Someone sent grapes to Gu's mansion, and the name was for Gu Qingzhou, either the Yan family or the Si family.

"Who gave it?" Gu Guizhang asked, whether it was from the Yan family or the Si family.

Gu Qingzhou stretched out his head and glanced at the basket.

Very ordinary bamboo baskets, even a bit old; the baskets are not big, the grapes are just over half, and they are too small, and the sales are quite satisfactory.

There are not many grapes, and the quality is ordinary. It is definitely not sent by the Yan family or the Si family.

Gu Qingzhou rolled his eyes and pointed it out directly: "This is strange. If it was given by the adoptive mother or the old lady, I would definitely ask the adjutant to bring it in, and it is not enough for our family to eat."

Gu Guizhang thought for a moment and agreed.

There are not too many grapes, the Yan family and the Si family would not do such a thing.

Moreover, they will all be adjutants, and no matter how bad it is, there will be servants, and they will not be sent to the door for no reason.

"I can't guess who sent it." Gu Qingzhou said.

Gu Guizhang was also confused.

He called the servant in and asked who sent it: "What kind of person does it look like?"

"It's a person who seems to be a porter. He occasionally delivered food to the mansion. He said that someone knew that he was delivering food to Gu Mansion, so he ordered him to deliver it. I only assumed that Miss Qingzhou knew about it and didn't ask any further questions." humane.

Gu Guizhang waved his hand, confirming that it was not a gift from the Yan family or the Si family, and was slightly disappointed.

Qin Zhengzheng said with a smile: "It's always a kindness of others. Since it's a food delivery, I'll find out when he comes back tomorrow and ask him."

Gu Guizhang nodded.

He didn't pay attention to a little snack, and was going to let the cook take it down and wash it.

A few ripples flashed in Gu Zhang's eyes, and he said with a smile: "The light boat runs outside every day, is it a gift from a friend I know?"

"It's hard to say." Gu Qingzhou's expression didn't change, he didn't look at Gu Huang, but looked into Gu Guizhang's eyes, calmly and with a bit of confidence, "I do know one or two friends."

Gu Guizhang has been partial to Gu Qingzhou recently, to the point of outrageous, not only because Gu Qingzhou brought him glory and made him a guest of the military government, but also his fourth concubine had been blowing the pillow wind all day and praising Gu Qingzhou. benefit.

Gu Guizhang felt that among all the children, only Gu Qingzhou could sell at a good price and bring him glory!

How can this not hurt her?

What Gu Zhang was pointing at implied that Gu Qingzhou was unruly outside and made messy friends. Gu Guizhang listened harshly, and immediately said with a straight face: "It's a family's love to have a friend give you food!"

Then he glanced at Gu Xiang, "Eating can't stop your hearts?"

A warning to Gu Xiang is also a warning to everyone.

Gu Zhang was choked up, unable to speak any longer, feeling helpless and aggrieved.

Everyone stopped talking.

The servant took the grapes to the kitchen, washed them and brought them up.

Gu Qingzhou ate one and felt that the sour taste was too sweet and he didn't like it.

Others also felt that everyone gave up after tasting it.

Only the fourth aunt liked it so much that she ate half the plate by herself.

Holding the tea, Gu Guizhang watched his fourth concubine eat so much, and said, "Sour son and spicy daughter, Xiangxue is afraid that she will give birth to a son for me!"

The fourth aunt smiled and passed her eyes, infinitely charming.

Qin Zhengzheng also came up and said a few words.

Gu Qingzhou sat alone on the corner of the sofa, looked at the grapes in the saucer, and then looked at Qin Zhengzheng, thinking a little.

"These grapes are to be given to me by name, and the fourth aunt likes to eat them." Gu Qingzhou thought about it, "What are you going to do?"

Gu Qingzhou guessed that the grapes were arranged by Qin Zhengzheng, because friends Gu Qingzhou knew would not send things anonymously, so there was no need to be so sneaky.

It's Qin Zhengzheng doing the trick.

