Chapter 161 I have a lovely wife at home, who is much more beautiful and interesting than you
Gu Wei frowned immediately, then took Xie Ling's hand and held her in his arms.
"The wind is strong, come stand on my side."
Shi Shaoxuan and a few other kids didn't understand and looked puzzled.
Xie Ling understood, and called him "husband" in a delicate voice, which almost made her feel sick to death. She pinched her arm hard to suppress the numb feeling.
Gu Wei curled his lips slightly, lowered his eyes, and there was a hint of smile in his eyes.
"This is the first time you called me husband."
Xie Ling thought that the woman in red would give up.
It is normal for an outstanding man to attract the attention of others.
But she and Gu Wei are husband and wife.
But she underestimated the sense of shame of some people.
After the woman in red asked her brother about what happened, her eyes gradually turned cold. She played with a small braid on her shoulder, murderous intent evident in her eyes.
He patted the boy on the shoulder and whispered something to him.
The woman walked straight over, crossed her arms over her chest, and said in a condescending tone, "This man, come with me, I will not pursue what happened today. Even if I can't give you the position of husband, you are still qualified to be a male concubine."
As he spoke, he looked Gu Wei up and down, with a teasing and playful look as if he was looking at an object.
He looked at Xie Ling with even more contempt, shook his head, and said with regret.
"I just heard you call him husband, are you his wife? Tsk tsk, such a good man is really wasted. Give him to me, only a woman like me can match him."
Xie Ling's eyes widened. Where did this Pu Xin girl come from?
Gu Wei sensed Xie Ling's anger, touched the top of her head, and signaled her to calm down.
Then he raised his eyebrows slightly and said in a cold voice: "I want the jade pendant too, and I will ask for justice. As for you."
Gu Wei paused, then raised his eyelids coldly, as if just one look at her had fouled his eyes.
"Get away from me. I have a lovely wife at home who is much prettier and more interesting than you."
As soon as these words were spoken, the guards behind the woman all took a deep breath at the same time.
This is the first time in all the years they have been on duty that they have seen someone dare to treat the young lady like this. Is he trying to kill himself?
The eyes of the woman in red suddenly became as ferocious as a poisonous snake, making people shudder.
The next moment, a long whip with barbs came straight towards him!
"You bastard, if you don't accept my toast, then I'll punish you! Today I'll let you see how powerful I am! I'll beat you to death, you little white face!"
Without even raising his eyelids, Gu Wei grabbed the end of the whip, then pulled it hard and threw the woman to the side.
The woman fell heavily into the sand and mud, and was soaked by the surging waves, looking miserable.
Gu Wei narrowed his narrow peach blossom eyes and threw the woman's whip directly at her feet.
Then he raised his eyebrows at the group of tall and strong guards, his eyes slightly angry, "What are you waiting for? Come on together."
The guards were all shocked.
You have to know that the young lady is a martial arts genius. All the guards in the mansion combined can't beat her with just a finger. How could she be killed in an instant like this?
So how strong is this guy?
Although they were afraid, the guards still went ahead.
While holding Xie Ling, Gu Wei knocked down all the burly guards with just one hand, and they lay on the ground unable to get up.
Xie Ling only felt a few gusts of wind blowing overhead, and in the blink of an eye, the ground was filled with people.
A sharp wind blew past my ears.
Without even taking a breath, Gu Wei raised his hand and grabbed the whip that the woman in red was swinging at him.
This time the woman learned her lesson and let go quickly.
Gu Wei then whipped her on the back and looked down at her.
"Why don't you return the jade pendant?"
The woman gritted her teeth and said, "Impossible! Just wait!"
Gu Wei dodged directly over and clamped the chin of the tall and thin boy with such great strength that it left purple marks on the boy's chin.
"Return the jade pendant."
The young man was in so much pain that tears of rationality flowed from his eyes, and he hurriedly threw out a jade pendant made of white jade from his sleeve.
Shi Shaoxuan hurried over, carefully placed the jade pendant in his sleeve, and patted it gently.
"Little jade pendant, you are finally back..."
Xie Ling saw that the jade pendant was of excellent quality and estimated that it was one of the few good things brought out by the Shi family. No wonder Shi Shaoxuan was so angry.
Only after Shi Shaoxuan took the jade pendant did Gu Wei let go of his hand.
The young man gasped for breath and stared at Gu Wei. Although he was young, his eyes were as cruel as a venomous snake or a ferocious beast, and were as chilling as her sister's.
Gu Wei didn't even look at anyone else. He turned around and winked at Yunchuan and Gu Li behind him.
"Walk."
Just leave in style.
