Chapter Forty-Six: Evenly Divided

There has been a first encounter, and there will be a second, third, or even countless times. Ran Ran found that although she had been living by Jingjing for many years, Jingjing was more familiar with this territory than her, so she couldn't press it at all, and after a few fights, the two could only barely reach a draw. And Old Madam Gu didn't know if she really didn't know, or she planned to turn a blind eye and let them fight secretly, and only stopped it when she wanted to make trouble on the stage several times.

Ran Ran had to admit that if it weren't for Jingjing's strong desire to eradicate her and climb up to Gu Lianzhao, she would be happy to get to know Jingjing as a friend. On the surface, the age difference between the two is a lot, but Jingjing's precociousness and Ranran's maturity in her bones are very compatible, and the two also have a lot of sympathy for each other in many things.

Jingjing also seemed to be more competitive with Ranran, and didn't dare to treat her as an ordinary little girl, but she was afraid of her previous bold words, and treated her with a lot of respect.

On the contrary, Gu Lianzhao came over several times and found that the two of them didn't pay attention to him at all, and even touched each other.

However, although the two secretly competed, their attitudes towards Gu Lianzhao's homework were highly consistent, so every time Gu Lianzhao came to Mrs. Gu's yard to ask for peace, in the end, he couldn't escape being escorted by the two to read and practice calligraphy. Yes, Gu Lianzhao's homework has made significant progress, and Mr. packed the ticket to say that he will be able to pass the children's exam next year, and if it goes well, the college exam can be fought for.

This made Mrs. Gu happy for a long time, you must know that even if you pass the hospital examination, you will be considered a student, and the long road to the imperial examination can be regarded as the first step. Lin Youshu was nineteen years old and won Xiucai, which is rare in Yunlu Village and even Yuecheng, if Gu Lianzhao can be Xiucai at the age of fourteen, it is also called Guangyao lintel.

Therefore, Mrs. Gu greatly rewarded the two of them, and also rewarded each person with a Nanzhu, making Swift and Miao Ling's eyes so red that they couldn't speak.

"Jingjing, Jingjing, look at what I brought you." Gu Lianzhao ran in from outside the courtyard excitedly, still shaking two red fruits in his hand, and was about to pay tribute to Jingjing.

As a result, as soon as he ran in, Jingjing came out of Mrs. Gu's house, but Ran Ran was flipping through the book under the begonia tree, and Gu Lianzhao's hand raised above his head was suddenly embarrassed to hide it, and he didn't hide it.

"Ranran, why are you here, aren't you going to the kitchen?" Gu Lianzhao slowly took his hand down, tucked it in his sleeve, and his eyes slowly moved with Jingjing's figure.

"What, bothering you?" Ran Ran glanced at Gu Lianzhao, then at Jingjing, and deliberately raised her eyebrows and asked, "Then do you need me to leave the stage and let you be alone?" ”

"Lady, this is the account that the old lady told you to read in the morning, saying that you will be tested for dinner, but I believe that with your cleverness and wit, you should be able to read it before noon." As if she hadn't seen Gu Lianzhao, Jingjing put a thick account book in front of Ranran, puffed out her face in the face of Ranran, and smiled happily.

Ran Ran cursed Jingjing several times in her heart, and let her take the account book stupidly. Just because the last time I was looking at the account book, I accidentally said too much, and directly calculated the payment account of the sewing room for half a year, Jingjing reported to Mrs. Gu that she was born with the ability to calculate and ten lines at a glance.

It's okay not to say it, as soon as she talks about Old Madam Gu's bad taste, she asks her to settle the accounts at every turn, and then asks her to account for all the accounts of previous years. originally thought that all the accounts were just daily payments, but I didn't expect Jingjing to turn out the income of Zhuangzi everywhere and the selling price of seasonal goods everywhere.

In other words, they use her brain as a database.

Ran Ran regretted a little that she was literate, and with Mrs. Gu's unassuming temperament, denying that she was literate and arithmetic would definitely make her angry, so she had to return to her old business in her previous life.

"I'm thirsty, go and pour me a glass of water. By the way, I heard that you brought a jar of osmanthus nectar from home, mix it with some for me to drink, two spoonfuls of honey and a glass of water, it will not taste good if it is light. Ran Ran smiled and looked at Jingjing, as she wished, to see the displeasure in her eyes.

