Chapter 153 Leaving

After hearing what Lonicera said, Shi Niang frowned, her eyes fell on Lonicera, pointed at Gu Huayu and asked, "What did you call her?"

Facing Shi Niang’s question, everyone was stunned.

 Landong looked at Gu Huayu.

Shi Niang said seriously: "What do you want me to ask you?"

 Landong said in fear: "Miss!"

Shi Niang pointed at Gu Chengjiao and Gu Chengjuan and asked, "What about them?"

 Landong replied: "Sister Chengjiao, sister Chengjuan. Is there anything wrong?"

Gu Chengjuan asked doubtfully: "Yes, is there a problem? Xiaohua, no, Lonicera has called us that since we were young."

Shi Niang glanced at Gu Chengjuan, then turned her gaze to Gu Huayu and said, "This is too confusing. I think you have a lot of people under your command now. You have to set some rules for them."

Shi Niang didn't wait for Gu Huayu to reply, so she started directly, turned to Landong and said: "I don't care how familiar you were with them before, or how good your relationship is, but remember, there is a difference between superiority and inferiority, don't mess with the rules. .

 You address Xiaoyu as Miss, and these two are Xiaoyu’s sisters, do you understand? From now on, respect her as the eldest lady and respect her as the second lady. "

Gu Chengjiao felt that Shi Niang was making a fuss, and said with a smile: "What, don't be like this."

Shi Niang turned around and glared at Gu Chengjiao.

Gu Chengjiao was dismayed by Shi Niang's cold eyes and immediately shut up.

Shi Niang continued: "When we go out this time, we must not interact with outsiders. Etiquette and rules are extremely important.

 What shall I tell you? "

Shi Niang clasped her hands and paced on the spot, thinking about how to express herself so that the few mountain girls could understand.

Shi Niang walked a few steps and turned to look at Gu Chengjuan and the others, "For example, we know nothing about an outsider. How can we judge whether he is worth dating? Can we do business with this person? You guys? Talk about it.”

Gu Chengjuan blurted out: "Of course he is a good person and he is trustworthy."

Shi Niang asked: "When we first met, how can you be sure that he is a good person? Is he a person who keeps his word?"

Gu Chengjuan couldn’t answer.

Shi Niang did not embarrass her, and continued: "We will judge his knowledge, education, character, open-mindedness, etc. through his speech, behavior, and how he treats others. We will then judge whether this person is worth dating. Right?"

Gu Chengjuan looked at Shi Niang with admiration, nodded repeatedly and said, "What Shi Niang said makes sense, that's it."

Shi Niang glanced at Gu Chengjuan.

Gu Chengjiao whispered: "Don't interrupt."

Gu Chengjuan stuck out her tongue and stood obediently.

Shi Niang continued: "This is how we see others, and conversely, others will also see us this way. Right?"

 Gu Chengjiao nodded, "Well, that should be the case."

“So, we must have some rules. From today on, I will teach you how to abide by the rules.”

After finishing speaking, Shi Niang turned to Gu Huayu and whispered: "You don't need to thank me too much."

Gu Huayu rolled her eyes at her and said, "You eat and drink for free, shouldn't you do something?"

Gu Chengjiao said: "Shi Niang, I heard that there are many rules in our big family. Not only the servants have rules, but the masters must also have rules. Isn't that true?"

Shi Niang glanced at Gu Chengjiao appreciatively, nodded and said: "Yes, servants have their own rules, and masters have their master's rules. On the men's side, I have my own teacher to teach me. I am taught the rules of the ladies."

Gu Chengjuan asked in a low voice: "Xiaoyu, do you want to learn it too?"

Shi Niang looked at Gu Chengjuan and said: "Xiaoyu doesn't need to learn. Xiaoyu knows right from wrong, right from wrong, and has a certain amount of progress and retreat in what she says and does. The most important thing is that she is powerful enough. If you are as powerful as her, you don't need to learn the rules. "

Even though Shi Niang told the truth, Gu Huayu still didn't want her sisters to misunderstand.

