Chapter 21: My Master Is Not a Murderer!
He said this quickly and urgently, Gu Jiu didn't even react, Lin An had already issued a poisonous oath.
Seeing him like this, Gu Jiu shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay, the child's family, who made you swear?" β
Although not all children are pure and benevolent, even though the little beggar in front of him is dressed in shabby, the clarity in his eyes cannot deceive people.
Therefore, after she said this, seeing Lin An's anxious clarification appearance, she added: "I believe you." β
After her reply, Lin An's face looked better.
Gu Jiu hadn't eaten since the morning, and now he was holding the baby boy in one hand and eating something hastily with chopsticks in the other.
After eating, Lin An asked about the old Taoist priest again, and Gu Jiu told the truth.
Who knew that she had just repeated the official's words, and saw that Lin An was extremely excited and said: "My master is not a murderer, he will not kill people!" β
was yelled at by him, and the milk doll in his arms was also scared awake, sobbing and began to cry, seeing this, Lin An was busy coaxing the child.
Gu Jiu first appeased the small one, and then appeased the big one: "Don't worry, I didn't say that your master is a murderer, and now things are not sure, I think there will be a turnaround." β
Because it was not early at this time, Gu Jiu couldn't take the two back to the Mingguo Mansion, so after thinking about it, he simply took them to the study under his name.
This study is not profitable, and the reason why it is used as her dowry is because the Gu family feels that this is an industry that can be connected with literati, and it doesn't look so full of copper smell.
After all, the Ming Mansion is a family, and the ancestors are also learned. The money-making shop is used for her daughter, which is used to support herself; And the study is used to flush the faΓ§ade.
The shopkeeper of the study is a Xiucai who is about forty years old, a lonely widow, usually eats and lives here, for the young owner to bring two children, Xiucai did not show impatience, and immediately took care of the two.
"You guys should stay here first, and when your master's affairs come to an end, I'll tell you, okay?"
Gu Jiu has now basically determined that the old Taoist priest deliberately told him about the Land Temple, just so that she could pick up the two children and take care of them.
She can leave it alone, but this big and small is really pitiful, although she is not a saint, she can't see death without help.
In such a steep spring cold, there is no old Taoist priest to raise, and the old Lin An is okay to say, but this Xiao Ming'er is afraid that he will not live long.
Although Lin An was young, he was not a person who did not distinguish between right and wrong, so he solemnly thanked Gu Jiu, and then endured his anxiety and stayed here first.
β¦β¦
After returning to the Ming State Mansion, it was already twilight, Gu Jiu looked at the horizon dyed red by the sunset, and couldn't help but pinch his eyebrows and sigh.
She was running around this day, originally to see Gu Nianlan, but who knew that not only did she fail to see a doctor, but she also got mixed into such a pool of troubled water.
Those two children can be raised temporarily, but it is not a way to go on like this, and that Sun Boyin......
In his previous life, Gu Jiu had never really seen this person, but the rumors in the market were true, and there were storytellers who said that this person was indeed highly respected.
She also confirmed that she was not looking for the wrong person, but today it was the old Taoist priest first, and then Qin Zheng, but that look made Gu Jiu's heart extremely uneasy.
Is this Sun Boyin reliable?
Before she could sort out these thoughts, she had already arrived at the Guijiu Courtyard, where Mama Zhao was talking to a few people, and when she saw her come back, she saluted first: "Say hello to Miss." β
Gu Jiu nodded in response, glanced at the extra few people in the room, and asked, "This was purchased today?" β
Before leaving, Mama Zhao mentioned it to her, saying that she had asked Ya Po to choose someone and sent it over today. Gu Jiu handed over this matter to Mama Zhao, thinking that this was the person she would choose to stay.
Hearing her question, Mama Zhao responded with a smile, asked these people to stand under the corridor, and introduced Gu Jiuyi one by one inside the door, and said respectfully: "If Miss thinks which one is not good, the old slave will go and inform Ya Po to take the person away, and we will choose the one that is lovely." β
Gu Jiu still believed in Mama Zhao's way of looking at people, so he waved his hand and said: "No need, I'll look at it, Mama will look at it first, and if it is suitable, it will stay, if it is not suitable to turn back, then change it." β
When she entered the door just now, she had already looked at it, four second-class maids and two rough envoys, and they looked at their faces honestly.
