Chapter 1330
Watching the two of them walk away, the eldest and youngest wives were also confused. They didn't know what was going on and why they had to hide it from them. However, after seeing Shuang'er, who was a little restrained, the eldest wife's eyes lit up and she said to her with a smile.
"Miss Shuang'er, come and sit here, don't stand. There are two children, sit down together."
The youngest wife watched her enthusiastically pull Shuang'er to sit next to her. A trace of envy flashed in her eyes. She touched her belly angrily. Why was she so unpromising that she didn't even have an heir? She could only envy her.
She wanted to build a good relationship with Shuang'er so that she could introduce her to her grandson in the future. She knew this without seeing it.
On the other side, Gu Zheng and Xu Jing came to a quiet side hall. They thought they would sit down in the only seat, but unexpectedly, Xu Jing walked to an unknown skull coin, which was obviously placed on the wall as a decoration.
But he pressed on one of the tiny bones, and with a slight vibration, a secret door appeared on the wall. He didn't expect that there was a secret room hidden here.
Xu Jing winked at Gu Zheng, motioning him to follow, and then walked in.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng followed him in.
Just after walking in, Xu Jing inside pressed a switch, and the door behind him closed silently to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.
It's no wonder that Xu Jing was so careful, because seeing that the other party came here with a hidden identity, he definitely didn't want others to know his true identity.
Although the secret room is small, it is also fully equipped with tables, chairs, and beds. There is even a bookcase next to it, and there is no stuffy air in the air. It seems that the ventilation effect is good.
"Mr. Gu, I didn't expect you to have the token of your ancestors. I really offended you just now." Here, Xu Jing said respectfully, as if Gu Zheng was the person he looked up to.
"It's okay. Besides, I came here to rely on you for some things. I'm sorry for disturbing you." Gu Zheng also came to the table and sat down casually.
"Mr. Gu is very broad-minded. I wonder what you want to do this time?" Xu Jing asked.
He knew from the message of his ancestors that the person holding this token was a real immortal. His power was beyond their imagination. However, his ancestors had died long ago. That simple magic method was left to their descendants. Be careful not to annoy him.
Later, it was also proposed that this immortal had a very good heart. If you are lucky enough to find Fengcheng and come here to ask for something, then you can ask him for help when the opportunity is ripe.
This hidden picture can only be seen by direct blood relatives. If Xu Jing hadn't seen the hidden information, he would have missed it.
"I didn't come here for anything else this time. I just came to find someone, but my apprentice and sister need a stable place, so I just came to disturb you. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to." Gu Zheng smiled slightly.
"Mr. Gu, it is our honor that you can come to us. Of course, we are very willing. It's just that you are wronged to be my son." Xu Jing said hurriedly. At this time, there was actually an immortal who took the initiative to live in his house. If something happened, wouldn't the other party just watch and not take action? Then he could rest assured.
"This false reputation is nothing. Just give us the convenience of coming and going at any time. If there is anything, you can also tell me." Gu Zheng said with a smile.
Gu Zheng didn't want the other party to get involved. He wanted to investigate some things quietly by himself. If necessary, he would certainly use his identity to act.
"No problem, I will handle this little thing for you." Xu Jing said immediately, as if as long as Gu Zheng handled everything, he could satisfy the other party.
At that moment, after Xu Jing asked the other party some taboos, the two of them walked out quickly. At this time, only an incense stick of time had passed.
At this time, Shuang'er over there was already blushing. This lady had been wanting to introduce her little son to him and kept praising him. The meaning was too obvious.
Seeing Gu Zheng and the others coming back, the lady shut up, letting Shuang'er breathe a sigh of relief. She didn't know how to refuse them yet.
Back in the living room, Xu Jing told the lady that they had almost the same rights as his sons, which was incredible to them. They didn't know what they talked about, but they gave them such great rights.
It was just her master's order, so the lady had to nod and agree. Since Gu Zheng was definitely a relative, they were actually family members, and there was no big difference.
It was just that some of the ladies' children were also at home, but they were really treated as ordinary guests. At least they had to be notified if something happened, but Gu Zheng and the others didn't have to, and they could walk in at any time except for some special places.
Of course, Xu Jing explained to them that their ancestral home had a great favor to their elders, and since they came here, she would definitely treat them well.
The lady quickly asked Xu Wei, who was waiting outside, to come in and told them to vacate one of the courtyards so that the four of them could live alone.
Xu Wei was really surprised this time, but it was nothing, since those disciples didn't dare to provoke him anyway, so they nodded and said they were here, and immediately went to give the order.
They didn't have to wait too long, and while Gu Zheng was still chatting casually, Xu Wei walked in again.
"Master, everything is ready."
"Okay, nephew Gu Xian, you can rest first. I will introduce you to all the young people here in two days." Xu Jing said directly after hearing this. This was what Gu Zheng had talked about in the secret room before.
The person you are looking for has a relatively high status. Let yourself get to know more people and see if they have any clues, which can save you a lot of effort.
