The most powerful minister in the world

The man was wearing a white brocade dress with flowers in the photo, and a unicorn-colored auspicious cloud pattern horn belt tied around his waist. His cloud-like hair was tied up by a jade crown, and he had a pair of bright phoenix eyes. He was really elegant and handsome. .

I saw him walking with his hands behind his back, lifting up his skirt and robe, walked into the store calmly, and kicked Hu Boyu in the back of the butt who was giving instructions. Hu Boyu staggered a few steps and dived forward.

After he regained his footing, he turned around and was about to curse, but he suddenly clamped his mouth. His face was livid, and he seemed to be in a panic. He bent down slightly and said hello politely: "Mr. Gu."

This young man, known as Mr. Gu, looks older than Jingxi, but he has an indescribable sense of maturity, not in appearance, but in his heart and between his eyebrows.

It's like everything has reached a peak, and you can see the unique temperament of all living beings blended together with the freedom and enlightenment.

At this time, Mr. Gu was carrying a pot of osmanthus wine with his hands behind his back. He didn't even pay attention to him. Instead, he walked straight towards Jingxi who was surrounded by the boys. When the boys saw him approaching, they all stepped aside in fear and lowered their heads.

Jingxi was surprised. Who was this man? He could make the son of the biggest official here bow his head. Could it be that he was also a person of considerable status?

Seeing that he was dressed a little plainly, except for the hairpin on the jade crown, which seemed to be worth a few dollars, at a second glance, he still had nothing.

Before Jing Xi could make any further guesses, Mr. Gu bowed before him and said, "Greetings to Mr. Jing, I'm Gu Chengxiao of Lin'an Mansion."

Jingxi smiled and touched the jade ring and said, "What a good name."

"May I ask Mr. Jing, what's so good about it?"

Surrounded by layers of beautiful Suzhou embroidered silk and satin, Jingxi turned his amber eyes and looked at the mysterious man who suddenly came to the rescue. He raised the corners of his mouth and said, "With the blessing of God, it is so good to be in the sky forever."

Gu Chengxiao clapped his hands and laughed non-stop, swayed the wine in his hand and invited: "Can Mr. Jing be invited to have a drink at the edge of Taihu Lake?"

"We know each other?"

"I know you, but you may not know me," he said, mentioning the osmanthus wine again, "but it was just dug out of the cellar for a few years. Are you sure you don't want to have a drink?"

Jingxi raised his head and shouted, "Lian'er, have you chosen your clothes?"

"Oh~ The curtain is so dazzling, sir, would you like to take a look at this?"

Lian'er ran over with her skirt in hand and looked at Jingxi expectantly. She saw him tapping his chin with a folding fan. His green sleeves were like lotus leaves in the water, and his thin gauze clothes only made him more delicate.

"Hmm~ This is how she looks like the best maid in the world~"

"Hmph~ Young Master forced me to come here. This is the first time Lian'er has worn such nice clothes. I couldn't even bear to wear the ones Sister Mei gave me."

As Liang'er was talking, she saw a man holding a wine jar standing next to Jingxi looking at her with a strange expression. She put her hands on her hips and said, "This young man is so rude. He stares at the girl like this. What a shame." What, so shy."

Lian'er made faces at Gu Chengxiao, and she didn't stop until Jingxi patted her little head. Gu Chengxiao also scratched his face in embarrassment.

"Let's go. There are bedbugs here and the air is smoky. I find you quite pleasing to the eye. Let's go pick a place by the Taihu Lake and have a few drinks with you."

Gu Chengxiao made a gesture of invitation to get out of the way. Jingxi hugged Laner's waist and walked out. When he passed by Hu Baiyu, Jingxi stopped and smiled at him: "If you want to trouble me, you'd better do it." Come on, I’m leaving the day after tomorrow, I don’t have time to play with you, so hurry up.”

Hu Boyu gritted his teeth and stared, Gu Chengxiao smiled and said: "Mr. Jing, do you want him to kowtow to you?"

Jing Xi was stunned and asked, "If you can still play like this, then let him knock a few more times."

Gu Chengxiao faced Hu Boyu without saying a word. Hu Boyu frowned and sweat broke out on his temples. He was bending slightly. Just when he was about to kneel down, Jing Xi suddenly said: "It's boring. It's not fun to hold soft persimmons." , enjoy the last good time of your life, and next time you see me, you will kneel in front of me willingly."

With that said, he and Gu Chengxiao walked out of the store and walked towards Taihu Lake.

Hu Boyu wiped the sweat from his forehead, glanced at Cuicui hiding behind the door, gritted his teeth and said, "She rewarded you!"

After hearing this, several servants looked lustful and eager to express their thanks, dragging the Cuicui girl with trembling branches and rainy pear blossoms into the sparsely populated alley.

Shopkeeper Wang breathed a long sigh of relief, picked up the tea that had just been served and drank it down in one gulp. He muttered: "Oh my God, what's wrong with this one? This one has a better background than the other one. The Gu family of Lin'an Prefecture is all jumping up and down." Come out, alas~ It seems things are not going well in Jiangnan."

A waterside pavilion on the bank of Taihu Lake is full of maple vines, and the hanging twigs are like natural bead curtains, creating a unique flavor of its own.

Li Dongyang sat on the railing, overlooking the lake, as if he was meditating. Lian'er sat on the stone bench next to Jingxi, listening to the sound of the waves lapping on the shore, not caring at all about the sudden appearance of Mr. Gu.

Jingxi looked at Gu Chengxiao who was stroking around and didn't know what he was going to do. When he was sure that there were not many people around, he suddenly rolled up his sleeves and cursed for no reason: "Pretending is so damn tiring, come on, this I have been hiding the sweet-scented osmanthus wine for seven or eight years, but I have never been willing to part with it, so you have to try it."

As he spoke, he uncorked the wine, stood up, and poured wine for Jingxi with one foot on the stone bench. He sipped the wine that flowed onto his fingers without hesitation.

Jingxi looked at the scene in front of him and immediately froze on the spot, his dull eyes blinking non-stop. Lian'er muttered to the side: "Master, this person can't be a lunatic, why is it that he suddenly looks like a different person?" ?”

"Ahem, I think so. I guess I drank too much fake wine."

Gu Chengxiao actually took out another chicken with lotus leaves from his pocket, removed the hemp rope, threw it on the table, and tore it up with his bare hands. He simply didn't suck it this time.

"Second Young Master, drink quickly. This osmanthus wine is a perfect match with lotus leaf chicken!"

Jing Xi stretched out his hand with black lines on his head and said, "I'm afraid of being poisonous, huh? Wait a minute, what did you just call me?"

Gu Chengxiao lowered one leg, took out a silk scarf from his sleeve and wiped his hands. He looked at Jingxi with a pair of deep eyes and said, "Second Young Master, stop pretending. When you captured the prince of the enemy country alive and returned to the capital, I had the honor to be there. Capital City.”

Jingxi couldn't understand more and more this person who seemed to have a dual personality. Looking at Hu Boyu's reaction just now, this person must have a high status. Why is he a little nervous?

As if he could see Jing Xi's doubts, Gu Chengxiao ate the chicken leg and said with a smile: "Second Young Master, you don't need to think too much. I just do whatever I want, without any purpose. If I have a purpose, then I have admired the second young master for a long time, and I have long wanted to get to know you. Hurry up and eat the chicken, or it will be cold in a while. Miss Lian'er, you should also try it."

Jingxi stretched out his hand with a look of disgust: "Well, well, the more you talk about it, the more confused I become. You said you have no purpose, but don't tell me that you happened to pass by that Su embroidery cloth shop today?"