The price of grapes of poor quality is not low. Qin Zhengzheng was reluctant to buy a whole basket, so he bought half a basket.

"The grapes are washed and the whole family will eat them. Qin Zhengzheng can't possibly poison the grapes. She hasn't become so mad." Gu Qingzhou thought again, "Then what is she spending the money for?"

It's not related to Gu Qingzhou, not necessarily Gu Qingzhou.

Gu Qingzhou glanced at the fourth concubine who was still full of interest: "maybe, Qin Zhengzheng's goal this time is the fourth concubine? So, frame me, or use me to divert her attention?"

Thinking of Qin Zhengzheng's forbearance the day before yesterday, Gu Qingzhou felt even more that Qin Zhengzheng took advantage of the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, targeting two people - Gu Qingzhou and the fourth concubine.

After the four concubines were pregnant, Gu Guizhang obeyed her words.

Qin Zhengzheng found that the fourth concubine had no conscience, and even helped Gu Qingzhou and Qin Zhengzheng's mother and daughter to fight against each other many times.

If the fourth concubine gave birth to Lin'er again, her position would be more stable, and she would ride Qin Zhengzheng's neck in the future.

Gu Qingzhou guessed that Qin Zhengzheng would never allow the fourth concubine to give birth to the child.

Gu Qingzhou also bumped into Qin Zhengzheng going to the kitchen yesterday, and today is delivering grapes again, this must have something to do with the food.

Poisoned?

How to get off?

The whole family eats together, and the fourth concubine is even more cautious.

Gu Qingzhou pondered Qin Zhengzheng's intentions in his heart, and remained calm.

Over there, Qin Zhengzheng spoke.

"...Master, the lady of the Si family got married the day before yesterday. I heard something." Qin Zhengzheng smiled.

Gu Guizhang asked, "What's the matter?"

"Qingzhou's medical skills are very good, do you know this?" Qin Zhengzheng asked.

Gu Guizhang was stunned.

Gu Qingzhou cured Mrs. Si, Mrs. Yan, and Huo Yue.

But these people didn't have any particularly close contacts with the Gu family, and they didn't have any common friends, so no one passed this on to Gu Guizhang.

Gu Guizhang really didn't know.

Qin Zhengzheng also heard about it by accident the day before yesterday.

She told Gu Qingzhou what she heard, adding fuel to it, and described Gu Qingzhou as a genius doctor.

"I went to the Governor's Mansion in the twelfth lunar month of last year. No wonder Hanghang said that the light boat twisted her hand and connected it to her again. It turns out that she really has such ability." Qin Zhengzheng hated her tightly.

They all underestimated Gu Qingzhou.

She told Gu Guizhang about Gu Qingzhou's medical skills.

Gu Guizhang was amused: "Qingzhou is a child who knows medicine? Who are you listening to?"

He doesn't believe it.

Qin Zhengzheng had to make him believe it, so he said, "It was said by the wife of a military government official. If you don't believe it, go and find out."

Gu Guizhang believed 30%.

He asked Gu Qingzhou, "Is this true?"

Gu Qingzhou smiled: "I'm just a little bit of fur, it's the old lady who lifts me up."

Gu Guizhang didn't care, he just thought it was the Si family bragging about Gu Qingzhou, so he didn't bother to ask.

The weather was clear, the blue sky was cloudless, and the hot sun shone down from the lush treetops, casting golden halos.

hotter.

When the weather is hot, everyone has no appetite.

"I can make a few vegetable and fruit salads." Qin Zhengzheng smiled, "Let's change the taste too?"

Salad is used in Western food, and is highly respected by the Gu family.

"When did you learn to make salad?" Gu Guizhang asked, "Then can you make steak?"

"I'm learning, salad is easier after all." Qin Zheng said.

Afterwards, Qin Zhengzheng said again: "Master, the children have grown up, why don't I teach them to make salads, and they will take turns making them for the master every night, so that they will be filial piety."

"Alright." Gu Guizhang was satisfied and in a good mood.

Gu Qingzhou understood everything at this time.

