Chapter 0232: Before the Game
Xu Xiang, whom Ge Kailin had just asked, was in the Prince's Mansion at this time, and opposite him was a thin man who had been hollowed out by wine and had thirst quenching disease, which was none other than his father, Prince Xuanhe.
"Lord Wang, I don't know what you're looking for the little one."
"Xiang'er, it's been many years, when are you willing to call me Daddy, it's okay to call Father."
"If the prince is okay, the little one will go out."
"Alas, Xiang'er, you are fifteen years old this year, and your father called you back to discuss your family affairs."
"The little one has his own idea, so there is no need to trouble the prince in this matter."
"Family affairs must have the order of your parents, the words of the matchmaker, what kind of system do you make your own decisions."
"Could it be that the prince wants to be like the eldest brother back then?"
"Xiang'er, what happened back then was my father's mistake, my father already regretted it very much, how could he repeat the mistakes of the past."
"I don't have to worry about my affairs, if the prince has nothing else to do, the little one will retire."
"The woman's side has already entrusted a matchmaker, and I have agreed, so I can't help you."
"Since it has been decided, you can marry the prince yourself, it's not that the prince hasn't done this, the prince doesn't say that there is one more woman in the courtyard, but ten or eight more is too little. Take care of the prince, and the little one will retire. β
Xu Xiang walked out of the courtyard of Prince Xuanhe, and an adult man waiting outside the door walked side by side with him.
When he was about to reach the intersection, the man saw that Xu Xiang had no intention of speaking, and asked, "What is my father looking for you?" β
"Relatives." Xu Xiang didn't want to talk much.
"Seventh brother, the eldest brother advises you, come back, do you really want to live in that town for the rest of your life, you have reached the age of fifteen, and it is time to marry."
"Big brother, I have my own opinions on this matter, I don't want to be used as a pawn by him like my eldest brother did back then."
"Well, that's fine. When are you going to come back to help Big Brother. β
"After being admitted to the martial arts, how was that Zhou Ruo?"
"He is a general, as long as he is well trained, he will be of great use in the future. Although his wife is not as good as him, she is also a good assistant, and the two work together seamlessly. β
"That's good."
"Seventh brother, you stay at home for a few more days, and our brothers can talk well."
"Big brother. Although you and I don't meet, we understand each other's situations, so why bother if it's an interview or not. β
"Alas, the seventh brother is older, and he no longer likes to follow the eldest brother like when he was a child, so it's up to you to do the rest, but tonight you must follow me to visit the master, and let the master give you a careful examination to see if the residual poison in the body is cleared."
When Xu Xiang returned from the capital. There are five days left until the Liangping Town Talent Competition.
At this time, Ge Kailin saw that Ge Li'e's pre-submission work was twelve pictures of the work of the Liyi Workshop embroidered on light yarn.
Twenty-four to be exact.
Ge Li'e uses a double-sided embroidery method, the front and back content embroidery is different, the blank space is embroidered with Juanjuan font, and the scene on the interpretation map, regardless of the characters' expressions or movements, are vivid.
The pictures are only the size of Ge Tianyu's palm, and they look like they are looking at comic books.
"Wow. Sister-in-law, it's so good-looking, sister-in-law will definitely win the first place in this competition. Gerkelyn exclaimed.
Ge Li'e's face was indifferent, and she asked Ge Kaiwu: "Is it okay to do my sister-in-law a favor?" β
Ge Kaiwu didn't expect to have his own business: "Huh? What's up. β
"I'd like to decorate these embroideries. You're the smartest in your hands, help me make some borders. β
"Sister-in-law's painting is so exquisitely embroidered, what if I break it, let's find someone who specializes in this."
"It's okay, didn't your mother say that the competition is just for participation. As long as you put your heart into it, it's not fun to ask others to help. β
Wu Limei asked, "Li'e, are you ready for the clothes you wore on the day of the competition?" β
Ge Li'e said: "I'm ready, I'll wear it for my sister-in-law." β
When Gree reappeared in front of everyone, everyone's eyes lit up.
The lake green one-piece dress, the belt is slightly darker, and it is not deliberately tightened, but it seems that the thin waist is not enough to grasp, and the embroidered shoes of the same color under the skirt seem to be exposed, with a light brown light gauze shawl, if others match it like this, it may look nondescript, but on Ge Li'e, it is lined with red lips and white teeth, and her face is delicate.
The twelve embroidered paintings, which are already brown as the main color, complement each other with the shawl, which is even more outstanding.
Ge Kailin's eyes were sharp: "Sister-in-law, is there still a pattern on the edge of this shawl?" β
"Little elf, nothing can escape you, look at it, do you recognize it?" Glière handed the shawl to Gordon.
The two ends of the rectangular shawl are finely embroidered with a circle of zodiac signs, the same color as the light yarn, each is only the size of Ge Kailin's little finger.
