MTL - Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World-Chapter 288 close up

   Ziluo's face was white and she didn't speak. Gu Jingyun looked at her lightly, his eyes gradually became sharp, the coercion pressed down on her like a big stone, Ziluo's face was pale, and she was lying on the ground.

Even the purple shirt on the side was crushed and knelt on the ground with a "thump", she said with a trembling voice: "This, this is all passed down in private, when the servants saw that Mrs. Biao suddenly disappeared, they were fascinated for a while. That's when I thought that Mrs. Biao was captured by demons and ghosts."

   "Then what rumors do you have in private?"

Zishan hesitated, she seemed to take a look at Ziluo, but she didn't dare to turn her eyes under the gaze of Young Master Biao, and finally could only helplessly say: "Some people say that the main house has been built for more than 800 years, and I don't know where to send it. No matter how many masters go, there are always those who are unwilling to reincarnate. In the past, there were people living in the main house, guests came and went, and the yang was full. Even if they were unwilling, those ghosts did not dare to make trouble, but now the main house has been abandoned for many years. The five masters and five grandmothers only dare to live in the southwest corner adjacent to the outsiders."

Zishan said with a trembling voice: "Before, the servant was cutting lantern flowers, and when she took the scissors, Mrs. Ming was clearly sitting on the soft couch, while Ziluo was picking up snacks in the small kitchen. The kitchen door is facing this side. If someone goes out She will see it. But just a short while after I cut the lanterns, Mrs. Kung Fu Biao disappeared, and Ziluo said that she didn't see anyone going out, and only felt a gust of wind when she entered the door. "

   Touching her tears, she said, "The wind only blows in from the outside of the door, how can it blow from the inside out? And Mrs. Biao's shoes are still on the ground, so we mistakenly thought that Mrs. Biao was taken away."

   Gu Jingyun looked down at the embroidered shoes on the ground, Li Baolu shrank her feet and hid her dirty little feet under her skirt, as if she was not the one who ran out barefoot.

   Ziluo saw that Zishan had said everything, and then continued: "The slaves made a fuss about this, and frightened the young master and the wife. The slaves are willing to accept the punishment."

   Zishan pouted, why are they scary? It was obviously Mrs. Biao to frighten them, but when did Mrs. Biao run out, why didn't she and Ziluo notice it at all?

   "Is the rumor of the resentful ghost spread only among the servants of your second house, or is it spread by the servants of the entire Qinjia Village?"

   Ziluo couldn't help clenching her fists, shaking her lips, and still lowered her head under Gu Jingyun's gaze: "The whole Qinjia Village is spreading the word."

   "Isn't it possible that no one will reach the master's ear?"

   Zishan also felt that something was wrong, so he shrank his neck and dared not speak.

   Seeing Ziluo's face pale and shaky, Li Baolu coughed lightly and asked softly, "Can someone be punished for spreading these rumors?"

"Yes," Ziluo said in a low voice: "There are servants who have been punished in each room, and even the second room has also been attacked several times. Although the rumors have been suppressed, everyone will still spread it in private. When the weather was cloudy and rainy, everyone always felt that the main house was gloomy, as if someone was crying inside. That's why the patriarch opened the big garden and let the people of Qinjia Village play, adding some yang energy, so that the ghosts did not dare to come out. Scary."

   Gu Jingyun said meaningfully: "Is it enough as long as the yang qi is enough?"

   Ziluo and Zishan nodded again and again and said, "Yes, as long as there is enough yang energy, it is said that ghosts are most afraid of people's yang energy, and they will not dare to appear in places where there are many people."

  Gu Jingyun got up, flipped his robe in disappointment and said, "Have fun, I'm going to the study."

  Li Baolu waved to him, "Goodbye!"

  Gu Jingyun ignored her and went straight away.

Ziluo and Zishan were dumbfounded, not knowing what Mrs. Biao's action meant, Li Baolu didn't explain, but jumped off the soft couch to help them up, "Get up, or just run out for a while. Well, look at you scared."

Zi Luo lowered her head and did not speak. Compared with her fear of ghosts, she was more afraid of Young Master Biao, because the ghosts would not necessarily kill her. Involuntarily shivered.

   Zishan was also afraid of Gu Jingyun, but she was more nervous. Seeing that Gu Jingyun was gone and Li Baolu was gentle, she quickly recovered. As soon as she recovered, she saw Li Baolu's bare feet. She hurriedly pushed Li Baolu onto the couch with an "Oops", "Mrs. Biao, how can you walk on the ground with bare feet? It's winter now."

   Ziluo also quickly recovered, turned around and ran out, "My servant, I'm going to draw hot water to wash your feet."

  The two girls circled around Li Baolu, while in the study, Gu Jingyun was looking at Mo Wang and Qin Bin.

  The two knelt on the ground when they saw Gu Jingyun entering the door, and waited until Gu Jingyun sat down and called them up before they got up.

"Before I came, my uncle gave me a list of people who wanted to return back then, and the names of the two of you were in it. It's just that I've been in Qinjia Village for a while, and I even spread the word about my uncle's vindication. Come on, you didn't come to the door until today, I thought you didn't want to come back. After all, being a slave is not good enough to be a good citizen."

