Just at this time, there was a commotion outside.
The two boys were concerned about their masters, so they both ran out to watch.
I saw a few people who looked like teachers and a group of teenagers huddled under the stairs, clamoring to see the person who played the piano just now.
Gu Xiaojia rushed over: "Who are you?"
A person who looked like a master introduced himself: "This is Dean Liu of Yangzhou Plum Blossom Academy, and this is Dean Wang of Yangzhou Zhengyi Academy. These are the masters and students of the two academies. Today, the two academies hold a debate competition On the way back, I heard someone playing the qin, and I was waiting to hear the sound of a fairy! I especially ask to see the qin player, and please have mercy."
Gu Xiaojia snorted, but before he could speak, he heard Lao Tao say from behind: "My son has already rested, please come back tomorrow morning."
Dean Liu said sincerely, "Can you give me an exact time?"
Old Tao said: "Chen Shi will do."
Dean Liu and the others were about to leave when Gu She's zither sounded again.
Gu Xiaojia and Hao Guozi all looked at Lao Tao, and Lao Tao's face twitched.
Fortunately, the masters and students of the two academies were all crazy, and no one noticed.
Gu Xiaojia turned around gently, went upstairs and returned to Gu's shooting room.
After a long time, when the song was over, Gu Sheqing's cold voice came: "Just say this song is for them. No see."
Dean Liu and the others were grateful and disappointed at the same time after hearing what Gu Xiaojia brought, they pulled Gu Xiaojia and asked, "I wonder if your son is..."
Hao Guozi became impatient, and pulled Gu Xiaojia's arm back from Dean Liu's hand: "Who do you care about my son?"
As soon as the words fell, there was a greeting with a smile from the door of the inn: "As expected, Gu Xianzhi is here."
Gu Xiaojia looked up and frowned: "Young Master Zhang?"
Hao Guozi saw that Mr. Zhang was dressed in luxurious clothes, and he was elegant, and he didn't know where the sacred place was, so he couldn't help looking at Lao Tao.
Lao Tao frowned, thinking he shouldn't have come to Yangzhou!
Dean Liu and the others were excited: "Mr. Zhang, you said that the one who plays the piano is Gu Xianzhi, the most talented man in the world?!"
Mr. Zhang said with a smile: "Xianzhi is my classmate, I can't hear his piano wrong."
Dean Wang shed tears: "I have to hear Gu Xianzhi's piano in this life, and I will die without regrets!"
Mr. Zhang came between the two groups of people, turned around, faced Dean Liu and the others and said, "Since Xianzhi doesn't want to see him, it's useless for you to stay here, it's useless to annoy him."
Dean Liu and the others left reluctantly.
Gu Xiaojia saw that everyone had left, so he said: "Young Master Zhang, my Young Master didn't even say he would meet you!"
Young Master Zhang smiled and said, "Your Young Master doesn't know I'm coming. If he knows I'm coming, he might meet me."
Gu Xiaojia didn't dare to hide anything, so he had to say to him: "You wait." He ran upstairs to tell Gu She.
After a while, Gu Xiaojia came downstairs and invited Mr. Zhang to go upstairs.
Lao Tao walked around to the backyard, seeing no one around, flew onto the roof.
Hearing Gu She call that Mr. Zhang "Brother Zishu", he thought to himself: "Could this be the Zhang Zishu that the young master often mentioned before? It is said that he and Mr. Gu are classmates, and they are also well-known talents in the world."
Hearing that Zhang Zishu said that he came to Yangzhou to serve as a referee for two academies, he confirmed his guess even more in his heart.
Without a few words of greeting, Zhang Zishu asked Gu She if he was married.
Gu She said lightly: "Not yet, but it's coming soon. Let's wait a few months for him to reach the crown."
Zhang Zishu was obviously taken aback: "Ji Guan? Could it be that brother Xian's sweetheart is..."
Gu She did not hesitate: "He is a man."
Zhang Zishu suddenly clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "As expected of Gu Xianzhi!"
