Seeing this, Gu Qingci glared at Gu Cheng.

"The third sister is okay, she is gentle, and she is still obedient after all. ”

Gu Qingci felt a little relieved in his heart.

Suddenly, it reminded him of the second sister who gave him a headache.

A few years ago, his father decided to marry his second sister to the sister-in-law of the head of the Xiao family.

The Xiao family in Jiangnan is one of the eight great families, and its strength is also in the forefront of the eight great families; the Gu family is one of the three major salt merchants in the Great Qian, with strong financial resources and a wealth rivaled by the country.

Xiao Gu's two families can be said to be a good match, and they have already married.

Unexpectedly, his second sister had a fiery temperament, and after knowing about the marriage, she ran away from home in a fit of anger.

I haven't come back yet.

If it weren't for the extraordinary relationship between the two families, not only would they not be able to marry, but they would attract hatred.

This incident has always made my father haunted.

I haven't taken the initiative to look for it all these years.

Moreover, with the temperament of his second sister, I am afraid that he hates him and his father a lot.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingci shook his head slightly, he was really heartbroken.

"Gu Cheng, do you know where the second sister went back then?" Gu Qingci asked.

Gu Cheng smiled bitterly: "The old man doesn't look for it, and the old slave doesn't dare to send someone to track it." ”

"After all these years, my father's anger should have disappeared, so let's look for it. ”

Gu Qingci sighed.

"Yes, Grand Prince. ”

Gu Cheng bowed and said.

"Well, you go down first. ”

Gu Qingci waved his hand, thought about it and reminded: "Pay more attention to the third sister, don't let her think about it, and let Xue'er talk to the third lady more." ”

"Knowing the eldest son, the old slave will do it. Gu Chengdao.

After Gu Cheng left, Gu Qingci's brows gradually furrowed, and he sighed deeply.

The Gu family is now in full swing, but it is also in danger, and it is in danger of overturning at any time.

is because the Gu family has too much wealth, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is rich enough to rival the country.

To put it mildly, whether the big money bag is full or not depends on the salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River.

Donate more than 100 million yuan every year.

However, Emperor Qiandi was greedy and excessive, and as soon as the treasury was short of money, the target would be on the salt merchants.

Since the emperor was clearly asking for money, the salt merchants could not pretend to be confused, and they had to donate money to the imperial court.

Even if their families are rich, they can't withstand such a toss, and they don't want to be treated as fools.

Because the Gu family's relationship network is extremely complex, and the imperial court and the rivers and lakes are extremely complicated, Emperor Qiandi is jealous and does not dare to go too far.

But like Xue and Fan, the two families are miserable.

The financial resources of the two families have shrunk severely, and they can't withstand the exploitation of Emperor Qian, but they are also like dumb people who eat Coptis chinensis, and they can't say anything about their suffering, so they can only let Emperor Qiandi slaughter them, so as not to make the emperor unhappy.

At that time, one bad one is the big crime of raiding the house and destroying the door.

Because of this, Gu Qingci was distressed.

Once the Fan and Xue families can't hold on, his Gu family may not be able to escape.

Over the years, they have secretly helped the Xue and Fan families.

Otherwise, they may not be able to hold on.

Today's Gu family is like cooking oil on fire, it seems to be like the sky, the momentum is strong, and it is very prosperous, who knows that it is not prosperous before the curtain ends.

"Tuk tuk. ”

There was a stormy knock on the door, indicating the anxious mood of the people outside the door.

Gu Qingci frowned, and anger appeared on his face.

Before he could ask, Gu Cheng said outside: "Eldest son, it's not good, something happened to the third young lady." ”

Hearing this, Gu Qingci suddenly got up, opened the door roughly, and frowned: "What happened to the third sister?"

He is not afraid to be heard.

The best inn in town had already been chartered by him.

The whole inn is full of their own people, and it goes without saying that there are masters hidden in secret.

