Luo Yanyi took a step back and scolded: "Forget it, you seem to be a little abnormal, I will let you go today."

As she said that, she greeted the servant and went out. She found that the hairpin was still in her hand, and immediately threw it on the ground in disgust, and then walked away quickly without looking back.

"Miss, are you alright?" Ping'er patted her chest, "It really scared me to death just now."

Qi Surong took out her handkerchief, wiped her hands, and said calmly, "Let's go. Oh, by the way, pick up that hairpin and sell it back. It should be worth a few taels of silver."

☆、Chapter 7 Gu Jinyun

"Jin Yun, I didn't expect your family to move to the capital. If you need help, feel free to speak." He Zhe smiled and looked at his friend.

"No, thank you." Gu Jinyun took a sip of tea and looked at the bustling street outside the window.

He Zhe followed his gaze and smiled: "It's not easy to gain a firm foothold in the capital. Although your Gu family is rich in Jiangnan, in the capital, everything has to start over."

Gu Jinyun gave a low "um".

He Zhe tapped the table lightly with his fan, and said helplessly, "I said, Brother Gu, how did you manage to do such a big business? Could it be your coffin face?"

Gu Jinyun looked back at him and continued to drink tea in silence.

He Zhe was furious for a while, and said, "If you don't know your temperament, ordinary people really can't get along with you, even if you have facial paralysis, your eyes are still so scary."

"Sorry." Gu Jinyun apologized sincerely, but the words made people feel threatened.

He Zhe covered his forehead and retreated.

Then, he introduced the customs of the capital to Gu Jinyun, especially the recent situation. The emperor vigorously rectified corrupt practices, and many ministers in the court were severely punished, including the once-powerful Wang family and Qi family.

Hearing him mention the Qi family, Gu Jinyun's eyes flickered a few times and asked, "How is the Qi family now?"

"I don't know. It is said that after being kicked out of the house by the officers and soldiers that day, the Qi family went into hiding. I heard that they moved to the East Street area, lived in seclusion and rarely showed up again." He Zhe paused and said strangely, "Why do you treat Qi to Qi? Home so interested? Old with them?"

"It's okay." Gu Jinyun put down the teacup, got up and said, "It's getting late, I'll go first."

"Oh, well, I'll invite you another day."

Gu Jinyun nodded and turned to leave.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

When passing an alley, Gu Jinyun suddenly heard a woman's scream.

He hesitated for a moment and followed the sound.

Turning the corner, he saw a noble woman with a group of people bullying the other two women.

"Hmph, I really can't help fighting. Let this lady see, is she seriously injured?" The noble woman's arrogance was quite arrogant.

This looks like a dispute between nobles. Gu Jinyun didn't want to meddle in his own business, but when he was about to turn around and leave, he stopped because of the noble woman's next sentence: "Qi Surong, I'll give you two choices. , one is to kneel down and give me ten kowtows; the other is, let me leave something on your face."

Qi Surong?

Gu Jinyun looked straight at the woman on the ground, and saw that she was trembling all over, seemingly frightened, but the next moment, he denied this guess.

The woman slowly raised her head, although her face was pale, her eyes were firm.

Gu Jinyun heard her say word by word, "I won't kowtow to you."

The noble woman refused to give up, and actually took out the hairpin, ready to destroy her appearance.

Gu Jinyun moved slightly, and was about to stop it, but saw Qi Surong holding the opponent's wrist and moving the hairpin to his throat.

Then, he saw that she used her life as a bargaining chip to reverse the situation little by little, and successfully frightened the noble woman away.

When first saw her, thought it was an elegant orchid in the empty valley, but it turned out that she was a flirtatious Manzhu Shahua.

"... Pick up that hairpin and sell it back. It should be worth a few taels of silver." Those last words instantly turned her from Manzhushahua to peacock grass. A smile flashed in Gu Jinyun's eyes.

He quietly followed behind the two of them, intending to escort them home and take a look at the current residence of the Qi family.

Qi Surong didn't go home directly, but found a rather quiet corner, took out a comb, and said to Ping'er, "Ping'er, comb my hair, I can't be seen by my family. "

"Yes, ma'am."

Qi Surong casually sat on a stone pier, untied her hair bun, and a black silk fell down, reaching her waist.

Ping'er held the comb and began to gently comb her long hair.

Gu Jinyun hid in the dark, watching her silently.

She sits upright on the stone pier, her back is straight, her eyes are straight ahead, her expression is soft, revealing a kind of independent elegance and indifference to the world.

In a short period of time, Gu Jinyun found several different faces in her. Who is the real her?

Qi Surong wiped her lips with a handkerchief and asked, "Ping'er, is there any blood on my lips?"

Ping'er took a closer look, shook her head and said, "No more."

"That's good, you will remember it later, don't tell my parents what happened today, lest they worry."

Ping'er hesitated: "But the lady's face is not very good, should we go to the doctor first?"

"It's just a little bruised, it's okay."

Ping'er's persuasion was fruitless, so she could only give up.

When the two returned home, Qi's mother saw that Qi Surong and Heping'er's clothes were a little dirty, so she couldn't help but asked worriedly, "What's the matter with you?"

"It's okay, mother, the cloth fell on the ground and got dirty, and we got some ash on our bodies."

Mother Qi nodded in relief, took the cloth and looked at it, and said, "Fortunately, just cut off the dirty part."

Saying goodbye to Mother Qi, Qi Surong returned to the room, and Ping'er immediately called a basin of hot water to help her apply the wound.