Mama Zhao responded one by one, and said at the end: "The few little guys sent by the family have been arranged by the old slave to take care of the hospital, and they are all born to the Gu family, and the old and young masters have confirmed that they are reliable." β
Those little guys came out of the Gu family, and Gu Chengze carefully selected them, so naturally they couldn't make mistakes.
When she said this, she whispered again: "At your previous orders, the old slave also sent all the original subordinates of the house to the outer courtyard, and now they are all their own people here." β
Gu Jiu naturally had no objections to her arrangement, and responded: "The things in our yard, Mama looks at and disposes of it, just a little, in this Ming Guo Mansion, water can't be splashed into the courtyard for half a minute." β
Hearing this, Mama Zhao naturally responded: "The old slave understands, Miss can rest assured." β
Mama Zhao went down to do things, and Gu Jiu sat on the chair with her eyes closed to recuperate, she was extremely tired after a day of tossing today, and her mind was a mess, which made her feel uncomfortable.
She just wanted to sort out her thoughts, but she saw Bai Shu walk in from outside the door, and saluted: "Miss, the Zhuzhu of Siqing Pavilion came to pass the word, saying that Aunt Fang invited you to come over." β
Aunt Fang's name is Fang Qing, Siqing Pavilion is her residence, and Jiangzhu is her eldest maid.
Gu Jiu's heart was already a little chaotic, but when he heard her words, he sneered and said, "She can't sit still?" β
Mama Zhao cleaned up a group of people in the courtyard, and Gu Jiu knew that someone would not be able to sit still first, but she didn't expect it to be her.
It's just that an aunt, let herself be the wife of the world, how big is her face?
Gu Jiu didn't bother to pay attention to the other party, and immediately said, "You just said that I was not available, so I won't go." If my aunt has any advice, let the maid be an errand messenger. β
Baizhu went in response, and came back after a while, and said softly: "That Zhuzhu left in a huff, I'm afraid I will have to add oil and vinegar when I go back." β
Hearing this, Gu Jiu sneered and said, "Let her add it." β
If she was afraid of making a fuss, the people in this courtyard would not be replaced.
Mama Zhao had gone to arrange the affairs of the next person before, and at this time, she was listening to their conversation when she entered the door, and asked thoughtfully, "Miss, is it inappropriate to do this?" β
That Fang Qing is the old lady's niece and nephew, although she is not a concubine, but she is also a noble concubine who has given birth to an heir, and she is in charge of the house's internal affairs, and she would rather offend the gentleman than the villain, which angered her, and it was not half good for her own miss.
Hearing this, Gu Jiu smiled disdainfully and said, "Mama don't worry, I have my own measure." β
What she wants is to tear her face, otherwise why make such a fuss at this time?
It's just that Gu Jiu didn't expect that after the pearl left, he didn't come back.
Aunt Fang didn't know if she had endured this incident, and she didn't come over again until it was dark.
She didn't come, Gu Jiu fell quietly, and when she saw the twilight, she ordered Mama Zhao to pass the food.
Gu Jiu originally wanted to wait for Qin Zheng while eating, but who knew that in the middle of the night, the other party did not come back.
Mama Zhao came in and urged a few times, and when she saw Gu Jiu's appearance, she asked softly: "Why don't you go to the concierge and ask to see if the prince has come back?" β
The uneasy appearance of her young lady looks strange and distressing.
Gu Jiu waved his hand, and seeing that the maids in the room were all staying up with him, he thought for a while and said, "No need, Baizhu will go to fetch water, I'll rest first." β
It's just that after washing, she didn't feel sleepy.
The two of them kept vigil in the next compartment, only themselves in the inner room, there was no light in the room, and the light of the lantern under the corridor outside the door came in, and a little bit of light was faintly visible.
The quiet needle drop in the room could be heard, but Gu Jiu only felt that his heart was numb.
Qin Zheng's words before he left were still in his ears during the day, but he didn't come back until now, Gu Jiu didn't care where he went and what he did, but when he left, he took the bag of medicine, and his expression was clearly unfinished.
What's so funny about that pack of medicine?
and when they met on the long street, he clearly didn't intend to talk to him, but he suddenly turned back and asked himself where he had been with a solemn face......
