Chapter 5: Guo Ye Wants to Make a Good Showing

  Chapter 1: The Wedding Night (New Book...)

  As I walked out of the living room, the maids and servants had already left one after another, but Butler Fu was still there.

  Fu Bo watched Guo Ye's wonderful performance just now, especially the moment when Liu Aman slunk away with his tail between his legs, it was really satisfying.

  The Wu and Liu families have been sworn enemies in Dongliu Township for decades, with neither able to gain the upper hand.

  When he saw Guo Ye, the young master, walking out, Fu Bo rushed forward and gave a thumbs up with a big thumb, saying: "Young master, well done!"

  Guo Ye guessed that Wu Xiuxiu was still watching his figure from afar, not daring to be too proud and forget himself. He maintained a reserved smile towards Fu Bo, then patted the dust off his shoulders and said softly: "This doesn't count for anything, it's just child's play."

  Fu Bo continued to ask: "Brother-in-law, you really know the Tang Dynasty laws? This is a remarkable skill."

  Kuang Yeh was taken aback by his words and thought to himself, "Only a ghost would know what the laws of the Tang Dynasty are like."

  However, he didn't explain much to Fu Bo either, and instead floated away lightly, his figure still as elegant and natural as ever. The gentle breeze blew against him, causing his sleeves to flutter in the wind, giving off a refined and cultured air.

  Seeing Guo Ye didn't say anything, Fu Bo also didn't take it to heart and thought to himself, "This young master is indeed not bad."

  After today's little storm, with Guo Ye's attitude towards Fu Bo, he dared to make a bet that at least in the eyes of the servants and old housekeepers of the Wu family, this son-in-law who came to the door had already established his position in name.

  Next, the good days of having food delivered to his mouth and clothes handed to him may be eagerly awaiting Guo Ye's arrival.

  The second day

  The third day

  The fourth day

  For four or five days in a row, Guo Ye's life was extremely comfortable and relaxing.

  Previously, the living room was trampled by Liu Amang, taking advantage of the opportunity to establish his power. Moreover, due to Guo's soul being from a later generation, he never put on airs in front of the lower-ranking people, so within a short period of time, he became close with the servants and maids in the mansion, and his popularity soared.

  It seems that she is about to surpass Wu Xiuxiu, the eldest daughter of the Wu family who has a good family background.

  Although Wu Xiuxiu had not eaten at the same table with him since that day, and slept in the same bed, these things did not affect Guo Ye's life in the Wu family, which was as smooth as a fish in water, living a carefree life.

  On this day, the wind was gentle and the sun was shining. The autumn breeze blew softly through the willow trees in the backyard garden, their branches swaying and rustling.

  Hahaha...

  Suddenly, a burst of loud laughter came from the backyard, with both men and women, and there were quite a few people.

  These days, if you've been paying attention to gossip news at the Wu's house, you'll know that this time after lunch is definitely when Wu's maternal uncle, Guo Ye, is telling stories and jokes again.

  Fu Bo hastily picked up a small stool and rushed towards the direction of the backyard garden.

  Ran over there, took a closer look, and oh, under the willow tree, on the rocking chair, Guo Ye was sitting comfortably, swaying back and forth while enthusiastically telling stories.

  A dozen maids and servants surrounded Guo Ye, three layers deep inside and out, so dense that water couldn't penetrate. It can be seen how high the popularity of this new young master Wu is recently.

  The servants crouched on the ground listening to the story, and the maids were not idle either. Some held a fan and stood behind Guo Ye, gently fanning the cool breeze, while others took turns blowing on his shoulders, making him feel comfortable.

  Fu Bo leaned over quietly, put the little horse down on the ground and sat down silently, perking up his ears to listen to Guo Ye tell stories, afraid of forgetting a plot or segment, and turning back to retell it to Little Sunzi.

  It's not that Fubo is interesting, but rather Guo Ye tells unheard-of stories. His little grandson at home can't get enough of them. Every time he comes home, he doesn't tell a small segment, his naughty little grandson will roll on the ground, crash into walls and make a fuss.

  "Alright, earlier we were talking about a story of a swindler selling crutches. Through this story, it tells us that as human beings, we must be confident and not just listen to others' nonsense. If you're too gullible, you'll end up being taken advantage of and even helping the scammer count his money."

  Obviously, Guo Ye brought Zhao Benshan and Fan Wei's "The Fake Funeral" back to ancient times, to the prosperous Tang Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang in the third year of Zhenguan.

  In the past few days, Guo Ye would tell a story or joke every time, whether it was a Chinese cross-talk, sketch, anecdote, or Western tales like "One Thousand and One Nights", "Andersen's Fairy Tales" or "The Arabian Nights", he would always follow up with a short but brilliant insight and philosophy on how to be a person and handle affairs.

  Wu's fans have been chasing after him, worshipping him as an idol and a trendsetter.

  After listening to "The Crutch Seller", many servants squatting on the ground discussed it, saying that Old Fan was foolish and not good at making decisions, or that Old Zhao lacked great virtue, each giving their own comments.

  Then, Guo Ye glanced at the anxious Wu family's maid fans and said slowly: "Okay, next I'll tell a story about the Frog Prince. Can't satisfy both brothers' feelings and lose sister's meaning, can it?"

