The people's market doesn't open every day, and Gu Yuqi can only wait until the fifteenth day of this month, which is only seven days.
There is only one rouge in Danxia Courtyard that is very useful, but she is still young, in order to prevent Liu Shi from making any more troubles, Liang Shi simply sent Chun Xing to Danxia Courtyard to take care of Gu Yuqi. It was only then that Gu Yuqi discovered that Chun Xing was not an ordinary maid, but a martial artist.
In her previous life, she hadn't noticed this.
Every night before going to bed, she pestered Chun Xing to tell some stories about Mrs. Liang when she was young. The more she listened, the more she felt that her mother was really wronged by being married. She shouldn't just shrink in this small Hou's mansion, she should have a wider world, so she can be unrestrained and unrestrained.
Gu Yuqi even thought about leaving the capital with her mother.
As soon as Gu Yuqi was free, she went to Wanxinzhai to accompany Mrs. Liang. With Gu Yuqi around her, and the venting before, her illness really got better.
Xu Shi received some advice from Gu Huaizhong, and Liu Shi also became a little more obedient, and came to pay her respects every day, even if she had nothing to say, she had to be friendly. Follow her. Gu Siyang suffered from Gu Yuqi's loss, and was beaten again by his father. He also knew that this eldest sister was not easy to mess with, so he looked at her with hatred in addition to being in awe. He has also learned the lesson from Gu Huaizhong, and now when he sees Mrs. Liang, he knows to call her mother. As for Liu's daughter, she was naturally named after her elder brother. However, Gu Siyang respectfully called Gu Yuqi her sister, but behind her back she rolled her eyes.
Gu Yuqi doesn't care about this. Are there not many people who hated her in the past life? What if a kid rolls his eyes a few times
Liu's subdued for the time being, the entire Hou Mansion also respected Liang and Gu Yuqi, even if it was only superficially. Mrs. Liu also pretended to hand over the key to the management of the mansion to Mrs. Liang, who did not shirk this time and accepted it. This Hou's mansion was originally hers, so there was nothing to be polite to Mrs. Liu. Liu Shi was so angry that she was about to gnash her back molars, but on the surface she could only smile.
Seeing the harmony in the back house, Gu Huai was also happy in the center. He specially invited his master to give lectures to Gu Yuqi. Chen Lao Hanlin is a retired Hanlin. Yes, but Gu Huaizhong said that Gu Yuqi was a child prodigy, so he became curious and wanted to come and see what the so-called child prodigy in the Hou's mansion was like, so he agreed to come to the Hou's mansion to teach Gu Yuqi.
Thanks to Gu Yuqi's hard work in practicing calligraphy in her previous life, she doesn't even need to practice calligraphy in this life. She can write well when she lifts a pen. A ten-year-old girl writes such elegant and graceful handwriting. Chen Hanlin was pleasantly surprised and fell in love with this A clever little girl, she teaches in the Hou Mansion with peace of mind. The more I teach, the more I feel that Gu Yuqi is smart and transparent, and Gu Yuqi has her own views and opinions, and she can even discuss literature with him. Chen Hanlin likes Gu Yuqi more and more. The female apprentice was full of praise.
Through Chen Hanlin's mouth, Gu Huaizhong quietly spread the name of Gu Yuqi as a genius, which Gu Yuqi didn't know about.
What she had done so hard in the previous life, Gu Huaizhong did it for her in this life, but she was kept in the dark.
Gu Yuqi learns easily, Chen Hanlin only comes to teach her for two hours a day, and Gu Yuqi spends the rest of the time practicing martial arts. She also has a little background in her previous life, and she is smart, so she can practice well and learn everything. Hurry up, she has worked hard in this life, and will make new progress every day.
Gu Huaizhong was born as a general, and he was very happy to see that his eldest daughter not only had outstanding literary talents, but also loved martial arts so much.
When he met Gu Yuqi at Liang's, he would wait patiently to watch his daughter punch some punches, and with his experience in fighting on the battlefield, he would give her some pointers when he was interested.
Gu Huai is willing to teach, but Gu Yuqi has no reason not to study hard. After coming and going, Gu Huaizhong also liked this daughter more and more. Seeing her daughter's beautiful and immature face full of seriousness and sternness, Gu Huai was very happy in the center, because Liu Yue felt that it was too hard for her child to learn martial arts, so Gu Siyang did not follow him but entered the Tai Academy to study. Originally, everything is low-grade, only reading is high, and it is not a day or two that the Chinese officials of the court are suppressing the generals. If his son could be successful in studying, he would also approve of it, but he couldn't help feeling regretful that no one would inherit his martial arts, and it was even more impossible for Gu Siyu to practice martial arts with him, and he loved her like a jewel.
Gu Huaizhong was surprised that this eldest daughter was willing to endure hardships.
