After the hope of "Si Xingpei's wife" was dashed, Gu Qingzhou lost his obsession with cycling.

She doesn't care anymore.

She doesn't need to explain anything to anyone, she is not someone's wife, so she has no obligation to anyone.

The path she will take in the future is more clear but firm.

Si Xingpei helped her and dealt with Qin Zhengzheng, but he saved him twice, and both of them were life-saving graces, so he should repay him.

Gu Qingzhou owes him nothing.

For the two life-saving graces, no matter how much he did for Gu Qingzhou, he deserved it, and Gu Qingzhou deserved it, so she didn't have to worry.

After all the pressure was gone, Gu Qingzhou's mood improved.

"What's for dinner?" Si Xingpei asked her.

"Shrimp fried basil." Gu Qingzhou said.

She was still in a good mood when she could still think about eating a certain dish. Si Xingpei took a closer look and saw that she was indeed fine, so she didn't go into it.

Si Xingpei cared about her very much, but unfortunately he was too busy recently to worry about her. He was planning a big event, and it took all his energy.

Gu Qingzhou was really tired. She sat in front of the fireplace, dried her hair, and napped on the sand chair, almost dropping the cashmere blanket around her into the fireplace.

Her hair was completely dry, and Si Xingpei carried her to the second floor.

She woke up in the middle, smiled at Si Xingpei, and continued to fall asleep.

She had a relieved smile on her face, very sweet.

She even knew how to laugh in her sleep, and with such a sweet smile, Si Xingpei made sure she was all right and put her on the bed.

He had to meet someone very important in the afternoon, so he went out first, and told Mrs. Zhu to cook for Gu Qingzhou: "the shrimp must be fresh, Qingzhou's mouth is the most poisonous, and she can eat it."

"Understood, young marshal, hurry up and do your work." Sister Zhu smiled, thinking that young marshal hurts people, she is really careful everywhere.

When Gu Qingzhou woke up, it was already dusk, and the street lights in the yard were on.

Looking at the window, the rain had already stopped, the courtyard was washed clean, and the dwarf holly leaves were dazzlingly green, vaguely emeralds.

The Yuhua Stones of the trails glowed with colorful awns.

Gu Qingzhou stood in front of the window, stunned for a moment, as if he had lost his sense of direction.

She had a kind of top-heavy hesitation, and it took a long time to slowly recover.

She got dressed and combed her hair, ready to go home.

When I went downstairs, Mrs. Zhu was busy in the kitchen, the smoke was wafting from the cooking, and there was already half a table of hot meals.

"Miss Gu, are you awake?" Sister Zhu saw Gu Qingzhou when she turned around and greeted her warmly, "Sit down, the meal will be ready."

Gu Qingzhou sat at the dining table and saw the fried basil with fresh shrimp, her appetite came up, and she wanted to eat before going back.

Soon, Mrs. Zhu served the pork ribs soup, and the dishes on the table were ready.

Gu Qingzhou invited Mrs. Zhu to eat together, but she couldn't finish it alone.

Sister-in-law Zhu sat next to Gu Qingzhou, chatting with Gu Qingzhou and having dinner.

Gu Qingzhou ate happily.

"Miss Gu is in a good mood today, and eating is delicious." Sister Zhu said.

The problem that has plagued Gu Qingzhou for more than a month has finally been put down. Of course, she is in a good mood.

"Shrimp is delicious." Gu Qingzhou said.

Sister-in-law Zhu said, "The young marshal asked to prepare it."

After Gu Qingzhou went home, Si Xingpei didn't come to her again.

Gu Qingzhou was also busy.

She has her own plans.

"Brother, do you have any old newspapers over there?" Gu Qingzhou asked, "It's best to use old newspapers from the grapevine."

Gu Shao was slightly surprised.

"A little bit." Gu Shao said.

Gu Shao likes to collect books, even old newspapers should be neatly arranged in his hands and placed in the cabinets on the bookshelf.

He opened the cabinet and found a large pile of old newspapers.

"...This is nonsense. It's talking about the scandals of celebrities and high-ranking officials. It has no credibility." Gu Shao said, "It's all from the year before last. Last year, my family didn't subscribe to this newspaper. Dad doesn't like it very much."

Gu Qingzhou nodded.

She hugged them all.

"Zhouzhou, why do you want to read old newspapers?" Gu Shao was curious.

Gu Qingzhou perfunctory: "I'll find something."

"What are you looking for?" Gu Shao asked, "Do you want me to help you find it?"

Gu Qingzhou shook his head: "don't worry about brother, I'll go back first."

She didn't even bother to eat, and lay on the pile of old newspapers from morning to night.

When Gu Shao came in, she saw that she had a notebook by her hand, and she copied a lot of things in bits and pieces.

The old newspapers from the previous year have been turned over by Gu Qingzhou.

She was rewarded and got a name.

Gu Qingzhou remembered the name, and went out to take a rickshaw to a newspaper called "Floating World Evening News".

Before coming, Gu Qingzhou deliberately dressed up. She wore a royal blue cheongsam, a mink coat, and a British lady's hat with a wide brim and a black silk net. Inlaid with several small rubies.

She had a big red lip, and the ruby ​​gleamed against her slender jaw.

