Chapter 38 Prom

When Jiang Chengjun came to look for Gu Xinyue, Gu Xinyue was not surprised unexpectedly, he nodded his head as a gesture, as familiar as if he had met before.

"Mr. Gu's integrity is admirable. When I met Young Master Gu today, I realized that there is no dog in the family. Young Master Gu has an outstanding demeanor, which makes people happy to see him." Jiang Chengjun said.

"Don't dare to be the one, I'm not talented, so if you don't like it, call me Minxing." Gu Xinyue said.

"Then I'll call you Minxing." Jiang Chengjun said with a smile, "Minxing, thank you for your cooperation in the last farmland reform."

"The prime minister is dedicated to serving the people, and we have only modest efforts." Gu Xinyue said. "There is always a new era and a new atmosphere. If you stick to the rules and stand still, you will only make yourself lag behind. We are not Penghao people. We should be the first to break through the waves."

"Sure enough, I have ambitions." Jiang Chengjun said, "Why don't you come to the state capital and I'll find you a place."

"The prime minister is joking, the state capital is full of talents, and there is no place for someone like me." Gu Xinyue said with a smile.The meaning of this sentence is to praise Jiang Chengjun for his ability to govern, and the state capital is for those who can live instead of nepotism.Another meaning is that although it is a dynasty of iron-clad aristocratic families, the change this time is not only a change of dynasty, but a change of social form. The people in power now do not rely on the power of the aristocratic family to stand firm, and Jiang Chengjun may not like it either. A family that is too big to lose is involved.

Jiang Chengjun smiled and didn't insist, "In the second half of the year, the marshal is going to take down Luping. There is too little land to move in Kyoto. I plan to build a road to Luping. I will divide the open space from the suburbs of Luping to the direction of the capital as an economic land. If you want to attract people to set up factories and do business in the economic zone, I won’t take your [-] mu of land for nothing. When the land in the economic zone comes, you can choose the place yourself, and I will give you [-] mu of land.”

"It's not that I made money." Gu Xinyue said with a smile, but did not refuse.Favors are something that some people owe, and it doesn't hurt for some people to clear them up early.

Jiang Chengjun's smile revealed a little sincerity, "Smart man." Jiang Chengjun smiled and nodded at Gu Xinyue and said, after nodding, he said goodbye and went elsewhere. For such a big Mid-Autumn Festival, the time Jiang Chengjun can say a few words to Gu Xinyue is already Very face-saving.Even his active approach was a guiding light. After Jiang Chengjun left, many people came over to say hello to Gu Xinyue. After knowing that Gu Xinyue was the eldest son of the Gu family in Kyoto, they were surprised and even more cordial.A person who was framed by his stepmother could get such an important invitation even if he married an ordinary merchant. You didn't get an invitation without visiting the Gu family. What does this mean? It's not easy for this Gu Xinyue or this Shen Heli.

Gu Xinyue didn't show any annoyance at the never-ending crowd, and greeted him gracefully.

At the Mid-Autumn Festival party, no one in the Gu family received invitations. Although Gu Xinning also came with Zhao Zheng, she stayed with a group of military officers' wives after she came in wearing a dignified Xiuhe uniform.She is proud of herself, but in fact she doesn't think highly of those wives in her heart, so she still has to say some gossip to socialize.Zhao Zheng is a capable brigade commander, and she is also the object of many wives who need to curry favor.

"I heard that the young master of the Gu family is here today." A beautiful woman in a modified cheongsam stood up after hearing the news, "Whoever wants to go with me to have a look, the young master of the Gu family is not someone you can meet whenever you want."

People from Kyoto knew about Gu Xinyue, and they all laughed and said, "Is it true?"

They all looked at Gu Xinning who had never heard of who the Gu family was, and Gu Xinning herself was a little confused, "Here is Xincheng?" Before she came, her mother asked her if she could ask Zhao Zheng to make a prom card for her elder brother. When the invitation came, Zhao Zheng said no, and the person who she asked to go back to spread the message would give her mother a good face.Did he finally get it.

The beauty who stood up sneered, "What is Xincheng? I'm talking about the eldest son of the Gu family. He is the eldest son and grandson of the Gu family, and the grandson of the famous Wang family in Zaozhuang. It's okay for this person to occupy the magpie's nest, and he is shameless everywhere." It is rare for someone to be so thick-skinned as a magpie."

Gu Xinning's face suddenly turned pale, Gu Xinyue, where did he get the post?

"If you are curious, follow me to have a look." Li Ren smiled and said seductively. "Only after seeing Gu Xinyue, will I know that there are still men in this world who can grow up like this."

"Shen Ximu, don't you still think about marrying Gu Xinyue?" A woman she knew joked.

Shen Ximu raised his head, "Who doesn't like a character like him, and it just so happens that he also married a man named Shen, so I'll go and meet my brother, so I can walk around as a relative in the future."

"I'll follow you to see." People responded one after another. In the end, except for Gu Xinning and a few stubborn old-fashioned wives who thought that the party was for women to play with women and men to play with men, the rest of the women ran to see Gu Xinyue up.

After Gu Xinyue had a short rest, Shen Heli went to ask for a glass of water for him to drink. At the banquet, it was either fruit juice or wine. Shen Heli was worried that Gu Xinyue would not drink it. How could he do so without drinking water after talking so much.Gu Xinyue took the water and bent his mouth towards him, "Thank you."

"Usually when you are asked to attend a party, you have to go to rest before you can say a few words, but now you are not too tired." Shen Heli said a little sourly.

