Chapter 40: Befriending
It turned out to be Miss Zhao. Su Jiu'er looked at Zhao Xiu'er without changing her face, and the corners of her lips hooked up with an arc of unknown meaning, "But I still have something to do with Xianggong today, so let's go back first." ”
Su Jiu'er turned her head to look at Gu Feng, her body unconsciously moved to his side, and then looked at Zhao Xiu'er with a smile on her face.
Zhao Xiu'er smiled and nodded, "I'll visit Sister Su in two days." ”
Looking at the back of Zhao Xiu'er leaving, Su Jiu'er frowned slightly, she didn't understand why Zhao Xiu'er leaned towards her.
"It's not too early." Gu Feng said, holding something and looking at Su Jiu'er.
Su Jiu'er smiled and followed.
Originally, Su Jiu'er always thought that Zhao Xiu'er was just talking casually when she came to her house, but she didn't want Zhao Xiu'er to appear at the gate of her house in a carriage in the early morning two days later.
"Sister Su!" Zhao Xiu'er was happily helped down from the carriage by Zhao Xiaoyu.
"Miss Zhao?" Su Jiu'er looked at Zhao Xiu'er with a smile, and her hand holding the door frame clenched unconsciously.
"What is Sister Su doing so politely, just call me Xiu'er." Zhao Xiu'er had a bright smile on her face, tilted her head slightly, and looked at Zhao Xiaoyu, "Don't hurry up and get the things." ”
"Yes." Zhao Xiaoyu bowed to Zhao Xiu'er, turned around and walked to the carriage, and walked to Su Jiu'er with a square plate, "Mrs. Gu, this is what my young lady prepared for you." ”
"No, you don't." Su Jiu'er didn't think that her relationship with Zhao Xiu'er was so good.
On the surface, Zhao Xiu'er is gentle and lovely, in the previous life, Zhao Xiu'er killed a lot of An Zeqing's concubines, and even An Zeqing's children were almost killed by Zhao Xiu'er.
Su Jiu'er cheered up her spirit, thinking in her heart to stay away from Zhao Xiu'er.
"What is Sister Su doing so politely?" Zhao Xiu'er said, took out the brocade box on the square plate, held Su Jiu'er's hand, and put the brocade box in Su Jiu'er's hand, "I saw that Sister Su didn't have any jewelry in her hand, so I thought about giving my sister a bracelet, I don't know if my sister still likes it." ”
The outside of this brocade box is wrapped in satin, and Su Jiu'er knew that the bracelet inside would not be cheap at a glance, so she hurriedly pushed it into Zhao Xiu'er's hand, "Miss Zhao's come to play, don't give these things, otherwise it will be too raw." ”
Zhao Xiu'er still wanted to push it to Su Jiu'er, but she heard Su Jiu'er say with a smile, "I'm already very happy that you can come and talk to me, if you bring something, I won't open the door for you again." ”
Seeing that Su Jiu'er really didn't want things, Zhao Xiu'er slowly put the things on the square plate in Zhao Xiaoyu's hand, stepped forward and held Su Jiu'er's arm cordially, "Then I'll listen to Sister Su and don't mention these vulgar things!" ”
Su Jiu'er smiled and invited Zhao Xiu'er to the house, and poured Zhao Xiu'er a glass of water by the way.
Zhao Xiu'er had never seen such a dilapidated house, and her eyes swept around the house, there was no furniture in this house at all, and she held a teacup to her lips.
"Sister Su, where did my brother-in-law go?" Zhao Xiu'er looked at Su Jiu'er with a smile, put the teacup in her hand on the table, reached out to take Su Jiu'er's hand, and asked affectionately.
"He goes up to the mountains to hunt on weekdays, and his family is counting on him." Su Jiu'er smiled, wondering what Zhao Xiu'er was trying to say.
As Su Jiu'er expected, Zhao Xiu'er spoke.
"Sister Su, I heard that you and An Xiucai grew up together?" Zhao Xiu'er lowered her eyes shyly, raised her eyes to look at Su Jiu'er, and asked softly.
"It's just that the two are close together." Su Jiu'er now understood what Zhao Xiu'er meant.
Originally, she had a marriage contract with An Zeqing, but now that she is married to Gu Feng, Zhao Xiuer came over to inquire about An Zeqing.
"It's me who lost my word." Zhao Xiu'er shook her head with guilt, and the pearl earrings in her ears shook, "Sister Su, don't blame me, I just listened to what others said." ”
"It's nothing, my father-in-law is afraid that he will be unhappy when he hears this." Su Jiu'er said with a smile.
"Then does Sister Su know what kind of girl An Xiucai likes?" Zhao Xiu'er looked at Su Jiu'er with a smile, her dark pupils were full of nervousness, "I just want to inquire." ”
"Well," Su Jiu'er pursed her lips slightly and hesitated, "I don't know either." ”
The smile on Zhao Xiu'er's face gradually froze, she looked at Su Jiu'er seriously, and said affirmatively, "Sister Su, don't laugh, they said that you have a good relationship with An Xiucai." ”
"But I'm not him, how do I know what kind of girl he likes?" Su Jiu'er smiled helplessly, pulled out of Zhao Xiu'er's hand, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "However, if you want to know what he likes to eat and what color clothes he likes to wear, I know some of this." ”
Su Jiu'er looked at Zhao Xiu'er with a smile and calmly, anyway, Zhao Xiu'er was going to marry An Zeqing, if she helped Zhao Xiu'er, maybe she would be able to hear An Zeqing's news at any time, and Zhao Xiu'er would let down her vigilance.
