Chapter 72: The Year 72 is Coming, Assassinating Gu Hua
Before the New Year comes, Jiangzhou City is filled with joy.
Gu Hua went to the fourth room carrying an expensive holiday gift.
After she took the child back, she went to visit the fourth grandfather and found that the old man had not recovered from his illness. After secretly observing him, she found out that it was because her aunt Miao was reluctant to spend money to hire a good doctor or buy expensive medicine, which made the old man's body increasingly weaker.
Later, Gu Hua spent a large sum of money to invite an imperial physician who had retired from the palace, and used some precious medicinal herbs to save the fourth grandfather, who had one foot in the coffin.
Ever since the last incident in the Gu Mansion where some clan members forcibly took something away and he was locked up by his mother, who threatened him to death and forbade him to take care of Gu Hua's affairs, Gu Chen has been embarrassed to see her again.
When he saw Gu Hua being invited in by his father with a gift, Gu Chen lowered his brows and looked ashamed to face people, and turned around to avoid him.
"Cousin, how much do you dislike me?" Gu Hua said with a smile: "Why do you hide whenever you see me these days?!"
Gu Chen turned around awkwardly, shame in his eyes, "I am not worthy of being your cousin. When you were in trouble, I stayed at home like a coward. How can I be worthy of being your cousin?"
"You stinky boy, you're asking for a fight." Gu Jiqing stared at him with his eyes wide open: "You're a coward, what am I?"
"Hahaha." Gu Hua watched Gu Chen being chased and beaten by his father with a stick. Not only did he not step forward to dissuade him, but he also stood there, laughing and watching the fun.
"Uncle, give me two more beatings. A man who doesn't even recognize his own cousin deserves to be beaten."
It was at this time that Miao came out of her yard with her daughter Gu Yun. She saw Gu Jiqing chasing and beating his son. Gu Hua was watching with a smile on his face, but there was obvious displeasure in his eyes.
Gu Hua saw Miao coming out from the corner of his eye and politely bowed to her as a junior, "Aunt."
"Hello, cousin." Gu Yun looked at Gu Hua and called out as well.
Gu Hua looked at Gu Yun, who acted as if he hadn't seen her during the time when the incident at the Gu Mansion took place. Every time he saw her, he had an expression of disgust on his face. But at this moment, a flattering smile appeared on her face.
He couldn't help but shook his head secretly. This girl's character was completely corrupted by her second aunt Miao.
Gu Yun stared at the two pieces of high-quality fox skin in Dagui's hand. They were smooth and had no mixed colors.
"Mom, my cousin sent me such fine furs. Can you make me a fur coat with the fur facing outwards to wear during the New Year?"
Miao seemed not to notice the ugly expressions of her husband and son. She walked over, took the leather from Dagui's hand and touched it.
"This fur is so smooth." She said to Gu Yun who followed her, "This fur is just enough for my mother and I to make a fur vest. It will definitely be very impressive when we visit relatives and friends during the New Year."
"Mom, how could you do this?!" Gu Chen felt ashamed to face people again. He turned around and pulled Gu Hua towards the yard where his grandfather lived.
Gu Jiqing frowned at his wife and daughter and scolded them, "Look at what you are doing. These two black fox skins are obviously gifts from Hua'er to his father. Is it appropriate for you to take them away for yourselves?"
"Why is it inappropriate? Once the gifts come to our house, they are mine. Huaer is so rich now, just give a few more to make clothes for your father." Miao shouted indifferently.
Gu Jiqing raised his hand, then put it down, "You...you are really unreasonable."
"Hmph!" Miao held her head high like a rooster that had won a fight, but she didn't realize that her behavior was slowly making her husband extremely disappointed in her.
Gu Hua walked into the house and saw Fourth Grandfather's complexion had regained its vitality. The old man was very happy to learn that not only did she not fail in business this time in Saibei, but she also made a lot of money, and with the help of good doctors and medicinal herbs, she soon recovered.
Upon learning that Gu Hua had arrived, the old man smiled happily, his eyes filled with joy, and the wrinkles on his face were all revealed.
At noon, Gu Hua accompanied Fourth Grandfather for lunch. Perhaps it was Gu Chen who stopped them from doing so. Miao's mother and daughter did not show up again until after lunch. Gu Hua did not mention the fact that the gifts he brought were robbed by Miao. After all, the entire Fourth House had been ridiculed by outsiders and even Gu's clan members would ridicule them because of his reputation as a prodigal son.
The two fox skins given to them were compensation for the mother and daughter.
After the meal, the old man was obviously tired. Before leaving, Gu Hua glanced at the dejected Gu Chen and said, "Don't be lazy at home.
After the Chinese New Year, come and help me build up the tea house in the county town below. From now on, the tea house and the tea shop will be under your management, and I will arrange for Su Fuying to manage the silk shop."
Gu Chen stared blankly at the tall figure who turned around and walked out of the door, his eyes moistened. He didn't expect that Gu Hua was still willing to use him and let him manage the tea shop business in the future.
Gu Hua walked down the steps in front of the fourth room and got into the carriage. When he was passing an alley on his way back, he saw five or six men making advances towards a woman.
"Young lady, just play with us for a while and we'll let you go." Gu Hua and Dagui, who was driving the carriage, heard the men's obscene teasing from afar.
"Go away, you bunch of filthy hooligans." The woman shouted as if she was terrified, pushing and dodging.
Gu Hua opened the curtain of the carriage and looked from afar and found that the woman was being teased by a group of men, but she still managed to glance in her direction in the midst of her busy schedule, and suddenly she curled her lips and smiled.
Dagui saw five or six grown men bullying a weak woman, and couldn't bear it and asked, "Master, should we call for help?"
"Let's go." Gu Hua narrowed his autumn-water eyes, perhaps because the woman didn't need them to save her.
Dagui paused, but still obeyed the order and drove the carriage forward.
Gu Hua's action made the group of hooligans who were molesting decent women over there stop.
"People are so heartless nowadays?" One of the men with a black mole on his face looked at his companion who was trying hard to tease the woman and asked, "What should we do now?"
"It's cold." Seeing his plan ignored by Gu Hua, a conscienceless pretty boy, the accomplice said angrily and gloomily, "I don't want to be punished by the boss to do hard labor. We must succeed this time."
Dagui was driving his carriage and was about to pass through the alley when suddenly a man with a dagger in his hand jumped up from the side and stabbed Gu Hua in the chest.
Gu Hua, who was sitting in the carriage, seemed to have anticipated the assassination. She sat there without moving. The man who killed her stood straight like a wooden man and fell off the carriage with his body stiff.
"boom!"
Another man who jumped up with a sharp dagger was also the one who was kicked out when the carved wooden door of the carriage was pushed open. The dagger that he had just held in his hand was stuck in his bloody thigh.
Dagui wanted to come over to stop and protect his master, but the woman he had felt sorry for earlier jumped on him and forcibly dragged him off the carriage. He was stunned for a moment and yelled, "Get out of the way, you stinky woman."
Dagui, who had never hit a woman before, raised his fist, but for a moment he didn't know whether he should hit her.
Gu Hua walked out of the car and beat up five or six thugs who pretended to molest decent women. After a few rounds, he knocked them to the ground.
Just as these people saw the boiled chicken Gu Hua, whom they were about to assassinate, being so brutal, the man with the bleeding thigh wound was about to run away.
Gu Hua flew over and stood in front of the group of people. He said to the panicked group of people calmly: "Have you asked me if you want to escape?"
