Chapter 112: Lilai
Gu Bainiang smiled, nodded and said, "It should be, it should be, the eldest young master is such a handsome person, it is really a sin to let you talk about business exchange." β
"So I must thank you." Xin Chaoyang said, opening the cloth bag.
Gu Ba Niang looked curiously and saw him take out an ancient monster piece similar to a teapot.
"What is this?" She couldn't help asking, reached out and took the teapot, poured it herself, and poured it for Xin Chaoyang.
"This is Xun." Xin Chaoyang replied, "I plan to play a song for Gu Niangzi to show my gratitude." β
Gu Bainiang smiled and shook her head.
"I like Xun." Xin Chaoyang didn't start playing, but shook the Xun in his hand, and looked at Gu Bainiang with a smile, "Because many times, I want to cry but can'tγγγγγ β
"The eldest young master also has times when he wants to cry?" Gu Bainiang asked with a smile, and drank the tea herself.
"As long as you are human, there will always be times when things don't go your way." Xin Chaoyang smiled and brought Xun to his mouth, "This, you can cry instead of me." β
The low and distant tone of the whimpering voice dispersed with the mountain wind, the smile on Gu Bainiang's face gradually condensed, the teacup in her hand was slowly clenched, and at the same time, her heart was also clenched.
The heart-wrenching scenes of the past life passed by in front of me like a marquee, and the nightmares after rebirth tossed and turned, and the concocted medicinal materials that recited the pharmacopoeia day and nightγγγγγ
She lowered her head and looked at the girl's hands, the rough scars, and the specks of poison corrosionγγγγγγ
She saw herself confronting her people with a stubborn and arrogant attitudeγγγγγγ
That was not a dazed and helpless despair, but rather a desperate struggle of both defeatsγγγγγγ
Because I don't know if I will be beaten back to our original shape by fate in the next moment, the heartstrings that are tense all the time are on the verge of collapseγγγγγγ
And she didn't even have time to cry, no chance, no placeγγγγγ
The voice turned abruptly at this moment, like a pair of hands brushing her cheeks, the voice became wider, and the whole person seemed to be pulled into the vast emptiness, but with the loneliness came a kind of drifting, and the loneliness was full of freedomγγγγγγ
When the tea gets cold and the sky gets dark, the tune finally comes to light.
Gu Banniang, who was sitting upright without changing her figure, was blocked by the shadow of the sun, and she couldn't see her expression clearly.
Gu Niangzi smiled. Xin Chaoyang didn't look at her face, lowered his head and smiled.
"Where, where is it, the eldest young master's thanks are so elegant, it is really pleasing to the eye." Gu Bainiang also said with a smile in her voice.
As he spoke, he stood up, and Xin Chaoyang also stood up, giving salutes one by one and returning the salute.
"Thank you." Gu Banniang said in a low voice.
"No thanks." Xin Chaoyang replied with a smile.
Gu Eighteen Niang bowed, turned around and strode away, her clothes fluttering, like a lonely widow and a widow who lived alone in a blink of an eye.
Gu Bainiang's figure disappeared from sight, and the smile on Xin Chaoyang's face was swept away, and his brows furrowed slightly.
He thought that the sad aura that was inadvertently revealed by this girl was because of the early death of her poor father and the neglect of the clan, but the emotions that spread all over the world with his own playing were not only condensed by people's white eyes and sneer, not to mention, this girl's heart and will were so strong and fierce that he was surprised, and it was impossible for such a person to be so extreme and angry just because people looked down on him.
That kind of emotion is not so much sadness, but more like the desolate atmosphere that arises after the vicissitudes of life and death. Xin Chaoyang couldn't help but reach out and stroke his chin, and a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes.
Also, he suddenly recalled that this Gu lady had met him three times, and her attitude was always plain, although those eyes were looking at him, they were just looking, and there was not even a trace of fluctuation in their eyes, let alone their eyes shining like other women.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh, Thaksin would have such a thought? Like a woman, she thinks that as long as you have a good skin, there is nothing undesirable in the world?
However, this Gu Niangzi is really surprising, at that time, a woman's mind can also be filled with thoughts other than competing for favor and flattery?
No wonder Liu Gong was favored alone, and thousands of people chose such a woman to inherit her skills, and even did not hesitate to break the rules of not passing on the skills in vain, and not accepting them if they did not worship the ancestors.
How to think about yourself in the mountain, Gu Bainiang didn't care at all, the easiest way to deal with such a person is to remember that you can't do it without profit, after the incident of Wang Hongbin of Baohetang, she doesn't believe that there is affection in the business field.
The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and if you see through this, it will be indestructible.
The carriage drove slowly through the street, and the matter with Xin Chaoyang had been completely left behind, and there was no need to think about it for the time being, what she had to consider now was another major matter, a major matter that had been carefully considered and had not yet been discussed with the Cao family and Gu Hai, but she already had an irrevocable decision in her heart, saying that it was to discuss with them, but in fact, it was more like a report.
