Chapter 3 The Mandate of Heaven is determined
"Gu Xiangshi, you help me calculate the marriage, I will pay a thousand dollars!" A sharp female voice attracted the attention of the audience, An Su turned her head to look, and it was the eldest lady of the Jiang family who came in a hurry before, Jiang Qingran.
"Qingran, where did we get our daughter?" Bo Chu was in a hurry, worried that she would take the rent to pay the divination money, so she pounced and went up to stop her. The front was blocked by the human wall, and she didn't find a way out after a few pounces, and she stomped her feet even more anxiously, not knowing how to explain to her father when she went back.
"Thank you, young lady." The white-clothed man smiled indifferently, "But Gu Mou's divination only looks at the edge of his eyes, and he doesn't ask for a daughter." ”
After he said that, he raised his gaze and swept lightly into the crowd, and immediately met An Su's eyes. An Su felt that his ears were very hot, and the temperature seemed to pass through his ears and climb to his face. She was startled, and quickly lowered her head, avoiding the culprit's gaze, so as not to stain her cheeks red.
"I see that girl is very much in line with Gu's mind, so let Gu come and make a hexagram for the girl!" The white-clothed man seemed to raise his hand and point at random, An Su couldn't help but quietly raise his head, and the slender white fingertips were already aimed at her.
"What?!" Jiang Qingran turned around and looked, and suddenly became so angry that he tried his best to push away the crowd, and rushed to Bo Churuo with anger on his face.
"You little, just now you pretended that I delayed the collection of rent, and I caused Gu Xiangshi to come." Jiang Qingran only cared about scolding Bo Churuo with his head and face, and he didn't see who the white-clothed man was referring to. She was just rejected, and she was full of anger and shame and had nowhere to vent, mistakenly thinking that the white-clothed physiognomy had chosen Bo Churuo, so she raised her hand high, and a slap was about to swing it in her face.
"Which eye did you see her seducing?" Liu Le quickly intercepted Jiang Qingran's slap and threw her hand aside, "I think you can't seduce her and make her angry, it's really shameless." ”
"You!" Looking at Jiang Qingran's appearance, it seemed that he had never been wronged since he was a child, and he was suddenly scolded on the street, and he was suddenly annoyed and angry, and he couldn't speak, so he raised his hand regardless of it, and slapped Liu Le again.
It's a pity that she couldn't hit her twice with a wave of her palm, and the white-clothed gentleman jumped down from the second floor, and landed in front of them steadily, and he would intercept Jiang Qingran's slap. The sleeves of his coat swept in front of An Su, and for a moment he only felt a pleasant aroma and refreshed.
"Gu's divination is all based on fate, if a few young ladies have a dispute because of this, it will lose Gu's original intention." The white-clothed man turned to face An Su, "What's more, you misunderstood, the person chosen by Gu is not Miss Bo, but this Shangguan An Su girl." ”
He was very close, An Su had to raise his eyes to look at him, the eyes of this Xiangshi were extremely beautiful, not like a serious Xiangshi, but like a legendary demon. There are only these eyes, which are extremely incommensurate with his posture of dancing like a fairy all over his body, as if a god and Buddha admired by thousands of people, but he gave birth to a fox face.
"Miss Shangguan, do you want Gu to calculate your fate or marriage?" The white-clothed scholar asked her with a smile, the fragrance entered her nose again, An Su had never smelled such a good smell before.
"Divination is a glimpse of the destiny of heaven, if you know it early, what is the interest in the days to come?" An Su took a step back and distanced himself from him, "Thank you Gu Xiangshi for your kindness, please find someone else." ”
"You are the person selected by Gu today, how can you say that you can change it?" The white-clothed man still had a smile on his lips.
There was some resentment in An Su's eyes: "Gu Xiangshi may be highly respected by everyone, but not everyone in the world is willing to get your hexagram, and we in Qinghe County have no reason to buy and sell." ”
There was a hint of joy in the eyes of the white-clothed minister, and he waved his sleeves freely: "Even if the Shangguan girl is unwilling, then Gu Mou's hexagram today is uncertain, and there is no need to choose someone else." ”
He glanced at An Su deeply, turned to leave, but was stopped again.
An Su walked up to him: "Come and don't be rude, since Gu Xiangshi has learned my name, why don't you report your name?" ”
The white-clothed Xiangshi pursed his lips and smiled, his gaze stayed on her face for a long time, and it was only after An Su felt that his face was hot that he took a step forward to her ear. With such an out-of-the-ordinary move, An Su hurriedly retreated, bringing a breeze with him, and his voice could be heard lightly.
"Miss Shangguan, remember, my name is Gu Wenzhou."
As soon as Gu Wenzhou left, everyone dispersed, and the Huiyue Teahouse, which was very lively, also calmed down, leaving only An Su and the four of them.
"Looking at your coarse linen clothes, I thought you were a serious peasant girl, but I didn't expect you to be a fox. I don't even have a decent dress, and I still have the courage to stand in front of Gu Xiangshi, I am really not ashamed. Jiang Qingran's anger did not subside, and he wanted to sprinkle his anger on An Su again.
"What a fox! An Su is beautiful, so Gu Xiangshi naturally saw her at a glance. A crooked melon and cracked jujube like you, no one pays attention to you even if you pounce on it. Liu Lexin was straightforward, and as soon as these words came out, Jiang Qingran's face was even more indignant.
