Chapter 5: Victory in the first battle
"Master, the concubine is wronged!" The aunt can't wear this hat, "Qinghe is full of nonsense, the concubine has never said such a remark, and she doesn't dare to calculate the master, master, you are clear!"
Seeing this, the fifth aunt also helped to excuse herself: "Master, Qinghe has always been gentle and submissive, where can she be so sharp-toothed, it can be seen that she is really stunned." ”
At this time, Hongdou came with tea, and just heard the fifth aunt say that Qinghe was stunned, wronged and angry, and he was not afraid of death: "Miss is not stunned, you have been too deceitful in the past few years!
As Hongdou spoke, tears flowed down, as if she was wronged: "Master, for the sake of the late lady, don't let the eldest aunt take the Lan Yuan." If the young lady leaves this orchid garden, I'm afraid she won't be able to live!"
Gu Qinghe was surprised that this little girl with red beans still had such guts, it seemed that a rabbit would bite if she was in a hurry.
Letting Gu Qinghe move out of Orchid Garden, of course Gu Manting knew in his heart, even what the eldest aunt would say to Qinghe, but he didn't want Gu Qinghe to bite back, not only did he charge the eldest aunt, but he was also trapped. Now that this has become the case, he sees some hope in Gu Qinghe.
"Qinghe, this Lanyuan is your mother's, that is, yours, and it will always be. As soon as Gu Manting's voice fell, a few people were really happy and a few people were worried.
The eldest aunt and her party dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, originally called Gu Manting to come in order to completely suppress Gu Qinghe, but unexpectedly, Qinghe's girl changed her temperament, and they moved a stone to shoot themselves in the foot.
"Thank you, Dad. Gu Qinghe saluted Gu Manting, and the corners of his lips hooked up with a cold and smug smile.
Liu Chen had been paying attention to Qinghe, and this smile naturally did not escape his eyes. This girl is so scheming.
"Dr. Zhou is here. A girl outside the hospital heard a word, but it was Dr. Zhou, who was late.
Gu Manting said sternly and coldly to the eldest aunt: "Why don't you hurry up and take Linghe Meihe down for treatment!"
"Yes, sir. The eldest aunt and the fifth aunt hurriedly withdrew from the courtyard with the injured two, where did they dare to let Dr. Zhou see if Qinghe was stunned.
Gu Qinghe didn't expect that Gu Manting would punish the eldest aunt and others, such a result was exactly what she expected.
Gu Manting looked embarrassed and said to Liu Chen: "Third Highness, let you laugh." ”
Liu Chen smiled, and his eyes fell on Qing He with interest: "Gu Shangshu, you have a good daughter." ”
Qing He saw him mention himself, and couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at him, this young man is not very old, but his eyes are as deep as the sea, and he is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp.
Gu Manting also looked at Qing He, and his tone was a little better: "Qing He, you take care of your illness, and your father will come to see you another day." Third Highness, let's go to the study and talk. ”
Liu Chen bowed slightly, said no more, and turned to leave.
After sending Liu Chen and Gu Manting away, Qinghe was under the table next to the stone table and ordered the red bean to pour tea, but saw that the red bean was still standing at the door with the tea.
"Little, Miss, I, I ...... just now" Hongdou didn't notice anything when she talked back just now, but now she was afraid, her legs were trembling, and she didn't obey the call at all.
Qing He saw that Hongdou was so scared that she couldn't speak clearly, and the tears were about to come down again, she simply got up and took the tea and patted Hongdou's shoulder: "Hongdou, you did a good job just now." ”
"Really?" "Hongdou's eyes were bright, "Hongdou provoked the eldest aunt rudely just now, won't he cause trouble to the young lady?"
Qinghe couldn't help laughing, but he was a little moved in his heart: "If you hadn't said those few words, how could my father have agreed so easily, so Hongdou has the greatest credit." ”
Hongdou laughed out of his dimples: "Hongdou doesn't need any work, as long as you don't make trouble for Miss, Hongdou will be satisfied." ”
Hongdou happily snatched the tea from Qinghe's hand, and hurriedly went to the stone table to pour a cup of tea for Qinghe: "Miss, give." ”
Qinghe was indeed a little thirsty, but as soon as the tea was in his mouth, he immediately spit it out: "What is this?
The red bean thought that he had made a mistake, and hurriedly tasted it himself: "Miss, this is the taste, don't you like it the most?"
Qing He suddenly remembered that the development of this era was about the same as that of the Tang Dynasty, and this tea was probably as frantic as the tea of the Tang Dynasty.
Tea in the Tang Dynasty was boiled, and spices such as salt and pepper were added to flavor it. The pot of tea brewed with red beans is salted, the salt in ancient times is impure, salty and astringent, Rao is that no matter how big her tongue is, she can't stand it!
