Someone sent grapes to Gu's residence. The roll call was for Gu Qingzhou, either Yan's family or Si's family.
"Who sent it?" Gu Guizhang asked whether it was sent by the Yan family or the Si family.
Gu Qingzhou stretched out his head and looked into the basket.
A very common small bamboo basket, even a little old; The basket is not big, the grapes are just over half, and they are small, so the sales difference is strong.
There are not many grapes, and the quality is ordinary. They are not sent by Yan family or Si family.
Gu Qingzhou's eyes moved and directly pointed out: "it's strange. If it's sent by the adoptive mother or the old lady, you must ask the adjutant to bring it in, and it's not enough for our whole family."
Gu Guizhang thought and thought so.
There aren't too many grapes. The Yan Family and the Si family won't do such a thing.
Besides, they will all be adjutants. No matter how bad it is, they will also have servants who will not be sent to the door for no reason.
"I can't guess who sent it." Gu Qingzhou road.
Gu Guizhang was also confused.
He called the servant in and asked who sent it: "what kind of person is it?"
"It's a man who looks like a porter. He occasionally sent vegetables to the family. He said that someone knew that he sent vegetables to Gu residence, so he told him to send them. I only knew it as Miss Qingzhou, and didn't ask deeply." Said the servant.
Gu Guizhang waved his hand and determined that it was not given by Yan's family or Si's family. He was slightly disappointed.
Qin Zheng said with a smile, "it's always the kindness of others. Since it's the vegetable delivery, ask him when he comes back tomorrow."
Gu Guizhang nodded.
He didn't pay attention to some snacks and was ready to let the cook take them down and wash them.
Gu Xiang's eyes flashed a few ripples, smiled and said, "the boat runs outside every day. Will it be a gift from a friend you know?"
"It's hard to say." Gu Qingzhou looked the same. Instead of looking at Gu Xiang, he looked into Gu Guizhang's eyes, calm and confident. "I also know one or two friends."
Gu Guizhang's recent bias towards Gu Qingzhou has reached a heinous level. In addition to the honor Gu Qingzhou has brought to him and made him a guest of honor of the military government, his fourth aunt has been blowing the pillow all day, praising the benefits of Gu Qingzhou.
Gu Guizhang felt that among all his children, only Gu Qingzhou could sell at a good price and bring him glory!
How can it not hurt her?
Gu Xiang's words suggested that Gu Qingzhou was unruly outside and made messy friends. Gu Guizhang immediately raised his face and said, "it's the kindness of others to have friends give food!"
Then he looked at Gu Xiang and said, "can't you stop eating?"
Warning Gu Xiang is also warning everyone.
Gu Xiang choked and couldn't speak any more. He was weak and oppressed.
Everyone stopped talking.
The servant took the grapes to the kitchen, washed them and brought them up.
Gu Qingzhou ate one. He thought it was too sour to be sweet. He didn't like it.
Others also felt that everyone tasted it and gave up one after another.
Only the fourth aunt liked it so much that she ate half a plate alone.
Gu Guizhang held tea and looked at his fourth aunt eating happily. He said, "sour son, spicy daughter, Xiangxue is afraid to give me a son!"
The fourth aunt smiled too much and handed over her eyes. She was infinitely charming.
Qin Zheng also came up and held a few words.
Gu Qingzhou sat alone in a corner of the sofa, looked at the grapes in the plate, and then looked at the Qin Zheng. He thought a little in his heart.
"These grapes will be given to me by name. It's what my fourth aunt loves to eat." Gu Qingzhou thought, "what is this to do?"
Gu Qingzhou guessed that the grapes were arranged by Qin Zheng, because the friends Gu Qingzhou knew would not give things anonymously, so there was no need to be so secretive.
Qin Zheng is playing tricks.
The price of grapes with poor appearance is not low. Qin Zheng was reluctant to buy a whole basket, so he bought half a basket.
"When the grapes are washed, the whole family will eat them. Qin Zheng can't poison the grapes. She hasn't been so crazy." Gu Qingzhou thought again, "what does she spend this money for?"
It has something to do with Gu Qingzhou. It may not be the one who calculated Gu Qingzhou.
Gu Qingzhou glanced at the fourth aunt: "maybe Qin Zheng's goal this time is to frame me or use me to divert attention?"
Remembering Qin Zheng's forbearance the day before yesterday, Gu Qingzhou felt that Qin Zheng took the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone and targeted two people - Gu Qingzhou and four aunts.
After the four aunts got pregnant, Gu Guizhang obeyed her.
Qin Zheng found that the fourth aunt was so heartless that she helped Gu Qingzhou against Qin Zheng's mother and daughter many times.
If the fourth aunt gives birth to lin'er again, she will be in a stable position and will ride the neck of Qin Zheng in the future.
Gu Qingzhou guessed that Qin Zheng must not allow the fourth aunt to give birth to her child.
Gu Qingzhou also ran into Qin Zheng to the kitchen yesterday and sent grapes today. It must be related to the food.
Poison?
How?
When the whole family eats together, the fourth aunt is too cautious. She usually doesn't eat alone. She eats what the master eats.
Gu Qingzhou thought about the intention of Qin Zheng and remained silent.
Over there, Qin Zheng spoke.
"... sir, I heard about the engagement of the young lady of the Secretary's family the day before yesterday." Qin Zheng smiled.
Gu Guizhang asked, "what's up?"
"The canoe's medical skills are excellent. Do you know that?" Qin Zheng asked.
Gu Guizhang was slightly stunned.
Gu Qingzhou cured Mrs. Si, Mrs. Yan and Huo Yue.
However, these people had no particularly close contacts with the Gu family and no common friends. No one passed this on to Gu Guizhang.
