Gu Jinyun and Qi Surong finally found a village to stay before the sun went down.
They lied to the villagers that they were a couple, but the carriage lost control during the journey and unfortunately fell into the river. They wanted to stay in the village for a night and return to the city tomorrow. They didn't know how far they were carried by the river, and some of them couldn't tell their direction. Fortunately, there are villagers who can guide me. I will pick up a bullock cart with the villagers tomorrow and we should be able to return to the city smoothly.
The villagers were warm and simple, and they arranged accommodation for them without saying a word. The hostess of the house where they stayed brought them a change of clothes. Gu Jinyun gave some silver coins, and the hostess smiled like a flower: "People in the city are very generous. At first glance, you look like children from a wealthy family. You look good and speak nicely."
"Thank you, ma'am." Qi Surong took the clothes and said thank you.
"No, no need." The hostess waved her hands repeatedly, "These clothes may be a bit crude. I wonder if you are used to wearing them?"
Qi Surong smiled and said: "Auntie, don't think of us as dignitaries. We all grew up eating whole grains. How can we be so particular?"
Upon hearing this, the hostess felt relieved and patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, these clothes are all new and no one has worn them. You guys have a rest first and I'll heat up some dishes for you."
"Thank you."
After sending the hostess away, Qi Surong glanced at Gu Jinyun: "Don't be so cold-faced, you almost scared people."
Gu Jinyun pursed his lips, seeming to adjust his expression.
Qi Surong snickered and handed him the men's clothes: "Here, put it on quickly."
With that said, he picked up his suit again.
Suddenly, she made a movement and touched her clothes with her fingers. The style of this dress is indeed very simple, but the material is somewhat special. The texture is fine, the hand feels soft, and the textile technology is extraordinary.
"What?" Gu Jinyun couldn't help but ask when he saw her holding the clothes in a daze.
"Oh, it's okay." Qi Surong came back to his senses, looked up inadvertently, and saw that Gu Jinyun had taken off his shirt, leaving his upper body bare. Those strong muscles were full of strength, which made Qi Surong blush and her heart beat.
"You, why did you change in front of me?" she stammered.
"You didn't let me leave." Gu Jinyun answered matter-of-factly, showing off his strong figure unscrupulously, as if he had no intention of putting on clothes.
Qi Surong silently pointed to the small dark room next to her and motioned for him to change there.
Gu Jinyun didn't seem to notice, and started to unbuckle Qi Surong's belt.
"Wait!" Qi Surong stopped him quickly, picked up his clothes and covered him, then pushed his back toward the small dark room.
Gu Jinyun followed her intention and took two steps, then suddenly stabilized his lower body and stayed in place.
Qi Surong didn't notice and bumped into his back.
"Hey." His forehead hit his spine, causing a burst of pain.
"Are you okay?" Gu Jinyun turned around and leaned over.
Qi Surong leaned back slightly, looking through the gaps between her fingers, she could clearly see his eyelashes.
Gu Jinyun saw her looking at him furtively, she was so cute and charming, he couldn't help but feel agitated in his heart, and his eyes gradually heated up.
Feeling that something was wrong in the atmosphere, Qi Surong took a few steps back, turned around and said, "Go and change your clothes quickly. I want to change too. If you wear wet clothes for a long time, you will catch a cold."
"Okay." Gu Jinyun's voice rang in her ears, and she immediately stepped away and entered the small dark room.
Qi Surong covered her chest and breathed secretly.
There was only a curtain separating the next hut from this room. Qi Surong reminded: "I didn't call you, so don't come out."
"Hmm." There was a gentle response from inside.
Qi Surong raised her hand to pull up her hair, and took off her wet clothes neatly.
The whole body is naked, the skin is white and jade, the shoulders are narrow and the hips are wide, the waist is not full, the body is delicate and the bones are even, and the posture is graceful.
When Qi Surong looked through the clothes, she found that the lady didn't prepare a bellyband for her, and her cheeks couldn't help but turn red. She was too embarrassed to bother her anymore, so she had to wrap herself up in her inner clothes, with her breasts standing upright, and through her collar, her breasts/ The ditch is looming.
At this moment, a pair of arms stretched out from behind and encircled her completely.
The collar is wrinkled and open to the outside, and the breasts are half exposed. Looking down from above, it is quite a sight.
Qi Surong quickly tightened his collar and said angrily: "Why did you come out! I, I..."
"I want to hug you." Gu Jinyun's hot breath touched her neck.
"You..." Qi Surong's body trembled slightly. She once told herself that no matter what this man wanted, she would give it to him without any regrets. However, now is not a good time, can you bear it
Gu Jinyun lowered his head and rubbed Qi Surong's face. His warm palms were placed under her breasts, and his fingers were moving vaguely.
"You, your heartbeat is very fast."
nonsense! Can it be unpleasant to be held by a man who is in heat
Qi Surong was frozen and did not dare to move.
Seeing that he was not moving, Gu Jinyun became more and more aggressive, and his fingers tended to explore inside the clothes.
