Rebirth of marriage

On the way back to the other courtyard, Xie Jiu asked Gu Xiao, "Are Wu Wanqing's eyes and voice natural?"

"I heard it was caused by dystocia during birth." Gu Xiao held her hand and walked forward, asking, "Are you concerned about her?"

Xie Jiu stopped and looked at Gu Xiao, "When I saw her, I felt very kind. When her hands touched my face, I longed that her eyes could be seen and her voice could speak. Come."

After returning from rebirth, Xie Jiu admits that he is not a kind-hearted person.

She had known about Wu Wanqing's situation for a long time. There were countless pitiful people in the world, and she had no worries. But when she saw her today, she felt sorry for her inexplicably.

Xie Jiu didn't know where this feeling came from, so she chose to follow her heart.

The rest of the words were not spoken, but Gu Xiao understood what she meant, and he said, "I'll ask the doctor to take a look at her in two days."

"Marquis Wu should have hired a doctor for her before." Xie Jiu heard that Marquis Wu and his family loved Wu Wanqing very much. It made no sense that they were in the capital and didn't hire a doctor for her.

Gu Xiao was quite helpless, "Old Marquis Wu was granted a title based on his military merits. He has no ancestral roots and no one who is good at making a living. The whole family only eats rewards and salaries from the imperial court.

Money will die if you don't take care of it. It will become less and less as it is used, and there will be more and more people. As time goes by, life will become poorer.

In the generation of Marquis Wu, there was a second master Wu who was somewhat good at managing money, but died young. Even without this exile, they would have been starving in the capital, and they might not have had much money to hire a good doctor for her. . "

Previously, he let Wu Wanqing live in the palace because he didn't want Wu Hou's family to be taken advantage of by the queen, so he didn't put any thought into her. Now that Xie Jiu hopes she will be well, he will take care of her.

Xie Jiu nodded, "I'll ask Lin Shu to help me take a look later."

I always feel more at ease doing this.

Gu Xiao didn't care much about the affairs of the woman next to him. He decided to call a doctor for her. He was doing his best. He squatted down in front of Xie Jiu and said, "Come up."

I have to remove the poison tomorrow, so it would be nice to be less tired.

The only woman he was willing to worry about was Xie Jiu.

Except for Lin Shu, everyone else didn't know what Xie Jiu and the others were doing when they returned to the palace. Xie Jiu didn't want them to worry, so he smiled and passed away vaguely.

After everyone had dinner together, Gu Xiao and the old censor went to the study.

Xie Jiu knew that they were going to talk about the old censor's trip to the capital. She was pulled into the room by Lin Shu. Lin Shu asked with concern, "Do you see any problem?"

Xie Jiu told her about the poison.

"You bastard, the Yang family is really a bunch of trouble." Lin Shu was so angry that he cursed.

Xie Jiu comforted her with a few words, and then asked her to see Wu Wanqing.

Lin Shu said casually, "Tomorrow, I will accompany you when you undo the poison, and I will show her a look on the way."

She regarded Xie Jiu as a relative, and when she heard that the woman had to endure the pain of childbirth, she felt a little panicked, so she had to stay by her side to feel at ease.

Xie Jiu wanted to say no, but seeing her face full of worry, he agreed.

After coming out of Lin Shu's house, she went back to her room, took the account books and letters she had collected from Magistrate Yu's house, and went to the study.

Gu Xiao came to open the door himself.

When the old censor saw her coming, he smiled and said, "Xiao'er will secretly send someone to escort me back to the capital. Your grandmother will trouble you to take care of me."

He smiled with wrinkles all over his face and emphasized the word Xiaoer and grandma, quite show off.

Thank you for the wine and smile.

When they first had dinner, he always called him "Prince". This was his concept of respect and inferiority. Now it must be Gu Xiao who changed his tone. This was the closeness between his grandson and him. How could the boss be unhappy.

"Don't worry, we will take good care of her, and you should be careful." Xie Jiu responded with a smile and handed the package to him.

She had previously discussed the matter with Magistrate Yu with the old censor.

The old censor knew the importance of the thing, so he took it with both hands, suppressed a smile, said solemnly, "The people don't have enough to eat, and the treasury is empty, but they feed these worms."

Xie Jiu felt that no matter whether the old censor had selfish motives in going to the capital, at least his heart for the common people was genuine.

The three of them talked again in the study and then took a rest.

Early the next morning, Xie Jiu and his party returned to Lin Shu's house through the secret passage. Not long after everyone arrived, Lu Hongyuan and his wife also arrived with Lu Zhuo.

Both parties were sincere, and the Lu family was full of sincerity. The apprenticeship ceremony went smoothly.

After Lu Zhuo kowtowed three times, he formally accepted Old Censor Lin as his teacher. On the eighth day of the lunar month, he returned to the capital with him.

Because he was apprenticed to a teacher today, Xie Jiu kept the three Lu family members at home for lunch. When Lu's mother was helping the old lady and the others cook, Xie Jiu called Lu Hongyuan aside.

She asked Lu Hongyuan and his wife to return to Beijing together this time, in the name of following her son, but in fact, she was spreading Jiuxiao Pavilion's business and intelligence network in the capital in advance.

When Lu Hongyuan heard this, he had a bold suspicion in his heart, "Is the girl going back to the capital?"

Xie Jiu nodded, "I will leave for the capital around the end of March, so I have to ask Sir to work harder and handle the related matters properly."

Her affirmative attitude made Lu Hongyuan very happy. Xie Jiu was a fugitive, and her being able to return to the capital meant that she was pardoned. The fact that she was so firm a few months later showed that she had a great heart.

When he thought about how even the upright old censor and his wife treated her very kindly, even doting on her, he felt that Xie Jiu was capable, and maybe what he had secretly hoped for would come true.

With a bright look in his eyes, he cupped his hands and said, "Lu will live up to the girl's trust."

Xie Jiu helped him weakly. She could guess a thing or two about Lu Hongyuan's thoughts. On the surface, the Lu family would never participate in partisanship and would only be loyal to the Great Xiazi.

But the third prince's hatred for killing his whole family was deeply rooted in his heart. They did not want such a person to sit on the throne, so he pinned his hopes on Gu Xiao.

And he felt that Xie Jing would be the one who helped Gu Xiao succeed.

Xie Jiu just pretended that he didn't know what he was thinking, and told Lu Laoer to personally take people to the Beast Mountain to contact Lou Qi, transport the coal and stone there back to Yuyouguan, and contact Feng Zhilan and the others in the capital. Regarding related matters, she left him to his own devices and she went into the kitchen to help.

After lunch was over and the three Lu family members left, Li Sheng came.

Years ago, based on the information compiled by Li Sheng and others, she selected 30 people in the exile area. These 30 people were all exiled here by their parents or ancestors. When their parents or ancestors died, they were also removed from the prisoner register and became ordinary people.

Most of them lived a miserable life, but they were unwilling to stay here for generations. Xie Jiu brought Li Sheng into contact with these people. They were willing to sell themselves to Jiuxiao Pavilion. Their families still stayed in Yuyouguan and could become Xie Jiu's hostages at any time.

Li Sheng came to invite Xie Jiu to see those people in person and sign the deed of sale.

Xie Jiu followed Li Sheng into the house and saw thirty men and women standing respectfully in two rows. When her eyes fell on one of them, her eyes lit up.
