Chapter 425: Take the opportunity to dig

The patter of light rain continued forever.
Zhou Miao stood under the eaves, feeling like this weather, very upset.
Jiang Shuyi actually gave birth to a ghost?
It's incredible.
But he knew that it must be true.
He looked back at the palace behind him and sneered.
Well, since it is a ghost, it is useless.
The emperor will not spoil a woman who has given birth to a ghost.
Jiang Shuyi's grace is up to today.
Zhou Miao laughed at himself, but because he had spent so much thought, the bamboo basket was completely empty.
Concubine Li Defei was lucky, she was a man in one fell swoop, and she was still a healthy little prince.
It is estimated that Concubine Li Defei will return to favor soon!
...
Gu Jiu heard that Jiang Shuyi was born prematurely and had a dystocia. In the end, the child was not saved, which was quite unexpected.
"The road behind is difficult."
She sighed with emotion.
The emperor's age is old, and making Jiang Shuyi pregnant once does not mean being able to get pregnant twice.
Without the children, the road behind Jiang Shuyi was indeed difficult.
After she sighed, she did not continue to think about it.
She is about to give birth. She hasn't gone out recently. She is also very sensitive and a little nervous.
Walking around the yard with his waist.
When it rained, the weather became cool and comfortable.
This season is better than midsummer and better than midwinter.
"Madam Qi, sister Shiqi, please see me."
"Did you say anything?"
The little maid shook her head, "Sister Shiqi only said that there are important things to report."
Gu Jiu said casually: "Send her in."
After a while, Shiqi was invited to the small study room.
Without saying a word, she just knelt down, "Please help Madam Shiqin."
Gu Jiu was a little confused, "What happened to Shiqin? Didn't she go home to prepare for her marriage?"
"No! She was driven out of the palace by the prince, and rejected by her family again. She was frustrated with heart disease. She was very ill, and her family refused to give her medical advice. She was about to die! Woo... Madam, you can save her."
Shiqi started crying as he spoke.
Gu Jiu was a little surprised, "You said she was driven out of the palace by the son, didn't she go home to prepare for marriage?"
Shiqi nodded repeatedly, "The slave and maid dare not deceive his wife. The master gave the password, and the slaves are not allowed to reveal a word to the wife. If it weren't for the fact that sister Shiqin is dying of illness, the slave and maid would not dare to risk seeing his wife. There is only now. Madam can save sister Shiqin, please help her."
Shiqi couldn't help crying.
Obviously she and Shiqin have a real relationship.
"You get up and talk first."
Shiqi knelt still.
Qingmei stepped forward and said, "If you want Madam to save someone, just listen to Madam. Otherwise, Madam can be offended, and Madam can drive you out."
Shiqi was scared, and hurriedly got up from the ground, crying and wiping tears.
Gu Jiu asked her: "She is the maid next to the son, and she is very decent. Unless it is an unforgivable mistake, the son will drive her out cruelly. Let's talk about it, what did she commit?"
Shiqi hesitated to speak but stopped, it was difficult to tell the truth.
Gu Jiu smiled, "You want this lady to save people, but you don't tell this lady what happened, then please go back. As for Shiqin, let her fend for herself."
"Said the servant, said the servant. It's just that the son gave the password, and the servant was afraid to say it, and the son couldn't accommodate the servant."
"At this time, do you think the son can still tolerate you?"
Shiqi's face was pale and his blood faded.
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I am here, as long as you are honest and duty-bound, the son will not drive you out."
"Thank you Madam. Sister Shiqin, she is old, and the family is urging marriage. Seeing the maid next to the second wife was carried away by her aunt, she was so obsessed with her heart that she gave birth to thoughts she shouldn't have, and committed the taboo of the son. First son In anger, he drove her out."
After Shiqi said these words, the whole person seemed to collapse. The clothes have been soaked with sweat.
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows, but Shiqin had the courage to seduce Liu Zhao.
Liu Zhao is very good and deserves praise.
She asked: "When did this happen?"
"It was the day before Sister Shiqin was driven away."
Gu Jiu nodded, "It was the son who ordered you personally. Someone asked Shiqin, would Shiqin go home to prepare for marriage?"
Shiqi shook his head, "Duke Lin was ordered to give the password."
That's it.
Gu Jiu asked again: "Where did it happen? The study? The bedroom?"
"Yes, in the bathroom."
Gu Jiute disliked it.
Shiqin would pick a place.
She remembered the time when Shiqin was driven away, the weather was very hot
Liu Zhao came back every day with a stinky sweat. Afraid to smoke her, he would take a shower in the document garden before coming to the room to accompany her.
Liu Zhao kept it tight.
If Shiqin hadn't been seriously ill and sister Shiqi had a deep affection, she would continue to be kept in the dark.
Gu Jiu asked, "What disease did Shiqin get?"
"Her family refused to hire a doctor for her, and the slave and maid did not know what was wrong. The slave and maid had visited her. She lost two laps and coughed up blood. She was afraid that it would not work."
After that, Shiqi cried again. Seems to be sympathetic to each other.
