The son-in-law is a thief

Chapter 42

Gu Ruyang is cutting the bacon in his hand with a knife. This knife has been used by many people, and the wine shop does not know how long it has been sharpened. Gu Ruyang always feels uncomfortable when cutting meat with this knife. , She touched her body up and down, and after changing the nobleman's clothes, she even forgot the knife she carried with her in the princess mansion. Gu Ruyang stretched out her hand towards Gu Ruyangxing.

"Knife."

Gu Haixing took out the small knife pinned behind him and handed it to Gu Ruyang. It was a rib from Dongying. It was snatched by Gu Haixing from the Japanese pirates who robbed Zeng Shi back then. It should be left on the knife. Many people's lives were lost.

After taking the ribs, Gu Ruyang continued to cut the bacon in front of him with a blank expression. After all, it is a weapon for killing people, so the sharpness is naturally not a problem. Dividing the meat into small pieces, Gu Ruyang reversed the ribs and inserted them into the pieces of meat. Come on, use this knife as a chopstick to eat meat.

The cured meat was a bit salty, but Gu Ruyang didn't care. At this moment, she had something more in her heart - the little boy surnamed Li. She remembered that the first time she heard the name Li Tuo was on Feng Jian's mouth. In the novel, Feng Jian only mentioned that this person admired Zhaoyang so far that he has not married a wife yet, but seeing this person today, Gu Ruyang was very angry, and he couldn't tell what he was angry about.So I thought about today that I wanted to make friends with Zhaoyang, but she suddenly became indifferent, and I didn't know where I was wrong. I heard Zhaoyang said that I was going to Nanshi, and Li Tuo, the person I admired, was also there. It was a coincidence that he appeared at this time, and I don't know if Zhaoyang felt that it was more important to meet Li Tuo, so he left him in the cold.

After a while, the person sent to monitor Li Tuo came back and returned. It was a Japanese. He came to Gu Ruyang's side and saluted Gu Ruyang and Gu Haixing. Starfish motioned him to take a seat.

"Tell me, what's the situation?" Gu Ruyang asked.

The Japanese Hokuriku spoke very standardly, he said: "My lord, I have already inquired. The man's name is Li Tuo. He often works in the palace. Today he should have an appointment with someone and he is going to Nanshi."

"Who are you dating?" After confirming that Li Tuo was going to Nanshi, Gu Ruyang felt even more unhappy.

"I don't know, I just know it's to buy jade." The Japanese said.

"Buy jade?" Zhaoyang also went to buy jade today, and he really answered Gu Ruyang's conjecture. Gu Ruyang said to himself, "Why is jade so good that everyone wants to buy it?"

"Shall we go and find out?" the Japanese replied cautiously.

"No need," Gu Ruyang handed the ribs to Gu Haixing, she drank the last sip of wine in the glass and said, "Go and have a look, I want to know how much background this dragon and phoenix have."

Gu Haixing nodded seriously.

Gu Ruyang got up from the wine table, she seemed to think of something again, she said to Gu Haixing: "You can talk now. Come with me to Nanshi now."

"Boss Zeng said you can't run around, Boss He told you not to cause trouble." Gu Haixing sincerely conveyed Wanshigang's concern for the boss.

"Either buy jade, or shut up." Gu Ruyang didn't want to talk to him, since he was wearing a wide-sleeved robe, he naturally walked away.

Following the information from the Japanese, Gu Ruyang took Gu Haixing to the Hong Study. As the largest jade store in Niangui City, there are quite a few people here. The Hong Study is three floors high, and the first floor is mostly ordinary people. Most of them are weak officials, and most of them choose stone seals, or choose gifts to give to others.

Gu Ruyang's attire is not ordinary people's attire, and he took Gu Ruyang to the second floor with a very sensible attitude. The second floor is very clean, and there are mostly jade articles, including rough stones and accessories, whether it is jadeite or white jade. They are all high-quality stones, which can meet the needs of men, women, and children. Gu Ruyang didn't come here for jade, so she naturally looked elsewhere. She couldn't see Zhaoyang, and of course she couldn't see Li Tuo either.

"Young master, is there anything you can see?" The person in charge asked, Gu Ruyang was dressed like a man, but he was very handsome.

"Is there anything better?" Gu Ruyang asked, she knew that Zhao Yang would definitely not like these jade objects.

The person in charge looked at the third floor, but said: "My lord, the jade here is the best."

"Oh?" Gu Ruyang raised his eyebrows, half-believing and said: "Are these ordinary items the best? I thought your Hong Study's jade wares were superior, but I didn't expect them to be the same."

The steward smiled awkwardly, and replied: "Young master has good eyesight, but... but the best thing is here."

Gu Ruyang looked around, she looked at the third floor and said, "Is there a baby up there?"

"Young master, the higher-ups have been hired today, and the best ones are already here." The person in charge was also a little helpless. It could be seen that Gu Ruyang was a person who could make a lot of money, but the rules of returning to the city are the rules. It cannot be destroyed either.

"I won't buy it, just to see if it works."

As Gu Ruyang said that, he walked towards the stairs. The person in charge walked up to Gu Ruyang with a look of embarrassment and stopped Gu Ruyang. Said: "Young master, don't embarrass the little one, the upper class has already been taken over by the nobleman, the young master will see tomorrow."

