Chapter 7 - see you again
It was Gu Qingzhou’s idea to hold a dance at the Overseer’s Mansion.
She wanted the Overseer’s wife to admit that she was the fiancée of the Second Young Master of the Overseer’s House in front of the city’s dignitaries.
As for withdrawing from relatives in the future, Gu Qingzhou promised to let the second young master take the initiative and abandon her.
The Overseer’s wife thought it strange at first, and she would not admit it publicly.
But Gu Qingzhou said something.
“You admit that Er Shao raised his fiancée in the countryside, how should the world praise you for your splendor?” Gu Qingzhou encouraged the Overseer’s wife, “Two years later, let the young marshal find an excuse to retire, and then the world will only say, ‘ In the end, she is a country girl, and she has no knowledge, so how can she be worthy of a young marshal?
You see, you and the young marshal attach great importance to friendship and righteousness, and your reputation will only increase, not decrease. You will be more respected by the people, and the young marshal will be respected by the soldiers!
In the past two years, I have promised to keep a low profile and not cause trouble, and I will not use the name of the Overseer’s House to smear your face. You can trust me.
You openly acknowledge me and we win. The young marshal married ten or eight concubines, all of which are men’s elegance. You admit my identity without delaying the young marshal’s style, flow, and happiness. He is also willing. “
Gu Qingzhou is really good at scheming, and in one sentence, he pointed out all the considerations and concerns of the Overseer’s wife.
The Overseer’s wife thought about it, and she felt that what Gu Qingzhou said was very reasonable, so she agreed.
In order to make Gu Qingzhou look more decent, the Overseer’s wife even took the initiative to send a dress to Gu Qingzhou.
This was custom-made in Italy, and it was originally a birthday gift for the second lady of the Overseer’s House.
The Overseer’s wife estimated Gu Qingzhou’s figure, which was about the same size as the second lady, and asked someone to bring him to Gu’s house.
The Gu family exploded.
Everyone looked at Gu Qingzhou in shock, including Gu Guizhang.
Didn’t you say quitting?
Retiring from relatives, do you still need to dress up Gu Qingzhou?
Qin Zhengzheng and Gu Zhang also felt bad, their faces turned purple, especially Gu Zhang, who hurriedly looked at Qin Zhengzheng, hoping to find comfort from his mother’s face.
But Qin Zhengzheng’s face was even more ugly.
The aunt and the second aunt sneered, gloating over the misfortune, and approached Gu Qingzhou: “Look at this dress, it was airlifted from Italy, and the Overseer’s House is indeed rich! Miss Qingzhou, you will be rich in the future, but don’t forget your mother’s family.”
Gu Qingzhou smiled, not disturbed by the words of the two concubines, she said, “you have misunderstood.”
Qin Zhengzheng also took over the dress.
Unfortunately, the size is not suitable for the tall Gu Zhang, so he can only wear it by Gu Qingzhou.
Qin Zhengzheng gritted his teeth with hatred: “Didn’t you say quitting the marriage, why did the commander’s wife send you clothes?”
She pressed in front of everyone.
“I don’t know either.” Gu Qingzhou looked blank.
Gu Qingzhou’s simplicity and dazedness showed the greedy faces of Qin Zhengzheng and Gu Xiang. And Qin Zhengzheng’s pressing question is even more covert.
Gu Guizhang couldn’t bear it any longer. Seeing the ugly state of his wife and daughter, he angrily said, “Go back to the house!”
Gu Qingzhou hugged her dress and went back to the house.
Customs Yamen is closed today.
Gu Guizhang was at home all day, the room was quiet, even Gu San, who was crying in pain after the anesthesia, just bit his lip and shed tears, not daring to make any noise.
When it was about lunch, Gu Qingzhou went downstairs and said to Gu Guizhang, who was sitting in the living room reading a newspaper: “Abba, I… I entered the city for the first time, I don’t know what the city looks like, I can go out and have a look. ?”
Gu Guizhang was upset.
He raised his head and touched a pair of watery eyes, so clear that they could even reflect his own shadow.
In that reflection, he saw a stalwart father, who was him in the eyes of his daughter.
Gu Guizhang still remembered that Qingzhou had very flexible eyes when she was a child. Li Ma, the wet nurse who took care of her, said that Qingzhou was very precocious.
