Beautiful mayor's wife

three days later.

A servant came to inform Ma Xiaoyao that there was a banquet tonight, and Ma Xiaoyao must attend on time.

When Ma Xiaoyao came to the hall, he was stunned. He saw a few acquaintances in the hall...Gao Shanshui and the five brothers and sisters of the Gao family...They came too?

Gao Shanshui and the five brothers and sisters of the Gao family were also surprised. They probably didn't expect to see Ma Xiaoyao here.

Speaking of it, the relationship between the two parties is a bit embarrassing. After all, Ma Xiaoyao has made Gao Shanshui and the five brothers and sisters of the Gao family lose face. Strictly speaking, the two should be regarded as enemies.

"Mr. Ma! There is still a seat next to me, come and sit." Gao Shanshui stood up suddenly and invited him to sit down.

Ma Xiaoyao showed a look of surprise, he didn't expect Gao Shanshui to greet him on his own initiative, and his attitude was very polite... Is there a conspiracy?Or is it really broad-minded and doesn't hold grudges?After hesitating for a moment, Ma Xiaoyao raised his foot and walked over. Regardless of whether the other party is sincere or false, Ma Xiaoyao cannot show weakness at this moment, but he has already raised his vigilance. hit.

It's better to be a friend than an enemy!

"Come, sit." Gao Shanshui helped Ma Xiaoyao open the chair, and then helped Ma Xiaoyao pour the wine, showing great enthusiasm.

"Mr. Gao..." Ma Xiaoyao glanced at Gao Shanshui: "I don't know if I should say this sentence... I know that once I say this sentence, it will definitely make you unhappy, but... if you don't say it, I'm really suffocating..."

Gao Shanshui smiled slightly: "Mr. Ma has something to say, but it's okay to say it."

"Well...why are you being so polite to me?" Ma Xiaoyao has never been able to hide his words, since he had doubts in his heart, he naturally said it out: "Strictly speaking, the relationship between us should be very bad... I let you lose face, you should hate me, right?"

"Mr. Ma thinks me too lowly." Gao Shanshui shook his head lightly: "You have made me lose face and my reputation has been hit to a certain extent, but I don't hold grudges against you, you may not believe it , but what I said was the truth, you won me with your real ability, and convinced me. If I hated you, I would be too narrow-minded. One of my advantages is that I am open-minded, not easy to hold grudges, and I have a lot of admiration for people with real skills.”

"Oh? You really think so?" Ma Xiaoyao seemed a little disbelieving.

"If Ma Xiaoyao still doesn't believe it, then it depends on my performance. As the saying goes, people's hearts can be seen over time. Sooner or later, you will believe me." Gao Shanshui said with a smile.

Seeing Gao Shanshui's sincerity, Ma Xiaoyao believed a little bit in his heart, "Mr. Gao can let go of the old conflicts, but what about your grandson and granddaughter? Can they also let go of the old conflicts?" Speaking of which, Ma Xiaoyao glanced lightly at the five brothers and sisters of the Gao family.

"Young people always like to get into the wrong place, but Mr. Ma, don't worry, with me, an old guy, watching over him, the five brothers and sisters dare not provoke Mr. Ma." Gao Shanshui said.

Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "With Mr. Gao's words, I feel at ease." Having said that, Ma Xiaoyao reached out to hold up the wine glass: "Mr. Gao, I would like to offer you a toast. The contradiction between them will completely dissipate, what do you think?"

"It's just what I want." Gao Shanshui raised his wine glass and touched Ma Xiaoyao lightly without hesitation, then threw his neck back and killed him in one gulp.

Ma Xiaoyao also poured the whole glass of white wine into his mouth without showing any weakness, the spicy feeling instantly spread throughout the whole mouth, the stimulating Ma Xiaoyao almost shouted, drinking is a kind of enjoyment, enjoying the stimulation brought by the spicy taste , When drinking in a good mood and in a bad mood, the feeling is different.

Forced by Gao Shanshui, the five brothers and sisters of the Gao family also toasted Ma Xiaoyao. It can be seen that the five brothers and sisters of the Gao family still have certain prejudices against Ma Xiaoyao. It's too wide, Ma Xiaoyao loses their face, they will naturally hold grudges, but with Gao Shanshui suppressing it, the five brothers and sisters of the Gao family can only bear it.

Regardless of the character of the five brothers and sisters of the Gao family, there is one thing worthy of respect, that is, the five of them respect their grandfather Gao Shanshui very much. No matter what Gao Shanshui says, they will obey unconditionally. This is filial piety. It was the grandfather who brought them up, so the five brothers and sisters have very deep feelings for the grandfather.

After a few glasses of wine, the two sides talked more casually.

"There are quite a lot of guests today." Ma Xiaoyao sighed softly. In just a short while, many people came to the hall. Judging by their clothes and attire, they were not ordinary people.

"The guests of this house all have their origins." Gao Shanshui said with a smile.

"Origin? What's the origin?" Ma Xiaoyao turned around and asked.

