Forced Marriage [Cultivation]

He also said that Jiang Suxing could do something, so he went to a pawn shop to pawn things.Although Yunzhou was also affected by this disaster, it was only slightly affected along the coast. The treaty port was suspended for a day and then recovered soon.The [-] land of Yunzhou is still as prosperous and bustling as before.

Jiang Suxing often walked around Yunzhou, and soon found a pawn shop, asked Xiao Wu to take out the things one by one, and let the shopkeeper inspect the goods one by one.After half an hour, I finally finished checking things.The shopkeeper was also polite. After all, he was doing business in Yunzhou, so he took out a stack of bank notes very simply.

Facing the stack of bank notes, Jiang Suxing refused to accept them.He raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at the shopkeeper opposite him expressionlessly.

"Master Jiang, please don't look outside, this is what our boss told you." The shopkeeper's face was so full of fat that he could hardly see his eyes.

Jiang Suxing raised the corners of his lips, his eyes were cold: "May I ask if your boss's surname is Chu?"

"Hey..." The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment. After all, he is also a businessman. He can look at people's faces very well, and said with a smile: "Patriarch Jiang misunderstood, our boss's surname is not Chu."

"Hmph. Isn't your surname Chu? Then I dare not accept it." Jiang Suxing smiled, "The Chu family is my friend after all, and I can accept them donating money. If there is someone I don't know, I dare not accept it randomly. I have a black account on my head, what should I do if I come to seek revenge one day?"

After saying that, he stood up and was about to leave, the shopkeeper quickly stood up, pulled Jiang Suxing's sleeve and said, "Hey, Patriarch Jiang, please stay for a while, our owner's surname is Chu, and our surname is Chu."

"Since the surname is Chu, why did you say it wasn't Chu?"

"Hey, just now, someone from the owner's family came suddenly and said that if the owner of the Jiang family comes to pawn the goods, no matter how much it is, he will pay three times the price." The shopkeeper said: "Master Jiang, you said that since you guessed it, why bother to ask? ? The boss has explained everything, and they are not allowed to say what the surname is."

"How dare I accept so much money if you don't tell me clearly?" Jiang Suxing laughed.

"Will you accept it now?" The shopkeeper offered the stack of silver coins.

The sunlight hit the hall from the bustling street and shone on the wad of money, which was extremely dazzling.Jiang Suxing calmed down, and said: "The second girl has worked so hard, how can I not accept it."

Nodding with a smile, Xiao Wu stepped forward to accept the money.

After leaving the pawn shop, Jiang Suxing felt very depressed.He looked at the bustling street, and all he could see was a mess of people. The depression in his heart increased instead of decreasing, and he couldn't breathe.

"Hey, is that Second Brother Gu?" At this moment, Xiao Wu who was on the side suddenly exclaimed.

Jiang Suxing looked over and saw a long queue in front of a pastry shop full of guests.It seemed that they were selling some novel and delicious pastries, and people flocked to it.Even in the crowd, Gu Baitang can still be seen at a glance.

He was dressed in white, with black hair reaching his waist.Even when he was waiting in line to buy pastries, he still stood proudly with icy muscles and bones, and his whole body was awe-inspiring.It is impossible to ignore.

Seeing Gu Baitang, Jiang Suxing suddenly felt a clear stream pouring into his eyes, as if his internal organs had been washed.

He walked over with a big stride and a smile on his face.

"Baitang, why are you here?" Jiang Suxing shouted two steps away, but if he took one more step, those people would think he jumped in line, and all of them stared at him with wide-eyed warning.

Gu Baitang glanced at him, but ignored him, because it was his turn soon.Pointing to the full row of pastries, pointing to which one you want.

Jiang Suxing was not in a hurry, he turned around and asked Xiao Wu to take the two servants to visit Yunzhou.The three of them naturally understood the situation, and happily bid farewell to go shopping.

Jiang Suxing was waiting under a tree not far away, leaning against the tree.He watched as Gu Baitang took out a few pieces of silver from the pocket at his waist and handed it to the boss in exchange for two boxes of pastries.Carrying the two boxes of pastries again, she walked towards him.

"I came to Yunzhou to see my third sister." Gu Baitang said, "She just gave birth and wanted to eat the cakes from this shop, so I bought them."

Jiang Suxing smiled in surprise, "Miss Gu has given birth to a baby? Boy or girl? Let's go, I'll go with you."

