Gu Zhiqi was dressed in white, flicking a folding fan, and Jiao Erlang and a middle-aged man entered the Hongxiang Pavilion with ease.

The middle-aged man Gu Jiu is also very familiar, this person is the eldest uncle of the original owner, Gu Wensheng, Gu Zhiqi's father.

In the memory of the original owner, Gu Zhiqi would go to the city for a few days every month to learn from the talents in the city.

I thought it was to discuss knowledge, but I didn't expect it to be for fun.

Looking at the backs of the two, Gu Jiu suddenly hated itchy, the original owner's family was tired and desperate to earn two more copper plates, trying to make the family's life better, but they used the money to have fun?

"Hurry up, let's go, don't get in the way of our business."

Seeing that Gu Jiu had been staring inside, a woman wearing red tulle came over and flicked her sleeves at Gu Jiu.

"Why is my sister here?" Gu Jiu stretched out his hand and grabbed the red yarn and asked rhetorically.

"I've heard my aunt say that the woman who comes here can save money to redeem herself. Is my sister going to save enough? I can save some for my sister. ”

The woman in red was stunned for a moment, and pulled back her clothes vigorously: "The little guy knows a lot, but this is not the place for you to come, if you are seen by the bustard mother crying for a while, don't blame me for not reminding you." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and was about to return to his previous position, but the next second he paused because of Gu Jiu's words.

"Sister, won't you fight once?"

It was at this time that the bustard came out to inspect and noticed the situation here.

"Hongge, what are you doing there? Still not welcoming guests?"

The old bustard wore heavy makeup, had a straight face, and walked over in great strides, but when he saw Gu Jiu, he instantly smiled, as if he had seen a cash cow.

"Yo, look at this face, it's a first-class beauty with some powder!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his blue dye nails to touch Gu Jiu, who dodged sideways and quickly ran behind Hongge.

The old bustard withdrew his hand and looked at Hongge with a look that was the same: "Hongge, this is your dumb sister, right?" I didn't expect it, I haven't seen it for a few years, and I look more and more marked. ”

"It's also to blame the bustard mother that I'm gone, I think I should have taken you two sisters together!"

"Little sister, do you want to be with your sister every day? Mother bustards have endless delicious food here! ”

Gu Jiu: ...... Do you think I'm like a fool?

Hongge frowned, pushed Gu Jiu back and said, "Mother Bustard, my sister just came to see me, and the family has already told her about her family." ”

"You can't talk so much, maybe your sister wants to stay here! Little girl, I haven't been in! Come, Mother Bustard will take you inside! ”

Saying that the old bustard was about to come up to lead the people, Hongge saw this and hurriedly turned around and pushed Gu Jiu: "Hurry back!" ”

Gu Jiu looked at the old bustard, took out twenty copper plates from his arms and handed them over.

"Yo rich!"

The old bustard happily took the copper plate in Gu Jiu's hand.

"You're saying you're going to talk to your sister for a while?" The old bustard looked at Gu Jiu's gesture and said.

Gu Jiu nodded.

"Say it earlier, bustard mother, I'm not that unreasonable, give you half a stick of incense time to catch up, but only here, can't leave!"

Gu Jiu nodded, and after bending down to thank him, the old bustard left with the copper plate and satisfied.

As soon as the others left, Hongge couldn't help but raise his hand and gave Gu Jiu the back of his head: "Are you stupid?" ”

Gu Jiu shook his head, looked around, lowered his voice and said, "Sister, do you remember the two people who just entered?" ”

"One is nineteen years old, dressed in white, with a folding fan in hand, and the other is in his forties, dressed in brown."

Hongge thought for a moment and nodded: "That's Gu Gongzi." ”

"That's my cousin Gu Zhiqi and my eldest uncle Gu Wensheng, who cheated the family out of money to have fun under the guise of studying. Sister, they are from Gujia Village, they are all children, vain and good-looking, you can use this information to blackmail them, so that you will have the money to come out. ”

Hong Ge was stunned, and looked at Gu Jiu with complicated eyes: "Why are you helping me?" The other party is your cousin. ”

Gu Jiu was silent for a moment, lowered his head and took out the hairpin: "My ...... My sister died here. ”

Seeing the hairpin, Hongge trembled, it was her hairpin, the hairpin she quietly gave to the girl yesterday.

Hongge took a deep breath and slowly exhaled: "You come back tomorrow at this time!" ”

After saying that, he resolutely turned around and left, as if he had made some kind of decision.

Entering the house, Hongge found Gu Zhiqi with a clear goal.

Honggeyuan also has a family, although it is not very rich, but the life of the girl in the city is always better than that in the village below.

But there were unforeseen circumstances, and her father died.

She is the eldest daughter and has no brother, and her uncle and sister-in-law quickly hit the idea of their third mother. Her mother was forced to remarry, and she and her six-year-old sister were sold to the Red Fragrance Pavilion.

Over the years, she has been trying to save money and wants to go out to find her sister, but the bustard's commission is too much, and it is difficult for her to save money.

Although he was only half a penny when he was sold, he could redeem himself for ten taels of silver.

Time passed year by year, and she was slowly worn off the edges and corners. But yesterday's girl's determination made her dead heart beat again.

