Chapter 40

Passing through the busiest street, wherever Gu Qingyue looked, there were people coming and going, she looked around absent-mindedly, and at the end of her eyes, she saw Cuihuan.

With a hemp rope tied in his hands, his face was bruised and purple, and the wound at the corner of his mouth would ooze blood from time to time. He bent his body and was led forward by someone.

how come?
How could Cuihuan be sold to Ren Yazi?
Shouldn't she go to the capital to find her parents?

When I left, I asked her if I wanted to be with her. She shook her head, and although she was reluctant, she still said firmly: "Ma'am, my parents are in the general's mansion in the capital. I'm not going anywhere. I'm sorry." Madam, don't worry, Cuihuan will only recognize you as Madam in this life."

But how could I see her here.

Gu Qingyue walked towards Renyazi and bought Cuihuan from a man with a big belly.

I haven't seen her for more than a month, and Cuihuan's black hair, which was originally dark and dense, is now dry and frizzy, sticking to her dusty cheeks, like a handful of straw, which will break with a light fold.

"Cuihuan, how did you become like this?"

After all, it was the maid who had been with her for more than ten years. Gu Qingyue couldn't let go of her misfortune.

"Madam..."

As soon as Cuihuan yelled out, tears began to flow, choking uncontrollably, all her grievances had someone to confide in.

Kneeling on the ground, holding Gu Qingyue in her arms and crying for a long time, Cuihuan's mood calmed down a lot, and he said hesitantly: "Ma'am, after you left that day, the general became furious in the mansion, and insisted on leaving to go back to the palace regardless of Missy's health. Beijing."

"Then, then..., the second wife took this opportunity to eradicate dissidents, and wanted to marry the servant... to the steward Wang outside the second door. The servant was unwilling. Afterwards, he escaped a few times, but was arrested and returned. He sold the slave, and he sold the slave as soon as the general left..."

Gu Qingyue remembered that the steward Wang outside the second door was all at the age to be Cuihuan's father, he was lazy and lazy, and every time he looked at people, his triangular eyes looked particularly fierce.

Later, he got into a bad habit of gambling, if it wasn't for seeing him as Yuan Zhengguan's old servant, Gu Qingyue would have sold him as early as when Gu Qingyue came here.

The original partner in front was also mortgaged to the gambling house because he had not paid the gambling debts, so how could he be a good match for Cuihuan.

Gu Qingyue pulled her up from the ground, and wiped her tears with a handkerchief: "Don't cry, don't cry, follow me from now on, and don't call me Da Furen, I am no longer in the general's mansion. Ma'am."

Cuihuan held Gu Qingyue, smiled at her, and stood obediently behind her.

"Thank you, master."

Looking at Cuihuan, Gu Qingyue couldn't help thinking that sister Nian, a person who served her before, could make Liu Yunshan unable to tolerate her, so would something happen to her own daughter?
"Sister Nian..." Gu Qingyue said it unconsciously.

"Master, the eldest lady is still the general's daughter after all, the general will definitely take care of the eldest lady, so don't worry too much." At this time, Cuihuan didn't know that Gu Nian was pretending to be stupid.

Two frustrated people lean on each other to keep each other warm.

Knowing from Cuihuan's mouth that sister Nian was no longer in the old house, and there was no point in going there, Gu Qingyue could only continue to wait.

"Big...Master, is your cough cured? The slave is useless. All the mandala asters planted outside the city were pulled out by Liu Yunshan, and the slave failed to save a single plant."

Gu Qingyue was in a trance and didn't react for a while. Cuihuan waited for a long time before she got her response: "It's nothing serious, I'm relieved, Master... He prescribed medicine for me. I haven't coughed for a long time."

Cuihuan looked relieved, and kept nodding her head: "That's good, that's good, the master is really amazing!"

When Gu Qingyue heard this sentence, she turned her head to look at Cuihuan. She was smiling all over her face and kept praising Master An.

"Yes, Master An is very powerful..."

……

At the beginning of June, the hibiscus bloomed beautifully in the pond outside the city. Cuihuan bought a few branches from the market early in the morning and put them in a vase.

In this small room, there was Gu Qingyue first, then Cuihuan, and many things were added one after another, making it even more warm and comfortable.

Cuihuan looked up at the sky, the sun was slightly drunk, and it shone warmly on the earth, neither strong nor thin, she tugged at Gu Qingyue's sleeve, and suggested: "Master, the sun is just right today, why don't we go outside the city together Let's take a look at Hibiscus."

Zhang Xiaofeng, who was lying on the table, raised his head from the ink-scented rice paper and looked at her expectantly. Although he didn't speak, he wanted to play very strongly.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaofeng was still young, Gu Qingyue originally wanted to send him to a private school, but he just refused to go and insisted on letting Gu Qingyue teach him.

Gu Qingyue knew that he was reluctant to part with those few bundles of repairing silver, so he simply taught at home first.

She looked out of the window, the weather was clear, and she had just finished drawing the outline of Gu Nianxiu's handkerchief, and a naive cat was flapping butterflies.

"Okay, let's go for a walk."

Gu Qingyue put the handkerchief in her hand into the basket beside the bed, Cuihuan helped her arrange her clothes, supported her, and walked out of the courtyard, followed by Zhang Xiaofeng, a little bean.

The weather was fine, and there were many people visiting outside the city. Cuihuan took a small basket from the rented carriage, which contained pastries and tea she had prepared.

After all, Gu Qingyue had been pampered and pampered for many years, her physical fitness was not as good as before, and she fell ill again. After walking a few steps, she panted heavily from exhaustion, and supported Cuihuan to sit down on a low stool beside her.

Looking from a distance, the slim hibiscus blooms in various poses, and the green lotus leaves spread to the deeper depths.

The little girl in bright clothes is having fun by the pond, cheering and jumping, reflecting the hibiscus in the pond, the pink is delicate, the green is quiet, a scene full of vitality.

While admiring the beautiful scenery, someone came towards her. It was a young man wearing a blue gown, his hair was pulled up high, and a jade pendant for swimming fish and water was hanging on his waist.

Gu Qingyue stared intently at the jade pendant on the man's waist. She recognized that it was a jade pendant polished by her father when she was at the border. It was the only one among her many dowries and her favorite thing.

Later, when Sister Nian was born, Gu Qingyue gave it to her again.

The man stood still in front of her, lifted his robe, knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said: "I don't know that my wife is Gu's Qingyue, and Xiaosheng Gu Chuhe is the third generation descendant of Gu's No. 20."

Gu Nian didn't even think about it, and said a name that surprised him, Chuhe, Chuhe... How long has it been since he thought of him?

I'm afraid he has forgotten himself...

Gu Nian was only sad for a moment, and then returned to the original state.

He raised his head, his facial features were regular, and he looked a little immature, but he was tall and tall, extremely elegant, and his voice was indistinguishable from male and female, but from the appearance of his clothes, he was a weak and elegant man.

Gu Qingyue looked at her carefully, pulled her up from the ground, nodded and said, "Exactly."

After the man heard the words, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes, Qi Qi said: "Auntie, Xiaosheng is your nephew. When his father passed away, he asked Xiaosheng to come to Cangzhou to find you. Thank you for the blessing of God. Now I really found you."

With a voice that no one heard, whispered in Gu Qingyue's ear: "Mom, I'm back."

After hearing this, Gu Qingyue also cried, "It's good to be back, it's good to be back..."
