Chapter 106: Another Reborn
The road that was originally half an hour later, under the effect of Gu Tianyi's frightened heart, was compressed into fifteen minutes.
He had an idea, come early and send the little girl home early.
Save yourself the trouble.
The bike was ridden down a narrow lane.
The houses here are all mud houses made of yellow mud, and they are as simple as they are.
Gu Tianyi stopped at the door of one of the houses and pushed open a courtyard with a broken wooden plank as the door.
As soon as he entered the suddenly open courtyard, Xu Jiaren suddenly felt a feeling of two worlds outside the door.
In the courtyard, there are several large water tanks on one side, and bamboo poles on the other, on which a lot of flower cloth is dried.
"Guqin-" Gu Tianyi shouted again when he entered the door.
There was still no movement in the room, but a black cat popped out of the door.
"Qin'erβyour brother brought a child." The cat spoke.
Xu Jiaren's eyes widened and froze in place.
What's the situation? The cat is talking?!
He is......
"Brotherβ" A crisp voice came from inside the room.
The curtain of the door of the house was opened, and a little girl about seven or eight years old wearing a May Fourth skirt of the Republic of China walked out.
Two twisted braids hang down from the shoulders, and there are also retro bangs on the forehead.
The little girl looks like a child who came out of a painting of the Republic of China.
Seeing a young child standing in the yard, a trace of doubt and surprise flashed in the little girl's eyes, and asked, "Brother, is this ......?"
"She's the kid I said I bought the Ping An buckle last time."
Gu Tianyi seemed to have told his sister about this, and said: "This is my sister Guqin, this is Xu ...... Something. β
"My name is Xu Jiaren." Xu Jiaren looked at the little girl at the door and said.
"Yes, yes, Xu Jiaren."
Gu Tianyi said politely: "Let's go, enter the house and say, there is a stove in the house." β
"yes, okay." Xu Jiaren answered.
Gu Tianyi entered the room first, carefully put the cotton bag of the stall into the cabinet and locked it.
It's not safe at night here, and occasionally a brave thief will climb over the wall and enter the house.
The people around him also knew that he was tinkering with antique objects, and it was inevitable that he would attract a few thieves to try his luck.
The first thing Gu Tianyi did when he returned home was to receive the things in the cabinet and lock them.
"Little girl, do you want to drink jujube tea?" Gu Tianyi asked politely.
It was cold, Xu Jiaren came by bicycle, and it was almost frozen, so he was not polite: "Then give me a drink." β
"This tea has to be drunk in a tea bowl to taste."
Gu Tianyi took out two blue and white porcelain bowls from the cabinet, poured the red date tea that had been boiling for a long time and put it on the table, and introduced: "This tea bowl came out of the palace, and it is very valuable." β
Isn't that what someone else has drunk?!
And to be precise, the dead have drunk!
Hearing this, Xu Jiaren's outstretched hand suddenly became a little dilemma.
Guqin on the side looked at the little girl's demeanor and expression, and couldn't help laughing: "Little sister, don't listen to my brother's nonsense." This tea bowl is a new one we bought. It's not from the palace. β
"Uh-"
"Guqin! Can't you cooperate with my brother? Heyβ"
Gu Tianyi usually likes to blow a few words like this when he eats at home with friends, and it is natural for him to get used to it.
Usually the guqin will cooperate, but today it was dismantled.
It's so shameless.
Guqin pursed her lips and chuckled, and asked, "Brother, is there something wrong with you bringing this little sister here?" β
"Well, something's wrong!" Gu Tianyi thought about sending Xu Jiaren home as soon as possible, and she didn't dare to delay the time, so she said directly: "She wants to find someone to embroider the dragon and phoenix pattern on her clothes, and she also needs to make some buckles...... I thought you would, so I brought it over. β
Hearing what his brother said, Guqin nodded to indicate that he understood.
"Little sister, then you will go to the back room with me to have a look? I've done a lot of embroidery before. Guqin asked in a soothing and gentle tone.
Xu Jiaren looked at the little girl in front of her, and with the clothes on her body, she always felt that she didn't look like Gu Tianyi's sister at all, nor did she look like a person of this era.
And, at the moment, she is still at her feet with the talking cat!
Xu Jiaren suddenly had a bold guess.
"Then you go in, I'll listen to the radio for a while." Gu Tianyi didn't follow in.
The back room was so dark that you could barely see your fingers.
Guqin walked in front and turned on the light first.
As soon as the lights were turned on, Xu Jiaren saw the room clearly, and couldn't help but make a sound of "wow-".
A desk made of carved wood, with rice paper spread out on it, on which is an unfinished peony drawing.
There is a loom next to it, and a table dedicated to embroidery.
Finally, a guzheng was placed in the corner......
This is a house for antique lovers, right?
And it's the kind of professional enthusiast.
"This little girl has seen the world, so she wowed." The black cat who followed Guqin commented.
Guqin smiled softly and opened a box in the corner.
"Sister Beauty, can you use these things?" Guqin pointed to the box and said.
Xu Jiaren took her eyes off the black cat.
When she walked to the box, she saw that the box was full of all kinds of embroidered patterns, and there were many patterns.
There are dragons and phoenixes, peonies blooming, and cranes traveling......
"If I make the clothes and bring them to you to embroider the painting, how long will it take for you to embroider the dragon and phoenix?" Xu Jiaren touched the exquisite embroidery in the box and asked.
"Clothes? What are you going to do? Guqin asked curiously.
"I want to make a wedding dress for Xiuhe, or a dragon and phoenix gown...... It's not decided yet. β
The clothes on Guqin's body are so retro, I believe she should know these two kinds of wedding dresses.
Sure enough, when he heard what Xu Jiaren said, Guqin smiled and said with a little emotion: "I didn't expect that there would be people here who would use Xiuhe or dragon and phoenix coats...... I thought no one knew. β
The black cat next to him looked at Xu Jiaren, and the cat's pupils showed vigilance: "The aura on this kid's body is weird." I always feel like I'm also a reborn. β
As he spoke, the black cat suddenly jumped in front of Xu Jiaren's eyes and waved his cat's paws.
Xu Jiaren was startled, but she was used to Ah Yi dangling in front of her, so the black cat suddenly jumped up, and she could be calm as usual.
"So, can you do it?" Xu Jiaren spoke.
If she didn't speak, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold on for long and let the black cat test it.
"I can. It probably takes about five days. Guqin replied with a smile.
"Then I'll send it to you next Monday!" Xu Jiaren put down the embroidery pattern in his hand and continued: "The buckle will also trouble you." β
"No hassle. Anyway, I'm idle every day. β
After Xu Jiaren said this, she immediately turned around and pretended to admire the decoration of the house, she was afraid that if she looked at the black cat for a while, she would go straight to the gang.
The black cat observed for a moment and then fell back to the ground, and said suspiciously, "It's strange, she doesn't seem to see me." The aura on his body is like a reborn, but it doesn't seem to be ......"
