Chapter 14: beat up
The dance was not over yet, and the commander-in-chief invited Gu Qingzhou to the side hall.
The side hall is very large, covered with a thick cashmere carpet, and silent; a complete set of Italian furniture, there are two maps on the wall: a map of China, a map of the world.
On the southwest wall is a row of bookshelves, full of books of various colors, neatly arranged; at the end of the bookshelf, is a carved assorted partition, full of various knives.
Gu Qingzhou's eyes fell on those knives, a little yearning.
"Qingzhou, take a seat." The commander-in-chief said kindly. He looked a little serious, probably to take care of Gu Qingzhou's feelings, and to be a little more enthusiastic on purpose.
Gu Qingzhou thanked him.
Mrs. Si and Si Qiongzhi also came in, and a few people sat down. The servant brought a cup of English-style black tea to Gu Qingzhou. Milk was added to the fragrant tea, which was even more mellow.
Gu Qingzhou took a sip, his eyes narrowed slightly, like a kitten.
Mrs. Si drank water, Si Qiongzhi drank hot cocoa, and Si Dujun drank a cup of Mingqian Longjing.
"How have you been in the country all these years?" the commander-in-chief asked.
"I was taken to the countryside by my wet nurse when I was two years old. I have to say that the countryside is my mulberry land. Even if my hometown is dilapidated and poor, it is the most beautiful in the hearts of wanderers." Gu Qingzhou said.
The commander-in-chief heard these words, and his eyes lit up: "That's right, you are quite knowledgeable, it's not bad."
He has already said that Gu Qingzhou is "not bad", and Mrs. Si's face is even more ugly.
Mrs. Si arranged the Vienna waltz to make Gu Qingzhou embarrassed. As a result, Gu Qingzhou was outstanding, and the commander-in-chief was more satisfied with her.
Stealing chickens will not lose rice.
The commander-in-chief didn't know why Gu Qingzhou entered the city, and asked her again, "Why did you come back to the city recently?"
Mrs. Si looked slightly tight.
Gu Qingzhou glanced at Mrs. Gu, then lowered her eyes, silently smiling but not answering.
Why come to the city? Mrs. Si will pick her up to retire.
But Gu Qingzhou wouldn't take the initiative to say it.
So Mrs. Si answered for Gu Qingzhou, "it's her father who misses her, so she came back."
"Yeah." Gu Qingzhou agreed.
The commander-in-chief said some more homely things, and told her to come to the warden's mansion often to play and wait, and said, "It's getting late today, and the dance party is about to end, so I'll come back for dinner another day."
Gu Qingzhou said yes.
Mrs. Si and Si Qiongzhi sent Gu Qingzhou off.
Si Qiongzhi grabbed Gu Qingzhou's arm warmly and asked, "Sister Gu, where did you learn your dance steps? You dance really well."
"At home yesterday, my elder sister taught me that she can dance better." Gu Qingzhou said.
Si Qiongzhi's heart tightened and he said, "Really?"
"Really." Gu Qingzhou said.
Si Qiongzhi remembered that Gu Qingzhou also has a sister, who is also very powerful.
After coming out of the side hall, Mrs. Si saw Qin Zhengzheng and Gu Huang, and Si Qiongzhi looked at Gu Huang with all her might, making Gu Huang puzzled.
"I'll send someone to take you back." Mrs. Si said with a smile, "This is the end of the day. I've been treated lightly tonight, please forgive me."
"Don't bother, ma'am." Qin Zhengzheng smiled reluctantly, "I just called, and the master will pick us up in a while."
Gu Zhang looked haggard and sat on the cold bench all night, and the commander-in-chief told them in front of everyone in Yuecheng that Gu Qingzhou, the most showy woman tonight, was the young marshal's fiancee.
Gu Zhang's ideal of marrying into a wealthy family was temporarily shattered, and she was disheartened.
Probably because he was too lost, and his heart was a little crazy, Gu Zhang asked Mrs. Si, "Why didn't you see the young marshal at such a big ball? Why didn't he come to meet his fiancee in person?"
On a normal day, Mrs. Si would have no feeling when she heard this, but Mrs. Si had just received the news of the disappearance of the young marshal, and she was in a panic. Gu Xiang's words hit seven inches, and Mrs. Si almost had a seizure.
