Mrs. Si gave eight large yellow croakers to Gu Qingzhou.

She actually pinned her hopes on Gu Qingzhou.

"You must convince the Overseer to let Qiongzhi stay in Yuecheng." Mrs. Si said.

From Mrs. Si's attitude, Gu Qingzhou understood one thing: the commander-in-chief likes Gu Qingzhou very much, and even values ​​her, and the commander-in-chief will listen to her words.

Understanding this, and thinking of the assurance given to her by the governor last time, Gu Qingzhou was a little sad.

The part she took from the watch had already been stolen by Si Xingpei, so Gu Qingzhou had to come back. Every time she thought about it, she felt sorry for the commander-in-chief.

"A hundred years from now, the governor will belong to Si Xingpei as well. If you think about it this way, it would not be a big loss for Si Xingpei to steal it." Gu Qingzhou comforted himself in this way.

This kind of comfort is actually unbearable, and she will still blame herself after a while.

She regained her senses and took hold of the gold bar.

The gold bars are very heavy, bright and dazzling. Gu Qingzhou held them and thought to himself, "Even if there is no grandfather's property, this money will be enough for Li Ma and I to live until we grow old, and even open a small drug store."

Eight large yellow croakers, even if they were placed in front of Si Xingpei, would be a huge sum of money, not to mention the poor Gu Qingzhou?

This is simply a huge sum of money.

But this money is not so easy to earn. If you take Mrs. Si's money today, Mrs. Si can save Gu Qingzhou from redemption tomorrow.

The danger is too great!

Gu Qingzhou put the gold bars in the schoolbag.

The next day, she still carried the gold bars to school.

In the afternoon is a vocal class.

The school was preparing for the Christmas chorus, and the vocal class did not need to be taught alone. Gu Qingzhou was injured and lost the opportunity to chorus. She successfully asked for leave in the afternoon.

The sky has cleared up.

The bright sunshine sifted through the horned branches, and there were mottled shadows on the ground, but there was no temperature. The winter was approaching this prosperous seaside city step by step.

Gu Qingzhou called a rickshaw and went to the governor's mansion.

"I'm here to see the Overseer. Gu Qingzhou said to the adjutant at the door.

The adjutant asked Gu Qingzhou to wait a moment and went in to report.

Soon, the adjutant came out: "Miss Gu, the Overseer invites you to speak in the outer study."

When she arrived, the commander-in-chief was resting, and after the half-afternoon meeting today, he was also tired.

The adjutant brought up the Overseer's favorite Longjing, and the room was filled with incense.

"Qingzhou, take a seat." The commander-in-chief said kindly.

The commander-in-chief is a man who separates the military from the family. He is serious and cruel in the military, but elegant and charitable at home.

"Yes." Gu Qingzhou sat on the sofa opposite.

She brought another cup of tea and glanced at the commander-in-chief across the coffee table. She took two sips and put down the tea cup.

Gu Qingzhou sat up straight.

The commander-in-chief drank a few sips of hot tea, and his mood improved a little. When he was asking about Gu Qingzhou's visit, Gu Qingzhou spoke first.

"Overseer, there is a difficult proposition in our school's Chinese class. I want to ask you for advice." Gu Qingzhou said warmly.

"What proposition?" the commander-in-chief asked casually.

"Ideal and homeland." Gu Qingzhou said.

The commander-in-chief was concerned about his family and country. Hearing this, he raised his eyes to look at Gu Qingzhou, his eyes were a little cautious, and he sat up a little more: "Your school still has this kind of homework? It's rare."

"Yes."

"Then how do you solve the problem?" the commander-in-chief asked.

"This is where I am embarrassed. I am afraid that my problem is too narrow, Mies doesn't like it, and I can't qualify." Gu Qingzhou said, "Overseer, you are a prince, and the proposition of family, country and ideals, if you pass your test, Then it's easy to get past the Mies that."

The commander-in-chief nodded: "Tell me about it."

Gu Qingzhou bit her lip lightly, her slender and white teeth fell into her cherry red full lips, quite hesitant.

"It's okay for you to say, I won't criticize you." The commander-in-chief encouraged her with a smile.

Gu Qingzhou's ink-colored eyes turned slightly, and her clear eyes flowed. She said, "The ocean is made up of every drop of water, and the desert is made of every grain of sand. Overseer, which drop of water and which grain of sand do you think is more important? "

The commander-in-chief was stunned.

This stopped him too.

"Our Huaxia is being harassed by foreign powers from outside, divided by warlords, and internal and external troubles. If we want to unify, is it the highest ideal?" Gu Qingzhou asked again.

"It's natural." The commander-in-chief laughed, thinking that it was good to study, and he knew a little about politics.

"The epitome of the unification of China, is family reunion also ideal?" Gu Qingzhou asked again.

The commander-in-chief suddenly realized at this time.

He understood Gu Qingzhou's intention.

Gu Qingzhou came to plead for Si Qiongzhi.

The commander-in-chief didn't go around with her, but said directly: "Qingzhou, Qiongzhi's ticket has been booked, you don't need to say anymore."

Gu Qingzhou was silent.

She lowered her head and took a sip of half-warm tea.

"...Qingzhou, is it your wife who asked you to intercede?" the commander-in-chief asked again.

Gu Qingzhou nodded: "Madam gave me eight large yellow croakers."

After all, she showed the large yellow croaker in the bag to the commander-in-chief.

It's all gold bullion from the junta's treasury.