So he smiled and said: "Shi Niang is joking with you, I have to learn from it.

 From now on, I will study with my eldest sister and my second sister. Everyone, hurry up and have breakfast, we are about to set off. "

 After saying that, Gu Huayu looked at Lonicera and asked, "Where are my parents? Have they eaten?"

 Lonicera is extremely smart, and immediately changed her mind after being clicked by Shi Niang.

"Miss, the master and his wife have had breakfast. They are talking to the master now."

Gu Chengjuan took a sip of porridge and held it in her mouth. When she heard the name Lonicera, she choked and coughed repeatedly.

Gu Chengjiao patted her on the back and said, "Slow down!"

Gu Chengjuan coughed for a while, straightened up and said, "Master, madam, why do I feel so awkward?"

Shi Niang glanced at Gu Chengjuan and said, "Just get used to listening. Remember, you don't talk when you eat, and you don't talk when you sleep!"

Gu Chengjuan stuck out her tongue, lowered her head to eat, and stopped talking.

Shi Niang looked at Gu Chengjuan's eating habits and sighed, "I'm in a hurry today, so let's do this. When you settle down, you'll have to change your eating habits."

 Gu Chengjuan looked down at the bowl and chopsticks, and suddenly felt that the breakfast was no longer fragrant. My eating appearance was ugly? "

Gu Huayu was afraid that Shi Niang would hit Gu Huayu, so she put a fried bun into Gu Chengjuan's bowl and said, "How can there be so much fuss? When it comes to eating, the principle is to be full! Don't worry too much about anything else. Eat quickly."

Shi Niang said dissatisfiedly: "Gu Xiaoyu, do you still want me to teach them?"

Gu Huayu winked at Shi Niang and said in a voice that could only be heard by two people: "The sun is getting longer, take your time!"

After breakfast, Qingzhu came over and said, "Girl, everything is ready. Shall we set off?"

Gu Huayu nodded, "Okay, let's go."

The group of people went to the gate and saw Gu Dechang and Gu Chengdong standing aside talking.

Gu Huayu asked everyone to get in the car, walked towards Gu Chengdong, and handed him a small wooden sculpture in the shape of a monkey, "Brother, this is for Brother Sui, help me pass it to him."

Gu Chengdong took it and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll thank you on behalf of Brother Sui. Xiaoyu, if you feel tired outside, come back."

Gu Huayu smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll note it down, thank you, brother."

Gu Chengdong raised his hand and rubbed Gu Huayu's head, "Go, be careful on the road."

Gu Huayu's eyes were a little sore. She didn't want Gu Chengdong to see her crying, so she quickly turned her head away.

"Okay. Let's go. Brother, please go back more slowly."

Qingzhu waited for Gu Huayu to board the car and ordered: "Let's go."

Gu Chengdong felt very uncomfortable as he watched the convoy go away.

 He knew in his heart that his third uncle and his family were gone, and he didn’t know when he would see him again.

Gu Chengjiao was framed and imprisoned by the concubine of the county magistrate. Gu Huayu quickly rescued Gu Chengjiao. Gu Chengdong became alert. From then on, he realized that this young girl was not simple.

When Magistrate Chen had an accident at the Changxin Festival, his first thought was Gu Huayu.

 Subconsciously, he felt that this matter was probably related to Gu Huayu.

Later, he came to the city to manage Sixi Shop and had many contacts with Huang Ji’s people, which further confirmed his guess.

For this reason, he looked at Ruan Wu's words. Although Ruan Wu didn't say anything to him, he smiled meaningfully at him.

Ruan Wu’s smile made him think about it for a long time.

 He has a feeling that everyone in Huang Ji respects his little sister.

 Furthermore, if something happened to Huang Ji, could it be the fault of the Chen family?

Gu Chengdong was lost in thought, sighing secretly that he was too weak and couldn't do anything to help.

