Chapter 284: The Greedy Su Jinxiu
Chapter 284: The Greedy Su Jinxiu
Looking at Gu Xiao with doubt, I feel more and more that he must have some plan for this young man!
I have to find an appropriate opportunity to remind him, and remind him tactfully.
Wen Jiu went to the cabin with Master Xu to discuss where to build a private school, site selection, budget planning, and finally finding a teacher, etc. A series of tedious matters. Why was he discussing it with Master Xu? Because he had money and time!
After the location of the private school was finalized, Wen Jiu drew a rough sketch, and the outline was roughly out. As long as it was carefully polished, it would soon take shape.
"It's rushed today, so I'll go back and draw it carefully. It will probably take a few days. You say hello to my eldest brother first, and then the people who own the land over there will buy it out in one go. I can't ask you to pay the full amount this time, otherwise my brother will scold me to death. It's settled." Wen Jiu knew that he must have some doubts in his heart, but she just did the same as always.
"It's been less than half an incense stick, and I admire you for your painting skills. Don't worry, don't hurt your eyes. I'll do as you say." Mr. Xu rolled up the drawing paper and said carefully. The two of them had finished discussing the matter and were about to leave the cabin when they heard a voice outside. It was his brother again.
"Bai Zhi, how do you make this delicious?"
"Steamed"
"what about this?"
"soup"
"what about this?"
"Braised"
"Hey, there's this too?"
“Stir-fry”
"This one, it's like a stone."
"Roast it, add some minced garlic and chili, it's very fragrant"
"Ah, can you make all of these tonight? I want to eat them." Su Jinxiu said, looking at Bai Zhi with pleading eyes. Bai Zhi was defeated.
"Of course, Third Master."
"Great. By the way, can we eat the one that sprays dirty stuff today? Make a big plate for me. Eat it hard."
"Okay" Bai Zhi is helpless
"Brother, didn't you go back to change your clothes?"
"What to change? I'm waiting for you to go back together. Xuan Ling said you were discussing something. Are you done?"
"Okay, let's go back." Wen Jiu stretched out her hand and let Su Jinxiu pull her up.
Mr. Xu on the side did not look very good. Su Jinxiu raised his eyebrows and looked up proudly, "You little brat!" Although he did not like Xiao Jue, he was at least married to her in a formal ceremony. No, the main wife, no, at least he was Jiu'er's husband. He was just like a mistress... Thinking like this, Jiu'er seemed like a heartless man. He had a wife waiting for him at home and a mistress outside...
He shook his head vigorously. Wine is not like that.
"Brother? Are you confused by the seafood? Why are you shaking your head?" Wen Jiu saw that he was shaking so hard
"I feel seasick." Su Jinxiu sat down and looked at Wen Jiu. "Jiu'er, have you written a letter to Master Xiao since you came here for so long?"
Beautiful, Gu Xiao cheered for Su Jinxiu himself
"What's there to write? By the way, bring more seafood when you go back this time, and try to share some with each family. Brother, Coco, Prince Xiao's Mansion, Prince Yong's Mansion, General's Mansion, and Zi Zhuo, um, and..." Wen Jiu didn't mention the Young Master's Mansion. Su Jinxiu understood that with Gu Xiao around, some secrets had to be kept.
He quickly took over and said, "I know everything, don't worry, I haven't started chasing you yet."
"If the county lady doesn't mind, I can buy some and let the emperor try it," Gu Xiao said.
"Okay, but you don't have to pay for it yourself, it's on me," Wen Jiu said generously.
"Okay, I'll escort the criminal, present your brother's memorial, and give you your gift. I'm sure the emperor will be very happy."
Who cares about his happiness? The reason I missed him is that I don’t want to give it to him. Now that you, the governor, have asked for it, how can I not send it to him?
"You are joking, Governor. I was careless when warming the wine and forgot."
"Go home, go home. Baizhi, can you two sit in the front and drive? If not, I'll drive." Su Jinxiu was obviously a little impatient.
"Third Master, Xuan Ling will drive the car, please sit down." Bai Zhi sat down and held on tightly.
Wen Jiu opened the window and waved goodbye to Xu Gongzi, Zhao Li and the other three. Xuan Ling accelerated the carriage.
On the way back, Su Jinxiu asked Gu Xiao to continue what he had said when he left off.
Gu Xiao's story was so moving that Wen Jiu thought he was telling a story to please her brother. Su Jinxiu listened very seriously and occasionally interrupted her, but Gu Xiao soon explained it to her. Wen Jiu felt something was wrong and had to urge Xuan Ling to get home quickly.
When they arrived, Su Jinyu and his team had already returned from the county government office.
Bai Zhi has been busy since she got off the carriage. Xuan Ling, Jiang Chen and Asan are helping her.
"Brother, what's wrong?" Su Jinxiu asked with a frown on his face.
"Nothing much. How was your walk today?" Su Jinxiu kept silent.
"It's my first time seeing such a magnificent sea. I'm quite happy. It's hard for me to not like the sea as I grew up in the dry spine of the northwest." Su Jinxiu's eyes were full of love.
I almost forgot to warm the wine. No wonder he was so excited, jumping up and down. He used to be more stable. Why is it that the longer we get along, the more he acts like a child?
"As long as you like it, remember to bring it back to your grandfather when you go back. It's time to change your clothes too." Su Jinyu handed the letter to Su Jinxiu.
"Got it," Su Jinxiu put him close to his chest and patted him.
"at home……"
"Brother, I just got here. You're acting like I'm leaving tomorrow." Su Jinxiu ignored him, changed his clothes, and then walked around the house.
"This yard is really nice." Su Jinxiu walked around and ended up in the kitchen.
"Let's bet on which one will be the most delicious." Su Jinxiu asked Gu Xiao to make a bet.
"I won't bet with you. I've eaten it all before and know how it tastes, but I've never tasted Bai Zhi's cooking skills." Gu Xiao took him into the kitchen
"Why do you look so familiar?"
“Just keep your eyes on all directions”
"Master Du, Third Young Master, why are you here? Just wait in the front yard," Bai Zhi said without stopping the work in her hands.
"We're here to help." Su Jinxiu thought about what Gu Xiao had told him in the carriage. The suffering the three of them had endured here was beyond his imagination in Beijing, so it would be good for him to come and help, even if it was just to light the fire.
He could chop wood or wash vegetables, whatever he could do, and he also contributed to the meal, cooking it for them.
Bai Zhi saw his intention and said, "Third Master, please help me pick these vegetables and wash them."
"What about me?" Gu Xiao asked
Bai Zhi was stunned. Even the young lady didn't dare to order the governor around. How could she have the courage?
"What should I do?" Gu Xiao asked again
"Master Du... Master Du, can you kill fish?" Bai Zhi asked with some stammering.
"Yes, I promise to deal with it cleanly for you." Gu Xiao took the dagger from his waist.
Baizhi pointed at the basin of fish, there should be three or four, quite big ones, and said, "These are the only ones, thank you for taking care of them, Supervisor." After saying that, she ran away. Oh, I was so scared!
"What did you do? You scared the little girl like this." Su Jinxiu sat on a small stool.
Gu Xiao also sat down. "I didn't sit down. They should be afraid of my identity. Many times I don't want to be like this. Many people stay away from me, so I don't have any friends." He said it easily, and the listener could hear the loneliness in his tone.
"Well, am I not your friend? If you have anything on your mind and have no one to talk to, you can come to me."
