It also rained all day on Sunday.

The rain was thin, floating like a hairspring, and it was foggy everywhere. On the courtyard wall of Gu Mansion, those green vines have also lost their broad and green leaves, clinging to the wall bare and lifeless.

The raindrops that fell on the milky white railings accumulated little by little. With a breeze, the crystal clear raindrops rolled down and fell on the bluestone path, splashing a crystal-like flower.

Gu Qingzhou sat in front of the window and wrote carefully.

She has done all her homework in school. This is her main business, and Gu Qingzhou can't be wasted.

The homework is not so easy. She sits for six hours without moving, and writes all of it carefully.

After finishing his homework, Gu Qingzhou stretched and found a quilted blouse with ten kinds of brocade in agarwood and a dark green long skirt in the closet.

Afraid of getting her shoes wet, she deliberately changed into a pair of leather shoes.

The leather shoes are also dark green, and they are in line with her skirt, hidden inside the skirt, not abrupt at all.

After getting dressed, Gu Qingzhou went to knock on the second concubine's door.

"...Second wife, I'm going to the bookstore. The school asked me to buy two English novels. I'm going to do an appreciation next month. I only remember now." Gu Qingzhou said.

The second concubine was reading a magazine in her room when she heard the words: "Do you want me to accompany you?"

"No need, it's raining outside, making me wet, so uncomfortable." Gu Qingzhou said.

The second concubine was also lazy and didn't want to move, so she said, "Well, you can go."

After all, she got up and took two yuan to Gu Qingzhou.

Gu Qingzhou said, "Can the driver, Lao Sun, send me?"

Gu's family has two cars, except the one that Gu Guizhang goes to work, the other one is for taking the children to school, taking Qin Zhengzheng out, etc.

The driver, Lao Sun, is going to send his wife and children off.

"Okay." Second Auntie said happily.

Gu Qingzhou went downstairs, first went to the downside where the servant lived, and asked Lao Sun to prepare to drive.

"Miss Qingzhou, on such a rainy day, are you still going out?" The servant Chen and Gu Qingzhou chatted.

"Yeah, go buy a few books. Gu Qingzhou said.

Sister Chen said that girls' families need to read more, and now they are not as good as before.

Nagging, Gu Qingzhou talked to them without any air, and Lao Sun parked the car at the door.

Gu Qingzhou got into the car.

Sitting down, Lao Sun asked Gu Qingzhou, "Miss Qingzhou, where are you going?"

Gu Qingzhou was silent.

"Go to the bookstore south of Notre Dame Road first." Gu Qingzhou said.

Notre Dame Road is next to Gu Mansion, two streets away, and it takes less than fifteen minutes to walk there.

The Gu family is not prominent, so close to the distance, the master will not allow it.

Waste oil!

But the other party is Miss Gu Qingzhou, who will marry to the Governor's Mansion in the future. The servants would also be observant, and the old grandson was the smartest and most cautious. Without saying a word, he drove the car to the bookstore on the south side of Notre Dame Road.

Lao Sun drove relatively slowly, and he arrived in five minutes.

The bookstore is not big, and there are few guests on rainy days. Behind the glass door, the electric light is on. The lights are orange, warm, and there is a kind of plain warmth.

You can vaguely smell the fragrance of ink in the bookstore.

"Miss Qingzhou, it's here." Old Sun said.

Gu Qingzhou didn't get out of the car.

She sat in the back, motionless.

Lao Sun was a little strange. He was the driver of the Gu family, and with a meager salary, he didn't dare to offend the ladies and wives, so he didn't dare to look back.

The carriage was quiet, with the light fragrance of roses lingering.

But Lao Sun's heart is up and down.

What does it mean?

After about two minutes, Lao Sun said again, "Miss Qingzhou, here we are."

He's very responsible, he just doesn't look back. Glancing at the rearview mirror, Gu Qingzhou sat with his arms crossed, with a quiet demeanor, as if he was looking at the old grandson.

The old grandson groaned.

"...I have always been open and aboveboard, and I'm not afraid of wives and young ladies checking." Lao Sun comforted himself.

This kind of psychological warfare lasted for five minutes. At this moment, Lao Sun was full of doubts, even tense, and the defense line in his heart was the easiest to step on, and Gu Qingzhou only spoke.

"Old Sun, you always take your wife out. Has your wife asked you to park somewhere recently, and then she took another rickshaw to leave?" Gu Qingzhou asked.

The old grandson's scalp was numb.

Really a few times.

But can such a thing be said? When the driver sent the master out, he knew the movements of the master best. If he was unreliable, he would have been dismissed long ago.

Lao Sun knows very well what can be said and what can't be said, and he still has to rely on this salary to support his family.

"No, Miss Qingzhou." Lao Sun wanted to say firmly, but his voice trembled involuntarily.

"Old Sun, you're not being honest!" Gu Qingzhou's slender and tender little hands gently touched her thick bangs, revealing a smooth jade-like forehead and eyes that were as bright and cold as ice.

His eyes crossed the car seat and pinned on Lao Sun.

"...Now that the master quits his job, he won't say that he doesn't like the servants, but only that the servants are not clean, so as not to get a mean reputation and not be able to recruit servants in the future." Gu Qingzhou reclined on the back of the chair , said quietly.

This is the truth.

