Chapter 17: Another Traverser
When it comes to braised pork, Gu Mingzhen has a shadow in her heart, what is going on, don't these two people have any points in their hearts? ”
Mo had to say more, but was stopped by Jiang Yuchen waving his hand, "Is it convenient for the girl to talk alone?"
Gu Huai listened and stood up, although he had been in the county for a few years, but the Mo family and the Jiang family were not portals that he could come into contact with casually, but he knew that these two people probably had good family backgrounds in the matter of Young Master Qi just now, but talking alone at night was not a good thing for a big girl with yellow flowers who had not yet left the cabinet.
Although Gu Huai hadn't spoken yet, the disagreement on his face was overflowing, Jiang Yuchen felt that something was wrong in his words, and explained: "Let's find a table here, it won't take too long." ”
After shopping for so long and fighting again, a long time has passed, and the number of people in the food street has slowly begun to decrease, and the originally full piece has become a lot vacant, Jiang Yuchen pointed to the innermost table.
At this time, Gu Huai couldn't find any reason to object, so he went to the corner with the eldest niece and this Young Master Jiang.
Waiting to sit down on the stool, Gu Mingzhen subconsciously looked around, this side is the innermost part of the food street, there are walls on both sides, and there are only people separated by seven or eight tables next to it, as long as you talk quietly here, Gu Huai really can't hear it.
Gu Mingzhen closed her gaze and looked at Jiang Yuchen, maybe she had seen it too many times in one day, this body had already developed antibodies to his beauty, and there was no sense of a surprise at noon.
Jiang Yuchen lowered his head slightly, didn't know what he was thinking, he didn't speak for a long time, Gu Mingzhen waited for a while, and gradually became impatient in his heart, and tapped his fingers twice on the table and took the lead in opening his mouth: "Young Master Jiang, if there is anything you want to ask, please tell me directly, the hour is not early, my family is still waiting for me to go back." ”
Jiang Yuchen raised his head, his face returned to an expressionless appearance, and his handsome facial features gave birth to a sense of sharpness for no reason, Gu Mingzhen had been watched by him for a long time, and his heart couldn't help beating faster than a moment, and when he felt that his heart was about to jump out, Jiang Yuchen finally opened his mouth: "Does Miss Gu know this?"
He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, folded it and put it in front of Gu Mingzhen.
This handkerchief is a square and doesn't look big, and the folded side can't see what it looks like, but the part exposed on it is embroidered with something that may be an orchid, and below are a few strange-shaped things, Gu Mingzhen inexplicably felt familiar, and couldn't help but be startled when she looked closer, those few strange-shaped ones were a few letters XueYing.
The embroiderer who embroidered this handkerchief was obviously very bad, and a few simple letters were also embroidered crookedly, and Gu Mingzhen didn't recognize it for the first time.
But why are there letters on the handkerchief? Could it be that in addition to Princess Taiping and herself, there are other pioneers of this era?
Jiang Yuchen asked, "Do you know the girl?"
When Gu Mingzhen looked at it, he looked at it for a moment, and he didn't let go of any expression, and her reaction was obviously recognized.
Gu Mingzhen opened her mouth and wanted to deny it, but being looked at by Jiang Yuchen like this, she couldn't say anything about the denial, and hesitated for a long time before nodding slightly.
"What do you mean?" said with a bit of urgency, obviously very concerned about the matter.
Gu Mingzhen picked up the handkerchief, touched the crooked letters embroidered, and said slowly: "It should be the name, Xue Ying, Xue Ying, Xue Ying, probably this is the meaning, I don't know which two words it is." ”
Jiang Yuchen exhaled, his tense nerves were obviously relaxed, he took the handkerchief from Gu Mingzhen's hand, and said slowly: "It's the name, the surname is Xue, welcome Ying, I don't know how Miss Gu can recognize this kind of writing?"
It's hard to say, Gu Mingzhen sighed, didn't answer and asked, "I don't know how Young Master Jiang knows that I know this kind of writing, you and I are the first time we've seen each other today, right?"
A trace of unnaturalness flashed on Jiang Yuchen's face, but he still responded: "You made a dish of braised pork in Jixiangju at noon, and I haven't eaten that taste for many years." ”
I haven't eaten it for many years, that is to say, I have eaten it before, and combined with the fact that the master of Jixiangju asked for advice on fried sugar color at noon, it is not difficult to see that my braised pork is different from the braised pork method of this era, that is......
"You're lying to me?"
Gu Mingzhen squinted, she had been training in the workplace for a few years and two lives in her previous life, but she didn't expect to ask this kid to cheat him.
Perhaps because Gu Mingzhen recognized the relationship between the letters, Jiang Yuchen's tone softened a lot, and there was a little smile on his face, seeing that she was displeased, he gave up his hand.
"I really want to learn this kind of writing, and the girl can only mention it if there are any conditions. ”
There is no way to teach it in person, pinyin is not something that can be learned in a day or two, but if you don't teach it in person, there is no other way, and it is not good to refuse directly, Gu Mingzhen touched her nose a little uncomfortably: "It's not a secret, my grandfather used to be a teacher, and there were some books at home, I learned words from him for a few years when I was a child, and this kind of writing was learned at my grandfather's house, but I don't know if the book is still there." ”
There are certainly no books, but I can't think of a better way now, so I have to fool around like this first.
