Gu Qiang's whole person seems to have changed since she woke up last time. She goes out whenever she has nothing to do. Her life is very different from before. She seems to be plotting something big. Of course, this is people's privacy, but Tingfeng is really worried about her.
"You guys stay well in the yard. Maybe Ye and Gu Zhihua will come to trouble us some time. When the time comes, I will feel relieved when you are here." Gu Qiang said slowly.
Tingfeng is much more mature than Chuixue, and Gu Qiang does trust her more.
After going out, Gu Qiang was walking on the street. There were many people on the streets of the capital city, but what was very different from before was that the people on the street now looked listless and in a hurry, looking at The eyes around him were all very cold.
Because many refugees have poured into the capital, a large part of the people in the capital are refugees, and there may be someone carrying the plague.
People like the Queen Mother can catch this plague in a deep-walled compound like the palace. How can anyone not be nervous in a capital city where there are no protective measures.
Gu Qiang walked forward. The Liu family was on the edge of the capital and made their fortune by doing business. Although he didn't know why the officials in the capital looked down on businessmen, it was probably because businessmen were too shrewd.
As he hurriedly walked on the road, Gu Qiang suddenly thought of the queen's warning to him. If he was attacked by refugees here, he might lose his memory, but he had not told Shen Qianshan about his memory yet.
After thinking about it like this, Gu Qiang suddenly became nervous, and then took a private look.
A carriage rushed over from the end of the road, and everyone around them tried to avoid it. Gu Qiang had no time to dodge, and saw that the carriage was about to hit her. She was so frightened that her body became even more rigid and unable to move.
Just when the carriage was about to rush over, Gu Qiang's body was violently lifted up and thrown to the side. The carriage passed by her side. She was thrown so badly that she rubbed her knees and turned around to see a man in a dress. The woman in red clothes looked at her condescendingly.
She was an ordinary-looking woman, but the bright red clothes she wore looked very domineering, making people unable to take their eyes away. She originally thought that a man had saved her, because of this
Women are too strong.
Fortunately, Gu Qiang was saved, so she said to the woman: "I really want to thank this girl. You saved me today. Can you tell me your name personally? Come and visit me another day."
The woman was originally standing in front of Gu Qiang, but after she finished asking these questions, she fell in front of her with a plop.
Gu Qiang rushed to the woman, helped her up, looked at her eyes tightly closed, then opened them, and said helplessly: "Can you take me to have something to eat."
This... could it be that he fainted from hunger
Gu Qiang quickly took the woman to the nearby Zuixian Tower. At this time, many restaurants in the capital were closed. Although there were many refugees in the capital at this time and needed a lot of food and rice, they had no money.
There are not many kind-hearted people, and only big restaurants can withstand such trouble. It just so happens that Zuixianlou is the largest restaurant in the capital.
After helping the woman in, Gu Qiang took her to the private room on the second floor. In fact, Gu Qiang herself did not come to Zuixian Tower many times.
After ordering a lot of dishes for her, the woman started eating like crazy, looking around cautiously while eating.
Gu Qiang looked at her. Although she knew it was impolite to ask these questions, she still couldn't help but ask: "Girl, are you okay?"
In fact, Gu Qiang found that the woman had good skills and should be a powerful character. Wouldn't it be a pleasure to have this woman in his pocket
The woman took two more bites, raised her head and said to Gu Qiang: "My name is Gusu Liang. I come from a small county next to the capital. My family used to live a good life there, but this disaster caused my parents to pass away. I have no choice. , just came to the capital to stutter."
Gu Qiang looked at this girl coldly. If this girl was just an ordinary person, she would not believe it, because Gu Suliang was very skilled and did not look like a child from an ordinary family.
Gusu Liang took another leisurely sip of tea and finished the delicious meal.
Then he looked up at Gu Qiang, saw her questioning gaze, and said with an embarrassed smile: "I know what you want to ask me, but I don't want to say it now, but you are the only person I met in the capital. A person who helped me, I will remember him in my heart."
Gu Qiang waved her hand and said to Gu Su Liang: "You also helped me. We are now settled."
After saying that, Gu Qiang took out some money from his purse and put it on the table. He said to Gu Su Liang: "This money is for this meal. I will give the rest to you as you saved me." Reward, I have something else to do, so I’ll leave first.”
Gu Suliang looked at the money on the table, suddenly calmed down, and said to Gu Qiang: "You don't have to be like this. I saved you willingly, not for your money. I can see that you are a young lady from a rich family. But I hope the favor won’t be repaid with money.”
