Gu Qingzhou persuaded the little butler who came to pick her up to give up the train and go to Yuecheng by boat instead.

She didn't want to be found by the man and wanted the Browning back.

Yuecheng is so big, and he doesn't believe that he can easily find her without going to the train station. Even if he finds it, Gu Qingzhou will hide the gun or sell it on the black market for a high price, and he will not admit it.

"The train encounters control every three or two times and stops for inspection. I'm afraid, so I might as well take a boat and enter the city from the dock." Gu Qingzhou bit his lip lightly.

Her lips were full of cherry red, her snow-white teeth fell into them, and her big eyes looked at her with water, making one's heart soften.

Although Wang Guanshi is a rough person, he also understands Lianxiang Xiyu: "Don't be afraid, Miss Qingzhou, let's get off the bus at the next stop and take the boat instead."

At the next stop, they did take a boat.

After boarding the boat, Gu Qingzhou became more friendly to Steward Wang.

"I've been with Li Ma in the country since I can remember. I don't know who is in the family..." Gu Qingzhou asked Steward Wang for news.

Wang Guan is a good talker, so he talked about the Gu family again.

Gu Qingzhou nodded, almost as she understood.

The boat was slower than the train, and they arrived at Yuecheng five days late.

Carrying a brown rattan suitcase, Gu Qingzhou stood at the door of Gu's mansion and looked at the French-style building carefully.

"This is my grandfather's property." Gu Qingzhou thought to himself.

Gu Qingzhou's maternal grandfather was a wealthy businessman in Yuecheng, and his ancestor was a cloth maker.

After her mother had a dystocia, her only uncle was stabbed to death in a smokehouse after smoking opium cream.

The grandfather, the white-haired man, gave away a pair of children. He couldn't bear it and died. All the family business fell into the hands of Gu Qingzhou's father.

"Miss Qingzhou, you're home." Steward Wang smiled and knocked on the big iron gate.

"Yeah, I'm home." Gu Qingzhou sighed.

This is her grandfather's property, it should be hers alone, of course her home.

Her own things, she will slowly find back.

She narrowed her eyes, revealing a faint arc, and smiled shyly and innocently.

"I've grown up, it's time for the family business to come back to me." Gu Qingzhou thought to himself, with a faint smile on the corner of his lips.

Manager Wang sighed in his heart: "This Miss Qingzhou is too good, like a rabbit. The rest of the family are more treacherous than foxes, and they will definitely kill her."

Thinking of this, Manager Wang felt a pity.

Along the way, he still liked Gu Qingzhou quite a bit, and didn't want her to die so pitifully.

Entering the gate, a tall woman wearing a fine cloud brocade cheongsam, standing on Dan Chi, watched Gu Qingzhou quietly, with a smile in the corner of her eyes.

She is well maintained, about thirty-five or six, with a graceful waist and graceful appearance.

"Qingzhou?" She called softly, her voice gentle and kind.

This is Gu Qingzhou's stepmother Qin Zhengzheng.

Qin Zhengzheng is the cousin of Gu Qingzhou's biological mother, but secretly communicated with Gu Qingzhou's father, Gu Guizhang, and became Gu Guizhang's outer room.

At that time, Gu Guizhang and Gu Qingzhou's mother just got married.

Qin Zhengzheng gave birth to a child three years earlier than Gu Qingzhou's mother, so Gu Qingzhou now has a sister and a brother, both of whom are in her father's blood.

Very ironic!

After righting, Qin Zhengzheng gave birth to another pair of twin daughters.

Gu Guizhang and Qin Zhengzheng, with their four children, lived in Gu Qingzhou's grandfather's house, and they renamed the building "Gu Mansion".

The corners of Gu Qingzhou's lips were slightly raised, his smile was shy and shy, his slender eyelashes covered lightly, covering the chill in his eyes, and he did not speak.

Qin Zhengzheng and Wang Guanshi regarded her as shy.

"This is my wife, Miss Qingzhou. My name is Mu's mother." Manager Wang reminded Gu Qingzhou.

Gu Qingzhou lowered his eyebrows and smiled even more shyly, "Mama Mu" would never be called.

Does Qin Zhengzheng also match?

"Don't embarrass the child." Qin Zhengzheng was kind and gentle, and took the rattan suitcase in Gu Qingzhou's hand, "Come in."

"Yes." Gu Qingzhou's voice was like a gnat, stepping into the high threshold.

The hall of Gu's family is luxuriously decorated, with a complete set of Italian furniture, an Italian chandelier, and the branches are complex and gorgeous.

Gu Qingzhou was sitting in the living room drinking tea, and Qin Zhengzheng asked her a lot.

very hot.

