Gu Qingzhou asked about Bora, and started to prepare.

"You don't move, leave everything else to me." Gu Qingzhou told her, "Remember, don't act rashly, otherwise it will be a disservice, understand?"

The third aunt nodded hurriedly.

Gu Qingzhou was satisfied, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his lips, as beautiful as the beginning of a light lotus blossom.

The third concubine has always admired Gu Qingzhou's wisdom, and she did not dare to intervene, and even pretended to be nothing, waiting for Gu Qingzhou to plan for her.

The maid Miao'er was very concerned: "Did Miss Qingzhou say when can I ask Baolai's whereabouts?"

In the past few years, Susu and Miao'er have inquired everywhere, but still could not find any trace of Bora. They were about to despair, so they had to pin their weak hopes on Gu Qingzhou.

"She didn't say it." Mrs. Sanyi said, "Qingzhou is smart, she can do it well."

"I don't believe others, but I don't doubt what Miss Qingzhou said." Miao'er nodded quickly, "She said that if she can find Bora, she can."

The third concubine was a little silent.

Miao'er asked her, "sister, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm thinking about the second concubine." The third concubine replied, "I didn't expect that she would dare to run away. Tell me, why did Qingzhou arrange for the second concubine to escape?"

Miao'er thought for a while: "Perhaps I don't want the second aunt to be too annoying?"

"Second concubine obeys Qingzhou's words, what can she get in the way? Besides, this matter has been unreasonable from the beginning!" Third concubine pondered.

Miao'er said: "Maybe, this is the result that Miss Qingzhou wants? It's unreasonable, so it won't attract attention and suspicion, and it will have unexpected effects."

The third aunt was too startled.

Although it was absurd, the third concubine felt that Miao'er's words might be on the point.

"Miao'er, I didn't expect you to be so talented!" The third aunt was surprised.

With such a joy, the depression in my heart went away by three points, and my mood finally improved.

Miao'er blushed slightly: "I'm just guessing. Who knows what Miss Qingzhou's plan is? If I had her ability, I wouldn't be a servant."

The master and servant laughed.

The more the third aunt thought about it, the more she felt that Miao'er's words made sense: if you attack him by surprise, you will get twice the result with half the effort.

Gu Qingzhou said that with some old methods, Gu Guizhang could tell secrets, she did not exaggerate.

"Do you know why I can't find out even the slightest bit of news?" Gu Qingzhou analyzed it to the third concubine, "This matter must be handled by the master alone, and he has hidden everything."

The third aunt was in tears, and the pain was almost dripping with blood.

"I hurt Bora." The third aunt cried bitterly while suppressing her throat.

Gu Qingzhou patted her on the shoulder: "It's obviously the murderer's fault, why do you want to involve yourself?"

In early August, it rained heavily at night. The rain poured down and almost washed away the road, and the trees in the courtyard were smashed by the wind and rain.

The temperature has dropped, and the heat is no longer there.

When it was windy and rainy, Gu Qingzhou hadn't slept yet. She was silently planning something in her mind.

After three o'clock in the morning, after the rain gradually stopped, Gu Qingzhou went out.

She did not leave Gu Mansion, but went to the backyard.

"The backyard wall was knocked down by the wind, and it should be repaired." When he got up early, the steward told Gu Guizhang.

It was Gu Qingzhou who pushed it himself.

Gu Guizhang wanted to tell the second concubine to do it, but in a blink of an eye he found that the second concubine had been gone for many days. His anger has passed, leaving only endless loneliness.

This incident was still a blow to Gu Guizhang.

The second aunt abandoned him and ruined his dignity as a man.

Without this dignity, he suddenly slumped.

"Dad, I'll deal with it, you still go to the yamen." Gu Qingzhou said.

She is willing to take on housework.

Gu Guizhang said, "Alright."

The rest of the concubines are not good enough, only Gu Qingzhou has a little ability.

After Gu Guizhang left, Gu Qingzhou arranged for someone to repair the backyard.

She hired a mason.

As a result, the mason came the next day and injured his hand.

Gu Qingzhou was at a loss.

"What's going on at home recently?" Gu Qingzhou took advantage of the topic and said to Gu Guizhang, "The craftsman did a good job, but he actually smashed his hand. He has to rest for at least half a month to recover."

Gu Guizhang listened, deeply feeling that this was unlucky, and said displeased: "Isn't it common to hurt your hand while working? Just change to another worker!"

Gu Qingzhou immediately fell silent.

Several concubines looked at Gu Qingzhou.

Gu Qingzhou went to the back door and gave the mason fifty yuan.

"Miss, you are too generous!"

Gu Qingzhou's face was white, her cheeks were rosy, like blooming peach cores, she seemed gentle, but she spoke with a solemn awe: "Your hand is only slightly injured, and it will heal after half a month's rest. Remember, this half Don't work hard, or you will suffer from illness in the future. I gave you a year's wages, and I took over the hand for you. If you don't listen to the instructions and can't do things in the future, it has nothing to do with me. "

"Don't dare!" said the worker.

After sending the man away, Gu Qingzhou asked the steward to find a craftsman again and repair the backyard.

At the same time, Gu Qingzhou went to the smoke shop, still looking for Mr. Xi Jiu.

