Chapter 22 Because of Love
(Please collect, recommend...)
Guo Dan reacted very quickly and pretended to be surprised and said, "I am stupid, I don't know where the old man said this?"
The old man smiled and said, "Do you want me to ask Chen Fangyuan over and ask clearly?"
That old man didn't even abide by his promise, and that's a big deal. Guo Dan was secretly angry and immediately put the eighteen generations of Chen Fangyuan's ancestors together to curse him.
The old man seemed to see what Guo Dan was thinking and laughed and said, "Don't blame him. I went fishing in the southern suburbs that day and happened to meet you doing good deeds there. He didn't want to say that it was me who forced him to say it."
Guo Dan suddenly stepped forward and bowed, "My younger generation Guo Dan has seen Uncle."
"It's not a bad thing that's the one from Yashang, so his eyesight is not bad." The old man nodded with a smile, then reached out and said, "Sit down."
This old man is Xu Mengchong, the Xing'an Bo.
"Thank you."
After Guo Dan sat down, Xu Mengqiu said, "I'm going to tell you, today I mainly want to see you. There are countless geniuses in this world, but I don't understand why you have to hide it. I would rather be called a coward than show off my true abilities."
Guo Dan pondered slightly and sighed: "I will not hide it from my uncle. The reason why I am hiding is because I am not here to conceal it."
When Xu Mengchong heard this, he couldn't help but say curiously: "How do you say this?"
Guo Dan said: "A father is a scholar. His lifelong wish is to pass the imperial examination. It's a pity that he failed to do what he wants. As a son, Guo Dan naturally wanted to fulfill his father's last wish. He has been studying hard at home, only wishing to be able to pass the exam and reimburse the country. But... But his father-in-law is a businessman. He hopes that his father-in-law can inherit the family business. If he lets his father-in-law know that he can do business, he is afraid that he will not agree to let his son-in-law get the exam and get the exam, so he hides it."
"I see."
Xu Mengchong nodded and said, "This person has his own ambitions. Since that's the case, I won't force you."
This made me miss the truth. It is not an exaggeration to say that I am a genius! Guo Dan laughed secretly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Bo, for your understanding."
Xu Mengchong said again: "In fact, compared to fine wine and delicacies, I prefer poetry and articles. Today, I am quite interested. We might as well cook wine and discuss articles."
"Buy...boil wine to discuss...pronounce articles?" Guo Dan said tremblingly.
Xu Mengqiu said: "Isn't it possible?"
"Okay...no! You are very talented, well-educated, and knowledgeable. You are just a fledgling boy. How dare you discuss articles with you?" Guo Dan said in fear.
He really can't do this thing. He can't even recite a few of the 300 Tang poems. He really has no intention of this!
"Damn it!"
Xu Mengchong suddenly slapped the table and shouted, "Young-mouthed child, dare to speak nonsense in front of me. I have seen many scholars. Who is not arrogant? How could you pretend to be crazy and stupid like you? Why don't you come here quickly?"
Damn it, how could I make such a mistake? In front of a scholar, I said that I was a scholar. Isn’t this a person who sent me the face to beat me? Guo Dan complained secretly, and was also very curious in his heart, and asked back: "Please forgive me for being rude. I really want to know why uncle is so interested in me."
Xu Mengshi coughed lightly and said, "Curious!"
This is a big truth, because Guo Dan's behavior is indeed very puzzling, so no one is willing to be this cowardly.
"So that's it." Guo Dan said: "Master, can you please stop talking?"
"Of course not." Xu Mengchong answered neatly.
Guo Dan was silent for a while and suddenly sighed: "I don't hide it from my uncle, it's because of love."
"Why?" Xu Mengqiu turned his ear canal.
"like."
"like?"
Guo Dan nodded and said, "I have always loved my wife deeply. Although she doesn't love me, I am willing to be a coward for her."
Xu Mengchong frowned and said, "I don't understand very well."
It's right that you don't understand. If you want to understand, I won't say that. Guo Dan was secretly happy, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "My father-in-law has no son, so she has called me as her son-in-law. But I know that Neizi is unwilling to do this. She thinks her ability is not weaker than that of men, and she also likes to do business very much. If I show my true skills, then my father-in-law may hand over the teeth to me to take care of it, but this will make Neizi sad. In order to make Neizi happy, I can only pretend to be stupid and willing to be this green leaf."
Xu Mengchong sighed with a deep eyebrows: "You are a man and a real man, and you should be the master of your family. You are willing to fall into depravity for a woman. You are so embarrassed to say it out."
I'm embarrassed to say, you had to force me out. Didn't you see goose bumps all over the floor? Guo Dan felt speechless, but the other party was an earl and could not argue with him. He said embarrassedly: "My uncle taught me a lesson, but... but there is a kind of love called hopelessness. I also know that this may be wrong, but I just can't do anything that makes my inner son sad."
"Oh...you are really hopeless!" Xu Mengchong sighed. He couldn't prove whether Guo Dan was lying. "I just believe you, but I already know your background. If you are in front of me, there is no need to hide it. I wonder what you think of my winery?"
You really take yourself seriously. Just ask me! Guo Dan said: "My uncle is a scholar. I have never done business according to the rules. Last time I went to Chenlou, I was just a trick. Those methods are not up to the table. If the other party knew that it was the younger generation who was manipulating it later, it would definitely not be successful. If Mr. Wang wanted to sell a jar of wine for a good price, then he could help, but for such a large transaction, I was really powerless. However, my father-in-law and son were very good at it."
