men and women

The western clock rang six times, Shen and Li woke up from the doze, "Is the master back?"

"I'm back, I'm in the study." Shen Li's girl Chun Ya replied.

"Where is the second master?" Shen Li asked.

"Second master is practicing boxing." Chunya said.

"Where's Miss?" Shen Li asked.

"Miss and her friends went shopping, and they should be back soon." Chunya said.

"Well, tell me to go on, let's have dinner at 06:30." After finishing speaking, Mrs. Shen Li continued to close her eyes and doze off.

At [-]:[-], several owners of the Shen family appeared in the large living room of the main building. Shen Queming pulled Mrs. Shen to look at the things she bought today, while Shen Yanfei sat on the sofa beside her.Shen Heli was waiting outside the door of the main building.

Zige walked in front carrying the lantern, Gu Xinyue walked behind in a leisurely manner, Zeng Ma and Dai Mei followed behind him.Gu Xinyue had seen Shen Heli standing at the door a long time ago, but he pretended not to see him, and still walked slowly.Until standing still in front of him, "Master——"

"Go in." Shen Heli said. He is 24 years old this year. He is in the prime of his life but he is already a business overlord. The traces of hard work are also left on him. He is tall, neither fat nor thin, and when he takes off his clothes, he will know that his whole body is full of tendons, with sword eyebrows and star eyes. If Gu Xinyue is as handsome as a green bamboo facing the wind, then Shen Heli is as handsome as a green pine in the mountains.The two standing side by side are also very commensurate, and the two entered the room one after the other.

"Brother, sister-in-law." Shen Heming and Shen Yanfei stood up and called for someone.Shen Heli nodded, and said to Shen Lishi, "Mother, everyone is here, let's serve dinner."

"Mother." Gu Xinyue called out.

Shen Lishi nodded to him, and the atmosphere suddenly became strangely serious.The five people sat down in the big restaurant next door, and the servants filed in to serve the food.

"Heli, I heard from the housekeeper that you brought an actor back today." Before eating, Mrs. Shen Li said to Shen Heli, "You are rich now, but you can't learn the dirty habit of raising an actor and whoring your sister. You Dad has been green and white all his life, if you learn to be bad, I will have no face to see your dad when I die."

"No, mother." Shen Heli said. "It's just a play on the occasion, I know it well."

Shen Lishi glanced at Gu Xinyue who was quietly sitting next to Shen Heli, and felt that a mother-in-law like herself was really hard to find in the world, but a daughter-in-law didn't know how to appreciate her.So I said to Gu Xinyue, "I heard that you put him in Shuiyuntian? And arranged for a servant to serve him?"

"Since it's someone sent by Boss Zhang, it's not appropriate to deal with it immediately. It's like raising a kitten and puppy. The water and clouds are surrounded by water on three sides. Whatever he wants to do is under the nose of people, and he can't make mistakes. , wait a few months, and then send it back or send it out." Gu Xinyue said.

Shen Heli nodded, "This is a very proper way to deal with it."

Since Shen Heli said so, Shen Lishi naturally wouldn't say anything more.The five of them ate a meal in silence.After the meal, it is customary for the Shen family brothers to have a discussion with Mrs. Shen and Li to get in touch with each other.Gu Xinyue participated once, but the five of them sat there staring at each other for a few minutes, and then dispersed.

After that, Gu Xinyue didn't participate any more, and the rest of them didn't force it.

Gu Xinyue returned to her yard, after doing a simple cleaning, she sat on the small dining table and waited for the noodles. When the hot noodles came, Shen Heli also came in.Gu Xinyue put down the chopsticks in his hand, and told him with cold eyes that we are not familiar, so you are not very welcome to come.

Shen Heli pretended not to see it, and entered the room naturally, "What's delicious to eat, it smells so good, do you have any more? Bring me a bowl too."

Dai Mei glanced at Gu Xinyue, and saw that the young master's eyes were full of displeasure, she was a little hesitant.Zeng's mother kept winking and told her to ask her to meet, while she busily waited for Shen Heli to sit down enthusiastically.

