After going out from Gu's house, Gu Qinghuan went to the front of the shop of rock sugar gourd.

At a glance, I saw a bunch of strawberry rock sugar gourds.

"Boss, I want this."

Gu Qinghuan pointed to the only remaining string of strawberry rock sugar gourds, thought for a while, and said, "Two more strings of hawthorns." ”

She sneaked out.

After going back, I also want to reward Ah Shuang and Yaqi who covered for me.

"Okay."

The boss wrapped the three strings of sugar gourds one by one, and said, "It's a total of 11 yuan." ”

What?

Eleven pennies?

Gu Qinghuan was slightly stunned, and glanced at the string of copper coins in his hand.

She only has ten cents left...

The silver and gold leaves on Fang Cai's body were all given to Eniang to subsidize the family.

There are only ten cents left, and I can't even afford three rock sugar gourds.

"Boss..."

Gu Qinghuan smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "I have ten cents left." You see I buy a lot of money, why don't you get it cheaper? ”

The boss snorted and laughed.

"Little girl, how much do you buy these three strings?"

The boss looked at the wrapped rock sugar gourd, then looked at Gu Qinghuan, and hesitated.

This little girl doesn't look like that kind of treacherous person, should she be kind?

Gu Qinghuan also looked at the boss with a pitiful look, indicating that he was really poor.

"Her rock sugar gourd money, I gave it to her!"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind him.

It's a little bit magnetic, and it's very pleasant to the ear.

Gu Qinghuan only felt very familiar, and when he looked back, he immediately recognized it.

It turned out to be Zhang Tingyu!

Humble gentleman and personable.

All the beautiful words added up at this moment, and it was impossible to describe his image of being like a god descending from heaven in Gu Qinghuan at this time.

Woo woo... Finally someone can pay for me.

Although it is only eleven yuan, Zhang Tingyu's words sound quite a kind of "I Zhang Gongzi will pay for all the consumption tonight".

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang."

Gu Qinghuan's gratitude was overflowing, and after quietly approaching Zhang Tingyu, he muttered in a low voice: "Don't tell the fourth elder brother about me sneaking out." ”

"Secretly?"

Zhang Tingyu pondered these two words for a moment, looked back at the Gu Mansion not far away, and immediately understood.

"Zhang naturally understands."

Zhang Tingyu arched his hand, quite a bit of a hero.

"Thank you."

After Gu Qinghuan took over the three strings of rock sugar gourds from the boss, he took out his string of strawberry rock sugar gourds without thinking.

"Please eat."

Just think of it as a hush money.

Zhang Tingyu is so good, he should invite him to eat.

"I..."

Zhang Tingyu just wanted to say that he didn't like sweets very much. Before he finished speaking, the strawberry rock sugar gourd had already been stuffed into his hand.

Zhang Tingyu looked at Gu Qinghuan with a serious face.

Gu Qinghuan realized something at this time, and asked, "Zhang Gongzi... Don't eat it? ”

It seems to be too!

Some boys don't like to eat this.

"Eat." Zhang Tingyu suddenly felt that it was not bad to taste.

Though... The rock sugar gourd that Gu Qinghuan invited himself to eat was bought with his own money. But no matter what, it seems that this is the first time that a girl's family has invited her to eat.

He had also saved Gu Qinghuan before, and he still had a good relationship, so eating should not be in the way.

"That's it."

Gu Qinghuan smiled happily and said, "Next time, when I have money, I will invite you to eat Yangchun noodles again." It's getting late, I have to go back first! ”

"Eat Yangchun noodles... I'll remember the one with the silver. ”

"Okay." Zhang Tingyu smiled and took a bite of the rock sugar gourd.

In the mouth, there is the sweetness of rock sugar, followed by the sweetness and sourness of strawberries. It's a wonderful feeling of interweaving, and it's no wonder that the girls love it.

Before a rock sugar gourd was eaten, Zhang Tingyu looked at Gu Qinghuan's back, and it had already disappeared into the crowded streets.

That's right!

He went out today because he had something to do, and he almost forgot about it.

…

When Gu Qinghuan returned to the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion, the eldest elder brother and the third elder brother had not yet left.

In front of them, Mama Zhuang and Su Peisheng were serving tea, and Yaqi was learning on the side.

Gu Qinghuan said here that there were other things to do in the house, so he didn't go to the front. When I came back, I happened to meet Ah Shuang who was sweeping in the yard.

"Sister Qinghuan, you're back!"

Ah Shuang hurriedly put down the broom, and a lot of sweat appeared on her forehead.

"What's wrong?" Gu Qinghuan asked, and at the same time, he took out a bunch of hawthorn rock sugar gourds that he bought and handed them to Ah Shuang.

"Over there at the back corner door, someone came to look for Sister Yaqi."

Ah Shuang said: "I said that it was Sister Yaqi's cousin, and I waited for a while." But now Sister Yaqi is not available, why don't you go and take a look? ”

Cousin?

Gu Qinghuan felt strange, where did Yaqi get her cousin?

Could it be that the little brother of the neighbor's next door?

"I'll take a look." Gu Qinghuan handed the remaining string of sugar gourds to Ah Shuang, and said, "There is another string for Yaqi, help me hold it, I will come when I go." ”

At the rear corner door.

A young man in coarse cloth stood there, and because he had waited for a long time, there was a slight impatience between his eyebrows.

He stared at the Gaomen compound of the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion, and there was a bit of yearning in his eyes.

Zhumen's wine and meat stinks and there are frozen bones on the road. Sooner or later, he will live in such a mansion too!

When Gu Qinghuan pushed open the back corner door, he happened to see this young man kicking a small stone.

“…”

Gu Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, and then forgot to ask first.

The boy noticed that someone was coming out and immediately looked up. Realizing that it was Gu Qinghuan, a bright color flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at it for a moment before asking, "Are you?" ”

"I'm a friend of Yaqi."

Gu Qinghuan straightened his waist and said, "I heard that you came to find Yaqi, do you have anything?" She is now waiting before her master, and she is not empty. ”

"Serving the master?"

The boy repeated these words, muttering a little, and after thinking about it, he said, "I'm her cousin." This one... It was given to her. ”

After the boy finished speaking, he took out a small wooden hairpin from his sleeve.

The material is very ordinary, and the style is novel.

"I did it myself." The boy said, "It's not a rare thing, but I want to give it to her." You... Can you help me give it to her? ”

Gu Qinghuan took the hairpin and looked at it carefully.

The lines are clear and detailed. If it is polished by hand, it does take a lot of effort.

"I'll give it to her for you."

Gu Qinghuan's impression of this young man suddenly improved a lot, and said, "Do you have anything else?" ”

"I..."

The boy hesitated, then shook his head.

"Then I'll go." Gu Qinghuan said, turning around and leaving.

"Wait." The young man stopped Gu Qinghuan all of a sudden, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "The school has been busy these days, and I have to buy books again." I... There is no silver. ”

“…”

Gu Qinghuan suddenly understood the reason for the young man.

The young man stared at the ground, looked up embarrassedly, and said, "Don't have too much, a tael of silver is enough." You help me ask her... Can you think of a way. ”

“…”

Gu Qinghuan was silent for a moment, and after a while, he said, "Okay." I see, I'll help you ask. ”

"That's it."

The young man's tone revealed a bit of cheerfulness, and he said, "I'll go back first, thank you." Remember to help me ask... Also, remember to bring her hairpins! ”
