Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 148
When he heard the cry, Gu Sixiao turned his head slowly, and couldn't help laughing when he saw the official Hai Daguan standing by the street.

Crossing the long street, she saluted with a smile, "Uncle Hai, long time no see, I haven't thanked you for the congratulatory gift before."

With a wave of his hand, the official Hai said with a smile: "What are some small gifts? When you get married, you really want to give a big congratulatory gift. Otherwise, your aunt will not bother me to death!"

Hearing this with a slight smile, Gu Sixiao said in a low voice: "You complain, but in fact, uncle also knows that aunt treats you the best." Thinking that this straightforward uncle belongs to the prince, she couldn't help but feel a little depressed .

Unaware of Gu Sixiao's abnormality, Hai Daguan smiled and rubbed his hands, "My yellow-faced woman is naturally kind to me, otherwise, I can let her like this! I don't mind you, girl. I'll do it Jinan, I want to meet a big man, so don't delay..."

Glancing to the side, he whispered: "Your uncle, my entire wealth is entrusted to this person."

Following Mr. Hai's eyes, he looked to the side, and saw that it was an antique shop, "Where is the big man that uncle wants to meet?"

In fact, he had already guessed that the person Hai Daguan came to see was Zheng Xuan, the son of Marquis of Jianchang, but Gu Sixiao still pretended to be confused.

"No, your uncle is a rough man, and he doesn't understand those things, so he doesn't dare to obstruct the nobleman's eyes, so he just waited outside to see when the nobleman has time to see me."

While talking, a man in a green shirt came out of the antique shop.

That man, with a sharp body and sharp eyes, seemed to be a follower, but when the Hai Daguan saw it, he whispered: "This is a master!"

The more noble the more he cherishes his life, and the people with him are naturally masters.

Gu Sixiao murmured to himself, seeing the man in green shirt approaching them, he hurriedly bid farewell to Mr. Hai.It's just that before she walked away, the man suddenly called out: "Miss Gu, please stay still..."

Know who she is!
With a sigh of emotion, Gu Sixiao was not surprised.

Even if she is not a native of Jinan, it is not difficult to find out who she is.

"Master Hai, my son invites you and Miss Gu to go in and drink tea together."

Turning his head to look at Gu Sixiao, Hai Daguan looked surprised. If it wasn't for the fact that the man in green shirt was not getting close, he would have asked.

This little lady, I can't see it!Even the son knows.

Although he saw the eyes of Daguan Hai, Gu Sixiao could only smile wryly.

After entering the antique store, I didn't see anyone in the store. It was not surprising that the shop assistant saw someone coming in. The man in green shirt led the two of them straight through the store and into the backyard.

Gu Sixiao lowered her head halfway, and didn't look around, as if she wasn't curious about her surroundings.

But in my heart I was shocked and scared.

I don't know if Su Jingchun knows that Zheng Shizi actually has this place in Jinan City.

If he didn't know at all, then did Zheng Shizi have other strongholds in Jinan City?Are all his actions under the control of the other party?

Thinking of this, Gu Sixiao felt a little flustered.

Forced to be calm, when she walked into the room, she really made up her mind to die.

If the other party has malicious intentions, even if she is killed, she cannot betray Su Jingchun.

She was uneasy, and so were the Hai officials.As soon as he entered the room, he saw the young man sitting at the table. When the other party raised his head, he had already bent down deeply, "Little Haida, I have met the prince."

"Official Hai!" Zheng Xuan smiled slightly, and did not deliberately put on airs, his gentle attitude reassured the official Hai a lot.

"Sit down, young lady Gu will sit too." Zheng Xuan smiled and said softly, "I was so negligent before, don't blame young lady."

"The prince was joking..." Gu Sixiao gave a salute, and didn't intend to justify anything, so he apologized directly, "It was the little girl who made a mistake before. There are a lot of princes, and the crime of deception is not pursued. The little girl is already grateful."

"Oh, what kind of crime is that?" Zheng Xuan smiled, cupped his hands and said, "I still need to ask the young lady to say a few good words in front of my fiancée——I have been weak and sick since I was a child, and I am afraid that she will dislike me. .”

"Your Majesty is joking..." Gu Sixiao looked up at Zheng Xuan, but didn't say much.

Although Lin Mo Niang did ask her to help with the interview, she still felt uncomfortable talking about it in front of others.

Let others know, I'm afraid they will talk about Lin Mo Niang behind her back.

Turning her eyes away, she glanced at Mr. Hai, then lowered her head again.

Zheng Xuan smiled, and looked at Mr. Hai, "Mr. Mr. Hai, I have heard of your reputation in Beijing. I have been friends with you for a long time, but I have never had the chance to meet you. This time, it is also a good opportunity—— Coincidentally, someone invited me to visit Daming Lake tomorrow, and the officials will also enjoy it, let's go together!"

Yan Yan laughed, but did not mention any auditing.

Hai Daguan opened his mouth and looked at Gu Sixiao again. Although he was a rough person, he felt that it was not suitable to say these words at the moment.

Although we all know that every sea merchant has a backer, but it is hard to explain clearly.

The title of "struggling with the people for profit" is not pleasant, right?

Thinking so in his heart, Hai Daguan laughed and said: "I am a rough person, what do you say, my son?"

Zheng Xuan smiled, nodded, and actually stopped looking at Hai Daguan, just stared at Gu Sixiao for a while, and then said: "Miss Gu should also know about tomorrow's lake tour, right? It's not someone else who invited me , is Mrs. Gu's fiancé, Young Master Su."

