Chapter 87: Never let your baby girl be a concubine (one more)

The horse-drawn carriage is faster than the ox-carriage, which is half the time.
All the way to Tianmen Temple smoothly, the time has not reached noon.
The abbot of Tianmen Temple and Monk Huitong went out to greet him personally.
"Amitabha, Mrs. Gu, please."
"Master is polite."
The crowd followed the great monk into the hall.
The Zhike monk delivered incense wax, and everyone followed Xie, kneeling on the futon, praying devoutly.
Gu Jiu looked around, a man with fierce temperament and dark complexion, who looked like an unsheathed sword, suddenly appeared in the hall.
Gu Jiu wondered, when did this man appear?
The man clearly noticed Gu Jiu's gaze, and when he turned his head, his gaze looked like a knife, just to'kill' Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu's heart trembled, her eyes sharp.
This is a soldier, and a soldier who kills and drinks blood.
Gu Jiu hurriedly retracted his gaze.
After a while, when she looked over again, the man who appeared suddenly disappeared again.
Just like everything before, but Gu Jiu had a dream.
After burning incense, everyone got up.
Zhike monk led everyone into the backyard.
"Today the kitchen has prepared a vegetarian restaurant specially. Mrs. Gu, dear benefactors, please take a rest in the backyard. When the vegetarian restaurant is completed, it will be delivered in time."
"Thank you little master."
Xie said politely.
Passing through the moon cave gate, came to the backyard, looking at the familiar courtyard, Gu Jiu was still a little emotional.
Settling down in the yard, Xie said to everyone: "There is still some time before noon. Go and play by yourself. Don't run too far. Remember to come back and use Su Zhai after an hour."
Gu Yue smiled and said, "Mother, my daughter will go to the back mountain to see the maple leaves. I have long heard that the back mountain of Tianmen Temple has a wonderful view."
Xie said with a smile: "Go, be careful."
Gu Yue said: "Mother can rest assured that her daughter will pay attention to safety."
Gu Yue took Gu Shan out.
Gu Jiu also took the opportunity to leave.
Gu Lin wanted to follow Gu Jiu, but Gu Jiu wanted to see Pei Yun, so she simply rejected Gu Lin.
Feeling wronged, Gu Lin stomped her feet and ran away.
Qingmei whispered, "Girl five also played a little temper."
Gu Jiu said, "Don't worry about her."
When Gu Jiu came to the back mountain, he saw Pei Yun sitting in the pavilion from a distance.
Pei Yun is dressed up in women's clothing today, she is pure and clean, and she has only two maids around her, which is particularly low-key.
Gu Jiu walked up to the pavilion and called out, "Sister Pei."
Pei Yun looked at Gu Jiu and smiled, "Sister Gu is here, please sit down."
Gu Jiu sat down on the stone bench.
The maid stepped forward to pour tea.
Pei Yun asked, "How is my sister getting better these days?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "Thank you Sister Pei for your concern, I'm fine. Sister Pei is willing to see me, and I am grateful."
Pei Yun smiled faintly, "Sister Gu, you are welcome. I am very interested in the wool weaving mentioned in your letter. Could you please let me see it."
Pei Yun's character is as straightforward and calm as ever.
Gu Jiu stretched out her hand, and Qingmei put the woolen fabric sample on his hand.
Gu Jiu handed the woolen fabric sample forward, "Sister Pei, please have a look."
Pei Yun picked up a sample of woolen fabric and carefully observed her feelings.
Very soft and warm, she smiled: "Winter clothes made of woolen cloth are great."
Gu Jiu nodded, "Sister Pei is right."
Pei Yun returned the sample to Gu Jiu and asked, "Sister Gu, can this really be mass produced? Will it be difficult?"
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "It is not difficult to weave with wool. The difficulty is that a lot of water is needed to wash the wool, and a lot of people are required to select wool."
Pei Yun laughed when she heard the words, "These two problems are easy to solve. Sister Gu, I am very interested in the wool weaving industry you mentioned, and I am willing to cooperate with you."
