Chapter 21: Sir
Gu Yi whispered in Yi Qi Wanxi's ear: "To be honest, I think your sister is much cuter than you." When he said this, he raised his eyes to meet the cold gaze of Si Yu not far away, so he smiled at the corner of his mouth, quickly looked away, got up slowly, walked past Yi Qi Wanxi, and walked to the few foreign ladies sitting and chatting on the left.
Yi Qi Mancao didn't know what Gu Yi said to Yi Qi Wanxi, I saw that her face became ugly in an instant, and she couldn't help but be a little worried, glanced at Gu Yi who was leaving, and then looked at Yi Qi Wanxi, and wanted to ask something, but was patted on the shoulder, and a gentle voice came into Yi Qi Mancao's eardrum: "Vine grass." ”
Yi Qi Mancao was startled, quickly turned around, and immediately smiled: "Ah, Mr. Qiu! ”
Yi Qi Wanxi looked up at the man, couldn't help but be stunned, got up and looked at the woman who looked at her in the blink of an eye, the woman looked no more than twenty years old, with a pair of white stiletto heels on her feet, wearing a well-fitting white cheongsam embroidered with pink plum blossoms, her hair was slightly curly, and she pinned it gently on her right shoulder with a hairpin. The face was fair and gentle, and the face was soft, which made Yi Qi Wanxi think of "Jiangnan Woman". Xu is because of the glasses, and the apricot eyes with single eyelids look very beautiful.
"Third sister, this is my English teacher." Yi Qi Mancao pointed at the woman with both hands and introduced Yi Qi Wanxi with a smile.
Yi Qi bowed slightly to the woman: "Hello." ”
"And this is what I mentioned to you, sir, my third sister, Yi Qi Wanxi." Yi Qi Mancao pointed at Yi Qi Wanxi with both hands, still smiling.
The woman bowed slightly to Yi Qi Wanxi and said, "Qiu Yu." Then he raised his eyes and looked at Yi Qi Wanxi, with a gentle smile on his face, "I have admired the name for a long time, Third Miss." ”
Yi Qi looked at the gentle woman in front of her indifferently, and saw her looking back at Yi Qi Mancao, her voice had a magnetic voice unique to a mature woman, and her tone was gentle like a spring breeze: "It's more temperamental than I imagined." Qiu Yu said this, looking at Yi Qi Wanxi, still with a gentle smile on his face, "It's my honor to work with such a beautiful woman, but I always feel that there will be some pressure." ”
"Working together?" Yi Qi Wanxi frowned slightly.
"Miss Three, don't you know?" Qiu Yu showed slight surprise.
Yi Qi shook his head gracefully, and Yi Qi beside him said, "Ah, I haven't told the third sister yet." ”
Yi Qi Wanxi looked at Yi Qi Mancao with a puzzled expression, and happened to meet her gaze, Yi Qi Mancao explained: "It's the job that my father found for the third sister." Seeing that Yi Qi Wanxi was still puzzled, she said, "Go to Peicheng Girls' School as a teacher." ”
"Teacher?" Yi Qi was silent for a moment, and suddenly chuckled, "Do you want me to be a teacher?" ”
"Isn't the third lady willing?" Qiu Yu asked.
"Of course not, gladly." Yi Qi smiled gracefully, and her tone was so serious that it was frightening, "It's just such a sacred profession, I'm afraid that if I can't do it well, I will mislead people." ”
"The third lady is so good, how can she mislead people's children?" Qiu Yu said with a smile.
"Actually, I don't know much." Yi Qi Wanxi didn't know how to answer, so she replied politely, "And I'm not ready." ”
Yi Qi Wanxi didn't lie, she really wasn't prepared. Yi Qi Wanxi thought about being a teacher, but she didn't think that she would become a teacher, because she knew that she was not suitable. Xu is the reason why the teachers Yi Qi Wanxi met are all highly qualified people, in Yi Qi Wanxi's cognition, teachers are very sacred professions, and they must have enough rich experience and profound knowledge to be worthy of being a teacher, and they are worthy of the "sir" of others. But I'm far from qualified.