Gu Jiu winked at Qingmei.
Qingmei took out her handkerchief and persuaded, "Sister Shiqi, don't cry. Wipe your tears first. Madam did not say that you can't save people, so don't worry."
Shiqi looked at Gu Jiu expectantly.
Gu Jiu said, "It's always a human life. You can't just watch people die. Sister Fang, you can ask a doctor with the money and come to Shiqin's house to see for her. You can treat it as you like."
Mother Fang hesitated, "Shi Qin wants to climb the bed after all."
"It's wrong to want to climb the bed, but the crime is not dying. Go ahead."
It's not easy to cultivate the big maid next to the eldest son of the palace.
To die easily is simply a violent thing.
As she and Mother Fang said, Shiqin crawling on the bed is abhorrent, but the crime is not dying.
Such a capable maid, as long as she is willing to rest her mind on men, she is a capable man.
Gu Jiu pondered, this Shiqin is still worth saving.
If you save yourself and still have a man in your mind, then just fend for it.
Shiqi wept with joy, "Thank you, madam, thank you madam. The servant maid kowtows to you for sister Shiqin."
Shiqi knelt on the ground, bang bang bang, three ringing, the oily skin was torn.
Gu Jiu said, "Get up. I really want to thank you. When Shiqin is ready, you ask her to knock my head."
"Thank you, Madam, for not considering the prejudice."
Shiqi got up from the ground, tears covering his entire face, not good-looking, but sincere enough.
Gu Jiu said: "You big maidservants are waiting next to the son. You are all involved in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting. They are a bit more capable than the ladies of ordinary officials. Now that you are getting older, have you ever thought about your future?
This lady reminds you all to rest with the thought of being an aunt for the son. One day this lady is in the palace, there can be no other women beside the son. "
This is the first time that Gu Jiu has expressed his position in front of others and will never allow Liu Zhao to accept a concubine.
What about Emperor Sun?
Huang Sun also had to hold her back.
Dare to take a concubine, she can't kill him.
Shiqi seemed to be shocked by her remarks.
Obviously, I didn't expect that Gu Jiu would be able to speak of jealousy so confidently.
Gu Jiu raised an eyebrow and smiled, "What, do you all want to warm the bed for the son?"
"No, no. The slave and maid had such thoughts when they were young, but they have given up on this thought a few years ago."
"You are honest. Tell me, what do you think of your future?"
Shiqi said with a sad look: "The slave and maid don't know, maybe they marry a servant, or let Grandpa Lin find a marriage for the slave and maid outside."
"Want to marry?"
Shiqi nodded, "I'm old enough to get married."
Gu Jiu laughed, "There is another way to do things for me. The steward under my name, the treasurer, the guards, including those bachelors under the son's name, are up to you.
Which one do you like, as long as the man doesn’t refuse, I will buy you a dowry to keep you graceful and marry out. Even if you fancy a certain general or a certain wealthy businessman, I can satisfy you. "
Shiqi's mouth grew wide and his face looked terrified.
She didn't expect this kind of operation at all.
Gu Jiu continued: "You can tell your sisters about this. Only if you are willing to do things for me, I will arrange marriage. The dowry for you will not be less than one thousand taels."
Shiqi gaped, "Where is the son?"
"The son, don't worry about it. If you are a man, it is difficult to let him let go. But you are girls, and I want him to let him go. He dare not refuse to agree."
Gu Jiu is so confident.
Shiqi was irritated and confused. The amount of information is too large, she has to digest.
"What does the maid want the slave and maidservant to do? The slave and maidservant will only serve people and will not do anything else."
Gu Jiu laughed, "The first-class maid next to the dignified prince's mansion, are you underestimating yourself? Will you write and count?"
Shiqi nodded repeatedly.
"Can you train people?"
Shiqi nodded again.
"Does it manage people?"
Shiqi nodded again.
What the lady asks is what they are used to doing.
"Give you the number two hundred, can you control it? Don't worry, it's all women."
Two hundred people?
Shiqi was taken aback, "Slaves can give it a try."
"How about two thousand people? Can you manage it?"
Shiqi was frightened, "Two, two thousand people? The servants have to discuss with your sisters and sisters."
"Yes, you are pretty confident. Your ability is not only to serve people, but also to my wife's eyes. It is not easy to train a maid like you, you know?"
Shiqi blushed, ashamed and ashamed, "The slave servant is not as good as the wife said."
"Okay, you said nothing. Okay, go back to work with peace of mind, don't think about it. After you make the decision, you come to me and I will arrange it for you. If the marriage is well considered, I can also arrange it for you. ."
Shiqi wiped his face, "Thank you Madam, thank you!"
Her tears came out again.
She thought that she would marry and give birth to a child in this life, and she would become a yellow-faced woman all day long. Unexpectedly, there is another way, she can still be in charge of hundreds and thousands of people.
This, this is simply unexpected.
Compared to waiting by the son's side, but unable to see the future, the balance in Shiqi's heart gradually tended to be a man in charge.
