Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 91
In a blink of an eye, it is spring.

During these months, there was not much work in the workshop.Also because of the season, even if there are large merchants in Lingnan and Nanyang, they still don't have so much business after all.

During the whole winter, apart from working in the workshop, Gu Sixiao didn't even go out.

During the New Year, the workshop stopped working, and the flower manager returned home, and the fan workers who lived nearby also returned home.Only those who were invited back from Songjiang like Gu Sixiao remained in the workshop.

"Damn, if Su Dong's family doesn't invite my mother-in-law to work as a cook at the workshop this year, as they said last year, then I won't do it. Although I earn more than Songjiang Mansion, this is separated from the head of the family. , it's not something that people suffer..."

Wang Dali complained, but before he finished complaining, he was ridiculed.

"Let's just say that I miss my sister-in-law, and return to the head of the family?! It's okay to be like you. Although the two places are separated, there is always someone who thinks about it. Where is it like us? No one even thinks about it..."

A group of fan workers sat together, chatting and laughing, it was lively.

It's just that after talking about it, I leaned on the dirty talk.Gu Sixiao is a little girl from every family, so it would be inappropriate to listen to it any longer.

There was no other way, after eating, he turned back to his small courtyard.

Although Su Jingchun hadn't shown his face, he still took care of her.

She was the only woman in the workshop, so she was allocated a small courtyard directly.

There is even a stove in the back room, so it's not a problem if she just wants to boil water and cook by herself.

Unlike in the south, rice cakes and glutinous rice balls are eaten during the Chinese New Year. In Jinan, dumplings are eaten during the Chinese New Year.

Although they all mean reunion, but I always feel that there is no taste of the year without eating glutinous rice balls.

Gu Sixiao bought glutinous rice noodles by himself, made glutinous rice balls in the small inverted room, and took them out to share, just in time for Su Song to distribute red envelopes.

"The boss said, I will give each of the masters a red envelope, and I wish everyone a good fortune in the coming year-Master Gu, your red envelope."

After receiving the red envelope, Gu Sixiao also brought a bowl of glutinous rice balls to Su Song.

"Why didn't the master come over?" She had never seen Su Jingchun since she came to the workshop, and she didn't know what he was up to.

Could it be that he has been catching the man in black?I don't know if he was caught or not.

"Master Gu has missed it. My boss's house is busy with some things..."

Su Song accepted the glutinous rice balls with a smile, his expression normal, but Gu Sixiao was sensitive to the fact that he was holding the glutinous rice balls with his left hand.

Her eyes flickered, she stared at Su Song's right hand.I don't know if he noticed it, Su Song turned around with a smile, and was bumped into by Wang Dali who was pushing over by no coincidence.

With a muffled snort, Su Song still had a smile on his face, but his forehead was already sweating.

"Su Guanshi," Gu Sixiao called out politely, and took a step forward, just in time to see his right arm, which was hit by Wang Dali just now, oozing a little red.

Su Song was injured!
She was slightly startled, and when she wanted to take a closer look, Su Song turned around as if nothing had happened.

He smiled and said a few auspicious words to everyone, Su Song didn't say anything else, he bowed his hands and said goodbye.

After that, let alone Su Jingchun, Gu Sixiao hadn't even seen the people around him.

After the Chinese New Year was over and Manager Hua went to work, she accidentally heard that during the Chinese New Year this year, the boss did not come to congratulate in person like in previous years, but asked a few elders around him to distribute red envelopes.

Although Guanshi Hua just said that inadvertently, Gu Sixiao paid attention.

Although she didn't know what happened to Su Jingchun, Gu Sixiao vaguely felt that it must have something to do with the masked man in black.

Her heart was churning. At one moment, she hoped that Su Jingchun would kill the man in black, but at the same time she was afraid that the man in black would die just like that, and she would never be able to find the mastermind behind it.

After suffering so much, she finally saw Su Jingchun in the workshop when the spring solstice arrived.

Suppressing all the feelings in her heart, she only stepped forward to say hello in a low voice.

Su Jingchun was still polite, and asked with a smile, "Master Gu, is he still used to it?"

But after not seeing each other for a few months, the little girl he brought back has grown into a big girl.

Perhaps she hadn't noticed it yet, but when he saw it so suddenly, he was surprised that the girl had grown a lot taller.

Slim and graceful, with picturesque features, standing in front of him, she looked like a lady from a great family, generous and decent, not at all petty, if he hadn't known her background early in the morning, he might have thought she was the daughter of some family.

Thinking of the fan pendant he had seen on her before, Su Jingchun's heart moved slightly, but he didn't say anything first, he just looked at Gu Sixiao and said warmly: "A batch of bamboo will be shipped in the day after tomorrow, and Master Gu will inspect it together with Guanshi Hua. .”

Although there are bamboos in Jinan, they are different from the bamboos in the south, and they have never been able to grow so luxuriantly.Therefore, Su Ji buys back a large amount of bamboo from the south every year, which invisibly adds another cost to the cost.

It is the responsibility of the fan master to inspect and accept the raw materials, Gu Sixiao nodded and said nothing.

