Chapter 198: he should be hooked
"This master, blame the slave family, what should I do?" The young woman spoke with a slight northern accent, but her voice was soft, with a bit of a Jiangnan woman's accent in it, and her voice was very pleasant. "This..." Gu Huaizhong looked at his embarrassed look. "Why don't the little lady borrow a towel."
"Okay, okay." The young woman nodded hurriedly, "If the master doesn't dislike it, why don't you come in and sit for a while, and wait for the slaves to dry the master's clothes."
"Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad person?" Gu Huaizhong asked with a smile.
The young woman was startled and looked at Gu Huaizhong with slightly red eyes, not knowing how to answer.
Gu Huaizhong laughed, "Don't worry, I'm not a bad person."
The young woman seemed to be relieved and smiled with relief, "Master, come in." After she finished speaking, she let Gu Huaizhong in.
Gu Huaizhong walked into the yard and looked around, it was a very ordinary small family, and the yard was very clean. There is also a small piece of land in the corner of the wall. Some radishes have been planted, but they have not been collected. There is a little snow on it. Clothes were still hanging in the yard, dripping wet.
The house is one piece with two penthouses next to the main house.
"Master, sit down for a while, and wait for the slave's family to find a piece of my husband's clothes." The young woman let a wooden chair out, poured a cup of tea for Gu Huaizhong, and then turned around and walked into the inner hall.
After a while, he took out a clean suit. There was a slight redness on his face. "Master, this is the clothes left by my husband. If you don't dislike it, please change it first. Take your clothes and wash them, then dry them, and then you can change them back."
"Okay." Gu Huaizhong nodded, and the young woman walked out. Looking at the young woman's slender waist and round buttocks, he couldn't help but feel a little regret that such a beautiful woman was buried in such a place.
Putting on the clothes of the young woman and the husband, Gu Huaizhong sat in the hall drinking tea. The tea in this house is very special. It is not tea leaves but roasted round wheat, with a special aroma.
The young woman was busy in the yard, and it was almost time to turn on the lantern. The young woman was able to light the wind lantern under the eaves. The stretched figure came into view. With a different vibe.
A hurried knock on the door broke the silence in the evening. The young woman was startled, glanced at Gu Huaizhong, and went to open the door of the courtyard.
As soon as the door was opened, a loud voice came in, "Xiu Niang, you already owe a lot of money here, it's time to give it."
It turned out that her name was Xiuniang, and Gu Huaizhong was sitting in the hall. He raised his eyebrows slightly and quietly watched what was happening outside.
"When my husband comes back, I will definitely serve it." Xiu Niang looked back at Gu Huaizhong, who was sitting in the hall, a little ashamed. "There are guests at home, and Aunt Qin can talk about it later."
"Ha. Guest? I think it's your concubine. Sure enough, it's someone who is raised outside in the outer room, looking like a sassy fox. After a few days without a man, I think about hooking up. It doesn't matter who you hook up with, but the old lady doesn't care. You have to pay the rent." The aunt said reluctantly.
"Don't talk nonsense, that master is a good man!" Xiu Niang looked a little angry.
"Good person?" Aunt Qin pouted in disdain. "I don't care if he is good or bad! If you don't bring the money today, move it out overnight for me!"
"I'm really..." Xiu Niang was forced to do nothing, she touched her hair bun and pulled out a sandalwood hairpin from her hair. As soon as the hairpin was pulled, her hair poured down like a waterfall. "Why don't you put this hairpin on it first, and I'll find a way tomorrow."
"This broken hairpin has a fart!" Aunt Qin threw the hairpin on the ground and stepped on her foot. Xiu Niang exclaimed, and hurriedly picked up the hairpin and carefully brushed off the dust on it. "This is a relic that my mother gave me, how can you do this!" Xiu Niang glared.
"How much money does she owe you?" Gu Huaizhong finally spoke slowly.
"Not much. The monthly rent for this small yard is three taels of silver." Aunt Qin then looked at Gu Huaizhong and smiled strangely, "What's the matter? You have to help her!"
"What if I helped?" Gu Huaizhong smiled coldly, took out a piece of silver and 5 taels from his purse and threw it over, "Take it and get out!"
When Aunt Qin saw that she had collected the money, she immediately changed her face, hurriedly collected the money that fell on the ground, and left happily.
Xiu Niang walked in embarrassedly, "Thank you, Master, for helping the slave family. The money owed to the master will definitely be returned to the master."
"No need." Gu Huaizhong waved his hand, "She just said you were someone's outer room?"
As soon as these words came out, Xiu Niang's face suddenly turned pale, and her tears couldn't help falling, "Master, don't ask any more." After she finished speaking, she covered her face and ran out.
The more Xiu Niang didn't let Gu Huaizhong ask, the more Gu Huaizhong was more attentive. When he came out from Xiu Niang's side, when he returned to Hou's mansion, he sent the servant in the mansion out to inquire about this Xiu Niang's origin.