Gu Qingzhou showed the shyness, clumsiness, taciturn and restraint of a country girl without any trace.

She disguised herself as a harmless little white rabbit.

Qin Zhengzheng "investigated" for a long time and came to the conclusion of a "little white rabbit".

This child is very easy to handle. It is not as good as her biological mother, who relaxes her vigilance.

Just be nice and timid, Qin Zhengzheng can temporarily accommodate her for a few days.

In the evening, Gu Guizhang came back from get off work.

Gu Guizhang took a black Dodge with a special driver. When he got off the bus, Qin Zhengzheng and Gu Qingzhou greeted him at the gate.

He was wearing a black gale cloak with a brown vertical striped suit, a vest of the same color, a black tie, a gold watch hanging on the vest pocket, and the chain of the gold watch glowed with golden light.

"Your father is back." Qin Zhengzheng said to Gu Qingzhou with a smile.

When Gu Guizhang saw Gu Qingzhou, his footsteps stopped, and his face was a little surprised.

"Oh, it's Qingzhou." Gu Guizhang looked at Gu Qingzhou, "You are so old..."

Gu Qingzhou wore a moon-white slanted cardigan with broken cherry blossoms and a dark green long skirt. The clothes were very rustic, but she was born beautifully, with two braids hanging down on the side of her face, which was extraordinarily elegant, more decent and better-looking than those girls in the city who cut their hair short.

Gu Guizhang was very satisfied.

At dinner, Gu Qingzhou saw everyone in the family.

Gu Qingzhou saw the four children and two concubines of the Gu family.

She lowered her eyebrows and looked at them calmly.

"Your braids are ridiculous, who still keeps braids now?" After dinner, the fourth young lady of the Gu family, Gu Ying, cut her short hair and pulled Gu Qingzhou's long braids.

Gu Ying felt jealous when she saw that her father had a good impression of Gu Qingzhou.

Gu Qingzhou's eyes flickered, and he smiled without saying a word.

"The girl's family should have long braids!" Gu Guizhang was displeased.

Gu Si was scolded by his father for a while, and pouted in grievance. She and the third miss, Gu Wei, are twins. They are both thirteen years old this year, and they especially like to play pranks.

"When she falls asleep, go and cut her braids!" Gu Si was angry, but he came up with an idea.

Doesn't father like Gu Qingzhou's braids? Then cut it and see how she pleases her father!

"Okay, okay." Gu San responded excitedly.

The twin sisters discussed entering Gu Qingzhou's bedroom at night.

Gu Qingzhou's bedroom is arranged on the third floor.

The kids are on the third floor.

Gu Qingzhou's room is next door, connected to the house of her half-brother Gu Shao, and the two share a balcony.

"There's no other way, this room is the only one left on the third floor." The servant explained, "Miss Qingzhou, you can make do with it first."

Gu Qingzhou tried the balcony door, it could be locked, so he rested at ease.

Her room is full of old furniture, rosewood cabinets, tables, and a carved wooden bed.

The lilac brocade quilt is also comfortable.

There is only one bathroom on the third floor.

When Gu Qingzhou went to take a bath, she was occupied by her half-sister first, and then her half-brother. It was only her turn until 9:30 in the evening.

After the bath, she sat on the bed and wiped her hair until eleven o'clock.

As soon as he lay down, Gu Qingzhou heard the sound of someone opening the door.

She was dormant in the dark, her back tense, like a leopard on alert.

"hurry up."

Gu Qingzhou heard the voice of the old third Gu Wei.

The third and fourth are going to cut Gu Qingzhou's hair.

"I don't want to cut her hair, I want to cut her face, she has a face like a fairy, I don't know who will harm her in the future!" The fourth elder said fiercely.

The third child was also vaguely excited: "Will Dad scold him?"

"Dad loves us, or does he love her?" the fourth child asked back.

Of course it hurts them.

The two little girls were actually more jealous of Gu Qingzhou's innocent and pure face.

Jealousy makes them vicious.

Their voices were very soft, and Gu Qingzhou could hear them clearly. The corners of her lips moved slightly, and she had a sarcastic smile.

Want to slash her face?

Then these two goods will have to practice for another ten or eight years.

The scissors approached, and when the cold iron was almost pressed against Gu Qingzhou's cheek, Gu Qingzhou sat up suddenly and grabbed the fourth brother's hand holding the scissors.

Gu Qingzhou moved very fast, and backhanded the scissors in the fourth child's hand and plunged them into the third child's arm next to him.

"what!"

Old San Gu Wei's screams resounded throughout the house.

Everyone in their sleep woke up.
