Someone knocked on the door, but did not speak, Gu Qingzhou was a little frightened for a while.

The ghost sent the gods, and she thought of Si Xingpei.

That guy doesn't dare to break into her house in the daytime, right?

Gu Qingzhou has lived for sixteen years, and the only thing he has ever been afraid of is Si Xingpei, whether it is his cruelty or his kiss, it makes Gu Qingzhou shudder.

Once he was bitten by a snake for three years and was afraid of the well rope, Gu Qingzhou was always worried about Si Xingpei.

She really hoped that there was a man who could compete with Si Xingpei and marry her home.

At the same time, I thought that the man who could compete with Si Xingpei was not worthy of it at all, and he was married back to be a concubine.

It's all concubines, it's better to die!

Gu Qingzhou's mind was spinning around, and he cautiously opened the door.

After opening the door, it was Miao'er, the maid of the third aunt, holding refreshments in her hand: "Miss Qingzhou, the master has not come back yet, the kitchen will be opened later, I will send you some snacks to fill in, and you can bear with it for an hour or two." ”

After that, Miao'er gave Gu Qingzhou another look.

Gu Qingzhou immediately understood everything.

This Miao'er, who is silent, scares Gu Qingzhou to death.

"It's the camera." Under her apron, she hid a camera with a tray.

Gu Qingzhou took it.

"The third aunt said that this camera is worth more than 100 yuan, which is very expensive, if Miss Qingzhou can't use it, she can go to the photo studio to learn, don't break it; There's a roll of tape in there, so you can save a little shot. Miao'er whispered.

Cameras are luxury, and cameras of more than 100 yuan are even more expensive.

In the entire Yuecheng, regardless of the officials and workers, the highest monthly salary is the bank president, 120 yuan a month. is like Gu Qingzhou's father, Gu Guizhang, who is the deputy head of the customs yamen, with a monthly salary of eighty yuan.

Of course, Gu Guizhang's gray income is more than ten times his monthly salary, and he earns a lot every month. If an official only eats on his monthly salary, he will starve to death.

These just mean that a camera of more than a hundred yuan is a real luxury, and Miao'er is very worried that Gu Qingzhou will break it, because Gu Qingzhou and the third aunt can't afford to pay it together.

The third aunt borrowed this camera, but she still used Gu Guizhang's name, if it was damaged, Gu Guizhang would have to kill the third aunt.

"Don't worry, I won't break it." Gu Qingzhou said, carefully put it away.

She can use a camera, Zhang Chuchu has one, and Gu Qingzhou often helps her take pictures.

Zhang Chuchu even has a potion to wash the photo.

When it comes to fashion and elegance, Zhang Chuchu, the wife of the former leader of the gang in Shanghai, is afraid that she is richer and more noble than any noblewoman in Yuecheng.

Gu Qingzhou was exposed to Zhang Chuchu and had seen everything.

All the people in the Gu family combined, they are not as noble as Zhang Chuchu, and the whole Gu family is not as good as the Gu family that Gu Qingzhou has learned and played.

After sending Miao'er away, Gu Qingzhou put away the camera.

Early the next morning, Gu Qingzhou went out on an excuse to visit Mrs. Si.

The chickens and dogs at home were restless, and no one pursued Gu Qingzhou's whereabouts. She went and didn't come back until the evening, and her handbag was bulging, and she didn't know what she was hiding.

Gu Qingzhou walked upstairs quickly.

Soon, she heard Gu Guizhang's roar coming from the study on the second floor.

Gu Guizhang is back.

As soon as he returned, everyone in the family held their breath, not wanting to be a bird.

Gu Guizhang went around for a relationship, and after two days of activities, he got nothing, and spent a lot of money, so he was so angry that he scolded Qin Zhengzheng again.

"I'm so disappointed in you!" Gu Guizhang scolded.

Straightening Qin Zhengzheng, Gu Guizhang has not regretted it. There are often times when the couple stumble, and Gu Guizhang is sometimes annoyed, and then forgets about it.

