After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine - Chapter 19

[Chapter 19]

When Jiang Suizhou went to Gu Changyun’s room again that night, unexpectedly, Gu Changyun and Xu Du were still in the bedroom.

The table was already laid out with food, and there was not a single waiter left.

Seeing Jiang Suizhou come in, the two saluted him, and Gu Changjun poured tea for him.

Jiang Suizhou sat down at the top.

“The lord said he was coming this morning, and his subordinates specially made a squirrel mandarin fish.” Gu Changyun said with a smile, and moved the plate of fish to Jiang Suizhou.

“Lord, try it?”

Jiang Suizhou couldn’t help but be a little puzzled.

I didn’t like sweet food at first, especially such sweet and sour Jiangnan dishes. A few days after he came to Jiangnan, the dining table in his room has always been dominated by northern dishes.

Does the original owner love sweets?

He looked at Gu Changyun suspiciously, and saw Gu Changyun raised his eyebrows with a bit of surprise on his face.

“Don’t you want to eat it, Lord?”

Jiang Suizhou didn’t say anything, stretched out his chopsticks and took a piece of fish from the plate.

The mouth of the fish was sweet and fragrant, so tired that Jiang Suizhou’s brows could not help wrinkling.

He paused under his chopsticks.

Although the soul of King Jing is his now, the structure of his body is still King Jing’s. In addition to experience, taste buds can affect people’s food preferences. He was born not fond of sweets and had no psychological barriers, so his body’s response to this chopstick fish must come from the body itself.

The original owner didn’t like sweets either, so Gu Changyun’s move was clearly trying him.

Jiang Suizhou chewed a few times and looked at Gu Changyun lightly.

Seeing a slight smile on Gu Changyun’s face, he seemed relieved after his doubts were dispelled.

Jiang Suizhou didn’t say anything, he just looked at him coldly, with two points of scrutiny and warning in his eyes.

Gu Changjun noticed it immediately, blinked slightly, and said with a smile: “Sure enough, the lord still doesn’t like sweets. It’s just a pity that this famous Jiangnan dish has not caught the eyes of the lord for three years.”

Jiang Suizhou slowly put down his chopsticks . .

“You are very courageous.” He looked down at the table and said lightly.

Gu Changyun looked at him and didn’t speak for a while.

Jiang Suizhou asked, “Can you get the result you want?”

Gu Changyun paused, then laughed softly.

“What did the lord say? The subordinates are just looking at the fresh mandarin fish that the house has brought in these days, and want them to try it with the lord.”

Jiang Suizhou’s knuckles slowly touched the table. ground buckle.

If anyone who knew him was here, he would definitely be able to see that this was his habitual action when he saw through the lies of the other party and thought about countermeasures.

Jiang Suizhou knew that they saw that they were not the original owners.

He was mentally prepared. After all, these two are the trusted staff of the original owner, and they will definitely know the bottom line, not to mention getting along day and night. And since these two people can be brought under the command of the original owner, they can never be idle people. It is very difficult to fool them.

But he didn’t expect that when he met the second time, the other party began to test him.

This proves that from the first time they met, the two were aware of the difference between him and the original owner.

The knuckles collided with the wooden table top and bottom, the sound was soft, and it swayed in the quiet room.

At this moment, Xu Du, who had been waiting on one side, spoke.

“Lord forgive me, Chang Yun is just being a little naughty.” He stood up.

Jiang Suizhou looked at him and saw that Xu Du gave him a deep salute.

“However, the Lord rest assured that no matter what happens, his loyalty to the Lord will be seen from heaven and earth.”

This is showing loyalty.

Jiang Suizhou knew that he was telling him that no matter who he became now, as long as he was still their master, they would be loyal to him.

He lowered his eyes, took a sip of tea, and suppressed the sweetness in his mouth.

Naturally, he wouldn’t believe it.

But he also knew that now his identity is self-evident among the three. He gave a warning, and the other party also showed his loyalty, and any persecution at this time was useless.

He needed facts to prove whether Xu Du’s loyalty was true or false. Before that, what he has to do is to find a way to find a weight that can restrain the other party and prevent them from betraying himself.

Jiang Suizhou picked up his chopsticks again, as if the confrontation just now had never happened, and calmly talked to them about the letter he received yesterday.

Xu Du and Gu Changjun also discussed the contents of the letter with him as if nothing had happened.

Just like the last time they met, the two were well-organized, well-thought-out, and had a lot of opinions. When proposing countermeasures, they were usually straight-forward, which coincided with Jiang Suizhou’s analysis based on historical data.

It was as if he was really the original owner, trying his best without any reservations.

Jiang Suizhou couldn’t tell whether they were deliberately disguising, or whether they really didn’t care whether the person in front of them was the original King Jing. But no matter what the reason was, the analysis they proposed was advisable. After Jiang Suizhou considered it, he wrote down the parts he thought were useful.

