Seeing the two of them drifting away, the eldest lady and the young lady were also confused. They didn't know what was going on and wanted to hide it from them. However, after the eldest lady looked at Shuang'er who was looking a little restrained on the side, her eyes flashed.
Liang, said to her with a smile.
"Miss Shuang'er, right? Come and sit here. Don't stand. There are two other children, please sit down together."
The little lady looked at her enthusiastic face and pulled Shuang'er to sit down next to her. A trace of envy flashed in her eyes, and she touched her belly angrily. Why was she so unlucky? She didn't even have an heir. She only had envy.
share.
She wanted to build a good relationship with Shuang'er so that she could introduce her to her grandson in the future. She knew this without even looking.
Over there, Gu Zheng and Xu Jing came to a quiet side hall. He thought he would sit down in the only seat, but unexpectedly, Xu Jing walked up to an unknown skull coin, and he knew it was placed there.
The kind that serves as wall decoration.
But he pressed on one of the small bones and pushed in. With a slight vibration, a secret door appeared on the wall. Unexpectedly, there was a secret room hidden here.
Xu Jing winked at Gu Zheng, motioning for him to follow, and then walked in.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng also followed him in.
Just as he walked in, Xu Jing pressed a switch inside, and the door behind him closed silently to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.
No wonder Xu Jing was so cautious, because when he saw the other party hiding his identity and coming here, he definitely didn't want others to know his true identity.
Although the secret room is small, it is fully equipped with tables, chairs, beds, and even a bookcase next to it. Moreover, the air is not dull, and it seems that the ventilation effect is good.
"Master Gu, I didn't expect that you actually have the token of your ancestors. I really offended you just now." Here, Xu Jing said respectfully, as if Gu Zheng was the person he looked up to.
"It doesn't matter. Besides, I came here to rely on you for some things, so why bother me?" Gu Zheng also came to sit down at the table beside him and said casually.
"Young Master Gu is so generous. I wonder what's going on with Master Gu's visit this time?" Xu Jing asked from the side.
From the messages written by his ancestors, he knew that the person holding this token was a real immortal whose power was beyond their imagination. However, his ancestors had already passed away and went to bed, so the simple magic method was left to them.
They descendants, be careful they annoy each other.
It was also mentioned later that this immortal has a very good heart. If he is lucky enough to find Fengcheng and comes here to ask for help, then he can turn to him for help with some big things when the opportunity is ripe.
This hidden scene can only be seen by direct blood relatives. If Xu Jing hadn't seen the hidden information, he would have missed it.
"I have nothing else to do when I come here this time. I just come to look for someone, but my apprentice and sister need a stable place, so I just want to disturb you. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to." Gu Zheng said with a slight smile.
.
"Master Gu, it is our honor for you to come to our place. Of course I am very willing, but I just want you to be my descendants." Xu Jing said quickly. At this time, there is actually an immortal who takes the initiative to live in his home. Once
If something happens, won't the other party not take action? Then you can rest assured.
"This false reputation is nothing, as long as it gives us the convenience of coming in and out at any time. If there is anything, you can tell me." Gu Zheng said with a smile.
Gu Zheng was unwilling to let the other party get involved and wanted to investigate some things quietly by himself. If necessary, he would of course use his identity to act.
"No problem. Needless to say, I will handle this little thing for you." Xu Jing said immediately, as if Gu Zheng could satisfy the other party as long as he handles everything.
At that moment, after Xu Jing asked the other party some taboos, the two of them walked out quickly. At this time, only a stick of incense had passed.
At this time, Shuang'er over there was blushing with embarrassment. This eldest lady had always wanted to introduce her little son to him and kept praising him. The meaning was too obvious.
Seeing Gu Zheng and the others coming back, the eldest lady shut her mouth and let Shuang'er breathe a sigh of relief. She still didn't know how to refuse the other party.
Back in the living room, Xu Jing directly arranged for the eldest lady. They had rights that were almost equal to that of his own son. It was incredible to them. They didn't know what was discussed in it, but they actually gave each other such great rights.
.
It was just her master's order, so the eldest lady had no choice but to nod and agree. Since Gu Zheng was definitely a relative, in fact they were all members of the same family, so there was no big difference.
It's just that some of the ladies' children are also at home, but they are really treated as ordinary guests. At least they have to report something, but they don't have to report to Gu Zheng. They can walk in at any time except for some special places.
Of course, Xu Jing's explanation to them was that in their ancestral home, they were very kind to their elders, and since they came here, he would definitely entertain them well.
The eldest lady quickly let Xu Wei who was waiting outside come in and told them to free up one of the courtyards so that the four of them could live alone.
Xu Wei was really surprised this time, but it didn't matter. Those disciples didn't dare to stab him anyway, so they nodded and said yes, and immediately went to give the order.
They were not kept waiting for too long. While Gu Zheng was still chatting casually, Xu Wei walked in again.
"Master, everything is ready."
"Okay, Nephew Gu Xian, you should rest first. I will introduce you to all the young people here in two days." Xu Jing said directly after hearing this. This was what Gu Zheng had talked about in the secret room before.
