Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 8 Life of a Beggar
"That person must have great power..."

After she finished speaking, Sun Tiancang said "ah", "By the way, when I was on the street, I heard that Hezhi County was promoted, and it was said that he was promoted to be the magistrate of Jinan Prefecture!"

"Promotion?" Gu Sixiao was shocked.

There was a major case that shocked the government and the public under the rule. As a parent of a county, He Anshi was lucky not to be dismissed. How could he still be promoted?Not only was he promoted, but he became the prefect of Jinan half a month after his elder brother was executed.

"It's that person..."

Although he doesn't understand the political affairs of the DPRK and China, how can it be so easy for officials to be promoted.Moreover, within such a short period of time.She couldn't think of any more reasonable reason than that there was a mastermind behind the scenes.

Zhang Chunhua was raped and murdered, Gu Liubai was beheaded, and He Anshi was suddenly promoted—she was killed...

All these incidents have the same dark shadow of evil hidden behind the scenes.

That person is really as rich and powerful as she guessed, and he can even accept a senior official from the fourth rank at will...

The body was cold, and Gu Sixiao's heart was cold.

He Zhixian was bought by the powerful, so he was so anxious to finalize the case, what about the eldest brother?

Suddenly, she somewhat understood why her eldest brother refused to say that person's name.

That murderer, with such power, might have secretly contacted the eldest brother, and even threatened him not to reveal his name.Thinking about Hezhi County, and then thinking about her tragic death, then why her elder brother Gu Liubai refused to name that person, the answer is ready to come out.

Eldest brother, he would rather sacrifice himself to protect her and the family members.It's a pity that at that time, she didn't realize the painstaking efforts of her elder brother. She was only angry with his elder brother for being stubborn and ruining the reputation of the Gu family's century-old innocence. Regardless of obstacles, she wanted to find the murderer and return her elder brother and the Gu family's innocence.

But thinking about it now, she only felt full of sadness.Big brother must have been in pain at that time, right?

The reputation and business of the Gu family are not as important to him as the safety of his family, right?For this, she would rather sacrifice herself...

"Perhaps, I shouldn't have been so stubborn to find out..." The truth.

After a pause, he looked up at Sun Tiancang who was puzzled, and smiled wryly.

Do you regret it?Because her stubbornness brought about death, she led herself to a dead end that was the opposite of what her elder brother expected.Have you?That moment, but only a moment.

Everyone said that Gu Sixiao was a gentle and gentle woman, but the woman who was praised for being virtuous and dignified was dead.Live a new life, she will not live in such a chaotic way.

"Tiancang, do you know? The name of a person is a kind of sustenance, a kind of expectation... My elder brother is called Liu Bai, because my father hopes that he can be a man like a painter, leaving room for him, not just for himself , even others. And I, the word Si Xiao, wants me to think twice and understand things—"

Whispering, although the young man who was listening was still confused, Gu Sixiao smiled, "But some people, just want to do it more times, they still have to do it!"

Although she didn't know what the result would be, since she had already made a decision, she would never regret it, and there was no room for her to regret it.

Suddenly, she felt that it was a good thing for her sister-in-law to leave Songjiang with her nephew. Before, she felt that she was the only one left alone, but now she felt that at least she could not worry about their safety for the time being.

"Tiancang, you said before that someone is already repairing the Gu family's old house, right?" I don't know which family bought the Gu family's old house and changed the owner. Will the dog hole be closed? When she thinks about it, she wants to go in again...

"It's still the Gu family..." Sun Tiancang scratched his hair, seemingly hesitant, but finally said: "I heard that the person who bought the old house of the Gu family was also named Gu, who was Dong Gu, and it seems to be your uncle. !"

"People from Donggu?" Gu Sixiao was a little surprised.

The so-called looking around is a joke in Songjiang Prefecture.Xi Gu is the branch of Shan Wang, who has always lived in the west of the city, while Dong Gu lives in the east of the city.Although it is from the same family, it is almost out of five servers.

I heard that Dong Gu passed on his poems and books to his family. Although he was the same great-great-great-grandfather, he always disliked Xi Gu for becoming a craftsman, and his relationship was not considered close.

I didn't expect to reach out to help my sister-in-law today.

"Fortunately, it's my family, otherwise the house would be sold in such a hurry, and the price would definitely be suppressed..."

Before Gu Sixiao finished speaking, Sun Tiancang had already curled his lips and said, "It is said that Dong Gu bought that old house for only 100 taels!"

"100 taels?!" Gu Sixiao was really surprised. Although the old house has been around for five or sixty years, but with such an area and such a garden, it is considered one of the best houses in Songjiang Mansion, not to mention worth five. , 60 taels, at least it can be sold for more than 6000 taels, how can it be sold for 2000 taels.

Sun Tiancang could also see that Gu Sixiao was angry, but after he had said everything, he could only bite the bullet and said: "It seems that people from Donggu said that Mr. Gu is a criminal who violated the laws of the country and cannot be buried in the Gu family's ancestral grave. That's why..."

Break the law?sinner?Dong Gu's people used this excuse to blackmail her old house? ! 100 taels!

