Chapter 37: Gossip

After eating and drinking, Gu Wan took Zhao to the side hall to speak.

It was not good to drink tea after the meal, Baosheng gave a pot of freshly squeezed carrot juice, Gu Wan tasted it, and felt that the taste was okay, not too sweet, so she asked Baosheng to also send a pot to his eldest brother and Wang Ce to drink.

"Add two oranges, let the eldest brother drink less wine, how can they get drunk in the morning."

Zhao also nodded and smiled: "It's still a little lady who is careful, we are in charge, it's a good cup, if you don't drink two pots a day, you don't feel comfortable." ”

The two of them laughed a few words, and the Zhao family made it clear to Gu Wan about the thirty hectares of land, this wasteland, the government was also in a hurry to get rid of it, eight hundred taels of silver, not much at all, as long as the money was ready, they could send someone to measure the land and sign the contract in these two days.

Gu Wan breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and her heart settled down. The land is in her hands, and then the water is diverted for irrigation, and the ground is turned over and fertilized, which is not difficult for her.

Buying land and buying a house is a big deal, or a man has to go out, at this time, Wang Ce and Gu Anran discussed, presumably this is also the case, being able to inform Gu Wan already shows that Gu Wan's status in this family is very high.

Then there was nothing serious, Gu Wan and the Zhao family started embroidering together.

Zhao sat on the chair, threaded the needle, looked up, and looked at Gu Wan sitting on the kang prettyly, dressed very simply, only wearing red agate earrings, the bracelet on the wrist was also red agate, and the pink beads pressed the sideburns, making it more and more obvious that she was pink and jade, and her skin was crystal clear.

Gu Wan made a purse and put it aside, Zhao looked at it, his eyes lit up, and he smiled: "It's really exquisite, Qingjiang is a song hugging the village, Changxia Jiangcun is quiet, good sentences, good embroiderers, and characters like the little lady have such ingenious thoughts, embroider beautiful scenery that can be painted, and embroider such good words!" ”

Zhao looked at Gu Wan, more and more happy, after marrying Wang Ce, life is happy, and I also like honest people like Wang Ce, I think her father's vision is very good, only a little, except for Chen Hui in this village, who can still say a few words to her, no one else has read any books, and they can't talk if they want to, in the end, they are a little lonely, and now that they meet the little lady of the Gu family, they finally have someone who can say a few intimate words.

Gu Wan also likes Wang Ce's honesty, and is naturally affectionate to the Zhao family, the two families were originally fellow villagers, but now they have left their hometowns and come to Yazhou, and they take care of each other, at this time, listening to Zhao's praise, they can't help but smile and say: "It's not difficult, if my aunt likes it, I still have a lot of embroidery here, and my aunt chooses what she likes to embroider." ”

As she spoke, Gu Wan took a stack of embroidery patterns from the cabinet next to her and let Zhao see it.

It is indeed not difficult, it should be said that it is not difficult for those who will know, this embroidery method is Gu Wan to modern times, only learned, in the Ming and Qing dynasties of that time and space, this belongs to Gu embroidery, only proficient in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, can be embroidered, the general embroidery girl, there is no more than ten years of scholarly dyeing, even if it is imitated, it can only be like, can not be like God.

The world-famous wisdom pattern was born from Gu embroidery.

Seeing so many dazzling and beautiful pictures, Zhao was overjoyed, and couldn't help but take a picture of the goddess scattering flowers, according to the embroidery, she is also ingenious, embroidery work is done since childhood, there is Gu Wan on the side to point out the color matching needle, to also embroider the same, although it is difficult to get rid of the craftsmanship for a while, it is always more exquisite than the previous embroidery work.

One big and one small, two women are popular together, which is quite suitable, and it is much more pleasant than doing work alone.

Zhao embroidered a few stitches, and when he saw the little girl Baosheng coming over to add juice to them, he suddenly remembered something and said in a low voice: "Little lady, I heard Mrs. Liu say that the person you met when you and Da Lang went to Xingyuan was a strong man, and our son of Yazhou's assassin Shi was the ...... he killed."

Speaking of this, the Zhao family shuddered, after all, they were ordinary people, and when they heard that someone was killed, or that they couldn't even reach the back of the powerful son who was killed, they couldn't help but feel uneasy: "Our mouth, as soon as I heard what Mrs. Liu said, my heart was restless, and I couldn't sleep well for several days. ”

Seeing that Gu Wan was thoughtful, Zhao hurriedly advised: "Forget it this time, next time, when you meet that kind of strongman, the little lady must avoid it...... When the black-clothed young man was killing, Mrs. Liu, a fellow countryman, was in the river to support the guests and happened to see it. At that time, Liu Gongzi, who was the assassin of the historian, was playing on the shore, and saw a beautiful mulberry picking girl in Stone Village, so he stepped forward to entangle, he took the guards and the family members, surrounded the mulberry picking girl's soft voice, and even wanted to strip the clothes of other girls. ”

"Hey, there were a lot of people traveling in the suburbs at that time, and there were a few scholars, but none of them dared to stretch out their hands, and there were those who were not used to it, at most they hid their faces and left...... Just when the mulberry picker was about to suffer, the black-clothed young man came, and Mrs. Liu said that her fellow countryman, at first, did not see the shadow of the young man, only saw the gravel breaking through the air, and then there was a cold light, from east to west, flashing, and then there was a miserable howl......

"In the blink of an eye, more than 20 soldiers and guards stood frozen on the spot, Liu Gongzi fell on his back, and the mulberry girl staggered away, and the young man who caused all this was carelessly pacing to the river, taking water and washing his face, and then drifted away, a group of soldiers, standing for half a cup of tea, only gradually moved, crying and shouting, shouting and shouting, but others could no longer find the back of the young man."

Zhao shook his head with a sigh: "I pondered, the boatman who saw this scene was probably frightened and confused, how could anyone really kill people from the protection of more than 20 soldiers, and he escaped without any injuries, but Liu Gongzi's death must be the truth, and he must be a strong man." ”

Gu Wan lowered her eyes, thoughtfully, this black-clothed young man must be Qi Changguan, in her impression, plugged 'Feibai', Qi Changguan, is a world-famous killer, originally hidden in the shadows, until the twelfth year of Sedum, he broke into the birthday banquet of the Dragon King with a sword, and pocketed the ears of the Eight King Kongs under the Dragon Throne, and he was seriously injured, so he fled away, and since then he has become famous in a battle, because his words are flying white, and the rivers and lakes also have the nickname of plugging 'Feibai'.

"Weird...... What did he do when he killed Shi Gongzi, could it be that there are still people who dare to buy the lives of the Yazhou Assassin Shi family? ”

Gu Wan has read a lot of martial arts novels in the 21st century, in which those killer rangers or something, killing a corrupt official is as easy as cutting a melon, but in fact, in the Feng Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, even in the most chaotic time, the people of the rivers and lakes are easy not to deal with the government, and the first lesson of the people in the rivers and lakes is to learn to hide weapons, carry swords on their backs, and walk around, that must be bandits......

Zhao Shi heard Gu Wan's question, and said with a smile: "Little lady, where can we control the ideas of these strongmen, come, don't think about these troubles, anyway, it has nothing to do with us, let's embroider two stitches for me, isn't the color here heavier?" ”

Gu Wan hooked her lips, she didn't want to be so irrelevant anymore, so she leaned over and explained the color matching to Zhao.
