Chapter 1200: Coaxing his wife
Chen Xun shook his head, and before anyone else could speak, he took the lead and said, "As for the Yellow River floods, to put it bluntly, it requires money, but there is no money in the treasury. Unless the Gu family gives money to control the Yellow River, Jiang Shangshu I will never get ahead."
Yang Wenchang also nodded and said in a very embarrassed tone, "That's right, but now the country is short of money everywhere, and even if the Gu family pays, they may not be able to use the Yellow River water to replace it. . What's more, if you really paid for it, why not be the princess? You can still get an identity for free."
Wang Yue waited for the two of them to finish speaking, then said with a smile, "The Gu family has rejected the princess now, which means that you Gu family You have offended the emperor, and now the Yellow River is seriously flooded, and it is impossible for you to support Jiang Shangshu to build the Yellow River. Your Gu family is already on the verge of bankruptcy, and you are still drinking wine in a brothel. I wonder if you are really not afraid of death, or are you ignorant of life and death? "
Gu Jiusi didn't care at first. No one had ever said this to him before, but now after hearing Wang Yue's words, he had to become serious.
He thought for a while and felt that since Wang Yue had spoken out, there might be a solution. He asked with some uncertainty, "Oh, what should our Gu family do in the opinion of Brother Wang?"
Wang Yue smiled and said He said very indifferently, "If it were me, I would support Jiang Shangshu in a high-profile way to build the Yellow River, even if it costs all his wealth." After hearing Wang Yue's words, Gu Jiusi said very dissatisfied, "You
said It sounds good, but the entire country cannot heal the Yellow River. Even if all the property of my Gu family is invested, it may not be possible. Those people are too corrupt." Wang Yue smiled, since the Gu family is reluctant to part with money
. Then he had nothing to say. He immediately brought the topic back and said, "No matter how the money is spent, it is your parents' business. As a son, don't you do something for the family?" Gu Jiusi frowned
. He frowned and said with some displeasure, "If you have something to say, just say it. No need to beat around the bush like this. You know, I don't study well and I don't understand!" This was the first time that Wang Yue saw someone saying that he didn't study well
. At that time, Gu Jiusi was the first one who could speak so confidently.
He glanced at Gu Jiusi with contempt, and his tone became indifferent, "Now is the time for you to beg your wife. With the financial resources of your Gu family and the power of your wife's family, if you can go all out, It's not like we can't protect ourselves in Yangzhou."
Gu Jiusi felt that what Wang Yue said was very reasonable, but for some reason, he always felt a little unhappy with Wang Yue, so he said unhappily, "You don't have to say it, of course I know this. , Otherwise, why would I want to get married?"
Wang Yue saw that this guy was so stubborn, and said sarcastically, "Originally, the Liu family probably wanted to join forces with your Gu family and make a difference in this troubled world, so that's why they agreed I want to marry my daughter into your family, but your recent actions have probably blocked the possibility of cooperation between your two families. It’s really painful for relatives and quick for enemies!" After Wang Yue finished speaking, he turned to
face Chen Xun and Yang Wenchang said, "I think you should stay away from this idiot. I'm really worried that one day you will be implicated by this idiot." Chen Xun and Yang Wenchang both heard that Wang Yue meant well,
but what he said It's just a little unpleasant to hear.
Yang Wenchang didn't want to embarrass everyone, so he quickly said to Wang Yue enthusiastically, "Mr. Wang, in fact, Jiusi must have heard it. He just did it because you made him have to marry a wife at Ye's house last time." It's just a little awkward."
Chen Xun also quickly apologized to Wang Yue. He was very entangled and said, "Mr. Wang, you don't remember the faults of villains. I wonder if you can tell us how to help Jiusi restore the relationship with the Liu family. Marriage."
Wang Yue curled his lips and said disdainfully, "I didn't know this. Since I came to Yangzhou, I have tried to persuade him more than once. However, the Gu family is determined not to go to Qingzhou. I want to come to the Gu family. However, no matter what, if you offend the Liu family again, it may not be so easy to escape."
Yang Wenchang immediately understood what Wang Yue meant, and quickly saw Gu Jiusi and said, "Jiusi, you still have to Listen to my advice, go to Liu's house quickly and invite your sister-in-law back."
Gu Jiusi also knew that everyone was right. It was him who was ignorant of good and evil. He was not the kind of person who would not correct his mistakes, so he awkwardly apologized to Wang Yue, "Brother Wang, I'm really sorry, because the Ye family I blame you for what happened, which is really inappropriate. I apologize to you here."
