The Epic Revenge Chapter 109: Calculations in the kitchen
Someone sent grapes to Gu's mansion, and the roll call was for Gu Qingzhou, either the Yan family or the Si family.
"Who gave it?" Gu Guizhang asked, whether it was from the Yan family or the Si family.
Gu Qingzhou stretched out his head and glanced at the basket.
A very ordinary bamboo basket, even a bit old; the basket is not big, the grapes are just over half, and it is too small, and the sales are quite satisfactory.
There are not many grapes, and the quality is ordinary. It is definitely not sent by the Yan family or the Si family.
Gu Qingzhou rolled his eyes and pointed it out directly: "This is strange. If it was given by the adoptive mother or the old lady, I would definitely ask the adjutant to bring it in, and it is not enough for our whole family to eat."
Gu Guizhang thought about it and agreed.
There aren't too many grapes. The Yan family and the Si family wouldn't do such a thing.
Besides, they will all be adjutants, and no matter how bad it is, there will be servants, and they will not be sent to the door for no reason.
"I can't guess who sent it." Gu Qingzhou said.
Gu Guizhang was also confused.
He called the servant in and asked who sent it: "What kind of person does it look like?"
"It's a person who seems to be a porter. He occasionally delivered food to the mansion. He said that someone knew that he was delivering food to Gu Mansion, so he ordered him to deliver it. I only assumed that Miss Qingzhou knew about it and didn't ask any further questions. ." The servant said.
Gu Guizhang waved his hand, confirming that it was not a gift from the Yan family or the Si family, and was slightly disappointed.
Qin Zhengzheng said with a smile: "It's always a kindness of others. Since it's a food delivery, when he comes back tomorrow, ask him to find out."
Gu Guizhang nodded.
He didn't pay attention to a little snack, and was going to let the cook take it down and wash it.
A few ripples flashed in Gu Zhang's eyes, and he said with a smile: "The light boat runs outside every day, is it a gift from a friend I know?"
"It's hard to say." Gu Qingzhou's expression didn't change, he didn't look at Gu Huang, but looked into Gu Guizhang's eyes, calmly and with a bit of confidence, "I do know one or two friends."
Gu Guizhang has been partial to Gu Qingzhou recently, to the point of outrageous. In addition to the glory that Gu Qingzhou has brought him and made him a guest of the military government, his fourth concubine has been blowing the pillow all day, boasting The benefits of Gu Qingzhou.
Gu Guizhang feels that among all the children, only Gu Qingzhou can sell at a good price and bring him glory!
How can this not hurt her?
Gu Zhang's slightly pointed words imply that Gu Qingzhou is unruly outside and makes messy friends. Gu Guizhang listened harshly, and immediately said with a straight face: "A friend sends food, this is the love of others!"
Then looked at Gu Xiang, "Eating can't stop your hearts?"
Warning Gu Huang is also a warning to everyone.
Gu Zhang was choked up, unable to speak any longer, feeling helpless and aggrieved.
Everyone stopped talking.
The servant took the grapes to the kitchen, washed them, and brought them up.
Gu Qingzhou ate one and felt that the sour taste was too sweet, so he didn't like it.
Others also felt that after everyone tried it, they gave up.
Only the fourth aunt liked it so much that she ate half the plate by herself.
Gu Guizhang held the tea and watched his fourth concubine eat so much, he said, "Sour girl, Xiangxue is afraid to give birth to a son for me!"
The fourth aunt smiled and passed her eyes, infinitely charming.
Qin Zhengzheng also came up and said a few words.
Gu Qingzhou sat alone on the corner of the sofa, looking at the grapes in the saucer, and then at Qin Zhengzheng, thinking a little.
"These grapes are to be given to me by name, and the fourth aunt likes to eat them." Gu Qingzhou thought about it, "What are you going to do?"
Gu Qingzhou guessed that the grapes were arranged by Qin Zhengzheng, because friends Gu Qingzhou knew would not send things anonymously, so there was no need to be so sneaky.
It's Qin Zhengzheng doing the trick.