Shen Heli sat down opposite Gu Xinyue, Gu Xinyue saw that the general situation was gone, ignored him, and just lowered his head to eat noodles, the beef noodles in clear soup, served with side dishes, Gu Xinyue ate very politely, Shen Heli just looked at him like this.

No one could still eat after being stared at like this, Gu Xinyue put down his chopsticks after eating half a bowl.Zeng Ma took a handkerchief and mouthwash to clean him up.Only then did Daimei bring Shen Heli's beef noodles.

"This bowl is too delicate." Shen Heli took the noodle bowl and said with a smile, "I will be given a big bowl whenever I come here to eat."

Gu Xinyue saw that he picked up the leftover noodles and put them into his own bowl, and then pulled all the side dishes from the plate into the bowl, stirred them together and was ready to eat.Although his face remained unchanged, he was ready to get up and go somewhere else with his toes pointed out.

"Don't go yet, sit here and eat with me." Shen Heli said, "Actually, I was quite full from eating just now. For some reason, I saw you eating and wanted to eat."

Gu Xinyue didn't want to talk to him, but Zeng Ma kept winking at him, so she replied perfunctorily, "If you want to eat, eat more."

"Hehe." Shen Heli lowered his head and smiled.

Gu Xinyue's eyes fell on his head like a knife, he did it on purpose.

Shen Heli did it on purpose.But he obviously didn't come here just to eat a bowl of noodles. After eating the noodles, he took the veil and wiped his mouth, "I slept here today."

Gu Xinyue suppressed the depression rising in his heart, "Why do you want to sleep here all of a sudden? Didn't it mean that the bed is too soft, so you can't get used to it?"

"Madam did a great job today, I want to reward you." Shen Heli said.

Gu Xinyue said to Daimei with unchanged expression, "Go out and tell Shi Qing, Hua Qing, let them throw the man from Shuiyunjian to the gate of Zhang's house."

"Just kidding." Shen Heli said quickly.

Dai Mei raised her head and saw that Gu Xinyue didn't continue to carry out the order, she got up and went into the inner room to make the bed.

Gu Xinyue turned her head to look at Shen Heli, and Shen Heli said very seriously, "Can't I sleep here?"

"Of course." The rascal replied, but Gu Xinyue said with a hypocritical smirk, "You can sleep here." She picked up the book she hadn't finished reading during the day, and wasn't going to chat with him anymore.

"Today, the Gu family hauled another load of things from the commercial store, rice and oil daily necessities." Shen Heli said as if chatting, "The things are not worth much, but this is the third time this month."

Gu Xinyue didn't raise her head, "If he doesn't give you the money, don't let him drag things away. The money and the goods are equal, and this is the case everywhere."

"How should I put it, a little thing, if you really want to ask them for money, isn't it embarrassing for you? After all, it's your natal family. I can't let people point their noses and say I'm stingy." Shen Heli said.

"You're willing to be taken advantage of, and what are you talking to me about?" Gu Xinyue said, "I used to think that the aristocrats were superior and mighty. Only when I really got in touch with them did I know, tsk tsk." Shen Heli said with emotion.

"Do you want to reconcile?" Gu Xinyue asked.

"What?" Shen Heli said, "Of course not. I'm just expressing my feelings about the downtrodden eating habits of the nobles, and I don't mean to dislike you."

"If it wasn't for the aristocrat's downfall, how could a new rich man like you have the opportunity to marry a nobleman to decorate his appearance." Gu Xinyue said. "You are interested in their names, and they are interested in your money. It's all about transactions, and who is more noble than whom."

"Madam is absolutely right." Shen Heli said.

Jinxiu Garden is an exquisite forest garden in the Soviet style, but Gu Xinyue's bedroom is furnished with a comfortable Western-style bed.High beds with soft pillows and gorgeous curtains.

Shen Heli is not used to sleeping on soft beds, especially this kind of Western-style bed, which is not only soft but also highly elastic. After sleeping on it and waking up, he always feels that his body is not strong and uncomfortable.Except for the three days before the wedding, Shen Heli slept on the bed, and the next month he slept on the floor of Gu Xinyue's bedroom.

A month later, Gu Xinyue politely asked him to find another comfortable place to sleep.After that, Shen Heli never entered Gu Xinyue's bedroom again.