Qin Zhengzheng went to the kitchen again, sent grapes, and praised Gu Qingzhou's medical skills. The original purpose was here.

After knowing what to do, Gu Qingzhou remained calm.

In the afternoon, she, Gu Xiang and Gu Ying followed Qin Zhengzheng to learn how to make salad.

"Mum, I don't want to eat grass, and I'm not a cow." The fourth elder Gu Ying was reluctant.

Qin Zhengzheng glared at her.

Gu Qingzhou calmly started to wash the chicory leaves, and then learned to make Western salads.

On the first night, Qin Zhengzheng made it himself and brought it to the dinner table.

The people in the Gu family all have their original appetites. They think that a **** vegetable salad is far less delicious than a cold dish.

But Gu Guizhang advocates Western culture.

After eating, Gu Zhang also praised Qin Zhengzheng: "Mum's salad is delicious. Eat some vegetable salad in hot weather, which is refreshing and easy to digest. Dad, don't you think?"

"That's true." Gu Guizhang said.

"Then I'll make it for Dad tomorrow." Gu Zhang smiled.

Gu Qingzhou smiled and graze silently.

The next day, Gu Qingzhou went to the bank, she took out fifty yuan, and went to a smoke shop in the city.

This smokehouse is luxuriously decorated, with a tall gatehouse and gorgeous stained glass.

There are many smoke halls, Gu Qingzhou is wearing an old-fashioned summer cloth dress, a moon-white mid-sleeve slanted cardigan, and her hair is braided in long braids, like a young girl in the Qing Dynasty.

The steward of the smokehouse saw her and looked at her suspiciously.

There are women who smoke opium, old fashioned and fashionable.

"Miss, are you here alone?" Seeing that the visitor is a guest, the guy will lead Gu Qingzhou in.

Gu Qingzhou waved his hand: "I heard that Jiu Ye often comes here. I wonder if Jiu Ye is going to work today?"

Jiuye is Xijiu, the first manager of Huo Yue's side. This smokehouse is the largest smokehouse of the Youth Gang, and Xijiu comes here every Wednesday to discuss matters.

"Go, go, where's the hairy kid from, is it troublesome!" When the man heard that she wanted to see Jiuye, he immediately blasted her out.

Did Jiuye meet casually?

Who wouldn't want to see Jiuye in the whole of Yuecheng?

The bodyguards around Jiuye are like clouds. Even the steward of this smoke shop can't get close to Jiuye. Where does this little girl come from, thinking that she can see Jiuye casually?

"Then you go and tell Jiu Ye that Miss Gu wants to see him." Gu Qingzhou said again.

The young man naturally refused to obey, and tried to drive her away.

Gu Qingzhou didn't leave.

The guests watched the excitement and surrounded Gu Qingzhou curiously.

At this moment, Xi Jiu went downstairs.

Xi Jiu was born keen, and he was afraid that someone would try to kill him in troubled waters. Seeing the commotion, he looked over like a torch and saw Gu Qingzhou.

Xi Jiu was shocked and hurriedly said to the people around him: "Quick, go and invite that lady up!"

The little guy was rushing Gu Qingzhou away, but he said, "Miss Gu, Jiuye, please go upstairs and talk."

The guy's jaw nearly dropped.

Feeling, does this little girl really know Jiu Ye?

The spectators were also stunned.

"Who is this? The ninth master actually asked her to go upstairs to talk, it seems to be a big deal."

"I don't know, I looked at that girl with a graceful temperament and a high status."

The young man was even more surprised. When he watched Gu Qingzhou go upstairs, Jiu Ye greeted him with a smile on his face.

The young man's legs were almost weak: where is this big Buddha, let Jiu Ye be honored to welcome him?

Gu Qingzhou didn't know what the little guy was thinking.

When he arrived at the private room, Xijiu asked respectfully and surprised, "Miss Gu, it's the most unsafe thing to do in this kind of smokehouse. Why are you here?"

"I made a special trip to find you." Gu Qingzhou said, "I have something to trouble you!"