These zodiac signs have different shapes, they are just scribbled by Ge Kailin when she is fine, Ge Li'e once said that she would embroider into a pattern, Ge Kailin thought that her sister-in-law was just teasing her, but she didn't expect Ge Li'e to really do it.
"My sister-in-law is cautious, if she can't win the ranking in this competition, she can only be blinded by the referee." Kevin Ge came in.
Gordon was surprised.
Ge Kevin has never been noncommittal about the affairs of his daughter's family, when did he start to pay attention to this matter.
Just as he was about to look up, he heard an "ouch" sound, and Ge Kailin felt pain on the top of his head, but it was not him who exhaled the pain, but Ge Kaiwen.
Ge Kaiwen came directly behind Ge Kailin as he spoke, looked down at the shawl, Ge Kailin looked up, Ge Kaiwen was caught off guard, and was just hit by Ge Kailin's chin.
Kevin Ge held his chin with one hand and gently rubbed the top of his sister's head with the other, and the two of them smoked cold together.
Ge Kailin's eyes were full of tears, and she complained: "Second brother, do you have nothing to do all day, why do you always follow me and don't need to read books?" β
Ge Kaiwen sneered: "Learning can only benefit if you have to be relaxed, not to mention that my sister-in-law's competition is a major event in the family." β
Hey? Is this still the nerd who doesn't listen to anything outside the window?
It seems that people just want to go out and walk more and broaden their horizons, no wonder my father and mother want my second brother to go to Shengcheng to study despite the young age of the second brother.
Ge Kaiwu pulled Ge Kailin over, glared at the second brother who hurt his sister, and coaxed: "Sister, don't cry, the fifth brother has already made a fine charcoal a few days ago, I wanted to surprise my sister, but today the second brother provoked my sister, and the fifth brother will go to see it with my sister, don't cry." β
Ge Kailin was speechless, where did she cry, it was obviously so painful that she couldn't help crying. Still moved by Ge Kaiwu's love, Huan Huanxi followed Ge Kaiwu to see the fine charcoal, leaving Ge Kaiwen with his chin in both hands, he was also very painful.
"Fifth brother. Sister, I'm here, where are you going, what is my sister holding in her hand? β
Ge Kailin held Ge Kaiwu's new pencil, and the brother and sister held hands. One was about to return to the main house, Ge Kaizhen rushed in, and shouted as soon as he saw the two of them.
Behind him was Cathy Grig.
"Fine charcoal? Great, I have a hard time reading medical books, and it is too troublesome to write annotations, so this one is useful, and this root belongs to me. β
Ge Kaizhen handed the fine charcoal pen that Ge Kailin showed her to the girl behind her, it was not enough: "Sister, is there anything else?" β
Ge Kaiwu was dissatisfied: "Fourth sister, you are too domineering, this thin pen is specially made for my sister." If you take it away before your sister uses it, how can you do this, sister. β
Ge Kaizhen laughed: "Fifth brother, you don't know when I do, how can you make only one pen for your sister, you are so skillful, even if you really only make one this time, I will take it away and you will do it again, do you still care about this one?" β
The two really deserve to have grown up together since childhood, Ge Kaizhen said that, Ge Kaizhen snorted angrily and turned his head to ignore her.
Got a new charcoal. Ge Kaizhen was in a good mood, and her hippie smiling face pestered Ge Kaiwu all the way, and she got two fine charcoal pens before she stopped.
The work prepared by Cathy Ge is larger, with a shepherd on the front.
on the screen. A beautiful woman whips a sheep to drive away, and then looks at the reverse side, two goats, four horns against each other, is a picture of a fighting sheep.
Both of these paintings were painted by Glière, and Cathy Griffin gave her all her skills. I finished embroidering it yesterday.
Hearing that Ge Kaiwu was going to make a frame for Ge Li'e, Ge Kaiqian was moved and asked Ge Kaiwu to help her frame the work into a kang screen.
Because of the talent competition, the rental area of Ge's house was full a few days ago, and there was a steady stream of people coming to ask, Ge Tianyu could only say that he couldn't help.
After the lessons of the previous days, the order and law and order in the rental area in the north of the town have been greatly improved, and the guests have been full in the past few days.
Residents who are active can also make a profit by freeing up one or two rooms of their house to rent to guests.
If there were people who came late, they had to rent houses in the surrounding villages and towns, and they came early on the day of the competition.
Master Shi regretted beating his chest for a while, and in just over a month, the land price in Liangping Town has doubled.
He originally thought that the Ge family would build a house on the fertile land and expand the business in the rental area, but he didn't expect that the Ge family would build a fence around the outer edge of the land, and then there would be no movement.
Master Shi was itching, and once sent someone to bribe the Ge family guards, asking why Liangtian was fenced up and what it was for, but the person who bribed the guards was directly sent back to the Shi family by the guards, and lost the face of Master Shi.