The commander-in-chief took a breath, feeling too much.

"My wife gave me this huge sum of money, which shows how much she wants to keep Qiongzhi. I was not raised by my parents since I was a child, and I didn't feel any hardships, but I felt empty.

The master in the jade shop wants a piece of jade to become a talent, so he keeps polishing it and accompanies it day and night, instead of throwing it abroad and letting it die on its own.

Overseer, Qiongzhi is only a teenager, she still has the opportunity to be a heroine. There is no tiger girl in the door, such a piece of jade, can you bear to throw it abroad? "

The hard as iron heart of the commander-in-chief suddenly loosened a little.

Gu Qingzhou said the words "women hero", hitting the weak underbelly of the commander-in-chief.

He didn't need the "behaved, obedient, kind" daughter that the Sifu said.

China's territory is divided, and there will be no shortage of military turmoil in the future. The sons and daughters of the governor should become a grain of sand and a drop of water to defend the country.

They are all important.

"She made a big mistake." The commander-in-chief sighed.

"You think she made a big mistake, I think it's your fault!" Gu Qingzhou said.

The commander-in-chief was stunned, looking at her puzzled.

Gu Qingzhou said: "If I steal my father's things, the most valuable thing is gold bars. What you have is too precious, and what she steals is precious. The responsibility should not be given to her alone."

Her remarks, both openly and secretly exaggerated, were all in the heart of the commander.

Why would the commander-in-chief be willing to give up Si Qiongzhi?

A man is so cruel that he can deny his six relatives. However, this stone pryed out a little crack, and then it could be broken with a random drop.

The problem of the commander-in-chief was broken by Gu Qingzhou.

He glanced at the gold bars in Gu Qingzhou's schoolbag and said with a smile, "Put it away and leave it to your father for safekeeping. Don't lose it. A big yellow croaker can buy several small houses!"

This is to agree to Gu Qingzhou's request.

"Thank you, Overseer." Gu Qingzhou smiled, his eyes were crooked, and the girl's tenderness could not be concealed.

After a pause, she said again, "Is it too much, or..."

She wanted to pay back, but hesitated, not knowing how much she should pay, she hesitated.

The commander-in-chief was amused by her.

"Not much, Qingzhou will be the daughter-in-law of the Si family in the future. Remember to bring these with you when you dowry. It is still the Si family's." The commander-in-chief teased her.

This is a huge sum of money. It is a lie for the governor to say that he is not distressed, but it is not a waste to give it to Gu Qingzhou.

Back then, the help that Gu Qingzhou's grandfather gave to the governor was by no means comparable to this amount of money.

A sum of money of unknown origin, after such a baptism by Gu Qingzhou, became the money given to her by the military government, which was completely washed away.

Gu Qingzhou put it away carefully.

After the matter was finished, Gu Qingzhou also got it done. She got up and left, went to the bank, and kept the money in the safe. In the future, she could live, escape, and even open a small pharmacy.

After leaving the bank, Gu Qingzhou went to the post office again to check his letters.

He Wei, the eldest daughter of He's pharmacy, wrote to Gu Qingzhou: "The fifth concubine of the Si family gave 400 yuan. Both my father and mother knew that it was my sister's intention. We saved it for my sister. Come pick it up in a few days."

The He family will not waste a penny of Gu Qingzhou.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingzhou looked at the time, it was just half past four. Now go to where, and still catch up with dinner.

So, Gu Qingzhou went to He's pharmacy.

She was on the tram.

On the road, Huo Yue's car passed by, and the driver saw Gu Qingzhou sharply.

After hesitating, Huo Yue followed Gu Qingzhou to He's pharmacy.

Gu Qingzhou arrived first.

"...The money is from the fifth concubine who thanked you for your good medicine, and she gave her another gift." Gu Qingzhou said.

Mu Sanniang disagreed and took out the money, insisting that Gu Qingzhou take it back.

"Put it on the counter, count me as a stake, and give me a hit at the end of the year, okay?" Gu Qingzhou said, "I know the pharmacy is difficult, let alone auntie, it's He Wei, I've been here for more than a year, and she's here in Spring and Autumn. It's this blue cloth cheongsam."

Mu Sanniang couldn't bear it.

After persuading for a long time, Mu Sanniang and He Mengde finally agreed to keep the money on the counter and count it as Gu Qingzhou's shareholding.

"Qingzhou, you have to know that it's not that our pharmacy is not doing well, it's that traditional Chinese medicine has come to an end. During this time, it is much better than before, but it may not be profitable. You will lose your money if you put it on the counter. "He Mengde said.

"Then I'd rather pay!" Gu Qingzhou smiled.

He Mengde couldn't, so he took out the ledger and recorded the money in the ledger.

Gu Qingzhou didn't eat and wanted to go back early, so He Wei took her to Hutongkou.

"This weekend, shall we go to the movies?" Gu Qingzhou asked He Wei.

He smiled and said, "Sister, I have two tutors to do on weekends."

"You've worked too hard." Gu Qingzhou said.

It was already dusk, the golden evening light fell, and the sight was a little hazy.

Gu Qingzhou didn't see Huo Yue's car not far away.

He Wei took a few steps, but noticed it.

There were no cars passing by on Ping'an West Street. He Wei was curious and looked at it again and again, and even wondered if the other party's origin was unknown.

Then, she saw Huo Yue through the car window glass.

"Master Huo!" He Wei was overjoyed, hurried forward, and looked at Huo Yue's car window.
