Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 75
Feeling frightened, Gu Sixiao didn't dare to look around, but just lowered her head and looked at her toes.

Fortunately, Yu Cui has a good eye, so there is no need for her to come forward to serve the wine during the banquet.

After the banquet, although Shang Wu didn't talk much at all, with Gu Yong's fawning and Aunt Liu's jokes, it was barely enough for the host and guest to enjoy themselves.

Gu Yong accompanied him with a smile, and personally sent Shang Wu out, but Aunt Liu still didn't leave, holding the wine glass, one after another, as if she wanted to drink enough.

"Auntie," Yucui called in a low voice, with tears in her eyes, "Auntie feels the pain so bad?"

Touching her face, Aunt Liu giggled, raised her eyes, her eyes were blurred, but she had already drunk too much, "It doesn't hurt! What hurts so much? With Gu Yong's strength, how heavy can a slap be?"

He really drank too much, so he called Gu Yong directly.

Gu Sixiao stared at Aunt Liu, although she still couldn't see where she was beaten, she thought in her heart: No wonder she had to apply such thick powder.

It turned out that it was not Aunt Liu who was willing to come and sing along with the wine, but was beaten by Gu Yong.

"It's not a big deal!" Aunt Liu giggled and stood up with her wine glass in her hand, "Your aunt and I have suffered much more than this before! Let me tell you, what is this! Isn't it Is it a song? Isn’t it just drinking with a man? What is it! It’s not like I haven’t done it before..."

With two hehes, she tilted her head, leaned on the railing, turned her head and smiled and said, "It's just that I thought that after entering Gu's house, such things would never happen again. But I didn't expect that after so many years, it turned out to be still the same. You have to go back to your old business—it turns out that being someone else's concubine is no different from being a secret agent!"

Laughing loudly, Aunt Liu patted the railing, pointed at the moon above her head and cursed: "Gu Yong, you are a bastard! So what about Mr. Bashang Wangsun? You fucking want to give your own woman to me!" What's the use of living when others sleep!"

"Auntie..." Yucui called out, looking around timidly.

My aunt used to get drunk too often, but it was in her own house.Now……

Staring at Gu Sixiao, she said in a deep voice: "Hua'er, don't talk nonsense! You know? If you talk nonsense, our aunt wants to deal with you, it's as simple as strangling an ant to death."

Gu Sixiao blinked, ignored her, turned around and left.

After walking a few steps, Yu Cui heard a scream.

Looking back in a hurry, Aunt Liu who was half sitting on the railing had disappeared.

Startled, Gu Sixiao rushed over to take a look, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

The lakeside water was shallow, Aunt Liu fell down, but she had already stood up again.

The water only reached her chest, but she didn't get submerged, she just stood in the water giggling and giggling.

Shaking his head, Gu Sixiao couldn't pretend not to see it anymore, and pulled him up together with Yucui.

He deliberately took a blanket from the back study and wrapped it around Aunt Liu who was shaking all the time.

Because of this, Yu Cui was kind to her.

"That Mr. Shang, I heard that he is a man of great background. The officials said that even the magistrate of the county is trying to curry favor with him!"

The magistrate also pleases?No wonder Gu Yong is so concerned.

After falling into the water and getting drunk, Aunt Liu couldn't even stand upright, let alone walk.

There was no other way, so Gu Sixiao and Yucui had no choice but to send them back to Muchun Courtyard with one person on each side.

Just after entering the door of Muchun Courtyard, I heard loud laughter coming from Aunt Hu's room in the west wing.

Hearing the voice, it was Gu Yong.

Gu Yong, who was going to see Shang Wu off just now, went directly back to Muchun Courtyard, and even entered Hu Wanwan's room. Perhaps, he had long forgotten about Aunt Liu who was still in the backyard, right?
Obviously, the person was already leaning on Yu Cui's shoulder, seemingly asleep, but at this time, Aunt Liu moved slightly, but instead of raising her head, she buried her face even more.

Yu Cui had a strange expression on her face, she looked down at Aunt Liu with some sympathy.

Are you crying?Gu Sixiao looked away, pretending not to see it.

After helping Aunt Liu settle down, she left the room.

At the door of the next room, Caiyi poked her head out, met Gu Sixiao's gaze, and closed the door with a "touch".

Gu Sixiao, who was planning to say hello, closed her mouth in embarrassment, shook her head, but let out a low sigh.

Caiyi was really getting thinner and thinner, with no flesh on her face and skinny body, except for a big belly, there seemed to be no half a catty of flesh in her whole body.There was no smile on his face, and he looked so scary.

However, this is her own choice, whether others sympathize with it or disagree with it is irrelevant.

"Wait a minute..." Gu Sixiao turned her head when she heard the voice behind her.

Although not familiar with her, she recognized Hu Wanwan's girl Linghua at a glance.

I haven't dealt with her before, but Gu Sixiao has heard a lot about Linghua.

After returning the gift, Gu Sixiao smiled brightly, and Linghua, who saw the same smile like a flower, couldn't help squinting her eyes.

"Your younger sister is called Hua'er, right? I've heard that there is a little fairy-like younger sister hiding in the back study, and I have seen it today."

This mouth is so sweet!
Gu Sixiao pinched the corner of her clothes, as if embarrassed, "I don't dare to be, I'm just a girl who has never seen the world, how can I be worthy of what my sister said?"

