Chapter 181(1/2)
Sunday also rained all day long. The latest and fastest update
The raindrops were thin, like a gossip, foggy everywhere. On the courtyard wall of Gu Mansion, the green vines also fell off their broad and green leaves, barely attached to the wall, without any vitality.
The raindrops falling on the milky white railings accumulated in small quantities. With a breeze, crystal clear raindrops rolled down, falling on the bluestone path, splashing a crystal-like flower.
Gu Qingzhou sat in front of the window and wrote carefully.
She finished all the homework in the school, which was her main business, and Gu Qingzhou could not be abandoned.
Homework was not that easy. She sat for six hours, and she finished all the things she didn't move.
After finishing his homework, Gu Qingzhou stretched out and found a cotton-padded shirt with agarwood and a dark green long skirt in the closet.
Fearing that she would get her shoes wet, she changed into a pair of leather shoes.
The leather shoes are also dark green, connected to her skirt, hidden inside the skirt, not abrupt at all.
After dressing neatly, Gu Qingzhou went to knock on the door of the second concubine's room.
"...Second wife, I'm going to the bookstore. The school asked me to buy two English novels and I'll give an appreciation next month. I'm only remembering now." Gu Qingzhou said.
The second concubine was reading a magazine in the room and heard this and said, "Do you want me to accompany you?"
"No need, it's raining outside, it's so wet, it's so uncomfortable." Gu Qingzhou said.
The second concubine was lazy and didn't want to move, so she said, "Okay, go."
After saying that, she got up and took two dollars to Gu Qingzhou.
Gu Qingzhou said: "Can the driver Lao Sun send me it?"
The Gu family has two cars. Except for the one Gu Guizhang goes to work, the remaining one is to send children to school, Qin Zhengzheng out, etc.
The driver Lao Sun is preparing to send his wife and children.
"Okay." The second concubine said happily.
Gu Qingzhou went downstairs and first went to the downfall where the servant lived, asking Lao Sun to prepare to drive.
"Miss Qingzhou, you still want to go out on such a rainy day?" The servant Mrs. Chen and Gu Qingzhou chatted.
"Yes, go buy some books. Gu Qingzhou said.
Mrs. Chen said that girls should study more at home, now it is no longer as before.
Gu Qingzhou was talking to them without any airs, and Lao Sun parked the car at the door.
Gu Qingzhou got on the car.
After sitting firmly, Lao Sun asked Gu Qingzhou: "Miss Qingzhou, where are you going?"
But Gu Qingzhou was silent.
"First go to the bookstore south of the Virgin Road." Gu Qingzhou said.
The Virgin Road is next to Gu Mansion, close to two streets, less than fifteen minutes walk.
The Gu family is not prominent, and the master will not allow him to give him away at such a close distance.
Waste of oil!
But the other party was Miss Gu Qingzhou, who would marry to the Governor's Mansion in the future. The servant would also observe his words and expressions. Lao Sun was the most clever and cautious. Without saying a word, he drove the car to the bookstore south of the Virgin Road.
Lao Sun drove slowly, and it was only five minutes away.
The bookstore is not big, and there are few guests on rainy days. Behind the glass door, there are lights on. The lights are orange and warm, with a kind of plain warmth.
You can vaguely smell the ink fragrance in the bookstore.
"Miss Qingzhou, it's here." Lao Sun said.
Gu Qingzhou didn't get off the car.
She sat behind, motionless.
Lao Sun was a little surprised. He was the driver of the Gu family. He was paid a meager salary and did not dare to offend the ladies and wives, so he did not dare to look back.
The carriage was quiet, with a light fragrance of roses that could not be dispersed.
But Lao Sun felt very up and down.
What does this mean?
After about two minutes, Lao Sun said again: "Miss Qingzhou, it's here."
He was very responsible, but he just didn't look back. He glanced in the rearview mirror, and Gu Qingzhou sat in his arms with his arms in a quiet expression, as if he was looking at Lao Sun.
Old Sun thumped.
"...I have always been open and honest, and I am not afraid of the ladies and ladies' investigation." Lao Sun comforted himself.
This psychological war lasted for five minutes. Lao Sun was full of doubts and even tense. The defense line in his heart was the easiest to step over, so Gu Qingzhou spoke.
