How is that possible?
The woman who used to swoon over me could actually say she didn't like me.
Lu Yanzhao scoffed inwardly. Playing hard to get?
Even when playing hard to get, there's a limit. If you go too far, it might backfire.
"Big brother," Lu Xiaomei called out to Lu Yanzhao, who was standing motionless in front of the door.
Lu Yanzhao's thoughts were pulled back. He gave Gu Nanjiao a meaningful look before leaving.
Gu Nanjiao didn't turn around when she heard the voice. She didn't care whether Lu Yanzhao heard her or not; she was just stating a fact.
The pickled radishes released a lot of water. Squeeze out the water and arrange the radishes one by one. Prepare for a day of drying.
The weather was nice today, and Gu Nanjiao still planned to go to town to take a look.
After all, there are too many things to buy, such as toilet paper.
Gu Nanjiao hadn't gone far when she heard someone calling her.
She looked back and saw an oxcart slowly approaching, with two or three women sitting on it.
She recognized the person who called her; it was Zhang San's wife, Zhang Liu, whose real name was Liu Meihua.
Liu Meihua is a woman of few words and has a somewhat gentle personality.
So, why did he become familiar with Gu Nanjiao?
The original Gu Nanjiao was domineering and unreasonable, and few people in the village could talk to her.
Liu Meihua was a woman of few words and didn't know many people. The two of them met by chance, and their gentle and firm nature made them get along very well.
Liu said, "Come on up, I'll give you a ride."
Gu Nanjiao didn't hesitate and got into the car directly.
The women chattered incessantly along the way, truly embodying the saying "three women make a drama."
Some people discussed their mothers-in-law, others discussed their children, and some even discussed men's sexual prowess.
Listening to their discussion, Gu Nanjiao felt her ears burning.
"Oh, Mrs. Lu, your Lu Yanzhao looks tall and strong, is he also very capable?" The speaker was a very thin woman with high cheekbones and dark skin.
Gu Nanjiao...
"Oh dear, aren't you deliberately trying to embarrass them by asking that? Everyone in the village knows they sleep separately." Before Gu Nanjiao could answer, a slightly plump woman preemptively replied.
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry." The thinner woman apologized hastily, but she couldn't hide the schadenfreude in her eyes.
Gu Nanjiao rolled her eyes and ignored her.
He didn't know how powerful Lu Yanzhao was, but that kick yesterday was quite powerful. He wondered if he could still do it in the future.
The fat woman was quite surprised to see Gu Nanjiao remain silent. What surprised her was that Gu Nanjiao didn't start pinching her like a madwoman.
We won't be able to enjoy the excitement.
After this little episode, the chatter continued unabated, while Liu and Gu Nanjiao remained silent the entire way.
Upon arriving at the town entrance, Gu Nanjiao got out of the car. Liu Shi said, "We'll be back before dark, and we'll wait for you here then."
Luojia Town didn't look very big, but it had quite a few shops. Gu Nanjiao asked around to find out where she could buy paper.
Gu Nanjiao found a shop called Shangzhixuan, which looked pretty good, so she went inside.
There is high-quality Xuan paper, and there is also the lowest quality yellow rough paper.
She only learned when she bought paper that the usage and quantity of paper in ancient times were very particular.
In addition, there are regulations regarding the paper used for toileting. Paper with writing on it is absolutely prohibited, even if it is already scrapped.
Because the ancients had a tradition of respecting and cherishing written paper, and also believed that paper with writing on it could ward off evil spirits, simply put, wiping one's bottom with paper with writing on it was considered uncivilized.
No wonder Lu Yanzhao looked like he wanted to kill him. He didn't know much about ancient culture and made such a big blunder.
Gu Nanjiao bought a lot of rough yellow paper for her own use. Feeling guilty, she also bought some raw Xuan paper for Lu Yanzhao to use for writing.
But when it came time to pay, her heart ached terribly; the two types of paper had cost her three taels of silver.
Holding the paper she had bought, she first went into a clothing store.
A young woman was arranging fabrics. When she saw Gu Nanjiao enter, she quickly put down what she was doing and greeted her warmly, "Madam, what would you like? Please feel free to look around inside."
Gu Nanjiao glanced around; most of the clothes in the shop were dark blue, white, and red. They weren't as beautiful as the ancient costumes she had imagined.
She lowered her eyes in disappointment, and the proprietress immediately stepped forward: "Madam, don't you have anything you like?"
Seeing how enthusiastic the shop owner was, Gu Nanjiao couldn't help but ask, "Are the clothes in your shop designs by yourself?"
When the proprietress heard her ask this, she immediately patted her chest and said, "Of course! If you like any piece of fabric, I can make it to your measurements. If you have a good design, just give me the pattern and I can make it for you too."
Upon hearing the landlady's words, a bold idea immediately flashed into Gu Nanjiao's mind.
During her university years, she majored in design. At that time, a Hanfu craze swept the country, and everyone was advocating wearing Hanfu. Gu Nanjiao took this opportunity to create her own Hanfu brand, "Nanjiao Dream".
Perhaps...
Thinking of this, Gu Nan smiled and said to the proprietress, "Proprietress, I have some novel garment patterns at home, but I forgot to bring them today. Could you lend me your paper and pen so I can draw one on the spot?"
Upon hearing Gu Nanjiao's words, the proprietress immediately turned around, walked to the counter, picked up paper and pen, and said with a smile, "Please draw."
In no time, Gu Nanjiao had drawn the design of a modern period costume.
The shop owner was amazed; both the design and the elements were very unique. It caught her eye and made her eyes light up.
Seeing the proprietress's appearance, Gu Nanjiao felt a surge of excitement: "How is it, proprietress, can you make it?"
"Don't worry, I guarantee I'll make it for you," the proprietress assured her.
The proprietress took Gu Nanjiao's measurements, and the two chatted more and more enthusiastically.
Gu Nanjiao then learned that the woman in front of her was named Lü Siniang. Her husband had died two years ago, leaving her and her child behind. Fortunately, her family owned a shop, and she had also learned to make clothes, so life wasn't too difficult.
After leaving the clothing shop, Gu Nanjiao wandered aimlessly around the town, and before she knew it, she had arrived at the entrance of Nanfeng Academy.
Looking at the large characters of Nanfeng Academy, Gu Nanjiao fell into deep thought.
I wonder how Lu Yanzhao's injury is?
His fever had just subsided last night, yet he rushed to the academy today, and he'll be heading home this evening. Gu Nanjiao truly admired him.
It was lunchtime, and the students walked out of Nanfeng Academy in groups.
Gu Nanjiao spotted Lu Yanzhao immediately. He was walking quickly, avoiding groups of students, and turned to walk towards a teahouse on his right.
