Chapter 43: Ninety-Nine to One
Out of the Song Mansion, Gu Chao walked slowly along the street.
Go back to the inn now, and when the time comes, it's better to walk back like this, not only to enjoy the beautiful scenery, but also to avoid explaining.
In fact, he had an awkward scene with Song Jinyao, Gu Chao was not only aggrieved in his heart, but also afraid that he would completely annoy Song Jinyao because of his momentary rush.
Master Song values his daughter's reputation so much, if he knew that he was guessing his daughter like this and ruining his daughter's innocence, would he be unwilling to cooperate with them? So how can Chang Yu continue on the side?
Even if it is like Qingzun Pavilion, which has a well-known status in the rivers and lakes, it is necessary to worry about the big bullying of customers.
Because their reputation is given by thousands of clients, when facing the client, people will respect you, and if they treat you as an errand runner, they can't say anything.
Thinking of this, Gu Chao's heart was like a few strands of rope were twisted, uncomfortable and entangled.
She was angry that Song Jinyao was so selfish, she had obviously been told that the central matter was like a weak look, and her answers were all ambiguous evasive remarks, but she still kept her mouth stiff.
As long as someone thinks about this matter for a while, they can think that it is definitely her Song Jinyao here, except for the problem.
However, Master Song is also busy with a kind of transformation realm, and he has been hiring outsiders to investigate, and the first few small dart bureaus that don't know where they come from must be thinking about silver and not doing practical things at all.
So for so long, Song Jinyao actually let him fish in such troubled waters.
Thinking of this, Gu Chao sneered in his heart.
No matter how hard they care, what's the use, in the eyes of Miss Song, they are just for silver, no different from those who deceive people.
But she still regretted it a little, she was angry with Song Jinyao just now, so she said something unpleasant, and she should bear with it more.
Maybe I can't be stalked, coupled with the Huairou policy, maybe I can ask it, but if I can't ask it, I can get more clues, even if I take the prescription.
If you think that you should have listened to Chang Heal at the beginning, you shouldn't think so much about others, and in the end, you still suffer a loss, and others don't accept your affection.
Forget it, it's all out, it's all like this, you can't go back with a straight face, give her time to think about the pros and cons.
If Song Jinyao still can't figure it out, for the sake of her ridiculous reputation, she doesn't care about the lives and deaths of others, and she can be regarded as mistaken about her, and she made this friend in vain, but she was blind to the plum blossom incense pills made by a junior sister.
For Song Jinyao, who can come out for a few days all year round, the most active place is only his own back garden, and he can't come out to meet people.
Gu Chao was very sympathetic at first, but now the people are simple and simple, and everyone is more enthusiastic and open.
Qingcheng County is like other ladies walking on the street, and the daughter of the Chi family still rides in a carriage every day to show the people in the city, and everyone still serves as a treasure and takes the silver to invest.
If it weren't for Master Song watching like he was taking his life every day, or if Song Jinyao saw a foreign man, what would it be.
Thinking of the Miss Chi family, Gu Chao was also curious, I wonder if she will come out again today? Not only did she want to see the face of the fish in the pond, but she also wanted to throw the vase.
After staying with the first beauty of Qingcheng County for a few days, I became curious about this pond fish that is second only to Song Jinyao.
Seeing that there were many more people on the street than on the day he first came down the mountain, Gu Chao planned to inquire about this Miss Gu with others.
Looking at it from afar, the vendor with colorful knick-knacks on the stall was the most enthusiastic and shouted the loudest. Then it's him.
When I got closer, I saw that the vendor's business was really good, and I saw several girls crowding around to buy it.
Gu Chao wanted to be able to talk to the hawker, and waited next to him for a while, and the vendor's stall was temporarily cleared. Gu Chao prepared his purse and stepped forward.
The peddler opened today, and his heart was full of joy, and when he saw another girl coming over, he looked at the clothes that seemed to be very good, and he thought which lady it was, so he squinted and smiled.
"This young lady, what do you like about me here?"
Looking at the colorful things he put on the stall, Gu Chao just let go of this and took a fancy to that one.
The flowers on those heads are very elegant, not at all like the cheesy appearance of the big red and pink sold elsewhere.
The water-blue and blue-dug yarn thousand-petal flower is very suitable for her.
It's just that the female disciples of the Qingzun Pavilion have pulled up their hair with a hairpin for the convenience of practicing, and several junior sisters have braided the hair behind them.
