Chapter 44 Another invitation
Gu Xizhi immediately became interested, put down the letter in his hand, and leaned on the back of the carved chair.
"explain."
After watching the chess game, he happily told Gu Xizhi everything he saw and heard today, and he explained it vividly and brilliantly.
Gu Xizhi closed his eyes slightly, as if he was concentrating with his eyes closed, but the corners of his lips gradually rose slightly.
Guan Qi's mouth went dry as he talked, but he still couldn't help but add: "That day I went to Fang Mansion to ask for medicine, and it was this galangal girl who gave me the medicine!
Just saying how generous she was, A thousand taels of silver pills were given to me without blinking an eye. It turns out that she is so wealthy and hides it. "
After saying that, Gu Xizhi didn't say anything, but just raised his hand and rubbed his temples.
Guanqi couldn't help but raise a question in his mind: "You said that the second young master Lu from the Earl's Palace was the fake Lord of Fucheng, but how did he know the content of the letter?"
Gu Xizhi slowly raised his eyelids, his eyes were clear and gleaming under the candlelight.
"That's because the real city lord is right in front of him."
Watching the chess game, he was startled: "Huh? Who is it?"
Gu Xizhi smiled meaningfully: "That's the galangal girl you keep praising."
This time, Guan Qi was even more stunned: "How is that possible? She is just a young girl."
"The city lord was originally a woman."
Gu Xizhi said firmly: "The first time she saw Lu Xingzhan that day, she exposed him for pretending to be the city lord. Because no one in Fucheng knew the true identity of the city lord, so I concluded that the two of them were in cahoots. But I didn't expect that, She is the hidden city lord."
How could a woman with such courage and spirit, who was different from the frog in the well in the inner house, like an eagle soaring in the sky, marry a hypocritical villain like Fang Chengxu, and have sex with other men casually? After all, I am a villain trying to judge a gentleman, right?
Guan Qi still didn't believe it: "Although the content of the letter was indeed told to the prefect by her, how could she have such ability to send the Second Young Master Lu?"
"She seems to have been born in Yuhua Mountain, so this friendship must have been forged from Yuhua Mountain.
The two saints founded Yuhua Mountain. Because of the terrifying big devil, Yuhua Mountain had very strict requirements when accepting disciples. Although Lu Er said he was born in the Earl's Mansion, he was rejected at first.
This galangal must have a good background, and it is not uncommon to have such financial resources at such a young age. What's more, have you forgotten, what kind of strange people are there under the sect of the literary saint of Yuhua Mountain? "
"That's right. Fang Chengxu has hit the wall this time. Even with the General's Mansion as his back, I'm afraid he won't be able to take any advantage from Miss Liang. My invitation today is just too sentimental."
Gu Xizhi glanced at the invitation in his hand indifferently: "You will make another trip tomorrow and deliver this invitation to that good girl in person without letting outsiders know."
Guanqi was puzzled: "Why? I don't think people appreciate our icing on the cake."
Gu Xizhi glanced at him: "Can't I really invite this good girl to meet you?"
"ah?"
"The location is at Zuixiang Tower. Book a first-class cabin in advance."
"ah?"
Guan Qi hasn't reacted yet. This is the first time that his master has taken the initiative to invite a girl. If the old concubine found out, Yue Lao would definitely be forced to kneel down in front of her.
No, no matter how powerful this good girl is, she is still an abandoned woman. How could my own prince like her?
The prince just loves talents.
Gu Xizhi was a little dissatisfied: "Shut up!"
Guan Qi closed his open mouth and responded happily: "I will go to Fucheng early tomorrow morning and promise to personally deliver the invitation to this good girl."
Gu Xizhi neatly folded the letter in his hand and stuffed it into the envelope again.
Watching chess revealed that this letter was clearly sent from Xiliang Border Pass on a three-hundred-mile rush.
Counting the days, Vice General He should have arrived in Xiliang, right?
Fucheng Fangfu.
Old Mrs. Fang fell ill again. Due to fatigue and anxiety, he lay half dead on the bed.
Fang Chengxu fed her Jiuxin Pills. When she saw the Jiuxin Pills, she thought of the thousands of taels of silver and felt so distressed that her head began to hurt.
Fang Chengxu's head also hurt.
What happened yesterday caused the Fang family to lose face and even pay out a large sum of money.
Mrs. Fang didn't get a cent of this money, and Tong Zhaoer was also filled with resentment.
As the current head of the family, he couldn't even get a hundred taels of silver out of his hands. Being caught in the middle is the worst feeling.
After asking for Mrs. Fang, I asked for Tong Zhaoer again. Anyway, if you don't take the money, you will be sued.
The mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law are in a clear mind, but they are just competing with each other, wanting to play a tug-of-war to see who can make concessions first.
In the end, Jiang was still too old, and Mrs. Fang fainted, covering her heart, and simply pretended to be dumbfounded.
Tong Zhaoer could only reluctantly take out the money from the dowry to compensate the guests and settle the matter.
On a wonderful wedding night, with the couple back to back, where can the newlyweds still be as inseparable as each other?
Early the next morning, Tong Zhaoer urged Fang Chengxu when to return to Beijing. The Fang family had both an eyesore and a scheming mother-in-law, and she didn't want to stay any longer.
Fang Chengxu also felt suffocated and depressed, wishing he could escape as soon as possible, but the Fang family had lost everything to marry him, so how could he just leave?
Whether Old Mrs. Fang would follow him to Beijing to enjoy the blessings, or find a place for his mother to stay, this made him very worried.
Seeing that in a few days, he would vacate the house and hand over Fangzhai to another owner.
Reluctance and anger made him restless.
The entire Fangzhai was filled with smoke and smoke, except for the sound of laughter and laughter in the Bamboo Garden.
Today, Yu Ma was ordered to buy wine and food from Zuixianglou. As soon as she got off the carriage with a food box, a person suddenly appeared from the side.
"Mom Yu, we meet again."
Yu Ma looked at the person coming up and down in surprise, and finally remembered: "Brother, it turns out to be you. How is your old lady's health now?"
The visitor is here to watch chess.
Guanqi cupped his hands at Yu Ma: "Thanks to your wife, my old lady has recovered well after taking the medicine. And with my wife's advice, I have now bought Jiuxin Pills at Renhetang."
"That's good," Yu Ma said happily: "What are you..."
Guan Qi took out the invitation and handed it to Yu's mother with both hands: "My master specially asked me to come here to ask Miss Liang to show her favor. We will go to Zuixiang Tower tomorrow to talk about it."
Yu Ma hesitated and did not answer: "Excuse me, who is..."
"Good girl will know it when she sees this invitation."
Yu Ma didn't dare to make her own decision: "Brother, please wait here for a moment. I need to go in and ask my girl for instructions to see if she is free tomorrow."
He took the invitation from Guanqi and went in. When he saw Liang Jiang, he told him what happened just now.
Liang Jiang took the invitation in his hand and opened it. He glanced at the signature at the end and was stunned.
"You said the person who sent the invitation was the guy who came to the house to ask for medicine that day?"
Yu Ma nodded: "It is indeed him. It should be his master who specially invited you to the banquet and thanked you in person."
Liang Jiang was very surprised: "Do you know who his master is?"
Yu Ma shook her head: "He refused to say it clearly, saying that you must know, Miss."
Liang Jiang nodded and slowly stuck out his lips: "Gu Xizhi, King of Pingxi."
