After Wei Chen and Gu Tingye talked for a while, Zhu Manniang came into the room with a few dishes of side dishes. After setting the dishes, she picked up a wine pot and poured wine for the two of them.
Zhu Manniang was originally a singing prostitute, and she was very familiar with doing these things. Gu Tingye saw it and didn't care. This was what he had instructed Zhu Manniang to do.
Gu Tingye had always had a plan. Although he loved Zhu Manniang very much and treated her very well, he clearly distinguished between superiority and inferiority and had no intention of making Zhu Manniang his wife. Even though Zhu Manniang gave birth to her daughter Rong Jieer, he still
So true.
For a foreigner like Zhu Manniang who comes from a humble background, it is the right thing for her to come out and drink with her when the host is having a banquet.
Of course, Gu Tingye has a deep affection for Zhu Manniang after all, and he cannot let her show up like a geisha in the past. The reason why he entertained Wei Chen so much today is because he and Wei Chen have a particularly close relationship, which is different from others.<
/p>
However, although Gu Tingye had good intentions, when Wei Chen saw Zhu Manniang's attentiveness to him, he felt uneasy in his heart. He couldn't feel happy at all. There was always a feeling that the woman in front of him would poison his cup.
Feeling.
After reluctantly having a drink with Gu Tingye, Wei Chen lost his appetite and asked with a smile: "Miss Zhu, I heard that Zhong Huai said that you were defrauded of money by your brother and became homeless. This
It's really disgusting to wait for such a heartless bastard! I don't know where he is now. Do you need me to find someone to deal with him and vent his anger on the girl?"
Zhu Manniang didn't expect that Wei Chen would suddenly mention her brother, and she was a little panicked for a moment. The hand holding the wine bottle trembled slightly, and a few drops of crystal wine spilled onto the table.
"Thank you Mr. Wei for your kindness."
Zhu Manniang came back to her senses while wiping the table with her sleeves, and replied casually: "It's just that my unlucky brother died of illness a long time ago, and it was Gu Lang who paid for him to buy the cemetery. The deceased is the most important, and I am now
I don’t blame him anymore.”
"Really?" Wei Chen pretended to be surprised and looked at Gu Tingye: "Why didn't Zhong Huai mention it to me?"
"It is true." Gu Tingye nodded in affirmation, and then said with some confusion: "Xingyun, you are drinking well, why are you bringing up these unlucky things?"
"I just suddenly remembered that Miss Zhu had a pitiful life experience, and I felt a little emotional for a moment. It's me, Meng Lang, who punished me with a drink!"
Wei Chen immediately drank a full glass, then put down the glass, glanced at Gu Tingye angrily and said: "Zhonghuai, speaking of it, you did something wrong. Miss Zhu traveled thousands of miles to find you, and she can't even look at Hong Fu today.
No, how could you let such a strange woman come out and serve wine to outsiders?"
Gu Tingye was a little dumbfounded for a moment, not knowing what kind of medicine Wei Chen was selling in the gourd.
I just didn’t treat you as an outsider, so I let Mannia come out. Do you think that cats and dogs can enjoy such treatment in my place?
It's just that Gu Tingye is a smart man after all, and he also noticed that Wei Chen seemed to be acting a little strange after Zhu Manniang entered the house, so he didn't say anything in front of Zhu Manniang, but just followed Wei Chen's words and asked Zhu Manniang to retreat first.
Next.
Zhu Manniang was naturally obedient to Gu Tingye, and immediately bowed to Wei Chen and Gu Tingye, then turned and exited the room.
Looking at Zhu Manniang's back disappearing outside the house, Gu Tingye could no longer suppress the doubts in his heart and hurriedly asked: "Xingyun, what on earth are you doing? Are you like those secular people who despise Manniang?"
Origin?"
Wei Chen said with a smile: "Zhonghuai, what are you talking about? Haven't I already praised Miss Zhu for being a red cat? She runs at night and is a good story in the world. Isn't this considered disgusting?" p>
Gu Tingye snorted displeasedly: "You are clearly being yin and yang, don't think I can't hear it!"
"Sure enough, Zhong Huai still understands me!"
Wei Chen laughed, patted Gu Tingye on the shoulder and explained: "To be honest, before setting off from Bianjing to Yuzhou, your two brothers and sisters have repeatedly warned me that if I encounter those who claim to be lonely and helpless along the way,
Beautiful women, be careful and don’t be deceived.
I saw Miss Zhu today, and for some reason, this sentence suddenly popped into my head. Of course I understand that Miss Zhu is not such a person, and I must be too worried, but when Miss Zhu is here, I always feel...
She feels uncomfortable, so just now she deliberately found an excuse to ask Zhong Huai to invite her away."
After listening to Wei Chen's explanation, Gu Tingye's face was full of astonishment, and he immediately said dissatisfied: "What do those two girls know about movies? Maybe the people below are talkative and told them some strange stories about scholars meeting fox demons and beauties on the way, so that's why they got it
That said. Fortunately for you, Xingyun, you are well-read and you actually took the nonsense that the two little girls heard from the movie to be true. I simply don’t know what it means!”
"Zhong Huai's words are wrong!"
Wei Chen chuckled and said: "I think women always know better about women's thoughts. I can't keep up with the men I wait for even if they flatter me. Zhong Huai, although you are a first-class romantic figure in Bianjing, you are really good at understanding women.
They may not be able to compare with your two younger siblings."
When Gu Tingye heard this, he couldn't help but frowned and said, "Xingyun, what exactly do you want to say?"
Wei Chen looked back at the door, then leaned forward and lowered his voice and said, "I'm just reminding you as a friend, people's hearts are unpredictable, so be cautious in everything."
After saying that, without waiting for Gu Tingye's reaction, Wei Chen stood up, clasped his fists towards Gu Tingye and said: "Okay, Zhong Huai, I still have official duties, so I won't accompany you to continue drinking this wine. Let's go first."
,Farewell!"
"Leaving now?"
Gu Tingye was still stunned by what Wei Chen said just now. It wasn't until Wei Chen stepped out of the door that he came back to his senses and hurriedly stood up.
"I forgot to tell you that the training envoy of the Zhao regiment will host a banquet at Jixian Restaurant tomorrow and asked me to invite you there. This is the invitation, follow it up!"
After saying that, Gu Tingye took out a beautifully framed letter from his arms, flicked it and pointed at Wei Chen.
Zhao Zongquan?
When Wei Chen heard this, he paused and turned around. The invitation hit him on the waist and fell to the ground immediately.
Wei Chen's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He held his waist with one hand and picked up the invitation from the ground with the other. Then he glared at Gu Tingye who was smiling playfully, then turned around, waved the hand holding the invitation back, and walked on.
Went out.
After watching Wei Chen leave the yard, Gu Tingye sat down at the table again, raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp, then picked up a salted pea and threw it into his mouth.
"I'm just reminding you as a friend, people's hearts are unpredictable, so be cautious in everything."
The words Wei Chen just left echoed repeatedly in Gu Tingye's mind, making Gu Tingye extremely upset.
