Gu Jiu walked into the room and smelled a pungent smell of alcohol.

She wrinkled her nose and couldn't get used to the smell.

Elder Gu was half drunk and half awake, and his muddy eyes were bloodshot.

"Xiao Jiu is here, sit down."

Gu Jiu sat down on a clean chair.

She looked at her surroundings calmly.

The room is luxuriously furnished, but it has a stale taste.

There is an unknown stain on the carpet, which has dried out.

Gu Jiu subconsciously frowned when he thought that the stain on it might be the dirt that the old man vomited after being drunk.

The house is a good house, and the decorations are all precious decorations, but the people who live in it have spoiled these precious decorations.

"It's really rare, you thought of coming to greet the old man."

Old man Gu laughed.

Gu Jiu told Xiao Cui, "Go and make a bowl of strong tea for the old man."

Xiao Cui took the order and left.

This will make Mr. Gu's mind not so clear and unsuitable to talk about things.

Gu Jiu hoped that the old man could sober up after drinking strong tea.

Soon, Xiaocui brought a bowl of strong tea and placed it in front of the old man.

Grandpa Gu squinted his eyes and stared at Xiao Cui. He bluffed Xiao Cui so hard that he quickly jumped away and retreated behind Gu Jiu.

Old man Gu laughed loudly and pointed to Xiao Cui, "You damn girl, how can you run away? Where else can you escape when you enter the old man's yard."

Gu Jiu sternly said, "Master, please see clearly, this is my maid."

Elder Gu was stunned for a while, and then reacted for a while, "Oh, Xiao Jiu is here."

Gu Jiu frowned, winking at Wang Yi and Qingmei.

The two understood, and stepped forward. Wang Yi hugged Old Man Gu and broke his mouth directly. Qingmei poured a bowl of strong tea into the old man's mouth.

"You guys...cuckoo...cough cough..."

After eating a bowl of strong tea, Mr. Gu's whole body is not good.

He pointed to Gu Jiu, "Er girl, you, you are too presumptuous."

Gu Jiu said blankly: "The old man is not respectful of the old, and the granddaughter had no choice but to make the best move."

Old man Gu was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

After a long time, he hummed, "Fine, nothing, the old man doesn't care about you as a little girl. Let's talk about it, what's the matter with the old man? Please forgive me, the old man has not been rare for you to ask for peace for so many years."

Gu Jiu stood up and said solemnly: "Please save my father, father."

"What? What the hell?"

Old man Gu looked unintelligible, "Second girl, your mind is flooded. Look at the old man, how can He De save your father? Walk around, don't disturb the old man drinking. Want to save someone. , Go to the neighboring Hou Mansion to find Master Hou."

Grandpa Gu waved his hand to hurry Gu Jiu out.

Gu Jiu had a sullen face, "The only person who can save his father today is the old man."

Elder Gu chuckled, and didn't take Gu Jiu's words to heart.

Gu Jiu calmed down and said again: "Today my granddaughter saw Gongzizhao. Gongzizhao asked his granddaughter to speak and ask the old man to give him the things."

Old man Gu's original laughing expression solidified on his face.

He turned his head, like a zombie, his movements stiff.

"What did you say?"

Gu Jiu repeated what he said just now: "...The young man asked the old man to give him the things."

"You, did you really see the son Zhao?"

Elder Gu pointed at Gu Jiu, seemingly incredulous.

Gu Jiu nodded, "Yes! Granddaughter saw Gongzi Zhao."

"He really told you that?"

"Yes! This matter is related to the life of the father, and the granddaughter dare not hide anything."

Elder Gu grabbed his hair, "He didn't say anything for the old man?"

Gu Jiu shook his head.

Old man Gu frowned, his beard flicked, and he was obviously very uneasy.

After a long silence, Gu Jiu had to urge again, "Please save my father, please."

Father Gu looked impatient, "I know, I know. You go back first, let the old man think about this."

Gu Jiu said: "Time waits for no one. The longer the father is in prison, the more dangerous he is. He is your own son anyway, please save him."

"You guys, it's annoying. The old man has said long ago that as long as you return to Beijing, there must be no good things. As expected."

Old man Gu looked disgusted, waved his hand, and hurried Gu Jiu out.

Gu Jiu left in silence.

Ome hesitated to speak but stopped.

Madam Fang was still at the gate of the courtyard, and when she saw Gu Jiu, her face was full of smiles.

"The second girl has finished talking with the old man. The servants and servants have cleaned up those damn hoofs for the girl."

"Thank you aunty."

Gu Jiu winked, and Qingmei gave the wife a purse again.

Madam Fang laughed so hard that she couldn't see her eyes. "Second girl, go slow, come here often."

Gu Jiu returned to Zhilan Academy and sat in the study to practice calligraphy to vent his inner anger.

Qingmei came in with a bowl of soup and medicine, "Girl, you have almost written an hour, it's time to rest."

Gu Jiu was silent.

"Girl, why don't you go to the outer courtyard and ask the old man what his attitude is."

Gu Jiu shook his head and suddenly dropped the pen. The ink splashed on the rice paper, and a piece of paper was wasted.

