Chapter 199: Unexpected news
Gu Xiu and the others were drinking spiritual wine and tasting delicious food in Yuzhuanlou. Zhu Ting, who returned to Lijintang, felt agitation in her heart.
As soon as he entered Li Jintang, Zhang Yuerong called in.
"Zhang...Master Zhang?" Zhu Ting didn't dare to look at Zhang Yuerong's face as frosty, "Things... are done."
After finally speaking, he couldn't hear Zhang Yuerong's voice. Zhu Ting couldn't help but look up at her.
Zhang Yuerong was looking at her, her eyes were very calm, as if she was... looking at a dead person.
Zhu Ting was shocked, and she immediately thought of Gu Xiu’s reminder before leaving.
"Have you been going to pay it back with the 100,000 gold beads?" Zhang Yuerong asked, unable to hear the emotion in his voice.
"I...I don't have golden beads." Zhu Ting replied almost frightenedly.
"But you wrote the IOU." Zhang Yuerong said calmly again.
Zhu Ting knelt down and said, "I beg Uncle Zhang to help me. Gu Xiu said, if I don't give these 100,000 gold beads, she will go to Zhengjietang to sue me. Uncle Zhang, you know the methods of Zhengjietang. I can't go in. Once I go in, I will not say anything, but I can't make the decision."
"Are you threatening me?" Zhang Yuerong's voice became even colder.
Zhu Ting immediately shook her head, "No, I dare not, I am saying the heartfelt words. Uncle Zhang, with the means of the Punishment Hall, I... I must not be able to stand it."
Zhang Yuerong naturally knew that what Zhu Ting was saying was the truth, and she also knew that Zhu Ting could not produce these 100,000 gold beads, but how could she be willing to ask her to take out these 100,000 gold beads?
It's really a matter of stealing chickens and losing a lot of rice. Zhang Yuerong thought hatefully in her heart. Ban Nixue, who heard the news, must be watching her jokes.
Zhu Ting really cannot enter the Zhengjue Hall because what Gu Xiu said in front of everyone in Wutong Courtyard, she can no longer attack Zhu Ting, otherwise she will attract the attention of the Zhengjue Hall and investigate it carefully. Once she finds out that she will kill her fellow disciples for no reason, she will not be able to bear it.
Zhu Ting looked at Zhang Yuerong's angry and unwilling appearance, and didn't understand in her heart that Zhang Yuerong didn't want to produce these 100,000 gold beads.
If Zhang Yuerong couldn't produce these 100,000 gold beads, he would not be the one who was in trouble in the end.
Although she had never been to the Zhengjietang, she was frightened just by the punishments she had heard of.
Zhengjietang? A figure flashed through Zhu Ting's mind.
Speaking of which, Mr. Zhang intends to make trouble for Gu Xiu as a breakthrough to deal with Ban Nixue because of a reminder.
When they talked about this, she was serving next to her.
The man mentioned Gu Xiu in front of Uncle Zhang. Although it seemed casual, now that she thought about it carefully, her words were full of scheming everywhere.
But she was a little confused. What kind of hatred does she have with Gu Xiu? It is worth her encouragement to Uncle Zhang to deal with Gu Xiu.
Gu Xiu is a garment maker and is still famous now. I heard that he has signed a contract with Linlang Pavilion, but even so, what does it have to do with her?
"What are you stunned? Didn't you hear what I said?"
While thinking about the relationship between the man and Gu Xiu, Zhang Yuerong's angry voice rang in her ears.
Zhu Ting was shocked. She really didn't hear what Zhang Yuerong said just now.
But I think it's not a good thing.
Zhu Ting gritted her teeth and wanted to save herself, so she had to drag the man in.
"Uncle Zhang, I thought that one person could produce these 100,000 gold beads."
Zhang Yuerong glanced at Zhu Ting, "Who can produce these 100,000 gold beads?"
