Gu Qingzhou had three masters: "Mu Zonghe" Wang Zhi, Qi Laosi and Zhang Chuchu.

Among them, Qi Laosi was only nominally Yingmao, and he did not teach Gu Qingzhou martial arts.

Qi Laosi himself picked up a three-month-old orphan on a snowy day, named Qi Shu, and raised him as an apprentice.

Qi Shu is a bit stupid, he has been stupid since he was a child, everyone else calls him Qi Erbao, Gu Qingzhou can't be angry, so he calls him "Qi Erbao".

Her nurse also called Qi Erbao.

Other people with a little kindness were also embarrassed to call a child a fool all day long, and they followed Gu Qingzhou to call Qi Erbao.

Later, everyone forgot his original name and only replaced it with Ersil or Erbao.

Although Qi Erbao is a little stupid, he is clever and powerful.

When Gu Qingzhou left his hometown, Qi Erbao was nine years old and twelve years old this year, and he always called Gu Qingzhou "senior sister".

If she claims to be her junior brother, she must be Qi Erbao.

Gu Qingzhou's heart was extremely warm, and he hurried to the gate.

Sure enough, she saw a child in shabby coarse cloth clothes, half-crouched in the corner of the gate, his eyes staring in all directions very vigilantly.

His hair was disheveled, about ear-length, and he hadn't had a haircut for a long time, almost covering his eyebrows; He was barefoot, his trousers were half short, and he was so dirty that he could no longer see his original color; The top is clean and fitting, but unfortunately it's all patches.

Gu Qingzhou's heart was sour.

It's hard to see that the adjutants didn't beat him out as a beggar.

The adjutants all knew that Gu Qingzhou was from the countryside, and this poor relative could really be her family, so they had more kindness to Erbao.

Gu Qingzhou blinked, swept away the sad tears that came up unexpectedly, and shouted: "Erbao." ”

Erbao stood up suddenly.

Seeing Gu Qingzhou, he showed a big smile, and he could see his back molars.

After laughing, before he could shout a word of senior sister, he opened his mouth and cried.

Gu Qingzhou was stunned.

The adjutants who came out also looked at each other.

"Erbao, don't cry, don't cry." Gu Qingzhou stepped forward and took his hand, "Let's go, go home with Senior Sister." ”

Erbao nodded.

He was only twelve years old, and he was already taller than Gu Qingzhou. When Gu Qingzhou left, he had just arrived at Gu Qingzhou's ear.

His hands were covered with small wounds, covered with mud, and the original flesh and skin could no longer be seen.

This child was picked up by Qi Laosi, but Qi Laosi is a big boss, where will he take care of the child? It has always been Gu Qingzhou's nurse and Gu Qingzhou who are taking care of it.

Gu Qingzhou died, the nurse was gone, and Erbao lived as a wild man first.

"Senior sister, I'm hungry." Erbao followed Gu Qingzhou inside, crying and saying to Gu Qingzhou.

Gu Qingzhou stopped and said to the adjutant behind him: "Let the kitchen bring food up, the sooner the better, and you can serve whatever you want." ”

Adjutant said yes.

Gu Qingzhou led Erbao to the main courtyard, and wanted to call the adjutant to come over with a set of clothes, but saw that the adjutant Tang Ping had already held a set of old clothes: "Young lady, this is borrowed from a servant, which is probably the size of the young master." ”

"It's not a little young master, his name is Qi Erbao, you can also call him Erbao. He has had many disasters since he was a child, and he is called some blessings. Gu Qingzhou said.

Tang Pingdao is.

Gu Qingzhou said to Tang Ping again: "You take him to wash." ”

Erbao has grown up, and it is not good for Gu Qingzhou to take him to take a bath.

Qi Erbao was very vigilant.

Gu Qingzhou raised his hand and touched his head: "Erbao, this big brother will take you to take a bath, don't be afraid, senior sister is at the door." ”

She went along.

Qi Erbao nodded.

Sure enough, the door of the bathroom was not closed, and Gu Qingzhou stood not far from the door, talking loudly to Erbao, so as not to be afraid again.

"Erbao, where have you been in the last few years?" Gu Qingzhou asked.

Qi Erbao thought for a while: "Far away, I also took a boat." ”

Boat?

I'm afraid I'm just crossing the Yangtze River, right?

After Gu Qingzhou left the countryside, the nurse said that let her solve the Gu Mansion smoothly, and the nurse and the master hid first. Later, Qi Laosi and Zhang Chuchu also left.

"How are you doing?" Gu Qingzhou asked again.

Qi Erbao said: "It's not good, we strike iron, it's very hot." ”

They were two masters and apprentices, and later lived in seclusion somewhere, making a living by striking iron.

Gu Qingzhou's heart tightened.

Qi Erbao is now alone in Yuecheng, so what about Qi Laosi?

"Erbao, where's Master?" Gu Qingzhou finally asked what he wanted to ask.

Qi Erbao's voice choked: "It's gone." ”

Gu Qingzhou's heart was slightly cold.

Adjutant Tang changed three buckets of water before he vaguely washed Qi Erbao out of a little human appearance.

Even Erbao's messy hair, Adjutant Tang also washed it clean and smooth.

After changing his clothes, Gu Qingzhou almost didn't dare to recognize the two treasures that came out of the bathroom.

Qi Erbao was only twelve years old, and he already had the stature of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child, a little taller than Gu Qingzhou, and his eyes were bright.

It's not particularly good-looking, but it's also energetic.

"Grown up." Gu Qingzhou couldn't help but sigh, "It's only been three years, Erbao, you're about to look like an adult." ”

In the past, Qi Erbao has always been like a stinky child, not as tall as Gu Qingzhou.

