Jiang Shanshan heard the sound and said respectfully behind the curtain: "My mother once said that she was lucky enough to have seen half of the Art of War, and she also admired Mr. Yu quite a lot."
After the words fell, the study became silent for a moment. The most surprised person was the shopkeeper.
Others didn't know the origin of this art of war. It was impossible for him not to know. Seeing that the people behind the curtain were silent, he had no choice but to say: "May I ask Ling Ci..."
"My mother's surname is Lin, but I can't reveal my first name."
"Forest?"
The shopkeeper was stunned, as if he had thought of something. Just when he was about to turn around and report, he saw the curtain lifted, and an old man with white hair looking at Jiang Shanshan intently.
And the latter was also looking at him.
He is younger than she thought. Although he has a full head of white hair, his face looks like he is only sixty years old at most. If nothing happens, it is not impossible to live for more than ten years.
Several people remained silent until the old man spoke after a moment: "Your mother..."
Knowing what he wanted to ask, Jiang Shanshan said: "My mother has been dead for six years, and now only my brother and I are left to depend on each other."
The old man suddenly realized, "She didn't die back then!"
This sentence had to be thought-provoking. Jiang Shanshan seemed to understand what he meant and acquiesced.
"There is a pot of tea in the backyard, go and make it."
The shopkeeper came to his senses, glanced at Jiang Shanshan, and left.
The old man motioned to Jiang Shanshan to follow him, walked to the banquet behind the curtain and sat down.
This afternoon, Jiang Shanshan answered all questions. He didn't plan to leave until a few cups of tea had cooled down.
"Sir, if you can accept your younger brother, you will not be disappointed." She stood up and bowed respectfully.
The old man smiled. In fact, he had already made up his mind from the moment he appeared.
"You are so smart, just like your mother." He said, wrote a few lines of words and handed them to her, "If your brother can answer these questions, I will accept him."
Jiang Shanshan's eyes lit up and he immediately took it and thanked him: "Thank you sir!"
After leaving the study room, she held the paper in her arms like a treasure.
Although he became a disciple two years in advance, these problems must not be difficult for his clever younger brother.
In a good mood, Jiang Shanshan even walked back much faster.
Hurrying slowly, she didn't return to Jiangjia Alley until the sun set in the west, and saw the figure standing in front of her at a glance.
Light blue shirt, wide-sleeved robe, elegant figure.
Even before he could see his face clearly, he could already see his handsome appearance.
Jiang Shanshan's eyebrows arched.
"Isn't this Mr. Gu? Why are you here?" She walked over and asked knowingly.
"Be presumptuous, and you must not be rude in front of the young master." The attendant jumped out of nowhere, with a defensive look on his face.
Jiang Shanshan's eyes were fixed on Gu Yuan, but he didn't notice the other people and said directly: "Master Gu appears here, could he just happen to be passing by?"
The ignored follower suddenly became angry when he saw that she was ignoring him.
Gu Yuan lowered his eyes and looked at her without saying anything, "Who is your mother?"
Jiang Shanshan smiled, "I can't tell you this, Master Gu. You also know how important this secret is, so how can I tell you so easily."
As she said that, she dusted her sleeves and said, "My brother and I may not even be able to save our lives now, and you don't know about a place like the Jiang family that eats people without spitting out their bones."
Gu Yuan understood. Thinking of the information he had found, he also understood her intention.
When the attendants heard this, they immediately realized that Jiang Shanshan was hanging on them and became very angry.
"Don't even think about threatening my young master. My young master will not be fooled!"
"What do you want?" Gu Yuan said calmly.
The attendant was surprised and turned to look at him with disapproval on his face, "Master!"
Jiang Shanshan smiled, "As the son of the Gu family, it shouldn't be difficult for my brother to paint another statue of Guanyin, right?"
It's really not difficult. Seeing how anxious she is, I'm afraid she's running into some trouble. Otherwise, how could she easily disclose the information about her biological mother.
"Don't worry, Mr. Gu, I am not a threat to you as a weak woman. All I want is to live a good life with my brother." Jiang Shanshan whispered: "As for the rest, I don't care."
This sentence meant something. Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Aren't you afraid that your life will be in danger if you know too much?"
"Young Master Gu is so beautiful that he doesn't linger in his heart, so how can he care about such a trivial matter? Furthermore, I am of some value. Wouldn't it be better if I could be used by him?"
When the attendant heard this, he couldn't stand still, and immediately came up to him and said: "Sir, this woman is so cunning, you must not trust her easily..."
"What's the matter with you?" Jiang Shanshan swatted the person away with an impatient expression, then looked at Gu Yuan, "Mr. Gu, what do you think?"
Gu Yuan glanced at the entourage indifferently, nodded slightly, "Yes!"
The follower felt bitter, this witch actually deceived his young master with just a few words!
When Jiang Shanshan got a satisfactory answer, he stopped delaying and said hurriedly: "There is a problem with Mr. Jiang's Zhuangzi."
After saying that, she had already run away. Seeing her climbing up the wall familiarly, Gu Yuan removed his eyes and left with his entourage.
On the way, the attendant pouted with a dissatisfied look on his face: "Master, you don't really believe that woman! She is from the Jiang family after all. What if..."
You are setting a trap for them! Besides, if you can betray your own family, you will definitely betray them.
"You go check on Zhuangzi's affairs. We'll talk about that girl later." Gu Yuan ordered, leaving the man outside the carriage and left.
The entourage was stunned when he saw that the dusty road was completely empty.
Was he left behind?
On the other side, Jiang Shanshan returned to Biluo Courtyard. When the gatekeeper saw her, she immediately pulled her over and said, "My little ancestor, you are finally back."
With that said, he hurriedly pushed her into the yard, "Go back quickly, Aunt Hongyu and Mother Qin will be here soon, but we can't let them see it."
Before Jiang Shanshan could respond, he was pushed in.
But when I think of Aunt Hongyu mentioned by the old woman, I feel a little more concerned.
In the yard, a lot of clothes had been hung up to dry. Even Taohong was not idle and was fetching water. When she saw Jiang Shanshan coming back, she snorted, "Have you found someone? Who else can save this poor place?"
we?"
Jiang Shanshan felt a little embarrassed when he saw that their hands were red from the cold.
"Ahem, it's better to seek help from others than from yourself."
pink:"……"
Jiang Shanshan stopped looking at her, stepped forward to take over Jiang Mingxuan's work, and hung the remaining clothes to dry.
Outside the hospital, Hong Yu was leading two little girls, and beside her was Qin's mother who looked dissatisfied. She could only hear her muttering: "Why do you and I need to work together for such a trivial matter? It won't waste time, and I don't know what those two little bastards are doing."
Are you done yet?"
Hongyu paused and didn't say anything.
Walking into the yard, she glanced at the woman who opened the door, and then looked at the people inside.
"Oh, are you really done?" Qin's mother carried the rack over, looked at the clothes to dry critically, suddenly pulled off a piece and threw it on the ground, "What are you washing here? Wash it again."
Seeing that the clothes she had worked so hard to wash were dirty again, Taohong's eyes turned red with anger. She was about to rush forward to argue, but was stopped by Jiang Mingxuan, who was staring coldly at the old godly woman.
"Mother Qin, I advise you not to bully others too much!"
