Chapter 204: Radiant(1/2)
After returning from the newspaper, Gu Qingzhou was in a very good mood.
She went to find Jin Man, and looked at his way, wanting to try her luck. Unexpectedly, her luck was so good that she was actually found out.
She found out what she wanted most!
If you want to leave Yuecheng, it is best to take the Chen family's ship.
However, the Chen family of ships relied on arms and opium to travel from China to India. This was the way for the British to make money, and they should be more careful.
Not very important friends, they won't help.
"It must be related to the Chen family, so the Chen family owes me a favor." Gu Qingzhou thought.
Gu Qingzhou wanted to get the Gu family's business by June next year, get the Gu family's property, and let Gu Guizhang plead guilty by herself; at the same time, she hoped to get her graduation certificate.
The graduation certificate from Santa Maria Middle School is a stepping stone for her. In the future, she can go to college or work as a clerk in the factory, and she must get it.
Then, at the latest in June, she will end it all.
After leaving Yuecheng, Gu Qingzhou wanted to go to Nanyang with her wet nurse.
I heard that there are many Chinese in Nanyang, and their business is easy to do, and you can gain a foothold with a little bit of help.
Taking the water route to Nanyang was her best choice. However, she didn't know the water route very well, and she also grasped Si Xingpei's secrets, so Si Xingpei would definitely not let her go.
She needs to be quietly.
Gu Qingzhou originally thought that maybe he would ask which ship is easier to smuggle.
But she thought that Gu Shao had just asked a few people in the story to find out his identity and immediately leaked the news. Even Si Mu knew what he was looking for.
The line of inquiring about news is really transparent to the young marshal of the military government with intelligence networks.
If Gu Qingzhou goes to inquire about the ship, Si Xingpei will know in an hour.
Once Si Xingpei knew about it, this road would be blocked. The waterway would be blocked, and other roads would be even more difficult to travel.
She hesitated for a few days and accidentally saw the news in the newspaper. She thought of those newspaper people with high qualifications. The secrets they knew were more than Gu Qingzhou imagined.
Gu Qingzhou studied a few tabloids and found that a main writer named "Jin Man" was simply knowledgeable, and he liked to write about the secrets of wealthy families, and almost everything was written.
Gu Qingzhou studied his articles and felt that he knew a lot, especially familiar with the wharf.
Many of his Gu Shao are related to the docks, but he can see that he is familiar with the way.
Sure enough, he told Gu Qingzhou the secret he wanted to know while he was boasting.
Gu Qingzhou also wants to inquire again to see if Jin Man's words are true.
With a plan ahead, Gu Qingzhou's heart became more stable.
The day before New Year's Eve, when Gu Qingzhou was still considering inquiring about the Chen family, Yan Luoshui arrived at the Gu family in the middle of the night.
Gu Qingzhou took off his coat and went to bed. The maid said that Miss Yan was coming, and Gu Qingzhou was slightly stunned.
Her sudden arrival scared Gu Qingzhou. Yan Luoshui was rarely willful. If she visited her, it would definitely be during the day, and she would call her first to make an appointment.
Something big happened if you come so uninvited!
Gu Qingzhou hurried downstairs.
When she came, the second concubine was already sitting with Yan Luoshui, and the servant even served hot tea.
Yan Luoshui didn't want to drink tea, so she put down the teacup and smiled and said to the second concubine: "I'll sleep with Qingzhou today, don't you disturb me, right?"
"If you don't bother, don't bother, where is Miss Yan?" The second concubine smiled gently and gentle, and she was quite flattering to Yan Luoshui and did not make any mistakes.
Gu Qingzhou took Yan Luoshui upstairs.
As soon as he entered the room, Yan Luoshui pounced on Gu Qingzhou's bed, buried his face between the pillow mats.
"What's wrong with Luoshui?" Gu Qingzhou asked.
Yan Luoshui said: "Your pillow is so fragrant and has the smell of roses. I want to sleep with you!"
She didn't answer, but instead talked about him.
"My mom knows you're here?" Gu Qingzhou asked again, "Why did you run out alone in the middle of the night?"
"I'm a little thirsty. Do you have clear water? Your servant brought me tea just now. What kind of tea should I drink this night?" Yan Luoshui said to himself.
She talked completely to herself and did not accept Gu Qingzhou's move.
Gu Qingzhou said, "I'll go down and pour you a glass of boiling water."
Yan Luoshui nodded.
After Gu Qingzhou poured the boiling water, he asked the maid Miaoer to bring it to Yan Luoshui, and she herself called Mrs. Yan.
