Chapter 79: Selected
Gu Xiu felt that Gu Wang was talking about it in her heart. Why didn’t she know that this second brother was such a meticulous person?
Gu Xuan seemed to see Gu Xiu's thoughts, and approached Gu Xiu and whispered: "My second brother has always been enthusiastic and very good."
Gu Xiu looked at Ruan Zhi, not understanding why Ruan Zhi hated such a son.
"I'll tell you later."
Gu Xiu nodded. Now is not the time to talk about this.
Ruan Zhi was snatched by her biological son, and her face was even worse.
Gu Yan came to her, "Grandmother, there are not many ten gold beads, and my grandson also thinks that my second uncle's words make sense."
Ruan Zhi wanted to get angry, but looked at Gu Yan's cautious expression and didn't say anything more.
Gu Wang's words also made the rest of the Gu family realize that Gu Xiu was willing to tell them about her almost legendary advancement process and insights, and only collected ten golden beads, which was already very considerate of them.
They opened the storage bags one after another, took out the ten gold beads, and handed them to Gu Xiu.
Gu Xiu didn't hide her personal feelings, and told her entirely about the experience from refining her robes to suddenly advancing.
As for the insight, Gu Xiu thought for a while and said, "Just as the second uncle said, I am not able to get to know this time.
However, I had this opportunity because when I was refining the robes, I devoted myself to the best and strive for excellence. I remember that in the end, the feeling was very mysterious. Every magic formula and handprint on the robes was like throwing my own thoughts and beliefs into it.
The mind and mind are united, and the man and clothes are one. Perhaps it is this state of selflessness that gives me this great opportunity!"
After Gu Xiu finished speaking, the scene became quiet for a moment, and everyone silently recalled what Gu Xiu had just said.
Seeing this, Gu Xiu smiled faintly, stood up, and left with light steps.
Her state is not stable yet, and she still needs to be in seclusion for a while.
When everyone came to their senses, they wanted to find Gu Xiu to see what the velvet that helped her advance to the mid-stage stage of rejuvenation was like, but they did not expect that Gu Xiu's figure would have disappeared long ago.
When they rushed back to the yard, they found Gu Xu and Gu Huai and several elders sitting in the yard tasting tea and snacks. When they saw them, they waved their hands and said, "You all go back, Xiao Ba must have a stable state."
When everyone heard this, they had to return home in disappointment.
The time for retreat passed quickly.
It was the beginning of the second year when Gu Xiu stabilized his mid-stage state.
At the beginning of the year, the city lord's mansion sent someone to pick up the robes, and the one who came was Song Xiang, who had been here last time.
Gu Xiu handed Song Xiang the wooden box containing the robes.
Gu Xu, who was sitting next to him, looked at Song Xiang's movements with his eyes wide open. He thought Song Xiang would open the wooden box and look at the velvet. He would take this opportunity to see what the velvet that could be refined from the early stage of the velvet to the middle stage of the velvet in a short time. What does the velvet refined under such a great opportunity look like?
Last time, other juniors in the Gu family wanted to get a glimpse of the truth, but were stopped by Gu Xu on the ground that Gu Xiu wanted to stabilize the realm. At that time, Gu Xiu did need to stabilize the realm. More importantly, Gu Xu knew in his heart that this velvet was refined for Lord He City. If too many people knew the appearance and function of the velvet in advance, once it was passed on, it would not seem good.
But for this reason, he himself has never seen the true appearance of this robes.
Therefore, when the gatekeeper came to report to Senior Song from the City Lord's Mansion, he immediately invited Song Xiang to the main monastery, and asked Gu Xiu to bring the robes he had refined for City Lord He.
However, Song Xiang took the box handed over by Gu Xiu and put it in the storage bag, without any intention of opening it to see it.
Gu Xu couldn't help but remind him: "Uh, Miss Song, do you want to take a look first? If City Lord He doesn't like it, after all, there are other garment makers who have also refined velvets for the City Lord, and she may not choose this one made by Gu Xiu."
Song Xiang smiled and said, "Senior Gu, don't worry, I will take this velvet back to the city lord's mansion. The lord will choose it personally. If it is not selected, it will also be sold in the Xianbao Pavilion. So, please don't worry, this velvet will not be returned in any case.
As for the price, I have to take it back and show it to the city lord, and it will be up to her to decide."
Even if Song Xiang didn't say that, Gu Xiu knew that if the robes were attracted by City Lord He, the city lord would definitely not have few golden beads given by City Lord.
If City Lord He didn't like it and took it to Xianbao Pavilion for sale, he would have to estimate the price of the Xianbao Pavilion shopkeeper.
Judging from the dealings with the City Lord's Mansion before, although the City Lord's Mansion is powerful, it does not use its power to suppress others. So Gu Xiu is not worried that the City Lord's Mansion will not give her robes to Jinzhu. I believe that the City Lord's Mansion will not ruin its reputation for a robes.
Song Xiang said this, and Gu Xiu also expressed that he fully agreed to this arrangement. What else can Gu Xu do?
He could only watch Song Xiang leave with regretfulness with the unopened wooden box containing the robes.
How could Gu Xiu know that Gu Xu still has this idea?
After seeing off Song Xiang, she said goodbye to Gu Xu and Wu Yue.
After Gu Xiu left, Wu Yue couldn't help but look at Gu Xu, "I'm going to suffer even if I have to worry about my face, and I can't see the robes even if I have to do anything."
Gu Xu had no choice but to say directly that I wanted to see it, and let them open the box and show it to me. I... don't want to be face-saving?"
Wu Yue stood up and said, "You just want your face. I'm going to practice and I'm too lazy to tell you."
Gu Xu looked at his wife's back as he left, and sighed helplessly and regretfully.
The city lord's mansion was very fast. On the third day after Song Xiang took away the robe, Song Xiang came to the door again.
This time we still met at the main monastery because Gu Xu wanted to know the final result of the velvet.
Song Xiang smiled and said to Gu Xiu: "Congratulations, fellow Taoist Gu, your velvet was chosen by the city lord. She will wear the velvet you refined to attend the 5th thousandth birthday banquet of Mrs. Nuoling, the wife of the city lord of Shangcheng."
Song Xiang originally thought that Gu Xiu would be surprised when he heard this news. After all, Gu Xiu had a low cultivation level. Among the garment makers selected by City Lord He, they were the youngest, the lowest cultivation level, and the least experienced.
She probably wouldn't have thought that the robes she had refined would be chosen by the city lord.
However, when Gu Xiu heard the news, he just smiled slightly, "It is my honor to be able to see Lord He!"
Although I was very happy, my tone was calm and my attitude was generous and decent, and I didn't seem to be surprised by this result.
This surprised Song Xiang a little.
However, she was used to seeing the world when she followed Lord He. She was only slightly surprised for a moment and immediately said: "It was a robe made by fellow Daoist Gu. The robe of Yanliu Immortal Skirt is not only beautiful, but after the lord tried it on, it was very suitable. It was beautiful but not gorgeous, noble and generous. The formation runes on it were also very wonderful. The lord couldn't put it down, so he made a reservation on the spot and wore fellow Daoist Gu's robe of Yanliu Immortal Skirt to attend the birthday party."
Song Xiang sincerely praised.