Wang Yue curled his lips and said nonchalantly, "You don't have to apologize to me, since you don't want to go Qingzhou, I'm afraid there won't be many opportunities to meet in the future, so you'd better go to the Liu family to apologize."
Gu Jiusi saw that Wang Yue didn't want to talk to him, so he quickly stood up and gave Wang Yue a respectful salute, and then said sincerely Said, "Master Wang, please help me, what should I do?"
Wang Yue looked at Gu Jiusi quite sincerely, he rolled his eyes and said with a bad smile, "It's very simple, that is to plead guilty. ."
Gu Jiusi and the other three were stunned when they heard Wang Yue's words. He said with some resistance, "There's no need to be like this, right? Can't I sincerely admit that I was wrong?"
Wang Yue shrugged, and then said casually, "Then you figure it out. Anyway, if your wife hadn't cared about you, don't you think she should have gone back to her parents' house long ago if you caused such a big fight?" Chen Xun also saw that Wang Yue was doing it on purpose
. To tease Gu Jiusi, he nodded quickly and said seriously, "Yes, Jiusi, Brother Wang is right. My sister-in-law has been wronged for you for so long and she refuses to go back to her parents' house to cry. This shows that she has deep love for you." It's heavy."
Yang Wenchang knew what Chen Xun and Wang Yue wanted to do, and after the two of them finished speaking, he quickly persuaded him, "Jiusi, think about it, except when you came back to the door, you gave your sister-in-law a little face. Apart from that, what else do you think is worthy of her?"
Both Wang Yue and Gu Jiusi could see clearly that Chen Xun and Yang Wenchang were just making fun of her and wanted to watch the fun.
But Gu Jiusi also knew that he had no other way to save this marriage except this method.
He didn't know that the matter was already so serious. He thought that no matter what, with his uncle and uncle here, the Gu family would be as stable as Mount Tai, and he would just have to survive the old emperor.
But now it seems that this is not the case at all. Now he understands why these parents are always busy recently, probably arranging a retreat.
Thinking that Wang Yue seemed to be cooperating with their family, he probably knew the inside story, so he was just talking about him for the sake of his friends.
In addition, he had already been provoked by Wang Yue, Chen Xun and others, so he gritted his teeth and determined to be a man for a while and coax his wife back home.
...
So, after Wang Yue and others left the brothel, they rushed to Liu's house.
When passing by a small bamboo forest, Chen Xun asked his servants to break a bamboo pole, then ran back and handed it to Gu Jiusi.
Gu Jiusi looked at the bamboo pole that didn't even have the barbs shaved off, and said in disgust, "What are you doing? Throw it away quickly."
Chen Xun saw that Gu Jiusi regretted it, and said seriously, "We men have to say If we have to do it, since we have to bear the burden of the thorns, we can't discount it. I can't bear the thorns, so let's make do with this bamboo stick." Yang Wenchang clapped quickly and said in agreement, "
Brother Chen You're right. Since you are here to beg your wife to come home, you must show your sincerity, right, Brother Wang?"
Wang Yue looked at these two funny guys and felt that it was time for Gu Jiusi to apologize. , as long as Liu Siyu's heart can be captured, Yangzhou may be able to be stable for a while longer, and it can buy him more time.
So, he nodded in agreement, gave Chen Xun a thumbs up, and then said with great agreement, "Gu Jiusi, think about it, you are just a little aggrieved, compared to the two who are aggrieved by my wife." Yue Ke is much lighter. Think about it for yourself. If you don't show a little sincerity, will your father-in-law let you go? You are not doing it for your wife to see, but for your wife's family to see. !"
Gu Jiusi was stunned for a moment, and he immediately thought that on the day he returned to Men'er, he originally just wanted to give Liu Siyu face and prevent her from returning to her parents' home.
After Nacheng wanted to leave, Liu Siyu didn't say that he had suffered any grievances, so he was called away by his mother-in-law and the two went to talk privately, leaving him to be scolded vigorously by Liu Shiyu's father, the general magistrate of Yangzhou.
The reprimanding process was quite long, and he told all of Gu Jiusi's past bad deeds, and then asked him to change his past, strive to get a good future through the imperial examination, and live up to the injustice suffered by his daughter.
In fact, although Gu Jiusi and Liu Siyu treated each other as guests at the beginning and did not consummate their marriage, the dispute did not reach this level.
