Xie Jingxi ordered a whole table of dishes.
"My wife, although we have silver, it's not too good to waste it. Can you finish it all with that little bit of appetite of yours?"
Xie Jingxi arrogantly opened the fish's belly with her chopsticks, picking up the most delicious piece, she then spat out a fish bone leisurely, "Or, you can say that it's expensive, the taste is not the best, but the fish is very fresh, it's better than eating those half-dead fish in Beijing, but it's still a little lacking compared to our Hangzhou, no, what do you mean, if you don't finish eating it, you should taste it, alright?
"Fine, that's too good. My wife loves you." Gu Yun gave her a bowl of soup, "Don't eat too much, drink some soup first, and don't eat too full. I'll bring you to a more delicious place tonight."
Xie Jingxi looked at him, "I noticed that you seem to be familiar with everything. Is there anywhere in this world that you haven't been to before?"
"Yes, this is just a small place like this. Jinling City isn't even a big place, so it's normal for you to come here. If you want to go anywhere else, I can probably let you eat. If you follow me, you won't suffer any losses."
Xie Jingxi was too lazy to bother with his face anymore, she scooped up a spoonful of tender tofu and fed it to him. Gu Yun devoured it sweetly, as if he had eaten a spoonful of honey, "My wife, you are so filial.
"What's wrong with the tofu? It's a good item and a great tonic." She also scooped up a spoonful and felt that the taste was quite good, "Jiangnan's tofu is better than Beijing's. Sigh, no matter where I look at it, it's better than Beijing's."
Gu Yun laughed, "It's not necessarily pleasing to the eye, what I've seen with Song Yanting before, was that time at the Beijing hall?"
"Un, it's just a piece of mouse sh * t. It's not too annoying. At most, we'll have to make an enemy out of it."
"Last time I was at a disadvantage, my family's Xi has always been a remarkable woman who would always take revenge. I have a premonition that this kid is going to suffer."
Xie Jingxi stared at him, "You must be enjoying yourself to watch this play, do you know why I dared to do this, it's because I'm following behind you, next time, take the initiative, I feel that if I meet him again, it might explode."
"Fine, I'm just a follower. You can play however you want. You don't have the patience to teach anyone a lesson. Just a glance is enough, I guarantee you that his parents won't recognize me."
Xie Jingxi burst out laughing, "Hey, Gu Xuanchen, why didn't I realize you were so poor before?"
"Isn't this the same as my wife releasing herself? Since you've gotten to know me better, then get to know me more thoroughly. I don't want my wife to always be afraid of me."
"I am more interested in the person beside Song Yanting, I feel that your gaze is not normal, Song Yanting is going back and forth with such a person, I wonder if Song Yanchen knows about it?"
Gu Yun's eyes were deep and secretive. "If I'm not wrong, he should be the biggest salt gang leader in Jiangnan, Liao Yuntian."
"Unorthodox, private salt?"
Gu Yun nodded, "Your eyesight is pretty good. The underworld could tell at a glance, so let me tell you this. Remember when I went to Jing Prefecture, the one who came out to rob the ship was the underworld's salt tunnel."
Xie Jingxi raised her eyebrows. "Liao Yuntian sought trouble with you?"
"You can't put it like that. The Salt Clan is rather complicated. Once we get to Liao Yuntian, he won't be so stupid as to rob the official ship. It was his subordinates who did it, or rather, those who disagree with him."
"But from the looks of his eyes, he does not seem to have any good intentions. Furthermore, Song Yanting is with him, does Song Yanchen know about this, there shouldn't be anything wrong with this place, right?"
"First of all, Liao Yuntian and I are naturally opposing sides. Since Song Yanchen is on the streets, he has to get along with everything, and too clean people can't get along, not only will they not oppose each other, there's a high possibility that they will cooperate as well. As for Song Yanting, this is a family matter for their own family, and we can't even talk about it, I am now an undisciplined slut who can't even get close to the imperial court, so there's nothing they can do about it."
These words reminded Xie Jingxi that she would have to get involved in everything. As for Shen Huanzhi, he felt that she should get involved even if she had suddenly gotten used to everything, and he had a faint feeling that she must have gotten involved in quite a lot.
But what Gu Yun said was right, they had nothing to do with anyone else for now, so they did not harass him when they had nothing to do with each other, and if they thought too much, there was no difference between that and in the capital.
Eating more made her full. If not for wanting to tempt Gu Yun to eat more, she would have stopped eating long ago, but Gu Yun had even less food than her, so the food was packed and sent to the beggars along the way.
"You must have despised me when I entered that restaurant." The two of them wandered around aimlessly on the street. Xie Jingxi bought a string of candied fruits to relieve the greasy taste, "Just like a bumpkin who doesn't know how to eat good stuff, if you don't know how to pick it then it's expensive. It's indeed not that delicious.
