Chapter 140 Education to Persuade Mr. Gu

When Gu Jiu walked into the room, he smelled a pungent smell of wine.

She wrinkled her nose, unaccustomed to the smell.

Old Man Gu was half-drunk and half-awake, bloodshot in his cloudy eyes.

"Xiao Jiu is here, sit down."

Gu Jiu sat down on a clean chair.

She surveyed her surroundings calmly.

The room was luxuriously furnished, but it had a stale smell.

The carpet had unidentified stains and was dry.

Gu Jiu subconsciously frowned when he thought that the stains on it might be the dirt that the old man spit out after being drunk.

The house is a good house, and the ornaments are all precious ornaments, but the people who live in it spoil these precious ornaments.

"It's really rare that you actually thought of coming to greet the old man."

Grandpa Gu laughed.

Gu Jiu instructed Xiao Cui, "Go and make a bowl of strong tea for the old man."

Xiaocui led the way.

This will make the old man's mind not sober and not suitable for talking about things.

Gu Jiu hoped that the old man could sober up after drinking the strong tea.

Soon, Xiao Cui brought a bowl of strong tea and put it in front of the old man.

Old Man Gu squinted his eyes and stared at Xiao Cui. He frightened Xiao Cui, jumped away quickly, and retreated behind Gu Jiu.

Old Man Gu laughed and pointed at Xiao Cui, "You bastard, what are you running for? If you enter the old man's yard, where else can you escape?"

Gu Jiu sternly said, "Master, please see clearly, this is my maid."

Old Man Gu was stunned for a while, and it took a while to react, "Oh, here comes Xiaojiu."

Gu Jiu frowned, and winked at Wang Yi and Qingmei.

The two understood and stepped forward. Wang Yi hugged Old Man Gu and opened his mouth directly. Qingmei poured a bowl of strong tea into the old man's mouth.

"You... gu dong gu dong... cough..."

A bowl of strong tea,

The old man Gu is not well.

He pointed at Gu Jiu, "Second girl, you, you are too presumptuous."

Gu Jiu said with a blank expression: "It's the old man who is disrespectful to the old man, so the granddaughter has no choice but to do this."

Mr. Gu was so stunned that he was speechless.

After a while, he snorted twice, "It's okay, it's okay, the old man doesn't care about you, a little girl. Tell me, what's the matter with the old man? Please forgive me. For so many years, the old man has never asked you to do so."

Gu Jiu stood up and said solemnly, "Please save my father's life."

"What? What is it?"

The old man Gu looked incomprehensible, "Second girl, your brain is flooded. Look at this old man, how can He Dehe save your father? Let's go, don't disturb the old man to drink. I want to save people. , go to the Houfu next door to find the old Houye."

Old Man Gu waved his hand and wanted to rush Gu Jiu out.

Gu Jiu had a gloomy face, "Now, the only person who can save my father is the old man."

Old Man Gu chuckled, not taking Gu Jiu's words to heart at all.

Gu Jiu calmed down and said again: "Today, the granddaughter met with the son-in-law. The son-in-law asked the granddaughter to speak, and asked the old man to give him the things."

Old Man Gu's original laughing expression solidified on his face.

He turned his head like a zombie, his movements stiff.

"What did you say?"

Gu Jiu repeated what he just said: "...Young Master Zhao asked the old man to give him the things."

"You, have you really met Young Master Zhao?"

Old Man Gu pointed at Gu Jiu, as if in disbelief.

Gu Jiu nodded, "Yes! The granddaughter saw Young Master Zhao."

"Did he really tell you that?"

"Yes! This is about the father's life, and the granddaughter dare not hide anything."

Old Man Gu grabbed his hair, "He didn't say anything for the old man to pay?"

Gu Jiu shook his head.

Old Man Gu frowned, his beard twitched, and he was obviously very uneasy.

After being silent for a long time, Gu Jiu had to urge again, "Please, old man, save father."