It was purely because his father-in-law had reprimanded him too harshly that Gu Jiusi had a rebellious mentality, and now he wanted to reconcile and stay away from Liu Siyu.
Therefore, Wang Yue's mention of Gu Jiusi's father-in-law was indeed a bit intimidating, and he immediately became timid and wanted to go back.
He just gave a random reason and said, "The weather is bad today, let's go tomorrow."
Wang Yue saw that Gu Jiusi was timid again, so he winked at Chen Xun and Yang Wenchang, and then said leisurely, "The first day when my daughter-in-law returns to her parents' home is the best opportunity. The longer it takes to go back, the more angry your father-in-law will be. Do you think you will have a good life?" Chen Xun and Yao Wenchang left quickly
. He stepped forward and grabbed Gu Jiusi from left to right, fearing that he would run away.
Chen Xun also hurriedly persuaded, "That's right, Gu Zhong, when did you become a mother-in-law? If you stick your head out, it's still a knife. If you shrink your head, it's still a knife. Let's go and invite the sister-in-law back, and try to do it before something happens to your uncle. With the efforts of your two families, you can stay in Yangzhou safely."
Yang Wenchang hugged us very hard, and he said firmly, "Let's not talk about anything else, just think about me and Chen Xun. , with the relationship between the three of us, if something happens to your uncle, and our Yangzhou governor wants to take action against your family, do you think the two of us can run away? Now the three of us are relying on you to delay time."
Gu Jiusi was quite a loyal person. He was still reluctant to talk about other things between Wang Yue and Chen Xun, but as soon as Yang Wenchang said that it would affect them, he could no longer move.
So, he said very depressedly, "Okay, okay, it's all up to you! Just let go, I won't leave."
Chen Xun and Yang Wenchang looked at each other and then let go of their hands, but they were still not far away from Gu Jiusi, as if they were afraid that he would run away.
Gu Jiusi was speechless towards his two buddies. He glared at them angrily, and then said to Wang Yue seriously, "What should I do when we arrive at Liu's house in a while? Just don't say anything and just go ahead. Kneel at the gate?"
Wang Yue raised his eyebrows. He didn't say he wanted to kneel, so he said angrily, "Don't tell me, you have a good idea. If you like to kneel, you can really kneel down. , the effect will be better."
While they were talking, they had already arrived at the door of Liu's house. Chen Xun did not wait for Gu Jiusi's answer, and quickly inserted the bamboo strip in his hand from the back of Gu Jiusi's neck to his back. After placing the bamboo strips, I patted them hard, fearing that the bamboo strips would fall off.
Gu Jiusi was disturbed by Chen Xun and quickly wanted to take out the bamboo stick. However, before he could make a move, Yang Wenchang and Chen Xun held his arms on the left and right, making it impossible for him to break free.
Wang Yue originally planned to watch these three buddies having fun, but he saw Liu Yuru and Liu Siyu walking out of Liu's house from a distance.
As soon as he rolled his eyes, he kicked the small stone at his feet and kicked it towards Gu Jiusi's legs and wrists.
He had developed a little internal strength now, and the small stone he kicked up was very powerful. After hitting Gu Jiusi's leg and wrist, he couldn't help but soften his leg and wrist.
At this moment, Chen Xun and Yang Wenchang pulled Gu Jiusi with responsibility and made him kneel on the ground.
Seeing that Gu Jiusi was still struggling, Wang Yue quickly stepped forward and put one hand on Gu Jiusi's shoulder, helping Chen Xun and Yang Wenchang to hold Gu Jiusi down and prevent him from getting up immediately.
At the same time, he whispered to Gu Jiusi, "Your wife is at the door of Liu's house right now, preparing to send my daughter-in-law out. Your chance to show off has come." After hearing this, Gu Jiusi originally wanted to
stand His straight body stopped moving. He felt that he had already knelt down. If he got up now, wouldn't his kneeling be in vain?
So, he stopped moving and shouted loudly, "Daughter-in-law, I was wrong. Come home with me quickly. I promise to listen to you in everything from now on. If you ask me to go east, I dare not go west." You asked me to walk the dog, but I will never chase the chickens!"
Chen Xun and Yang Wenchang also heard Wang Yue's reminder. They didn't expect that they actually caught up. When they were about to ask Gu Jiusi to apologize, they heard what Gu Jiusi shouted. , I got goosebumps all over my body.