The three little boys were so impressed by Gu Wei's handsomeness that stars kept flashing in their eyes. They admired him very much and secretly vowed to themselves that they would learn martial arts well in the future!
After Gu Wei walked away, the voice of the woman in red floated from afar.
Gnashing teeth, with full hatred.
"I will definitely skin you alive and throw you to the sharks!"
Gu Wei didn't even stop, as if he didn't hear it.
Gu Li tugged at Gu Wei's clothes and frowned, "Brother, what should we do?"
Gu Wei paused, with some thought of teaching his brother a lesson, and asked, "Are you wondering why I didn't kill him here?"
Although Gu Li is only twelve years old, he has been relatively precocious since childhood. Having experienced major changes in his family, he has become tough and steady.
He nodded thoughtfully, "Brother, do you think I am too cruel and not like a child?"
Gu Wei shook his head, "No. It would be easy to kill them, but there are so many people here and they can see everything clearly, so it's not easy to kill them.
You must remember that you are not alone. You have family and companions behind you. If you kill someone on a whim, what will happen if you are held accountable later?
Also, human life is very precious. It is best not to kill unless it is absolutely necessary. Today is to give them a chance. If they come to cause trouble again, it will not be too late to take action. Do you understand?"
Although Gu Li is still young, he is mentally too smart. Gu Wei doesn't want him to be exposed to too many dark things.
Anyway, he has his brother to support me if the sky falls.
Gu Li should just be like Ru Jie'er and be a carefree child.
The three little boys nodded, not quite understanding.
Shi Shaoxuan said something shocking and scratched his head, "Just let them live a few more days before killing them, right?"
Gu Wei's forehead was covered with sweat, "Uh... kind of."
The waves were growing bigger and bigger, almost hitting our feet, and the wind was howling like the roar of a wild beast.
The sea at night is inky black and looks terrifying for no reason.
The group quickened their pace and soon met up with the others.
Pei's Xu Xingzhi and the others had already packed up and were waiting for them behind a reef.
As soon as Gu Wei passed by, Pei asked worriedly, "Where did you go? I thought the waves blew you away!"
Shi Shaoxuan and several other children immediately frowned and looked around nervously.
In their eyes, Gu Wei and Xie Ling were their partners, not adults.
Pei and others are the parents of the adults.
After all, it was a quarrel with someone outside, and no one wanted to let the parents know, for fear of being criticized.
Especially Shi Shaoxuan, he was so nervous that sweat broke out on his forehead.
Both his father and brother were strict in character. If they had known that he almost lost the jade pendant, they would have beaten him up.
Xie Ling tried to smooth things over, "Mother-in-law, we thought the sunset was beautiful, so we just watched it a little longer. I'm sorry for making you worry."
The three children let out a long breath.
The way he looked at Xie Ling was like seeing his parents again.
Woo woo woo Sister Xie Ling, you are our God!
After hearing what Xie Ling said, Pei put away her serious expression and scratched Xie Ling's nose affectionately.
"Since Ah Ling said so, forget it. Just come back earlier next time."
He turned to Gu Wei with a serious look again, "Come back earlier next time!"
The group picked up the abundant seafood and headed towards Yu Yichou's residence.
From afar, at the main entrance, I saw a tall and graceful man in white, with a feather fan and a scarf, and he looked cold and calm, with a calm and peaceful look in his eyes, as if he was a banished immortal who was not tainted by the world.
Pei took a look and almost fell into a trance, her eyes instantly moistened, "Isn't that Yun brother? Shi Jin, am I seeing right? That's your eldest brother!"
Ru Jieer recognized Yu Yichou and immediately ran over, saying cheerfully, "Brother Yu!"
Yu Yichou's eyes lit up, and he bent down to pick up Ru Jie'er, "Ru Ru, you still remember me."
Pei's eyes were moist and her body staggered. She stared at Yu Yichou's figure and felt that the man looked more like her eldest son in her tearful eyes.
"Brother Yu? Why does Sister Ru call him Brother Yu? Shi Jin, who is that person?"
Gu Wei hurriedly supported Pei and said in a solemn tone, "Mother, that person is A Ling's friend, Yu Yichou, the imperial teacher of Beijiang, not my brother!"
"Not your eldest brother? But he looks just like your eldest brother!"
Pei is now just a stubborn mother.
Desperately hoping that her son was still alive.
Even if I am deceiving myself, I don't want to wake up.
Gu Wei led Pei directly over and said, "Mother, you can see for yourself. Although Brother Yu is slightly similar to my eldest brother, they are still different."
Pei grabbed Yu Yichou's sleeve and looked at him carefully. "The eyes and nose are similar, but the mouth is different. Your eldest brother's facial features are more heroic, and his back is broader, just like your father...