Gu She's displeased voice: "Keep your voice down, he just fell asleep."
Zhang Zishu wondered, "Is he in this inn?"
"next door."
Zhang Zishu sighed.
Gu She asked: "Brother Zishu, can we get married?"
"once having seen the best, the rest is not worthwhile looking."
"Do you remember that boy?"
"Unfortunately, he is not broken sleeve."
Gu She was silent for a moment: "As long as you haven't got married, no one can say for sure. I used to think that I was not Duanxiu, and I used to think that he was not Duanxiu either."
"Why did brother Xian have such a misunderstanding? Could it be because of him..."
"He once liked a woman."
"Even so, brother Xian can... Zishu admire!"
"Brother Zishu, why don't you go find the boy you like, maybe he will also like Brother Zishu's talent."
Zhang Zishu sighed, "If I had heard Brother Xian's words earlier, I wouldn't have been wasted for three years."
Old Tao on the roof felt his heart tighten for no reason.
Sure enough, Gu She in the room asked, "Is he..."
"He is Tao Wuwen, the only son of Tao Zhengchun, the shopkeeper of Zuixiang Building on Zhuque Street. I fell in love with you at first sight three years ago. I sold calligraphy and paintings that can only be bought with a land deed of three acres of land. It's a pity that he didn't like it. There was only Shanglu, the top brand in Qunxiangyuan. Then Zuixianglou was suddenly closed, and he disappeared. I inquired for a long time, but there was no whereabouts of him, so I had to study around the world, looking forward to seeing him one day."
Lao Tao frowned, where did the young master provoke all these debts of love? !
Gu She got up and sighed: "Then you are too late. The one I told you just waiting for the crown ceremony is him."
Gu She pushed open the door: "Brother Zishu, please."
Zhang Zishu froze.
After finally moving outside the door, he asked with a glimmer of hope, "Can I take a look at him?"
"He's asleep."
Zhang Zishu took a few steps in a daze, and Gu She suddenly said, "If there is a third person who knows his whereabouts, it's you who told me."
Zhang Zishu was shocked, but did not stop.
Zhang Zishu left, but Gu She didn't go back to his room, but came outside Tao Mo's room and watched the window not move.
It seemed that the window was Tao Mo.
Lao Tao swiped down from the roof and called softly, "Young Master Gu."
When the two returned to the house, Lao Tao asked, "Why didn't Mr. Gu let the young master take care of him?"
Gu She smiled wryly, "I can't sleep with him beside me."
Old Tao was startled: "But the young master snoring?"
Gu She shook his head: "He sleeps very peacefully."
"Then—" Lao Tao suddenly stopped talking, because he blushed instantly when he saw Gu She.
To cover up his embarrassment, he clenched his fist and coughed heavily.
"This time in Beijing, it is inevitable that we will meet Prime Minister Gu. How will Mr. Gu plan to talk about the young master with Prime Minister Gu?"
Gu She instantly regained his composure: "He doesn't care about my affairs. I only bring Wu Wen to see my grandfather."
"What if even the great general doesn't like the young master?"
"Then make him unhappy."
Old Tao choked, but his heart was warm.
Gu She turned to look at him: "What else?"
"That—" Lao Tao thought about it, "Young master Gu also knows that the young master is like a parent to me. Although you can't have a big banquet with guests and get married, it's always okay to invite a few old friends over for a drink."
He thought to himself: At that time, some masters in the world will be invited to be witnesses. If Gu She loses to Tao Mo, these people are all witnesses, lest Mu Chun hinder Lian Xueyi's face and deal with him.
Unexpectedly, Gu She's complexion sank!
"Why can't we have a big feast for our guests?"
"This—" Lao Tao didn't know what to say because of his instantly gloomy and terrifying expression.
Gu She was categorical: "I want to announce to the world that I, Gu Xianzhi, and Tao Wuwen are married!"
