Chapter Twenty-Eight: First Arrival in the Capital
Gu Jinshu inside heard his voice, and the emotions that had just calmed down became tense again, but last time it was because of the water bandits, and this time it was because of this uninvited guest.
"I've already rested, so let's rest early, old gentleman!"
The voice outside paused for a few moments, but in the end it didn't go away, only listened to him patiently whisper: "I promised your father to take care of you all the way to the north, and the things that I promised people naturally can't be perfunctory." ”
Gu Jinshu's good-looking brows tightened in the dark night, a layer of frost condensed on her delicate cheeks, and her slender jade hand clutched the brocade quilt on the couch.
"Since the old gentleman is not at ease, then he will guard outside, so as to live up to my father's instructions before leaving."
"Okay."
Shen Qingci didn't show much displeasure on her face, and summoned someone to find a chair and sat at the hatch of her ship, quite immovable, this move made Gu Jinshu inside almost bite her teeth, and finally turned over and closed her eyes, as if she wanted to be out of sight and out of mind.
On the other hand, Liao raised his head lazily when he heard the return of his subordinates, a pair of bright starry eyes flashed a little curiosity, and his voice was mixed with a little impatience: "I thought he had nothing outside his heart, and he didn't want to care about anything." ”
She thinks that she has seen all kinds of people over the years, is used to seeing the ghosts and ghosts in this world, and has seen too much dirt and dirt. For those people, she could see what they were thinking and looking for with a glance, but this old man was an exception.
I thought that this master in this world disdained trivial matters, and I didn't want to care about things. But as long as there is something important, then he is not an insurmountable difficulty.
"That Gu family girl is just the daughter of a judge, and it is strange that she can condescend to a master like him."
"It is said that this old gentleman is the bookkeeper of the Gu family."
He had already inquired a lot of information before coming back and forth, otherwise he would not be satisfied with the owner's style of acting.
Hearing him say this, a little satisfaction appeared on everyone's faces, and they looked at him approvingly and said, "You did a very good job this time, and you will report to the chief steward after returning to the capital." ”
"No."
The man was busy kneeling down and thanking him, he had been in the Liao family firm for many years, although he was in charge of the business, it was difficult to integrate into the real power center of the Liao family firm, and this time the owner said that his future road would be much smoother.
In the early morning of the next day, Gu Jinshu had just taken steps towards the door, and the person had quietly appeared in front of her, and she rolled her eyes and crossed over.
It wasn't until he saw Ge Jiaming's uncle and nephew that he stopped.
"Gongzi Ge, I don't know how many days will it take to arrive in the accompanying capital?"
The sudden appearance of the water bandits yesterday made her nervous, although Ge Jiaming came to appease her in person, but she also knew that these were some people who licked blood from the knife edge, who knew if it would make a comeback? If it weren't for the fact that my grandmother was seriously ill, she would never have gone north at this time.
Only when she arrives in the capital can she put her mind at ease.
"We will arrive in five or six days, and if Miss Gu is worried because of what happened last night, then I can promise her that nothing like this will happen on the next journey."
"Ge Gongzi is serious, but he is just a little uncomfortable walking on the water for many days."
Ge Jiaming has already said this, if she doesn't know how to be interesting, she won't be a person.
"I heard Aunt Wei say that Miss Gu is very good at Danqing, Ge has a reluctant request, I wonder if I can draw a birthday picture for my grandfather?"
He had seen this little girl's painting in Xiao Mansion that day, although she was a little immature, she already had everyone's demeanor. Of course, he wasn't drawing the painting, but letting her deflect her tense expression, so as not to always remember the events of last night.
Last night's scene was nothing more than a seven-foot man for them, but it was a little bloody for the boudoir girl.
"If Childe doesn't dislike it, I'll order someone to send it in a while."
Gu Jinshu returned to her cabin with a normal expression, while the uncle and nephew who were staying on the board glanced at each other.
"You should be warm-hearted, but when it comes to Xiao Luo, you can take this trivial relationship to heart?"
Hearing his uncle's sneer, Ge Jiaming took a few steps closer to the railing of the boat and laughed a little wantonly: "Those who attack people's hearts look at people's feelings, isn't this what you taught us?" ”
Since he wants to conquer Xiao Luo's heart, he naturally has to put the people related to her first.
"Have you checked the origin of the old man next to her?"
Although it was only a slight glance just now, when the nephew asked the girl for a birthday picture, he clearly felt an overwhelming coldness.
"I heard what the head of the Gu family once said, this old man is the bookkeeper in his house."
"Mr. Bookkeeper?"
Second Master Ge touched his mustache, and the look on his face seemed to be separated by a layer of veil, and he looked a little ethereal.
As soon as Gu Jinshu returned to her cabin, Shen Qingci's figure had already appeared there, looking at her with deep eyes. Before she could react, the man had already flashed to her side: "You said you only painted for me." ”
"It's just a coax to you, but you take it seriously."
When the ladies entered the palace to ask for paintings, she was born lazy, unwilling to do anything but not offend people, so she looked for Shen Qing to make a raft.
She still remembered his happy appearance at that time, as if there were love words between his eyebrows and eyes, and there was a bit of Buddha nature in his whole person, which was essentially different from the demon who was rumored to kill without blinking an eye.
Seeing his increasingly pale face, she walked straight to the chair and sat down, her eyelids raised a little: "The most taboo thing in this love between men and women is that others treat you as a cat and a dog, but you think you have found the love of your life." ”
Listening to her words, Shen Qingci's body swayed slightly, the corners of his lips squirmed a few times, and finally he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and it took a long time before he left a sentence and slammed the door: "Gu Jinshu, your mouth is really poisonous, even more poisonous than that heart-killing grass." ”
The two men did not see each other again for the rest of the journey, and it was not until the ship arrived in the capital that the two of them glanced at each other from a distance, but the moment their eyes met, they were staggered without a trace, like two strangers.
Gu Jinshu's figure had just stood still, and a middle-aged man had already strode over, and his voice couldn't stop excited: "But Xiao Shu'er? ”
Listening to the delicate but excited voice, Gu Jinshu opened her eyes wide, and saw that the look of the person who came was also happy, and every expression was full of joy, changing the lifeless appearance on the ship: "Uncle." ”