As a masculine man in his twenties, how can he not be chaotic when his sweetheart is in his arms
Qi Surong took a deep breath, raised her foot and stepped hard on his instep.
Gu Jinyun made a movement, slowly let go of his hand, slowly stepped away, and slowly sat on the bed, with a solemn expression, looking at Qi Surong motionless.
Qi Surong glanced at him and said, "If it hurts, just hum. I won't laugh at you."
"Hmph." Gu Jinyun snorted from his nose.
Qi Surong turned away and tried hard to hold back his smile.
She didn't care about it anymore, quickly got dressed and put on her belt. Let your hair down and comb it briefly with a comb.
Even though she was dressed in a simple folk dress, she couldn't hide her beautiful face. Instead, she exuded a refined and refined temperament.
Gu Jinyun couldn't help but wrap his arms around her waist. Her slender waist made people fall in love with her.
Just when they were about to kiss, the hostess's voice came from outside: "Two of you, have you changed your clothes? The food has been heated up, shall we come out to eat?"
"Okay, I'll be here soon." Qi Surong pushed her away, turned around and walked out.
A trace of regret flashed in Gu Jinyun's eyes.
There were only Gu Jinyun and Qi Surong at the dinner table, and the owners of the family had already eaten. One of them is doing carpentry work at the door, and the other is sewing inside the house.
Qi Surong asked: "Auntie, do you spin all the fabrics for our clothes yourself?"
"How can that be possible?" the hostess said with a smile, "I don't have such skills. I bought all the fabrics from Qu Niang. Oh, Qu Niang is a widow who moved from another village and her textile skills are very good."
More than good? Her skill in spinning burlap so finely is evident.
Wait, Qu Niang? I seem to have heard of it somewhere.
Qi Surong was thoughtful.
"What?" Gu Jinyun asked.
Qi Surong's eyes lit up with a look of surprise. She first smiled at Gu Jinyun, and then asked the hostess: "Auntie, I also want to ask this Qu Niang to spin some pieces of cloth for me. Could you please help me introduce them tomorrow?" For a moment?"
"What's the introduction?" The hostess kept laughing, "I'll just take you there. Qu Niang is a bit cold-tempered, but she's a very nice person."
"Thank you, aunt." Qi Surong was very happy.
Gu Jinyun glanced at her and wondered what her plans were.
After washing up in the evening, Gu Jinyun looked at Qi Surong who was making the bed and asked, "Do you know her?"
"Huh?" Qi Surong was stunned for a moment, then realized that he was asking about Qu Niang, "I don't know her, but I've heard people say it before."
"What did you say?"
"You'll find out if you come with me tomorrow." Qi Surong threw herself on the bed, tilted her head and smiled mysteriously at him, "I promise it's a good thing."
Gu Jinyun's eyes fell on her little feet, gradually deepening.
He stood up, walked to the bed, and slowly took off his clothes.
Qi Surong turned over and sat up, secretly annoyed, by the way, the two of them had to sleep in the same bed tonight.
By the way, why didn't they lie about calling themselves brother and sister before, instead of calling themselves husband and wife
Although she didn't mind Jin Yun's closeness, including the years before her rebirth, it had been a long time since she had been so close to a man.
Is it too late to regret it? Qi Surong looked at Gu Jinyun pitifully.
"Don't try to hide." Gu Jinyun tapped her forehead with his finger, and she fell down on the quilt.
A smile flashed in Gu Jinyun's eyes.
He stepped onto the bed, lifted her off the quilt, then wrapped her in the quilt and lay down, taking her into his arms at the same time.
"Don't worry, I won't destroy your innocence before I give you a title." Gu Jinyun whispered softly in her ear.
Hearing this, Qi Surong felt relieved but also a little regretful.
"However," Gu Jinyun changed the topic, "It's good to secretly smell something once in a while."
As he spoke, he kissed her lips, turning them around and sucking.
Her petite body was almost completely wrapped by him, and the two of them were close together, transmitting body heat to each other.
The next day, Qi Surong woke up in a daze and found that her clothes were messy, the front was open, and there were some ambiguous red spots on her chest.
Her cheeks felt hot, and she didn't know what the man did while she was sleeping.
She stood up and quickly dressed.
Gu Jinyun came in with water, stared at her with watery eyes, leaned over and kissed her face: "Good morning."
"Morning." Qi Surong didn't dare to look at him. What's going on with this newlywed-like atmosphere
Don't be too sweet, you're about to be captured!
After breakfast, the hostess took the two of them to Qu Niang's home.
Walking into the courtyard, you can faintly hear the sound of textile machines.
"Qu Niang." The hostess called inside.
The door of the house opened with a creak, and a woman in her early thirties walked out, with a delicate appearance and a slim figure.
"Sister Huang, are you looking for me?" Qu Niang asked aloud, her eyes turning twice on Gu Jinyun and Qi Surong.
"It's like this. These two would like to ask you to help spin some pieces of cloth." Sister Huang introduced, "This is Mr. Gu, and that is his wife."
Qu Niang said coldly: "You two look like nobles at first glance, why do you need a humble village woman to help with weaving? Are you here to entertain people?"
