Chapter 646： :Fortune favors fools

Gu Xueting made a deep bow to Shen Xing, "Thank you little brother for saving your life."

Shen Xing hurriedly went to help him, "Mr. Gu, you have helped me before. Stop giving such a big gift."

At this time, both Pei Fei and Zhou Da rushed over. They quickly dismounted and ran to Gu Xueting. They pulled him and looked him up and down, "Gu Jiu, are you okay?"

Zhou Da's face turned pale: "That horse was originally mine, but who would have thought..."

Today is the Qingming Festival, and ordinary bosses have to go out of the city to pay homage to their ancestors, and the royal family members are no exception. Early in the morning, the royal honor guard sets off to the imperial mausoleum.

The royal family's sacrificial process was lengthy and solemn, and it seemed to Gu Xueting and the others that it was too boring, so they secretly slipped out on horseback and wanted to stroll around nearby.

That crazy horse was originally Zhou Da's mount, but Gu Xueting did not ride a horse this time, but rode a carriage, so Zhou Da gave his horse to him and took one from the guard.

Who would have thought that the horse would go crazy without any problems?

If Gu Xueting hadn't handled it properly, he would have been thrown off by the crazy horse, and would have been seriously injured even if he didn't die.

If it were Zhou Da, the consequences would be even more serious, because Zhou Da is a bit fat and his movements are not as flexible as Gu Xueting's.

"I'm fine, thanks to this little brother for saving me." Gu Xueting said sideways.

"So it's you." Pei Fei said in surprise when he saw Shen Xing and punched him in the chest. "You saved Gu Jiu, you are my Pei Fei's brother. If anything happens in the future, just come to me."

Zhou Da’s focus is: “Aren’t you the owner of the braised food stall?”

This month, Zhou Dake has been frequenting braised food stalls and is very familiar with Shen Xing.

Shen Xing scratched the back of his head and smiled naively at the three of them.

Gu Xueting bowed formally to Mr. Shen again, "Brother Shen saved my life today, I will definitely come to thank you someday."

Shen said warmly: "Master Gu, you are serious. Even if Xiaoxing doesn't take action, someone will always take action to save you."

Gu Xueting smiled slightly and was noncommittal.

Seeing Shen Yizhi, who was held in Shen's arms, looking at him with a pair of big round eyes, he felt something strange in his heart. He subconsciously smiled at her, took off a Pisces pendant he had with him, and handed it to her. She said, "Let's play with it."

Shen hesitated for a moment, then motioned to Shen Yizhi to put it away.

On the way back, Shen didn't say a word. Shen Yizhi and Shen Xing exchanged glances.

After returning home, Mrs. Shen sat down on the chair at the top of the hall. Her first words were: "Xiao Xing, kneel down."

Even though Shen Xing didn’t understand, he still knelt down without saying a word.

Shen Yizhi, taking advantage of his young age, took Shen's hand and asked, "Mom, did Little Xingxing do something wrong?"

Shen: "Xiao Xing, tell me, what did you do wrong?"

Shen Xing: “…” He doesn’t know either.

Racking his brains to recall what he had done today, he suddenly realized something and felt that he might have thought about where his mother was angry.

“Mother, Mr. Gu has helped me before, I can’t just sit back and do nothing.”

Shen Shi sighed, "Mom, I don't blame you for saving people, but... have you ever thought about what Zhizhi and I would do if you failed to save people and got yourself involved instead?"

Shen Xing lowered his head and said, "Mom, I didn't think much about it at the time."

He knelt down in front of Mrs. Shen and said, "Mom, I was wrong. I will definitely not take action casually next time."

Mrs. Shen stroked his head, "It's not that Mom doesn't want you to save people, but she wants you to consider the consequences before saving people. You are a good boy, but you are a little impulsive in doing things. Okay, get up. , don’t hurt your knees.”

Two days later, Gu Xueting came to the door with his servants and brought a cart full of gifts.

In addition to expressing his gratitude, he also proposed that he would like Shen Xing to come to work by his side.

In this era, there was no imperial examination system. The imperial court selected talents either through recommendation or through shadowing, which meant inheriting official titles, connections, etc. from their fathers. However, the latter method was only applicable to the children of aristocratic families.

Ordinary people who want to get ahead can only choose to join a high-ranking family, and then enter the officialdom through the recommendation of powerful and prestigious people.

As the direct grandson of the Gu family, Gu Xueting's future has been paved for a long time. All he has to do is wait for him to grow up and follow the path arranged for him by his elders step by step.

In this process, he also needs to cultivate his own people.

Shen Xing's action of knocking down Crazy Horse and saving him the day before yesterday left a deep impression on him. He decided to recruit him at that time. However, in the past two days, he had not been able to take care of the investigation of Crazy Horse. Today, he was able to escape and he immediately came to the door. Visited.

Shen Xing was naturally very happy and almost jumped up on the spot.

If you can work with Gu Xueting, the benefits will undoubtedly be huge. If nothing else, at least no one will dare to point fingers at their family because they don't have an adult man.

He almost agreed immediately, but at least he restrained himself and looked at Shen inquiringly.

Gu Xueting also looked over.

He always felt that the woman in front of him had some unusual temperament like that of a city woman.

Facing Shen Xing's earnest eyes, Mrs. Shen could hardly say no, but it was only almost. In order to avoid exposing her identity, Shen Xing had better not get too close to those members of the aristocratic family.

"Thank you Mr. Gu for your respect for Xiaoxing. It's just that Xiaoxing is only eight years old. He is used to Xiaoye and has no rules. If he follows you, if he offends the noble man, the result may be unbearable for the little woman. I hope you can forgive me.”

Gu Xueting couldn't help but be surprised after hearing her words. Looking at Shen Xing's size, he thought he was at least thirteen or fourteen years old, but he didn't expect that he was only eight years old, which was indeed too young.

 And what Shen said later is not unreasonable. Although he is the direct grandson of the Gu family, there are still many people who want to do harm to him and cannot touch him. Those people may start with the people around him.

If Shen Xing comes to his side, he will bear the brunt of difficulties from all sides.

Thinking of this, Gu Xueting had no choice but to give up, "I didn't think carefully about the boat trip."

He handed Shen Xing a small rosewood plaque, "If Brother Shen has anything to do in the future, just come to me with this wooden plaque."

After saying that, he didn’t stay any longer and said goodbye and left.

Shen Xing took a look at the wooden sign and saw no flowers. Seeing that Shen Yizhi was curious, he simply handed it to her, "Zhizhi, please keep it for me."

After the incident of hiding the gold hairpin earlier, Shen Xing has now become accustomed to letting Shen Yizhi take care of the valuables at home, without treating her like an ignorant four-year-old girl.

Of course, Shen Yizhi is not a real four-year-old girl. She has lived up to Shen Xing's trust every time. She has hidden things for him so that no one can find them, and she can take them out immediately when she needs them.

"Xiao Xing, my mother won't let you go to Mr. Gu's side, you won't blame your mother in your heart, right?" Mrs. Shen touched Shen Xing's head.

Shen Xing shook his head, "Why should I blame you, mother? I know you must be doing it for my own good. If you don't want to go, just don't go. It's no big deal. If I go, won't our braised food stall not be able to open?"

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Shen couldn't help but be amused by him. She sighed with a smile and murmured: "It's good that fools are lucky."
