Chapter Eighty-Three: A Chance Encounter

The wind swept the snowflakes into the gate of Shun Ho Tang, and got into the neck of the young man who was bending over to wipe the counter, and the young man shook his neck and shrunk his neck.

"This grandma's god," the young man scolded, and was about to close the door after a few steps.

At this time, it was still early, but compared to the bustle of other stores, their Shunhetang was much more deserted.

"If you have no business or not, it's better to close down early and go for a busy year.." The guy muttered and complained.

The shopkeeper who was sitting in the hall and napping around the brazier heard it, closed his eyes and snorted: "Business has to have a business, everyone closes after twenty-three, how can we do it early?" ”

The young man snorted and covered the door with one hand to speak, when a figure flashed outside.

"Young master, you see, there is another medicine store here, why don't you ask." Someone shouted.

"It's good to take a look." A slightly hoarse young male voice replied.

With this voice, four or five people stood in the doorway.

This is a business that has come to the door, and the shopkeeper inside immediately got up from the brazier, shook his clothes, and took it with a habitual smile.

Four big men in Tsing Yi walked in with a young man in their arms.

The crab shell green robe, the gold silk jade belt, and the young man wearing a big red feather veil cloak are luxurious and handsome.

His gaze swept slightly into the room.

"Childe, do you need some?" The shopkeeper asked with a smile.

"Do you have any good mountain goods here?"

The young man didn't speak, and a big man beside him asked with a grin.

Mountain goods are rhizomes and medicinal materials, mostly nourishing and good products, and are the necessary things for gifts during the New Year's holidays.

"Yes, yes." The shopkeeper smiled, and while leading them to the back of the counter, the young man ran over early and took out a box of wrapped mountain goods, "Young master, please look, here is a good mountain ginseng Ganoderma lucidum shou Wu....This is a deer antler blood tablet...."

"This is mountain ginseng?" The young man spoke, pointing to one of the boxes and asking, "Open it and take a look." ”

The shopkeeper immediately opened it, took out the mountain ginseng tied with a red rope, and handed it to the young man.

The young man took it in his hand and looked at it, and the big men behind him also moved forward curiously, and the young man saw it out of the corner of his eye, and looked at them quietly, and the big men immediately stood up again, looking at the roof with their hands as if they were used to seeing big scenes.

"I didn't expect you to have this good product here." The young man said, putting the ginseng back in his hand, although there was no smile on his face, his voice was much more pleasant.

"But no, young master, I'm not afraid that I won't be able to buy it now..."A big man next to him said with a flattering smile.

"Yes, this little broken place, let's go back and bring some gifts to the old lady, but a few of them are sold out..."The other big man also nodded.

"It's still good in this shop, it doesn't look good, but there are good things....." There are also people who praise the shopkeeper.

However, no matter how the shopkeeper listens to it, he feels that this is a bit awkward, if their business is good, this mountain ginseng will be sold out before the New Year's Festival......

"How many shopkeepers are there?" The young man's compliments looked at the shopkeeper and asked.

"It's easy to say, how much does Childe want?" The shopkeeper smiled.

"Let's start with twenty boxes." The young man said lightly.

Twenty boxes, they also prepared thirty boxes of goods, the shopkeeper is happy, this month's business is off to a good start......

Seeing that the young man waved his hand, a big man behind him casually took out a money bag and grabbed a handful of gold leaves, the shopkeeper's eyelids jumped, and he used gold leaves to settle the bill at every turn, which was really generous.

After settling the account, several big men picked up the gift box, and the shopkeeper collected the money, and looked at the young man casually in the store, and seemed to be very interested in stopping in front of a container.

"Childe still wants to order?" The shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward to introduce him attentively, his eyes followed the young boy to fall on the table marked with pills, he smiled, reached out and grabbed a small porcelain bottle from within, "Childe, this is our Shunhetang's secret hangover pill ....."

"Hangover cure?" No mistakes, no word skipping. The young man was very interested, reached out and took it, opened it and sniffed it, "Does it work?" "No mistakes, no skipping words.

"Of course it works." The shopkeeper smiled, "Gongzi Jiankang asked, who doesn't know our Shunhetang's Three Laughs Hangover Pill...."

"So famous?" The young man apparently didn't believe it.

"Childe is a northerner, right? There are not many mistakes," the shopkeeper smiled, figuring out the young man's accent, "I'll give my son a bottle to try... You'll find out if you try..."

The shopkeeper's attitude was good, and a smile appeared on the young man's face, and he did not refuse.

"Then thank you shopkeeper, I'll try, if it's good, I'll sell more...."The young man smiled, and beckoned everyone to leave.

The shopkeeper and the young man kept sending them out, and saw the young man and his party get on the high-headed horse and roar away all the way.