With an impatient look on his face, Old Man Gu said, "I know, I know. You go back first, I can think about it later."

Gu Jiu said, "Time waits for no one. The longer my father is in jail, the more dangerous he will be. He is your son after all. Please save him."

"You guys are just annoying. The old man said a long time ago that if you and your family return to Beijing, there will be no good. Sure enough."

With a look of disgust, Old Man Gu waved his hand and rushed Gu Jiu out.

Gu Jiu left silently.

Qingmei hesitated.

Madam Fang was still at the gate of the courtyard, and when she saw Gu Jiu, her face was full of smiles.

"The second girl and the old man have finished talking. Those cheap hooves, the slaves have already cleaned them up for the girl."

"Thank you ma'am."

Gu Jiu winked, and Qingmei gave Madam Fang another purse.

Madam Fang laughed until she could not see her teeth but her eyes, "Second girl, walk slowly, and come here often in the future."

Gu Jiu returned to Zhilan Courtyard and sat in the study to practice calligraphy to vent his anger.

Qingmei came in with a bowl of soup and medicine, "Girl, it's almost an hour since you wrote it, it's time to take a break."

Gu Jiu was silent.

"Girl, why don't the servants go to the outer courtyard to have a look and ask the old man what his attitude is."

Gu Jiu shook his head and suddenly dropped the pen. The ink splashed on the rice paper, and a piece of paper was discarded.

"You don't need to see the old man, he will save the old man."

ah?

Ome looked puzzled.

"Since the old man will save the old man, why is the girl so angry?"

"I'm just out of breath."

Gu Jiu said it as a matter of course.

She had already held back her anger, and when she saw Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu's attitude was so stimulating that she almost couldn't hold back.

She can't just throw her anger on people, she can only practice calligraphy to vent.

"Girl, it's not good, it's not good."

Xiao Cui hurried in from outside, gasping for breath, and said eagerly, "Miss, old man, the old man is making a fuss. When he was making a fuss to go out, he called the doorman, got on his horse and ran out. The doorman couldn't stop him, and They also lost the old man. Girl, what should I do now?"

Hearing this, Gu Jiu laughed, relieved.

"Master is saved."

Xiao Cui was stunned.

Qingmei seemed to understand, but she also agreed with Gu Jiu's words.

"Thank goodness, the master is finally saved. The girl's hard work was not in vain."

Gu Jiu laughed, "Qingmei, you asked the kitchen to have chicken soup tonight, I want to drink chicken soup."

"The slave is going here."

Qingmei smiled happily, the girl finally smiled, and her appetite improved.

Thank goodness God finally opened his eyes.

Old Master Gu ran out of the mansion, and Gu Jiu knew that Master Gu was saved. But others don't know.

The concierge sent the news to Mrs. Zhang, the eldest wife, and Mrs. Zhang was so angry that she fell to her knees.

"What the concierge does, just the old man's body, so many of them can't stop it. It's just a bunch of wine bags and rice bags."

Shaoyao persuaded softly: "Madam, calm down. At that time, the old man and the servants rushed to the doorman, and the doorman was caught off guard, so he let the old man run out. Now, the most important thing is to find the old man."

"Why don't I know that I want to find the old man first. But where to find it? If the old man gets into trouble outside and offends people, how can it be. You quickly order the housekeeper, and send additional staff to go out to find the old man. In addition, send someone to tell the eldest master, Let him transfer people from the yamen and find the old man in the whole city. In short, we must find the old man as soon as possible, and we must not let the old man mess around."

"The slave is going here."

The eldest Mrs. Zhang sighed.

Mr. Gu has a criminal record.

No one knew what would happen when Mr. Gu ran out.

"Madam, the second wife is here."

The maid came in to report.

The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, sighed, "Quickly invite the second wife in."

Xie was invited into the main room of the Songbaiyuan.

"Brother and sister, you are not in good health, why did you come out. If you have something to do, just call me."

Xie's face was pale and sick, and Gu Shan helped her to sit down.