The two immediately knelt down again, and explained while apologizing: "The servant wanted to come to see the son when he entered the village, but all the intersections in the village were guarded, and it was impossible to think about coming to the main house, and recently the son has been in and out. There are also people following, so..."

   Gu Jingyun asked indifferently, "That's why Qin's people stopped you from seeing me?"

   Qin Bin said: "Not all of them, most of them were done by people who had previously managed fields and shops. The rest were either out of love or unwilling to go into the muddy waters and turned a blind eye."

   "Then how did you come to the main house today?"

"Xiao Xiao heard that the patriarch was going to convene everyone to discuss the candidates for the successor, and everyone's attention was diverted, and the inspection of passing personnel and vehicles was not so strict. Xiao and Mo Wang bribed a person who delivered vegetables to the second room. The same clan, sneaked in in the vegetable basket."

Qin Bin is not a slave, but a member of the Qin clan, but he is a sideline and has a very hard life. I don't know why. His family is obviously prosperous and has no bad hobbies. . The land left by the ancestors was all spent in his father's time, and there was no way, their family could only grow the farmland.

  But life is difficult when they have fields and land, let alone when they have no fields and no land.

   Fortunately, ethnic studies are free for the clansmen, although they need to buy books, paper, ink, pen and inkstone by themselves, at least they don’t need to be repaired, and they even include daily lunch.

  If you have good grades, you can get the previous ranking and bonus in each final exam.

   And impoverished families like Qin Bin also get some subsidies every year, and he relied on these subsidies and people to buy second-hand enlightenment books to study in the clan.

  In addition to having a lot of fields, Qin has a lot of books. Almost every household has books on enlightenment. It is easy to buy a second-hand enlightenment book.

   And Qin Bin is still very hardworking and clever. When he was in school, he secretly helped rich classmates who didn't like to study to do their homework for some pocket money.

  Unfortunately, the further back he went, the more money he spent on studying. He read for four years, recognized all the characters, and learned some practical arithmetic.

   Direct branch and side branch are not the same.

   The offspring are prosperous, and the family's property is not enough to be taken care of by their own descendants. How can they use the same family?

  However, it has been passed down through several generations, and the huge family business is supported by only one person. Although the servants are easy to use, there are some businesses and things that the servants are not easy to come forward with, which requires them.

   Many of the children from the poor family like him love to go to the direct branch to find jobs. If they do well, the direct branch will release some property to send them when they are old, which is a reward for their hard work over the years.

   Qin Bin ran for these.

  The Qin family is indeed a prominent family in Runing, but there are also poor people among the wealthy family. The second family's wife, Jiang family, was in a better situation when she married, so she never put these impoverished Qin family members in her eyes.

   But she didn't know that the most well-informed people were these Ming masters, who had a good status, but were poor and had to rely on the same family who delivered vegetables to each house, sent game and planted trees and flowers.

   Qin Bin learned from these same clansmen that the clan wanted to negotiate the choice of a step-son for the descendant, and also bought the clan brother Qin Laizi, who delivered vegetables to the second house, and sneaked in.

Qin Bin glanced at Gu Jingyun carefully, and said in a low voice, "The elders of the I heard that the elders plan to select ten children under the age of ten and send them to the capital after the spring. If you are satisfied with them, you will be able to adopt after a year or two.”

   Gu Jingyun said meaningfully: "Your news is well-informed."

   Qin Bin said: "Because the succession of a descendant is a major event, it is not the second room or which room to decide, so the clan members who have school-age children in the family have been notified, and it is not difficult to find out the news."

  Gu Jingyun nodded lightly and asked, "Have you made up your mind to come to me?"

Gu Jingyun looked at them and said: "You should know that the most unacceptable thing for the descendants is betrayal, and my uncle will not return to Runing in the short term, you can only fight against these people in Runing yourself. I don't need to repeat how difficult it is. Now, let me just say one thing, I can't help you after the property is in your hands, it's a loss, you know the rules of my heirs, if you make a profit," Gu Jingyun stared at them and said, "I can't give other promises, Qin Bin, I can still do it when you get old and give you an estate, or let your grandson study in Beijing. Don’t forget, it’s impossible for you to sign a deed to redeem yourself, but I can also promise to Your grandson has a chance, if they really have the ability to do imperial examinations, I don't mind helping the leader, and if they don't have the ability, I can also give him an estate."

  Qin Bin and Mo Wang both had bright eyes, knelt down on the ground excitedly and said, "I am willing to serve the master, and I am willing to serve the son!"

   They came here at risk, firstly because of love, and secondly because of the love and righteousness and generous rewards of the descendants?

   But they didn't expect that Young Master Biao would be so generous, and actually promised to give their grandson a road to prosperity. If their grandsons can really pass the exam, then their families can also change their families and honor their ancestors?

   Especially Mo Wang, he was so excited that he almost shed tears. He is a servant of the world, and he has been a slave for seven generations. If his grandson can really become an official...
