Shopkeeper Hu sent a carriage from Ruyifang, and it was difficult to resist the hospitality, so Gu Wenxuan and Zhou Banxia had to go back to the inn directly, rest for a while, and then go out.

The inn is crowded with people, and it is really not a suitable place for talking. After entering the guest room, I washed my face, and while this was the case, the two of them entered the space and had lunch in advance.

There are still a lot of meals ordered in the past few days, what is put on the table, and what is still the same, even the cabbage stewed tofu is still steaming.

After taking the dishes and chopsticks, filling the rice, and drinking the soup first, Gu Wenxuan expressed his feelings about what he saw for the first time this morning.

"Not bad."

Zhou Banxia knew who he was referring to, and the shopkeeper Hu was also. This person is quite okay, and he never embarrass people when he can make it convenient for her, but there is a reason.

First there is the love between Mama Zhou and the shopkeeper Hu, and then there is Xiao Banxia's one-handed embroidery work and character that are worthy of friendship. Just say that her embroidery is enough investment.

"What do you think of that picture of green mountains and flowing water?"

"Artwork."

"Do you know how much it sold?"

"How much?"

In Ruyifang before, although Shopkeeper Hu did not disclose the price of the screen, Gu Wenxuan could hear that there was no starting price of three thousand taels, so he didn't even need to look at it.

Zhou Banxia sighed secretly, "Three hundred and fifty taels." It took a whole two years of rest, and when it was delivered, the shopkeeper Hu was stunned, and took the initiative to add one hundred taels, four hundred and fifty taels.

In this way, Xiao Banxia was worried that she would be blamed by Mrs. Qian, so she insisted that the shopkeeper Hu report and then give the silver ticket. This is also the reason why even Mrs. Qian helped Xiao Banxia keep it a secret. ”

"Profiteering!"

Oh, yes.

It can be seen that the embroidery girl is not difficult to find, but it is difficult to find a satisfactory one. After all, it depends on the qualifications to engage in embroidery, and it is necessary to play a small and be led by the master, and it is not possible to do it without more than ten years of skill.

Xiao Banxia is extremely talented in this area, and he is not absent from work and eager to learn. Back then, there were a lot of little maids who were popular with Mama Zhou in the sewing room, and she was the only one who was favored.

After that, in less than a year, Mama Zhou took the initiative to take her as an apprentice in private, and it can be said that Mama Zhou passed on all her lifelong learning and experience to her.

Xiao Banxia did not disappoint Mama Zhou, and in less than two years, she mastered all kinds of stitches, and was the best at Beijing embroidery and Suzhou embroidery as Mama Zhou expected.

Before the age of ten, she was able to freely integrate various embroidery methods, and used a pair of double-sided embroidered fans to become a teacher. In Mama Zhou's words, there are no regrets about having her as a disciple.

Since then, Mama Zhou has recommended Hu Shopkeeper to her. Shopkeeper Hu just watched Xiao Banxia's embroidery get better and better step by step, and it was not that he didn't think about redeeming her.

It was Xiao Banxia who refused.

The little girl is not only skillful, but also quite intelligent.

Even if the slave status is eliminated from Gaofu to Xiuzhuang, but he must sign a contract to be an embroidery girl for many years, he is also involuntarily, and one has the merit of protecting the master, and the other is kind to her, she might as well be loyal to a master, stay by the old lady's side and learn more things, not to mention that the Gao family still has Mama Zhou.

She swore that she would give Mama Zhou a pension to the end.

She also made an appointment with Mama Zhou, and when she grew up, she would find the old lady to redeem herself and take Mama Zhou out of the house to find a small village to live.

It's a pity that Mama Zhou not only didn't want to leave Gaofu, but left before she could send her pension. She wasn't there when she left, and she didn't know until dawn.

These belong to Xiao Banxia's memories, Gu Wenxuan didn't know before, but if this is the case, it is very easy to understand why Shopkeeper Hu looks at Banxia differently.