Gu Jiu was overjoyed, "Really? Sister Pei no longer think about it?"
Pei Yun shook her head, "I have already thought about it on the way here. At that time, I thought, as long as the samples you gave me satisfied, I agreed to cooperate."
Gu Jiu asked again: "Sister Pei is not worried about losing money? It is also possible that the wool weaving industry can't develop, and she is busy for a while, and finally the bamboo basket is empty."
Pei Yun smiled and said, "I have confidence in Sister Gu."
Gu Jiu curled his eyebrows and smiled warmly.
"Thank you Sister Pei for her trust, I won't let you down."
The two continued to talk about cooperation.
Pei Yun is willing to be the backer of the wool weaving workshop. Even if she leaves the northwest and returns to the capital in the future, she will arrange proper people to look after the wool workshop.
In addition, Pei Yun invested three thousand two, occupying 40% of the shares. However, he will not participate in the operation and will not interfere with any decision of Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu solemnly thanked him, "Thank you Sister Pei for her generous help. Without you, the wool workshop would never have been run."
Pei Yun smiled and said: "I and I look forward to the scene that Sister Gu said in the letter. In fact, I just want to earn some pocket money with Sister Gu."
Gu Jiu was grateful.
Pei Yun doesn't lack pocket money, let alone this income. Being willing to invest and being the backer of the workshop, is there no reason for not repaying the favors saved by Gu Jiu last time.
Gu Jiu remembered this favor in his heart.
"It's not early, so I don't dare to stay longer. Sister Pei, let's separate."
"Sister Gu walks slowly. You have to go back to Beijing, it is not convenient for me to see you off, I wish you a smooth journey.
"Sister Cheng Pei Ji Yan."
Pei Yun smiled and said: "Sister Gu, when I return to the capital, I invite you to go out to play, you can't refuse."
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "Sister Pei's invitation, I can't ask for it."
"That's a deal."
Gu Jiu separated from Pei Yun and returned to the backyard.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I found the atmosphere was not right.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Jiu saw the fierce man who had seen him burning incense in the hall before walking out of the front door.
Gu Jiu was stunned, standing on the spot, looking around, almost wondering if he had gone through the wrong courtyard gate.
How could this man appear here.
Pei Meng also noticed that Gu Jiu was the little girl in the hall who boldly looked at him.
Pei Meng and Gu Jiu passed by without looking back, and strode away.
Gu Jiu hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"
Too strange.
Xiaocui took Gu Jiu to the corner and whispered, "The third girl fell while going down the mountain, and it happened to fall on Young Master Pei. Then Young Master Pei sent the third girl back."
"You said that the young man's last name was Pei?" Gu Jiu stared at Xiao Cui.
Xiao Cui nodded again and again, "The servant girl stood outside the window and heard clearly. That's how Young Master Pei really introduced herself."
Gu Jiu looked in the direction Pei Meng had left. This Young Master Pei, obviously, should be Pei Yun's elder brother.
It's just that Gu Yue happened to fall on this Young Master Pei, which was too weird.
Gu Jiu wanted to come in and visit Gu Yue.
Chunhe stopped, "Second girl, go to the wing to rest. The wife will be talking to the third girl, which is not convenient."
Gu Jiu didn't rush inside, but asked, "Is the third sister seriously injured?"
Chunhe said, "Thank you for the second girl's concern. The third girl twisted her foot and can't walk temporarily."
Gu Jiu said: "The third sister is fine, I'm relieved."
After speaking, Gu Jiu didn't stay longer, and turned to rest in the wing.
In the room, Gu Yue was lying on the bed, Xie stayed by the bed.
Xie's expression was gloomy and staring at Gu Yue, "Yue'er, tell me the truth, was it an accident or a man-made fall this time?"
Gu Yue said timidly: "It was an accident."
Xie's eyes narrowed slightly, "You didn't lie to me?"
Gu Yue has a prior conviction, and Xie would not easily believe Gu Yue's rhetoric.
