Chapter fifty-eight
Not long after he returned to his residence, Shishu sent a maid to invite him. Xu You knew the reason and followed him. It was still the courtyard where he met earlier. Shishu'an sat on the cushion and did not get up to greet him. There was a little worry in his eyebrows and said, "Haven Mr. Lang went to Jueya Waterfall?"
After all, this place is Guo's territory. Although there is no special guard, Zuo Qi and that person have been involved in the attack and made a big noise. As long as Shi Shu is not blind and deaf, he will definitely receive a report from the people below.
"Yes!" There is no need to hide this matter, and it is impossible to hide it. Xu You said frankly: "We accidentally entered the mountains while we were traveling. I don't know it was a forbidden area of your mansion. Please don't blame me!"
Shishu lowered his head, and after a while he lifted it up, he said, "Mr., I cannot make the decision! Before you come in, I have sent someone to report to the wife, what to do, and she will make a decision."
Xu You was stunned and immediately guessed that there was a huge secret hidden in the Jueya Waterfall, otherwise Shishu would not be so cautious. However, who would hide in the stone cave behind the waterfall and not see the sun in the world?
"Okay!" He pondered for a moment and said, "If there is nothing else, I will say goodbye..."
"Let's wait!" Shishu whispered: "Before the wife comes back, please stay in the room and don't walk around at will!"
"Oh?" Xu You stopped and looked at Shishu for a long time. A smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and said, "What do you mean is that you want to imprison me and wait?"
Shishu's expression was faint, not because of Xu You's bad eyes and the slightest emotional fluctuation, and said, "I dare not, my husband is a distinguished guest of my Guo family. From the wife, he has the beauty of staying at a bed and staying guests, but he has no arrogance and disrespect, for fear that the hospitality would be inadequate and the nobles would be defeated. How could he be imprisoned?"
The allusion of Liubin on the bed came from "Book of the Later Han Dynasty". Xu You was no longer surprised by the talents of the maids around Zhan Wenjun, and said, "I should be polite to be a polite girl. We were invited to come. If we couldn't even be dedicated to our own actions, how could we talk about cooperation and honesty? How could we talk about being honest and united to fight against foreign enemies together?"
"Mr. Isn't my husband born in the Huamen? Isn't he hearing that the guest will follow the host? Besides, there are many jackals, tigers and leopards in Mingyu Mountain, and the husband is noble and the body is noble. If there is any mistake, I am afraid that I will not be able to explain to my wife."
"Is that so? You imprison me without your permission..." Xu You's eyes drooped, and he gently flicked off the little dust on the sleeve of the robe, and said, "Aren't you afraid that Mrs. Guo will not be able to explain after she comes back?"
Shishu coughed sharply for a while, and took a breath twice. His voice sounded exhausted, but the firmness in his words came to his face and said, "I was instructed by my wife to be responsible for the affairs of the mountains. If there is a priority to decide, I will naturally have no choice. As for the other things, it is not within my considerations or my authority. If the wife punishes me in the future, I will take it. But at this moment, please don't let me make things difficult for you."
Xu You just escaped from the cage of Yixing, and turned around and got into another cage of Qiantang. Although he was safe in self-protection, his freedom was never in his own hands. Therefore, he was not so angry when he was treated so rudely by Shishu. However, he is now in a weak position, and his cooperation with Zhan Wenjun only relies on some tricks and insights. Because of this, he must be stronger, otherwise one will rise and fall, and it is not a way to get along for a long time.
Xu You laughed a long time and said, "My mother is so eloquent. She is arrogant first and shows weakness later. In fact, she says a lot of things, but she still has to act according to your will. I am really sorry. I have been naughty since I was a child. I believe you have heard of Yixing's reputation. I have never been a ruler. Today, things have come to this point. It is useless to say more. I will go down the mountain immediately!"
After saying that, he bowed his hand and turned around and left. Shishu's face finally changed. He pressed his hands on the table, leaned forward and said, "Mr., wait a moment..."
The door opened and closed, and seeing Xu You disappear from sight, Shi Shu pursed his lower lip tightly and shouted in a low voice: "Come here, stop him!"
Two secret doors flashed out on the flat and unremarkable walls, and four warriors responded to the sound, surrounding Xu You, with a very respectful attitude, but they blocked his way forward.
Xu You stood with his hands behind his back, facing Shishu, and said coldly: "Buying and dealings are not done, are you really going to tear your face?"
Shishu coughed twice and clapped his hands. Two maids with buns came over carrying a three-legged ebony backrest bed. The seat was covered with thick brocade futons and a spider embroidered with gold and silver threads. He helped him sit up and lifted him up to Xu You, with his head slightly lowered, his hands were folded between his chest and abdomen, and said, "Don't be angry!"
Xu You discovered the clues at this time. No wonder Shishu never stood up from beginning to end to salute. It turned out that her legs were inconvenient to walk and she was sitting cross-legged on Hu's bed. Although her legs and feet were covered by a pleated skirt, the slightly exposed part between her left ankle could also be seen wrapped in thick linen. This movement seemed to seep blood, which was clearly seriously injured.
"Mr., maybe there is something disrespectful in my words just now, but in my heart, I have no intention of being arrogant about you." Shishu said sincerely: "Jueya Waterfall is a forbidden place in the mountains. Apart from the Lord, there are only mute servants who deliver food to come in and out. It is also because I am not very good at dealing with things. If I told you earlier, I would not have caused today's misunderstanding."
People respect me one foot, and I respect others one foot. Xu You originally took retreat as an advance, otherwise, with his cunning, how could he be really angry? Seeing that Ten Books were surrendering, he was also happy and generous and said, "The reason is that I shouldn't have walked around in the noble place without permission. Let's do this. In the past two days, I will step up training those storytellers. I don't have time to go to the mountains to play. When my wife comes back, I will apologize to her again."
This is indirectly responsive to Shishu and will not go to Jueya Waterfall again. Shishu knows that he can no longer force anything. Could it be that he really imprisoned Xu You? Not to mention his reputation as the ninth-grade master list, he is the Zuo Shi, who is already very difficult to deal with. Moreover, the matter is prioritized. For Guo, the most important thing at the moment is not the secret of Jueya Waterfall, but Guo Mian's life and death!
"Thank you, my husband, for your understanding, please!"
When Xu You's figure was still vaguely visible, Shishu clapped his hands, and another maid came out of the secret door and asked, "Who is guarding the Jueya Waterfall today?"
Jueya Waterfall is so important, of course, it is not really not sent to guard it. It’s just that there are old people in the mansion, and they know that the family law is ruthless. Since they have given instructions, naturally no one will go to Jueya. So they just sent two people to guard the mountain road, more to drive away insects and beasts, not to guard against people.
"It's Liu Wuzi and Yang Ernu."
"Where are the two now?"
