"It's okay, just ask, you can prepare some food for him." Su Jinyao said, also looked outside, and said, "I just don't know if he is picky about our coarse tea and light rice here." Do you know who he is? ”

Xiuning listened and said in surprise: "Didn't you say it when you bought this house, is this the mansion of the young master of the Gu family?" Master, didn't you forget? ”

Su Jinyao asked again: "Then do you know what kind of family the Gu family is?" Perhaps, he will dislike our food here. ”

Xiuning listened, and first shook his head. Then he nodded and said, "Although Xiuning is lonely and unheard of, and he doesn't know what kind of family the Gu family is, but looking at the style of the Gu Gongzi, he knows that it must not be an ordinary big family." What's more, the shopkeeper of Feihongfang must be treated respectfully, let alone the (shēn) share of this son. ”

After speaking, Xiu Ning hurriedly explained: "I also think that the Gu family can't be offended, so I pay special respect." Master, I, I don't mean anything else. ”

"I know you mean nothing else. Forget it, ask him if he wants to eat it. "Su Jinyao didn't want to say anything.

She knew that Xiuning was a real girl, she didn't talk much, and she was measured. She is really special about Gu Shangqing, and that heart can be seen clearly from her eyes.

But Xiuning must also understand the gap between the two, it is estimated that liking is liking, and it is the same reason that modern little girls like to chase stars, so they don't care too much.

Coming out of the kitchen, Gu Shangqing was no longer in the garden. The water stains after watering the flowers on the ground were also swept away, leaving no dirty puddles. It can be seen that Gu Shangqing is still a diligent and clean person.

Su Jinyao went directly back to her room, she originally planned to catch a bird to deliver the news to Qiu Ying, but now it seems impossible.

Fortunately, Su Jinyao didn't leave a sign for Qiu Ying to meet before, and it is estimated that even if Qiu Ying came here and saw that there was an irrelevant man in Jasmine Garden, she would not show up.

It is more likely that Qiu Ying recognized this matter, and the eldest young master of the ancient family in the capital will secretly investigate to see what the intention of this eldest young master is when he comes out of the capital.

Therefore, Su Jinyao felt that Qiu Ying would not be summoned to meet today and tomorrow, and give Qiu Ying some time to check on this eldest young master of the ancient family.

Gu Gongzi disappeared again?

Xiuning's hands and feet were neat, and she made two side dishes eaten by Su Jinyao (ài) in a short time, the porridge was rock sugar red bean porridge, and the sugar was not much, but it just covered the fishy smell of the beans.

When it was delivered, the porridge bowl was placed in a large bowl with half a bowl of cold water, and the porridge was warmed so that it would not burn your mouth when you drank it.

Su Jinyao ate the porridge and asked, "Where is Gu Gongzi?" What does he mean? ”

Xiuning said: "I'm eating." I just asked, and he said that he wanted the same food as his master. But I don't eat much, and it is enough to say that a bowl of porridge is enough. ”

Su Jinyao frowned slightly when she heard this, and always felt that this Gu Shangqing was a little strange. He can eat whatever he wants, why does he have to emphasize that he is the same as himself?

Su Jinyao didn't want to mention Gu Shangqing again, and was ready to wait to see what was going on behind him. He asked, "Is my dad okay?" Is the wound on my eldest sister's face better? ”

Xiu Ning said: "The old man's legs are still the same, but he is just standing more stable than before." But looking at the meaning of the lord, it is still (tǐng) happy. I don't know about the eldest lady, I haven't seen her true face all the time, and she always wears a veil. ”

Su Jinyao knew that Su Fei'er still cared about her appearance, and it had only been a few months, and there might not have been a big change.

However, Su Jinyao brought a piece of Tai Sui back this time, and she was already thinking about reconcocting a pair of ointments for Sophie.

Xiu Ning said again: "These (rì) seeds, I see that the eldest lady is still learning to weave baskets with the master." It seems that I have learned embroidery, making clothes, and shoe soles with the aunts and sisters-in-law in the neighborhood, but I don't look so sad. It's just that you don't show your face, and it shouldn't matter. ”

Su Jinyao listened strangely, and asked some more about Sophie's (qíng).

