Chapter 41 Taking the opportunity to extort

Seeing that Gu Guizhang and Gu Qingzhou had not eaten, the third concubine went upstairs to have a secret talk, so she asked Miaoer to bring the cheesecake and British black tea freshly prepared in the kitchen and send it in.

Miao'er understands her mind and has smart eyes.

When Gu Guizhang brought in, he finished smoking a cigar. His stomach was indeed empty. The time happened, so Gu Guizhang was not angry.

"Who asked you to send it?" Gu Guizhang asked.

"It's the third concubine." Miao'er whispered.

A little satisfaction flashed in Gu Guizhang's eyes: his two concubines were Jie Yuhua, much better than Qin Zhengzheng.

He hated Qin Zhengzheng more and more, and regretted not giving her a title. If she was still the concubine, she would probably not be so ignorant!

A woman, just can’t give her a too much face!

Gu Qingzhou sat on the chair next to him, holding a white porcelain plate in his hand, and digging the fragrant cake with a hollow carved silver spoon. He moistened his fingertips and had a slender expression.

Gu Guizhang looked at her and thought, "After all, I grew up in the countryside, I am very simple and easy to use, and I may be more useful than squid."

When Gu Qingzhou finished a piece of cake and started drinking British black tea, Gu Guizhang slowly spoke: "Qingzhou, if the affairs of the school are taught, it will be much easier and will not delay your study."

He wanted Gu Qingzhou to ask the governor, but he was unwilling to sell favors, so Gu Guizhang made a plan to do his best.

Gu Qingzhou raised his eyes, his eyes were like light blue gems, shining brightly, and a little clean in his simplicity, making people feel comfortable to see.

"The General of the Ministry went to patrol the garrison and returned to Yuecheng after the first month." Gu Qingzhou said.

This was what Mrs. Si told her.

After the first month of the year, it will be too late!

Gu Guizhang was anxious and his thoughts were not going well, and waves of irritability surged into his heart.

"Where is Mrs. Si?" Gu Guizhang restrained his urgency and said slowly like a kind father, "I can't delay your study."

It seems that everything is considered for Gu Qingzhou.

"I can go and ask Mrs. Si." Gu Qingzhou said.

Gu Guizhang slowly breathed a sigh of relief and drank two sips of black tea, thinking that Gu Qingzhou was just Gu Qingzhou, young and simple, and knew nothing.

She let go, and Gu Guizhang could continue to talk.

"Qingzhou, you are transferring to the church school. Those female classmates are in groups of three or five. If no one takes care of you, wouldn't you be angry?" Gu Guizhang said.

Gu Qingzhou nodded.

Gu Guizhang said again: "Then you have to tell Mrs. Si that your two sisters should also stay in school."

"Will the church school listen to Mrs. Si's words?" Gu Qingzhou asked, "I heard that the church school is run by Americans."

"Of course I will listen. The military government and the church school are visitors. No matter how hard they dare not give face to the military government!" Gu Guizhang was proud.

Gu Qingzhou lowered his eyes and rolled her eyes a few times under the cover of her thick feather eyelashes.

"Qingzhou, you will go to see Mrs. Si tomorrow." Gu Guizhang said.

Gu Qingzhou still looked obedient and whispered yes.

Gu Guizhang finally calmed down a little.

If it weren't for the desperate situation, Gu Guizhang really didn't want to use Gu Qingzhou to go to the military government.

Of course, this is not for Gu Qingzhou, but for Gu Guizhang himself, he is unwilling to expose his own face too early.

Now I'm troubled the Governor's Office everywhere, and Mrs. Si looks down on the Gu family even more. If she refuses to marry Gu Qingzhou, wouldn't Gu Guizhang be beaten up?

With this concern, Gu Guizhang tried not to bother Mrs. Si before Gu Qingzhou got married. Now, he had no choice but to have to use Gu Qingzhou!

Thinking of this, Gu Guizhang hated Qin Zhengzheng again, because it was all the trouble that Qin Zhengzheng caused to him, making him feel like walking on thin ice.

Gu Qingzhou smiled, obviously, she didn't know anything. This daughter was very useful, and Gu Guizhang was a little satisfied.

