Chapter 339: National Beauty and Heavenly Fragrance
"hehe."
Chen Xi smiled coldly, "You have seen Fengya, but I have seen the changes."
He walked to the window and looked at the scenery on the Qinhuai River.
It was February, everything was recovering, the river waves were turning green, and the spring breeze also brought a touch of warmth, but Chen Xi's heart could not warm up. "Have you ever thought about how terrifying it would be if Lu Bai helped."
He turned back and looked at everyone, "There is already a Lu family that is domineering over the aristocratic family. If there is another Gu family, I am afraid that there will not be a few major aristocratic families in the future. This Southern Dynasty will become a wrestling ground between the Gu family and the Lu family.
."
When the time comes, other aristocratic families will either join or step aside.
"Especially now that the Gu family is still a relative, once they gain power -" Chen Xi snorted coldly.
The Lu family, their arrogance and arrogance are already very annoying, if the Gu family is also——
Everyone frowned in thought, and no one spoke for a long time.
While Du Xiaoxiao plucked the strings lightly, letting the music flow slowly in the warm pavilion, he turned his head and let his eyes pass through the window, through the wind chimes under the eaves, and onto the street not far away, to the door of the wine house.
forward.
For her, she was most curious about Miss Gu Si.
Miss Gu Si is different from them.
No matter how famous they are, they are just playthings after all, but Miss Gu Si is someone who can look up to those who play with them.
To this day, there is still a legend circulating in the capital that Miss Gu Si gave some advice and helped the candidate win the championship in one fell swoop. Miss Gu Si’s excellent work at the poetry competition is also circulated. Although it will not become a famous piece that will be passed down through the ages, it has also attracted many people.
People rushed to praise it.
Du Xiaozhen thought that if she had some talent like Miss Gu Si, her status would be much higher now, and it would not be impossible for her to even enter the Qin Tower of the practicing sect.
Then, she shook her head with a wry smile, how could she have the talent of Miss Gu Si?
After all, Miss Gu Si grew up in an aristocratic family and received a different kind of education. Unlike her, in addition to learning to play the piano, she also learned how to serve men and seduce men, so that now her piano music has become more and more popular.
"yes."
After being quiet for a while, someone finally spoke up.
Shen Yan nodded in agreement.
Once Lu Bai sided with the Gu family, the Gu family became even more powerful, enough to challenge the Lu family - in fact, Lu Bai had already challenged the Lu family, and didn't the Lu family do anything to him?
As for the Lu family's Sword Immortal, it is a powerful weapon and cannot be used easily.
For a moment, all the young masters frowned, until Mo Wenquan said: "Lu Bai no longer gives Jianzhai face in Ankang City, and he will rarely give face to other sects in the future. Alas, this move can drive away wolves and tigers.
, I don’t know if it’s a blessing or a curse.”
Lin Shengwen took the opportunity to say: "That's why the rest of us need to unite more, so that we can not lose our speaking position in front of the Lu and Gu families."
Chen Xi chuckled, "This is too passive. I think we need to take the initiative."
"What do you mean?" Everyone looked at him, even Mo Wenquan was looking at him.
Chen Xi gave it a try. He recruited Du Xiaoxiao and asked Du Xiaoxiao to play a more passionate song so that his next words could be inspiring, "The day before yesterday, I met Yuan Ziheng from Dongshe in Meilou.
.”
"Yuan Ziheng?" Mo Wenquan frowned.
Almost all the families of the children of Dongshe belong to Jinyiwei and people from Nei Shutang, and these people have almost no interaction with them in Chunshe.
Chen Xi nodded, "Yes, Yuan Ziheng, he stopped me at that time and revealed a piece of news to me."
"What news?" everyone asked.
Chen Xi took a sip of wine and smiled lightly: "Someone in the palace wants to check Liu Yan and find out whether what he said is true."
Mo Wenquan immediately frowned.
They had discussed Liu Yan's case before.
This man appeared almost out of thin air, and then spread the word in the capital that the emperor was born to his daughter Liu Cuilian, who was later taken away by the Queen Mother. He said that he was the emperor's biological grandfather.
This incident caused uproar in the city, and later the emperor asked people from Dongchang and Xichang to arrest Liu Yan.
Then, the matter went nowhere.
"People in the palace want to investigate this case? Who!" Mo Wenquan asked.
Chen Xi shook his head, "I don't know, but don't you think this is a good opportunity?"
This case will definitely end in vain, and the truth will never be revealed to the world. But since the emperor has detained Liu Yan without trial or judgment, it can almost be concluded that there is something fishy involved.
This shows that this is groundless.
