In the past, Jiu Niang had always heard people say that things that money could do well were not important.
At this moment, she felt that there were some things that money might not be able to do well, but food was easy to talk about.
Although she still didn't know Situ Xi's true identity, but … She had put in a lot of effort in order to obtain Situ Xi's household register. Originally, she had thought that with Xu Tianyi here, the most she could do was to put in some good words. After all, it seemed that the Prefect's relationship with the Xu Family wasn't ordinary.
If not for the fact that she was afraid of revealing Situ Xi's whereabouts, she would have directly dragged her to the yamen to look for the Prefect.
That day, she had personally witnessed the State Magistrate's respectful attitude towards Situ Xi and the others.
However, there was a saying that saying more was better than less. The current situation was that he had promised Lil 'White that he would protect Situ Xi, so …
She had only known a few people in Jincheng, and now they really deserved to be called bad every day. Fortunately, Xu Tianshong was a man with a conscience, and even though he had mentioned the matter of the medicinal ingredients to her, she had not forgotten about it. Although it was not a lot, it was still enough.
"There is no end to the heavens."
Yes, Nona could not help but sigh with emotion. It was truly a world that never ended. She took the banknotes without knowing where she was going to send them, but she didn't expect … Five hundred catties of rice had been easily taken care of …
This matter had to be told from the moment Ninth Madame ran into a wall and then wandered around the city. Who knew that the moment the yamen started to investigate, the shops on the street would close, and even if one took out money, one wouldn't be able to buy food … This county magistrate might as well be managed on the spot. Nona happened to run into the main account book that was in charge of the household registration. The main account book could not even be kept in the open anymore, and then …
Hehe, 500 Jin of rice for a paper.
Although there was the suspicion of bribing officials, it was enough to settle one thing. Besides, the food was priceless now.
Meanwhile, Nona had completed a task and was walking back happily …
The back door of a house in the distance opened and a embarrassed middle-aged woman was pushed out. "You really don't care about face at all. Do you really think you are some sort of thing? These days, the old master and his wife have been kind enough to let you and your mother borrow you from the mansion …"
"You all … "You're going too far …"
"Too much bullying? Ha ha-ha, listen to me, listen to me! What do you think you are? If it wasn't for the Old Master's wife's benevolence, I would have already sent you out. "
"That's right, that's right! Stubborned and unwilling to leave, what kind of scholar are you talking about? Aren't you just a blind person?"
"You … You, you... All those years ago, if it wasn't for my master, Fang Lin Xuan would have already been reduced to a pile of bones! "A bunch of ungrateful bastards who repay kindness with enmity …"
"Mother, say less …"
The next thing he wanted was for the youth to be pushed out. Compared to the embarrassed middle-aged woman, the boy was much calmer. There was no emotion on his white face, nor was there any change in his black and white pupils. He bent down to help the middle-aged woman, who was sitting on the ground, as if he had not heard the insults from those people.
He looked to be only 13 or 14 years old. It was quite rare for him to be able to act so unabashedly … After helping the middle-aged woman up, he bent down and randomly touched the ground … After a long while, he picked up the bag on the ground …
Alright, to be unable to see with such a pair of beautiful eyes, it was truly a pity.
"Jin Yu, Jin Yu, motherf * cker Jin Yu. It's them that are pushing it too far, pushing it too far. "
The middle-aged woman held onto the youth's shoulder tightly. She gnashed her teeth as she stared at the servants who had pushed them out. She let out a mournful howl, as if she was an injured beast. She thought that with Jin Yu's status, as long as she could find these people, they would definitely think of a way to help her.
However … However, she had never expected that these people were all small fries.
On the surface, they served him well, but … But no one behind his back wanted to help him.
If she hadn't overheard them, she wouldn't have known what they were up to …
"So what?"
The young man who was called Jin Yu by the middle-aged woman remained calm, as if he didn't feel the woman's anger at all.
This time, it didn't seem to have anything to do with him.
His calmness angered the middle-aged woman. She pushed him away and raised her hand fiercely. However … But in the end, she still obediently put it down and could only angrily yell, "Don't tell me you didn't know that if they weren't willing to help, we wouldn't even … We can't go back at all... Could it be … "Don't you know …"
Right, the Gu family, they couldn't go back without the help of these people.
With their status, they wouldn't even be able to get close to the Gu family.
If not for this, how could she have endured so much in such a desolate place all these years?
He watched as Jin Yu grew up. Although he couldn't see with his eyes, he was still the eldest grandson of the Gu family …
"So what?" The youth turned around and stared at the middle-aged woman with a pair of clear eyes. Although his eyes could not see, it still caused the woman to be slightly stunned.
