The Epic Revenge Chapter 181: Search
Sunday also rained all day.
The rain is thin, floating like a hairspring, and it is foggy everywhere. On the courtyard wall of Gu Mansion, those green vines have also lost their broad green leaves, clinging to the wall bare and lifeless.
The raindrops that fell on the milky white railings accumulated little by little. With a breeze, the crystal clear raindrops rolled down and fell on the bluestone path, splashing a crystal-like flower.
Gu Qingzhou sat by the window and wrote and calculated carefully.
She has done all her homework in school. This is her main business, and Gu Qingzhou cannot be wasted.
The homework is not so easy. She sits for six hours without moving, writing all of it carefully.
After finishing her homework, Gu Qingzhou stretched her waist, and found in the closet a slanted quilted shirt with ten kinds of agarwood and a dark green long skirt.
Afraid of getting her shoes wet, she deliberately changed to a pair of leather shoes.
The leather shoes are also dark green, and they are in a line with her skirt, hidden inside the skirt, not abrupt at all.
After getting dressed, Gu Qingzhou went to knock on the second concubine's door.
"...Second wife, I'm going to the bookstore. The school asked me to buy two English novels. I'm going to do an appreciation next month. I just remember it now." Gu Qingzhou said.
The second concubine was reading a magazine in her room when she heard the words: "Do you want me to accompany you?"
"No need, it's raining outside and it's uncomfortable to get wet." Gu Qingzhou said.
The second aunt was also lazy and didn't want to move, so she said, "Well, you can go."
After all, she got up and took two yuan to Gu Qingzhou.
Gu Qingzhou said: "Can the driver, Lao Sun, send me?"
Gu's family has two cars. Except for the one that Gu Guizhang goes to work, the other one is for taking the children to school and taking Qin Zhengzheng out.
The driver Lao Sun is going to send his wife and children off.
"Okay." Second Auntie said happily.
Gu Qingzhou went downstairs, first went to the downside seat where the servants lived, and asked Lao Sun to prepare to drive.
"Miss Qingzhou, do you still want to go out on such a rainy day?" Maid Chen and Gu Qingzhou chatted.
"Yeah, go buy some books." Gu Qingzhou said.
Sister Chen said that girls' families need to read more, and now they are not as good as before.
Rabbling, Gu Qingzhou had no air to talk to them, and Lao Sun parked the car at the door.
Gu Qingzhou got into the car.
Sit firmly, Lao Sun asked Gu Qingzhou: "Miss Qingzhou, where are you going?"
Gu Qingzhou was silent.
"Go to the bookstore south of Notre Dame Road first." Gu Qingzhou said.
Notre Dame Road is next to Gu Mansion, two streets away, and it takes less than fifteen minutes to walk there.
The Gu family is not prominent, so close, the master is not allowed to send it.
Waste oil!
But the other party is Miss Gu Qingzhou, who will be married to the Overseer's Mansion in the future. The servants would also be observant, and the old grandson was the smartest and most cautious. Without saying a word, he drove the car to the bookstore on the south side of Notre Dame Road.
Lao Sun drove slowly, and he arrived in five minutes.
The bookstore is not big, and there are few guests on rainy days. Behind the glass door, the electric light is on. The lights are orange, warm, and there is a kind of plain warmth.
You can vaguely smell the fragrance of ink in the bookstore.
"Miss Qingzhou, it's here." Old Sun said.
Gu Qingzhou didn't get out of the car.
She sits in the back, motionless.
Old Sun is a little strange. He is the driver of the Gu family, and with a meager salary, he dares not offend the ladies and wives, so he does not dare to look back.
The car was quiet, with the light fragrance of roses lingering. But Lao Sun's heart is up and down.
What does this mean?
About two minutes later, Lao Sun said, "Miss Qingzhou, it's here."
He's doing his part, he just doesn't look back. Glancing at the rearview mirror, Gu Qingzhou sat with his arms crossed, with a quiet demeanor, as if he was looking at the old grandson.
Old Sun groaned.
"...I've always been open and aboveboard, and I'm not afraid of my wives and ladies checking." Lao Sun comforted himself.
This kind of psychological warfare lasted for five minutes. At this moment, the old grandson was full of doubts, even tense, and the defense line in his heart was the easiest to step over, so Gu Qingzhou spoke.
"Old Sun, you always take your wife out. Has your wife asked you to park somewhere recently, and then she took another rickshaw to leave?" Gu Qingzhou asked.
Old Sun's scalp is numb.
Really a few times.
However, can such a thing be said? When the driver sent the master out, he knew the movements of the master best. If he was unreliable, he would have been dismissed long ago.
Lao Sun knows very well what he can say and what he can't. He still needs this salary to support his family.
"No, Miss Qingzhou." Lao Sun wanted to say firmly, but his voice trembled involuntarily.
"Old Sun, you're not being honest!" Gu Qingzhou's slender and delicate little hands gently touched her thick bangs, revealing a jade-like forehead, and those bright and cold eyes like ice.
Eyes go over the car seat and pinned to the old sun.
".... Now that the master has quit his job, he will not say that he doesn't like the servant, but only that the servant is not clean, so as not to get a mean reputation and not be able to recruit servants in the future." Gu Qingzhou slanted Leaning on the back of the chair, he said quietly.
