H2> An old friend of the Iron Threshold Temple?

Gu Jialuo frowned, she had met a few people in the Tiejian Nunnery, except for the old nun Jingxu and the two nuns who were guarding, the only two people she knew were the 'neighbors' He and Lin.

Ke He and Lin are both 'female prisoners' in the nunnery, and without special circumstances, it is impossible for them to come out, let alone come to visit her.

Wait, it's really possible to be the Lin family. Gu Jialuo narrowed her eyes, more than two months ago, she had taken the opportunity to visit Master Miaozhen to help the Lin family pass on a word. Gu Jialuo still remembers how shocked and out of shape Master Miaozhen, who has always been indifferent and elegant, after hearing those words.

Gu Jialuo was frightened and regretted, for fear of getting involved in some wealthy secrets, and he didn't dare to think about it afterwards. It's been a long time, and she's busy learning housekeeping and other things every day, so she doesn't have time to think about it at all.

If it weren't for Gu Qiong, who had been staying in Jingyue Nunnery, occasionally writing back, Gu Jialuo would have almost forgotten about that incident.

Sometimes, Gu Jialuo couldn't hold back his curiosity and secretly guessed the meaning of Lin's words. But this sentence is too strange, Gu Jialuo didn't understand the mystery after thinking about it, but one thing, Gu Jialuo was sure that the Lin family must know a secret about Master Miaozhen.

The Lin family begged Gu Jialuo to pass the word, probably also wanting to use this secret as a bargaining chip and ask Master Miaozhen to rescue her.

Gu Jialuo thought about it again and again and found that this was the most reasonable explanation.

But the problem is that Gu Jialuo left Jingyue Nunnery, until now, more than two months have passed, Master Miaozhen did not go to Tiejian Nunnery to save people, and Gu Jialuo did not hear the news that the Lin family was released.

However, Master Miao Zhen did not immediately ask the Lin clan for questioning, which does not mean that he will not in the future.

Gu Jialuo secretly thought: Could it be that Master Miaozhen has finally acted, and the Lin family has also been released?!

"Big grandma? The woman is still waiting in the vestibule, you see—" Xia Zhu stood in front of him and reminded in a low voice.

Gu Jialuo came back to his senses and said, "Since she is an 'old friend', she and I are also friends in trouble, so you go and bring her in." ”

Gu Jialuo got up, and Ziwei hurriedly stepped forward and helped her straighten the folds on her clothes.

Gu Jialuo came to the outer room, walked to a five-screen arhat bed with red sandalwood, and sat directly on the left seat.

After a while, Xia Zhu led a woman in. The woman wore a dark marsh-colored half-worn stand-up collar jacket and a white threaded skirt underneath, and as she moved, she revealed a pair of embroidered shoes embroidered with folded branches. The woman lowered her head, Gu Jialuo couldn't see her appearance clearly, but just looking at her very poor dress, Gu Jialuo suddenly had a feeling that this person was definitely not the Lin family, nor the He family.

"The little woman has seen the eldest grandmother of the Qi family."

Just as Gugaro was distracted, the woman bent her knees and performed a blessing.

Gu Jialuo's brows furrowed even tighter, because she had never heard this voice before, "This lady is exempt, please take a seat!" ”

Xia Zhu had the foresight to bring a plum blossom drum pier and put it aside, and invited the woman to take a seat.

The woman did not take a seat, but straightened up, slowly raised her head, and said with a slight apology: "The little woman came rashly, and I ask the grandmother to forgive me for the rudeness." ”

Gu Jialuo finally saw the face of the person who came, a very ordinary young woman, and also very strange, at least before today, she had never seen it.

"This lady is polite, just now someone said that the lady is my 'old friend', forgive me for being clumsy, I don't know where the lady met me?"

Gu Jialuo was beating a drum in her heart, the other party obviously didn't know her, but she played the banner of 'Iron Threshold Nunnery', and it was clear that the person who came was not good.

It's just that Gu Jialuo didn't know what the other party was suddenly looking for him.

was asked bluntly by Gu Jialuo, the woman's white face was slightly embarrassed, she smiled embarrassedly, and said: "The eldest grandmother is a nobleman, and the little woman is from a slightly cold background, so she has no chance to see her, let alone no good fortune to meet you." ”

Gu Jialuo raised his eyebrows and didn't speak, but the look on his face had already shown a qiē: Since you don't know each other, why do you rush here?

After the woman opened her words, her expression became much calmer, and she said softly: "The little woman's husband's surname is Zhou, and her grandson's surname is Zhou's name is Wenyuan, and she is a lifter. ”

Gu Jialuo was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand why Zhou Niangzi said this.

When Zhou Niangzi mentioned her husband, her face was full of pride, and her waist couldn't help but straighten up a lot, and she continued: "More than four months ago, the little woman's grandson went to Wanfoling on the outskirts of Beijing with his friends, and when he passed by a nearby waterfall, he ......"

With a bang, Gu Jialuo finally thought, this person, oh no, to be exact, it should be this person's husband, could it be the 'well-wisher' who picked up her drifting bottle, and then wrote a joke to sell it to the teahouse to help him create public opinion?

Sure enough, just when Gu Jialuo was suspicious, the woman took out a small glass bottle from her sleeve pocket, and there was a ball of Shu brocade in the glass bottle.

"This is what the little woman's grandson saw in the waterhole under the waterfall, and it was a fluke, because the grandson had excellent water quality since he was a child, so he was able to find a small bottle in the deep pool." Zhou Niangzi held the glass bottle in both hands, so that Gu Jialuo could see clearly.

Gu Jialuo glanced at Xia Zhu.

