Under the wanton expansion of land, the landless tenant farmers could not support themselves, so they could only sell their children.

Compared with men, women are obviously more cost-effective, when they first buy only a dozen yuan, please ask Mr. to teach piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the cost is only one or two hundred taels, but it can be sold for more than 1,000 taels to dignitaries.

It's just that the folk customs in various places are different, and gradually formed Datong aunt, Taishan sister-in-law, Yangzhou thin horse, Hangzhou boat girl, which does not refer to the characteristics of the four places, but the four major schools of the industry.

Yangzhou graceful, Datong bold, at the foot of Mount Tai is naturally the Buddhist Taoist scriptures full of Zen, as for the boat mother, the focus is not on the mother and the boat, each has its own exquisiteness, thousands of years, in fact, there are not many changes.

When Ning Jue opened his eyes, it was already early the next morning.

There was only one thought in Ning Jue's heart.

It's over, I'm not clean.

I can't even see what he looks like!

Just when Ning Jue was lying on the couch and lost his mind, a delicate voice sounded on the side.

"The official is awake?"

Ning Jue looked for prestige, and then saw the little girl, who looked like a teenager, with cherry lips and a nose, willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, fair skin, standing aside and looking at herself.

Ning Jue's original sad mood calmed down a little.

It's not that unclean.

"What's your name?"

"The cheap concubine Gu Qinglane, the official is blessed."

Ning Jue was about to get up, but Gu Qinglang hurriedly stepped forward to help, and he was still whispering in his mouth: "The official's back was seriously injured, which was caused by the blood of the noon gate, and the total of seven arrow wounds and knife wounds were caused by the imperial captives outside the Guan. ”

"Qinglang has separated the herbs for the officials, and I hope that the officials will not be lazy, and they will be applied in ten months."

This is the first time Ning Jue has been served and dressed.

That Gu Qinglang didn't have anything to say, but stepped forward and carefully put away the bed sheet with a touch of red, and then followed Ning Jue out of the small courtyard with the pipa.

Ning Jue even suspected that this girl was arranged by Zhu Xizhong.

Just after Ning Jue walked out of the courtyard, Zhu Xizhong and Xu Pengju, who were not far away, also walked out of the room by holding on to the wall.

As soon as he saw Ning Jue and Gu Qinglang behind him, Zhu Xizhong's face immediately showed a wicked smile.

"Brother Xian, did you sleep well last night? That's it, there are guests in the front hall, brother Xian, hurry up and follow me, and I want to see you by name. ”

As soon as the words fell, Ning Jue's face sank.

This is really arranged by Zhu Xizhong!

After a while, when he followed Zhu Xizhong to the front hall and saw the slightly obscene Gu Kexue sitting in the hall, Ning Jue's heart relaxed slightly.

Seeing the visitor, Gu Kexue got up on his own.

"This is Ning Ke Zhong Ning Xian, the old man has been looking up for a long time."

"Gu Butang, it's really a good means."

Before Zhu Xizhong could speak, Gu Qinglong, who was originally following Ning Jue, was already standing behind Gu Kexue.

Sensing that Ning Jue's tone was not good, Gu Kexue's face sank.

"You must have been poor last night! Why is he still so angry in the morning?! ”

Gu Qinglang didn't defend himself, but just knelt on the ground holding the pipa.

Zhu Xizhong looked at Ning Jue dumbfounded.

"Brother Xian, isn't this girl looking for?"

"Are you blind?" Ning Jue gritted his teeth and whispered.

"Brother Xian, I blame me for drinking and making a mistake."

After that, Zhu Xizhong took the lead and stopped in front of Ning Jue.

"Gu Butang, you can make a price, I, Zhu Xizhong, have nothing to say."

Gu Kexue waved his hand.

"I don't have to become a duke, I don't notice it for a while, and if I neglect it, I'm at fault."

Gu Kexue glanced outside.

Two pious women walked into the hall.

"Master, to stay or not to stay?"

"Nonsense, I don't want to stay."

