The Rebirth of Space: the Lucky Girl From a Farm Family

Chapter 135 Expectation

Gu Huayu regretted going out with this guy.

“Xiaoyu, why are you staring at my face? Is there something on my face?” Li Tao asked while touching his face.

Gu Huayu said seriously: "We are not familiar with each other, please call me Gu Huayu."

Li Tao wrinkled his nose and pouted: "Aren't we familiar? Oh, Xiaoyu, you are not a friend enough! Do you know? How many people in the capital want to make friends with me?"

Gu Huayu stared at Li Tao without saying a word.

"Dedede, I call you Gu Huayu, don't look at me like this." Li Tao lowered his head in frustration, then raised his head and asked, "What's fun in Shicheng?"

 Gu Huayu thought she could be quiet for a while, but when she saw Li Tao smiling at her thiefly, Gu Huayu knew that she was overthinking.

Gu Huayu shook her head, "I was weak when I was a child, and I spent all my time at home recuperating from illness. I haven't been to any places, and I haven't experienced anything interesting. Tell me about interesting things about the capital."

Li Tao said with raised eyebrows: "Okay! There is nothing in the capital that I don't know about.

Let me tell you, the most interesting place in the capital is the elephant shed in the south of the city. There are various performances every day..."

At Ye Mansion on Xianshi Road, Lu Ziqin put down the book he was holding and asked, "Did Dr. Gu and Li Tao go to Tianxiang Garden?"

Ru'an leaned forward and responded: "Yes, in the morning, Second Young Master Li led his followers to look for Doctor Gu aggressively, and blocked Doctor Gu in a breakfast shop.

Qinglan was still worried that Doctor Gu would suffer a loss, but unexpectedly, Doctor Gu convinced the Second Young Master Li with a few words. The Second Young Master Li also regarded Doctor Gu as a friend and made an appointment to visit Tianxiang Garden. "

Lu Ziqin asked: "What did Doctor Gu say to Li Tao?"

 Retell what you heard.

Lu Ziqin stood up, walked to the window, stood quietly for a while, turned around and asked, "Qing Lan is back?"

 Ru'an shook his head, "No, I asked Qinglan to follow me to Tianxiang Garden."

 Lv Ziqin nodded, and then asked: "Has the post been sent?"

Ru'an lowered his hand and responded: "Sent it over. Shopkeeper Huang is not here. It was a woman named Wang who took the post. The woman walks very lightly. She has been tested a little and is a kung fu expert."

 Lv Ziqin asked: "Is Ruxuan not back yet?"

“Master, the young one is back.” Ruxuan opened the door and came in.

Lu Ziqin turned to look at Ruxuan and asked, "Have you found it?"

Ruxuan leaned forward and said, "Doctor Gu and Shopkeeper Huang set out for Hongcheng, and Shopkeeper Shen followed them.

The difference is that Doctor Gu and Shopkeeper Huang traveled by water, while Shopkeeper Shen took the land route. "

Lu Ziqin nodded, "Where's Shopkeeper Shen? Let him come to see me."

Ruxuan leaned forward and said, "Young man, go and bring shopkeeper Shen here."

After a while, Shopkeeper Shen from Chang'an Restaurant followed Ruxuan into the study and bowed to Lu Ziqin.

Lu Ziqin said: "Tell me about the situation in Shicheng."

Shopkeeper Shen reported everything that happened in Shicheng in the past six months to Lu Ziqin.

After hearing this, Lu Ziqin asked: "How is County Magistrate Chen doing now?"

Shopkeeper Shen leaned forward and said, "County Magistrate Chen injured his legs. The day after the incident, Magistrate Chen's wife Zheng left for Hongcheng. Now Magistrate Chen is also in Hongcheng.

I have asked people to inquire about it. I am afraid that County Magistrate Chen will not be able to stand up in the future. "

Lu Ziqin frowned slightly and then asked: "Both County Magistrate Chen's concubine's hands and Magistrate Chen's legs were done by Shopkeeper Huang's people?"