"Presumptuous!" Gu Haixing stepped forward and shouted, this woman has always had a sullen face, but she looked fierce.

Gu Ruyang waved Gu Haixing back, since she came back with Zhaoyang, she didn't want to cause trouble for Zhaoyang.

"How much is the package for the guests upstairs? I'll pay three times." Gu Ruyang said, she has never been short of money in Wanshigang.

The steward looked even more embarrassed, but once the rules were established, there was no reason to break them, so the steward had no choice but to apologize repeatedly: "Young master, the third floor has been occupied by guests for an entire afternoon, if you really want to see it, why don't you go shopping first?" Go shopping, I will save this one for you tonight."

"Okay." Gu Ruyang agreed, "When will this guest leave?"

Seeing Gu Ruyang relieved, the steward also smiled: "Leave as soon as the time is over."

Gu Ruyang winked at Gu Haixing, and Gu Haixing took out a gold grain and handed it to the steward.

"The deposit for the reservation," Gu Ruyang saw that the steward was blinded by the money, and then said, "I don't want to go shopping anymore, there is a resting place in the building, arrange one for me, serve some good tea and that Fan Lou's dim sum."

"Okay, this way please."

As Gu Ruyang expected, the rest place is also on the west of the third floor, and the place for private use is on the east of the building. Although it is on the same floor, it is separated by a wall. The people in the study retreated first, and when only the Gu family was left in the room, Gu Ruyang asked Gu Haixing, "Are you sure who is next door?"

Gu Haixing replied: "Just now I have confirmed that the next door is occupied by the princess, but that Mr. Li is also inside."

Gu Ruyang's face sank again, obviously he could also accompany Zhaoyang to buy jade, why did he want an outsider to accompany him.

"Then what kind of good jade do you think is in the next room?" Gu Ruyang asked again.

Gu Haixing shook his head: "I don't know, but I'm afraid the head of the house might not like those stone tools."

Gu Haixing is right, Gu Ruyang has traveled all over the world and has never seen any treasures, mere jade is not enough to make her worry so much, and it is exactly the same, Gu Haixing added: "I am afraid that the head of the family wants to see the princess. "

"..."

"If you want to see the princess, let's go over the wall and meet." Gu Haixing said straightforwardly: "I followed the master today, and I feel that the master also misses Princess Zhaoyang all the way."

"What do you know?" Gu Ruyang yelled back, Gu Haixing is really not smart enough, she is stupid enough to be a boss, she is so stupid, especially her words, not many people in the whole Gu family love listen.

"I understand," Gu Haixing nodded, "The head of the house kindly fed the dog."

"..."

"You are not allowed to speak or move without my permission!"

Gu Haixing nodded, watching Gu Ruyang open the window, turned over and jumped to the roof.

Pirates are also thieves. Although it is broad daylight, Gu Ruyang's skill on the wall is no worse than that on the boat. In addition, she is very familiar with shipbuilding. It is easy to guess the layout based on the beams. She walked along the eaves in a few minutes. I arrived at the next door, guessing that Zhaoyang should be in the main house, so I found a corner of the room very alertly, bent down to uncover the roof tiles, Gu Ruyang smiled, it was indeed an off-angle location, followed Gu Ruyang to explore When I heard it, a man's voice appeared clearly.

"Your Highness, what you wish is what I want."

Then Zhaoyang's voice appeared, still as gentle as sunshine.

"Thank you, General Li."

"This is what a subject should do." The man said, needless to say, this is Li Tuo.

"By the way, did General Li find a beautiful jade today? If you like it, I will give it to you." Zhaoyang suddenly changed the subject.

"I already have the most beautiful person in my heart, so I can't hold other beautiful things." Li Tuo replied.

I couldn't hear Zhaoyang's words, but I heard Li Tuo say: "Your servant has overstepped."

"If the general finds beautiful jade in the future, he must tell Zhaoyang, and Zhaoyang will present it to the general as the best jade." Zhaoyang followed and said.

"Then..." Hearing Li Tuo's voice, he was a little unwilling: "Then, has the princess ever found a beautiful jade?"

He heard Zhaoyang say again slowly: "General Li has a heart, and the beautiful jade in this palace has been found."

"Then... can the princess tell Li Tuo that He Meiyu is so lucky to be favored by the princess?"

"It's getting late, I have to go back home first." Zhao Yang didn't answer Li Tuo's question.

"I will send you back!" Li Tuo seemed very positive.

Zhaoyang did not refuse either, and said in a calm manner: "Then there will be General Lao."

Gu Ruyang put the tiles back to their original place, only thinking that the two people in the room had something to talk about for a long time, and he didn't know why, but Gu Ruyang always felt like he had lost a little soul, There are all kinds of feelings in his heart but he doesn't say why, Gu Ruyang only thinks that he sincerely treats Zhaoyang as a friend, but Zhaoyang treats him a little less, the more Gu Ruyang thinks about it, the more he feels aggrieved, but again It was also unintentional on the wall, so he ran back to the room just now.

Gu Haixing was waiting for her in the room, and this stunned girl stood there motionless, just like when Gu Ruyang left, watching Gu Ruyang come back, Gu Haixing looked at her eagerly, as if she wanted to ask a question. so.

"Don't talk." Gu Ruyang said: "Go back to the princess mansion first and take a shortcut."
