Chapter 4

Gu Qingzhu knew very well what Qin wanted to ask for now. Before Shen died, he told Gu Qingzhu that she had two keys, one was her private warehouse and the other was her dowry library. The keys of the private warehouse were given to Gu Qingzhu. The keys of the dowry library were told to Gu Qingxue and Gu Qingzhu, and told them not to open them easily before they were unable to protect things.

Although Shen's fortune is poor, he is not stupid. After fighting with Qin for so many years, he has not cheated much by Qin. His own things are firmly held in his hands and passed to his children. In the end, Gu Qingzhu's part was considered safe, but Gu Qing's part may not be the part he learned.

Unfortunately, the only younger brother in his previous life was apart from him. After being brainwashed, he felt that she was a shrew who was useless and unvirtuous by others. No matter what Gu Qingzhu said or advised him, he didn't believe it, and even opposed her everywhere.

It was not until Gu Qingzhu forced Qin to the point of despair, Qin showed his true face and harmed Gu Qingxue that he suddenly realized. However, at that time, he had already missed his best study age, and had to be a shopkeeper in a shop. When Gu Qingzhu wanted to leave Beijing with Qi Xuan and go to Mobei, he asked to see her on the road, and gave her a cotton coat full of silver notes, so she could wear it on the road. It was those silver notes, which allowed Gu Qingzhu and Qi Xuan to spend the most difficult days safely when they first arrived in Mobei.

Thinking of this younger brother whom I hadn't seen for many years, Gu Qingzhu sighed quietly. The boy was afraid that he had been confused by Qin now, so he would have many precautions against her, his own sister.

However, Gu Qingzhu had nothing to fear. He didn't know the past in his previous life, and Qin was not her opponent, let alone this life. At most, he just wanted to be fond of fame. For Gu Qingzhu, who had lived for two lives, fame was no longer within the scope of her mind.

On the third day after Qin sent things to the village, Madam Li finally couldn't help but come to find Gu Qingzhu.

Gu Qingzhu, who had been frightened, became more and more taciturn. She only talked to Hongqu for a few words and had little communication with others, making Madam Li unable to even meet her, so she could only come to her with a chance.

Gu Qingzhu sat on the soft collapse and read a book. She was reading the geography of the capital. She hadn't returned to the capital for many years and was almost unimpressed. Look at the geography of the capital and find memories.

Madam Li walked over with tea in her hand and smiled, put down the tea cup, poured tea for Gu Qingzhu and handed it to her.

Gu Qingzhu neither looked up at her nor reached for water to drink it. She just like she didn't know that Madam Li came in. Madam Li coughed dryly: "Why did the lady work so hard? I haven't seen her read any books before."

Gu Qingzhu turned the page and replied casually: "Well, I fell for no reason, my mind was empty, I have to learn something."

Madam Li calmed down and responded to Gu Qingzhu: "Miss is studious, which is a great thing. A few days ago, someone came to deliver things to her family. I asked Sister Wang about it and said that the new lady had mentioned it several times to the prince and wanted to take the eldest lady back to the mansion. If she returned to the mansion, the lady wanted to do research, so she could just let the new lady teach her."

Madam Li said a lot, and while talking, she observed Gu Qingzhu's expression. She saw that Gu Qingzhu didn't seem to hear her words. She should read books and turn pages, without any impact, let alone any strange expressions on her face.

Gu Qingzhu had no flaws, and Madam Li had no idea to start. She was anxiously scratching her heart and lungs, and Gu Qingzhu finally spoke: "Madam Li came here specifically to talk about this?"

Madam Li was stunned when she asked back: "Uh? Ah, that's all." Seeing Gu Qingzhu taking advantage of the page to turn the page, she looked up at her, and it seemed like she was about to issue an order to expel the guest. Madam Li became more concise and added a sentence in front of Gu Qingzhu:

"Oh, by the way, there is one thing I almost forgot. Next month is the old lady's sixty birthday. The old lady has always loved the young lady. When she is on her birthday, the young lady always needs to prepare some decent gifts to make the old lady happy, knowing that the young lady is still thinking about her."

Madam Li choreographed several times in her belly and said it, waiting for Gu Qingzhu's reply, but Gu Qingzhu seemed to be trapped in the book again, as if she hadn't heard it again, but Madam Li was so anxious that she broke a few words. How could she not be anxious? She wanted to pounce on her and tear the book in Gu Qingzhu's hand. What kind of broken book can make her so fascinated.

However, I only dare to think about this, Madam Li doesn’t have the courage to do it.

He patiently urged: "Miss, have you heard me?"

I heard it or not, and I would also give me an echo. Madam Li was anxious in her heart.

But Gu Qingzhu nodded slowly: "I heard it."

He really just replied.

Madam Li felt that if she continued to talk, she would really vomit blood. Since she heard it, you would just continue.

