Gu Jiu only felt that the blood all over her body was frozen, she closed her eyes and adjusted her breathing, but she felt that her eyes were extremely sour.

In her previous life, three years after her death, she was not allowed to die without being exceeded, and her soul wandered in the world for more than a thousand days and nights.

And the last scene in her consciousness that belonged to her previous life was because she stepped into the Ming Mansion and saw Qin Zheng's wedding.

But......

If Qin Zheng really likes Princess Tai'an and likes it enough to kill himself for the other party, then how could he endure it for three years before marrying her?

Since the day Gu Jiu was reborn, she reminded herself all the time that she must not forget the cause of death in her previous life, and Ding Ao stayed away from Qin Zheng to save her life.

Even those pasts, she didn't want to think about them.

But it is clear that these are the things that she will notice wrong as long as she thinks about them.

Perhaps it was the nightmare of this string of Buddhist beads that made her realize this later.

Qin Zheng married Princess Tai'an three years later.

In terms of the etiquette of Western Chu, there is a rule left by the ancestors, although few people have done it now, but Gu Jiu clearly remembers it.

That is, if his wife dies, he can keep filial piety for three years.

This ritual has been passed down for so long that few men today observe it.

After all, even if the husband and wife have a deep relationship, most of the parents and elders are unwilling to watch their sons be alone for three years for a dead woman.

Even if a man dies, a woman needs to be widowed for the rest of her life.

But in their eyes, it was a matter of course.

That's why most men don't do it.

But back then, Gu Heming was filial piety.

The relationship between the eldest brother and sister-in-law is very good, so after the death of the sister-in-law, the eldest brother proposed to keep filial piety for his wife for three years. Her parents liked this daughter-in-law, and her sister-in-law died in childbirth, so the family never objected.

Gu Jiu thought of this, her heart couldn't help beating wildly, she subconsciously covered her heart that was beating too fast, and couldn't help but look outside.

There was a screen, and she couldn't see the man outside the screen.

It's just that in that heart, a little depression and apprehension rose for no reason.

In his previous life, Qin Zheng didn't marry for three years, and it wasn't until three years later that he put his relationship with the princess on the agenda......

Is it to keep filial piety for yourself?

Even though he knew that this idea was too ridiculous, Gu Jiu couldn't help but breathe a little faster.

What if, yes?

Gu Jiu bit his lower lip desperately, but suddenly heard a man's voice outside: "What's wrong?" ”

Although the man's voice was as indifferent as before, she inexplicably heard a little concern.

Qin Zheng practiced martial arts, and was more deaf and clear-sighted than ordinary people, so he could naturally hear that something was wrong in her voice.

And the moment Gu Jiu heard his voice, he instantly came back to his senses.

Her lips were bitten by her and the smell of blood was oozing, spreading in her mouth, and it also made her sanity a little more retracted.

She shook her head gently, but realized that Qin Zheng couldn't see it, so she said in a low voice, "It's okay." ”

She thought she was really stunned.

How could there be a ridiculous idea at that moment.

If the person who ordered someone to kill him in his previous life was not Qin Zheng, then whether he was completely ruthless to her or not.

It wasn't that the stone hadn't been heated, but she hadn't found it?

Qin Zheng heard a little loss in her voice, paused, and asked, "Can't sleep?" ”

It was probably because the moonlight was too soft, which made Qin Zheng's heart spread a little tenderness.

And when Gu Jiu heard his words, he was slightly stunned, and nodded a little astringently: "Well, I can't sleep." ”

The Buddhist beads in her hand were still held in her hands, and she couldn't bear to throw them aside. Gu Jiu pinched this string of Buddha beads, his heart went up and down, he couldn't help but laugh at himself because he couldn't rush to his previous life to find the answer.

It's just a ridiculous dream, and she would imagine that Qin Zheng treats her with affection.

How is that possible?

If so, how could she not have found out about it?

It was precisely because of this that when he heard Qin Zheng ask what he wanted, Gu Jiu was stunned.

