Mr. Xu turned his head as if he suddenly realized it, with an apologetic expression on his face, "I'm sorry, I'm rude -"
"I don't know why, but this girl is very kind-faced, as if she has seen her before somewhere."
Gu Fei curled her lips slightly. , isn't this a common routine used by scumbags in previous lives?
Mr. Xu smiled and asked Gu Fei, "Is this girl Gu's sister? She doesn't look much alike."
Gu Fei's facial features were wide open and her appearance was rather gorgeous.
Lanzhi has soft eyebrows and looks demure and beautiful.
Gu Fei said calmly: "She's a distant cousin."
Although Lanzhi was embroidering with her head down at the counter, several people were sitting in the lobby, and Lanzhi heard their words clearly, and Lanzhi's face turned redder.
Gu Fei turned to Su Chen, "By the way, I haven't thanked Mr. Su enough for the gift that day. It was too expensive."
Su Chen waved his hand, "It's nothing."
He leaned forward slightly, "Now, Does the girl manage this inn by herself?"
Gu Fei nodded, "I heard from Brother Zhang that Mr. Su is studying in the academy now?"
Su Chen smiled and said, "He is studying in Qinglian Academy."
Gu Fei raised his eyebrows slightly. Lianshuyuan is very famous even in later generations.
This academy has gone through ups and downs for thousands of years, and has produced many great scholars, great Confucians, and high-ranking officials.
Gu Fei said with a smile: "Then I must be very knowledgeable."
Mr. Xu waved his fan and looked at Su Chen with a smile, "That's natural. Zixiu is an expert at writing beautiful articles. He ranks first in the academy this month in the monthly exam."
"Master has said that there will definitely be a place for Zixiu in this autumn."
After hearing this, Gu Fei thought to himself, Qiuwei is the provincial examination, which is the examination of candidates. It seems that Mr. Su has already gained the reputation of being a scholar.
Su Chen blushed slightly and waved his hand, "It's just a fluke."
Gu Fei said with a smile: "Then I would like to congratulate the young master on high school in advance. If the young master wins, send someone a message so that I can send him a congratulatory gift."
It's a good thing to repay the favor of the green jade cabbage.
She stood up and said, "You two gentlemen, sit down for a moment while I go change my clothes."
Gu Fei got up and went to the backyard.
As soon as Gu Fei left, Mr. Xu also stood up, walked to the counter, smiled at Lanzhi who was lowering her head to embroider
, and said, "What's your name, girl?" Lanzhi tensed up when she saw him coming over, and her face became even redder when she heard his question. , didn't speak, just lowered his head and embroidered.
Mr. Xu added: "Young lady has such skillful hands. I have never seen such exquisite embroidery work before."
Lanzhi vaguely understood what the young master meant, bit her lip, and didn't care that there was no one at the counter to look after her. The embroidered quilt went to the backyard.
Mr. Xu looked at Lanzhi's back disappearing through the back door and felt a sense of loss.
Su Chen looked at Mr. Xu and frowned slightly. In the past, when he looked at Mr. Xu in the academy, he was okay, but who knew that today, when he looked at him, his behavior was quite frivolous.
Qinglian Academy, where he is currently studying, is a day's drive from Ping'an City. He finally got three days' rest and only got home last night. This morning, he just wanted to come and see Gu Fei.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Xu came to the door early in the morning. Su Chen had no choice but to go to the academy tomorrow morning if he didn't see Gu Fei today, so he had to bring him with him.
Who knew that he would stare at this little lady without any scruples.
Not long after, Gu Fei came out, still wearing a moon-white muslin undershirt, but she changed into a clean one.
Seeing Mr. Xu still stretching his neck to look at the back door, Su Chen was worried that he might cause something. He stood up and bowed to Gu Fei, "Miss Gu, Brother Xu and I have to go to the bookstore, so I won't disturb you."