 Shopkeeper Shen nodded, "Master, yes."

 Ru'an blurted out and asked: "Why did Shopkeeper Huang do this? Did he have a problem with County Magistrate Chen?"

Ruxuan took the words and said, "Shopkeeper Huang has been in Shicheng for many years. If he had any trouble with County Magistrate Chen, he should have taken action long ago."

Lu Ziqin leaned against the window and thought for a moment, then said quietly: "Shopkeeper Huang is not simple!"

Shopkeeper Shen leaned forward and said, "A few days ago, Zhu Mingdao, the life-chaser of Long Shadow Guard, arrived in Shicheng and entered Huangji."

Lu Ziqin suddenly turned around and stared at Shopkeeper Shen, and asked in surprise: "Are you sure?"

Shopkeeper Shen nodded firmly, "I'm sure, Shicheng is too small and too remote, and there are very few outsiders coming in and out."

"Zhu Mingdao, the life chaser? Went to Huang Ji? So, shopkeeper Huang is from Longying Guard?" Ru'an looked at Lu Ziqin and asked.

Lv Ziqin nodded and said quietly: "If shopkeeper Huang is from Longying Guard, he would come to rescue me when I was assassinated in Shicheng. That would make sense."

 Ru'an suddenly said: "So, shopkeeper Huang has recognized us a long time ago."

Lu Ziqin shook his head, "It's hard to say!"

 Ru'an nodded, after all, it had been ten years, and I was still a little boy at that time.

Ru'an turned to look at Shopkeeper Shen and asked, "That woman named Wang who came to Hongcheng with Shopkeeper Huang, is she the shopkeeper of the jasmine powder shop?"

Shopkeeper Shen nodded and said: "Yes, Wang Qin followed the life chaser to Shicheng.

 After the life chaser left, Wang Qin, Liu Guang, Ruan Wu, and Mi Chen stayed behind.

Wang Qin has been the shopkeeper of Hangzhou Jie Embroidery Shop for many years. He is known as "Jin Yushang" and is very famous among the wealthy circles in Hangzhou.

 with her embroidery skills, she is really good at embroidery. "

Ru'an asked doubtfully, "Since Shopkeeper Huang is a member of the Longying Guard, why did he avoid it in Shicheng? He avoided it for ten years. Also, does Commander Hua know? Does the Emperor know?"

Lu Ziqin shook his head, "Ten years ago, the Long Shadow Guard was severely damaged. Hua Xu took office at the critical moment and shouldered the heavy responsibility of the Long Shadow Guard. However, not all the people below listened to him. It is said that Hua Xu killed many people in order to eliminate dissidents. "Little people. Shopkeeper Huang should have escaped at that time."

“That’s it!” Ru’an nodded, “So, after the incident ten years ago, the Long Shadow Guards were divided into two factions: those who listen to Hua Xu and those who don’t!”

 Ru'an pointed out **** as he spoke.

 Ruxuan shook his head, "To be precise, there should be three factions, and there are also some who are neutral and wait and see."

Lu Ziqin nodded, "Well, that should be the case. Once, I heard Wen De chatting with the Fifth Master. When talking about this matter, Wen De said that his father was still looking for the Dragon Mark Order.

 I asked curiously, what is the Dragon Mark Order? The fifth master said that it was the token of the leader of the Long Shadow Guard. It was said that the ancestors of the Hua family asked the master to make it specially. There is only one in the world. The disciples of the Long Shadow Guard saw the order as if they were meeting the master of the family. "

Ruxuan asked curiously: "So, Commander Hua doesn't have the Dragon Mark Order now?"

Lu Ziqin nodded and said: "Yes, Hua Xu did not have the order of the family head. He took over as Longying Guard based on the emperor's imperial edict and the tacit approval of the old family head of Longying Guard."

Shopkeeper Shen understood and said: "Although the Long Shadow Guards are used by the royal family, to be honest, the Long Shadow Guards can be regarded as a Jianghu sect. Their management has more rules in the Jianghu. The emperor's imperial edict may not be respected among Jianghu people." It works.”