"Third Miss is really humble." Qiu Yu said, "Sure enough, the more excellent people are, the more they think they can't do it." ”
Yi Qi Wanxi didn't know how to answer, so she didn't speak, and turned her head to look at Yi Qi Mancao.
Yi Qi Mancao met Yi Qi's graceful gaze, smiled slightly, and looked resolute, as if telling her, "Third sister, you are the best."
Xu felt encouragement from Yi Qi Mancao's eyes, and Yi Qi felt a little relieved. Then, Qiu Yu and Yi Qiwanxi talked about the profession of "teacher" in detail.
Yi Qiwan thought that Qiu Yu must be a good teacher, because she is so gentle and patient.
After listening to Qiu Yu's introduction to this profession, Yi Qi Wanxi felt that she could. Listening to Qiu Yu, being a teacher is actually very easy, not as difficult as I imagined, and the profession of teacher is not as far away as I imagined.
So, Yi Qi Wanxi set a time to take office. After chatting about work, Yi Qi Wanxi noticed that the melodious music echoed in the hall, and in the center of the hall, a group of people danced to the music.
Yi Qi Wanxi saw the tall and familiar figure at a glance, he was wearing a well-fitting black Western-style dress, and he was holding a blonde woman in a gorgeous silver-white dress. I don't know what the blonde woman said, but the handsome face with an expressionless face suddenly began to laugh, the smile was very shallow and short-lived, but it touched Yi Qi's heartstrings.
But Yi Qi Wanxi didn't look at Si Yu for a moment, because Yi Qi Mancao next to him had a little temper again. Yi Qi Wanxi glanced at the bulging Yi Qi vine grass, and then looked at the crowd, and saw Sinan and Chen Ru dancing, so she knew why Yi Qi vine grass was angry. Xu is Qiu Yu is still here, and Yi Qi Mancao just looked at the two of them angrily, and did not complain or be angry.
Yi Qi smiled helplessly, raised her eyes to look at Qiu Yu, who picked up the dessert on the table to eat, and said, "That...... Sister Qiu, if there is nothing else, we will leave first. Because Qiu Yu is four years older than Yi Qi Wanxi, and she will be a colleague in the future, Qiu Yu said that if she didn't dislike calling her Sister Qiu, Yi Qi Wanxi would call her so.
"Huh?" Qiu Yu raised his eyebrows lightly, showing doubt, "Are you going back so soon?" ”
"Hmm." Yi Qi smiled lightly, and reached out to pull Yi Qi Mancao, who was still staring at Sinan, "Because there are still some things to deal with a little." ”
Yi Qi didn't say what was going on, and Qiu Yu didn't want to ask, so he showed a little regret and said, "Okay......" Then he showed a gentle smile, his tone was still gentle, "You pay attention to safety." ”
Yi Qi nodded with a smile, and then pulled Yi Qi vine grass and walked out quickly. Yi Qi Mancao came back to his senses, although he was a little puzzled, he still waved his hand at Qiu Yu with a smile: "Goodbye, Mr. Qiu." ”
Qiu Yu nodded lightly at Yi Qi Mancao with a gentle smile, and also waved his hand at her.
Looking at Yi Qi's back, Qiu Yu's smiling eyes were a little more strange.
Out of the door, Yi Qi Wanxi let go of Yi Qi Mancao's hand and walked to the front of the car. The driver of the car saw her, got out of the car and opened the door for her. Yi Qi Mancao shook off the wrist that was a little painful grabbed by Yi Qi Wanxi, and pouted slightly coquettishly: "Third sister, why are you in such a hurry to come out?" ”
"Not again." Yi Qi said gracefully and got into the car, "I'm afraid you'll go up and fight with someone." ”
"How so." Yi Qi Mancao followed into the car and spoke with some dissatisfaction.
After making sure they were both seated, the driver closed the door and returned to the front to start the vehicle.
"So we're going back now?" Yi Qi Mancao looked at Yi Qi Wanxi.
