Gu Qingzhou sat alone in the living room.

It was nine o'clock in the evening, and Adjutant Wang, who went out to buy a watch, hadn't come back yet.

In one corner of the dining room, the window is half-open, and the light brown curtains are hung by golden hooks, low and soft, like a lazy and graceful lady standing by the window, expressing new sorrow.

The clear Qionghua dragged the ground like a layer of hoarfrost, and the night was unreasonably cold in the spring.

Soon, Adjutant Wang bought a watch and came back.

"Young madam, the watch you want." Adjutant Wang handed it to her respectfully.

The watch shop also does business at night.

The prosperity of Yuecheng is not lonely because of the night.

"Did you drop my name when you bought the watch?" Gu Qingzhou took it and asked.

Adjutant Wang said: "It's down, it's Si Gu Qingzhou."

When a woman gets married, she must bear her husband's surname. This is a rule passed down from the West. Huaxia also has it, but it will not be written in the law, and women's names are not allowed to be leaked.

Gu Qingzhou's current legal name is "Si Gu Qingzhou". According to the thousands of years of Chinese tradition, she should be called "Si Gu's", and the word "Qingzhou" is a name, and it cannot be spread out of the inner house.

This is the same, but with a specific name. A meager dignity is better than nothing.

She couldn't help but smile.

The watch is housed in a black velvet case, which feels warm and comfortable.

Gu Qingzhou took out the gold watch.

This is Swiss.

Gu Qingzhou has several watches, all of which are Swiss. Si Xingpei gave it, Mrs. Yan and Yan Yiyuan also gave it, but they alone never bought it. Especially Yan Yiyuan, he loves to show off and always buys a lot of gold watches.

In order to treat them equally, he would give them to Yan Luoshui and Huo Zuojing, and naturally he would not forget Gu Qingzhou.

The piece that Gu Qingzhou "lost" was given by Yan Yiyuan.

"...Where did you buy this?" Gu Qingzhou asked Adjutant Wang.

"It's No. 32 Aiwen Road." Adjutant Wang said.

There are many shops in Yuecheng that sell watches, but there are only three that specialize in Swiss goods.

Aiwen Road is located in the concession. There are two shops. Shop No. 32 is more complete, and is favored by many ladies and gentlemen.

Gu Qingzhou took it out and put it on his wrist.

Her wrists are thin and loose.

Adjutant Wang was about to tell her how to tighten it, but saw Gu Qingzhou deliberately took it off and threw it on the ground.

A crisp sound.

Adjutant Wang was surprised, this watch is very expensive, what is the young lady doing?

He was about to pick it up, but Gu Qingzhou moved faster than him, bent down and picked it up again.

"It's okay, it's not broken." Gu Qingzhou smiled, and then tightened the strap seriously.

After a pause, Gu Qingzhou said again, "Adjutant Wang, according to our adjutant's uniform, help me make four sets of army commanders, all of them must be large."

"Yes!" Adjutant Wang was puzzled, but he never questioned the young lady's words.

Since the young lady ordered, he will do it.

What do you want four sets of military uniforms for?

There is so much that can be done, and the more you ask, the more you go wrong.

Adjutant Wang used to be Madam Si's close associate, and he knew how to advance and retreat very well. Of course, since serving as an adjutant to Si Mu, Adjutant Wang has no longer communicated with Mrs. Si.

When Mrs. Si sometimes asks him anything, he only picks up irrelevant answers and never discloses secrets to Mrs. Si.

Simu trusts him very much.

"Go get busy." Gu Qingzhou said.

Adjutant Wang saluted his boots and backed out.

When Sim came back, Gu Qingzhou sat under the lamp and slowly rubbed her watch.

The brand-new gold watch, with warm golden brilliance under the light, fell into Gu Qingzhou's eyes.

Her eyes glittered.

"Who gave the watch?" Sim asked.

Gu Qingzhou smiled and said, "I sent Adjutant Wang to buy it."

After a pause, Gu Qingzhou explained again, "I originally had one, but Dong Ming stole it, so I bought another one."

Simu sat up straight.

"Dong Ming?" Simu was stunned, "What is he doing?"

After all, he looked at Gu Qingzhou again: since he knew Dong Ming took it, why didn't he expose it on the spot? Gu Qingzhou is not the kind of embarrassed person.

"He probably hasn't figured out what he wants to do yet." Gu Qingzhou smiled, "It's just a watch, there are too few things he can do, so I will help him."

Simu's expression relaxed slightly.

Gu Qingzhou knows how to count.

"Are you going to dig a hole?" Sim said.

Gu Qingzhou shook his head: "No, I'm just digging a hole for Dong Ming."

Simu didn't know her plan.

He sat next to him and asked, "How can I help?"

Simu wanted to know. He needs to be clear about Gu Qingzhou's plan so that he can act as a backup. In case Gu Qingzhou failed, he could save her immediately.

He cannot be kept in the dark.

I thought Gu Qingzhou didn't say anything, but when Simu was about to convince her to tell him, Gu Qingzhou had already said, "I'm going to No. 32 Aiwen Road tomorrow..."

She told Simu bit by bit her plan.

At the same time, he said, "I need your help, do you dare?"

Simu's expression was already grim: "Why don't I dare? Don't worry!"

Gu Qingzhou smiled.

For her plan, Simu has no objection, he supports her nonsense very much.

