Chapter Seventy-One: The Black Shop
Perhaps it was Gu Yuqing's leisurely composure that infected her, and the girl gradually calmed down. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
I took a few deep breaths, stabilized my nerves, and said: "I am a villager of Wuqing Village under the mountain, my mother asked me to send wild vegetables to the masters of Qingquan Temple, I thought that I could take a shortcut to walk faster, and I could catch up with the family for lunch. ”
As she spoke, Gu Yuqing's gaze moved down slightly, and sure enough, she saw a bamboo basket behind her back, and the bamboo basket was covered with a lid, which should contain the wild vegetables she said.
I don't know how many wild vegetables are left after being chased by wild boars and almost losing their lives.
"We happen to be going to Wuqing Village, so we can take you all the way. This little girl is neither humble nor arrogant, but also clear and articulate, Gu Yuqing has a good impression of her in her heart.
Glancing longingly at the carriage Gu Yuqing was sitting in, the little girl pursed her lips and shook her head, "I'm still going to deliver wild vegetables, thank you for your kindness." ”
Hearing this, Gu Yuqing was not reluctant, frowned slightly, and glanced at the bamboo basket she was carrying, Gu Yuqing only asked her if she was injured and whether she could walk by herself, and saw that she was indeed fine, so she asked her to leave first.
As soon as the little girl left, Gu Yuqing pointed to the dead wild boar at Jixiang's feet and said with a smile: "Why did you get it too!"
At a glance, when he saw that Jixiang was supporting the little girl with his left hand, and dragging a wild boar with his right hand, there were hundreds of catties of wild boars coming out of the dense forest, Gu Yuqing suddenly hung three black lines on his forehead.
Where did she get so much power!
Hearing this, Ji Xiang glanced down at his trophies, and said very seriously: "Eat! Roast wild boar, stir-fried wild boar, shabu wild boar, or make it into stuffing, it is delicious no matter how you eat it." ”
The corners of Gu Yuqing's mouth twitched.
This girl, as if Gu Fu had mistreated her, came to Qingquan Temple and dragged a wild boar back.
Fortunately, Gufu's carriage has always been spacious and sturdy, and the space at the bottom of the carriage is enough for two adults.
After loading the wild boar and getting into the carriage, Jixiang smiled and said to Gu Yuqing: "That little girl is really enough to impress the slave maid!"
Gu Yuqing smiled with interest: "What?"
When the slave and maid passed, the wild boar was about to arch over her, and she was fine, running for her life, and holding the big bamboo basket in her hand. ”
When the slave and maid subdued the boar and looked back at her, she was so frightened that she was pale with fright, and she sat there paralyzed as if she were sifting chaff, panting heavily, except for the bamboo basket in her hand, which became tighter and tighter. ”
The slave and maid asked her, why didn't she throw away the bamboo basket, wouldn't it run faster if she threw it! She said that it was given to the masters in the Qingquan Temple on the mountain, and the masters paid the fixed money, how could she throw it away!
The slave asked again, why don't you carry it behind your back, you have to run with it in your hands, how cumbersome it is! Miss guess what she said?" Ji Xiang blinked his eyes and smiled at Gu Yuqing.
Gu Yuqing leaned on the pillow behind her back and found a comfortable position to talk to Jixiang, "What did she say?"
Before answering, Jixiang himself first "sneered" and smiled, "She only said, what if she is behind her back and is arched by a wild boar, wouldn't the masters of Qingquan Temple have nothing to eat!"
When I thought of the little girl who was obviously scared and lost her soul, the whole person was like a shivering thin quail, but she looked at her with a pair of big black and white eyes, and said such righteous words, Jixiang couldn't help laughing.
"She is even dying, and she is still thinking about sending wild vegetables to others, and she doesn't want to think about it, if she is eaten by a wild boar, it is possible that the wild boar will carry her bamboo basket and send it for her!"
