Chapter 21
If he was really called here because of He Xingqian.
Then when you have been in for so long, there won't be any movement at all.
She had been invited to the mansion for a long time, but she didn't know anyone there, and no one paid any attention to her.
So she started to look around cautiously, but she accidentally observed this scene, Gu Qian thought.
Looking at the main seat, the two people who seemed to have not noticed her presence at all were chatting and laughing.
Gu Qian hesitated for a moment, then silently lowered her presence, then lowered it again.
Quietly, he returned the same way he came. He returned to his female guest.
After all, the county magistrate is a person of status, so his banquet is also conducted in a manner where male and female guests are entertained separately.
When Gu Qian returned to the female guest, no one noticed her departure or return.
Or maybe someone noticed, but didn't care where Gu Qian went just now.
This time, Gu Qian didn't need acting skills and shook her head sincerely.
And if there are new faces in this kind of situation, most of the attitudes will be curiosity.
"This time, we should have been specially hired by the county magistrate to serve people and give them away."
"I'm already like this, and I'm still afraid of him?"
Then...can I get any information from this person?
The expression of fear and unwillingness on this person's face was too obvious, and he didn't look like he knew anything about the banquet.
Talk to the other person quietly.
She pretended to be timid and uneasy.
Under normal circumstances, the number of people and faces in the same circle in an area are fixed.
Gu Qian took a deep breath. She already understood that the reason why the county magistrate invited her here was probably not a good thing.
The man was shocked: "You don't know anything?!"
She just nodded lightly and looked at Gu Qian from top to bottom. Then she asked the maid to take Gu Qian aside to rest and have snacks.
It seems that I already knew that such a village girl would appear at today's banquet.
Since she is asking for help, the first thing Gu Qian needs to bear the brunt of is to understand her situation first before she can take the right medicine.
The reason why she suddenly changed her target was very simple. It was just because that girl was different from the other ladies who were wearing gold, silver, and exquisite clothes.
After blinking, he decisively changed his route and walked towards a woman who was clearly frightened and frightened, with red eyes, next to the lotus pond.
The girl was stunned for a moment, then her tone became softer, as if she had more sympathy and sympathy for Gu Qian.
Because she understood that it was definitely not a good thing for her as the master's wife to have this attitude towards her.
They would want to know the identity of the other party, but there is no such thing here. Gu Qian has been here for so long, and no one has asked her her name or looked at her with curiosity and inquiry.
Finally, he set his sights on the guests at the scene again.
This only shows that most people at the scene know their identities.
"Speaking of which, I was really surprised. I had only met the county magistrate once before when he was playing drums in the Yamen to complain about injustice, but for some reason, the county magistrate seemed to remember me. He even called me over specifically."
"But fortunately, I have a relative who works in this mansion, so I can barely get some information."
Gu Qian originally planned to talk to this group of people to find a breakthrough.
The girl subconsciously replied with a harsh and resentful tone.
It can only explain one thing, that is, in the other person's heart, he is just an insignificant thing.
Regardless of whether she could succeed or not, Gu Qian wanted to find a chance to ask He Xingqian for help first.
"You...were also invited here by the county magistrate?"
Combined with the other person's panicked expression, Gu Qian was sure that this person was likely to have the same experience as her.
As soon as Mrs. Gu Qian came in, she was taken up by the maid to say hello.
The girl looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to what was happening on their side, so she said mockingly.
"This girl, don't blame me for being nosy, it's just..."
"yes."
You have to know which direction you can escape!
However, Gu Qian did not expect that such a small gesture would lead to her seeing He Xingqian at the banquet.
The other party seems to be a guest of the county magistrate?
What was going on? Gu Qian thought about the identity of the other party, but she had no clue.
"Sister, I'd like to ask, seeing that you are dressed about the same as me, do you know that the county magistrate called us over to do Shi'a? It's scary not to know anything."
And it was precisely because of understanding this that Gu Qian, who seemed ignorant and uninformed, wandered around nearby, looking around curiously.
The lady's attitude was very cold, with no surprise or other emotions.
In the end, she could only think shamelessly.
Gu Qian pursed her lips, as if she was afraid of something, and lowered her voice, making her appear timid and uneasy.
"...Are you okay?"
A person who is so insignificant that even saying a word to him seems like a waste!
If it doesn't matter, why invite yourself here?
"I heard that the county magistrate recently met a man who had lost both legs. In just a few days, he treated him as an honored guest, and his attitude was extremely warm."
Then, if you were in trouble today and asked the other party for help, the other party would probably agree, right?
Gu Qian wandered back to the back garden where she was entertaining the female guests, thinking about this matter.
But when she was about to walk towards the girls, Gu Qian suddenly stopped.
The woman was wearing just an ordinary peasant skirt.
In fact, the fact that I was a stranger at a banquet and no one paid attention to me already speaks volumes.
Gu Qian pretended to be innocent as an ignorant girl.
Or maybe he knows the purpose of being invited here by this group of people this time.
At least, even if something happens.
After the girl finished speaking, she realized that the person speaking was Gu Qian, a girl dressed similarly to her.
"It's just that today is the day when the county magistrate is happy. I heard that the county magistrate is not a good-tempered person. It would be inappropriate to let him know that you looked like this at his banquet."
Gu Qian carefully handed over a handkerchief and quietly signaled to the girl that her tears were about to fall.
It is actually an act of carefully observing the surrounding environment.
The host the female guest is entertaining is the wife of the county magistrate.
After all, she had saved He Xingqian's life, and now the other party still needed her to save his legs.
Sure enough, this man knew something.
Not even a word of greeting was said!
The lady's attitude at that time made Gu Qian feel inexplicably heavy.
"Hey, it doesn't matter. Since we've already entered this hellish place, it doesn't matter if I tell you. I'm the daughter of a butcher in this county, and I was called here suddenly."
"I heard that this is the reason why we appeared here this time. It is said that our county magistrate found that the man with broken legs had only one servant and no woman to serve him. He specially recruited us and planned to send him there.
.”
"As for us appearing here, the county magistrate probably collected too many women and not all of them arrived at once. So they were too lazy to lecture and coerce us one by one, so they put us here first and waited for others to arrive.
Let’s shout together and go to another place to toss.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw movement in one direction and tightened her handkerchief.
"No, look, the person who came to let us know how to die is here now, isn't he?"
