Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 40 Bargaining
"That's right. The Gu Family Temple is too small to accommodate a Bodhisattva like Steward Fu. It's a good thing for you to find another job, or go back and become a local rich man."

Not because of the tension between the two men, Mrs. Zhang smiled instead.

With a gentle smile, she said lightly: "If Steward Fu wants to leave, let's go! I won't stay either...Mother Xu, Steward Renfu is not a servant of our Gu family. We are not a yamen, so it is difficult to investigate after all. However, this little bitch, Luluo, is our family's servant, and we should take care of this rightly!"

Without even looking at Gu Fu, Mrs. Zhang was smiling, but she spoke extremely venomously, "Drag this little bitch out, use everyone's methods, and directly kill this evil seed..."

"No!" Luluo yelled in fright, clutching her stomach, leaning towards Gu Fu, "Madam, please, let me go, let my child go!"

Gu Fu was also frightened by Mrs. Zhang's sudden move, and he was a little flustered as he protected Luluo, "Mr. Zhang, what are you trying to do? Don't forget, there was a law for kindness today, and death with a stick" Slaves will also be punished."

"Well, is it a fine or something?" Mrs. Zhang looked at Gu Fu and smiled, "I'm a woman, so I really don't know much about this law. But when did I say that I would kill Luluo? girl?"

Turning her head, she looked at Gu Yong and said with a smile: "Officer, our Gu family has been innocent for generations, but now a stinky girl has ruined our innocence. Do you think that such a girl should be taught a lesson?"

"That's natural, lady, this girl can't do without a lesson!"

Although he never cares about his family, Gu Yong still speaks this kind of accent.

The two husbands and wives sang in unison, which made Gu Fu helpless.

"Officer, lady, it's a guest-host event after all, you two should give Gu Fu a face and sell this girl to me!"

"How is this good? Our Gu family is not human, how can we sell a girl if we sell a girl?"

Mrs. Zhang smiled, lowered her head and only looked at her fingernails.

Panicked, Luluo kept tugging at the corner of Gu Fu's clothes, "Good brother, don't miss me, you have to think about this in my stomach..."

Frowning, Gu Fu hadn't spoken yet, but Chunhua on the side had already sneered.

"It's so nasty, being a father is enough, what a good brother..."

After glaring at Chunhua bitterly, Gu Fu turned to Mrs. Zhang, "My lady, what do you want? Let's just say it straight!"

Mrs. Zhang looked up at Gu Fu, raised her hand, and spread her five fingers, "500 taels!"

"You are stealing money!"

Gu Fu was furious, Zhang's eyelids drooped, and he didn't speak.

Enduring it, Gu Fu discussed, "When Luluo was sold, it was only six taels of silver. I paid 12 taels, which has already doubled."

Without even raising his eyelids, Mrs. Zhang ignored him at all.

Gu Fu had no choice but to grit his teeth and increase the price, "20 taels! Ma'am, this price is not low, you can buy three or four girls."

"Mother Xu, call Aunt Gu."

"Wait!" Gu Fu gritted his teeth, "30 taels! Ladies, you know that Luluo isn't worth that money..."

Smiling slightly, Mrs. Zhang looked at Lu Luo, "Lu Luo is not worth that money, but what about the one in her belly?"

"It's not worth it!" Gu Fu snorted, as if he didn't see Luluo's ashesy complexion, and said directly: "My lady, don't force me, not to mention that she doesn't know whether she is a man or a woman, even if she really isn't." So what if you lose money and give birth to a boy? For 500 taels of silver, I might buy dozens of women, how many can I have?"

"Brother, brother..." Luluo held Gu Fu by the corner of his clothes and begged, "Please, please—"

Seeing that Gu Fu was silent, she had no choice but to turn her head and kowtow to Mrs. Zhang, "Lady, you are a good person who cultivates Buddhism! You have the best heart, I beg you, please let me go! I will give you a longevity tablet in the future ——Really! Really... You are also a mother, you should only accumulate virtue for the little lady and the little man, and let the slaves be ass..."

Frowning, Mrs. Zhang looked at Gu Fu fixedly, seeing that his face was as sinking as water, without any signs of movement, she couldn't help lowering her eyes.

For a while, only the voice of Luluo kowtowed and begged echoed in the main hall.

Seeing that Luluo's head was broken, Gu Yong frowned, showing a look of unbearable.

"Miss..."

Before he could open his mouth, Mrs. Zhang said in a deep voice: "50 taels! I just treat it as an accumulation of blessings. If you don't want to pay the money, then just let the child in her belly go back to the womb and choose a new one. Be a good family!"

His gaze flickered, and Gu Fu was silent for a moment, before he said in a deep voice, "Just 50 taels! You just bring Luluo's deed of sale right now, and I'll give you the banknote..."

When bargaining, the two sides saw each other, but once it was settled, both Mrs. Zhang and Gu Fu were straightforward people.

After taking the Four Treasures of the Study and signing the contract directly, Mrs. Zhang went back to the back hall and took Lu Luo's contract of selling herself.

This Gu Fu took out a pouch from his sleeve pocket, and after counting the number of people on his back for a long time, he finally took out ten bank notes, all of which were small amounts of five taels each.

But a housekeeper carries more than 50 taels of bank notes, let alone Mrs. Zhang, even Gu Yong, who is always pretentious, looks at Gu Fu with resentment in his eyes.

