Chapter 899: The Fire Is Not Waiting
In fact, this is also unreasonable, because although Patriarch Xia is not from a bad background, he is not a court official after all.
However, Patriarch Xia was the most valuable guest he invited this time, and Guo Haoshou was counted as one of the hosts of the banquet, and it was reasonable to be the first to be on the right hand.
As for whether the other two accompanying officials will be dissatisfied, that is not within his consideration.
It's just that now that Gu Chengyu is here, and his identity is still Qincha, it is impossible for him to be subservient to the Xia Patriarch, right?
Even if he relinquishes the throne now, it is not too much. But today he is the master, and in the final analysis, he and Gu Chengyu are at the same level, even if they don't let it, Gu Chengyu can't find anything wrong.
Just as Li Taixing was hesitating whether to give up his seat, Xia Mingqun stood up very knowingly and stepped aside.
Li Taixing immediately understood, and hurriedly asked his subordinates to place the seat in front of Li Taixing.
In his heart, he felt very relieved of Patriarch Xia's empathy.
"The old man Xia Mingqun, the patriarch of the Xia clan, visited Lord Qincha, who traveled thousands of miles from the capital to Jiangnan for disaster relief, which is the blessing of the people of Jiangnan!"
As soon as Gu Chengyu sat down, Patriarch Xia smiled and complimented.
"Patriarch Xia is polite, this official is also here on the emperor's orders, I don't deserve Patriarch Xia's praise."
Gu Chengyu put the Shang Fang Sword in his hand on the table and replied with a smile.
Everyone in the room immediately turned their attention to the tightly wrapped object on the table, which should be a sword in such a shape.
Li Taixing immediately understood, this is the Shang Fang sword given by the emperor, right?
Seeing this, Guo Tongzhi couldn't help but feel refreshed. Li Taixing thought that if he got married to Xia Shoufu, he would really be able to rise to prominence?
He heard that the Lord Qincha in front of him was a popular person in front of the emperor, and he was very respected by the emperor.
This time I came to Jiangnan for disaster relief, and before I arrived in Jiangnan, I had already been promoted to three levels in a row, which shows how strong the holy family is.
Mrs. Li acted against Xia Qing against this person, of course, it was unwise.
Because the emperor's intention is already very obvious, this is to support this person to become the upstart of the court.
If he offended Gu Shaoqing at this time, he saw that even if Li Taixing hugged his thigh, it would be impossible for him to retreat.
After all, what is Li Taixing in Xia Shoufu's eyes? If Min Feng hadn't come to Jiangnan, Xia Shoufu would have been able to write to Li Taihang in person?
I don't weigh my own pounds, people are self-aware, and they are always whimsical, but they can't help it.
The fighting method of these two people, he Li Taixing is inserted in the middle, and there must be no good fruit to eat.
This Gu Chengyu is not easy to mess with at first glance, Li Taixing can be regarded as kicking the iron plate this time.
Guo Tongzhi couldn't help but gloat in his heart, his eyes rolled, and he planned to add fuel to the fire. If Li Taixing completely offended Gu Shaoqing, it would be impossible to say that the prefect's seat would be vacant.
Gu Chengyu saw the dishes on the table, there were fish and meat, um! Very well, he is hungry and panicked, so let's eat first.
Gu Chengyu was happy to eat with his hand, but everyone in the side hall looked at each other, and no one dared to speak rashly.
Everyone had to watch the pair of plain hands fly up and down, eating elegantly and quickly.
After a while, the plates on the table were more than half empty. After not eating for a day, Gu Chengyu was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back.
Mingmo looked at everyone with fierce eyes, and the hand pressed on the hilt of the sword. It seems that if anyone disturbs his family's meal, he must try the sword in his hand.
Gu Chengyu wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, he was full of food and drink, and then it was time to get down to business.
Raising his head, he found that everyone was staring at him motionlessly, Gu Chengyu couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
"This feast is not to your taste? Why don't you sit still, everyone, you're welcome, eat and drink well! ”
This down-to-earth sentence almost made Li Taixing so angry that he fainted, he was the master of the family, how could it not be his turn to ask Gu Chengyu, right?
"Today's banquet is not to everyone's taste, the official doesn't know, but it seems to be quite in line with Lord Gu's taste!"
Li Taixing glanced at the plate on the table meaningfully, whether it was delicious or not, you were about to eat it up, didn't you?
Gu Chengyu nodded matter-of-factly, "It's okay!" It's just that the fish is not tender enough, and the crystal elbow can't be heated, so the rest is okay! ”
commented so seriously that everyone present was dumbfounded, and it also made the blue tendons on the forehead of Li Taixing, who was the first, jump.
"Master Gu, I heard that you were still presiding over the overall situation in Hangtian Mansion two days ago, why did you appear in this official mansion today, but what happened?"
Li Taixing was finally able to empathize with Xia Shoufu, no wonder Xia Shoufu said in the letter that Gu Chengyu was difficult to entangle.
He understood now that this man was a scoundrel.
"Huh? Don't you know? The official came with the victims. Gu Chengyu glanced at Li Taihang in surprise, and suddenly felt that someone next to him was approaching him.
A pair of soft wattles were about to be placed on Shang Fang's sword, and Mingmo immediately grabbed the opponent's wrist.
"What for?" He raised his sword eyebrows, startling the owner of the hand.
Gu Chengyu heard the sound and looked over and saw that it was a girl holding a tray.
This girl should have been standing behind and serving, but now she was grabbed by Mingmo's hands, and she suddenly panicked.
Seeing Gu Chengyu looking over, she hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Please also ask your lord to forgive me, the slave just wants to put things aside, so as not to be splashed by the soup." The slave doesn't know that the thing can't move, and asks the adults to open the net, please be gracious! ”
Gu Chengyu glanced at this girl, and saw that the other party lowered his head and kowtowed vigorously. He thought that this girl might not know the rules, so he planned to let her go.
But he had always been cautious, so he said, "Raise your head!" ”
The girl heard the young man ask her to raise her head, and the red glow instantly covered her cheeks, she was shy and timid, and raised her head slightly.
Gu Chengyu noticed that there was shyness, admiration, hope, and a little fear in her eyes, so she had no other special emotions.
He waved his hand, "Stand down!" ”
He has tea and ink to serve, and he doesn't like outsiders to be around him.
The eyes of the officials and businessmen in the hall lit up, and Patriarch Xia and Li Taixing glanced at each other with a look of understanding in their eyes.
People are not romantic teenagers, which teenagers do not admire Shaoai?
Li Taixing glanced at the girl several times just now, and found that this girl was very beautiful, he wondered a little, why hadn't he seen it before?
However, he thought that this was just bought and trained by the house, so he didn't care. As long as Gu Chengyu has some thoughts about this woman, then why should he give this woman to the other party? This is a good time to calculate Gu Chengyu.
This person is not as old as Min Feng, and even Min Feng can't escape the gentle township, so Gu Chengyu is about the same.
Anyway, pushing yourself and others, all of you here are men, who dares to say that they don't like beautiful women?
