Chapter 19: Fate

On the second day, there were still a lot of people coming to the temple fair, but the difference from yesterday was that there was no need for Gu Nansang to shout, and many people followed the taste to find it.

After all, this oden is the only one, and there is no semicolon.

Gu Nansang also found a piece of paper overnight last night, took a thin bamboo pole and strung it together, fixed it with a bamboo piece, and pasted it.

She asked Gu Beihuai to write five words, Gu's oden.

Zhou Qingxiao looked interesting, and while he was not busy, he asked Gu Nansang: "Why do you want to call oden?" ”

"Because it's written in a book called Kanto." Gu Nansang's packing movements were fast, and he casually perfunctory.

Zhou Qingxiao knew that he was bored, and touched his nose: "My cousin is well-read and admires." ”

Today's stall closed earlier than yesterday, and in less than an hour, the oden was sold out.

A lot of people are not having enough fun and complaining.

Gu Nansang greeted him with a smile and asked them to ask for morning tomorrow. Some people say, "After tomorrow, where will you go to eat?"

Most of the people who come to the temple fair in Banyue Mountain are locals in the vicinity, and you must know that the only big city in the vicinity is Anping City, and almost no one knows about it.

Therefore, when Gu Nansang said that they were setting up a stall in Anping City, many people didn't say anything even though they felt a little disappointed. After all, if you can come to buy these foods, your family will not be poor, and some people even live in Anping City, and then go to the city to buy them.

When all the guests dispersed, the Gu family was busy collecting the stalls, Gu Dongqing and Zhou Qingxiao were both men, and they did the chores single-handedly, Gu Nansang couldn't intervene, so they rested under the big tree.

Busy for days, this nine-year-old little body is a little unbearable.

She sat against a large rock, resting, and looking at the world with half-squinted eyes, which was also interesting for a while.

Suddenly, I heard a commotion, gongs, cheers from the crowd, and the sound of crackling firecrackers.

Gu Nansang looked at it and saw a sedan chair made of white yarn coming out of the Half Moon Nunnery, and the people who carried the sedan chair were all middle-aged nuns, who looked quite strong, and they were all wearing uniform gray robes.

Sitting on the sedan chair was a little girl, dressed in a white gauze robe, with her hair coiled up, combed in a dignified hairstyle, and covered with a layer of transparent tulle. There was a bright red on her eyebrows, like a mole, and like a dotted dye, bright red. She held a long-necked white bottle in her right hand, a willow branch in her left hand, and waved the willow branch in her hand from time to time.

It is believed that at the beginning of May every year, when Kannon is the birthday, the temple will look for girls of the right age in the surrounding villages and towns to parade as Kannon and bring blessings to the people.

The crowd let out bursts of cheers, and Gu Nansang looked amused, with a little smile in his eyes.

"Doesn't my cousin believe in Buddhism?" But suddenly I heard a sound that disturbed the scenery.

Gu Nansang retracted his gaze and glanced at him: "You don't believe in Buddhism either, but this doesn't prevent you from loving to watch the lively nature." ”

"......" Zhou Qingxiao felt that he was a little self-inflicted, obviously he was choked by her every time, but he couldn't help but tease him.

"May I ask this girl, but her surname is Gu?"

But suddenly I heard a female voice.

Gu Nansang turned around and saw a woman who was dressed very well.

"I am, I don't know who you are?"

The woman waved her hand and said with a smile: "I can't afford to be you, it's my young lady, let me invite you over." My young lady's surname is Meng, and she said that the girl had been kind to her. ”

Gu Nansang remembered that she was a twin sister she met in the northern suburbs of Anping City.

"It's just a gesture, please don't take it to heart." Gu Nansang shook his head: "I still have something to do at home, so I won't go, and Aunt Lao will reply for me." ”

The woman seemed to expect her to say this, and said with a smile: "The girl is too careful, my young lady is because she ate your oden yesterday and likes it very much, but today the next person couldn't line up to buy it, so she called me over and asked if I could make a reservation." ”

She looked at Gu Nansang's face, and said, "Although we are a little unruly, but the price is easy to say, you see ......."

Gu Nansang understood what she meant, but didn't answer, just smiled: "This is also fate, then I'll go with you." ”

She turned around and said to Gu Dongqing, Gu Dongqing saw that there was no danger, and it was nearby, so she also agreed, but asked her to come back early.

Gu Nansang followed the woman to a pavilion for people to rest.

It is shaded here, and there is a quiet wind at noon, and there is a pine forest in the distance, which is only a wall away from the temple fair, but it is a lot quieter.

There are two maids in the pavilion waiting, one serving tea and the other holding snacks, talking to the Meng family sisters, and the atmosphere is very harmonious.

The two sisters are dressed exactly the same, wearing a pleated Ruyi moon white dress, wearing a goose yellow silk smock, combing a double-ring bun, and wearing a pair of eight-treasure beaded swallow hairpins.

Gu Nansang had only seen them once, and could barely tell that she was her sister by the tear mole in the corner of Meng Wanyue's eyes.

"Hello Miss Gu." When the two sisters saw her coming, they got up in unison and bent their knees.

Gu Nansang smiled slightly, and also bent his knees and returned the salute, clasping his hands on his left waist.