She gave Xijiu money and asked Master Xijiu to help her with one thing.

After this matter was arranged, Gu Qingzhou went home.

After returning, Gu Qingzhou said to the family: "Everyone, be careful, the master may be in a bad mood, especially Lian'er and Gu Yun, don't go downstairs."

The fourth aunt was too surprised: "What's wrong with the master?"

The third concubine kept calm, knowing that Gu Qingzhou was starting to toss.

"It's nothing, he wasn't very happy when he left in the morning." Gu Qingzhou smiled.

The fourth concubine slandered: You didn't cause it? You have to say something unfortunate and annoy the master.

The fourth concubine felt that Gu Qingzhou's cleverness was gone, and she actually said such stupid things. Either she was deliberately annoying the master, or she was in a daze.

Raising a child requires a lot of energy, and the fourth concubine doesn't want to care about Gu Guizhang anymore, so she immediately coaxes the child and doesn't allow Lian'er to go downstairs.

At dusk, the golden setting sun falls on the curtains, and the mess in the courtyard has been cleaned up, but the floor is full of fallen leaves, like a layer of brocade.

The weather was cool and pleasant, and everyone was in a good mood.

Gu Qingzhou was playing with a bottle of roses in the living room, which she bought newly.

Gu Guizhang came back angrily.

When he came back, he lost his temper.

Everyone in the family held their breaths.

Gu Qingzhou also stood beside him angrily, not daring to speak.

"Miss Qingzhou is about to compete with the gods!" The fourth aunt was so surprised and worried that she hugged the children tightly without making a sound.

The third aunt is also curious.

Although she knew that Gu Qingzhou had provoked Gu Guizhang, the third concubine didn't know what Gu Qingzhou had done, which made Gu Guizhang full of anger when she came back.

The third concubine knew it was a stratagem, she was very curious, and wanted to see what was going on.

The maid Miao'er is also very gossip: "sister, how did you think Miss Qingzhou angered the master?"

The third aunt doesn't know too much.

"What's the use of her constantly angering the master?" Miao'er asked again.

The third aunt shook her head again.

This matter has something to do with the third concubine and Miao'er, but they are in the dark.

"Qingzhou said that she will use a very old-fashioned method." The third aunt thought for a while, "What exactly is this method?"

Miao'er suddenly began to doubt life: "Don't we think of the method that Miss Qingzhou thinks is useless? Are our brains rusted?"

The third concubine should be sad and worried, but she was amused by Miao'er's words: "It's hard to tell others, your brain must be rusty."

Having said that, the third concubine and the fourth concubine are still curious why the master is so angry today.

Now it is the fifth concubine who is favored.

Soon, the fifth concubine spread the news: "Master committed a villain today."

The specifics are as follows: since Gu Guizhang's nemesis Chen Heng left the customs yamen, a new deputy chief, surnamed Hu, has entered.

That Hu Chongchang was young and promising, his wife died in his thirties, and now he has a girlfriend.

Hu Cichang's girlfriend went to the yamen to deliver lunch to Hu Cichang, wearing a soft silk cheongsam with long legs and crisp breasts, everyone was watching.

Gu Guizhang came back from eating out and met this young lady at the door.

She smiled gracefully, and Gu Guizhang didn't know why she was slightly fond of him, so he laughed along with him.

Hu Cichang watched from behind, his face was not good.

Today, a group of students in the yamen came to investigate, and they said they wanted to write an article. A group of people went out laughing and chatting. Gu Guizhang stepped back and bumped into this young lady.

At that time, this young lady was eight battles away from Gu Guizhang, and he didn't know how she got here.

Accidentally, her elbow touched her chest.

The young lady was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears and said, "How can you be light on me?"

Vice-Chan Hu immediately exploded.

The woman's cries and insults and Hu's angry roar immediately attracted everyone's attention. Some of the students were still carrying cameras, ready to take pictures.

Gu Guizhang was furious.

Secretary Hu was grabbing to beat him, but Secretary Hu's girlfriend said that he had taken advantage of him, and the students pointed at him.

In the end, there was a commotion, and the chief was also alarmed.

"...Old Gu, you are getting old too. There are several women in the family, big and small. You can't do this!"

Gu Guizhang explained hard: "I didn't bump into her."

"It's alright, alright." The chief was impatient. "You are also an old man from the yamen, so I won't say more. Go back, Lao Gu, and give you three days off."

Gu Guizhang, the first is good face, the second is the future.

With such a commotion, he lost all face, and molested his colleague's girlfriend in broad daylight, what did he become? The second is the boss's criticism, and he will lose his chance for promotion in the future.

"It must be a trick of the surnamed Hu, to get a dusty girl over to frame my reputation!" After Gu Guizhang went back, he felt that he had been tricked by Second Chief Hu.

In short, he lost all face.

After hearing this, the third concubine secretly went to Gu Qingzhou.

"Qingzhou, have you participated in this matter?" Mrs. Auntie asked.

Gu Qingzhou nodded: "Well."

"But, what does this have to do with Bora?" the third concubine asked again.

Gu Qingzhou smiled and said, "I'm casting a net. When I catch a fish, you'll know whether it's useful or not."

She was very determined.

With a bit of trust and a bit of unease, the third auntie went out first.
