Gu Qingzhou got Si Xingpei's gold bar, plus Gu Guizhang's two, a total of three.

All of them were exchanged for cash, as well as the one given by Si Overseer before, Gu Qingzhou had more than 3,000 yuan in cash.

In Yuecheng, a thousand yuan can buy a simple small house, and Gu Qingzhou can bring the nurse from the countryside to the city.

The remaining more than 2,000 yuan, if the price does not rise and the situation is stable, it is enough for Gu Qingzhou and her nurse Li Ma to live in tight clothing and food for seven or eight years.

Seven or eight years later, she must have regained her grandfather's property.

Gu Qingzhou's heart was stable.

With such a large sum of money, Gu Qingzhou has completely gained a firm foothold in the city, and now even if the Gu family drives her away, she can not be in a hurry.

The only thing that made Gu Qingzhou unsure was Si Xingpei.

On the same day, she exchanged all the three gold bars for money, and handed over all the money to Mu Sanniang.

Mu Sanniang and He Mengde are both very serious people, no matter how poor they are, they will never dare to take the property of Mu Zonghe's apprentices.

After receiving the money, Mu Sanniang's heart was hot: such a large amount of money, Qingzhou actually kept it for me, she trusted me so much!

Mu Sanniang tried her best to dig a pit under the bed where she was lying, put all the money in a jar, hid it carefully, and didn't dare to move it.

After settling his belongings, Gu Qingzhou dragged his tiredness back to the Gu Mansion.

It was still raining when he went back, Gu Qingzhou didn't call a rickshaw this time, for fear of falling asleep on the rickshaw again, but took the tram directly.

She hadn't ridden a tram.

The tram stopped two streets next to Gu's mansion, and Gu Qingzhou got off the bus, held an umbrella and walked home.

The drizzle is misty, like a light weave of melancholy, and the criss-crossing rain curtain is like a light mist in the late autumn forest, covering the prosperity and making the vision hazy.

Although Gu Qingzhou was holding a dark green tarpaulin umbrella, the drizzle still wet her clothes, and the white fox fur was covered with water droplets, which were crystal clear.

She was thinking about it.

When I think of him, my heart can't help but feel heavy, as if I have entered his cage and can't break free.

At dusk, the pedestrians on the street were in a hurry, their clothes were swaying, and the orange street lamps were slowly lit up, stretching Gu Qingzhou's shadow obliquely and thinly.

When she returned to the Gu Mansion, it was completely dark, half wet, and half haggard.

She didn't have the appetite to eat.

After eating a few bites casually, Gu Qingzhou went upstairs to take a bath, and then nestled in the quilt to read.

Then, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in." Gu Qingzhou's voice was low, and he didn't have much strength.

It was Gu Shao who pushed the door in.

Gu Shao held the pastries just made in the kitchen and a cup of hot milk.

"I don't see you've had enough for dinner." Gu Shao held it on a red lacquer tray, his hands were white and slender, and his bones were distinct.

In this family, except for the third aunt and servant, Gu Shao has the most kindness to Gu Qingzhou.

Any kindness is a comfort to Gu Qingzhou. The latest and fastest updates

"Thank you, brother." Gu Qingzhou said.

Gu Shao put the tray on the table, served the cake to Gu Qingzhou first, and asked Gu Qingzhou to dig slowly with a small spoon.

"Qingzhou, not long after you came back, you can't understand many things at home, don't be afraid." Gu Shao was gentle, "Mom and sisters, they have no ill will towards you. ”

They are full of malice.

Gu Shao may not understand. Even if he understood, he had to appease Gu Qingzhou.

Gu Qingzhou followed his words and nodded.

"It's okay tomorrow, I'll take you to the dance, okay? Just take a break, I see you're in a bad mood these days. Gu Shao said in a low voice.

When he said this, his expression was a little embarrassed and flustered, as if a young man had invited his sweetheart, and he was anxiously waiting for a response.