Knowing that Jingjing has osmanthus nectar is a leak, because Gu Lianzhao likes osmanthus flowers, so he soaked a jar after Jingjing left the house. I thought that I would ask someone to bring it in for Gu Lianzhao, so that he wouldn't forget himself and find a way to rearrange her into the house. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Gu opened her mouth first, and Jingjing's heart was not sent out in time.

But she didn't expect Ranran to know the secret. This is because she deliberately went into the mountains to look for a long time, and only then did she pick such a basket of osmanthus flowers, and then found a hunter in the mountains who specializes in brewing wild honey, and asked for a small jar. I was reluctant to eat it, but the lion opened his mouth, and a glass of water had to be mixed with two spoonfuls.

However, when Ran Ran opened her mouth like this, she couldn't refuse, so she had to turn around angrily, intending to go and make honey water for her.

"Jingjing, I'm ......" Gu Lianzhao hadn't spoken to Jingjing before he saw that she was leaving, and hurriedly shouted.

"Young master, you specially sent food to Jingjing, is there any share of mine?" Ran Ran's sharp eyes saw what Gu Lianzhao was hiding in his sleeve, and deliberately snickered at him.

was discovered by Ranran, Gu Lianzhao's face was a little hot, but he only had two, and he planned to have one with Jingjing, but he didn't expect to meet Ranran. asked him to generously let both out, and he felt really distressed in his heart, after all, this thing is a rare thing, it is said that it is only found on the island in the extreme south, and it has been reversed for so long, although it is not fresh, but there are only ten in total.

There are two masters in the family, and the remaining two are given to Gu Shichang's two aunts, so there is no superfluity at all.

As soon as Jingjing heard that Gu Lianzhao was specially bringing her food, she couldn't help but stand on her feet and looked at him with crystal eyes.

The two girls stared at him, Gu Lianzhao suddenly wanted to turn around and run away, hesitated, took out the two lotus mist in his sleeves, and said in his mouth: "There is a barbarian merchant from Yuecheng, it is said that this thing is from ......"

Jingjing didn't know the goods, and looked at the burgundy fruit like a bell, and her heart was both like and curious. Ke Ranran couldn't help but jump up, unceremoniously snatched one from Gu Lianzhao's hand, and asked excitedly, "How can you have a lotus mist!" It's amazing, I thought there was nothing but peach and plum apricots here. ”

Hearing Ranran's words, both of them cast their eyes curiously, "Do you know?" ”

Ran Ran was about to open her mouth to bite down, but they saw that she withdrew her teeth and said, "I heard about it, I heard it in the book." ”

Gu Lianzhao seemed very interested, "What book is so strange, there is even a record of this thing, bring it to me and take a look." ”

"Young master, where did you get this red fruit, why don't you keep it for yourself to eat when it's so rare." Jingjing was not used to seeing that Gu Lianzhao was attracted by Ranran's attention, and looked at Gu Lianzhao with all her tenderness.

"My father asked people to send it back from Yuecheng in an urgent manner, it seems that a barbarian merchant who went north brought it back from an island, saying that it was delayed for a few days, otherwise it would be even more sweet and sour." As soon as Gu Lianzhao got his hand, he immediately rushed over to find Jingjing, and he didn't even smell the smell.

"It's all loved, since it's so rare, the young master should keep it for himself to eat." Jingjing's words were deliberately said to Ranran, although she also wanted to feast her appetite, but she didn't dare to take the initiative like Ranran.

"It's okay, I can get it with my aunt, and I'll give you these two." Gu Lianzhao saw that Jingjing's eyes could also see God, and he ruthlessly stuffed the lotus mist into her hand.

"Since the young master is so generous, then I'm not welcome." Ran Ran hooked the corners of her mouth and looked at the blush on Gu Lianzhao's face playfully.

"Ranran, you haven't said how you know the name of this fruit." Even the servant who delivered the fruit said that the barbarian merchant had not mentioned the name of the fruit, but Ran Ran recognized it at a glance, which made Gu Lianzhao very curious.

"I forgot, my dad said before, it's about some idle book." Ran Ran was afraid that he would ask after him, so she bit the lotus mist, turned around and picked up the account book, and said to them with a smile: "Since I have something to eat, I don't want honey water, I'll go back to the house to read the account book, and I won't disturb your chat." ”

Without waiting for them to speak, the soles of his feet were smeared with oil, and he ran out of their sight at a high speed.
