Chapter 133 As a man, you should pamper him!
Shi Huairen smiled and said:
"The Zhenxi Marquis's Mansion was chosen by me, Shi. It's not far from my mansion. We're going the same way, so why don't you come to my mansion for a drink?"
Gu Xi was just thinking about finding an opportunity to get close to Shi Huairen, and now this opportunity came to him.
So he said:
"Okay! I was planning to go to Lord Shi's house to pay him a visit, so let's go now."
Seeing that Zhenxibo agreed so readily, Shi Huairen smiled even more.
It seems that this is a rude person who did not intend to offend his servants before.
When they arrived at the Shi family's house, Gu Xi was invited into the main hall. While Gu Xi was perfunctorily dealing with Shi Huairen, he secretly stuck a bug under the table.
However, the main hall is usually used for banquets, and any dirty matters are not usually discussed here. Gu Xi was thinking about how to sneak into the study room of the Shi Mansion.
Gu Xi's eyes rolled around, got it!
"I heard that Lord Shi is well-read and entered the official career as the top scholar. I am a rough man in the northwest. Now that I have come to Beijing, I have to read some books and show my elegance. I wonder if Lord Shi can lend me a few books to read?"
Schweiner was very proud of this.
He was originally a child of a poor family, but he passed the imperial examination by working hard and became the top scholar. He was good at scheming, and he married a daughter of an official family. Over the years, he rose rapidly in status and became a minister of the first rank.
"No, no, your compliment is too great. As for books, I have a lot of them. I will pick out some good ones and send them to you someday."
In terms of official positions, Shi Huairen was a first-rank civil official, and Qi Dasheng was a third-rank military general, but Qi Dasheng had a title, so Shi Huairen called him "Lord Earl" to show respect.
Gu Xi stood up, took Shi Huairen's arm and walked out.
"Why bother? Just take me to your study right now and I'll take anything I like."
"Hey, hey, Uncle..." Shi Huairen staggered as Gu Xi pulled him, and half-dragged him out of the main hall.
In my heart, I cursed warriors for being vulgar, but on the surface I could only respond:
"Okay, okay, let's go now."
Gu Xi laughed loudly and said:
"Master Shi, I am a straightforward person. I treat you as my own talent. You won't be offended, right?"
Shi Huairen smiled bitterly and said:
"No, no, Master is a true person. I just like him. How can I be surprised?"
But in my heart I thought, it’s okay to be vulgar, this kind of straightforwardness is easier to handle.
The two went to the study. Gu Xi looked at the bookshelf full of books and said in surprise:
"Master Shi is amazing. You have read so many books? Then I won't be polite. Just pick any one you want."
Schweiren made a gesture of invitation:
"Please do as you please, sir."
Gu Xi was flipping through the bookshelf, but he had actually secretly installed two mini eavesdropping devices and a camera on the bookshelf.
This thing is very small. If you don't look closely, you might think it is a nail on the bookshelf. Even in modern times, it is not easy to be found.
After randomly selecting a few books, Gu Xi said to Shi Huairen:
"These are the only few books I have. Thank you, Lord Shi, for the books. I won't take them for nothing. I will give you a belt that I made myself."
Gu Xi took out a leather belt from her arms. She bought it online and modified it slightly by installing a mini eavesdropping device on the metal snap button.
After all, clothes and shoes need to be changed frequently, but belts are generally not changed and must be worn every day.
Shi Huairen looked at this strange thing with a puzzled look on his face:
"Is this a belt? How do I use it?"
Gu Xi demonstrated it to him personally.
When Shi Huairen put on the new belt, he immediately felt it was much more comfortable than his old one. It was also extremely easy to use. He just had to put one end in and press it lightly.
"This is a good thing! Thank you, uncle!" Shi Huairen smiled happily.
It was not only because the belt was useful, but more importantly, he felt that since Zhenxibo gave a return gift, it meant that he was willing to make friends with him. His faction did not have many military generals, and Zhenxibo was a rising star in the military field. It would be a great help to be able to win him over.
After Gu Xi finished what he wanted to do, he said goodbye and left.
Her Zhenxibo Mansion was indeed very close to the Shi Mansion, only separated by a street.
It was already the middle of the night, and Gu Xi asked Liu Erdan and others to find a place to sleep by themselves and clean up tomorrow.
The next day, Gu Xi took the initiative to visit the Minister of Justice Zhang Shu, and followed his instructions, installing eavesdropping devices and surveillance cameras in his home. He also gave him a belt, but of course the style and color were different from Shi Huairen's.
When Gu Xi went to visit Zhou Qing's house, he was turned away.
The housekeeper directly said that Lord Zhou was not at home and did not even let Gu Xi in.
This old man actually dared not to give face to the most popular new military commander. He is quite tough.
Chu Zhao's analysis:
"Mr. Zhou is a very aloof person. I think Mr. Zhou knew about your visit to Shi's and Zhang's houses. He thought you were a person who was scheming for personal gain, so he didn't want to make friends with you."
"What should we do? How about you go and deliver the visiting card, and then I'll go in as your follower."
The Chu family and the Zhou family are on good terms, so Zhou Qing shouldn't refuse Chu Zhao from coming.
Chu Zhao nodded: "Okay, what do you need me to do?"
Gu Xi said: "You just need to give this belt to Zhou Qing and let him wear it every day."
Chu Zhao felt sour in his heart and muttered:
"How can you give away a belt as a personal item to another man?"
"What are you thinking? I modified this belt specially and gave it to Shi Huairen and Zhang Shu. I installed a kind of heavenly magic weapon on the belt, which can remotely monitor what they say and do."
Chu Zhao was so curious, "There are such things in heaven? It's amazing. Then why do we need spies in the future? We can just give them belts. No, it's a pity to give such a good thing away. Let's sell it at a high price. Then we can know all the news."
Gu Xi's eyes lit up and he said:
"That's a great idea! How about we set up a spy organization that specializes in gathering information and buying and selling information, just like those mysterious organizations in martial arts novels that are hard to find in the martial arts world? That would be so cool!"
Mei Changsu in "Langya Bang" sits in the mountains and knows everything about the world. Just thinking about his style makes my heart surge.
Chu Zhao said proudly:
"But it's not pleasant to think of another man using your belt! I don't even have one!"
Gu Xi had a faint smile on his face, looking doting, and took out another belt.
"Okay, I'll give you the best-looking one, without any monitoring device installed."
As a man, you should pamper him!