Yi Qi was stunned for a moment, and then asked her jokingly, "Do you want to go back?" ”
"Whatever." Yi Qi Mancao said, her words concise, but she was still angry at Yi Qi Wanxi for pulling her out.
Yi Qi Wanxi knew that Yi Qi Mancao was angry, and she also knew why she was angry. Yi Qi Wanxi thought that it was just because she made her have less time to be jealous, so she was angry, so she didn't coax her, and half-jokingly: "Then let's go back." ”
Yi Qi Mancao glanced at Yi Qi Wanxi angrily, and wanted to say something, but he only snorted lightly, and then looked out of the car window angrily.
Yi Qi glanced at her, couldn't help but smile, and also looked out the window. Looking at the street outside the car window, Yi Qiwanxi's figure appeared in Si Yu's mind, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared unconsciously.
Both of them looked out the window, both with their own hearts, and there were no words along the way. I don't know how long it took, the car stopped, and the driver's sentence "Miss Three, Miss Four, it's here" made Yi Qi Mancao come back to his senses. Yi Qi Mancao looked at the somewhat unfamiliar environment and asked Yi Qi Wanxi, "Where is this?" ”
"Don't you know when you get out of the car?" Yi Qi said gracefully, opened the car door and got out of the car. Seeing this, Yi Qi Mancao also got out of the car.
Yi Qi Mancao followed Yi Qi Wanxi, and followed her through the crowd into a jewelry store that looked like a certain age. In such a prosperous place, such a store is actually inconspicuous and easy to overlook, but the store has an endless stream of customers.
"Third Miss." The middle-aged man wearing a dark red horse coat with dark stripes at the counter saw Yi Qi Wanxi, and hurriedly walked through the crowd with a charitable smile to greet him.
"Shopkeeper Liu, are you ready for what I want?" Yi Qi Wanxi glanced at the man in front of her with a gentle smile and asked.
"Eh, that's done. I'll go get it to you. Shopkeeper Liu said, hurriedly bypassed the counter to the inside, took out a wooden box with exquisite workmanship from the shelf, and put it on the counter, "Third Miss, this is what you want." ”
Yi Qi stepped forward and was about to raise his hand to open the wooden box, when he heard Yi Qi vine grass next to him reveal a curious voice: "What is this?" ”
"A gift for you." Yi Qi said gracefully, opening the box, which was covered with golden flannel cloth, and on top of it were two delicately crafted Hetian jade daisies the size of fingernails. The daisy has a small hole in the middle, and wears a red bracelet strung with white crystals, a dark orange agate through the center of the daisy, and a dark orange agate at each end of the bracelet.
"It's beautiful." Yi Qi Mancao sighed from the bottom of his heart.
Yi Qi Wanxi took out the bracelet from the box, turned around and put it on Yi Qi Mancao's hand, and when she tightened the elastic knot for her, Yi Qi Mancao suddenly asked, "Why did the third sister give me a gift?" ”
Yi Qi Wanxi raised her eyes slightly to look at her, only smiled indifferently, but did not answer, after putting it on for her, she turned to face Shopkeeper Liu, took out a money bag from her bag, dragged it in her hand and handed it to Shopkeeper Liu: "Hard work, this is the final payment." ”
Shopkeeper Liu took it with both hands with a smile, opened the money bag and glanced at it, closed it again, looked up and said to Yi Qiwanxi: "Thank you, Third Miss." Shopkeeper Liu paused, and said, "What kind of hard work, it is Liu's honor to serve the third lady, and if the third miss still needs anything in the future, Liu is willing to serve the third miss again." ”
Yi Qi nodded at him with a slight smile and said, "Thank you, we'll leave first." ”
"Slow down, two." Shopkeeper Liu said, came out of the counter, and sent the two to the door.
The sun is fading, the sky is getting darker, the breeze is getting cooler, and the figures of the two are fading away in the crowd. Yi Qi Wanxi didn't know that behind them, Shopkeeper Liu stood at the door and watched them for a long time until he disappeared around the corner. And Liu's eyes are full of complex emotions, with pity and disdain.