Old Tao didn't expect him to be so bold, he was relieved but worried and said: "After all, the young master is an official of the imperial court, Gu Xianghe and even the great general are still in court... Ah Ce and Ji Wudi did not pay homage back then."
"Everything, there must always be the first person to do it."
Lao Tao worriedly dissuaded him: "Although people all over the world will be surprised if you cut off your sleeves today, most people still can't accept it. I'm afraid that the big day will just cause anger."
"You just said that you treat Wuwen like a parent and child?"
"Huh?" Lao Tao didn't understand.
"Elder of the dignified Demon Sect, if you can't keep the troublemakers out of the wedding hall, what's the use of you?"
"..." Old Tao was dumbfounded. Gu She's words were very blunt, but after thinking about it, it was indeed the truth. All the troublemakers in this world can only manage the weak. How can someone like Gu She, who has the two major backers of General Lian and the Devil's Cult, take the criticism of the troublemakers to heart
Seeing that he was silent, Gu She said again: "In three months and one day, Wu Wen's birthday, crowning ceremony and our wedding will be held together. You can invite your old friends in advance and tell Gu Xiaojia the number of people later. "
"Actually, you don't have to wait that long." Old Tao was very open-minded, "I wonder if Mr. Gu still remembers how old the leader was when he married Princess Xueyi?"
Mu Chun was only 17 years old at that time.
Gu She frowned: "I'm not him."
Before dawn, Lao Tao woke up everyone and asked the inn to prepare some dry food to take with him on the road.
Hao Guozi didn't get enough sleep, so Gu Xiaojia lifted her up.
When he came to the stable, Hao Guozi was taken aback: "Where's our horse?"
Suddenly woke up.
Gu Xiaojia untied the horse nonchalantly: "I changed six horses for us last night."
Hao Guozi wondered: "How did you change it? I didn't see you go out!"
Gu Xiaojia tapped his forehead: "The person who gave you the money last night was the shopkeeper Zhou who managed Yangzhou's property for the young master, so he asked him to change it."
Hao Guozi stuck out her tongue: "How much property does your young master have?"
"Not much, but on the way back to the capital, there is a chariot and horse shop in every city."
"Your son usually doesn't eat fireworks in the world, so he didn't expect to do business."
"Young Master, you don't care about these mundane matters! You have hired competent people to take care of them."
"Then you have to look at the account book from time to time!"
"That's what I see, the young master doesn't know how to read."
"You still read the ledger?" Hao Guozi looked at Gu Xiaojia with bright eyes.
Gu Xiaojia had already prepared the car, and got on the shaft: "How is it? I'm a good brother, aren't you?"
Hao Guozi laughed and said, "I thought you were going to say 'I thought everyone could only eat like you'!"
The carriage came out from the back door and rushed to the entrance of the inn. Gu Shetao Mo and Lao Tao came out from the lobby.
Suddenly there was a melodious sound of the piano, like Yingli singing willows and shark pearls falling into the water.
Tao Mo looked up, but he couldn't see the person playing the piano.
Gu She didn't speak, and waited for him quietly.
Tao Mo murmured: "Xianzhi, who are you listening to playing the piano?"
Gu She said lightly: "A caring person."
Finally, under the eyes of Gu She in the carriage and Lao Tao on the horse, Tao Mo reluctantly got into the carriage.
"Do you play well?"
"Well, good." Tao Mo looked at Gu She seriously, "But not as good as you."
"If one day I can't play the piano, will you still think of me?"
"?" Tao Mo was taken aback, "Why?"
Gu She looked calm: "Answer me."
Tao Mo thought seriously.
Gu She's complexion became more and more ugly as time went by.
Finally, Tao Mo's gaze focused on Gu She's face: "I don't know if I will still be happy with you, but no matter what happens to you, I will never leave you."
It was obviously not the answer Gu She was expecting, but for some reason, he got a sore nose when he heard it.
He opened his arms: "Wu Wen."
Tao Mo leaned towards him, and gently hugged him back: "Xian Zhi."
