangwei entered the room just now. Now when she lowered her head and approached her, she could feel the strong smell of spices on her body.
Shen Zhongbai had been paying attention to Gu Suran, and naturally he would not let go of his frowning expression. After looking at Shen Qiangwei in front of him, he smiled softly, "This smell is really pungent at first smell. Nose, but after a while, it seems that I can't live without this smell. Qiang'er really has a pair of skillful hands and can pick out such high-quality spices."
spices? Addicted
Looking at Shen Qiangwei's meaningful smile, Gu Qiang suddenly felt as if she had understood something. It seemed that Gu Qiang had not expected that the woman she trusted most would use this method to frame him. .
Poppy flower…
Shen Qiangwei is worthy of being someone who has been on the streets for so many years. Most of the women in brothels will use musk to keep their customers, but they did not expect that Shen Qiangwei, the number one courtesan, would also use this method. , but she is very smart, and she actually knows to use such methods to slowly weaken Shen Zhongbai.
"Yeah, when I first smelled this smell, I felt a little uncomfortable, but after playing with it for a while, I felt a little used to it, and I even thought it smelled good."
Shen Siyin answered the question nonchalantly, but it made Gu Qiang feel bitter. Shen Siyin also grew up in the mountains and was proficient in pharmacology. Could it be that she couldn't smell the problem in this spice
The situation was almost the same as usual. The only time for lunch was nothing but greetings. To be honest, they really didn't have anything to say. Instead of doing this, it would be better to eat honestly.
"By the way, the top-quality tea from Jiangnan was sent as tribute a few days ago. I really think this tea is very good. I heard that the two young masters of the Gusu family have great insights into tea ceremony. Today, you two happen to be here, so I will bring the tea. I came out to make a fool of myself, but the local official who paid tribute to the tea said that the tea must be brewed and allowed to cool before it tastes good, so I sent someone to brew the tea just now, and now that I think about it, it should be about the same."
Shen Zhongbai winked at the people around him, and the little eunuch went down to get the tea. Shen Zhongbai didn't know whether Gu Suran really wore a human mask, so he couldn't throw the boiling tea on his face. Just use tea.
After the young eunuch withdrew, he came back in a blink of an eye. Another servant who was waiting carefully made tea for Shen Zhongbai, Shen Siyin, and Shen Qiangwei, then turned around and made tea for Gu Qiang.
Gu Qiang always felt that this little eunuch had a weird expression. He originally thought that this might be someone sent by Shen Zhongbai to test him, but he did not expect that this little eunuch was really serious. The tea was poured, but the teapot was not held firmly. , let go directly. Although Gu Suliang still had some feelings about what Gu Qiang said just now, when he saw that she was in danger, he quickly reached out his hand, but he didn't expect it. , although he reacted quickly and caught the tea cup, it did not prevent the water in the teapot from being spilled. Gu Qiang watched helplessly as most of the pot of water flew directly towards her face, without any time to dodge. , all the tea spilled on his face and hair.
Where has the little eunuch seen such a scene? He was so frightened that he knelt on the ground. Shen Zhongbai immediately dropped the cup in his hand, "How do you do this, a dog slave? Can't you even pour tea?"
Although Shen Zhongbai was blaming the little eunuch and saying that he wanted to send him away, his eyes never left Gu Su Ran. He looked at it carefully over and over again, including Gu Su Ran wiping his face with a handkerchief for a long time. She didn't see any flaws on his face, and then she realized that she asked the people waiting around her to quickly find some clothes for him to change into.
"This group of dog slaves are acting more and more shamelessly now, and they actually did such a thing." Shen Zhongbai seemed very angry, looking at the people around him, and said angrily.
But even though he said so, he couldn't find any evidence that Gusu Ran had false identity. He had indeed sent people to the Jiangnan area to investigate. When Gusu Liang was doing business in Jiangnan in the early years, everyone did Everyone knows that he has such a frail and sickly brother, and he has visited famous doctors all over the south of the Yangtze River, so many people can prove that the existence of Gu Suran is not a person who appeared out of thin air, nor is he disguised. , but Shen Zhongbai always felt that something was wrong with this person, and even now he still dare not fully trust him.
Seeing Shen Zhongbai being so angry, Shen Qiangwei quickly poured a glass of wine for him, "Your Majesty, don't be angry yet. Just send that dog slave to be punished. It's not worth it to be so angry."
All the clothes on Gu Suran's body were wet. She had no other choice but to take the clothes handed over by the little eunuch serving beside Shen Zhongbai and prepare to go out to find a place to change into them.
After Shen Qiangwei helped Shen Zhongbai pour the wine, she didn't know what excuse she used to come out, but she happened to bump into Gu Qiang, who had just changed her clothes.
"Prince-in-law, haven't you discovered that the emperor is already doubting your identity?" Shen Qiangwei looked at Gu Qiang who had changed her clothes, with a bit of contempt in her eyes.
Gu Qiang naturally knew that Shen Qiangwei came out specifically to have something to say to him, so he did not pay too much attention to her current attitude towards him, "I have to thank the imperial concubine for the reminder. Cao Min is just a businessman and doesn't understand." There are so many things in the palace that I may have to rely on in the future, so please give me some advice."
The smile on Shen Qiangwei's face suddenly disappeared. "You and I are both smart people. If anything happens, I won't talk in circles with you. I have seriously considered what you said before. I am willing to stand on your side, but how should Shen Zhongbai be dealt with? , I must make the decision.”
"Hasn't the imperial concubine actually made a decision? The spice on your body is the best evidence. You actually completely believe my words, don't you?"
Gu Qiang looked at Shen Qiangwei in front of him. Shen Zhongbai had always believed in him, so he had never doubted Shen Qiangwei. Even when she helped him escape from the palace, Shen Zhongbai had never doubted her. However, Shen Zhongbai Why on earth would you call her Qianer? Is it possible that this matter still has something to do with me
