Chapter 110: Bite the Hook
"Brother, is it the relationship with the eldest uncle?" Gu Wanyin asked, but her tone was affirmative. After all, at this time, who will come to wade into troubled waters except for their own people?
Gu Congrui shook his head: "I don't know, the yamen only said that this matter is none of my business, let me go back, and I'll leave." But the scoundrel was never released. The day after we entered, the scoundrel was taken away, but he didn't come back when I left. I also said that he had already been released, but his family was still guarding the yamen. When they saw me come out, they cried and made trouble looking for the officials. ”
It stands to reason that this should not be the case. You must know that it was Gu Congrui who started beating people first, no matter what, it would not be Gu Congrui who was released, but the beaten person continued to be imprisoned.
Could it be that the uncle made it through a relationship? Thinking of this, Gu Wanyin couldn't help frowning. If this is the case, I am afraid that if people know about it in the future, it will be criticized?
What's more, in case someone uses this as a threat, or there is a threat to the Gu family.
"Brother, have you come back to see your uncle?" The more Gu Wanyin thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, so she asked again.
Gu Congrui shook his head: "I went to see my grandmother, and my uncle is also on our side?" ”
Gu Wanyin nodded, got up and walked out: "Then let's go, let's go see the uncle." ”
At this hour, Gu Changhong and the Li family should still stay here and not go home.
Sure enough, Gu Wanyin's brother and sister found Gu Changhong in Gu Changfei's study. The two brothers were playing chess in their study. And the Li family served in front of the old lady.
Seeing Gu Congrui, Gu Changhong and Gu Changfei were also inexplicably surprised, Gu Changhong stroked his beard and smiled: "It's coming out soon, it can be seen that the matter is not big." ”
Gu Wanyin was stunned. opened his mouth and asked, "Uncle, did you find a relationship to release my brother so quickly?" ”
Gu Changhong was stunned: "Although I have some friendship with the prefect of Ying Tianfu, I only take care of him and take care of Cong Rui a little, and I don't want him to bend the law for personal gain." ”
In other words, not Gu Changhong? Gu Wanyin and Gu Congrui glanced at each other, both a little surprised. If it weren't Gu Changhong, who would it be? Or is it really an eye-opener?
Gu Changhong saw the expressions of her brother and sister, and immediately pondered some tastes. was also shocked: "Cong Rui, what's going on?" Tell me about it. ”
So Gu Congrui told Ying Tianfu that he was released alone, but he continued to detain the scoundrel.
After listening to the details, Gu Changhong pondered for a long time, but he also slowly frowned: "There must be something wrong with this." I just don't know who is secretly helping us? Or is there something else that the perpetrator has planned? ”
Gu Wanyin was just guessing before, but now I see Gu Changhong saying so. Suddenly, my heart was hung up, and I was unstable for a while. When things go wrong, there must be demons, this is an eternal truth.
Gu Changhong thought for a moment, then stood up and hurriedly walked out: "No." I'll have to inquire. Second girl, you go and tell your aunt. Let her go back first. ”
Gu Changfei also hurriedly followed: "Big brother, I'll go with you." "Looking at Gu Changhong running around and working hard in the past few days, Gu Changfei felt very uncomfortable; It stands to reason that this is his family affair, but he is more leisurely than Gu Changhong, which can't be said.
Gu Congrui also wanted to follow, but Gu Wanyin grabbed him: "Brother's appearance, how can you go out to meet people?" Let's go back to the shower quickly. ”
Gu Congrui gave up and went back to his yard stupidly. And Gu Wanyin turned her head and went to find the Li family.
The old lady still hid it, only saying that because they wanted to discuss marriage, it was not good for the family to have no elders come forward, and Mrs. Klee and the Qi family were both concubines. If you let the concubine entertain guests, it is not in accordance with the etiquette and is easy to make people laugh. So Gu Wanyin invited the Li family to come over and preside over the overall situation.
The old lady was also very satisfied with this result, and she was able to recuperate with peace of mind. I just don't know if it's old. It's still that the previous illness is not complete, and this time I took the medicine and saw no obvious effect. I invited a few doctors to come and see. It's just that they just say that they should recuperate, and they should not be tired.
It's just that even though the old lady can trust the Li family's ability to do things, she still can't let go of her mind after all, and she always has to ask every day. They can only try to say good things as much as possible.
Fortunately, the old lady was asleep when Gu Congrui came over earlier, so she was not seen looking haggard and sloppy. Otherwise, I am afraid that it will not be hidden.
When Gu Wanyin entered, Li was talking with the old lady. Xu had slept during the day, and the old lady was still very energetic at this time.
Gu Wanyin didn't want to talk about this matter for a while, so she said to Li: "Auntie is resting with us tonight, Uncle Fang suddenly had something at the yamen, so I went first, Auntie is so late that it is not easy to go back alone, just go back and squeeze with me." I have a lot of things to do tomorrow, and I don't have to worry about my aunt going back and forth. ”
As he spoke, he quietly handed a color to Li.
