Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Scholar's Spirit
——————
When the crescent moon woke up, the first familiar face that caught his eye was Ah Zi, and there was a faint pain in the back of his head.
"Where's Sister Xiaoqing?"
The first question after waking up was where Gu Qing was? Ah Zi sat in front of the bed and looked at her with pity: "Miss Gu...... It looks like someone kidnapped, and we only found you alone in the alley. How's it going? Do you still have a headache?"
The crescent moon didn't have time to answer the question, and regardless of the pain in the back of her head, she jumped up from the bed and muttered: "No, Sister Xiaoqing is gone, I have to hurry back to the house to tell the lord and the lady." ”
"Master Gu has already arranged for someone to look for him, will ...... found. Ah Zi said.
The crescent moon was a little relieved, but she still couldn't stay here, she didn't know who hit her in the dark last night, and she didn't know where Sister Xiaoqing went, and Mrs. must be in a hurry.
Ah Zi didn't leave her, simply cleaned up, and accompanied the crescent moon to the Gu Mansion together.
Gu Mansion has long been in trouble, and after hearing that Gu Qing was gone, Yu Niang's eyes widened and she fainted directly. Last time, I was kidnapped by Mr. Du, so I knew a direction and knew how to find someone, but this time I didn't see anyone in the middle of the night, where to find someone?
The atmosphere of the plum courtyard here is sluggish, Yuyuan is very happy, and invited a drama to go to the house to sing a small song to the willow leaves, Yu Niang can't say it, and faints after some stimulation.
Gu Lin stepped forward, drove away the play, and counted her in front of the maids, without giving Liu Ye any face, and beat her hard.
Liu Ye was not an angry master, he broke a lot of things in the room at the moment, and said a lot of angry things to deliberately anger Gu Lin.
"In my opinion, let that little girl fend for herself, and if she can't find anyone overnight, who knows where she went? What if she finds it? This woman, she can't tell ...... more or less" mockery.
Gu Linqi's beard was about to rise to the sky, and she warned Liu Ye three and five times, but she was stunned and took it as a deaf ear, and challenged his bottom line again and again.
"Shut up for me!" Gu Lin shouted.
Liu Ye's eyes widened, he grabbed the clothes on his chest, and asked loudly: "You yelled at me again? After marrying into the Gu Mansion for so many years, how many times have you quarreled with me for the sake of that mother and daughter? Why do you treat the things you picked up as treasures!"
"Look at the things you've done before, what doesn't make me upset? Do I have to mess with you? Do you make me worry?"
"Heh, it's all a little bit of a woman's family, I didn't kill anyone and I didn't set fire, I'm really annoying to worry about the master. According to the saying, other people's children will be lost if they are lost, saving worry and effort. ”
Liu Ye's tone calmed down, and his words were still bitter.
Disputes are disputes, Gu Lin has not lost his rationality, although Liu Ye's words are wrong, but there is some truth.
Gu Qing's identity is not important, after all, he is a person from the previous dynasty, and when the matter is revealed in the future, he Gu Lin will be more or less inextricably involved, why not according to what Liu Ye said, this catastrophe, let her fend for herself?
In fact, Gu Lin could drive Yu Niang's mother and daughter out of the Gu Mansion to avoid unnecessary trouble, but Yu Niang was the woman he loved after all, and he didn't want to waste his wishful thinking for so many years.
If there is no Gu Qing, everything will be easy.
Too lazy to confront Liu Ye, he flicked his sleeves and walked away.
The room was full of messes, the maids didn't dare to say anything, Liu Ye sat on the ground, and watched, she wouldn't let the mother and daughter have a good time.

I smell a very fresh and natural smell in my nose, like bamboo. Gu Qing was locked up in a small wooden hut, where the man had left her last night, her eyes were still covered with a black veil, and she didn't know anything about her surroundings.
When the man was still here, she tried to talk to him, trying to get something out of his mouth, but the man was very alert and was not affected by her in the slightest.
It was already oriental and the sky was bright.
She was already cooing with hunger, and if she had known in advance that she would be kidnapped, she would have eaten two more bowls of rice at Ah Zi's last night.
When the man left, he reminded her of the location of the bed in the room, but fortunately she didn't freeze.
Since the man can kindly remind her that he has not hurt her since last night, it means that the man has no bad intentions. Why did you kidnap her? Could it be that he was taking the opportunity to extort money from the Gu Mansion?
Anyway, she will find out the situation first.
The door was pushed open with a creak, and Gu Qing pricked up his ears and listened attentively to all the movements in the room.
A person walked in, and his steps were extremely light, with a faint hint of rouge in the air.
If you have light steps, if you are not a woman, you are a person with excellent light skills. In contrast, Gu Qing chose the former.
She didn't speak, she held the food box in her hand, put the food in the food box on the table one by one, and the fragrance of the food immediately wafted into Gu Qing's nose.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Gu Qing spoke first, "What's your name?"
The woman paused, did not answer, turned around and pulled the door with the food box and left.
It's just a few blinks of an eye.
