Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 135 Even Female Ghosts Love Shopping
The clouds were not visible, and the courtyard, which had not been cleaned for a long time, was covered with withered leaves.

The autumn wind is blowing gently, scattering fallen leaves in the courtyard with a soft rustling sound.

Zhuo Qingyan walked slowly along the bluestone path. A gentle breeze blew, scattering all the fallen leaves on the path. Pushing open the front hall door, she saw that her father's portrait was still hanging in the hall. He was wearing a scholar's robe and a square scarf, holding a book and looking kind.

Although the tables and chairs in the hall were covered in dust, they were not damaged. However, the potted plants on the surrounding shelves had withered because they had not been watered for a long time.

Gu Zhao also glanced at the portrait hanging in the central courtyard, then released a wisp of true energy, surveying it from left to right. "Should we take the portrait with us?"

Zhuo Qingyan shook her head, "No need, this is his home, let the painting stay here."

Gu Zhao waved to Li Erping and the embroiderer, "Everyone, help me tidy up."

"okay!"

Li Erping rolled up his sleeves, and the embroiderer went to get a broom.

Zhuo Qingyan looked at Gu Zhao, smiled slightly, and waved her hand lightly. Several streams of water flew out from the well in the courtyard, washing the path in the courtyard and falling into the two water vats in the front yard. "Come on, let's go together."

Although the Zhuo family courtyard was not small, Li Erping was a hunter by trade, and the others all possessed magical powers, so they cleaned it up very quickly.

As the group cleaned, Zhuo Qingyan introduced the courtyard.

"This is my father's study. He loved to read here every morning and take a short nap in the afternoon." The group arrived at the backyard, where Zhuo Qingyan stood in front of a side room, her expression calm.

Pushing open the door, one finds four bookshelves filled with books in the small room. Near the window is a desk with the Four Treasures of the Study neatly arranged, and a book half-open, held down by a calligraphy brush, as if someone had left temporarily without finishing reading.

Zhuo Qingyan came to the desk, picked up the book, and gently brushed away the dust on the surface. "This is 'Admonitions for a Gentleman,' which Father reads most often."

The embroiderer also thought of her parents, and her eyes reddened.

Zhuo Qingyan smiled, closed the book and put it down, put her hand on the embroiderer's shoulder, pointed to the window, "Father is reading in the room, and Mother is embroidering in the courtyard. It's a pity I haven't learned how, otherwise I would have embroidered a handkerchief for you."

The embroiderer laughed, "It's a pity my name is embroiderer, but I don't actually know how to embroider."

"If you don't know how, you should learn quickly, otherwise you won't even be able to make clothes for your husband in the future, wouldn't that be incredibly embarrassing?"

Bai Ke yawned and pointed at Gu Zhao, "No wonder he always wears the same two outfits, and he still doesn't have any clothes to change into even though it's almost winter. It turns out you guys are no good!"

Zhuo Qingyan and the embroiderer immediately stopped smiling.

Bai Ke suddenly felt a chill and shivered, then turned to Gu Zhao and said, "You too, you finally come to the county town, and you don't even know to buy some cloth for Miss Zhuo and make her a few clothes."

Gu Zhao sighed, "It's getting cold. Clothes made from scraps of cloth won't keep you warm. I'm going to make Qingyan a white fox fur coat. It'll be warm and pretty in winter."

Bai Ke's tail fur stood on end, and she quickly jumped into the embroiderer's arms. "We have bear skin, wolf skin, and leopard skin at home, which are all very warm, so you don't need to try to take advantage of me, a little one like me, right?"

Gu Zhao snorted, then looked at Zhuo Qingyan and the embroiderer.

It has to be said that although Bai Ke is a chatterbox, what she said makes sense. Everyone had lived in the village before, and they had always worn two sets of clothes, so they didn't feel anything.

But this time when I entered Xiuyue County again, I found that many people had changed their clothes and put on autumn and winter clothes. There were also young ladies and ladies wearing fur coats and cloaks, all in different styles.

"It was my oversight." Gu Zhao nodded. "After we tidy up the house, let's go shopping!"

Upon hearing the words "shopping spree" and "big shopping," the embroiderer couldn't help but smile, and even Zhuo Qingyan's eyes flashed with a glint of cunning. ...

As it turns out, even female ghosts can't resist the temptation of shopping.

Moreover, Zhuo Qingyan rarely went shopping during her lifetime. When she did go out, it was usually on her days off, either to stroll around the streets or to enjoy the spring scenery and see the outside world.

After death, he became a ghost for thirty years. In the early stages, his cultivation was too weak to be seen in the light, and in the later stages, he always appeared at night and rarely went out during the day. He had not seen such worldly life for a long time.

Well, I had met her in Wuhe County before, but it was still a foreign place for her, and it wasn't as familiar and welcoming as Xiuyue County.

However, autumn was coming to an end and the weather was getting colder, so there weren't many pedestrians on the street. Most of them were ordinary people who went about their business or work, and there were few scholars who leisurely strolled around and enjoyed the scenery.

Seeing that there were pastries and fruits for sale on the street, Gu Zhao signaled the embroiderer to buy some. The group ate and strolled around, and soon came to a very eye-catching clothing store.

Why is he considered eye-catching? Because the shop is frequented by women who are dressed in flamboyant and dazzling outfits.

Gu Zhao's eyes lit up, and he was about to enter the room, but Zhuo Qingyan grabbed his arm.

"What's wrong?" Gu Zhao asked.

"Don't go in," Zhuo Qingyan said.

“I think the store mainly sells women’s clothing. Let me show you. You can’t always wear all white,” Gu Zhao said.

Zhuo Qingyan shook her head again, "Let's go to the one next door."

Gu Zhao turned around and saw that the shop next door was deserted. "Why?"

Li Erping cautiously leaned closer and reminded her, "Something's off about the girls at this shop."

Gu Zhao glanced at the girls coming in and out of the shop, and saw two or three women who came out of the shop give him a few flirtatious winks.

Gu Zhao's eyes lit up, and he stroked his chin. "It seems pretty good, doesn't it?"

Then a woman walked out of the clothing store. As she left, she passed by a few people, glanced at Zhuo Qingyan, and in the instant she passed by Gu Zhao, she chuckled softly, "If you go to Zhenxiang Courtyard, remember to have Ning Shuang serve you."

Gu Zhao: (〃'▽'〃)
After the woman left, Gu Zhao looked at Zhuo Qingyan, whose face was cold and aloof, as if she hadn't heard anything. Then, he pointed seriously to the shop next door and said, "I think this shop looks nice. Let's go in and take a look."

Li Erping shrank back and remained silent. The embroiderer chuckled softly twice, then took Zhuo Qingyan's hand.

Zhuo Qingyan couldn't help but smile, and nodded, saying, "Winter is coming soon, and it will get cold quickly in a few days. Let's buy some clothes for Old Man He and the other seniors."

The embroiderer nodded repeatedly, "Winter is very cold, and it snows heavily in the mountains. We used to be afraid to go out."

Gu Zhao entered the store first, saying, "This winter will be better. Uncle Yansong and the others brought back quite a lot of furs last time."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Five Thunder Token in Gu Zhao's mind trembled slightly, pointing towards a woman not far from the shop.

Gu Zhao raised an eyebrow. He noticed that the woman seemed to be looking down at her clothes, but her eyes were slightly slanted as she secretly observed Gu Zhao and the others.
