famous eldest daughter

Chapter 72
Perhaps Gu Yuqing's leisurely calmness infected her, and the girl gradually calmed down.

He took a few deep breaths, calmed himself down, and said: "I am a villager from Wuqing Village at the foot of the mountain. My mother asked me to deliver wild vegetables to the masters of Qingquan Temple. I thought it would be faster to take a shortcut and still catch up. I went home for lunch last time, and it’s not like I’ve walked that road before. Who would have thought that I would encounter a wild boar this time, but luckily the lady passed by and saved me.”

As she spoke, Gu Yuqing's eyes moved slightly downward, and sure enough he saw a bamboo basket carried on her back. The bamboo basket had a lid on it, and it should contain the wild vegetables she mentioned.

I don’t know how much wild vegetables are left after being chased by a wild boar and almost losing my life.

"We happen to be going to Wuqing Village, and I can take you along." This little girl spoke neither humble nor overbearing, and was clear and eloquent. Gu Yuqing had a good impression of her.

Glancing longingly at the carriage where Gu Yuqing was sitting, the little girl pursed her lips and shook her head, "I'm going to deliver wild vegetables. Thank you for your kindness, Miss."

Hearing this, Gu Yuqing didn't force herself, frowned slightly, and glanced at the bamboo basket she was carrying. Gu Yuqing only asked her if she was injured and could she walk on her own. Seeing that she was indeed fine, she Let her leave first.

As soon as the little girl left, Gu Yuqing pointed to the dead wild boar at Ji Xiang's feet and said in a dumbfounded voice: "Why did you bring it here too!"

Just then he saw Ji Xiang supporting the little girl with his left hand, and dragging the wild boar, which weighed several hundred kilograms, with his right hand, out of the dense forest. Gu Yuqing suddenly had three black lines hanging on his forehead.

Where did she get such great power!

Hearing this, Ji Xiang glanced down at his trophy and said seriously: "Eat it! Roast wild boar, stir-fry wild boar, boil wild boar, or make stuffing. It's delicious no matter how you eat it."

Gu Yuqing's mouth twitched.

This girl made it sound as if the Gu family had treated her harshly, dragging a wild boar back to Qingquan Temple.

Fortunately, Gu's carriage has always been spacious and sturdy, and the space at the bottom of the carriage is enough for two adults. Although it is more difficult to load a wild boar at this time, it is still possible, but it will make the two horses pulling the carriage tired.

After loading the wild boar and getting on the carriage, Ji Xiang smiled and said to Gu Yuqing: "That little girl is really impressive to this slave!"

Gu Yuqing smiled with interest: "What?"

"When the slave passed by, the wild boar was almost on top of her. She was lucky enough to run away desperately while still holding the big bamboo basket in her hand."

"When the slave subdued the wild boar and looked back at her, she was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she was sitting there paralyzed as if covered with chaff, breathing heavily, only holding the bamboo basket in her hand tighter and tighter. "

"The slave asked her why she didn't throw away the bamboo basket. Wouldn't it make her run faster? She said it was for the masters at Qingquan Temple on the mountain. The masters paid the deposit and she How could you throw it away!"

"The slave asked again, why don't you carry it on your back? You have to hold it in your hands and run away. It's such a burden! What do you think she said?" Ji Xiang blinked and smiled at Gu Yuqing.

Gu Yuqing leaned on the pillow behind her and found a comfortable position to talk to Ji Xiang, "What did she say?"

Before he could answer, Ji Xiang laughed and said, "She only said, what if I was carried behind my back and got bitten by a wild boar? Wouldn't the masters of Qingquan Temple have nothing to eat!"

When I think about the little girl just now, she was so frightened that she lost her soul. She was like a shivering skinny quail, but she looked at her with a pair of big black and white eyes and said such righteous words. Ji Xiang I couldn't help laughing.

"She is about to die, but she still thinks about delivering wild vegetables to others. She doesn't think about it. If she is eaten by a wild boar, the wild boar will carry her bamboo basket and deliver it for her!"

