Chapter 112: The Second Entry into the Mansion City
Gu Feng looked at Su Jiu'er in confusion, his brows furrowed, and Xiao Bai in his hand took advantage of this good opportunity to run away.
"What's wrong?" Gu Feng felt that Su Jiu'er seemed to have something to hide from him, and he subconsciously didn't want to know what was hidden in Su Jiu'er's heart.
"Xianggong." Su Jiu'er looked back at Gu Feng, sat back on the spot with a smile, put the cup in hand again, looked at Gu Feng with a smile, and said softly, "I'm just a little puzzled, there shouldn't be a happy event today, after all, everyone is busy working in the field now, how can anyone marry?" ”
"That's right, could it be that something happened in the village?" The more Gu Feng thought about it, the more he felt that there was such a possibility, and his face became serious, it was really eventful, "Let's go over and take a look." ”
Su Jiu'er didn't want to go, but she wanted to know if An Zeqing would be the first place in the township test this time.
"There should be something urgent." Su Jiu'er said, putting all the needlework and thread into the sewing basket, "Xianggong, you wait for me, I'll put these things in the house, and let's go together." ”
"Oh."
After getting Gu Feng's response, Su Jiu'er walked towards the house with a needlework basket, put the embroidery in a small wooden box, and didn't forget to lock it.
Last time, she lost her embroidery, but she didn't find the person who stole her embroidery, so now Su Jiu'er didn't dare to put her embroidery casually.
The two of them locked the door and walked towards the ancestral hall.
When the two of them arrived at the ancestral hall, many people had already rushed to the ancestral hall, and Su Jiu'er saw those officials in red official uniforms talking to the village chief from a distance.
It should be here to give An Zeqing good news.
The Wang family is no longer in the village, and the matter of entertaining the official falls on the village chief.
This kind of good thing is willing to be entertained by everyone.
One is that they are happy, and the other is that they can help An Zeqing receive the official errand, and they are counting on a good impression in front of An Zeqing.
The village chief smiled and gave a few officials a little money for drinks, and politely sent the people away.
Zhao saw Gu Feng and Su Jiu'er coming, and walked towards the two of them with a smile on his face.
"Gu Feng, wine." Zhao walked up to the two of them with a smile on his face, "Just now, the official sent the adult to announce a good thing, saying that Zeqing's child was selected, or the first place!" ”
1st place!
There was no difference from the previous life, Su Jiu'er looked serious and frowned.
"Not bad." Gu Feng felt that this matter had nothing to do with him, but it was because the Zhao family was happy and echoed.
"If you pass this test, Zeqing will be a person in the future, I heard people say that as long as you are a person, you can become an official." Zhao said with a smile, "I didn't expect that our Zhaojia Village really had a master, this is a great joy!" ”
Su Jiu'er smiled bitterly, and then pulled Gu Feng away.
Gu Feng didn't have much reaction to An Zeqing's promotion, after all, other people's affairs had nothing to do with him.
But Gu Feng found that Su Jiu'er was a little uneasy.
When cooking at noon, Su Jiu'er forgot to light the fire, and she forgot to put salt when stir-frying.
When Gu Feng was eating, he saw that Su Jiu'er was still in a trance, and his brows were tightly wrinkled, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"Xianggong." Su Jiu'er looked at Gu Feng with some eagerness, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth when he met Gu Feng's eyes full of doubt.
Gu Feng put the chopsticks in his hand on the table, looked at Su Jiu'er's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and smiled a little helplessly, "Could it be that you regret marrying me?" ”
"Of course not!" Su Jiu'er hurriedly opened her mouth to deny, muttering her lips and lowering her eyes slightly.
If the Zhao family didn't say that An Zeqing could become an official if he raised people in the examination, Su Jiu'er might not have any reaction.
"I'm just a little worried." Su Jiu'er looked at Gu Feng anxiously, and said in a low voice, "Mother said, he can be an official now, you say, will he release the Wang family?" ”
Gu Feng sandwiched a piece of rabbit meat and put it in Su Jiu'er's bowl, and affirmed, "He won't." ”
"Will he retaliate against us?" Su Jiu'er felt that she should have been obscure from the beginning, and directly dealt a fatal blow to An Zeqing, "I'm afraid that he will bully us with his power." ”
"......" Gu Feng fed the rabbit meat directly into Su Jiu'er's mouth, and said with a serious face, "He's not that kind of person." ”
Su Jiu'er silently bit the rabbit meat, thinking that Gu Feng could be on her side, but she didn't want Gu Feng to believe in An Zeqing so much.