"I'll go home tomorrow, I'll look for it when the time comes, and if I find it, I'll ask someone to send it to Young Master Jiang." ”
Jiang Yuchen shook his head: "When will you go home tomorrow?" ”
"This ...... Okay, tomorrow after breakfast, go out and buy some things and come back. ”
It's okay to go with him directly, and when the time comes, take him to Ye Xiucai's study to find a book that doesn't exist, and there will be nothing to do.
The two talked about the place of residence again, then got up and walked to Gu Huai's side.
In order to wait for Gu Mingzhen, the people at this table have already eaten a few plates of braised vegetables, and drank two pots of tea, the people in the entire food street have almost left, and most of the shops have been closed.
Gu Mingzhen thought about it and made a waiting gesture towards Gu Huai, then knelt down on the counter and said to Li Sanniang: "Sanniang is not a matter after all, it is good that Young Master Mo will help you today, otherwise even if the villagers help you, this matter will not be good, the lo-mei is delicious, thank you for your hospitality, we will leave." ”
After speaking, he beckoned Gu Huai and the others to go out.
She said that these words were actually selfish, and the matter of making money was almost imminent, but after walking around the county this morning, I found that it was really not easy to make money.
Probably the butterfly effect caused by the predecessors, the Great Zhou Dynasty is quite different from the ancient times imagined by Gu Mingzhen, and when I was in Qingshan Village, I didn't feel much, but when I arrived in the county, this feeling came out, there was a store on the street that specialized in selling things like perfume, shampoo, and shower gel, and there was even a glass cabinet in a silver building.
As a liberal arts student, in addition to pleasing the calligraphy learned by the professor, she couldn't use anything else in ancient times, and she was definitely not the opponent of this group of ancient people, except for opening a shop to sell food, Gu Mingzhen couldn't think of any business that could make money.
And Li Sanniang, her father is dead, only orphans and widows are left, although she is only delicate, but her slender figure has her own style, even if the law is strict now, it is not a long-term thing to guard such a braised vegetable shop with money, unless you get married, otherwise this shop will have to close sooner or later.
Gu Mingzhen thought about things silently all the way, followed Gu Huai back to the carpenter's shop, and when the lock was unlocked and the door entered, Liu Hongying led Gu Cheng and Gu Mingyu back to the backyard first.
"Ah Zhen, what's going on with that Young Master Jiang today?" Gu Huai bolted the door and didn't hurry to leave with the lantern.
"Young Master Jiang, oh, Jiang Yuchen! I made some snacks by myself, Second Brother Chen introduced the buyer, and I saw Young Master Jiang in Jixiangju at noon today. Gu Mingzhen thought about things and was stunned for a moment before she reacted, who Gu Huai was talking about.
"You have been more righteous than a repentant since you were a child, but as the saying goes, the heart of defense is indispensable, I won't say much else, go to bed early, I'll buy something for your grandmother early tomorrow morning, and you can take it back." ”
Although Gu Mingzhen doesn't like Mrs. Gu, after this half-day contact, this uncle is really a good person, and this little favor still needs to be helped.
The three brothers of the Gu family, the eldest Gu Sui is too selfish, in addition to his fame, let alone his children and wives, I am afraid that his wife will also be ranked behind the fame. The second child, Gu Wei, is timid and cowardly, and has lived under the two mountains of his mother and daughter-in-law all his life, only Gu Huai is a righteous gentleman with excellent character.
Back in the backyard of the shop, Gu Mingzhen first followed Gu Huai to the house where he lived to take a look, the room was only about six square meters in size, there was no kang in the room, only a double bed, but the quilt on the bed looked very thick, Chungu County is located south of the Yangtze River, such a thick quilt should not be cold to cover, the rest is a set of tables, chairs and wardrobes, there are not many things but they are all neatly organized, it seems that life is good in the carpenter's shop, perhaps, Liu Hongying will become her little aunt soon.
Gu Huai couldn't help but laugh when he saw her with a meaningful smile on her face, pushed her out of the door, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I've seen it, go back to sleep early, I added firewood to the house where you slept when I went out before, and now the Xiangbi Kang is still warm, just sleeping." ”
Gu Mingzhen's aunt and nephew slept in Liu Hongying's room, and two futons had been placed on the kang intimately, lying on the bed and hugging her sister, warming the smell of sunshine on the quilt, and fell asleep after a while.
I don't know if I have been used to getting up early in the past few days, and early the next morning without anyone shouting, Gu Mingzhen woke up by herself, in the warm quilt, Gu Mingyu was still sleeping, and the other quilt had been neatly folded and put aside, Gu Mingzhen lightly dressed and went out.
The morning light was faint, and there was only the sound of Liu Hongying fetching water and picking vegetables in the small courtyard, and the well water that had just been hit was still steaming, and it was full of water around Liu Hongying, which seemed that her whole person had a different kind of quietness.
"Sister Ying, it's early!"