She checked and asked, "What do I think?" ”

Qin Zheng chuckled through the screen and said, "Hmm." ”

Gu Jiu subconsciously bit his lip, felt a slight pain in his lower lip, and said, "I remember, you have a jade flute." ”

It was only when these words were said that Gu Jiu came back to his senses and suddenly felt that he was crazy.

In her previous life, she had seen him play the flute, but not once for herself.

It was also his tone that was too gentle, which made Gu Jiu feel a little delusional and make such a request.

Sure enough, there was an instant silence outside the screen.

Gu Jiu regretted it for a while, and said, "Hmm......"

It's just that before she could say the remedial words, she heard the man over there chuckle: "Okay." ”

There was a rustling sound outside, like a man looking for something.

Gu Jiu didn't dare to move, for fear that this was a dream, and he felt in a trance that this was indeed a dream.

Otherwise, how could Qin Zheng be so gentle, and even respond to requests?

Soon the flute sounded, and after a few notes, a particularly soft moonlight song floated out of the flute and slowly flowed into the night.

The flute sound was melodious, but it revealed a little gentleness, which made Gu Jiudu intoxicated.

This song was very peaceful, Gu Jiu just listened to it, and felt as if all the messy thoughts before had been expelled, and he couldn't help but close his eyes.

By the end of the song, the woman's breath on the bed had already grown.

Qin Zheng put down the flute, listened to the breath that was obviously completely asleep, and couldn't help but chuckle: "It's really a child's temper." ”

However, before the words fell, he stared at the jade flute in his hand again.

He hadn't taken out the flute for several years, and after a long time, it was for a little girl to sleep.

Qin Zheng frowned slightly, this thing is too abnormal.

He seems to be a little too concerned about this little girl.

This should not be his doing.

Thinking of this, Qin Zheng remembered what Gu Jiu had said to him earlier for no reason, and asked himself: "I, am I in love with someone?" ”

It's just that no one will give him an answer.

Qin Zheng obviously didn't want an answer either, so the moment he said it, the whole person sobered up.

He threw the jade flute aside in his hand, looked out through the moonlight, and laughed at himself again, he was really crazy.

He is such a man...... What qualifies people to like them?

Qin Zheng smiled silently, but his eyebrows and eyes were full of gloom.

This night, Gu Jiu slept very well, but Qin Zheng didn't sleep all night, staring until dawn.

When the husband faintly knocked on the bang, Qin Zheng got up and quietly cleaned up the room and walked out.

It's just that before leaving, he looked through the screen.

The figure inside couldn't really be seen, Qin Zheng took a deep look, then resolutely twisted his head back and strode out.

There are some things that he should not ask for and cannot be extravagant.

In that case, let's stay away.

……

When Gu Jiu woke up, it was already three poles in the sun.

She has been running back and forth for the past few days, and she slept a little heavy last night.

In the end, he was young and had a good night's sleep, Gu Jiu almost recovered, seeing that the sun was rising, he didn't lie in bed, and ordered the maids to come in and serve. Twenty fifty thousand

It's just that after seeing the Buddha beads tightly held in his hand, he was slightly stunned.

She had clearly struggled with a lot of questions last night, but now, it was as if they were not bothering.

The song of the moon at night not only gave her a good night's sleep, but also made her think about many things clearly.

The past is gone, and she can't go back to find out the truth, but what Qin Zheng has done in this life, she sees it in her eyes.

Therefore, based on the current situation, it is you who owes favors.

Gu Jiu made up his mind that he couldn't tease Qin Zheng in the future, at least the two of them had to coexist peacefully.

Although she doesn't plan to be with Qin Zheng in this life, she can't become an enemy or a stranger like she did in this year.

Thinking of this, Gu Jiu felt a lot better, she pressed the bracelet under the pillow, and got up and got out of bed.

After breakfast, it was almost noon.

Gu Jiu first took Baizhu to the shop, and when the shopkeeper saw her, he greeted her, and his face was full of flattering smiles: "Young owner." ”

Gu Jiu responded, and then asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Hearing this, the man immediately smiled and arched his hand: "It has been verified by our masters of Jinyuzhai, this recipe is indeed a high-quality product, and the feedback given is also good." ”

He said as he took Gu Jiu to the backyard.

