Chapter 209 Guo Family
At the gate of Guo’s house.
Butler Guo pretended to straighten his disheveled robe, then glared helplessly at the waiter from Wangque Tower who was waiting at the door.
Thousands of words cannot express it all, but one glance can express it thoroughly...
The guy hurriedly responded with a flattering smile...
The two of them came and went, and everything was said without words...
"The Third Master said that it will be delivered soon. It's not a big deal. Come with me in." The butler held his head high, chest puffed out, hands in his pockets, and walked in small steps.
"Hey, thank you, brother. I've kept the holiday gifts our building gave out last time, as well as a pot of 'Spring Drunk' for you. I'll bring it to you another day." The waiter lowered his head slightly and followed the butler, occasionally asking the coachman to keep up.
The butler glanced at the waiter, hummed softly to express Diudiu's satisfaction, and strode forward to lead the way.
……
The carriage rocked and the curtains swayed.
Li Jiaojiao and Lu Liang sat upright in the carriage, with a wine jar swaying gently at their feet.
Li Jiaojiao glanced at Lu Liang, full of dissatisfaction: "Wangque Tower has such good wine, and I didn't know about it until today!"
Lu Liang reluctantly took the hand of the person next to him and said innocently, "I just found out about this today. I'm not very clear about what kind of business the Wangquelou in various places are running.
Only useful information is reported to me, and the money earned is directly used to support people or to do other business. I am not very clear about the ins and outs, and I am not intentionally hiding it from you.
Think about it, what kind of business do you have now? Do you know it clearly? "
Li Jiaojiao pulled her hand back forcefully, trying to hide her awkwardness: "Just say what you mean, don't change the subject."
All the properties under her control were donated by kind-hearted people from all walks of life. I heard that she later opened branches in various places. How could she know which ones they were?
"Well, it's my fault. I will put the businesses in order and hand them over to my wife to manage. There was no one to take care of it before, so I handed it over to the people below. Now when I hand it over to you, we will naturally understand everything." Lu Liang pursed his lips and nodded seriously.
Li Jiaojiao was surprised: "Leave it all to me? Aren't you afraid that I will pack up and run away?"
This would not be easy for other people to do, but in her hands, when she goes down to inspect, she can just put everything into the space and get away with it.
Lu Liang touched Li Jiaojiao's head, a dark light flashed in his eyes, "Can you?"
Li Jiaojiao shrugged: "That's hard to say."
"When you leave, can you take me with you?"
Li Jiaojiao's hand was pressed on Lu Liang's chest. She sensed the other party's breath getting closer and closer, and hurriedly said: "No... Ha... No, I was kidding, I'm not short of money, why would I cause trouble for myself..."
Li Jiaojiao's voice became smaller and smaller under the other party's burning gaze... smaller and smaller...
Fortunately, she realized the destination, and suddenly a large medicine box appeared between them...
……
The inner courtyard of Guo’s mansion.
When the carriage arrived, the three masters of the Guo family were already waiting on the side.
"Master, the eldest son's...friend, has arrived..." The butler's words were intermittent, because Li Jiaojiao had already reached out, lifted the curtain and jumped out when he opened his mouth.
The next person to come down was Lu Liang carrying a medicine box.
Neither of them put on any disguise and just appeared in front of everyone so casually.
The three masters of the Guo family stopped mid-air when they wanted to raise their hands to salute. The women were cold and elegant, while the men were graceful and noble.
The two men were of extraordinary style, and the clothes they wore were rare tributes.
The Guo family has been in business for generations, so they have some insight into this.
For Daqing to have such a magnanimous person, it is impossible for them not to know that this is a taboo in the business world.
Now, the only ones who can have such a magnanimous demeanor and are unknown to other families are the Fourth Prince who has returned from his studies and the young and promising Princess Fuyao.
The three of them thought quickly and immediately changed from bowing to kneeling. "I greet Your Highness and the County Lady. Your Highness has come a long way and I was unable to greet you in person. Please forgive me."
Butler Guo staggered and knelt down hurriedly, sweat pouring down his forehead. "Master... are you sure? Your Highness?"
He made His Highness wait at the door for so long?
He is jumping around right under your Highness's nose?
Didn't he just say anything he shouldn't have said?
The driver Bai Qing raised the brim of his hat and glanced at the people kneeling on the ground. He was quite perceptive. No wonder he could still stand firm in the business world for many years despite the "curse".
"Get up, let's talk somewhere else." Lu Liang looked down at the people below with no expression on his face.
"Yes, thank you, Your Highness. Your Highness, County Princess, please come in." Guo Biao led the way, of course no longer to the warehouse next to the study, but directly into the study.
If the other party came in this way, the banquet hall would definitely be inconvenient, and the only place that could accommodate the guest was the study room of the Guo Mansion.
Everyone was walking in front, and the butler finally stood up tremblingly. Before he took two steps, he saw the driver who had been there before suddenly dash out in front of him, and then he disappeared...
The butler almost fell down again after getting up, but was picked up by the waiter from Wangque Tower who rushed over, "Don't be afraid, brother, His Highness and the county lady are both very good..."
Butler: ...I believe you, old ghost. You are a very bad guy.
Guo Biao had high attainments in martial arts, so he was naturally aware of the movements behind him, but he didn't even pause and ran straight to the study.
It would be strange if the prince did not have any experts accompanying him when he traveled. It is estimated that by now, the outside of Guo’s mansion is already filled with secret guards and experts.
A group of people stepped into the study.
Lu Liang placed the medicine box in his hand on the table. The purpose of his visit was self-evident.
Li Jiaojiao looked around at the three people, and finally stopped her gaze at Guo Biao, the leader, and asked, "I wonder if Guo Ziheng's father is still alive?"
The woman's voice was clear and melodious, like the sound of snow falling in winter, chilling one's heart.
The three brothers of the Guo family: ...
Guo Biao bowed and lowered his eyes to answer: "I am Guo Biao, Guo Ziheng's biological father. I am still... in Jian."
Guo Yi stood behind his eldest brother, his eyes attentive and eager, "I am Guo Yi, Ziheng's third uncle. Does the county lady know Ziheng?"
Guo Xun, who had just brought the brewed tea, glanced at his brother calmly, lowered his head and poured the tea, "Your Highness, County Lady, please have some tea. I am Guo Xun, the second son of the Guo family. The main branch of the Guo family has only three of us left in our generation. If the County Lady can cure my eldest brother's...disease, the Guo family is willing to be loyal to the Fourth Prince until death."
Guo Xun put down the teacup, the handsome man knelt down, and kowtowed three times in a very proper manner.
"Second brother. Second brother." Guo Biao and Guo Yi exclaimed at the same time.
Guo Xun is the person in the Guo family who least shows his emotions. He has always had a dead look on his face since he was a child. He even did not marry, which brought trouble to his family and harmed the next generation. It was from him that the third child started to follow suit.
This is the first time in his life that he is like this today.
Li Jiaojiao put down the teacup in her hand and said, "Get up. I came here today for this matter, but not for your Guo family."
"Because your Guo family is already mine..."
