"Pap" "Papa"

In the study on the second floor of an armory shop in the West Market, a woman with a delicate face and a focused expression was skillfully tapping on an abacus, and in front of her was a stack of account books nearly two feet thick.

"Ketang, rest for a while and drink a cup of hot tea." Cui Xiyi gently placed a cup of hot tea next to Guo Ketang.

Guo Ketang glanced up at Cui Xiyi, with a gentle light in his eyes: "Well, thank you, Xiyi, let it go first, and drink it when I finish calculating this account." ”

"Thank you" Cui Xiyi gently touched Guo Ketang's soft hair, and said softly: "You are my daughter-in-law who has not passed the door, do we still need to say thank you?" ”

Guo Ketang's face showed a hint of shyness, he didn't reply, but looked down at the account book, the beads in his hand were counted faster, Cui Xiyi did not urge, but retreated to the side and watched quietly.

After about a quarter of an hour, Guo Ketang finally put down his work and drank Cui Xiyi's newly added hot tea.

"Xiyi, do you really stay in Chang'an for the New Year?"

"No way, the more the festival, the busier our task will be, go to leave, the above really can't be adjusted, Ketang, it's better for you to stay in Chang'an for the New Year, by the way, Zheng Peng's kid will also spend the New Year in Chang'an."

As a small leader of bad people, Cui Xiyi needs to pay a lot more than outsiders, for example, time, Chang'an gathers a large number of outsiders during the New Year, especially the three-day Shangyuan Festival carnival, public security is the top priority, Cui Xiyi has grown into the backbone of the bad people, and he must lead by example.

Guo Ketang shook his head and said: "The family is waiting to go back to pay the accounts and dividends, it's okay, I will go back to Chang'an after the New Year, now the focus of the family's business is here, as for Zheng Gongzi, remember how close you are to him." ”

"Well, when are you leaving Beijing?"

"Settle accounts with Zheng Gongzi."

While the two were talking, a subordinate voice came from outside the door: "Miss, Zheng Gongzi is downstairs, saying that he wants to see you." ”

What a coincidence, as soon as Zheng Peng was discussed, Zheng Peng came, and Guo Ketang immediately said, "Please." ”

Zheng Peng arrived on the second floor, saw Cui Xiyi and Guo Ketang together, paused for a moment, and immediately said with a smile: "It's not the right time, why don't you come back another day?" ”

"No, no" Guo Ketang hurriedly said: "Zheng Gongzi, I was trying to reconcile with you, if you don't come again, the little girl will come to your house to find you." ”

"Brother Xiyi, you are... It's done? When will it arrive? Zheng Peng patted Cui Xiyi's shoulder and whispered in Cui Xiyi's ear.

In the past, Guo Ketang didn't give Cui Xiyi a bad face, and kept him away, but now the two are on the first floor, and there is not even a subordinate, it is clear that Cui Xiyi has finally touched Fang's heart.

"Hehe, this matter has to be thanked to Brother Feiteng, it is your proposal, Ketang went to Chang'an to develop, and there are more opportunities to get close, this is called the first month near the water, and I mentioned my relatives a month ago, just waiting for the auspicious day, the auspicious day is in June next year, they are all brothers, and they must arrive then." Cui Xiyi was as happy as a child.

Zheng Peng punched him on the shoulder: "Okay, I finally hugged the beauty, rest assured, even if no one is there, the ceremony will also arrive." ”

A good partner marries a good brother, and Zheng Peng is really happy for them.

"It's all brothers, what's rude" Cui Xiyi said with a straight face: "It doesn't matter if the ceremony doesn't arrive, people must arrive." ”

"Good!" Zheng Peng said succinctly.

Cui Xiyi has nothing to say to himself, when he was in your hometown, he took advantage of him and used him as a gunman, but Cui Xiyi didn't mind at all, when he was in the Western Regions, it was Cui Xiyi who took the risk of violating the rules to advise himself, this love, Zheng Peng has always remembered.

"You two, when you meet each other, you hide to the side and whisper, you don't have a big living person like me in your eyes, do you?" Guo Ketang pretended to be angry and said.

Zheng Peng said with a smile: "It's nothing, let's discuss going to Pingkangfang later to have fun, what's the matter, Miss Guo is also interested?" ”

"What?" Guo Ketang raised his eyebrows: "You have to go and drink flower wine." ”

is talking about "you", but Guo Ketang is looking at Cui Xiyi.

Cui Xiyi's face changed instantly, and he waved his hand again and again and said, "No, no, Feiteng is joking, just now I invited him to our wedding." ”

Speaking of this, Cui Xiyi took Zheng Peng's hand and said pitifully: "Feiteng, you don't want a shocking bloody case here, it's my brother's quick clarification for me." ”

The country is easy to change, the nature is difficult to change, Guo Fu was at the lowest point, Guo Ketang's status was not high, Cui Xiyi was eaten to death by Guo Ketang, and now Guo Fu and Guo Ketang's status has been greatly improved, and Cui Xiyi is even more obedient to Guo Ketang.

Of course, Cui Xiyi is not really afraid of Guo Ketang, but spoils her and doesn't want her to be unhappy.

Zheng Peng said with a smile: "Miss Guo, Brother Xiyi was indeed inviting me to the wedding just now, and said that he would not let me in if the ceremony was light. ”

After a pause, Zheng Peng blinked and said, "It's a matter of time before the two of you have a bloody case, it's not unusual, just waiting for you to get killed." ”

When speaking, Zheng Peng deliberately lengthened the sounds of "bloody case" and "human life", Cui Xiyi and Guo Ketang are both smart people, and they heard the sound of the strings at once, Cui Xiyi's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he was a little ready to move, and Guo Ketang made a big red face on the spot.