Gu Yuqing smiled and gave Ji Xiang a look, "You are the only one with a sharp tongue. That girl is an honest and good girl."

She is only 13 years old now. She has only lived two lives and is more mature. She can't help but call girls of the same age her children.

Jixiang has long been used to Gu Yuqing saying what she says, but she doesn't think what she said is awkward.

While Gu Yuqing and Ji Xiang were chatting and joking, the carriage drove slowly, but not long after, it passed through the three large archways at the head of Wuqing Village and entered the village.

Although Wuqing Village is not big, the roads in the village are winding and difficult to navigate. The driver stopped and asked for directions several times before he parked the car firmly at the door of the tea shop.

Gu Yuqing helped Jixiang get out of the car and found a quiet corner to sit down. The landlady immediately came to entertain him.

"At first glance, this young lady must be a pilgrim coming to Qingquan Temple from Kyoto." As she approached, the proprietress smiled enthusiastically, "What would you like to drink, young lady? Our chrysanthemum wine is a famous flower and fruit wine from eight villages in the ten miles. It is most suitable for young ladies. Girls drink, can you have a pot?"

Gu Yuqing smiled and refused: "Two bowls of tea and four tea eggs will be fine." His eyes crossed the landlady's face, which was not very well maintained, and he couldn't help but pause.

When the other party didn't buy the drinks she was selling, the landlady immediately showed a look of displeasure on her face. She rolled her eyes, looked at Gu Yuqing with a strange look, and said, "Young lady, you don't seem to be short on money for her clothes and jewelry, why are you so stingy? You must be a maid from a wealthy family who stole the master's things and ran away."

Her voice was so loud that the villagers who were sitting here drinking tea and resting immediately turned their eyes towards Gu Yuqing and the others, and started talking to each other.

The villagers are simple, but when they speak, they are also naked and unobstructed, making it difficult to hear.

Gu Yuqing immediately frowned.

How could Ji Xiang endure others making irresponsible remarks to Gu Yuqing? He immediately wanted to stand up and argue, but was stopped by Gu Yuqing's look. He had no choice but to bow his head in anger and clenched his fists loudly.

Gu Yuqing, who has an auspicious temperament, knows that she hates to see herself being wronged the most.

But this time they came to Qingquan Temple to seek medicine for Ruyi. If they made a big fuss here, the news would accidentally reach the ears of Prince Duan. Prince Duan would be extremely suspicious. If he sends someone to come If you inquire about this, you will definitely find out that she met Abbot Taihong.

Although Abbot Taihong said that he would never tell anyone what happened today, the fact that Abbot Taihong was from the Xiaosu sect was enough for Prince Duan to guess Gu Yuqing's intention.

It doesn't matter whether he has real evidence or not. As long as he makes speculations, it will be fatal.

Therefore, she could only endure what happened today.

It's all the fault of that stinky jade, if you want to eat some tea eggs, you are not afraid of choking on it.

Seeing that Gu Yuqing and Ji Xiang, two weak girls, did not dare to resist in the face of his ridicule, the proprietress became more and more proud, looking directly at Gu Yuqing with provocative eyes, waiting for her to lose face and take the initiative to buy wine from her.

Her tea shop has been open for decades and has welcomed many passing customers.

She had seen many young ladies from wealthy families, and she could tell at a glance that Gu Yuqing was not just a maid.

He said this because he just wanted to use provocation to force her to buy wine.

Gu Yuqing looked at the landlady coldly and said, "As you said, let's make a pot of chrysanthemum brew."

Seeing Gu Yuqing bowing her head in submission, the proud smile on the landlady's face grew stronger. She laughed loudly and said more vigorously: "Unfortunately, today's chrysanthemum brew is only made in large pots and not small pots."

"Okay, then come to Dahu. Please hurry up, we are in a hurry." Gu Yuqing said calmly and coldly.

But the boss lady changed the subject and had another argument.
