Chapter 36: Distress

() It's New Year's Eve in a few hours, and the fruit is with you and loves you!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Baili Muyan himself didn't know how he could recognize Gu at a glance after such a distance, but he knew very well that that person was her.

Baili Muyan looked at Gu with cold eyes, and felt a little unhappy in her heart, she actually dressed up as a man to buy things here, if she really wanted to dress up as a man, at least she had to have a beard or make her appearance mediocre, she only wore men's clothes like this, what was the difference between her and a woman.

It was almost noon, and the bracelet that Gu had already sold out, and just as she was packing up her things, she suddenly heard a voice.

"Little brother, are you all sold?"

A man's voice sounded out of breath behind him.

Gu turned his head and saw a tall and thin man in his twenties, wearing a gray and white cotton gown, although it was washed a little faded, but it was very smooth, and the man was carrying a small bamboo basket with scrolls in it, which should be a calligraphy and painting seller.

"Is there anything wrong with you?" Gu looked at him strangely.

"Hey, it's still a little late, it's just that I've heard someone say that you have a marriage rope here, so I want to come and see." After the man finished speaking, he gently wiped the sweat on his face with his sleeve, he had run all the way up the mountain just now.

"What do you call Childe?" Gu took out a piece of leftover silk cloth and handed it to him.

The man waved his hand, but did not answer, but clasped his fists and saluted Gu: "Under the surname Feng, the single name is a far word." ”

After looking at his speech and demeanor, he should be a scholar, so he asked curiously: "What is the use of Feng Shusheng buying a marriage rope?" ”

The scholar suddenly blushed, tilted his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "In the next, in the next just married, just because the family is poor, I have never bought any decent objects for my wife, not even a love token, I heard that the little brother has a marriage rope here, so I want to come up and have a look." ”

"Then do you know how much my marriage rope is?" After taking care of it, it seems that the price of the marriage rope is unbearable for scholars.

"I've inquired below, one tael of silver, and here are one or three taels of silver, plus these calligraphy and paintings, it should be enough to make up two taels of silver." As he spoke, the scholar put down the bamboo basket, took out a pair of calligraphy and paintings, and handed it to Gu.

Gu opened it and looked at it, and found that the scholar's painting was not bad, although it was a landscape painting, but the sense of hierarchy was very strong, and the mist in the mountains was also very hazy.

"Well, you can draw me a pair, and if it's good, I'll consider selling you a pair of ropes that I left behind."

"I'm just good at painting scenes, not very good at drawing people," the scholar excused...... the scholar excused.

"It's okay, you draw it."

The scholar gritted his teeth, he really wanted that pair of ropes, so even if he insisted on not drawing people, he would make an exception today.

Gu sat there eating snacks and watching the scenery, while the scholar was painting seriously.

About half an hour, the painting was completed, I looked at the painting, and I was a little surprised, I was dressed as a man, and I was so handsome, I had a good look, I was really happy, and I looked good no matter how I looked at it.

"You drew it very well, and this pair of ropes was given to you." Gu took out two gift boxes, which contained two ropes.

"Didn't you say it was sold out?" The scholar was a little surprised, he thought that he would give him the remaining two after taking care of it, but he didn't expect there to be such a good-looking pair.

"This is what I have preserved, this pair of ropes is called the stars of spring, the silver jewelry on the women's hand rope is called the five-pointed star, which is the star in the sky, the jade on the men's hand rope, warm as water, is the white chalcedony I chose, this pair of ropes is very good."

The scholar was not happy, but his face was sad: "This ...... There aren't that many silver taels ...... down."

"It's okay, you painted for me, I'll send you." Gu Zhi stuffed the box directly into the scholar's hand.

"I can't do it, I can't help it, my wife once said that even if you do business abroad, you should have integrity, how can you accept your things for nothing? I can't do it, I can't do it. The scholar hurriedly waved his hand and refused.

"I'm from the Yue Lao Temple, you are so affectionate to your wife, I hope you can live a happy life, this should be sent to you on behalf of the Yue Lao."

"This ......"

"Oh, why are you so verbose? If you don't go back, your lady will be worried, and I don't have time to delay you. After that, he threw his things on the carriage and asked the coachman to prepare to leave.

"Thank you, brother, thank you!" The scholar saluted the carriage until he walked away.

After getting into the car, the coachman drove down the mountain, these things were rented by her money, and when they were used up, they would naturally return them, so that they could still make money.

Just when Gu started counting the money in the carriage, suddenly the carriage was bumpy, and the money was scattered in the carriage.

Gu hurriedly put away the silver, held it in his arms, and was about to lift the curtain to let the coachman slow down, but he saw a few fast horses coming down the mountain, and before he could see the people clearly, several people roared by.

The horses that were taken care of were naturally ordinary horses, and when those war horses ran over just now, they directly shocked the horse down, and they neighed all the way.

Gu was frightened, and clung to the wooden frame beside the car, thinking about whether to jump out of the car, and the coachman kept tightening the reins to stop the horse.

Just around the corner, the horse was still in a state of madness, and the coachman turned around and hurriedly said, "Childe, it's better to jump out of the car." ”

With that, the coachman jumped down, landed on a grass, and rolled a few times.

After complaining in my heart, you jumped, don't you care if the customer lives or dies!

The cliff is ahead, and if the horse doesn't turn, she'll die, but she's just made some money!

Just when he thought it was over, suddenly the horse stopped.

Seeing that the horse was frightened, Baili Muyan immediately followed, and then saw the coachman jumping out of the car and still being by the car, he flew directly over, clicked on one of the horse's holes, and immediately reined in the reins.

The sudden stop made Gu Xiang fall out of the carriage directly, and then fell into a warm embrace.

Gu was frightened, and his heart was still pounding, but when he looked up, he found that it was a strange man.

Baili Muyan saw Gu Liao fall out at that time, so he instinctively leaned over to catch her, but he didn't expect Gu Liao to consciously hug his neck.

Looking at Gu up close, he found that her eyes were so clean, like the afternoon sun, warm and clear.

Gu was sure that he didn't know this person, so he looked at him like this, and his heart was a little hairy, and he hurriedly pushed the man away.

"Much, thank you for saving me." After Gu said a word, he immediately lowered his head and began to sort out his money, and after counting it, he found that there was a lack of three taels!

Gu lowered his head and looked for it, there were still one or two next to the man's feet, Gu reached out to pick it up without hesitation, but was picked up by Baili Muyan first.
