Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Shopkeeper Hu sent a carriage from Ruyifang, but the hospitality was so warm that Gu Wenxuan and Zhou Banxia had no choice but to go back to the inn and rest for a while before going out.

The inn is crowded with people and is really not a suitable place for a heart-to-heart talk.

After entering the guest room and washing their faces, the two of them went into the space to have lunch in advance.

There are still a lot of meals ordered in the past few days. They are still the same as they were placed on the table. Even the cabbage and tofu stew is still steaming hot.

Taking the bowl and chopsticks, filling the rice with rice, and taking a sip of soup first, Gu Wenxuan expressed his feelings about what he saw and heard this morning.

"People are not bad."

Zhou Banxia knew who he was referring to, shopkeeper Hu.

This person is quite nice, and he never makes things difficult for others when he can help her, but there is a reason for that.

First there was the friendship between Aunt Zhou and Shopkeeper Hu, and then there was Xiao Banxia’s embroidery skills and character that were worthy of friendship.

Just saying that her embroidery skills are enough is enough investment.

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

"artwork."

"Do you know how much it sold for?"

"How many?"

Previously at Ruyifang, although shopkeeper Hu didn't disclose the price of the screen, Gu Wenxuan could tell that the starting price was 3000 taels without even looking at it.

Zhou Banxia secretly sighed, "350 taels. It took a full two years of rest. When the delivery came, shopkeeper Hu was dumbfounded and took the initiative to add a hundred taels, 450 taels."

In this way, Xiao Banxia was still worried that she would be blamed by Mrs. Qian, so she insisted on letting shopkeeper Hu report it before giving her a bank note.

This is why even Mrs. Qian kept Xiao Banxia a secret. "

"Profit!"

Yes.

It can be seen that it is not difficult to find an embroiderer, but it is difficult to find a satisfactory one.

After all, engaging in embroidery requires qualifications, and you have to be led by a master from a young age. You can't do it without more than ten years of skill.

Xiao Banxia is extremely talented in this area and is diligent and eager to learn.

At that time, there were many little maids learning female beauty from Grandma Zhou in the sewing room, but she was the only one who caught the eye.

After that, in less than a year, Grandma Zhou took the initiative to accept her as her disciple in private.

It can be said that Grandma Zhou passed on all her lifelong learning and experience to her.

Xiao Banxia did not disappoint Grandma Zhou. In less than two years, she mastered various needle techniques. As Grandma Zhou expected, she was best at Beijing embroidery and Suzhou embroidery.

At less than ten years old, she was able to freely combine various embroidery techniques and started with a pair of double-sided embroidery fans.

In the words of Grandma Zhou, having her as a disciple has no regrets.

After that, Grandma Zhou recommended Shopkeeper Hu to her.

Shopkeeper Hu just watched Xiao Banxia's embroidery skills getting better and better step by step, and he didn't think about redeeming her.

It was Xiao Banxia who refused.

The little girl is not only handy, but also quite smart.

Even if she cancels her slave status when she transfers from Gaofu to Xiuzhuang, she still has to sign a contract to be a permanent embroiderer. She also has no choice but to do so.

One of them has the ability to protect the master, and the other is kind to her. She might as well be loyal to one master and stay with the old lady to learn more, not to mention that the Gao family still has Aunt Zhou.

She had sworn that she would provide for Grandma Zhou until she died.

She also made an appointment with Aunt Zhou. When she grows up, she will find the old lady to redeem herself and take Aunt Zhou out of the house to live in a small village.

Unfortunately, Grandma Zhou not only didn't want to leave Gaofu, she also left before she could die.

She wasn't around when I left, and I didn't find out until dawn.

These memories belong to Xiao Banxia, ​​and Gu Wenxuan didn't know them before.But if this is the case, it is easy to understand why shopkeeper Hu looks at Banxia in a different light.

After learning that he had saved Banxia, ​​even his eyes were different.

Before going back this time, the couple should find time to pay homage to Grandma Zhou.

Zhou Banxia also had this intention and came to pay homage.

At that time, Aunt Zhou knew that she didn't want to be the current one, so in order to protect her, she didn't let Gao Fu know about it and secretly accepted her as her disciple.

After that, naturally even the servants of the master of the Gao Mansion only knew that she had been taken care of by Aunt Zhou when she first entered the house, and that she could embroider, but that was only because the female beauty 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 and could calligraphy well. Therefore, she had already planned to redeem herself when she reached the betrothal age.

After all, the old lady would rather use the scriptures she copied than the nanny who brought her from her parents’ home to copy even half a word.

Even though she was young, she knew the old lady's taboos.

"...Just because she saved the old lady and happened to avoid the two adults' worries at the critical moment, she felt that it would bring her good luck.

In addition, the little girl repays her kindness and regards her as a grandmother, unlike the grandmother who copied the scriptures and prayed for her children first, and then her master. "

Gu Wenxuan understood this.

Mrs. Gao didn't say anything, but she knew in her heart that even the personal maid who grew up next to her would never be as loyal as before after she was betrothed.

Saying he was tired, Zhou Banxia took a sip of soup. "She is not afraid that the little girl will miss her family and raise her like a deputy young lady. She will definitely be reluctant to leave the house and return to the village."

Not difficult to understand.

"On weekdays, I am very happy to see the little girl staying in the small study room. Even when the lady in the house is in class, the little girl has a place to sit in the back and study.

During that period, the little girl was so frightened that she was afraid that when she grew up, she would marry some grandson as her aunt, so she didn’t even dare to use a little rouge..."

Speaking of this, Zhou Banxia couldn't help but burst into laughter and realized that the topic was getting further and further away, so he quickly pulled it back.

"That's why Aunt Zhou's future life is not handled by a little girl. To pay homage to Aunt Zhou, you have to wait for Shopkeeper Hu's arrangements.

Furthermore, I will take you to a spot in the back streets of Gaofu first to give you a New Year gift. If you want to pay homage, you must first give a New Year gift before going.
The old lady was very superstitious, otherwise the little girl would not have prepared to embroider a scripture for the ceremony. "

Gu Wenxuan understood what she meant, it was just that it would be bad if it got to Mrs. Gao.

Now that we have said this, we have even mentioned the key points.

Taking advantage of the fact that he was in space and didn't have to worry about ears outside the wall, he talked about the business he was going to do in the afternoon.

Sure enough, when he talked about making money, his wife's eyes suddenly shone!
"Look at how talkative I am. There are a lot of things to do in the afternoon. It's late and it's dark and there's a curfew.

Are you okay, okay, let's get out quickly. "

Look how anxious you are!

Gu Wenxuan laughed heartily, "It's not even eleven o'clock yet, so there's still time.

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, "How about this time I change into a rich young man, and you are my guard, and we can act together?"

"It's better if you stay in the dark and I stay in the light. No matter how you disguise yourself, two people will definitely have a greater goal than one."

I knew you wouldn't agree!
Zhou Banxia turned around and rolled her eyes at him, but she also knew that what he said was reasonable.

"The question is, are the guards you hired from Zhenhai Escort Agency reliable?"

"It must be reliable!" At least it's a hundred times more reliable than you pretending to be a rich young man disguised as a man, but he didn't dare to say this!

Gu Wenxuan explained while holding back a smile.

"If something goes wrong, can I still be stupid and not run away?

What's more, you have been supporting me all the way. Have you forgotten that we still have this treasure? "
