Chapter 81 - dig out the cravings
Xiangxue didn’t have any cash, and she couldn’t talk to Gu Guizhang. No matter if she was doing some servants or playing mahjong, she needed money. Xiangxue was very embarrassed.
Just when she was extremely embarrassed, the third wife and Miss Qingzhou called her out. When the three of them took a walk in the back garden, the third wife and Miss Qingzhou gave her ten dollars each.
Gu Qingzhou also said: “I came from the country, and the third concubine doesn’t like to go out very much, and we don’t know what good things are in the city.
I wanted to buy a welcome gift for you, but I was afraid that it would be a joke if I didn’t buy it, so I simply gave the gift money. The fourth concubine should not dislike us for being vulgar. “
Xiangxue was almost in tears of gratitude.
God knows she doesn’t need any gifts, she just needs some cash!
The master asked her last night if she had gone out for a walk, watched a movie, or had coffee. She had to make up an excuse, but she still didn’t dare to mention the money.
The man was careless, and the master didn’t even think of it.
“Thank you Miss Qingzhou, thank you Third Auntie.” Xiangxue said sincerely.
Twenty bucks!
Xiangxue held it, her hands trembling a little: It was the first time in her life that she had received so much money.
When Xiangxue was at her parents’ house, rice was five cents a catty, and she usually cooked rice mixed with coarse grains. Twenty yuan could buy four hundred catties of rice, which was the family’s annual ration.
Life in the countryside is so hard.
“You’re welcome.” Gu Qingzhou said.
With the money, Xiangxue’s biggest dilemma is now resolved. She was preconceived, and she had a very good impression of Gu Qingzhou and the third aunt.
Miao’er asked the third concubine in private: “Why does Miss Qingzhou give so much money to the fourth concubine? Is she trying to win her over?”
“Win her?” The third aunt smiled. “She looks very greedy. We win her because of raising a blood-sucking worm.”
“Then why give her money?”
“This is what Miss Qingzhou means, just to provoke her relationship with his wife and make her more dissatisfied with her.” The third aunt said in a low voice, “My wife brought the fourth aunt back and wanted to deal with the second aunt, even me and Miss Qingzhou. , we’ll let her suffer the consequences.”
These are all Gu Qingzhou’s words.
Gu Qingzhou expected that the fourth concubine was a ruthless and greedy person. Their twenty dollars could not buy her at all, but it would make the conflict between her and Qin Zhengzheng worse.
Just think, will Qin Zhengzheng give her another three or five yuan in the future, will she take it seriously?
“This is to dig up her desires. Our twenty dollars can dig her desires very deep. If the wife wants to fill the fourth concubine’s **, she can’t easily get rid of it.” Third concubine Mrs. road.
Those who have carried gold will no longer take silver in their eyes.
Twenty yuan is to let Xiangxue see the world and lay the foundation of her values.
From then on, Qin Zhengzheng wanted to curry favor with Xiangxue, and offered something with a value of less than 20, which would not only fail to bribe Xiangxue, but would also cause Xiangxue’s dissatisfaction, feeling that Qin Zhengzheng looked down on her.
And twenty yuan, not to mention Qin Zhengzheng, is a huge sum for Gu Guizhang.
Xiangxue, this poisonous snake, will release her fangs.
“The first time I saw her, I knew that this woman would be a ruthless character in the future.” Gu Qingzhou said to the third concubine.
The third concubine nodded and agreed with Gu Qingzhou very much.
“But Mrs. thinks she’s stupid, so she’s easy to handle, otherwise she wouldn’t dare to let her in easily. Over the years, Mrs. is not alone outside, and Mrs. tried every means to stop her.” Third Concubine said again.
The family was temporarily checked and balanced, and the fire of impulse was planted.
The second concubine was originally the most lonely, but she saw that Qin Zhengzheng’s fourth daughter, Gu Ying, did not agree with Qin Zhengzheng, and she vaguely caught Gu Ying’s attention.
Qin Zhengzheng regained his wife’s dignity, and thought he could hold Xiangxue, and was in a good mood.