"You don't need to see the old man, he will save him."

Ah?

Ome didn't understand.

"Since the old man will save the old man, why is the girl so angry?"

"I'm just getting angry."

Gu Jiu said naturally.

She had already suffocated her anger, and when she saw Mr. Gu, his attitude was so irritating that she almost didn't stretch herself.

She can't sprinkle her anger on people casually, she can only practice calligraphy to vent.

"Girl, it's not good, it's not good."

Xiaocui hurried in from the outside, panting, and said eagerly: "Girl, old man, old man is making trouble. I was making trouble to go out, hit the concierge, and ran out on horseback. The concierge couldn't stop him, and They also lost the old man. Girl, what should I do now?"

Gu Jiu laughed when he heard the words, relieved.

"Master is saved."

Xiao Cui looked dazed.

Qingmei seemed to understand but also agreed with Gu Jiu's words.

"Thank God, the master was finally saved. No girl's hard work was wasted."

Gu Jiu laughed, "Qingmei, you let the kitchen sit in chicken soup tonight, I want to drink chicken soup."

"The slave and maid will go now."

Qingmei smiled, the girl finally smiled and her appetite improved.

Thank God, God finally opened his eyes.

When Mr. Gu ran out of the mansion, Gu Jiu knew that Mr. Gu was saved. But others don't know.

The concierge sent the news to the big wife Zhang, who was upset.

"What the concierge does to eat, it's the old man's body, so many of them can't stop it. It's just a bunch of wine and rice bags."

Shaoyao softly persuaded: "Madam calmed down. At that time, the old man took the little servants into the concierge, and the concierge was caught off guard before letting the old man run out. Now, the most important thing is to find the old man."

"I don't know how to find the old man first. But where to find it? If the old man gets into trouble outside and offends someone, how can I get it. You quickly tell the housekeeper to send more people out to find the old man. In addition, send someone to tell the old man, Let him transfer people from the yamen and look for the old man throughout the city. In short, he must be retrieved as soon as possible, and he must not be allowed to mess around."

"The slave and maid will go now."

The eldest wife Zhang sighed.

Mr. Gu is a person with a criminal record.

No one knows what will happen to Mr. Gu if he ran out.

"Madam, the second wife is here."

The maid came in to report.

The eldest wife Zhang sighed, "Hurry up and invite the second wife in."

Xie was invited into the main house of Songbaiyuan.

"Brother sister, you are in poor health, why did you come out. If you have anything to make people call me, it will be done."

Xie's face was pale and sick, Gu Shan helped her sit down.

Xie said: "I don't worry, so I just come over and have a look. I heard that the old man ran out, does it matter? Will it affect my old man? If the old man offends people outside and harms my old man, what should I do? "

Before he finished speaking, Xie began to wipe tears.

Gu Shan persuaded in a low voice, "Mother, don't cry first. First listen to what the aunt said."

Xie wiped away the tears and smiled embarrassedly, "Let my sister-in-law read the joke."

Zhang shook his head slightly, "I can understand the feelings of the second younger sibling. I have already sent additional staff to find the whereabouts of the old man. I have also sent someone to inform the old man. There will be people from the Yamen to help find the old man. Believe it. The old man will be sent back soon."

Xie breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she complained: "The old man is true too, it happened to be making a lot of noise at this juncture. It is rare that my old man is not his own son? He is so cruel."

While talking, Xie cried again.

Since Lord Gu's accident, Xie's cried for a long time.

She was wiping her tears, crying, crying and talking, "I'm a woman, there is nothing I can do. I can only count on the Hou Mansion next door, and the eldest brother and sister. If you can't save my master, me, me I can't live anymore."

Zhang persuaded: "Sisters and sisters don’t say frustrating words. No matter what the second brother is, you have to hold on. Even if you don’t think about yourself, you should also think about the children. The children’s marriage has not been settled, so you Really rest assured?"

Xie cried even more miserably.

Perhaps because of crying too much these days, not only her eyes are swollen, but her cheeks are also a little swollen.

Xie's eyes covered his eyes and said: "I don't know how to think for the children. But if something happens to my master, I feel as if I lost my mind.

In the past two days, I have had trouble sleeping and eating. In the evening, I wondered over and over again, when I thought of what would happen to our orphans and widows in case my master cannot come back.

If my master is gone, who would be interested in those children? Sister-in-law, I'm scared in my heart! "

It is rare for Xie to show his fragile side in front of Zhang.

Gu Shan's eyes flushed as she listened, "Mother, don't talk about it. Father will definitely return safely."

Xie patted the back of Gu Shan's hand, "I know, I know all. I also look forward to your father's safe return."

Looking at this scene, Zhang couldn't help sighing.

"The younger siblings are still relieved. But if the second younger brother didn't come back, you fell ill first."

Xie's covered her mouth and nodded again and again, "Thank you Sister-in-law for your concern, I can still hold it. For the sake of the children, I also have to hold it."

"Don't just hold on to your younger brothers and sisters. If you feel unwell, please ask the doctor to go to the clinic to prescribe the pulse. The children are still counting on you, and you can't collapse."