Gu Xinyue was chosen by Shen Heli himself.Shen Heli is from a small place below Kyoto Prefecture. He lost his father a long time ago. He went to the pier to earn money to support his family when he was eleven or twelve years old. He dared to go to sea with others when he was 14. After going to sea several times, he accumulated primitive funds and invested in river transportation. The major warlords have not yet reached a consensus, and after the European countries have tasted the sweetness, they rush to this former golden country to seek opportunities, and wars are raging everywhere.Shen Heli was also courageous enough to run out a few river transport lines with his life.

Later, the five major warlords formed an alliance, ruled under separate regimes, and jointly fought against foreign countries. It didn’t matter how their own families fought behind closed doors.When the situation stabilized, Shen Heli returned to Jingdu Prefecture to open a department store.This department store is an imported product. Both Linhai Prefecture and Zhongyuan Prefecture have very famous department stores. With his foresight and strong strength, Shen Heli gained a firm foothold in Kyoto Prefecture without much effort.

It's just that the situation is a bit stable. Because of the warlord's ambiguous attitude towards the old and the young, the nobles who have suffered a big blow during the change of dynasty are shaking again, and they have held real or false positions in the state government.Kyoto Prefecture is no more than the other three states. The base of nobles is too large. Even if a lot of them have disappeared, there are still many.If you want to sit back and relax in Kyoto Prefecture, you cannot ignore this group. Marriage is undoubtedly the best way.

Due to the situation, noble marriages are no longer limited to nobles, merchants and military households who were usually looked down upon are now also on their marriage list.

Shen Heli is young and promising, and has a good appearance. Ever since he announced his intention to get married, the matchmakers in Jingdu Prefecture have all been moved by the news.Among the many photos of women, Gu Xinyue's portrait is abrupt and eye-catching.

The Gu family is also a first-class family among the nobles. The centuries-old family is Gu Xinyue's grandfather, Gu Chengzhao. After the emperor was kicked out of the Dragon Throne, and then executed in secret, he knelt down and worshiped three times in the direction of the imperial mausoleum.He hanged himself at home and generously went to the country.

For this reason, no matter who is in charge of the capital, they must treat the Gu family three points preferentially. This is a model of loyalty to the emperor and the best target for face-saving projects.

This kind of people will look at him, Shen Heli doesn't believe it, after all, although he is powerful, his foundation is still shallow, if there are second-class and third-class nobles, first-, second- and third-class merchants, and second-class military households, such people will come to him Marriage is justified.

Shen Heli went to someone to investigate Gu Xinyue, the portrait was not clearer than the photo, but the cold and disdainful glance of the slanted Danfeng eyes went into his heart.

If it is said that Gu Chengzhao is a dragon, then his son, Gu Xinyue's father would feel insulted by using the word "long worm" to describe it.Weak and incompetent, greedy for flowers and lustful, forcibly taking women from merchants as concubines, pampering concubines and destroying wives, and after being mad at the original spouse, he helped the concubine to be upright.

The original spouse's family is in Central Plains, except for the disturbance in Kyoto after the original spouse's death, the rest of the time can't be bothered with this nephew.When Gu Xinyue was 11 years old, he suffered a serious illness, and his stepmother took the opportunity to raise fetal worms in his body, and he became a legitimate son of the original spouse who inherited the family business, and finally became a man and woman who had to marry out.

Just such a poor child, the portrait was in the hands of the matchmaker only because his eldest sister, the eldest daughter of the second wife, promised a capable brigade commander under the mighty Grand Marshal, who is actually in power in Kyoto Prefecture, and his stepmother rushed to take him After marrying off, in order to scare him off, he only found merchants.

Shen Heli knew the basic situation and readily hired him. He didn't get married for the sake of mutual affection. The name of Gu Chengzhao's grandson is very useful.Mrs. Shen Li was a little reluctant for her son to marry a man. Although she had raised fetal worms early on, her fertility was no different from that of ordinary women, but for a man to have a child, it is against the heavens to change his fate, and it is against the harmony of heaven.

Shen Heli only said that marrying him would help his career, and Shen Li also recognized it.She was born as a commoner, if it wasn't for her son's ability, she would never have imagined that one day she would have a noble daughter-in-law.