Ruan Wu came over and said, "Master, please sit in the room."

Gu Chengdong nodded and followed Ruan Wu back to the courtyard.

Gu Chengdong wanted to ask Ruan Wu if things were as he thought.

The two of them returned to the main room. Ruan Wu took out a sandalwood box and handed it to him, "Sir, this is what Miss Xiaoyu asked me to hand over to you."

Gu Chengdong looked at Ruan Wu, reached for the box, opened it immediately, and saw a letter and a stack of banknotes inside.

Gu Chengdong opened the letter and was sure it was Gu Huayu's handwriting. There were only two short lines on the letter.

“Brother, I’m leaving now, and I don’t know when we’ll see you again. I’ll leave it to you at home!”

Gu Chengdong looked at the box in a daze, Xiaoyu had already given a lot of things to the family, why give him these again?

They say a poor family has a rich life. She kept all the money, so what will she do when she is away?

Gu Chengdong accepted the letter and gave the box to Ruan Wu, "Take this to Xiaoyu. We have everything at home and don't need any money."

Ruan Wu pushed the box back and said, "Uncle, please don't embarrass me.

   We must do the things that Miss Xiaoyu told us well. Uncle, don’t worry about money, Miss Xiaoyu is not short of money. "

Ruan Wu's words made Gu Chengdong's heart move, and he asked: "Brother Ruan, what happened to Huang Ji this time was caused by County Magistrate Chen's people?"

Ruan Wu was stunned and said: "I don't know, the people from the Yamen are already investigating this matter, and there should be results in a few days.

 It's almost time, it's time to set off. Uncle, we will meet again later. "

Ruan Wu hugged Gu Chengdong and bowed to say goodbye.

Gu Chengdong said goodbye and sent Ruan Wu and others out of Meiyuan.

In the Duke Chengguo's Mansion in the capital, Lu Ziqin was sitting at a table, listening to Ruxuan's report.

“Chen Liang and Deng Jiayu returned to the capital yesterday at the end of Shen Dynasty, and then many doctors went to the Chen Mansion.

The young man sent someone to inquire. Deng Jiayu and Chen Liang brought about twenty people from the Long Shadow Guards to Shicheng. These twenty people were all Xuanqing-level people. The purpose is to get rid of Shopkeeper Huang and Shopkeeper Su Er. "

Lu Ziqin was startled, looked at Ruxuan, and asked, "Xuan Qing?"

Ruxuan nodded and confirmed: "They are all Xuanqing level. The group arrived at Shicheng on the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month and went to Huangji that night. Shopkeeper Shen came to help. This incident alarmed the Yamen.

Deng Jiayu and Chen Liang did not dare to confront the Yamen people, and shopkeeper Su Er was seriously injured.

On the 19th day of the twelfth lunar month, Doctor Gu and Shopkeeper Huang returned to Shicheng. On the night of the 19th, Deng Jiayu and Chen Liang attacked Huang Ji again at night.

Deng Jiayu and more than ten people in the Longying Guards were poisoned. Shopkeeper Huang led his people to leave Shicheng that night. "

After hearing this, Lu Ziqin was silent for a moment and asked, "Did Xiaoyu leave with Shopkeeper Huang?"

Ruxuan shook his head, leaned over and replied, "I don't know yet. But such a big thing happened in Shicheng, and the letter from the shopkeeper should arrive in the next two days."

Just as he was talking, Rujin knocked on the door and came in, saying: "Sir, this is a letter from shopkeeper Shen of Shicheng."

Lu Ziqin reached out and took the letter, opened it and read it, then handed the letter to Ruxuan.

After looking at it, Ruxuan said, "Doctor Gu hasn't left yet. Dr. Gu also placed the injured brother in Chang'an Restaurant."

Lu Ziqin pursed his lips. He was very satisfied with Gu Huayu's trust in Chang'an Restaurant.

  asked: "Did the investigation detect it? What kind of poison did Deng Jiayu get?"