Gu Yue nodded frequently, "Daughter dare not deceive her mother. When she went down the steps, her feet slipped and her daughter fell off. Fortunately, Master Pei was just a few steps away at the time, so that her daughter avoided the shame."
Xie said very solemnly: "From Master Pei, I will thank him for you. But from now on, you are not allowed to mention Master Pei again."
Gu Yue looked blank, "Daughter doesn't understand."
"You don't need to understand."
Xie's heart was shocked and angry. Gu Yue wrestled, just in front of Pei Meng, which made Xie's think more.
She has not forgotten the task given to her by her elder brother.
She has written to her elder brother and rejected the task.
Could it be that the eldest brother explicitly agreed, but secretly arranged for someone to deliberately create this accident, wanting Gu Yue to marry Pei Meng.
The more Xie thought about it, the more he realized it was possible.
Pei Meng was married.
If her baby girl marries Pei Meng, she can only be a concubine.
Xie’s knows better than anyone the sadness of being a concubine.
In any case, she would never allow her daughter to be a concubine.
Seeing Xie's expression unpredictable, Gu Jiu felt uneasy.
She asked cautiously: "Mother, did the daughter do something wrong? At that time, the daughter told Master Pei that he didn't need him to send me back. But Master Pei insisted on sending it, and the daughter couldn't help it."
Xie stared at Gu Yue, "Do you know what identity this Master Pei is?"
Gu Jiu nodded, and then shook his head, "My daughter guessed a bit."
"Since you guessed it, I will not hide it from you. This son is Luhou's eldest son. He has been married a few years ago. If I remember correctly, the child is already five or six years old. Yue'er, you understand me. Mean?"
Xie stared at Gu Yue, not missing any expression on her face.
Gu Yue looked timid, "Daughter understands what the mother means. My daughter will not send me back because of Master Pei. She has any thoughts that she shouldn't have."
Xie breathed a sigh of relief, "It's so good."
If you change to another person, Xie will not be so nervous.
But Pei Meng, Xie's family is almost like an enemy.
She was worried that this incident was not an accident, but man-made.
Someone deliberately created the encounter between Gu Yue and Pei Meng, and the purpose was self-evident.
Even worse, Pei Meng came back with Gu Yue in his arms.
That's right, the maids have seen it just after holding it back.
This made Xie's frown.
This Young Master Pei is not too particular about it.
A little girl, how can she hug her? Even if you want to help, you should avoid it.
Sure enough, he had been in the barracks for a long time and had forgotten the men and women defense.
Xie urged Gu Yue, "You should take care of your injuries and don't think about it. I'll come as I go."
Gu Yue nodded obediently.
Xie walked out of the bedroom with a gloomy face.
She asked Chunhe, "Where is Mother Ping?"
Chunhe bowed and said, "Return to his wife, Mother Ping should be in the wing."
Without a moment's delay, Xie raised his foot and walked towards the wing room.
Seeing Sister Ping, Xie's lowered his voice, and asked with his head and face, "Did you do the Yue'er thing?"
Madam Ping said calmly, "My wife has misunderstood. The slave and maid don't know anything about the third girl. Didn't it mean that this was an accident?"
"Humph!"
Xie's face was gloomy, "Accidents? There are so many accidents in the world. An accident happened to be in front of Young Master Pei, who happened to let Young Master Pei come back with Yue'er? You old slave, it's still up to this day. Don't tell the truth."
"Madam Mingjian, the servant girl really never did it. Everything the servant girl said is the truth."
Xie pointed to Mother Ping, "Surely you did not harm Yue'er? Yue'er said that when she went down the steps, she slipped and fell. Say, did you do your hands and feet beforehand?"
Madam Ping shook her head, "Mrs. Mingjian, the servants have been in the wing and have never gone out. How can you behave. Madam, you are really worried. The third girl's accident is really an accident."
Xie snorted, "It's better to be accidental. If you let me know that someone makes a big fuss about this matter and wants to marry Master Pei as a concubine, I can't spare you."
