Chapter 283: Revisiting the Old Place
There are two rooms on the left side, there are a few peach trees planted in front of the door, the green ones are growing wantonly in the rolling time of summer, so green that people feel that even the time is green, if you look carefully, you can see that between the green leaves, there are actually some surprising peaches, the peaches are not fully ripe, and they are as green as the green plums, but they are also attractive.
Yang Zhe took Mo Xiaoxiao to the door of a room, and said softly: "When you arrive, you can live in this room, I specially asked someone to clean it a few days ago, this room used to be loaded with goods, and no one has lived in it yet!" β
"Squeak...!"
The door was gently pushed open, and the sunlight that was originally shining on the faΓ§ade outside, swished suddenly, and ran into the house, and a faint fragrance rushed into the face, and I couldn't tell what kind of fragrance it was, but it would make people feel refreshed, and it would not be dull at all!
"Do you still like it?" Yang Zhe said softly, and opened the window for her again, and more sunlight slipped in at once, illuminating the room.
"I like it!" Mo Xiaoxiao nodded.
Mo Xiaoxiao cleaned up, and just sat down, Yang Zhe said again: "Find a time, we have to go over!" β
Mo Xiaoxiao was slightly stunned, and then pretended to be indifferent: "Where to go?" Didn't the dock just go over and see it today? Is there something going on over there? β
"No, there's my father on the dock there, and that's not what I'm talking about, you know that's not what I'm talking about!" Yang Zhe said with a serious face.
"And what are you talking about?" Mo Xiaoxiao pretended to be fine, and said lightly.
"You should go, you know what I'm talking about!" Yang Zhe smiled slightly, and when he walked to the door, he turned his head and said softly.
The next morning, Mo Xiaoxiao was still asleep when she was woken up by a knock on the door.
"Knock knock...!"
"Who? It's coming......" Mo Xiaoxiao looked sleepy, rubbed her eyes, and answered a few words casually outside the door.
"Xiao Yu, it's time to get up, I'm going to the dock, you don't have to go to a girl's house, you wait for me at home, you prepare for me to come back in the afternoon, let's go to He's house together!"
Yang Zhe's gentle voice came from outside the door, and Mo Xiaoxiao listened to his words and immediately woke up from his sleep.
Mo Xiaoxiao didn't speak, just sat at the head of the bed and didn't say anything, her eyes wandered, and her heart drifted into the distance with the ethereal clouds.
Mo Xiaoxiao stayed alone in that huge room, feeling bored, so she wanted to go out and have a look, there was no one else in the room except for an old woman cooking, and after talking to the old woman, Mo Xiaoxiao went out!
Mo Xiaoxiao was alone, walking and walking on the most prosperous street in Bizhou, she had been in Bizhou for a long time before, so she was relatively familiar with these terrains, and she would not feel unfamiliar.
Maybe I have always kept that memory in my memory, so I walked and walked unconsciously to the market where Mo Xiaoxiao first met Gu Qingshui.
Mo Xiaoxiao stood on the side of the road, quietly watching the people coming and going in the market, and the vendors who bought sundries were still shouting.
If it were you, even if you forgot all the memories, it was still the same familiar and unfamiliar place before, would you go in again, even if you knew that there were no old people there, just normal.
Mo Xiaoxiao didn't know what was going on, and saw the small shop again, which was a shop selling women's clothes, Mo Xiaoxiao clearly remembered that her acquaintance with Gu Qingshui was in that shop, even though they had now parted ways and become irrelevant people.
"Miss, come in and take a look, what kind of styles are available in our small shop here, many rich ladies and Mrs. Kuo have come to us to customize clothes!"
Before he knew it, Mo Xiaoxiao had already stepped into the house where he was buying clothes, but he had just walked to the door of the store when he heard the shouts of the small shopkeeper who was coming towards him.
"Well, I'll take a look!" Mo Xiaoxiao nodded politely.
The clothes in that room were still stacked together, all kinds of styles, colorful colors, piled up in the narrow cupboard, like peonies blooming thousands of reds, crowded in a small flower garden.
Mo Xiaoxiao was looking around, looking at all kinds of clothes, when suddenly two girls walked in.
"Boss, is the maternity dress customized by our young lady ready?" The woman dressed in colorful clothes said.
"It's done, it's done, I'll take it to you, you two, please wait a while!" The boss smiled and walked towards the warehouse.
Mo Xiaoxiao didn't pay attention to it, but the conversation between the two women successfully made Mo Xiaoxiao notice the two.
"We'll have to go and run for the young lady later, Madame wants to eat the osmanthus cake made by her mother, let's go quickly after we get the clothes, otherwise it will be too late later!"
"Well, but you're right, the Gu family is still a little far away from here, we still have to rush back, we really need to speed up the pace!"
