Chapter 199: Unexpected News
Gu Xiu and they were drinking spirit wine and tasting food comfortably in the Jade Dining Building, but Zhu Ting, who returned to Lijin Hall, beat the drum in her heart.
As soon as he entered the Lijin Hall, he was called in by Zhang Yuerong.
Zhang ...... Uncle Zhang?" Zhu Ting didn't dare to look at Zhang Yuerong's cold face, "The matter is ...... Things went wrong. ”
finally said the words, but she never heard Zhang Yuerong's voice, and Zhu Ting couldn't help but look up at her.
Zhang Yuerong was looking at her, her eyes were very calm, as if she was ...... Look into the eyes of a dead man.
Zhu Ting was excited, and she immediately thought of Gu Xiu's reminder when she was leaving.
"One hundred thousand gold beads, how are you going to pay it back?" Zhang Yuerong asked, no emotion could be heard in his voice.
"I ...... I don't have gold beads. Zhu Ting replied almost in fear.
"But you wrote the IOU. Zhang Yuerong said calmly again.
Zhu Ting knelt down, "Ask Uncle Zhang to help me, Gu Xiu said, if I don't give the 100,000 gold beads, she will go to the Torture Hall to sue me, Uncle Zhang, you know the methods of the Torture Hall, I can't go in, once I go in, I don't say anything, but it's not up to me to call the shots." ”
"Are you threatening me?" Zhang Yuerong's voice became colder.
Zhu Ting immediately shook her head, "No, I don't dare, what I'm saying is from the bottom of my heart, Uncle Zhang, with the means of the Torture Hall, I ...... I'm going to not be able to stand it. ”
Zhang Yuerong naturally knew that what Zhu Ting said was the truth, and she also knew that Zhu Ting couldn't take out the 100,000 gold beads, but let her take out the 100,000 gold beads, how could she be willing.
It's really hard to steal chickens and rice, Zhang Yuerong thought hatefully in her heart, Ban Nixue, who heard the news now, must be watching her jokes.
Zhu Ting really can't enter the Punishment Hall, because what Gu Xiu said in front of everyone in Wutong Courtyard, she can't do anything to Zhu Ting now, otherwise she will attract the attention of the Punishment Hall, and she will investigate it carefully, once she finds herself, she can't afford to kill her fellow disciples for no reason.
Zhu Ting looked at Zhang Yuerong with an angry and unwilling look, and she didn't understand in her heart that Zhang Yuerong didn't want to give out the 100,000 gold beads.
If Zhang Yue can't accommodate the 100,000 gold beads, it won't be himself who will be unlucky in the end.
Although she had never been to the Torture Hall, she was terrified just by the punishments she had heard of.
A figure flashed in Zhu Ting's mind.
Speaking of which, Uncle Zhang deliberately found trouble with Gu Xiu and used it as a breakthrough to deal with Ban Nixue, or because of a reminder from one person.
When they first talked about it, she was serving beside her.
That person mentioned Gu Xiu in front of Uncle Zhang at the beginning, although it seemed casual, but now that she thinks about it carefully, her words are full of scheming.
It's just that she can't figure it out, what kind of grudge she has with Gu Xiu, it is worth her to encourage Uncle Zhang to deal with Gu Xiu like this.
Gu Xiu is a garment maker, and now she is still famous, I heard that she also signed a contract with Linlang Pavilion, but even so, what does it have to do with her?
"What are you talking about? Didn't you hear me?"
was thinking about the connection between that person and Gu Xiu, Zhang Yuerong's angry voice sounded in his ears.
Zhu Ting was taken aback, she really didn't hear what Zhang Yuerong said just now.
But it's not a good thing to think about.
Zhu Ting gritted her teeth, and wanted to save herself, so she had to drag the man in.
"Uncle Zhang, I thought that one person could give out these 100,000 gold beads. ”
Zhang Yuerong glanced at Zhu Ting, "Who can give these 100,000 gold beads?"
"Senior Sister Huai. Zhu Ting said.
