Chapter 162: Continue to tell the story

"Okay, lotus color..." Gu Xiaoyou muttered, found a piece of lotus color paper, and wrapped it up for the girl.

In this way, Gu Xiaoyou wrapped the book covers of more than a dozen books in a row until the colored paper on hand was used up.

Gu Xiaoyou said to the customers who were still queuing up: "Sorry, we have run out of colored paper. If you want to wrap the book covers, please come early tomorrow."

"It's gone so soon?" The customers who were still in line complained. They looked towards the table and saw that there was nothing on the table except scissors, so they reluctantly left.

"I didn't expect the book cover to be popular." Gu Xiaoyou shrugged, turned and walked towards the backyard.

In the colored paper workshop.

Master Yuan was mixing new dyeing colors. When he saw Gu Xiaoyou arriving again, he said with a smile: "Boss Gu's large piece of colored paper is gone. You have to wait until the afternoon."

"We won't use it today, but when the colored paper comes out, keep some large sheets and send them directly to the book club." Gu Xiaoyou ordered.

"Okay, but why are you sending it to the book club?" Master Yuan asked curiously.

Gu Xiaoyou smiled slightly: "Because I developed a new function for colored paper."

She explained the matter of wrapping book covers with colored paper to Master Yuan in detail. After listening to it, Master Yuan said with some admiration: "Boss Gu is really a person who can do big things. He can think of such a novel usage."

"It's not really novel. All the kids who go to school in my hometown know it." Gu Xiaoyou waved his hand and said modestly.

Before modern ready-made book covers were produced, these students used book covers and paper to wrap books, and each of them developed a good skill in wrapping books.

After not doing it for a long time, she still felt that her skills were rusty.

"Boss Gu, you are being too modest." Boss Yuan said with a smile.

Gu Xiaoyou smiled, looked at Boss Yuan's color pool, and asked, "Are there any new colors?"

"Yes, after listening to you talk about the three primary colors, I adjusted some new colors and have made several pictures. Please take a look."

As he spoke, Boss Yuan took out some pieces of colored paper from the paper drying rack.

"Let me take a look." Gu Xiaoyou took the colored paper in his hand and looked at it one by one. He found that there were more colors such as purple, green, cyan, imperial red, etc. The colors were clear and very good.

Looking at Master Yuan with satisfaction, Gu Xiaoyou praised: "You are so amazing, you can match so many colors."

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to make it." Master Yuan cupped his hands and said modestly.

The two exchanged pleasantries, and Gu Xiaoyou left the colored paper workshop and returned to the book club.

After spending the entire afternoon in the book club, the sun had just set when Zhou stepped into the book club under the sunset.

"Xiaoyou, it's time for us to go home." Zhou said happily.

"Oh, okay." Gu Xiaoyou glanced at the sky and saw that it was still slightly bright, and said confusedly: "Are you going home so early today?"

Isn't it usually only when it's completely dark and no one is on the street that Mr. Zhou would close his shop?

The sun rises in the west today?

"It's late, it's already Shenshi time." Mrs. Zhou took the initiative to step forward, put down the books that Gu Xiaoyou was lying on the table, and then pulled Gu Xiaoyou out of the book club.

As soon as we walked out of the bookstore, two storytellers were standing at the door, as if they had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Gu Xiaoyou, the two storytellers bowed their hands in greeting and said with a bit of positivity: "Boss Gu, let's go back to the mansion quickly."

"Oh, okay." Gu Xiaoyou responded in a daze, and Mrs. Zhou took her arm and walked towards the carriage, with the two storytellers quickly following behind.

Along the way, Mrs. Zhou lifted the car curtain from time to time and looked around. Gu Xiaoyou raised her eyebrows, and she probably understood why Mr. Zhou was so impatient. It turned out that they were all eager to hear the story.

When they returned to the mansion, many servants gathered around and greeted them warmly: "Miss Gu, you are back."

"Well, I'm back."

"Come to the main hall for dinner, dinner is ready." The servants said positively.

Gu Xiaoyou walked in with a dark expression on his face as he was surrounded by his servants.

The original cup of tea was taken half a cup of tea away. If Gu Xiaoyou hadn't refused, the servants would have even wanted to carry her directly into the hall.

As soon as they entered the main hall, the table was already filled with sumptuous meals, and Gu Xiaoyou was placed at the head seat.

As soon as I sat down, a bowl of hot rice was placed on my hand, and a respectful female voice said: "Please have a meal."

When Gu Xiaoyou heard the voice, he couldn't help but raise his eyes and said in surprise: "Zhixia, why are you here?"

Shouldn't this girl stay in the courtyard where she lives? Why did she come to the main hall?

"I heard other people tell the story you told me last night..." Zhixia blushed and said shyly, "I also want to hear the follow-up."

"..."

Gu Xiaoyou was speechless for a moment: "Okay, let's talk after I finish eating."

"My servant will prepare the dishes for you." Zhixia showed a happy smile and actively served Gu Xiaoyou with vegetables and soup.

After finishing dinner in the expectant eyes of everyone, Gu Xiaoyou was escorted to the hall to sit down with her hands behind her back. The servants pulled out chairs and served tea and water. Zhixia even stood behind Gu Xiaoyou and squeezed her shoulders.

.

Gu Xiaoyou enjoyed the treatment like a superstar. She slowly took a sip of tea and said, "Where did I go?"

"The man takes the outer chamber home and enters the inner chamber there." Mrs. Zhou replied quickly.

"I remember it very well." Gu Xiaoyou joked.

Zhou's cheeks were flushed and she looked at Gu Xiaoyou eagerly: "Stop laughing at me and continue talking."

"Okay." Gu Xiaoyou stopped being pretentious and started talking leisurely: "As soon as the outsider entered the house, I was terrified for a few days. I found that my wife was a kind person and never made things difficult for her, so I relaxed and was kind to her at first.

The first wife was a little respectful, but then she began to boss her around based on the man's favor. Today, the wife is arrogantly mocking the first wife..."

Gu Xiaoyou spoke vividly, and everyone listened in fascination. Zhixia listened the most attentively. He even stopped squeezing his shoulders with his hands unconsciously, and the expressions on his face changed due to the plot of the story.

Except for Gu Xiaoyou's voice, the entire mansion was silent.

"...The outside wife caused the wife to lose her child. She was scared for a few days, fearing that the wife would expose her, so she came up with a vicious plan." Gu Xiaoyou narrowed his eyes and pretended to be sad.

Everyone's hearts were aroused because of this sentence, and while they were still waiting for the follow-up content, they saw Gu Xiaoyou take a sip of tea and click the tea lid: "Predict the follow-up, and listen to the explanation next time."

"Is this the end of the story?" Zhou protested, "What kind of evil plan did you tell me?"

"It's late, it's time to sleep." Gu Xiaoyou stretched out his index finger and shook it, firmly refusing.

"Okay." Zhou stood up helplessly, knowing that Gu Xiaoyou refused to talk.
