"It's all settled?"

In the Red Fragrance Pavilion, Ling Yang looked at Gu Cheng who was placed on the bed and asked Gu Jiu.

"Not yet, Shi Xuyao is afraid that he is still waiting for me at the inn at this time. Sister, don't you go back tonight, as for him......" Gu Jiu looked at Gu Cheng and hesitated a little: "My suggestion is to avoid the limelight for the time being and try to go back to the village first." But if he had other ideas, he didn't have to force them. ”

"Good. What's wrong? Gu Jiu looked at Ling Yang, who was holding his wrist, and asked.

Hearing this, Ling Yang's eyes drooped, and his teeth lightly grinded the soft meat, as if he was trying his best to get entangled in something.

"Sister, I'm sorry to bother you, but I can't get out of it. Lu Qiuzhi's death directly upset the delicate balance before Cloud City, and now everyone is looking for an opportunity to try to encroach on the interests of others in order to expand their sphere of influence. And I happened to be the one who could get them started. ”

"Sister, if you find a suitable place and opportunity, I will send you out safely, I will do what I say!"

There seemed to be something flowing in Ling Yang's eyes, Gu Jiu couldn't understand what kind of emotion it was, and only heard her ask, "Then do you regret that you went to contact Lu Qiuzhi for a letter of recommendation?" Do you regret exposing his misdeeds? ”

"Sister, as you know, I can't see a kind-hearted and upright person end up in a miserable end."

Ling Yang looked at Gu Jiu, and suddenly recalled what happened when she was young, she had encountered countless injustices, and she had imagined that there would be a chivalrous man who would come out to administer justice for her, but no one had ever come out to save her and her sister.

"Go ahead, my troubles are solved."

Gu Jiu was stunned for a moment, and nodded a little ignorantly: "Then I'll go first." ”

"Hmm." The first thing that attracted me to meet you was your kindness, Gu Jiu, I like you with such a character, you always make me feel that if one day I encounter injustice again, you will stand up for me.

……

"I didn't expect to see Master Shi at this time, it's really a bit unexpected."

Gu Jiu pushed open the door and was a little surprised when he saw Shi Qiusheng, but after thinking about it, he felt reasonable.

"I just don't know what Master Shi came here for so much trouble tonight? With so many people, if you really start to move, I'm afraid you won't even be able to use your fists and feet. Gu Jiu looked around at the small room of about twenty square meters, and looked at the Shi family who was standing full, and said with a smile.

"Have you gone to see Xie Yunyan?" Shi Qiusheng replied unexpectedly.

"Hmm. I knew that Lord Shi liked it here, so I wouldn't be back tonight. ”

Hearing this, Shi Xuyao, who was already unaccustomed to Gu Gu for a long time, immediately opened his mouth to scold, but as soon as he said the word "you", he was interrupted by Shi Qiusheng raising his hand.

"Sir, I'm here tonight to thank you." Shi Qiusheng raised his hand to indicate the position opposite him, and the next moment, two family members stood at the door, blocking the opportunity for Gu Jiu to escape.

"Thanks for what?" Gu Jiu walked over and sat down.

"Thank you for discovering the secret passage of the painting boat by chance." Shi Qiusheng picked up the teapot and poured tea as he spoke, his tone was flat as if he was chattering, but if you pay attention to his eyes, you can easily see the resentment inside.

"Master Shi said with a smile, this painting boat was built by several families together, how could the Shi family, as one of them, not know the escape route of the painting boat."

Hearing this, Shi Qiusheng took the teacup with his hand, and his eyes were quite knife-like. Just when Gu Jiu thought that Shi Qiusheng was going to get angry, the other party turned around and mentioned another matter.

"Xie Yunyan has begged me for you."

Gu Jiu was startled, raised his head and looked at Shi Qiusheng in disbelief, as if he had heard a great absurdity; But Shi Qiusheng was very satisfied when he saw Gu Jiu's reaction.

"You and him are not in the right household, and if you want to get married, it will be difficult to reach the sky. But if you are my righteous daughter born in Shiqiu, it will be different, the Shi family and the Xie family already have a marriage contract, and now Xie Yunyan has made a marriage contract with you, and the elders of the Xie family can't say anything. ”

Shi Qiusheng raised his hand and motioned for Gu Jiu to wait for him to finish speaking.

"I thought that Xie Yunyan was looking for me in the hope that I would agree to accept you as a righteous daughter, but I didn't expect that I would take the initiative to go to Xie's house to discuss with my parents about abandoning the previous marriage contract."

"Gu Jiu, Xie Yunyan, that kid has a deep affection for you."

Shi Qiusheng sighed and said with emotion: "Yu Yan is gone, although I hope that the Shi family can have another child to satisfy the regrets at that time, but the matter between you young people is not something that our older generation can forcibly mix, and the matter of the agreement has been revealed." ”

"If you regret it in the future, it's okay to come back to Shi's house."

Listening to Shi Qiusheng's self-directed and self-acting words, Gu Jiu didn't know for a while whether to praise him for his superb acting. If it weren't for the collusion between her and Shao Baisi, I'm afraid I would really feel it

"Master Shi, I think you have misunderstood something, I already have someone I like."

Hearing this, Qiu Shang smiled meaningfully, and didn't seem to believe it.

