Gu Jiu picked up the teacup and took a sip.
She asked Shun Zi, "Are you sure San Gui said that if Xie Xian married me and waited for me to die in two years, he would get a dowry for free?"
Shun Zi was a little nervous and nodded cautiously. "I'm sure that's what San Gui said."
Gu Ting was furious and pounded the table with his fist. "Xie Xian is too much; there is no good person in the Xie family. Before the marriage is settled, he has already started calculating my sister's dowry. He even wants my sister's life. I wish I could kill Xie Xian with a knife. "
"Brother, calm down."
Gu Jiu's face was calm, neither sad nor happy.
Su Zheng sighed secretly. It was rare that cousin Xiao Jiu was young and remained calm in the face of difficulties.
Gu Jiu smiled. If the original owner hadn't died and was tricked into marrying Xie Xian, given her physical condition and her tendency to keep everything to herself, it was very likely that she would have died of illness two years after the marriage.
By then, Xie Xian would really be able to get a dowry for free.
But she is not the original owner, so how can she let Xie get her wish?
Xie wanted to manipulate her marriage and sent her away early.
If she didn't reciprocate, she would be doing herself a disservice.
Whether in the previous life or in this life, Gu Jiu is a person who cannot tolerate any grievance.
She can't tolerate being plotted against like this.
She looked at Shun Zi and said, "Thank you for your hard work. You go down first."
"Servant, take his leave."
Shun Zi retreated, and Qing Mei handed him a purse filled with copper coins. "My young lady gave you this as a reward."
Huh?
Shun Zi was surprised.
Qing Mei pursed her lips and smiled, "Don't refuse. My young lady specifically asked me to thank you very much."
Shun Zi laughed sheepishly, "The young lady has even figured out; that's amazing."
Qing Mei smiled and said, "The young master Su is busy studying, so you must be the one who is asking for information. My young has already expected it."
Shun Zi smiled and took the purse. "Thank you for the reward."
In the house.
Gu Ting was anxious and angry. "Sister, what do you think we should do about this? Just give your orders whether Xie Xian should be killed or cut into pieces."
Gu Jiu laughed, "Brother, don't be anxious. It's just a small matter; there's no need to shout and fight. It's actually very simple to solve this problem. Xie Xian doesn't like reading, but he pretends to like it. After more than ten days, I think he must be suffocated. At this time, if someone is willing to give him a chance, what do you think he will do? "
Su Zheng seemed to be thinking about something. "I heard from Shun Zi that when Xie Xian was in Xizhou, he was a frequent visitor to the local brothel."
Gu Jiu smiled knowingly. As expected, looking at Xie Xian's greasy face, it was clear that he was not a man who would keep quiet.
How can a person who is used to indulging in sensual pleasures endure abstaining from sex for ten or twenty days in a row?
As long as there is an opportunity and a secret push, this person will definitely reveal his ugliest side.
Gu Jiu said: "To solve this matter, we need cousin Su's help. But the matter is a bit difficult, and I am afraid of wronging cousin Su."
Su Zheng said quickly, "Cousin, you don't have to be polite to me. I will do my best to help you."
Gu Jiu laughed and bowed, "Thank you, cousin. The solution is very simple."
Gu Jiu explained her methods one by one.
After listening to this, Su Zheng couldn't help but look at Gu Jiu a few more times.
The solution is very good and can almost solve the problem perfectly.
Gu Ting looked excited. "Just do as my sister said. Cousin Su, are you okay with it?"
Su Zheng nodded. "I have no problem with that. But this method requires a lot of money."
Gu Ting suddenly seemed to lack confidence.
A penny can make a hero fail. Why didn't he think of saving some money in the past?
What now.
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "Don't worry about the money, cousin Su. I will take care of it. I'll also trouble Shun Zi to keep an eye on Xie Xian."
"Don't worry, cousin. I will not let Shun Zi take his eyes off on Xie Xian without your instructions."
Gu Ting was anxious and curious. "Sister, how are you going to solve the money issue?"
