Gu Qingzhou received a call from the customs yamen and did not inform Gu Guizhang.

She even instructed her family: "If the yamen calls again, it will say that the master is not at home." ”

There is no need to wake up Gu Guizhang.

She was still busy knitting wool.

The garment was woven, but only two sleeves had not been woven, like a waistcoat.

Gu Qingzhou has been busy for more than half a year, and the sweater has just begun to take shape, and it takes nearly 100 times more effort than others.

She took the semi-finished product and went to Si Xingpei's annex like an invitation.

"Come on, try." Gu Qingzhou said.

Si Xingpei's eyes were warm and serene, without the anger and ruthlessness of the first sight, he was like a docile leopard, quietly guarding his most beloved girl.

"It's not easy, it's really well knitted." Si Xingpei smiled, very surprised. He asked Gu Qingzhou to weave wool, but he didn't expect her to really knit it.

Now it's an unexpected joy, and the joy has inexplicably added a layer. He stretched out his arms and asked Gu Qingzhou to put on a sweater for him.

The sweater was a bit baggy, missing two sleeves, and the neckline was so high that it almost strangled his neck.

But it's so warm, so warm that people's hearts are soft, like the scorching sun of spring, through the skin and bones, the wisps shine in.

Gu Qingzhou looked at it and straightened his collar for him: "The neckline is higher, I'll dismantle it and re-tie it." The clothes are a little loose, and the sleeves have to be tightened with two more stitches. It's a little ugly, you can't blame me for that, I'm not skilled. ”

"It's already good, it's not ugly at all!" Si Xingpei listened to her plan with a smile.

She used to have ten fingers that didn't touch the spring water, but now she has learned to knit wool, and she has become more and more like a wife, like a family business.

"In another week, you'll be able to wear it." Gu Qingzhou said.

When she came home that night, she removed her collar.

In a moment's hurry, she dismantled and re-knitted, vowing to weave the collar well. It seemed simple, but before she knew it, she was busy until three o'clock in the morning.

There was a noise downstairs.

It was Gu Guizhang and the fifth aunt who came back.

"Man, open the door!" Gu Guizhang raised his neck and scolded.

He was very loud.

The maid ran over and was kicked hard by him, and he shouted angrily: "It's all corpses, what's the use of asking you!" ”

The maid snorted and almost burst into tears. Gu Guizhang was wearing leather shoes, and he was a middle-aged man, and the strength of this foot can be imagined.

Gu Qingzhou lifted the corner of the curtain and watched quietly.

She lowered the curtains and turned off the lights in the room.

The next day, the maid Luo's sister-in-law said to Gu Qingzhou: "Miss, I won't do it after I finish this month." ”

The one who was kicked by Gu Guizhang last night was this sister-in-law Luo. She was hurt and afraid, the owner of the Gu Mansion had been reduced by more than half in less than two years, making the maid feel insecure.

Gu Qingzhou groaned slightly: "When did you achieve a full month?" ”

"Twenty-eight of the old calendar." Sister-in-law Luo said.

There are still five days to go.

Gu Qingzhou asked again: "How many years have you been in the Gu Mansion?" ”

Sister-in-law Luo was a little sad and said, "It's been five years." "The Gu family is not rich, and my wife is not a philanthropist. But people are a bit habitual, and once they get used to it, they don't want to move places.

It's just that now, the Gu Mansion is no longer the same, the hearts of the people are scattered, and Sister-in-law Luo can't bear it.

Sister-in-law Luo was kicked by Gu Guizhang last night, her heart hurt all night, and she made up her mind to leave, she didn't want to die in Gu Mansion.

Gu Qingzhou nodded.

She went upstairs, took three months' wages, and settled it to Luo's sister-in-law.

"Take it to the doctor, last night's kick was a bit heavy, you go to the church hospital for a check-up, and you should take medicine to buy medicine. Buy some supplements for the rest. Gu Qingzhou said.

She immediately let Sister-in-law Luo go without embarrassing her.

Sister-in-law Luo thanked her for her kindness: "Miss, you are a bodhisattva, God will bless you." ”

Gu Qingzhou smiled bitterly.

She is not a good person, God doesn't need to thunder her, he has already treated her very well.

During the meal, Gu Guizhang went downstairs with a tired face, and Gu Qingzhou told him about Sister-in-law Luo.

"Sister-in-law Luo wants to leave, so I will send her away, and the king will answer the door at night." Gu Qingzhou said.

Gu Guizhang was immediately furious: "Who let you call the shots?" Are you in charge, or am I in charge? ”

He's very angry.

The aunts and wives held their breath and were silent, hating to bury their heads on the dinner table.

"Abba, you've been quite tired lately, and I've helped with the housework." Gu Qingzhou said, "Besides, I didn't ask you for a money housekeeper, did I?" I fill in all the food and drink these days. ”

Gu Guizhang was immediately speechless.

But there was still anger in his heart.

A nameless fire burned his internal organs.

Gu Qingzhou said again: "Abba, the yamen called and asked when you will recover." What is wrong with you? ”

Gu Guizhang was slightly stunned.

He hadn't been to the yamen for a month.

After going upstairs, Gu Guizhang smoked two cigars, and the fifth aunt said to him: "Master, you can sleep a little more during the day, and your spirits will be better at night." ”

Gu Guizhang pushed her away hard.

He took a shower and changed his clothes, and went to the yamen.

Seeing this, the fifth aunt hurriedly went to Gu Qingzhou: "What should I do, he went to the yamen again." ”

Gu Qingzhou arranged Zhou Yan by Gu Guizhang's side, and the ultimate goal was to make Gu Guizhang fall into gambling addiction.