Gu Xinyue smiled, looked up and saw that no one was paying attention to this corner, approached Shen Heli, reached out to grab his palm, and scratched his palm with his fingers, "Gu Xinyue's husband, what do you think?"

Shen Heli grabbed his hand and responded with a helpless smile, "It's a great honor."

Gu Xinyue crooked the corners of his eyes.The two warmed up for a while, and soon someone came over with a wine glass. Shen Heli wanted Gu Xinyue to rest a little longer, and led him away from Gu Xinyue without a trace.

"Gu Xinyue." Shen Ximu's crisp voice sounded.

Gu Xinyue raised her eyes to follow the voice, saw that it was Shen Ximu, and said with a smile, "The little girl has grown up, and now she is not called brother anymore."

"How can there be such a heartless brother in the world, who said he didn't see anyone, but he really hasn't seen each other for nine years." Seeing Gu Xinyue's smile, Shen Ximu immediately felt sore eyes, sniffed his nose, and suppressed the urge to cry .

Gu Xinyue smiled, "Knowing that you are engaged, I have already prepared a congratulatory gift, because I wanted to give it to you in person, congratulations."

"Hmph, what are you talking about, if you didn't meet me here, when are you going to give it to me face to face, I succeed, have a baby, get old, and die in front of the spirit card." Shen Ximu said.

"Tongyan Wuji." Gu Xinyue said. "If you talk like this again, I will feel distressed."

Shen Ximu stared at him, "I'm infatuated with you, but I feel annoyed when you say a few words, why don't you think about the anguish of being rejected every year when I post every year, and I have to choose a time when I'm not around even when I go out , how distressed I should be."

"Yan Xiaochen is a good man. He is filial and sincere. You will be happy if you marry him." Gu Xinyue said, "Don't just look at his background. With his intelligence and ability, it's only a matter of time before you get ahead. Your grandpa found it for you." The door is so dear."

"Whether he is good or not is like that. Even if he is the granddaughter of a direct relative, she is just a pawn in the family marriage." Shen Ximu said angrily, "I promised to marry you when I was six years old, and my grandfather also agreed. In this way, Brother Yue, why did you get sick in the first place, and why were you taken advantage of by others."

"Hush." ​​Gu Xinyue stopped her from continuing, "I can't say any more, don't say such things in the future. Big girl, your grandfather just found you the best family among the limited choices. You have to live your own life well. Yan Xiaochen heard what you said, and if you want to come to me in the future, he should not be happy."

"Can I look for you again in the future?" Shen Ximu who was originally depressed suddenly became energetic again, "I thought you were going to close the door again and not see anyone for several years."

"Just treat me as an older brother from now on, let's have a good relationship." Gu Xinyue said, he still has a bit of love for this younger sister who always loved to cling to him in childhood.

"Understood. 'Sister Yue'—" Shen Ximu said mischievously.

At this moment, Gu Xinyue noticed a group of women gathered in the distance, and looked over here, "What's wrong with them?" Gu Xinyue asked.

"I said that the eldest son of the Gu family has gone out of the deep boudoir, let everyone who wants to see it come and see, what is peerless beauty." Shen Ximu took his hand and said, "Brother Yue has become more and more beautiful when he grows up, why not me?" Yes, Shen Heli, I have to see what kind of person has such a blessing, I guess there is a lot of smoke on the ancestral grave."

Gu Xinyue was amused by her words, she smiled and rolled her eyes, making those who came to see him even more distracted.

It was already late at night after the dance party, Gu Xinyue and Shen Heli went home by car, Gu Xinyue moved her body, leaned her head on Shen Heli's shoulder, and stayed in a comfortable posture, "Are you tired? If you don't go back, don't watch the moon, just go to sleep .”

"I can hold on for a while." Gu Xinyue closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, "It's a tradition to appreciate the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival. They have been waiting for so long, how can we go back and cancel it?"

"Who is Shen Ximu?" Shen Heli asked pretending not to care, "Suddenly ran out to call my brother, and introduced me to his fiancé as her brother from the same family. Pie, it's good to have a word with him."

"You can't write two Shen characters in one stroke, and you can always have some relatives if you go back and forth. It's okay to call your elder brother." Gu Xinyue said with a smile, "She is the granddaughter of Shen Yukun, Master Shen, two years younger than me, A good friend I saw often when I was young.”

"Changping Shen family, I really dare not answer this sentence of my brother." Shen Heli said. "If I were also from the Changping Shen family, your little uncle wouldn't say those things to me."

"Well, but at that time you will know how easy it is to just be said a few words without pain compared to the trouble of marrying aristocratic families." Gu Xinyue said.

"I heard that she wanted to marry you when she was young?" Shen Heli asked.

"It's just a kid's joke." Gu Xinyue opened his eyes and looked at him, "Yan Xiaochen can befriend you without caring, don't say you still care. I don't like it if you are so narrow-minded."

"My heart is as broad as the sea, but I keep everything about you in a small heart. Knowing that others like you, I will be jealous and uneasy." Shen Heli said.

"There are two more sentences." Gu Xinyue said with a smile, "You still have two more disgusting words today."

"If Yuezhi can tell me such things, no matter how much I do, I won't feel sick, and no matter how much I do, I won't feel tired. When will I have such a dream?" Shen Heli said with a sigh.

"I'm by your side now, what more do you want so that you don't feel uneasy?" Gu Xinyue asked.