Gu Baitang paused, and followed him to Gu Sanjie's house.But he just heard from his mother that the third sister had a baby, after all, is it a boy or a girl...

"I didn't ask, I don't know." Gu Baitang said expressionlessly.

Jiang Suxing laughed, "You uncle, you don't even know whether your nephew is male or female?"

Gu Baitang lowered his head and gave him a blank look, and stopped talking.

As the two walked together, Jiang Suxing's mood gradually brightened.With Gu Baitang by his side, this Yunzhou City has a different scene, it seems much more pleasing to the eye and much more lively.

"Don't you ask me what I'm here for?" Jiang Suxing asked suddenly.

Gu Baitang paused, "Who cares about you."

Jiang Suxing bent his lips into a smile and stopped talking.

Third Sister Gu's home was a little far away from the urban area, and the two of them rode in a carriage.

The carriage is a bit crowded, especially when encountering some sections of the road and shaking twice.Jiang Suxing controlled his body not to touch Gu Baitang, and said with a smile: "It will take about an hour at least from Yuping to Gu Sanjie's house in Yunzhou, and you should be about the same time as our departure time. You just arrived at three My sister's family ran so far non-stop to buy pastries, what a brother."

Hearing the crookedness in his tone, Gu Baitang gave him a sideways look, but still didn't speak.

When they arrived at the door of Gu Sanjie's house, the two got out of the carriage, Gu Baitang walked in first, Jiang Suxing followed closely behind, not half a step behind, as if afraid that Gu Baitang would run away.

Gu Sanjie's family was very surprised when they saw Gu Baitang.

"Second Brother? Why are you here? I haven't seen you for a long time..." Third Sister Gu probably hadn't seen Gu Baitang for a long time, and she burst into tears when she saw her suddenly.

In fact, as far as Jiang Suxing knew, Gu Baitang did not have a deep relationship with his third sister. To be precise, Gu Baitang did not have a deep relationship with his brothers and sisters.It's no wonder that he was sent to the West City at the age of seven, so it's no wonder how much affection he has.

The brothers and sisters talked for a while, and it was more that Gu Sanjie was talking about the parents, but Gu Baitang listened silently.According to that, the third brother-in-law wants to take a new concubine, and the couple are having trouble here.

"Second brother, you are here, tell me, should he do this? I gave birth to him, but I didn't expect him to go outside..." Third sister Gu cried again, and her husband was beside him with a bitter face dare not speak.

Jiang Suxing had been sitting at the door watching the sky. Seeing that Gu Baitang was running out of patience, he stood up in time and said with a smile, "Baitang, the Chu family's banquet is about to start. It's time for us to leave. We have to go back to Yuping soon. It’s hard to travel at sea at night.”

"Do you still have something to do?" Gu Sanjie stood up now, "Then I won't keep you anymore. I'll deal with my own affairs."

Gu Baitang stood up, "I'm leaving, take care, if you need help, write to me."

Third Sister Gu nodded, looked at her third brother-in-law bitterly, raised her head and said to Gu Baitang, "Don't worry, I can still handle this matter by myself. None of the daughters of the Qiu family are weak."

Gu Baitang bowed, turned and left.Jiang Suxing also bowed, followed behind Gu Baitang, and the two left Gu Sanjie's house.

As soon as he walked out of the gate, Jiang Suxing saw that Gu Baitang seemed to be in a bad mood, probably also influenced by Gu Sanjie.Then he joked: "Didn't you say that you came to see your third sister, and you bought it because she wanted to eat cakes? Why did she see you just now, and it seems like you have never been here?"

Gu Baitang paused, glanced at him, his expression was not very good, he wanted to say something, but he seemed to be pissed off.In the end, without saying anything, he raised his feet and walked straight forward with his long legs.

Jiang Suxing quickly caught up, pulled his sleeves, begged for mercy and smiled: "Okay, I was wrong, I shouldn't tease you. I know you came to Yunzhou from Yuping with good intentions, Brother Baitang, You are kind to me, I understand..."

He tugged on Gu Baitang's sleeve, which gradually turned into tugging on his arm.Keep your head down and play tricks.Gu Baitang stopped, and he leaned on Gu Baitang's shoulder, breathing silently.The two were silent for a while, and the air became more and more silent and hot.

