Chapter 34: Occasional Meeting
Gu Wan felt that these people were enough for the time being, and they could be added in the future when there were not enough people.
Gu Anran is determined to buy a few personal girls for his sister-in-law, now the daughter of a big family, which is not surrounded by big girls and little girls around him, with his love for his own sister-in-law, forget it when he has no money, now that he has plenty of money, how can he let Gu Wan be wronged!
It's just that I went around twice from Jixiangfang, and none of them were satisfied, Gu Anran was either a suspect of Mu Ne, or a suspect was too lively, worried that he would teach his sister badly, and that picky spirit made Gu Wan speechless.
Mrs. Liu also saw what Gu Anran meant, this is according to the criteria for selecting a personal girl for everyone's daughter, after thinking about it, she said: "Da Lang, our Xingyuan is located in a remote area, and there are not many girls trained by the house of etiquette, and these outside are probably not what you want, why don't you try your luck inside?" ”
Gu Wan was stunned, she had been a housekeeper for decades in her previous life, and naturally knew that the inside of what Mrs. Liu said was the place where the people in Jixiangfang were trained, and the people who came out there were different from the outside, most of them signed a death contract and sent them directly to the famous families for selection, one hundred of them, three or five qualified ones could be trained, even if it was good, I heard that the cheapest little girl had to be more than ten taels of silver, and those with unique skills, one hundred taels, one thousand taels, it was not unusual.
Moreover, in such a place, there is no way, there is not enough face, and they can't get in, and the people who have worked hard to train them will not be sent to the homes of ordinary people to cook on the fire, which is too wasteful.
As soon as Mrs. Liu saw Gu Wan's face, she knew what she was thinking, she was a little surprised, the number of roads in this is not the housewife of a big family who often deals with these people, and it is really not easy to know if she is in charge!
However, she was relieved when she thought about it, looking at the behavior of Gu Wan and Gu Anran, the two brothers and sisters, obviously had a good family background, although they looked young, they didn't look like they had managed the family, but the daughter of a big family had seen these with her mother when she was very young, and it was not strange, so she smiled and said: "Little lady, if it was before, we really had no way, but now it is different from the past, and the life of Jixiangfang is not easy. The restrictions have long been relaxed, and as long as you pay a deposit of fifty taels of silver, you can enter. ”
Gu Wan doesn't feel sorry for silver, and Gu Anran has never had a concept of money in her own sister-in-law.
So, the two of them were led by Mrs. Liu, paid a deposit of fifty taels smoothly, and entered a small building with a bit of momentum.
The light in the lobby is not bright, but the furnishings are still elegant, far different from the dirty outside, and there are few people, in fact, although Xingyuan is luxuriant, in the end it is a troubled time, and there are not many small people who are willing to spend fifty taels to come once, and those who really don't regard silver money as money don't need to come to this market in person......
On the high platform in front, a middle-aged man holding a huqin, playing the piano and playing music, the music is also ordinary, but the woman standing beside him and singing is not ordinary, this is a orchid, twenty-seven or eighteen years old, she is already old, but her facial features are deep and bright, and there is naturally a little tired charm between her eyebrows and eyes, as if she has gone through the world, full of fatigue, but there is still a desire, real beauty, regardless of age, always attractive, three or two men standing in front of the stands, all staring at her in a daze, But the selling price of as high as 3,000 taels made her unwanted......
Orchid Ji was not anxious, just stood on the stage, didn't even look at the stage, sang by herself, the song was melodious, about the minor tune of their country, outsiders couldn't understand it, they only felt moving.
There are two little girls about seven or eight years old, who are thin and have ordinary faces, with their heads down, kneeling on the stage, whispering for the orchid, these two girls also have straw marks on their heads, but they are thin and small, very inconspicuous, and few people pay attention.
Gu Wan doesn't care about the dancing girls on the high stage, this kind of dancing girls are mostly official prostitutes, and they are the kind of cheap ones who can never be eliminated, unlike ordinary servants, ordinary people can't buy them, and they can't afford them.
She just followed Mrs. Liu to look around at the little girl, the people here are really higher than the quality outside, tall, short, fat, thin, beautiful, blessed, most of the little girls are young girls, standing with low eyebrows, from the corners of the eyebrows, to the dress, like a mold out, they are all trained very well.
The two brothers and sisters of the Gu family were simply dazzled, Gu Wan even pondered the budget, wanting to see if she could pick a few young ones, go back and teach them well, and move in the future, which can just come in handy!
At this time, the door was suddenly blown open by the wind, and the spring day was already warm, but the wind was cold, and as soon as Gu Wan turned around, she saw a young man.
As soon as the young man entered the door, Gu Anran was just curious, but Gu Wan felt that the peaceful atmosphere in the entire small building was swept away, her five senses have always been keen, and she vaguely felt that this strange atmosphere came from a private room on the right, and between the ups and downs of her thoughts, she heard a sigh from afar - "Why did this evil star come to Xingyuan?" Yes, his woman is seriously ill, Xue Ze has entered the palace, and Wang Xianmin can still use medicine......"
Gu Wan's heart moved, she found that since she was reborn, her luck was really good, she could see good dramas everywhere she went, which was much more interesting than the boring life in her previous life.
It was still a clear sky just now, but it was raining at this moment, not big, just tidal, the young man's hair bun was a little wet, his body was slender, his robe seemed to be linen, it was badly worn, it was stained with mud, he had obviously walked a long way, he was very good-looking, his eyebrows and eyes were delicate, and his cheeks were slightly ruddy.
He stood at the door, the sunlight penetrated through the gap in the roof, shining on his face, and the people who saw it were stunned, such a beautiful character, with shaved shoulders, thin waist, narrow hips, slender legs, although thin, but thin and attractive, there was a secret praise in the small building......
Because the man was so good, it took a long time for people to notice that he had not come in alone, but that the young man was holding a sword more than two feet long in his left hand and a woman in his right hand.
The woman who can be ignored is obviously not beautiful, her hair is yellow and lusterless, her face is covered, her skin is pale and dry, and a few sporadic abscesses can be vaguely seen, and she is also very sick and weak, and it seems that she can't even stand on her feet, but the young man is very considerate and holds her hand, although it is not particularly intimate, but it is inevitably surprising.
At this moment, a voice with an alien flavor suddenly sounded - "You're here." ”
The orchid on the stage, as soon as he saw the arrival, stopped singing, ran down from the stage, dragged the long skirt, and walked until he walked in front of the young man, the woman next to him, before he stood still, and said with thick eyes, "Sister Luo, I haven't seen you for a few years, have you found the lover you want?" ”
The woman known as Sister Luo looked at the orchid for a long time, and suddenly pulled it hard, pulled off the emerald gemstone necklace worn by the orchid's neck, and then pulled off the dazzling golden hairpin on her hair, and said loudly: "I'm here, you dare not abide by the agreement?" ”
Somehow, after listening to the woman's words, Hu Ji's tears rolled down, and she laughed and said: "Of course I abide by it, I Zheng Min, the only good thing in my life is to keep my promise, it's just that I and you, my sisters, are nothing, but my two sisters, they are still young and can't bear the hardships, and you wait for me to entrust them with their lives." ”
Before she finished speaking, the black-clothed young man suddenly raised his head and said, "Your surname is Gu?" ”
Gu Anran and Gu Wan were both startled, because of this sentence, the young man looked at Gu Wan and said it.