"Didn't you say a few days ago that the relationship between the Emperor and the Queen Mother is a bit delicate because of this matter?" Chen Xi smiled slightly, "If the people below are encouraged to investigate and completely make the delicate relationship even more subtle, wouldn't that be true?
Isn’t it a powerful counterattack against the Gu family?”
The emperor is the center of secular power. If the Gu family is not so closely connected with the emperor, it will seriously weaken the Gu family.
The gentlemen nodded, "That's true, but -" Lin Shengwen smiled bitterly, "We in Chunshe are all elegant young gentlemen, so we can't be of much help with this issue, right?"
Chen Xi doesn't think so, "We can't help much, but we can go back and make suggestions to our father, right?"
He paused, "As for whether it succeeds or not, that is a matter for the adults."
Shen Yan nodded, "I think it's okay."
He thought this was a suggestion, "Even if we don't think it through, why don't the adults still think about it?"
The young ladies were convinced by what he said. Just as they were about to speak, another set of footsteps sounded outside the door, "Hey, Mr. Gu, our lady has a guest. Mr. Gu -"
After all, the maid didn't stop her, and led a few young men from Xia She in Gu Ming's name and barged in.
"Brother Mo, Brother Chen, I knew you were here." Gu Ming shook the fan in his hand and said with a smile to fan the wind.
Mo Wenquan stood up and said hello with a smile.
Although they were still trying to keep the Gu family from being too proud just now, they all smiled and greeted each other now.
Du Xiaoxiao also hurriedly put back her clothes and stood up, saluting Gu Ming. At the same time, she walked over, took the gown from Gu Ming's hand, and hung it aside for him.
Du Xiaoxiao was as familiar with Mr. Gu as Mo Wenquan.
She also became closer to Mr. Gu.
This Mr. Gu is handsome, handsome, and a very handsome man. I heard that he looks a bit like his aunt, Miss Gu Si.
Since ancient times, men have liked beautiful women, and it is natural for beautiful women to like beautiful men.
"Young Master, what brought you to the Qinjia River Room?" Mo Wenquan asked.
As the name suggests, the Xiashe House is located in Gujiahe House, which is quite large and spacious. He usually invites Miss Du there, and rarely comes by himself.
Just as Gu Ming was about to say something, Chen Xi interrupted him, "Hey, let me guess, is it a aunty feeling?"
As the name suggests, he flapped his fan and smiled, saying nothing.
Lin Shengwen was puzzled, "Young Master, if you want to see Miss Gu Si, you can just go home. Doesn't it mean that Miss Gu Si won't visit your father when she arrives in the capital?"
As the name suggests, he smiled bitterly.
"My aunt already stated that she wanted to sever ties with the Gu family when she was in Yancheng, let alone visit my father." He sighed long and leisurely, "It's already good that my aunt doesn't resent the Gu family."
Mo Wenquan looked at each other when he heard this.
This is good news. At least Lu Bai and the Gu family are not the same, but they will not give up on the things they just agreed upon. After all, the broken bones are still connected, and the Gu family and Lu Bai are related after all.
After a while, the young masters from Chunshe and Xiashe came in again.
The Qinjia River Room was full of people for a while. Although none of these young masters came here for Du Xiaoxiao, Du Xiaoxiao's mother was very happy. The more young masters come here, the more famous the young master will become, and sooner or later he will surpass Hueyin.
The little fairy on the floor.
Not only the number of people in Qinjia's river house has increased, but the business of other river houses is also very good.
Nowadays, every tea shop, tavern and brothel where a wine house is visible is now full of people.
Miss Gu Si was famous all over the capital when she was young. There were legends about her everywhere, and many people wanted to admire her style.
Everyone chatted.
After a while, someone shouted, "Miss Gu Si is back!"
Immediately, everyone gathered near the window.
Du Xiaoxiao also wanted to take a look, but these young men blocked the window tightly, and she could not see anything after passing her eyes through the gap.
People in the tea shops and pubs on the street also pricked up their ears.
They saw a royal carriage turning the corner and walking slowly down the street. The curtains of the carriage covered the people inside so that they could not see anything clearly.
When they arrived in front of the wine house, the carriage stopped.
The servant in the wine shop heard the news and moved a stool over.
The curtain was opened, and everyone was full of expectations.
The first one to step out was Lu Bai's puppet. She got off the carriage blankly and stood beside the carriage, looking around warily. The next person to get off was Yun Niang.
"Hey, is this girl Miss Gu Si?" Everyone in the room asked, mainly people who were traveling with Gu Ming. They had been here for a short time and had never seen Yun Niang.
"It's a little different from what I expected," another person said.
Chen Xi suddenly thought of something. He turned back to look at Mo Wenquan, "I didn't see Miss Gu Si on the pier just now. Could it be that Miss Gu Si had quietly entered the capital before?"