Because I don't like it, I have been wearing it, and I have a bun on the back of my head, and the hair on the back of my head is braided from each ear into a strand of hair, which is also refreshing.
It's just that no matter how elegant this flower is, it may not be suitable to take it on your head.
How clever the hawker is, seeing that she is hesitating when she looks at the pile of yarn thousand petals, she greets her warmly
"Girl, look at your hairstyle, it shouldn't be a young lady who stays in the boudoir, but there will always be a chance to wear it in the future, I missed it this time, I want it again in the future, and other families don't have it."
Gu Chao picked it up and looked at it again, probably not expensive, so he bought it.
She thought of Chang Yu again, so she planned to buy him a small gift as well.
"I want a hairpin for a man to tie his hair."
"Well, we have a lot of this."
While talking, he took out a carved box, opened it and saw that there were more than a dozen of them in good condition. Gu Chao picked one up and sniffed it.
"You're a more than ten year old Yinxiang wood, but it's all bare, why don't you carve some patterns?"
"Yo, the girl is a connoisseur, and this kind of wood is the most suitable for bundling hair crowns. I don't specialize in this, sometimes I go to find materials to make goods, there are a few pieces of wood, just buy a little, do not do much, not skilled, and then there is the fear of carving badly, the wood carved brittle, when the time comes people into the crown broken, not to smash my signboard. ”
Gu Chao listened, took out a knife from his sleeve, and was about to engrave it. When the hawker saw this, he immediately stopped him.
"Hey, girl, what are you?"
"Whatever you're anxious about, I'll buy what I've carved."
When the peddler heard this, he was half happy, half embarrassed.
"Girl, I have a hairpin for a tael of silver, I don't know girl, how many can I buy?"
Gu Chao stopped his movements and looked at his expression, and the vendor smiled flatteringly.
She knew that this peddler looked clever and enthusiastic, but in fact, he was also thinking about his own little Jiujiu.
Although this kind of Yinxiang wood is rare, it is not hard to find, and these are not the top goods in Yinxiangmu, probably because he picked up a leak somewhere, one or two silver, this is not a robbery.
Gu Chao put the hairpin back. I was about to leave, but I saw some large and small masks hanging on the bamboo frame on the side.
"These masks are yours too?"
"Yes, isn't this the Spring Festival coming?"
"Spring Festival?"
"Oh, the girl is not a local?"
Although the Qingzun Pavilion is in Qingcheng County, he has never been out a few times, and he doesn't know anything about these folk customs.
"yes, then you don't want a tael of silver for this mask, right?"
"The girl laughed, almost everyone has to buy this, how dare I sell it like this."
"Oh, you mean it's because the people here don't understand the market of Yinxiangmu, so you raise the price?"
"That's not what I said."
The peddler answered, but didn't know what to say. Gu Chao looked at those masks, some of them were blue-faced and fanged, some were delicate and timid, and some were mighty and majestic, and felt that it was really interesting to bring them.
"Do you have this mask like a painting of a prince and a nobleman?"
"Yes, yes, there is, the bottom row, the moon is white and black, and the one with gold borders is."
Gu Chao took off the mask, looked left and right, and the more he looked at it, the more it looked like it. Just buy one and give it to him, which can be regarded as repaying the love he gave him medicine yesterday.
"This is good, wrap it up, and bring me a mighty man's, a young lady's, and an old man's."
The hawker moved happily, and Gu Chao saw it and took the opportunity to inquire about the pond fish.
"You said she, she only comes out once every half a month, and sometimes the days are set by themselves, and whoever meets them is the one who has the right eye."
The peddler said as he gave her the wrapped mask.
Gu Chao took her things:
"So, have you ever invested money?"
The peddler scratched his head and looked embarrassed.
"I already have a wife at home, so I don't go to join in such a lively life, we have such a small business, and we don't have the capital to spend a lot of money."
"Hey, who said no, if you sell this hairpin, won't you be able to vote once?"
"The girl is really good at laughing."
Saying that, the vendor saw that she had also bought a lot of things, so he took a hairpin from the box and gave it to Gu Chao.
"Since you are knowledgeable and take care of my business so much, I will give you one."
Gu Chao quickly got over it, and he didn't forget to tease.
"How can you sell such an expensive thing, and you are willing to give it away for nothing?"
"I received this wood from an illiterate person in my hometown, and I didn't use a lot of money at all."
Gu Chao took these things, and saw that the time was almost up, so he hurried towards Guanxi.