It was An Zeqing's matter to raise people in the An Zeqing examination, Zhaojia Village was lively for a while, and everyone hurriedly dispersed, after all, they had to hurry up and work on their crops, and eating was the most important thing in everyone's hearts in Zhaojia Village.
Early the next morning, Gu Feng and Su Jiu'er went to Su's house and asked Zhao to help her take care of Xiaobai and the chickens, ducks and geese at home.
Zhao took the key from Su Jiu'er's hand and looked at the two of them in wonder, "What are you going to do here?" ”
"Mother, let's go to Shacheng and sell what I embroidered." Su Jiu'er glanced at Gu Feng beside her, and then looked at Zhao with a smile, "Please help us watch the affairs at home." ”
"That's okay, you go early and come back early, don't entangle with others if you encounter anything on the way, hide if you can, pay attention to ......" Although it was not the first time that Gu Feng and Su Jiu'er had gone far away, Zhao still couldn't help but say a lot of words of concern.
When the two of them arrived in the town, Gu Feng proposed to buy a donkey cart, Su Jiu'er thought that if there was a donkey cart in the future, Gu Feng would not have to carry the prey into the town every day, so thinking about it, Su Jiu'er happily agreed.
Originally, Gu Feng was thinking about buying a carriage, but the imperial court had already incorporated all the horses, and the procedures for buying a horse were too cumbersome, and a horse cost a hundred taels of silver, which was not cost-effective at all.
Moreover, the horses they buy must have a mark, otherwise they will be regarded as criminals who steal war horses and will be sentenced to death.
A donkey cart costs seven taels of silver.
Su Jiu'er pondered in her heart that if she had bought a donkey cart earlier, she regretted that she hadn't bought a donkey cart earlier, and Gu Feng wouldn't have to be so tired.
Su Jiu'er was worried that Gu Feng would not be able to drive the donkey cart at first, so she sat on the donkey cart nervously, clutching the wooden plank under her.
The curtain of the donkey cart opened, and Gu Feng raised the whip in his hand and hit the donkey directly.
The donkey cart staggered out of town and walked slowly down the sheep intestine path.
Su Jiu'er got out of the donkey cart with a kettle and sat next to Gu Feng, still a little scared in her heart, and secretly grabbed the frame of the car on the side.
"Xianggong, drink some water," Su Jiu'er grinned, her bright eyes stared at Gu Feng without blinking, and handed the kettle in her hand to Gu Feng, "There seems to be nothing in this world that you won't do." ”
Gu Feng frowned, thought about it seriously, and said seriously, "I won't have children." ”
“......”
"Giving birth to a child can only be hard for you." Gu Feng's gaze involuntarily fell on Su Jiu'er's stomach, his eyes burning.
Su Jiu'er put the spout of the kettle in her hand to Gu Feng's lips and said coquettishly, "Xianggong, shouldn't you look at the road ahead!" ”
Absentmindedly feeding Gu Feng to drink water, Su Jiu'er was also a little anxious, she got pregnant not long after marrying An Zeqing in her last life, but this time it was so slow?
Su Jiu'er is no stranger to the road to Shacheng, the two of them talked and laughed all the way, and it took two days to get to Shacheng.
As soon as they entered the city, Gu Feng and Su Jiu'er went directly to Piaoxiang Building, handed over the donkey cart to the shopkeeper in Piaoxianglou to take care of, and then the two of them left for Lijiabuzhuang.
The shopkeeper Li was settling the accounts in the house, frowning, and recently there were more and more people who wanted to come to their store to buy double-sided embroidery.
But there is only one pair of double-sided embroidery, and he sold it for a thousand taels, and the shopkeeper Li now hopes that Su Jiu'er can bring a few more, so that even if they only do Su Jiu'er's single business, the profit of a pair of embroidery will soon catch up with the profit of his store for two years.
"Gu Gongzi, Gu Niangzi, come in quickly, my shopkeeper is thinking about the two of you during this time!" When the shopkeeper saw Gu Feng and Su Jiu'er coming in, he stepped forward with a smile and led Gu Feng and Su Jiu'er towards it with a smile.
