After coming back from the newspaper office, Gu Qingzhou was in a very good mood.
She went to find Jin man, and also looked at his way and tried her luck. I can't imagine that she was lucky enough to find out.
She got the news she wanted most!
If you want to leave Yuecheng, you'd better take the boat of Chen's family.
However, the Chen family's journey from China to India by way of arms and opium is the way for the British to make money. They should be more careful.
Not very important friends, they will not help.
"I have to have something to do with the Chen family. Let the Chen family owe me a favor." Think of the light boat.
Gu Qingzhou wants to settle the matter of caring for her family and get her family property before next June, so that Gu Guizhang can plead guilty; at the same time, she hopes to get her graduation certificate.
The graduation certificate of Santa Maria middle school is a key to her. In the future, she can go to university or work as a clerk in the factory. She must get it.
Well, by June at the latest, she's going to end it all.
After leaving Yuecheng, Gu Qingzhou wants to go to Nanyang with her mistress.
It's said that there are many Chinese in Nanyang, so it's easy to do business. If you have a little way, you can have a foothold.
Going to Nanyang by water is her best choice. However, she didn't know much about the waterway, and she was in possession of the secret of Si Xingfu, who would certainly not let her go.
She needs to be quiet.
Gu Qingzhou thought, maybe ask, whose boat is easier to smuggle.
But she thought that Gu Shao checked his identity, but asked several people on the road, and immediately leaked the information. Even Sima knew what he was checking.
The line of spying for information is transparent to the military government commanders with intelligence networks.
Gu Qingzhou goes to inquire about the ship, and he will know it in an hour.
As soon as he knew it, the road was blocked. The waterway is blocked, and the other roads are even more difficult.
After a few days of hesitation, she came across the news in the newspaper. She thought of the senior newspaper people, who knew more secrets than she had imagined in the light boat.
After studying some tabloids, Gu Qingzhou found that a main writer named "Jin Man" was well-informed and well-known, and he liked to write the secrets of the rich, almost all of which were the same.
Gu studied his article and thought that he knew a lot of things, especially the wharf.
Many of his patrons are more concerned with the wharf, but they can see that he is familiar with the way.
Sure enough, in his casual boasting, he told Gu Qingzhou the secret he wanted to know.
Gu Qingzhou will go to inquire again to see if Jin Man's words are true.
With a plan ahead, Gu Qingzhou feels more secure.
The day before New Year's Eve, when Gu Qingzhou was still trying to inquire about Chen's family, Yan Luoshui arrived at Gu's home in the middle of the night.
Gu took off his coat and went to bed. The maid said that Miss Yan had come, and Gu was stunned.
Her sudden arrival startled Gu Qingzhou. Yan Luoshui is rarely capricious. If she visits, it must be daytime, and she calls first to make an appointment.
It's a big deal to come here uninvited!
Gu Qingzhou hurried downstairs.
When she came, the second aunt was already sitting with Yan Luoshui. The servant also brought hot tea.
Yan Luoshui didn't want to drink tea. He put down his cup of tea and said to Aunt Eryi with a smile, "I'm sleeping with the boat today, don't you mind?"
"Don't disturb, don't disturb, where's Miss Yan?" The second aunt is too gentle and gentle, and she is very flattered to Yan Luoshui without breaking her point.
Gu Qingzhou takes Yan Luo upstairs.
Once in the room, Yan Luoshui pounced on the bed of Gu Qingzhou and buried his face between the pillows.
"What's the matter, Luoshui?" Asked Gu Qingzhou.
Yanluo water way: "your pillow is so fragrant and has the taste of rose. I want to sleep with you!"
She didn't answer, but talked about him.
"Mom knows you're here?" Gu asked again, "how did you come out alone in the middle of the night?"
"I'm a little thirsty. Is there water? Just now your servant brought me tea. What kind of tea do you drink this evening? " Yan Luoshui said to herself.
She talked to herself completely, and didn't take care of the boat.
Gu Qingzhou said, "I'll go down and pour you a cup of boiled water."
Yan Luoshui nodded.
Gu Qingzhou poured the boiled water and asked miao'er, the maid, to bring it to Yan Luoshui. She called Mrs. Yan herself.
At the other end of the phone, Mrs. Yan's voice was weak and short: "boat, thank you for taking care of her. I'll send someone to pick her up tomorrow morning."
"What happened?" Gu asked again.
"Mrs. Yan said," I can't speak clearly in three words on the phone. You come together tomorrow and talk again when you come. "
Gu Qingzhou says OK.
She hung up and went upstairs to find Yan Luoshui pretending to sleep.
"Luoshui, change your pajamas and go to sleep." Gu Qingzhou pushes her.
Yan Luoshui doesn't care.
Gu Qingzhou stands beside the bed and stares at her.
It was very cold that day. Yan Luoshui was embarrassed to let Gu Qingzhou stand beside her in pajamas and pants. Like a servant girl, she sighed and got up angrily.
"What's the matter?" Gu asked, "if you don't come to my house, I won't ask. You can run out in the middle of the night. It's a big deal. "
Yan Luoshui didn't want to say much, just sighed.
In the end, I still didn't ask.