Gu Yuqing glanced at Ji Xiang with a smile, "Just your mouth, that girl is a good boy who is honest." ”
She is only thirteen years old now, but she has only been a human being in two lives, and her heart is more mature, and she can't help but blurt out that a girl of the same age as her is a child.
Jixiang had long been accustomed to what Gu Yuqing said, but he didn't feel that what she said was awkward.
Gu Yuqing and Jixiang were talking and laughing, and the carriage moved slowly, but after a while, it passed through the three large archways at the head of Wuqing Village and entered the village.
Although Wuqing Village is not big, the road in the village is winding and winding, and the coachman stopped and asked for directions several times before the car was parked firmly at the door of the tea shop.
Gu Yuqing helped Jixiang get out of the car, picked up a secluded corner and sat down, and immediately the proprietress came to entertain her.
"This young lady must have been a pilgrim from Kyoto to Seisenji Temple. In front of her, the proprietress smiled enthusiastically, "What should Miss drink, the chrysanthemum brew in our store is a famous flower and fruit wine in these ten miles and eight villages, which is the most suitable for young ladies and girls to drink, come to a pot?"
Gu Yuqing refused with a smile: "Two bowls of clear tea, four tea eggs are fine." His eyes swept over the face of the proprietress who was not very well maintained, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
The wine she sold was not bought by the other party, and the proprietress immediately showed displeasure on her face, rolled her eyes, looked Gu Yuqing up and down in a weird manner, and said: "Look at Miss, this dress and jewelry don't look like it's bad money, how can you be so stingy, don't be a maid from a big family, steal the master's things and run away." ”
Her voice was very loud, and the villagers who were sitting here drinking tea and resting their feet looked at Gu Yuqing and them, and their earnest words followed.
The villagers are simple, but when they speak, they are also naked and unconcealed, and it is difficult to hear.
Gu Yuqing frowned.
How could Jixiang endure what others said to Gu Yuqing, and immediately got up to argue, but was stopped by Gu Yuqing with a look, so he had to bow his head in anger, and his fists clenched with a loud sound.
Gu Yuqing, who has an auspicious temperament, knows that she is the most unfortunate person who can not see herself being wronged.
But they came to Qingquan Temple this time to ask for medicine for Ruyi, if they made a big deal here, and accidentally spread it to the ears of Duan Wangye, Duan Wangye was very suspicious, and if he sent someone here to investigate, he would definitely know that she met with Abbot Taihong.
Although Abbot Taihong said that he would never tell about today's events, the mere fact that Abbot Taihong was from the Xiaosu faction was enough to make Duan Wang Ye guess Gu Yuqing's intentions.
It doesn't matter whether there is real evidence or not, as long as he moves the heart of speculation, it will be a disaster of death.
Therefore, she can only endure today's events.
It's all to blame on that stinky jade, I don't have to eat any tea eggs, and I'm not afraid of choking on it.
Seeing Gu Yuqing and Jixiang, two weak female streamers, who did not dare to resist in the face of their ridicule, the proprietress became more and more proud, and looked at Gu Yuqing with provocative eyes, and when she couldn't hold her face, she took the initiative to buy wine from herself.
Her tea has been spread for decades, and there are many guests who have passed by.
She has seen a lot of this kind of young lady from a rich family, and she can see at a glance that Gu Yuqing is not a maid.
In this way, he just wants to use the agitation method to force her to buy wine.
Gu Yuqing looked at the proprietress coldly and said, "According to what you said, let's have a pot of chrysanthemum stuffing." ”
Seeing Gu Yuqing bowing her head and softening, the smug smile on the proprietress became thicker and stronger, and she smiled and said even harder: "Unfortunately, today's chrysanthemum brew only has a big pot and no small pot." ”
"Okay, then come to the big pot, please hurry up, we are in a hurry. Gu Yuqing said in a cold voice without moving.
But the proprietress changed her words and said something again.
