It also rained all day on Sunday. The latest and fastest updates
The rain is thin, like a gossamer drifting, and it is foggy everywhere. On the courtyard wall of the Gu Mansion, those green vines also lost their wide and emerald green leaves, bare and attached to the wall, lifeless.
The raindrops that fell on the milky white railing accumulated into a lot, and with a gust of breeze, the crystal clear raindrops rolled down, fell on the bluestone path, and splashed a crystal flower.
Gu Qingzhou sat in front of the window and wrote down carefully.
She finished all the homework in school, this is her main business, and Gu Qingzhou can't be wasted.
The homework was not so easy, she sat for six hours, motionless, and wrote it all carefully.
After finishing his homework, Gu Qingzhou stretched his waist and pulled out a cotton shirt with ten kinds of agarwood-colored brocade and a dark green long skirt in the wardrobe.
Afraid of getting her shoes wet, she deliberately changed into a pair of leather shoes.
The leather shoes are also dark green, which is connected to the hem of her skirt and hidden in the hem, which is not obtrusive at all.
After getting dressed, Gu Qingzhou went to knock on the door of the second aunt's room.
"Second wife, I'm going to the bookstore, the school asked me to buy two English books, and I'm going to do an appreciation next month, I just remember it now." Gu Qingzhou said.
The second aunt was reading a magazine in the room, and when she heard this, she said, "Do you want me to accompany you?" ”
"No need, it's raining outside, and it's getting wet, it's uncomfortable." Gu Qingzhou said.
The second aunt was too lazy and didn't want to move, so she said, "Okay, you can go." ”
After that, she got up and took out two yuan for Gu Qingzhou.
Gu Qingzhou said: "Can you let the driver Lao Sun send me?" ”
The Gu family has two cars, except for the one where Gu Guizhang goes to work, the rest is to send the children to school, send Qin Zheng out, etc.
The driver, Lao Sun, was ready to send his wife and children.
"Okay." The second aunt said too happily.
Gu Qingzhou went downstairs, first went to the inverted seat where the next person lived, and asked Lao Sun to prepare for driving.
"Miss Qingzhou, do you still want to go out on such a rainy day?" The maid sister-in-law Chen and Gu Qingzhou chatted.
"yes, go buy some books. Gu Qingzhou said.
Sister-in-law Chen said that the girls' family should study more, and now it is not as good as before.
chattering, Gu Qingzhou had no frame to talk to them, and Lao Sun parked the car at the door.
Gu Qingzhou got into the car.
Sitting firmly, Lao Sun asked Gu Qingzhou: "Miss Qingzhou, where are you going?" ”
Gu Qingzhou was silent.
"Let's go to the bookstore on the south side of Our Lady Road." Gu Qingzhou said.
Our Lady Road is next door to the Gu Mansion, close to two streets, and it takes less than fifteen minutes to walk.
The Gu family is not prominent, and at such a close distance, the master will not let it be sent.
Waste of oil!
But the other party is Miss Gu Qingzhou, who will marry to the Overseer's Mansion in the future. The servant would also be observant, and Lao Sun was the most clever and cautious, so without saying a word, he drove the car to the bookstore on the south side of Our Lady Road.
Lao Sun drove slowly, and it only took five minutes to arrive.
The bookstore is not big, there are few guests on rainy days, and behind the glass door, the lights are on. The lights are orange, warm, and there is a kind of bland warmth.
You can vaguely smell the scent of ink in the bookstore.
"Miss Qingzhou, it's here." Lao Sun said.
Gu Qingzhou didn't get out of the car.
She sat in the back, motionless.
Lao Sun is a little strange, he is the driver of the Gu family, with a meager salary, and he doesn't dare to offend the young ladies and wives, so he doesn't dare to turn back.
The carriage is quiet, with the faint fragrance of roses.
Lao Sun's heart is up and down.
What does this mean?
About two minutes later, Lao Sun said again, "Miss Qingzhou, it's here." ”
He is very responsible, he just doesn't look back. Glancing from the rearview mirror, Gu Qingzhou sat with his arms crossed, his expression quiet, as if he was looking at Lao Sun.
Lao Sun groaned.
"I have always been above board, and I am not afraid of the wives and young ladies to investigate." Lao Sun comforted himself.
This kind of psychological warfare lasted for five minutes, and Lao Sun was full of doubts and even nervous at this time, and the line of defense in his heart was the easiest to step on, so Gu Qingzhou spoke.
"Lao Sun, you always send your wife out, has your wife recently gone somewhere to let you park, and then she left in another rickshaw?" Gu Qingzhou asked.
The old grandson's scalp was numb.
There are a few times.
But can such a thing be said? The driver sent the master out, knew the master's movements best, and if it was unreliable, he would have been fired a long time ago.
Lao Sun knows very well what he can say and what he can't say, and he still has to rely on this salary to support the family.
"No, Miss Qingzhou." Lao Sun wanted to say it very firmly, but his voice trembled involuntarily.
"Old Sun, you are not honest!" Gu Qingzhou's slender and delicate little hands gently brushed her thick bangs, revealing a forehead as smooth as jade and a pair of bright and cold eyes as ice.
The eye went over the seat of the car and nailed it to Lao Sun.
"Now that the master quits his job, he won't say that he doesn't like the servant, but only that the servant is not clean, so as not to lose a mean reputation and not be able to recruit a servant in the future." Gu Qingzhou leaned back in his chair and said quietly.
It's the truth.