Gu Jiu smiled confidently, "Don't worry, brother. In a few days, I will show you how I make money."
Huh?
Gu Ting widened his eyes, full of curiosity.
Gu Jiu said, "I'll keep you in suspense for now, brother; please don't ask any more questions."
Su Zheng said, "I am also curious about how my cousin can earn money."
Gu Jiu smiled but did not answer. "It's getting late. I should go back. Brother, remember, on the 15th of this month, you and I will go to the temple together to copy scriptures and worship our mother."
"I know, and I dare not forget it."
Gu Jiu took her maid back to the inner courtyard.
Gu Jiu was very poor. It was the first time in her two lives that she was so poor. She felt unhappy.
She never worried about money in her previous life, but as soon as she came here in this life, she had to worry about money.
The time-travel god was really shameless and refused to give her an identity with money and leisure.
In fact, in Gu Jiu's mind, there are many profitable businesses, but they all require a lot of capital.
Moreover, the cycle is long and requires long-term operation, which is not suitable for her current situation.
She now needs to make some quick money in a short period of time.
After much thought, she decided that medicine was her specialty, so she might as well sell prescriptions.
Who to sell it to?
Doctor Chen is too straightforward and not suitable.
Then sell it to Dr. Xu.
Doctor Xu treated her for half a year and nearly killed her, but she never got to settle the score with him.
This is a rare opportunity, and she should settle this account with Dr. Xu.
Gu Jiu already had a complete plan in her mind.
But before they can implement the plan, there are still a few things that need to be done.
…
Early in the morning, Gu Jiu came to the upper room.
"Greetings to the Madam."
Xie smiled at Gu Jiu, "Second girl is here; please sit down. Are you feeling better?"
It was really rare. This was the first time Xie spoke to her so gently.
As expected, because she was going to "marry" Xie Xian, Xie changed her attitude and became more patient and gentle towards her.
Gu Jiu sat down next to her elder sister, Gu Zhen. "Thank you for your concern, Madam. I am feeling much better now. Doctor Chen prescribed a prescription for me to maintain my health, and I am taking it now."
Mrs. Xie smiled and said, "That's good. You should take care of your body so that you won't be rejected when you propose marriage in the future."
Gu Jiu looked embarrassed, lowered her head, and sneered in her heart.
Mrs. Xie really couldn't wait to marry her off.
Gu Yue laughed secretly, looking like she was enjoying a good show.
Obviously, she already knew that Xie was planning to marry Gu Jiu to Xie Xian.
Gu Jiu was in a good mood today and didn't want to waste her precious time dealing with Xie.
So she was too lazy to act and said directly, "Madam, my mother's death anniversary is coming soon. My brother and I plan to go to the temple on the 15th of this month to copy scriptures and burn them in front of the Buddha for my mother. Please allow me."
Mrs. Xie said calmly, "The second girl is very filial. Does the master know about this?"
Gu Jiu nodded. "My brother has already asked father for permission, and father agreed."
Mrs. Xie smiled; her smile was very faint, as if her face were stiff. "Since the master has agreed, I have no objection. If you need to prepare anything, just tell the housekeeper."
That short-lived Su was simply haunting her. Even after more than ten years of death, he still annoyed her.
Gu Jiu was a sick girl; she must have mentioned Su's in front of her on purpose.
snort!
She refused to let them have their way.
Anyway, Su is dead, and Gu Jiu will marry Xie Xian.
In this mansion, no one can challenge her authority. Anyone who dares to displease her will end up like Su Shi and Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu said, "Thank you, Madam. I have to go back and busy myself with copying scriptures, so I'll take my leave now."
Mrs. Xie said, "Don't tire yourself out, second girl."
"Thank you for your concern, Madam."
Gu Jiu stood up and left the upper room with the maids.
Xie's face fell, and she cursed inwardly, Little bitch!
In a blink of an eye, she started laughing again.
Gu Jiu, this sickly girl, is destined to be a short-lived ghost just like Su Shi.
