Chapter 13 Ingenuity
The weather in Jinling suddenly turned cold, and after three days, the weather cleared up and the temperature rose, returning to the feeling of late summer.
After two days of recuperation, Shiso's body basically returned to normal.
On this day, Gu Junyi came to find Zisu and told in detail the plan to let Zisu enter the Zhou Mansion.
Gu Junyi said: "Aunt Song of Zhoufu was originally a singer, and later was favored by Master Zhou, so she married into Zhoufu, when this woman first entered Zhoufu, she was very favored, but later she was squeezed out by Mrs. Zhou, and gradually fell out of favor, and her status in Zhoufu was very low. ”
Zi Su said suspiciously: "You want me to get acquainted with Aunt Song in the opera garden." ”
"Yes, just to grieve you. I plan to find the owner of the opera garden, give him a sum of money, and let him cooperate with you to perform a bitter love scene, saying that you are homeless and sold to the opera garden, and then you have no talent for singing, and you are beaten by the boss, so as to attract the attention of Aunt Song, so that she will take you in if she is moved by compassion. ”
Zi Su shook his head, "If you have compassion, you will take me to the Zhou Mansion?" ”
"Aunt Song was like this back then, when she was sold to the opera garden, she was about the same age as you, because she didn't have the skills to learn opera since she was a child, the process of learning opera was very slow, and she was beaten by the owner of the opera garden every day. If you let the owner of the theater beat her up in front of Aunt Song, why wouldn't Aunt Song think about what happened when she was young? will inevitably be moved by compassion, and when the time comes, you beg Aunt Song to take you in, and this matter can be accomplished. ”
If Gu Junyi knew what happened to Aunt Song after marrying into the Zhou Mansion, it would be forgivable, the Zhou family has such a big power in Jinling, and everyone knows about the slightest disturbance in the house.
But how did Gu Junyi know so clearly about those things when Aunt Song was young, as well as Aunt Song's psychological feelings?
Even though Zi Su thought of Gu Junyi's identity as a reporter, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "Why are you so clear about Aunt Song's affairs?" ”
Gu Junyi smiled: "There is something that the reporter can't ask about." I also know that according to Aunt Song's habit, she will go to the fixed theater tomorrow to listen to the play. ”
"If you let the owner of the theater cooperate, don't you need money? You don't seem to look like a rich man. ”
Gu Junyi rubbed his hands, "It shouldn't cost much, I can still afford it." ”
Shisu withdrew a silver bracelet from his wrist, "You just can afford it, and I can't let you pay it, you are helping me now, and I will pay for everything." This is what my mother left me, and you took it to the pawnshop so that I could use it to buy the owner of the theater garden. ”
It can be seen that this Gu Junyi really doesn't seem to have any money, so he didn't shirk at all and accepted the bracelet.
After discussing the strategy, Gu Junyi implemented it with confidence.
Zi Su waited anxiously at the hotel for news from Gu Junyi, never thinking that Gu Junyi would return after going out for less than an hour.
He was sweating profusely, panting and out of breath, and looking particularly depressed.
Seeing his appearance, Zi Su couldn't help asking, "Mr. Gu, what's wrong?" ”
Gu Junyi gasped and said intermittently: "Purple, perilla, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it won't be today." ”
Zi Su hurriedly poured him a glass of water and asked Gu Junyi to drink it, and Gu Junyi told Zi Su about the cause and effect of the incident.
It turned out that after Gu Junyi went out, he went to the pawnshop to get rid of the silver bracelet of Shiso, and planned to find the owner of the opera garden.
Fortunately, the theater garden where Aunt Song went regularly was not far from the pawnshop, and she arrived at the gate of the theater garden in a short time.
He was about to go in, and a woman came out of the gate of the theater, the woman was wearing high heels, and the heel of her shoes accidentally tripped on the threshold, and her body staggered, and she almost fell.
Seeing this, Gu Junyi hurriedly reached out to support the woman.
The woman stabilized her figure, smiled gratefully at Gu Junyi, and left in a hurry.
Gu Junyi had something to do and strode into the opera garden.
At this time, a hawker who usually sells cigarettes in the opera garden pulled Gu Junyi.
"Sir, will you check if you have lost anything?"
Gu Junyi subconsciously touched his waist, and the money he took out was gone.
The cigarette vendor said, "I saw that woman just touched something from you. ”
Gu Junyi shouted that it was not good, this was a thief, this woman actually stole the money he used to help Zisu, and he was in a hurry, so he ran wildly in the direction where the woman left.
The woman seemed to have disappeared, Gu Junyi chased after her on the street for a long time, but she never saw this woman, so she had to go back to the hotel and tell Zisu about it.
"Zisu, I was too careless, don't worry, I'll go back and borrow some money from my colleagues, and then go to the owner of the opera garden at night."
Between Gu Junyi's words, Zi Su understood very clearly, he was indeed a poor reporter with no money, and it took a day to borrow money, it seemed that he and his colleagues were not getting along well.
