The Rebirth of Space: the Lucky Girl From a Farm Family

Chapter 176 Upright and awe-inspiring

The Xian Wang nodded, glanced at Gu Huayu, then turned his attention to Li Cheng and asked, "Gu family? Which Gu family is it?"

The wise king thought for a moment and found that no one he knew had the surname Gu.

Li Cheng looked at Gu Huayu and was about to answer when Gu Huayu took the first step and said, "Go back to your lord, my daughter's family is in Shicheng and she has just arrived in the capital these days."

 “Stone City? Stone City of Xinzhou Prefecture?” King Xian asked in surprise.

Gu Huayu leaned forward and said, "Exactly."

The wise king walked to the top and sat down. He raised his hands to the people standing there and said, "You all can sit down, there is no need to be polite."

 Everyone sat down one by one. King Xian looked at Li Tao, then at Gu Huayu, and asked, "Interesting, how do you know each other when one is in the capital and the other is in Shicheng?"

Li Cheng stepped forward to serve tea to the wise king and said: "A few years ago, Siwen and Zaixia went to Hongcheng to celebrate the birthday of their elder. It happened that Miss Gu was also in Hongcheng, so Siwen met Miss Gu in Hongcheng. ”

The Xian Wang's eyes lit up, and he looked at Gu Huayu in surprise, "Are you the little girl who asked our Demon King to give you ten thousand taels of silver? Do you know that you are the first person to make Si Wen fall into a fight."

Gu Huayu looked at Li Tao. She didn't expect that Li Tao would be embarrassed by his impulsive actions.

Li Tao was looking at Li Cheng sadly, "Brother..."

 Li Cheng raised his head and looked at Li Tao, "What? Isn't this true?"

Li Tao touched his nose uncomfortably and muttered: "Don't others want to lose face?"

Jiang Huanzhi smiled and said, "Who here doesn't know what you are like? How can we talk about face in front of us? Huh?"

Li Tao looked at Gu Huayu embarrassedly and regretted it again and again. Okay, why did he bring Gu Xiaoyu to enjoy the flowers? There are so many places to visit in Beijing?

Li Tao turned around and saw Gu Huayu looking at him. He leaned towards Gu Huayu and whispered: "They are bigger than me. They all bully me."

Gu Huayu smiled and nodded, "Yes, I can see it."

Li Tao whispered: "Xiaoyu, you are my good friend, you have to stand by my side. Well!"

Gu Huayu smiled but said nothing.

Lu Ziqin's expression darkened when he saw Li Tao approaching Gu Huayu from the corner of his eye.

Li Tao saw that Gu Huayu was silent, and then said: "Xiaoyu, we have been friends for many years..."

Jiang Che looked at Li Tao and asked, "Siwen, why did Chen Er offend you? You left him soaking in Tianxiang Pond for half a day."

After hearing Jiang Che's words, Li Tao sat up straight and looked at his brother nervously. Seeing Li Cheng staring at him, he felt even more uneasy.

 He has been hiding the matter of dealing with Chen Er from his family.

The Xian Wang was reaching out to hold the tea cup. After listening to Jiang Che's words, he stopped what he was doing and asked curiously: "Which Chen Er? Put a person in Tianxiang Pond to soak for half a day? This person was not smoked to death? Brother Tao, this How much hatred do people have against you? You actually use this trick."

Jiang Che said with a smile: "The Chen Mansion in Nianfeng Lane was one household in the early years, but now it is divided. Of course, it is still one household to the outside world. In fact, it is the residence of Chen Zhongqin, the minister of household affairs, and Chen Zhongyan, the minister of Taichang Temple.

 Chen Zhongqin and Chen Zhongyan are cousins. This Chen Er, named Chen Yuanhang, is the son of Chen Zhongyan and the second eldest child in the Chen family.

 Chen Zhongyan also has an older brother, and the two brothers need Chen Yuanhang, so they usually treat Chen Yuanhang as his treasure.

