The biography of Gu Qi, a poor girl

After Han Pingyang entered the backyard of the government office, he was quickly led into the flower hall by a maid.

In the flower hall, a middle-aged charming woman wearing a dark vermilion skirt and a gray-blue trousers is making new tea with the help of a maid beside her.Hearing footsteps outside the door, the woman raised her head slightly: "Here we are."

"Big sister." Han Pingyang made a salute, and wiped away the casual look on his face before entering the door.

"Sit down." Lady Fengyun greeted, but did not stop her movements.

Han Pingyang didn't dare to say anything, just sat aside and waited quietly.

After a long time, the maid next to the woman brought the freshly brewed tea. The woman went into the back room to change clothes and clean her hands before she came out and sat aside and said, "Jieshan, have you been to that newly opened shopping mall in the south of the city?"

Han Pingyang (son, Jieshan): "I went there early yesterday, but I didn't see the young owner of the Qi family that my elder sister mentioned, but I met Li Changshun, the big shopkeeper of the mall."

"Do they know your identity?" the woman asked again.

Han Pingyang shook his head: "The shopkeeper only knows that I am an ordinary rich man in the county."

The woman took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly: "Your Han family is very powerful in Lushan County. If the merchants are interested, they can know your identity by just asking around. But it doesn't matter. The Han family's There is nothing you can’t tell people about your identity.”

Seeing Han Pingyang nodding, the woman asked again: "Do my aunt and uncle know about this?"

"My younger brother didn't tell the old man and the old lady, and the rest of the family didn't know about it either." Han Pingyang said truthfully.

The woman showed a satisfied look on her face: "Uncle and aunt are getting old, so these are not things they need to worry about. Your brother-in-law has been an official in Lushan County these years. I know. It’s just that it’s the most difficult year in Lushan County right now. If you do well this year, you and my family will benefit. But if you make a mistake, you will not know who is waiting for your brother-in-law What will it be."

"Don't worry, elder sister, younger brother knows the pros and cons."

The woman smiled gently: "Among my sister's natal relatives, your elder brother-in-law is the one who values ​​you the most. Naturally, my sister has nothing to worry about. It's just that there are some things that your elder brother-in-law is inconvenient to do, so I can only trouble you." Help your eldest brother-in-law to keep an eye on it.

Now that Lushan County is in ruins, and there are foreign merchants settled in, it is a good thing to be willing to provide convenience to the people of Lushan County, but these foreign merchants are not people who know the basics after all.Your brother-in-law is also afraid that if they have evil intentions and cause trouble, that's why they asked you to help take care of them. "

"Brother-in-law is worried." Han Pingyang hesitated for a moment and said: "The way of doing business in Sihai Commercial Market is a little different from all the shops in Lushan County in the past. In addition, I talked to the big shopkeeper of the commercial market for a few words. I feel that the person's words and deeds are full of heroism, but he is extremely methodical in his actions, and he is not a reckless person."

"Your brother-in-law said that those people's backgrounds are not easy, so from what you can see, they are more likely to help Hongwentang's people?"

"This...it's not easy to compare. If it is said that they have a strong background and act ruthlessly, these people may not be able to compare with those of the Walker Gang. But if it is a means of doing business, the Walker Gang's people may not be able to catch up with their flattery." .”

Gu Qi knew about the sycamore tree in the backyard of the Zhou family that Gu Danian was talking about, but it was a pity that it lost all its leaves two years ago, and now it is so withered that it doesn't look like it.If it hadn't been too old and those intertwined old roots were too deep, I'm afraid it would have been eaten by the famished victims who fled to the town long ago.

As for the old well next to the phoenix tree with the inscription Zhou, it was dry three years ago, and now the loess is almost half covered.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Gu Danian was still babbling and asking questions, but Gu Qi kept on burning the fire and didn't answer.Fortunately, Gu Danian didn't care whether his daughter answered his words, he just felt that some words were stuck in his chest and he felt uncomfortable if he didn't talk about them.

In fact, Gu Danian believed what his daughter said earlier, knowing that the Zhou family really wanted to escape, and also knew that the three bundles of firewood he had chopped for a day would definitely not be sold.

But there are some things that are just like this, but you can’t accept it even after you believe in them for a while.

Gu Qi knew that Gu Danian was feeling uncomfortable, so he didn't interrupt him and let him babble, he only waited until the wild vegetable leaves and stewed tree roots in the pot were fully boiled before saying:

"Father, the root of the tree is boiled. Let's fill our stomachs first. In the afternoon, I will carry these three bundles of firewood to Zhou's house and ask them. If they still want it, they can keep it. If they don't want it, I will go to another house to ask them."

"What if I can't sell it?" Gu Danian frowned and said anxiously.

"Whether it sells or not, we have to go tomorrow." Gu Qi filled a bowl of root soup in the pot for Gu Danian, and filled it with two spoonfuls of wild vegetable leaves.

"Let's go again, where are we going! Where can we go!" Gu Danian couldn't help but sighed, they had been walking for three months from Gujia Village to Liu County, From Liu County to the current Linping Town, it took more than half of the Yuzhou Prefecture, how come it hasn't come to an end yet.

"Go where there is food, go where there is a way to survive." Gu Qi's voice was a little empty, as if he was not talking to Gu Danian but to himself:

"The residents in Linping Town are now [-] to [-]% empty. If God doesn't rain, I'm afraid Xiao'an River outside Linping Town won't be able to last for a few months.

Father, the tree roots at the foot of the mountain were dug up by the victims a few days ago, and there are not many left on the Linping Mountain. We must leave tomorrow morning. "

"No, if you want to live, you have to go, and the day when you reach the Palace of the King of Hell is the end."

It was not the first day for Gu Danian to say such frustrating words, and Gu Qi has been listening to Gu Danian saying such words intermittently since the day he came in.Now that three months have passed, Gu Danian has not seen even the slightest thought of committing suicide. He also drank most of the root and wild vegetable soup he cooked every day, and then he cursed and gave the rest to himself.

No, while Gu Danian scolded God despondently, he swiftly scalded the leafy vegetables, leaves and roots in the pot and scraped them clean.Seeing that no drop could come out, he reluctantly handed back the empty pot in his hand to Gu Qi, thinking about it but unwilling, couldn't help but raised his voice and angrily said:

"Qi Yatou, why are there so few vegetable root soups today? It's half as much as yesterday's. What are you thinking about all day long? Are you lazy?"

Gu Qi didn't answer, but casually found an old dead tree and sat down on the spot, spat on the dry yellow land, and looked at Gu Danian with a sneer, only looking at Gu Danian's heart hair fear.After a while, he said in a slow voice:

"Girl, don't blame Dad for eating too much. You look at the three bundles of firewood under Dad's feet, but they have been busy from yesterday to today.
