Chapter 72: No regrets

In the past few days, everyone is quiet as a chicken in the inner courtyard of the Governor's Mansion.
Because of Xie's pregnancy, no one dared to touch Xie's mildew at this time and deliberately cause trouble.
Even the most noisy Gu Yue had settled down because of being punished and thinking behind closed doors.
But Gu Jiu, after raising it for three or two days, the cold finally healed, and he felt refreshed.
In the middle of the afternoon, the weather is hot.
Gu Jiu drank a glass of watermelon juice, but Qingmei stopped drinking it.
"The girl is weak and can't drink much."
Gu Jiu wrinkled his nose, "Well, I don't drink much. Bring me the leftmost book in the third row of the bookcase."
Qingmei took the book and put it in Gu Jiu's hand.
Gu Jiu leaned against the collapsed window and read a book while shaking the fan.
Jiang Yan stood at the door with his homework.
Qingmei gave a "hush" to tell Jiang Yan not to disturb Gu Jiu.
"Is Jiang Yan coming? Let her come in."
Qingmei let Jiang Yan walk into the study.
Gu Jiu put down the book in his hand and slapped slowly, "The swallow is here, have you finished your homework?"
Jiang Yan nodded, and bowed to hand over her homework, "This is the slave's homework, please check it."
Gu Jiu picked up Jiang Yan's homework and flipped through page after page.
Jiang Yan's characters are like children's painted symbols.
But the victory lies in the neat handwriting, and it can be seen that it was hard work.
It has been remarkable to have such progress in a short time.
After all, writing a good word is not a matter of overnight.
Gu Jiu nodded and put his homework on the table. Then he winked at Ome.
Qingmei was very interested and quietly left the door.
In the study, only Gu Jiu and Jiang Yan were left.
Jiang Yan was a little anxious, "Girl, what did the servant do wrong?"
Gu Jiu took a sip of tea, pondered it, and asked, "Jiang Yan, can your aspirations change?"
Jiang Yan was a little at a loss.
Gu Jiu smiled softly and said, "You only need to answer yes or no."
Jiang Yan took a deep breath and nodded, "The slave's ambition has never changed."
Gu Jiu nodded, "That's great. Now there is an opportunity, right in front of you."
Jiang Yan's body tightened, looking at Gu Jiu, her palms began to sweat. What kind of opportunity the girl said?
Gu Jiu didn't sell the door, and said straightforwardly: "Next month, there will be a group of beauties starting from the northwest and being sent to the capital. The final destination should be the palace. Would you like to go?"
"The emperor, the palace?"
Jiang Yan's heartbeat speeded up, fine beads of sweat came out of her forehead, her mouth was dry, and she involuntarily licked her lips, feeling that she could hardly speak.
Gu Jiu nodded, "Yes, the palace. According to the news I understand, the final destination for these beauties is the palace.
As for whether an accident will happen halfway, no one can say. In the unlikely event of an accident, you people cannot enter the palace.
This is an opportunity with corresponding risks. Whether or not to seize this opportunity, you decide for yourself. "
Jiang Yan struggled, struggled, and hesitated, "Girl, if there is an accident halfway, what will happen to the slave and maid? Can I return to the girl to serve?"
Gu Jiu slowly shook his head, and said without emotion: "If an accident does happen, what will happen to you? I don't know.
Since the day you left the Cishi Mansion, you have ceased to be mine. Therefore, you can't come back to me to serve. You must make your own decision on this matter. "
Jiang Yan looked at Gu Jiu, "Does the girl think the slaves should go?"
Gu Jiu was expressionless, "You have to ask yourself this question. Ask your own heart, do you want to go?"
Jiang Yan's mouth is dry, her heartbeat has been overloaded, and her body is stiff.
She asked in a low voice, "Can you really enter the palace?"
Gu Jiu said: "If everything goes well, you can naturally enter the palace. As far as I know, these beauties are sent to the capital to honor your majesty."
Jiang Yan's face was red, and her heartbeat was so fast that she felt short of breath. It always feels too hot in this room, it makes her breathless.
She clenched her hands, feeling that the back of her clothes was soaked with sweat.
After thinking for a long time, she finally said affirmatively: "Girl, the servant girl wants to go."
Gu Jiu raised his eyes and stared at Jiang Yan, "Did you figure it out?"
Jiang Yan nodded heavily, "The slave maid has figured it out clearly. The slave maid wants to give it a try."
Gu Jiu nodded, "Just think about it clearly. You have to remember that after embarking on this path, you have no retreat. No matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, you can only rely on yourself."
Because of these words, Jiang Yan's expression became heavy, and she said with difficulty: "Thank you girl for reminding that the slave and maidservant are ready, and the slave and maid will not regret it."
Gu Jiu stared at her and said blankly: "In this case, you go back and make preparations, and you will be sent out of the house in a few days. If there is something to be taken to the house, please tell Qingmei. She will help you. it is good."
"Thank you girl."
Jiang Yan suddenly knelt down, facing Gu Jiu, and knocked his head three times.
Gu Jiu frowned slightly.
Jiang Yan said excitedly: "These days, thank you girl for taking care of her. The girl's kindness to the servant girl will never be forgotten for the rest of her life. If the servant girl has a future, the servant girl will definitely repay the girl's kindness."
"Talk about what to do, get up. You know the commonly used words. Read more books and practice handwriting more when you have time. Reading and literacy will help you no matter where you go. I hope you will have something in your mind someday. Don’t forget your original intention."
Jiang Yan choked up and said, "The slave and maid must remember the girl's teachings."
Gu Jiu also reminded: "Don't tell anyone about this. From your fellow Guo Taohua, you can think of another reason to prevaricate, don't show any traces."
"The slave understands."
Jiang Yan wiped away her tears, stood up, and left the study in silence.
Qingmei came in from outside and asked, "The girl really wants to send the swallow into the palace?"
Gu Jiu laughed at herself, "I don't have the ability to send her into the palace. This trip to the capital depends on her own good fortune. If everything goes well, and finally enters the palace, everything is just the beginning. The palace is no ordinary person. A place to survive."
Qingmei was a little melancholy, "Swallow is pretty good, and she still thinks that she can continue to be sisters in the future and serve the girls together. Unexpectedly, she will leave in a blink of an eye."
Gu Jiu laughed, "You didn't get along for a long time, and you couldn't bear it. I remember that you used to say that she was Hu Meizi and you didn't like her."
Qingmei squeezed, and then said, "One time and another time. I didn't know Yanzi before, so I thought she was a person who climbed the dragon and attached the phoenix.
Of course, she sold herself as a maid just to cling to Gao Zhi. But she is different from the average person who clings to Gao Zhi.
The maidservant didn't understand, but after getting to know her, she wouldn't find her disgusting. "
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Although she clings to Gao Zhi, she is very frank and sincere, and she is also very hardworking.
Moreover, she didn't go around camping around to cling to the high sticks. On the contrary, it is more secure than ordinary people. "
Qingmei nodded frequently, "Just like the girl said, that's it. So the servant doesn't hate her. It's a pity to think that she is leaving."
Gu Jiu said softly: "It's nothing to be a pity, it's her own choice."
Qing Zhu came in from the outside, "Girl, the master sends someone over to let the girl go to the outer courtyard study immediately."
"Master sent someone to tell me to go to the outer courtyard study?"
"Exactly."
Gu Jiu and Qingmei exchanged glances. Could it be that Pei Yun's drug had been passed to Master Gu.