Chen Yuanhang was forced by Siwen to soak in Tianxiang Pond for half a day, which made the wife and old lady of Chen's house heartbroken and cried several times in the house.

I heard that after Chen Yuanhang came out of Tianxiang Pond and washed himself more than ten times, he was still smelly. Not only the people were smelly, but the yard where he lived was also smelly. "

King Xian looked at Li Cheng and said, "Aren't your family members related to the Chen family?"

Li Cheng leaned forward and said, "Yes, Chen Zhongyan's sister-in-law is my mother's cousin."

When Gu Huayu heard this, she felt that the world was too small, and people she knew would meet again after going around a lot. It seems that he has a strong bond with the Chen family.

The wise king raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Tao with gloating, "I'm wondering, I'm guessing, how will Qingchuan punish you after you return?"

Li Tao looked at Li Cheng and hurriedly explained: "Brother, this matter is really not my fault. It is Chen Er who owes him and should be beaten."

Li Cheng said coldly: "Are you still reasonable? No one in the Chen family is here anymore? Chen Er has done something wrong and has been taught by his elders. Do you need to meddle in other people's business?"

Li Tao glanced at Gu Huayu and argued with reason: "Brother, what you said is wrong."

 “Am I still wrong?” Li Cheng said.

“Of course you are wrong. You have always taught me that a person should know right from wrong and right from wrong. A man should be righteous and not timid. Right?

　　That day, Chen Er teased a common girl in public. He did such an obscene thing. Just because he had a few relatives, I pretended not to see it?

 What's more, the person Chen Er is teasing is my friend. Can I stand aside and watch? Then I am not a heartless person, then what kind of man am I?

For the sake of my relatives, I let him soak in Tianxiang Pond for half a day. If he wasn't a relative, I wouldn't torture him to death. "

Li Cheng glared at Li Tao, "You..."

Gu Huayu leaned forward and said, "First Master Li, I'm sorry. That day, Second Young Master Li stood up for me."

Jiang Che didn’t expect this to be the case, so he said apologetically: “I work with Chen Yuansan, the eldest son of Chen Shilang. I heard Chen Yuansan talk about this matter, but I don’t know the whole story.”

 Lv Ziqin raised his tea cup towards Li Tao, "Siwen did a good job, thank you!"

Jiang Che looked at Lu Ziqin in surprise and asked, "Siwen helped Miss Gu, Qingyan, what are you grateful for?"

Lu Ziqin took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and said, "Xiaoyu is my savior. Xiaoyu's affairs are my business. Siwen helped Xiaoyu out, so I should naturally say thank you."

"Savior? Qing Yan and Miss Gu also know each other?" Jiang Che turned his attention to Gu Huayu and looked at her again.

Lu Ziqin continued: "I know Xiaoyu even earlier than Siwen. Xiaoyu, if you encounter someone like Chen Er in the future, feel free to fight back. If anything happens, I will take care of you."

Gu Huayu smiled at Lu Ziqin, leaned forward and said, "Thank you, Brother Qingyan."

Those present were all people who were close to Lu Ziqin. In their hearts, Lu Ziqin was a self-possessed and aloof person. Even the Ye family brothers and sisters have never been so protected by him.

 It seems that the girl in front of him is special to Lu Ziqin.

The Xian Wang looked at Gu Huayu with a more probing look, and there was a sense of sourness in his heart.

Jiang Che looked at Lu Ziqin and asked, "Qingyan, the grace of saving my life is not something I say lightly."

Lu Ziqin met Jiang Che’s gaze and said, “I know.”

"What kind of life-saving grace? Who is in danger of life?" Hua Ruiming stepped into the room and asked in a loud voice.

Jiang Che turned to look at Hua Xu and said with a smile, "Lord Commander, you are late."

