The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 861 Coveted
Qu Huaiyun was intimidated by Gu Chengyu's appearance before, but at that time he concealed it well.

Now that he is so close to Gu Chengyu, Gu Chengyu's jade-like face inevitably makes him fascinated.

When Zhi Lian heard Qu Huaiyun said that there is a treasure map in the house, she couldn't help being puzzled.

Qu Huaiyun would be so easy-going to hand over the treasure map?

Turning his eyes to Qu Huaiyun, he found that there was something wrong with the way Qu Huaiyun looked at Gu Chengyu.

He was too familiar with that look, and the lust behind it made him feel very sick.

It was unbearable for such a noble person to be coveted by this wretched and fat pig in front of him.

Thinking of this, Zhi Lian's stomach started to turn upside down.

Gu Chengyu was suddenly approached by Qu Huaiyun, which immediately reminded him of what he saw last night.He was very disgusted in his heart, and hurriedly leaned back.

"It turns out that half of the treasure map is in Qu Mansion. As long as Patriarch Qu handed over the treasure map, I will definitely speak well for Patriarch Qu in front of the emperor."

Gu Chengyu pretended to be very interested, but in fact he knew in his heart, how could Qu Huaiyun be willing to hand over the treasure map?
Even if you are willing to hand it over, it is probably Xibei.

"Cough!" Qu Huaiyun licked his lips, and a mouthful of saliva slid down his dry throat, finally realizing that the young man in front of him was beyond his imagination.

"The old man invited Mr. Gu to come here to help Mr. Gu solve his problems. Don't worry, Mrs. Qu is loyal to the emperor and the court."

Qu Huaiyun smiled sincerely, and said the scene to Gu Chengyu.

It's a pity that this sincerity is what he thinks, and this wrinkled smile looks very wretched in Gu Chengyu's eyes.

"Steward Qiu!" Qu Huaiyun shouted, and saw a steward with a mustache trotting out from the side.

Gu Chengyu noticed that he was still holding a small black brocade box in his hand, and with just one glance, he knew what was in the brocade box.

Qu Huaiyun opened the brocade box, and Gu Chengyu's eyes moved over.

"Master Gu, what do you think this is?" Qu Huaiyun carefully placed the brocade box in front of Gu Chengyu, and then smiled without saying a word.

"This is?" Gu Chengyu pretended to be extremely excited, and hesitantly touched an old piece of parchment inside the brocade box.

Gu Chengyu glanced at the edge of the parchment, and found that the traces of breaks there were quite meticulous.

Looking at the parchment paper, it is also in line with the characteristics of a long time.

The lines in the picture are smooth. Although the place names are not marked, the location of the treasure map has been marked.

Gu Chengyu had to admit that this fake treasure map was made with care, and it took a lot of effort just to make it old.

There are even one or two vague places in the marked location, and even this has been taken into consideration.

What a pity!A fake is a fake after all.

Leaving aside the subtle differences between this half and the half in his space, the one in the space is older.

Even the thickness of the lines in the picture is slightly different. After all, it is not drawn by a single pen, and the people who draw the pictures are also different. It is normal to have differences.

The cracked marks on the edges were even more inaccurate, the half sheet was not folded in half and cut out, the edges were irregular.

Originally, it was not torn out one by one, so it was even more difficult to match.

Gu Chengyu observed carefully for a long time and came to a conclusion that the half fake treasure map was made with great care.

"Patriarch Qu is really willing to give the treasure map, I am very pleased."

Gu Chengyu carefully put the treasure map into the brocade box, and closed the box again.

Zhi Lian on the side stretched his neck from the very beginning, and when he saw the back of the treasure map, he knew it was a fake.

Once Qu Huaiyun was drunk, he abandoned his dignity in order to ask Qu Huaiyun to save his mother, and served Qu Huaiyun very comfortably.

At that time, Qu Huaiyun had just obtained the treasure map, and he had to take out the treasure map to look at it carefully every day.

Maybe because he was drunk that time, Qu Huaiyun actually took out the treasure map and showed him a look.

Although Qu Huaiyun realized something was wrong in just a moment, and hid the treasure map.

But he still saw a small burnt mark on the back of the treasure map. It was very small, smaller than a copper coin, and the edges were still a little yellowed.

Seeing that the imperial envoy was coaxed by Qu Huaiyun's few words, he believed Qu Huaiyun's words, and he couldn't help sighing secretly.

Gu Chengyu put his hand on the brocade box, and said with emotion: "Patriarch Qu is really high-spirited, he is more considerate of the overall situation than Patriarch Yi!"

His eyes inadvertently swept over the servant Zhi Lian, but Zhi Lian blinked at him, and then glanced at the box on the stone table.

Gu Chengyu understood what he meant, but he didn't expect Zhi Lian to be able to see that the treasure map was fake.

It has to be said that Qu Huaiyun was very happy with Zhi Lian, and was willing to let Zhi Lian know about such an important matter.

Then, Gu Chengyu had an idea in his heart.

After glancing at Zhi Lian, Gu Chengyu naturally looked away.

Seeing that Gu Chengyu didn't respond, Zhi Lian thought that Gu Chengyu didn't understand what he meant, so she couldn't help being a little embarrassing.

"Master, there are visitors ahead!" Guanshi Qiu appeared out of nowhere and reported to Qu Huaiyun.

Qu Huaiyun's smile gradually faded away, he knew that the person who came must be someone from the prefect of Liao, and he was here to urge him.

"Since Patriarch Qu still has something to do, I don't want to bother you. Since I met Patriarch Qu yesterday, I feel that Patriarch Qu is a man of temperament, and the two of us have similar temperaments. When Patriarch Qu is free, I will Then have a drink with Patriarch Qu."

Gu Chengyu's smile was more sincere, as if he was satisfied with Qu Huaiyun's understanding.

"What's more, Mr. Gu is also a straightforward person. I hope Mr. Gu will remember Mrs. Qu's kindness when he returns to the capital. The old man will be excused first, please forgive me!"

Gu Chengyu understood Qu Huaiyun's meaning, meaning don't forget to ask for credit for the Qu family in front of the emperor.

But Qu Huaiyun was just acting. When Gu Chengyu found out that the treasure map was fake, Qu's treasure map was already in the hands of the person in the capital.

Even if Gu Chengyu didn't buy it, he would make trouble again.Qu Huaiyun can also push it clean, saying that Qu's didn't know it was fake, they were also deceived.

"Naturally!" Gu Chengyu stood up, ready to go back to his residence in Qu Mansion.

"You go down first! You don't need to go to the study with the old man." Qu Huaiyun told Zhi Lian behind him, smiled at Gu Chengyu, and went to the study.

Qu Huaiyun left, but Qiu Guanshi did not leave.He bowed his body and said nothing.

Gu Chengyu knew that Guanshi Qiu was not worried about himself, but that the boy Zhilian should be the one he was really worried about.

Gu Chengyu smiled meaningfully at Zhi Lian, then turned and returned.

Zhi Lian was stunned for a moment, then took another look at Qiu Guanshi, turned around and left the garden.

It was another quiet night, Gu Chengyu didn't go out to inquire about the news in person today, because he already had a better way.

　Thanks to book friend Yun Duo for the reward!
