Chapter 67 Find someone

"Yes." Gu Chongyang nodded: "Don't use too much denomination, just exchange two 50 taels, and change the rest to ten taels or five taels. This way, it will be convenient for him to use on the road."

"Miss." Lu Wu said worriedly: "500 taels is not a small amount, you must think it over carefully. What if this Gu Tailai is unreliable, what should we do?"

Wealth touches people's hearts!

What's more, Gu Tai has only been with Miss for a few months, how can he be reliable?

There are so many people who can't earn 500 taels in their lifetime, it's too childish for the young lady to give it to Gu Tailai so casually.

Luwu had to remind Gu Chongyang to think twice before acting.

"No." Gu Chongyang said categorically: "It's not necessary to suspect people, but to employ people. I believe that Gu Tailai is not that kind of person. Just prepare the bank notes for me."

Although Luwu disapproved all over her face, but now her master is Gu Chongyang alone, and it is her mission to obey her master unconditionally.

In half a day, she prepared the money.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Gu Tai came to the Begonia Hall to bid farewell.

Gu Chongyang handed over the silver ticket to him, and told him: "You keep 30 taels with you, and you put the remaining 470 taels in your pocket and hide it in your clothes. You must never take it out on the road."

He is a teenager with huge wealth on his body, if he is seen by others, the consequences will be disastrous.

Gu Tailai took it with both hands, and said solemnly: "Miss, don't worry, I will definitely go back early and bring back all the old people around Madam."

"It's inconvenient for me to take you out, so be careful on your way."

Gu Tailai suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Gu Chongyang: "Miss, I will definitely live up to your trust. Wait for my good news."

"it is good!"

After he left for ten days, Gu Chongyang asked Dan Xin every day if he had any news about Gu Tailai.But to Gu Chongyang's disappointment, after 20 days, there is still no news from Gu Tailai.

As time passed, Gu Chongyang's brows became tighter and tighter.

She is worried.

It takes only four days to travel from Tongzhou Port to Dongchangfu in Shandong Province. Even if the weather is bad, it can be reached in six days.In this way, it takes only twelve days to go back and forth.Half a month is enough, but now it's been 20 days, and there is still no news from Gu Tailai.

The haze in Gu Chongyang's heart is getting heavier and heavier, and he is always worried that something will happen.

Qingzhi whispered to Lvwu, worried that Gu Tailai would take the money and run away, but she didn't mention it in front of her, and only persuaded her in a subtle way, money is something outside of the body, and if you lose money to eliminate disasters, 500 taels is not counted anyway many such.

Although Gu Chongyang was pleased with their thoughtfulness, he felt that they didn't understand him too well.

500 taels is indeed a lot for others.But to her, 500 taels is really nothing.Regardless of past and present lives, she has never worried about money.

What she was worried about was whether Gu Tai's trip to Shandong did not go well.He was looking for people, and he wanted to buy them back. No matter how clever he was, he was only a child of twelve or thirteen years old.Along the way, how he inquired about the news, how to find the buyer's house, and how to buy the person back are all problems.

Gu Chongyang couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the money he brought was accidentally discovered, so something happened?
Compared to encountering an accident, Gu Chongyang would rather Gu Tailai ran away with a banknote than to be robbed or killed.

Dan Xin said: "Miss, don't worry, I asked my godmother to inquire about the news of the ship coming from Tongzhou yesterday. I will go and ask now."

"Really? I didn't expect you to have a godmother." Gu Chongyang said as if grabbing a life-saving straw: "You have a heart, go and ask, come back and tell me if you have any news."

Dan Xin nodded and went, Gu Chongyang looked at the maids and women in the yard who were doing their jobs, and fell silent again.

The man killed his mother, so he must be on guard against himself.She wanted to check, but she couldn't do it in a big way, she could only do it calmly.Otherwise, the more alert the other party is, the less hope you will have of catching the murderer behind the scenes.

"Miss, you should sleep for a while." Lu Wu said, "I'm afraid Dan Xin won't come back so soon."

Taking a nap every day is her habit.

Gu Chongyang lay on the bed with his clothes on as he said, and said to Lu Wu: "Dan Xin is back, wake me up immediately."

In a daze, Gu Chongyang fell asleep, because there was something in the letter, she closed her eyes and opened them not long after.

Just when Dan Xin came back, she sat up from the bed all of a sudden: "How is it?"

