"Second Uncle can't do it?" Gu Jiu asked.

Gu Youcai opened his mouth and did not speak. After a while, Gu Youcai raised his head and asked, "Xiao Jiu, is there anything simpler, it's not easy to get silver!" ”

"Simpler?"

"Yes, yes, preferably it doesn't have much to do with silver. You also know that the second uncle has not been a person who can earn money since he was a child, otherwise he would not have eaten a good meal for so many years. ”

Hearing this, Gu Jiu thought about it for a while.

"Then you can help me monitor the uncle and grandfather, I hate them more than the second uncle."

"Good, good! This is good! This second uncle is definitely better than anyone else! Hearing this condition, Gu Youcai was so excited that he couldn't wait to jump up and celebrate.

Seeing this, Gu Jiu beckoned the driver to stop the car.

"Second uncle, you should know if I will go back to the village, if I find out that you ......"

"Absolutely not!" Gu Youcai raised his head and looked at Gu Jiu with a firm look as if he wanted to join the party: "If the second uncle knows ten things, don't say less, he just didn't say the details, so that Xiao Jiu didn't understand, then it would be thunderstorming!" Come to a sticky end! ”

"Since this is the case, then I will believe in the second uncle once." As he spoke, Gu Jiu flashed out his dagger and stretched it out towards Gu Youcai. Seeing the dagger, even if he knew that it was meant to cut the rope, Gu Youcai was still frightened.

"Second Uncle, if you know any important news, immediately come to the 'Jiuyang Bookstore' in Cloud City and tell me, of course, if you think I will be unhappy about what they have done, then I will look forward to the second uncle getting in the way."

"I understand, I understand! Erbo can definitely satisfy you. After losing his restraints, Gu Youcai raised his hand and guaranteed.

"Well, you can go."

As soon as the words fell, Gu Youcai had already jumped out of the car and started running back, for fear that he would be caught back in the next second.

"Aren't you afraid he'll lie?" After Gu Youcai left, Shao Baisi asked.

"Him?" Gu Jiu looked at Gu Youcai, who fell because he ran too quickly, and asked a little funny: "Do you think he has that backbone?" My second uncle is a very bad person in his heart and bones, but he is less courageous than anyone else, and his vanity is stronger than anyone else. ”

"If you let him take risks, you must give him a detailed explanation of the future and the way out, otherwise he will not take risks."

Shao Baiji nodded, indicating that he knew.

After a lot of twists and turns, it was already completely dark.

"Miss Jiu!"

The first floor of the inn where Gu Jiu stayed was a place to eat, and it was a long time at night, and according to the usual time, there was no one on the first floor except for Xiao Er, who was the doorkeeper. So when Gu Jiu entered the door and heard someone calling her, he was extremely shocked.

"Shi Gongzi? Is there something going on at this late? ”

The person who came was Shi Yushu, wearing a thin green shirt, coupled with a slightly pale complexion, the whole person looked like a gem that would shatter if he was knocked lightly.

"Yes, Miss Jiu, I have something very important to tell you."

Outside the door, Shao Baisi, who was going to go back after sending Gu Jiu off, saw Gu Jiu still standing at the door through the window. Strange, who did you meet?

"Stop."

"Yes, young master."

In the inn, Shi Yushu took out a wooden box in Gu Jiu's surprised gaze, and when it was opened, it was a flute. Shi Yushu held the flute and sent it to Gu Jiu.

"Miss Jiu, the first time I saw you, I thought you were playing the flute very beautifully. This is a flute I made with my own hands, although I tried my best to polish it, but it is still a little rough, I hope the girl will not dislike it. ”

Gu Jiu was stunned: "Have you ever seen me play the flute?" ”

"Hmmm! Beautiful! ”

Looking at the flute in Shi Yushu's hand, Gu Jiu laughed, after coming here, she rarely showed a real smile to people, but now this time she laughed from the bottom of her heart.

"I've only played the flute once in Cloud City, so it seems that I do have some fate with Shi Gongzi."

"My pleasure."

What does a piece of jade that shatters when you touch it look like when you laugh? It's very broken.

"But the girl's flute sound was very bitter that time, and Yushu hopes that the girl's wish will come true in the future."

"I want to, too."

"Wait a minute!"

When Gu Jiu's hand just touched the box, Shao Baisi walked over quickly, took the flute first, and buckled the box.

"The Xie family has a lot of good flutes, if you like it, I can give it anything."

Gu didn't speak for a long time, and Shi Yushu said goodbye with great interest.

"It's not early, Miss Jiu should rest early."

After Shi Yushu left, Shaobaisi opened the box and took out the flute inside, and commented: "Rough, this is not to prick your mouth." You...... What are you doing? Shao Baisi watched in surprise as Gu Jiu took the box and flute, and put it firmly in his hand after returning to his position.

"Gu Jiu, are you confused? Don't you understand why he gave you a flute? Do you know what a beauty trick is, this is a beauty trick! ”

"yes, I know."

"Know you still have it? You are giving the Shi family a chance, and in the future, Shi Yushu will inevitably appear in front of you several times, which is not good for us! Shao Baisi looked at Gu Jiu with an extremely unbelievable look, was this really the Gu Jiu he knew? Shouldn't she be self-interested?

"Shaobaisi, I've only played the flute once."

"So what?"

"It's nothing, it's not early, you should go back."

Gu Jiu didn't want to explain anymore, and she didn't even want to recall that she had only played the flute once since she came to this world, and it was after that sister died. It was the first time she had faced the death of her life, or the death that had been associated with her.

