Dong Nuan was stunned for a moment when she heard the other person's last name.
Gou surname?
If Dong Nuan remembers correctly, the current county magistrate’s surname is Gou.
This is because it was mentioned in the storybook, so Dong Nuan knew about it.
Otherwise, given the identity of the original owner, it is impossible to know who the current eldest man is.
There are not many people with the surname Gou in this area of Xiaowan Village, so it is very unusual for one to appear.
So, who is the magistrate’s family?
Dong Nuan observed calmly, but unfortunately the other person was wearing a double-layer thick gauze curtain, so he couldn't see his face clearly and couldn't judge anything.
However, it can be seen that the other person is not very old, probably around ten years old, and is obviously a little girl.
"Don't bother me, what's the matter?" Dong Nuan was not in a hurry to invite people in first, but took the initiative to ask.
Seeing this, Miss Gou didn't feel angry, but slightly lifted her body and said, "Can I take a step to speak?"
At this moment, some villagers had gathered around curiously. Miss Gou was not used to being stared at by so many people, and she was not prepared to let others hear what she wanted to say.
Dong Nuan made a visual inspection and found that the difference in strength between himself and those servants, when added together, was not too powerful, so it was not troublesome for him to deal with it.
Then Dong Nuan nodded: "I'm sorry for the poor reception. Girl, please."
"Nothing, I'm taking the liberty to disturb you." Miss Gou replied politely, and then followed Dong Nuan's guidance and entered Dong's house.
Dong's house is not a big place, and the main room is just a place for entertaining guests.
There are taller benches and small benches at home. Miss Gou's clothes looked like expensive materials. Dong Nuan thought about it and motioned to Dong Yao to bring a bench over.
At least the stool is higher so the other person's skirt won't drag on the floor.
Dong Yao quickly moved a bench over with a wink, and wiped it carefully with a dry cloth.
To be honest, Dong Yao felt that he had never wiped his face so carefully.
Even so, the other side's maid still seemed to dislike this stool. She just considered that her own girl couldn't sit on it all the time. After thinking about it, the maid took out a pure white silk handkerchief and spread it in the middle of the stool.
Then he motioned to Miss Gou to sit down.
"Sorry." Miss Gou actually didn't particularly dislike it, but the maid was too fast and she had no time to stop her.
At this time, she took off the curtain, revealing a delicate and childish face, bowed embarrassedly, and then sat down.
It doesn't matter if it's warm in winter, but the dress of a noble lady is really mopped on the floor, stained with dirt, and has to be cleaned later, which is really troublesome.
The main reason is that the other party may be a member of the county magistrate's family, which is more troublesome.
"It should be." Dong Nuan waved his hand carelessly, dragged a small bench over and sat down on it.
Although one is taller and the other is shorter, the two of them are not inferior to Dong Nuan in terms of aura. Although she looks a bit scattered, it is hard to ignore her presence.
Seeing Dong Nuan sitting generously on the small bench, Miss Gou pursed her lips, with complex colors in her eyes.
I couldn't tell whether I was envious of the other person's free and uninhibited attitude, or whether I looked down upon the other person's rude actions.
However, Miss Gou has good self-control and will not express her emotions excessively, even though she is not very old.
What's more, she actually came to ask for something. At this time, a slightly humble attitude is very important.
After thinking about it for a few times, Miss Gou said softly: "I went to see the wood carving shop in the town."
Regarding the shops in the town, Dong Nuan had no intention of deliberately hiding them.
Of course, this is mainly for big customers, not for other people.
This saves Old Man Dong from endless trouble, which is too much trouble.
If Miss Gou knows this, she must have asked the Hanjiang Tower. The other party most likely guessed Miss Gou's possible identity, so she revealed a few things.
It's just that the other party came to me on his own initiative, which is quite surprising.
Dong Nuan thought that even if these noble gentlemen and ladies were somewhat interested, they would most likely just send someone over to have a chat.
It’s not that Dongnuan can’t accept private customization. The price is higher and it’s easier to use. Dongnuan thinks it’s pretty good.
Her main purpose is to make money, not to gain fame or anything like that.
It's best to have this kind of private menu. You can eat one for several months and save Hanjiang Lou from having to go to town.
"Yeah." Dong Nuan didn't know if Miss Gou was coming to make a custom order, so she just responded with a calm voice.
In fact, Miss Gou had prepared a lot of foreshadowing and wanted to talk slowly.
But after seeing Dong Nuan sitting on the small bench in a particularly uninhibited manner, I felt that I had taken a big detour, just in case the other party didn't understand...
That would be very embarrassing.
So, after thinking about it, she threw a straight ball: "I like the General Luban Case and the Luban Stool in the girl's shop. After seeing such ingenuity, I thought that the girl should also have some strange ideas.
A small item?"
Miss Gou's words were somewhat uncertain at the end.
If something like the General Lu Ban Case were placed in the capital, it would not be considered a very rare thing. At most, it just depends on whose workmanship is more meticulous.
But placed in this remote county town, or even here in Fucheng, it is considered a rare and exquisite object.
After all, there are not many craftsmen who can do this kind of craftsmanship. When she first knew that the person who made this was a little girl, Miss Gou actually still didn't believe it.
But Hanjianglou insisted that it was made by Dong Nuan. If he wanted to ask for some other ingenuity, he could convey it on his behalf. It would be best if he had drawings.
At that time, Miss Gou thought that since she had nothing to do, she could take the initiative to come and have a look.
In fact, under normal circumstances, when ladies visit each other, they need to pass the post, so as not to be rude.
After Miss Gou discussed it with her mother, she felt that she had really handed over the post, and the other party was not familiar with her. If she reported her identity, it would not be good for the other party to be frightened.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Miss Gou decided to take the initiative and come directly to the door.
It's rude, but it's actually okay, right?
She remembered that her distant cousin said that whenever she visited the farmyard, she would always come directly to the door.
So, she can be regarded as doing as the Romans do, right?
Miss Gou thought uncertainly.
At this time, after she asked, she was still a little worried.
When Dong Nuan heard her words, she understood better. Is the other party interested in these whimsical pieces, or is he in need and wants to come and customize them?
When business comes, Dong Nuan cannot drive people away, not to mention that the other party may be a member of the county magistrate's family, or the eldest daughter of the family, so he cannot push him out of the house.
Dong Nuan's mind was racing, but within a few breaths, she had already made various guesses: "Well, okay, does the big girl need any small items?"