If you don't fight back, it's definitely not Guo Ketang's character, and he quickly rolled his eyes and said: "I used to think that Zheng Gongzi was a literati full of wealth, but now I find out that he is a with a bad belly." ”

Zheng Peng laughed: "Don't say that, you must know that things are gathered by like, people are grouped, we are all the same kind of people, and if you hurt me, you will lose yourself." ”

The three of them looked at each other, then each laughed.

Cui Xiyi finished laughing, waved his hand to Zheng Peng and said, "Okay, the hour is about the same, and I will be on duty in a while, so let's talk." ”

"It's not to avoid suspicion, with your relationship, you don't have to do this, right?"

"It's true that you are on duty, and it's true to avoid suspicion, don't look at us getting engaged, but Tang is very clear, and she doesn't let me pay attention to her family's affairs at all, let alone these accounts."

Guo Ketang said with a serious face: "That is, marrying you does not mean that everything belongs to your Cui family, even the accounts of husband and wife must be clear." ”

Cui Xiyi smiled, shrugged at Zheng Peng, and left with a smile on his face.

Waiting for Cui Xiyi to leave, Zheng Peng sat down by himself and said with interest: "Okay, your secrecy work is very good, you are all engaged, I don't know anything about it, if it is not a coincidence, I don't know when I will hide it." ”

Guo Ketang sat back in his seat and said a little lazily: "No way, those who come to the door to talk about matchmaking, are about to step on the threshold, those so-called sons, one is more unreliable than the other, annoying to death, think about it, it's better to cheap him, at least he is obedient enough." ”

When Zheng Peng heard this, he just smiled and didn't discuss the topic.

Think about it, Cui Xiyi and Guo Ketang, these two people are a match made in heaven.

Guo Ketang has a strong personality and doesn't like to be restrained, Cui Xiyi is an illegitimate child, his status is somewhat special, and he stands on his own early, although he will take care of it a little less, but the advantage is that he does not have to be controlled by his elders, which is exactly what Guo Ketang wants, and Cui Xiyi looks like a human being, and has a heart for Guo Ketang, which is a very good choice for Guo Ketang.

Of course, Guo Ketang's ability to do business can also be a boost for Cui Xiyi's progress, even if it is your hometown Guo Mansion, there is no need to worry about the business in his hand being seized by the Qinghe Cui family.

After Guo Ketang sat down, he said straight to the point: "Zheng Gongzi, there are no outsiders here, let's not beat around the bush when we speak, just say it." ”

"Straight to the point!" Zheng Peng nodded.

"I'm very interested in the cement you used to repair the house, I hope you can hand it over to the little woman to take care of, and you can open it casually in terms of conditions."

As he spoke, Guo Ketang stared at Zheng Peng, with a look of hope in his eyes.

The huge profits of braised meat made Guo Fu pay more and more attention to Zheng Peng, not only responding to Zheng Peng's requests, but also arranging people to pay attention to Zheng Peng's actions to see if there was anything that needed help.

In particular, Zheng Peng's status has risen, and Guo Fu has paid more and more attention to it.

When Zheng Peng built a new house, Guo Fu borrowed all his capable craftsmen, and knew about the existence of cement very early.

"Seriously, I also want to cooperate with Miss Guo" Zheng Peng said frankly: "However, I believe in the truth of Huaibi's guilt, Miss Guo also knows that the matter of cement, it seems that the court also attaches importance to it, and I am afraid that it will be a blessing or a curse." ”

Guo Ketang thought for a while, and finally nodded and said: "That's right, now Guo Mansion is being targeted by many people, if it weren't for the connections left by the predecessors, maybe he would have made someone else's wedding dress a long time ago, as long as he keeps the current business, he will be satisfied." ”

Zheng Peng said with a relaxed face: "Don't worry, at least in the near future, no one will dare to make up your mind." ”

"That's" Guo Ketang said with a look of agreement: "Now Zheng Gongzi is the backer of the little woman, and now he is up and down in the middle of the court, who doesn't know that Zheng Gongzi and Gao Gong are on the bus." ”

"Father-in-law Gao can give a few thin noodles." Zheng Peng did not deny it.

The relationship with Colliers was originally good, but after pulling him into the Three Treasures, the relationship was further strengthened, Zheng Peng was very confident that if there was a need, Colliers would give himself a head.

"There are difficulties in business, I believe that Zheng Gongzi will be duty-free, if the little woman is in difficulty, will Zheng Gongzi help?" Guo Ketang's voice changed, and he suddenly asked.

Zheng Peng looked at Guo Ketang, frowned and said, "Seeing that he is about to get married, the people of the Guo Mansion, do you want Miss Guo to be out?" ”

"Papapa" Guo Ketang clapped his palms and said: "It's really worry-free to talk to Zheng Gongzi, and he was guessed before he said it." ”

After getting engaged to Cui Xiyi, those who were jealous of Guo Ketang's status jumped out one after another, pointing out that after Guo Ketang got married, he should no longer control the family business of Guo Fu, because they believed that the married woman was like water spilled out, and Guo Ketang was openly and secretly handed over power.

The elders of the Guo Mansion have not yet expressed their position, but they let the situation develop, and while they are waiting, it is actually a kind of acquiescence, Guo Ketang, who takes his career very seriously, sensed the crisis, so he asked Zheng Peng for help.