So when the meal was over, and after the discussion of the big and small matters that happened in the past few days, Jiang Suizhou got up and left.

——Although it’s not a big deal to spend the night here, but now he is also a person who has lost his vest. If he spends the night here under the original owner, he thinks it will be a very torment.

The two followed him up one after another, saluting and sending him away.

Until the servants of the entourage surrounded Jiang Suizhou out of the courtyard, the two sat down at the table again.

Gu Changjun laughed softly.

“He found out,” he said.

Xu Du gave him a disapproving look: “I told you earlier, don’t make fun of him.”

Gu Changjun raised his eyebrows in disapproval.

“I just didn’t expect him to be so sharp,” he said. “But look, isn’t he also not angry?”

Xu Du glanced at him.

“Not seen,” he said.

Gu Changyun laughed a few times.

“Never mind,” he said. “I just want to see what this smart and soft-hearted new master will do next.”

——Jiang

Suizhou returned to An Yin Tang, but did not go back to the bedroom, but went to the study while it was still early.

In addition to the letters, the original owner kept a lot of other information that could be checked in the study, but because it was kept extremely hidden and in a large amount, Jiang Suizhou has not thoroughly checked the information in the original owner’s study until now. .

Now, he had a guess in his heart, trying to find something from the information stored in the study.

This search is two hours, until the third watch.

He turned to a ledger that the original owner had placed in the back of his desk.

There was nothing special about the account book, but Jiang Suizhou found that the amount of expenditure on this account was very large, and each time the account was issued on the 15th day of the month, the original owner actually handed over the taels to Xu Du himself.

In addition, there is an expense on the account. Although there is a slight monthly fluctuation, the amount is very small.

Ordinarily, such a small sum of money will not be used by the original owner for accounting. Since it is recorded, the purpose of the money must be very important.

The date of monthly billing is also the fifteenth.

Jiang Suizhou had a plan in mind.

He thought about it for a long time, until Meng Qianshan knocked on the door, reminding him that it was late at night and that he had to go to the great court meeting tomorrow, then he put away the ledger properly and went back to his bedroom.

At this time, the night was already deep, and most of the people rested early, and there were only a few people who were on watch.

Meng Qianshan pushed open the door for him, Jiang Suizhou stepped in, and saw Huo Wu Jiu sitting under the lamp reading a book.

He frowned and put one hand on the side of his forehead. He didn’t move for a while. It seemed that he didn’t understand the contents of the book very well, and he seemed a little irritable.

Hearing the sound of the door, Huo Wu Jiu raised his eyes and saw Jiang Suizhou taking off his cloak and walking into the room.

He paused indifferently and stopped on Jiang Suizhou.

… how come back?

Jiang Suizhou put the cape in Meng Qianshan’s hand, and when he turned his head, he saw Huo Wu Jiu sitting there with a book in one hand, as if he hadn’t seen him.

Jiang Suizhou felt a little inexplicably relaxed.

Even if he was a salted fish in the Ministry of Rites again, he would have to be on guard against all his colleagues, always showing the appearance that King Jing should have; when he returned to the mansion, only those two colleagues with electric eyes would be enough for him to deal with. .

On the contrary, this Huo Wu Jiu, who loves and ignores himself all day long, seldom speaks to him, and even lacks the respect in his eyes, which makes him feel relaxed.

Under this atmosphere, Jiang Suizhou even vaguely felt a sense of lightheartedness at home.

Thinking of this, Jiang Suizhou sighed slightly in a self-deprecating manner.

How hard did he have to live to think that Huo Wu Jiu was cute?

Hearing his sigh, Meng Qianshan just thought he was tired, and quickly supported him and led him to wash in the back room.

After the two figures disappeared behind the screen, Huo Wu Jiu, whose eyes had been on the book, slowly raised his eyes and looked at his back.

…somewhat difficult.

Originally this morning, he heard Meng Qianshan say “He went to Mrs. Gu’s place for you” and thought that the eunuch was ill, but now that the night is so dark and King Jing has to come back, Huo Wu Jiu also feels uncomfortable. That’s right.

This person is just wishful thinking, but now he doesn’t even favor his original concubine, and eagerly wants to run back to sleep on the couch…

Huo Wu Jiu frowned, his fingers slowly tapped on the wheelchair.

Could it be because of himself?

He has never liked to owe others, whether materially or emotionally. Therefore, he especially hates the wishful thinking of others giving him things he does not need, and he never appreciates it.

Like King Jing.

Huo Wu Jiu retracted his gaze, lowered his eyes again, and looked back at the book in his hand.

This book was written by a great scholar of the Jing Dynasty. It is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality. Huo Wu Jiu was already tired of reading this book, but King Jing came back suddenly, no matter what, it should make him feel even worse.

But when reading this book again, Huo Wu Jiu’s brows were inexplicably a little wrinkled.

It seems that this old and ignorant Confucian has suddenly become less odious.
