Chapter Forty-Six: A Strange Past

Seeing Dong Qixi's mysterious look, the little carpenter said with a wry smile: "It's not with Gu Xicheng, it's his daughter Gu Chanyi......"

When Dong Qixi heard it, he didn't hold the shelf, but smiled at him, and patted the little carpenter on the shoulder, and said: "You can, that guy in Gu Xicheng looks average, but he gave birth to a girl, but he is a smart girl, with flowers and moonlight, ice muscles and jade bones, among the young people in the Great Snow Mountain, the first beauty is proper, which has caused many young students to be excited, tossing and turning at night, and it is difficult to sleep, but I didn't expect to fall into your arms - if this matter is known by those young people, I don't know how much I hate you......"

The little carpenter saw that he looked disrespectful to the old man, and couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Dong, don't joke about this matter, not to mention that I haven't met Gu Xicheng's predecessors and Gu Chanyi at all, even if I do, people may not recognize me." ”

His master has passed away, and the friendship has long been broken, and he is actually ready to pay the debts to Gu Xicheng.

Dong Qixi listened, actually nodded, and then said: "The Gu family has a girl who has just grown up, and she is so outstanding, naturally there are thousands of women in the family, over the years, I have heard that many wealthy families have asked Gu Xicheng for marriage, and I even helped my daughter-in-law's nephew ask, but Gu Xicheng's old boy has not spoken, indicating that he still remembers this." It's just that your master has passed away, which is indeed a problem......"

He groaned for a while, but raised his head and said to the little carpenter: "But don't worry, I have some friendship with Lao Gu, and I will definitely try my best to facilitate this when the time comes." ”

The little carpenter didn't know why, his heart was a little empty, and he couldn't help but say, "Actually, I'm not in such a hurry......"

Dong Qixi smiled and said that young people should not be so calm and calm, at your age, if everything is relaxed and does not fight or grab, you will lose a lot of opportunities - I know what you are worried about, Miss Gu is absolutely beautiful and worthy of you.

The little carpenter didn't want to continue talking to him about Gu Chanyi, but asked another person: "Brother Dong, I want to ask you something." ”

Dong Qixi said: "But it doesn't hurt to talk about it. ”

The little carpenter said: "I want to know how Gu Xicheng's younger brother, that is, Gu Baiguo's father, died, and I heard that Gu Baiguo's mother was imprisoned in what snow cave, and she was driven out of the Great Snow Mountain, why is this?" ”

When Dong Qixi heard this, he couldn't help frowning and asked him, "What did that kid Gu Baiguo tell you?" ”

The little carpenter shook his head, and then said, "She refuses to talk about the Great Snow Mountain lineage, in fact, if it weren't for the poison of the Ghost King, she wouldn't even talk about those things just now—but I feel that she still wants to go back to the Great Snow Mountain line and learn medical skills, so I just want to ask you what is going on." ”

Dong Qixi pondered for a while, and then said: "Brother, it stands to reason that you ask me if I look up to me, what I should know, I will tell you anything, it's just ......"

He looked very embarrassed, paused, and then said: "This matter involves a lot of inside stories in the Great Snow Mountain, as the so-called 'family ugliness cannot be publicized', so from my mouth, some are not very good, and it is not objective." If you really want to know, you can ask the person concerned, and it might be better. ”

The little carpenter heard a lot of hidden feelings from his words, thought of Gu Baiguo's silence, became more and more curious, and asked, "Who is the party?" ”

Dong Qixi opened his mouth and said: "You can ask Lao Gu, or his daughter Cicada Yi, in short, the Gu family." ”

After he finished speaking, his apprentice Xiaodong rushed over and said to him: "Master, the handsome third aunt started to feel chest tightness in the morning, and she was nauseous and wanted to vomit. ”

When Dong Qixi heard it, he answered, then patted the little carpenter's shoulder and said, "Brother, I'll go over first, don't worry, I will definitely do my best to promote the matter between you and Lao Gu's daughter." ”

He turned to leave, and the little carpenter looked at his back, but did not bother to go over to watch the people play chess, but returned to the room.

A simple conversation with Dong Qixi just now made him think of many things.

It can be seen that there are actually a lot of stories behind Gu Baiguo's expulsion from the Great Snow Mountain, but I don't know what the reason is, Gu Baiguo is reluctant to say it, and Dong Qixi, a somewhat detached person, has no way to face and comment truthfully.

I don't know why, the more the little carpenter thinks about it, the more he feels that Gu Baiguo is a little pitiful.

At such a young age, he was abandoned, and under the fence of that uncle's house, even if he was not blinded, he had to be careful......

No wonder she's so sensible.

The little carpenter didn't feel it before, but now that he thinks about it, the more sensible Gu Baiguo is, the more his heart hurts.