Gu Yun scratched the center of her palm, "It's not too bad, this family is quite famous, I just stayed on the boat and lost my appetite."
Therefore, Xie Jingxi did not want to concentrate on following him around. Gu Yun seemed to be very familiar with Jinling and he did not hesitate to follow him wherever he went, following him and he did not have to worry about it too much, arriving near the evening on the Qin Huai River. Currently, the time that Gu Yun had set up for the Qin Huai River was just right around the corner, it was still not dark, it was enough for him to use his eyes to picture the magnificent scenery of Qin Huai within ten li.
"Compared to the West Lake, this place is filled with fire and smoke."
"You went to the West Lake, followed by Shen Huanzhi?"
Xie Jingxi, "..."
He really guessed it, she was indeed going with Shen Huanzhi.
"Do you know how to calculate?"
Gu Yun smiled and looked at her, "Is there even a need to pinch me? When you were growing up in Yuhang, it was unlikely for a little girl to run to the West Lake herself. I'm afraid even Grandmother cannot accompany you, who else could it be other than Shen Huanzhi."
Xie Jingxi squinted at him, "I realized that you are not scary anymore, why are you asking me to beat you up like that?"
"Really? Then why don't you just pinch me again?"
"Fuck you!" Xie Jingxi wanted to push him, but she didn't. She wanted to shake off his hand, but she didn't shake it off.
"Don't make a fuss, there are many people here, be careful of losing them." Gu Yun firmly grabbed her and pulled her to his side, whispering in her ear, "This is kind of like getting angry from embarrassment, huh. I didn't think too much about it, explain it, what was your mood back then?"
"What kind of mood could I have? I was only eight or nine years old, and he was only half my age, not even taller than me. It was my birthday, and in order to satisfy my wish, he sneakily brought me here. He almost got beaten to death by his brother when he came back."
"So it's like that, it's pretty infuriating. If I were his brother, I'd definitely be beaten to death."
"No, he's mad at you for what?"
"He kidnapped my wife ah, he never had any good intentions since he was young. If it wasn't for my quick actions, he would have taken her away a long time ago. This won't do, he's too scheming."
"Pei, you still haven't forgotten to praise yourself. If I wanted to meet you at that time, you would have already sold yourself out."
Gu Yun laughed, "That won't do, if it was me, I would go in the open and sneak around, instead of doing good things."
"Look at what you can do."
The two of them laughed and chatted as they entered a pleasure boat. As the sky darkened and colorful lanterns lit up, the water on the shore was once again bustling with noise and excitement.
This pleasure boat was two stories high and had a very exquisite eaves and pavilions. It stopped by the water's edge until it was more or less done. Then, it slowly sailed, accompanied by melodious music. The liveliness of Qin Huai officially began.
However, there would always be a little mouse poop that would affect the eyes, such as Song Yanting.
If the cruise liner had not already started moving, Xie Jingxi guaranteed that she would turn around and leave. Gu Yun held his hand to signal her to be at ease.
"Oh, little lady, you said that this isn't fate. This is fate!"
He also knew about Gu Yun's identity, but he did not put his in his eyes at all, "Isn't this Minister Gu? Why, now that the imperial court has ordered the officials to come out and have fun together, that's pretty good. It means that our His Majesty is open to the public, but I think I heard that you were here to recuperate your illness as an official.
The cruise liner said it was not small, but it was limited even if it was big. Everyone could hear Song Yanting's undisguised voice, and upon hearing that he was an official appointed by the imperial court, they all looked over towards him curiously. In any case, no one knew what kind of person Minister Gu was, and they all knew what kind of thing Song Yanting was.
No matter how nice the singing on the stage was, they were already tired of listening to it. Song Yanting had even taken liberties with the wife of an official ordered by the imperial government, and even took liberties with her in front of her. If Gu Yun agreed, it would be singing of Song Yanting's boat taking care of the official's wife, and if Gu Yun did not agree, it would be singing of the Minister's Master Song fighting for love.
Gu Yun remained calm and collected as he protected Xie Jingxi behind him and smiled at Song Yanting: "You have yet to meet Minister, not to mention face, when will you be recommended to us, Second Young Master, but Second Young Noble, I must advise you, President Song is not lacking in silver, your own little brother's eyes are bad, you always recognize the wrong person, you should be able to cure your illness, didn't you just leave a painting at our shop last time, I don't care about you, when you don't wait for me to get others to speak, you want to convict me of pretending to be a government officer, where should I cry, if you can't do it, I will give you the painting for free?"
"Puff …"
Many people in the cruise liner laughed, causing Xie Jingxi to hold back her laughter in her heart, thinking that Gu Xuanchen's mouth was also extremely lethal.