She didn't know what to do that night, there would be lamentations after death in the world before her, so she bought a flute, a flute of great cheapness—a flute that she had played and buried in the river.

She thought that no one would remember that day, just like the woman who was forgotten by everyone. It's like a small ripple in the ocean, which doesn't even qualify to be seen. But someone saw it and remembered that day.

"Gu Jiu! Do you know what you're doing? Your behavior ......"

"I know. Shaobaiji, I know exactly what I'm doing, don't worry, I will definitely not affect you. ”

"But there are so many flutes in the world, why do you have to accept him? You know that now the home is in the dark, and we are in the light. We need to be careful in everything. ”

Gu Jiu didn't speak, lowered his head and opened the box, staring at the flute inside without blinking.

The pale cyan one was much better than the one she had bought that day.

"You're right." After a while, Gu Jiu breathed a long sigh of relief, and the box snapped suddenly, and stuffed it to Shao Baisi: "There are more flutes in the world." "But the flute I gave her is already buried in the river, and it is unique, and there is no need to keep another one.

The sound of the door closing, Shao Baisi looked at the flute in his hand, went out, and got into the carriage. Halfway through, just about to throw it away from the window, I suddenly realized something.

I've only played the flute once.

Was he in such a hurry that he was ignoring something? Why is it only blown once? What did Shi Yushu say to her that gave her the idea of accepting the flute.

It's bitter...... Shi Yushu seemed to have said this word.

After a few hesitations, Shaobaisi finally left the flute.

The next day, Gu Jiu went to find Gu Cheng first.

"I thought you'd go back?" Gu Jiu found Gu Cheng in another inn, and the two sat facing each other, and Gu Jiu told him about his return to the village yesterday.

"Going back is an escape, and I don't want to run away."

Gu Cheng's tone was calm from beginning to end, just like him, quiet and indifferent.

"If my guess is correct, this matter is the ghost of the Shi family. Whatever the reason, I'm going to have to figure it out, and I think it's something I've had to learn. ”

Gu Jiu nodded: "Do you have any way now?" ”

Gu Cheng nodded, got up and hugged a stack of books from the side: "I heard about Gu Zhiqi." And he has been removed from the academy. ”

"What do you mean?"

It means that if he is removed from the academy, then a place will be vacated. The learning of Tongsheng and Xiucai is separated, and so are the places. I contacted a gentleman over there, and he promised me that as long as I could pass his test at the end of next month and meet Xiucai's standards, he made an exception and asked me to jump to Xiucai's side to study with him. ”

Gu Jiu nodded: "I was still thinking about what you were going to do, but now it seems that my worries are completely unnecessary." Is your silver two enough? If it's not enough, I can lend you relief. ”

Hearing this, Gu Cheng smiled and took away the first book of the stack, revealing the booklet inside.

"You see, I've got a job for myself. When you are tired of reading, you copy the booklet, and when you feel that you have enough rest, you continue to endorse the book. ”

Looking at the booklet, Gu Jiu couldn't find the right words to praise for a while.

"You must be able to, Brother Cheng, I suddenly feel that you will be able to achieve all your ambitions in the future."

"I hope to lend you good words! It's Xiao Jing, has he thought of a way now? Gu Cheng asked rhetorically.

Gu Jiu shook his head: "I've been too busy in the past two days, and I haven't had time to figure out a way." But he's much worse than you, and he's not so motivated at all, so he's not in a hurry than me. ”

Gu Jiu's voice fell, and Gu Cheng's expression became serious: "Xiao Jiu, I wanted to tell you about this before, Xiao Jing's current behavior is a little abnormal. ”

"There's a reason?"

"That's right! He is still too young, there is no way to fully understand many things and truths, and there is no way to fully extract the thoughts of Mr., in other words, Xiao Jing is still too pure, and it is easy to become the character of the Mr. who taught him. When I was in college, I tried to guide him, and it turned out that he was more willing to trust him than I said. ”

Gu Cheng sighed: "I don't know how to guide him, and I haven't been able to think of a suitable solution after thinking about it for a long time." Therefore, I want to take this opportunity to find a gentleman with excellent character to teach Xiao Jing alone. ”

Gu Jiu nodded: "This is a solution." I'll wait until I get back and think about how to do it. ”

"Okay."

……

Why do you believe in Mr.'s words more than others? The first thing people believe is the people close to them!

Back at the inn, Gu Jiu directly found Ye Qingyi.

Ye Qingyi is a close person to Gu Jing, a person who can be relied on and even completely trusted, so her remarks when accompanying Gu Jing to the academy must have had a significant impact.

"I didn't say anything, I just asked him to listen to Mr. and not make trouble." Ye Qingyi returned.

"Why does the academy think you will accompany Xiao Jing to study? Like Gu Cheng, there is no need for it at all. ”

"Because Xiao Jing is small."

"That's right, it's because he's young." Gu Jiu sat down in front of Ye Qingyi and said solemnly: "So when his temperament and values are cultivated, you can't let him completely listen to Mr. Gentlemen are also human beings, not gods, and they will make mistakes and shortcomings. ”

Ye Qing was stunned one by one, and hesitated: "But don't those gentlemen need to know more?" Xiao Jing didn't have much to learn from them. ”

"Lu Qiuzhi is also a gentleman, but he likes to abuse young girls, do you want Xiaojing to be like this?"

Ye Qing was speechless for a while and did not speak.

"It is true that we do not sit down with Mr. in terms of knowledge, but we are not necessarily worse than anyone else in terms of human beings."

Ye Qingyi nodded slowly after a long time, his eyes were a little empty, as if he was recalling the past and seeing what point he was wrong at.