I remember now, this is the young man who was beside the goddess when the plague broke out before... My eyes are blurry, please don't blame me, Imperial Master."
As Pei spoke, it seemed as if all his strength was drained away in an instant, and his face became dejected.
Gu Wei hurriedly helped her up, "Mother, my brother should not be dead. I sent someone to check, and there is a glimmer of hope."
Pei's eyes lit up, "Really? Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Gu Wei frowned, "I'm afraid the news is wrong and you're just disappointed."
Yu Yichou, who was standing by, said gently, "How could I possibly blame my aunt? Everyone knows how parents feel. To be honest, I found my aunt to be very kind and she looks a lot like my mother."
"Your mother looks like me? Yun Ge'er is the one who looks most like me......"
Pei clenched her sleeves, thoughts flashing through her mind, but she didn't know how to say it out loud.
Gu Wei said: "Let's go in first, everyone is tired all day and hasn't eaten yet."
"Row."
Pei hid the thought in her eyes.
Xie Ling waited until they finished talking before coming over and smiling, "Long time no see, Yu Yichou!"
Yu Yichou nodded and said with a smile: "On the way here, I thought I might meet an old friend. Now it seems that this trip is really worthwhile. How was the journey?"
Xie Ling spread her hands, "It's OK, you should know about our escape. But now Gu Wei's identity has to be changed."
"how do I say this?"
Xie Ling briefly and skillfully described the process of how Gu Wei obtained the documents.
Yu Yichou nodded after pondering, "Zhou Shijing? I have seen this man before. He is an honest official. I didn't expect him to encounter such a thing. It's really pitiful. Is he and Gu Wei also destined to be together? I will just live for him and benefit Lingnan.
By the way, all civil servants in the imperial court need a letter of recommendation from a county or higher level to take office. The nearest prefecture above Sinan County is Jiaozhou. The imperial court probably sent Zhou Shijing's biographical information to the governor of Jiaozhou a long time ago. I just asked the governor to write it to Gu Wei so that he wouldn't be questioned."
Upon hearing this, Xie Ling felt thankful that Yu Yichou was there, otherwise she would not have been able to get the recommendation letter, and her going to Sinan County would have been unjustified.
That being said, if an official could take office with just a document, then he would be too dangerous. Anyone could kill him and impersonate him.
In the main hall, everyone was filling two large vats of water from the well. They all sat on the ground casually, washing the seafood diligently.
Yu Yichou was surprised, "You actually picked up so much? People from the inland can't eat this."
Yu Yichou didn't like eating seafood either, but he couldn't refuse the prefect's kindness and kept sending him seafood every day. He felt embarrassed, so he had to call his two little attendants to eat with him so as not to waste the prefect's kindness.
Xie Ling shook her head. "You'll know in a moment."
After saying that, Xie Ling walked forward and patted Yu Niang, Gao Wanhua, and the two young wives of the Wu family on the shoulders.
"Let's go to the kitchen."
After a while, bursts of fragrance wafted from the kitchen, fresh, fragrant and spicy, making people drool.
Gao Wanhua leaned against the door frame and shouted:
"Come in and carry the food!"
The people sitting there were already impatient and hurried into the kitchen.
Soon, all kinds of seafood dishes filled the long table.
Salt-baked conch, spicy fried clams, small seafood in sauce, garlic scallops, grilled squid…
The aroma is rich and tempting, with a pungent spicy taste that immediately makes people salivate.
Let's get to work, everyone.
It's totally different from what I ate yesterday.
Fresh, fragrant and spicy, all the essence is concentrated in that little piece of meat, which is extremely tender and tasty. Even the soup is not wasted and is sucked up quickly.
Although there is only a small amount of meat, it instantly bursts with a rich aroma in your mouth, with a lingering sweetness and freshness, which is the unique charm of seafood.
Yu Yichou suddenly remembered that the prefect had sent him a dozen coconuts a few days ago, and he hurried to move them.
"This, you can drink it by cracking the top, the juice inside is very clear and sweet."
Seafood is so delicious, all it needs is good wine and delicious food!
Everyone took a bite of the fresh and delicious seafood and drank a sip of the clear and sweet coconut water, feeling extremely happy.
Looking at the lively courtyard and harmonious atmosphere, Yu Yichou's eyes were full of smiles. The coldness on his body faded a little, and he took on a worldly air, finally like a living person.
Gu Wei washed his hands and came over.
Yu Yichou raised his eyebrows, "I also happen to have something to say, you go first."
Gu Wei looked straight at Yu Yichou's face.
"What I want to talk about is your life experience. Do you know who your mother is?"
