Chapter 8: Gu Jinqi's Road
Zhou Zidai, who had already walked out several steps, heard her say this, and then turned her head around, looking at her with confusion, and finally snorted as if she was self-deprecating or sarcastic, with a quite expression on her face.
Hard to describe in one word.
If Shen Qingci knew that the girl he treated like a jewel would turn around and sell him, I wonder what his expression would be like?
For the sake of the woman in front of him, no matter how much he tortured him, he was unwilling to give in and flatter her. Only the threat of the woman's safety made him shaken, but now this woman was treating him like a careless abandonment without blinking an eye.
It's really interesting.
"Who is it?"
Zhou Zidai stroked the hair on her forehead that was messed up by the evening breeze, and her voice sounded light and airy without any offensive power.
"The accountant in my house, he once met me once under the recommendation of Shen Qingci, but I felt that this person was of bad character and did not retain him. As a matter of fact, he ended up becoming a clinker under the guidance of my father.
Help me take care of the trivial matters in the accounting room."
Gu Jinshu threw it out without any ambiguity, while Zhou Zidai's expression softened slightly when she heard this, and her words suddenly became cold: "Are you lying to me? Shen Qingci has been in Qinzhou for many years, and there is no one else except his adoptive mother who died young.
"
"Whether you believe it or not depends on how the princess views it. That's all I know."
As if she didn't want to say anything to him, she left these words and walked towards Xiao Luo not far away, even though her back looked a little more decisive, which made Zhou Zidai's frown tighten even more.
It was tied with several knots, and a pair of spring-filled eyes were dark and difficult to see.
When Gu Jinshu returned to Gu's Mansion, the full moon was approaching and the crowds were deserted. She didn't want to cause too much trouble and went straight back to her courtyard. But just as she was about to lie down on the bed to sleep, she was startled by a sound.
Listening to the whispers outside, she couldn't help but stare at the window curtains, her voice subdued, and shouted outside: "What happened outside?"
"Reporting to my lady, the second young master was punished by the master to kneel in the ancestral hall."
A smart maid heard the voice coming from inside, held a lantern, stomped to the dark red wooden door, and responded in a low voice.
Gu Jinshu, who was lying flat on his back, turned slightly to the side, and gave the person outside the door a soft hum before dismissing him. However, his bright eyes were no longer sleepy, and things about Gu Jinqi were constantly swirling in his mind.
Compared with the difficulties faced by his siblings, Gu Jinqi and his two sisters can be said to have had smooth sailing, especially the former who relied on his own abilities to make great contributions at the beginning of the founding of the Qin Dynasty and became the true pillar of the Qin Dynasty.
Although Gu Jinqi was a male heir, his reputation was the least prominent among his father's children at first. Later, when the court was in turmoil and the world was in trouble, he suddenly emerged as an army, leading a group of peasants to overcome obstacles and intimidate everyone.
But in the previous life, kneeling in the ancestral hall did not happen.
As she thought about it, she gradually fell asleep, and met Duke Zhou within a short while. It was not until the next morning that she heard some gossip from the maid's mouth.
She gently inserted the green beaded hairpin into her high bun, looked at herself in the bronze mirror and made some gestures to the figure without realizing it. Only then did she move her hand with a look of satisfaction between her brows and eyes.
Come on.
"He doesn't want to go to Qinzhou Academy?"
"I heard the young man on duty in the master's yard mentioned it. At this moment, my wife is still kneeling in the ancestral hall with the second young master!"
"oh!"
She narrowed her eyes and spoke with a hint of indifference. Although the Gu family had been working and studying for generations, they were not a noble family in the Zhou Dynasty. The so-called ancestral hall was just for a scene.
She had seen a real scholarly family, and had been constrained by the rules and regulations of the Jiangzuo family, so she could not despise the Gu family's harsh punishments.
As expected by Gu Jinshu, Mrs. Liu fainted after breakfast, which alerted several doctors. As Gu Jinqi could not wake up for a long time, he was also called to attend to her.
Gu Jinshu originally didn't want to listen to these mixed voices, but Gu Jinhe obviously didn't have the ability to interact with her, so he ran to her early in the morning and kept talking.
She wanted to stop him several times, but his enthusiastic look dissuaded her, so she had to respond wordlessly.
"You said my father is not a fool? How could you not see her thoughts?"
The Liu family was obviously planning to use a bitter trick, but this inferior method could not be said to be very clever.
"So what if we see it? His temperament is eaten to death by others."
Her father did have some talent in the officialdom, but he didn't know much about the matters in the inner courtyard of the back house. He was a typical lump of mud that could be squeezed around. He probably had regrets when he punished the two of them by kneeling in the ancestral hall.
, now it’s just a matter of going down the slope to give yourself a step up.
"You have a lot of opinions about our father!"
Gu Jinhe stared at Gu Jinshu closely with a pair of sinister eyes, as if he wanted to see her from the outside to the inside, from her hair to her bones and blood.
Gu Jinshu was flipping through the title page. Her fingers, as white and tender as peeling onions, shook slightly, and the page she was turning stopped there. Then she silently raised her head.
The cold glance from her eyes made Gu Jinhe feel a little numb. Although his sister was not usually angry, she even always had a bit of a smile, which gave people a feeling of spring breeze in her delicate look.
, but whenever she showed this expression, he would feel frightened for no reason.
"Where is the old gentleman in your yard?"
Gu Jinshu was not willing to talk about Gu Mingsheng with him. In her last life, she and he were left alone in Qinzhou as a one-faced jackal. She did not have sufficient evidence to prove that she was related to him, but she was afraid that she and Liu were incomprehensible.
Continuously.
Her younger brother has no memory of his previous life, and he has great enthusiasm for family affection in his heart. She is not willing to pour cold water on him. If Gu Mingsheng's fatherly love begins to shrink, then she will naturally have her own obstacles.
ladder.
"Didn't come back last night."
"Do you know where you are going?"
Hearing that Shen Qingci did not look back at the house, Gu Jinshu suddenly felt a surge of hope in her heart. She sincerely hoped that Zhou Zidai had succeeded. With Zhou Zidai's nature, Shen Qingci would definitely not be able to get it if she fell into her hands.
good.
"How do I know?"
His old gentleman came and went without a trace. He was really good at it! He usually worked hard when he was practicing martial arts next to that man, and he never even looked at him. There must be private matters when going out, and even more so
It was impossible to tell myself.
Gu Jinshu glanced sideways silently, her pupils slightly pale, and then moved her eyes to the book, quite in a state of being without any external objects.
Gu Jinhe couldn't help but twitch the corner of his lips when he saw her pretentious posture. She muttered one after another without any response. After a while, she could only lower her head and prepare to return in defeat.