"Master Gu, Miss Shuang'er, please." Xu Wei's attitude was more respectful this time, and he was directly promoted from young master to young master. It seemed that he had not calculated what he had guessed before. While leading the way, he praised Xu Mansion's achievements to Gu Zheng and others. everything.
Soon, the three people turned back and forth several times on several paths in the courtyard, and arrived at the outside of a single courtyard. There were already several maids inside, who were the servants assigned to them by the master.
"Just evacuate these people, I don't need them." Gu Zheng frowned and said to Xu Wei.
"No problem. If necessary, please feel free to ask." Xu Wei directly shouted and called out all the maids. Before leaving, he said to Gu Zheng.
"Master Gu, you haven't finished your meal yet. I've asked the kitchen to cook it for you. I'll bring it to you in a moment."
At this time, next to the courtyard, a dozen men and women were looking at this place curiously. However, the sky was dark, and they could only distinguish two adults, a man, a woman, and two children, but each of them looked unhappy.
No one will be happy if anyone who is living well is kicked out just to make room for others.
However, they didn't have the courage to resist. The Xu family leader meant absolute authority here, and no one dared to object. However, they just wanted to send two people to see who the other party was, but the other party walked in directly and closed the courtyard. Door.
The two people walking halfway looked ugly, but the other party could drive them out, and his status was obviously higher than them.
"Who are those people? How rude?"
"Yes, I don't know why the owner of the family allows them to live here. You must know that only your own people can live here."
Those people complained one after another, but they quickly went back to their new residences. Although it was good, it was obviously not as good as that place.
Gu Zheng stood in the yard, ignoring the people outside. The environment here was elegant, exquisite, and exceptionally clean. There was even a small pool on one side with some fish and shrimps in it, which was very Chen Gu Zheng's liking.
He didn't expect there to be such a scene in a busy city, so Xu Wei chose a good place for him.
Gu Zheng knew that even in the Xu family, there were few places so quiet.
The whole yard is very large. In theory, twenty people can live here without any problem. Although there are faint traces of some people living inside, it is obvious that no one has lived in the several rooms next to the main house.
Moreover, all the beddings inside have been replaced with new ones, and the layout of the room is worthy of the courtyard. It is much higher than the neighboring rooms.
It seems that even those people only live where the servants live here, and they don't dare to live here.
Gu Zheng felt even more satisfied with this. At least from the first day, the Xu family had left such a good impression on him.
It seemed that Xu Wei had arranged the kitchen a long time ago. Gu Zheng and the others had just finished looking at their respective rooms when a knock on the door soon came, along with an alluring fragrance wafting in the wind.
Ah Shai ran to open the door without any instructions. Several maids came in one after another carrying lunch boxes and took out a bunch of exquisite side dishes on a stone table in the courtyard.
After a delicious meal, Ah Shai and Xiao Lan covered their bellies and hummed again. Although the food they had eaten along the way was not bad, it was not at the same level as the chef of the Xu family, so the two of them were full again. .
In the blink of an eye, the night passed.
To Gu Zheng's surprise, someone informed them early in the morning that at noon, the head of the Xu family was going to introduce some of their own people to Gu Zheng in the banquet hall. Gu Zheng also understood what the other party was thinking and agreed immediately.
Before noon, Gu Zheng and the four of them had already set off, but they didn't expect that Xu Wei was standing guard at their door, as if waiting for them.
"Master Gu, I have been given full authority to take charge of everything for you." Xu Wei saw Gu Zheng's confusion and explained immediately.
By the time Gu Zheng and the others arrived, many boys and girls were already sitting on the huge long table in the banquet hall, and the sky above was a ball. It seemed that the Xu family head and his party had not arrived yet.
Seeing Gu Zheng come in, these people who had already received the news looked over curiously.
Compared with yesterday's blur, this one is even more stunning when you look closer. Especially the boys sitting here are all focused on Shuang'er, while the girls are just the opposite, all focused on Gu. Fight for yourself.
The woman was full of aura, especially her big spiritual eyes, which made everyone's hearts flutter when they looked at her. The man also had a mysterious aura. Everyone was filled with indignation and wanted to give them a blow, but at this time they disappeared.
"Miss Shuang'er, I didn't expect you to be so beautiful. Come and sit here. There is an empty seat in Zhenghai, my side." The well-informed person immediately stood up and shouted, breaking the calm.
The attention of those girls also shifted from Gu Zheng to Shuang'er, and a trace of envy flashed in their eyes. In comparison, they really turned into ugly ducklings.
"Miss Shuang'er, come here, my place is much cleaner." Another voice suddenly sounded, inviting Miss Shuang'er.
They all knew that several new relatives of the Xu family arrived yesterday, and when they moved here, they overbearingly occupied many people's residences, which made everyone a little unhappy.
Because they are direct or collateral Xu family members, and there are some people who defected here, but at least they are also relatives of Mrs. So-and-so.
Although the other party is also a relative of the Xu family, they are only of the same blood, and they don't know where it went. They had already discussed everything, but when they saw each other, the united camp was instantly broken.
