Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 5 Plaque
Unprepared, the man on the ladder was almost shaken and fell off. Fearful and angry, he hugged the building and shouted for someone to come and chase him away.

"Where did you come from, you little beggars, why don't you hurry up and drive them away-damn, it's really bad luck..." The shopkeeper who stood in front of the shop and looked up at the staff picking up the plaque also yelled.

"You guys should be quicker, you want to wait a while for the young master to come over, we will lose face together, right?"

With the voice of the shopkeeper, the little guy naturally rushed even harder. He not only pushed Gu Sixiao to the ground, but also kicked him, "Fucking beggar, where should I go—an eyesore..."

There was no strength left in this kick, and Gu Sixiao even curled up.But when the boy turned around, she clutched her stomach, got up like crazy and rushed over.

"You are not allowed to pick up the Gu family's plaque——no!" Gu Sixiao rushed past the boy with his back to her, but was grabbed by the back of the neck by the shopkeeper.

"You little beggar is crazy—ah..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Gu Sixiao had already hugged his arm with her backhand, and bit it hard.

The shopkeeper let out a scream, and shook his hand, trying to shake off Gu Sixiao, but he couldn't shake it off anyway, his arm hurt, and he wondered if he had been bitten off a piece of flesh.

Cursing loudly, amidst the laughter of the onlookers, the little guy finally came to his senses, and together with the two guys who jumped off the ladder, he stepped forward and pulled Gu Sixiao away.

Although he bit hard, but Gu Sixiao was thin and weak, how could he withstand the pull of several young and strong men, and was pushed to the ground in a short while.

The shopkeeper rolled up his sleeves, and when he saw the bruised teeth marks on his arm, he became even more furious.

After a few steps, he kicked Gu Sixiao on the back and shouted: "Kill this little beggar to death..."

The guys hesitated for a moment, but they still kicked people.

Those who watched the excitement around first applauded, but after a few breaths, someone couldn't help shouting:

"Hey, don't you really want to beat people to death? You're going to die..."

"A little beggar, what can I do if I beat her to death..." The shopkeeper cursed bitterly, but waved his hand.

A few guys understood, and naturally backed away.

If this really kills people, it's not good after all.

"Fortunately, get out soon..." Picking up the little beggar with his toes, the shopkeeper turned around with a hum, but someone grabbed his feet from behind, causing him to stagger and almost fell to the ground .

Even though there were helpers to support him, he was in a panic, and when he lowered his head, he even lost the crow blue satin cloth shoes on his feet.

Taking a closer look, the little beggar who had fallen on the ground hadn't got up yet, but was holding the shoe he had lost tightly in his hand. It was obvious that the little beggar had pulled his foot just now.

Angry and hated, he wanted to step forward and kick a few times, but someone pushed through the crowd and asked in a deep voice, "What kind of trouble is this?"

Startled, the shopkeeper didn't bother to pick up the shoes, hurried over, bent over, bowed to accompany him with a smile and said: "Young master, it's all that little beggar, hateful, if you insist on getting entangled, it's a waste of time... ..."

The young man in a brocade robe raised his thick eyebrows, and rolled his eyes at the shopkeeper, "Hurry up and drive people away—let people watch here—doesn't it look good?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly responded, but out of the corner of his eyes, he glanced at the young man standing beside the young master.

The young man was wearing only a blue t-shirt, and the material was ordinary, but the shopkeeper knew that the so-called "making people look bad" did not refer to the people around him, but to the person next to their young boss.

Without talking about anything else, the shopkeeper turned around and yelled, asking someone to carry the little beggar away, and then bent down to pick up the shoes, but the little beggar was so tightly gripped that he didn't even pull it off twice.

Angry and resentful, he couldn't help cursing: "It's none of your business for us to pick plaques from the Luo family, you have to come here to make trouble—damn, you should have been killed just now, you little beggar who doesn't understand human language ..."

"No, it's not the Luo family—" Gu Sixiao raised her head, her voice was weak, but her eyes were sharp.

Passing past the shopkeeper, she looked at the brocade-robed youth not far away who didn't even look at her, and hissed, "This is Fan Wang Gu's family, how could it be Luo Chunshan's shop!?"

The phrase "Luo Chun Fan" was called out, and the crowd burst into laughter.

The shopkeeper's face was a little embarrassed, and he couldn't help turning his head to look at the young master's house.

Being laughed at by everyone, the young master Luo Ziying was also embarrassed, but he still smiled and said to the young man beside him: "Brother Su Xian, I made you laugh..."

The blue-shirted boy just smiled, "Why are you laughing, Brother Luo, don't you forget that Su came here just to learn from Brother Luo?"

study? !
Luo Ziying smiled, but there was no smile in her eyes.

People from Beisu, come to learn from him, Roche?What a joke!Who in the fan shop doesn't know Nan Gu Bei Su's name?Although Luo's is well-known, it would be embarrassing to compare that name with these two fan makers.

Everyone knew that because Luo Shi couldn't compete with Gu Shi, they ingeniously painted *** on the silk fan to attract people's attention.Because of this, he got the reputation of Luo Chunfan.Although those dudes and brothels must have a Luo Chun fan in their pink rooms, and even many brides must have a Luo Chun fan in their dowry, but it can only be used in the boudoir to add fun, no matter how good it sells, But compared to Gu's, it's really...

