Gu Chongyang couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

Both of these people have an impression of Gu Chongyang, but neither of them is served by their mothers. What she wants to find the most in her heart is still Lu Wu and Du Ruo.

"Is it just the two of them? No one else? ”

"Nope." Gu Tailai shook his head: "According to them, after the others arrived at Zhuangzi, they all fell ill and died. ”

"Sick to death!" Gu Chongyang couldn't hide his astonishment: "Everyone except them? ”

"Yes!" Gu Tailai nodded, his face unbearable: "That's what they said." ”

Gu Chongyang suddenly fell silent.

They are not sick and dead, I am afraid that something happened to them.

There are more than 20 people serving around my mother, and except for Mama Qiu, there are only two people left.

Especially Lu Wu and Du Ruo, who are the big maids who serve closely by their mother's side, originally planned to find a suitable family for them to marry after the New Year. or the little maid in the house, or the steward in the shop, in short, they will not be wronged.

But in the blink of an eye, they were all dead.

That man has such a ruthless heart and poisonous methods!

Gu Chongyang blinked, forcing back the sour tears in his eyes.

Crying can't solve the problem, and she has more important things to solve now than being sad.

"Tai Lai, where are Zhong Po and Biyun now?"

"Stay in the backyard of my master's shop." Gu Tailai said: "Because I didn't get your instructions, I didn't dare to bring it into the mansion." Miss, see when you bring them in. ”

"You're doing a great job." Gu Chongyang said: "You don't have to bring them in, you can settle them down, I'll find a chance to go out to see them these days." ”

If you bring people in, you will be discovered. She is now only a 10-year-old girl, with no freedom and nothing to do.

She even had to talk to her elders when she went out.

Mother's shop is on Liulichang Street, next to Xuanbeifang. The Shen family's mansion in the capital is next to Xuanwumen Street in Xuanbeifang. As long as she said that she was going to see her uncle, no one would doubt it.

That night, Gu Chongyang personally led a food box to the fourth master's study.

I can't ask the old lady to let her go out, I am afraid it will not work, I can only ask my father.

After beating his mother's death, his father moved out of Rongdongyuan and lived in the study of the outer courtyard because he was afraid of seeing things and thinking about people.

My father just went to Guanglu Temple on an errand, and he was a conscientious person, so he was naturally very busy and didn't dare to relax for a moment. Gu Chongyang hadn't spoken to his father for five or six days.

Seeing Gu Chongyang coming, Qingbo, the little servant next to the fourth master, immediately ran in to report the news, while Bibo took the food box in Gu Chongyang's hand and led her inside: "The light in this study is dim, it is not as bright as the inner courtyard, Miss watch your feet." ”

"Father is okay these days, has he eaten a lot of three meals? How's the appetite? Are you still sleeping late like the other day? Is there a lot going on in office? ”

Her mother is gone, and only her father is her dearest.

Bi Bo couldn't help but pause when he heard this, when the fourth lady was alive, he would also ask the fourth master about it with concern when he saw him. I didn't expect the fourth lady to ask, the tone and demeanor were very similar to the fourth lady, she was not a ten-year-old child at all, she was obviously a very sensible adult.

He cheered up and didn't dare to slack off in the slightest: "The fourth master didn't eat much, but it was much better than a few days ago." The fourth master has just taken office, and he has just finished the New Year, and there are a lot of things left by his predecessor, and the fourth master has to be busy until late at night every day, although he sleeps late, but because he is tired during the day, he can sleep until dawn. ”

Gu Chongyang listened, and felt a little comforted in his heart: "I'm in the inner house, I can't worry about many things, you have to pay attention to everything in front of the fourth master." ”

As she spoke, she handed over the purse she had prepared in advance.

This made Bi Bo even more surprised, he didn't accept it, but said: "Taking care of the fourth master is a small matter, and the fourth master has given the villain a lot of monthly cases, how dare you take the money of the fourth lady?" ”

"You have been working hard in front of the fourth master, and I have seen it in my eyes. Although you have a monthly rule, it is given by the house, and it is your deserving, and it does not conflict with what I give. Gu Chongyang said: "Your mother has been sick in bed, in addition to taking medicine every day, you also have to ask someone to take care of her, and there must be a lot of money to spend money." Didn't my mother always reward you when she was alive? If I give it to you, you can take it, and then push it back, it won't be like it. ”

"Miss Xie's reward." Bibo stopped, put the food box aside, and took the purse with both hands.