In the following time, Gao Shanshui began to introduce the origins of these guests, for example, someone is an elder of a certain sect, for example, someone is the heir of a certain family, for example, someone is a famous casual cultivator ( The so-called casual cultivators refer to immortal cultivators who have no background or sect)... These people have different backgrounds, but they have one thing in common, that is, they are all proficient in stone gambling.

"The Zhuge family invited so many people who are proficient in stone gambling all of a sudden, it seems that the plot is not small." Ma Xiaoyao said softly.

"Tell you a secret, don't spread it to the outside world." Gao Shanshui suddenly lowered his voice and said, "The Zhuge family looks very beautiful on the surface, but in fact there are many internal crises, and I heard..." Gao Shanshui suddenly stopped.

"Say it, keep talking." Ma Xiaoyao urged, he was enjoying listening to it, but Gao Shanshui suddenly stopped talking, isn't this a tantalizing thing, it's really wicked.

Gao Shanshui glanced around, and after making sure no one was paying attention, he continued: "I heard...the Zhuge family has lost a lot of money in business recently, and owed a huge debt...The creditors are not ordinary. people, and these creditors united together to recover the debt, in the end the Zhuge family really had no choice but to sell some of their property to repay the debt..."

"Keep talking, don't stop." The more Ma Xiaoyao listened, the more enjoyable he became.

"The Zhuge family has collected a lot of stones, each of which is a treasure, and most of them are inherited from the ancestors." Gao Shanshui continued: "Some creditors have proposed that if the Zhuge family cannot repay the debt in time, then use these Pay the bill with stones."

Ma Xiaoyao blinked: "The Zhuge family agreed?"

"The Zhuge family is divided into two factions. The young faction headed by the patriarch Zhuge Liuyun advocates using stones to pay off the bill, while the elder faction headed by the elders opposes." Gao Shanshui said: "Those elders said that these stones are from Zhuge The most precious wealth of the family must not be used to offset the debt, and some of the stones are inherited from the ancestors, if it is used to offset the debt, it is disrespectful to the ancestors."

Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "There is some truth in what you said. It is really inappropriate to use the stones inherited from the ancestors to pay off the debt."

"The patriarch Zhuge Liuyun also said that no matter how precious a stone is, it is still a dead thing. It is worthwhile to exchange these dead things for the stability of the Zhuge family." Split image.

Ma Xiaoyao nodded again: "What Zhuge Liuyun said also makes sense."

"Hehe..." Gao Shanshui smiled: "I agree with this for a while, and I agree with that for a while, isn't your position too firm?"

"What both sides say makes sense." Ma Xiaoyao shrugged.

"If it were you, how would you choose?" Gao Shanshui asked.

"This..." Ma Xiaoyao pondered for a moment: "I will check those stones first. If there are extraordinary treasures in the stones, then I must not use them to offset the debt. On the contrary, if there are no precious treasures in those stones , then it doesn't matter."

Gao Shanshui nodded: "You and Zhuge Liuyun have the same idea."

"What? Zhuge Liuyun also planned this way?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.

"The reason why he invited so many stone gamblers is to determine the value of those stones." Gao Shanshui said with a smile: "He did this for peace of mind, and to silence the elders. I, I will do the same, this is the safest way for now."

"I don't understand." Ma Xiaoyao curled his lips: "Isn't the Zhuge family an ancient family that has been passed down for millions of years? Isn't it equal to the Nine Great Gods? How can such a behemoth be short of money? Common sense?"

"The family is big, and the expenses are also high." Gao Shanshui said: "There is a word called a big tree attracts the wind. Although the Zhuge family has been very low-key these years, it has inevitably offended many people, including some big figures with deep backgrounds. The big man plotted against the Zhuge family in secret, as the saying goes, it is easy to hide from the open, but hard to defend from the dark, and the Zhuge family finally got caught, lost money in business, and owed huge debts..." At this point, Gao Shanshui sighed softly: "In the end, it's just that one generation is not as good as the previous generation. The ancestors created such a great foundation, but in the end they were defeated by the descendants. If the ancestors knew about it, they would definitely be pissed off again."

Ma Xiaoyao nodded as if realizing something: "It's easy to start a business, but difficult to maintain it! In this world, there is no empire on which the sun never sets. It is very rare for the Zhuge family to be able to pass on for millions of years."

"The reason why the Zhuge family has been able to prosper is entirely due to the blessing of that innate spirit treasure. Without the blessing of this innate spirit treasure, the Zhuge family would have been swallowed up by other powerful forces long ago." Gao Shanshui's tone was somewhat A touch of jealousy, if you give him an innate spirit treasure, he is sure to make the family prosperous for generations to come.

"What exactly is the innate spiritual treasure of the Zhuge family?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.

"It's a fan." Gao Shanshui really answered every question, and he showed the greatest sincerity to Ma Xiaoyao: "A fan that can generate strong to violent winds, someone once wanted to attack the Zhuge family. In the end, they were all subdued by this magical fan, and among them were the heavenly masters."