The status of the servants is low. People who can afford servants are all well-heeled, and they will have a reputation for being mean and unbearable to resign, and they simply say that the servants are not clean.

All servants know that, but this bowl of rice still needs to be eaten.

The servants who have been dismissed will basically no one dare to ask for them in the future.

Lao Sun is just a driver, and the driver is a test of character. If he is dismissed by the Gu family, it will be difficult to find something to do in the future, unless he goes to the wharf to work as a coolie.

But the money for the coolie at the wharf can't support the whole family.

Lao Sun was so frightened that he didn't know how to offend this eldest lady.

"Miss Qingzhou, you have the heart of a bodhisattva, don't be a servant to me." Lao Sun was so anxious that he almost cried.

If he is fired, what will his family do? Do you watch the whole family starve to death?

"I won't let you go, unless I take me to the place where my wife parked and changed cars." Gu Qingzhou said, "Old Sun, you are so smart, I will not treat you badly if you are my eyes and ears in the future."

Old Sun thought for a while.

Gu Qingzhou has been home for less than a year. She is smart and capable, and the master likes her very much.

In the past year, a lot of things have happened, Gu Mansion is still those people on the surface, but secretly it has already changed the day.

Compared with Miss Qingzhou, Mrs. is really bad now.

If the old lady hadn't come, the wife would not even have the qualifications to eat at the table.

And Miss Qingzhou is going to marry to the Overseer's Mansion in the future, maybe she will bring the servant she is used to.

The driver is very important, and usually you have to use cronies. In case she is favored by Miss Gu Qingzhou, she regards Lao Sun as her confidant, and Lao Sun can go to the Governor's Mansion to do things.

Lao Sun has no big dreams, he just wants a higher salary and can support all six children.

Lao Sun never dared to offend Gu Qingzhou.

"Miss Qingzhou, I'm just a servant." Old Sun still frowned and said nervously, "I took you there today, and I will take others to the place where you used to go another day. This is a servant, Old Sun. Also immoral."

"Old Sun, I know you are cautious, you can rest assured that when you are my eyes and ears in the future, I will never doubt you. I have always used people without doubt, and I will do what I say." Gu Qingzhou said.

When it comes to this, Lao Sun has no choice.

Gu Qingzhou coerced and lured, and the old Sun weighed it again and again and said, "Miss Qingzhou, you are sitting firmly."

The old sun took Gu Qingzhou to the south of the city.

The generation in the south of the city is the old city, with old-style houses, wooden doors and windows, and people who pass by by chance are all wearing long gowns, and they seem to have returned to the previous dynasty.

Old Sun said to Gu Qingzhou: "My wife gets off at this intersection every time, so I don't have to pick it up, and then she takes a rickshaw and goes southeast."

Where to go, the old grandson doesn't know.

Gu Qingzhou nodded.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, grandson, let's go back." Gu Qingzhou said.

When returning to Notre Dame Road, Gu Qingzhou went to the clock shop and called Si Xingpei's annex.

It was Si Xingpei's adjutant who answered the phone.

"...Help me find someone." Gu Qingzhou said.

She told the adjutant that Qin Zhengzheng hid a baby in a cumbersome residential building in the old town in the south of the city. She was about one and a half years old. The baby girl came in the last six months.

"There are old neighbors nearby, and suddenly someone came along with a one-and-a-half-year-old child. After all, the child will cry." Gu Qingzhou said, "You can find the news for me within a day, and then let me Sister Zhu called me?"

"Okay, Miss Gu." The adjutant said.

Gu Qingzhou hung up the phone.

Then, she went to the bookstore again and bought two English books.

When she came back, there was no one in the living room, and naturally no one asked where she went.

On the eve of dinner, Gu Qingzhou received a call.

It was Mrs. Zhu who called.

"Miss Gu, there is an address, you can write it down." Sister Zhu smiled.

"So fast?" Gu Qingzhou was surprised, less than two hours before and after.

Nancheng District is so big and has a large population...

"Okay, say it." Gu Qingzhou said.

Sister Zhu reported an address.

At the same time, Mrs. Zhu told Gu Qingzhou: "It was a woman with a child, and a man came to deliver food by chance. The adjutant has already entered the door, should he take him away?"

"No, I'll take a look tomorrow." Gu Qingzhou said.

When she answered the call, the second aunt went downstairs.

The second concubine didn't ask whose phone number, and Gu Qingzhou didn't explain.

During dinner, the fourth concubine suddenly said, "Is there any leftovers from yesterday's chicken soup?"

"Half a bowl left." The cook said.

"Go back and take it to my room for a late-night snack." said the fourth concubine.

The cook said yes.

Qin Zhengzheng said with concern: "If you want to eat, ask them to make fresh. It's not difficult to have a chicken a day, but don't leave the rest, it's not good for children."

"It's okay, it's cold now, it won't be bad if you leave it for a day." The fourth concubine said with a smile.

Their words were actually said in front of the whole family.

Qin Zhengzheng's speech is gentle, his attitude is kind, and he is very concerned about the appearance of the fourth concubine.

The second aunt saw it, and she was inexplicably a little worried: "Are they playing tricks? Why are they all weird recently?"

But the second aunt couldn't figure it out, her eyes were spinning on everyone's faces, she really had no idea, so she had to throw it away.