Hua Ruiming stepped forward to greet the wise king, and then said to Jiang Che: "I'm sorry, I was in the middle of a discussion when I received the message, so I was a little late. I will punish myself with three cups in a while, okay?"

Jiang Che smiled and said, "That's great!"

Gu Huayu looked at Hua Ruiming and saw that he was wearing a light green temple gown, a mutton-fat jade belt around his waist, and a jade crown on his head. His face was pale, and his eyes were swollen and blue. One look at him revealed that he had not rested well at night.

 When Hua Ruiming turned around and saw Gu Huayu, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Yo! Who is this?"

 Gu Huayu felt a sense of disgust from his frivolous smile. She felt disgusted in her heart, but with a smile on her face, she stood up and said politely: "Hello, my lord, the daughter of the people, Gu Huayu."

Looking at Gu Huayu's smile, Hua Ruiming's bones were so tender that he responded with a smile: "Okay, please sit down."

Li Tao couldn't see Hua Ruiming's confused look, so he said to Gu Hua: "Xiao Yu, there is no need to be formal or polite."

Gu Huayu smiled at Li Tao and said, "Etiquette still needs to be observed."

Hua Ruiming saw Li Tao defending Gu Huayu, and Gu Huayu sat next to Li Tao again, thinking that Gu Huayu was brought by Li Tao. He pursed his lips and smiled, then bowed his hands to Li Cheng and Lu Ziqin.

Jiang Che smiled and said: "When Qingyan left Beijing, we were still brothers. When Qingyan came back, Wende became Qingyan's brother-in-law. Qingyan didn't expect this, right?"

Lu Ziqin said lightly: "I didn't expect it. I didn't expect it because I haven't been in the capital in the past few years. Wende has experienced these changes personally, and he is still the same as before, without any sense of having a family."

The wise king took advantage of the situation and said to Hua Xu: "I heard that Ziqiu is still in the British palace? You have been married for several years, so it's time to calm down."

Hua Ruiming touched his nose uncomfortably and said, "There are a lot of things these days. I have been quite busy. I will leave here soon. I will go to the Duke's Mansion to take Ziqiu back."

The wise king glanced at Hua Xu and said nothing.

Li Cheng smoothed things over and said, "Everyone is here, let's serve the food."

Li Tao didn't want to be with these people, so he immediately responded: "I'm starving, let's serve the food."

Li Tao whispered to Gu Hua, "I can't treat you to a banquet today. I'll treat you to another day."

Gu Huayu smiled and nodded, "Okay."

Gu Huayu smiled with crooked eyebrows and stars, eclipsing everything around her.

Hua Ruiming was facing Gu Huayu. When he looked up, his heart skipped a beat and he lost his mind.

Lu Ziqin took in Hua Ruiming's expression, glanced at Hua Ruiming with disgust, and asked: "Why did the second sister go to find trouble for the Chen family girl?"

Hua Ruiming came back to his senses and replied: "How did I know this? Although Chen Xue and I grew up together, we are innocent and have nothing wrong with each other."

Lu Ziqin said calmly: "You are the head of the family, and you cannot ignore the affairs of the house. Otherwise, the censor will find out that you are not strict in running the house.

The Chen family has been out of state for many years. After Chen Song's death, the Chen family has no connection with Huafu. It's not wrong for Ziqiu to go looking for Miss Chen. You have to take care of her. "

 “The Chen family has long since withdrawn from its nationality?” King Xian asked with a frown.

Lu Ziqin nodded, "Since Chen Song became a staff member, his family has been freed from slavery."

"Oh, that's it. That Ziqiu has gone too far. If the Chen family goes to the Yamen to sue Ziqiu, Ziqiu will be embarrassed." King Xian took over.

Lu Ziqin said: "Even if the Chen family did not renounce their citizenship, Ziqiu's behavior was very shameful. He treated his servants kindly and leniently. A mistress of the house spread her grievances on unrelated people and allowed her own temper to do whatever she wanted. , What are you talking about? How can you act like a mistress?"

