Chapter 010: Neighbors
Jingxu nodded slowly, Gu Jialuo was right, to make fruit wine, one relies on fruit, and the other relies on water. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Although Jingxu doesn't know the process of winemaking, but she has also drunk wine for so many years, uh, wrong, wrong, she has seen so much wine, as the name suggests, wine and wine, there must be good water for winemaking.
"Good mountain spring water?" Jingxu thought about it, his eyes lit up, and he said: "There are several mountain springs under the princess peak where our Tiejian Nunnery is located, and the water we eat in the nunnery on weekdays is also these spring waters, which are sweet and cold, and the quality is excellent. ”
Gu Jialuo pretended to be surprised and said, "Really? Oops, that would be great. With good mountain spring water, the fruit brewing is half the story. However, how many places did you say? ”
Jingxu folded his hands and counted them, and then stretched out four white and fat fingers: "There are four places, and this is not counting the stream in the mountain stream." ”
When he heard the word 'Xiaoxi', a flash of light flashed in Gu Jialuo's eyes. However, it was very fast, and Jing Xuan was only concerned with thinking about the sake brewing, and he didn't notice it for a while.
"Okay, since that's the case, if it's too convenient for the teacher, take me to those places where there is water, taste one or two on the spot, and I can also choose the most suitable water source for brewing 'fruit brew'." Gu Jialuo said excitedly: "With water, by the way, go to see the fruit trees, choose one or two kinds of fruits that are easiest to brew, and brew one or two jars first. "By the way, I also 'tasted' it, Gu Jialuo looked at Jingxu's appearance, he should also be a person who likes wine.
Jingxu became more and more happy when she heard this, but she was a cautious person, and suddenly Gu Jialuo was so enthusiastic about helping, she couldn't help but be vigilant, and looked at her vigilantly, "Grandma Gu is really a warm-hearted person, this time she helped the poor nun so much, I don't know what you need to do for the poor nuns?" "Nothing to do, you are either a traitor or a thief.
Gu Jialuo was stunned for a moment, and then an embarrassing flush of 'being broken by humanity' appeared on her face, and she said wryly: "I still can't hide it from Mrs. Shi, I, I do have something I want to ask Mrs. Shi for a favor." ”
Jingxu raised his eyebrows, his face showed a look of 'sure enough', and a trace of pride flashed in his eyes: Hmph, just like you, you dare to make a ghost in front of your master?
But he still said, "What's the matter?" Grandma Gu, please speak, it's just that the poor nuns are soft-spoken, and they may not be able to help you. ”
"It can help, it can help!" Gu Jialuo said repeatedly, with a flattering smile on his face, "I came to Tiejian Nunnery that day, my mind was in turmoil, my mind was not clear, I was crazy for a while, and I said a lot of rebellious things to my mother, and I thought about it repeatedly in the past few days, and I regretted it very much, so, so, I want to write a letter to my mother and make amends." ”
looked at Gu Jialuo with a smile, and the curvature of her lips seemed to tell her, what are you thinking, I really don't know, heh, don't you pay for? I think it's a plea for mercy and a plea for help, right?
“…… This, "Jingxu is very embarrassed," it doesn't conform to the rules of the hermitage! "If you want to make an exception, you need to hand over the benefits.
Gu Jialuo was very upbeat, and hurriedly said: "I know that it is too difficult for the teacher, you can rest assured, I, I will never let you suffer." In addition to fruit brewing, I also have a few ways to 'open source' in the nunnery, and if Mrs. Shi doesn't dislike it, I can tell Mrs. Shi. ”
She's not asking for nothing, it's a 'fair deal' that pays off.
Jingxu squinted his eyes and thought for a while, and then said, "There's no rush in this matter, let's take a look at the fruit brew first." "Delay it for a few days, first, to verify Gu Jialuo's 'ability', and second, to go to Beijing to listen to the rumors and see what is happening in the Qi, Gu, and Feng families.
Jingxu loves money, but she also knows how to avoid evil, she won't cause trouble for herself!
Of course, Gu Jialuo understood Jingxu's plan, so he didn't say much, but said with a smile: "Okay, everything is arranged by Shitai." But this water~~~"
Jing nodded hurriedly, "It just so happens that there is nothing important today, so let's accompany Grandma Gu around the mountains." "Sending a letter to the Gu family involves too much, Jingxu doesn't dare to agree easily, but when making fruit wine, he doesn't have so many scruples.
……
After breakfast, Gu Jialuo changed into a dark cotton dress, put her hair in a bun casually, and then went out with Jingxu.
Walking into the courtyard, Gu Jialuo paused and looked at it slightly, she was carried in yesterday evening, the whole person was hungry and groggy, and she didn't pay attention to her surroundings, and now she saw her future residence for the first time. Of course, it can also be called a 'prison'.
This is a small triple courtyard, the east, west and north sides are two regular rooms, the same size, the layout is the same, the south is the gate, the yard is very small, less than half an acre of land, in the middle of a stone paved cross road, can lead to three wings respectively.
The wing room on the north side where Gu Jialuo lives is also a bit like the main house in a sense. This is not to say that the nunnery takes more care of her, but it just so happens that the person who lived in the north house before 'went', and when there is a vacant room, the owner of the nunnery will arrange for the new Gu Jialuo to come in.
"Including you, Grandma Gu, there are a total of three 'nobles' in the courtyard, the one on the east side is the eldest daughter of the Tai Hospital mentioned by Poor Ni yesterday, and the one on the west side is Concubine Lin from King Ning's Mansion."
Jingxu saw Gu Jialuo turn around and look at the courtyard around him, so he casually introduced.
Concubine Lin? There is still a side concubine of the palace living here? Gu Jialuo frowned, and subconsciously looked at the west wing. I happened to see a woman in palace clothes sitting by the south window in the west room, embroidering something with her head down, I don't know if it was a coincidence, when Gu Jialuo looked at her, she also suddenly raised her head, through the open window, Gu Jialuo just looked at the face of the woman in palace clothes.
Suddenly startled, that person, that person was so emaciated, the original small melon seed face was only left with a layer of skin, like an air-dried orange peel, wrinkled, with her big eyes glowing with ghostly light, looking from a distance, it was like a withered skeleton.
Gu Jialuo swallowed his saliva and muttered: "I once heard that Concubine Lin of King Ning's Mansion is the number one beauty in the capital, I haven't seen her for a few years, how did she become like this?" "Where is the first beauty, it is clearly the first female ghost.
Jingxu didn't hide it this time, and replied lightly: "Grandma Gu, don't forget, this is the Iron Threshold Nunnery!" "It's not Ning Wangfu, the first beauty has become a living skeleton, this is normal. Concubine Lin is not bad, at least she is alive with all her beards and tails, not like the former occupants of the North House, who hanged herself with a sweat towel.
Concubine Lin also saw Gu Jialuo, she suddenly cracked her mouth, revealing yellowed teeth, and the upper row of front teeth was missing one, which became more and more cloudy and full of ghostliness. Gu Jialuo shivered again, she had long known that Tiejian was 'unusual', but when she was in the middle of it, she realized how depressed and desperate it was.
Staying in such a place, there is no need for anyone to deliberately abuse people, and people will break down and go crazy to death.
No, she has to get out as soon as possible, as soon as possible!
PS: Yesterday's fifty recommended votes were added, and a certain Sa found that there were more than 20 recommended votes today, and the relatives worked harder, rushing to fifty in one go, and a certain Sa added more together, hehe, a certain Sa is really not afraid of adding more, it's really dripping!