The person you are looking for has a relatively high status. Let yourself get to know more people and see if they have any clues, which can save you a lot of effort.
"Master Gu, Miss Shuang'er, please." Xu Wei's attitude was more respectful this time, and he was directly promoted from young master to young master. It seemed that he had not calculated what he had guessed before. While leading the way, he praised Xu Mansion's achievements to Gu Zheng and others.
everything.
Soon, the three people turned several paths in the courtyard and arrived outside a private courtyard. There were already several maids inside, who were the servants assigned to them by the master.
"Just evacuate these people, I don't need them." Gu Zheng frowned and said to Xu Wei.
"No problem, if you need anything, you can always give me orders." Xu Wei directly shouted and called the maids out, and before leaving, he said to Gu Zheng.
"Master Gu, you haven't finished your meal yet. I've asked the kitchen to cook it for you. I'll bring it to you in a moment."
At this time, next to the courtyard, a dozen men and women were looking at this place curiously. However, the sky was dark, and they could only distinguish two adults, a man, a woman, and two children, but each of them looked unhappy.
No one will be happy if they live well and are kicked out just to make room for others.
However, they didn't have the courage to resist. The Xu family leader meant absolute authority here, and no one dared to object. But they just wanted to send two people to see who the other party was, but the other party walked in directly and closed the courtyard.
Door.
The two people walking halfway looked ugly, but the other party was able to drive them out, and his status was obviously higher than them.
"Who are those people? How rude?"
"Yes, I don't know why the owner of the house allows them to live here. You must know that only your own people can live here."
Those people complained one after another, but they quickly went back to their new residences. Although it was good, it was obviously not as good as that place.
Gu Zheng stood in the yard, ignoring the people outside. The environment here was elegant, exquisite, and exceptionally clean. There was even a small pool on one side with some fish and shrimps in it, which was very Chen Gu Zheng's liking.
He didn't expect there to be such a scene in a busy city, so Xu Wei chose a good place for him.
Gu Zheng knew that even in the Xu family, there were few places so quiet.
The whole yard is very large, and in theory, twenty people can live here without any problem. Although there are vague signs of some people living inside, it is obvious that no one has lived in the several rooms next to the main house.
Moreover, all the beddings inside have been replaced with new ones, and the layout of the room is worthy of the courtyard. It is much higher than the neighboring rooms.
It seems that even those people only live here where the servants live, and they don't dare to live here.
Gu Zheng felt even more satisfied with this. At least from the first day, the Xu family had left such a good impression on him.
It seemed that Xu Wei had arranged the kitchen a long time ago. Gu Zheng and the others had just finished looking at their respective rooms when a knock on the door soon came, along with an alluring fragrance wafting in the wind.
Ah Shai ran to open the door without any instructions. Several maids came in one after another carrying lunch boxes and took out a bunch of exquisite side dishes on a stone table in the courtyard.
After a delicious meal, Ah Shai and Xiao Lan covered their bellies and hummed again. Although the food they had eaten along the way was not bad, it was not at the same level as the chef of the Xu family, so the two of them were full again.
.
In the blink of an eye, the night passed.
To Gu Zheng's surprise, someone informed them early in the morning that at noon, the head of the Xu family was going to introduce some of their own people to Gu Zheng in the banquet hall. Gu Zheng understood the other party's thoughts and agreed immediately.
Before noon, Gu Zheng and the four of them had already set off, but they didn't expect that Xu Wei was standing guard at their door, as if waiting for them.
"Master Gu, I have been given full authority to take charge of everything for you." Xu Wei saw Gu Zheng's confusion and immediately explained.
By the time Gu Zheng and the others arrived, many boys and girls were already sitting on the huge long table in the banquet hall, and the top was completely empty. It seemed that the Xu family head and his party had not arrived yet.
Seeing Gu Zheng come in, these people who had already received the news looked over curiously.
Compared with yesterday's blur, this one is even more stunning when you look closer. Especially the boys sitting here are all focused on Shuang'er, while the girls are just the opposite, all focused on Gu.
Fight for yourself.
The woman was full of aura, especially her big spiritual eyes, which made everyone's hearts flutter when they looked at her. The man also had a mysterious aura. Everyone was filled with indignation and wanted to give them a blow, but they disappeared at this time.
"Miss Shuang'er, I didn't expect you to be so beautiful. Come and sit here. There is an empty seat at my side of Zhenghai." The well-informed person immediately stood up and shouted, breaking the calm.
Those girls' attention also shifted from Gu Zheng to Shuang'er, and a trace of envy flashed in their eyes. In comparison, they really turned into ugly ducklings.
"Miss Shuang'er, come here, my place is much cleaner." Another voice suddenly sounded, inviting Miss Shuang'er.
They all knew that several new relatives from the Xu family arrived yesterday, and when they moved here, they overbearingly occupied many people's residences, which made everyone a little unhappy.
Because they are directly or indirectly related to the Xu family, and there are some people who defected here, but at least they are also relatives of Mrs. So-and-so.
