In the past few days, in the inner courtyard of the Governor's Mansion, everyone was as quiet as a chicken.
Because Xie Shi is pregnant, no one dares to touch Xie Shi's bad head at this time and make trouble on purpose.
Even Gu Yue, who was the most rambunctious, settled down because he was punished to think behind closed doors.
On the other hand, Gu Jiu, after three or two days of raising her, finally recovered from her cold, and felt refreshed.
In the middle of the afternoon, the weather is hot.
Gu Jiu drank a glass of watermelon juice, but Qing Mei stopped him from drinking it.
"The girl is weak, so she can't drink too much."
Gu Jiu wrinkled her nose, "Okay, I won't drink much. Bring me the book on the third row on the leftmost side of the bookcase."
Qing Mei took the book and put it in Gu Jiu's hand.
Gu Jiu leaned against the window, shaking the round fan while reading a book.
Jiang Yan stood at the door with her homework in hand.
Qingmei let out a "shh", telling Jiang Yan not to disturb Gu Jiu.
"Is Jiang Yan here? Let her in."
Only then did Qingmei let Jiang Yan into the study.
Gu Jiu put down the book in his hand, and fanned the round fan in his hand slowly, "Swallow is here, have you finished your homework?"
Jiang Yan nodded, bowed and handed in her homework, "This is the homework of a servant girl, please check it."
Gu Jiu picked up Jiang Yan's homework and flipped through the pages.
Jiang Yan's handwriting is like a child's handwriting.
But the advantage lies in the neat handwriting. It can be seen that they have worked hard.
Such progress in such a short period of time is already remarkable.
After all, writing a good handwriting is not something that happens overnight.
Gu Jiu nodded, and put the homework on the table. Then she winked at Qingmei.
Qingmei knew the fun, and quietly left the room.
In the study room, only Gu Jiu and Jiang Yan were left.
Jiang Yan was a little uneasy, "Girl, what did this servant do wrong?"
Gu Jiu took a sip of tea, thought it over, and asked, "Jiang Yan, has your ambition changed?"
Jiang Yan was a little dazed.
Gu Jiu smiled softly and said, "You just need to answer yes or no."
Jiang Yan took a deep breath and nodded heavily, "The ambition of the servant has never changed."
Gu Jiu nodded, "That's great. Now there is an opportunity right in front of you."
Jiang Yan's whole body tensed up, looking at Gu Jiu, her palms began to sweat. What kind of opportunity did the girl talk about.
Gu Jiu didn't give a shit, and said straight to the point: "Next month, a group of beauties will depart from the northwest and be sent to the capital. The final destination should be the imperial palace. Would you like to go?"
"Emperor, the palace?"
Jiang Yan's heart beat faster, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, her mouth was dry, she licked her lips involuntarily, feeling like she was almost speechless.
Gu Jiu nodded, "Yes, the imperial palace. According to what I know, the final destination of these beauties is the imperial palace.
As for whether there will be an accident in the middle, no one can tell. In case of an accident, you people will naturally not be able to enter the palace.
This is an opportunity with corresponding risks. Whether or not to seize this opportunity is up to you to decide. "
Jiang Yan struggled, struggled, and hesitated, "Girl, if something unexpected happens on the way, what will happen to the servant girl? Can I return to the girl to serve her?"
Gu Jiu shook her head slowly, and said without emotion: "If an accident really happens, I don't know what will happen to you.
From the day you left the Governor's Mansion, you are no longer mine. Therefore, you can no longer return to my side to serve. This matter must be decided by yourself. "
Jiang Yan looked at Gu Jiu, "Miss, do you think the slaves should go?"
Gu Jiu remained expressionless, "You have to ask yourself this question. Ask your own heart, do you want to go?"
Jiang Yan's mouth was dry, her heartbeat was always in a state of overload, and her whole body was stiff.
She asked in a low voice, "Can I really enter the palace?"
Gu Jiu said: "If everything goes well, they will naturally be able to enter the palace. As far as I know, these beauties are specially sent to the capital to honor His Majesty."
Jiang Yan's face was red and her ears were red, her heart was beating so fast that she felt short of breath. She always felt that the room was too hot, so hot that she couldn't breathe.
She clenched her hands tightly, feeling that the back of her clothes had been soaked in sweat.
After pondering for a long time, she finally said affirmatively: "Girl, I want to go."
Gu Jiu raised her eyes and stared at Jiang Yan, "Have you thought it through?"
Jiang Yan nodded emphatically, "Your servant has thought it through. I want to give it a go."
Gu Jiu nodded, "It's good if you think about it clearly. You have to remember that after taking this path, you have no way out. No matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, you can only rely on yourself."
Because of these words, Jiang Yan's complexion became heavy, and she said with difficulty: "Thank you for reminding me, my servant is ready, and I will not regret it."
Gu Jiu stared at her, and said expressionlessly: "In this case, you go back and make preparations, and I will send you out of the house in a few days. If you need to bring something home, you can tell Qingmei. She will help you it is good."
"Thank you girl."
Jiang Yan suddenly knelt down, faced Gu Jiu, and kowtowed three times.
Gu Jiu frowned slightly.
Jiang Yan said excitedly: "These days, thank you for taking care of the girl. The kindness that the girl has shown to the servant will never be forgotten by the servant. If the servant has a future in the future, the servant will definitely repay the kindness of the girl."
"What do you say, get up. You know all the commonly used characters. Read more books and practice calligraphy when you have time. Reading and literacy will help you no matter where you go. I hope that one day you will think about it Don’t forget your original intention.”
Jiang Yan choked with sobs and said, "The servant will always remember the girl's teaching."
Gu Jiu reminded again: "Don't tell anyone about this matter. For your fellow countryman Guo Taohua, you can find another reason to prevaricate, so as not to show any traces."
"The servant understands."
Jiang Yan wiped away her tears, stood up, and left the study in silence.
Qingmei came in from the outside and asked, "Miss, do you really want to send swallows into the palace?"
Gu Jiu laughed at himself, "I have no ability to send her into the palace. This trip to the capital depends entirely on her own luck. If everything goes well and she finally enters the palace, everything is just the beginning. The palace is not an ordinary person A place to survive."
Qingmei felt a little melancholy, "Yanzi is fine, and I thought that I could continue to be sisters and serve the girl together in the future. Unexpectedly, she will leave in a blink of an eye."
Gu Jiu laughed, "You two haven't been together for long, and you're actually reluctant to part with her. I remember that you used to call her a vixen and look down on her."
Qingmei twitched a bit, and then said: "One moment and another moment. I didn't know Yanzi before, so I thought she was a person who climbs dragons and phoenixes.
Of course, she sold herself as a maid just to cling to Gao Zhi. However, she is different from ordinary people who cling to high branches.
The servant girl couldn't explain it either, but after getting to know her, she wouldn't find her annoying. "
Gu Jiu said with a smile: "Although she clings to high branches, she is very honest and sincere, and she is also very diligent in doing things.
What's more, she didn't dig around, hold high and step down in order to cling to high branches. On the contrary, he is more law-abiding than ordinary people. "
Qingmei nodded frequently, "As the girl said, that's it. That's why the servants don't hate her. It's a pity to think that she is going to leave."
Gu Jiu said softly: "There's nothing to regret, this is the path she chose."
Qing Zhu came in from the outside, "Girl, the master sent someone over and asked the girl to go to the study in the outer courtyard immediately."
"Master sent someone to tell me to go to the study in the outer courtyard?"
"Exactly."
Gu Jiu and Qing Mei exchanged glances, could it be that the news of Pei Yun being drugged has already reached Master Gu's ears.
