Chapter 22: The Gu Family's Dilemma
After listening to what happened to him, Qianyun understood his feelings a little, but she still wouldn't agree with his insistence on causing his domestic servants and relatives to starve to death on the streets. It's just that this has come to this, and most of the people on this continent have lived as slaves, what can she do?
"So, don't you think your own servants are human? The Gu family is so rich, how could they be starved to death?"
"No, the money of the Gu family was stored in a secret place before my father's accident, before I went with two other personal guards to get the money, but I was found halfway, it was the two of them who fought with their lives to protect my escape, I'm sorry for them, I didn't get the money and even affected my brother, it's useless!" Gu Yuanzi was grief-stricken.
"Your Gu family is in business, and the shops have been sealed?"
"Some of the properties under his name have been assigned by the emperor to take over, some have been monitored, and some have defected to the emperor. Gu Yuanzi said in a hoarse voice.
When things were figured out, Qianyun didn't force him anymore.
King Ping can make the entire Southern Chu country fly and jump for three months, this level is not something that ordinary people can do, at this time, I can't help but think of the original owner, how stupid she used to be to fall in love with him.
"I see that they all listen to you, now you still have to settle them down first, let them live a normal life, as for saving people or something, let's not talk about whether you can save them or not, how can you save yourself even if you starve to death?" Qianyun reminded him.
"What else can I do, now we don't dare to show our heads at all, we can only survive here. Gu Yuanzi remembered that after he ran away, he also went to find a lot of friends who had a good relationship before, they either hid and didn't dare to take care of him, or they also thought about sending him to the government, if he hadn't escaped in time at that time, the entire Gu family would have been extinct a long time ago, and he couldn't do anything about the current situation.
Of course, Qianyun knew that it would be a bit of a blow for him to suddenly have such a thing, but it had come to this point, and he had to think of other ways.
"Anyway, you are their young master, they obey your orders, I will give you a chance to live again, are you willing?"
Gu Yuanzi had no choice, his father and they were going to be beheaded in a month, but what could he do? As this young lady said, the people who followed him lived so badly because of themselves, and they couldn't be so selfish. He frowned, thought twice, and decided to follow the young lady's arrangement.
"What chance? We are now fugitives from the imperial court, and you dare to help us?"
"What don't you dare to do, but you need your own efforts, you pick a few people to arrange it, find a place to clean up with everyone, I really can't stand this smell. After cleaning, leave a few people with inconvenient mobility to come down to take care of the old, young, sick and disabled, and everyone else gathers at the top of the mountain, including you. ”
"What are you going up the hill for?"
"Build a house, or go back to your beggar's street to beg for food, and wait for death?"
Well, Gu Yuanzi is really a little unacceptable to Qianyun's way of speaking, always taking his sore spots, he will not take his family back on Beggar's Street, and he is not distressed if the servants starve to death.
"You go and arrange for them, I'll go to the top of the mountain to prepare first, is there a problem?"
Gu Yuanzi nodded, after her like this, he was much more sober, and the family would definitely have to save them, but they couldn't be affected.
"No problem, can I ask who you are?"
"My name is Qianyun!"
"Thousand clouds!"
Gu Yuanzi couldn't believe it, wasn't Qianyun the fourth lady of Qin Xiangfu? A few days ago, it was rumored that he was sick and died, how could he appear here, and he was still helping himself.
"Another person who knows me, I'm so famous?" Qianyun could tell from his expression that he must know that the original owner had hidden it so well before, and there were still many people who knew it, it seemed that she was really a celebrity.
Gu Yuanzi was a little embarrassed, he explained: "I haven't seen you, but I've heard about you, but... It seems that it is all rumors. ”
Qianyun seems to have misunderstood him, thinking that he is like those people in King Yu's Mansion, and he even knows the true side of the original owner, but thinking about it, if even the original owner hides himself like this, everyone knows it, then either the original owner is too stupid or everyone is King Yu.
"It doesn't matter, we can say whatever others like, and we don't care about other people's mouths. Qianyun saw that he had regained his senses, and he was also relieved, "I'll go up first, you guys find a place to clean up and come up quickly, I have other things." ”
"Yes!" Qianyun had something to do Gu Yuanzi also heard it just now, so he didn't procrastinate anymore, and people even came over to help them in their busy schedules, which already made them grateful.
Qianyun came to the top of the mountain, and took out the paper and charcoal pen brought from Yuwang's Mansion in her arms, she didn't study architecture, but she knew the appearance of the buildings better than everyone here, so draw some buildings, let them find a few people who can build houses, just build these buildings, I don't know if it will be very difficult.
The architect's skills are not good, and she can't draw some complex high-rise buildings for them to build, so she follows the drawings of the small villa, and the two-story building is still relatively easy to build.
After Qianyun finished painting, Gu Yuanzi also brought those people up, although they were still shabby and coarse cloth and rags, but they were all decent and energetic after cleaning, but they had been in business for many years, and their temperament was still there.
They looked at the piles of stones and stone dust on the top of the mountain, completely confused.
"Miss Qianyun, we're here. ”
Qianyun looked at such a group of people, and gradually had a plan in his heart.
"Gu Yuanzi, you pick a few people for me, one is good at managing accounts, one is good at managing people, and the other is familiar with the Holy Capital City. ”
"Okay!" Gu Yuanzi didn't know what Qianyun was going to do, but he still cooperated and chose three people to come out.
Of the three, one was about fifty years old, one was in his thirties, and the other looked like he was eighteen years old, and his clothes were all in tatters. They were a little reserved, not knowing if they were afraid of Qianyun or embarrassed to approach her.
Qianyun tried to keep a smile and said, "Introduce yourself! I don't know you yet." ”
The man in his thirties looked up at Qianyun and asked, "Miss, in Xia Gu Zhong, Chinese New Year's Eve is now thirty-six years old!"
"Are you married?"
"I got married, and my wife was at the bottom of the mountain. He paused here, and said with red eyes: "The child is more than two years old, and he left two days ago!"
Qianyun frowned slightly, wouldn't it be the child she saw that day two days ago! "Did you starve to death?"
Gu Zhong nodded and replied hoarsely: "Yes, what Miss saw that day was my child." ”
Gu Zhong's words made Gu Yuanzi next to him blame himself, because of his fault, these people who were loyal to him were separated from their relatives.
Qianyun ignored Gu Yuanzi's emotions and continued to ask Gu Zhong, "Do you know me?"
"Well, there are always no outsiders in Beggar Street, and when Miss came that day, we all knew that there was a fairy in Beggar Street, and everyone thought that she was a child who appeared and invited the fairy sister to help us. When Gu Zhong said this, his tone was no longer so low.
"Ahem!" Qianyun was a little embarrassed, she just went in to find someone, but since she could give everyone a little comfort, it was also good. "You can't come back from the dead, please mourn, but you still have to be strong for your wife, understand?"
"Yes. ”
"I just asked Gu Yuanzi for three people, who are in charge of accounts, people, and a person who is familiar with the way, what are you good at?"
"My father is the chief housekeeper of the Gu family, and after my father passed away, I assisted my son in all the big and small things of the Gu family. ”
The man seems to be a smart man, but looking at his respectful appearance, he also looks humble, which is really unfair in this era.