Dan Xin's face was ugly, and the moment her eyes met Gu Chongyang, she suddenly lowered her head: "Miss, my godmother said that three days ago, two passenger boats capsized on the river from Cangzhou to Tongzhou, and one of them capsized. The ship came from Shandong."

How could this be?
Gu Chongyang was originally full of expectations, but at this moment, she felt as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on her head in winter, and she was completely frozen.

Luwu and Qingzhi also gasped, and didn't recover for a long time.

In the living room, which was originally as warm as spring, the atmosphere suddenly became extremely gloomy, and no one spoke.

Qingzhi was the first to react, she forced a smile and said: "Miss, don't worry, maybe Gu Tailai will be able to suck water..."

Gu Chongyang doesn't know whether Gu Tailai can swim or not, but she knows that in such a cold day, except fish can live in the river, other things will freeze to death if they fall into it.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Hearing her unreliable consolation, Luwu hurriedly scolded: "Gu Tailai is such a smart person, how could he get on a boat that would capsize? He must not be on the boat. We're on board, and we'll be back in a few days."

Qing Zhi just woke up like a dream, and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Lu Wu is right, Gu Tailai must not be on that ship, don't listen to my nonsense."

Regret, sadness, self-blame, and loss, at this moment, Gu Chongyang's heart was like knocking over a bottle of five flavors, all kinds of tastes of sour, bitter, spicy, salty came to his heart together.

She sat in a chair, not saying a word, very uncomfortable.

How did that happen?

It has been more than a month since her mother passed away, and she has learned nothing except that her mother committed suicide by suicide.Now, it is possible that Gu Tailai's life may be at stake.

She is really incompetent!

There is nothing to do except to beat the table and stamp your feet here.

On February [-], when the dragon raised its head, and when the spring breeze came, the noble ladies and noble ladies in the capital were the first to take off their heavy jackets and put on light quilted jackets.On this day, the wife and miss of the Gu family made an appointment to go for an outing in the suburbs of Beijing together. They also went with several in-laws from the Qingyang Hou Mansion.

This kind of entertainment, Gu Chongyang, who is filial to his mother, can't go, and of course, she doesn't want to go either.

She just wants to sort out what happened recently, and she must plan well for the future.

Whenever she can't calm down, she picks up a pen to practice calligraphy.In her past and present lives, she was always an impetuous person, and it was rare for her to sink down and practice calligraphy.But now, she forced herself to be quiet, because only when she was quiet could her thoughts be clear.

The sunshine of February cast in through the window pasted with Korean bamboo cotton paper, bright and lively, and her clumsy and rusty handwriting was particularly conspicuous on the fine rice paper.

But she didn't seem to see it, she didn't care at all, and just kept writing seriously.

"Miss." As the curtain of embroidered spring breeze and peach blossoms bloomed up and down, Dan Xin ran in happily: "Gu Tailai is back."

Gu Chongyang paused while holding the Hubi, and a large ball of ink fell on the white and flat rice paper, and quickly blurred.

In the past, she would have sighed "This piece of paper is wasted again".

But this time, she dropped the pen as if she hadn't seen it, and asked in surprise and joy: "Is it true? When did you come back? Did he come back alone? Please invite him in." "

Gu Chongyang asked one after another, Dan Xin didn't know which one to answer.

"It's true, how dare I lie to Miss. He just arrived, and I only saw him." Dan Xin hurriedly opened the curtain and shouted to the door: "Come in quickly, Miss has been waiting for you for a long time. "

Gu Tailai was still wearing the clothes he had gone out, with a dusty appearance, although he was tired, he was full of smiles.As soon as he entered the door, he took off the little hat on his head and kowtowed to Gu Chongyang: "Miss, I'm back."

"Get up, get up, finally you're back in full order." Gu Chongyang looked him up and down, with a very excited expression: "Tai Lai, you made me wait. How is it? It's going well." ?”

Gu Tailai grinned, with a bit of pride: "Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life! Miss, I found him."

"Really?" Gu Chongyang couldn't help but his eyes lit up, this was simply the best news she had heard in the past month or so.

"How many people, where are they? Have you redeemed them?"

"Two people were found, and they were redeemed." Gu Tailai reported to Gu Chongyang carefully: "One is the woman who sweeps the floor in the madam's yard named Zhong Po, and the other is the laundry maid named Biyun."
