Reborn Nongmen's little lucky wife

Chapter 145 Finding Someone

Gu Dashan heard the words and started to say: "Your auntie and your father are twins, and she is also 37 this year. She looks like your grandma, with a long face, a thin body, a pointed chin, red phoenix eyes, and a sesame seed on the left brow." Large and small moles, brownish red..."

When I was a child, people in the village said that people with such moles were blessed, but Da Ya was a miserable person. She lost her mother since she was a child, and was abused by her own father and stepmother. In the end, she even eloped when she got married.

Thinking of Gu Daya, Gu Dashan couldn't help wiping away tears.

He wiped away his tears and continued to describe Gu Daya's appearance very carefully. He even explained clearly that there was a scar on Gu Daya's right forehead and that her right earlobe was torn and split in two. .

Listening to Gu Dashan's description, Gu Jinli was very angry. Auntie Da Ya had so many injuries on her body. Needless to say, it was Mrs. Gu and the others who beat her. Even her earlobe could be torn. Ruthless!

Gu Jinli once again cursed Mrs. Gu's family to die on the way to escape from famine.

By the time Gu Jinli finished painting Gu Daya's portrait, it was already dark. She lit a lamp to retouch the portrait several times, and finally finished the portrait and showed it to Gu Dashan.

When Gu Dashan saw Gu Daya's portrait, he said excitedly, "Like, like your auntie, but she's a little too old... After all these years, Daya should be so old too."

The siblings haven't seen each other for more than half a year since Gu Daya eloped with the shopkeeper, and now it's almost 20 years.

Gu Jinli said with a smile: "My aunt is not a monster, of course she will grow old, don't worry, Dad, we will definitely find my aunt."

Gu Dashan said with a smile: "Our Xiaoyu is a lucky one, if he can find it, he will definitely find it."

This daughter is the lucky star of their family. If it weren't for her, their family would have died on the way to escape.

"Father, third grandpa and third grandma, it's time to eat." Gu Jinxiu brought the food to the main room, and shouted to Gu Dashan and the others who were still talking with a smile.

"Here we come." Gu Jinli and Gu Jinan cleaned up the things on the table, and after putting away the two portraits, they moved the table back to the main room, and the family sat down to eat together.

During the meal, they talked about how much money should be paid to find someone.

The third grandpa and the third grandma wanted to spend all their savings to find someone, but Gu Jinli disagreed: "Money touches people's hearts. If you give too much money, someone will play tricks, and we will be the ones who will suffer."

She thought for a while, and said, "We will give you [-] taels of silver for those who provide effective information, and two taels of silver for those who can bring people safely to us."

The third grandma frowned and said, "Why is there such a big difference? Why don't they let us take us to find someone? Take us to find someone, and we can meet someone earlier."

Gu Jinli said: "Some people have bad hearts. If we promise to lead us to find someone, we will pay as much as we want. If no one is found by then, we will go with them. It is very likely that someone will be knocked out and robbed of money. It is better to let them be safe. It’s safer to bring people to us and give them two taels of silver.”

She's talking about bringing people safely to them, and if they're damaged, don't expect a reward.

The third grandfather agreed: "This method is good. Bringing people here can reduce some risks and cut off those people's bad thoughts."

After eating, Gu Jinli took out two portraits and copied them with Gu Jinan.

Gu Jin'an is smart. After Gu Jinli told him the skills of sketching in detail, he learned it for two hours during the day, and he was able to copy portraits by himself at night.

The two brothers and sisters each copied three portraits before resting.

Early the next morning, Gu Jinan took out the portraits of Gu Fuya and Gu Daya and showed them to Liang Zhuzi, He Dacang, and He Wanli who came to get the tofu, and asked them to help find someone, and offered a reward thing.

Liang Zhuzi and the others made money from the Gu family's tofu, and quickly said, "What's the money? The two elder sisters are actually the sisters of the Gu family brothers. Naturally, we need to help find them."

After each of the three took a portrait, they promised: "Brothers of the Gu family, don't worry, we will only show the portraits to others and will not send them out. When we find someone, we will return the portraits intact."

Although the portrait is of a middle-aged woman, she is still a woman. It is not good to give the portrait to others casually, and it must be taken back.

Gu Dashan nodded with a smile, and said gratefully: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

He Wanli waved his hand and said, "What's the trouble, the brothers of the Gu family gave us tofu to make a living, so we should help find someone."

After Liang Zhuzi and the others took the tofu and paid the money, they left with their burdens.

After they left, the Gu family had finished their breakfast. The third grandfather and Gu Dashan packed up a gift, took a portrait, and followed Gu Jinan to Shangjia Village, begging Shang Xiucai to help find someone.

When Shang Xiucai saw those two portraits, his eyes lit up, and he said in amazement: "Who painted these portraits?" Popularization is of great help to the arrest of fugitive criminals.

Shang Xiucai is the son-in-law of Captain Jiang, who is in charge of public security in Tianfu County, so Shang Xiucai has seen portraits of criminals wanted by the county government.

That portrait... To be honest, it is far from the real person, and it is impossible to find the real person according to the portrait, so many criminals cannot be arrested and brought to justice.

If the painters of the county government can have such a painting skill, those criminals who are at large will no longer be able to hide.

Gu Jinan said: "It was drawn by Xiaoyu."

He added: "I can also draw."

This was what Xiaoyu told him last night when his brother and sister were copying portraits.

Xiaoyu said that Shang Xiucai will definitely be interested in this kind of painting skills, but she is a girl, and many things are inconvenient to do, such as this involves going to the yamen to teach people to paint, or even going to the prison to listen to the prisoners. She couldn't describe what a fugitive criminal looked like, so she let him do it.

If he can rely on this painting skill to enter the county government to teach painters to paint, it will be of great benefit to his fame.

In the previous dynasties, the madman style was prevalent, and scholars paid more attention to fame. In Dachu, although this kind of madman style has weakened a lot, scholars still pay attention to fame.

This novel painting skill has helped Gu Jinan to gain fame, which is very beneficial to him.

Gu Jin'an is not that kind of pedantic scholar. On the contrary, he is very realistic and knows the importance of fame and success.

Only when he has a reputation, can he not be replaced by others when he goes to the exam, can he successfully obtain fame, and can protect his family, so he didn't refuse, but followed the words of taking care of Jinli.

Shang Xiucai knew that it was Gu Jinli's handwriting, so he wasn't too surprised. The little girl had already given him too many surprises, and there was no shortage of this one.

But he didn't ask how Gu Jinli learned this painting technique, but said to Gu Jin'an: "This painting technique is very useful for the county government to arrest fugitives. If you want, you can go to the county government to teach painters to paint."

He said again: "This matter is very beneficial to you. Not only can you become famous, but you can also get a lot of rewards."