This is the truth.
The servants are of low status. People who can afford servants are all well-heeled, and they will have a reputation for being mean and unbearable to resign, and they simply say that the servants are not clean.
Every servant knows, but this bowl of rice still needs to be eaten.
A servant who has been dismissed will basically no one dare to ask for it in the future.
Lao Sun is just a driver, and the driver is 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 for the coolie at the wharf can't support the whole family.
Old Sun was scared to death and didn't know how to provoke this eldest lady.
"Miss Qingzhou, you have a heart of a bodhisattva, don't let me go alone." Lao Sun was so anxious that he almost cried.
If he is fired, what will happen to his family? Do you watch the whole family starve to death?
"I won't let you go, unless I'm taking me to the place where my wife parked and changed 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."
Old Sun thought for a while.
Gu Qingzhou returned home less than a year ago, she is smart and capable, and the master likes her very much.
In the past year, a lot of things have happened. On the surface, the Gu Mansion is still those people, but secretly it has already changed the day.
Compared with Miss Qingzhou, my wife is really bad now.
If the old lady hadn't come, the wife wouldn't even be qualified to eat at the table.
And Miss Qingzhou will be married to the Overseer's Mansion in the future. Maybe she will bring the servant she is used to.
The driver is very important and usually uses a cron. In case she is favored by Miss Gu Qingzhou, she regards Lao Sun as her confidant, and Lao Sun can go to the Governor's Mansion to do things.
The old grandson has no big dreams, he just wants a higher salary and can support all six children.
Old Sun never dared to offend Gu Qingzhou.
"Miss Qingzhou, I'm just a servant." Old Sun still frowned and said nervously, "I took you there today, and I will take others to the place where you used to go tomorrow. This is the servant. , Lao Sun is also immoral."
"Old Sun, I know you are cautious, you can rest assured that when you are my eyes and ears in the future, I will never doubt you. I have always used people without doubt, and I will do what I say." Gu Qingzhou said.
At this point, the old grandson can't do anything about it.
Gu Qingzhou coerced and enticed, and the old Sun weighed it again and again and said, "Miss Qingzhou, you are sitting firmly."
Old Sun took Gu Qingzhou to the south of the city.
This generation in the south of the city is an old city, with old-style houses, wooden doors and windows. People who pass by by chance are all wearing long gowns, and they seem to have returned to the former dynasty.
Old Sun said to Gu Qingzhou: "My wife gets off at this intersection every time, so I don't need to pick me up, and then she takes a rickshaw and goes southeast."
Where to go, Lao Sun doesn't know.
Gu Qingzhou nodded.
"Okay, it's hard work for you, grandson, let's go back." Gu Qingzhou said.
When returning to Notre Dame Road, Gu Qingzhou went to the clock shop and called Si Xingpei's annex.
The one who answered the phone was Si Xingpei's adjutant.
".... Help me find someone." Gu Qingzhou said.
She told the adjutant that Qin Zhengzheng hid a baby, about one and a half years old, in a cumbersome residential building in the old town in the south of the city. The baby girl came in the last six months.
"There are old neighbors nearby, people suddenly came, and they brought a one-and-a-half-year-old child. After all, the child will cry." Gu Qingzhou said, "Help me find the news within a day. , and then ask Mrs. Zhu to call me?"
"Yes, Miss Gu." The adjutant said.
Gu Qingzhou hung up the phone.
Then, she went to the bookstore again and bought two English books.
When she came back, there was no one in the living room, and naturally no one asked where she went.
On the eve of dinner, Gu Qingzhou received a call.
It was Mrs. Zhu who called.
"Ms. Gu, there is an address, please write it down." Sister Zhu smiled.
"So fast?" Gu Qingzhou was surprised, it was less than two hours before and after.
Nancheng District is so big and has a large population...
"Okay, say it." Gu Qingzhou said.
Sister Zhu reported an address.
At the same time, Mrs. Zhu told Gu Qingzhou: "It was a woman with a child, and a man came to deliver food by accident. The adjutant has already entered the door, so he wants to take him away?"
"No, I'll go take a look tomorrow." Gu Qingzhou said.
When she answered the call, the second auntie went downstairs.
The second aunt didn't ask whose phone number, and Gu Qingzhou didn't explain.
During dinner, the fourth concubine suddenly said, "Is there any leftover from yesterday's chicken soup?"
"Half a bowl left." The cook said.
"Send it back to my room for a late night snack," said the fourth concubine.
The cook said yes.
Qin Zhengzheng said with concern: "If you want to eat, ask them to make fresh. It's not difficult to have a chicken a day, but don't leave the rest, it's not good for children."
"It's okay, it's cold now, it won't be bad if you leave it for a day." The fourth aunt smiled.
These words were actually said in front of the whole family.
Qin Zhengzheng's speech is gentle, her attitude is kind, and she is very concerned about the appearance of the fourth concubine.
Second Auntie looked at her and was inexplicably worried: "Are they playing tricks? Why are they all weird recently?"
But the second aunt couldn't figure it out, her eyes were rolling on everyone's faces, she really had no idea, so she had to throw it away.