The price of grapes with poor quality is not low. Qin Zhengzheng was reluctant to buy a whole basket, so he bought half a basket.
"The grapes are washed and the whole family will eat them. Qin Zhengzheng can't possibly poison the grapes. She hasn't gotten so mad yet." Gu Qingzhou thought again, "Then why did she spend this money?"
It's related to Gu Qingzhou, not necessarily to calculate Gu Qingzhou.
Gu Qingzhou glanced at the fourth concubine who was still full of interest: "Maybe, Qin Zhengzheng's goal this time is the fourth concubine? So, frame me, or use me to divert her attention?"
Remembering Qin Zhengzheng's forbearance the day before yesterday, Gu Qingzhou felt that Qin Zhengzheng took advantage of the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, targeting two people--Gu Qingzhou and the fourth concubine.
After the fourth concubine was pregnant, Gu Guizhang obeyed her.
Qin Zhengzheng found that the fourth concubine had no conscience, and even helped Gu Qingzhou and Qin Zhengzheng's mother and daughter to fight against each other many times.
If the fourth concubine gave birth to a son again, her position would be more stable, and she would ride Qin Zhengzheng's neck in the future.
Gu Qingzhou guessed that Qin Zhengzheng would never allow the fourth concubine to give birth to the child.
Gu Qingzhou also bumped into Qin Zhengzheng going to the kitchen yesterday, and today is delivering grapes again. This must have something to do with the food.
Poisoned?
How to download?
When the whole family eats together, the fourth concubine is even more cautious. She usually does not have meals alone. She eats what the master eats.
Gu Qingzhou pondered Qin Zhengzheng's intentions in her heart, and she remained calm.
Over there, Qin Zhengzheng spoke.
"...Master, I heard something about the engagement of the lady of the Si family the day before yesterday." Qin Zhengzheng smiled.
Gu Guizhang asked: "What's the matter?"
"Qingzhou's medical skills are very good, do you know this?" Qin Zhengzheng asked.
Gu Guizhang was stunned.
Gu Qingzhou cured Mrs. Si, Mrs. Yan, and Huo Yue.
But these people have no particularly close contacts with the Gu family, and they have no mutual friends. No one passed this on to Gu Guizhang.
Gu Guizhang really doesn't know.
Qin Zhengzheng also happened to hear it the day before yesterday.
She told Gu Qingzhou what she heard, adding fuel to it, and described Gu Qingzhou as a genius doctor.
"Last year in the twelfth lunar month of last year, when I went to the Governor's Mansion, it's no wonder that Huanghang said that the light boat broke her hand and took it back to her. It turns out that she really has such ability." Qin Zhengzheng hated her tightly.
They all underestimate Gu Qingzhou.
She told Gu Guizhang about Gu Qingzhou's medical skills.
Gu Guizhang is funny: "Qingzhou is a child who knows medicine? Who are you listening to?"
He doesn't believe it.
Qin Zhengzheng must make him believe it, so he said: "It was said by the wife of a military government official. If you don't believe it, go and find out."
Gu Guizhang believed 30%.
He asked Gu Qingzhou: "Is this true?"
Gu Qingzhou smiled: "I only know how to get some fur, it's the old lady who lifts me up."
Gu Guizhang didn't care, he just thought it was the Si family bragging about Gu Qingzhou, so he didn't bother to ask.
The weather was clear, the sky was cloudless, and the hot sun shone down from the lush treetops, casting golden halos.
It's hotter.
When the weather is hot, everyone has no appetite.
"I can make a few vegetable and fruit salads." Qin Zhengzheng laughed, "Let's change the taste too?"
Salad is used in western food and is highly regarded by the Gu family.
"When did you learn to make salad?" Gu Guizhang asked, "Then can you make steak?"
"I'm learning, salad is easier after all." Qin Zheng said.
Afterwards, Qin Zhengzheng said again: "Master, the children have grown up, why don't I teach them to make salads, and then take turns making them for the master every night, so that they will be filial piety."
"Alright." Gu Guizhang was satisfied and in a good mood.