 Ru'an said excitedly: "Yeah, that should be the reason, so Hua Xu has been searching hard for the dragon pattern order for these years and has never given up.

 Huafu’s old house on Yongchun Road was burned to ruins, and Hua Xu ordered people to turn it over several times. The most recent one was last winter. "

Ruxuan nodded and said, "Well, at that time Ruji asked if they were looking for something. It turned out to be the Dragon Mark Order."

Lu Ziqin said: "Shopkeeper Huang has a life-saving grace with me. As long as we know about this, we should keep our mouths shut and don't talk outside."

A few people nodded, "Don't worry, I will bear this in mind."

Lu Ziqin continued: "Dr. Gu, please withdraw Qinglan."

“Sixth Master.” There was a knock on the door.

 “Come in.” Lu Ziqin looked up at the door

  .

Ru Jin came in and reported: "Sixth Master, Mr. Li has handed over a message and invites you to come to Qing Ke Ju for a small gathering tomorrow at six o'clock."

Lu Ziqin said: "I have something to do tomorrow at noon. I will write a post and change the time to noon. You can send it to Mr. Li."

When Ru Jin took the post and went out, Lu Ziqin said, "You go down first."

　　Everybody bowed and stepped back.

Lu Ziqin picked up the pen again and wrote the words Gu Huayu, Gu Dechang, Huang Zhanggui, Wang Qin, Long Yingwei and other words on the rice paper.

Lu Ziqin looked at the names on the paper and wrote down their respective information next to the names...

 Connect them one by one with lines and note the connection between them.

Gu Huayu was born in the capital ten years ago, Long Yingwei was severely damaged ten years ago, and shopkeeper Huang took refuge in Shicheng for ten years...

 A thought flashed through Lu Ziqin's mind, could it be...

Lu Ziqin stood at the table for a long time, going from shock to calmness, then to joy, and then to hope...

If Gu Huayu is really Uncle Hua’s child, Lu Ziqin is looking forward to arriving early tomorrow...

Gu Huayu and Li Tao finished visiting Tianxiang Garden, and Li Tao pestered her to have lunch with her again, and did not return to Jinpan Road until the second quarter of the day.

"The girl is back?" Shopkeeper Wang was in the yard instructing the maid and mother-in-law. When he saw Gu Huayu coming back, he bowed his knees to the girl.

The maidservant and the mother-in-law followed and bent their knees to greet him. "Hello girl!"

Gu Huayu was stunned for a moment, then nodded to everyone, "Hello."

Shopkeeper Wang turned around and ordered: "You go ahead and do your work. I'll call you later if I need anything."

The maid and her mother-in-law bent their knees and stepped back.

“Have you eaten, girl?” Wang Qin asked with a smile.

Gu Huayu nodded, "I've eaten. Aunt Wang, is Uncle Huang back?"

Wang Qin replied: "I'm back. I'm in the study now. Girl, Ru'an, who is with Mr. Lu Liu, sent me a post this morning."

 Speaking, Wang Qin handed over the post.

Gu Huayu took the post from Wang Qin's hand, opened it and read it, and asked: "Is Qingzhu back? Let him go to Chang'an Restaurant to reply to the post."

“Qingzhu hasn’t come back yet, Qingyu is here, talking to shopkeeper Huang in the study.”

"Miss Xiaoyu is back? Is Hongcheng fun?" Shopkeeper Huang came out of the study and asked in a loud voice.

Gu Huayu nodded, "Yes, it's quite fun. I went to Tianxiang Garden today."

Shopkeeper Huang stepped aside and introduced to Gu Huayu: "Girl, this is Qingyu."

Qingyu bowed to Gu Huayu and said, "Hello, girl."

Gu Huayu returned the greeting to Qing Yu, "Hello."

“It’s windy outside, come inside to talk.” Shopkeeper Huang greeted.

