After the disillusionment of the hope of "Si Xingyi's wife", Gu Qingzhou lost his obsession with cycling.
She doesn't care.
She doesn't need to explain anything to anyone. She has no obligation to anyone who is not his wife.
The road she will take in the future is more clear but firm.
Si Xingpei helped her to deal with Qin Zheng, but he saved him twice, and both of them were life-saving. How can he repay her.
Gu Qingzhou owes him nothing.
Two times to save the grace, he should do more for Gu Qingzhou, also Gu Qingzhou deserved, she need not worry.
After the pressure was gone, Gu Qingzhou's mood improved.
"What's for dinner?" Si Xingpei asked her.
"Fried shelled shrimps with Artemisia." Gu Qingzhou said.
She was still in a good mood when she could think of eating a certain dish. Si Xingyi looked at it carefully and saw that she was really OK, so she didn't study it deeply.
Si Xingpei is very concerned about her, but he is too busy recently to worry about her. He was planning a big event, which occupied all his energy.
Gu Qingzhou was really tired. She sat in front of the fireplace, dried her hair, and then took a nap relying on the sand chair. She almost fell the cashmere blanket around her into the fireplace.
When her hair was completely dry, Si Xingyi carried her to the second floor.
She wakes up in the middle, smiles at Si Xingyi and continues to fall asleep.
There was a relieved smile on her face, very sweet.
She knew to smile in her sleep, so sweet that she was sure she was OK and put her on the bed.
In the afternoon, he had to meet a very important person, so he went out first and told sister-in-law Zhu to cook for Gu Qingzhou: "shrimp should be fresh. Qingzhou's mouth is the most poisonous, and she can eat anything that is a little worse."
"I see, young commander, please go and help yourself." Mrs. Zhu said with a smile, thinking that the young commander was really careful when he hurt people.
When Gu Qingzhou woke up, it was already dusk, and the street lights in the yard were on.
Lying at the window, the rain had already stopped, the courtyard was washed clean, and the leaves of the dwarf holly trees were bright with emerald.
The rain flower stone on the path is full of colorful awns.
Gu Qingzhou stood in front of the window, stunned for a moment, as if he had lost his sense of direction.
She had a heavy hesitation, and it took her a long time to recover.
She changed her clothes and combed her hair, ready to go home.
When she went downstairs, sister Zhu was busy in the kitchen. She had half a table full of hot food.
"Miss Gu, are you awake?" When Zhu Sao turned around, she saw Gu Qingzhou and warmly called her, "sit fast, the meal will be better."
Gu Qingzhou sat at the table and saw the shrimp fried with Artemisia. Her appetite came up. She wanted to eat and then went back.
Soon, Mrs. Zhu brought up the spareribs soup, and all the dishes were ready.
Gu Qingzhou invited sister-in-law Zhu to have some. She couldn't finish it by herself.
Zhu Sao sat next to Gu Qingzhou, chatting with him and having dinner.
Gu Qingzhou had a good time.
"Miss Gu is in a good mood today and has a good meal." Zhu Sao Dao.
Gu Qingzhou has been troubled for more than a month. She is in a good mood.
"Shrimp is delicious." Gu Qingzhou road.
Zhu Sao said: "the young commander let me prepare."
After Gu Qingzhou went home, Si Xingyi didn't come to her again.
Gu Qingzhou is also busy.
She has a plan of her own.
"Brother, do you have any old newspapers over there?" Gu Qingzhou asked, "it's better to be an old newspaper with gossip."
Gu Shaowei was surprised.
"A little bit." Gu shaodao.
Gu Shao likes to collect books. Even old newspapers, when they come to him, should be kept clean and put in the cabinet of the bookshelf.
He opened the cupboard and found a pile of old newspapers.
"... this is nonsense. It's about the affairs of celebrities and senior officials. It's not credible." Gu shaodao, "it was the year before last. Last year, my family didn't subscribe to this newspaper. My father didn't like it very much."
Gu Qingzhou nodded.
She brought them all.
"Zhouzhou, what do you want to read old newspapers?" Gu Shao is curious.
Gu Qingzhou perfunctory: "I find something."
"What are you looking for?" Gu Shao asked, "do you want me to help you find it?"
Gu Qingzhou shook his head: "don't worry, brother. I'll go back first."
She did not care to eat, from morning to night lying in the pile of old newspapers.
When Gu Shao came in, she put a notebook in her hand and copied a lot of things.
The old newspapers of the year before last have been turned over by Gu Qingzhou.
She got something. She got a name.
Gu Qingzhou remembered the name, went out to take a rickshaw, and went to a newspaper called "floating world Evening News".Before she came, Gu Qingzhou dressed up. She wore a sapphire blue cheongsam, a mink coat, and an English lady's hat. The edge of the hat was very wide, with a black silk mesh. The mesh was inlaid with several small ruby.
She painted a big red lip, and the ruby was shining against her delicate jaw.
As soon as she entered the newspaper office, a small editor came up and warmly said, "who are you looking for, madam?"
Gu Qingzhou was dressed like this and covered half of his face with a net. He seemed to be in his teens.
