Chapter 41 - take the opportunity to extort
Seeing that neither Gu Guizhang nor Gu Qingzhou had eaten, the third concubine went upstairs to have a secret conversation, so Miaoer brought the cheesecake and English black tea freshly made in the kitchen and sent them in.
Miao’er understands, her eyes are shrewd.
When the dim sum came in, Gu Guizhang finished smoking a cigar, his stomach was really empty, and the timing was right, so Gu Guizhang was not angry.
“Who asked you to send it?” Gu Guizhang asked.
“It’s the third concubine.” Miao’er whispered.
Gu Guizhang’s eyes flashed with satisfaction: his two concubines, both Jie Yuhua, were much stronger than Qin Zhengzheng.
He hated Qin Zhengzheng more and more, and regretted that he should not have given her the title. If she was still an aunt, she probably wouldn’t be so ignorant!
Woman, just don’t give her face too much!
Gu Qingzhou sat on the chair next to him, holding a white porcelain plate in his hand, digging out the fragrant cake with a hollowed-out carved silver spoon.
Gu Guizhang looked at her and thought, “I grew up in the country, and my mind is very simple and easy to use. Maybe it will be more useful than Hang Hang in the future.”
When Gu Qingzhou finished eating a piece of cake and began to drink English black tea, Gu Guizhang said slowly: “Qingzhou, it would be much easier if the superintendent opened up about the church school, and it would not delay your study.”
Wanting to ask Gu Qingzhou to ask the superintendent, but he was unwilling to sell his favor, Gu Guizhang made a wishful thinking.
Gu Qingzhou raised his eyes, his eyes were like light blue gems, shining brightly, showing a bit of cleanliness in his innocence, which made it very comfortable to see.
“The commander-in-chief went to the station for inspection, and he won’t return to Yuecheng until after the first month.” Gu Qingzhou said.
This is what Mrs. Si told her.
After the first month, it is too late!
Gu Guizhang was anxious, thinking that everything was going wrong, and a wave of irritability flooded his mind.
“Where’s Mrs. Si?” Gu Guizhang restrained his urgency and said slowly like a loving father, “I can’t delay your study.”
It seems that everything is being considered for Gu Qingzhou.
“I can go and ask Mrs. Si.” Gu Qingzhou said.
Gu Guizhang slowly breathed a sigh of relief and drank two sips of black tea, thinking that Gu Qingzhou was just Gu Qingzhou, young and innocent, and didn’t understand anything.
She let go, so Gu Guizhang could continue talking.
“Qingzhou, you were transferred to a church school. Those female classmates are in groups of three or five. If no one takes care of you, won’t you be angry?” Gu Guizhang said.
Gu Qingzhou nodded.
Gu Guizhang said again: “Then you have to tell Mrs. Si that your two younger sisters will also stay at the school.”
“Will the church school listen to Mrs. Si’s words?” Gu Qingzhou asked, “I heard that the church school is run by Americans.”
“Of course I’ll listen to it. The military government on one side, the church school is a guest, and no matter how I dare not give face to the military government!” Gu Guizhang was proud.
Gu Qingzhou lowered her eyes, and under the cover of her slender eyelashes, her eyes rolled a few times.
“Qingzhou, you will meet Mrs. Si tomorrow.” Gu Guizhang said.
Gu Qingzhou still looked submissive and said in a low voice.
Gu Guizhang finally calmed down a bit.
If it wasn’t for the desperate, Gu Guizhang really didn’t want to use Gu Qingzhou to go to the military government.
Of course, this is not for Gu Qingzhou’s sake, but for Gu Guizhang himself. He doesn’t want to expose his clinging face too early.
Now, I’m going to trouble the governor’s house everywhere, and Madam Si looks down on the Gu family even more, and she refuses to marry Gu Qingzhou at that time. Isn’t Gu Guizhang a chicken and an egg?
With this concern, Gu Guizhang tried his best not to trouble Mrs. Si before Gu Qingzhou got married. Now, he has no choice but to use Gu Qingzhou!
Thinking of this, Gu Guizhang hated Qin Zhengzheng again, because Qin Zhengzheng caused him trouble and made him walk on thin ice.