Qi Surong smiled and said: "Qu Niang, we are here to ask for cloth sincerely, and we have no intention of amusement."
Qu Niang looked at them for a while, then took a step away and said, "Okay, please come in and talk."
When several people entered the room, Qi Surong glanced at the textile machine in the room.
It is indeed a pedal loom!
The most advanced textile machine today is the hand-operated spinning wheel. Although the silk cloth spun by this kind of spinning wheel is of good quality, the efficiency is too low and requires the cooperation of hands and feet, which is very inconvenient.
If it is not done properly, there will be considerable errors.
But the foot-operated spinning machine is different. It uses the foot pedal to drive the spinning wheel, and the hands can perform other processes. The efficiency is five times that of the hand-operated spinning wheel.
The concubine in front of me is the creator of the pedal loom. In the near future, her name will become widely known with the promotion of this kind of loom.
This kind of loom is also called "Whisper's loom".
"Auntie, can we talk to Qu Niang alone?" Qi Surong said to Sister Huang.
"Of course, you guys can talk, I just have something to do at home." Sister Huang agreed readily, turned around and left.
Qu Niang poured them a glass of water and asked straight to the point: "What kind of cloth do you want to spin?"
Qi Surong replied: "Wool, linen, cotton, and silk all need to be spun."
Qu Niang frowned and said displeasedly: "You just said you had no intention of having fun."
"Of course." Qi Surong said seriously, "We want to cooperate with you to open a textile workshop."
"Open a textile workshop?" Qu Niang asked doubtfully, "Why do you want to cooperate with me?"
"Because of it." Qi Surong pointed to her loom.
A strange look flashed in Qu's eyes and asked: "What do you think is special about it?"
"Using pedal drive, both hands can operate flexibly, and the textile efficiency is greatly improved."
This woman only took a few glances into the room, and she could tell the difference in this textile machine
Qu Niang looked at her in surprise.
Qi Surong asked again: "Qu Niang, are you willing to cooperate with us?"
"How do you plan to work together?"
Qi Surong looked at Gu Jinyun.
Gu Jinyun has already heard the business opportunities from these simple conversations. A textile machine that can improve textile efficiency means that he can occupy the fabric market faster than others. The so-called food, clothing, housing and transportation, the people's demand for cloth is never enough. Once efficiency improves, prices can be adjusted accordingly. Who doesn’t like high-quality products at low prices
Gu Jinyun said: "10% belongs to you, and you are responsible for the management and maintenance of all textile machines."
Qu Niang was a little frightened by his piercing eyes and asked hesitantly: "How big of a workshop do you plan to open?"
"First set foot in the north of the Yangtze River, then spread across the country."
Qu Niang didn't expect him to be so courageous.
Let’s not talk about the whole country. The profits of Jiangbei Generation alone are inestimable. He is actually willing to share 10% of her profits? He could simply buy her loom and make copies.
She had never disclosed the news about this new type of textile machine to anyone before, because she was worried about being stolen. Now that someone was willing to cooperate with her and offered such generous terms, she really couldn't think of a reason to refuse.
But, are they trustworthy people? The woman was gentle and approachable, but the man was really scary.
Qi Surong seemed to see through her scruples and said, "Qu Niang, you can think about it for a few days and inquire about the reputation of the Gu family before deciding whether to cooperate with us."
As she said that, she turned to look at Gu Jinyun. She knew exactly what he was like. He is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, upright and aboveboard, and will never bully the weak.
Gu Jinyun looked back at her with soft eyes, and his originally stern face no longer looked so scary.
Qu Niang saw her trust in the man from Qi Surong's eyes. The two of them were strong and soft, cold and hot, it was a match made in heaven.
She made a decision in her mind, but it was necessary to postpone her reply for a few days.
After making up her mind, she felt relaxed. Although she was not enthusiastic, she would take the initiative to chat a few words.
After leaving Qu's mother's house, Qi Surong kept smiling.
"In a good mood?" Gu Jinyun asked.
"Yes." Qi Surong said with a smile, "I didn't expect that it was a blessing in disguise that I found something good in this small village."
"She hasn't agreed to cooperate with us."
"Do you think she will refuse?" Qi Surong turned around and walked backwards, looking at him with a smile.
Gu Jinyun arched his eyebrows, which was his best way to express a smile.
After lunch, the two planned to hire an ox cart with the villagers. Unexpectedly, Gu Jinyun's escort happened to find the village.
"Miss!" Ping'er rushed over with red and swollen eyes and hugged Qi Surong tightly.
Qi Surong patted her shoulder and comforted her: "It's okay, it's okay. Miss, I am blessed with great fortune."
"I thought I would never see you again. If something happens to you, I will die." Ping'er burst into tears.
If others said this, she would laugh it off at most, but Ping'er was different. If she said she wanted to die with her, she would definitely die with her.
This is Ping'er's loyalty and her stupidity.
Qi Surong touched her head, feeling warm and sour in her heart.
"Master, we caught the groom." The guard whispered.
Gu Jinyun nodded gloomily and said, "We'll talk about it when we get back."
