Uncle Jiang was sent away by Gu Qingjue, and he called a girl to wait on him. He quickly went to the kitchen and ordered someone to boil water.
Gu Qingjue did not go to the study immediately, but went to their bedroom first.
Gu Qingjue walked around the bedroom full of tenderness.
He had no intention of resting in the bedroom. He wanted to wait for her to come back and then move in together.
After walking around in a circle, Gu Qingjue went to the study on the right.
At this time, the hot water was boiled, and the maid came over with the hot water, but was stopped by Sanqi: "Just give me the water. If there is nothing here, you can go back and rest."
Xi Qiu bit his lip: "Uncle Jiang asked me to serve the master."
"No need to wait here."
"But, the head of the family has just come back, and there is no one around to take care of him."
Sanqi frowned and looked at Xi Qiu: "The master of the house has always been with me, and you are not needed here."
Xi Qiu's round eyes were filled with mist. As soon as he closed his eyes and lowered his head, big tears fell down, and he started sobbing when he finished.
Sanqi: "..."
He really didn't do anything.
Why are you crying now?
He has indeed taken care of the head of the family for so many years, and he didn't make up any nonsense.
Gu Qingjue wanted Sanqi to come in and grind, but when he heard the noise outside the door, he frowned: "Sanqi, come in."
Sanqi breathed a sigh of relief, opened the door and went in.
Unexpectedly, before Sanqi could close the door, Xi Qiu came in with water.
"Master, my servant will fetch you water to wash yourself."
Gu Qingjue sat in front of the desk, looking sideways at Xi Qiu who followed Sanqi in: "Put it down. There is no need to come to this yard from now on."
After saying that, he motioned Sanqi to come over and grind.
Xi Qiu doesn't understand why the head of the house is so cold. She is the most beautiful maid in the entire Su family. Now that the mistress is gone and the head of the house is young and alone, shouldn't there be a maid to take care of her?
"Master, Xi Qiu can also grind. It is better to let Xi Qiu serve in the study than to be a guard with thick feet and clumsy hands."
Gu Qingjue put down his pen and sneered. This time he looked at Xi Qiu seriously.
Xi Qiu held the water and lowered his head shyly.
"The head of the family."
Xi Qiu lowered his head, and felt that the head of the family was really as handsome as jade, with a noble temperament, and a girl's heart was beating fast.
With the owner of the house looking like him, even if I could only add fragrance to his red sleeves in the study, I would be willing to do so.
"Sanqi, go and call Uncle Jiang."
Sanqi followed the order and went out quickly. Xi Qiu thought that the head of the house was just letting Sanqi go as a pretense to prevent others from disturbing them.
To be a slave, you have to be discerning.
Now that the guard named Sanqi was not here, he couldn't let the head of the family take the initiative to greet him, so he took the initiative to put the water on the small coffee table aside, and planned to step forward to grind it for Gu Qingjue.
"stop!"
Unexpectedly, she was stopped as soon as she took a step.
"Master, Sanqi is not here, my servant will help you grind it."
Gu Qingjue said nothing and closed his eyes not wanting to look at this idiot again.
Sanqi was very fast and brought Uncle Jiang in less than half a quarter of an hour. Uncle Jiang panted and looked at the head of the family who had his eyes closed to rest, and then looked at Xi Qiu who was standing there with a wronged look on his face.
I don’t know what just happened.
"Master, please call the old servant here. What are your orders?"
"Did she sell herself into the government?"
Although the head of the house did not look at Xi Qiu, Uncle Jiang knew immediately that the head of the house was talking about her.
"Yes, the contract of betrayal is in Madam Bai's hands."
"Well, sell her overnight, as far away as possible!"
Xi Qiu stood aside and heard the head of the family talking about the deed of selling her body. She was so happy that he wanted to redeem her life, but she never thought that the head of the family wanted to sell her.
This huge psychological gap caused Xi Qiu's mentality to collapse instantly.
She looked at Gu Qingjue in disbelief: "Master, what did Xi Qiu do wrong? Why did he sell his slaves?"
Gu Qingjue was too lazy to explain. With a wave of his hand, two people suddenly flew out of the darkness and dragged the crying Xi Qiu out of the study.
"Uncle Jiang, from now on, no one is allowed to enter this yard except me and Sanqi before my wife comes back. Do you understand?"
Uncle Jiang nodded hurriedly.
"clear."
Uncle Jiang stood up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and walked out of the main courtyard shaking his thighs that were a little sore from running just now.
Only now did he understand that when the head of the family said he wouldn't be served, he really didn't want others to serve him.
Sighing, Uncle Jiang asked two boys to carry Xi Qiu, who was unconscious outside the yard, to the flower hall in the front yard, and then ordered a boy to go to Bai Mansion overnight to get Xi Qiu's deed of prostitution.
Luo Shi took off her hairpin and was about to go to sleep when the maid came in and reported: "Madam, someone from the Su Mansion is here."
"Su Mansion? Is Girl Xin back?"
"No, it was a young boy who came over. He said that the master of the house was returning to the house today and sent him to get Xi Qiu's deed of prostitution."
Luo Shi's hand that was picking up the earrings paused, and his butt moved outward.
Gu Qingjue has come to Kyoto. When he first came to Kyoto, he asked for a maid's bond of sale. Could it be that this maid climbed into bed successfully while Girl Xin was away, and Gu Qingjue wanted to redeem her body?
The more Luo Shi thought about it, the angrier she became and asked the maid to dress her up again.
She also asked the housekeeper to hitch the horse, and she wanted to go to the Su Mansion in person. Before the girl Xin came back, she sent away the little goblin who climbed on the bed, so as not to cause trouble to the girl.
Even if there was no curfew in Kyoto, there would be few carriages on the road as midnight approached.
Bai Yuannian went out to discuss business. He had not been in Kyoto for the past few days, so Luo Shi came to the Su Mansion in a hurry with two guards.
"Why did aunt come here in person?"
Gu Qingjue was a little surprised to hear that Luo Shi came in person.
He asked the butler to sell the goods overnight, knowing that the butler would need to go to the White Mansion to get the deed of sale, which would definitely alarm Luo Shi. Luo Shi was so smart, he must have known that he was going to sell the deed to deal with the maids in the mansion.
It's okay to say that he is shrewd and calculating.
He just wanted to use Luo Shi's words to tell Yixin that he wanted to give her a sufficient sense of security.
Gu Qingjue believes that love requires 'calculation'.
But he didn't know that Luo Shi would come over by himself in the middle of the night.
Thinking that it was what he thought, Luo Shi's attitude towards Gu Qingjue was not as good as usual: "Why, Miss Xin is not here, you don't welcome Auntie?"
"Auntie has misunderstood, please take a seat."
Luo Shi only had a good relationship with Yixin and unilaterally accepted Yixin as his daughter-in-law, but Yixin did not object.
But he was not that familiar with Gu Qingjue.
It's not good to give any face at all.
Yiyan sat down on the right side of Gu Qingjue and asked, "Why do you want a maid's bond of sale in the middle of the night?"
Gu Qingjue looked at Uncle Jiang, who immediately understood: "Back to Madam, it was Xi Qiu who broke the rules of the house. The master asked the old servant to sell Xi Qiu overnight, which alarmed the Madam. It was the old servant who was not thinking well. "
Roche: "..."
Not climbing on the bed?
Oh, no, looking at Xi Qiu's appearance, he must have attempted to climb out of bed and angered Gu Qingjue, so he was dealt with overnight.
There is one more chapter in the evening, it will be early today.