"Girls are thin-skinned, I still know that. Well, it's almost time, and it's time for me to leave. ”

While speaking, Shi Qiusheng had already stood up, and looked at the people who were about to leave, Gu Jiu couldn't figure out Shi Qiusheng's attitude for a while. Bringing so many people here just to say these two innocuous words? Or is there a place where he is about to use himself, and he will say something nice to stabilize her first?

"Master Shi, what does the Xie family look like?" When Shi Qiusheng was about to leave, Gu Jiu asked out loud.

Since Shi Qiusheng was facing away from Gu Jiu at this moment, Gu Jiu didn't see the smile on the corner of Shi Qiusheng's mouth when she asked to speak, the kind of smile that he thought he knew all about.

"There are many rules, and I have heard that there are more than 2,000 house rules." While speaking, Shi Qiusheng looked back at Gu Jiu, with pretended pity in his eyes: "The Xie family has been looking for you a lot in the past two days!" The Xie family has strict rules, and the screening of future daughters-in-law is even more careful, you are too different from him, even if he is the most favored child of the Xie family, the elders of the clan will not let him mess around like this. ”

Gu Jiu blinked when he heard this, but did not speak. Shi Qiusheng didn't say anything more, turned around and left with someone.

"Gone?"

Shao Bai Si came in and asked incredulously, "What did you tell him?" According to the previous guess, Shi Qiusheng will definitely not give up, he has thought of the wording, but the person left directly?

"He didn't say anything, he suddenly wanted to open it himself." Gu Jiu paused, and suddenly thought of the fact that the magistrate had been replaced, and asked, "He can't have discovered something, right?" ”

Shao Baisi knew what Gu Jiu was referring to, and shook his head: "Impossible, he doesn't have this ability, it's impossible to tell it so quickly." "Don't talk about Shi Qiusheng, even he can't separate the two immediately.

Gu Jiu nodded, and the next second, his eyes fell directly on Shao Baisi, and he asked out loud, "What is the relationship between you and the Xie family?" ”

Shao Baisi was stunned, and looked at Gu Jiu's inquiring gaze, and his eyes were a little more vigilant: "Isn't this relationship obvious?" ”

"Shi Qiusheng told me that the rules of the Xie family are cumbersome, and it is impossible to agree to the marriage contract, and the elders of the Xie family will definitely come to me every once in a while. Xie Yunyan, too many people want me to be a springboard, I need to know the truth. ”

When the words fell, there was a long silence.

"I am kind to the Xie family."

"You're from the same place as Zhixian?" Gu Jiu asked in an almost affirmative tone.

"Yes."

"You don't look like you're belittled?"

"Hmm. I faked my death and escaped. Shao Baisi's eyes were a little empty, as if he was reminiscing about something. After a while, he said: "Gu Jiu, I need a large amount of silver taels, this amount is extremely large, and it is far from what the Xie family can provide." ”

Hearing this, Gu Jiu was indifferent, and Shao Baisi continued: "More than thirty years ago, a plague broke out here, starving everywhere, and the city was almost wiped out. Fortunately, at the critical moment of survival, a woman who was proficient in medical skills came here, and Cloud City has been able to exist to this day. ”

Gu Jiu nodded to indicate that he knew: "Sister told me that tonight's event is to remember this matter. ”

"Then do you know what happened to the doctor who saved the entire Cloud City?"

Hearing this, Gu Jiu shook his head, Ling Yang didn't tell her this.

"Crazy."

The young man's thin lips opened lightly, and his cool eyes were colder than the moonlight: "She saved Yuncheng, but the people of Yuncheng stole her daughter." ”

She searched step by step, asking one by one, but no one cared where her daughter had gone, they were all busy with the aftermath of the catastrophe, busy starting a new life. Gu Jiu, the indifference of this city had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people as early as thirty years ago. ”

There was obvious mockery in Shao Baisi's eyes as he spoke: "Do you think today's laughter is to celebrate her coming to Cloud City?" No, to celebrate her departure, to celebrate the day when an almost insane madman was taken away by her family. ”

"In their eyes, the lost child was self-inflicted, caused by her own sneaking into the carriage, and it has nothing to do with them if she loses it."

Hearing this, Gu Jiu nodded with mixed emotions. But what does this have to do with his lack of silver? Besides, Cloud City is not rich, and if you want to make money, you have to go to a good place!

"The man...... Is it your elders? ”

"It's yours."

In Gu Jiu's shocked gaze, Shao Baisi continued: "She is my grandmother's close friend, even to this day, she is a person who is talked about by my grandmother every day. Gu Jiu, I can be sure that your mother, Ye Qingyi, is the child who was lost back then. ”

"Evidence?"

"Her physique, her physique, which is invincible, is her third birthday."

Looking at Shao Baisi, Gu Jiu suddenly remembered the previous jade pendant. The things in Beijing, isn't that made up by Gu Wensheng? Could the loss have anything to do with them?

"You can ask your mother, she was five years old when she went missing, and she has some vague memories of it."

Gu Jiu nodded.

There are a lot of people in Cloud City, and there are more people in this world, and no one will be the only choice. If this reason is true, then Shao Baisi's interest in his sudden influx will be explained.

After going out, I walked through the corridor and went up one step to the room where Ye Qingyi lived.

Knock on the door.

Footsteps were heard from inside almost immediately, and the next second they stopped with restraint.

"Mother, it's me." Gu Jiu said loudly. Recently, there have been frequent incidents, in order to ensure safety and reduce unnecessary injuries, Ye Qingyi and Gu Jing have changed the location of their rooms.

As Gu Jiu's voice fell, the room opened from the inside in the next second.
