Chapter 5
Steward Song wrapped the snake as it was, walked up to Song Zixi, and whispered for a while.

The 17-year-old boy nodded with surprise, "Uncle Song, please announce the result."

Steward Song straightened his robes, bowed to everyone, and then said, "Today's spring hunting, I announce that No. 1 is the Gu family."

"Mingzhu, you are No.1!" Shen Yuying hugged her happily, and hugged her twice, looking even happier than her client.

"No.1 Hahahaha Pearl No.1."

No one refuted.

Qi Feiyan in the crowd turned pale and rushed out: "Why! I don't accept it! I just hunted two snakes, so why is it No. 1? You all favored her, you colluded! You cheated!"

Steward Song explained patiently: "Miss Qi, it's not that I'm partial. The three-eyed green-eyed snake is a rare thing. In the spring hunting rules, although it is set to win by quantity, there is another rule that if you hunt it Strange things can be worth tens of millions."

Qi Feiyan was shocked and said angrily: "What a broken rule! She got No.1? How could she get No.1! You cheated!"

Compared to Qi Feiyan's coquettishness, someone questioned: "Song Steward, no one in Gusu City knows that Gu Mingzhu can't bow and crossbow. These two snakes must have been shot by Wu Yue. This is cheating!"

Qi Feiyan's expression suddenly changed with anger, and she immediately became proud: "Gu Mingzhu, you cheated!" His tone couldn't hide his sarcasm.

Gu Mingzhu looked at her coldly: "Who said I don't know how to bow and crossbow?"

"Who can't show off? If you say you can, then prove it to us!"

"That's right, who can't boast? I also said that I am the Jade Emperor. Are you going to worship me?"

Wu Yue said with a sullen face, "Win or lose has been decided, are you planning to play tricks?"

"Yo, what are you talking about, Master Wu? We're just discussing the matter..."

Gu Mingzhu knew that if they were not allowed to shut up today, the bet would be untenable.She looked at the archery target not far away, and suddenly asked Shen Yuying next to her in a low voice, "Where's the handkerchief?"

Although Shen Yuying was puzzled, she still handed over the handkerchief.

Gu Mingzhu folded up her handkerchief, covered her eyes, stretched out her hand and raised her voice, "Here comes the bow and arrow."

Everyone was shocked, did she want to shoot the target blindfolded?
Someone sent a bow and arrow, Gu Mingzhu took it, took two steps forward, and set the arrow.

"No way? If this is really a hit, the Qi family's face will be completely lost..." Someone whispered.

"It's just a trick. Even if she is blindfolded, she still has something to say."

Gu Mingzhu held her breath and concentrated, the voices of people around were noisy, the strong wind blew her black hair, her clothes were flying, and the girl stood in the center of the arena.

call out!
muffled sound.

The noisy crowd fell silent.

Hit the bullseye!

Qi Feiyan's face became extremely ugly.

"Good!" Someone couldn't help cheering.

"it is good!"

Gu Mingzhu tore off the handkerchief, smiled, and said loudly amidst a burst of praise: "Young Master Wang, can I be regarded as good at bow and crossbow like this?"

It was the second son of the Wang family who just said that Gu Mingzhu cheated.

Wang Ren smiled awkwardly: "Naturally."

Qi Feiyan blushed and shouted: "Gu Mingzhu, you cheated! You must have cheated! This handkerchief must not have covered your eyes!"

"Shut up, Yanyan!" Qi Ming pulled her down.He looked at Gu Mingzhu with a troubled expression, saluted with his hands, and said, "Miss Gu, my younger sister was ignorant before, so I ask you to have a lot of it, and don't be fussy like Yanyan."

Gu Mingzhu was unmoved: "Master Qi's words are wrong. Your sister is a year older than me. How can I be an adult? Besides, I am willing to make a bet with her. With the witness of Young Master Song, Everyone present heard with their own ears that the Qi family wants to go back on their word?"

With some words mixed with guns and sticks, he mocked Qi Feiyan who was older than her but felt like a needle's eye, and moved out of Zhizhou Song's family to put pressure on Qi Ming, who was so young, he was choked speechless for a while.

After winning the bet, Gu Mingzhu was in a happy mood. She looked around, her eyes fell on Qi Feiyan, she smiled dazzlingly, and said, "Tomorrow morning, I will be in front of Gu's house, waiting for Miss Qi's three heads."

After leaving the school grounds, the Gu family's carriage was waiting outside, and it was already dark when they got home. Gu Mingzhu ate a few mouthfuls of food and went to bed early.

On the second day, Gu Mingzhu had just had breakfast when Uncle Fu, the housekeeper, came to report, "Miss, I have taken out the snake gall according to your instructions and soaked it in wine."

"Send one of them to the Wu Mansion."

"Yes." The housekeeper responded and said, "When I came, the master told me to let the young lady go to the study after breakfast."

Gu Mingzhu put down the book in her hand, and said, "What did you say?"

"It should be for Xiangbei's affairs."

Gu Mingzhu nodded and said, "I see."

Uncle Fu withdrew.

When Gu Mingzhu arrived at the study, Gu Ruyan was having a headache about Xiangbei.

"Daddy." Gu Mingzhu called out, looked at the books piled up on the table, and said, "What happened to Xiangbei?"

Gu Ruyan handed her the account book in his hand, and said: "A few days ago, your second uncle wrote a letter saying that the business in Xiangbei is losing money every year, and this is not a long-term solution, so he sent the account book to Gusu for me to have a look at."

Gu Mingzhu said: "The second uncle suspects that the account book has been tampered with?"

Gu Ruyan's face was sullen, his brows were tightly furrowed, and he said, "That's what your second uncle meant. He and Fu San have turned over all the wrinkled accounts and can't tell. The manpower and material resources spent in Xiangbei in recent years There are many, and it is really strange to lose money for three consecutive years.”

Gu Mingzhu flipped through the account book, but didn't see any tricks, and said, "Then why did Daddy come here for me?"

Gu Ruyan said: "For the affairs of Xiangbei, someone who can do it must go there. Your brother is not at home now. I will go to Beijing in a few days. Apart from the incidents in the capital, I also need to discuss with the Yun family. You and Yun Zhao's wedding date, you have to think about it, and you have to make a trip to Xiangbei."

Gu Mingzhu said: "Xiangbei belongs to Kyushu, and it will take more than a month to go back and forth."

"It's urgent, pack up and get ready to go."

Gu Mingzhu nodded, and Gu Ruyan said again: "By the way, I heard that you won the bet with that girl from the Qi family."

Gu Mingzhu curled her lips and said, "The news spread so fast, even my father knew about it."

"You, you... Forget it, let you go." Gu Ruyan shook his head helplessly, and finally remembered something, and said, "I almost forgot, let's put the matter of going to Xiangbei for later, and wait for Yun Zhao Go to the door, the two of you have some talk before leaving, and you should arrive in a day or two."

Gu Mingzhu agreed, and after a few more gossips, she exited the study.

The most urgent task at the moment is the matter of Xiangbei.

In the previous life, Yunzhao went to Gusu tomorrow. At the beginning, I put all my thoughts on him and didn't go to Xiangbei. Later, I heard nothing about the incident in Xiangbei. Two years later, the Gu family withdrew to the shop in the north.

Since he decided to go to Xiangbei, he had to find someone to help.