No one wanted to provoke the other party at this time, so Shuang'er completely conquered them with her unparalleled appearance, and those people instantly became jealous.
But when everyone saw each other like this, they all understood what the other person meant.
"Brother, come here and do it." Suddenly a young man who was close to the inside stood up and shouted loudly. When everyone invited Shuang'er, he was inviting Gu Zheng, because according to the news, that young man was Miss Shuang'er. Brother, are these fools gone?
"There are just a few seats here for you to sit together." The young man said with a smile.
Gu Zheng looked up and saw that it was indeed the case. There were already people sitting near here, and it was impossible for the four of them to sit down at the same time.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng walked directly there, and Shuang'er naturally followed him.
Those who saw this scene suddenly remembered that Miss Shuang'er must listen to her brother, which made them really beat their chests. Why didn't they think of this?
However, they thought that the other party would be aggressive as soon as they came here, so no one asked Gu Zheng. Only a few people nodded lightly towards Gu Zheng to express their goodwill.
Seeing Gu Zheng and the others coming here, the man felt happy, but he did not rush to say hello to Miss Shuang'er. Instead, he smiled lightly at Gu Zheng to express his welcome.
"Thank you." Gu Zheng said casually and did it next to him.
"It's okay, brother." The young man said with a smile, "My name is Xu Fei, it's our first time meeting you. Please take care of me."
This gesture actually made Shuang'er next to him chuckle. How could he talk like this the first time they met and let others take care of him.
Xu Fei's eyes were stunned at this moment, and he almost stared out of his eyes. Shuang'er's face turned red and she turned her head away from looking at him.
"Mr. Xu, it seems that I don't need to introduce myself. Everyone seems to know us." Gu Zheng seemed not to notice and chuckled.
"There's something going on." Seeing Shuang'er turning his head, Xu Fei thought that his behavior just now would anger Gu Zheng next to him, but he didn't expect that the other person didn't seem angry at all.
"Of course, your high-profile behavior yesterday has been spread throughout the morning." Xu Fei cheered up and spoke carefully, especially those who were driven away, and even told everyone about Gu Zheng and their domineering behavior. .
Only then did Gu Zheng realize why he felt a little resentful even before he came in.
As for why he came here, it was also because the other party happened to have some aura of Zhao Man left on him. Although it was very faint, at least the other party had been in contact with Zhao Man, and not just once or twice.
In fact, he didn't need to say anything, Gu Zheng would also come here and sit down.
Before Gu Zheng could say anything, a few scattered footsteps sounded outside again, and the head of the Xu family came in with a group of people.
He had a smile on his face and seemed to be in a good mood.
Behind him were several women whom he had never seen before at work, who seemed to be his other wives.
There were two butler-looking people following behind.
By the time everyone sat down on the main seat one by one, most of the people had already arrived.
At this time, with the arrival of Xu Jing and others, plates of delicious food were served, but no one touched their mouths.
"Nephew Gu Xian, it seems you have been here a long time ago. I have something to do over there, so I came late." Xu Jing said enthusiastically.
Seeing Xu Jing being so kind to Gu Zheng and feeling no different from his own son, a man who complained about Gu Zheng felt a little dissatisfied and quickly stood up and said.
"Grandpa, are we here just for this person? You know, I still have a lot of things to do over there."
Xu Jing heard the grandson's dissatisfaction, and his smiling face immediately darkened. He glared at him and said in a deep voice.
"Do you have any identity here? What do you mean by this person? This person is the nephew of the ancient Zhengguang. His ancestors have made great contributions to our Xu family. How could you say so rudely? Stop doing your work and hand over the matter. Regarding your matter, please send someone over to the housekeeper." Xu Jing turned to the side and said.
"Yes, sir." The middle-aged butler immediately dressed up and bowed slightly and said.
"Grandpa, I." The man's face turned pale, and he wanted to say something, but when he was glared at by Xu Jingna, he sat down in despair. It was obvious that he had become the first person.
There was a commotion in the banquet hall, and a woman dressed in rich clothes below wrinkled her face and said dissatisfiedly.
"Master, Hua'er didn't mean it. Even if you say it, why should you be so mean to him? He is your grandson."
"Needless to say, I will never change the decision I made." Xu Jing waved his hand and stopped the other party from making Hua Yun's next move.
Xu Jing's words immediately made everyone focus on Gu Zheng and the others again. They didn't expect that the other party had such an important weight in Xu Jing's eyes. His grandson was dismissed from his post just for questioning.
However, in this way, those who did not like Gu Zheng would have an even worse impression. However, after seeing Miss Shuang'er next to them, they all secretly said that Miss Shuang'er could not be counted, after all, she did nothing.
Of course, at this time, they would not deliberately find trouble with Gu Zheng. It was obvious that Xu Jing was protecting him, and no one would make trouble for themselves.
Even his beloved grandson ended up like this. They did not want to lose his favor. They were silent and looked at what Xu Jing would do next.