"Senior Sister Huai Mu." Zhu Ting said.
After dinner with Xun Yan and Yu Chen, the few of them returned to the city lord's mansion together, and Gu Xiu went to the messenger hall again.
The disciples of the messenger hall already knew Gu Xiu. When they saw Gu Xiu come in, they hurriedly said, "Sister Gu, it's such a coincidence that you came today. You happened to have your letter."
Gu Xiu was delighted, "Really? Where did it come from?"
"The Gu family in the south gate of Xianshui City." The disciple of the messenger council replied, flipping through the letter basket, flipping out a jade slip, and handing it to Gu Xiu.
"It's this book."
Gu Xiu hurriedly took it. The letter was written by Gu Xuan. It started with some greetings and expressed surprise and joy for Gu Xiu to be selected as a disciple of the City Lord's Mansion.
Then we talked about the situation at home. From Gu Huai, Deng Fengxian to Gu Hua and Guang Haiying, they were all good. Speaking of herself, a year after Gu Xiu and his friends left Xianshui City, Gu Xuan took the Transformation Pill and successfully built the divine vein. Although it was only a low-grade divine vein, according to Gu Xuan's tone in the letter, she was obviously satisfied that she would no longer use the Transformation Pill to practice in the future.
That would be fine, Gu Xiu was relieved, so she could only prepare a pellet of physalization pill for Gu Shu.
Gu Xiu frowned, and Gu Xuan wrote at the end of the letter: "The third sister married six years ago, and then she left Xianshui City with her brother-in-law and returned to her in-laws' house."
This is the end of the letter.
Gu Xiu turned the jade slip again without giving up. Except for this sentence, there was no mention of Gu Shu's marriage in other places. There was no specific introduction to the third brother-in-law who didn't even know Gu Xiu's name.
Why did Gu Shu get married after she was well?
Haven't you heard Gu Shu say she has a sweetheart before?
Moreover, judging from Gu Shu's past behavior and expression, she does not seem to have the same person she likes.
Has it been just a year since Gu Shu met the person she was willing to marry?
This is not impossible, but...
Gu Xiu looked at the few strokes at the end of the jade slip, and she always felt that things were not that simple.
If they were really in love and were a good marriage, why did Gu Xuan just tell me so little and write it at the end of the letter, as if it was written at the end, and I had to mention it, but I didn't want to mention it, so I had to deal with it like this.
Gu Xiu took the jade slip and walked towards the inner city, but she was worried about Gu Shu. She hoped that she had thought too much. Perhaps Gu Shu married very well, but Gu Xuan just ignored it and did not tell her the specific matter.
Gu Xiu thought while walking. Gu Xuan said that she could come back within one year, but now it is no more than two months away from the one-year period.
Since Gu Shu is no longer in Xianshui City, do you still need to prepare the Huamai Pill? I don’t know where Gu Shu’s in-laws’ family is? Maybe she has already obtained the Huamai Pill.
Then the Pulse-Cultivation Pill I prepared... Gu Xiu thought of Guang Haiying and shook her head. What she needed was the Pulse-Cultivation Pill, not the Pulse-Cultivation Pill.
However, the Rejuvenation Pill is more rare than the Transmigration Pill. Even the Dan Hall in the inner city is probably not available. To get the Rejuvenation Pill, what is required is not only financial resources, but also luck.
Gu Xiu quickly threw this problem behind her, and what she cared about the most was Gu Shu.
"Fight Sister?"
A familiar voice came from behind. Gu Xiu turned around suddenly and saw Gu Yue standing there with a smile.
"Eighth Sister, is it really you? I heard from the seniors of the Chef Hall that a new garment maker with a very good garment craftsman was released in the inner city, and it was also the Jiuyun Mountain disciple who participated in the Luoying Valley Secret Realm trial. I was just wondering if it was eighth Sister, but I couldn't enter the inner city, otherwise I would have gone to find you long ago."