It seems that Chen Fangyuan is right. This kid is really cunning. Xu Mengchong pondered for a moment and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will tell you about it?"
Of course I am afraid, but I am even more afraid of being threatened. Guo Dan hurriedly said, "I would like to ask my uncle to raise my hands. Don't tell me, it hurts my inner heart. In fact, I really want to help my uncle. I am really powerless. Please forgive me."
Xu Mengqiu was so angry that he was arrogant without saying anything.
However, Guo Dan is not a chick, so he couldn't scare him. Last time, he had no choice but to relieve the Kou family's urgent needs. At present, he felt bored about these business matters.
Just then, a servant walked in and said, "Master, the young master is back."
Xu Mengfeng's eyes flashed with anger, and he gritted his back teeth and said, "That evil beast dares to come back. Today I can't spare him, so I'll ask that evil beast to come in."
Guo Dan quickly stood up and said, "Brother, I will say goodbye first."
Xu Mengxiao nodded.
Guo Dan quickly ran away, but before he arrived at the door, Xu Mengchong suddenly spoke, "Wait a minute."
Guo Dan turned around and forced a smile and said, "Is there anything wrong with Mr. Bo?"
Xu Mengqin said: "You sit down first."
"oh."
Guo Dan sat back helplessly.
"Grandpa, grandpa, grandpa, grandson is back."
I heard a squeal outside.
But when Xu Mengchong heard this sound, his face was covered with dark clouds and lightning and thunder.
Before the sound fell, a fifteen-year-old white-faced young man jumped in happily.
Guo Dan's face was shocked. Is it him?
This young man was Xu Mengchong's grandson, Xu Jirong, and he was also one of the two aborted people in the capital who was as famous as him.
The two wastes are gathering together again.
Xu Mengchong glanced at Guo Dan with a look a little embarrassed. It was obvious that he knew this title.
Xu Jirong also saw Guo Dan and said in surprise: "What are you doing in my house?"
Guo Dan almost laughed, and you have the nerve to scold me for being a useless person.
"Sir, kneel down."
Xu Mengqi shouted angrily, like thunder.
Xu Jirong shivered in fear, but pointed at Guo Dan, "What did you say to my grandfather?"
Guo Dan looked confused.
"Don't kneel down yet."
Xu Mengqi was so angry that he stood up.
Seeing that his grandfather was angry, Xu Jirong knelt down, but his face was not afraid: "Grandpa, why did you let your grandson kneel down? There are outsiders here, so can't you give your grandson some shame?" After speaking, he looked aggrieved.
Xu Mengchong walked up and said, "Let me ask you, did you spend 1,200 taels a few days ago and bought a piece of wasteland that could not be planted with food."
Xu Jirong immediately felt like eggplant and frost, and she fell down and whispered: "Grandpa, you know everything."
"You prodigal son, our Xu family business will be defeated by you sooner or later." Xu Mengqiu was furious and his veins were exposed.
Guo Dan said intimately, if you continue this progress, it doesn’t take sooner or later. Maybe you will be able to see it in your lifetime, and then you can let go of everything, feel at ease and be perfect.
Xu Jirong argued with reason: "Grandpa, this is no wonder grandson. At that time, grandpa, you told grandson not to buy that brothel, and you also said that you would buy land if you want to buy it. Grandpa completely followed grandpa's instructions and used the money to buy land. But how could he know that Li Shouqi and the thin monkey united and set up a trap to cheat their grandson's money."
A hint of embarrassment flashed in Xu Mengfeng's eyes and scolded: "You are still quibbling, who bought land? If you don't go, you can still ask someone to go, but what about you? You know how many times you have been cheated of?"
Xu Jirong scratched his forehead and said, "I don't remember it."
"you......."
Xu Mengmeng suddenly raised his hand, and after a moment, he suddenly looked at Guo Dan.
Guo Danzheng was watching the fun with all his attention, and was still muttering in his heart, Damn! Why didn’t you beat me? Just beat me to death. I would have beaten me to death. Suddenly, I saw Xu Mengchong looking at me, and then he realized that he quickly got up and pretended to say, "Master, please calm down. If you raise your hand so high, you will kill someone."
Xu Jirong nodded like a chicken pecking at the rice and said, "Grandpa, he is right. This will really kill people. Grandson is the only one who passed down from the ninth generation of our Xu family!"
When Xu Mengfeng heard the Nine Generation Single Pass, he was so angry that his brain was deficient in oxygen. He pointed at the outsider and said, "You evil son... I'm kneeling outside the door. I don't want to see you."
"grandfather......."
"roll."
Xu Jirong stood up with a grievance, then walked out with a swagger, and didn't seem to be kneeling down, but instead he seemed to be going up a brothel.
"This evil son...ah..."
Xu Mengchong closed his eyes and sighed: "I really hope he is just like you, and he is also pretending to be crazy and stupid."
Are you praising or demoting? Guo Dan comforted her perfunctorily: "My uncle, I am still young this year, and when I grow up, I will not be so naughty."
"It's not small anymore."
Xu Mengchong shook his head, sat down, and sighed, "It's all my fault. His parents died early, and only left this unique seedling for me. Therefore, I favor him very much. From childhood to adulthood, I protected him everywhere, and developed his unrestrained and stubborn personality. The ancients said that a kind mother would lose her son, which is indeed true!"
Why are you telling me this? Guo Dan nodded perfunctorily.