This is not impossible.
This woman who just came out, whom they had met before, might be Miss Gu Si.
Although her appearance is a little different, but thinking about her calm command a few days ago, her taste in life, etc., it all indicates that this girl is most likely Miss Gu Si.
Mo Wenquan even hoped that she was, for no other reason than that he had fallen in love with this girl.
It's not that he is arrogant. As a disciple of the Mo family, he feels that the woman who can make him fall in love must be extraordinary.
But there is a problem——
Mo Wenquan shook his head, "Too young."
In terms of seniority, Miss Gu Si is his aunt, and she has been famous for a long time. She has been away from the capital for more than ten years. Even if she takes good care of herself, she should not be this age now.
"Yes." Chen Xi nodded.
This is too young, and a bit too young. Miss Gu Si is not a practitioner, so she shouldn't be so young.
Just when everyone was in shock and doubt, they saw Wen Yingyuan get out of the car, opened the curtain, said something inside, then opened the curtain and waited for the people inside to come out.
"Is there anyone else inside?"
While everyone was stunned, a young woman walked out of the car holding a book in her hand.
I saw that this woman was no more than twenty years old, with skin as good as snow, unparalleled beauty, stunning appearance, but with an intellectual charm. She had long hair shawl, and was dressed in white. Her hair was simply tied with a gold belt, and she was dressed like a fairy.
, can't be looked at.
She frowned slightly, as if she was thinking about something, and even more charming.
Gu Qinghuan got off the carriage with the support of Yun Niang, looked up at the wine house, nodded with satisfaction, and asked the servant next to him, "Where is Lu Bai?"
The servant replied: "Your Excellency is in the study."
Gu Qinghuan nodded and handed the scroll in his hand to the puppet girl. Under the leadership of Yun Niang, he returned home and walked to the study.
Squeak!
The door of the wine shop was closed, and the streets were silent.
After a long time, someone came back to his senses and said, "The aunt just now - is Miss Gu Fourth?"
Mo Wenquan was stunned.
Chen Xi didn't know what to say.
This man looks like he just walked out of a painting. He is so beautiful that even the most beautiful things in the world can be used to describe his beauty.
"So beautiful." Shen Yan murmured to himself.
"This must be Miss Gu Si!" Lin Shengwen said firmly. There is no one in the world who looks more in line with the legendary Miss Gu Si.
Miss Gu Si was so beautiful back then that she was so beautiful.
"But--"
Chen Xi felt that if this was Miss Gu Si, it would not be that she was too young, but that she was too young.
"My lord, your aunt has entered spiritual practice?" Chen Xi asked thoughtfully.
It's not impossible. With Lu Bai, the number one genius today, by her side, it's not impossible to bring Lu Qinghuan into the door of cultivation.
Gu Ming shook his head, "I didn't listen to what my uncle said."
The Lord Gu of Stone City is his uncle.
"Then there is another possibility -" Mo Wenquan thought of something, "This is not Miss Gu Si -"
"What a joke!"
"Who else could this be if she wasn't Miss Gu Si?"
"I think it's Miss Gu Si. Didn't you see that the woman's eyebrows look a bit like a famous young man?"
The gentlemen started discussing.
Chen Xi stopped them and signaled them to be quiet, "Listen to me! This girl is obviously young. She cannot be Miss Gu Si. I think she is Miss Gu Si's daughter."
Everyone was right.
This girl is quite young. She is probably not Miss Gu Si, but the daughter of Miss Gu Si. It makes sense that she is so beautiful and her eyebrows are similar to her name.
that is--
"Isn't this a bit premature?" Gu Ming asked.
He knew that Mo Wang'er should be around fourteen or five years old. The girl he saw just now was obviously not that immature.
"Hey, I heard that they grew up in a poor country and had to worry about food and drink since they were young, so it is possible for them to grow into adults." Chen Xi felt that he had found the most suitable answer.
When everyone heard it, they thought it was very reasonable.
"In this case, isn't this girl your sister, Mr. Mo?" someone said.
Immediately, everyone looked at the two people differently.
They all saw the girl's appearance just now, and they wished they could call them uncle now.
It's just that Mo Wenquan and Gu Ming were embarrassed.
Lu Qinghuan didn't want to join the Gu family at all, and he didn't pay attention to the Mo family. When he returned this time, he looked like he didn't belong to any family power.
As for their two families——
The Gu family only wanted to let Gu Qinghuan return to the Gu family.
The Mo family just wants Mo Wanger to recognize his ancestor and return to the clan.
As for wooing Lu Bai, seeing how Lu Bai offended Yiqiu Villa and Jianzhai all the way, there might be some trouble in the future, so it was good to maintain the current relationship, and no one had any intention of going further.
