CHAPTER XXII

The boy naturally doesn't understand these rouge gouache things, and he doesn't know what his mother prefers, Xie Ru liquidated that two days away is his mother's birthday, and he thought that Yanping wanted to buy it to please his mother.

Xie Ruqing didn't want to have more contact, after all, it was inconvenient for her to speak now, but once she thought of her mother, she selfishly wanted to inquire more, wondering if her mother was okay, whether she was sad because of her, and whether it was still the same as before......

"Dare to ask how Ling Tang looks?" Xie Ruqing pointed to his face, and then to the rouge box.

Fang Yanping is really smart, and he understands as soon as he asks, "You ask my mother's complexion, she hasn't been too good lately, she has been sick, she coughs when the season changes, she has no appetite, and her face is a little pale, so I want to buy some beautiful rouge gouache, doesn't it mean that her complexion is good and her mood is good?" ”

Xie Ruqing's heart suddenly felt uncomfortable, and she knew that her mother was not less sad because of her, she tried her best to control her emotions, and helped Fang Yanping choose a few rouge and cream suitable for her mother, she wanted to pay for him, but her current status was very rude to pay, so she had to give up.

Fang Yanping happily paid for the things, thanked Xie Ruqing repeatedly, and asked her which young lady she was, and he was going to invite her to tea or something.

Xie Ruqing smiled and shook his head, signaling that he didn't have to care, and left.

With this episode, Xie Ruqing's mood was a little low, but he was also happy because he saw Yanping, he was melancholy and relieved for a while, and he walked to Xingping Bookstore before he knew it. She looked inside, and saw that there was no one and went in, originally wanted to go to the teahouse first, but now she was in no mood to "hook up" with Qi Yanzhi, so she simply walked around casually.

"Childe, didn't you just come to the library the day before yesterday?" Qingshan said helplessly, "You come and go back with a bunch of books, and stay up late when you go back, I really worked hard at first, daring is a pastime, do you think I can still get used to it?" ”

Qi Yanzhi let Qingshan talk about the land, and sent him to play by himself, "Buy what you want to eat, and pick me up in half an hour." ”

"Childe, you test me, am I the kind of person who abandons his master in order to eat......" Castle Peak remembered the little oily chicken he ate the day before yesterday, his saliva was about to flow down, Childe's taste was light, and he was going to fade out of his mouth when he ate it, and he almost wanted to die of the little oily chicken...... Hey, what, I'll go buy you some dried fruit and eat it while I'm listening. ”

Qi Yanzhi knew his virtue best, smiled and waved his hand to let him go, and he pushed his wheelchair into the Xingping Library.

"Yo, Young Master Qi is here." The owner of the bookstore looked at Young Master Qi as if he was looking at the God of Wealth - of course, readers don't talk about money, and the library was originally opened to make friends with readers, not expecting to make a fortune, but Young Master Qi is not an ordinary scholar, he is really willing to spend money, so that the boss's first reaction when he sees him is that the God of Wealth enters the door.

"Well, are there any new books" Qi Yanzhi looked around, and vaguely saw a girl behind the back bookshelf, which felt familiar.

"Yes, I only came here yesterday, and I haven't been on the shelf yet." In order to serve the God of Wealth, the boss has to collect all kinds of strange books every day, this master does not pick the content, he reads the book, the only problem is that he reads it too fast, and he can't keep up with the speed of finding books.

When the boss was looking for a book, Qi Yanzhi pushed the wheelchair and walked towards the woman.

Xie Ruqing is reading a picture book, telling the story of Miss Childe, when she was a girl, she occasionally read this kind of book, and she longed for marriage in the book, and now when she looks at it, she is a little more transparent, and then she looks at the fairy couple in the book, and she feels that she is not so envious of others. Sweetness is temporary, they will also experience hardship, but the previous self only focused on the honey-like days and ignored some possibilities.

The life written in the book is just a sentence, is there really such a marriage of a lifetime and a couple, at least she has never seen it in this world.

"This book doesn't end well." Qi Yanzhi said lightly.

Xie Ruqing was startled, she was so engrossed that she didn't notice someone, and when she turned her head and saw that it was Qi Yanzhi, the book almost fell to the ground.

Qi Yanzhi took a new copy from the shelf and gave it to her, "Well, this one is not bad, it can be used as a pastime." ”

Xie Ruqing glanced at it, she happened to have read the book, it was indeed happy, and the protagonist in the book didn't even encounter any waves, but now she felt that such a story was too idealistic, in other words, it was too fake, life was not like this, she had no interest in reading it, because she couldn't empathize with it, and she couldn't believe it.

"Seen it?" Qi Yanzhi probed her expression and understood it at a glance, "It seems that you don't like this type, don't you believe it?" ”

Xie Ruqing nodded his head with a divine gesture. Qi Yanzhi smiled, "I believe it, some things are man-made, it may be too difficult for two people to have a smooth life, but as long as they are transparent, hardship is also precious." ”

Xie Ruqing was stunned, not because the dignified young master Qi Yanzhi actually read this kind of pastime book of the little daughter's house, but because of his argument, she had the heart to refute, but she was speechless.

Each is transparent, but it is impossible to find, and if you are lucky enough to meet it, it is also a blessing.