After having dinner with Xun Yan and Yu Chen, several people went back to the City Lord's Mansion together, and Gu Xiu went to the Communication Hall again.
The disciples of the Communication Hall already knew Gu Xiu, and when they saw Gu Xiu coming in, they hurriedly smiled and said, "Senior Sister Gu, it's really a coincidence that you came here today, and it just happened to have your letter." ”
Gu Xiu was overjoyed, "Really, where did you come from?"
"The Gu family in the South Gate Lane of Xianshui City. The disciple of the Communication Hall replied, flipped through the letter basket, took out a volume of jade slips, and handed it to Gu Xiu.
"This is it. ”
Gu Xiu hurriedly took it, the letter was written by Gu Xuan, and it began with some greetings, and expressed surprise and joy that Gu Xiu could be selected as a disciple of the City Lord's Mansion.
Then she talked about the situation at home, from Gu Huai Deng Fengxian to Gu Hua and Guang Haiying, they were all good, speaking of herself, a year after Gu Xiu and they left Xianshui City, Gu Xuan took the Transformation Pulse Pill and successfully built a divine vein, although it was only a low-grade divine vein, but looking at Gu Xuan's tone in the letter, she was obviously satisfied that she would no longer cultivate with the help of Transformation Pill in the future.
That's fine, Gu Xiu also breathed a sigh of relief, so that she only prepared a pill of Pulse Pill for Gu Shu.
Gu Xiu frowned, and Gu Xuan wrote at the end of the letter: "The third sister got married six years ago, and then left Xianshui City with her brother-in-law and returned to her mother-in-law's house. ”
This is the end of the letter.
Gu Xiu did not give up and flipped the jade slip again, except for this sentence, there was no mention of Gu Shu's marriage at all in other places, and there was no specific introduction to the third brother-in-law whose name Gu Xiu didn't even know.
How did Gu Shu get married?
I haven't heard Gu Shu say that she has a sweetheart before?
And judging from Gu Shu's past behavior, she doesn't seem to have the appearance of the person she likes.
Could it be that in just one year, Gu Shu met the person she was willing to marry?
It's not impossible, it's just ......
Gu Xiu looked at the few strokes at the end of the jade slip, and she always felt that things were not so simple.
If it is really a good family affair, why did Gu Xuan only bring it so little, and it was written at the end of the letter, as if it was written at the end, and he had to mention it, but he didn't want to mention it, so he had to deal with it like this.
Gu Xiu took the jade slip and walked to the inner city, but she was worried about Gu Shu in her heart, I hope she thought about it too much, maybe Gu Shu married very well, Gu Xuan just ignored it, so she didn't tell her the specific matters.
Gu Xiu thought as she walked, Gu Xuan originally said that she would be able to come back within a year, but now there are no two months left before the one-year period.
Since Gu Shu is no longer in Xianshui City, does she still need to prepare for the Transformation Pulse Pill? I don't know where Gu Shu's in-laws are? Maybe she has already obtained the Transformation Pulse Pill.
So this grain of Pulse Pill that I prepared myself...... Gu Xiu thought of Guang Haiying and shook her head, what she needed was the Rejuvenation Pill, not the Transformation Pulse Pill.
It's just that the Rejuvenation Pill is more rare than the Transformation Pulse Pill, even the Dantang in the inner city, I'm afraid it can't be bought, and to get the Rejuvenation Pill, you need not only financial resources, but also luck.
Gu Xiu quickly put this question behind her, and she was most concerned about Gu Shu.
"Eighth sister?"
A familiar voice came from behind him, and as soon as Gu Xiu turned around, he saw Gu Yue standing there with a smile.
"Eighth sister, is it really you? I heard from the senior brothers and sisters in the kitchen hall that there is a new garment maker with a fairly good level of clothing in the inner city, or a disciple of Jiuyun Mountain who participated in the trial of the secret realm of Luoying Valley back then, I was wondering if it was you, Eighth Sister, but I couldn't enter the inner city, otherwise I would have gone to look for you a long time ago." ”