A few people entered the study room and after chatting for a while, shopkeeper Huang said: "Girl, Qingyu wants to come back and stay with the girl to work, is that okay?"

Gu Huayu responded happily: "Okay, Uncle Huang, just make arrangements."

"Just in time, the girl is going to Chang'an Restaurant to reply to Master Lu Liu's message. Qing Yu should go there." Wang Qin said with a smile.

Shopkeeper Huang asked: "Girl, do you want to reply to Mr. Lu Liu's post?"

Gu Huayu nodded, "Yes, Ru'an from Mr. Lu Liu's side sent a message this morning, asking me to meet at Chang'an Restaurant tomorrow to discuss anything."

"There is a Chang'an Restaurant on Yongsheng Road and Xiangshan Road in Hongcheng. Where does the girl want to send the post?" Qing Yu asked.

Gu Huayu thought for a while and said, "Send it to this house on Yongsheng Road."

Qingyu bowed and said, "Okay, I understand."

Gu Huayu folded the post and handed it to Qingyu. "Good work!"

 “You’re serious, girl, I’m so honored to be able to do something for you.” Qing Yu bowed and responded.

After Qing Yu left, shopkeeper Huang said to Gu Huayu: "Girl, I bought four maids, four women, and a cook today. They are all dead contracts. I will meet you first and choose two to serve around me." "

Gu Huayu thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's meet."

Shopkeeper Wang stood up and said, "I'll go and summon them to the yard first."

 When Gu Huayu and Shopkeeper Huang went out, the maids and women were already lined up in the yard.

Gu Huayu pointed to the **** the left head and asked: "How old are you? What's your name?"

The girl bent her knees and responded: "Go back to my wife, I am thirteen this year. I will wait for you to give me a name."

Seeing that the girl was well-behaved and her eyes were calm, Gu Huayu nodded with satisfaction, "Then let's call her Hongxia."

Hongxia bent her knees and thanked her: "Thank you so much, my dear girl!"

Gu Huayu nodded, her eyes falling on the girl in green and red, "What about you? How old are you? Where are you from? What's your name?"

The girl in green bowed her knees and said, "Girl, I am also thirteen. I have been in Yaxing for as long as I can remember and have been resold several times. I don't know where I am from. I will wait for the girl to give me my name."

Gu Huayu glanced at the girl in Tsing Yi sympathetically, sighing secretly that it was unfortunate for a girl to be born in this era, "If you do good things in the future, I'll call you Chaoyang."

Chaoyang bowed his knees and thanked: "Thank you, girl!"

Gu Huayu turned to look at Wang Qin, "Aunt Wang, Hongxia and Chaoyang follow me. You can make arrangements for the rest."

Wang Qin nodded and told Hongxia and Chaoyang to follow Gu Huayu.

 Back to his residence, Gu Huayu said: "I like peace and quiet. I usually like to be alone. You can't disturb me. You can't come in and out of my house at will. Do you understand?"

 The two of them bent their knees in response.

Hongxia hesitated for a moment, then bent her knees and asked: "Girl, what about the servant cleaning? When is convenient?"

Gu Huayu thought for a while and said, "I go into the house to clean every day."

Chaoyang bent his knees and asked: "What about the girl's daily life? Don't you need a servant to serve her?"

Gu Huayu pointed to the room next to her and said, "The bathroom and clothes storage room are over here. You can just wait here."

Hongxia and Chaoyang bent their knees in response, "I understand."

Gu Huayu waved her hand, "You go and do your work, I'm going to take a lunch break."

Chaoyang waited for Gu Huayu to enter the room, then turned to look at Hongxia, "Tell me, is the girl a bit difficult to get along with?"

Hongxia turned around and went to the bathroom, "Don't make blind guesses. The girl said she likes to be quiet and doesn't like to be disturbed by others. Let's not bother the girl and just do her own thing."

Chaoyang nodded and said: "That's right, we just do our own thing seriously, and we can't care about anything else. I hope it can last longer this time, I'm so afraid of being sold out again."