After a few days, whenever Gu Huaizhong was free, he would go to Liang's Wanxinzhai to watch Gu Yuqi practice martial arts. Seeing it in her eyes, Liang Shi didn't know what it was like for her. If she had been happy before, now she has become indifferent to Gu Huaizhong, but she is also happy that Gu Yuqi can get Gu Huaizhong's joy, after all, Gu Huaizhong is Gu Yuqi's father. It's just that although Gu Huaizhong goes to Wanxinzhai every day, he never stays overnight, and he still goes back to Wangyueju every day. Liang never stayed, in her eyes, Gu Huaizhong, who belonged to her, was already dead.
There was peace and joy in Wanxinzhai, and Liu Yue gritted her teeth in hatred, wishing to smash her Mochizuki inside and out to relieve her anger. Now that she is competing with Mrs. Liang for a virtuous name, naturally she can't get angry first, and just wait and see, the future will last forever. Every day when Gu Huaizhong came over, she served her with utmost gentleness, which made Gu Huaizhong feel that the current life was simply too perfect for a moment.
It was the fifteenth day, and the human tooth market opened in the western suburbs outside the capital city. There were two types of teeth sold in the market, one was dead contract and the other was living contract. As the name implies, the death deed means that a person cannot redeem his body after selling it, and life and death are inevitable unless the owner is willing to release it. However, the contract of living has a limited number of years, and once the time expires, you can redeem yourself with some silver to restore your freedom.
Most of the market is selling contracts of work, after all, even if there is even a chance of survival, they are unwilling to risk their own lives. There are not too few death contracts, many of them are really unable to survive, and there are also abducted children. The silver taels of death contracts are much more than living contracts.
Liang took Gu Yuqi out of the gate of the Hou Mansion early in the morning, and also brought ten guards he brought from Jiangnan.
Gu Yuqi was wearing a pink brocade jacket, with a plain white pleated skirt underneath, and a brocade cape of the same color as the jacket. The cuffs and neckline of the jacket were inlaid with white mink fur, which made her little face more lively and supple. Her hair was braided by Liang Shi. The braids started to coil up from the top of her head, hanging down fluffy and softly behind her head. In the braids, Liang Shi also carefully added a pair of pink hair with pearls. With a belt, Gu Yuqi's whole person looks fresh and neat, yet luxurious and playful. She was afraid that Gu Yuqi would be cold, so after getting off the carriage, she put on the hood of Gu Yuqi's cloak, and she carried a little beauty carved in jade and made of snow.
She is holding Gu Yuqi with one hand, and covering the other hand in a hand mask made of white fox fur. She was entangled by Gu Yuqi in the morning. She also wore a light pink jacket, which complemented Gu Yuqi. There are two beautiful people, one big and one small. Walking on the road, it is like a dazzling scenery.
There are two guards and two maids in front of the way, and they are guarded by two guards and two maids, and behind them are six guards and two maids. conspicuous.
So when Liang Huaiyu and Gu Yuqi entered the market in the western suburbs, it caused a sensation. With good eyesight, she knew which noble lady from the mansion came out to buy someone in person, so she moved forward, but was blocked by the guards.
"Which family's wife is that? She's quite ostentatious, and she was born beautiful, but I don't know what the little girl she led was born. It would be nice if she was half as beautiful as her mother." A restaurant on the side of the road On the ground, there were two brocade-clothed teenagers standing by the window, the taller one said to the shorter one with a smile.
Gu Yuqi had a hood on her head, and the two of them couldn't see her from a high place.
The slightly short boy had cold eyebrows. He glanced lightly at a mother and daughter who were walking towards them. The morning light cast a faint halo behind the mother and daughter. The mother and daughter came hand in hand, and there was a faint The white snow is full of beauty like flowers in the clouds.
When Gu Yuqi and Liang Huaiyu walked into the teahouse, a cold wind suddenly blew up and rolled up the floating snow on the ground. The snow foam entered the eyes, making people close their eyes. The cold wind even blew off the hood on the little girl's head. The little girl couldn't help raising her head.
When her unfocused eyes fell on the window on the second floor by the street, her pupils suddenly tightened, and the smile on her face froze instantly.
Inside the quaint wooden window on the second floor, a young man in a dark blue robe stood by the window, with half of his body exposed. His black hair was like a waterfall, and he wore a golden crown. His skin was as moist and delicate as white jade, and his eyebrows were like knives Tailored, flying up obliquely, his starry eyes are like ice and snow, without any warmth, his thin lips are tightly pressed, watching her silently, just for a moment, Gu Yuqi feels that everything in the world has lost its brilliance, He was the only one in the vastness who was alive and cold, making her shudder.
It's him!
Gu Yuqi's heart palpitated for a while, and her fingertips lost warmth in an instant.
For just a moment, Gu Yuqi felt as if she had relived her last life for so long.