The status of the servants is low. People who can afford to hire servants are all heads and faces, and resignation will end up with a reputation of being mean and intolerable, and simply saying that the servants are not clean, so it is justified.
Everyone knows it, but this bowl of rice still has to be eaten.
The servants who have been dismissed will basically not dare to ask for them in the future.
Lao Sun is just a driver, and the driver is more of a test of character, if he is dismissed by the Gu family, it will be difficult to find something to do in the future, unless he goes to the dock to work as a coolie.
But the money from the wharf as a coolie can't support the whole family.
Lao Sun was scared half to death, and he didn't know how to provoke this eldest lady.
"Miss Qingzhou, you bodhisattva heart, don't get along with me." Lao Sun was so anxious that he almost cried.
What if he is fired, what will happen to his family? Do you watch your whole family starve to death?
"I won't get along with you, unless you take me to the place where my wife stops and changes cars." Gu Qingzhou said, "Old Sun, you are so smart, you will be my eyes and ears in the future, and I will not treat you badly." ”
Lao Sun thought about it for a while.
Gu Qingzhou has been home for less than a year, she is smart and capable, and the master likes her very much.
In the past year, a lot of things have happened, and the Gu Mansion is still those people on the surface, but secretly it has already been stealing the day.
Compared with Miss Qingzhou, Mrs. is really not a climate now.
If it weren't for the old lady coming, the lady would not even be qualified to eat at the table.
Miss Qingzhou is going to marry into the Overseer's Mansion in the future, and perhaps she will take the servant she is accustomed to with her.
The driver is very important, and it is generally necessary to use cronies. In case she gets Miss Gu Qingzhou's favor, she regards Lao Sun as a confidant, and Lao Sun will be able to go to the Overseer's Mansion to do things.
Lao Sun doesn't have any big ideals, he just wants a higher salary and can support all six children.
Lao Sun would never dare to offend Gu Qingzhou.
"Miss Qingzhou, I'm just a subordinate." Lao Sun was still frowning, and said nervously, "I took you there today, and I will take others to the place where you went another day." In this way, Lao Sun also lacks virtue. ”
"Old Sun, I know you are cautious, don't worry, when you are my eyes and ears in the future, I will never doubt you. I have always been unsuspicious of employing people, and I do what I say. Gu Qingzhou said.
At this point, Lao Sun can't help it.
Gu Qingzhou coerced and lured, and Lao Sun weighed it again and again, and said, "Then Miss Qingzhou, you sit firm." ”
Lao Sun took Gu Qingzhou to the south of the city.
The generation in the south of the city is the old city, with old-style houses, wooden doors and windows, and people who pass by by by chance are all wearing long coats, as if they have returned to the previous dynasty.
Lao Sun said to Gu Qingzhou: "Mrs. gets off at this intersection every time, so I don't have to pick it up, and then she takes a rickshaw and goes to the southeast." ”
Where to go, Lao Sun doesn't know.
Gu Qingzhou bowed.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, grandson, let's go back." Gu Qingzhou said.
When returning to Our Lady Road, Gu Qingzhou went to the watch store and called Si Xingpei's annex.
The person who answered the phone was Si Xingpei's adjutant.
"Help me look it up." Gu Qingzhou said.
She told the adjutant that Qin Zhengzheng was hiding a baby in the old city south of the city, in a cumbersome residential building, about one and a half years old, and a baby girl, who had only come in the last six months.
"There are old neighbors nearby, and suddenly someone comes, and there is a one-and-a-half-year-old child, there will be movement, after all, the child will cry." Gu Qingzhou said, "Can you help me find out the news in one day, and then ask Sister-in-law Zhu to call me?" ”
"Yes, Miss Gu." Adjutant said.
Gu Qingzhou hung up the phone.
Then, she went to the bookstore and bought two English books.
When she returned, there was no one in the living room, and no one asked her where she had gone.
On the eve of dinner, Gu Qingzhou received a phone call.
It was Sister-in-law Zhu who called.
"Miss Gu, there is an address, you can remember it." Sister-in-law Zhu smiled.
"So fast?" Gu Qingzhou was surprised in his heart, it was less than two hours before and after.
Nancheng is so big and has a large population
"Okay, you say." Gu Qingzhou said.
Sister-in-law Zhu reported an address.
At the same time, Sister-in-law Zhu told Gu Qingzhou: "It's a woman with a child, and a man comes to deliver food by chance, and the adjutant has already entered the door, but you want to take people away?" ”
"No need, I'll check it out tomorrow." Gu Qingzhou said.
When she answered the call, the second aunt went downstairs too.
The second aunt didn't ask whose phone number it was, and Gu Qingzhou didn't explain.
At dinner, the fourth aunt suddenly said, "Is there any chicken soup left from yesterday?" ”
"There's still half a bowl left." The cook said.
"Go back and send it to my room for supper." The fourth aunt said.
The cook said yes.
Qin Zheng said with concern: "If you want to eat, ask them to make fresh, one chicken a day is not a difficult task, but don't leave it, it's not good for the child." ”
"It's okay, it's cold now, and it won't be bad for a day." The fourth aunt said with a smile.
They actually said this in front of the whole family.
Qin Zheng has gentle words, a kind attitude, and is very concerned about the appearance of the fourth aunt.
The second aunt looked at it too much, and was inexplicably a little worried: "Are they playing ghosts?" Why are they all strange lately? ”
But the second aunt couldn't figure it out, her eyes rolled on everyone's faces, and she really had no clue, so she had to throw it away.
