Chapter 15 The Crisis of the Family
The three of them had already returned to Gu Feichen's blue brick house.
The maid beside Bai Ruoxi was telling Gu Feichen about the scene in distress just now, Gu Feichen's face turned blue and white for a while, regretting that he was not there and missed the opportunity to save the beauty of this hero.
On the other side, Bai Ruoxi took the prescription prescribed by Gu Changsheng, and her brows were also furrowed.
Except for the tiger claw vine and tongue lingzhi, a few old elixirs, if you want to make up the rest, you still need to spend hundreds of spirit stones.
The spirit stones in her and Gu Feichen's hands together can make up at most two hundred, and more than half is missing.
"You don't have to worry about the elixir, the elixir of the short year should be found in Qingyuan City." Gu Changsheng guessed Bai Ruoxi's thoughts.
"Thank you, Senior Brother......"
"You're welcome, it's all a family! Feichen, don't you say? Gu Changsheng sent a divine assist.
When Gu Feichen heard Gu Changsheng say this, he immediately nodded in agreement:
"Yes, yes, the eldest brother is right, you and I are a family, you don't have to speak two words!"
"You ......"
Bai Ruoxi lowered her head shyly, and a blush flew on her cheeks.
She turned around a little embarrassed, and after hesitating for a moment, she lowered her head with her red lips slightly open, acquiescing to the relationship between the two.
Gu Feichen was already happy to find the southeast and northwest at this time! Touching Bai Ruoxi's jade wrist, it was like drinking honey, just a strong smirk!
…………
Three days later, Gu Changsheng said goodbye to the two of them, stood on the bamboo leaf magic weapon and flew towards Qingyuan City.
At midnight, Gu Changsheng happened to come to the sky above Qingyuan City, he changed into a dark suit in a secluded place, and prepared to explore Jiumen Mountain at night.
Along the way, he gently floated from the roof with the help of magic weapons, quietly avoided the patrol people, and came to the foot of Jiumen Mountain with his memory.
He landed lightly on the house opposite the mountain gate, and after carefully observing it for a long time, his body suddenly turned into a wisp of light smoke, and floated in from above the mountain gate.
The so-called Jiumen Mountain is actually a big earthen bag in Qingyuan City, which was bought by Gu Ming and transformed into a huge private garden.
The hillside is densely covered with greenery, and there are many flowers and trees planted between the pavilions and pavilions, although the surrounding scenery cannot be seen clearly at night, but the strong smell of flowers and plants still makes people feel more comfortable, and Gu Changsheng can't help but have some good feelings about this place.
"Huh!" Gu Changsheng suddenly snorted softly, and a phantom array appeared in front of him.
"The chain formation in this mountain is quite strict, no wonder there is no guard here." Gu Changsheng chuckled, this kind of simple chain array was not enough for him, not to mention that he also had the Qinglan Ring that represented the highest power of the Gu family.
Wearing that ring, as the blue light shone slightly, Gu Changsheng didn't dare to delay any longer, and escaped into the chain array, slowly diving towards the place where there were lights in the middle of the mountain.
Along the way, Gu Changsheng had dodged several hidden outposts, and if he hadn't used his divine sense to find out their location, it would have been really easy for them to detect.
It seems that the guard of the Gu family is loose on the outside and tight on the inside!
Gu Changsheng arrived at the pavilions and pavilions in the middle of the mountain, but he didn't mean to stop, but went straight to the back mountain.
It wasn't until he saw a small, brightly lit attic that came down, and this building was much more heavily guarded than the others, almost to the point of three steps and one post.
With his memory, Gu Changsheng knew that this should be the residence of the third aunt Gu Lian, this person was rigorous in his work and had a gentle temper, and he was more suitable for dealing with.
So, he took advantage of the night like lightning, and in a flash, the people arrived on the corridor outside the second floor, and the whole process was only in the blink of an eye, and the guards who were arranged around the small attic did not react in the slightest.