Although Gu Qing, who was held up by the pious woman, had unwillingness on his face, he didn't even dare to look at Ning Jue from beginning to end.

Zhu Xizhong was staring at Gu Kexue.

"Those who do other things and those who don't stay don't bother the department, so let's leave people first."

Don't look at Zhu Xizhong, who doesn't know much about things in the court.

But for this kind of thing, I can't understand it anymore, knowing that this will be useless for Gu Kexue to say anything, the most important thing is to leave this Gu Qing behind.

Obviously, Zhu Xizhong has been so manipulated in Beijing before.

"What is Cheng Gong talking about, if you don't worry, you can follow the pious woman to take a look, serve this cheap maid's body is refreshing, and I will bring people back again, why not spend the money."

"You...... What does it mean, stay. ”

Ning Jue looked at Zhu Xizhong in confusion, and Zhu Xizhong reminded in a low voice on the side: "What can you keep, naturally it is a seed, don't worry about it, Brother Xian, this person will never let him take it away today." ”

Listening to Zhu Xizhong's explanation, Ning Jue realized that these two pious women were responsible for using physical means to get the "seeds" out.

Zhu Xizhong glanced at the attendant beside him.

After a while, a group of soldiers directly surrounded the hall.

Gu Kexue was not too surprised.

"If Cheng Gong is forced to stay, the old man has no power to restrain the chicken, so he can only obey his fate."

In Gu Kexue's eyes, what was in front of Ning Jue was nothing more than three choices.

Let Gu Qing leave, this species, where can two pious women go clean, and in the future, a big fat boy will pop up and hug Ning Jue's thigh and shout "Dad", do you recognize it or not?

Forced to stay Gu Qinglong, Gu Kexue turned his head to get a book, and it can be said that this Gu Qinglang was robbed by Ning Jueqiang last night, and this Gu Qinglang is a maidservant, and when he is sparse, then he can't tell what the relationship is.

It can be a concubine or a righteous daughter, all of which are taught by Gu Ke.

There is a world of difference between robbing a people's girl and robbing a righteous woman who robs the Ministry of Rites, and Ning Jue and Zhu Xizhong can't tell clearly even if they are full of mouths.

Leave Gu Qing behind, this is the thief ship that Gu Kexue has learned, this is a living person, not a mansion that can't speak, and he can directly present evidence in court when he speaks in the future.

Gu Kexue stood in place with a smile on his face, but Ning Jue did not hesitate at all, and said to himself: "Qing Lang girl, stay." ”

Such a good undercover agent, where can I find it?!

As soon as Ning Jue's words fell, Gu Kexue's eyes lit up.

"Good! Good! In the end, it was really simple! ”

"Gu Butang doesn't offer a price?"

"I can't do it, I can't do it, ten years ago, the old husband and young daughter died, when I took office in Nandu, I saw Qing Lane selling her body and burying my mother next to the official road, and I bought it with pity.

Gu Kexue's old face changed, and this Gu Qinglang changed from a "cheap maid" to a "beloved daughter".

In the end, Gu Kexue pretended to tell Gu Qing a few words before getting up and leaving.

As soon as Gu Kexue came out of the Chengguo Mansion, Zhu Xizhong, who was standing behind Ning Jue without saying a word, turned pale and pulled out the Yanling knife from the knife holder behind him.

"Brother Xian, this aunt can't stay, I don't notice this matter, I can't affect you, I will bear this matter."

The murderous intent in Zhu Xizhong's eyes grew stronger.

Xu Pengju, who was standing on the side, believed Zhu Xizhong's words that he had really gone into battle to kill the enemy.

Zhu Xizhong in his impression is not a master who wants to kill people if he disagrees.

Gu Qinglang still stood in place and stared at Ning Jue, as if he hadn't heard Zhu Xizhong's words.

"Stop!"

Not only Xu Pengju, but Ning Jue was also frightened.

Can't stay, can't stay, you killed someone directly, and you went undercover for her to be an undercover agent for the Gu family?!