Every little bit of getting along with him is vivid, covered with a layer of blood red, more like the fire before her death, burning the bottom of her eyes, making the cold young man in front of her also become more intense.
"Ah?" Sensing her daughter's abnormality, Liang Huaiyu looked down at her daughter, and Gu Yuqi immediately came back to her senses. She pretended not to care and pulled the hood that was blown behind her head by the wind to cover her head and face, and then She smiled sweetly at her mother, "It's just that the wind blows the hat over."
"En." Liang Huaiyu didn't doubt him, and smiled and pulled her daughter forward.
The two brocade-robed teenagers upstairs obviously saw Gu Yuqi's appearance, and the one who was slightly taller couldn't help but clicked his tongue twice, "This little girl is so beautiful, she is better than blue in blue, given time, she will surely be the downfall of the country." Qingcheng, I don’t know which prefecture it comes from?”
"If fifth brother is interested, then younger brother will go and inquire about it." The cold young man said slowly, his voice was like ice water piercing a stone.
"Haha, that's not necessary, she's still young." The boy known as Fifth Brother laughed, shook his head and said, "It's just curiosity."
The cold young man stopped talking, and just followed the petite and tender figure with his eyes until the figure disappeared around the corner of the street, and the dark light flowed in the snowy eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
is her…
The boy pressed his fingers on the window sill slightly, and his knuckles became a little white.
"Yunke, I, Gu Yuqi, illuminate the road today with the light of fire, my blood as a guide, and all the gods in the sky as witnesses. If there is an afterlife, I will never see you again."
The voice that seemed to be filled with endless resentment, resentment and injustice was still in my ears, as if it happened just now, but it seemed that it had been such a long time for a lifetime, so long that even he himself was about to forget it, but was caught in front of his eyes. The little figure of this person aroused again.
A cold smile gradually overflowed from the young man's lips, never seeing each other forever? Um? What was that just now
"What is Xiao Qi thinking?" Yun Yi's voice came from beside him, Yun Ke lowered his head slightly, and replied flatly, "It's nothing."
"Let's go, follow me downstairs to the market." After Yun Yi finished speaking, he walked in front, and Yun Ke followed.
Did he see himself just now? Gu Yuqi's mind was in chaos, and she followed her mother's footsteps mechanically.
It was not in this kind of place that she met him for the first time in her previous life.
Gu Yuqi only felt that she was short of breath for a while, as if she was about to have a heart attack.
But she had never been here in the last life, so thinking about it, she felt a little better. It must be because of her change that she changed the place where she first met him. Maybe in this life, I don't have to pester him anymore, that's very good, very good.
Gu Yuqi couldn't help comforting herself from the bottom of her heart.
The first priority is to pave the way for yourself! paving! Gu Yuqi sorted out some clues in the chaos of her thoughts, and temporarily put aside the disturbance from Yun Ke just now.
She raised her eyes and looked at both sides of the street market. This place will become a crowd market on the fifteenth day of every month, and some people will bring those prostituted children or laborers here for selection.
Gu Yuqi looked at the people sitting or standing on both sides, and she couldn't help but feel a little sad in her heart. Some of them were young, some were old, some had numb eyes, some showed timid eyes, and some were crying, but no matter how they behaved No matter what, they are no longer people in the eyes of others, but just a piece of goods.
She is not the Virgin, she can't save them, she can only let them go with the tide.
Just as her gaze passed over those "goods" one by one, a sudden voice came to her ears, causing her to look back.
"Stinky boy! What do you think your father sold you here for! How dare you pick and choose! What about the brothel? Maybe someone will take a fancy to you and take you to eat and drink spicy food! You don't know how to compliment!" A rude The sound came, followed by the sound of two whips falling on the flesh.
The whip fell on the back of a skinny child. The winter clothes on the child were already worn out. After two whips, not only the clothes were torn, but blood was faintly leaking.
"What's the matter? Are you still pretending to be an uncle here? It's up to you to pick and choose!" the big man continued to yell and curse, "Always looking for death and life! Every time I was sent back! I beat you to death today, just as a The silver that bought you back then was thrown into the water!" The whip fell heavily on the child's back like raindrops.
The people next to him just watched numbly, and no one went up to stop it.
That child was good enough, he was beaten to a bloody mess, and he didn't say a word or move at all. Just when Gu Yuqi thought that the child had already been beaten to death, the child suddenly raised his face and looked at him. Gu Yuqi.
Under the disheveled hair, he couldn't see his face clearly, only a pair of eyes that were dull but full of stubbornness and indifference.
He only glanced at Gu Yuqi before lowering his eyes, but Gu Yuqi's heart jumped involuntarily.
She recognized those eyes.
"Mother!" Gu Yuqi anxiously tugged Liang Huaiyu's hand, pointed at the child and shouted to her mother, "Buy him! I want him!"
