MTL - Long Wind Crossing-Chapter 109
Gu Jiusi came out of Lu Yong's house late at night. Lu Yong introduced almost all of his cronies to Gu Jiusi at home, and the two sides took over. Gu Jiusi understood them roughly, and they all had a meal together before coming back.
Liu Yuru got the news that Gu Jiusi went to Lu Mansion, but she didn't expect that Gu Jiusi would stay for so long. Originally set up a seat for him to catch the wind and dust, thinking of waiting for him to go home, but it turned out to be waiting until late at night.
Liu Yuru arranged for Jiang Rou and others to eat first, and studied money and waterways in the house. Since she sells grain and builds such a large caravan, she naturally has to keep up with the grain supply. This means that she has to buy more land and recruit more people, and behind this, it's all money.
Liu Yuru counted the money, and in the middle of the night, there was a noise outside, and someone brought Gu Jiusi back. She hurriedly got up and went, and saw Gu Jiusi drunk, being helped back.
: "Master Wang, Master Li, walk slowly."
Liu Yuru hurriedly also thanked the other party, the other party smiled, and after saying goodbye to Liu Yuru, got on the carriage and left.
Liu Yuru helped Gu Jiusi to go home, she was a little unhappy, she didn't like Gu Jiusi not coming back for dinner, and she didn't like him coming back so drunk.
But she still restrained her temper and helped Gu Jiusi back to the room. Gu Jiusi put her hand on her shoulder, but she still tried to support herself, as if she was afraid of pressing her, and asked vaguely: "Have you eaten?"
Liu Yuru felt more comfortable when she heard this, this person still misses her.
She replied, "Drink a bowl of porridge to cover your stomach, have you eaten anything?"
"Well, I have eaten." Gu Jiusi was helped by her to the bed, he seemed a little tired, lay on the bed, and said in a low voice, "Also drank a lot of wine."
Liu Yuru ordered someone to cook sober soup, Gu Jiusi lay on the bed and whispered, "Yuru, am I being annoying?"
"How?"
Liu Yuru lowered her head: "Everyone likes you."
"No." Gu Jiusi's tongue was a little knotted, "It's just that you like me, like me, and many people hate me."
"Especially, I'm going to offend a lot of people now."
Gu Jiusi said slowly: "I won't tout people...and I won't get along with people...I have a big temper..."
"Who told you this?" Liu Yuru frowned, a little unhappy, Gu Jiusi opened her eyes, looked at the top of the bed tent, and said slowly, "Lu Yong said, I have to keep it for myself A way back. I think he's right."
"I can't keep going."
Liu Yuru paused when she heard this, and Gu Jiusi started to retching. Liu Yuru hurriedly had someone bring a spittoon. Climb over, hold the spittoon and vomit.
Liu Yuru didn't know what was going on in her heart, so she felt very uncomfortable. She stroked Gu Jiusi's back lightly, and when Gu Jiusi finished vomiting, she wiped his face with a wet handkerchief.
Gu Jiusi lay on the bed, pulled her, and whispered, "Yuru, I feel uncomfortable."
Liu Yuru took his hand, slowly held him, and said gently, "The hangover soup will come in a while."
Gu Jiusi stopped talking, he lay on the bed, and after a long time, he suddenly said: "Yuru, I'm going to be the minister of households soon."
"I know," Liu Yuru chuckled lightly, "I had a banquet for you today, to catch the wind and dust for you."
"It's over."
He opened his eyes, and his expression was a little blank: "I am actually very afraid these days. I used to think that I was very capable, but now I suddenly feel that I have no ability. You didn't kill people, If you need to kill, you can have evidence to prove that you killed. In the face of power, where can there be justice?"
"I made you bullied."
He groped, put her hands on his chest, closed his eyes, and repeated hoarsely: "I made you bullied."
"Nine thoughts..."
It was the first time he showed weakness to her after so long.
She always thought that he was calm and strategized, but at this moment she realized that the fact that Gu Jiusi was imprisoned not only affected her and made her feel incompetent, but also affected Gu Jiusi.
Both of them were panicking to death, but they pretended to be each other's support.
Liu Yuru understood this feeling. She looked at the person in front of her with frowns and put her hands in her arms. After a long time, she said, "So, today you went to drink with someone?"
"I will climb up," Gu Jiusi seemed a little sleepy, and his voice changed a little, "Climb to a position where no one can bully you."
"Yuru," he said earnestly, "I'll be twenty soon. When I grow up, I shouldn't be self-willed."
Liu Yuru did not speak.
She served Gu Jiusi, drank the hangover soup, and then took off her clothes. She lay beside him at night, listening to the sound of the rain outside, and after a long time, she turned sideways, stretched out her hand, and hugged him.