As soon as she entered the newspaper office, a small editor came up and greeted warmly, "This lady, who are you looking for?"

Gu Qingzhou is dressed like this, with a face net covering half of his face, and he looks like a mature 10-year-old.

She deliberately lowered her voice and asked, "Is Jin Man there?"

Jin Man is the chief writer of the "Floating World Evening News", and his story supports 80% of the sales of the evening news.

Look at this lady, I'm afraid she's here to provide gossip and want to log out.

"I'm here." Xiaobian said, and then shouted to the office inside, "Chief writer, someone is looking for you."

Kim Man is a pseudonym.

What came out was a 37- or 18-year-old man, slightly old, with a scruffy beard, wearing a very old long gown with half torn sleeves.

His hair was messy.

Suddenly seeing this very fashionable wife looking for him, Jin Man rubbed his messy hair and asked, "Madam, are you looking for me?"

"Master Jin, I appreciate your literary talent. I have a little story. I don't know if I can catch your eye?" Gu Qingzhou's voice became deeper, "It's all about my family."

Taking care of Qingzhou's appearance, it should be a new nouveau riche.

New school people, there are so many absurd things that sometimes you want to break the sky, but you can't think of it.

It's a good thing that someone provides material. "Floating World Evening News" is for entertainment, not a serious newspaper. The more exaggerated and novel the story, the more selling point.

"Of course, this lady please come in." Jin Mandao did not see how enthusiastic he was.

Gu Qingzhou said, "Find a teahouse and talk slowly, okay?"

When they got to the private room of the teahouse, Gu Qingzhou found a seat by the window, so that her face was backlit, and Jin Man couldn't see her expression.

The young man brought tea, and Gu Qingzhou began to tell her story.

Her story is very absurd, saying that her stepmother came to live in her house and had a relationship with her husband, and now her husband wants to drive her out and marry her stepmother.

Her stepmother first seduced her husband with her fourteen-year-old stepsister.

"Really?" Jin Man was also stunned, feeling that the story was very exciting.

"Madam, can you tell me some details? This will be more evidence-based, increase credibility, and maybe give you a public opinion." Jin Man said.

Gu Qingzhou looked very depressed.

She lowered her head in silence and turned the tea cup in her hand: "I don't want to fight anymore, this worldly woman can get along even if she is divorced. I want to go to Nanyang to try my luck, maybe I can marry an aboriginal rich man.

I remember you once wrote a story about a famous Hong Kong lady who was sold by her father to a British inspector. She didn't like the old man and fled from Hong Kong to Yuecheng, and later went to the mainland. "

Kim Man remembers the story.

It was also by chance that he met that woman, and he also gave her a travel fee at that time.

The story was very good. He wrote it in three issues. The sales of the last issue increased greatly, three times that of the previous one. The boss was very happy and gave him half a year's salary as a bonus.

"Is that story true?" Gu Qingzhou raised his eyes suddenly and asked.

Her voice was soft and her breath was like blue. Behind the black silk net, a pair of eyes are particularly bright, like a leopard dormant in the dark, inexplicably heart palpitating.

"...Of course it's true!" Jin Man said.

"I don't believe it!" Gu Qingzhou said, "Her father is an official in Hong Kong, and his marriage to her family is also an alley inspector. She left the pier and it is impossible not to find her."

70% of Jin Man's story is true.

He hates people questioning him the most.

"Ma'am, there are too many holes in the pier. It is too easy for a person to escape from the pier." Jin Man said.

"Like Yuecheng, it is extremely difficult to walk alone at the wharf. Is Hong Kong not as good as Yuecheng?" Gu Qingzhou was curious.

Jin Man knew that this wife was a housewife with little knowledge.

Today, I will give her some insight.

"Ma'am, do you know what kind of boat it goes, it's not easy to be checked?" Jin Man lowered his voice.

Gu Qingzhou shook his head.

"Silk." Jin Man said.

Gu Qingzhou deliberately exaggerated and laughed: "Is silk very expensive? Why won't silk be checked?"

"This is a self-evident rule of the sea. Generally, the whole ship is made of silk, which means that there is opium paste hidden in it. Those who dare to smuggle opium will always come to say hello to the above, and the people at the dock will not check carefully." Jin Man's voice was even lower.

"You know everything?" The corner of Gu Qingzhou's lips twitched, inexplicably seductive.

Her words are the greatest affirmation of men.

Jin Man was triumphant and said, "Naturally."

"Is it the most convenient for Yuecheng to travel by water?" Gu Qingzhou asked him.

"No, it's the Chen family." Jin Man said, "The Chen family has something to do with the British. Every time they go to India, they go to India. The military government and the Qing Gang dare not interfere with the Chen family's ships. "

Gu Qingzhou laughed: "I still don't believe it."

Jin Man suddenly realized that he was too showy and said what he shouldn't have said, and hurriedly stopped.

As newspaper people, they know a lot of secret information that cannot be said.

But the opposite is a woman, and she is a very beautiful woman. Jin Man also has the inferiority of a man, and likes to show off in front of women.

He said something he shouldn't have said, and covered with a smile: "I heard it too."

On the way back, Gu Qingzhou sat in the rickshaw and rubbed the lipstick that was on fire, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his lips.

Ship Chen family!

Yuecheng is really a place with hidden dragons and crouching tigers!