"Mr. Gu, you can't be blamed for this, it's all because that female thief is too bad, it's not good to steal anyone, but she steals your money. You don't have to borrow money anymore, let's think of other ways. ”
"What else can be done? I inquired, the Zhou Mansion doesn't buy maids, and you don't want servants, you have no other way to enter the Zhou family. ”
Gu Junyi was very annoyed, and slammed his fist on the table, "This damn female thief, I won't let him go next time I see him." ”
Zi Su didn't know how to comfort him, so she silently poured another glass of water for Gu Junyi.
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the room.
Shiso opened the door and was greeted by a familiar face, with big watery eyes, a small mouth, and a pointed chin.
"Ah Xian, it's you!" Zi Su held Ah Xian's hand tightly, as if he had seen a relative, with a worried face, "Why did you leave without making a sound, I have always been worried about you." ”
Ah Xian smiled faintly, avoided her question, glanced at Gu Junyi, and said with a smile: "There are other people in the room, you are so unstable that you are not afraid of others reading jokes." ”
Gu Junyi was stunned when he saw Ah Xian.
"Is that you? The woman who stole my money? ”
Ah Xian smiled: "I seem to have heard someone say just now that you won't let me go next time you see me, why don't you let me go?" ”
Gu Junyi saw that the two knew each other, and he was embarrassed to say anything.
Ah Xian walked to Gu Junyi's side and looked at him from head to toe, with endless coldness in his eyes.
"Your surname is Gu?"
"That's right."
"Reporter of Jinling Daily?"
"Yes."
"In order to investigate the bloody case of the three members of the Pomiao family, did you help Shiso?"
"That's right."
"Are you sure you're not lying?"
Gu Junyi was very tired of this woman who questioned him as soon as she opened her mouth, not to mention that she had stolen her money, this demeanor made him extremely uncomfortable. If she hadn't known Ah Xian, she would have been unbearable.
"This young lady, you ask me so much, I want to know why you stole my money?"
Ah Xian was silent, took out something from his sleeve and put it in Zisu's hand, which was the silver bracelet that Zisu handed over to Gu Junyi to take to the pawnshop.
"This is the only relic your mother left you, how can you be it? Fortunately, I redeemed it. ”
Zi Su looked at Ah Xian with a puzzled expression, and was very puzzled by her behavior, "Ah Xian, I know you are kind, but only in this way can Mr. Gu help me enter the Zhou Mansion." ”
Ah Xian smiled: "If you use your brain, sometimes it is more useful than using money, unlike some people, money can't stand it, how can you succeed?" ”
She was obviously sarcastic about Gu Junyi, and Gu Junyi couldn't help but turn pale.
Zi Su whispered: "Ah Xian, Mr. Gu is helping me like you, it's not good for you to say this." ”
"Help?" Ah Xian sneered and looked at Gu Junyi, "Do you know who the boss behind that drama garden is?" ”
Gu Junyi said unhappily: "How do I know? ”
"Since you know that Aunt Song will always go to that theater to watch the play, why don't you investigate who opened the theater? Why did Aunt Song fix a theater garden to go to the theater? ”
When Gu Junyi heard this, he couldn't help but feel shocked, "Could it be that Aunt Song's own drama garden?" ”
"It's not too stupid, if you find the owner of the opera garden to act, Aunt Song will know your plan clearly, you have worked so hard to let Zisu enter the Zhou family, what will Aunt Song think? What would happen to perilla? What will be the consequences? Have you ever thought of it? ”
Zi Su thought that Gu Junyi knew Aunt Song very well, but she never thought that Ah Xian knew more deeply.
Ah Xian said that the people in the Zhou Mansion were her enemies, and it was normal to understand them in such detail.
Gu Junyi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he heard this, if it weren't for this woman named Ah Xian to stop him in time, he would really cause trouble, although Aunt Song is not a great evildoer, but anyone who is deceived will be angry, once the people of the Zhou Mansion investigate, if they don't talk about themselves, Zisu will not escape the clutches of the Zhou family.
"Miss Ah Xian, I was reckless, thanks to the girl's timely action, so that I didn't make a big mistake."
Ah Xian smiled lightly: "For the sake of your kindness, I don't care about you, but if you are sincere enough to help Zisu in this case, you will listen to me and cooperate with me, I have a way to let Ah Xian enter the Zhou Mansion." ”
can make up for the disaster he almost caused, Gu Junyi has a reason to disagree.
Ah Xian's method was very simple, she asked Zisu to deliberately bump into Aunt Song when Aunt Song had not yet entered the opera garden.
Gu Junyi pretended to be Zisu's brother, beat Zisu in front of Aunt Song, and kept scolding in his mouth, meaning to force Zisu to marry an old man as a concubine, as if he didn't agree, he would sell it to the opera garden.
When Aunt Song heard this, her face was shocked, and she hurriedly asked people to rescue Zisu and drive away Gu Junyi, who was pretending to be her brother.
Zi Su cried in front of Aunt Song, and finally made Aunt Song feel compassion and brought her back to the Zhou Mansion.
Later, Zisu knew one thing, it turned out that when Aunt Song was too young, her brother forced her to marry an old man, but she didn't agree, so she was sold to the theater again.
The life story that Ah Xian made up for Zisu is so coincidental with Aunt Song's life experience?
Zi Su didn't believe it, there were two other reasons for not believing it, how did he know that Gu Junyi was going to the opera garden? Stopped him at a critical time. How did she know that her bracelet was the only relic her mother had left her?