Naturally, her carriage has been replaced with the same tulle texture that other people use in summer, and she won't miss the beauty of summer when driving on the road.
Gu Bainiang looked out and happened to see a musical instrument trading house.
"Lingyuan." She couldn't help but blurt out.
The carriage stopped as promised, but the voice of the response was rusty.
"Miss, do you have any orders?" The guy who was driving the car asked respectfully.
This is not the first time that the young lady has called herself like this, and the little girl is used to it.
Listening to the young lady inside, she was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "You go to the musical instrument shop to buy a Xunlai." β
Cao, who personally delivered ginseng soup at night, was startled by the strange sound in his daughter's room.
"It's easy to watch... Gu Bainiang sneered and put down the Xun in her hand.
"The temptation of heaven is like a grate." Cao reached out and picked it up and muttered.
Gu Banniang hadn't heard this poem, and she was stunned when she heard it, God taught the people, this small musical instrument has such a big evaluation?
"Eighteen Niang, do you want to learn this?" Cao asked with a smile.
"It's just for fun." Gu Banniang smiled, a little embarrassed.
It's rare that her daughter has something she wants to play, and Cao's heart is a little excited.
"This is very good, my mother also likes to listen to it, when I was young, I used to listen to your grandfather blow... She stroked Tao Xun with her hand, and her thoughts went back to her youth, "Since I got married, I haven't heard of it again... β
Cao's parents also died early, and her mother's family had no relatives, and Gu Shibanniang was silent for a moment when she heard this.
"Then I'll learn, learn to blow it to my mother." She laughed.
"Okay, then invite a female gentleman?" Cao was obviously more interested and proposed.
I don't know if there's time. Gu Bainiang hesitated for a moment, but when she saw the joy on Cao's face, her heart softened.
"Okay, mother, let's decide." She nodded and said, thinking about it, "Why don't you buy one for your mother, let's learn together?" β
"I also learn? I'm so old... Cao's face was surprised and a little apprehensive.
These days, because of the worry-free food and clothing, Cao's complexion looks much better, but due to the overload, the fatigue on his face is obvious.
Gu Bainiang stretched out her hand to support her sideburns, there were more gray hairs than before, she was not yet thirty years oldγγγγγ
"Mother, you don't know how old or young you are." She laughed.
Cao finally nodded in response, a little girlish excitement appeared between her eyebrows, Gu Banniang saw a smile from her heart, in fact, the happiness she wanted was very simple, that is, to see her mother and brother happy, happy and healthy, what a simple wish, can't God satisfy her?
Shen Anlin stood at the door of Shunhe Hall for a moment, always seeing that the hall was deserted, his brows couldn't help frowning, he thought for a moment, and finally walked over.
"Guest officer, here only for consultation, not for medicine... Lingbao noticed that someone was coming in, and hurriedly raised his head and said, halfway through the words, he couldn't help but stop when he saw the person coming.
She still remembered that this heroic young man was the old owner of this shop, and he was obviously unhappy when he came once, what did he do this time?
Lingbao couldn't help but show a little vigilance, if his brother was thereγγγγγ Her expression instantly went down again.
Shen Anlin didn't notice the change in the look of the girl in front of him.
"Why don't you sell drugs?" He asked.
"This doesn't work for Shen Gongzi to ask." Gu Bainiang's voice sounded coldly in the back.
Shen Anlin only felt happy in his heart, turned around, and saw Gu Eighteen Niang standing at the door, her expression was still indifferent.
"Gu Niangzi." A smile appeared on Shen Anlin's face.
Gu Bainiang had already looked away, and walked inward, not planning to talk to him again.
She made no secret of his alienation, and it was strange that this kind of honesty made Shen Anlin feel at ease that he had never felt before.
"Is there a difficulty in Gu Niangzi's business?" He stepped forward and asked a question he couldn't even think of.
This question blurted out, and he himself was stunned, as if they were not familiar enough to care about each other, and they were not familiar with each other, but there was some saber rattling, although this saber rattling was a little inexplicable.
They had only met three times, and he had already lost his temper twice in front of her.
The girl who had already entered the inner hall stopped, and she turned her head with a strange smile on her face.
"You care about me?" She said, "You care about me? When you know each other, you are like a stranger, but when you don't know you, you γγγγγ β
She repeated, in a very strange tone, as if laughing and crying, and the last sentence was as low as a murmur, and it was difficult to hear clearly.
His own words are abrupt for a girl's family.
Shen Anlin was silent for a moment, "This is left by my mother, no matter who the current owner is, I hope it can prosperγγγγγγγ β
After a pause, he added, "That's all." β
It's like explaining it to her, and it's like explaining it to yourself.