Xie said: "I'm not worried, so I'll come and have a look. I heard that the old man ran out, is it okay? Will it affect my master? If the old man offends people outside and hurts my master, what should I do? "

Before he could finish speaking, Mrs Xie began to wipe her tears.

Gu Shan persuaded in a low voice: "Mother, don't cry first. Listen to what the aunt has to say first."

Mrs Xie wiped away her tears and smiled embarrassedly, "Let my sister-in-law see a joke."

Mr. Zhang shook his head slightly, "I can understand the feelings of the second sibling. I have already sent more people to find the whereabouts of the old man. I have also sent someone to inform the old man. There will be people from the yamen to help find the old man together. I believe The old man will be sent back soon."

Xie Shi breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she complained again: "The old man is true, but he made a scene at this juncture. It is rare that my old man is not his own son? He is so cruel."

As he spoke, Mrs Xie cried again.

Since Mr. Gu's accident, Mrs. Xie has been crying for a long time.

While wiping away her tears, she cried and said, "I'm a woman, I really can't help it. I can only count on the Houfu next door, and my elder brother and elder sister. If you can't save my master, I, I I can't live anymore."

Mrs. Zhang advised: "Don't say anything discouraged. No matter what happens to the second brother, you have to stand by it. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the children. The children's marriage has not yet been settled, so you can Are you really worried?"

Xie Shi cried even more miserably.

Perhaps because she cried too much these days, not only her eyes were swollen, but her cheeks were also puffy.

Xie shi covered her eyes and said, "I don't know how to think about the children. But when something happens to my master, I feel as if I have lost my backbone.

For the past two days, I have not thought about eating and drinking, and have trouble sleeping and eating. In the evening, I thought about it over and over again, thinking about what we would do in the land of orphans and widows if my master could not come back.

If my master was gone, who would care about those children? Sister-in-law, I am so scared! "

It was rare for Mr. Xie to show a vulnerable side in front of Mrs. Zhang.

Gu Shan listened and her eyes were red, "Mother, don't talk about it. Father will return safely."

Xie patted the back of Gu Shan's hand, "I know, I know. I also look forward to your father's safe return."

Seeing this scene, Zhang Shi couldn't help but sigh.

"Brother and younger sister, you should relax. You will fall ill first before the second brother comes back."

Mrs Xie covered her mouth and nodded again and again, "Thank you for your concern, I can still hold on. For the sake of the children, I have to hold on too."

"Brothers and sisters, don't just hold on. If you're not feeling well, you should ask the doctor to go to the outpatient clinic to prescribe medicine in time. The children are still counting on you, you can't collapse."

Mrs Xie hummed a few times in succession, "Thank you, sister-in-law, for reminding me that I will take care of my body. Where is the old man..."

"My brother and sister don't need to worry about the old man's place. So many people go out to look for him, but I can't believe that the old man can't be found. My brother and sister go back to rest first. I'll send someone to tell you when there is news."

Mrs Xie thanked: "Thank you, sister-in-law. You will be the one to worry about the old man's affairs."

Mrs. Zhang said, "This is what I should do. Brothers and sisters, don't meet me."

Xie got up to leave, and Gu Shan and Chun He helped her out of the room together.

Zhang Shi secretly sighed, looking at Xie Shi's appearance, if Lord Gu can't come back, I am afraid that he will not be able to bear the blow, and he will not be able to get sick directly.

In this way, the children of the second room will be miserable.

The right family will not marry an undervalued family. At that time, the young master of the second room can only marry lowly, and the girls can only marry lowly.

Why!

Regarding the matter of Master Gu, Mrs. Zhang could only sigh.

The Gu Mansion is all waiting for news.

When it was dark, there was finally news of the old man.

"Madam, the old man is back. The old man is back by himself."

Zhang Shi suddenly stood up from the seat, "Really come back?"

The maid nodded again and again, "It's true, I've already entered the concierge."

Mr. Zhang gritted his teeth, "The old man is really absurd, you follow me to see the old man."