Gu Qiang was about to leave, but after hearing Gu Su Liang's words, she turned to look at Gu Su Liang. This girl had quite a strong sense of self-esteem.
"Then what are you going to do?" Gu Qiang sat back down again and looked at Gu Su Liang. The latter pushed the money to Gu Qiang and said, "You pay for the meal, and I will work by your side as a maid. How about paying for the meal?"
Gu Qiang's eyes lit up. She originally wanted to take Gu Su Liang into her pocket, but now she actually came to her door by herself, so Gu Qiang quickly walked up and said to Gu Su Liang: "This is your choice. , don’t regret it, and before that, I want to tell you seriously, you are a maid and nothing else, you know what a maid wants to do, right?"
Gu Suliang stood up, smiled, patted her chest, and said to Gu Qiang, "I know, don't worry, I will do a good job."
After leaving Zuixian Tower, Gu Qiang took off a hairpin from her head and said to Gu Su Liang: "Your Qinggong is very good. You can climb over the wall directly into the Prime Minister's Mansion. There is an inconspicuous place in the northwest corner of the Prime Minister's Mansion. There is a huge pear tree in my small yard. That is my yard. There are two maids in the yard. All you need to do is show this thing to the two maids and say that the eldest lady asked you to go there. ”
Gu Suliang took the hairpin and repeated it, then nodded and went to where Gu Qiang said.
He didn't expect to meet such a girl on the road, but the girl appeared too suddenly. Gu Qiang was very nervous, but he still chose to believe her for once.
As I continued walking forward, I saw an alley. I looked inside carefully and found that there was a stench coming from the alley. Some people were lying on the ground, wailing and groaning, as if they were in pain. There are also some people who cannot tell whether they are dead or alive at all.
These people were refugees from various places and were not the local population of the capital. They just hoped that their appearance would make them visible to the emperor and the officials of the capital and save their lives.
Gu Qiang looked at these people, as if they were out of her control, turned around and walked into the alley.
Just when Gu Qiang took two steps. Suddenly a group of people came from the side, led by a cleanly dressed man with a hat on his head, who looked like an official.
The official walked right up here, looked at Gu Qiang, and said to her, "Who are you and why are you here?"
Gu Qiang was stunned and didn't know how to answer. He could only say: "I was passing by and just wanted to take a look."
"Just take a look? What's so interesting here? Which family are you from? You are so ignorant. What if you get close to those refugees and you are infected?" the official said.
Then she ordered someone to pull Gu Qiang over. She felt uncomfortable, but said nothing because the Queen Gu Qiang had warned her to be careful and not to be attacked by refugees.
So Gu Qiang nodded and said, "I understand, I'll leave right away."
The officials knew that the girl had done nothing wrong, so naturally they could not imprison her and could only let Gu Qiang go.
When Gu Qiang walked along the path to Liu's house, he passed many alleys. There were many people in each alley, and without exception, there was a very smelly smell coming from inside, which made people sick.
Just when Gu Qiang was about to reach Liu's house, some people rushed out from the alley in front. These people were ragged, unkempt, smelled sour, and had vicious expressions on their faces.
One of them said to the other: "Cousin, this woman looks very rich, should we..."
"Of course!" the other person said, then he took out a knife from behind and pointed it at Gu Qiang and said, "Give me all the money you have, hurry up!"
Is this to steal your own money? Gu Qiang immediately regretted it. If she had not let Gu Su Liang go, but let Gu Su Liang stay by her side, things would not be like this.
Gu Qiang took two steps back and said to those people: "I have no money, please let me go?"
"No money? Are there people in Beijing who have no money? These people live a luxurious life with the money we have worked so hard to earn, but when we need help, they all pretend to be poor and say they have no money? Who are you kidding? What?" One of the men pointed at Gu Qiang and said.
Although these refugees are indeed very pitiful, the hostility of these people is too strong and makes people uncomfortable.
The situation at this time is not what everyone wants to see. It can only be said to be a natural disaster. People in the capital are also trying their best to make up for it. You can't blame others for everything.
Gu Qiang looked at these people, and felt a little frightened. There were many people on the opposite side, and he was weak. Seeing that these refugees had already walked in front of him, Gu Qiang finally couldn't help but said: "I really don't have any Money, don’t do this either, I’m going to find a way to save you.”
"Who are you kidding? Come on, brothers, take off all this woman's clothes. Let me see if she has any money!" One of the men said loudly.