With a hot face, Gu Sixiao thought to herself, could it be that Shang Wu talked so fast?After thinking about it, I realized that it might not be Shang Wu who said it.

"The son misunderstood, the little girl has not promised others yet."

"Really? That means the little lady and Mr. Su are in love with each other, and they have secretly promised each other for life?"

With a serious face, Gu Sixiao couldn't bear such a crime anyway, "My son, you are a nobleman, how can you listen to those people's gossip? How can you ask each other so rashly? Although the little girl is only the daughter of a merchant, she can't Let the son insult you like this..."

Hearing this, Zheng Xuan couldn't help laughing, looking at Gu Sixiao's flushed cheeks, he turned his head and laughed in a low voice.

Feeling terrified by his laughter, Gu Sixiao raised her head angrily, but seeing Zheng Xuan's expression, somehow, she immediately shivered.

He is obviously a gentle-looking man, but why does it give people a weird feeling when he smiles like this.

Pursing her lips, Gu Sixiao wanted to say something, but for some reason she was afraid and couldn't say it.

The laughter stopped suddenly, Zheng Xuan looked at Gu Sixiao coldly, and didn't speak.

Not to mention that Gu Sixiao felt uncomfortable, even Hai Daguan felt that something was wrong.

Just when Gu Sixiao opened his mouth to speak, Zheng Xuan suddenly laughed again, "It's my son who is rude, so don't be angry, little lady."

It was a gentle and gentle sentence, but Gu Sixiao felt afraid no matter how he heard it.

Zheng Xuan didn't seem to care, just looked at Gu Sixiao and said with a smile: "There is one more thing I want to ask my little lady for help."

"My son—please tell me." Gu Sixiao's voice was a little rough.

When she saw it the day before yesterday, she still couldn't feel it, but today she felt full of oppression, no matter how gentle the tone was, it made her feel panicked.

Zheng Xuan smiled slightly, "Although we are engaged and we are about to make a big engagement, I have never met the daughter of the Lin family, and I didn't see him when I visited the Lin family before. I know that the daughter of the Lin family must be panicking now. I don't know what kind of person my fiancé is, so I want to take the opportunity of tomorrow's lake tour to ask the little lady to date the little lady of the Lin family for me..."

"Your Majesty is being abrupt." Although Gu Sixiao was frightened, she still gritted her teeth and said these words.

"It's a bit abrupt—but it's also because of love..." Zheng Xuan smiled, staring at Gu Sixiao's eyes, "I also ask my little lady to help you."

Swallowing her saliva, Gu Sixiao didn't dare to refuse again, so she just nodded.

When she got out of the room, she felt that her back was wet.

Hai Daguan looked at her and felt uncomfortable, "This son is really a powerful person—little lady, shall I send you back?"

Shaking his head, Gu Sixiao returned a salute with a strong smile, thought and thought after leaving, but still did not go to the teahouse to meet Su Jingchun.

She suspected that Zheng Xuan sent someone to watch her. If she went to see Su Jingchun at this time, she didn't know what the consequences would be.

Going straight to the Lin Mansion, Gu Sixiao didn't coax Lin Mo Niang, but frankly told what happened just now.

"Your Majesty is so prestigious that I didn't dare to refuse. Elder sister, if you don't want to go on the lake tour tomorrow, I'd better go back and tell your Majesty."

After waving her hands, Lin Mo Niang said lightly: "Since the sons and daughters meet, I will go no matter how difficult it is."

After a moment of silence, she sighed lowly: "He even opened his mouth. If I don't go, how will we meet when I get married in the future?!"

This is indeed the reason. When she was forced to accept Lin Mo Niang just now, Zheng Xuan already knew the result, right?
Gu Sixiao apologized a little, if it wasn't for her, probably Lin Moniang wouldn't have faced such an embarrassing situation.

Seeing her thoughts, Lin Mo Niang smiled and said: "I don't blame you, this matter happened because of me, if I hadn't begged you to help me see the face, my son would not have thought about it suddenly."

She lowered her head and smiled slightly, "Actually, it's not a bad thing, at least I can meet him in person..."

Although he was uneasy, there was still an inexplicable look of expectation in his eyes.

Seeing this, Gu Sixiao felt a little relieved.

After returning from Lin's house, she went straight back to the shop, but she sent a boy to the tea house to leave a message for Su Jingchun, saying that she and Lin Mo Niang would go to the lake tomorrow.He also vaguely understood that Zheng Shizi was not a good person to get along with.

She waited bitterly in the shop until the guy came back and said that she had seen Su Jingchun in person, then she felt at ease.

She had nothing to say all night, and the next day, she woke up early, still in a trance.

"Little lady, I've finished combing..."

Hearing Xiaodie's voice, Gu Sixiao raised his head, looked at the face in the mirror, and was suddenly startled.

Is that gloomy expression her? !
Touching her heart, Gu Sixiao bit her lip, feeling a little blocked.

Vaguely, as if feeling that something was about to happen.

What the hell is it? !
"Xiaodie, you go to the lake with me today, remember, if I leave your sight for more than half a stick of incense, and you don't know where I went, go find Mr. Su."

Xiao Die was startled when Gu Sixiao suddenly held her hand, "Little, little lady, are you okay?!"

"It's okay." Shaking his head, Gu Sixiao smiled slightly, "I think too much, you don't have to be afraid, just remember what I said..."

If something really happened, Su Jingchun would definitely save her in time - inexplicably, she was so sure in her heart.