Xia Zhu understood, took the glass bottle from Zhou Niangzi's hand, and then sent it to Gu Jialuo.

After so many days, seeing this bottle again, Gu Jialuo was full of emotion. When she was in the Iron Threshold Nunnery, her heart was full of despair and fear, fearing that she would die of old age like all the women who were sent to the nunnery, so she racked her brains to find a way.

And this bottle, as well as the Shu brocade in the bottle, is one of the few hopes she has.

Her fingers rubbed the wooden cork, and after a while, she pulled out the cork, poured out the Shu brocade inside, and unfolded it, which was extremely familiar with the lines of red embroidery thread embroidered in italics.

In addition to the little woman's homework, she also likes to write some ghostly novels...... It just so happened that the little woman's maiden brother was working as a bookkeeper in the Yunlai Teahouse......"

Zhou Niangzi's words are flat and straightforward, and there is no half a word to say that her husband helped Gu Jialuo, but there is a meaning in and out of the words: Gu Jialuo's distress letter can see the light, can be compiled into a legendary story of ups and downs, and can be sung in the teahouses of the capital, until it can cause a sensation in the end, thanks to the enthusiastic and chivalrous Zhou Wenyuan!

Gu Jialuo slowly rolled the Shu brocade into a small roll and stuffed it back into the glass bottle. Zhou Niangzi said so much, Gu Jialuo also understood, the other party came to ask for debts. Gu Jialuo can leave the Iron Threshold Nunnery, and the most important part is that someone helps build momentum.

Zhou Wenyuan, a person she didn't know, helped her do it, and Gu Jialuo should thank others.

Gu Jialuo thought for a while and said, "Well, I have also heard the joke of Yunlai Teahouse, and it is very well written, it turns out that it was written by Zunfu, Zhou Juren is really a talented young handsome man." ”

Gu Jialuo was probing the bottom, she wanted to know what Zhou Niangzi wanted to ask her to do.

The smile lines on the corners of Zhou Niangzi's mouth deepened, and before she came, she was also a little worried in her heart, lest the eldest grandmother of the Qi family turn her face and refuse to admit it. Now listening to her words, Zhou Niangzi's hanging heart finally let go.

She sighed in embarrassment and said, "Although the grandson is a little talented, but, alas, don't hide it from the eldest grandmother, the little woman's family name is a 'jin', and the grandson is pure filial piety, so it is convenient-" In order to avoid his father's name, Zhou Wenyuan directly gave up the entrance examination.

Gu Jialuo understood that Zhou Wenyuan could not go further in the imperial examination because of his father's reputation, so he wanted to find another way out.

In Daqi, people can be officials, but most of them are small officials, even if they are small officials of the eighth or ninth grade, they have no way to find money.

Zhou Niangzi came to Gu Jialuo with a glass bottle, probably to ask her for help and get an errand for Zhou Wenyuan.

Gu Jialuo nodded slowly, "Zhou Juren is really a true and filial person, such a person with such a heart should not be buried." ”

Zhou Niangzi's eyes burst out with a light of surprise, and she secretly sighed in her heart that Grandma Gu was really smart, but she said modestly: "Grandma praised it falsely, and my grandson didn't ask for it, I just hope to have a chance to serve the imperial court." ”

The implication is that Zhou Wenyuan is not afraid of the low rank of the errand, nor is he afraid of the hard work, as long as he can have a decent official to do, he will be satisfied.

Gu Jialuo knows, but this matter is not big, it is not small, the Gu family is noble, not a ministry, and it is necessary to recommend Zhou Wenyuan to join the office, and he still needs to make a good living.

Zhou Niangzi also understood that as long as Gu Jialuo admitted the account and was willing to agree to help, she would be satisfied.

Euphemistically said some words of thanks, and Mrs. Zhou said goodbye and left.

Looking at Zhou Niangzi's back, Gu Jialuo was stunned for a while, and then ordered someone to call Huixiang and instructed: "There is something for your brother to investigate." ”

Zhou Niangzi's words, Gu Jialuo believed it for the time being, but it still needs further verification.

In addition, she lost more than a dozen glass bottles at the beginning, and listened to Zhou Niangzi's words, there were still a few scholars with Zhou Wenyuan, if Gu Jialuo helped Zhou Wenyuan find an errand, and the matter spread, and other people also came to 'ask for debts', would she help or not?

If they just asked for some money, Gu Jialuo would give it up casually, but for those scholars, the temptation to become an official is the greatest. It's not easy for Gu Jialuo to help one, she doesn't have the ability to stuff those people into officialdom.

……

On the other side, Qi Mianzhi hurriedly came in from outside and walked directly towards Chunhui Hall.

"Grandmother, that's the way it is, when Ah Ruo went to the palace yesterday to diagnose the Queen Mother's pulse, she tried to mention her father and brother, but the Queen Mother didn't answer this conversation at all, obviously unwilling to interfere."

Qi Mianzhi sat in front of the couch and whispered.

"The Queen Mother likes Yao Xiruo very much recently, if it is an ordinary thing, the Queen Mother should be happy to reward her with a dignity, but now she avoids mentioning it, it should be for the sake of the saint," the eldest princess After these days of recuperation, and Yao Xiruo's amazing medical diagnosis and treatment, her body has almost recovered, just listen to her calm analysis.

Qi Mianzhi's face was gloomy, he also thought of this, he was anxious, but he was helpless. There is no way, who let my father ever offend the saint.

The eldest princess sneered and said, "I know, he's waiting for me to beg him...... Stop, just ask, just what I owe him, and pay it all back today! ”R1152