It must be very prestigious to control hundreds of thousands of people.
Shiqi left with a smile.
Gu Jiu rubbed his eyebrows, "The maids in this yard, one by one, are getting older and thinking more. It is time to think about their marriage. Qingmei, Qingzhu, have you ever thought about marrying someone? Do you like it?"
"Obviously, it's about the servants, how does the madam say about the servants?" Qing Zhu twisted.
Qingmei said: "The servant girl doesn't want to marry yet, the servant girl wants to stay with his wife and bring the young man for his wife."
Gu Jiu squeezed her cheek, "Such a tender girl, it's a pity to be an old mother. Marry, marry. After marrying, hurry up and give birth to children, study with the little son, and go to test fame in the future."
"Madam, don't tease the servant girl."
Gu Jiu laughed, "This madam didn't laugh. You are both big and young, don't you believe that your family didn't urge?"
Qing Zhu pinched a corner, "Madam really wants to drive us away?"
"Who drove you away? This is really a little conscience, isn't this planning for you? Is it really going to be an old girl for a lifetime?"
"But we are married, who will serve the wife?"
"Didn't you train so many little girls. And after you get married, you can continue to work by my side and take care of my duties. I work as a errand during the day and go home to rest at night. You don't need to be by my side twelve hours a day."
Qing Zhu thought for a while, "but the slaves have no objects."
Gu Jiu laughed, "My Qingzhu wants to marry."
"Madam is teasing the servant girl again." Qing Zhu's cheeks were red, bloody.
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, knowing that she had a thin face, so she didn't keep joking.
She commanded: "From today, let the little maids take turns as errands during the day. Take time to go outside and take a look. If you see it right, remember to tell me."
Qing Zhu remained silent, but seeing her expression made her mind moved.
Qingmei said: "The slave servant doesn't want to marry yet, and the slave servant wants to be with his wife all the time."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "I can't delay your life."
"The servant girl doesn't care."
"But I care about death. And I said, after you get married, you must continue to be a errand by my side. After you want to get married, you don’t have to be a errand, and you have a dream for a hundred days.
"The servant girl is willing to be a servant by his wife's side."
"Then find a good partner to marry yourself first."
"The slave and maid slowly look for it."
This topic has temporarily come to an end.
In the evening, when Liu Zhao came back, he was furious when he learned that Shiqi had gone to find Gu Jiu. When he opens his mouth, he will kick the waiter out.
Or Qingmei arrived in time and stopped.
"My son, Madam invites you to come over and speak, it's important."
Liu Zhao resisted his anger and went to the upper room.
Gu Jiu opened the door and said, "I want the maid Shiqi. You are not allowed to drive her out."
Liu Zhao: "..." What happened when he was away.
"Did Shiqi say something in your ear to tell you to keep her? This maid, who looks honest on weekdays, didn't expect to calculate."
"Liu, you don't want to underestimate me, okay? Do you think I am being deceived by the maids around you? The maids around you, all of whom can write and count, and even train people. Such a good talent , It would be wasteful to drive them out directly. I plan to take them all for my own use and put them in the most suitable position and not serve you."
This time Liu Zhao was stunned.
"Do you really plan to use them?"
Gu Jiu smiled, "Do you know how difficult it is to find a female steward who can write and count these years? Erzhuang has been looking for three or four years outside, and there is not a single eye-catching person. My cotton mill, So many female workers need Shiqin and others who can write and count to be disciplined."
Liu Zhao suddenly realized, "Are you able to use anyone in your hands."
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, very proud, "I have eyes that find gold."
"Then look at me, where am I sparkling?"
"You were born with golden light, so I don't need to look at it."
"Look, where am I sparkling?"
Gu Jiu was so entangled by him, "Okay, okay, your whole body is shining golden."
"You are perfunctory me, I want to listen to the truth." Liu Zhao had no face and skin, and had to force Gu Jiu to tell the truth.
Gu Jiu stretched out his hand and poked his forehead, "Do you really want to hear the truth?"
Liu Zhao nodded, especially sincere.
Gu Jiu smiled and said solemnly: "I think you have the potential to be a traitor."
"Traitor?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "Yes, it's a traitor. You can't be a loyal minister."
Liu Zhao pinched his chin and pondered carefully, "You really have a unique vision. Being a traitor is indeed a way."
Gu Jiu's eyes widened: This is fine too?
She fooled him, okay?
However, Liu Zhao took it seriously.
What is the ultimate goal of the traitor? Of course it is to rebel and become the emperor.
Liu Zhao thinks this path is very suitable for him.
Gu Jiu waved his hand, "Don't mess around!"
Liu Zhao laughed, "My son never messes around."
"Your expression just scared me to death."
Liu Zhao asked: "Really scared?"
"It's not too scared, but you rarely show that expression."
Liu Zhao's expression darkened, "If one day, I do something very bad, would you hate it?"
"What bad thing?"
"The worst thing in the world."
"I don't understand! You might as well just say what you want to do."
Liu Zhao looked at her deeply, and then smiled, "I'm joking with you, don't take it seriously."