However, he had never regretted it so much at this moment, and his bowels were so blue with regret. He was desperate for Qin Zheng!

How can you not despair?

His wife should obviously be humble and introverted, become his virtuous helper, help him rise step by step, educate his children well, and assist the children to become talents.

As a result, it was just such a trivial matter as Qingzhou going home, a little test, Qin Zhengzheng made frequent mistakes, even to the point of causing a commotion, and asked Gu Guizhang to clean up the aftermath for her.

During dinner, Qin Zheng was forced to show up, the finger marks on his cheeks had disappeared, but his eyes were very swollen. Compared with the two aunts, the old age suddenly appeared.

"Master, I heard about the third and fourth misses studying." The second aunt Taibai spoke, interrupting the silence at the dinner table.

The second aunt was born in Yue Opera, and her gestures often have a bit of the charm of singing, chanting, sitting and playing, which is particularly charming and enchanting.

"Master, you've lost weight from all over the place, so you might as well forget it." The second aunt is too much.

Qin Zheng was furious, and pointed at the second aunt: "What did you say?" ”

"Isn't it?" The second aunt's eyes were slightly restrained, and she shrank to Gu Guizhang's side, and at the same time her sharpness did not decrease, "Mrs. did something wrong, but she asked the master to spend money and stick to it, is it important for the young ladies to study, or is it important for the master?" ”

When Gu Guizhang heard this, the eyes that fell on the second aunt were a little relieved.

When Qin Zhengzheng saw it, he was half frightened to death, for fear that Gu Guizhang would really give up on her daughters, so he immediately jumped up again: "Master, this matter must not be allowed, you have raised them for so many years, do you have to fall short?" ”

The third and fourth children also cried, and stepped forward to pull Gu Guizhang's arm: "Abba, you won't let us drop out of school, right?" ”

"Abba, it's really not good, you can send us to the UK to study in advance, Sister also went to the UK at the age of thirteen." The third elder Gu Weidao.

Gu Guizhang thought of the cost of his eldest daughter going to the UK, and felt a little painful.

He has been short of money in the past few years, and he only plans to send his son Gu Shao to France, and he does not plan to send Gu Wei and Gu Ying again. Hearing this, the corners of Gu Guizhang's mouth twitched: It seems that there is only one way to go to the church school, and we must fight for it.

"Shut up!" Gu Guizhang was so upset by the noise that he smashed a small bone china dish with entwined lotus flowers, and the broken porcelain splashed all over the ground.

The dining room fell silent.

Everyone was nervous, only Gu Qingzhou looked calm and leisurely, and there was no panic.

Gu Guizhang was ruthless, so he could only push this daughter out first and let her try.

"Qingzhou, you follow me upstairs." Gu Guizhang got up and said to Gu Qingzhou.

Gu Qingzhou always looked soft and obedient, she put down the carved silver spoon, said in a low voice: "Yes", and followed Gu Guizhang to the study on the second floor.

Gu Guizhang sat behind a large old-fashioned rosewood desk and began to smoke.

In the light mist, the aroma of the cigar is crisp.

Gu Qingzhou gently stroked the lines of this desk, and thought: "Such a good antique desk must be my grandfather's thing, and the Gu family has no such background." ”

This Gu Mansion, the slightly more decent furniture and supplies, and even the property, were all left by Gu Qingzhou's grandfather, and now they are taken by Gu Guizhang for himself.

Gu Guizhang thought that Gu Qingzhou was nervous, so he touched the desk.

He smoked half a cigar before he spoke: "Qingzhou, you also know about the affairs of the family, and Abba can't bear to implicate you in studying." ”

Gu Qingzhou sneered in his heart, but his eyes were as docile as a little sheep.

She remained silent.

She knew very well what Gu Guizhang was going to say next. Everything was within Gu Qingzhou's plan.

Regardless of the wind and waves, Gu Qingzhou sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and waited for the harvest.
