Chapter 164: Angelica Angelica

The woman paused slightly at Gu Qinghuan's puzzled eyes, as if she realized that she had said something she shouldn't have said.

But soon, she smiled faintly: "That's the word of my hometown, used to address the elderly." ”

"That's ......"

Gu Qinghuan nodded as if she didn't understand, revealing a bright smile: "But here in us, we all call me sister!" Sister, give the bowl to my guard, you can come here to eat. ”

As she spoke, Gu Qinghuan asked the woman to sit on the chair behind her.

The tables and chairs over there were prepared by the Gu family for Gu Qinghuan, I was afraid that the young lady would not be able to stand the tiredness and would have to rest halfway, and now it was just for women.

When the woman heard this, she was a little hesitant, but she didn't want this bright little face to become dim when she looked at Gu Qinghuan's bright eyes.

So, she nodded: "Okay, thank you, little sister." ”

"You're welcome!" Gu Qinghuan smiled again.

What a laughing little girl.

It's so cute.

Thinking about this, the woman bypassed the soup kitchen stall and prepared to sit in the back.

At this time, Gu Qinghuan found that the woman was limping, and her legs and feet seemed to be inconvenient.

"Zhiqiu." Gu Qinghuan pulled the twelve or thirteen-year-old Zhiqiu next to him.

Compared with Gu Qinghuan, who is still a little small, Zhiqiu looks taller, she and Gu Qinghuan grew up, and they understood what Gu Qinghuan meant at a glance, and hurriedly went over to support the woman.

The woman was stunned, then smiled at Zhiqiu, "Thank you." ”

After speaking, she looked up again and smiled at Gu Qinghuan, who was busy giving porridge to the next civilian.

"My young lady is very nice, isn't she?" Zhiqiu said as if showing off.

"yes."

The woman nodded, "What a cute little girl, but ......"

In the last sentence, the woman's voice became smaller, and Zhiqiu didn't hear it.

"But what?" Zhiqiu helped the woman sit down and asked curiously, is there anything wrong with her young lady? How is this possible!

When the woman saw Zhiqiu's tense face, she smiled: "It's not a bad word...... I just want to say, it's too simple, and sometimes it's not a good thing, I'm just a passerby of unknown origin, so let me sit so close to her, what if I'm some dangerous person? Who can ...... such a close distance?"

Before she finished speaking, the woman felt a chill.

From Zhiqiu.

The woman was stunned, revealing a look of surprise: "So that's the case......"

Zhiqiu looked at the woman with sharp eyes for a while, and after confirming that the woman was a civilian who had been sick and weak for a long time and had no offensive power, the coldness in her eyes faded a little, but she still did not relax her vigilance.

"Don't look at me."

The woman took the porridge from the guard, and said unhurriedly: "I'm not dangerous, but the people in line over there are not necessarily, so stay by the little girl's side." ”

Zhiqiu glanced at her more, and suddenly said, "Who are you?" ”

This kind of talk doesn't look like a poor person who can't even afford to eat.

The Gu family is right to give porridge and do good deeds, but the Gu family will not tolerate some people mixing in to take advantage.

There were already many people who wanted to blend in before, but they were dragged away by the Gu family's guards.

This woman......

"Me?"

The woman held the spoon, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes, and she said in a trance: "According to the statement here, my surname is Bai Zhi, nine out of twenty this year, I am an orphan, nine years ago I married the man who saved me, who was also an orphan, and he died on the mountain three years ago in order to earn money to buy me medicine...... So now, I am a widow, living in the courtyard of the lake in Sanliu Lane, the imperial capital, where there is no other family except my house, if you are worried that I am here to cheat and eat and drink, go and check it...... It's okay to go into the house and look at it, anyway, the house is surrounded by walls, and there is nothing to hide. ”

Hearing the woman's self-deprecating words, Zhiqiu knew that she was not lying, but thinking too much about herself.

"I'm sorry." Zhiqiu said, she didn't expect this woman's background to be so pitiful, but she doubted the other party's origin......

It's just that this woman's conversation is indeed not like that of ordinary people.

Maybe it's a good experience.

Zhiqiu thought about it, and after talking to the woman, he returned to Gu Qinghuan's side, staring closely at the people who were close to Gu Qinghuan to receive the porridge.

"What were you guys talking about?" Gu Qinghuan asked curiously.

She had just vaguely heard the woman say a long word.

"The slave maid was just asking where the lady lived."

Zhiqiu said: "Her legs and feet are inconvenient, and the slave maid thinks that Miss may want to send someone to send her back." ”

"How do you know?" Gu Qinghuan showed a surprised expression, she really thought about it just now!

Zhiqiu smiled dumbly, because you are my young lady.

Miss is always so kind.

Whether it's someone close to you, or someone you don't know.

It's just that......

The woman was right, sometimes it's not a good thing to be too simple.

Thinking of Miss Tang who always came to Xihuan Courtyard to fight the autumn breeze, Zhiqiu was very helpless.

When will her young lady learn to guard against others?

"Guess."

Thinking about these things, Zhiqiu spoke to Gu Qinghuan, "Miss cares about that lady very much." ”

When Gu Qinghuan heard this, he smiled, didn't speak, turned his head and continued to give porridge to others.

The small hand grasped the wooden spoon, and scooped the white porridge with some effort, and one hand was not enough, so only two hands.

Zhiqiu saw Gu Qinghuan's hard work, and sighed lightly in his heart, Miss is only seven years old, doing these things......

Suddenly, Zhiqiu's thoughts froze, she thought of something, and turned her head to look at the woman over there who seemed to be drinking porridge slowly because of her weak body.

This woman just said she was nine out of twenty, right?

Count it up......

If Madame is still here, she would be about this age.

Zhiqiu was stunned, and looked at Gu Qinghuan beside him, a little sad.

Originally...... That's right.

……

After being busy for a while, Gu Qinghuan's tired hands couldn't be lifted, and Zhiqiu forcibly hugged her from the small bench who still wanted to continue.

Gu Qinghuan wanted to protest, but Zhiqiu said: "Miss, those people in line are waiting to drink porridge, you are too tired now, it takes half a day to fill a bowl of porridge for one person, and the people behind are hungry......"

Gu Qinghuan closed his mouth at this time.

Zhiqiu took her to the chair in the back and sat down to rest.

As soon as the woman finished drinking a bowl of porridge, she sat opposite Gu Qinghuan, saw Gu Qinghuan sitting down, and smiled at her: "Tired? ”

When Gu Qinghuan heard this, he hurriedly put away the tired look on his face, and shook his head with a smile: "I'm not tired!" I can still ......."

It's just that before she finished speaking, Gu Qinghuan felt Zhiqiu's resentful eyes, and she changed her words: "Sister, have you finished drinking the porridge?" Shall I have someone send you back? ”

"There's no hurry."

The woman said, "Everyone here is busy." ”

When she was drinking porridge just now, she was also looking at the people of the Gu family, everyone has their own responsibilities, and she doesn't want to trouble others.

"But if my sister doesn't come home early, the family will be worried, right?" Gu Qinghuan asked.