"I hope none of my plans will work." Gu Qingzhou said, and sighed again, "Because I really don't want to kill people."

Simu's eyes were gloomy.

"With me!" Simu said, "I will kill you!"

Gu Qingzhou smiled again.

Simu looked back, just in time to meet her smile.

The smile is very shallow, but there is just the right amount of happiness. His eyes were clear, reflecting Simu's face.

Simu's breath was slightly tight.

Gu Qingzhou stood up: "I'll go back to my room first."

She passed by Simu, who subconsciously reached out and held her: "Qingzhou......"

Gu Qingzhou's face was tense.

Si Mu was bored, let go of his hand again, and said, "Good night."

Gu Qingzhou didn't bother to say good night, and hurried upstairs.

Si Mu sat alone in the living room, smoked two cigars, and then went to bathe and lay down.

The next day, the weather was fine, and the morning light came in through the window lattice and fell all over the floor.

Gu Qingzhou got up.

Simu had already left.

After Gu Qingzhou changed his clothes, he instructed the adjutant to prepare the car: "I'm going to No. 32 Aiwen Road."

When Adjutant Wang heard that it was the place where he bought the watch yesterday, he could not help but look at Gu Qingzhou in surprise.

Gu Qingzhou didn't say anything, and Adjutant Wang didn't ask anything, just walked out respectfully and ordered the driver to prepare the car.

After breakfast, Gu Qingzhou took the two wolves for a walk again. At ten o'clock, the sun was shining warmly on his body, as if he had approved a piece of brocade fur.

Gu Qingzhou took a car to the clock shop at No. 32 Aiwen Road.

Adjutant Wang opened the way first and said that this was the young lady of the military government. The boss had also seen Gu Qingzhou in the newspaper. Hearing this, he immediately greeted him and invited Gu Qingzhou to the private room.

The private room is luxuriously decorated.

".... I just bought it yesterday, and it was dropped. I don't know if it was broken." Gu Qingzhou took off the watch and handed it to the boss.

The boss hurriedly took it over: "Don't worry, I'll call someone to check."

The watch was checked, and the boy brought in the tea again.

Gu Qingzhou chatted with the boss.

"I heard that when you buy a watch here, you need to record it." Gu Qingzhou said.

The boss said hurriedly, "Yes."

Gu Qingzhou frowned: "When is this the rule?"

The boss didn't know what the young lady meant. Since he opened here, he has followed this habit. For such an expensive watch, guests must ensure that they are unique and have traces to follow.

This "trace" is not for oneself to see, but for others to see.

When the young lady asked this, the boss was a little embarrassed, afraid of offending her.

"...I bought one half a year ago, and it doesn't seem to be registered." Gu Qingzhou frowned deeper.

The boss suddenly realized.

Emotions are made up.

Half a year ago, Gu Qingzhou was not the young lady of the governor's mansion, so she might not be able to afford such an expensive watch. However, she needs others to know that her family is also very rich.

The boss heard the sound and hurriedly smiled and said: "I may have gone to stock up half a year ago, and I was not in the store. These people forgot about the importance, **** it!"

Looking at Gu Qingzhou's slightly softened face, the boss said again, "Young Madam, we can make up the registration here. You can send someone to bring the watch over, and I will make it up for you according to the record."

Gu Qingzhou said, "I remember the model and date."

After all, she reported the model of a watch and another date.

The boss went to check.

This watch is not sold in his store. Looking at the serial number, it should be from Hong Kong.

This secret is only known to a few big bosses, and neither does the clerk.

"Get the account book." The boss said to the clerk.

Since it is sold in Hong Kong, I am not afraid of the other party's investigation. Whether it's true or not, it's important to flatter the young lady. The young lady said that she bought it here, and she bought it here.

After the registration, the boss showed it to Gu Qingzhou.

"This trace is different!" Gu Qingzhou frowned slightly when he saw it.

"It's okay, it's okay!" the boss said, "I registered this myself. I rarely do it myself, so it's different from other handwriting."

Gu Qingzhou smiled.

The boss cursed in his heart: "Too vain!"

Obviously I haven't bought it, but I want the boss to forge a record!

However, doing business is to make money with peace, and the boss does not dare to offend the big man, so he has to swallow his anger.

Looking at this record, the smile on Gu Qingzhou's lips deepened.

The boss despised the woman even more: "It's terrifying to be so vain! No wonder she came from a lowly background!"

The smile on his face did not diminish, and he looked down on Gu Qingzhou in his heart.

Gu Qingzhou pretended not to see it, got up and left.

A day later, Adjutant Wang gave the four sets of military uniforms to Gu Qingzhou.

"It's all large, and it's made according to our adjutant's uniform." Adjutant Wang said.

Gu Qingzhou nodded: "Put it in a box and put it in the back seat of the car I often travel, just in case. By the way, tell all the adjutants and let them know that there are four sets of military uniforms in the back seat of my car."

Adjutant Wang was even more suspicious: what is this?

Who are you going to wear these uniforms for?

"If something happens to me, remember to bring these military uniforms, I will use them." Gu Qingzhou said again.

Adjutant Wang was surprised: "Young madam, what's the matter with you?"

Gu Qingzhou waved his hand and stopped talking.

Looking at the young lady's elegant face, Adjutant Wang didn't dare to ask, and just silently ordered her words.

When Sim came back, Gu Qingzhou told him, "My net is ready, I'll wait for the fish to dig into the net!"
