After the rebirth, the county master was forced to marry by the national teacher

Chapter 40
When the peddler approached her, Gu Qingsheng flickered, the corners of his mouth under the cloak and hat were slightly hooked
"Forget it, Bai Lu, no more."

She pushed back the candied haws that the peddler gave her, and walked past the peddler without looking back.

Bai Lu quickly put the copper coins back into the purse

"That's it!"

"You sit on the ground and raise the price, we haven't bought it yet."

The peddler stayed for a while, seemed a little taken aback, and immediately chased after Gu Qingsheng
"Alas! Two pennies! Two pennies is fine! I don't want more!"

His compromise made Gu Qingsheng stop.

From the vendor's point of view, the girl was wearing a white rabbit velvet cloak, and her frail figure was unusually conspicuous and tall in the crowd.

The wide cloak covered her head, only thin cheeks, red lips, and snow-white skin could be seen.

If there is no fragrance lingering around her, then I saw the pink lips slowly rising

"If you can't afford it, just order a bunch."

Stretching out plain white fingers to pull out one from the wooden stick with candied haws stuck in it, the peddler sighed

"You said that this is the first time I've seen a young lady like you. Other boys and girls don't care if I set the price on the ground or not. They will give me as much as I want. There are 20 taels."

Gu Qingsheng smiled, the red color of the candied haws matched her complexion very well.

"You said so."

she should say

"However, although I don't have to worry about food and clothing, I also understand very well that my father works day and night without sleep, so that I have my current life."

"As the saying goes, it's noon on the day of hoeing, and sweat drips down the soil. Whether it's two wen or two taels, it's all earned by the elders with their hands. I shouldn't be so squandered."

A gust of wind came out from nowhere, blowing the girl's cloak in front of her, blowing the fragrance farther and deepening the smile on her lips.

The peddler was stunned for a moment, unable to move even if he stood still, his throat moved.

"In that case, let's say goodbye."

Throwing the money to the peddler, Gu Qingsheng waved at the peddler and left.

He caught Yinzi blankly, his eyes followed Gu Qingsheng's back as he walked further and further away, and slowly lowered his head to look.

A tael of silver quietly stayed in his palm with some coolness.

……

After walking a long distance, Bai Lu pouted and asked with some dissatisfaction

"Princess, why did you give him one tael of silver? Didn't he only want two pennies?"

"The peddler looked like a profiteer at first glance. He was playing around with the price, and he may have deceived many people."

She didn't understand what Gu Qingsheng did, but she didn't stop her at the time.

Gu Qingsheng walked away calmly, biting off two candied haws in his hand, and the sour taste kept spreading in his mouth
"Of course I have my own arrangements."

she said.

The two were chatting, but they saw a huge group of people surrounded by an alley in front of them.

There were many shouts and cheers, as if they were performing some tricks.

"Miss, it seems to be very lively ahead."

Bai Lu let out a cry, and stars lit up in her eyes.

However, after experiencing so many intrigues in the mansion, Bai Lu's disposition is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and it is quite normal to be interested in such lively occasions.

Gu Qingsheng has lived two lifetimes, but he has long been used to this kind of jokes.

At that time, Luo Zhaozhao was obsessed with opera and tricks for a while, and Chu Zhiyao specially invited the best opera troupe master to sing for her in the outer court every day.

Later Luo Zhaozhao got tired of listening to it, so he stopped coming to the outer courtyard, but the masters still sang it every day, which was convenient for Gu Qingsheng who lived in the outer courtyard.

Listening to those masters singing and rehearsing plays every day, I can hum some tunes in the end.

"Since you want to see it, let's go and see it."

Thinking of the things in his previous life, he couldn't help but sigh, Gu Qingsheng held Bai Lu's arm in front of him, and led her over with Bai Lu's flattered eyes.

Through the crowd, it can be seen that some traditional tricks such as crushing big stones on the chest are being performed inside, and people keep throwing copper coins into the bowl to make a very crisp sound.

When the two squeezed in, Gu Qingsheng couldn't move forward at all.

Those who do this kind of tricks are usually manual labor, and most of them are men, but this time it is a woman.

She was dressed in red, and her movements were very sassy. The boulder on her chest had already covered her head, and a strong man above her was holding a big hammer towards her chest!

The woman looked serious, but there was no trace of fear, and she was struggling to adjust her breathing.

She didn't expect to see such an exciting scene as soon as she came in, Bai Lu was so frightened that she quickly covered her eyes.

It wasn't this that surprised Gu Qingsheng. She looked at the woman who was crushed under the stone, her eyebrows and eyes turned upside down, and she didn't expect to meet her here.

Zheng Xueyi.

That female assassin who broke into the general's mansion by herself in her previous life and killed Chu Zhiyao's eighty elite soldiers, and finally seriously injured Chu Zhiyao but was captured!
Her village is heavily taxed, and the villagers are struggling to survive.

After finally sending a villager to Chu Zhiyao's door, when he wanted to hand over a love letter to the majestic general, he was hacked to death by Chu Zhiyao because he dirty Luo Zhaozhao's skirt.

Zheng Xueyi was furious when she heard about this, and relying on some of the skills she learned as a child, she rushed to Chu Zhiyao's general's mansion and killed everyone.

In the end, he was tied to a stake and died of thirst in the outer courtyard facing the strong sun.

Gu Qingsheng also lived in the outer courtyard at that time, and she also secretly gave Zheng Xueyi two sips of water when no one was around.

She knew that Chu Zhiyao's actions were very cruel, but at that time she was already a deep palace woman, and she knew that she was powerless to change anything.

She still remembers that afternoon when the sun was strong, she carefully delivered the bowl of water to Zheng Xueyi's mouth that had been cracked and shed several layers of skin.

At that time, the woman's spirit was listless, but her eyes were scorching hot.

"It's okay! I won't die here! Are you also imprisoned in the mansion by that dog general?"

"Wait for me to escape! I will find someone to save you! You are such a kind person, you can't spend your whole life in this cage!"

Probably Zheng Xueyi's gaze was too sincere and warm, it was a kind of emotion without any impurities.

In these eyes, Gu Qingsheng suddenly felt a little ashamed of himself.

As if he was the dirtiest one.

She concealed the fact that she was the general's wife, just smiled awkwardly and left in a hurry.

such a pity.

In the end, Zheng Xueyi, the red swallow, failed to fly out, and she had become a speck of dust in the deep house.

"Miss……"

Bai Lu cautiously called out to Gu Qingsheng, Gu Qingsheng seemed like a lifetime away.

When he came back to his senses, his face was icy cold.

"Why are you crying?"

It was only then that she realized that tears had covered her face since she did not know when, and the down of the cloak was wet.

Not only Bai Lu, but even Gu Qingsheng himself was a little surprised.

"fine."