Qinghe couldn't wait to spit out his tongue: "Red beans, don't make me tea in the future, change it to boiled water." ”
Although Hongdou was puzzled, he no longer asked: "Oh." ”
Qinghe beckoned Hongdou into the house: "Hongdou, you find out all the valuable things such as silver and jewelry for Miss, and go out with me after wrapping them." ”
Qinghe is not in a hurry, Gu Manting will definitely look for her tomorrow, and she will be happy to wait for him to come to the door.
"Good. ”
Qing He glanced at her in surprise: "It's rare that you don't ask why." ”
"I believe that Miss, as long as Miss asks Hongdou to do something, it must be useful and correct. Hongdou is very happy about Qinghe's change, and she believes that the future will get better and better.
Qinghe is very satisfied with the perception of red beans, she doesn't want to have a sister-in-law Xianglin in her ear, and keeps asking why.
This time, because the sky was getting dark, Gu Qinghe and Hongdou did not go to the main gate, but climbed over the wall. Gu Qinghe's hands and feet were sharp, and he climbed the wall in three or two clicks, and Hongdou was embarrassed, and finally tied a rope to Hongdou's body and let Qinghe pull it up.
Gu Qinghe struggled a little when he pulled the red beans, and secretly thought that this body was not a mercenary physique in the twenty-first world after all, but a ten-year-old girl, and the physique of the two was simply very different. It seems that you have to exercise well from tomorrow, otherwise you will be in trouble if you have no fighting tricks and not enough strength.
The master and servant first went to the pawnshop and threw away all the jewelry, but the silver in Qinghe's hand was less than a hundred taels.
In this era, one tael of silver was equal to a thousand copper plates, and it took three copper plates to buy a bun. On the other hand, the average bun in the 21st century is five to two pieces a piece. In this way, one or two taels of silver here is equivalent to about Wu Baiyuan in the 21st century, which means that all Gu Qinghe's belongings are only 50,000.
As the concubine of Shangshu, these belongings are really pitiful!
Qing He exchanged fifty taels of silver tickets, and the rest were exchanged for broken silver, and just as she was about to leave the pawnshop, she saw a dagger on the pawnshop shelf out of the corner of her eye.
Pawnshops have always been divided into dead pawns and live pawns, and some things that have not been redeemed within a certain period of time are also put out for sale together with the dead pawn items.
And what Qing He saw was the dagger that the store used to sell. Qing He picked up the dagger and looked at it, the scabbard was gorgeous, but the dagger was also average, so she casually asked the shopkeeper: "Are there any better daggers?"
"Wait a minute, the girl waits, there is indeed one in the store, but the price is a little higher, and no one cares, so I put it away. The shopkeeper went into the back room, but in a moment he came out with a wooden box.
Qing He opened it and looked at it, this dagger, the scabbard is simple, that is, ordinary black iron, but it is probably used often, and the surface is smooth and glowing.
"This dagger was used by a swordsman two years ago, and it was alive at the time, but he never came to redeem it. ”
Qing He took out the dagger, her hand was extremely heavy, she pulled out the dagger, and saw that the dagger blade was sharp, faintly red light. Qing He was surprised, although the scabbard was ordinary, this dagger was made of fine black iron.
"Shopkeeper, how much does this dagger cost?"
"Fifty taels, when I went out, it was fifty taels, and today I will sell it to you for fifty taels. ”
Qinghe liked it quite a lot, and gave the money happily, so he finally spent most of the silver in exchange for jewelry.
Waiting to get out of the pawnshop, the sky was already dark, and the two went to the clothing village to buy two sets of men's clothes to change into, and the two pink and lovely girls immediately turned into pink-faced and sunny boys.
"Red Bean, take me to Willow Lane, the most famous flower street in Xiangcheng. "If you want to find the darkness of this capital, you have to go into the darkness.
Hongdou was about to nod, but suddenly heard what Qinghe said about Huajie, and was surprised: "Ah, that kind of place, how can Miss go!"
"Lead the way!"
Hongdou was helpless, gritted his teeth and responded, thinking that he must not be known by the master, otherwise he would have to turn the sky upside down.
As soon as the two of them came out of the village, Qing He noticed the movement behind them again.
Sure enough, after coming out of Qingxian Villa today, she felt that someone was following, but because she was thinking about the mercenary group, she didn't think it was obvious, so she thought it was an illusion. But when she came out of Shangshu Mansion again, that feeling became stronger and stronger, and she almost implemented it, and she was sure that she was not Gu Manting's person.
Qing He's expression was a little more playful, she wanted to see who was following!