Gu Changsheng squatted down beside a half-open window, letting his figure disappear into the shadows, and then pricked up his ears to listen carefully to the situation in the room.
With a divine sense far beyond ordinary people, Gu Changsheng heard clearly what a woman in the room said.
"Cloud City Branch, sell a batch of medicinal materials today, and earn 13,000 taels of silver."
"Fufeng City Branch, buy a batch of Qihuang today, and pay 8,500 taels of silver."
"Guangling City Branch, I received five orders today, and I need to prepare ......"
………………
"Since the Hu family stepped in, our Gu family's medicinal materials were forced to sell at a reduced price, and the income during this period was nearly thirty percent less than in previous years!"
It was a young woman who spoke, her voice crisp and powerful, but her words were full of indignation.
"Mother, if this continues, the loss of our Gu family's medicinal herb business will become bigger and bigger, you should hurry up and think of a way!" The woman was in a hurry, and her voice grew louder.
"I know it in my heart, don't worry about it!" A woman's muffled voice sounded beside her.
"This is the voice of the third aunt!" Gu Changsheng's spirits perked up, and this voice sounded a little familiar.
"Mother, don't we want to fight back? If it goes on like this, at the end of the year, our Gu family medicine store will drink the northwest wind! The young woman said eagerly.
"This matter has to be decided by your uncle! Neither your second uncle nor I can call the shots! The woman replied lightly, a little carelessly.
As soon as these words came out, a young woman's sigh suddenly sounded in the room.
After a long while, the young woman's unwilling voice came again: "Mother, how long is the uncle going to retreat?" You must know that the Hu family has colluded with the Zhao family and the Liu family, and the Taiqing ancestor is also secretly supporting the three of them, so our Gu family has to make adjustments quickly! ”
"It's not your turn to worry about this, take care of your accounts and do your own thing!" The woman said lightly.
"But seeing that other families have robbed us of our business, how can you let me swallow this breath? Uncle is really! Since you want to close the pass, why don't you give power to the second uncle and you! The woman was disgruntled, clearly dissatisfied with the status quo.
"Don't talk nonsense! Your uncle does this, naturally he has his deep meaning, how can you comment indiscriminately! The woman scolded the young man severely.
"Mother, don't be angry, can't I admit my mistake? It seems that this retreat is also very important! The woman relented and hurried to reassure her mother.
"Alas, children, there are times when you have to learn to be patient...... "The woman doted on the young woman, and could not bear to reproach too much, and at last she only smiled bitterly.
Gu Changsheng was already sure at this time that the woman in the house was the third aunt he was looking for, and the woman should be the daughter of the third aunt, and he couldn't remember the name for a while.
Gu Changsheng reached out and touched the sachet hidden close to him, which contained Gu Ming's handwritten letter, as well as the Qinglan ring on his finger, and was ready to show up to meet the two.
"Mother, Cousin Qi Feng and Cousin Zong Yuan have been getting more and more excessive! When you meet me in the back garden today, you actually make a lot of nonsense about me, saying that your uncle wants them to learn to do the medicinal herb business with you, and they look like they think they are shrewd and capable, which is really annoying! ”
The girl suddenly said something angrily, which surprised Gu Changsheng, and her body, which was about to stand up straight, bent down unconsciously.
"You have to be polite to the two cousins, after all, they are your uncle's sons, don't let them seize the handle to sue you!" The woman's face sank when she heard this, and she said solemnly.
"Humph! Just the two of them, if they really take over the medicinal herb business, this Gu family medicine house will definitely go out of business in less than three years! The woman said fiercely.
"This is also something that can't be helped, although we know that these two losers are not business materials, but they are your uncle's sons after all! But you can rest assured, this Gu family can't take the two of them to speak, after all, your immortal cousin is the eldest son, and no matter how bad it is, there is still your cousin Feichen. The woman's voice was full of banter, and her words revealed contempt.
