The most powerful minister in the world

The next day, the news that Jingxi beat Qiao's young master for the sake of the Qingshui woman spread all over Jiangnan. This was good news. Every time he returned to the temporarily rented yard in West Lake, there was always a girl following him.

Or one early morning when the mist begins and a light rain falls, you suddenly jump out of the alley holding an oil-paper umbrella and have a clumsy encounter.

The yard Jingxi rented was not big and the location was remote, but fortunately there were few people and the scenery was good.

The alley is lined with peach blossoms, and the gray walls are covered with roses. When you walk in, you will be greeted by the pleasant fragrance of the flowers, which will make you intoxicated.

At dawn that day, Jingxi rode his horse and walked leisurely in the alley, humming a ditty. Last night he visited three flower houses, but he refused to go to the famous Haohualou. The flower shopkeepers in these flower houses watched eagerly as the rich man wandered around.

The girl in the building was even more eager to look at him. She couldn't bring herself to pick up the energy after receiving guests all day long. She just sat by the window with her chin in her hands, wondering if Mr. Jing would pass by and look up by chance.

At this time, there were very few girls in the family who were thinking about the money in Jing Xi's pocket. They all thought about this man instead, and wanted to see what kind of demeanor the young master was who was praised by women and cursed by men.

In the thin morning mist, Jing Xi walked to the entrance of the courtyard, got off his horse, and was about to push the door open when he saw an old beggar, in rags and with a dirty face, sitting by the steps and taking a nap.

The more he looked at it, the more familiar it seemed to him. He knelt down and pushed away his hair, which had not been washed in countless years. The beggar even used his hand to push away his hand in annoyance.

"Liu Laizi?"

This Liu Laizhi was the beggar who had just arrived in Jiangnan. After cleaning up the bandits, he went into the inn and hid under the table to steal food. Jingxi also treated him to a big meal that night. Why was he here?

Jingxi's noise woke up Liu Laizi, and he scratched his face, opened his eyes full of goo, exposed his big yellow teeth, and said with a smile, "Brother, are you back?"

Jing Xi was stunned. Does this mean he is waiting for him?

"Liu Laizi, where are your front teeth?"

Liu Laizi's two front teeth are missing, which looks very funny, but it doesn't matter, and it even fits his image better at first glance.

"Hey," Liu Laizi picked his nose and wiped it on his clothes, "When I came here, I went to the fields to steal sweet potatoes to eat. At first, the family thought they had attracted a weasel, but then they saw me and hid it in the biggest sweet potato. I picked up a piece of iron and I was so hungry that I jumped out without paying attention."

Jingxi raised his thumb with a black streak on his head and said, "You have no one. You deserve to be stolen from us. Are you planning to pay me back for the meal?"

"Brother, you really know how to joke. Do I look like I'm rich?"

Jingxi's eyes widened and he said, "You don't want me to raise you, do you?"

"Hey, little brother, if you are so rich, you can take me with you when you visit flower houses all day long."

Jingxi almost stopped laughing, shook his head helplessly, took out a silver coin from his pocket and said, "I'm here to do business, take the silver and go somewhere else."

"Hey~ don't fool me, Old Liu, what's the point of going to Hualou? You don't need a girl to hurt you, why are you so indiscreet?"

"Damn it, are you trying to teach me a lesson? Take the money and get out of here. If it's too late, I won't give it to me!"

Liu Laizi patted the dust on his butt, grabbed the silver, put it to his mouth, took a bite, and said with a smile: "If you don't take advantage of it, you are a bastard. No matter how small a fly is, it is still meat."

If he hadn't seen how weak and skinny he was, Jing Xi would have pressed him to the ground and rubbed him for fear that he would be crippled by one kick.

"Go, go, find another place. Master, I have a female family at home, so don't get in the way here."

"Hey, that girl looks like she's destined to have a baby. It's easy for her to have children."

Jingxi rolled up his sleeves as if he was going to hit him, but Liu Laizi waved his hand, leaned on crutches, and walked away mumbling something.

At this moment, Lian'er heard the movement outside the door and poked her head out from the crack of the door. Her pink and delicate face was rosy and she looked left and right. Jing Xi let out a cry, which scared her so much that she staggered and fell into the courtyard. He held his butt that hurt from the fall and cursed: "You bastard, you bad bastard, it hurts so much! I hate it!"

Jingxi entered the courtyard and stretched out his hand with a smile to pull her up. The girl pouted and got up on her own. She rushed over and beat him. He shouted that it felt good.

Lian'er stomped her feet angrily. The peach blossoms in the courtyard were showing their blossoms, reflecting the beautiful lady. Jingxi took a step forward, held Liu's waist, took a sip, and chirped~

"Oh, the young master smells so much of alcohol, he's dying of alcohol!"

"Huh?" Lan'er grabbed his collar and saw a very eye-catching pink rouge mark on it.

"Master~" Lian'er's almond-shaped eyes narrowed and she hummed.

Jingxi lowered his eyes and saw them, and quickly explained: "I didn't do anything. They were too enthusiastic, and I was eaten away without paying attention."

"Hmph~ Take a notebook and write it down!"

"Second Young Master, Miss Lian'er, the way you two flirt is quite novel."

Lian'er looked over Jingxi's shoulder and muttered, "It's Mr. Gu."

Jingxi turned around and saw Gu Chengxiao standing at the door of the courtyard holding a wine jar and smiling. The sunlight in the sky turned into a beam of light and hit him, making it a scene of its own.

He came back with Jingxi. They had been separated for seven or eight days, and he thought he would not come back again.

"Are you planning to find a place for the Qiao family?"

Gu Chengxiao walked to the stone table under the albizia tree and sat down with the wine jar in his arms. He was not polite at all, as if the yard belonged to him.

"I don't get involved in family affairs. Besides, for the sake of the Qiao family to offend the Jing family, who would be wise enough to do this business?"

"Second Young Master, I dug another jar of wine, want to try it?"

After a stick of incense, there was more breakfast on the table. Jingxi watched Gu Chengxiao eating without stopping and kept praising him, while Lian'er still held the wine bowl and sipped while sipping.

"What on earth are you here for?"

"Ah?" Gu Chengxiao leaned on his knees with one hand and held porridge in the other, "I'm here to visit. Isn't this often done among friends?"

"What's in your arms?" Jing Xi asked, pointing to his chest.

"Oh, look at my brain, these are the tonics I brought." As he said this, Gu Chengxiao took out a large bag of so-called tonics and put them on the table. Lian'er squinted at him and looked at him with unabashed resentment. Young Master.

"Take it away, Master, I don't need it!"

Gu Chengxiao was stunned and said, "This is not for you to eat, but for your friends."

Now Jing Xi was confused. After thinking about it, he suddenly realized that he was talking about Ananda and Chen Xiang'er.

"Are you letting people follow me?"

Seeing Jing Xi's vigilance and murderous look on his face, Gu Chengxiao blinked his eyes and said in a normal way: "The second young master's activities in Jiangnan should not need to be followed, right?"

"Then what does my friend's matter have to do with you?"

"Friends of friends are also friends~"

Jing Xi was about to scold whoever was your friend, but he turned his eyes and picked up the wine glass and said with a smile, "Yes, we are friends, let's have a drink."

As the two glasses touched each other, Lian'er secretly sighed, shook her head, and thought to herself, this Mr. Gu is as handsome as a tree, but why is his brain a little lacking? Why can't you see the big fox in human skin in front of you?

In Lian'er's eyes, Jingxi was now transforming into a fox, with raised eyes and wagging tail, just waiting for the fat meat in front of him to enter his mouth.