Gu Qingzhou's heart was warm.

Gu Shao is her brother, but he does not have the shadow of Qin Zheng, nor does he have Gu Guizhang's temper, in this family, Gu Shao is like an independent magnolia.

He is elegant, pure, and very attentive to Gu Qingzhou. This kind of intention made Gu Qingzhou's immature heart brighter.

The haze brought by Si Xingpei was swept away.

"Okay." Gu Qingzhou couldn't bear to brush off the young man's kindness and said with a smile.

There are many dance halls in Yuecheng, and every big restaurant has prepared a dance hall, and dancing has become a very fashionable thing, and it is chased by noble ladies and celebrities.

After breakfast the next day, Gu Shao was ready to go out, he changed into a pure white shirt, a coffee-colored suit, a striped vest of the same color, a gold pocket watch on the pocket of the vest, and a long blue-gray windy coat.

He held a "Si Di Ke" in his hand, which was a civilized stick, and he was dressed as a French gentleman, making him look a little more mature and handsome.

When he went downstairs, Gu Yan saw him first, and couldn't help but exclaim: "The Gu family's little Koehler, quite stylish!" ”

Koehler, also a foreign term, refers to a man of the petty bourgeoisie.

"What are you going to do?" Qin Zheng frowned and asked, "You won't have some messy girlfriend outside, right?" ”

girlfriend

Gu Shao blushed inexplicably.

He was born fair-skinned, so red, more and more conspicuous, Qin Zheng was slightly surprised: "You really have a girlfriend?" Whose daughter is it? ”

Then he asked, "I can tell you, if you have a low background, you can only be an aunt's wife, don't get too entangled with people - what's your girlfriend's name?" ”

Inquired about his girlfriend's identity in disguise.

Gu Shao came back to his senses: "It's not a girlfriend, it's a male classmate who made an appointment to go to the dance hall, and today he is on his birthday, and everyone is dressed up." ”

Qin Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Yan also found it boring.

Gu Shao wanted to go out with Gu Qingzhou, but when he was teased by his mother and sister, he was inexplicably flustered and actually left first.

After arriving at the dance hall, he called Gu Qingzhou again and asked her to come to the dance hall by car.

Gu Qingzhou was puzzled, but still went.

"I'll go to the Si Mansion and come back later." Gu Qingzhou still uses this excuse.

They went to a dance hall opened by an Englishman, called Fole Gate, and the glazed gate was colorful and beautiful.

At the door stood a tall, golden-skinned Indian waiter.

Gu Shao was waiting for her at the door.

His hair was neat, he had taken off his wind, and he was dressed in a well-tailored suit, and the obsidian buttons were flowing with a warm light, just like his man.

"Brother, you're so handsome today." Gu Qingzhou sighed.

Gu Shao went from his cheeks to the root of his ears, smiled for a while, stretched out his hand, and let Gu Qingzhou's hand fall on the crook of his arm.

"Thank you." Gu Shao said in a low voice, his heart was very sweet, and he was greasy.

Si Xingpei had some important matters to talk about with the military government's logistics minister today, and happened to go to the Fole Gate Ballroom.

He walked on the stairs of the private room on the second floor, and habitually looked at Si Xingpei in all directions, and saw a beautiful woman smiling like a flower on the first floor.

It's his little woman - Gu Qingzhou.

She wore a mid-sleeved moon-white cheongsam embroidered with silver silk roses, a long shawl adorned with tassels, and her snow lotus-like arms were hidden in the tassels, looming, and undescriptively beautiful.

Like a goblin with a hook.

And opposite her, sat a weak little white face.

Si Xingpei's face turned cold all of a sudden.

It's a little thing, I taught her a lesson just a few days ago, and she was not allowed to talk to a man indiscriminately, and in the blink of an eye, she hooked up with a little white face, and she didn't take his words to heart at all.

She was afraid of him, not enough!

Si Xingpei's thin lips pursed slightly, revealing a bone-eroding coldness.