Gu Guizhang really doesn't know.
Qin Zheng was also overheard the day before yesterday.
She told Gu Qingzhou what she heard and described Gu Qingzhou as a miracle doctor.
"When I went to the governor's house last December, no wonder Xiangxiang said that the boat broke her hand and connected it to her. It turned out that she really had such ability." Qin Zheng hates her very much.
They all look down on Gu Qingzhou.
She told Gu Guizhang Gu Qingzhou's medical skills.
Gu Guizhang joked: "a child in a boat can do medicine? Who are you listening to?"
He doesn't believe it.
Qin Zheng must make him believe it and said, "it was said by the wife of a military official. If you don't believe it, go and inquire."
Gu Guizhang believed 30%.
He asked Gu Qingzhou, "is this true?"
Gu Qingzhou smiled: "I'm just a little superficial. It's the old lady who flatters me."
Gu Guizhang didn't think so. He didn't bother to ask if it was the secretary who boasted about Gu Qingzhou.
The weather was clear, the blue sky was cloudless, and the hot sun shone down from the lush treetops, setting golden circles.
It's hotter.
As soon as the weather is hot, everyone has no appetite.
"I can make some fruit and vegetable salads." Qin Zheng said with a smile, "let's change our taste, too?"
Salad is used in Western food and is highly respected by family.
"When did you learn to make salad?" Gu Guizhang asked, "can you make steak?"
"I'm learning. Salad is easier after all." Qin Zheng Zheng Dao.
Then, Qin Zheng said, "master, the children have grown up. Why don't I teach them to make salads and make them for the master every night to be filial."
"Good." Gu Guizhang was satisfied and in a good mood.
Gu Qingzhou understood it all at this time. Qin Zheng goes to the kitchen, gives grapes and praises the medical skill of the boat. The original ultimate goal is here.
After knowing this, Gu Qingzhou remained silent.
That afternoon, she and Gu Xiang and Gu Ying learned to make salad with Qin Zheng.
"Mom, I don't want to eat grass. I'm not a cow." The fourth Gu Ying was reluctant.
Qin Zheng stared at her.
Gu Qingzhou remained calm and began to wash the leaves of chicory, and then learned to make western salad.
On the first night, Qin Zheng made it himself and brought it to the table.
The people who take care of the family have the original appetite. They think what shit vegetable salad is far less delicious than cold dishes.
But Gu Guizhang advocated western culture. He endured his scalp and ate grass. Everyone dared not gossip, so he ate with him.
After eating, Gu Xiang also praised Qin Zheng: "the salad made by Muma is delicious. It's hot. Eat some vegetable salad, which is refreshing and easy to digest. Dad, don't you think so?"
"That's true." Gu Guizhang said.
"I'll make it for Abba tomorrow." Gu Xiang smiled.
Gu Qingzhou smiled and ate grass silently.
The next day, Gu Qingzhou went to the bank. She took out 50 yuan and went to a cigarette shop in the city.
This smokehouse is lavishly decorated, with a tall gatehouse and gorgeous colored glass.
There are many smoking houses. Gu Qingzhou is dressed in an old-fashioned summer cloth skirt, a moon white medium sleeved diagonal shirt and long braided hair, like a girl in the former Qing Dynasty.
The steward of the smoking hall saw her and looked at her suspiciously.
There are women who smoke opium, old-fashioned and fashionable.
"Miss, are you coming alone?" When the waiter sees that the visitor is a guest, he should lead Gu Qingzhou inward.
Gu Qingzhou waved his hand: "I heard that the ninth master often comes here. I don't know if the ninth Master goes to work today?"
The ninth master is Xijiu, the first steward around Huo Yue. This smoking shop is the largest in the Green Gang. Xijiu comes here every Wednesday to discuss business.
"Go, where did you come from, make trouble, didn't you?" As soon as the man heard that she wanted to see the ninth master, he immediately blew her out.
Did the ninth master meet casually?
Who doesn't want to see the ninth master in Yuecheng?
There are so many bodyguards around the ninth master. Even the steward of this cigarette shop can't get close to the ninth master. Where does the little girl have the delusion that she can see the ninth master casually?
"Then tell the ninth master that Miss Gu wants to see him." Gu Qingzhou said again.
Naturally, the boy didn't follow the plan and tried to drive her away.
Gu Qingzhou won't go.
The guests watched the excitement and gathered around Gu Qingzhou curiously.
Just then, Xijiu went downstairs.
Xijiu was born sharp. He was afraid that someone would fish in troubled waters to assassinate him. Seeing the commotion, he looked at it and saw Gu Qingzhou.
Xi Jiu was shocked and hurried to the humanity around him: "hurry, go and invite the lady up!"
The young man was rushing Gu Qingzhou away. Unexpectedly, the people around him said, "Miss Gu, please go upstairs and talk."
The boy almost fell off his chin.
Feelings, does this little girl really know the ninth master?
The spectators were also stunned.
"Who is this? The ninth master asked her to go upstairs to talk. It seems that she has a big background."
"I don't know. I look at the girl. She has a graceful temperament and high status."
The boy was even more surprised. When seeing Gu Qingzhou upstairs, the ninth master greeted him with a smile on his face.
The boy almost had weak legs: where is the Giant Buddha that makes the ninth master condescend to meet him?
Gu Qingzhou didn't know what the boy was thinking.
When he arrived at Yajian, Xijiu respectfully and surprised and asked, "Miss Gu, it's the most unsafe for such smoking houses to be mixed with fish and dragons. Why are you here?"
"I've come all the way to see you." Gu Qingzhou said, "I have something to trouble you!"
