Chapter 16 Reaching a Consensus

Gu Qingci’s breakfast... Oh no, to be more precise, it was lunch. I ate it very quickly and just drank a bowl of Hu spicy soup.

Because he had to go back to the mansion to report this matter to Mr. Gu, because Gu Qingci was very clear that he was one with the Gu family in Luoyang. If the Gu family suffered from this, I believe that Gu Qingci's situation would not be easy.

At this time, Mr. Gu was holding a pot of tea in his hand, sitting in the lobby to listen to the butler's report. The content of the report was probably the income and expenditure of so many industries in the Gu family this month.

"Dad, something big happened." This is the first sentence that Gu Qingci saw Gu Moxin after entering the door.

"Qingci, you kid can't learn to learn more from your elder brother? Every day, you know how to be smart and be more steady!" Gu Moxin just got angry when he saw Gu Qingci. In his opinion, this kid is just a troublemaker.

In fact, Gu Sheng knew why Mr. Gu was like this: it wasn't because of Gu Qingci, who went to look at the girls all day long, or he would tease those beautiful little sisters and cause a lot of trouble, let alone this time, the trouble caused can be said to be a series of disasters.

Theoretically speaking, Gu Qingci is now wiping the butt for the former Gu Qingci: if Gu Qingci had not slashed the walls of the Xu Gong Mansion before, there would have been no Young Master Chen slapped his head with a brick, and there would have been no action of visiting the Xu Mansion at night.

Without these prerequisites, it would be impossible for Gu Qingci to take the bricks to pat County Mayor Chen. In short, this is a chain reaction...

Gu Qingci knew the causes and consequences of all this, but he couldn't explain it clearly anyway, so he had to admit it.

Nonsense, if he explained clearly, he should have been arrested to drink talisman water and was removed by the Taoist priest.

So Gu Qingci bowed 90 degrees very sincerely and said, "Yes, Dad, I understand."

"Well, this is almost the same. Just know your mistakes and you can correct them. Remember, you have to collapse in front of you without changing your face." As he said that, Gu Moxin stroked his beard with great smugness, "Tell me, what's the big deal?"

"Shi Yousan and Han Fuqu are the ones who made General Feng rebelled." Gu Qingci said calmly.

"That's right. Just calm down..." Before he finished speaking, Gu Moxin suddenly reacted. He was shocked and even the teacup fell to the ground. He asked with a dull face: "What?! Chairman Han and Commander Shi made the rebellious Marshal Feng?!"

Looking at Gu Moxin's appearance, Gu Qingci was actually a little stunned: What if the promised Mount Tai collapsed before him and his face remained unchanged?!

"Yes, the latest telegram is here. Commander Shi and Chairman Han jointly generated the power, saying that they would maintain peace and support the central government." As he said, Gu Qingci handed the newspaper in his hand to Gu Moxin.

The more Gu Moxin read, the more pale his face became, and he finally couldn't help but fainted.

"Master! Master!!" Seeing Gu Moxin's appearance, the butler immediately shouted anxiously.

"What's the hurry? He just fainted from hypoglycemia." Gu Qingci said nonsense, then stepped forward and held the old man's one.

After a while, Mr. Gu woke up slowly. The first thing he said after waking up was: "Import Qingcheng back immediately and have something to discuss with you!"

"Yes, lord!" The housekeeper hurriedly ran out.

After helping the old man sit down, Gu Qingci said, "What does this Han Fuqu rebellion have to do with us? As for the anxiousness to faint?"

After seeing that there was no one around, Gu Moxin said softly: "Qingci, you don't know anything. Our Gu family can gain a foothold in Luoyang thanks to the strong support of many Chairman Han. Now Chairman Han has sent a telegram to support the central government and wants to support the Nanjing government. In the near future, Marshal Feng will be back. If Luoyang falls and our Gu family is destroyed, we are afraid that it will be destroyed day and night."

Gu Qingci is not himself. After Mr. Gu woke up like this, how could he not know what was going on? He said, "Dad, I understand. It turns out that Chairman Han has been supporting us all the time, so the city defense commander Huo Liansheng would give us face so much, right?"

"Yes, if it weren't for Chairman Han, how could Huo Liansheng take our merchant family seriously? But I have an old friend with Chairman Han, and not many people know about this. If they hadn't arrested you in the morning, I wouldn't have brought this matter out. We are a merchant family, so we want to survive and don't fight too much with those officials." Gu Moxin reminded Gu Qing to ci.

"Dad, the child knows it." Gu Qingci said.

"Okay, your kid has finally grown up. I don't know what happened after Master Chen photographed you moving bricks, which made you look much more mature at once." Gu Moxin's expression had a lot of comfort, and then he suddenly asked very seriously: "Boy, Dad, you must tell the truth about something."

"Dad, please ask." Gu Qingci said. He had guessed what Mr. Gu was going to ask.

"Miss Chen from County, did you make the decision last night?" Mr. Gu asked in a low voice.

Gu Qingci shook his head firmly, and then said with confidence: "County Magistrate Chen clearly had an accident and was photographed. How could a commoner like us fight against high-ranking officials? He wants to die, but I still want to live."

Looking at Gu Qingci's appearance, Gu Moxin couldn't help laughing. He pointed to the former and said, "You boy, you're so unhonest. If I hadn't told Chunsheng to sleep even before he could even keep an eye on you, otherwise, I wouldn't know that you boy would dare to be so bold."

Gu Qingci lived in his past and present life for more than 30 years, but now he is exposed to his lies in person. He can't help but blush and said, "I haven't learned it from my father. Just now my father taught me that I would fall in front of Mount Tai but my face is not changed. Look at you, I'm so scared now."

I imagined that the scene of Mr. Gu's face turning red did not appear. Mr. Gu laughed and said, "It's really worthy of being the seed of me, Gu Moxin. I have a thick-skinned face! Yes, men should do this!"

Finally, the two shameless guys looked at each other and forced to reach a consensus...

...

About two hours later, Gu Qingcheng, the eldest son of the Gu family who was busy outside, finally came back.

Unlike Gu Qingci, who looks like a novice, Gu Qingcheng looks old and steady, and is also wearing a navy blue long gown that scholars often wear in this era, which makes him always look like a Confucian scholar.

With capable short hair, sharp-edged facial features, and a height of over 1.8 meters, he can indeed be called sunny and handsome, but the round black-framed glasses make Gu Qingcheng seem very mature.