On the other end of the phone, Mrs. Yan said weakly and short-sighedly: "Qingzhou, thank you for taking care of her. I will send someone to pick her up tomorrow morning."
"What's wrong?" Gu Qingzhou asked again.
Mrs. Yan said, "You can't explain it clearly on the phone in a few words. You will come together tomorrow, and you will talk about it when you come."
Gu Qingzhou said yes.
She hung up the phone and went upstairs and found that Yan Luoshui was actually pretending to be asleep.
"Luo Shui, change your pajamas before sleeping." Gu Qingzhou pushed her.
Yan Luoshui ignored it.
Gu Qingzhou stood beside the bed and stared at her.
As it was quite cold this day, Yan Luoshui felt embarrassed to let Gu Qingzhou stand beside him in pajamas, sighed like a maid, and got up angrily.
"What's going on?" Gu Qingzhou asked, "If you haven't arrived at my house, I won't ask. You can run out in the middle of the night, this is a big deal."
Yan Luoshui didn't want to say anything, just sighed.
In the end, I still didn't ask.
The next day, Gu Qingzhou waited for Yan Luoshui to have breakfast and exchanged greetings with the Gu family. Then the two of them took the bus to the Yan family.
Yan Yiyuan was waiting at the door early.
Seeing Yan Luoshui, Yan Yiyuan seemed to be a thief: "My mother was angry all night and didn't sleep last night. Be careful. I have to leave. I can't get into trouble today!"
Yan Luoshui grabbed his arm: "Don't you help me?"
"Are you my sister, are you embarrassed to let your brother share the suffering?" Yan Yiyuan said.
"Do you admit that I am my sister now?" Yan Luoshui was not angry.
Even so, he couldn't hold Yan Yiyuan back. Yan Yiyuan was afraid that the fire in the city gate would cause the fish to fall, and ran away and disappeared.
Gu Qingzhou took Yan Luoshui to Mrs. Yan's yard.
Yan Xinnong sat on the sofa, flipping through a newspaper, and holding a cup of tea in his hand.
He shook the newspaper and pointed to the sofa next to him, and said to Yan Luoshui and Gu Qingzhou: "Sit down."
Mrs. Yan didn't get up and was still in the inner room.
Gu Qingzhou looked into the inner room and vaguely saw Mrs. Yan changing clothes.
After a moment, Mrs. Yan came out.
For a moment, everyone was silent again.
Gu Qingzhou was confused, wondering what he said about looking at each other, and looked at them in a daze.
Yan Xinnong cleared his throat and spoke first: "The children of the Xie family do not linger in brothels, nor do they get involved in tobacco and casinos. They are decent and beautiful, knowledgeable, and they are considered very good in-laws."
Gu Qingzhou understood at this time. She couldn't help but interrupt: "The third young master of the Xie family is going to get engaged to Luo Shui?"
Yan Luo's head was buried lower, and he was trapped in the sofa; Mrs. Yan was as heavy as water and did not speak.
"Yes, Qingzhou." Yan Xinnong replied to Gu Qingzhou, "We are discussing this matter."
"There is nothing to discuss, I don't agree!" Mrs. Yan said, "My daughter, I raised her like a baby, and I didn't even look at her, and it ruined her! What is marriage? It's a woman's second reincarnation.
Women are all trees. When they fall into good soil, they will grow lush branches and leaves, bloom and bear fruit in the future, and will protect their descendants; if they fall into bad soil, they will wither and wither and die young!
What kind of person is Xie San? You have seen it in recent years. If he has a heart for Luo Shui, he will not be like this. Marry him, whisper to please him in a low voice, and suffer the hardships of his life?"
"I would like this." Yan Luoshui did not look up, but his voice was buzzing.
"I don't agree."
"You can't arrange a marriage, and the government does not recommend it." Yan Luoshui retorted, and his voice insisted, "You have asked me to agree with my marriage."
"You were reincarnated into my stomach at that time. Have you ever asked me to agree? I was pregnant for ten months and gave birth to you just to make you beaten up?" Mrs. Yan said.
The mother and daughter were tit-for-tat, but none of them showed their timidity first.
"I feel happy." Yan Luoshui said, "I marry the man I like, and I am willing to suffer any hardships; if the price doesn't like it, I will not be happy no matter how kind he is to me."
"Women, they have to marry well for themselves!" said Mrs. Yan.
Yan Luoshui insisted: "I don't want it. I don't like that man's words. No matter how kind he is to me, I feel disgusted!"
They can't hold on, and no one can convince anyone.