Xie cried a few times, "Thank you for reminding my sister-in-law, I will take care of my body. Where is the old man..."

"The old man, don't worry about my younger siblings. With so many people going out to look for them, they don't believe that they can't find the old man. My younger siblings go back and rest first. I will send someone to talk to you when I get the news."

Xie thanked: "Thank you, sister-in-law. I will trouble you for the father's affairs."

Zhang said, "This is what I should do. Don't see me out of my brothers and sisters."

Xie stood up to say goodbye, and Gu Shan and Chunhe helped her out of the room together.

Zhang sighed secretly, looking at Xie's appearance, if Mr. Gu can't come back, I'm afraid he will not be able to withstand the blow, and will simply be sick.

As a result, the children in the second room will be miserable.

The right family will not marry the underestimated family. At that time, the young masters of the second room can only marry low, and the girls can only marry low.

Why!

Regarding Mr. Gu's matter, Zhang could only sigh.

Gu's family members were all waiting for news.

When it got dark, there was finally news from the old man.

"Madam, the old man is back. The old man is back by himself."

Zhang suddenly stood up from the seat, "Really come back?"

The maid nodded repeatedly, "It's true, I have entered the concierge."

Zhang gritted his teeth and said, "The old man is really absurd. Follow me to see the old man."

The eldest wife Zhang took people to the outer courtyard.

While asking the maid, "You said the old man came back by himself, didn't he get him back?"

The maid nodded, "Exactly. The housekeeper took someone out, but didn't find the old man. As a result, the old man came back by himself."

Zhang snorted coldly.

The housekeeper who was guarding the door suddenly bluffed when she saw the eldest wife Zhang. Like a quail, he lowered his eyebrows and pleased his eyes, "I have seen the old lady, the old man has just returned, and he is drinking in it."

Zhang's eyes stared, and Mrs. Fang's heart jumped out of fright.

"The old man drank as soon as he came back, and you don't know how to control it."

"The slave and maid can't control it." The house wife groaned.

Zhang snorted coldly, "Don't make excuses for my lady. I really don't know what you did in private."

The lady in the room smiled confusingly, the eldest lady is too fierce, not as kind as the second girl.

The second girl is so nice, she will give her a purse as soon as she comes. When left, gave another purse. Moreover, he is generous in his actions and speaks calmly.

Zhang's face was stern, and said: "I'll clean up you later."

After speaking, Zhang went straight into the courtyard gate.

The lady-in-law looked bad, and pulled the maid Shaoyao to intercede.

Shaoyao raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Ms. Fang, how much money did you greedy for drinking from the old man? Don't think we don't know. Check the account books, and you have to vomit all the benefits you get."

"Auntie, you can keep your voice down. I'll tell you one thing, don't tell you anything."

"What's up?"

The old lady looked around, and then said: "In the afternoon, the second girl suddenly came to greet the old man, it is weird.

The grandparents and grandchildren closed the door and chatted for half an hour. After the second girl left, the old man stopped drinking and sat in the room in a daze.

After being in a daze, he ran out with the young man. I guessed that the old man suddenly ran out of the mansion madly, he must have something to do with the second girl. "

Peony frowned, "What you said is true?"

The old lady patted her chest, "This is absolutely true. If Girl Peony doesn't believe it, you can ask those cheap hooves. For the second girl, I will also clean up those cheap hooves."

Shaoyao nodded, "I will report this matter to the old lady. Your benefit will be indispensable then."

Mrs. Fang beamed with joy, "Thank you, Girl Peony. I don't know who is worthy of someone with a symbol like Girl Peony."

Shaoyao sipped the wife directly, "Say something less. About the second girl's meeting with the old man, we are not allowed to spread it out, otherwise we won't be able to spare you."

"Girl Shaoyao, don't worry, I know the seriousness of this matter, and I promise not to spread it out."

Shaoyao wouldn't believe the guarantee of Mrs. Fang. This old slave is a mother if she has milk. When things are done here, she has to take the opportunity to beat and beat the wife.

Zhang led someone into the door, and when he saw Mr. Gu drinking, he frowned.

"Greetings to the old man. You didn't offend anyone when you went out this time."

Father Gu squinted Zhang's eyes, "Nonsense, when does the old man offend others. You go quickly, don't get in the way of the old man."

The eldest wife Zhang didn’t take it seriously, “Old man, now the second brother’s future is worrying, please think about it for him, can you not make trouble at this time. The Hou Mansion next door knew that the old man ran out, and he was very angry. The old lady still let it go. Then, are you willing to be honest if you want her to be a sister-in-law to come and discipline you in person."

When Grandpa Gu heard this, his face changed, "Sister-in-law is really true, she loves to be nosy."

Zhang snorted coldly.

Nowadays, even the old man can't control Mr. Gu, and Mr. Gu can still listen to what the old lady Wei, who is a sister-in-law, said.

Zhang said: "I don't want the old lady to go to the house and beat your elders in person. Please also ask the old man to settle down. Don't mess with the juniors. We are thankful."

"I know, I know. You are a daughter-in-law, and you are in charge of the old man, who gives you the courage. Go and go, hurry up. Don't delay the old man's drinking."
