The Epic Revenge Chapter 40: Have a plan
Someone knocked on the door, but said nothing, Gu Qingzhou was a little frightened for a while.
Somehow, she thought of Si Xingpei.
Does that fellow dare not break into her house in the daytime?
Gu Qingzhou has lived for sixteen years, and the only thing he has ever been afraid of is Si Xingpei. Whether it is his cruelty or his kiss, Gu Qingzhou shudders.
Once bitten by a snake for three years, he was afraid of the rope. Gu Qingzhou was always worried about Si Xingpei.
She really hopes that there is a man who can compete with Si Xingpei and marry her back home.
At the same time, I thought that a man who can compete with Si Xingpei is not worthy of him at all, and being married back is also a concubine.
It's better to be a concubine than to die!
Gu Qingzhou thought about it and carefully opened the door.
After the door was opened, it was Miao'er, the third concubine's maid, with refreshments in her hand: "Miss Qingzhou, the master has not come back yet, the kitchen will open later, I will bring you some snacks to fill it up, please bear with me for a while. Two hours."
After speaking, Miao'er gave Gu Qingzhou another look.
Gu Qingzhou immediately understood everything.
This Miaoer, silent, scared Gu Qingzhou to death.
"This is a camera." Miao'er covered a camera with a tray from under her apron.
Gu Qingzhou took it over.
"The third concubine said that this camera is worth more than 100 yuan and is very expensive. If Miss Qingzhou doesn't know how to use it, she can go to the photo studio to learn it, and don't break it; there is a roll of tape in it, you Save some pictures." Miao'er whispered.
Cameras are a luxury, and cameras costing more than 100 yuan are even more expensive.
In the entire Yuecheng, regardless of whether it is an official or a worker, the bank president has the highest monthly salary, one hundred and twenty yuan a month. Just like Gu Qingzhou's father, Gu Guizhang, he is the deputy chief of the customs yamen, and his monthly salary is 80 yuan.
Of course, Gu Guizhang's gray income is more than ten times his monthly salary, and his monthly income is quite large. If an official only depends on his monthly salary to eat, he will starve to death.
These just mean that a camera that costs more than 100 yuan is a real luxury. Miao'er is very worried that Gu Qingzhou will break it, because Gu Qingzhou and the third wife together can't afford to pay.
The third concubine borrowed this camera and used Gu Guizhang's name. If it broke, Gu Guizhang would have to kill the third concubine.
"Don't worry, I won't break it." Gu Qingzhou said, carefully putting it away.
She can use a camera, Zhang Chuchu has one, and Gu Qingzhou often helps her take pictures.
Zhang Chuchu even has the potion to wash photos. Speaking of fashion and elegance, Zhang Chuchu, the wife of the former leader of the gang in Shanghai, is probably richer than any noble lady in Yuecheng.
Gu Qingzhou was fascinated by Zhang Chuchu and saw everything.
All the people in the Gu family combined are not as noble as Zhang Chuchu. What Gu Qingzhou has learned and played, the whole Gu family is still inferior.
After sending Miao'er away, Gu Qingzhou put away the camera.
In the early morning of the next day, Gu Qingzhou went out on an excuse to visit Mrs. Si.
The family was restless, and no one pursued Gu Qingzhou's whereabouts. After she went, she didn't come back until evening, her handbag was bulging, and she didn't know what was hidden.
Gu Qingzhou walked upstairs quickly.
Soon, she heard Gu Guizhang's roar from the study on the second floor.
Gu Guizhang is back.
As soon as he came back, everyone in the family held their breath, not wanting to be the first bird.
Gu Guizhang went around asking for relationships. After two days of activities, he got nothing and spent a lot of money. He was so angry that he scolded Qin Zhengzheng again.
"I'm so disappointed in you!" Gu Guizhang scolded.
