Chapter 14: Smile
The master and servant walked to the counter, and Ah Xi asked, "Shopkeeper, is there any time for the latest issue of heroes to spare their lives?" ”
The shopkeeper shook his head, "Mr. Mingyue just sent the script, and the shop hasn't had time to print it yet." ”
Ah Xi took out a small silver ingot of five taels of silver and put it on the table, "Shopkeeper, please show the script to our young lady." ”
The shopkeeper thought about it, and there was not much loss at a glance, so he opened the small cabinet with a copper lock behind him and took out the notebook wrapped in a layer of cloth.
Ah Xi opened the cloth with his hands and feet and handed the script to Gu Yue'er.
Gu Yue'er quickly finished flipping through the book, she put the script back on the counter, and suddenly remembered that the scent of ink on the paper was very similar to that of the man in white just now.
Gu Yue'er immediately rushed out, the man in white had already disappeared, she sighed silently, she was thinking about the script just now, and she didn't look up to see what the man walking in front of her looked like.
"Ah Xi, when we entered the ink studio just now, did you notice what the man in white looked like when we walked towards us?"
Ah Xi thought about it for a while, "That person is a little tall, the slave didn't look up, that person is probably quite young, and I don't know anything else." ”
On the other side, a young man dressed in white left the Ink Shop, and after walking away, the little man behind him said, "Childe, don't you usually like to wear red?" ”
The man in white patted the little guy on the shoulder with the folding fan in his hand, "You are stupid! Although I usually wear red, I always change to white when it is time to deliver the manuscript! Because wearing white clothes makes people feel knowledgeable. ”
This white-clothed son is Qiao Xuan, the only son of the eldest princess of Wanhua, who is known as the most beautiful man in the capital because of his handsome face.
Princess Wanhua is the sister of His Majesty's father and mother, and her relationship with Her Majesty is very close.
Gu Yue'er has the ability to never forget, she has an amazing memory, after coming out of the ink shop, she went to the nearest Gu Ji shop, and asked the shopkeeper for paper and pen.
It only took an hour for Gu Yue'er to write out all the contents of the book, wrap it in brown paper, and hand it to the young man in the shop.
"Send this to General Shenwei's Mansion and give it to Miss Li."
"Yes, Miss."
The young man immediately took his things and ran away.
Li Yushuang, the eldest lady of General Shenwei's Mansion, and Gu Yue'er are good sisters, and both of them like to read Mr. Mingyue's script, so every time Gu Yue'er gets the script, the first thing she does is to send a copy to General Shenwei's Mansion to Li Yushuang to see.
After Gu Yue'er was done, she walked to the door of the shop to see the two people from the Ji Family Dart Bureau newly arranged.
I saw the two of them holding ash sticks, standing at the door with their faces stretched, like door gods, it was quite scary to look at.
Gu Yue'er asked the two, "What's your name?" ”
"Little Geely."
"Little auspiciousness."
Gu Yue'er thought for a while and said to the two: "You should smile, so that the atmosphere is good." ”
The two tugged at the corners of their mouths, laughing more ugly than crying.
Gu Yue'er saw the smiles of the two, and the corners of her mouth twitched, "Why can't you even laugh?" ”
Ji Li replied: "Back to the eldest lady, the little ones usually dart outside, so they have to be more serious so that people can look scared and dare not provoke." ”
"Axi, go to the shop and get two bronze mirrors."
Ah Xi took out two bronze mirrors, handed them over one by one, and said to the two: "Look for yourself, are you smiling very scary?" ”
After Ji Li and Ji Qi looked in the mirror, they were so frightened that they threw the mirror directly to the ground.
Ah Xi picked up the bronze mirror from the ground and blew it, sighing: "Fortunately, it is a bronze mirror, otherwise it would have been broken." ”
Gu Yue'er smiled, but she was wearing a fox mask, and no one could see how captivating her smile was.
"Axi, bring them the bronze mirror and let them practice smiling."
The two practiced in front of the mirror for a while, but they still laughed ugly.
Gu Yue'er stood in front of the two of them and asked, "If you are paid one or two taels of silver a day, you will not be happy." ”
The two listened to Gu Yue'er's words, and finally showed a heartfelt smile.
Gu Yue'er immediately shouted to stop, "Stop, just this smile, don't change." ”
Jili and Jiqi looked in the mirror, and their smiles really became much better.
Gu Yue'er said to the two: "When the guests come, in addition to smiling, you have one more greeting. ”
"Miss, how do we say hello?"
Gu Yue'er thought for a while and said to the two: "Just four words welcome." ”
At this time, a couple came over, and Jili smiled and said, "Welcome." ”
The husband and wife were very happy when they heard this, and the woman said to Xiang Gong: "Xianggong, this shop is good." ”
The man nodded and analyzed to his wife: "The two people with ash sticks at the door, with big shoulders and round waists, know that they are Lian Jiazi, and with them guarding the door, those thieves will not dare to come in and mess around in the future, madam, you will all go to the grocery store of the Gu family to buy things in the future." ”
Gu Yue'er listened to the couple's conversation and nodded with satisfaction.
Ji Li smiled and asked, "Miss, do you really add one or two taels of silver to us every day?" ”
Ah Xi pouted, "If you want to be beautiful, you go to other shops to see, it's much less than your salary, and you still want to pay a tael of silver a day, it's really a dream, and other people don't earn as much as you." ”
Jili's face was red when he was scolded.
Gu Yue'er added: "There will be no silver or two a day, but if you maintain this kind of friendly smile, I will add a penny to your smile subsidy every day." ”
Jili and Jiqi were very happy, smiled, and added an extra penny a day, which is a lot.
Gu Yue'er thought of other ancient shops in the capital and instructed Ah Xi: "I'll stay in the shop first, you and Jili go to other shops, teach them to smile, in addition to smiling, but also shout welcome to the guests." ”
"Yes, miss."
There is a small courtyard behind each Gu Ji shop, and in each courtyard there is a separate room belonging to Gu Yue'er.
Gu Yue'er walked into the backyard, sat at the small round table under the big tree, took off the fox mask and put it on the table.
The shopkeeper personally sent the tea tray, put the white porcelain cup with the red plum pattern in front of Gu Yue'er, and then poured it full of tea.
"Miss, please have tea."
"Thank you, Uncle Niu."
The shopkeeper of Gu Ji basically knows Gu Yue'er.
Gu Qingfeng planned to let Gu Yue'er be the successor of the Gu family, so when he summoned the shopkeepers, he often asked Gu Yue'er to listen in the study.
The shopkeeper was about to say a few words to the young master, when he heard the sound of a gong outside.
Gu Yue'er pricked up her ears and listened to the voice coming from afar, shouting that the water had gone.
Gu Yue'er said to the shopkeeper Niu: "Uncle Niu, go and see where the water is?" It has no effect on us. ”
When the shopkeeper returned to the front shop, Gu Yue'er immediately got into her hut, changed into a black night clothes, opened the window at the back of the house, and flew out of the window.
Behind is a small alley, Gu Yue'er is light and strong, flying all the way, and soon arrived at the place where the fire started.