Closing his eyes, Gu Sixiao smiled angrily.

Why are you angry?After dying once, she has seen everything, no matter how evil people and things are, she will not be angry anymore.

"Tiancang, I'll go out with you tomorrow." Before Sun Tiancang stopped her, Gu Sixiao said with a faint smile, "I can't just lie at home and do nothing, right?"

Sun Tiancang, who wanted to speak at first, looked at Gu Sixiao's smiling face, but for some reason, he couldn't say anything against it.

After thinking about it, he patted his head and didn't speak, just nodded heavily.

The one in front of her is really not his little sister girl, but from the tone of her voice, she looks more like an older sister - but that's true, the little lady of the Gu family is really older than him, right?

Looking at the familiar face, he remembered the gentle face he had seen that stormy night.Although he was embarrassed, the woman who gave the umbrella in the rainy night was still so beautiful, and he always remembered it in his heart.

Who would have thought that such a beautiful woman would be with him, a little beggar?The girl and the young lady of the Gu family, two irrelevant people, unexpectedly encountered misfortune on that stormy night, and thus became one person.Sometimes I think about it, God is really strange, why is it arranged like this?
Holding the rough pottery bowl with a hole missing, Sun Tiancang silently looked at the girl who was walking in front of him, feeling an indescribable strange feeling in his heart.

She suddenly became a beggar, how does she feel now?
Although the clothes on his body were full of patches, they were washed intentionally and flattened with a wooden plank. His face and hands were also washed clean before he went out.

She loves to be clean so much, but she has become a little beggar...

Gu Sixiao, who was walking in front, noticed the gaze from behind, turned her head, looked at Sun Tiancang, raised her eyebrows, and was about to speak, but a woman with full hair and emerald eyes twisted her waist and walked past her.

Sun Tiancang, who was looking at her, immediately turned his eyes away, met the woman, and leaned forward with a smile on his face, "Beautiful lady, please do me a favor, let's eat!"

Pretty lady? !
Gu Sixiao's eyes widened, looking at the woman stopped by Sun Tiancang, she almost choked.

Although she is dressed decently, this woman's face can't be called beautiful, she has broom eyebrows and green eyes, her face is thickly smeared with two or two layers of rouge, and the rouge on her mouth is so red Scary, with a mouth full of yellow teeth showing, it can scare a child into crying, not to mention, just the greasy fragrance from far away can make people stumble.

But for such a woman, Sun Tiancang seemed to see Chang'e coming down to earth, saying a series of pleasant things, and the expression on his face was even more...

"Miss looks proud, there must be something good going on today—thank you, thank you, madam..." Holding the bowl, Sun Tiancang kept bending down, and only straightened up when the woman was far away.

Turning his head and meeting Gu Sixiao's eyes, he scratched his head, turned his face away, and didn't explain anything, as long as he came to her side, he whispered: "It's better not to come out with me... "

Opening her mouth, Gu Sixiao wanted to say something, but Sun Tiancang had already walked away, relying on a man, saying good things one after another.

The man was annoyed by the talk, and pushed him with his hands. Gu Sixiao saw Sun Tiancang fell to the ground and was about to run over, but saw Sun Tiancang hugging the man's thigh and crying loudly.

"You beat someone to death! You beat someone to death—a senior official, the little one is just begging for money to buy a steamed bun to eat. Your hometown has a big business, so let's reward the little one for a bite..."

The man was angry and embarrassed, seeing people around him, he couldn't get entangled with Sun Tiancang any more, so he took a couple of pennies from his sleeve pocket and threw it on the ground.

Sun Tiancang let go, touched the money with a smile, the man lifted his foot and left, but within two steps, he heard people around him laughing.Being pointed at, he also felt a little hairy, and looked down, only to realize when the crotch pants had slipped down.

Holding up his pants, he cursed and turned around, but he couldn't find the little beggar just now.

Looking at Sun Tiancang who ran into the alley and poked his head out, Gu Sixiao blinked, smiled but couldn't help but feel sore nose.

These days, no, Sun Tiancang these years, is it like this?Her medicine expenses and food for these days were all begged by this half-grown boy.

Seeing the man walking away, Sun Tiancang ran back quickly, smiling and raising eyebrows at Gu Sixiao.

"Are you hungry? Well, brother will take you to eat..."

"No, I'm not..." Hungry.

Before he finished speaking, his stomach was already growling.

Gu Sixiao blushed a little, but Sun Tiancang happily pulled Gu Sixiao forward.

The two little beggars just stood in front of the stall, and the middle-aged man selling steamed buns and steamed buns was already frowning.

"Go away, don't delay my business - get out of here..."

Pursing her lips, Gu Sixiao pulled back her hands and wanted to walk away.

Sun Tiancang raised his head, "I'm buying buns—"

While talking, he started directly, "Ah, I don't know what kind of stuffing your buns are made of, and whether they smell good..."

He just took a steamed stuffed bun carelessly, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, "Well, it seems quite fragrant..."

When Sun Tiancang put down the bun, the stall owner's face was already green, staring at the two black paw marks on the bun, he scolded sharply: "Little bastard, I chopped off your paw..."