It's very light, and you can twist it with your hand, but you can feel a few pieces of paper inside. It must be a silver ticket. I didn't expect the fourth lady to reward him for the first time, and she was so generous. My mother asked the doctor to get the money for medicine this month, and she didn't have to worry about it again.

He put the lotus bag into his arms, picked up the food box, and hurried to follow Gu Chongyang.

"My mother is gone, and I only have my father, a relative, so naturally I always think about my father." Gu Chongyang sighed, as if inadvertently: "It's a pity that my father is busy with official business and can't see me every day." I was in the inner court, and it was not easy to know about my father's life, which was really worrying. ”

Bibo was not only surprised at this moment, but also felt that the purse in his arms was a little hot. He knew that the money was not so easy to take.

Gu Chongyang knew that Bibo was not so easy to buy, and of course, she didn't think about buying him.

"Don't worry, I'm not asking you to spy on your father. I'm just worried about my father, and if someone is bad for him, or if he has something that bothers him, you must come and tell me. ”

Her mother was murdered by an adulterer, and she couldn't ignore her father.

"Miss's filial piety is understandable to everyone. If there is something wrong with the master, it is not easy for us to be subordinates, and it would be great if the young lady could come to enlighten one or two. ”

"Hmm." Gu Chongyang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You are really smart, I am very relieved to have you by my father's side." ”

As he spoke, he reached the bottom of the steps of the study, and the two of them stopped talking very tacitly, Qingbo stood under the corridor and said, "Miss, the fourth master let you in." ”

Gu Chongyang took the food box from Bibo's hand and walked in.

The study was very tidy, there were two little guys in the room sorting out the books, seeing that Gu Chongyang was coming, the fourth master waved his hand and asked them to go down, and then asked, "It's so late, why are you here?" It's still cold outside, so I don't wear anything thicker. ”

"I haven't seen my father for a few days, and I'm worried about it." Gu Chongyang saw that although the fourth master looked tired, his complexion was fine, so his heart relaxed: "Father is not used to going to Guanglu Temple these days?" How do you get along with your colleagues? Can things be managed? ”

"You, this child, have really grown up, and you know that you care about your father." The fourth master sighed and said: "There are old precedents to follow in everything in office, and there is nothing that cannot be dealt with. Those colleagues are also very easy to get along with, and I have never had a bad relationship with them before, and I am also kind in face. I'm just worried about you, no one to take care of you. ”

Gu Chongyang's heart tightened, her father in the previous life was afraid that no one would take care of her, so he married Ge Bilian and entered the door. Unexpectedly, after Ge Bilian entered the door, she fell into a desperate life.

"I'll take care of myself!" Gu Chongyang hurriedly took out a soup cup in the food box and put it in front of the fourth master's desk and said, "This is my stewed wild pigeon soup to nourish my father's body." You've been too tired lately, and you should make up for it. Taste it while it's hot. ”

"You've got a heart." The fourth old man picked up the soup cup and took a few sips: "The taste is very delicious, did you boil it?" ”

"Yes, I was afraid that it would not be to my father's taste, but since my father likes it, then I will boil it up a few more times in the future."

"You don't have to be so troublesome, it's tiring to make soup, just let the next person do it." The fourth master asked, "By the way, do you have something to do today?" ”

"The exam will start in a few days, and I want to go tomorrow to see if the two cousins are ready." Gu Chongyang said: "I know how many ingots of good ink my father has here, I want to ask my father for it, and give it to my two cousins for the exam." ”

"How big of a deal is that, and you're worth the trip?" The fourth old man smiled and said, "I'll let people find it right away, and I'll send it to you if I find it." I'm too busy these days to send your two cousins, so take me to talk to your uncle. ”

"Then thank you, father."

"Father and daughter, what are you talking about?" The fourth master stood up and said, "It's late at night outside, you can go back first." Let Bibo help you send you back with a lantern, be careful on the way. ”

"Yes."

Out of the door of the study, Gu Chongyang sighed. Her mother is gone, and she and her father are not as close as they used to be.

However, I will be able to see Zhong Po and Biyun tomorrow. They must have a clue to their mother's death.

Thinking of this, Gu Chongyang felt full of confidence again, and she felt that she was not far from the truth.