"Hey, good business today." The lad was delighted.

The shopkeeper was also full of smiles, but remembering that the boy said that other medicine stores had sold out of mountain goods, he still felt a little regretful, if he could, he also wanted to be the medicine store that the person who came in to sell medicine and said that he was sorry that there was no goods......

Looking at Ling Yuan, who was standing in front of him and handed over the remaining money bag, Gu Banniang smiled.

"Yes," she said, pushing the purse back, "take it, and go there in two days and spend it all..."

Ling Yuan, who took off the big red feather gauze cloak and was only wearing a robe, was a little puzzled on his face.

“.. Buy all those hangover pills, and say that you want to do it before the year..."Gu Bainiang continued, "How much you want..... all this money will be a deposit for them..."

A big smile crossed her face as she said this.

“.. Then they will buy a lot of raw materials for this list....The materials are more expensive than before during the Chinese New Year..."She said with a smile, looking at Lingyuan, "....Then you can revert to Lingyuan......"

The corners of Ling Yuan's mouth twitched, and his gaze was on the half bag of gold leaves......

This means that this bag of gold is completely wasted.....

Doing this, in addition to adding some trouble to that medicine shop, is completely unprofitable for Gu Bainiang herself......

As if to see through his thoughts, Gu Bainiang smiled and explained: ".. The rules of the Chinese New Year medicine store do not leave arrears... Shunhetang is greedy for profit and takes orders, so he must raise funds to purchase concoction pills... They are counting on you to buy pills to offset ....."

"I threw down the deposit and didn't buy it, although there was a deposit, but it was far from enough money for them to pay for the expenses, so they owed a lot of money to others." Ling Yuan nodded, but he still didn't understand, it made sense to do this, no matter what, they had to throw a lot of money into Shunhetang before and after, and it was completely for nothing.

"The debt is not more than a year.." Gu Banniang said with a smile, her eyes looked in the direction of Shunhe Hall through the small courtyard wall, "This is called....killing the New Year Pig...."

This is purely detrimental to others....Lingyuan Heart Dao.

Gu Bainiang looked at him, seemed to hear what he was saying, and exhaled softly, "... As long as it can damage his ..... family..... it will be the greatest benefit to me....."

Feeling the deep sadness in the girl's sigh, Ling Yuan looked up, and the wind lifted Gu Eighteen Niang's black hair curtain, revealing a white forehead and a pair of eyes as deep as an ancient well.

This is the kind of state of mind that can present such eyes.....

Lingyuan couldn't help but think of an old man in the village when he was a child, who had gone through the hardships of parting from the world, and just sat under the big tree at the head of the village every day, looking at everything in front of him, no surprise, no joy, no sorrow, and everything was like a dead thing in his eyes......

Sensing Ling Yuan's scrutiny, Gu Banniang lowered her eyes and raised them again, and her eyes returned to clarity.

She smiled at Ling Yuan, revealing shallow dimples.

"Moreover, when others finish killing the New Year's pig, it's time for us to eat meat," Gu Banniang said......

She said let's... Ling Yuan's heart jumped, and his avoidable gaze finally couldn't help but fall on the girl's body, Gu Bainiang had already walked past him and walked out.

"And." Walking to the door, Gu Bainiang turned around and smiled, her eyes swept over his new clothes, "The clothes are good, and the person is very energetic when he wears them."

Lingyuan closed his lips tightly, looking uncomfortable, Lingbao walked out of the house with an oiled paper bag at this time, and when he heard it, he also looked at his brother, showing his little tiger teeth and smiling.

"Well, it's really pretty.." She nodded and said, "Thank you, Miss." ”

Being teased by the two girls, Lingyuan finally couldn't stand the face, snorted, and turned around and went into the house.

"Lingbao is also good-looking." Gu Bainiang looked at Lingbao, who had also changed into a new dress, and smiled softly.

"Thank you, miss." Lingbao thanked him again, handed over the oiled paper bag in his hand, and said with a little shyness, "This is a rice cake made by Lingbao himself, I hope Miss will not dislike it, and bring it back to Mrs. to taste..."

"Lingbao is really capable." Gu Bainiang did not refuse, reached out to take it, and praised her with a smile.

Lingbao blushed and looked at his toes.

"It's the New Year, and you have no relatives or friends here." Gu Bainiang reached out and stroked her head, said goodbye and left.

Seeing the girl leave, Lingbao pursed his mouth slightly and touched his temples.

"Obviously no more than two years older than me..... why do you always treat us like children..."Lingbao muttered, looking back at Lingyuan who was standing at the door again, "Brother, did you say?" ”

"Can Miss be the same as us?" No mistakes, no word skipping. Lingyuan lowered the corners of his mouth to teach his sister.