  "Ah..."

  As soon as Guo Ye's voice fell, the maids who had been waiting anxiously one by one jumped up, compared to the Wu family's menservants, they would rather listen to a loyal and unchanging, touching and tear-jerking, complex love story, even if it was fabricated, after all, it could comfort their lonely hearts and yearning for beautiful love from time to time.

  Which family's girl does not think of spring, the rotten woman and the gossip party are the same, existing everywhere at all times, even in the prosperous Tang Dynasty over a thousand years ago, they were omnipresent.

  Guo Ye slowly got up from his rocking chair, gesturing to the cheering and excited maidservants to quiet down. He took a sip of tea from a small stone teacup to moisten his throat, then began: "In a far-off land in the Western world, there was a..."

  Suddenly, a shrill voice came from outside the garden: "What's all the commotion? Don't you have any work to do?"

  Guo Ye was familiar with the Wu family's movements over the past few days, and without turning his head, he knew that the person calling out to him was Chunxiang, Wu Xiuxiu's personal maid.

  In the entire Wu family compound, only this stinky little servant girl dared to be defiant towards him, not becoming a die-hard fan of Guo Ye.

  Despite this, Guo Ye was also helpless against Chunxiang, who let her get entangled with Wu Xiuxiu, a well-behaved and talented young lady.

  Spring Fragrance walked slowly over, looking at the servants squatting on the ground, and the maids who were huddled together showed no intention of leaving. Her face lost its dignity, her cheeks puffed out as she glared at them and scolded: "The young mistress has spoken, if you all don't do your work properly and spend your days idling about in a group, none of you will get any silver this month."

  As soon as the words came out, the servants and maids were flustered and exclaimed in unison, then they all got up and scattered in different directions, and within three breaths, people had already run away without a trace.

  Guo Ye was once again stunned by his so-called fans, damn it, isn't this a lack of loyalty?

  Are these hardcore fans? They're just some zombie fans.

  Wu Xiuxiu was the one who measured the powder, and with just one sentence, she made all of Guo Ye's fans disappear cleanly.

  Guo Ye looked around and saw that everyone had left, the lively scene from earlier was gone, only old steward Fu Bo remained, it's really a cold and warm human relationship.

  Guo Ye was secretly furious. You're really something, Wu Xiuxiu! You just don't want me to live a peaceful life, do you? You want to completely destroy my comfortable life from the root up!

  Chunxiang bowed slightly to Fu Bo, the old steward, and then walked in front of Guo Ye, bowing again and saying: "Young master, Miss is already at the Wu family's gate. She asked me to inform you that she wants you to hurry back to your room, change into clean clothes, and come to the Wu family's gate."

  Having said that, he didn't care whether Guo Ye had heard clearly or not, and whether he replied or not, and turned around to leave directly.

  Guo Ye was so angry that he waved his hands behind Chun Xiang and scratched his claws.

  "Cough cough, sigh..."

  Fu Bo saw the situation, coughed lightly twice and sighed, then said to Guo Ye in a serious tone: "Brother-in-law, don't blame Chunxiang, nor those servants just now. They are in the Wu family just for a living, receiving a meager salary every month to support their families. Now their breadwinner is Miss, not you. Can they afford to offend the young lady for your sake?"

  After finishing, he patted the slightly sore legs that had been standing on the small horse stool for a while, picked up the small horse stool with one hand and turned to leave Guo Ye, busy with the affairs of the Wu family.

  Guo Ye realized that Fu Bo was pointing out to himself, yes, Wu Xiuxiu is their breadwinner, and Guo Ye is just a son-in-law who eats and drinks at the Wu's house for free. I'm nothing.

  As he spoke, he patted his sleeves and waist again, empty and without a single object, and had never seen what a wallet looked like.

  Guo Ye couldn't help but let out a sigh: "Money is the hero's courage, without it on his body, he can't even calm himself down, every step is difficult to take, not to mention winning people's hearts and gaining their trust. Dammit, I must find a job to earn some silver, absolutely cannot continue living off Wu family father and daughter's charity."

  After sighing, she immediately returned to her room and changed into a clean set of clothes. She simply washed up and then ran towards the main gate.

  After a while, Guo Ye hastily arrived at the entrance of Wu's house. He didn't want to be late and give Wu Xiuxiu, that stinky girl, another chance to find fault with him.

  Just now in the garden, he suddenly realized that a good man should endure and accumulate strength, and when the time comes, he will make a big move, directly flipping Wu Xiuxiu onto the bed, heavily...

  When they arrived at the gate, Guo Ye was completely stunned. A mule cart, the carriage was decorated in a unique way. Judging from the size of the carriage, it could probably hold three to five people. Listening to the voices inside the carriage, it seemed to be Wu Xiuxiu and Chunxiang that stinky girl.

  Next to the mule cart was a donkey as tall as half a person, with golden fur and two long ears standing upright "Hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw" it brayed continuously, while staring at Guo Ye with its beady eyes.

  The furry donkey gave a glance with its black eyes, and Guo Ye secretly praised it as a spirited donkey.

  He took another glance at the mule cart beside him and thought to himself, Wu Xiuxiu had someone invite me over and also told me to change into new clothes, what kind of trick is she trying to play?