Gu Jiu listened carefully, and after meeting the masters, he found that their thoughts were the same as his own, so he curled his lips and said, "I'll show him this improved recipe first, if it's feasible, let's talk about what the next step is." ”

She did not directly disclose Zhuangziqi's name, one is that he is unwilling to be so ostentatious, and the other is that his wealth is not exposed.

Zhuangzi has no background, and now she gave this profitable business to the other party, but if it is known by too many people, it is inevitable that there will be no other mistakes.

Everyone naturally had no objection to Gu Jiu's words, and after responding, the old masters went to do things, and as for the shopkeeper, they directly invited Gu Jiu to the account room on the second floor.

"Young owner."

Seeing his mysterious appearance, Gu Jiu couldn't help but smile and asked, "What's the matter, is there anything you can't talk about outside?" ”

Hearing her words, the shopkeeper first sighed, and then said: "Young owner, this is this month's order, please take a look." ”

This month is not over yet, and it is said that you will need to see it next month.

Gu Jiu didn't understand what he meant, but when he saw him hand it over, he also took the account book in his hand and read it carefully.

And this flip through really found some problems.

"How did the turnover drop so much this month?"

Compared with last month, it has dropped by more than two times, and more than 20 days is not as good as the sale in 10 days last month.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he nodded and said, "It's not a secret, this is not bad, you are looking at the first twenty days, and these two days, it will be less." The reason for this is because there is a new shop on Chang'an Street, called Linlang Pavilion, you look at his rouge-"

After Gu Jiu saw it, he instantly frowned and said, "This has nothing to do with our family's ...... Isn't it the same?! ”

From the breath to the outer packaging, it is exactly the same.

"Moreover, the selling price of his family's rouge is one to five taels of silver cheaper than that of Jin Yuzhai."

This price......

Gu Jiu's eyebrows were cold, and he said: "If I remember correctly, the masters in Jinyuzhai are all raised by us, and the recipes are all kept secret." It's not strange that his family makes similar things, but it's so similar that it's almost the same, have all the people in the shop checked it? ”

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "I have already checked them one by one, so it's strange, they are all old people we have raised for many years, and there is no abnormality in these days, and there is no reason to betray the master's family." That's why it's a little tricky, how do you say this thing is going to be done? ”

In my previous life, there was no such thing.

In other words, in his previous life, Gu Jiu had already given Jin Yuzhai to Qin Zhiyao to take care of it "on his behalf", so he didn't know if there was such a thing later.

But no matter what, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth.

"This matter involves the reputation of Jin Yuzhai, you have to carefully examine it first. Give it to me over there, and I'll have someone check it. Also,"

When Gu Jiu said this, he paused, and said, "Give me a copy of all the rouges that coincide with Jin Yuzhai, and divide them for me along with the comparison of Linlang Pavilion, and I'll take them away." ”

Hearing this, the shopkeeper immediately claimed that it was, and seeing Gu Jiu's contemplative appearance with his eyebrows pinched, he didn't bother much, and hurriedly went down to do this.

Gu Jiu picked up a piece of rouge, sniffed the smell, and dipped it a little more grinding, his eyes darkened a little.

The feel is similar, the taste is similar, and the ingredients are naturally similar.

is so similar, there must be an inner ghost.

It's just that Jin Yuzhai's things have always been top-notch, and this is for the use of dignitaries and nobles, so they don't dare to be sloppy.

Even though the profit of rouge is high, it is a gross profit, excluding the cost of store labor, if you subtract one to five taels of silver, it is equivalent to a blood loss.

Linlangge won't be so stupid to make money at a loss, so there is definitely a cat in the ingredients of this rouge!

Thinking of this, Gu Jiu twisted her eyebrows again, she had never heard of Linlang Pavilion in her previous life, where did this come from?

When she thought of this, she saw the shopkeeper go and return, sorted out all the things Gu Jiu wanted, and said, "Young owner, this is what you want." ”

Gu Jiu nodded in response, and after taking the things, he thought about it and went to the plum garden first.