The past events came to his mind one after another, and Gu Guizhang felt that he couldn’t help her, and his heart rarely softened: “Let your sister accompany you…”
After all, it feels wrong again.
Her elder sister, Gu Huang, is worried about the hopelessness of robbing her of her marriage, so how can she treat her kindly?
Her two younger sisters killed her with scissors in the middle of the night.
In short, this home should be a den of tigers and wolves to her.
“…Sister Chen!” Gu Guizhang called the servant.
A woman in her thirties, wearing a dark blue coarse cardigan, entered the living room.
Sister Chen is kind and kind, and is in charge of the food in the Gu family’s kitchen.
Gu Qingzhou got up early and chatted with her. She liked Gu Qingzhou very much.
“Sister Chen, you take Miss Qingzhou to the streets. Just go to the streets near us to eat coffee, watch a movie, and buy two sets of clothes, shoes and socks.” Gu Guizhang said.
After all, Gu Guizhang took out three pink cash from the wallet and handed them to Mrs. Chen.
Thirty dollars!
Thirty yuan is enough for the family’s living expenses for half a month. Master is so generous today!
Sister Chen quickly wiped her hands, took the banknotes, and said yes with joy.
She changed into some clean clothes and took Gu Qingzhou out.
Gu Qingzhou thanked: “Abba, then I’m leaving!”
Her voice was soft and soft, more like the daughter Gu Guizhang imagined – a daughter should be gentle like water, but what about the three in his family?
With the comparison, Qingzhou is more in line with Gu Guizhang’s mind.
Gu Qingzhou followed Sister Chen out.
They called a rickshaw at the door first.
“Go to Notre Dame Road.” Sister Chen said to the driver, turned her head and said to Gu Qingzhou, “Miss Qingzhou, there is a movie theater on Notre Dame Road, and there is a coffee shop across from it. You can not only eat coffee, but also dance.”
“I won’t…” Gu Qingzhou smiled softly.
“You can learn it.” Sister Chen encouraged her.
Two rickshaws, one behind the other.
Sister Chen’s rickshaw is at the front, and Gu Qingzhou’s is at the back. After running for about ten minutes, the street was a little chaotic, all the cars were crowded together, and Gu Qingzhou’s rickshaw was left behind.
At this time, an Austin car suddenly approached her rickshaw.
Two tall and sturdy men got on and off the car and stopped the rickshaw.
The driver stopped, Gu Qingzhou was slightly surprised.
The long leg of a military boot stretched out from the car and landed steadily, and the tall and dignified man got out of the car.
He was wearing a blue-blue gale cloak, a dark suit and vest, leaned slightly, put his hands on the rickshaw, and leaned over to look at Gu Qingzhou: “Little thief, it’s not easy to find you!”
That man — the man on the train!
Gu Qingzhou’s heart jumped: he knew she stole the Browning, so he called her a thief.
“Who are you?” Gu Qingzhou quickly calmed down and pretended not to admit it, “I haven’t seen you!”
The man laughed and grabbed her arm: “Let’s go and show you me!”
Without any explanation, he pulled Gu Qingzhou off the rickshaw and put it into his car.
The man’s arms were strong and strong, and he almost lifted Gu Qingzhou up, but Gu Qingzhou couldn’t break free.
The car drove away quickly.
The car was filled with the cool breath of men and the fragrance of cigarettes. The man lit a cigar as soon as he got into the car, the smoke was lingering, his deep eyes narrowed, and he couldn’t see anything.
Gu Qingzhou clenched his fists tightly.
She was about to say something when the man dropped the cigar and carried her to his lap.
He embraced her slender back, rubbed her waist, and put his face beside her: “Little thief, where’s my Browning? You are so brave, you dare to steal that stuff?”
“I don’t know what you said!” Gu Qingzhou gritted his teeth and struggled to get down, but he was held tighter by him.
His lips and teeth saw the refreshing fragrance of the cigar, and his lips were slightly dry and cold.
Gu Qingzhou tried to hide.
“Don’t admit it?” The man whispered, “It’s okay, let’s go to dinner first, it’s time to eat, let’s talk slowly after dinner!”
“I want to go home!”
“After dinner, I’ll take you home, your mom and dad won’t blame you.” The man said firmly.
She said no, and he moved closer, almost kissing her.
Gu Qingzhou couldn’t dodge in time, so he accepted him first.
It’s just that Sister Chen was dying of anxiety.
