Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Wei Xing walked to the chair next to him and sat down, looking at Gu Chan with a puzzled look on his face.

"What happened to him?"

"Is there any need to ask? Don't you know that he likes Yuan Jie?" Gu Chan said.

"Ah? There is such a thing?" Wei Xing said in surprise.

He hadn't had much contact with Cheng Hao for such a long time, so naturally he didn't know what was going on between him and Yuan Jie. Now after hearing what Gu Chan said, he finally understood why Cheng Hao was so drunk.

Gu Chan asked, "When will those three come?"

"It will probably take a while. Xu Ziguang has already sent people to pick them up, so they won't be here soon." Wei Xing said.

"Well, take this pot of tea and use it to wake him up," Gu Chan ordered.

Wei Xing immediately reached out and picked up the pot of tea on the table, walked to Cheng Hao, and then suddenly splashed the tea on his face.

Stimulated by the tea, Cheng Hao suddenly woke up, propped himself up and sat up from the ground, saying drunkenly, "Where...where am I..."

"How dare you be so presumptuous in front of your master." Wei Xing shouted coldly.

Cheng Hao was stunned at first, then he quickly came to his senses and knelt down to greet Gu Chan.

Gu Chan said with a stiff face, "Tell me! Why are you so drunk?"

"Master, I..." Cheng Hao lowered his head and was speechless.

"Is it for Yuan Jie?" Gu Chan said directly.

Cheng Hao just lowered his head and said nothing, feeling extremely upset.

Wei Xing shook his head and said, "Why are you doing this? There are so many women in the world. If you are so decadent for a woman, people will only look down on you. You have to understand that you are a man. As long as you have status, position and wealth, you will never lack women."

"Master, what makes me sad is that for so long, I never expressed my feelings to her. Only now that I have completely lost her, do I understand what regret means!" Cheng Hao said in a crying voice.

Gu Chan scolded, "Then remember this lesson. Next time you meet a girl you like, don't keep it to yourself."

"Yes, master." Cheng Hao said crying.

"Do you know what the biggest difference between Zuo Yun and you is? He is thicker-skinned and braver than you. Do you know how he pursued Yuan Jie?" Gu Chan said coldly.

Cheng Hao looked up at Gu Chan with a confused look on his face.

Before Zuo Yun lived in the lord's mansion, he had been running the Yaoduoduo shop business in Greater China. Of course, he didn't know how Zuo Yun managed to win Yuan Jie over.

Gu Chan's eyes flickered, deliberately provoking him, "Zuo Yun didn't do anything. The only thing he did was to find a way to sleep with Yuan Jie first, and then took her away."

"Ah?" Cheng Hao was dumbfounded.

"Let me tell you, men and women are the same in this world. Most of the time, they tend to think with their lower body. You think you have to impress her with your sincerity, but in fact, it doesn't need to be so complicated. When the time is right, you should take action. Don't hesitate, otherwise you are destined to miss it." Gu Chan explained these principles.

As a woman, she understood women's psychology too well. She also knew how Yuan Jie was conquered by Zuo Yun.

It’s a pity that these people in ancient times were too innocent and didn’t have the modern people’s way of thinking about picking up girls. Otherwise, Yuan Jie would have been Cheng Hao’s woman long ago, and why would she have followed Zuo Yun!

Cheng Hao slumped on the ground, the pain in his chest felt like it was being stabbed by a knife.

Wei Xing persuaded, "Okay, go down and have a good sleep to sober up, then I'll send someone to take you to the Jiangnan camp. You have to find a way to get ahead in the Jiangnan camp in the future. It would be best if you can be valued by General Nanxing Kuang. That way, even if the prince wants to take over the Jiangnan area again, you can still help the master."

"Yes, master, I understand. From now on I will cheer up and will not be so decadent anymore." Cheng Hao said gritting his teeth.

After saying that, he quietly stood up and left, like a zombie, and went to the yard where Yuan Jie used to live to rest.

After he left, Wei Xing looked at Gu Chan and said, "Little Boss, aren't your words just now too hurtful? He's already so upset, and you hurt him again. I think you're so cruel!"

"If we don't hurt his heart, when will he wake up? And to put it bluntly, he is the only one to blame for Yuan Jie's departure, not Zuo Yun." Gu Chan said with a stiff face.

Wei Xing nodded without comment.

At this moment, Xu Ziguang suddenly walked in from outside the lobby, leading two men and one woman.

Wei Xing quickly stood up to greet him and said, "Master Xu, you are finally here. Our master has been waiting for you for a long time."

"I'm sorry, Chief Steward, I'm late and kept you and the Lord waiting for a long time." Xu Ziguang said with an apologetic smile.

"No problem, just introduce these three to the master!" Wei Xing said, waving his hand.

Xu Ziguang nodded hurriedly, led the three people to stand in front of Gu Chan, and introduced them one by one, "My Lord, these three are the top three in the previous Jiangnan Poetry Festival. They are You Ziyin, Long Yu, and Jie Sanshao."

Gu Chan listened and nodded silently, and couldn't help but look up at the three people.

After taking a look at them, she found that these three people were indeed a perfect match. They were all tall and slender, dressed in bright and beautiful clothes. The men were very handsome and the women were very beautiful. They all had the style and temperament of coming from a big family, which was simply incomparable to ordinary people.

Seeing that Gu Chan didn't say anything, Xu Ziguang continued, "My Lord, these three are all from big families in our Jiangnan area! Their three families have done a lot of business in the Jiangnan area, and when you dealt with General Zuo before, their fathers also secretly helped you."

"My Lord, this is what our three families should do. You don't have to worry about it." You Ziyin said with a salute.

Long Yu and Jie Sanshao also joined in the shouting.

Gu Chan looked at Wei Xing and ordered, "Chief Steward, go to the study in the backyard and prepare a table for the banquet. I want to talk to the three of you in detail."

"Yes, master." Wei Xing responded respectfully and left with the three of them.

Xu Ziguang still stood there, embarrassed and at a loss.

Gu Chan walked up to him and whispered, "Tell me the truth, how much benefit did you receive from them?"

"Not much. Each of them gave me a treasure. I will have someone deliver it to you, Lord, in the evening." Xu Ziguang said honestly.

"No need, just keep it if it's given to you, so that they won't feel uneasy." Gu Chan said with a strange smile.

Xu Ziguang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his hand and said in a trembling voice, "My Lord, I am accepting bribes. If you don't let me send it over, you will find another way to punish me later!"

"Oh! Look at what you said. Am I that kind of person? Just take it in peace. I promise I won't mess with you this time." Gu Chan said with a laugh.

Only then did Xu Ziguang finally breathe a sigh of relief, then said goodbye to Gu Chan and left with peace of mind.

Gu Chan ignored him and walked towards the study in the backyard with a smile.