In the end, Gu Baitang silently pushed his cheek away, and Jiang Suxing slowly let go of Gu Baitang's sleeve, and stepped back a step away.

"The Chu family's banquet is about to begin, let's go, I will accompany you." Gu Baitang said, his voice was as cold as water.

Jiang Suxing nodded and said with a smile, "Okay."

In front of the Chu family's mansion, there were many cars and horses, and people in rich clothes sat in sedan chairs and carriages, carrying various gift boxes, and kept entering.

This time the banquet was hosted by local gentry and rich men in Yuping. Although these people have a little money, they are only in a small place in Yuping.This time, being able to eat at the Chu family, the most prominent family in Yunzhou, is naturally a blessing for Sansheng, and everyone's faces are bright and enthusiastic.

As soon as Jiang Suxing appeared, naturally all the gentry and rich men in Yuping saw it.Regarding Jiang Suxing, these people naturally have complicated ideas.There is something to please, but there is also some guilt, and some are afraid of trouble and stay away.

But after seeing Gu Baitang next to Jiang Suxing, he completely dispelled the idea of ​​those people coming up to greet him.All they had to do was to nod and salute Jiang Suxing from a long distance away, after all, the person beside him was beautiful, but he looked like a walking sword of ice and snow, which made people daunting.

Not only did these people not dare to approach, even after entering the Chu family compound, no one dared to approach easily.When Haitang came to welcome her, she only dared to stand ten steps away, saluted from a distance, and shouted respectfully: "Welcome Patriarch Jiang."

Jiang Suxing smiled all over his face, cupped his hands and said: "You are polite, I kept you waiting for so long, Suxing apologizes."

He simply went to the table and punished himself with three glasses of wine.He always had a smile on his face, and he was not too embarrassed during the dinner.

Miss Chu Er was originally waiting at the banquet early, but now she stood up and took the wine glass calmly and gently.

"Jingyu or recklessness, self-assessing the king's will, please forgive me." After finishing speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, "I don't want to be offended."

Jiang Suxing hurriedly said: "What did the second girl say? You have worked so hard. Jiang is sincerely grateful. Jiang will return to the West City tomorrow. Maybe the matter of Yuping in the future, I need to trouble the second girl to take a look at it."

Miss Chu Er said with a smile: "It's natural. The folks and elders of Yuping are also present at this banquet. They are the main force in rebuilding Yuping. It is their home. I think they will spare no effort to rebuild their homeland. You said Is this the reason?"

All the country gentry and local tyrants raised their cups, and responded loudly: "Miss Chu said that Yuping is our home, and Yunzhou is wonderful. How can it be better than Yuping? We always want to go back!"

"Yes, yes, I want to go back. I just came to Yunzhou to visit relatives. I will go back in two days..."

Someone laughed lowly and said, "Hey brother Wang, you need to drag your family and your dog away when you leave your relatives?"

"Hey, I, I brought the dogs here for breeding!" The speaker quickly explained.

People roared with laughter.

Chu Jingyu laughed, and Jiang Suxing also laughed.He smiled and shook his head, holding up his wine glass, "Jiang has thanked you all, and now I am going to retreat in the West City. I don't know when we will see you again. This glass is for everyone present, for our common Yuping!"

After all, drink it up.In the end, under the unanimous approval of everyone, everyone elected Boss Zhou as the person in charge of the disaster relief funds.Jiang Suxing put the money pawned before into the fundraising box in front of everyone, and said solemnly: "Uncle Zhou, I will work hard for you from now on."

Boss Zhou looked at him, smiled and sighed: "Ah Xing, Yuping is also my home, this is what I should do. You are still so young, you should fight for your life, you shouldn't be taken by this small place like Yuping, Obsessed with us mortals."

Jiang Suxing laughed, "You just like to talk and tease me, Yuping, I will be back sooner or later."

"Come back before I die."

"Don't worry, I will definitely come back to see you off."

The two said such words, but they looked at each other and laughed.

Coming out of the Chu family compound, on the way back to Yuping, Jiang Suxing suddenly asked: "You say, am I too stingy? I'm still not broad-minded enough."

Gu Baitang stared at him, snorted coldly, and rode his horse forward.

"Hey, wait for me!"

Jiang Suxing chased after him.

On a summer night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the breeze is sultry.Jiang Suxing took a deep breath and smiled wantonly.