Li nodded: "Yes, okay, just follow what you say." Tomorrow's distinguished guests will come to the door, and we can't be rude in front of others. ”
The old lady also nodded and smiled: "That's true." But then he frowned again, looked at Gu Wanyin and asked, "Have they decided on the marriage of the three girls?" Which one? ”
Gu Yingyin hadn't made up her mind at all, and Gu Wanyin couldn't say it at this time, so she had to say, "I'll go and ask the third sister early tomorrow morning." This is not a trivial matter, and she must always think about it. ”
The old lady nodded and sighed: "It's all her own choice, and it's no wonder that we won't have a good time in the future." Then the conversation changed and suddenly looked at her and asked, "What about you, have you thought about it?" ”
No one expected that the old lady would suddenly ask about this, Gu Wanyin's face was embarrassed and embarrassed at the moment, and she didn't dare to look at the old lady, she lowered her head and rubbed the handkerchief, without saying a word. There was a burst of weakness in my heart, lest the old lady see something.
Li hurriedly played a round and said to the old lady with a smile: "Why did the old lady ask so directly? Aren't you afraid of embarrassing our two girls? Her girl's family is thin-skinned, even if she is willing in her heart, how can she show it on her face? It's normal for her to be embarrassed. Anyway. Anyway, the old lady will be able to know the result tomorrow, so why rush? ”
The old man laughed hard when he said this, nodded and said, "Yes, yes, but my wife is abrupt." ”
So at that moment, everyone threw away the topic and did not mention it. Gu Wanyin quietly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
It's just that I can't help but feel sad in my heart - did she live up to the old lady's expectations? It's a good family, and it's like this...... Not to mention the old lady, even she herself felt depressed;
After gossiping for a long time, the old lady gradually showed tiredness, and Li said goodbye with a smile: "It's not too early, Ming'er has to get up early." The old lady also went to bed early. When the matter is settled, I will come back to the old lady in person. ”
The old lady nodded: "It's okay, it's not early, you still have to see guests tomorrow, but you have to have a good rest." ”
Coming out of the old lady's courtyard with the Li family, Gu Wanyin was about to talk about Gu Congrui's affairs today, but she saw a person standing not far from the courtyard door waiting, afraid of being heard, so she stopped again.
The man seemed to have deliberately stood there waiting for them, and when he saw them, he greeted them in this direction. Looking at the figure, I only knew that it was a woman.
It wasn't until they were close to being illuminated by the light that Gu Wanyin and the Li family saw clearly that the person who came was actually the Qi family.
Gu Wanyin smiled slightly, lowered her voice and said, "The fish has bitten the hook." ”
Qi nodded with a smile, and also lowered his voice: "Don't worry, Auntie won't ruin your fishing plan." ”
Because the Qi clan was already very close, Gu Wanyin didn't say anything more. just looked at Qi Shi with a smile and greeted, "Auntie, where are you going?" ”
Qi Shi glanced up at Li Shi, and then lowered his head again, a trace of firmness flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I am specially waiting for the eldest lady here." ”
Li raised his eyebrows and was slightly surprised: "It's so late, is there something to come back to?" What is so important? You've only been on your knees for so long in the afternoon, so you should have a good rest. It's the same with tomorrow's return. ”
"Madame, this matter is indeed very important." Qi was afraid that Li Shi would really leave, so he hurriedly said, his voice low and urgent: "This matter is related to the reputation of the second young lady. ”
Hearing that the Qi family called her Second Miss again, Gu Wanyin only felt funny. It seems that Qi has seen the situation clearly this time? However, I don't know how useful Qi's urgent matter is to her?
If the Qi clan is still trying to be sloppy this time, then she will not be polite. She firmly remembered what the Qi clan did in the temple, and even remembered the humiliation of proposing relatives.
Seeing that the Qi clan was like this, the Li family nodded and said, "Then come with us, I'll hear what the matter is." But I don't have much time, I have to see guests tomorrow, we have to go to bed early, and tomorrow will have the energy. ”
Qi Shi gritted his teeth and nodded, and his posture was extremely low: "I won't delay the eldest lady too much." ”
After saying that, Qi Shi turned sideways and stepped aside, letting Li go first.
Li Shi was not polite, and walked straight over with Gu Wanyin. Qi followed behind, because he had been kneeling for a long time during the day, and he was limping when he walked, which seemed to be very hard.
Gu Wanyin sneered in her heart, and her feet sped up a little. People respect me one foot, and I return one foot to others. Qi is to blame.
Qi followed behind, and it became more and more difficult to walk. When she arrived in Gu Wanyin's courtyard, Gu Wanyin clearly saw a layer of fine sweat on Qi's forehead. His face was also a little pale.
How to say that the Qi family is also pampered, hippie and tender, kneeling for an afternoon is already barely supporting, and it is almost not too much to describe it as shaky at this time.;