Gu Qingzhou understood everything at this time. Qin Zhengzheng went to the kitchen again, sent grapes, and praised Gu Qingzhou's medical skills. The original purpose was here.
After knowing what to do, Gu Qingzhou remained calm.
In the afternoon, she, Gu Ying and Gu Ying followed Qin Zhengzheng to learn how to make salad.
"Mom, I don't want to eat grass, and I'm not a cow." Gu Ying was reluctant.
Qin Zhengzheng glared at her.
Gu Qingzhou calmly began to wash the chicory leaves, and then learned to make Western salads.
On the first night, Qin Zhengzheng made it himself and served it to the dinner table.
The people in the Gu family all have their original appetites. They think a **** vegetable salad is far less delicious than a cold dish.
But Gu Guizhang advocates Western culture. He endured the scalp to eat grass, and everyone didn't dare to gossip, so he ate it.
After eating, Gu Zhang also praised Qin Zhengzheng: "Mum's salad is delicious. Eat some vegetable salad in hot weather, it is refreshing and easy to digest. Dad, don't you think so?"
"That's true." Gu Guizhang said.
"Then I'll make it for Dad tomorrow." Gu Zhang smiled.
Gu Qingzhou smiled and ate grass silently.
The next day, Gu Qingzhou went to the bank. She took out fifty yuan and went to a smoke shop in the city.
This smokehouse is luxuriously decorated, with a tall gatehouse and gorgeous stained glass.
There are many smoke halls. Gu Qingzhou wears an old-fashioned long dress of summer cloth, a moon-white mid-sleeve slanted cardigan, and her hair is braided, like a young girl in the Qing Dynasty.
The steward of the smokehouse saw her and looked at her suspiciously.
A woman who smokes opium, both old-fashioned and fashionable.
"Miss, are you here alone?" Seeing that the visitor is a guest, the guy will lead Gu Qingzhou in.
Gu Qingzhou waved his hand: "I heard that Jiu Ye often comes here, I wonder if Jiu Ye is going to work today?"
Jiu Ye is Xijiu, the first manager of Huo Yue's side. This smoke shop is the largest smoke shop in the Green Gang, and Xijiu comes here every Wednesday to discuss matters.
"Go, go, where's the hairy kid from, make trouble!" When the guy heard that she wanted to see Jiu Ye, he immediately blasted her out.
Did Jiu Ye meet casually?
Who wouldn't want to see Jiuye in the whole of Yuecheng?
The bodyguards around Jiuye are like clouds. Even the manager of this smoke shop can't get close to Jiuye. Where did this little girl come from, thinking that she could see Jiuye casually?
"Then go and tell Jiu Ye that Miss Gu wants to see him." Gu Qingzhou said again.
The little guy naturally refused and tried to drive her away.
Gu Qingzhou didn't leave.
The guests watched the excitement and surrounded Gu Qingzhou curiously.
At this moment, Xi Jiu went downstairs.
Xi Jiu was born sharp, and was afraid that someone would try to kill him in troubled waters. Seeing the commotion, he looked over like a torch and saw Gu Qingzhou.
Xi Jiu was shocked and hurriedly said to the people around him: "Quick, go and invite that lady up!"
The little guy was rushing Gu Qingzhou away, but the people around Jiuye said, "Miss Gu, Jiuye, please go upstairs and talk."
The guy nearly dropped his jaw.
Emotional, does this little girl really know Jiu Ye?
The spectators were also stunned.
"Who is this? The ninth master actually asked her to go upstairs to talk. It seems to be a big deal."
"I don't know, I see that girl is graceful and has a high status."
The young man was even more surprised. When he watched Gu Qingzhou go upstairs, Jiu Ye greeted him with a smile on his face.
The little guy almost got weak legs: Where is this big Buddha, let Jiu Yexun downgrade to welcome him?
Gu Qingzhou doesn't know the little guy's mind.
Arriving at the private room, Xijiu asked respectfully and surprised: "Miss Gu, these smokehouses are the most unsafe, why are you here?"
"I made a special trip to find you." Gu Qingzhou said, "I have something to trouble you!"