Xiuning told Su Jinyao that when she got along with Sophie, she saw that Sophie was more diligent, the house was very clean, and she got along well with the neighbors around her, and she had been learning some small crafts (qíng) and told Su Jinyao one by one.

Su Jinyao didn't expect Sophie to change so quickly, but she felt that this was a good thing. At least Sophie has really grown up after this catastrophe.

After eating, Xiuning cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and asked Su Jinyao again: "Master, who has been in the dust all the way, do you want me to boil water for you and take a (rè) water bath?" ”

Su Jinyao originally wanted to take a pleasant bath, but after thinking about it, there was already an extra man in the family, and Suo (xìng) didn't want to wash it anymore.

It's not that Su Jinyao is feudal, it's that she feels uneasy, so she doesn't want to wash it.

Su Jinyao shook her head and said, "Forget it, I'm also tired, so I went straight to sleep." You bring me a basin of water, and I'll wash my feet. ”

Xiuning agreed, and went to serve water. After a while, he came back, and when he came back, he said to Su Jinyao: "Master, that ancient son is gone." ”

"What? Gone again? Su Jinyao really didn't understand this time, Gu Shangqing suddenly left the inn last night, it can be said that he didn't like it, so he ran back to see the flowers.

But tonight it suddenly disappeared again, what did you say? Could it be that you are full of food and go out for a walk?

Even if it's a walk, you should say hello, right? No matter how bad it is, should you hear the movement? But why did he go quietly again?

Su Jinyao said, "Let's go, let's take a look." ”

Gu Shangqing lived in the same room where Old Man Zhu lived before, and I didn't see any luggage he brought, but a new (chuáng) slip was laid on (chuáng).

But at this time, there was no one in the house (dàng) (dàng), and everything in the house was untouched.

If it weren't for the fact that there was an empty bowl on the table and two dishes that had eaten most of the dishes, it would have been as if no one had been in the room all along.

Xiuning looked at the bowl and said, "Gu Gongzi ate and left." Did you really go for a walk? ”

Su Jinyao shook her head and said, "This is a strange person, not something that ordinary people like us can understand." ”

Although Xiuning looked a little lost, she was still self-aware after all, and understood that she and the young master of the ancient family in the capital could not have intersection, so she left and left, and she had no reason to miss it.

Su Jinyao was sure that there was no one in the house, so her heart (qíng) was inexplicably relieved, and said, "It's better to go, I originally thought it was inconvenient for him to live here." Due to the contract, he had to be taken in. It's time to take a bath now, Xiuning, go get me some bath water. ”

Xiuning agreed, and by the way, he took the dishes and chopsticks on the table and left.

Su Jinyao stayed in the house for a while, but she still didn't find a reason why Gu Shangqing left suddenly.

It seems that this guy is used to (xìng) to play missing, and he is the kind that comes and goes without a trace.

Gu Shangqing left, did not return overnight, and there was no special movement.

At the beginning, Su Jinyao also paid special attention to the movement outside, and did not sleep very well, wanting to hear if Gu Shangqing came back secretly.

However, everything was as calm as ever, which made Su Jinyao feel that this Gu Shangqing was even more elusive.

Early the next morning, the first thing Su Jinyao did when she got up was to send a message to Qiu Ying and ask her to come over and meet as soon as possible.

Then she prescribed another prescription and asked Xiuning to grab the medicine for her, and she planned to dispense the medicine for Sophie before going over.

Xiuning went for a while, and when she came back, she said to Su Jinyao: "Master, the shopkeeper of Anhetang asked me if you are back." When I said yes, he said that Mr. Cheng, the big proprietor, invited the master to come over when he was free, and he was talking about the master's illness (qíng). ”

"yes, I see." Su Jinyao originally planned to go to Anhetang, but she may not have time today, so let's talk about it tomorrow.

Su Jinyao was about to dispense medicine, and Dongzi came. He is the guy assigned by Ma Liu to run errands for Su Jinyao, as long as Su Jinyao comes back, he will come over to listen to the errand.

