Chapter 283 That's her fate!!
The environment in the inn is not very good.
The matching tables and chairs look quite old, and the sign on the wall used to record the menu is also very old, but it looks like this place has been carefully taken care of every day. It is not spotless, but it is still clean and tidy.
Even so, the several ministers who were brought along for the purpose of close surveillance all had looks of disgust towards this "shabby inn".
Shock, contempt, amusement, joy...
All kinds of emotions overlapped together, making Gu Ruizhou a little confused about the situation at hand.
"Here, here, please put the fruit drink here!"
Jiang Yingcheng didn't notice the change in people's expressions. She just looked at the fruit drink in the shopkeeper's hand excitedly, waving her little hands constantly.
【Please show off to Cheng Cheng's heart! 】
Gu Ruizhou calmed down and walked towards the young man.
He tried to breathe steadily: "Enjoy your meal, sir."
The porcelain hit the tabletop with a crisp "click" sound, as if pressing a switch for the overly quiet environment. Everyone was finally awakened and came out of their stiff state.
should……
They have the same name, right?
There are more than a dozen people named Gu Ruizhou in this world——
Back then, after the death of the world-famous Gu Ruizhou, Da Rui launched a very strange wave of "commemoration".
Newborn babies were named Ruizhou, students who were just starting out were named Ruizhou, and even many adult men, regardless of their family tree, forcibly changed their names to Ruizhou.
Cenzhou, the hometown of Gu Ruizhou, is the hardest hit area by this wave.
Among the hundreds of people on this "auspicious boat", there must be a few with the surname Gu...
Bar?
Jiang Yanchuan personally rinsed the cups with tea, and then poured the young man a glass of fruit drink.
His movements were indescribably lazy and casual, yet also remarkably noble.
After the young man drank it happily, Jiang Yanchuan slowly turned around and asked casually, "How long will it take for the meal?"
Gu Ruizhou came back to his senses: "In another stick of incense, we can present them one by one."
Jiang Yanchuan said nonchalantly, "As soon as possible."
The little girl has been eating biscuits all the time. If she is allowed to eat more like this, she might not be able to eat her meal later.
It’s not that he didn’t think about asking the kid to stop, but every time he opened his mouth, the kid would raise his head with tears in his eyes and say in a wronged voice that he was “very hungry”.
Jiang Yanchuan couldn't do anything to her.
Gu Ruizhou had no choice but to ignore the strange looks from the group of people and went back to the kitchen to continue helping.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Gu Ruizhou until they were sure that he had completely left, and then they looked intently at the small figure beside Emperor Mingze.
Cenzhou people, then what? !
What does this have to do with the "original" Cenzhou native Gu Ruizhou? !
Jiang Yanchuan moved his slender fingers slightly and poured himself a glass in the same way.
He lowered his eyes to look at the light pink fruit drink in the cup, and his thoughts slowly diffused along with the fine ripples on the water's surface.
Cenzhou cares about Ruizhou and the blue sky.
He is honest, loves the people, is humble, and is resourceful.
His knowledge is comparable to Liu Hongfei's, but he does not have the arrogance of a scholar.
If you must point out any shortcomings of this person——
He is a staunch supporter of King Jing.
From what he knew, Gu Ruizhou was behind several of King Jing's popular political achievements.
However, this man's carefree life ended in a fire.
In the spring of the seventh year of Tianqi, Gu Ruizhou, who had ascended to the position of prime minister, suddenly dismissed all the slaves in his house, and then set fire to the prime minister's residence.
The fire burned all night and was not put out until the next morning.
It is said that the body of the burnt corpse was found in the study of the prime minister's residence. The body shape and features were exactly the same as Gu Ruizhou's. Therefore, although there were many doubts in this matter, it could only be hastily closed.
only……
If this shopkeeper is the former Prime Minister Gu Ruizhou, his appearance and temperament have changed quite a lot.
Jiang Yingcheng had no idea what everyone was thinking. She happily drank the fruit drink in her hand in small sips, then grabbed a small cookie and went back to eating melon.
[I’m talking, I’m talking… Cenzhou Gu Ruizhou, and then what, and then what…]
The ministers breathed rapidly: What then? What then? !
【Wow! ! 】
Jiang Yingcheng's eyes suddenly widened: [This shopkeeper, he was once a prime minister?! ]
Minister of Rites Chu Jiaxu, who wanted to use coarse tea to relieve the itchiness in his throat, spat out another mouthful of tea.
The Minister of Personnel Chu Dong, who was standing opposite, was so frightened that he could not dodge in time and was forced to be drenched in the tea-scented rain.
"Prime Minister - Mmmmm..." Gui De General Lei Zhixin almost screamed out in surprise, but Yuan Liangping, who was sitting next to him, covered his mouth with his hand.
The courtiers who could not hear the young man's thoughts looked at them suspiciously. Yuan Liangping smiled calmly with full experience and said in an exaggerated voice: "You don't want it to rain, General Lei. I am a firm believer in sunny days."
Chu Jiaxu, who had just apologized to the storage building, said: "..."
Lei Zhixin, who hadn't even had time to drink his tea, said: "..."
The courtiers who could not hear the young man's thoughts turned away their gazes without much concern. The clear-minded people who could hear the young man's thoughts breathed a sigh of relief, and then, in the next breath, they suddenly raised their voices.
【Hehehe~】
[The former prime minister has become the innkeeper today...]
[There is something fishy! There must be something fishy here! ]
Jiang Yingcheng had no idea of this person's past achievements. He only picked out the part that interested him the most and flipped directly to the end of the information to find the answer to his question.
After arriving in Quchun, Gu Ruizhou had been running his inn business step by step. The information provided by the system was just a few words. Jiang Yingcheng only flipped through it twice and saw the information related to the fire.
And then, just one glance——
[Eh! !]
[Such a grand house was burned down just by fire?! ]
In Darui, when a court official reached a certain level of official rank, the court would personally grant him a house based on his official rank and specific circumstances.
Gu Ruizhou's situation is rather special.
He never married or took concubines in his life, but because of his position as prime minister, the court still allocated him a very spacious house.
The Prime Minister's Mansion has three entrances and three exits and is located in the best area in the capital. After being renovated, it is currently occupied by the current Right Prime Minister Tan Wenhan, who does not believe in ghosts and gods.
Jiang Yingcheng used his chubby little hands to count the repair costs displayed on the panel. The more he counted, the angrier he became!
[That, that was my beautiful father’s money, why did he burn it? ! ! ]
[Damn it! Cheng Cheng must get everything back from my beautiful father!!]
Was that the money he burned the court? !
no!
That's her life!!
Jiang Yanchuan: “…”
A group of people who are waiting for the big melon: "..."
ah???
