Chapter 157: A Reward for Zhixia
"This story has changed, and I don't know my own mother anymore." Gu Xiaoyou read a few chapters and complained.
She shook her head amusedly, and was about to put "King Cao's Girlfriends" back, but suddenly thought of something and took down the next volume on the bookshelf together.
"Wrap it up for me and put it on the books." Gu Xiaoyou put the two books on the counter and ordered.
"Yes." The guy answered and immediately packed it for her.
Gu Xiaoyou carried the packed books and left the book club briskly.
As the sun set, a carriage arrived at the mansion in the twilight.
"Miss, it's here." The coachman spoke, reached out and lifted the curtain open, hung it on the hook, and opened the car door.
Then the coachman put down the pedals of the carriage and waited respectfully.
The coachman did all this neatly, stretched out a white and delicate soft wattle from the carriage, and helped it on the door frame of the carriage, Gu Xiaoyou, who was combing his flowing cloud bun, poked his head out, revealing a beautiful and lovely little face.
Gu Xiaoyou stepped out of the carriage while carrying her skirt, and said, "I'll be home so soon today." ”
Zhou got out of the car from behind Gu Xiaoyou, stretched out his hand to help her, and replied with a smile: "There are few cars on the road today." ”
"Everything went smoothly today." Gu Xiaoyou said with a smile.
"yes, it's good to get paid today." Zhou thought of today's accounts, and finished the crescent moon with a smile in his eyes.
Gu Xiaoyou teased: "The business of the book club is good, why are you happier than me, the boss?" ”
"You just laugh at people, the book club has invested so much, can I not be happy." Zhou pinched Gu Xiaoyou's arm and said angrily.
"Ouch, Sister Zhou, how can you educate me like an educator now." Gu Xiaoyou pursed her lips and pretended to be aggrieved.
"You're naughtier than Liang'er." Zhou nodded the tip of Gu Xiaoyou's upturned nose and said dotingly.
"Hey, hey." Gu Xiaoyou winked playfully and grimaced at Zhou.
The two of them came to the main hall while laughing, and after having dinner with Liang'er, they went back to their rooms.
As soon as Gu Xiaoyou returned to the room, Zhixia greeted him and asked softly, "Miss is not working hard today, do you need a slave to pinch your shoulder?" ”
"Don't be in a hurry to pinch your shoulders first, help me prepare hot water, and I'll take a good bath."
Gu Xiaoyou commanded, and when Zhixia left, he put the paper bag packed during the day on the table, humming a little song and preparing to take a bath.
Soon the hot water was ready, Gu Xiaoyou changed his clothes through the screen, tested the water temperature, and stretched out his legs into the bathtub.
There were petals floating on the water, Gu Xiaoyou smelled the fragrance, leaned on the bucket in enjoyment, hummed a song comfortably, and poured water on his body from time to time.
When the bubble was almost over, Gu Xiaoyou called: "Zhixia, help me wipe my back." ”
"Eh, the slave is here." Zhixia seemed to have ears with a tailwind, and quickly appeared behind the screen.
She put jasmine-flavored pancreas on the loofah, and after making the loofah soft, she gently put it on Gu Xiaoyou's back to wipe her body.
"Miss, is this strength appropriate?"
"Good, wipe to the left." Gu Xiaoyou lay on the edge of the bathtub and replied comfortably.
"Yes." Zhixia answered, and wiped Gu Xiaoyou's back attentively.
Waiting for Zhixia to put down the loofah and wash his hands, Gu Xiaoyou took the water scoop by himself and slowly stroked the water on his body.
"Miss or slave, come on." Zhixia said softly.
"No, you don't." Gu Xiaoyou said casually, pretending to suddenly remember something, and laughed: "By the way, there is a paper bag on the table, you open it for me, and then bring it over." ”
"Yes, slave and maid will go." Zhixia answered, bypassing the screen and walking in the direction of the table.
Gu Xiaoyou listened to the sound of the paper bag being opened, quietly hooked the corners of his mouth, and deliberately urged: "Did you get it?" ”
"Got it, it's two books."
"Then come in."
"Yes." Zhixia quickly walked behind the screen with a book.
Gu Xiaoyou stroked the water on his body, raised his eyebrows and said, "Read it." ”
"Okay." Zhixia was a little surprised, Miss Gu suddenly opened her mind tonight, and called her everywhere.
Some were happy, and some didn't know why they opened the book, and Zhixia read aloud: "It is said that there is a big family surnamed Wang in Lingyun County...... There is an official in the county seat, surnamed Cao......"
Zhixia read and read, feeling that the names of the people in the play were very familiar, she didn't care about continuing to read, hurriedly flipped through the content behind, her eyes lit up, and she asked in surprise: "Miss, is this your previous story?" Are you talking about Miss Wang and Master Cao? ”
"Congratulations, you got it right." Gu Xiaoyou said with a smile.
"Miss, do you remember?" Zhixia asked happily.
"yes, the reward I promised you last time." Gu Xiaoyou replied with a smile.
"Thank you, miss." Zhixia looked at the book in his hand excitedly, thought of the next volume on the table, and asked excitedly: "The ending of the story is also out?" ”
"yes, in the next volume." As soon as Gu Xiaoyou's words fell, he saw Zhixia running towards the table with his skirt in his hand, and then he heard a few excited exclamations.
Gu Xiaoyou shook his head, got up from the bathtub and wiped his body with a hand towel, and as soon as he put on his middle coat, he heard a few hurried footsteps.
Looking back, I saw that Zhixia pulled the hem of her skirt crampedly, and looked at Gu Xiaoyou apologetically: "Miss, the slave maid is out of shape, and the slave maid is waiting for you." ”
"No need, you can read the book." Gu Xiaoyou pulled the hand towel and said while wiping his hair.
"Let the slave wipe your hair." Zhixia stepped forward to take the hand towel and skillfully wiped Gu Xiaoyou's hair.
"Okay." Gu Xiaoyou didn't refuse again, sat on the chair, and let Zhixia move.
Zhixia carefully wrenched Gu Xiaoyou's hair, took a comb from the dresser, and asked Gu Xiaoyou while combing: "Miss, the slave maid sees many things in the story that are different from what you wrote, have you changed it again?" ”
"I didn't change it, I just asked Mr. Storyteller to change it to a more acceptable language." Gu Xiaoyou replied.
"Oh." Zhixia replied thoughtfully, the movements of his hands did not stop, and he said for a while: "When you say this, the slave maid finds that this book is indeed easier to understand." ”
"That proves that they've done it successfully." Gu Xiaoyou smiled, seeing that Zhixia glanced in the direction of the table from time to time, he took the comb funny: "Okay, you go to read, I'll comb my hair and go to sleep." ”
Zhixia smiled shyly: "Thank you, Miss, the slave and maid retreated first." ”
Zhixia saluted Gu Xiaoyou, with a faint flush on his face, picked up the book from the table, and bowed to Gu Xiaoyou again before turning around and retreating.
"That's interesting." Gu Xiaoyou shook his head and chuckled, combed his hair, blew out the candle and lay down on the bed, and slept comfortably......
The next morning, Gu Xiaoyou slept soundly, and heard some rustling sounds in the room.