The next morning, Gu Guizhang personally sent someone to send Gu Qingzhou to the Governor's Office.

Gu Qingzhou's visit in the first month of the year can be said to be a New Year's greeting. Although the governor was not at home, Mrs. Si was not particularly harsh and still received her.

"My grandmother's illness, thank you Miss Gu!" Si Qiongzhi sat on the sofa and said to Gu Qingzhou softly.

Si Qiongzhi is an amazing girl. When she looked at Gu Qingzhou, the contempt in her eyes was full of beauty.

Gu Qingzhou smiled.

Mrs. Si asked: "Do you have something to do today?"

"It's okay, I just look at you." Gu Qingzhou said with a smile.

Mrs. Si's eyes sank, thinking that next time it's okay, don't come, who cares about your visit?

After chatting for a few words, Mrs. Si took the initiative to expel the guests.

Gu Qingzhou left the Governor's Mansion.

"Have you met Mrs. Si?" When Gu Guizhang came back from the Si family, he was not at home. The third concubine asked whispered, "Qingzhou, you have not yet got a future, don't call anyone a gun!"

The third concubine now relies on Gu Qingzhou and wants Gu Qingzhou to help her avenge her. She is even more afraid that Gu Qingzhou will lose the position of the young lady of the Si Governor's Office.

"I have a clear idea in my heart." Gu Qingzhou said, his eyes calm.

The third concubine nodded.

When it touched Gu Qingzhou's eyes, the quiet and simple but sharp and cold eyes, the third concubine trusted her inexplicably.

Gu Qingzhou is more capable than the third concubine imagined. She is definitely a better support for the third concubine!

"What did Mrs. Si say?" The third concubine said with concern.

"I didn't mention this at all, I just went to visit Mrs. Si and sat for a while." Gu Qingzhou said.

The third concubine breathed a sigh of relief.

"But your father's place..." The third concubine was worried again.

"Don't worry, I already have Zhang Liang's plan." Gu Qingzhou smiled.

Her smile, pure but a few cunning touches, made the third concubine calm down.

She believed in this child for no reason, and the third concubine herself became crazy.

Does Gu Qingzhou really have the ability to bewitch people’s hearts?

In the afternoon, Gu Guizhang, who went out for social activities, went home early.

Seeing that Gu Qingzhou had already returned, Gu Guizhang's eyebrows were slightly loose, and he felt a little joy in his heart. He immediately asked the servant to call Gu Qingzhou to the study.

Gu Guizhang was in a good mood and asked Gu Qingzhou straight to the point: "What do you say about Mrs. Si?"

Gu Qingzhou lowered his eyebrows and said with guilt: "Mrs. said that the governor went to the garrison. The church was involved in politics. The governor hated women interfering in politics the most, and the wife did not dare to ask."

Gu Guizhang was slightly stunned, but unexpectedly he was rejected, and his face looked ugly for a moment.

At the same time, he did not doubt that this was Gu Qingzhou's excuse. What kind of politics and military affairs did Gu Qingzhou, a country girl, understand? It must be what Mrs. Si means.

Believe Gu Qingzhou's words without doubt, Gu Guizhang was irritated and wandered around the room!

What should I do?

Do you want him to go to the Governor's Mansion in person and ask Mrs. Si?

That's a bit ugly!

Gu Guizhang was afraid that Mrs. Si would mind, so he really withdrew from Gu Qingzhou's marriage.

Let Qin Zhengzheng go?

No, that idiot Qin Zhengzheng will only mess up things!

The two concubines were smart, but their status was low, so they asked them to plead with Mrs. Si, which lowered Mrs. Si's status, as if the concubines could talk to Mrs. Si, which was undoubtedly an insult to Mrs. Si.

After thinking about it, Gu Guizhang was at a loss, and the haze filled his heart again. He snorted with annoyance.

"......Mrs. Si said that if the Gu family is really embarrassed, she can ask others to do it, ensuring that it is not involved in politics and not making it difficult for the Governor's Office to do it. However, it would be impossible to get rid of the money for someone to do it without two small yellow croakers." Gu Qingzhou said again.