An Su hurriedly stepped forward and blocked Liu Le behind him. She deliberately looked Jiang Qingran up and down, and said softly: "The clothes on my body are indeed not as precious as Miss Jiang, but they are really genuine, sewn with stitches and threads." And more than half of these jewels and jade jewelry on Miss Jiang's body are fakes. ”
"You talk nonsense! These are all jewels in our Jiang family's shop, how can they be fake! Jiang Qingran was really anxious, and argued loudly with An Su, causing passers-by to stop and watch frequently.
"Jiang's shop is a big shop in our Qinghe County, so naturally it will not produce fakes. It's just that these jewelry on Miss Jiang's body ...... An Su raised her voice, "Just like this golden hairpin on her head, you can see it at a glance, but it is just a layer of gold water plated on the surface of the ordinary copper hairpin." ”
"No, it can't be, you're talking nonsense!" Jiang Qingran's expression became more and more excited, although she tried her best to refute, the golden hairpin on her head seemed to weigh a thousand catties, which made her breathless.
"And this jade bracelet on my hand, it looks like a treasure, but on closer inspection, it is just made of quartz stone, which is just a fake."
"No, it's not." Jiang Qingran waved her hand again and again, and the jade bracelet on her hand seemed to be burned, as if it was going to burn her arm in the next second.
The people around who were watching the excitement gradually gathered, and An Su's words spread among them, and everyone began to point fingers at Jiang Qingran. She tugged at the corners of her clothes with both hands, feeling like a little white rabbit in a cage, oppressed by the horrible gaze of everyone.
"And Miss Jiang's earrings, are they ......" Before An Su finished speaking, Jiang Qingran covered his ears and shouted "Don't say it", then struggled to break away from the crowd and stumbled out. Bo Churuo hurriedly saluted and chased after him, and the crowd of onlookers dispersed again.
Looking at the back of Jiang Qingran leaving, An Su raised the corners of her mouth slightly, the best is still to come!
"Ansu, you can even appreciate treasures, it's really amazing. Like me, I wear these things every day, and I don't know if it's real or not. Liu Le said with great interest, "Why don't you help me see if there are any fakes in these things?" ”
An Su finally took off the seriousness on his face, and laughed out loud: "How can I tell this? It's all nonsense. The young lady of the Jiang family was too arrogant, just to teach her a lesson. ”
"Nonsense?" Liu Le was puzzled, "Is it to make her make a fool of herself in front of everyone?" ”
An Su shook his head: "When you first arrived in our Qinghe County, you didn't know that the Jiang family was the largest jeweler here, and the family had a lot of money. Mr. Jiang is a great and kind person, not only often helping the poor people in the county, but he is also very diligent and thrifty, never extravagant and wasteful, so he is highly sought after by everyone. When the people in the county want to add some jewelry and jade jewelry, the first thing they think of will be the Jiang family's jewelry shop, and they can make a lot of money. ”
"But, what does this have to do with the jewelry on Jiang Qingran's body?"
"Jiang Qingran is the only daughter of Master Jiang, she has been pampered since she was a child, her food and clothing are all good, and no one dares to give her any anger." An Su showed a sly smile on her face, "Although I am talking nonsense today, I also let her be instructed on the street, and she is naturally angry in her heart. According to her character, when she comes home, she will be angry with the jewelry I mentioned. Master Jiang advocates frugality, if he finds out that his daughter deliberately destroyed those precious jewelry, will he be very angry? ”
"Do you want to punish that Jiang Qingran with Master Jiang's hand?" Liu Le suddenly realized.
"If she can control her temper and not act rashly, she will naturally not be punished, it is all up to her." An Su said lightly.
"Just like her, how can she control it!" Liu Le gloated and patted An Su's shoulder again, "Shangguan Ansu, you are so bad!" ”
After some delays, it was almost noon. An Su remembered the vegetable basket stored at Sister Chen's place, so she set off and walked back. It is estimated that at this time, my father and second brother should also go home, and now I have added Liu Le, and I have to buy some vegetables to entertain him.
Pulling Liu Le through a corner, he didn't see the elder sister of the Chen family, but the second brother Shangguan Changjun ran towards An Su in a hurry. He only rushed forward vigorously before, tears on his face, and he didn't see Ansu in front of him. It was An Su who stretched out his hand to block him, and then he rubbed his eyes and stopped, but he couldn't hold back the sobbing.
"What's going on? What about the father? Seeing him like this, An Su was so worried that he didn't bother to help him wipe his tears, so he hurriedly asked.
Changjun whimpered in his mouth: "Eldest sister, father, father, he, fell into the river." ”
"What?! Can you call someone to help? Ansu panicked.
Although the river where my father fished was called the "Qingshui River", the water in the river was very turbid, mixed with a lot of gravel and rocks, and there were many rocks and broken walls next to the river, which was really dangerous. Although the fish in the Qingshui River are fat, few people have the courage to go there, and only my father is not afraid of danger. Ansu also persuaded many times because of this, but her father was born bold and took pleasure in it, so she had to give a few more words of advice before going out every time.
Listening to An Su's anxious inquiry, Changjun wiped his tears again: "Shouting, but ...... Eldest sister, come with me to have a look! ”
