Chapter 11 The adopted daughter of the Su family
"Big brother, someone is looking for you outside the door."
Gu Qingjue was in the back hall, just carrying a bow and arrows, planning to go up the mountain to try his luck and see if he could hunt a bigger prey, so that he could exchange some money for his family and subsidize his family.
Gu Qingxi shouted in front of the hall.
Gu Qingjue put down his bow and arrows and walked quickly from the back hall to the main hall.
It was the master of Gu Qingjue's private school, the master's surname was Zhou, he was over fifty years old, his hair was gray, but his eyes were bright and bright.
"The student has seen the Master."
"Okay, good, Ziyuan, your house is still quite easy to find."
Master Zhou was in a good mood, and his face was full of smiles.
Gu Qingjue laughed lightly twice, and greeted Master Zhou on the throne, there was no tea at home, but a few pots of boiling water were prepared.
Gu Qingjue poured a glass of water for Master Zhou before asking him what he meant.
"You haven't been to the school for a few days, I, as a master, naturally want to come and see, didn't you say that your fiancée fell into the water two days ago, and now it's better?"
"Lao Fuzi is worried, she is fine."
"That's good, since there is nothing to do at home, you will go to the school tomorrow and continue your studies. This study is like practicing martial arts, and it should not be wasted for a day. ”
It turned out that Master Zhou came to the door in person because he wanted Gu Qingjue to return to the private school to continue his studies.
"The master's heart, the student's feelings, but the family is in trouble, it's really ......"
In the book "Price Research in the Song Dynasty", it is recorded that the mercenaries in Huaixi of the Northern Song Dynasty were able to pay 100 yuan a day for cooking.
It means that ordinary people, at the end of the day, work diligently, and only have an income of about 100 yuan a day.
And now, they only have 178 wen left in their money bags.
Weekday expenses need at least 30 wen per day.
In this way, we will run out of food in a few days.
He can't get enough to eat, so how can he have spare money to study and study.
"It's a pity that your knowledge is buried, because the teacher knows your concerns, I will be relieved, you just need to come to class on time."
When Master Zhou's words fell, Gu Qingxi clapped his hands and jumped up: "Okay, big brother, so you can go to the private school again." ”
Gu Qingjue touched Gu Qingxi's head with a slight smile.
did not immediately answer Master Zhou's words.
Su Yixin took Gu Qingming to take a nap in the room, the door was open, and Master Zhou's words could be heard clearly.
She knew what Gu Qingjue was hesitating about.
Going to a private school is not just a matter of restraint.
The expenses of a family of four all point to him alone, if he goes to a private school, how can he have time to hunt and earn money, relying on Su Yixin's half-old child?
Gu Qingjue has a responsibility, and he will not put this burden on a woman.
Su Yixin folded the quilt for Gu Qingming and got up to go to the main hall.
She had to open her mouth to solve Gu Qingjue's worries, in short, the book must be read.
"I've seen the Master."
Su Yixin bent down and saluted, this ceremony was still taught to her by Fan, which was very standard.
Zhou Qingya was slightly surprised.
He heard that Gu Qingjue had a bride in his family, thinking that she was a young lady who couldn't take the table, but he didn't expect it to be a polite little lady.
"You are Ziyuan's daughter-in-law?"
"It's me."
Su Yixin smiled and nodded.
Gu Qingjue got up and introduced: "Master, the insider's surname is Su, and she is the adopted daughter of the Su family in Lotus Village. ”
Master Zhou understood: "It is actually the daughter of the Su family." ”
It was a surprise.
Gu Qingjue's private school is in the northeast of Wangjia Village, on the way to Tongyuan Town, turn left for a mile.
As for Lotus Village, it is a two-mile road to the right.
The cross road was wider than the others, and it was the only way to get to the town, where ox carts often waited, pulling villagers from several nearby villages to the town.
As they came and went, the two villages that were close to each other became more and more familiar.
The Su family is quite famous in Lotus Village.
This "famous" is not a compliment.
It was because Su Qizhen, the eldest son of the Su family, opened a red mansion in the town.
In the beginning, business in the Red Mansion was very hot.
The Su family made a lot of money because of this.
Within two years, the Red Mansion began to haunt.
At first, there were people who did not believe in evil and waited there in the middle of the night, but when the door was opened the next day, the man hanged himself.
No one wants to go now.
I went to the Red Mansion to spend money to have fun, not to spend money to send my life.
The business of the Red Mansion is getting worse day by day, and the girls in the building are gone.
Su Qizhen also became addicted to gambling, and lost all his family's savings in two days, and also pledged the title deed of the ancestral house in Lotus Village to the gambling house, but he still did not have huge gambling debts.
The people in the gambling house chased Su Qizhen all day long, knocking on a dull stick from time to time.
Su Qizhen was beaten with internal injuries.
In order to save Su Qizhen, Su's father and mother sold Su Yixin's twenty taels of silver to the Gu family.
At that time, several nearby villages knew about this.
Zhou Qingya naturally knew about it, but he didn't know that the sold daughter of the Su family was Gu Qingjue's Chongxi bride.
"Master, don't worry, Ziyuan will go to a private school early tomorrow morning."
"Okay, it's not in vain for the old man to go on this trip. Ziyuan, your daughter-in-law is really good. ”
Master Zhou stood up and patted Gu Qingjue's shoulder: "In my life, there are few proud protégés, you are the most intelligent child I have ever seen, don't waste it in vain." ”
After Master Zhou left, Gu Qingjue looked at Su Yixin and sighed helplessly.
"If I go to a private school, how will you support this family alone?"
"Why not?"
She is not a weak woman who can't resist her shoulders and can't lift her hands.
As an occultist, she has a way to make money.
Su Yixin didn't say much, and went back to the house to prepare things for Gu Qingjue to go to the private school tomorrow.
When he was going to bed at night, he instructed Gu Qingjue: "When you go to the private school tomorrow, you remember to remind the master that you must not go to the northwest in the past two days." ”
"Why is that?"
"Just tell the Master, and you'll find out in two days."
Late at night, Su Yixin extinguished the oil lamp and lay on the bed, thinking about how to earn money and feed the family in the future.
Thinking about it, I fell asleep.
After falling asleep, Su Yixin had a dream, dreaming of fighting with others in her previous life, and also dreamed that when she was in the Su family, Su's father and Su mother, who were polite to her, had mixed thoughts, so that Su Yixin couldn't tell whether it was in a dream or in reality.
"Woo woo woo ......"
Woman, wake up, there is danger.
Su Yixin was woken up from a dream by Luo Wuwu, and was stunned for a moment.
Then he sat up in shock.
Then he saw that the room was full of green snakes.
It's so dense that you can't get off your feet.
The snake was the thickness of a thumb, about three feet long, and its eyes were red like blood, and it crawled towards their bed with a snake hyacinth.
"Woo woo woo ......"
This snake is not normal, a normal snake, the suppression of the level is engraved in the blood and bones, there are nine-tailed spirit foxes here, they will climb as far as they want.
How could it be so unfatal.
Su Yixin put on a coat, dressed Gu Qingming with her hands and feet, and held her in her arms.
"The snake is under control."
I don't know what's going on next door.
The situation on Gu Qingjue's side is not as optimistic as Su Yixin's, and the green snake has already crawled to the side of the bed.
