Chapter 23: Seek a wealth

Late at night, Zhilan Academy.
Gu Jiu has finished washing and is holding a book, sitting at the desk and reading.
Qingmei said, "Girl, it's late at night, watch your eyes."
Gu Jiu turned the pages of the book and said softly, "Just watch it for a while, it won't get in the way."
There was footsteps outside.
Qing Zhu stood at the door and said, "Girl, the swallow is here!"
Gu Jiu said softly, "Let her in."
Qing Zhu took Jiang Yan into the bedroom.
Jiang Yan bowed and saluted, "The servant girl pleased the girl. The girl called the servant girl over late at night, I don't know what to order."
Gu Jiu put down the book in his hand and looked at each other lazily, "I heard that you signed a five-year contract?"
Jiang Yan kicked and uneasily replied in a low voice: "Yes!"
"I heard that you sold yourself to avoid being a concubine to the rich man?"
Jiang Yan became more anxious, "Yes!"
Gu Jiu asked her, "In five years, what are you going to do?"
Jiang Yan lowered her head, "The slave and maidservant haven't thought about it yet."
Gu Jiu looked at her with a faint smile, and said casually: "If I let you serve the Third Young Master, would you like it?"
Jiang Yan raised her head suddenly, and then lowered it again, her eyes full of confusion and tension. Only the slightest joy was not seen.
Both Qingmei and Qingzhu were puzzled.
The girl worked hard to get Jiang Yan from her wife, and now she wants to give her to the Third Young Master, why bother.
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "It seems you don't want to."
"Thank you girl for being considerate." Jiang Yan lowered her head, her heart getting more nervous.
The girl called her over late at night, certainly not to give her to the Third Young Master.
What I said just now was probably just a test.
Jiang Yan couldn't figure out what the girl wanted to test.
She didn't even know what kind of person the girl was.
In the upper room, the girl behaved soft and weak. At this moment, the girl became extremely majestic.
Jiang Yan felt that she had jumped into a big pit, and if she was not careful, she would bury herself in the pit.
Gu Jiu waved his hand to signal Qingmei, Qingzhu withdrew.
Ome was a little worried.
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Don't worry about me. I just want to chat with Yanzi."
Qingmei said: "The servant girl is waiting outside the door. The girl calls for something, and the servant girl comes in immediately."
Gu Jiu nodded.
Qingmei and Qingzhu turned around and left the bedroom.
Only Gu Jiu and Jiang Yan were left in the room.
The air suddenly quieted down.
Jiang Yan's palms began to sweat.
Obviously Gu Jiu didn't do anything, didn't say a single word, and smiled all the time when speaking. But Jiang Yan felt a little scared inexplicably.
In the end, Gu Jiu broke the silence.
"I only signed a five-year contract, and I want to take advantage of these five years to seek wealth, right?"
Puff!
Jiang Yan suddenly knelt down, "please punish the girl."
Gu Jiu smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Why should you be punished? It's not wrong if you want to seek wealth."
Jiang Yan was surprised and looked at Gu Jiu blankly.
Gu Jiu bent over and raised her chin, "It looks so beautiful."
Jiang Yan came back to her senses, a little embarrassed, "The maidservant looks like a willow, you can't afford to be a girl.
Gu Jiu shook his head slightly and said, "It's a fact to look good, so don't be humble. Let me ask you, what kind of wealth do you want to seek?"
Jiang Yan was puzzled.
Gu Jiu stared at her eyes, and asked casually: "Do you want a great wealth or a small wealth? Do you want to be a concubine in the house of a rich family, or do you want to go straight to the sky?"
Jiang Yan's heart beats like a drum, bang bang bang, jumping fast. As if jumping out of the throat.
She opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.
When she entered the Cishi Mansion as a errand, she had imagined various possibilities, but she did not expect to encounter the immediate problems.
Gu Jiu smiled and asked, "Didn't you think about it?"