"That's right, how can Miss be the same as us..."Lingbao was relieved, and went to work with a smile.

Ling Yuan stood on the threshold, looking at the door motionless, his thin lips closed as tightly as ever, almost becoming a line.

He is a different identity from her, different is different...

Even if you stand closer, you will be separated by thousands of miles.......

When Gu Bainiang returned home, she didn't see Cao's, Gu Hai was setting up a bamboo pole in the kitchen to dry Cao's dismantled mattress and quilt list.

"Where's my mother?" Gu Banniang walked over to hand over the list to her brother and asked.

It's not early, and Cao's rarely goes out every day.

"I'm going to deliver the offerings to the ancestral hall." Gu Hai replied, "It's time to come back." ”

Gu Bainiang sighed, and then dried the list, but she always felt uneasy, and finally couldn't put it down.

"I'm going to pick up my mother, it's not good." She spoke, grabbed an umbrella and went out.

Gu Hai smiled later, her mother is such a big person, her sister always treats her as a child, and watches her sister wrapped in a big cloak walk out of the house.

From home to the ancestral hall, the nearest is Gu Leshan's house, you can get there through Meilin, and when you go to Meilin, Gu Bainiang can't help but slow down.

She had been here before, but she had never thought the scenery was so beautiful, perhaps because of a different mood.

Gu Bainiang couldn't help but take a few more steps, stood in a higher position, quietly looked at the scenery in the garden, and saw a woman coming in a hurry from a distance, not looking back while walking.

Gu Bainiang recognized the person at a glance as Cao's family, and couldn't help but show a smile on her face, and was about to raise her feet to walk down to greet her, when she suddenly saw another person behind Cao's family, and couldn't help but be stunned.

The person who came was short and fat, dressed in brocade clothes, and wearing a white fox cloak, and hurriedly followed behind Cao.

Cao Shi turned around and saw the comer, and his steps became faster.

Gu Bainiang, who was standing on a high place, was stunned, and there was a bang in her head, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

Those who came and should have come still came, and those who existed in their previous lives still exist, although their situation is completely different from that of their previous lives。。。。。。

Gu Baoquan, that brute

Gu Bainiang clenched the umbrella in her hand and ran wildly in the direction where the Cao family came.

At the same time, the man who was reaching out to hold Cao's suddenly stopped, and the sound of women laughing sounded in the plum forest, and seven or eight figures could be faintly seen swaying.

The man turned around and retreated, Cao's face turned pale and he ran away as if he was panicking, and he didn't even realize that he had passed by Gu Bainiang.

Looking at Cao's rapidly disappearing figure, Gu Banniang, whose face was pale, opened her mouth, but finally did not make a sound.

At this time, her mother will be more embarrassed to see her, right? No mistakes in many words

She gasped for air to calm herself, but her body was still shaking, and she couldn't help but crouch on the ground, holding her hands on the ground to avoid fainting.

The chill of the snow immediately spread through her fingers, calming her down as well, and she looked in the direction of the man's departure, biting her lower lip tightly.

The maids who collected the snow on the plum blossoms approached with a smile, Gu Bainiang took a few deep breaths, and quickly flashed behind the plum tree, and when the laughter of the group of maids disappeared, she slowly walked out, she stared firmly at the direction of the man's departure, as if her eyes could pass through the layers of barriers。。。。。。

Gu Baoquan, known as the current patriarch Gu Changchun in terms of generation, is a cousin, has a lot of family wealth, many children and nephews, is kind and charitable, and is known as an elegant name, otherwise he would have done such a thing to his mother in that life, but he could get out of the way, and he was indignant with the appearance of a victim。。。。。

Her hands were clenched tightly, her long nails digging into her flesh, and blood dripping down the snow on the ground to bloom bright flowers.

Someone can die, but this time it will definitely not be Cao

However, fortunately, it was getting late, and it was approaching the end of the year, and there were fewer people in Merlin, which would not be good for the Cao family and his family if it fell in the eyes of others.

Gu Bainiang let out a sigh and turned to leave, but a figure appeared in front of her.

Gu Bainiang, who was highly nervous, couldn't help but take a few steps back, hit the trunk of the plum tree, and the snow fluttered down and sprinkled her head and body.

"I said why did your family suddenly become so hard, so that's it...

The young man standing under the plum tree said with a smile, holding a few books in his hand and wearing a thin shabby robe, approaching step by step.

"It turned out that I found a big backer。。。。。 He stopped two steps away from Gu Bainiang, and a weird smile appeared on his white and handsome face, "Now your family doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking。。。。。 ”

"Gu Yu..." Gu Bainiang looked at the familiar and unfamiliar young man in front of her and said in a daze.
