It was completely dark, and the lights were bright as if it were day. Gu Key followed his father and quickly walked out of the front hall, and the people around him quietly squeezed into the corner, their eyebrows touching Gu Key's body from time to time, and there was a vague look on their faces.

Gu Jian waited until his father walked out of the main hall, turned around and closed the door, cutting off people's eyes. But at this moment, he caught a glimpse of a small figure in his peripheral vision.

There was a small light on the walls that were decorated with the frescoes, and Gu Keyzheng looked over to finally see the source of the light. It was the glass lantern that Gu Yu was carrying in his hand, not even the size of half a palm. The girl leaned quietly against the wall, and also saw the ancient key that followed the light, but surprisingly did not make any movement, just fiddled with the glass lantern in her hand, and countless colored light surfaces swirled in the girl's palm, faster and faster.

"Girl," Gu Key's hand slowly placed on the top of Gu Qi's head, stroking the ends of her hair, "What are you doing standing here?" ”

The girl looked up at him blankly, as if she was trying to endure something, her body was too small and too small. The girl's lip was bitten so hard that she was about to bleed, but she wanted to say something to Gu Key, but in the end she stopped because of the pain of biting her lip. The feet that stand are cramped because of the restlessness.

When did she appear? This girl who was given the ancient surname, a girl who can only follow behind the ass of the ancient key. Gu Key stared at the low-hanging apricot eyes, remembering when he was twelve years old, an object thrown out of a sack by a vendor.

……

The sluggish merchant had come from the northern kingdom of Lotin, and when he came, the fine silver in his hand had been looted in the middle of the way. Perhaps thinking of the past friendship and humble flattery, this unprovoked thief hit the Gu family with his idea, praying that Gu Xun, who had been in contact, would take care of him for a few minutes.

He rubbed his hands with low eyebrows, pointed to the slightly trembling thing in the sack and said, "Gu family master, this little girl is very smart, maybe ...... It is very suitable to be a slave to the young master. ”

The little trader's delicate eyes glanced at the unruly Gu Key beside Gu Xun, and the abacus in his heart had already been prepared. But Gu Key was not a good kind, he only stepped forward with his left foot, and kicked out with his right foot, hitting the merchant's calf fiercely.

"Ask for help...... There should be an attitude of asking for help. The young man said this, and without glancing at the vendor, who was kneeling in pain, he went straight to the sack and untied the sturdy tie. But at this moment, a violent pain suddenly appeared, and the boy broke open the sack in terror, leaving a row of tooth marks in his hand.

Gu Xun was shocked, and just wanted to scold this rude trader and ask him to take this beast away. The young man who was squatting next to him suddenly said no. He seemed to be laughing, laughing from the bottom of his heart, like a vicious dog.

The filthy girl was half-clunched in the sack, covering her body with the rags that were not covered by her clothes, and staring at the boy with eyes like water waves, her teeth bared like a frightened little beast.

"Heh, what......" The young man stretched out his hand, clasped the girl's cheek, and looked at it carefully, "The water spirit you are talking about is such a little thing?" ”

Gu Key glanced at the vendor who was still kneeling.

"Less...... Young master, this ......" The merchant spoke incoherently, and suddenly kowtowed a few times, "I deserve to die, I deserve to die!" It's my sin that this dog dares to bite the young head of the family! It's my sin! The young master is angry! ”

"Take this wild girl and get out." Gu Xun frowned, and his expression as he looked at the vendor gradually turned cold.

"I'll get out! I'll get out! The merchant hurriedly got up, and raised his foot to kick the girl into the sack, but his foot was in the air and could not go down for half a minute.

It was Gu Key's body that quickly leaned in front of the girl, and his contemptuous eyes looked at the vendor quietly, hiding his anger, "Something like a dog, it should be you brute." A minion without a number of courtesies. ”

The vendor's back was covered with cold sweat, and his half-raised feet suddenly felt like they had nowhere to put them.

"Dog minion," the ancient key approached the vendor, who was still growing taller than the hunchbacked vendor, "and let me ask you, where did you get this little thing, and what do you want to do with it?" ”

"This ...... This. ”

"Are you stuttering or dumb?" The young man slapped the vendor's face violently, laughing wildly, "Master, I'll treat you!" ”

"Yes...... I picked it up from the slums of the country of Luoyin, and the country of Guangcai attacked Luoyin, and there are many such lost children...... When I saw that she was very beautiful, I wanted to take her to my son as a wife. ”

"Wife to your son?" The young man spat fiercely at the merchant's face, "Something like a dog, the son born is just a dog mongrel, is it also worthy of choosing a wife?" ”

He kicked the vendor in the abdomen and laughed insolently. The blow to the abdomen made the vendor unable to say a word, and his body slowly arched down, and the pain like a snake's bite made him unable to stop the tears that welled up in his eyes.