Peeking at Su Jingchun, although he didn't find anything wrong with him, but for some reason, the more Gu Sixiao looked at him, the more he felt his face turned pale.

I suspected that he might have been injured like Su Song, that's why he didn't show his face on any occasion this New Year.

It's just that it's not easy to ask.

She was thinking about how to ask this question in her mind, Su Jingchun had already smiled and took a letter from Su Zhu's hand behind her.

"By the way, here is a letter from Daxiying, which was delivered by the post."

In Daxiying, her heart skipped a beat, Gu Sixiao wished she could open it immediately, but finally suppressed her eagerness and put the letter into her arms.

"Boss, there is one more thing I want to trouble you..." Taking the fan pendant out of her purse, Gu Sixiao hesitated again and again, but still begged: "Although I don't know if I can find it, but please ask my boss to help me." If that senior official Xue can help me find my relatives, I will definitely repay my gratitude."

"It was my negligence, and I actually forgot about it." Su Jingchun smiled and nodded in response, but suddenly covered his face and coughed heavily.

Gu Sixiao's sharp eyes caught a glimpse of two stars of blood foam sticking to the veil he put away.

Is this an internal injury? !
Sun Tiancang was like this before, although he looked better on the outside, he still coughed from time to time, and sometimes coughed up blood.

I heard that if you get an internal injury, you need to take good care of it to get better.

Seeing Gu Sixiao staring at him, Su Jingchun smiled, retracted his hand tucking in the veil, and smiled nonchalantly: "Spring is dry..."

Is this a dry issue?In this case, it is okay to coax a child, but use it to coax her?

Gu Sixiao pursed her lips, and really couldn't think of how she should ask that question in a side-effect.

He could only ask straightforwardly: "Boss, have you caught the murderer who killed Big Brother An?"

Frowning, and staring at Gu Sixiao without a trace, Su Jingchun said: "I heard that the effect of killing the bandits is not bad, maybe the villain is already dead!"

"Boss," Gu Sixiao said in a deep voice, "I know my boss may think I'm weird, a little lady asking these things indiscriminately. But, I heard from my brother that Brother An said before he died. He knew the masked man in black, and he also said that he was the subordinate of his master's enemy—the boss, Brother An's master, isn't that the one? Could the man in black still come to trouble the Su family? Woolen cloth?"

Speaking so bluntly, Su Jingchun couldn't be more perfunctory.

Looking at Gu Sixiao, Su Jingchun stopped smiling, "Master Gu, I know that you have traveled with Commander An all the way, and you also have some friendship, but there are some things that you, a little lady, should not ask or take care of. Whether your brother or you What did you say, you'd better pretend that you didn't hear it - don't ask me about this matter again..."

Seeing that Su Jingchun stood up and was about to leave, Gu Sixiao stood up suddenly, "Boss, I still have something to tell you..."

Su Jingchun turned his head and didn't ask any questions, just looked at her quietly.

Gu Sixiao gritted her teeth, and said in a deep voice, "Please ask my master to back off."

Raising his eyebrows, Su Jingchun burst out laughing. At first he thought it was ridiculous, but seeing Gu Sixiao's insistence, he had to wave his hand.

Guanshi Hua, who had been by the side all the time, immediately backed out, Su Song and Su Zhu went to the door, one went out, the other stayed behind and closed the door.

It turned out that one person was in the door and the other was outside, just waiting.

Gu Sixiao wanted Su Zhu to go out too, but Su Jingchun had already said: "Master Gu, if you have something to say, just say it, they have been with me for many years, there is nothing to avoid."

Biting her lip, Gu Sixiao closed her eyes, and finally said, "I've seen that man in black!"

As soon as these words were said, Su Jingchun's eyes widened.

Without avoiding his gaze, Gu Sixiao said in a deep voice: "My boss also knows that I am an orphan. Just the year before last, I lived with my elder brother in the ruined temple..." Although I couldn't say who I was, I was half-true. Half-fake nonsense can still fool people, right?
"That night, I watched the man in black kill the little lady, just like killing Brother An - after a few days, I heard that the little lady had eloped with someone - obviously, the body was all killed Buried..."

With trembling lips, she took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "That man in black is not a good person! I don't want my boss to be harmed by him, so I want to inquire about it, even though I'm just a weak woman, But I also hope to be a helper to my club.”

"Is that so—Master Gu has never told anyone about this?" Su Jingchun asked lightly, and when Gu Sixiao shook his head, he nodded.

"Okay, I already know about this, I will be careful, Master Gu, don't worry."

"Then, behind that man in black, there is a mastermind behind the scenes, I'm afraid..."

Gu Sixiao wanted to ask again, but Su Jingchun was already smiling and waving, "Master Gu, go down first! I still have some things to do, so I won't keep you."

But she hasn't asked anything yet!I was a little annoyed, but I could only keep silent.Gu Sixiao turned around and went out, but couldn't help but still looked back at Su Jingchun.

Su Jingchun didn't seem to notice, just lowered his head and picked up the teacup.

With no choice but to leave, Gu Sixiao had no choice but to leave.

As soon as she went out, Su Jingchun asked in a low voice: "Su Zhu, do you think what she said is true?!"