Su Jinyao said to him: "You go and talk to Brother Ma Liu, you don't have to come over today, I have something to do." Just let him come over tomorrow after dinner. ”

Dongzi agreed, and told Su Jinyao about the white horse Moyun (qíng). He also said: "I arranged a stable for Moyun alone, and there is a lock on the wooden fence door, and I am the only one who usually does not allow others to approach. ”

Su Jinyao nodded and said, "Moyun is indeed not an ordinary horse, it has arrogance but also has (qíng) meaning, you take good care of it." ”

Dongzi naturally agreed repeatedly, and then went to send a message to Ma Liu.

Su Jinyao said again: "There is nothing else to do today, after you pass the word, you will do things on Ma Liu's side." Come back tomorrow and go out with me on errands. ”

Dongzi left, and Su Jinyao concentrated on dispensing medicine. This rejuvenation ointment is not so difficult to configure, not to mention that now that there is a large piece of Tai Sui, the effect must be extraordinary.

That is, after more than an hour of hard work, Su Jinyao prepared the ointment. She put the ointment into a delicate porcelain jar, called Shang Xiuning, and went with her to see Su Xiangui and Su Fei'er.

Go see my dad and my eldest sister

On the way, Su Jinyao went to the fabric store again and bought two (tào) clothes and shoes for Su Xiangui and Su Fei'er respectively.

After thinking about it, she picked out two silk scarves for Sophie, and deliberately chose the most expensive and best material in the store.

The silk scarf is not cheap in the past two days, but the workmanship is really good, as thin as cicada wings, and the color is gorgeous.

Then Su Jinyao asked Xiuning to buy a few fresh vegetables and some cooked food made of sauce, candied fruit and snacks, and carried them to the civilian area under the city wall.

I haven't been here for a while, and I haven't seen anything special here. But it seems that there are fewer permanent residents, and those who should have a little ability have all moved out of here.

Su Jinyao also thought about whether she should change to a better place for Su Xiangui and Su Fei'er to live?

But when I think about it again, Sophie's current condition is good, and she gets along happily with her neighbors on the left and right.

If they move out of here, they will only have a father and daughter, and they are not familiar with the people around them, so they will inevitably be autistic again.

I pondered all the way to the door of the house, and saw that this room was the best repaired in this old house, and the window lattices and door panels were also replaced with new ones.

Sophie was indeed sitting at the door of the next door as Xiuning said, sewing clothes with a sister-in-law.

In the past, in Pingshan Village, Sophie's needlework was not very good. She herself said that it was because her mother died too early and did not teach her well.

In fact, Su Jinyao felt that Sophie was a bit lazy and didn't want to do this.

However, Su Jinyao doesn't do needlework herself, so she doesn't have to pick on others for this kind of thing.

Now, I see Sophie sitting on a small bench, pinching the cloth seam with one hand, pinching the needle with the other hand and sewing carefully, and from time to time to see if the thread is crooked.

Su Jinyao stepped forward, and Sophie noticed that there was an extra person on the side, and when she looked up and saw that it was Su Jinyao, she was stunned for a moment, and then got up (shēn) and said, "Jinyao, you're back." ”

Listening to Sophie's tone, she was pleasantly surprised, and she was also very happy, and she was really happy that Su Jinyao was back.

Su Jinyao said: "Eldest sister, is your father okay?" I got home last night, so I didn't bother you. ”

"Well, I'm not afraid to bother, and I'm talking about my own family." Sophie said, Qi (shēn) put the clothes in her hand in the small dustpan next to her, and said, "Go back to the house." Then he called again: "Dad, Jinyao is back." ”

Su Xiangui heard Su Fei'er's voice and agreed repeatedly, and he could hear that he was very eager.

Su Jinyao hurriedly went into the room, and saw Su Xiangui standing at the table, holding the edge of the table with one hand and carrying a half-woven basket in the other.

Su Jinyao walked over and said, "Dad, how is your leg?" Sit down and I'll show you. ”

"Don't worry, sit down and rest first." Su Xiangui said, put down the basket in his hand and sat down, pulled Su Jinyao to sit on the chair next to him and lied to him, and said with concern: "After walking for so long, I look a lot haggard." Isn't it hard? ”

"It's not hard, it's all good, it's just that I've been to several places, and I'm in a hurry." Su Jinyao said, naturally pulling Su Xiangui's wrist and checking his pulse.