The next day, Gu Qingzhou patiently waited for Yan Luoshui to have breakfast and exchanged greetings with the family members. Only then did the two go to Yan's house by car.
Yan Yiyuan was waiting at the door.
Seeing Yan Luoshui, Yan Yiyuan seems to be a thief: "Mom Mu was angry last night and didn't sleep all night. Be careful. I've got to go. I can't get wet today! "
Yan Luoshui held his arm: "don't you help me?"
"You are a sister. Do you want your brother to share the suffering?" Yan Yiyuan said.
"Now you admit that I am a sister?" Yan Luoshui is not very angry.
Rao is so, also did not hold Yan Yiyuan, Yan Yiyuan was afraid of the fire in the city gate and hurt the fish, and ran away.
Gu Qingzhou takes Yan Luoshui and goes to Mrs. Yan's yard.
Yan Xinnong is sitting in the sofa, reading a newspaper and holding a cup of tea.
He shook and folded the newspaper, pointed to the sofa beside him, and said to Yan Luoshui and Gu Qingzhou, "sit down."
Mrs. Yan didn't get up. She was still in the inner room.
Gu Qingzhou looks into the inner room and faintly sees Mrs. Yan changing clothes.
A moment later, Mrs. Yan came out.
For a while, everyone was silent again.
Gu Qingzhou is in a fog. He doesn't know what to say when he looks at each other. He looks at them blankly.
Yan Xinnong cleared his throat and said: "the children of Xie's family, one does not linger in the brothel and the other does not set foot in the gambling house. It's a decent, beautiful, knowledgeable in laws. "
Gu Qingzhou understood at this time. She can't help but interject: "Xie Jiasan is going to be engaged to Luoshui?"
Yan Luoshui's head is buried lower, and the whole person is trapped in the sofa; Yan's wife is as heavy as water, and she doesn't talk.
"Yes, light boat." Yan Xinnong replied to Gu Qingzhou, "let's discuss this."
"There's nothing to discuss, I don't agree!" Mrs. Yan said, "my daughter, I was raised as a baby, and people didn't look at her, and ruined her! What is marriage? It's the second birth of a woman.
Women are all trees. When they fall into good soil, they will grow luxuriant branches and leaves. In the future, they will blossom and bear fruit and shade their children. If they fall into bad soil, they will wither and wither, and eventually die young!
You've seen Xie San's appearance in recent years. He would not be like this if he was interested in Luoshui. To marry him, to flatter him in a low voice, to suffer a lifetime of hardship? "
"I would like to." Yan Luoshui didn't look up, but his voice was buzzing.
"I disagree."
"You can't arrange marriage. The government doesn't advocate it." Yan Luoshui retorted and insisted, "my marriage, you have to ask me to agree."
"You were born in my stomach. Did you ask me if I agreed? I have been pregnant for ten months, and I gave birth to you just to let you be ruined by others? " Said Mrs. Yan.
Their mother and daughter, tit for tat, but no one first show timidity.
"I'm happy." Yan Luo water way, "I marry the man I like, and I'm willing to eat how much hardship; if the price doesn't like it, I'm not happy that he is good to me."
"A woman must marry the one who is good to her!" Said Mrs. Yan.
Yan Luoshui insisted: "I don't want to. If I don't like that man, I feel sick if he is good to me!"
They can't hold on and no one can persuade them.
Mrs. Yan's stomach ached with anger.
Yan Xinnong and Gu Qingzhou are sitting next to each other. They dare not say a word for fear of the spread of war.
In fact, the quarrel between the mother and daughter of the Yan family is very elegant, more like a conversation. There is no roar at the top of their voices, no hysterical crying. They just keep talking.
"Canoe, what do you think?" Mrs. Yan suddenly asked Gu Qingzhou, hoping that Gu Qingzhou could help persuade Yan Luoshui.
Gu Qingzhou said: "Muma, marriage is a lifetime event. I'm young and have no experience in life. I don't know what kind of people to marry..."
Mrs. Yan sighed.
Finally, it was Yan Xinnong, who said, "I agree with this marriage."
Yan Luoshui raised his head sharply.
She held back her tears all day long, and finally fell down. She rushed to hold yanxinnong. "Abba, I will be filial to you in the future, and I will do everything to repay you!"
She was speechless with joy.
Mrs. Yan's face changed angrily: "whatever your father and daughter do, don't cry with me in the future."
Gu Qingzhou stood by, thinking of Xie sanshao, the cold face he saw last time. Knowing that Yan Luoshui's future is worrying, Gu Qingzhou couldn't help but be happy for her.
She is going to marry the man she likes.
Yan Luoshui knows who she loves and what she wants. She dares to go out even though she is in great danger. Gu Qingzhou admires her and even admires her.
In this way, the Yan family plans to make an engagement with Yan Luoshui and Xie sanshao in the first month.
Yan Luoshui was radiant.
She has never been so happy.
After crying for a while, Mrs. Yan saw her daughter's exultation. She betrayed her position, supported Yan Luoshui, and even asked her, "what kind of engagement ring do you want?"
Gu Qingzhou thinks yanluoshui is perfect, at least her parents will always support her, no matter what kind of decision she makes.
Gu Qingzhou is more envious.