She deliberately lowered her voice and asked, "is Kim man there?"
Jin man is the main writer of the "floating world Evening News", and his story props up 80% of its sales.
Look at this lady. I'm afraid she's here to provide information on the grapevine and want to get out.
"Yes, yes." Small compiler way, and then rushed inside the office shouting, "chief, someone is looking for you."
Kim man is a pseudonym.
What came out was a man in his thirties and seventies. He was slightly old, with a slovenly beard. He was wearing a very old long shirt and half of his sleeve was worn out.
His hair is in a mess.
Suddenly, he saw the fashionable lady looking for him. Jin Man rubbed his messy hair and asked, "madam, what can I do for you?"
"Master Jin, I appreciate your literary talent very much. I have a little story. I wonder if it will catch your eyes?" Gu Qingzhou's voice was even deeper. "It's all about my family."
Looking after the appearance of Qingzhou should be a new upstart.
There are so many ridiculous things about the new school. Sometimes you can't think of breaking the sky.
It's a good thing that some people provide materials. The "floating world Evening News" is for entertainment, not a serious newspaper. The more boastful and novel the story is, the more selling point it has.
"Of course, this lady, please come in." Jin mandao didn't know how enthusiastic he was.
But Gu Qingzhou said, "find a teahouse and talk slowly, OK?"
When they got to the elegant room of the teahouse, Gu Qingzhou found a place by the window, so her face was against the light, and Jin man couldn't see her face clearly.
The boy brought up the tea, and Gu Qingzhou began to tell her story.
Her story is very absurd. It says that her stepmother came to live in her house and had a head and tail with her husband. Now her husband wants to drive her out and marry her stepmother.
Her stepmother first seduced her husband with her 14-year-old stepsister.
"Really?" Jin man was also stunned and felt that the story was very popular.
"Ma'am, can you give me some details? In this way, we can have more evidence to test, increase the credibility, and maybe get a public opinion for you. " Kim man Tao.
Gu Qingzhou looks down.
She kept silent, lowered her head and turned the tea cup in her hand: "I don't want to fight any more. Women in this world can get along even if they are divorced. I want to take a chance in Nanyang. Maybe I can marry an Aboriginal rich man.
I remember you once wrote a story about a famous woman in Hong Kong who was sold to a British inspector by her father. She didn't like the old man and fled from Hong Kong to Yuecheng, then went to the mainland. "
Kim man remembers the story.
He met the woman by accident, and he paid her a fee.
The story was very good. He wrote it in three issues. The sales volume of the last issue of the newspaper increased three times that of the front. The boss was very happy and gave him half a year's salary as a bonus.
"Is that story true?" Gu Qingzhou raised his eyes and asked.
Her voice was soft and her breath was blue. Behind the black silk net, a pair of eyes are particularly bright, like a leopard dormant in the dark, inexplicably palpitating.
"Of course it's true!" Kim man Tao.
"I don't believe it!" Gu Qingzhou said, "her father is an official in Hong Kong, married to her family and is a street inspector. She left from the dock and could not be found."
The story of Jin man is 70% true.
He hates being questioned.
"Ma'am, there are too many holes in the dock. It's too easy for a man to escape from the dock." Kim man Tao.
"It's like Yuecheng. It's hard to walk alone. Is Hong Kong not as good as Yuecheng?" Gu Qingzhou is curious.
Jin man knew that this lady was a housewife and had little insight.
Today, I'm going to give her some insight.
"Ma'am, do you know what kind of boat you are going to take? It's not easy to be checked?" Kim man lowered his voice.
Gu Qingzhou shook his head.
"Silk." Kim man Tao.
Gu Qingzhou deliberately exaggerates and laughs: "is silk very expensive? Why can't silk be checked? "
"This is a self-evident rule of the sea route. Generally, the whole ship is made of silk, which means that opium cream is hidden in it. Those who dare to smuggle opium come to say hello to the leader, and the people at the dock will not make a detailed investigation. " Kim man's voice is lower.
"You know everything?" As soon as Gu Qingzhou's lips were picked, he had a flattery.
Her words are the greatest affirmation of men.Jin man was elated and said, "nature."
"Is it the most convenient way for Yuecheng to go by water Gu Qingzhou asked him.
"No, it's the Chen family." Jin man said, "the Chen family has a relationship with the British. Every time they go to India, they go to opium paste, arms and so on. The military government and the Qing Gang dare not interfere in the Chen family's ships."
Gu Qingzhou chuckled: "I still don't believe it."
Jin man suddenly realized that he was too showy and said what he shouldn't have said. He stopped in a hurry.
As newspaper people, they know a lot of secret information, which can't be said.
But opposite is a woman, and is a very beautiful woman, Jinman also has the man's bad nature, like to show off in front of women.
He said something he shouldn't have said and said with a smile, "I heard that, too."
on the way back to the boat, he sat in the rickshaw and carefully rubbed the lipstick on his lips, with a faint smile on his lips.
Chen Jia!
Yuecheng is really a place with hidden dragon and crouching tiger!
