Chapter 16: Parting

Gu Wan looked at the mountains of fruits piled up outside the kitchen, crying and laughing!

Early this morning, Shui Bo's convoy left the village and made a special detour, and Yuping took the other three maids to drive all the fruits they had stored, saying that Gu Wan would accept everything.

At that time, Shui Bo was sitting in the car, looking at the eyes through the window screen, Gu Wan always felt a little pitiful, he watched the baskets and baskets moved down from the car, the fruits he loved to eat as snacks, and the expression on his face was like a distressed heart!

Yuping, such a considerate maid, did not understand the pain of her master's flesh at all, and happily ordered the guards to help Gu Wan move everything into the door and empty half of the car, then she stopped and said with a smile: "Mu Gongzi left earlier than us, and he rushed all night last night, this is what he explained before leaving, saying that he wanted to thank Wan Niang for the fruit wine you gave him." You're welcome, keep it, this thing is not rare for us, and it can be replenished when it arrives in Yunzhou, but in this winter, if you want to eat a fruit, then I'm afraid it will not be easy. ”

It's actually very easy, and the quality is high, definitely fresher and tastier than these jelly!

Gu Wan laughed secretly in her heart, speaking of which, Shui Bo, the little marquis, is too unreliable, and the people in the family actually listened to the words of the Mu family's son, but it can be seen that the relationship between the two is really close.

Originally, Gu Wan still had a little intention of shirking, but when she saw Shui Bo's big watery eyes, she suddenly had a bit of a bad taste, and she didn't plan to shirk it, and when all the fruits were moved into the yard, the noble son put down the car curtain in disappointment, and Gu Wan stuffed a few jars of salted goose eggs, salted eggs, a large jar of fruit wine, and a jar of sauce to Yuping.

This kind of country snack, Yuping has eaten it, and when she eats it, her tongue is fragrant, and when she sees Gu Wan's return gift, she is naturally very happy, and even the pain of Shuibo's flesh is a little less, and she doesn't dislike this gift at all.

At this time, Mu Yanzhao, who was trekking through mountains and rivers and working hard, didn't know his intentions, and he actually cheapened Shuibo, in order to give Gu Wan fruit, he didn't promise Shui Bo, and the price he gave was by no means comparable to that little bit of food......

However, even if he knew, it was estimated that he would not be angry, Mu Yanzhao has always rarely been angry about his own affairs, he will only be happy for a small little pleasing to the eye!

When the two distinguished guests came, it was quite earth-shattering, but when they left, they were silent...... Only three hundred taels of silver were left for Guo Yuzhu and Guo Jiatun in the guest room.

This silver is not too much or less, even if it leaks out, it will not attract excessive greed from the bandits, and it is enough for the entire Guojiatun to spend a winter. Guo Yugui was a little grateful for the benefits of the water waves, and secretly said in private, the dignitaries of the Feng Dynasty are not all greedy, domineering, and oppressing good people!

The comings and goings of distinguished guests just make this remote small village a little more talkative, and life will continue to live, and it will not change much because of an unexpected character.

—————————————— Split ——————————————

The heavy snow in Shanglang has closed the mountain for a long time, and the winter weather is cold and unbearable, and the charcoal fire of every household is not enough.

Wang Mei took Rong Niu to Gu's house to be a female celebrity with Gu Wan.

Gu Anran has always stayed in the house alone to read since he moved half of the books in the basement to the study, Gu Wan only pestered him when he wanted him to rest, usually either in the kitchen to deal with the ingredients, or sewing clothes and quilts, Gu Anran sometimes worries that his sister is too lonely, but as soon as he gets the books, he is in a trance, even if he wants to accompany his sister all day, he is also powerless, and now that Sister-in-law Wang and Rong Niu are here, he can read in peace.

The window in the bedroom has a small slit, and the charcoal basin in the corner of the wall is extremely hot, and the charcoal is the best silver frost charcoal, no smoke, and no peculiar smell

。 Gu Wan was really worried about carbon monoxide poisoning, but in the end, it took so long in her previous life, and nothing happened, besides, if she wanted to make a stove with a chimney, a fireplace or something, she had to wait until she went to Yazhou in the future, and they stayed in Shanglang for a short time, so there was no need for large-scale transformation, and there were few iron tools needed to make furnaces.

With a little attention, these charcoal fires are not much dangerous!

