Seeking Happiness Chapter 57: Blackmail
This voice...this voice...
Before Gu Xihe had time to turn his head, he felt a pain in his butt, and was kicked severely. He fell into the grass and lay on his stomach.
He cried and covered his butt, and shouted: "Second brother, I was wrong..."
Gu Xiran looked at him condescendingly, with a smile on his face: "It is not sincere to apologize."
"Then... Then last time you found the box of Agarwood I wanted, I will give you another box?"
"Not enough"
"Add a good clay inkstone?"
"I'm sick. I don't need to study, I don't have to test my fame, and I can't even hold the pen. Why do I want an inkstone?"
If I can’t hold the pen, it hurts to kick someone
Gu Xihe sneered a word, but privately discussing Gu Xiran's romantic affairs with Shu Huan, it was indeed a bit inappropriate. He had a guilty conscience, so he had to please the other party with a guilty conscience, so he still smiled shyly: "I caught it last night A white tooth is very powerful, victorious in all battles, should I give it to you?"
Gu Xiran pursed her lips and said, "Do you think I'm as old as you?"
Gu Xihe bitterly: "Then what do you want?"
"Let me think about it." Gu Xiran really thick-skinned pondered.
Invite Du Qiu to be a martial artist. Since Gu Da is at home, Gu Xihe has not found a chance to report to the old prince Ming, so he has to pay for his monthly salary...
Thinking of this, he smiled slightly and said: "Why don't you do this? I promised to pay Du Qiu five taels of silver a month, and you will pay it out from now on."
The "five taels of silver" agarwood was asked for. Gu Xihe didn't feel distressed. Baiyaqing was caught. He didn't feel distressed either. He didn't feel distressed for the silver, but he paid every month without a deadline. , He felt a little pain. Five taels of silver can buy a lot of fun things
Gu Xiran glanced at him: "Can't bear it?"
"Nonsense"
"Go back to the old lady to discuss it, so I said to find a martial artist near the other courtyard."
Gu Xihe opened his eyes wide: "Second brother, it's too much for you to take advantage of the old lady..."
Gu Xiran looked at him with a smile: "What is it?"
"Too sophisticated"
"Fool" Gu Xiran stretched out his hand and knocked over: "Let you study more and not listen. You can't even flatter."
……
Speaking of martial arts, someone in charge came to inform that Doctor Ji and Master Du had got off the car outside the door, and brought an old lady with them, asking them if they arranged their accommodation as ordered last night.
Gu Xiran nodded in response, and instructed the steward to send two maids over to serve, and then greeted them with Gu Xihe. Only when they were on the way, they met the person led by Ranmo and came in. Ji Danqing was still azure. The bamboo cloth robe is clear and gentle, but Du Qiu has changed into a neat black outfit, which makes the original ordinary appearance bright and sassy. It will only be revealed when he turns his eyes to the old woman holding by his hand. A three-pointer came out of gentleness that was inconsistent with his temperament.
Seeing them welcoming, Ji Danqing arched his hands first, showing a gentle smile: "Zai Xia was embarrassed to come over and chatter, but this old lady is not healed, Brother Du is not at ease, so he must come with him. I had no choice but to come over cheeky and steal two days of leisure, so don’t be surprised by the second master."
Gu Xiran smiled and said: "Doctor Ji has spoken out about it, and my sick body also asks you to help the patient. If you do not come, even if I ask someone to tie you, I will tie you."
The mother Du over there was quietly asking Du Qiu about Gu Xiran's identity, and when she knew that he was Du Qiu’s owner, she hurriedly stepped forward to thank you, her gratitude was overwhelming, and she said, "If it wasn't for the grandpa to invite this Ji The doctor sees the sick for the old man, and the old man is afraid there will be no chance of getting better."
After a few words of greeting, just to take care of the two maids over here, Gu Xiran saw Du's mother showing a look of fatigue, thinking it was a hard journey, so I stopped talking, let the maids take them back to the room to rest first .
The streamer hurriedly threw people away.
As soon as it flickered, half a month passed. As no one was stuck, Shu Huan wandered around in the other yard when she was free, feeling the road all over, but after seeing the courtyard scene, she was finally bored After seeing Gu Xiran busy learning martial arts with Du Qiu every day, she seemed to be very interested. She got up every day before dawn and went out. She suddenly felt that learning martial arts was a good idea. You can run away at any moment, so I moved the idea of learning together.
Fortunately, she kept a mindful mind beforehand. She didn't directly say she wanted to learn, but secretly observed for two days. It turned out that Du Qiu's kung fu is very powerful, and she can swipe a bowl with one leg. You can split a small piece of rock with a single palm, but it is very different from the superb abilities in the martial arts novels she imagined. Even if it’s flying over the wall, it has to rely on tools. You can’t jump to several feet high. Not to be able to stretch out a finger casually, just tap the acupuncture points to make people unable to move.
The content of martial arts novels, after all, is mostly fabricated, deifying the power of Kung Fu, and Shu Huan knows that Du Qiu is already very powerful, and the kung fu that can sweep through wooden stakes and split rocks, if it is applied to people , The result is conceivable, but seeing Gu Xiran practicing the basic kung fu every day, she was stunned, and Gu Xihe turned black when she mentioned martial arts training, she had no perseverance to shrink back, after all, she used to go to sports. In class, running 800 meters can make her vomit blood. Let her get up and run three laps around the small lake outside the courtyard every morning, and then split piles, squat, and climb mountains and water. She will feel that life is a piece of cake. dark.
Since martial arts training is not successful, and the long summer has no way of entertainment, she has to pick up her old profession and touch agarwood to carve things, whether it is a bracelet or a waist pendant, a hairpin or a toy, anyway, there is a novelty The idea is carved out. One can kill the time. Second, after staying in Gu’s house for a long time, she knows that human relationships are essential, but she has no valuable jewelry, and only has a dozen or two months of money to accumulate every month, much less like a big nanny The family is rich and accompanied by countless dowries, so I have to rely on my own efforts to carve some exquisite and pleasing things, such as the long hibiscus flower hairpin, the hanging life character pendant, etc., ready to be given away.
However, if only this is the case, it is still not enough for human relations. Agarwood is a precious spice. Carved things are used to give gifts to the elders. It is new and not shabby, but if it is used to reward people, she will even have a house of Agarwood. It's not enough. Of course, she can also refuse to reward. No one dares to say anything in person, but there are a lot of sarcasm in the back, from her origin to her looks, from her looks to her character, in short. What kind of talk will be. She couldn't hear it, but Meijing heard it many times, and felt quite angry about it~IndoMTL.com~Two times, she even quarreled with others, and finally came back crying.
Shu Huan is casual, very accustomed to a life of contentment. If it was in the past, if others say what they say, she will still eat her, drink her and sleep her, and live her life well. To let her please those who slander and slander her, it is no idea, but after passing through, she has seen the complexity inside the house, and now she knows the truth about how the Hades is so annoying and the little ghosts are difficult to deal with. The two words of slurping gold and accumulating bones are enough to make her hot.
Therefore, even if she doesn't have to deliberately try to please the offenders, she still needs to learn the methods of **** and Aunt Yun, and appropriately reward two money to go out, with limited economic losses, in exchange for unlimited peace and peace.
It's just that, here comes the question, where should I find these essential expenses?