Although the other party is also a relative of the Xu family, they are only of the same blood, and they don't know where it went. They had already discussed everything, but when they saw each other, the united camp was instantly broken.
No one wanted to provoke the other party at this time, so with Shuang'er's unique appearance, he completely conquered them, and those people instantly became jealous.
But when everyone saw each other like this, they all understood what the other person meant.
"Brother, come here and do it." Suddenly a young man who was near stood up and shouted loudly. When everyone invited Shuang'er, he was inviting Gu Zheng, because according to the news, that young man was Miss Shuang'er.
Brother, are these fools gone?
"There happen to be a few seats here for you to sit together." The young man said with a smile.
Gu Zheng looked up and saw that it was indeed the case. There were already people sitting near here, and it was impossible for the four of them to sit down at the same time.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng walked directly there, and Shuang'er naturally followed him.
Those who saw this scene suddenly remembered that Miss Shuang'er must listen to her brother, which made them really beat their chests. Why didn't they think of this?
However, they thought that the other party would be aggressive as soon as they came here, so no one asked Gu Zheng. Only a few people nodded lightly towards Gu Zheng to express their goodwill.
Seeing Gu Zheng and the others coming here, the man felt happy, but he did not rush to say hello to Miss Shuang'er. Instead, he smiled lightly at Gu Zheng to express his welcome.
"Thank you." Gu Zheng said casually and did it next to him.
"It's okay, brother." The young man said with a smile, "My name is Xu Fei, it's our first time meeting you. Please take care of me."
This gesture actually made Shuang'er next to him chuckle. How could he talk like this the first time they met and let others take care of him?
Xu Fei's eyes were stunned at this moment, and he almost stared out of his eyes. Shuang'er's face turned red and she turned her head away from looking at him.
"Mr. Xu, it seems I don't need to introduce myself, everyone seems to know us." Gu Zheng seemed not to notice, and he chuckled.
"There's something going on." Seeing Shuang'er turning his head, Xu Fei thought that his behavior just now would anger Gu Zheng next to him, but he didn't expect that the other person didn't seem angry at all.
"Of course, your high-profile behavior yesterday has been spread throughout the morning." Xu Fei cheered up and spoke carefully, especially those who were driven away, and even told everyone about Gu Zheng and their domineering behavior.
.
Only then did Gu Zheng realize why he felt a little resentful even before he came in.
As for why he came here, it was also because the other party happened to have some aura of Zhao Man left on him. Although it was very faint, at least the other party had been in contact with Zhao Man, and not just once or twice.
In fact, he didn't need to tell Gu Zheng that he would come here and sit down.
Before Gu Zheng could say anything, a few scattered footsteps sounded outside again, and the head of the Xu family came in with a group of people.
He had a smile on his face and seemed to be in a good mood.
Behind him were several women whom he had never seen before at work, who seemed to be his other wives.
There were two butler-looking people following behind.
By the time everyone sat down on the main seat one by one, most of the people had already arrived.
At this time, with the arrival of Xu Jing and others, plates of delicious food were served, but no one touched their mouths.
"Nephew Gu Xian, it seems you have been here a long time ago. I have something to do over there, so I came late." Xu Jing said enthusiastically.
Seeing Xu Jing being so kind to Gu Zheng and feeling no different from his own son, the man who complained about Gu Zheng felt a little dissatisfied and quickly stood up and said.
"Grandpa, are we here just for this person? You know, I still have a lot of things to do over there."
Xu Jing heard the grandson's dissatisfaction, and his smiling face immediately darkened, he glared at him and said in a deep voice.
"Do you have any identity here? What do you call this person? This person is the nephew of ancient Zhengzong. His ancestors have made great contributions to our Xu family. How could you say so rudely? Don't do your work anymore. Let's hand it over.
Regarding your matter, please go back to the housekeeper and send someone." Xu Jing turned to the side and said.
"Yes, sir." The middle-aged butler immediately dressed up and bowed slightly and said.
"Grandpa, I" the man's face turned pale and he wanted to say something, but when he was glared at by Xu Jingna, he sat down in despair. It was obvious that he had become the first person.
There was a commotion in the banquet hall, and a woman dressed in rich clothes below wrinkled her face and said dissatisfiedly.
"Master, Hua'er didn't mean it. Even if you say it, why should you be so mean to him? He is your grandson."
"Needless to say, I will never change the decision I made." Xu Jing waved his hand to stop the other party's next Hua Yun move.
Xu Jing's words immediately made everyone focus on Gu Zheng and the others again. They didn't expect that the other party had such a heavy weight in Xu Jing's eyes. His grandson was dismissed from his post just for questioning.
However, in this case, everyone who had no favorable impression of Gu Zheng themselves would not have a favorable impression, but after seeing Miss Shuang'er next to them, they all secretly said that Miss Shuang'er could not be included in this, because after all, she had done nothing.
Of course, at this time, they would no longer deliberately find things to fight against Gu. It was clear that Xu Jing was protecting him, and no one would make trouble for themselves.
Even his beloved grandson ended up like this. They didn't want to lose his favor, so they all fell silent and watched what Xu Jing would do next.