"What are you going to give to the old lady?" Madam Li couldn't show her face and had to smile.

After turning another page, Gu Qingzhu was still slow: "It's early, there are still two months left."

Finally, Madam Li was relieved.

"This is the old lady's birthday. You can't just cram the Buddha's feet. You have to prepare early. You have to be picky and choose, and you have to consider all aspects carefully. You have to prepare several more things to be foolproof."

Gu Qingzhu curled her eyes and lips, as beautiful as a painting of ink painting in Jiangnan. Even Madam Li couldn't help but sigh that the eldest lady looked so beautiful and beautiful, especially her eyes, which were brighter than the stars in the night sky, and were clearly black and white, as if she was not contaminated with the slightest filth in the world, and was clear.

"So according to the words of the nanny, what kind of gifts should I prepare?" Gu Qingzhu had no intention of playing Tai Chi with her again. She was stammering and hesitating.

Madam Li's eyes lit up and immediately gave a 'suggestion': "Actually it's nothing difficult. The lady used to pick up gifts from the private warehouse. This time, the lady only needs to pick up a few things from the private warehouse."

Finally got to the point.

Gu Qingzhu's smile deepened: "It's like a private warehouse...but there are too many things in the private warehouse..."

Madam Li couldn't wait to answer: "It's really not easy to pick out a lot of things. If the lady trusts me, she can hand over the keys to me and ask me to help me pick out some suitable things. I have been with my wife for more than ten years. These trivial matters will definitely be done for the lady."

Finally, he talked about the point, allowing Gu Qingzhu to connect the things from his previous life.

Indeed, she handed over the keys of the private warehouse to Mama Li and asked Mama Li to pick up gifts for her. That's why Qin Shi secretly forged a key and secretly stole a lot of things from Shen's private warehouse to sell it. After Gu Qingzhu found out, she couldn't figure out why Qin Shi had a key. She once suspected her junior, thinking that he didn't know the importance of it, so she forged the keys to Qin Shi.

It turns out that the crux of the matter is here. No wonder Madam Li quickly left after doing things for Qin and did not dare to stay under Gu Qingzhu's nose, because if she stayed, sooner or later, Gu Qingzhu would remember what the key had given her.

"The nanny misunderstood." Gu Qingzhu looked up at her leisure: "I said there are many things in the private warehouse, which means that everything is good. If you don't say you can't pick it, you won't bother the nanny."

The smile on Mama Li's face finally froze. Her eyebrows were slightly raised and she forced a smile: "Miss can't trust me? Is she a wife's room, and I shouldn't trust me."

Gu Qingzhu smiled and said, "Of course I can trust the nanny, but the nanny sometimes likes to forget things."

Madam Li was puzzled: "I have never forgotten what the lady ordered."

Gu Qingzhu stood up from the soft collapse with a book and walked to Mama Li. She was slender and tall, and at the age of thirteen, she was almost the same height as Mama Li. Although she was thin, she had the aura of a eldest daughter from the uncle's mansion.

"Why did Tianma get frightened that time? How could the wheels of the carriage loosen? Why did I... fall out of the carriage?"

After three questions in a row, Madam Li's face turned pale and hesitated and didn't know how to answer.

Seeing her nervous, Gu Qingzhu immediately laughed, but Madam Li's scalp tightened and her whole body was full of goose bumps.

"Look, Madam forgot about this. Before I find out this, Madam should not worry about other things. Go down."

Madam Li left almost in a daze, not daring to look back, for fear that Gu Qingzhu would see the flaws. After walking a few steps slowly, she couldn't help but speed up and hurriedly left Gu Qingzhu's courtyard.

Gu Qingzhu stood at the window with the mansion records, looked at Madam Li's back as she hurriedly walked in, and slowly hid the smile on her face.

*********************

At the foot of the snow-capped mountains in the Western Regions, there were bandits attacking. Marquis Wu'an was ordered to lead troops to eliminate the bandits and stationed at the foot of the snow-capped mountains for more than a month.

The conditions for preparations were extremely difficult and were plagued by heavy snow day and night.

Qi Xuan was wearing the armor of a pioneer camp soldier, sitting next to the fire, holding a steamed bun that was frozen harder than a stone in his hand. The northwest wind blew over the face, and the wind and snow were also slammed on his face, causing pain and pain.

How could he be here? He was obviously fighting Daliang in Mobei and won, and was about to let Qingzhubing go and ask her to forgive him. The assassins came. The assassins who were mixed with Daliang's prisoners not only killed his Qingzhu, but also killed him while he was stunned by the body holding Qingzhu.

When you open your eyes again, it’s snowing all over the sky.

It seemed that Maozhen, who was twenty years younger, brought him a bowl of hot soup: "Crown Prince, the pheasant soup I just made has been added with mushrooms. You should drink it while it is hot and warm your body. The Marquis' reinforcements will arrive tomorrow."
