Gu Jiu stood up, ready to leave.
"Wait!"
Master Xu gritted his teeth, "I'll buy the prescription."
Gu Jiu looked back at him, "Sorry, the price of the prescription has increased."
"you… "
Doctor Xu was so angry that his heart ached.
Gu Jiu asked him: "Do you still want to buy prescriptions? Two thousand taels, no two prices."
"You and I… "
Gu Jiu kindly reminded, "If you don't buy it, I will leave."
"Wait, I'll buy it!"
Dr. Xu's heart was bleeding, and he stared at Gu Jiu with hatred.
Gu Jiu took out the prescription, but did not give it to Doctor Xu immediately.
She said: "Doctor Xu doesn't need to look at me like that. Buying my own life for two thousand taels is a very good deal.
Could it be that Dr. Xu thinks that his life is not worth two thousand taels? "
Master Xu suppressed the bloody smell in his throat, and said: "Has anyone in the Governor's Mansion ever seen Miss Gu being so calculating? If Mrs. Gu knows about this, I don't know how she will feel."
Gu Jiu smiled, and looked at the other party with deep meaning in her eyes, "I've heard that Dr. Xu and my wife have a very good relationship.
Is Dr. Xu going to tell his wife about today's feelings? Tell the wife, will you die? "
Dr. Xu suppressed the sudden fear in his heart, bowed his head and said, "I still want to live for a few more years. Don't worry, Miss Gu, I will pretend that today's incident has never happened outside this room."
Gu Jiu nodded and said with a smile, "That's very good."
After accepting the two thousand taels of silver, Gu Jiu bid farewell to Dr. Xu.
"Doctor Xu stop, don't send me out personally."
Dr. Xu stood at the door, watching Gu Jiu's back disappear behind the curtain with complicated eyes.
They all underestimated Gu Jiu. Everyone will pay the price for underestimating Gu Jiu.
He only paid two thousand taels, which is already very cheap.
Thinking of this, Doctor Xu smiled in relief.
Forget it, he really shouldn't be involved in the private matters of the big family.
Out of the pharmacy, on the bullock cart.
Seeing that Gu Jiu was safe and sound, Qing Mei breathed a sigh of relief.
"The slaves are almost scared to death."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "I told you a long time ago that nothing will happen. You're just worrying."
"The girl is too bold, how can I not be worried. Let's go back to the house quickly."
Gu Jiu nodded.
Li Chuan swung his whip, and the ox cart slowly moved towards the governor's mansion.
Gu Ting and Su Zheng got into the carriage, both of them looked excited.
"Sister, you are amazing."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "It's nothing. Dr. Xu has a guilty conscience. If he wants to calm things down, he has to spend money to buy peace."
Su Zheng took a deep look at Gu Jiu.
He knew that Cousin Xiaojiu was intelligent, smart, calm and tolerant when things went wrong. But he still underestimated Cousin Xiaojiu, he didn't expect her to be so scheming.
When cousin Xiaojiu asked him to pretend to be a servant, he was still very worried.
Worried that Cousin Xiaojiu's plan would fail. Worried that cousin Xiaojiu is under the control of Dr. Xu because of her young age.
Unexpectedly, Dr. Xu was overwhelmed by Cousin Xiao Jiu during the whole process, and kept running at the rhythm of Cousin Xiao Jiu.
This method is so sharp and effective, it's really amazing.
Su Zheng said with emotion: "Cousin is really amazing. I feel ashamed and need to learn from Cousin Xiaojiu."
"Cousin Su, don't praise me, I'm almost embarrassed."
Gu Ting laughed, "She's my younger sister, of course she's amazing."
That tone, that appearance, don't be too embarrassing.
Gu Jiu said: "The next thing, I have to ask Cousin Su. This is five hundred taels, please accept it."
Su Zheng waved his hand and refused, "It's too much. Twenty taels is enough."
Gu Jiu pursed his lips and smiled, with warmth in his eyes, "Twenty taels is not enough. Cousin Su still needs money to go to the capital to study, rent a house, eat, meet friends, and apprentice. I still think five hundred taels is too much money. Less, I’m afraid it’s not enough.”
Su Zheng quickly said: "How can I ask for money from cousin Xiaojiu, no, no."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Brother Su, don't rush to refuse. The five hundred taels, of which two hundred taels, is to thank Cousin Su for his generous help.
The other three hundred taels were lent to my cousin by my brother and me. In the future, when my cousin gets fame and money, he can just return the capital with interest to me. "
"Help is a matter of course, how can you ask for compensation. No, no."
Su Zheng still refused to accept the money.
Gu Ting got annoyed, "Cousin Su, don't be a bookworm. We are cousins, why are you being so polite?"
"Because I'm a cousin, I can't accept the money."
Gu Ting was very irritable, "You..."
Gu Jiu stopped Gu Ting and said to Su Zheng: "Cousin Su is a gentleman, brother and I both understand.
It's just that we are away from home, and my cousin has no money by his side. If we are ridiculed and abused, we will not bear it.
Could it be that Cousin Su dislikes that the money came from a bad way, and would rather ask strangers to borrow money than us? "
"I have absolutely no intention of that."
Gu Jiu said: "Since this is the case, Cousin Su might as well just accept the five hundred taels.
We're cousins and we're supposed to help each other out. In the future, my brother and I will still need to rely on Cousin Su in many places.
Unless Cousin Su doesn't want to have anything to do with us, he repeatedly refuses the five hundred taels. "
Su Zheng smiled wryly, "Cousin Xiaojiu is so powerful, if I don't accept the five hundred taels, it will be a heinous crime."
Gu Jiu blinked and smiled mischievously, "Cousin Su, just accept it."
Su Zheng nodded, and accepted the five hundred taels of silver note, "After I go back, I will write an IOU to cousin Xiaojiu."
Gu Jiu said, "That's not in a hurry. In the next few days, Cousin Su and Xie Xian will have to work hard."
Su Zheng smiled and said, "It's okay. I happen to live next door to Xie Xian, so it's convenient to come and go."
"Please leave everything to Cousin Su."
"Your cousin is welcome."
Gu Jiu still has 1,500 taels left in his hand, compared to the previous embarrassment, it is considered a huge sum of money, and he can do a lot of things.
How to use this thousand five hundred taels
Do you want to start a business
However, Gu Jiu was worried, how long would his father be the governor of Jinzhou
In case of half a year or one year later, my lord father will be transferred to other places, and it will be too troublesome to open a shop at this time.
Moreover, she has no useful people around her, who can help her open the shop, and has to hide it from everyone in the mansion.
After thinking about it, I can only temporarily give up the plan to open a shop.
The ox cart stopped at the back gate of the governor's mansion.
Gu Jiu had already changed into the previous maid's clothes.
After she bid farewell to her elder brother and Cousin Su, Qingmei led the way and quietly entered the mansion through the back door.
Take the back roads and avoid everyone.
When passing by the bamboo forest, I suddenly heard someone talking.
"What did my cousin ask me to come out for? If someone saw me, I should gossip."
"I haven't seen my cousin for a few days, and I miss her very much. I can't bear it for a while, please forgive me, cousin."
The voices were clearly Gu Yue and Xie Xian.
Gu Jiu raised her finger, "Hush!"
Qing Mei hastily covered her mouth, looking frightened.
How could the third girl meet Mr. Xie in such a remote place.
Could it be that he was doing something shameful.
