Chapter 145: Find someone
Chapter 145 Looking for someone
Hearing this, Gu Dashan began to say: "Your aunt and your father are twins, and she is also thirty-seven this year. She looks like you, with a long face, a thin body, a somewhat pointed chin, red and phoenix eyes, and a brow on the left side. A small fleshy mole the size of a sesame seed, brownish red..."
When she was a child, people in the village said that people with such moles were lucky, but Da Ya had a hard life. She lost her mother when she was young, and was abused by her biological father and stepmother. In the end, she even eloped when she got married.
Gu Dashan couldn't help but wipe his tears when he thought of Gu Daya.
He wiped away his tears and continued to describe Gu Daya's appearance very carefully. He even explained clearly that there was a scar on the right side of Gu Daya's forehead and that the right earlobe was torn and split in two. .
Gu Jinli was very angry after listening to Gu Dashan's description. There were so many injuries on Aunt Daya's body. Needless to say, he knew that it was Mrs. Gu and the others who had beaten her. Even her earlobe could be torn. This was so skillful. Cruel!
Gu Jinli once again cursed Mrs. Gu and her family to die on the way to escape.
By the time Gu Jinli finished painting Gu Daya's portrait, it was already dark. She lit the lamp and modified the portrait several times. Finally, she finished the painting and showed it to Gu Dashan.
Gu Dashan saw Gu Daya's portrait and said excitedly: "I look like your Aunt Daya, but she is too old... After so many years, Daya should be this old as well."
They haven't seen each other for more than half a year since Gu Daya eloped with the salesman. Now, they haven't seen each other for nearly twenty years.
Gu Jinli smiled and said: "My aunt is not a monster, of course she will grow old. Don't worry, Dad, we will definitely find Aunt Daya."
Gu Dashan smiled and said: "Our little fish is a lucky one. If you say you can find it, you will definitely find it."
This daughter is the lucky star of their family. If it weren't for her, their family would have died on the road to escape.
“Dad, grandpa and grandma, it’s time to eat.” Gu Jinxiu brought the food to the main room and shouted with a smile to Gu Dashan and the others who were still talking.
“Here we come.” Gu Jinli and Gu Jinan packed up the things on the table, put away the two portraits, moved the table back to the main room, and the family sat down to eat together.
While eating, they discussed how much money they should pay to find someone.
The third grandfather and the third grandma are eager to spend all their savings to find someone, but Gu Jinli disagrees: "Money moves people's hearts. If you give too much money, someone will do something bad, and we will be the ones who suffer."
She thought for a while and said: "We will give twenty silver coins to anyone who provides valid information, and two taels of silver to anyone who can bring the person safely to us."
The third grandma frowned and said, "Why are there such big differences? Why don't they let us take us to find someone? By taking us to find someone, we can see someone earlier."
Gu Jinli said: "There are some people with bad hearts. If we promise to lead us to find someone, we will give them as much money as they want. If they are not found by then, if we follow them, we will most likely be knocked unconscious and robbed of money. It is better to let them be safe." It is safer to bring people to us and give them two taels of silver."
She is talking about bringing the person to them safely. If the person is injured, don’t even want the reward.
Grandpa San agreed: "This is a good idea. Bringing people here can reduce some risks and stop those people's bad intentions."
After eating, Gu Jinli took out two portraits and copied them with Gu Jinan.
Gu Jinan is smart. After Gu Jinli told him the skills of sketching in detail, he studied for two hours during the day and was able to copy portraits by himself at night.
The two brothers and sister each copied three portraits before taking a rest.
Early the next morning, Gu Jinan took out the portraits of Gu Fuya and Gu Daya and showed them to Liang Zhuzi, He Dacang, and He Wanli who came to get the tofu, and asked them to help find someone, and also told them about the reward. thing.
Liang Zhuzhu and the others made money from the Gu family's tofu, and he quickly said: "It's nothing but money. The two eldest sisters are actually the sisters of the Gu family brothers. Naturally, we have to help find them." After the three of them each took a portrait, , and assured: "Brothers of the Gu family, don't worry, we will only show the portrait to others and will not send it out. When the person is found, the portrait will be returned intact."
Although the woman in this portrait is a middle-aged woman, she is still a woman. It is not good to give the portrait to others casually. It must be taken back.
Gu Dashan nodded with a smile and said gratefully, "Sorry to trouble you."
He Wanli waved his hand and said, "What's the trouble? The Gu family brothers gave us a tofu business, so we should find someone to help."
Liang Zhuzi and the others took the tofu, paid the money, and left with their burdens.
After they left and the Gu family had breakfast, Third Grandpa and Gu Dashan packed up a gift, took the portrait, and followed Gu Jinan to Shangjia Village to ask Shang Xiucai for help in finding someone.
When Shang Xiucai saw the two portraits, his eyes lit up and he asked in surprise: "Who painted these portraits?" The paintings were too clear, and the facial features and expressions were several times better than today's portraits. If such painting skills Popularization will be of great help in catching fugitive criminals.
Shang Xiucai was the son-in-law of Jiangxianwei, and Jiangxianwei was in charge of the security of Tianfu County, so Shangxiucai had seen the portraits of criminals wanted by the county government.
That portrait... to be honest, it is far from the real person. It is impossible to find the real person based on the portrait, so many criminals cannot be apprehended.
If the county government's painter could have such painting skills, those fugitive criminals would no longer be able to hide.
Gu Jin'an said: "It was painted by Xiaoyu."
Added another sentence: "I can also draw."
This is what Xiaoyu told him last night when the brother and sister were copying the portrait.
Xiaoyu said that Shang Xiucai would definitely be interested in this kind of painting technique, but she was a girl and it was inconvenient for her to do many things, such as going into the yamen to teach people how to paint, or even going into the cell to listen to prisoners. She couldn't describe what the fugitive criminal looked like, so she let him do it.
If he can rely on this painting skill to go to the county government and teach painters how to draw, it will be of great benefit to him in his exams for fame.
In the previous dynasties, the style of madmen was prevalent, and scholars paid most attention to reputation. In Dachu, although this style of madmen had weakened a lot, scholars still paid great attention to reputation.
This novel painting skill helped Gu Jinan gain fame, which was very beneficial to him.
Gu Jinan is not that kind of pedantic scholar. On the contrary, he is very realistic and knows the importance of fame and fame.
Only when he is famous, he will not be replaced by others when taking the exam, can he successfully obtain the title, and can he protect his family, so he did not refuse, but followed what Care Jinli said.
Shang Xiucai knew that this was Gu Jinli's handiwork, so he was not too surprised. The little girl had already given him too many surprises, including this one.
But he did not ask how Gu Jinli learned this painting technique. Instead, he said to Gu Jinan: "This painting technique is of great use to the county government in apprehending fugitives. If you are willing, you can go to the county government to teach painters how to paint."
He added: "This will be very good for you. Not only will it make you famous, but you will also get a lot of money."