"It's worth it, it's worth it," said in a voice, Linghua smiled and held Gu Sixiao, "How is Aunt Liu? I just looked at her in a bad way! Is it because I drank too much wine? My master I kept it in my heart, and asked me to go out and ask."

"It's nothing, it's just that I drank too much wine." Gu Sixiao smiled and didn't say anything about Aunt Liu's falling into the water.

Regardless of whether she jumped into the water on purpose or accidentally, it's not a good thing, and if people remember it, there will be more right and wrong.

Linghua's eyes flickered, and she lowered her voice, "Our aunt only cares about Aunt Liu. After all, they all live in the same yard, and our aunt also wishes for Aunt Liu's well--my aunt said that she hurts her kind... "

He couldn't help but look up at the west wing where the lights were on.

In the window, there are vague figures, a man and a woman can be vaguely seen, and they don't know what they are talking about, but the two are very close.

Hu Wanwan really said this?Things hurt their kind!If you really think so, then Hu Wanwan has a heart.It's just that she is just doting on her, and even though Gu Yong is ruthless and ungrateful, at this time he is very obedient to her, and he is very doting on her.

With such a girl, would things hurt other people? !

She was suspicious in her heart, but Gu Sixiao didn't show it on her face, she just smiled and praised: "Aunt Hu is a kind person."

"Our aunt has always been soft-hearted, especially for children. She likes it very much. It's a pity that she has a weak body, and I'm afraid it's because of children..."

As if she had slipped her tongue, Linghua turned her face away to cover up, and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

Gu Sixiao blinked, a little strange why Linghua said these words to her?
Besides, on the surface, this Linghua only came to Gu's house and knew Hu Wanwan. Now that you seem to know her so well, didn't you think that you showed your flaws?

It's just that such doubts can only be hidden in my heart.After that, Gu Sixiao didn't say a word about Linghua to anyone.

Two days later, she entrusted Sun Tiancang to inquire about Shang Wu. Originally, she wanted to send two fans to her, but it was considered to be repaying Shang Wu for not breaking her favor.

But he didn't want Sun Tiancang to come back with a message. Shang Wu, who originally lived in the Maosong Inn, had already left Songjiang.

When he left, he didn't leave a single word, no matter who he was, he didn't know where he went.

When Sun Tiancang went to look for him, there were still a few scholars who came to the door with a letter of worship, wanting to visit Shang Wu, but in the end they returned disappointed.

"I heard that the official was in Songjiang for a few months, and he was very convinced by those scholars! He was so talented, oh, yes, I heard that the man seemed to be close to the county magistrate, and some people even met the county magistrate. Grandfather invited him to drink in Linfenglou!"

Linfenglou?The largest restaurant in Songjiang.

Thinking of what Yucui said, Gu Sixiao couldn't help laughing.

It seems that Mr. Shang is really a character.However, no matter how big a person is, he is just a passer-by in Songjiang, who comes and leaves in a hurry, and will be completely forgotten within a few months.

After a few days, Gu Sixiao also put aside this matter.A few days later, Gu Yong, who had been sighing for several days after Shang Wu left, had a new confidant again, and often went out to visit friends with a newly made fan.

It's just that Gu Sixiao didn't like the fans she painted being taken out by Gu Yong to sell favors like this, so she asked the master to say that it was not easy to draw fans, so she was only willing to send out some white paper fans without fans.

Fortunately, as a literati, everyone loves to be arty, so it's fun to paint fans by yourself, and Gu Yong didn't criticize Gu Shitou because of this.

In this way, the days passed quietly, without wind or waves, and it was midsummer in a blink of an eye.

During the period, Gu Sixiao also asked Sun Tiancang to help her sell a few fans. Although they never sold at a high price of 50 taels, the price was much higher than those fans sold on the ordinary street.

Gu Sixiao didn't expect her fans to be sold at a high price either. Firstly, they were not handcrafted by masters, and secondly, they didn't have a decent shop, so they couldn't sell them at a high price even if they wanted to.But she would never be reconciled if it was sold cheaply.If you are a good seller, if you can't see the benefits of her fan, you can't bear to buy her fan for ten taels of silver.

Because of this, she didn't sell many folding fans in one summer.Moreover, at this time, she was learning how to make round fans, so she was much less interested in making folding fans.

It's a pity that Sun Tiancang is a man, no matter how well-connected he is, he can't help Gu Sixiao sell tuanfans.For nothing, the women of the Gu family were taken advantage of. First, Gu Yong sold favors, and later, Mrs. Zhang took the initiative to call Gu Sixiao over, bluntly asking her to tailor new fans for the two young ladies.

Women are born to like beautiful things, and in the backyard of a boudoir, they can like a lot less things than men.Apart from jewelry and clothes, I really like round fans the most.

Hold a round fan in your hand, half cover your jade face, shy and coquettish, happy or angry, crying or laughing, this round fan becomes the best prop.

It is also because of this that compared with more elegant folding fans, tuanfan is more gorgeous and beautiful.Not to mention Mrs. Zhang and others, even the little girl in the mansion is eager to get a new fan from Gu Sixiao.Throughout the summer, she became a busy person in the Gu family.

In this way, a busy summer has passed.Gradually, it's autumn...