Xiangxue was honored, and the embarrassment of lack of money was relieved. In addition, Gu Guizhang hated not being able to die on her body, and she lived a more nourishing life.
Gu Qingzhou and the third concubine still did not move, silently doing their own thing.
It’s just that the third young lady, Gu Wei, was placed by the Yan family. She couldn’t find the Yan family to settle accounts. At the same time, she also hoped that the Yan family would favor her and become her backer.
So, she just put the account on Gu Qingzhou.
“I must let Gu Qingzhou be expelled! Yan Luoshui had no friends in the past. After Gu Qingzhou drops out, I can replace her.” Gu Wei thought to himself.
Gu Wei still didn’t give up.
Yan Luoshui calculated her affairs, and she only thought that Yan Luoshui was provoked by Gu Qingzhou.
Gu Qingzhou would not leave voluntarily, and the Misses also knew that she was the fiancée of the military commander’s fiancee, and they did not dare to fire her easily.
Unless she made a big mistake.
“The first few times I dealt with Gu Qingzhou, there were problems. It must have been discussed with Mu’s mother, sister and sister, and the rumors leaked. This time, I have to do it myself.” Gu Wei thought to himself.
She didn’t tell anyone.
After thinking about it for a few days, Gu Wei really thought of a way to get Gu Qingzhou fired.
She didn’t discuss it with others, the more rigorous the plan, the better.
April in Yuecheng is full of flowers, warm and warm. Spring has faded away, and only the golden sun is left, like a brocade robe covering the green trees and flowers, and the entire Yuecheng is gorgeous.
Gu Qingzhou sent a telegram to the countryside in February, and now he finally got a reply.
After getting the telegram, she went to He’s Pharmacy.
Mu Sanniang’s husband, He Mengde, had returned from Anguo Pharmaceutical Market.
“I wanted to send someone to visit my wet nurse two months ago, so I sent a telegram to Master, asking if I could invite my uncle to come. Master replied and said yes.” Gu Qingzhou sent the telegram to Mu Sanniang .
Mu Sanniang was excited, her shoulders trembled slightly, she hadn’t seen her brother for more than ten years.
He Mengde nodded again and again and couldn’t wait to say, “I’ll leave tomorrow!”
Gu Qingzhou took out fifty yuan and asked him to bring it to her wet nurse.
“Tell Ma Li for me that everything is fine with me.” Gu Qingzhou handed the money to He Mengde.
When she left the village, Li Ma was reluctant to come with her.
Li Ma said that she is Gu Qingzhou’s weakness and may be used by Qin Zhengzheng and Gu Guizhang. At that time, Gu Qingzhou will be constrained and unable to move an inch.
Li Ma still stayed in the country, and Mu Zonghe and Zhang Chuchu would take care of her. Even if the Gu family sent someone to look for her, there would be no trace of her, except through the Muzong River.
When Gu Qingzhou is in the city, she can do her own thing with peace of mind and no worries.
When she is completely successful and takes back what belongs to her, she will pick up Li Ma.
If she really misses Li Ma, she can pass through the Muzong River. Mu Zonghe agreed, and she sent a reliable person to visit.
“Don’t worry, Qingzhou.” He Mengde carefully collected Gu Qingzhou’s money.
Gu Qingzhou gave He Mengde the toll again, and He Mengde refused to accept it when he died.
The next day, He Mengde set off.
The school and Gu Mansion are in a calm state for the time being, especially Gu Mansion, there is a kind of tranquility before the storm, and the atmosphere is extraordinarily depressing, but Gu Guizhang can’t understand it.
Gu Qingzhou goes to and from school on time every day. She arranged everything, and she didn’t need to sing in the next scene.
She occasionally saw the adjutant who was too late to avoid on the street corner, and she knew that it was Si Xingpei’s person.
Si Xingpei monitors her whereabouts and at the same time protects her safety.
Gu Qingzhou was disappointed, but he didn’t resist.
The resistance that can’t be hit with a single blow seems powerless and hypocritical, Gu Qingzhou is waiting for the opportunity.