What surprised Xie Ruqing even more was that the eldest young master's generosity in buying books was really staggering, he bought dozens of books by himself, and he also helped her choose the books by the way. She was a little ashamed in her heart, just now she had been slandering him for reading a small picture book, and now she was a little embarrassed to take a short hand.

"Young Master, may I invite you to tea?" Xie Ruqing gestured.

Qi Yanzhi felt that this proposal was very good, so he chose a place for the girl to treat, and the destination was Jiang Ji Teahouse.

The most famous thing about Jiang Ji Teahouse is not the tea soup, but Mr. Bai Qi's storytelling hall, which comes every Friday every month and is full.

Xie Ruqing has only heard of this place and has never been there, but as a person who is the east, it is a novelty to see everything. On the other hand, Qi Yanzhi is familiar with the door, and everywhere he goes, there is a familiar little two to lead the way, and he was politely invited to the private room on the second floor, the location is the best, and he is rushing to the desk of Mr. Bai Qi downstairs.

Xie Ruqing remembered the attitude of the bookstore owner, and knew that the eldest young master Qi had thrown money at the teahouse, most of the people who did business in these years were snobs, either you have an identity, or you are willing to throw money at others, as long as you have these two things, you are the ancestor.

"Longjing, the girl is suitable to drink." Qi Yanzhi asked the treater, "Does Miss Xie want anything else to eat?" ”

Xie Ruqingxin said that you have arranged it clearly, and asked her what to do, in short, in the end, she paid for it, so she waved her hand and signaled that she didn't want to. However, after she finished waving her hand, Qi Yanzhi ordered several more snacks.

“……”

Qingshan, who was well-fed and drunk, came back with a big bag of dried fruits to offer treasure, "Childe, what do you see I bought for you...... Ah, Miss Ruqing is also here, that's right, you can accompany our son-in-law to have a lively meal. ”

What do you want me to eat with your son? Xie Ruqing was speechless, but thinking about it, it seems that this is indeed the case, even listening to books, after all, she has not heard the previous text, and she doesn't know what it means at all, isn't it just to listen to the excitement.

However, Mr. Bai spoke really well, but Xie Ruqing was impatient to listen, and his eyelids were a little heavy when he listened to it. Qi Yanzhi glanced at her, her clear and shallow face was very attractive, her head was strange and cute, and her white and slender neck was like white jade, which made people unable to take their eyes off.

"Miss Ruqing, do you taste this dried apricot?" Qingshan, who had no eyes, woke Xie Ruqing up with a voice, and Qi Yanzhi couldn't help but tilt his head and laugh when he saw that she was startled.

Xie Ruqing twisted a dried apricot with her fingers and put it in her mouth, the sweet taste instantly sobered her up, she was a little surprised, she didn't know if she had made a fool of herself just now.

Qi Yanzhi saw that she was bored listening to it, so he didn't have a match, and talked to her about the past as if chatting, he told the story eloquently without hurry, and he was very good at picking out the content to tell, which was very attractive, Xie Ruqing listened to it unconsciously.

After spending half a day in the teahouse, Mr. White said that it was time for them to go home. However, in the end, Xie Ruqing didn't succeed, because Young Master Qi was rich in his account, so he didn't need it at all.

Bai took other people's books and listened to the books in vain and ate refreshments, Xie Ruqing became more and more short-mouthed, so he bought some lo-mei on the road and gave it to Qingshan to take, so that they could add vegetables to dinner.

"Hey, this Ruqing girl is quite good at coming to things." Qingshan got what he loved to eat, and praised Xie Ruqing, almost praising people to the sky, "It's a pity that you don't eat these heavy flavors at night, so I have to ...... alone."

"Why do you talk so much nonsense?" Qi Yanzhi gave him a roll of his eyes, "Go to the kitchen and cook some white porridge and eat." ”

What? Qingshan suspected that he had heard the stubble, and their son-in-law actually took the initiative to eat these heavy-tasting things? Or at night?

He looked at the sun in the sky and said in his heart, "Didn't it set from the east?"

Xie Ruqing is also a porridge side dish at night, but she doesn't have lo-mei, she ponders Qi Yanzhi while eating, and it is comfortable to get along with him, this person is very knowledgeable, can talk and chat, and is very good at taking care of her emotions, he is a good friend, and if he lives together in the future, he should not be awkward.

Thinking like this, I felt more and more that it was qualified to find him to fake a marriage, so I stepped up my thinking about how to continue to "hook up" with Qi Yanzhi.

After that, Xie Ruqing had many "chance encounters" with people, reading books, eating tea, shopping and listening to books together, and they were happy, but she had more and more doubts in her heart, she suspected that Qi Yanzhi didn't seem to have that kind of idea about the original owner, and it was very likely that he also regarded her as a friend. This can't help but make her hesitate, since people don't have that kind of idea, how can they lure people to take the initiative to ask for marriage, can't she take the initiative to ask others to propose, or just pick out the contract and do business?

This matter is really difficult to do, Xie Ruqing has been thinking about it for a long time and has no clue.

It has been a while since Li Gongzi's incident, Xie Ruqing saw that the princess seemed to have signs of kissing her again, and she had no way to deal with it for the time being, so she had to go to the general's mansion to avoid it for two days.

On the day of leaving, he met Qi Zhiyuan again, he came out of retreat in the courtyard for a month, and he didn't see his sweetheart for a long time, and the prince began to be a demon again: "Ruqing, where are you going, I have leisure today, how about going out for tea together?" ”