Ruxuan leaned forward and said: "The doctors who diagnosed it all said it was Cartilage Powder, but the antidote for Cartilage Powder was wrong. Everyone who took this antidote died."

Lu Ziqin raised his head and asked Ruji, "What do you think?"

 Ruji shook his head and said, "I can't judge without seeing the person."

“Then go and investigate and see what kind of poison it is?” Lu Ziqin then ordered.

 Ruji leaned over and said, "I understand."

Ruji took two steps back and turned around and left the study.

 Where will Shopkeeper Huang go when he leaves Shicheng? Lu Ziqin thought for a while and asked, "Is there any news from Ru'an?"

 Ruxuan shook his head, "The news from Ru'an was from years ago, but I haven't heard from you recently."

Ruxuan suddenly understood why his master asked about Ru'an, and immediately added: "Ru'an's letter said that Doctor Gu's third brother Gu Chenglin stayed in Hongcheng and did not return to Shicheng during the New Year."

Lu Ziqin nodded and said, "Send a message to Shopkeeper Shen and Ru'an and ask them to take care of their families in secret."

"What do you mean, shopkeeper Huang may go to Hongcheng?" Ruxuan asked.

Lu Ziqin glanced at Ruxuan and said: "Hua Xuruo knows that shopkeeper Huang is close to Gu Dechang, and if shopkeeper Huang can't be found, he is afraid that he will attack the Gu family. Send an order to Ru'an and Shopkeeper Shen to protect the Gu family!" "

Ruxuan bowed and responded, "I understand, I will do it now."

 Ruxuan retreated.

Lu Ziqin picked up the book and continued reading, but he kept getting distracted, so he put down the book, got up and walked out.

Lu Ziqin came out of the study and was met by Ru Jin. He hurriedly stepped forward and handed over his cloak, "Sir, it's cold outside, so you have to put on some clothes."

 Lv Ziqin took the cloak and put it on, and said, "Follow me to visit my grandmother."

 Rumo bowed his head and responded, "Okay!"

 The master and servant walked along the corridor to the Qingfang Hall in the backyard.

 After the death of Ye Shangshu, Mrs. Qin lived back in Qingfang Hall.

Because there is a Buddhist hall in Qingfang Hall, Mrs. Qin would go to the Buddhist hall to chant sutras when she missed Ye Yun.

The two of them walked to the entrance of Qingfang Hall and met Nanny Feng beside Mrs. Qin.

Mammy Feng bowed her knees to greet Lu Ziqin. Lu Ziqin bowed and returned the courtesy and asked, "Mammy, how are you doing, grandma today?"

Mother Feng smiled and replied: "Go back to Mr. Six, the old lady is very nice. She is talking with the madam and my aunt at the moment. Mr. Six has come to visit the old lady? I will go and pass the news right now."

Lu Ziqin said: "Mom, if you have something to do, go and do some work. I can just go in by myself."

Mother Feng smiled and bent her knees and said, "Well, the old lady wants to eat the hot and sour noodles from Chang'an Restaurant. Let me go and get some."

After hearing this, Lu Ziqin said: "It's snowing and freezing. I can just send a servant to get it. How can I go by myself?"

After finishing speaking, he turned to Ruji and said, "Go to the restaurant and bring some back."

                                   也gin ī ī ī ī ī ī ī .

Nanny Feng said with a smile: "I'm used to it. For many years, the old slave has done all the food for the old lady herself."

Lu Ziqin nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, mama."

Aunt Feng bent her knees and said: "Sixth Master, you can't say that. It's my job for the old slave to serve the old lady, and I don't think it's hard work. Please, Sixth Master."

Lu Ziqin nodded and walked forward first. Aunt Feng followed behind Lu Ziqin and walked in together.

 Lv Ziqin asked as he walked: "Does grandma still have little sleep at night?"

Grandma Feng said happily: "After taking the elixir brought back by Mr. Liu, the old lady's sleeping condition has improved a lot.