After learning that he saved Banxia, he didn't even look the same. Before going back this time, the two of them should find a time to pay homage to this Mama Zhou.

Zhou Banxia also had this intention, and he came to worship. At that time, Mama Zhou knew that she didn't want to be a person, and in order to protect her, she didn't let the Gao Mansion know about it and took her as an apprentice in private.

After that, it was natural that even the master of the Gao Mansion only knew that she had just entered the mansion and was taken care of by Mama Zhou, and she could embroider, but it was only limited to female redness, which was better than ordinary people.

On the contrary, because she often copied scriptures for the old lady, the most impressive thing was that she was like a little nun, who could write well, so she had already planned to redeem herself at the age of Xu Match.

After all, the old lady would rather use the scriptures she copied than copy half a word from the grandmother she brought from her mother's house. She is young, and she also knows that the old lady is taboo.

“…… Just because she saved the old lady, and happened to avoid the worries of the two adults at a critical time, she felt that she could bring her good luck, and the little girl knew that she regarded her as a grandmother, unlike the wish of the grandmother who copied the scriptures and prayed, it must be the children first, and then she was the master. ”

Gu Wenxuan understood what it meant.

Mrs. Gao didn't say it, but in fact, she knew in her heart that even the personal maid who grew up next to her could not be as loyal as before after she was married.

Saying that he was tired, Zhou Banxia took a sip of soup. "She is not afraid that the little girl will worry about her family, thinking that she will be raised as a deputy lady, and she will definitely be reluctant to leave the house and return to the village."

It's not hard to understand.

"On weekdays, I am very happy to see the little girl stay in the small study, and even the young lady in the house has a place to sit in the back and study.

During that period, I scared the little girl, for fear that when she grew up, she would promise which grandson to be an aunt, and she didn't even dare to use a little bit of rouge......"

Speaking of this, Zhou Banxia couldn't help but laugh out loud and found that the topic was getting farther and farther, so he hurriedly pulled it back.

Therefore, Mama Zhou is not a little girl in the future, and she has to wait for the arrangement of the shopkeeper Hu to pay homage to Mama Zhou.

Besides, wait a minute, I'm going to take you to the back street of Gaofu to step on the dots, isn't it a New Year's gift, if you want to worship, you have to give a New Year's gift first.

The old lady was very superstitious, otherwise the little girl would not have prepared to embroider a scripture for the year. ”

Gu Wenxuan understood the meaning of her words, it was nothing more than that it was not good if it was passed on to Old Madam Gao.

Now that I've said this, I've even mentioned stepping on the point. Taking advantage of this meeting in the space, there was no need to worry about having ears outside the wall, and he talked about the business he was going to do in the afternoon.

Sure enough, when it came to making money, his daughter-in-law's eyes suddenly sparkled!

"Look at how much I talk about. There are a lot of things to be busy in the afternoon, and it is late and dark and there is a curfew. Are you alright, alright, let's get out. ”

Look at your urgency!

Gu Wenxuan smiled, "It's not even eleven o'clock now, it's too late." Where are those pearls, and the colored pupils, I want the brown colored pupils that are close to black. ”

Zhou Banxia stood up and moved his chair, and asked unwillingly, "Or, this time I will be replaced by a rich and noble brother, you are my guard, let's act together?" ”

"It's better if you're in the dark, and I'm better in the light. No matter how you disguise yourself, two people are definitely bigger than one person. ”

You won't say yes!

Zhou Banxia glanced back at him, but he also knew that what he said was reasonable. "The question is, is the guard you hired by the Zhenhai Dart Bureau reliable?"

"Sure!" At least a hundred times more reliable than you pretending to be a man and pretending to be a rich boy, but he didn't dare to say this! Gu Wenxuan couldn't help but smile and explained.

"It's just that once something goes wrong, can I still be stupid and not run? What's more, you still have to answer all the way, have you forgotten that we still have this baby? ”