Gu Qingzhou smiled brightly. Obviously, she didn’t understand anything. This daughter was very easy to use, and Gu Guizhang was a little satisfied.
The next morning, Gu Guizhang personally sent someone to take Gu Qingzhou to the military governor’s house.
Gu Qingzhou’s visit in the first month can be said to be New Year’s greetings. Although the Overseer was not at home, Mrs. Si was not particularly harsh and received her as usual.
“My grandmother’s illness, thank you Miss Gu!” Si Qiongzhi sat on the sofa and whispered to Gu Qingzhou.
Si Qiongzhi is an extremely beautiful girl. When she looked after Qingzhou, the contempt in her eyes was glamorous.
Gu Qingzhou smiled.
Mrs. Si asked, “Are you here today?”
“It’s okay, just to see you.” Gu Qingzhou smiled.
Mrs. Si’s eyes sank, thinking that if it’s all right next time, don’t come here. Who cares about your visit?
After chatting a few words, Mrs. Si took the initiative to chase away the guests.
Gu Qingzhou left from the governor’s mansion.
“Have you seen Mrs. Si?” When Gu Guizhang was not at home after returning from the Si’s house, the third aunt asked quietly, “Qingzhou, you haven’t got a future yet, so don’t call someone a gunman!”
The third concubine now relies on Gu Qingzhou and wants Gu Qingzhou to avenge her. She is even more afraid that Gu Qingzhou will lose the position of the young lady of the military governor’s house.
“I know it in my heart.” Gu Qingzhou said, his eyes calm.
The third aunt nodded.
Touching Gu Qingzhou’s eyes, those quiet and pure, but sharp and cold eyes, the third concubine too inexplicably trusted her.
Gu Qingzhou is more capable than the third concubine imagined, she is definitely the third concubine’s better support!
“What did Mrs. Si say?” Third Aunt asked too concerned.
“I didn’t mention this at all, I just went to visit Mrs. Si and sit for a while.” Gu Qingzhou said.
The third auntie was slightly relieved.
“But your father’s place…” The third concubine was worried again.
“Don’t worry, I have Zhang Liang’s plan.” Gu Qingzhou smiled.
Her smile, pure but with a touch of slyness, made Sanyitai feel calm.
She believed in this child inexplicably, and the third concubine herself felt crazy.
Does Gu Qingzhou really have the ability to deceive people?
In the afternoon, Gu Guizhang, who went out to socialize, went home early.
Seeing that Gu Qingzhou had returned, Gu Guizhang’s brows relaxed slightly, and his heart filled with joy, and immediately asked the servant to call Gu Qingzhou to the study.
Gu Guizhang was in a good mood and asked Gu Qingzhou straight to the point: “What did Mrs. Si say?”
Gu Qingzhou lowered his eyebrows and said with guilt: “Madam said that the Overseer went to the station. The church is involved in politics. The Overseer hates women meddling in politics the most, and Madam dares not ask.”
Gu Guizhang was stunned for a while, but he didn’t expect to be rejected, and his face was ugly for a while.
At the same time, he did not doubt that this was Gu Qingzhou’s pretext. What kind of political and military affairs, how could Gu Qingzhou, a country girl, understand? It must be Mrs. Si’s meaning.
Convinced of Gu Qingzhou’s words, Gu Guizhang was irritable and swirled around the room!
How is it good?
Do you want him to go to the Governor’s Mansion in person and ask Mrs. Si?
The food looks a bit ugly!
Gu Guizhang was afraid that Mrs. Si would care about her, so she really quit Gu Qingzhou’s marriage.
Let Qin Zhengzheng go?
No, that idiot Qin Zhengzheng will only screw things up!
The two concubines are quite smart, but their status is low, so asking them to intercede with Mrs. Si has lowered the status of Mrs. Si, as if the concubine can talk to Mrs. Si, it is undoubtedly an insult to Mrs. Si.
After thinking about it, Gu Guizhang was at a loss, the haze filled his heart again, and he snorted coldly.
“… Mrs. Si said that if the Gu family is really embarrassed, she can entrust others to do it, to ensure that it will not be involved in politics and will not make it difficult for the Overseer’s House to do it. However, there are no two things that cost money to entrust someone to do things. The little yellow croaker can’t be sent away.” Gu Qingzhou said again.