Gu Cheng hurriedly said: "The third lady can't think about it, if it weren't for Miss Xue'er to arrive, I'm afraid she would ......."

Gu Cheng didn't dare to continue.

After a pause, he said, "However, the third lady is fine now, and I have come to report to the eldest prince." ”

"Humph!"

Gu Qingci was having a headache, and this incident happened again, and the anger in his heart can be imagined, and he said angrily: "I thought she was more obedient, but I didn't expect that she would be the same as her sister, and she wouldn't let people worry." Let's go, let's see. ”

As soon as he heard the eldest prince mention the second miss, Gu Cheng didn't dare to say anything at all, and followed closely behind Gu Qing.

Half a circle around the second floor, the two walked to the opposite side of the inn, and faintly heard comforting voices from inside.

Gu Qingci didn't knock on the door, pushed the door and walked in.

Gu Cheng didn't dare to break in like the eldest prince, but stayed outside.

As soon as I walked in, I saw two young women sitting on the edge of the plain white bed.

This boudoir is not like an ordinary woman, it is all plain white, giving people a sense of coldness.

But I saw a woman with a pale face, as if she had a sick face, there was no blood on her face, she was wearing a snow-white gauze dress, she looked even more elegant and vulgar, with ice muscles and jade bones, and her appearance was even more beautiful;

Another woman was wearing a green coat, the same age as the woman in white, but her face was cunning, and she was probably also lively, and her appearance was slightly inferior to that of the woman in white, but she also looked lively and cute.

"Brother Gu, you're here. ”

I saw the woman in Tsing Yi jumping over, grabbing the sleeve of Gu Qingci's right arm with both hands, and said with a bitter face.

Gu Qingci glared at the woman in Tsing Yi slightly, and said angrily: "Xue'er, don't drag it, forget how my dress is broken?"

Xiao Xue'er put down her hands that had nowhere to put them, spit out her fragrant tongue, and said, "Okay, okay, okay, it's just a piece of clothing, and I'll pay you back another day." ”

“......”

The corners of Gu Qingci's mouth twitched, and he feigned anger: "Am I trying to get you a piece of clothing? You are not young, you can't be like when you were a child, you must know that men and women are different after all, and they are seen by others, the girl's family is so crazy, how can she marry in the future?"

"Am I wrong?"

As soon as she heard that Gu Qingci was about to say a big truth, Xiao Xue'er immediately raised her hands as if admitting defeat and begged for mercy.

She was most afraid of Gu Qingci's preaching.

That's really like a monk chanting scriptures, it's really boring.

She is from the Xiao family, but she grew up in the Gu family, so she is close to the three brothers and sisters of the Gu family, just like brothers and sisters.

He really regarded Gu Qingci as his brother, otherwise he would not be so intimate.

Gu Qingci shook his head helplessly, he was still too spoiled by Xue'er before.

At this time, Gu Qingci finally looked at the woman in white, frowned slightly, and saw Bai Aya on the table next to him, and his brows furrowed even tighter.

"Wanrong, you also want to learn from your sister?"

Gu Qingci snorted lightly: "The family let you enjoy all the glory and wealth, and raised you, and that's how you repay the family." ”

"I'd rather not be born in such a family, and use my daughter as a bargaining chip, what is the difference between selling my daughter, selling my sister at the beginning, and now selling my sister. ”

Gu Wanrong opened her lips lightly, her voice was as crisp and pleasant as a yellow bird, but her tone was a little timid and cowardly.

"Presumptuous!"

Hearing this, Gu Qingci was furious and reprimanded: "Your sister is rebellious and ran away from home, do you want to be like her? Since ancient times, marriage has always been the order of the parents, how can there be a reason for your daughter's family to make its own decisions." What are you talking about, are you complaining about your family, your father, and my brother?"

Gu Wanrong's thin body trembled slightly, her eyebrows frowned slightly, she lowered her head and let her brother reprimand her, without saying a word.

She's such a submissive character.