"Old Sun, you always send your wife out. Has your wife been there somewhere to ask you to park the car recently, and then she left in a rickshaw?" Gu Qingzhou asked.
Lao Sun's scalp is numb.
There have been a few times.
But, can this be said? The driver sent the owner out and knew the owner's movements best. If it was unreliable, he would have been fired long ago.
Lao Sun knew very well what he could say and what he couldn't say. He also had to rely on this salary to support the whole family.
"No, Miss Qingzhou." Lao Sun wanted to say with certainty, but his voice trembled involuntarily.
"Old Sun, you are not honest!" Gu Qingzhou's slender and tender little hands gently lifted her thick bangs, revealing her smooth forehead and her bright and cold eyes as bright as ice.
The eyes passed over the car seat and nailed to Lao Sun.
"......... Now that the owner quit his job, he will not say that he doesn't like servants. He only says that the servants are not clean, so as not to gain a mean reputation and not be able to recruit servants in the future." Gu Qingzhou leaned against the back of the chair and said quietly.
This is the truth.
The servant has a low status. Families who can afford to hire servants are all well-known. If you quit your job, you will become a harsh reputation and will simply say that the servants are not clean, so that they will be justified.
Everyone who is a servant knows it, but this bowl of rice still needs to be eaten.
No one dares to ask for the dismissed servants in the future.
Lao Sun is just a driver, and the driver is even more capable. If he is fired by the Gu family, it will be difficult to find anything to do in the future, unless he goes to the dock to work as a coolie.
But the money for working as a coolie at the dock can't support the whole family.
Lao Sun was so scared that he didn't know why he provoked this young lady.
"Miss Qingzhou, your Bodhisattva heart, don't be able to get along with me, a servant." Lao Sun was anxious and almost cried.
What if he is quit, what will happen to his family? Do you see the whole family starving to death?
"I won't be in trouble with you unless I take me to the place where my wife parks and changes cars." Gu Qingzhou said, "Old Sun, you are so smart, I will not treat you badly in the future."
Lao Sun pondered for a while.
Gu Qingzhou has been home for less than a year. She is smart and capable, and the master likes her very much.
A lot of things happened this year. Gu Gongguan was still the same people on the surface, but secretly he had already changed the day.
Compared with Miss Qingzhou, my wife is really not in a state of the weather now.
If the old lady hadn't come, the lady wouldn't even be qualified to serve the table and eat.
Miss Qingzhou will marry to the Governor's Office in the future, and maybe she will take the servant she is used to.
Drivers are very important, and they usually have to use confidants. If they get the favor of Miss Gu Qingzhou, she regards Lao Sun as her confidant, Lao Sun can go to the Governor's Office to do things.
Lao Sun has no big ideals, he just wants to have a higher salary and be able to support all six children.
Lao Sun never dared to offend Gu Qingzhou.
"Miss Qingzhou, I am just a servant." Lao Sun frowned and said nervously, "I took you there today and will take others to the place you went there another day. Lao Sun is also unethical to be a servant."
"Old Sun, I know you are cautious, don't worry. When you are my eyes and ears in the future, I will never doubt you. I have always been using people and do what I say." Gu Qingzhou said.
When it comes to this point, Lao Sun has no choice.
Gu Qingzhou threatened and tempted, Lao Sun repeatedly measured and said, "Miss Qingzhou, you are firmly sitting down."
Lao Sun brought Gu Qingzhou to the south of the city.
The generation in the south of the city is the old city, with old-style houses, wooden doors and windows. People who pass by by chance are all wearing long gowns, and suddenly it seems like they have returned to the previous dynasty.
Lao Sun said to Gu Qingzhou: "Mrs. Every time she gets off at this intersection, I don't have to pick her up. Then she takes a rickshaw and heads southeast."
Lao Sun doesn't know where to go.
Gu Qingzhou nodded.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Lao Sun, let's go back." Gu Qingzhou said.
When he returned to the Virgin Road, Gu Qingzhou went to the watch shop and called Si Xingpei's other restaurant.
The person who answered the phone was Si Xingpei's adjutant.
"............ help me check someone." Gu Qingzhou said.