Gu Qing was even more curious, didn't the people who kidnapped her like to talk?
The woman's action of putting down the meal was also very light, as if she was afraid of disturbing her, Gu Qing noticed something, could it be someone she knew?
The smell of the food made her feel hungry, but she tied her hands behind her back and told her how to eat?
After a while, someone pushed the door in, and if Gu Qing guessed correctly, it was the man who kidnapped her.
Sure enough, the man's deep voice came: "It's time to eat." ”
After another meal, it should have been considering the problem of her hands being tied, the man moved the table to the bed, thought for a while, and said, "I will untie you, will you escape?"
Gu Qing didn't think about it, and blurted out without thinking: "No." ”
Because she was hungry, she didn't have the strength to run for her life.
The man was obviously a little hesitant, but after a while, he decided to untie her, but the black veil on his eyes was not removed.
Gu Qing was interested, his hand touched the table for a long time, and finally it was the chopsticks handed over by the man, and after a while of gobbling up, his stomach finally felt a warm temperature.
"Along the way, the food was getting cold. Gu Qing said, with another meaning hidden in his words. She guessed that the meal must not be made here. Since he was carrying a food box, it meant that he had passed a long distance along the way, and it seemed that the wooden house was isolated from the city. The surroundings are so quiet, and the smell of bamboo forest is strong, she can't be in the mountains, right?
As soon as the thought came to him, he hurriedly blurted out: "We are ...... now Is it in the mountains and forests?"
I felt that the man's movement to collect the dishes and chopsticks slowed down, but he didn't make a sound.
After Gu Qing's hands were tied again, okay, she resigned herself to her fate for the time being, and saw what tricks these two people were going to do.
It stands to reason that she didn't offend anyone. If she really kidnapped her to ask her father for money, she would have to be told by the prophet, right?
The man quickly packed up and left the room, leaving Gu Qing alone.
She couldn't move her hands or her eyes, so she had to lean on the bed in a silent daze.
It is okay to have a small open space outside the hut called a yard, but it is surrounded by rows of fences. The wooden house is surrounded by a fresh and natural bamboo forest, and the towering bamboo is about to penetrate into the sky.
There was a man and a woman standing outside the fence, the woman seemed to complain, and turned away from the man, while the man was carrying a food box and was gently persuading.
"My good lady, even if it helps me, when the matter is done, I will let her go immediately, and I will not hurt her a hair. "The man who spoke was Yanan.
The woman is Ah Zi.
Her eyes widened with anger, and there was anger in her eyes, and when she saw the outline of Yanan's pleading, her heart softened, and her clenched fist slowly loosened.
Her bridegroom, who had planned the kidnapping on her wedding day yesterday, didn't know about it until this morning.
When she delivered food to Gu Qing in the morning, she didn't dare to come out, for fear of revealing clues, if Gu Qing knew everything in the future, how would she behave?
Seeing that Ah Zi didn't agree, Yanan shook her arm and persuaded again: "Ah Zi, you believe me, when I meet with Prime Minister, I will send her back soon, and she will be sent back intact." Ah Zi, you know me, I have no ambitions, but I have nowhere to sway, I need a step. ”
Of course, Ah Zi knew, but when he thought that he was using Gu Qing as a bargaining chip to blackmail Murong, he felt inappropriate.
I'm afraid that Murong won't give him a good face.
Hey, that's it, she's already Yanan's person, even if there is a sword mountain and a sea of fire ahead, she has to break through with him.
"You must remember that Miss Gu's hair must not be hurt in the slightest. She warned.
Yanan was overjoyed, put the food box on the ground, tightly circled Ah Zi in his arms, and said softly: "Ah Zi, believe me." When I become famous, I will definitely marry you again with miles of red makeup. ”
On the day of success, it is easier to say lightly, but it is more difficult to really act than to ascend to the sky.
Just like Yanan, he has been up and down in the capital for more than 20 years, ranking among the best in officialdom exams large and small, but his family is poor and he can't bribe the examiner and the relationship between the government, resulting in the officialdom dream has not progressed.
The kidnapping of Gu Qing was also a last resort, he was good by nature, but he was red-eyed by the dark officialdom.
Yesterday, Gu Qing attended the wedding banquet, and he began to secretly calculate, and in the afternoon, he speculated that he would let them stay, and only the moon and the wind were high at night was the best time.
Ah Zi has liked Yanan for more than ten years, and he is a neighbor, a childhood sweetheart.
Coupled with the fact that he didn't dislike everything he had experienced in Du Mansion, how could she let him down?
Now I just hope that things can go on peacefully.
On the Gu Mansion's side, she had already reassured Yu Niang, and she guessed that nothing would go wrong.
Gu Qing in the wooden house didn't know the conversation outside the courtyard at all, and felt bored, so he leaned on the head of the bed and fell asleep.

Prime Minister's House.
The spring color of the garden can not be suppressed, the red and yellow flowers are clustered with each other, hidden in a piece of emerald green, and the beauty in the pavilion is holding a paintbrush, outlining a picture of the deep spring on the drawing paper.