"You … You... "Don't tell me you …"
The middle-aged woman took two steps back in disbelief, staring blankly at Jin Yu. She could not believe that such words would come out from his mouth, "Don't tell me you don't know … The Gu family … "The Gu family …"
"So what? The Gu Family is the Gu Family, what does it have to do with me? "
The youth was slightly impatient and frowned his elegant brows. A trace of displeasure flashed across his delicate face, and even his clear eyes were tainted by a trace of anger.
He did not understand. It had been so many years, and since the Gu family had not come to look for him, why was his mother still so unwilling to give up? Did she not know that to a family like the Gu family, it was a humiliation for a child they could never see?
"You … You... What does that have to do with you? The Gu family is where we should be going, don't you know? "
The middle-aged woman's eyes did not widen as her tone suddenly became several times louder.
Yes, the Gu family was where they should go. From the moment she was kicked out of the Gu family, she had been silently telling herself that one day she must go back, that she must go back in the open and in the open.
Now that his son had grown up, even though he couldn't see with his eyes, he was still a descendant of the Gu family, the eldest son of the Gu family.
"If I had known your plan, I would never have come with you."
After standing still for a long while, the teenager finally said this out loud. A trace of disgust flashed across his clear eyes.
That year, when he left the Gu family, he was already four years old. Although he couldn't remember many things clearly, one thing he remembered very clearly was that from the moment he left, he was probably no longer a member of the Gu family.
After the youth said this, he ignored the middle-aged woman and groped his way forward.
Behind him, a group of servants looked at his straight back and couldn't help but discuss, "I didn't think that such a woman could teach such a child. It really isn't easy."
"Yes, yes, this young man is a good one."
"It's just a pity …"
That's right, this youth was a good one. Not only was he talented and intelligent, but he also had a kind heart and kind heart. It was a pity that he couldn't see those eyes.
Thinking about this youth, they also felt some sympathy for him, so they didn't stop him from leaving.
Actually, the old master and the madam only wanted them to scare the two of them a little, as long as they obediently signed the indenture contract, everything would be fine.
But... This kind of youth …
"Jin Yu, Jin Yu, I, I …"
Seeing that Gu Jinyu had left, the middle-aged woman could no longer stand and chased after her.
After seeing the young and the old, the servants slowly closed the back door.
Sigh, this was fate.
They had all vaguely heard about this young master's identity, but just what kind of family was that Gu family? How could it be something that ordinary people could hope for? Even their old master would obediently kowtow when he saw someone from the Gu family, not to mention … If the young master was normal, there might be a possibility … However, the young master couldn't see it …
"Master, you're just going to let those two people go?"
When the Fang family saw that the two of them had been sent off, Madam Fang looked at Fang Lin with some dissatisfaction.
These two had extraordinary identities. Aren't they afraid of offending the Gu family after leaving?
It wasn't that they didn't want to help, it was just that on the day after Gu Yu and Gu Jinyu entered the Fang family, they sent people to the Gu family to inquire about the news. They just wanted to see how the Gu family would react. After all, this was the bloodline of the Gu family …
However, they hadn't expected the Gu family members to directly say that the Gu family didn't have these two people.
This way, the couple didn't know what to do. However, if they were to go against the Gu family for the sake of these two, they wouldn't have the guts to do so.
"What else can we do?"
Fang Lin Xuan put down the teacup in his hand and glanced at his wife. There was a trace of displeasure in his eyes.
If he didn't let them go, what else could he do?
Could it be that he really wanted them to sign an indenture contract?
"Old master, since the Gu family has already said that there are no such people … "Although Gu Jinyu said that she couldn't see, she really did have a good skin …"
Thinking of that clean and white youth, a plan formed in Madam Fang's mind.
These days, it was easy to find a beautiful girl, but it was not easy to find a refined looking youth.
Furthermore … She knew that there were many officials and nobles in the capital who would be happy to see such a young man …
"Shut up! "How dare you …" Hearing this, Fang Lin Xuan was instantly enraged. He fiercely looked at his wife, his eyes full of warning: "No matter what, that is still the Gu family's bloodline, and in the capital … "If the Gu family finds out, hmph …"
Although the Gu family didn't acknowledge this son, it didn't mean that they could just sit back and watch him discredit the Gu family.
He was more clear than anyone else about the Gu family's situation in the capital …
"I... "I'm just casually saying it. I'll see how angry you are …"
She knew that it would be boring, so she didn't say anything else and just walked away …
Only after looking around to confirm that the mother and son had left did he finally relax. "They finally left, sigh …"
