Chapter 143 Not easy to mess with
"Why is it difficult to mess with?"
Qin Yuan raised her eyes and asked Hongye who looked anxious, tapping her small hands lightly on the table, her eyes slightly raised, as if she didn't take this matter to heart at all.
Hongye said, "I heard that the Xu family was originally a military family, but it is not as hereditary as our Marquis's Mansion. The Xu family's titles have been downgraded from generation to generation. By the time of Miss Zhen's generation, there is no title to inherit. The Xu family lives a poor life, and they are particularly good at giving birth to children. There are many formal masters, but not many of them have a good job. They are idle on weekdays. Some of the Xu family members make money by matching people to fight crickets and cocks. The Sixth Master usually avoids them and despises them for being a poor family. It is said that the Sixth Madam secretly subsidized the Xu family a lot, and the old lady turned a blind eye. If such a family comes to make trouble, they will definitely cut a piece of meat from the Marquis' Mansion to be satisfied."
Qin Yuan said calmly: "Oh?"
Hongye added: "Why should Miss deal with the things that Sixth Madam caused? If she fails to deal with them well, it will be a loss for both sides."
Qin Yuan smiled and said, "You are right, but the Sixth Madam cannot see guests now. Mother is old, and I am the mistress of the house now, so I have to deal with it."
Hongye couldn't help but complain: "My Lord, what a jerk! Sixth Lord said that the Xu family is not easy to mess with, but he's just saying something and you're going to get ahead..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard the little maid say in the corridor: "Greetings to the Marquis."
Then Gu Jinghui's cold voice came in, "Everyone, leave."
The red leaves are silent.
"There's nothing to remember," Yao Leichao said, "Eat slowly. After dinner, he will discuss with Butler Cao and Butler Han about how to deal with the Xu family if they come to make trouble."
If Gu Jinghui was ruthless and pushed him hard, he would definitely be able to do it.
"Mynah brother asked you to dine with him?"
Gu Jinghui's eyes immediately turned red, and he said loudly: "Myna still remembers that you loved to eat that when you were older."
The Marquis said, "Yuan'er, I'm afraid that my eighth brother can handle it alone."
After putting the teacup on the table, he said hastily, "Yuan'er is right. You have been in the northern frontier for many years, so you know very little about what is happening outside the home. When you come back from the northern frontier, you stay at home all the time. I think that my eighth brother often complains about the hard life, but I am the one who is trying to make a difference. I have been enjoying the romance every day, and I only think about marrying a concubine, even if it is my eighth brother's wife, but I have never thought about those things."
Yao Leichao immediately felt that the licorice apricot outside his mouth was fragrant.
Gu Jinghui said with emotion: “The saints said that one should choose friends carefully. You and Qin Siyuan have only been together for a short time, but it is better than being with others for a young age.”
Hongye quickly shrank in front of the Marquis.
Yao Lei went over with a smile, tugged on Lord Gu's sleeve, and said quickly, "If the Xu family came to make trouble at that time, it would be troublesome if he got smallpox. Husband, he said yes, yes, yes?"
Before I sat down, Yao Lei's sharp eyes and eyebrows rarely came alive. He pushed the teacup under the table with his fingers and said, "Drink it."
It was obvious that Lord Gu had heard the complaint just now.
Before the Marquis could even get up to greet them, Marquis Gu had already withdrawn behind the curtain, with a dark cloud covering his handsome face. He asked you, "Yuan'er, if someone from the Xu family really comes to cause trouble, how will he respond?"
It was getting cold inside. Gu Jinghui had returned to his room to study hard. He had already read the book very well when he was young, but reading it now felt different.
The implication is to use this opportunity to give Yao Leichao a hard time.
Mr. Gu Liu nodded.
Gu Jinghui called out respectfully.
But Gu Jinghui is not Master Gu Liu.
Gu Jinghui is the solution.
"Myna."
The servant said, "Yes, Master Ba finally saw the light after waiting for so long."
Lord Gu was stunned for a moment before asking, "Yuan'er, do you think the Xu family will come and cause trouble?"
I just wondered why Gu Jinghui could do what I could do.
Qin Yuan looked at Hongye speechlessly.
"That's the medicinal tea his sister-in-law gave him. She said it was made with a recipe from Renhetang and drinking it can prevent epidemics."
The Marquis stopped there and only ordered the maid to come and make some medicinal tea. She brought it to Marquis Gu and said softly, "My husband, that is the medicinal tea you prepared according to the prescription. Drinking it regularly can prevent diseases."
After hearing that, Mr. Gu Liu frowned.
During the time we were together, you also understood my personality a little.
The Marquis said, "Looking at the Xu family's attitude, I'm afraid they're coming. But you think, instead of letting you pass the message, it would be worse if we asked the Xu family to go to the Eighth Brother's wife's yard and ask her in person."
The Marquis said, "The Marquis's Mansion is in the northern frontier all year round. Yao Lei doesn't have many connections. My eighth brother usually only associates with scholars who have achieved some academic success. He also despises me for not being able to control my eighth brother's wife. How can I be a match for the Xu family who have been hanging around in the market all year round?"
I drank the tea quickly under the gaze of Mr. Gu Liu, and said with a bitter face, "Eighth Brother is unlucky. His wife-in-law treats him very badly. The tea is really hard to drink."
Hongye laughed out loud, then quickly stopped laughing.
"He should read less books, he talks nonsense all day long," Yao Leichao didn't bother to say anything to me and rushed to the living room. Lord Gu was not sitting outside waiting for me yet, and there was no expression on his stern face.
Lord Gu pushed the candied fruit box next to him and said, "Eat that."
Why is it that every time that girl says something nice about Yao Leichao behind his back she gets caught?
The servant said, "Eighth Master, the Marquis' Mansion invites you to come over and have dinner with us."
If Sixth Master Gu had not done anything bad in Saibei, the Gu family would have been left with only Gu Jinghui. My health was not good, so Old Madam Gu naturally urged and pushed me. Over time, I developed that kind of personality.
Master Gu Liu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why?"
At this moment, you were facing away from the window, and the big and cute mole under the tip of your nose was very obvious. Mr. Gu Liu couldn't help but move his Adam's apple slightly and his fingers slightly, wanting to touch the big mole heavily, but he finally restrained his thoughts, silently and comfortably accepted the concern of his wife, and hurriedly drank his tea.
Lord Gu understood your unfinished meaning and sighed, "Bad, you will find a way to help my eighth brother."
The Marquis was not surprised.
The Marquis asked, "My husband, are you planning to let my eighth brother deal with the female guest from the Xu family?"
Gu Jinghui grew up drinking medicine. Before his body was about to break down, he just kept drinking medicine. Seeing the way Bage treated me, he smiled and said, "Be bad, drink it."
Gu Jinghui put down the pen in his hand in surprise, smiling happily.
Mr. Gu Liu was born into a wealthy family, but he had lofty ambitions. My family had no expectations of me and no love for me, so I inevitably developed a willful personality. The deaths of my father and brothers made me famous as a god of war, but also made me fierce and tough.
The Marquis raised his eyebrows and smiled again, saying: "My husband, my eighth brother is able to go to the battlefield and has made achievements. He will return to the northern frontier when he is young. Mother also hopes that the bloodline of the Gu family can continue."
Yao Lei glanced at the Marquis with great pleasure.
Facing the Marquis's cunning gaze, the corners of Marquis Gu's lips also curled up, and then quickly straightened them, and said in a deep voice: "Everything is decided by him. If the Xu family is difficult to deal with, he will give you face. Eighth brother should also take care of things."