Qi Erbao also rarely knew how to be shy, so he grabbed the hem of his clothes and asked Gu Qingzhou: "Senior sister, where is the food?" ”

Gu Qingzhou laughed and took him to eat.

Sure enough, there were seven or eight plates on the dining table in the restaurant, with all kinds of snacks in the morning, as well as one or two side dishes.

Qi Erbao devoured it.

Gu Qingzhou sat next to him and silently poured him a glass of water.

After burying his head in hard work and eating half full in one go, Qi Erbao's movements slowed down, and most of the food on the table had already gone.

The cook brought another plate of chicken noodle soup.

"Erbao, why did you come to me? What about Master? Gu Qingzhou only spoke at this time.

Qi Erbao grinned and wanted to cry again: "Master is gone." ”

Gu Qingzhou hurriedly pushed a plate of fried spring rolls in front of him, and the two treasures ate one of them, and they stopped crying, and they ate it.

This is a foodie, and when you have something to eat, you can forget everything.

"Why is Master gone?" Gu Qingzhou waited for him to eat one, and then asked him.

Qi Erbao's mood stabilized a little now.

While eating, he told Gu Qingzhou: "Master is gone, when I got up, Master left, I looked for him for several days, and he didn't come back." ”

"And how did you find me?" Gu Qingzhou asked again.

She didn't think that Qi Erbao had such a mind and ability to find Yue Cheng all the way.

Qi Erbao took out a letter from his arms and showed it to Gu Qingzhou.

This letter is written in the handwriting of Qi Laosi to "Brother Shi".

Qi Laosi said in the letter: If he disappears one day, ask someone surnamed Shi to send his apprentice Qi Erbao to Yuecheng, and he will give him fifty yuan.

The letter stated Gu Qingzhou's address.

Gu Qingzhou had two sighs: one was that Qi Laosi actually knew her address. After she arrived in Yuecheng, she never met them again, but he was Menqing.

The second is that Qi Laosi actually has fifty yuan, where did he save such a sum of money? If you strike iron, let alone three years, you can't earn fifty yuan in ten years.

Gu Qingzhou looked at Qi Erbao's embarrassment, and knew that it was the master's friend who took the money and sent Erbao directly over, but did not clean him up, which showed that the other party was not good.

"Do you know the person who sent you here?" Gu Qingzhou asked again.

Erbao shook his head.

"Haven't seen it before?"

Erbao nodded: "I haven't seen it." ”

Gu Qingzhou remembered the dress before Erbao, probably he wore it when he was striking iron, right?

"Did Master tell me where he went?" Gu Qingzhou asked, "Have you talked about it before?" ”

Erbao said: "No. ”

Gu Qingzhou knew that this matter was tricky, so he said to Erbao: "You can live here with peace of mind, and Senior Sister will help you find Master." ”

Erbao nodded vigorously, and then burped.

Gu Qingzhou shouted to Tang Ping and said, "Among the adjutants in our family, who will shave their heads?" ”

She looked at these adjutants, all of them had short hair, but she had never seen them go out to get a haircut, which showed that the family was good at this.

"Adjutant Sun will." Tang Ping said, "Do you want to give Erbao a haircut?" ”

"Call Adjutant Sun over." Gu Qingzhou said, "With something to shave your head." ”

Tang Pingdao is.

As soon as Tang Ping left, Gu Qingzhou told Qi Erbao: "Go back, senior sister asked someone to cut your hair, let's go make a set of clothes, okay?" ”

Qi Erbao blinked his big eyes.

He didn't understand how to cut hair, but he understood how to make clothes.

"I want that." He gestured to the adjutant at the door.

Gu Qingzhou smiled, it was rare that he actually had his own aesthetics.

"That kind of no, that kind of thing is worn by soldiers, and if you don't have a military status, you can't wear military uniforms indiscriminately." Gu Qingzhou said.

Qi Erbao listened to his senior sister's words very much, and immediately sighed, without words.

Gu Qingzhou gave him a haircut, and called someone to invite a tailor to come over and measure and tailor Erbao.

Erbao was wearing the maid's old clothes, long coat and trousers, and looked too loose.

Gu Qingzhou asked someone to go to the ready-to-wear shop and bring two sets of clothes.

It is difficult for ready-to-wear garments to fit exactly the size, so you can only take them that are as close as possible.

The adjutant went to the ready-to-wear shop to buy suspenders and short-sleeved shirts for Erbao, which was very fashionable. The pants are a bit big, and the hems have to be rolled up twice.

Combing his hair and changing clothes, Erbao's whole body changed a lot, and Gu Qingzhou almost couldn't recognize it.

However, Erbao was very unhappy, and always felt that this dress was not as good as the military uniforms of the adjutants.

He stared at the lieutenants' uniforms, pulled down his suspenders, and hung his head in despair.

Gu Qingzhou laughed and laughed.

"Erbao knows beauty and ugliness." Gu Qingzhou said.

No matter how stupid a child is, he will grow up.

Gu Qingzhou settled Erbao, and his mood seemed to be good, as if he had an extra relative.

After Master Qi settled Erbao and entrusted him to Gu Qingzhou, he left by himself, so Gu Qingzhou was not so worried.

Master Qi was originally to avoid revenge.

She thought so, and after two days, the new mayor's inauguration papers were issued.

He Mingxuan succeeded as mayor, and public opinion is still very optimistic about him and respects his character.

On the first day of taking office, the He family held a banquet and invited celebrities and nobles from the political, business, and military circles in Yuecheng, and Gu Qingzhou was also invited.

He Mingxuan personally came to invite Gu Qingzhou.
