Chapter 101: Repaying the favor of saving my life with my own body
"Fourth brother, do you think Third Sister-in-law will welcome me?"
After hearing what Gu Chongshan said, Gu Chuan and Gu Xiang came to find Gu Yan and Li Wanqing today.
“Probably not, but don’t listen to Dad and come here every day.
I think my third sister-in-law won't get bored if she comes every ten days or half a month." Gu Chuan thought for a moment and said.
"Well, I like Third Sister-in-law too. She knows a lot of things that I don't know.
"I saw my third sister-in-law drying some medicinal herbs last time. They looked like ordinary tree roots to me, but she said they were medicinal herbs," said Gu Xiang.
"Don't ask Third Sister-in-law about anything, especially about medicinal herbs. You should know your limits in front of her," Gu Chuan advised.
"I know, I'm just helping my third sister-in-law with the work. I won't say anything else." Gu Xiang said.
When the brother and sister arrived, Gu Yan was preparing to take Li Wanqing out to play and see if there were any foxes or anything.
Li Wanqing made a fur coat out of the original fox fur, which was both beautiful and warm to wear.
Li Wanqing liked it very much. Seeing that his wife looked very beautiful in it, Gu Yan wanted to go and take a look and kill a few foxes to make a cloak for Li Wanqing.
"Third brother, third sister-in-law, we are here. Where are you going?" Gu Xiang asked the two people who were dressed neatly.
Gu Yan and Li Wanqing were also surprised by their arrival.
"Why are you here?" Gu Yan was surprised.
"Let's go inside." Since a guest had arrived, the two of them naturally went out. Li Wanqing then opened the locked door again.
"What's the matter with you guys coming here?" Gu Yan was unhappy that his date with his wife was interrupted by two people.
Gu Bei saw that his third brother looked unhappy, and after thinking for a long time he still couldn't figure out where he had offended him.
Since I can’t think of it, forget it. Anyway, Third Brother has treated them like this since they were young.
He didn't care about his third brother Gu Yan, and only said to Li Wanqing: "Third sister-in-law, I'm getting married on October 20th. You and third brother should go back then."
"Really? You're getting married? That's good news, right? Don't worry, we will definitely go back then." Li Wanqing said with a smile.
"Which girl are you going to marry? Have you seen her?" Li Wanqing asked curiously again.
"Yes, I have. To be honest, Sister-in-law, I chose Cuifang myself. When I went to the town, I happened to help her drive away the thugs who were harassing her." Gu Chuan said.
"Oh, this is a hero saving a damsel in distress. How does the saying go? A hero should repay a damsel in distress with his life." Li Wanqing didn't expect it to be like this.
And what Li Wanqing said was not wrong. Although this could not be considered a life-saving favor, it was not far off. After all, in ancient times, reputation was sometimes more important than life.
Gu Chuan felt a little embarrassed after being teased by his sister-in-law. He scratched his hair and said embarrassedly, "It's not as serious as saving my life."
"How can it not be serious? How important is reputation to a woman? But this is also the fate between you two.
By the way, are all the things needed for the wedding ready? If you need any help, just let me know. "Li Wanqing said generously.
She knew that Gu Yan didn't have a deep relationship with his brothers and sisters, and she wouldn't do anything on her own initiative.
But she felt that the fourth brother had a good temper, at least he was not confused.
She felt that it was okay to be a little closer to the fourth brother. After all, it was impossible for a person to have no relatives or friends. Otherwise, if something really happened, there would be no one to help.
Not to mention good friends, it is not easy to see outsiders in these mountains.
However, if your brothers and sisters at home have good personalities, you can still try to interact with them.
Even if you are not particularly close, it is better to have some give and take.
And Gu Chuan was exactly the person she thought was good and worth interacting with.
Of course, this is also because although Gu Yan is not close to his younger brother Gu Chuan, he does not dislike him either.
If he were someone like Gu Bei, Li Wanqing wouldn't want to have anything to do with him.
"I have something to ask my third brother. Dad told me to go to the mountains these few days to see if there are any rare prey. If I find any rare prey, it will be nice to see when I go to propose marriage.
There is also meat to be used for the wedding, so I would like to trouble my third brother to go with me to see if we can hunt a wild boar.
This way the banquet will look better." Gu Chuan said.
"Okay, that's no big deal, let your third brother go with you.
"Please prepare the pig's offal in advance and send it to me. I'll prepare some cold dishes for you on the wedding day." Li Wanqing simply offered to help him to the end. She immediately asked to make him some braised food.
When Gu Chuan heard this, he quickly thanked her: "I thank my sister-in-law. With your help, my wedding banquet will definitely be a great occasion."
Li Wanqing smiled but said nothing. Instead, Gu Yan stood up and said, "Let's go. Don't you want to go look for some rare finds? I also want to hunt a few foxes to make a cloak for your sister-in-law."
Gu Yan took Gu Chuan away, leaving only Gu Xiang and Li Wanqing at home.
The two of them couldn't just sit there staring at each other, so Li Wanqing took out all the scraps of cloth and made shoe uppers for Gu Yan and herself.
Gu Xiang also came over to help.
"Third sister-in-law, these pieces of cloth are really good. New cloth is the strongest for making shoes.
"Oh, there's purple here, it's a really pretty color. Wow, there's pink here, the blue is pretty too, this is green..." Gu Xiang exclaimed in amazement as she looked at the scraps of cloth that Li Wanqing took out.
It was just some scraps of cloth, and Li Wanqing didn't take it seriously. But now seeing Gu Xiang looking as if she had seen a treasure, she realized that these scraps of cloth were also good things.
"If you like, just pick a few pieces. These are gifts from the cloth shop and are not worth much." Li Wanqing said generously.
"You really want me to choose?" Gu Xiang took a piece of pink cloth and rubbed it lovingly.
"Really, take your pick, go back and make yourself shoes or handkerchiefs.
Oh, and you can also make hair ornaments. I remember there are some made of silk and gauze. Wait, I'll get them for you." Li Wanqing wasn't a stingy person. She wouldn't be reluctant to part with a few scraps of cloth given by the cloth shop.
Li Wanqing took out another bag of cloth scraps from the cabinet. This bag of cloth scraps was given to her by the cloth shop when she was in the provincial capital.
There were silks, satins, and gauze inside, but she couldn't use them for the time being, so she put them at the bottom of the box.
This time I suddenly thought of it. Silk and satin are not wear-resistant when used as shoe uppers, but they look very beautiful when used as hair ornaments and hairbands.
Gu Xiang saw Li Wanqing take out another big bag and couldn't help but be amazed. How much cloth did the third sister-in-law buy to get so much cloth from the cloth shop?
She also went with her mother to Buzhuang to buy cloth, but the cloth shop didn't give her an inch of cloth.
Although she thought so in her heart, Gu Xiang didn't say it out loud. She was also sensible and was afraid that Li Wanqing would not like it if she said too much.
Li Wanqing opened the bundle and did not let Gu Xiang choose. Instead, she picked out a few pieces of pink color from it.
Then he tied the bundle again and put it back in the cabinet.
"What do you think of these colors? Pink is just right for a little girl like you." Li Wanqing gestured at Gu Xiang's head while holding the cloth.