This bastard is all greedy for his family's money!

Standing at the door of the inverted room, Gu Sixiao guessed what happened in the hall, feeling apprehensive and restless, and couldn't even sit down.

"Hua'er, you..." Wanrou walked over and put Gu Sixiao on the shoulder, Gu Sixiao had already shot out like an arrow.

Wanrou was stunned for a moment, and followed Gu Sixiao a few steps forward.

The snow was heavier than before, in pieces and in groups, like cotton wool, flying all over the sky.

In the south of the Yangtze River, such heavy snow is rare, so that Wanrou stepped out of the door, almost staring blankly.

After a moment of daze, she finally saw the person coming from the upper room.

The one walking in front was Steward Fu with his head held high, and the one following behind was a green radish with his head bowed and his shoulders hugged, as if he was too cold.

Behind, it was Mother Xu, with her sleeves rolled up, smiling on her face, but her voice was sharp and mean, "This is because our officials and ladies saved face for you, and you want to let me go, and you want to call me a servant." They are here to bombard people..."

Gu Fu gave Mama Xu a cold sideways glance, but said nothing.

It was Lu Luo, who said timidly, "I still have something left in Lan Xuan!"

"Yo, Miss Luluo is really too, what important things are there now that are worth your trip again?"

Luluo opened her mouth, but before she could speak, Chunhua, who came up from behind, had already sneered and said, "Are you ashamed to say that you should go back to Lanxuan to pack things? How are you going to tell the little lady when you go back? That you stole someone and got raped in bed? Say You are pregnant with an evil seed and you are not worthy to serve the little lady anymore? Say you have been sold out and you are no longer a member of the Gu family?! Luluo, you have the nerve to say it, but the little lady is too embarrassed to listen!"

Embarrassed and annoyed by what she said, Luluo's face turned pale, but she gritted her teeth and said, "No matter what, it's better than you! A poisonous woman like you, no one wants to give it away for nothing!"

"Shameless bastard!" Chunhua was so angry that she stretched out her hand to tear it, but was pushed away by Gu Fu who turned around.

Falling to the ground, Chunhua glared at Gu Fu bitterly, and cursed loudly: "Gu Fu, I told you, you will definitely regret it!"

Gu Fu curled his lips, and his goatee was raised up and down, "Chunhua, it's not me, but you who will regret it."

Blinking, Gu Fu had already turned around before Chunhua figured out the joint.

Luluo hurriedly chased after her, and Chunhua also got up and shouted after her: "Bitch, do you think you can become that bastard's wife as you wish? Don't even think about it, what kind of thing are you! You bought it for money, even if you With his evil seed in your belly, you are still a girl who can't stand on the stage-in this life, you will be the life of a housewife..."

Being scolded anxiously, Luluo turned around and scolded loudly: "What kind of thing are you? Do you think that no one knows what kind of thing you are? You are so noble, you have already lost your virginity, and you are no longer a virgin!"

These words were so explosive that even Xu's mother, who wanted to see Chunhua make a fool of herself, couldn't help but frowned, turned around and scolded: "What are you looking at? Get out of the house now—you two, hurry up and go! It's just dirty." A clean place for our family..."

After smoothing his beard, Gu Fu also tore his face, "A clean place? Where is the Gu family clean? Even those who keep saying they believe in Buddhism have blood on their hands! Is it clean?! Only the stones, flowers and trees are clean in this house." Right? Don't push it, I didn't deliberately keep my father..."

With a choked voice, Gu Fu raised his head and looked forward.

It was snowing all over the place, he couldn't see the person coming out obliquely, he squinted his eyes, and covered his eyes with his hands, only then did he see clearly that it was a little girl.

He is petite, with a handsome face, and looks very ordinary, but those eyes looking over him, for some reason, gave him a chill in his heart.

Every time I see this girl, I feel panicked in my heart - is it because she almost hit him that time? !

Frowning, Gu Fu snorted coldly, "Go away! Like a ghost..."

He hadn't finished cursing a sentence when he saw the little girl actually smiled, the corners of her mouth curled up, and she smiled quietly, "How do you know I'm a ghost?"

Whoa!
Gu Fu couldn't help but took two steps back, even the women were terrified.

The cold wind blows, the snow falls on the neck, and it turns into snow water in an instant, it's cool...

After a cold war, Gu Fu stared at the little girl in front of him, feeling chills in his heart.

"Painting, painting, what are you doing?"

Turning her eyes, looking at Xu's mother who was scolding, Gu Sixiao suddenly smiled brightly, grinning, and said with a smile: "I'm just kidding——"

Feeling relieved, Gu Fu puffed out his chest, looked at the girl in front of him, but dismissed it, "Mother Xu, the rules in the back house are getting looser..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked away without looking at Xu's mother's ugly face.

When passing by the girl, I heard a faint whisper: "It's not over yet..."

After a pause, he turned his head, but only saw a bright smiling face.

Who is talking? !

Gu Fu blinked, his eyes shifted from that bright smile to her eyes, and the four eyes met, those cold eyes without a smile in the slightest, indifferent, as cold and gloomy as death, colder than the snow all over the sky three points.

Cleverly shivering, at this moment, Gu Fu felt inexplicably terrified...