Zhao Xiuer is a scheming person, but she also has an advantage, that is, she values affection and righteousness, as long as she really wants to make friends with people, she will make friends with her heart.
Zhao Xiu'er's originally gloomy eyes lit up again, and she looked at Su Jiu'er expectantly, "Really? ”
Putting the teacup in her hand on the table, Su Jiu'er smiled and nodded, "Because our two families used to be close to each other, Aunt Wang sometimes went to work in the fields, so she let An Xiucai stay at my house, my mother often cooks for him, and I also knew about it unintentionally at that time." ”
Zhao Xiu'er felt a little apprehensive in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, "Then what does he like?" ”
Just as Su Jiu'er was about to answer, she heard footsteps outside, and through the open window, she happened to see Gu Feng walking in from outside.
"Wait for me in a while, my husband will be back." All of Su Jiu'er's eyes fell on the man outside, said to Zhao Xiu'er casually, and quickly got up and walked outside.
If Zhao Xiu'er was jealous because Su Jiu'er was able to stay with An Zeqing when she was a child, now that bit of jealousy has completely disappeared.
As soon as Gu Feng appeared, all of Su Jiu'er's eyes were on the tall and rough man, and Zhao Xiu'er was now completely sure that Su Jiu'er and An Zeqing had no personal relationship at all.
"Xianggong, why are you back?" Su Jiu'er walked up to Gu Feng and asked with a smile.
Gu Feng didn't answer Su Jiu'er's words, glanced back at the carriage outside the gate, and asked suspiciously, "Who is here?" ”
"Miss Zhao is here."
As soon as Su Jiu'er's words fell, she heard a bright voice behind her, "Hello brother-in-law." ”
Gu Feng's gaze stayed on Zhao Xiu'er's body for a moment, and then looked at Su Jiu'er, with a little warmth in his eyes, "I forgot to bring a knife, otherwise I wouldn't be able to handle the prey outside." ”
"I'll get it for you." Su Jiu'er said, turned around and went directly into the house.
The so-called knife is a dagger.
Su Jiu'er couldn't see blood, so Gu Feng could only use a knife to clean the prey by the river and take it home.
Zhao Xiu'er followed behind Su Jiu'er, saw that she took the knife, and hurriedly handed it to Gu Feng.
Looking at the rough and strong man with tenderness in his eyes, the smile on Zhao Xiu'er's face became even brighter, and she wondered in her heart whether Su Jiu'er would rob An Zeqing with her.
sent Gu Feng to the gate, until he couldn't see Gu Feng's figure, Su Jiu'er turned around and went back to the house.
When she saw Zhao Xiu'er behind her, Su Jiu'er was frightened, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm sorry, Miss Zhao, I just forgot that you were still there, I'm really sorry." ”
"It's fine." Zhao Xiu'er wished that Su Jiu'er was infatuated with Gu Feng, "You have a good relationship with your brother-in-law." ”
Su Jiu'er naturally understood what Zhao Xiu'er meant, and hung her head shyly, "I think I'm very lucky to be able to marry Xianggong, I'm afraid that there will be no better person in this world than Xianggong." ”
Nonsense, obviously An Xiu is the best, Zhao Xiuer secretly retorted, but the smile on her face was even brighter, "I also think that my brother-in-law is very good to you, and I see that you are very gentle." ”
Gentle?
The smile on Su Jiu'er's face paused slightly, "Xianggong is very good at taking care of people, when I came to menstruation, he didn't let me do anything, and said that I would just lie on the bed and rest." ”
Zhao Xiu'er also laughed, fantasizing in her heart that An Zeqing would also let her go to bed to rest when she had her menstrual affairs in the future.
"Let's go inside and sit down." Su Jiu'er said, followed Zhao Xiu'er and the two of them back to the house and sat down, "I remember An Xiucai said that he likes to eat sweet potatoes and likes to wear white clothes, but he thinks that white clothes are easy to stain, so he can only wear dark colors." ”
Zhao Xiu'er silently wrote down, "Sister Su, what kind of dishes does An Xiucai like to eat, I often send food to my brother, and my brother has a good relationship with An Xiucai, so I want to make a few dishes for An Xiucai that he likes to eat." ”
"It's good for us countrymen to fill their stomachs as long as they can fill their stomachs," Su Jiu'er sighed, "An Xiucai likes to eat light, and when he eats spicy food, he will have a stomach upset, so when he eats at my house, his mother will never put chili peppers." ”
"Oh." Zhao Xiu'er replied with some disappointment, she likes to eat spicy food the most on weekdays, so she can eat many more bowls, "Then what does he like to eat?" ”
Su Jiu'er put her hand on the table, supported her chin with one hand, thought for a long time, and shook her head slightly, "I can't remember, after all, we rarely talk, my mother said that men and women don't kiss, and when he came to the house, I basically didn't go out in the house." ”
"That's what my mother said." Zhao Xiu'er disagreed, Nunu, "But I think what she said is nonsense, and talking to a man doesn't mean anything, as long as you don't do anything out of line." ”
Su Jiu'er just smiled lightly and didn't say much.
"I heard my brother say that An Xiu was brought up by Aunt Wang alone?" Zhao Xiu'er looked at Su Jiu'er with a serious face and asked in a low voice.
Su Jiu'er nodded, looked at Zhao Xiu'er with a serious face, and warned, "Don't ask where his father went, he will be angry." ”
