Chapter 38: Impressive
"I took the liberty to visit." Zhao Xiuying carried a small snack box, put it on the square table and opened it, "I dragged someone to buy some candied fruit, I don't know if Miss Gu likes it?" ”
There are a total of nine compartments in the food box, and each small grid is filled with bright and transparent dried fresh fruits, which are fragrant and fragrant, Gu Qingyi suddenly spoke with relish, and said happily, "This is Su Fangzhai's candied fruit?" ”
Zhao Xiuying smiled, her delicate face was gentle and kind, and with a little bit of the joy and cunning of the little girl's family, her attitude suddenly became affectionate, as if she had found a like-minded close friend, and even changed her title, "Sister Gu is really a fellow practitioner, and the candied fruit of Su Fangzhai in Beijing is delicious, and my previous monthly money is not spent on this." ”
Gu Qingyi's eyes flickered, and she remembered the old thing, "I like sweets since I was a child, but my grandmother ......"
Her voice stopped abruptly, her expression was sad and sad, Zhao Xiuying was surprised in her heart, Gu Taifu lost her mother at a young age, where did Gu Qingyi come from?
"Sister Gu?"
Gu Qingyi came back to his senses and smiled reluctantly, "I'm sorry, I remembered an elder who couldn't meet anymore, and I made you laugh." ”
Zhao Xiuying guessed that it was probably a family secret, so she didn't ask any more questions, and quickly changed the topic, "Sister Gu, there are sweet dates, peaches, and grapes here...... You taste it, and it's still not the original taste. ”
Gu Qingyi took a sweet jujube and put it in his mouth, the taste was still the same, but he couldn't taste the sweetness of the past anymore. It's just that Zhao Xiuying was looking at her expectantly, and she had to boast, "It's delicious, thank you Miss Zhao." ”
"Sister Gu doesn't have to be polite, if you don't dislike it, just call me sister." Zhao Xiuying's face flew with a flush, and she pushed the candied fruit towards her, "This is what I bought with the money I earned from embroidering a handkerchief a few days ago, and I should apologize to Sister Gu." ”
Gu Qingyi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered Zhang Xinya's words a few days ago, and suddenly felt guilty in her heart, although the Taoist was Zhang Xinya, but she also believed it, and now she was taken out of her original form by this box of candied fruit, and it seemed that she was a despicable villain who was in the belly of a gentleman.
As a century-old shop, Su Fangzhai's candied fruit is not cheap at all, and the monthly money of the Bofu maid can only buy a box, not to mention Zhao Xiuying, who was sent to the nunnery.
"Sister Ying is too outward, you give me bandages and candied fruit, in the end, I take advantage of it, you don't have to keep the little thing about the coat in mind."
"The year before last, my eldest sister got a light yarn, I envied it for a long time, and a few days ago I saw the coat by the stream, so I was blinded by the lard, and I quietly took it back and hid it, but it was my sister yours." Zhao Xiuying's expression was downcast, but she showed a relieved smile, frank and sincere, "Sister Gu is magnanimous, I can't distinguish between right and wrong, if I am wrong, I must apologize." ”
Gu Qingyi couldn't help but look at her with admiration, and continued to talk to her, only to find that Zhao Xiuying was also a good learner, and she was able to write poems and songs, as well as a subset of scriptures and histories, not to mention the female workers of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting that everyone was good at.
After chatting freely, Gu Qingyi couldn't help but sigh, "Sister Ying's talent has been wrongly cast for her daughter." ”
Zhao Xiuying covered her mouth and snickered, "Isn't Sister Gu praising herself?" ”
Gu Qingyi was stunned, and smiled again when she reacted, isn't it, being able to talk to Zhao Xiuying very happily proves that she herself is also involved.
"I just found out that Sister Ying was also a narrow ghost."