"I still like your waywardness."
She whispered.
But Gu Jiusi fell asleep and couldn't hear.
Gu Jiusi woke up with a lot less headache. When he woke up, Liu Yuru had already woken up, and brought his maid to dress him in person. Gu Jiusi was a little uneasy. Seeing Liu Yuru helping him put on the belt, he said seriously: "Yesterday, I met a new group of adults. It was the first time I met for a toast. There were a lot of people. I'm embarrassed to refuse. Don't be angry."
Liu Yuru couldn't help but smile when she heard his confession. She looked up at him and said angrily, "What are you so afraid of? You are doing business for the sake of business, I know it clearly. It's just in the future," Liu Yuru adjusted his clothes for him, and said softly, "Don't drink so much and hurt your body. You are Gu Shangshu," Liu Yuru raised her eyes and said with a smile, "You are a person of status, but you have to be a bit pretentious."
This made Gu Jiusi laugh. He took the man into his arms and whispered, "You said I heard your name Gu Shangshu, why do you think your mouth is so sweet?"
Liu Yuru knew that he was a hooligan in the early morning, glared at him, pushed him and said, "Hurry up and go to the court."
Gu Jiusi bowed her head and kissed her before leaving. When she walked out the door, she remembered and said to Liu Yuru, "Oh, Yuru, are you short of money?"
Liu Yuru was stunned for a while, then nodded decisively: "Lack."
Gu Jiusi smiled: "Then give me Hua Rong's ledger, and I'll introduce you to the God of Wealth."
Gu Jiusi left after speaking, Liu Yuru was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said to Yin Hong behind him, "I think this uncle is very handsome."
Yin Hong was a little helpless: "Madam, who gave you money, you think who is handsome, right?"
"No," Liu Yuru said seriously, "For example, Brother Ye, whether you give me money or not, I think he is extremely handsome."
Ye Shian got into the carriage and sneezed.
Gu Jiusi said in the morning to introduce her to the God of Wealth, but Liu Yuru did not take it lightly.
Nowadays, the grain stores are all managed by Ye Yun. After Liu Yuru asked her, she began to ask Yunyun for advice, and then made inferences. First, she named the rice "Shen Xianxiang", and then she contacted the people in the palace, sent the rice to the imperial kitchen, and let Fan Xuan taste it. Fan Xuan recognized the rice from Wangdu immediately, and wrote a poem to praise the rice. So in the past few days, Wangdu has worked up and down, and officials have come to buy this fairy incense and go back to taste it. In order to expand the road, Ye Yun also started to try it on the spot. She prepared Sichuan pepper rice, sesame oil rice, Huaihua rice, sweet-scented osmanthus rice, etc...
The rice that was originally six cents fragrant became very fragrant. Even just a few days after it started selling, Ye Yun already asked for more.
Because of the stability of Huarong and the hot sale of fairy incense, Liu Yuru's cash flow is still relatively good. After checking the account early in the morning, she was very happy when she came out of the restaurant. After walking a few steps, she heard a somewhat familiar voice saying, "I didn't expect to meet Mrs. Gu here again."
Liu Yuru paused, she turned around and saw Li Yunshang standing there.
Li Yunshang looked a little haggard, when Liu Yuru saw it, she saluted, "I have seen Your Highness."
"How about shopping?"
Li Yunshang came over and walked with Liu Yuru: "Walk together?"
Liu Yuru replied without shyness, and walked with Li Yunshang. Li Yunshang looked calm, and the two walked to the teahouse together and found a private room. After the two of them sat down, Li Yunshang suddenly said, "Are you laughing at me now?"
"Princess golden branches and jade leaves."
Liu Yuru said in a low voice, "Where is the turn of the people to laugh at you?"
"This is probably the last time we meet," Li Yunshang sat in the seat with a calm expression. There was a kind of stillness on her face that was about to die, and she didn't look half as beautiful as she was. She raised her eyes to look at Liu Yuru, her eyes like Liuli, "Is there anything you want to ask me?"
"Me and the princess, do you have any questions?"
Liu Yuru took a sip of tea and looked calm. Li Yunshang watched her quietly, and after a long time, she smiled softly: "When my father was still alive, he once told me that I was his most beloved daughter, and I hope my marriage will not become a political bargaining chip. He is alive, he He will take care of me, he is dead, and the prince's brother will take care of me, and I can be willful for a lifetime."
Speaking, Li Yunshang turned her head and looked out the window with a bitter expression: "Who knows, they all left so early. Before the father left, he was still thinking about my choice of a son-in-law. I actually There was someone in my heart at that time.”