That's it, Master Shi is still unwilling, he heard that the Ge family has been buying people recently, so he mixed his henchmen in the human market to try to get the Ge family to buy them back, and in a blink of an eye, someone sued him, and his henchmen didn't know where they had been resold.
Out-of-town contestants 6 continued to come to Liangping Town, and some small traders saw business opportunities with them.
Ge Kailin pestered her father and mother to go out to play every day, and her family knew that she was hungry for those foods, so they followed her wishes, but they sent more people to follow.
Mother Liu asked Wu Limei to train Liu Geng's family to take over the errand of her housekeeper, and she ******** serve Ge Kailin.
"Mother Liu, I want to eat that fried dumpling."
"Sixth Miss, the second lady said that if you eat too much fried things, you will get angry."
"Mother Liu, is that a sugar gourd?"
"Miss Six, you have already eaten a bunch today, and eating more is not good for your teeth."
"Mom Liu, I want to drink mutton bone soup."
"Miss Six, the autumn is dry, shall we drink it in a few days?"
Alas, although Mother Liu is intimate to herself, she is just not good, she thinks too much about eating, and after a few times, Ge Kailin becomes sullen and doesn't like to talk very much.
Mother Liu couldn't bear it, and asked Ge Kailin: "Is Miss Six bored?" β
Ge Kailin shook her head: "Life is in the world, the word eating and drinking, it is not okay to eat this, it is not okay to eat that, what is the meaning of living." β
Mother Liu couldn't cry or laugh, Miss Six was so young, where did this kind of strange argument come from, the tone sounded like Mrs. Wu, and she couldn't help but smile and asked, "What does Miss Six want to eat?" β
Ge Kailin is depressed, I want to eat everything, but you are still verbose when I say it.
A voice sounded from the side: "Miss Six, there is a wonton stall in front, I can eat it, do you want to give it a try?" β
Ge Kailin was surprised, where did this guy with facial paralysis come from, and he was followed by the little guy who seemed to never grow up.
There are too many people on the street, the carriage can't walk, Ge Kailin is small, and her legs and feet are not dexterous, every day she goes out to shop, Shui Yue and Shui Jue take turns to hold or carry her, Liu Ma also wants to hug her, but in the end, Ge Kailin is a small meat mound, Liu Ma can't walk a few steps with her, so she handed it over to Shui Yue.
Shui Yue has been tall in the past two years, and he is only eight years old, he looks like he is twelve or thirteen years old, Ge Kailin sat on Shui Yue's shoulder, and took advantage of the advantage to look at the front and back of the street, and he didn't remember seeing Xu Xiang.
For Xu Xiang's stay in Ge's house, Liu's mother has become accustomed to it, although Xu Xiang is not a member of the Ge family, but he comes to Ge's house every day to report, but treats his own home as a hotel, and his home is just a place to sleep at night.
Even so, when Xu Xiang was talking to Ge Kailin like this on the street, Mother Liu still felt that Xu Xiang was a little abrupt, and she immediately stood in front of Shui Yue, separating Xu Xiang from her sixth lady.
Ge Kailin didn't care about this, pulled away Liu's mother, and asked, "Where is the wonton stall?" β
"I'll take you." Xu Xiang said, just turn around and leave.
The wonton stall is set up on the side of the river, and in recent years, Liangping Town has wanted to see prosperity, and the town has been expanding, and the small river, which was originally a little away from the town, has now been encompassed on the edge of the town.
The owner of the wonton stall may have arrived late and did not occupy a good stall, so he had to place the stall by the river.
The wonton seller is an elderly couple, the old man is quick with his hands and feet, making wontons, cooking wontons, and serving wontons.
The old wife has a staggering gait, only responsible for collecting the dishes, and only uses her right hand to work, her left arm seems to be fixed, bent forward and attached to the abdomen, and her right hand is not flexible, only one pair of dishes and chopsticks at a time, and she holds it hard, lest she fall to the ground.
In addition to work, the old man told his wife from time to time to be careful, not to fall, and if he had a little spare time, the old man would take care of it himself.
The long table in front of the stall is connected by two low tables with benches on either side, and if you sit loosely, there are at least four people on each side.
When Ge Kailin and her entourage arrived at the wonton stall, they ordered a few bowls of wontons first, and because there were no empty seats, they stood and waited for the other guests to finish eating.
Shi Liang was hugged by several family members and also arrived in front of the wonton stall, the family drove away the guests who were eating wontons, Shi Liang swaggered and sat in the middle of the bench, and the family stood behind Shi Liang, staring at passers-by.
The old couple didn't dare to say anything, and they were busy making wontons for Shi Liang.
Ge Kailin was disgusted in her heart, wanted to leave, and was worried that the old couple would be bullied by Shi Liang, so she stayed where she was and saw what would happen next. (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