Jiang Yan's throat rolled twice, lowered her voice, and said cautiously: "If there is a chance, the slave and maid will want to be rich and go straight up."
Knew it!
This is a woman who has grown up with a fox face and ambitious.
Perhaps, when she was in a small mountain village, she did not have such ambitions.
But when she entered the city and gained knowledge, her ambitions also swelled.
She didn't want to serve Gu Ling, just because Gu Ling could not satisfy her ambition.
Gu Jiu only needs to push it from behind, and this woman will show amazing potential. Gu Jiu didn't dare to say where he would go in the future.
This woman, uneasy in her room, is a dynamite bag. Either destroy her as soon as possible, or help her climb up.
"Why are you telling the truth suddenly?" Gu Jiu was curious.
Jiang Yan looked at her and said word by word: "Because the servant girl wants to seize this opportunity and wants to make a fortune. The servant girl does not want to regret in the future."
Gu Jiu laughed, "It's not easy to want to be rich."
Jiang Yan eagerly expressed her determination, "A slave and maid can endure hardships, and can eat all kinds of hardships."
Gu Jiu leaned back in his chair and said softly: "If you want to be rich, hardship is not enough. You have to be patient, foresight, and resourceful. The most important thing is that I have to see how you can do things."
"Girl, please." Jiang Yan's eyes were full of determination.
Gu Jiu looked at her expressionlessly, "The maid Xiaohong, you already know it. This maid is a little eye-catching, can you send her away?"
Jiang Yan was a little confused, "The slave and maid dare to ask, the girl wants to send Xiao Hong, and she only needs one sentence. Why should the slave come forward and send her?"
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "It doesn't matter if you keep Xiao Hong. But Xiao Hong, a maid who is not witty, drills everywhere, and now she can't stay."
After a pause, Gu Jiu said: "The last time Xiaohong made a mistake, my father personally punished her, so I can't punish her again. So as not to lose a reputation for being harsh to others, it will reach his father's ears and make his father unhappy.
I am willing to give Xiaohong a chance, as long as she reforms, and forgets the past. It's a pity that this maid doesn't know how to cherish, it's time to send her out. Can you do this? "
Jiang Yan pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, "The servant girl is willing to share the worries for the girl."
Gu Jiu nodded, "Very good! Before the middle of next month, I hope you can do this well."
There are not many days until the middle of next month.
Jiang Yan looked up at Gu Jiu, "Is this the girl's true face?"
Gu Jiu laughed, "You are bold."
Jiang Yan hurriedly lowered her head, "Please forgive me, girl."
Gu Jiu waved his hand and said casually: "What is true and false? It is impossible for a person to have only one face, sometimes gentle and sometimes cold. Sometimes delicate, sometimes shrewd. Sometimes gentle and whispering, sometimes windy sword.
In what face you should show people, it depends on the environment and the people you face. You want to make a fortune, but you can't have one face. "
"Slaves are taught! Thank you girl for teaching."
Jiang Yan was a little excited, her cheeks flushed slightly.
Gu Jiu smiled and asked, "Are you literate?"
"Never literate." Jiang Yan said weakly, lacking confidence, and the excitement disappeared without a trace.
Gu Jiu picked up the book and said calmly: "When things are done, I will teach you literacy."
Jiang Yan was overjoyed, "Thank you for the girl's cultivation, and the maidservant will not disappoint the girl."
Gu Jiu looked at her and said, "Take your temper, don't be surprised. In the future, there will be other errands left to you."
"The servant girl listens to the girl."
Jiang Yan got up and left.
Ome walked in from outside.
"The girl values ​​the swallow so much, the servant girl and the green bamboo can only stand aside in the future."
Gu Jiu laughed, "Don't think about it, you are different from Jiang Yan. She will leave here sooner or later, and you will always be by my side. You and Qingzhu are the people I rely on."
Qingmei turned her sorrow into joy, "The servant girl is willing to wait on the girl for a lifetime."