Gu Wei became more and more enthusiastic about Gu Qingzhou.
There is a piano in Gu’s mansion, which belongs to Sister Gu Xiang, and Gu Qingzhou has never touched it.
Gu Wei often invited her to play the piano.
Gu Zhang was very angry.
“I practiced at school, I don’t want to practice again.” Gu Qingzhou always shied away and didn’t want to get along with Gu Wei.
Gu Wei suffered such a big loss, she must wait for the opportunity to retaliate. Gu Qingzhou’s friendship with her is nothing more than sending himself to her mouth and letting her devour.
Besides, the little characters like Gu Wei and Gu Ying were not the fish in Gu Qingzhou’s net, and she disdained to salvage them.
However, Gu Wei pressed his hot face against his cold ass, and continued to flatter Gu Qingzhou.
“Why do you curry favor with her? You are a bitch, you follow her like a dog.” Gu Hao was so angry that he once scolded Gu Wei in the dining room.
Gu Qingzhou heard it.
Gu Wei hurriedly told Gu Zhang to shut up, and at the same time secretly delighted in his heart: Strict secrecy is very good, and even the eldest sister can cooperate with her unintentionally, which is even more credible.
Facing Gu Xiang’s abuse, Gu Wei was very angry and thought to himself, “Eldest sister is very scolding now. When I clean up Gu Qingzhou, let you and Mu’s mother see my ability!”
Gu Qingzhou’s eyes under the thick bangs are indifferent and gentle, without any aggression. Hearing Gu Wei and Gu Hao quarreling, her eyes were as calm as ever.
The third week of April, Tuesdays are hand and vocal lessons.
The crafting class for the senior year is sewing dolls.
Gu Qingzhou was sewing dolls with Yan Luoshui when the assistant teacher Miss Luo suddenly came in and whispered a few words to Miss.
Mies nodded.
Miss Luo walked over to Gu Qingzhou and whispered to Gu Qingzhou, “Your sister is injured, you can take a look.”
Gu Qingzhou’s big eyes were watery and clear, and he was immediately concerned and asked Miss Luo, “Is she all right?”
“It’s all right.” Miss Luo said.
Gu Qingzhou took leave of absence from Miss Mies, who was in the class, and went to see Gu Wei at the school doctor.
Yan Luoshui did not follow.
School doctors are nuns.
Gu Wei was lying on the snow-white sick bed, his forehead was wet with sweat, his lips were slightly pursed, there were thin tears in the corners of his eyes, and his pink face was pale at the moment.
“Sister!” Seeing Gu Qingzhou, Gu Wei called her softly, tears welling up in his eyes, very aggrieved and pitiful.
Next to Gu Wei’s bed, there was a slender and petite woman.
This woman, Gu Qingzhou’s math teacher. She is not Miss, but a nun.
The math teacher’s surname is Hu.
Sister Hu is usually very kind, thin and small, and her body is not very good.
Gu Qingzhou’s arithmetic course was terrible, almost at the bottom of the class, and Sister Hu also made up for her twice by herself.
In last month’s test, Gu Qingzhou’s grades rose from the bottom to the middle. Sister Hu has a great sense of achievement, as if she had carved a piece of rough jade by herself, so she prefers Gu Qingzhou.
“Qingzhou, it’s all my fault.” Sister Hu sighed, “Your sister kindly helped her, but I poured tea for her, and the cup slipped and burned her feet.”
Gu Wei wore long tube socks at school, and when they took them off, they revealed white slender legs and red and swollen insteps.
Sister Hu poured tea for her, but the cup of hot tea accidentally fell off and hit Gu Wei’s instep directly. The glass shattered, and two pieces cut through Gu Wei’s instep, bleeding a little.
The nun’s school doctor said that it was not in the way, there was no burn, it was just scratched, and there would be no scars, but Gu Wei was terrified and kept crying.
She also cried to see Gu Qingzhou.
Gu Qingzhou stared for a moment, glanced at Gu Wei’s feet, and vaguely understood something in his heart.
