Chapter 123: The Tragedy of the Ming Mansion
Xiao Gu smiled slightly and said regretfully: It stands to reason that Xiao Ke should be the east today, so that the big brothers can be refreshed, but what is depressing is that Xiao Ke has an urgent matter today and can't get out!
At first, when the four boatmen heard that Xiao Gu was going to be the east, they were happy from their hearts, thinking that they were lucky today and had met a good person, but when they heard the words behind them, they asked puzzledly: Little brother, in this weather today, what else can you do urgently, is it possible that you want to go to sea!
Unexpectedly, Xiao Gu said seriously: Exactly, Xiao Ke has an urgent matter and must go to sea today, the four eldest brothers do the brothers a favor and give the brothers a ride, and there will be heavy thanks when they come back!
When the four of them heard this, they were stunned for a long time, and then cursed: The spirit is sick............ If you want to die, don't pull us on your back, and then scolded and turned around to leave, just two steps away by Xiao Gu, with a pleading tone said: The four eldest brothers are really in a hurry, and ask the four eldest brothers to help, and then took out a tart silver ticket from his arms, and each of them sent fifty taels, and then said: This is just a thank you after the fare comes back.

The four of them held the silver ticket in their hands and were speechless, this is the most silver they have seen in their lives, thinking, I can't imagine that this stupid nerd is so rich, but there is a problem with his brain, he has to find death, alas!
Turning back to Xiao Gu and said: It's not that the brothers don't help you, it's just that if you go to sea in this weather, you will definitely die, you collect the money, the money is good, but life is more important, otherwise no matter how much money you have, what's the use of spending it, brother listen to my brother's advice, you should dispel the idea of going to sea today! Brother promised you, as soon as the day is open, the brothers will accompany you out to lie on the sea, what do you think.
It's too late to wait, Xiao Gu said anxiously.
As soon as he finished speaking, the four boatmen shook their heads and said helplessly: That's no way, my brothers can't help you, looking at the appearance of the four people who are about to leave again, Xiao Guxin took out the silver tickets in his arms again, and threw them to the four people and said: As long as whoever crosses me to sea today, these silver tickets will belong to whom, and the four of them looked at it, adding up to five hundred taels, and they couldn't help but stick out their tongues in fright, but then shook their heads and said: It's still not good, don't hit us with money, although our lives are not worth so much, but we don't want to find death by ourselves。
Xiao Gu saw that they were a little helpless, and finally could only spend fifty taels of silver in the surprise of the four people to go out to sea alone, during which they did not know how much they suffered, and finally arrived at the East China Sea Huoyan Island ten days later, and was rescued by Tie Longyun who was fishing on the seaside, when Tie Longyun learned from Xiao Gu that Zhu Ziming went to danger alone, he was very angry, and he was too late to prepare to take the day and night, and took the risk of taking his granddaughter Min'er to the house where the Ming Mansion was located.
Half a month later, the three of them rushed to the house, and saw Gu Yue sitting on the steps outside the house with a tired face and staring at the road with a solemn expression, as soon as they saw the three of them coming, they suddenly knelt down beside Tie Longyun and Min'er and lost their voices in pain, and soon fainted, Tie Longyun and his granddaughter Min'er saw pain in their eyes and heart, Min'er gently picked up Gu Yue with tears, all the way to the house, put Gu Yue on the bed, and waited anxiously.
After nightfall, Gu Yue slowly woke up and told the two of them exactly what his son Zhu Ziming said when he left, and when the two heard the so-called dead body, they were also shocked.
Half a day later, Tie Longyun said: If it is like this, it is estimated that something bad will happen, Min'er and I will rush to it immediately, maybe we can help him, Yue'er, you are waiting for news at home!
Gu Yue shook her head and said: I don't worry, I also want to go, this mansion is also a temporary idea, and it will be dispersed tomorrow, I have already sent the next person, the two of them saw that she said that it was useless to persuade again, so they didn't say anything, and after sitting for a while, they went to rest, Gu Yue sat in the room uneasily, his heart was like numbness, seeing that it was late at night, he stood up helplessly and planned to sleep for a while, but as soon as he lay down, he heard the old housekeeper Uncle Zhang scolded in surprise: You four are crazy, Xiao Gu quickly put them down, Gu Yue was taken aback and didn't know what was going on, so he quickly got up and pushed open the door, I saw the old housekeeper Uncle Zhang anxiously walking back and forth at the door where the four maids lived.
Gu Yue thought to herself, these four stupid girls won't do anything stupid, so she hurriedly came to the old housekeeper uneasily, and asked, "What happened to Uncle Zhang?"
The old housekeeper said with some sadness: Madam, those four stupid girls hanged themselves...
Before the old housekeeper finished speaking, Gu Yue felt dizzy for a while, and almost fainted, and he stepped back a few steps before he could barely stand still, and asked with a pale face: Dead?
The old housekeeper said in shock: Fortunately, he was discovered by Xiao Gu, and the ball came down in time, the old man saw it just now, but he is still in a coma, don't worry, madam!
Gu Yue then stroked her chest and hurried into the house, looking at the four people lying side by side on the bed, she suddenly burst into tears, and asked puzzledly, why did they kill themselves! Could it be that the money given is too little?
The old housekeeper said quite sadly: Hey, these four stupid girls didn't take a share of the money at all, and the statement to the old man was that the lady promised not to let them go, so they didn't want the money, and the old man's expression naturally believed it, and when he saw that they were talking and laughing in the past few days, he thought it was true, so he didn't care about it, who knew that they had already planned to commit suicide, alas! They all blamed the old man for being confused!
Gu Yue was also sad, half a day later, the four of them slowly woke up, and when they saw that they were still alive, they cried again, Gu Yue's inner pain at this time was indescribable, and she slowly sat down beside the four of them, and asked softly: Lan Jian, why do you four want to seek death?
When the four of them heard this, they all shook their heads and said: No, Madam, the four of us have a hard life, and it is not easy to meet a good master like Madame, thinking that this body will be with the master's family, but who knows that Madame wants to drive the four members of the slave family away, even if she gives more money, what is the use of the four of us! It's better to die, at least have a home in the Ming Mansion, if you don't die, you will still be a lonely ghost, Gu Yue has already burst into tears after listening to the words, looking at their immature faces, she is sad, she can't imagine that they are so young and the opportunities are so miserable.
With a slight smile, he gently took the four of them in his arms, and said firmly: Alas, okay, it's all my fault, from now on, you are born as a member of my Zhu family, and death is the ghost of my Zhu family, oh! By the way, your young master is not surnamed Ming, but surnamed Zhu, because it is convenient for him to change his name and surname Ming, and the four of you will follow me today! If you want to die and die together, I will not drive you away again, but you must promise me that you are not allowed to do stupid things again in the future.