 Wang Xian felt a little uncomfortable when he saw that Lu Ziqin did not speak for Lu Ziqiu, but instead spoke for the Chen family.

But it was difficult to say anything to Lu Ziqin, so he said to Huaxu: "Wende needs to think about it, why is Ziqiu so resentful? You are the head of the family. If the backyard is not settled, how can you do big things?"

Hua Ruiming leaned forward and scolded him one by one, but these two people couldn't be offended.

Had I known it was the Hongmen Banquet, even if I had beaten him to death, he would not have come.

At this moment, Hua Ruiming regretted coming to the banquet.

Jiang Che also heard some gossip in the past few days, and asked curiously: "Why did Madam Lu seek to vent her anger on Miss Chen? If she wanted to take someone out to vent her anger on, there are many servants in the mansion, so why would she go to the Chen Mansion to vent her anger on someone?" "

Hua Ruiming lowered his head and said truthfully: "When my father was still alive, he wanted me to marry Chen Xue. My mother felt that the family background of the Chen family was too low, so she was unwilling. Somehow, Zi Qiu found out about this, and she was sour and jealous. I often go to find Chen Xue to cause trouble."

Jiang Che nodded clearly, "Then Miss Chen is really a disaster. Mrs. Lu went too far. The same goes for Wende. Since you married Ziqiu, you should treat Ziqiu better and stop messing around outside."

Hua Ruiming blurted out: "Zi Qiu's face is so ugly, who wants to face that face all day long?"

Jiang Che looked at King Xian awkwardly and then at Lu Ziqin.

Hua Ruiming realized that he had made a mistake, so he picked up the cup and drank tea to cover up his panic.

"Are you marrying blindly? Do you think he is ugly now? Why did you go there earlier? It seems like you didn't know Lu Ziqiu before. Lu Ziqiu is not good-looking, and you only found out after your wedding?"

 A man should behave like a man. Since he has chosen someone, he should treat them well.

If you can't treat others well, you shouldn't have accepted this marriage in the first place. What kind of man do you think you are when you behave like this? "

Li Tao has long disliked Hua Ruiming. Hua Ruiming's words aroused his anger. He straightened his body, glared at Hua Xu and retorted, pounding the table with his hand from time to time.

Gu Huayu turned to look at Li Tao, and saw that his indignant look turned out to be a bit handsome.

Gu Huayu didn't expect that the kid who snatched her things on the street was also an upright man.

Hua Ruiming was a little annoyed by Li Tao's scolding, and said to Li Tao: "What do you know about your little kid?"

"Ha" Li Tao laughed and said, "How much older are you than me? Children in every family understand this, but you, the leader, don't understand. Isn't it a bit unjustifiable? Huh?"

 Those present, please tell me, is this true? Fourth Master Jiang is the most eloquent, so let’s ask Fourth Master Jiang to comment. "

Li Tao said a few words to Hua Hua, then turned to ask the question to Jiang Che.

Jiang Che cleared his throat loudly, and just as he was about to smooth things over, the waiter handed over the dishes.

So he said: "Everyone is hungry, let's eat first."

The wise king followed up and said: "Eat and eat. Siwen, on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, I went with Qingchuan to watch the dragon boat race."

Li Tao leaned forward and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Hua Ruiming sat there with a gray face, drinking tea awkwardly.

 The waiter served the delicious food and left.

 Chengyun stepped forward and filled half a bowl of soup for King Xian.

The wise king motioned for everyone to use their chopsticks, "Come, come, come, we are all hungry, let's eat."

Lu Ziqin raised his hand and Ruxuan came over. "Master, what's the matter?"

Lu Ziqin whispered: "Bring over another pair of chopsticks."

 Ruxuan stepped back and quickly brought the chopsticks over.

Lu Ziqin picked up the chopsticks, put two pieces of beef into Gu Huayu's bowl, and said, "Try it, braised beef, his signature dish."