"Ghosts! You're a ghost!! ”

"Demons? What a person who doesn't know how to lift...... I didn't kill you, so you should be glad I didn't kill you. Gu Jian was stunned for a moment, reached out and untied the purse on his body, and poured all the gold baht in it on the face of the trader, "Take it, dog slave, this is Lao Tzu's reward for you...... Of course, that's the price I want for this little thing. ”

Gu Xun didn't stop the eldest son's behavior, but only whispered to the family next to him, "Drive him out." ”

"Yes, Master."

A large number of family members who quickly came in carried everything from the vendor, along with his whole person, out of the ancient mansion, so as not to ruin the reputation of the ancient family. The sloppy vendors were scolding until the last minute before they were thrown out.

The door closed with a loud bang, and the figure hidden in the shadows was unsheathed.

"Boy, there is no reason to throw away the things you choose, it's just a coward," Gu Xun's doting gaze gradually touched Gu Key, "She will be your concubine in the future, understand?" ”

The sack had completely faded, and the bare-legged little girl was afraid to cover her body with rags, and if she had washed her body, she would be a budding little wildflower. It's not in vain that this vendor is so exaggerated.

"My business...... I can fix it myself. ”

"If that's the case, it's for the best." Gu Xun turned around and walked into the main room, leaving Gu Key and the girl behind.

"Little thing," Gu Key reached over and kneading her dusty little face, "what kind of beauty am I supposed to be to make that dog minion so exaggerated." So it's just such a dirty little thing as you? You said...... Am I losing too much? ”

"I ...... I can wash it clean......" The sound of a silver bell rushed into Gu Key's ears, making him a little startled.

"Wash? What do you wash, this ancient family is my stuff, how do you want to wash? Gu Key's other hand reached for the rag beneath the girl, and with a vigorous pull, he threw it aside. The girl's uncovered body was completely exposed in front of the ancient key, and her small body shrunk together, like a helpless and lost little beast.

The girl sobbed lowly, leaning over the ancient key to snatch the rag back.

"I bought you back for ten gold baht," Gu Jian squeezed her restless hand, his eyebrows became fierce, "Do you think it's worth it?" Are you worth the price? Ten gold baht, at least let me buy a hundred little things like you, and they are all more obedient than you! ”

"That'...... Then I," the girl had tears in her eyes, but she gently covered her body with her hands that were gone, "what should I do......"

"I spent a lot of money to buy something, but I didn't appreciate it, but I asked her master what she should do?" Gu Key stared at her, "If you are disobedient like you, I will sell it to a brothel." ”

The girl was stunned for a moment, and suddenly bit her lip, and the tears on her face dried up like two thin long threads.

"Are you scared?" Gu Key jerked his hand against the girl's chin.

"I ...... I'm not afraid! Not afraid at all! The girl timidly stared timidly at the spot where the young man's hand in front of her had been bitten.

Will his deserving act of being executed be investigated...... That's what she cares about most.

"Yo, you're pretty stubborn?" Gu Jian was startled, and smiled even more, "Then you come with me, I will sell you to a brothel." Don't worry, I'll be visiting you often, no matter what, you're mine. ”

The girl's tears finally welled up again, but she didn't dare to say anything, just followed behind Gu Key pitifully. was sold to a brothel, it is better to stay in the Gu family and follow this bully to be beaten and scolded by him......

In the afterglow, Gu Key caught a glimpse of the girl's desperate appearance, forcibly held back her belly, and walked quickly to the atrium garden. Seeing that the young master was coming, the keeper hurriedly opened the door and stood respectfully aside.

As if remembering something, Gu Key beckoned the gatekeeper to come over.

"Young family master, what are your orders?" The family was half-hunched back.

"Go and pour warm water over my bath." Gu Key walked into the courtyard and found the girl standing still at the door.

"Little thing, what? Tired after only a few steps? ”

The girl clenched the rags on her body tightly, and her lips were about to be bitten and bleeding, "You...... Didn't you say you were going to sell me to a brothel? ”

"It's better to leave now, I think it's still too late." Gu Key grabbed the girl's hand violently, and wanted to go out.

"Nope! I...... Don't go! The girl unexpectedly resisted and broke away from him, causing Gu Jian to lose his mind for a while, "I'm not going anywhere!" I...... Since it's something you bought, then I'm going to serve you and not go to the brothel! ”

Gu Jian stroked his hand, which still had tooth marks, "I can't help you what you want to do, little thing. ”

"Minion, go and call Zhang Diaosheng for me!" He turned and commanded the servant.

After the family was far away, the ancient key walked straight into the room.

"You are my concubine, so I won't let you go to the brothel, lest some old and faint old things in the clan gossip about my father." Gu Key stared at the girl who followed behind, with a smile hidden in his cold eyes.

"I ...... I get it. ”

"Then ......" Gu Jian remembered something, "from now on, your surname is Gu." My dad's old guy seems to like you a lot, too. ”

"It's called Gu Qi."
