093 It seems something happened
Chu Yu looked at her happy look and smiled, "I just said a few words to Tianxiang, but it's nothing big. But you... what are you holding on to?"
Seeing that Chu Yu had changed the topic, Gu Changling was not confused, and did not worry about it. Instead, he opened the brocade box and smiled and said, "This was sent by his grandfather, look." As he spoke, the little girl had already opened the box, and it turned out to be of various styles of clothes inside, which were first-class in both fabric and workmanship.
"These styles are not available in Linzhou yet." Chu Yu picked up a piece of clothing and couldn't help but praise: "This should be customized by the Gu family for the young lady. Just the colored beads sewn on it are expensive."
Gu Changling was rarely shy, "These should be customized by my second brother for me. Only he can get in touch with these rare good things at home. My second brother is an imperial merchant and has a good business style."
Chu Yu knew about this.
Gu Changbai is the money tree and God of Wealth of the Gu family. He is responsible for doing business outside and making money, and is doing well. After the Liu family became more and more prosperous in recent years, he also wanted to compete with the Gu family for the treatment of the imperial merchants, and he always returned in a bad situation. Especially Liu Yunsheng, who is said to be the best among the many children of the Liu family, but compared with Gu Changbai, he is simply unable to compare with other people's shopkeepers.
"Sister Chu, the clothes here were made by my second brother from the Gentiles, and there was no one in the capital. Linglongzhuang can make a batch of them according to this style to ensure that they can be sold at a good price."
Chu Yu thought of this at first sight when she saw these clothes. However, for girls, they don’t like to wear the same clothes as others. If she makes the clothes in batches, it is difficult to guarantee that Gu Changling would be unhappy.
"It's not good to do this." Chu Yu didn't want to be so kind to Gu Changling because of making money.
Although she was determined to terminate the engagement with Gu Changqing, she was sincere and happy during the period she spent with Gu Changling. Even if one day, she and Gu Changqing really got married, she would become sisters with Gu Changling.
Gu Changling didn't mind at all, "It's not scary to wear the same clothes, it's embarrassing to anyone who is ugly. I think I'm very beautiful, not afraid of the same clothes as others wear."
Chu Yu was shocked by her words. Is this girl so lively now?
Since the other party said that, she was not polite, "After this batch of clothes is made, I will share half of the profits. If your second brother has any good styles in the future, you must give them to our Linglongzhuang."
Gu Changling didn't want to exchange a few pieces of clothes for money, but since Chu Yu said that, she was happy, and it would take a long time to go back and forth.
"Since Sister Chu is so generous, I'm not polite." Gu Changling happily put the clothes back into the brocade box, "Lotus, send this box back into the house."
The lotus responded with a smile, and walked carefully towards the house with a brocade box in his arms.
"Miss Gu, someone is looking for Mr. Gu and waiting in Houdeyuan." Yuanxiang trotted in from outside the courtyard, and reported panting when he saw Gu Changling.
Yuanxiang is the maid served by Houdeyuan. After Gu Changling moved in, he followed her to take care of her food and daily life. Usually, Gu Changling rarely takes her maid out and will leave her in the yard.
"Looking for my third brother? Why didn't you go to the yamen? Why did you come to the Chu family?" Gu Changling asked while getting up and going out, "How come he said it was because of it?"
Yuan Xiang panted and said, "The man was wearing an official robe, probably a man from the yamen. The man only said that Lord Gu and Lord An had an accident outside the city..."
Gu Changling no longer cared about it and ran out of the yard. Seeing this, Chu Yu also felt that things might be a little bad. When she was in Linglong Village, she heard that they were investigating a missing person case recently. Could it be because of this?
After Chu Yu gave a few instructions to the lotus that had just been returned, he ran out as well.
Zhang Sheng, the constable of the visiting yamen, according to his words, Gu Changqing and An Mingming have recently investigated the disappearance cases outside the city. The missing person has happened for a long time, and some people have reported to the officials before, but Li Chengde was not interested in these things at all and has never sent anyone to investigate them thoroughly. Therefore, this matter has been pressed down. Until the first day Gu Changqing took office, a woman reported the case, saying that his daughter was missing inexplicably. After asking, she found out that in the past six months, there were dozens of girls in Linzhou who had been inexplicably missing.
Gu Changqing and An Mingming clearly realized something was wrong, so they began to lead people to conduct a thorough investigation in person. This investigation found an inconspicuous village outside the city.
"When they went out, didn't they bring other constables?" Chu Yu asked in a deep voice.
Zhang Sheng shook his head, "Mr. Gu and Lord An only said to go and take a look, so they didn't bring the constable. However, according to the usual time, the two adults should have come back long ago, but this time there was no movement. The subordinates were worried that something would happen to the adults, so they quietly went over to check it out. After seeing this, they found that there were many guards outside the village where everything was as usual. They looked fierce and cautious. The subordinates waited for a long time and did not see the two adults. After returning to the government office, they did not see them. Then they felt something was wrong."
Gu Changling instantly lost his mind and looked at Chu Yu with an anxious look on his face, "Sister Chu, my third brother won't have any trouble, right?" After that, he was already crying.
Chu Yu reached out and hugged her in her arms, gently stroked her back and persuaded softly: "Your brother's martial arts are not weak, so there will be no trouble."
Even though Gu Changling is calm and intelligent on weekdays, she is just a little sister who is worried about something that her brother has.
This is how people are. When some things happen to themselves, they will lose their minds in an instant.
"Da Mao, take the Gu family's secret guards and guards with me to the village outside the city to see. Chang Ling stays here to wait for the news." Chu Yu looked at Zhang Sheng again, "You are leading the way in front."
Gu Changling grabbed Chu Yu's sleeve and refused to let go, "Sister Chu, take me with me, I'm worried about my brother."
Chu Yu comforted with a good temper: "Chang Ling, the situation there may not be very optimistic, and you don't know martial arts, so there must be some danger. We not only have to escape ourselves, but also find a way to bring you with us, which will increase the difficulty coefficient. So, for the sake of your safety and everyone's safety, should you stay, okay?"
When Gu Changling heard this, he stopped fighting for it. He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, nodded constantly, and said, "I understand, Sister Chu must pay attention to safety."
"Don't worry." Chu Yu patted Gu Changling on the shoulder, then followed Zhang Sheng with Damao and others.
The yard, which was a little noisy just now, became quiet in an instant.
There was no one else in the yard. Gu Changling slowly wiped his tears, and the worried expression on his face swept away. She looked at the sky gradually getting darker and murmured in a low voice: "Brother, it's rare, you have to cheer up!"