She took the risk to help the girl, and she helped herself.

There are still three taels left, as long as those two people can take out three taels, she can get out of here!

After the people left, Gu Jiu went to change some copper plates and found a cheap inn to live in.

Tomorrow she plans to go around the city, she can't survive by selling silkworm cocoons all year round, besides, she can't pick every stubble of silkworm cocoons, she has to leave enough time for silkworms to multiply.

The next day, Gu Jiu walked slowly around the city, opening a shop to buy and sell these things were not suitable for her, these things were too costly.

Suddenly, Gu Jiu saw the booklet on the stall, stepped forward and glanced at it, it turned out to be a traditional script.

"Girl, do you want to buy this? Many ladies love to watch this! ”

"A lot like to watch this?" Gu Jiu picked up the book and asked uncertainly.

"Yes, this one sells very well, twenty copper plates a volume."

Twenty! Gu Jiu opened the booklet and glanced at it again, isn't this the story of the poor scholar and the rich lady? It's so short! A thousand words is twenty copper plates!

"Girl, do you want it, we can't watch it for free here!" As he spoke, the stall owner reached for the booklet.

Gu Jiu hurriedly put down the things, took out two more copper plates and handed them over: "I'm sorry." My younger brother also writes this, and I want to ask, where can I make this booklet? ”

The stall owner looked at the copper plate, put it in his arms, and pointed to the bookstore not far away: "I don't know about this, everything is from the shopkeeper." You can ask in a few days. ”

"Not now?"

"The shopkeeper went out yesterday, and according to the convention, he can't come back in three or five days."

"Okay, thank you."

Xu is family road is narrow, and Gu Jiu saw Gu Zhiqi outside the teahouse again.

Compared with last night, Gu Zhiqi looked like a frosted eggplant, so sad that his face was expressionless.

"Brother Qi, why are you here? Everyone has arrived, and they are waiting for you. Come on. ”

A man in black and green clothes came out of the teahouse and greeted Gu Zhiqi warmly. But the latter stood in place and waved at him: "I didn't rest well last night, so I won't get together today, I'll go back and rest first, just call me when you leave." ”

"Huh? It's okay, Brother Qi, you slow down on the road. ”

Gu Jiu quietly followed Gu Zhiqi all the way, and finally found that he came to an alley and entered the innermost door.

Gu Jiu stopped and waited outside the alley. After a long time, a little girl of seven or eight years old came out of one of the doors.

"Little sister, do you want to eat sweet potatoes?"

Gu Jiuma stepped forward and took out the last sweet potato.

"Yes."

"Then who did you tell my sister to live in the innermost house? You tell your sister, and she will give you the sweet potato. As he spoke, Gu Jiu broke off a small piece and handed it to the little girl.

After eating the sweet potato, the little girl was obviously a lot closer to Gu Jiu: "My mother said that the family inside is a bad person." ”

"Bad guys?"

"Yes, my mother said that they robbed someone else's house. Sister, don't tell others, my mother won't let me talk nonsense. ”

"Okay, it's all yours."

After remembering the location, Gu Jiu left.

No wonder Gu Wensheng can not go home all year round, and the co-author has already found a place to live.

Time passed in a flash, and soon it was evening, Gu Jiu came to the Red Fragrance Pavilion on time as agreed, only this time he did not show directly in the open, but carefully observed it in the dark for a while.

There were no anomalies, no irrelevant people, only Hongge stood there quietly.

Compared with last night, Hongge seems to be in a much better mental state, and he has also changed his clothes, no longer wearing a red shirt, but a set of decent civilian women's clothes.

Gu Jiu walked over and waved at her, who carried the burden and pulled her out of the Red Fragrance Pavilion.

"Open it and take a look."

After entering an inn, he asked for a room, and after entering the room, Hongge closed the door and took out a carefully wrapped handkerchief from his baggage.

Gu Jiu was surprised, and after opening it, the system that had been "dead" for many days in his mind suddenly came to life.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the test. Now release the stage task, please earn enough 1,000 taels of gold within three years, if you don't complete it, the system will wipe out your consciousness. ”

Gu Jiu: ...... Other people's systems are all golden fingers, and when it's my turn, I'll become a talisman?

Gu Jiu: "Your use is to end me at any time?" Then I'm so unlucky that I actually put you on the shelf, and I'm useless! ”

System: "...... Now the host is randomly given one hundred taels of silver, twenty square meters of system space, which can store all things. In addition, the host can use the earned money to make equivalent transactions with the system. ”

Gu Jiu: "What is the transaction?"

System: "Secret." However, due to the host's inappropriate remarks, the system decided to withhold one of the rewards, and now one hundred taels of silver has been deducted. ”

Gu Jiu: ...... I seriously suspect that you never wanted to give it to me in the first place.

Gu Jiu looked at the ten taels of silver and asked uncertainly, "This is my reward for providing information?"

"Yes. Those two people are quite rich, a total of fifteen taels, I kept two taels for myself, and the rest are here. Hongge sat down and picked up the teapot and poured herself a cup of tea.

She always wanted to find her sister when she didn't come out, but she really came out, but she didn't know where to go.