Madam Ping bowed and said, "Madam, don't worry, no one will let the third girl be a concubine for Young Master Pei. The eldest master also stated clearly in the letter that he has given up this plan and will no longer embarrass his wife."
Xie said with a straight face: "It's best!"
Xie shook his sleeve and left.
After leaving the house, he said to Chunhe: "Send my order to give a password to the three girls. If someone discusses it in private, he will be severely punished."
"The slave understands."
Xie's got real fire.
She would never allow anyone to calculate her precious girl under her nose.
In addition to blocking the mouths of the maids, she had to stare at Gu Yue.
Gu Yue can't let Gu Yue have any unreasonable thoughts about Pei. This matter, Xie Shi will personally stare.
Once Gu Yue has any signs of something wrong, she will act decisively and kill Gu Yue's wild thoughts in the bud.
Xie's disapproval of Tianmen Temple was unlucky, and something went wrong as soon as she came, which was what she worried the most.
She wanted to leave for Jinju City immediately.
It's just that it's rare to come here. If you go back without even eating vegetarian food, it will be even more noticeable.
And Mrs. Fu Yin has already arrived. This will be burning incense in the main hall, and she will come over soon.
Therefore, even if Xie clan can't wait to put on the wings and fly back to Jinzhou City with Gu Yue, she had no choice but to endure it.
In the left wing, Gu Zhen said to Gu Jiu: "Second sister, wife and third sister have finished talking, let's go visit third sister."
Gu Jiu said, "Let's wait a while."
After a pause, Gu Jiu asked, "Big sister, were you there when the third sister was sent back?"
Gu Zhen shook her head, "I'm not here. I came back only after hearing the news."
Gu Jiu nodded and said, "Well, how can the third sister wrestle?"
Gu Zhen smiled and said somewhat gloating: "She must be too smug."
Soon, Gu Shan and Gu Lin also returned.
Hearing that Gu Yue wrestled, twisted her foot and couldn't walk, Gu Shan was very worried.
Gu Lin secretly complained, "The third elder sister is also true, she can't walk well."
With Xie's permission, everyone went into the house to visit Gu Yue.
Gu Yue was so embarrassed that he couldn't lift the spirit.
Gu Shan asked first: "Sister Third, are you okay?"
Gu Yue nodded, "I'm fine. Just two days off."
Gu Zhen was curious, "Sister, well, how come you fall?"
Gu Yue said angrily, "I slipped and fell suddenly. Big sister wouldn't think I fell on purpose."
"How come." Gu Zhen smiled awkwardly.
Gu Ji observed Gu Yue, who looked depressed and a little irritable. It seems something is bothering me.
She was about to ask tentatively, a maid shouted outside the door, "Mrs. Fu Yin is here."
Gu Yue looked up with a happy face, "Sister Xu is here."
Gu Zhen suddenly urged Gu Yue, "Third sister, lie down well. With Miss Xu, we will greet you for you."
Gu Yue stared at Gu Zhen, "Big sister is interested, but I don't need it."
The maid came in, please Gu Jiu and the others to go out to meet the guests.
Everyone filed out of the bedroom, came to the hall, and met Mrs. Chua of Fu Yin.
Mrs. Fu Yin Cai curiously asked Xie: "Sister, why don't you see Yue'er?"
Xie said: "Yue'er is a frizzy kid. When he went to play in the back mountain, he accidentally fell. He twisted his ankle and was lying down to rest."
Cai asked concerned: "Is Yue'er seriously injured?"
Xie smiled, "Thank you for your concern, my ankle is a little swollen and not serious. Just two days of raising it."
Cai nodded, "So, I'm relieved. Yuanniang, go and see sister Yue'er, and tell her to heal her injury."
Xu Yuanniang got up, "Daughter listens to her mother."
Gu Zhen took the initiative to say: "Miss Xu, I will show you the way. Please go here."
"Thank you Sister Zhen." Xu Yuanniang pursed her lips and smiled.
Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows, and her eldest sister took the initiative today, which is really surprising.
Gu Lin was upset, "I will return to Beijing soon, what good is the big sister to please Miss Xu at this time."