Gu Nianlan has been living in the plum garden these days, and her treatment has been very effective, at least Gu Jiu can see the changes visible to the naked eye.

Mother Liu and eldest brother have also been to see Gu Nianlan, and when they saw that she was recovering well, they also thanked Zhuangzi for his good meal.

It's a pity that Zhuangzi has a really strange temper and doesn't accept the kindness of others, so he just said hello and hid, and even confiscated the things sent by the Gu family.

It is precisely because of this that the Gu family feels that they owe more and more great favors to Zhuangzi.

Today, Gu Jiu went over and brought another carriage of spare goods.

"Sir."

Seeing Gu Jiu coming, Zhuang Ziqi nodded, and when he saw the little guy moving things from the car, he couldn't help but snort and said, "What are you bringing here?" ”

"Big brother just went to Jiangnan once, and brought back a few jars of aged daughter red, you have always tasted wine, and specially brought it over to let you identify how this wine is."

As soon as she said this, the smile on Zhuangziqi's face was a little more, he glanced at her, and said, "You little girl is very good." ”

He didn't refuse her to bring in other things.

Gu Jiu knew that Zhuangzi's temper was practical, and there were no bells and whistles.

"Little aunt."

Gu Nianlan was doing acupuncture in the room, unable to move, and when she heard Gu Jiu's voice, she immediately shouted crisply.

This voice sounds a lot more breathless.

Gu Jiu responded with a smile, and when she entered the door, she saw that Gu Nianlan was pierced like a hedgehog, and the grandmother on the side was looking at her, and when she saw Gu Jiu coming in, she hurriedly asked for peace: "Miss." ”

It's just that the circles under his eyes are a little red, and his eyes are full of worry about Gu Nianlan.

This nurse has been taking care of Nianlan since she was born, and she has always been dedicated.

Gu Jiu nodded, saw that she was still holding Xiao Ming'er in her arms and said, "Mama doesn't have to be formal, just sit and rest for a while." ”

The grandmother answered, but she didn't dare to sit down, just stood aside.

Fortunately, Xiao Ming'er is well-behaved and does not make a fuss, and is quietly in her arms, which also makes her a lot easier.

"How does Lan'er feel these two days?"

Because of going to the banquet with Qin Zheng, Gu Jiu didn't come to see her, Gu Nianlan has always been soft-tempered, and when she saw her little aunt comforting herself, she immediately coaxed her eyes and choked up: "Lan'er hurts." ”

With so many silver needles on her body, if it really doesn't hurt, how could Zhuangzi give her medicine that she can't move?

Gu Jiu couldn't see her like this, and touched her head lovingly when he heard this, and said in a soft voice: "Lan'er, it'll be fine in a few days, and the little aunt will accompany you." ”

Her palm was extremely soft, Gu Nianlan looked at her obediently, and responded: "Lan'er is very well-behaved, Lan'er should get better quickly." ”

Seeing her like this, Gu Jiu wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Okay, when you get better, my little aunt will take you out to play, and you can go wherever you want." ”

She comforted Gu Nianlan for a while, and then saw Zhuang Ziqi come in and pull out the needle for the other party.

And Zhuangzi has the heart to teach Gu Jiu, and the process of pulling out the needle is still telling her where the joints and important points are.

Gu Jiu listened carefully, carefully remembering the position he said, and after pulling out all the silver needles, Zhuangzi asked her to hold Gu Nianlan and gave her a bowl of medicine: "Feed her to drink." ”

Gu Jiu hurriedly nodded in response, and fed Gu Nianlan medicine again, while coaxing the little girl in his arms.

The medicine had a sleeping ingredient in it, and the little girl drank it for a while and fell asleep.

She wiped the sweat off her forehead for Gu Nianlan, and looked down to see that the little girl was already asleep, so she carefully put Gu Nianlan back on the bed and covered her with the quilt.

After doing all this, Gu Jiu asked Grandma to guard Gu Jiu here, and he went out to find Zhuangzi Period.

He was packing up the used silver needles, Gu Jiu obediently helped him pick up some of them, and asked, "Sir, I want to take Lan'er back to the house in the afternoon, can you see it?" ”