The shopkeeper Li paused with his hand to pluck the abacus, followed the voice of the shopkeeper, and when he saw the two people who came in, he immediately frowned, walked out of the counter with a smile on his face, and invited Gu Feng and Su Jiu'er to the room inside.
The three of them sat at the round table, and the shopkeeper Li glanced at the shopkeeper on the side, and said in a low voice, "Why don't you hurry up and pour tea?" ”
The shopkeeper withdrew with a smile on his face.
There were only three of them left in the room, and the hands under the table of the shopkeeper Li rubbed together unconsciously, and asked with a smile on his face, "Gu Gongzi, Gu Niangzi, I don't know what kind of embroidery the two brought this time?" ”
Without waiting for Gu Feng to speak to Su Jiu'er, Shopkeeper Li took the lead in expressing his sincerity, "Don't worry, the price, it must be a high price!" ”
Su Jiu'er smiled, habitually glanced at Gu Feng beside him, and saw that he nodded, so he took out the embroidery in the bag. 、
Shopkeeper Li was like a jackal, his eyes were shining, staring closely at the embroidery that Su Jiu'er took out of his bag, and he didn't dare to breathe loudly.
"I'll see."
couldn't wait for Su Jiu'er to unfold it, and the shopkeeper Li took the first step to unfold the embroidery in Su Jiu'er's hand.
If the shopkeeper Li was very surprised and delighted when he saw Su Jiu'er's embroidery for the first time, the current shopkeeper Li was amazed and couldn't say a word happily.
The double-sided embroidery embroidered by the best fabric needlework is really different, and the shopkeeper Li felt that it was really worth it to ask Su Jiu'er to embroider these things for their cloth village at a high price.
Mr. Li looked at the two embroideries many times, but could not find any flaws, and could only be described by the word "perfect".
The shopkeeper brought water in, and stood quietly behind the shopkeeper Li, stretched his neck to take a look at the embroidery, and looked at Su Jiu'er and Gu Feng with amazement on his face.
"I don't know the shopkeeper, how much money are you going to pay this time?" Gu Feng spoke lightly, his rough fingers gently rubbing the teacup.
Gu Feng and Su Jiu'er assessed the price before coming to Buzhuang, and pondered that it would cost at least eight hundred taels of silver.
When it came to business, the shopkeeper Li put away the foolish smile on his face and cleared his throat, "This embroidery is very good, it's not the first time we've cooperated, and I'm not the kind of person who loves to bargain. ”
Su Jiu'er didn't speak, thinking more than they thought.
Gu Feng pondered for a while, and said calmly, "I'm afraid the price of this embroidery is more than doubled." ”
Seeing that Shopkeeper Li's expression had changed a little, Gu Feng pursed his lips slightly, and said with satisfaction, "Shopkeeper Li is so sincere for the first time, and my wife and I are naturally willing to continue to cooperate with you, this time I will follow what you said." ”
Shopkeeper Li smiled, the price of the embroidery next time will be said next time, this time he feels that he doesn't have to take care of this shop for five years, just relying on these two embroideries, he can make a lot of money.
Shopkeeper Li happily gave money to Gu Feng and Su Jiu'er, and turned out the fabrics specially for Su Jiu'er, all of which were given to Su Jiu'er.
After finishing all the work, Li Zhang's shopkeeper held the two embroideries alone and never got tired of looking at them, thinking about what wooden frame to use to frame.
Gu Feng carefully stuffed the silver ticket into his arms, and walked out of the back room holding Su Jiu'er's hand.
When passing by the lobby of Buzhuang, Gu Feng saw an official walking outside with a large pile of white cloth.
There were still a few people buying cloth in the lobby, and when they saw the official leave, they muttered, "Our Shacheng is not safe anymore, the Shao family was all killed overnight, and the official government has been looking for several days but has not found the murderer." ”
"It's not, in the future, it's better for us to go out less at night, and the province will die in the future!"
"Now this murderer is really too rampant!"
"Who said it wasn't, shhh, don't say it, the province is being remembered!"
......
When Su Jiu'er heard the word "extinguishing the door", her body involuntarily leaned to Gu Feng's side, pulling Gu Feng's sleeve tightly like a child.