Gu Bainiang's heart suddenly rose with a strong anger, so saying that he was doing well was as he wanted?
Shen Anlin looked up at her, and saw that the girl had already turned her head, did not speak, suddenly raised her hand and slapped it on the door frame, lifted the curtain and went in.
Seems to have provoked her anger even more? Shen Anlin looked at the shaking bead curtain, and suddenly couldn't help but smile.
It's really strange, what she seems to do in front of her is wrong, is this little lady angry with him?
Under Lingbao's vigilant gaze, Shen Anlin walked out of Shunhe Hall.
"Brother" The familiar female voice sounded on the side, Shen Anlin turned his head to look, and saw a girl in purple waving to him through the car curtain.
This is his sister, the third aunt, Shen Ye'er.
"Brother, you don't know yet, do you? No mistakes, a lot of words, that pharmacy is not ours... Shen Ye'er saw that her brother's face was gloomy, thinking that she was also suffering a cold face in the store, and said hurriedly.
"The disciple in that shop is fierce... Shen Ye'er muttered, and the disciple sitting on the chair with a golden knife appeared in front of her, looking at it with a cold expression, she couldn't help but shudder, shook her head, and the scene disappeared, but somehow the thought of wanting to go in and have a look, I don't know if the disciple is there?
Shen Anlin smiled, said I know, and asked her where she was going, diverting the topic.
The two brothers and sisters went home together, and Mrs. Shen San was seated in the hall.
"Mother." The two said hello together.
Mrs. Shen nodded kindly and looked at Shen Anlin, "If the army is not busy, go and see your father more, his health is getting worse and worse." β
"Yes." Shen Anlin bowed and said, then retreated.
Watching him disappear into the front hall, Mrs. Shen slowly picked up the teacup and asked Shen Ye'er on the side casually, "Where are you and your brother from?" β
"I went to Wu Sanniang's house to play, and I met my brother on the way back... Shen Ye'er hurriedly stood up and replied, with a respectful attitude, how could he be arrogant in front of people.
"Where did you meet it?" Mrs. Shen asked casually.
"In Shunhetang." Shen Ye'er replied.
"Shunhetang?" Mrs. Shen San put down the teacup and looked at her.
Shen Ye'er nodded hurriedly, just afraid that she would doubt herself, so she hurriedly repeated it again, and guessed by herself, "Brother may not know that Shunhetang is not our family, so go in and take a look... I saw that his face was not good. β
Mrs. Shen just let out an oh when she heard this, and picked up the teacup again.
Shen Ye'er understood and hurriedly retired.
Seeing her leave, the round-faced woman standing on the side hurriedly said, "How could Young Master Lin not know that Shunhetang was taken out?" If he hadn't stopped him, he wouldn't have sold it at such a low priceγγγγγ β
Mrs. Shen San sighed, stroked the tea powder with the tea lid, and suddenly asked, "You said that Shunhetang hung a sign?" β
"It's still called Shunhetang, but it's become Gu's... The woman replied hurriedly.
"Gu's..." Mrs. Shen San put down the teacup, looked at the round-faced woman and said with a smile, "So it turned out that it was taken away by our in-laws?" β
The round-faced woman was stunned for a moment, but then understood.
Since that day in the temple noticed the girl who was talking to Shen Anlin, she went to inquire, she didn't know, she was shocked when she asked, it turned out to be the girl from the Gu family.
When the third master was young and ignorant, he once made an appointment with someone to kiss the doll, and then the matter was covered up, and there were only two or three people in the family who knew about it.
And the doll was the Gu family in the same city, and that day I inquired and learned that the girl was the bride in the agreement, which scared everyone.
Because the third master refused to admit this family affair, he had not been in contact with the Gu family for many years, but he didn't expect this girl to magically appear in front of Shen Anlinγγγγγγ
"In this case, it's not fate." Mrs. Shen San smiled deeply, "The lord is too, marriage matters, the words of a gentleman, how can it be child's play." β
"Madam, have you heard, that girl from the Gu family is rich, and she is very powerful," the round-faced woman hurriedly said about the major events of the Gu family that she had heard about recently.
βοΌ 10,000 taels of silver, 1,000 taels of gold... Third Lady Shen was surprised, and her expression, which had always been calm, changed greatly.
"Yes, you said how arrogant you are, such a girl is too powerful, too unruly, too sharpγγγγγ" The round-faced woman nodded, holding her hand on her chest, obviously still in shock.
It is unheard of for a woman to behave like this
"Ten thousand taels of silver... 1,000 taels of goldγγγγγ Mrs. Shen San waved her hand, signaling her not to speak, and she muttered the sentence herself, her slender eyes suddenly lit up and burst into brilliance.
"Come on." She stood up abruptly, "Go get me a matchmaker." β