Shaking her head secretly, Luo Ziying didn't like scolding the little beggar in front of Beisu Shaodong's family. Not only did she not let a group of guys beat him, but she also said kindly: "That little girl, the Gu family has already sold this shop to our family. !"

After saying a word, he glanced at the shopkeeper, but didn't speak.

But the shopkeeper already understood: "Hurry up, take this plaque off for me..."

"No, don't..." How could you sell it to the Luo family?Their Gu family has opened this shop for five to sixty years.

Gu Sixiao struggled and crawled over, trying to grab the guy who jumped on the ladder, but was held down firmly.

"It's a pity..." The blue-shirted boy looked up at the golden lacquer plaque, and couldn't help sighing: "Fan King, apart from the Gu family, there is no other family that dares to hang such a plaque."

Raising her eyebrows, Luo Ziying snorted twice: "What fan king? The Gu family has already lost. Now that the Gu family is mentioned, who would say fan king? It's just a prostitute..."

When Luo Ziying said this, the two clerks on the ladder happened to take off the plaque, and the shopkeeper waved from below: "Throw it down—"

The two clerks withdrew their hands, and the gold-lacquered plaque was thrown down with a "bang".

Smoke and dust rose everywhere, and a good plaque was smashed to pieces, and the gold border wrapped around it fell apart, even the two characters "Fan Wang" in the middle were cracked on both sides.

The blue-shirted boy's eyes flickered slightly, looking at the plaque that fell into the dust, his eyes were deep, but he didn't speak.

Smiling proudly, Luo Ziying waved his hand and invited: "Jingchun, talk inside..." As he spoke, the person had already stepped on the plaque swaggeringly.

"don't want……"

Hearing the tragic hiss, the boy in blue shirt glanced back at the little girl who fell on the ground, blinked, and followed Luo Ziying.I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, he went around for a while, and just bypassed the plaque with the word "Fan King".

"Brother Luo, I heard that you got the pattern of the 'Seven Treasures Fan', may I let the younger brother take a look?"

Seven Treasures Fan?
Gu Sixiao raised her head blankly and looked at the back of the blue-shirted boy. Before she could think about it, the shopkeeper had already roared.

"Hurry up and throw away the garbage..." the shopkeeper roared, and immediately a guy came up to snatch the plaque from Gu Sixiao.

"Don't throw it away—it's not rubbish, it's not..." Struggling to climb to the plaque, Gu Sixiao protected the plaque with his hands, touched the protruding "Fan King", choked up and couldn't make a sound.

Seeing that she was lying on the plaque as if she was crazy, a young man finally couldn't bear his temper and shouted: "Little beggar, if you want to find someone from the Gu family, go to the Gu family happily, whether you owe them or they owe you money." I owe you, if you go late, the Gu family will leave..."

"Let's go?!" As if being stung, Gu Sixiao stared fixedly at the boy, but before he could react, someone in the crowd shouted: "No, I heard that the Gu family is leaving today! This world is really , even my own family can't care about this plaque, and there is such a little beggar protecting it - it's also because the Gu family used to give out porridge..."

The man hadn't finished his sentence yet, but someone rushed to talk: "You think the Gu family is a good person? This is all retribution! If it weren't for Gu Liubai's immoral thing, would the Gu family have become what they are now?"

With the chaos in his mind, Gu Sixiao, who was torn apart, struggled to get up, and followed the man carrying the plaque for a dozen steps in a daze, before turning around and running away as if he had just woken up from a dream.

Sister-in-law, are they leaving? !Where are you going?Didn't the eldest brother not even pass the top seven?Buried now?Why is my sister-in-law taking Brother Jing away?

With injuries on her body, Gu Sixiao couldn't run fast at all. When she arrived at the Gu family's mansion, she could only see a few carriages driving away from a distance.

"It's really a crime! The Gu family is really pitiful, his head was cut off, you didn't see it, it scared me to death - just sewed it on..."

"Don't talk about that scary thing, no matter what, it's safe to go to the ground. If you want me to say that the lady of the Gu family is pitiful! The officials are gone, and I don't have the face to live in Songjiang Mansion. I can only take the children with me Go to my mother's house..."

A few women with vegetable baskets gathered together and talked to each other, but Gu Sixiao felt more and more chilled when he heard it.

Can't stay any longer? !The shop is sold, the house is sold, even the old house is sold, and they have nothing left for the Gu family? !

"Don't go—don't go..." Clutching his stomach, Gu Sixiao chased after him, his mind was empty, and he just kept shouting.

do not go!Sister-in-law, don't go--

please don't leave me alone

After all, she still didn't catch up and knelt down on the official road. Gu Sixiao watched the carriages drive faster and faster, and finally disappeared from her sight, but she couldn't do anything.

Kneeling like that for a long time, almost being kicked by a passing horse, Gu Sixiao was still dazed, as if she had lost her mind.

"Little girl, it's raining..." Someone ran past and pushed her, but seeing that she was still, he covered his head and ran away quickly.

The rain drenched her whole body, Gu Sixiao raised her head, wiped off the rain on her face, stood up in a trance, stumbled, but instead of returning to the city, she turned to another road.
