Chapter 282 Su Jinxiu Arrives in Ganzhou County
"What did you say?" Su Jinyu and Wen Jiu said in unison, and even Su Jinmu couldn't help but look up.
"Uh... uh, it's what happened before Coco disappeared."
"Then..." Wen Jiu was about to say something but remembered that Gu Xiao seemed to be here too, so she didn't dare to speak anymore. After all, Keke was her sister-in-law now and must be in the Prime Minister's Mansion. If Gu Xiao went back and reported to Emperor Yuan, then...regardless of what the Prime Minister would do, it was unknown what kind of punishment her brother and Keke would receive.
"My Lady, just pretend I don't exist. I will only work for the Great Court when it comes to national affairs. I am only loyal to the Great Court. As long as you are not rebelling or collaborating with the enemy, I don't think I will report anything to the Emperor. Besides, my Lady has saved my life, why should I be afraid? You can repay the favor. I am also a good friend of Su San. Don't worry, I may give you some advice. Who knows?" Gu Xiao spoke out their concerns in a dignified manner.
Su Jinxiu blurted out everything from the beginning to the end.
Everyone present was stunned and dared not speak. Wen Xi actually used Xue's freedom in exchange for Coco's safety.
Everyone looked at Wen Jiu. She didn't say anything, which made people even more unpredictable. Wen Jiu was furious at this time. Next time she encountered such a situation, she would kill him directly to eliminate the trouble. Wen Ziqi actually dared to threaten her brother and wanted to see their brother-sister relationship break up. It would be fine as she wished! Wait for her to return to Beijing. She even dared to hurt Xuan Xing. I think Xiao Qing'er's war standing is about to expire!
She smiled evilly, and Su Jinyu quickly shouted, "Jiu'er, don't be sad. This is probably Xi'er's expedient measure. You must not be provoked by her."
"Brother, you have to follow her wishes, otherwise there will be no drama to watch after returning to Beijing, it will be boring to death" Wen Jiu smiled
Everyone understood, and immediately asked someone to write a letter in Su Jinxiu's name, saying that the relationship between the siblings had broken down, and to spread the word. It just so happened that Qingli had gone back first, and she was fanning the flames... It wasn't long before Wen Ziqi received the news. She and Xue hugged each other and laughed. They were still planning how to get Mo Liang out. Now the Fifth Prince could be said to be responsive to her every request, and was very respectful to Xue. He even spread the word that he respected and honored his mother-in-law. Rumors spread on both sides. Those who supported it thought that the Fifth Prince didn't care about the status system and loved the Fifth Imperial Concubine very much. Those who opposed it believed that he should follow the rules left by their ancestors, that there was a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, not to mention that she was a concubine, which was a loss to her royal status.
Wen Jiu took Su Jinxiu to visit Ganzhou County. They went to Zuixianlou for dinner. The table was full of seafood, which was delicious and tasty. However, he was a little hesitant to eat it because Jiuer said it was a trap worm.
Baizhi and Xuanling peeled a bowl for him and asked him to taste it.
Su Jinxiu gave him face and put it in his mouth to taste it. It didn't matter that he couldn't stop eating it. Then it was crab. Gu Xiao picked up a crab. Su Jinxiu looked at his complicated steps and didn't want to do it, but he was very elegant.
"Here, try it. The county lady just taught me this yesterday." Gu Xiao pushed it to Su Jinxiu.
He didn't hesitate and picked up a bowl of crab roe and started eating, his mouth full of fragrance. "It smells so good, what is this wine called?"
"Crab, you eat the crab roe, the one next to it is the crab meat, the crab roe is also made into soup, you try it, the crabs were just served yesterday, you came at the right time." Wen was about to serve him a bowl, but Gu Xiao got there first, "Let me do it, I'll sit next to him, I'm closer."
Wen Jiuyang's hand in the air stopped, and he quickly said, "Thank you, Governor." He stared at Gu Xiao.
Su Jinxiu was immersed in the food. When he put down his chopsticks, he was full at noon.
"It's a waste to open this store here. If there was a store like this in Beijing, it would be packed with customers." He wiped his mouth and stretched.
"I want to bring some back for my grandparents to try," Su Jinxiu looked at the table full of miniature delicacies.
"Don't worry, your powerful sister, the county princess, has already organized a maritime caravan. They were supposed to set sail today, but it looks like you won't be able to catch up." Su Jinyu's tone was full of pride.
"Wow, Jiu'er, you are worthy of being my sister. You are really amazing. Then wait for two days. I will be there soon..." Su Jinxiu's eyes were full of stars.
"Uh, brother, today is the day when the governor returns to the capital. It's not good to keep you. You can do it next time you come." Wen Jiu chuckled
"It's okay. It's not a big deal to go back to Beijing anyway. The prisoner will be locked up for a few more days. You can sell the seafood above to Zuixianlou first, and buy more when you leave." Gu Xiao's series of actions made Wen Jiu and Su Jinyu frown. What does this mean? He is obviously in a hurry to leave!
"Great, then I'll keep the governor company for a few more days and take a look at Ganzhou County. I think it's not as bad as the legend said. The streets are clean and there are no beggars. Where did they all go?" Su Jinxiu asked
"Have you been the eldest brother for these few months in vain?" Wen Jiu said with a smile
Su Jinxiu looked at Su Jinxiu as if he had suddenly realized something. Yes, there really seems to be nothing that cannot be solved where there is a big brother. It has been like this since childhood.
"Brother, tell me about it. I want to hear about your heroic deeds." Su Jinxiu turned into a little fanboy
"Stop talking nonsense. You just did what you were supposed to do. How can you say you are a hero?" Su Jinyu said with a smile.
"I'll take you to the dock later. I'll tell you, Lord Su might be embarrassed, but the county lady has been a great contributor in the past few years," Gu Xiao said as he wiped his hands.
"Wine?"
"You are too kind, Lord Governor. I will go with you later. Big brother, you take care of government affairs, I will look after little brother." Wen Jiu looked at Su Jinyu and suggested
Su Jinyu knew what Wen Jiu meant. She wanted to see clearly why Gu Xiao treated Jin Xiu differently, or what he could gain from Jin Xiu? What was his purpose?
"I told you not to call me little brother. Third brother sounds better than little brother." Su Jinxiu was not satisfied.
"Brother" warms the wine to tease him deliberately
"Call me Third Brother" Su Jin revised
Everyone laughed as they watched the two quarrel.
"Just call me brother." Wen Jiu ignored him and shouted behind him. Instead, he pushed Su Jinyu downstairs, paid the bill, and separated in front of Zuixianlou.
"Jiu'er, is the dock big? How did you subdue them at that time?"
"Speaking of this, I'll introduce someone to you later." Wen Jiu raised an eyebrow. Gu Xiao had a bad idea in his mind. Would she introduce that Mr. Xu?
Along the way, Gu Xiao told him about the situation when Wenjiu and his sister first arrived here. He shortened the story a lot, leaving out the dross, but the essence was still there. He asked and answered questions along the way, which made her, the client, feel a lot more relaxed. She clearly saw Gu Xiao drinking cup after cup of tea to moisten his throat. I guess he must have spoken more words today than he usually does in a year? He usually saves words like gold, but today he poured out all his words.
"Miss, we've arrived at the pier." Xuan Ling tapped on the window
"Hey, we'll continue the talk tonight. Let's pause for now." Su Jinxiu got out of the car and waited there, ready to bring down the warm wine. As a result, he stretched out his hand. Gu Xiao hesitated for a moment and stretched it out.