"I'll talk to Miss Clearie for a while."

Without waiting for Zhu Xizhong to speak, Xu Pengju hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Zhu Xizhong when he heard this.

"Zhenqing, put the knife away, look at what you are like now, you are so lenient about the affairs of the young couple."

At first, Zhu Xizhong refused to move, but Xu Peng pulled Zhu Xizhong away.

Only Ning Jue and Gu Qinglang were left in the hall.

"Mess girl."

Ning Jue stepped forward to take a look, only to find that Gu Qing's whole body was trembling slightly, and his forehead was already covered with beads of sweat.

"Official...... Officials, it's troublesome for officials. ”

Ning Jue pondered for a long time before he spoke: "I impeached him Gu Kexue and forced Liang to be a prostitute, are you willing to make a confession?" ”

Gu Qinglang hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "Qinglang is unwilling." ”

"Why?"

"The grace of nurturing, no matter how clear it is, is not a good family."

Ning Jue looked at Gu Qinglang with some doubts.

"Is that old thing telling the truth?"

"No, there was indeed a daughter in the ministry who died at the age of five, and Qinglang was indeed bought by the ministry at that time, and it was indeed raised in the Gu family for ten years."

"So what's fake?"

"The ministry bought ten of us at a time."

Ning Jue was speechless for a while.

Skinny horses are different from skinny horses, and it is not difficult to see that Gu Qinglang is even better off in the Gu family than ordinary people.

It's just that all the gifts of the Gu family have been marked with a price code from the beginning.

"You're being sincere."

"I don't want to deceive officials."

Ning Jue couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and then continued: "Don't want to lie to me? Then what did he Gu Kexue do when he sent you to me? ”

"Teach Qing to pay attention to the movements of officials, and try to pull officials into the water or raise a son and a half daughter for officials."

There was a silence in the antechamber.

Ning Jue didn't expect Gu Qinglang to be true and sincere.

"Are you curious what I'm going to do now?"

Gu Qinglong's expression was still flat: "Qinglang is naturally curious." ”

"I'm going to go to his Gu Kexue hometown now to count the Gu family's acres."

Ning Jue waved his hand towards Gu Qinglang, "Go ahead." ”

"Where's the point?"

"Go and send a letter to Gu Ke."

Gu Qinglang shook his head and said, "Don't go." ”

Ning Jue was stunned when he heard this.

"You're going undercover, and you're not going to report it?"

"Because I've admired officials for a long time."

"Then he Gu Kexue still dares to send you?"

Gu Qinglang straightened up his chest with some pride, and said an answer that Ning Jue didn't expect to be killed.

"I spent money, and the person the pious woman picked for the master, the master knows very well."

"Where did you get the money?!"

"I gave the money from the sale of my body back then."

"Didn't you sell yourself to bury your father?"

Gu Qing's handsome face actually showed a touch of ruthlessness.

"How can a thin-skinned coffin be worthy of a deep hatred in the sea of blood? The money was reserved for vengeance. ”

Ning Jue immediately had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Who is your enemy......?"

"Qing is a native of Huizhou, my father is the Tao family's boatmaster on the sea, when he said that he would only work for five years, it was a reversal, my father refused, so he was thrown into the sea, my mother fled all the way to Nantong Prefecture with me, and was also intercepted and killed on the waterway...... If it weren't for the fact that he was still young, I am afraid that he would have been buried in the belly of the fish. ”

Speaking of this, Gu Qing smiled slyly: "Now that my man has stabbed the old thief, what is the amount of silver spent on ingots?" ”

TM is Tao Shixian again!

I've heard of peaches and plums all over the world.

Who has ever seen the enemy all over the world!

You Tao Shixian are really damned!

It's just that Ning Jue didn't notice it, looking at Ning Jue who was convinced, the two small dimples on Gu Qing's face became more and more obvious with a smile.

Sincerity is always nirvana.

It's just that sincerity is not necessarily true, and it is enough to listen to people who think it is true.