This is called Wanfuli, the sisters of the Meng family salute, and she is returning the salute.

Gu Nansang didn't know either, but fortunately, the Xu family was a beautiful girl in the past, and he taught the original owner these things early.

"Miss Meng, hello."

"How restrained we are when we talk like this!" Meng Wanyue blinked, suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Gu Nansang's wrist, and smiled with crooked eyebrows: "My name is Wanyue, just call me by my name!" ”

Gu Nansang was slightly stunned, a little surprised by her character, but still smiled: "My name is Nansang." ”

"Nansang, come and sit down!" As she spoke, she pulled Gu Nansang to sit down, and instructed the maid to pour tea for her, and pushed the dim sum over by herself.

Meng Wanqing looked at her sister, her face was a little helpless, and she smiled apologetically at Gu Nansang: "Miss Gu, my sister has a loose temperament and has not been restrained since she was a child. I was frightened that day, I didn't talk to you, I have been regretting it for the past few days, and today is a little abrupt, and I ask you to bear with me. ”

Her temperament is much calmer, and her gestures are very appropriate, which is very different from Meng Wanyue.

Gu Nansang shook his head: "It's okay, I'm from a farming family, if it's too regular, I won't feel comfortable." If you don't dislike me, call me by my name. ”

Meng Wanqing's eyebrows stretched, and she also stretched out her hand to hold Gu Nansang, and said with a smile: "How can you dislike it?" Nansang, don't say that you saved our lives, even ordinary people, they are no different from us, even though we have different net worth, but we are born as human beings. ”

It is not easy for a woman with such specifications to have such remarks, Gu Nansang couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, originally she just wanted to deal with one or two and leave, but now she has a little more idea of making friends.

"Miss Meng is open-minded and admirable." Gu Nansang clenched his hands into fists.

She had watched too many TV series before, and she didn't know that this was a man's etiquette, so she made it rashly, which made the Meng sisters stunned, and then laughed out loud.

In this way, the atmosphere is much more lively.

It turned out that they were the famous Meng family in Anping City, and the first time Gu Nansang went to West Street to sell cherries, he sold them to the Meng family's purchasing mother-in-law and gave them to these two young ladies to eat.

And now, they love to eat the oden made by Gu Nansang, which is really fate.

Gu Nansang told the ins and outs, and the two sisters were also surprised.

When it came time to separate, the three of them all called each other by their first names.

"It's inconvenient for you to go out, and you only met robbers a few days ago, so it's better to go back early." Gu Nansang stood up and looked at the sky, and reminded.

Meng Wanqing nodded: "Nansang, since you want to open a store in Anping City, we will be able to see each other often." ”

Meng Wanyue smiled heartlessly: "Yes, if your house opens, you must inform me, and I will definitely give you a cheer!" ”

Gu Nansang smiled: "You are Miss Boudoir, how can you go out and show your face at will?" Won't your big brother talk about you? You're so hungry, I'll just send it to you. ”

Meng Wanyue's careful thinking was punctured, a little impressive, but she really liked Gu Nansang, so she asked the personal maid to pack a lot of refreshments, and took a delicate food box with flowers to put it on, and asked her mother-in-law who had asked Gu Nansang to send her back.

Gu Nansang couldn't cry or laugh, thanked her, and walked back with the food box by herself.

When she went back, Gu Dongqing and Mu Yao had already put away their stalls and enjoyed the shade under the tree, waiting for her to go back.

Gu Nansang took out the refreshments for them to eat, while talking about his experience.

Gu Dongqing was also a little surprised, he smiled: "I see that you have changed a lot now, even if you were sensible in the past, you would also find Juanzi and pick up your brother to play, this time I fell into the eyes of money, and I worked harder than me." That's fine, have a friend. ”

It was rare for him to laugh, and Gu Nansang also interrupted a few words: "When the store opens, I will be the shopkeeper to play, and I will have to rely on you to work hard in the future." ”

The brother and sister laughed, looking like they were not estranged, and Mu Yao was a little envious.

He was alone, without a father, without a mother, and without sisters.

was feeling sad, Gu Nansang suddenly said: "If this matter can be done, then Brother Mu Yao will also come, our store can also sell roast chicken and rabbit on behalf of you, and you can also have more time to do your own business." ”

Mu Yao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't bother you, let's see it then, I can't say that everyone is tired of eating this thing." ”

Gu Nansang has his own plans, and he has no eyebrows to open a store at the moment, so these things are not in a hurry.

She turned around and asked, "What about my cousin?" Why don't you see him? ”

Gu Dongqing said: "He said he wanted to go shopping, he went as soon as you left, and we made an appointment to wait at the foot of the mountain after half an hour." ”

Gu Nansang nodded, and was about to go down the mountain with them, but suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

The blue-gray short clothes, the hairband of the same color, and the slender figure, who is Zhou Qingxiao?

She was about to call out to him, but she saw that there was another person in front of him.

It was actually the widow Feng Jiao.

What is she doing here?

Looking at Zhou Qingxiao's appearance, it actually seems that he is chasing her?

Gu Nansang narrowed his eyes and said quietly: "Brother, I suddenly remembered that I want to bring something to my mother, you go first, and I will go back." ”