Li Yunshang looked up at Liu Yuru: "Don't ask who?"
"What's with me?"
Liu Yuru looked dull. Li Yunshang was stunned for a while, but after a while, he smiled: "It still has something to do with you, in fact, the first consort I picked was Gu Jiusi. I originally thought that I would meet him when he came to the East, as long as he really looks like Jiang The Shang Shu said it so well, I will ask the royal father to order the marriage."
Speaking, Li Yunshang fell silent, she seemed to be thinking about something, after a long time, she slowly said: "He is better than I thought, he is very capable, very principled, and he looks good. Very good. The first time I saw him, I felt regretful. This is supposed to be mine. In fact, I am quite jealous of you. Every time I hear that he protects you and sees him accompanying you, I can't help but think , this should have been mine."
"I should have had a marriage that had nothing to do with politics," Li Yunshang said with yearning in her eyes, "I should have married someone I liked, and I have been living well."
Liu Yuru listened to this and smiled gently: "Your Highness, in fact, you don't like him, you just think that Gu Jiusi is a sign of a good life for you. If he gets married, I'm afraid he will regret it."
Speaking, Liu Yuru had nostalgia in her eyes: "He was not like this before, and you won't like him before."
Li Yunshang listened, and after a long time, she laughed: "Maybe."
"Does Your Highness have anything else to do?" Liu Yuru looked at the sky outside, "I have other things to do, so I may not be able to accompany you all the time."
Li Yunshang nodded, Liu Yuru said goodbye to her, she walked a few steps, stood at the door, suddenly remembered, turned and asked Li Yunshang: "I heard that you are going to marry Mrs. Live well, Your Highness."
Hearing this, Li Yunshang smiled: "I will."
She turned her head to look out the window, and said indifferently: "The phoenix is a thing that doesn't live in the phoenix tree, and it doesn't drink the dew. I will always have a good life."
Liu Yuru nodded, Li Yunshang looked at her and couldn't help laughing: "I thought you would curse me."
"Huh?" Liu Yuru was a little puzzled, but she reacted in a moment, she smiled: "I don't hide it from you."
She has a gentle voice: "I have always been tolerant towards the weak."
Li Yunshang was stunned for a while, but Liu Yuru didn't talk to her anymore and walked out. Li Yunshang looked at the empty private room, and after a while, she couldn't help laughing out loud, but she burst into tears.
It wasn't until this moment that she truly realized the power of Liu Yuru.
Li Yunshang grabbed the cup next to her, slammed it on the floor, and then closed her eyes in pain.
Liu Yuru went back to the house and saw the person brought by Gu Jiusi. He was Lu Yong's housekeeper. Liu Yuru took him into the study, talked to him alone for a while, and then took Hua Rong's The account was handed to him.
"Lord Lu wants to make money, I have many shops here for him to buy shares, but I am still planning one thing, if Mr. Lu is interested, I will visit the door in person after the preparation is completed. ."
Butler Lu nodded and left with the ledger. When they went out, Butler Lu was already very familiar with Liu Yuru. Butler Lu had a good impression of Liu Yuru. It should be said that if there is no special relationship, ordinary people who talk to Liu Yuru will have a good impression. This is probably the instinct and talent of business people.
Liu Yuru escorted Butler Lu to the car, and finally said: "My family Langjun is not very sensible. He is still young, and he will need more guidance and care from adults in the future."
Hearing this, Butler Lu smiled: "I'm dissatisfied with you, my lord said it, Gu sr., except for being younger and more energetic, there is no need for others to say more, he is a ruthless man ."
However, after a few days, something happened that shook the court and the opposition.
Gu Jiusi spent five days counting the silver in the treasury, and finally counted the silver out of the treasury and lost a total of nearly five million taels of silver. And this case of stealing treasury silver is directly related to Liu Chun. Gu Jiusi sorted out the people involved in stealing treasury silver, and there were nearly two hundred people. As for Gu Jiusi, there was no shortage of them, and they all participated in the performance.
One person participated in more than 200 officials in one day, which is almost the highest number of people participating in the past 100 years. On the same day, an old official scolded Gu Jiusi in court, and was so angry that he vomited blood.
When going down, Ye Qingwen walked beside Gu Jiusi, coughed lightly, and said with Gu Jiusi: "That, Jiusi, do you consider coming to the Censor's desk for a part-time job?"
Gu Jiusi smiled and declined Ye Qingwen's proposal. Then he smiled and went home.
Looking at the back of Gu Jiusi walking away, the civil and military capitals of the dynasty shivered.
This kind of ruthless man, fortunately did not go to the censor's desk.