Wang Mei was familiar with the Gu family, so she didn't think she was a guest, hugged her daughter, and sat on the kang to watch Gu Wan's girl embroider her purse. Xiao Rongniu reached out to the sewing basket on the kang table vigorously, which made Wang Mei laugh.

"Wan Niang, your needlework is really good, I can't read and write, and I can't say anything, but what you do is completely different from the craftsmanship of our ordinary countrymen."

Gu Wan smiled, picked up the purse and stuffed it to Rong Niu: "How can it be as sister-in-law Wang said, it's just fresh." ”

"That's what I want." Wang Mei looked at the needle and thread in Rong Niu's hand, and couldn't help but secretly admire, this is a gourd-shaped purse, with blue silk satin as the base, embroidered with a cluster of plums, a piece of broken snow, very windy, with poems, although she can't understand it, but the word, even if she is illiterate, she has to say that it looks good.

"Wan Niang, what kind of stitch are you using, there are dozens of these, I have been looking at it for a long time, and I can't see any stitch traces?" Wang Mei was amazed, and felt that Gu Wan was worthy of being everyone's daughter, and the needlework she made was completely different from the so-called well-known embroidery girls she saw in Shanglang's embroidery villages......

If she could say it, she would definitely feel that what the embroidery girl made was a purse, full of ingenuity, and Gu Wan's made, although it was still immature, was already a work of art.

Gu Wanwan smiled: "If Sister-in-law Wang likes it, I will teach Sister-in-law Wang to embroider." ”

"Oh, I'm clumsy, how can I make such a delicate thing, you, just give me a few more embroidery samples, let me follow the embroidery, if I use dozens of stitches on a purse, it will kill me."

Hearing Wang Mei say this, Gu Wan also agreed, and turned out a lot of remaining embroidery samples and gave them to her, which made Wang Mei very happy.

In fact, think about it, Wang Mei wants to embroider Gu Wan's purse, I'm afraid it's really not easy, she was reading books for 20 years, practicing calligraphy and painting for 20 years, the words are written a little successfully, and the painting is also in the room, in order to embroider such an elegant and exquisite artwork, although now because of her young age, her strength is thin, calligraphy and painting, she can't use a pen freely, and she can't compare with that year, and the embroidery kung fu is only about two or three percent of the previous life, but this realm has not been reduced......

The next few days, much better, because there are a lot of grain and grass reserves in winter, there is no one who freezes to death in the whole Guojiatun, and there is no starvation to death, winter goes to spring, and when it comes to the beginning of spring, everything recovers, and there is actually a little more luxuriant scene than in previous years.

Because of the good seeds, the heavy snow in winter froze all the pests to death, Guo Yuzhu pondered, this new year's harvest will probably not be very bad, and the faces of the whole village will unconsciously have a little smile.

It's just that there will still be people fleeing natural and man-made disasters passing by from time to time, and the numbness they bring will still make people shudder, and seeing this, even the joy that heralds a good harvest seems to have weakened.

Gu Wan occasionally reminded Guo Yuzhu and Wang Mei in a roundabout way, telling them that the future situation is dangerous and make plans early, Guo Yuzhu's vision is broad, although Gu Wan's age is young, but he will not take Gu Wan's words to heart, not to mention, Guojiatun is too close to the border, as long as there is a battle, the sound of fighting can be heard at night, and there are even more bandits, although Guojiatun is now protected by a garrison, but just one Xiao Chaoyi can't suppress the bandits at all, besides, they can't stay in Shanglang all the time......

After thinking about it, Guo Yuzhu began to think about retreating, but it was difficult to leave his homeland, and it was not easy to relocate according to the village.

Whether it's apprehension or joy, the days still go by like this.

The filial piety life of the two brothers and sisters of the Gu family is generally calm and waveless, in the past three years, there has been no major disaster in Guojiatun, Gu Anran is not aware of things outside the window, and only reads sage books, the growth speed of learning, not to mention a thousand miles a day, but these three years of sharpening, but his basic skills are much more solid than usual. Occasionally, he corresponded with Dayong's classmates and friends, as well as with his teacher, and his teacher was also very satisfied with his academic advancement.

And Gu Wan, just happy to be a little sister who is protected by her brother, her normal daily homework will not be left behind, she does a lot of needlework, and most of the ink treasures left by practicing calligraphy have allowed her to exchange for points, as she gets older, the skills in her previous life have gradually become proficient, and more and more points have been exchanged for it......

By the end of her filial piety, her points had already gained quite a lot.