The stock incident last time made Gu Qingzhou understand that although Gu Guizhang was a bastard, his mind was very firm, he didn't touch opium and gambled, and tried to pull him to gamble, which was impossible!

There's a connection to this.

Gu Guizhang had a lot of family business when he was a child, and he was also the grandson of the landlord's family. But his grandfather became obsessed with gambling and lost all the family's land.

At that time, Gu Guizhang was only six years old, lost his ancestral business, and his life plummeted.

His father is an old man, and he has no ability. Grandpa lost all his belongings, his parents had no support, and complained for the rest of their lives. Gu Guizhang has also listened to it all his life, and he knows the dangers of gambling.

Such a psychological shadow exists, deep-rooted, and it is extremely difficult to get Gu Guizhang into the casino, and he usually doesn't even touch mahjong much.

The temptation of the stock was so great last time, Gu Guizhang was able to stop it in time, there was no special trap, and Gu Guizhang could not be trapped.

In order to push him into the pit, Gu Qingzhou first created a series of pains in his life, making him angry at his family, annoyed with his work, and hated women.

The departure of the second aunt was Gu Guizhang's first blow, which made him doubt his charm and majesty.

After the second aunt escaped, Gu Guizhang lost a large amount of money, which made him feel heartbroken, which was the second blow.

Vice Chief Hu deceived Gu Guizhang and let Gu Guizhang be scolded by the chief executive, which was the third blow, so that Gu Guizhang could not see the future of his career and was suppressed and excluded by his colleagues.

Baolai's bones were exposed, although it was not to hit Gu Guizhang, but it also gave Gu Guizhang a heavy blow, making him frightened, afraid that he would be charged with murder, this was the fourth blow.

All this pain added up is so heavy that anyone wants to escape from reality, escape from it.

Family, yamen, all made Gu Guizhang unable to stay, he simply had nowhere to escape.

The fifth aunt asked him to gamble again, and Gu Guizhang went.

The casino he went to was arranged by Gu Qingzhou.

The fifth aunt is too good at giving out thousands, and in that casino, she will never be beaten for thousands of dollars, so Gu Guizhang made a lot of money and tasted sweetness and happiness.

This is gambling addiction.

Gambling addiction, like opium addiction, is particularly difficult to quit.

After winning for half a month and making a lot of money, Gu Guizhang became addicted.

He didn't even go to the yamen, which shows that he is deeply trapped.

In recent days, Gu Guizhang is no longer blindly winning, he sometimes wins, sometimes loses.

If you lose, you want to turn over, if you win, you want to win more, the ups and downs make Gu Guizhang have no other thoughts, and all his energy is on gambling.

His gambling addiction is getting worse.

He knew that this would ruin him, but he was so deep in the mud that he could never pull it out again.

Gu Qingzhou gave the fifth aunt a task, and the fifth aunt was about to complete it.

But today, Gu Guizhang actually cleaned up his mood and went to the yamen, which made the fifth aunt too shocked, could it be that all the previous efforts were in vain?

The fifth aunt was too panicked and found Gu Qingzhou: "Miss, what should I do now?" ”

"It doesn't matter." Gu Qingzhou's expression was calm, her tender white arms were pressed against the wool, and she was knitting carefully, and her slender eyelashes left a faint shadow, covering her sight completely.

She looked like a white jade statue, and her face was completely emotionless.

The fifth aunt was too stunned.

After a long time, Gu Qingzhou raised his eyes and said again: "Don't worry, what is he doing in the yamen, I don't know yet." I'm addicted to gambling, and I can't quit without losing half my life, don't worry. ”

The fifth aunt is in a hurry, and Gu Qingzhou is calm, in contrast, the fifth aunt is too busy to restrain her thoughts: "The appointed time is coming soon." ”

Gu Qingzhou found the fifth aunt, there is a time stipulation. If Gu Guizhang is not allowed to enter the urn when it is outdated, Gu Qingzhou will send the fifth aunt to prison.

The fifth aunt lost all of Zhu Shengru's belongings, and killed Zhu Shengru, she has already committed public anger, the Zhu family is looking for him everywhere, and the world is waiting to see what happens to her.

Whether she can survive or not depends on Gu Qingzhou.

"There's no need to rush." Gu Qingzhou smiled slightly, and the smile on his lips was shallow.

The fifth aunt hung her head too much.

Gu Qingzhou said: "Fifth aunt, you have been doing a good job!" Everything has a little twist and turn, and you don't want to panic when you encounter a setback. ”

The fifth aunt was too stunned.

"Believe in yourself." Gu Qingzhou laughed in a low voice.

The fifth aunt said, "Thank you, Miss." ”

"Let's get out." Gu Qingzhou continued to weave wool, her arms were delicate and white, pressed against the wool like jade lotus, making her look extraordinarily gentle.

Such a gentle girl actually used such a poisonous trick to frame her father.

The fifth aunt was too chilling.

"I want to get rid of Gu Qingzhou as soon as possible!" The fifth aunt thought to herself.

Gu Guizhang went to the yamen, but two hours later, he came back again, carrying a suitcase in his hand.

He sent someone to call the fifth aunt.

When the fifth aunt heard that Gu Guizhang was back again, her heart was a little settled, and she knew that she had not missed. She went downstairs and went to the study.

"Come here, show you something good!" Gu Guizhang said with a smile.

Zhou Yan was slightly surprised.

Gu Guizhang opened the suitcase.

Seeing the contents of the suitcase clearly, Zhou Yan was stunned, and looked at Gu Guizhang with a somewhat incomprehensible look on his face
