Chapter Forty-Eight: All Things Are Empty
Gu Qingge was surprised when he received Su Wan's letter.
Approaching the assessment of Lintian Academy, even he is preparing seriously, this cousin of his own, if he doesn't prepare seriously, what should he do with someone who understands Qimen Dunjia?
Frowning slightly, Gu Qingge went to find Gu Qingyan.
"Cousin-in-law wants you to help her find a strange person who understands the Nine Palaces Gossip Qimen Dunjia?" Gu Qingyan gently tapped on the sandalwood table and asked.
"Isn't it difficult?" Gu Qingge looked up at his brother: "After all, people who know these things have a bit of a strange temper, I'm afraid it's not easy to get along." β
Gu Qingyan smiled faintly when he heard this: "This matter is not difficult to do, everyone from Qimen has been friends with me, and he has been hiding in the suburbs of Beijing, but no one knows." β
After that, after Gu Qingyan went around to the bookshelf, he tapped lightly somewhere on the bookshelf, and a small drawer popped out, and he took out a letter that looked very old from the small drawer and handed it to Gu Qingge:
"You give this letter to your cousin and ask her to go to Wuji Mountain to find Lou and Lou, but whether he is willing to go out of the mountain to teach his cousin depends on his cousin's creation."
Looking at Gu Qingge's departing back, Gu Qingyan sighed. He spared no effort to help his cousin, blood relationship is only one of them, and the most important purpose is just to help Qingge pave the way. Hopefully, when the time comes, my cousin won't let herself down...
Holding the envelope given by Gu Qingge, Su Wu took a serious look, thinking of Lou Dao's fame, and then looked a little solemn.
Standing up, Su Wu bowed towards Gu Qingge and saluted: "Cousin, thank you for your help." β
Hurriedly helped Su Wu up, Gu Qingge glanced at Su Wu silently, and asked, "Cousin, I don't know if it's convenient to reveal, what are you looking for someone who understands the Nine Palaces Gossip Qimen Dunjia?" β
"Actually, I don't know if I can succeed..."Hearing Gu Qingge's inquiry, Su Wu's expression was a little flustered: "If it can be successful, let's talk about it..."
Since the assessment of Lintian Academy is approaching, Qingyun Academy's discipline of students has become more and more strict, and the time of Mu Xiu has shrunk again and again, and after waiting for a long time, she has not found a time to go to Wuji Mountain, so Su Wu had to go to the Confucius Institute to judge and ask for a day of Mu Xiu.
The temporarily hired carriage drove smoothly on the endless mountain road. At the end of spring, the air is a certain sultry, and the indefinite mountain road is extremely cool.
Lazily leaning on the pillow in the carriage, listening to the sound of the wheels rolling, Su Wu's expression was indifferent, but her heart was slightly anxious.
There was only a vague address on this envelope, and I had limited time, so if I couldn't find this place, wouldn't it be a waste of effort? And even if he found a place, Lou Dao himself was not easy to find, otherwise how could he dare to live in Wuji Mountain on the outskirts of Beijing with peace of mind?
"Squeak-"
"Phewβ"
A sharp stopping sound was accompanied by the sound of the coachman's horse, the carriage stopped suddenly, and Su Wu was unprepared and slammed into the car board.
Gently rubbing the back of her sore head, Su Wu frowned almost invisibly. Zhishu lifted the curtain and jumped down, threatening to reprimand the coachman.
But when he saw the situation outside the carriage, Zhishu suddenly fell silent.
On the mountain road that is not wide in Wuji Mountain, a woman's facial features are twisted together in pain, and there is a broken cry of pain in her mouth, rolling on the ground.
Not far away, a cloth bag is ajar, revealing the new high-quality clothing of Kyoto.
After not hearing the movement outside for a long time, Su Wu half-lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, glanced at it, and probably guessed what the situation was.
The scenery of Wuji Mountain is very good, the summer is especially cool, there are also a lot of rich people here to buy a grange, to live in the summer, the woman in front of her, probably a maid of a certain family, came out to buy clothes, but the result was unwell, rolling on the ground in pain.
After getting out of the carriage, Su Wan, accompanied by Zhili, walked quickly to the woman.
It was not real in the carriage, and after walking in, the woman's sweat-soaked hair was scattered aside, revealing her real face, and Su Wu found out that this woman was extremely beautiful, I am afraid that it is not as simple as a maid.
With a look in her eyes, Su Wu had something important to do, and she didn't want to get into trouble, so she turned around and was about to leave.
The woman saw Su Wu and grabbed Su Wu's hem: "Please... Help me..."
Looking at the hem of her clothes that was pulled by this woman, Su Wu sighed, squatted down, and asked, "How do you need me to help you?" β
Who knew that the woman's pale face was dyed with a touch of crimson, and the voice that replied was as thin as a mosquito: "I... The moon is coming..."
Su Wu had heard that some women with cold bodies would die of pain when they came to menstruation, but she didn't want the woman who looked extremely painful in front of her to be because of this, and she immediately felt a little uncomfortable:
"Zhishu, Zhili, carry her to the carriage."
"Miss..."Seeing that Su Wu was about to carry a strange woman into the carriage, Zhili felt that it was inappropriate, and wanted to stop it, but seeing that Su Wu had turned around to go back to the carriage, she had to swallow her words.
After drinking some hot water, the woman looked much better, although her face was still pale.
"Thank you for your help, young lady." Although she was unwell, it still couldn't affect the agility in the woman's voice.
"No thanks. Where is your home? I'll ask the coachman to take you home. β
Wuji Mountain is on the outskirts of Beijing, and it takes a lot of time to come from Qingyun Academy, calculate the time, and it will be time for me to return to Qingyun Academy soon, Su Wu was slightly irritable, but she also had to take care of the woman in front of her.
The woman fell silent, as if struggling and hesitating.
Su Wu didn't speak, and looked at the woman in front of her lightly.
After a long time, the woman seemed to have made up her mind: "Then it will be troublesome Miss." Then he gave an address.
Hearing the address given by the woman, Su Wu's heart moved.
There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!
Unexpectedly, the address mentioned by the woman was eight points consistent with the vague address on the envelope.
Does that mean that this woman is a member of Lou Dao's family?
The woman saw that Su Wu's expression was dark and uncertain, and she thought that Su Wu felt that the address she said was difficult to find, which caused her trouble, so she was displeased.
Thinking like this, the woman hurriedly explained: "My lord has a strange temper and doesn't like to make friends with outsiders, so the location is a little remote, but I can show the way." β
Hearing the woman's explanation, Su Wan was even more sure that the woman might be someone from Lou Dao's family, and couldn't help but smile faintly: "Then it's troublesome... You've got it. β
The woman in front of her looked seventeen or eighteen years old, and she was past the age of getting married, but she was combing the hair of a woman who had not yet come out of the pavilion, and Su Wu didn't know how to call her, so she had to pass by vaguely with "you".
The woman didn't care about Su Wan's title, but she was relieved to hear that Su Wu agreed.
After all, I don't know all my life, I am a stranger lying down on the mountain road, and after being rescued by a little girl, I have to trouble other girls, which is really unpleasant.
And... If it weren't for my body, I wouldn't let anyone know my specific address...