It was Si Qiongzhi, who held her mother's hand tightly, making Madam Si come back to her senses and preventing her gaffe.
Si Qiongzhi smiled and said to Gu Hao: "My second brother has been very busy these days. Miss Gu may not know that our Si family is an old-fashioned family, and marriage pays attention to the words of the matchmaker, as long as my parents are present. , what does it matter if my brother is not here?"
This is to say that the big family has the superiority and the inferiority, but Gu Xiang, the small family, does not know the importance.
Gu Xiang seemed to have been slapped in the face, and his face was even more ugly.
Qin Zhengzheng also felt ashamed of Gu Xiang.
Gu Qingzhou stood quietly beside them, looking at them as if watching a play, and never said a word.
Just as he was talking, the adjutant at the door came in and informed him that Gu Guizhang's car was arriving, should he let him go.
Qin Zhengzheng breathed a sigh of relief.
When Madam Si was about to say something, Qin Zhengzheng said, "No need for Madam, we are about to say goodbye."
Gu Qingzhou greeted Mrs. Si and Si Qiongzhi, and left the luxurious hall of the Governor's Mansion with her stepmother and sister.
Mrs. Si stood under the eaves, half an inch of shadow covered her, her smile was a little dark.
Just after leaving the gate of the Governor's Mansion and before reaching the parking lot, Gu Qingzhou suddenly grabbed Gu Zhang's left hand - the one that was twisted by Gu Qingzhou.
After Gu Qingzhou grabbed Gu Zhang's left hand, he pushed it hard.
She moves quickly.
The whistle of the car obscured the movement. Gu Xiang only felt another pain in his wrist, and said angrily, "What are you doing, why are you grabbing my hand?"
Her voice was so loud that it reached Madam Si and Si Qiongzhi's ears.
Gu Qingzhou's sister doesn't like her.
Mrs. Si and Si Qiongzhi smiled, it was actually easy to deal with Gu Qingzhou.
To kill with a knife, Gu Qingzhou's sister and stepmother are ready-made knives, which are very useful.
"I don't do anything." Gu Qingzhou was yelled at by Gu Zhang and let go of her hand, "I just want to see if your hand still hurts."
Gu Huang was furious, and instead wanted to slap Gu Qingzhou.
Seeing his father's car parked in front of him, Gu Zhang didn't dare.
Knowing her father, Gu Zhang is the one who prefers to be soft and not hard, and how much affection does her father have for Gu Qingzhou? Just pity her.
Gu Zhang firmly believed that her father loved her more, so she put away her ferocity and walked to her father softly, her eyes tearing.
Among the sons and daughters, Gu Guizhang loves Gu Zhang the most. Although he scolded Gu Zhang when he went out today, he regretted it later.
Seeing Gu Huang's grievances and tears, Gu Guizhang hurriedly asked with concern, "What happened to Gu Huang?"
"Abba, Qingzhou she was afraid that I would steal her limelight, so she twisted my hand." Tears welled up in Gu Zhang's eyes.
Saying that, she stretched out her left hand in front of Gu Guizhang.
That hand had no strength at all.
Gu Zhang cried pitifully, Gu Guizhang was very distressed, and looked back at Gu Qingzhou angrily: "You twisted your sister's hand?"
She is so cruel, she looks like her biological mother, Sun Qiluo!
Is her innocence all disguised?
Qin Zhengzheng hurriedly said: "Master, don't be angry, Qingzhou is still a child, she is a little naughty, we will teach her well in the future."
Her remarks seemed to help Gu Qingzhou, but in fact, she was flattering and killing, making Gu Guizhang convicted of Gu Qingzhou's guilt.
Gu Guizhang was even more angry.
"Dad, I didn't sprain my sister's hand. When she pinched me, she hurt her hand." Gu Qingzhou explained cowardly.
"Abba, my hand is really broken. When she twisted it, I heard a clicking sound." Gu Zhang cried even harder.
Qin Zhengzheng said, "Sir, send Hang Hang to the hospital to get his bones first. Don't delay the child."
Qin Zhengzheng didn't want to waste his words, and when he arrived at the hospital, when Gu Hao took over, how could Gu Qingzhou make a sophistry!
When the evidence is conclusive, clean up her again.