The young servant quickly found out the origin of Xiuniang. It is true that as the aunt said, Xiuniang is really a businessman's outer room, but after the businessman brought her to the capital, she appeared and disappeared within a day. No trace, Xiu Niang must have been deceived by the businessman.
Been scammed? In Gu Huaizhong's mind, Xiu Niang's trembling eyes appeared, and she looked like a little rabbit.
The more I thought about it, the more itchy my heart became.
The more it tickles, the more it feels like something is missing...
"Miss Hui, he should have taken the bait. Someone has come to inquire just now." Lin Xiuer said to Gu Yuqi, who arrived late at night.
"Are you sure you really want to go this way? It's too late to regret it now." Gu Yuqi said slowly.
"I don't regret it." Lin Xiu'er smiled, "People like me should have died early. Miss, you don't need to persuade anything. The first step has already been taken. If you quit now, wouldn't your previous achievements be forfeited? Don't worry, Miss. Xiu'er will be there. Protect yourself."
"Thank you very much." Gu Yuqi took a step forward, "I may not be able to see you in the future, so be careful about everything, and remember our code for sending letters."
"En." Xiu'er held Gu Yuqi's hand and smiled lightly.
Gu Yuqi said a few more words to Lin Xiuer, and then she asked Lin Xiuer to help her put on the hood, turned around and walked out of the small yard.
Yun Ke was waiting for Gu Yuqi outside the door. Seeing Gu Yuqi coming out, he rushed over to support Gu Yuqi.
Gu Yuqi didn't hide her plan from him, because even if she wanted to, she couldn't hide it. If someone like Yun Ke really wanted to know what she was doing, why couldn't they investigate it.
Since it doesn't make sense for Yun Ke to hide it, why don't you just confess to him.
"Do you think Xiu'er can do it?" Yun Ke looked at the courtyard behind him and said to Gu Yuqi.
"It should be possible." Gu Yuqi didn't really know anything about it, "but Xiuer's clothes are all according to the preferences of the caregiver, it is not difficult to attract his attention, the difficult thing is to enter the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion in the future, She is so self-sufficient. Liu Yue is not a fuel-efficient lamp. She was able to poison my mother in the last life, and the concubine will see that she will not let any woman who can threaten her status appear. "
"En. If she is in danger, I will find a way to get her out of the Dingyuan Hou residence." Yun Ke nodded and said.
"Thank you, my lord." Gu Yuqi raised her eyes and smiled slightly at the man beside her.
Yun Ke, who was very rare to get Gu Yuqi's active smile, couldn't help but look a little crazy.
Although the hood of the cloak half covered her gorgeous face, the shape of the lips exposed in front of her was so beautiful, and the smile on the corner of her lips was so sweet, with a sincerity that she had never had before.
If only time could stop at the moment when she smiled at him.
It's a pity that beautiful moments are always fleeting, and seeing the heat in Yun Ke's eyes, Gu Yuqi couldn't help but retract her smile, and lowered her head a little flustered.
"By the way, why don't we go back to the palace for dinner today?" Yun Ke looked away, Gu Yuqi's smile suddenly disappeared, making Yun Ke feel a little disappointed. He thought about it and said.
"Where are you going then?" Gu Yuqi asked.
"Whatever, the capital is so big, there is always a place to eat." Yun Ke said with a smile. "Let's just walk and stop wherever we go."
"Everything is up to the prince." Gu Yuqi nodded. Shanghai and Guangzhou Gongba.
"Can you not be so polite to me?" Yun Ke sighed silently and said slowly. "You can call me Yun Ke, or Qilang." Gu Yuqi from the previous life called Qilang in his ear.
Now that I think about it, how intimate and beautiful the title of Qilang is.
Gu Yuqi kept her head down and did not speak, but walked quietly with Yun Ke.
"Forget it, call it whatever you like." Yun Ke raised his hand and brushed away the messy strands of hair scattered around Gu Yuqi's cheeks, and sighed, "Everything is up to your wish."
"By the way, has Wang Ye found out the identity of Liu Yue's cousin?" Gu Yuqi asked.
Yun Ke frowned and said, "In Rouran, the identities of the witch doctors are very mysterious, and it is very difficult to trace them, because when they were in Rouran, they did not show their true faces, and when they appeared, they were all painted with oil or paint on their faces. It's wearing a mask. At present, no one can match Liu Yue's cousin."
He paused and continued, "But what is certain is that Liu Yue's life experience is fake. She is a mixed race. Her father is from Rouran, and her mother is from Daqi. She has always said that she is an orphan. , was taken in as a maid by a big family. In fact, her mother was the maid of that family. She was once kidnapped by the Rouran people, and she was pregnant when she came back. She is not an orphan. Just follow the others."
Liu Yue is a mixed race? Gu Yuqi was slightly startled, this was something she didn't know.
At the beginning, she also sent someone to investigate Liu Yue's life experience, but after so many years, it turned out that people on the border died and fled, and it was almost impossible to find out.