It's not that Gu Guizhang didn't regret it when he straightened Qin Zhengzheng. The couple often stumbled and stumbled, and Gu Guizhang was sometimes annoyed, but then forgot about it.
However, he has never regretted it as much as he is now, and his bowels are turning green. He was desperate for Qin Zhengzheng!
How not to despair?
His wife, obviously should be modest and reserved, become his virtuous inner helper, help his career advancement step by step, educate his children well, and help them become talents.
As a result, it was just a small matter like going home in a light boat, a little test, Qin Zhengzheng made many mistakes, and even made Gu Guizhang take care of the aftermath for her.
During dinner, Qin Zhengzheng was forced to show up, the finger marks on his cheeks had disappeared, but his eyes were so puffy. Compared with the two concubines, the old state suddenly appeared.
"Master, I heard about the third and fourth misses studying." The second aunt, Taibai, interrupted the silence at the dinner table.
Second Auntie was born in Yue Opera, and her gestures often have the charm of singing, reciting, sitting, and playing, which is extraordinarily charming and enchanting.
"...Master, you've lost weight by running around so much, why don't you forget it." Mrs. 2 said.
Qin Zhengzheng was furious and pointed to the second wife: "What did you say?"
"Isn't it?" The second concubine's eyes narrowed slightly, and she shrank to Gu Guizhang's side without losing her sharpness, "My wife has done something wrong, but I want the master to spend money and put it on the face, it's the ladies who study the most important thing. , or does it matter, sir?"
Gu Guizhang listened, and the eyes that fell on the second concubine were somewhat relieved.
Qin Zhengzheng was frightened half to death when she saw it, for fear that Gu Guizhang would really give up her daughters, she jumped up again: "Master, this is absolutely impossible, you have raised them for so many years, are you going to fall short of success? Is it?"
The third and fourth also cried, and stepped forward to pull Gu Guizhang's arm: "Dad, you won't let us drop out of school, will you?"
"Abba, it really doesn't work, you can send us to the UK to study in advance, my sister also went to the UK at the age of thirteen." Gu Wei said.
Gu Guizhang felt a little pained when he thought about the cost of his eldest daughter going to England.
He's been short on money these past few years, and he only intends to send his son Gu Shao to France, not Gu Wei and Gu Ying. Hearing this, Gu Guizhang's mouth twitched: It seems that the only way to go is the church school, and we must fight for it.
"Shut up!" Gu Guizhang was so upset by the noise, he smashed a small bone china plate with a lotus flower, and the broken china splashed all over the floor.
The dining room suddenly fell silent.
Everyone was nervous, only Gu Qingzhou was calm and relaxed, and there was no panic.
Gu Guizhang was cruel, so he could only push this daughter out and let her try.
"Qingzhou, you go upstairs with me." Gu Guizhang got up and said to Gu Qingzhou.
Gu Qingzhou always looks soft and submissive. She put down the carved silver spoon, whispered, "Yes", and followed Gu Guizhang to the study on the second floor.
Gu Guizhang sat behind a large old-fashioned rosewood desk and began to smoke.
The scent of cigars is refreshing in the mist.
Gu Qingzhou gently stroked the lines of the desk, thinking, "Such a good antique desk must be my grandfather's stuff. The Gu family doesn't have such a heritage."
In this Gu Mansion, the slightly more decent furniture, supplies, and even property were left by Gu Qingzhou's grandfather, and now Gu Guizhang has it as his own.
Gu Guizhang thought that Gu Qingzhou was nervous, so he touched the desk.
He smoked half a cigar before he said, "Qingzhou, you also know about the family affairs. If you were involved in your studies, Dad couldn't bear it."
Gu Qingzhou sneered in his heart, but his eyes were as gentle as a little sheep.
She is silent.
She knew very well what Gu Guizhang was going to say next. Everything is within Gu Qingzhou's plan.
Let the wind and waves rise, Gu Qingzhou sits firmly on the Diaoyutai and waits for the harvest.