"Alas, by the way, you said that there are so many senior chefs in our Situ Mansion, how can they not make this simple osmanthus cake!"
"What do you know, after all, our young lady has just married the young master, she must be a little unaccustomed, although she said that she wanted to eat the osmanthus cake made by her mother, but in fact, she was thinking of home!"
"But what's wrong with our eldest young master, she actually thinks about going home every day, today she wants to eat her mother's osmanthus cake, tomorrow she wants to eat her mother's osmanthus wine, don't you say she did it?"
"Isn't it, I've heard people say that the person she wants to marry is actually not our eldest young master, but it backfired, and she can be regarded as a poor person!"
Mo Xiaoxiao has been silently listening to the conversation between the two girls on the side, I don't know why, when she heard the words Gu family, her heart was particularly shocked, she thought about it, and always felt that the Gu family in the mouths of the two girls was Gu Qingshui.
Mo Xiaoxiao was thinking about it, but the owner of the shop suddenly came out of nowhere, and said to the two girls: "Two girls, the things you want are ready, two of you go slowly!" β
"Well, thank you boss, our young lady likes your custom-made clothes the most, maybe the next time I come to make clothes for our little master!" A girl took the dress and said with a smile.
"How do you know it's a little young master, what if it's a little young lady!" The girl next to her smiled again and said to the girl.
"I guessed!"
Mo Xiaoxiao stood in place and watched the two girls drift away, and the backs of each other laughing gradually blended into the crowd.
"Girl, look at it, my clothes here are all the latest, many young ladies and ladies like to come to us, although the price is a little expensive, but our quality is good, you can take a look!"
Mo Xiaoxiao was stunned in a daze, the boss's words suddenly disrupted her thoughts, Mo Xiaoxiao came back to her senses in fright, nodded and smiled awkwardly.
Mo Xiaoxiao wandered her gaze on the rows of hanging clothes, and suddenly remembered something, suddenly raised her head, and asked the boss: "By the way, boss, I want to ask, just the two girls who came to pick up the clothes just now, do you know whose girls it is?" I just look a little familiar. β
"Oh, you mean those two girls just now? I don't actually know whose girl it is. The boss shook his head and said lightly.
Mo Xiaoxiao was a little disappointed, nodded at the boss, and lowered her head again.
"But I really know who they're fetching the clothes for, and I'm familiar with them!"
Just when Mo Xiaoxiao was disappointed, the boss's words made her immediately surprised and happy, raised her head, and hurriedly asked, "You know?" Do you know who it is? β
"Of course I know, it's a frequent customer in my store, that Jiangcheng Gu family's eldest lady, Gu Qingshui, although Jiangcheng is not very close to Bizhou, but it can't be said to be very far, but that Miss Gu likes the clothes I make here, so my store's reputation is not casually said, you look at these styles, these fabrics, these colors, that one is not the best product!"
Listening to the boss's relish, Mo Xiaoxiao's heart was like being hit hard by something, so that her worried heart finally landed.
"So, then do you know what kind of clothes they are carrying, what I just heard them say, taking maternity clothes? Don't...... Could it be that she is already married? Mo Xiaoxiao's eyes widened, and she looked at the boss in disbelief, eager to know something.
The boss nodded and said seriously: "Well, you heard it right, it's a maternity dress!" That Miss Gu was married three months ago, and it seems that her husband's family is the son of Situ She, the former principal of Shuhua College in Bizhou City, Situ Zhaoyang. β
"It's him...... How could it be, didn't something happen to the Situ family, so how could the Gu family just ignore it and be willing to let the Situ family fall into the middle? Mo Xiaoxiao's expression instantly became serious and pitiful, and he said regretfully with an incredible look.
The boss looked around, and saw that no one was around and cautiously approached Mo Xiaoxiao's side, with a non-smiling look on his face, and said mysteriously.
"Little girl, you don't know anything, although this Situ family is now in the middle of the road in the eyes of outsiders, and the Gu family has nothing to do with themselves, but my grapevine says that this Situ family is just throwing bricks and attracting jade, and the Gu family is planning a grand ulterior conspiracy, maybe in the future, this Bizhou City, this dock business is the Situ family's monopoly, just like the He family back then, now the He family is like a spark, not growing, and not as depressed as before! This businessman is like a dragon and a tiger fighting, how can we ordinary people know about it! β
Listening to the boss's words, Mo Xiaoxiao was silent, her brows furrowed tightly.
"Girl, you can't talk nonsense about these things outside, it's just that we are talking nonsense in the streets and alleys, just listen to it, don't believe it!"
Mo Xiaoxiao nodded, bought a random piece of clothing in the small shop and went back, but her heart was very complicated.
