Chapter 23: Reunion of Old Friends
In the matter of ransom Hongjin, Gu Qingyi couldn't go into battle in person, after all, her face was too dangerous.
So she asked Mama Hong to find a man with a new face and go to the other side to find out the news.
When she first heard that Gu Qingyi was going to redeem Hongjin, Hong's mother was so happy that she danced with her hands, thinking that she had specially dug it up to Fengxian Tower, but when she heard that it was a repayment, she almost didn't stop.
"What are you talking about, you turned out to be the top brand of Huayue Tower! No wonder you look so familiar. Mother Hong had a shocked expression on her face, "Oh no, a beauty like you is willing to let Mrs. Zhao go?" ”
Gu Qingyi raised her eyes to look at her, after more than a month of getting along, she found that Mother Hong was actually not bad, so she didn't plan to hide it.
"Of course I didn't release it, I escaped." After speaking, he also threw a wink at Mama Hong.
Mother Red got goosebumps when she saw it, waved her hand, and said with a sneer:
"Gotta have it, don't look at me like that, you are now the God of Wealth of our Fengxian Building, whoever moves you will have to fight with her, it is impossible to sell you."
Gu Qingyi grabbed Hong's mother's arm, "I know that we have a good relationship." ”
Mother Hong smiled, she wanted to hug Gu Qingyi to death, "It's not that the relationship is good, you are my own sister!" ”
After speaking, he asked tentatively: "Good sister, if you have anything else, just shake it out together, I can still bear it." ”
Gu Qingyi thought for a while, nodded and said, "You're right, there is one more thing I have to tell you in advance, just in case." ”
This 'just in case' was spoken, and Mother Hong's expression became serious, "Isn't it my sister, you have an enemy to chase and kill?" ”
Gu Qingyi looked at Mother Hong's rare serious appearance, and couldn't help laughing, "Sister Hong, it's not as serious as you think, I'm actually the concubine of General Gu's mansion." ”
"What?! You are the young lady of the General's Mansion! "Mother Hong's mouth grown, and then she was so anxious that she turned around the house, she kidnapped the young lady of the General's Mansion, which is a crime of killing the head!
Gu Qingyi sighed, thinking that Mother Hong was a person who could stand things, and she didn't think that a general's mansion would make her mess up.
"Sister Hong, I'm just the most unfavored concubine in the General's Mansion, you don't have to panic, if the family really cares about me, they would have sent someone out to find it."
When Mother Hong heard this, she frowned, "Could it be that you are the third lady who was just found outside?" ”
"How do you know?" Gu Qingyi was aroused, why did she mention not being favored, and Mother Hong would think of Miss San.
Obviously, the Shen family's father and son said that she was the most favored.
Gu Qingyi waited for an answer, but Mother Hong kept silent, as if she was taboo about something.
"Sister Hong, why didn't you say it, why is it the third miss who is not favored, didn't you say that General Gu searched all over the city when he disappeared many years ago?"
Gu Qingyi pulled Mother Hong's arm, eager to know the reason.
"Alas, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have mentioned this old matter......" Mother Red looked at her with pity in her eyes.
"Twelve years ago, I was still an ordinary Qing man, who specially performed for those dignitaries, and once I met General Gu......"
The story told by Hong's mother was not long, but it made Gu Qingyi slow down for a long time, what kind of deep hatred and resentment could be so cruel to her daughter.
"Therefore, I was sold into the Qinglou by them, and thanks to the bad business of the Qinglou before, I can live to this day." Gu Qingyi had a self-deprecating smile on her face.
Although she is not the original owner, she is moved by such a cruel truth.
The original owner has been cautious in Huayue Building for more than ten years, and if the new owner of Huayue Building had just taken over and let her pick up guests, it would not have caused a tragedy.
The Gu family was the culprit who killed her, Gu Qingyi's heart suddenly hurt so badly that it seemed that there were ten thousand needles passing through, and it became difficult to breathe.
It's the remnants of the original owner again, you must be sad, Gu Qingyi asked in a low voice in her heart.
"Sister, don't mention the past, then don't stay at home, anyway, as long as Fengxian Tower is in one day, this is your home." Mother Hong saw that Gu Qingyi's face was ugly, and gently held her hand.
Gu Qingyi nodded, "Sister Hong, thank you for being willing to tell me this, but don't talk about it with others in the future, otherwise ......"
"I naturally know, if General Gu knows that I am talking everywhere, then my little life will be over." This is a matter that damages the reputation of the Qing Dynasty, if it spreads, General Gu is afraid that his official position will not be guaranteed.
At night, Gu Qingyi tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep.
She has been thinking about Mama Hong's words, and she always feels that the original owner's matter is not so simple, and she also feels that Mama Hong's words are false.
After all, such a serious matter, how could the little guy report it to General Gu in public.
However, she believes that Mother Red will not harm her, so there is only one possibility, she is protecting her.
Gu Qingyi, who had thousands of questions, finally couldn't stay up and fell asleep on the fourth watch.
The next morning, she saw the face she hadn't seen for a long time.
"Red Brocade!" Gu Qingyi shouted and hugged the girl in front of her tightly.
"Qingyi, you're really alive, great!" Hongjin still felt incredible, there had been no news for so long, and she thought that her friend had passed away.
Gu Qingyi looked at the girl in front of her, she was thinner than she remembered, "Thanks to you, otherwise I would have died in Huayue Tower." ”
Hongjin also looked at her and smiled, now that Gu Qingyi could appear in front of her alive, she suddenly felt that the torture was worth it.
"It's great to be able to redeem you, I didn't expect the housekeeper's mother to agree."
Gu Qingyi's words made Hongjin lose his mind for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "A person who can't bring benefits, of course, let it go." ”
Listening to Hongjin's tone, Gu Qingyi noticed something unusual, "Hongjin, is something wrong?" ”
Hongjin shook his head, "It's okay, it's just that I don't accept customers, so Mother Zhao thinks I'm useless, in fact, she wanted to kick me out for a long time, but my deed of sale didn't expire, so I stayed until today." ”
"No, something must have happened to you, Hongjin, what else can't we say, you ......" Gu Qingyi was in a hurry for a moment and grabbed Hongjin's arms.
"Ahh Hongjin didn't hold back and exhaled in pain.
Gu Qingyi hurriedly let go of his hand, his face solemn, "You're injured, let me take a look." ”
Unable to resist Gu Qingyi, Hongjin lost half of his clothes, and the intricate wounds were all over the body, and the new and old injuries were overlapped, and few were intact.
Gu Qingyi's eyes suddenly turned red, "Hongjin, how could you be injured like this?" ”
Hongjin's eyes dodged, "Qingyi, don't ask, knowing too much is not good for us, but why did you live in the Qinglou again, and still live opposite the Huayue Building?" ”