Su Xiangui didn't ask any more questions for the time being, taking advantage of Su Jinyao's pulse diagnosis, he looked her up and down with a smile, his eyes were full of kindness.

Su Jinyao is now a little conflicted about Su Xiangui's feelings (qíng), not so wholeheartedly as before, and always feels a little estranged.

But whether it is from Xiaocheng'er's side, or Su Xiangui's understanding of his (qíng) after experiencing this change, he feels that he can't let go.

Besides, Su Jinyao still has a feeling (qíng) about this "home". After all, she crossed over, which is equivalent to this home giving her warmth, making her completely abandon everything as a killer and become a brand new person.

Therefore, in Su Xiangui's kung fu of looking at her, Su Jinyao felt that the kind of separation caused by Zhou Cuilian before was a little lighter.

After diagnosing the pulse, Su Jinyao lifted Su Xiangui's trouser leg again, looked at the current condition of the calf muscles (ròu), and then said: "Dad, your leg is really recovering well, it seems that Mr. Cheng is very attentive." And you're exercising very well, and the muscles (ròu) in your legs are already starting to bounce (xìng). ”

Su Xiangui said: "Yes, I really want to thank Mr. Cheng." He would come every three days to give me acupuncture and medicine, and no matter how windy or rainy, he would definitely come when the child arrived. I also exercise every day and don't dare to let up at all. ”

Su Jinyao said: "As long as the muscles (ròu) in the legs start to recover, they will get better faster." After speaking, she asked Xiuning to bring over the things she bought, and said, "Dad, I went out on the road this time, and I didn't pay attention to any specialties in various places, so I bought two (tào) clothes for you and my eldest sister when I came back." ”

"Oh, I'm not an outsider, how can I go out and come back and see someone outside to buy something." Su Xiangui said, asking Su Fei'er to pour water for Su Jinyao.

Sophie smiled and said, "Dad, you said that Jinyao is not an outsider, and you still asked me to pour water for her?" This is her own home, won't she drink it herself? ”

Su Jinyao felt warm when she heard this, so she said, "Yes, not only do you have to pour water and drink it yourself, but you also have to cook and eat it yourself." I bought some groceries and after a while I cooked them myself. ”

Sophie was actually joking just now, but at this time, she poured water over, put it in Su Jinyao's hand, and said, "I'll cook." Xiuning can help me. These (rì) children are also thanks to Xiuning's care, they come almost every day, and she also helps with cooking and cleaning up the house. ”

Xiuning smiled when he heard this: "This is as it should be, the master explained when he left, let me take good care of the master and the eldest lady." Moreover, I didn't actually do anything, the eldest lady was diligent (tǐng), and there was nothing for me to do. ”

Su Jinyao smiled when she heard this: "Why is everyone still humble and polite?" Isn't this home? How does it feel like a chamber of commerce, everyone sits together and treats each other (tào), not all untrue, it's really awkward. ”

As soon as Su Jinyao said this, everyone present laughed.

Su Jinyao took out the small porcelain jar with the ointment again, and said to Su Fei'er: "Eldest sister, go to your room, and I'll show you the wounds on your face." It's a freshly formulated medicine, I'll put a little bit of it on you. ”

Sophie agreed, and went to her hut with Su Jinyao.

Sophie's hut is in a small room opposite Su Xiangui, which is made of single-layer mud and straw walls, and at first glance it is not the original pattern, it should be a partition made later.

The house (tǐng) is simple, and beyond a small board (chuáng) is a small standing cabinet with a single door, and two wooden boxes stacked up in the corner, and that's it. Not even a small table or chair.

After Su Jinyao entered the house, Su Fei'er said, "There is no chair, let's just sit on the chuáng and talk." ”

Sophie's gift

Su Jinyao looked at such a simple hut and said, "Eldest sister, why don't you buy a dresser or a decent table and chair?" ”

"There are usually no guests, and setting up a table and chairs still takes up space. Dressing table...... No, I don't wear makeup. Sophie smiled awkwardly and reached out to remove the veil from her face. The scars on his face were revealed.

Su Jinyao knew that although Sophie looked much more cheerful than before, the scar on her face couldn't be faked.