He kept thinking of Gu Baiguo's little pitiful little face, and he almost couldn't help but want to leave and return to Lingyan Mountain to find someone.

However, he still held back in the end, because tomorrow night's celebration banquet is also very important, if he can know Da Shuai, or know the power figures around Da Shuai, maybe it is more likely to find Gu Baiguo.

He had to control his emotions and then endure it.

He must be like an adult in order to be able to live strong in this cruel world.

In the afternoon of the next day, the little carpenter who had been in the room was called open by Dong Qixi, and the personal doctor, who had a good status in the Marshal's Mansion, walked into the house and saw a pile of wood chips in the little carpenter's house, and on his left hand, he was holding a wood carving of about four inches.

It was made of boxwood, which should have been carefully polished and looked smooth and reflective.

Dong Qixi was a little curious, looked at it seriously, and was startled: "Handsome? ”

The little carpenter nodded and said, "Well, I carved the portrait in the hall over there, because I haven't seen myself, so I'm not sure if the portrait is ......."

Dong Qixi listened to it and couldn't help laughing: "I said, no wonder this statue is young and heroic, it turned out that he learned from those painters, in fact, the handsome man is not so heroic and dazzling, excessive work makes him sleep poorly, his skin is dull, and he looks old - but it doesn't matter, the handsome thing is here......"

He pointed to his brain and said: "The strategy, local management and connections, as well as the prestige in the army, are the fundamental reasons why he is so handsome. ”

When the little carpenter heard this, he was a little dismayed, and said, If this is the case, then I have not done this thing in vain?

Dong Qixi shook his head and said how could it be? The handsome man is also a person, so he naturally likes his heroic appearance, what are you planning to do? Do you want to give it as a gift? If that's the case, I think Dashuai will like it very much, mainly because your craftsmanship is so good, carved vividly, lifelike, as if you want to come back to life - how can you still have such a craft?

When the little carpenter heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "This is my old job." ”

Dong Qixi saw this wood carving, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and his understanding of the little carpenter deepened, but he still asked him: "Why did you think of making this?" ”

The little carpenter rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Didn't I want to ask the handsome man to help find the ginkgo seeds, it must mean something." ”

Dong Qixi nodded, and said that you are right, if it is a farewell, the handsome may not be able to look at it, because it is not rare at all, but this thing is really good - it's a pity that the wood is a little worse, if you use that small leaf rosewood, maybe it will be better.

The little carpenter smiled bitterly and said that I am a poor bastard, where can I get such a thing?

It's not that the little carpenter with red sandalwood has never seen it, and even a few days ago he took it from Wujian and carved a wooden sword himself.

But for a while, I really couldn't find it.

Dong Qixi saw the completed handsome wood carving, thought about it, and said to him: "Gift, half of my mind is on the packaging, you give it to me, I'll help you wrap it, and turn around and hand it to the handsome - don't worry about it, I won't borrow flowers to offer Buddha, you know, the security around the handsome is very strict, if you give it, I'm afraid I won't be close to the handsome." ”

The little carpenter gave his hand and said so, then please.

Dong Qixi took the things and couldn't wait to get them in a hurry, but when he walked to the door, he turned around and said to him: "I almost forgot about it when we talked, Sect Leader Luo asked me to come over and ask you to come over, tonight's celebration party, you are a great hero, you have to be there in advance." ”

After he finished speaking, he weighed the things in his hand, asked the little carpenter to wait for a while, and he called his apprentice Xiaodong to come over and take him into the mansion in a while.

Not long after Dong Qixi left, Xiaodong arrived.

This junior, who was not much younger than the little carpenter, respectfully said a few words to the little carpenter that needed attention, and then led him out of the yard and walked outside.

The little carpenter originally wanted to talk to Xiaodong and greet him with false affection, but when he saw him looking businesslike, he lost interest.

The worship courtyard is next to the Great Marshal's Mansion, not far away.

When they went out, people came out of the compound one after another, and some acquaintances saw the little carpenter and greeted him.

The big marshal's mansion, that is, the "Liu Mansion", has a high door, and the two huge stone lions at the door look very much like the ancient yamen.

The little carpenter entered the Liu Mansion under the leadership of Xiao Dong, and the cold snow knife on his back was taken down, left in the gatehouse and placed, and then guided to a spacious hall.

Xiao Dong led the people to the place, threw down a sentence and slipped away, the little carpenter stood in the corner of the hall, and saw that the hall was full of people in twos and threes, standing in twos and threes, forming a small circle of communication, but he was alone, which was really a little embarrassing.

He waited for a while, but he didn't see Luo Qingguang or Luo Yanhu and other acquaintances, so he couldn't help but look at his nose and nose, and fell into a daze.

At this moment, suddenly a person came next to the little carpenter, but he bowed to him, and then said, "Ganjun, we meet again." ”