The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, took her to the outer courtyard.

While asking the maid, "You said that the old man came back by himself, not by someone?"

The maid nodded, "Exactly. The housekeeper took the people out, but the old man was not found. As a result, the old man came back by himself."

Zhang Shi snorted coldly.

When the old lady who guarded the door saw the eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, she jumped in shock. Like a quail, he lowered his eyebrows and greeted him, "I have seen the eldest wife, the old man just came back and is drinking inside."

Mrs. Zhang's eyes widened, and Mrs. Fang's heart almost jumped out of fright.

"The old man was drinking as soon as he came back, and you don't know what to do."

"The slaves can't control it." Madam Fang complained.

Mrs. Zhang snorted coldly, "Don't make excuses for Mrs. Ben. I really don't know what you did in private."

Madam Fang smiled shyly, the eldest wife is too fierce, not as kind as the second girl.

The second girl is so nice, give me the purse as soon as you come. When you go out, give another purse. And he is generous and speaks calmly.

Mr. Zhang said with a stern face, "I'll take care of you later."

After speaking, Mr. Zhang went straight into the courtyard gate.

Madam Fang had a bad look on her face and pulled her maid, Shaoyao, to beg for mercy.

Shaoyao raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Mr. Fang, how much money you greedily embezzled from the old man drinking, don't think we don't know. After checking the ledger, you have to spit out all the benefits you got."

"Auntie, keep your voice down. I'll tell you something, don't say it."

"What's up?"

Madam Fang looked around, and then said: "In the afternoon, the second girl suddenly came to greet the old man, it's weird.

The grandfather and grandson closed the door and chatted for half an hour. After the second girl left, the old man stopped drinking and just sat in the room in a daze.

After being in a daze, he ran out with the little servant. I guessed that the old man suddenly ran out of the mansion in a frenzy, and it must have something to do with the second girl. "

Shaoyao frowned, "What are you saying is true?"

Mrs. Fang patted her chest, "This is absolutely true. If Miss Shaoyao doesn't believe it, you can ask about the hooves. For the sake of the second girl, I also cleaned up those hooves."

Shaoyao nodded, "I will report this matter to the eldest wife. Your benefit will be indispensable at that time."

Madam Fang smiled happily, "Thank you Miss Shaoyao. I don't know who is worthy of someone with such a symbol as Miss Shaoyao."

Shaoyao directly spit on Mrs. Fang, "Stop talking about some things. About the second girl meeting with the old man, you are not allowed to spread it out, or you will not be spared."

"Don't worry, Miss Shaoyao, I know the seriousness of this matter and promise not to spread it out."

Shaoyao wouldn't trust Madam Fang's guarantee. This old slave, if she has milk, she is a mother. When this is over, she has to take the opportunity to beat the old lady.

Mr. Zhang walked into the door with someone, and frowned when he saw Mr. Gu drinking wine.

"Greetings to the old man. You didn't offend anyone when you went out this time."

Mr. Gu squinted at Mrs. Zhang, "Nonsense, when will the old man offend people. You hurry up and don't get in the way of the old man."

The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, didn't care, "Master, now the second brother's future is worrying, you should think for him, can you not make trouble at this time. The Hou Mansion next door is very angry when the old man ran out. The old lady still let it go. If you want her to be a sister-in-law to come and discipline you in person, then you are willing to be honest."

When Old Man Gu heard this, his face changed, "Sister-in-law is really, she likes to meddle in her own business."

Zhang Shi snorted coldly.

Now even the old marquis can't control the old man Gu, and the old lady Wei, who is the eldest sister-in-law, can still listen to a few words of the old man.

Mrs. Zhang said, "I don't want the old lady to go to the house and beat your old man in person. I would like to ask the old man to calm down. Don't cause trouble for the juniors. We will be thankful."

"Got it, got it. As a daughter-in-law, it's all up to the old man, who gave you the courage. Go, go, go quickly. Don't delay the old man drinking."
