After about eight or nine days, Jiang Zhiyuan's carriage was finally about to arrive in Wuxi. Wuxi is the transit station from Yangzhou to Suzhou, which can be described as a must-pass place.

Guo Xiaoxiao lifted the curtain and poked his head out and asked, "Jiang Feng, how far is it to Wuxi?" ”

Jiang Feng said: "Back to the eldest lady, it will take about two hours." ”

"Huh." Guo Xiaoxiao put down the curtain and sat back in the car.

"Didn't I already tell you?" Jiang Zhi went far away.

"Then can't I ask again?"

"Okay." Jiang Zhiyuan dragged out a long tail note, "You can do whatever you like." ”

After a while, he said again: "It's just that Jiang Feng is my person, and whatever I say is what I say." ”

"What do you mean?"

Jiang Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows and said, "What time did I ask him to arrive, but he could only arrive at what time." ”

"Hmph." Guo Xiaoxiao fell asleep in his seat.

After another half a mile, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Jiang Feng said: "Master, there is a girl blocking the way. ”

"What's going on?" Jiang Zhiyuan did not get out of the carriage.

After Guo Xiaoxiao heard Jiang Feng say a few words to the man, Jiang Feng said again: "Master, I am an orphan, I went to Suzhou to look for relatives, but I was stolen and entangled in the way, and I haven't eaten for a few days. ”

Jiang Zhiyuan said lightly: "Give some dry food and broken silver, and send her away." ”

"Yes."

Guo Xiaoxiao sat up, lifted the curtain and looked, Jiang Feng did what Jiang Zhiyuan wanted.

Jiang Zhiyuan saw that she looked melancholy, so he said, "What's the matter?" ”

Guo Xiaoxiao put down the curtain and sighed: "Ragged, hungry, homeless, a poor person." ”

Jiang Zhiyuan lowered his eyes, and said after a while: "It's better to pick her up." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao looked at him in astonishment.

"Didn't you say she's a poor person?" He said, "Just to give her a ride along the way." ”

"But I didn't let you pick her up."

Guo Xiaoxiao was a little angry, and he couldn't understand what he thought.

"Don't you think what I did was too arbitrary? And it's impersonal. ”

"Me." Guo Xiaoxiao was angry, and he didn't bother to argue, "Okay, okay, you can pick her up." ”

The girl was both surprised and delighted when she heard the men in the carriage arguing. Shocked and frightened, the owners in the car quarreled, and Jiang Zhiyuan said that he would take her to Suzhou with him.

The seat in the driver's seat of the carriage was already occupied by Xiaolan and Jiang Feng. Jiang Zhiyuan let the girl sit in the carriage.

Guo Xiaoxiao didn't say anything. The carriage was seated in three directions, and she, Jiang Zhiyuan and the girl happened to sit on one side.

The girl looked at Jiang Zhiyuan and Guo Xiaoxiao's clothes, which were all fine satin, and then looked at her coarse clothes and rags, and felt very embarrassed.

She opened her mouth as if she had something to say, but closed it again.

Jiang Zhiyuan noticed her restraint and said, "Relax, don't be too nervous." ”

"Yes." She bit her lip.

"Didn't I just have someone give you dry food? Take a few bites. ”

The girl smiled, pulled out the flatbread, and took a bite of it.

"What's your name?"

"Lee, Li Xiangcheng." It took her half a day to swallow these words.

When Jiang Zhiyuan nodded, she peeked at him.

The opposite of the girl happened to be Guo Xiaoxiao, and while she was eating, she didn't forget to look at Guo Xiaoxiao's clothes and makeup.

Guo Xiaoxiao saw that she was staring at herself, so he also glanced at her. I saw that the girl had no ornaments on her head except a wooden hairpin, and the two copper earrings on her ears could be seen to have been worn for many years. Secondly, the skin on his face is a little dull yellow, and the skin on his fingers is rough and calloused, so he knows at a glance that he is a child from a poor family.

As soon as the girl's eyes met Guo Xiaoxiao, she immediately retracted it, lowered her head, and showed a little cowardice.

Jiang Zhiyuan's expression was serious, as if he was saying to Guo Xiaoxiao: Don't be so indifferent to that girl.

Guo Xiaoxiao pursed his lips and turned his head to the side.

Finally arrived in Wuxi, and the atmosphere of the carriage was awkward and boring. Jiang Zhiyuan didn't speak, Li Xiangcheng didn't dare to speak, and Guo Xiaoxiao was angry and pretended to sleep.

Jiang Feng chose an inn called "Qingfeng Xulai" for a few people to settle down.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Guo Xiaoxiao jumped out of the car first, and Xiaolan hurriedly went to get the baggage. Jiang Zhiyuan followed closely, wanting to follow Guo Xiaoxiao's pace, but never thought that Guo Xiaoxiao would always be far away from him.

Especially after Li Xiangcheng followed Jiang Zhiyuan down, Guo Xiaoxiao didn't want to pay attention to Jiang Zhiyuan's performance became more and more obvious, she took Xiaolan and walked to the inn by herself, completely ignoring the people behind her.

After Jiang Feng and Xiao Er booked a room, Guo Xiaoxiao immediately went upstairs, not wanting to wait for them for a moment.

After Xiaolan and Guo Xiaoxiao entered the room, she gently closed the door, and when she saw Guo Xiaoxiao's angry appearance, she wanted to say it but didn't dare to say it.

One is afraid of misunderstanding the master's meaning, and the other is afraid that saying it will add fuel to the fire.

Jiang Zhiyuan took Li Xiangcheng to the second floor, and after thinking about it, it was most reasonable for Li Xiangcheng to live with Xiaolan. But Xiaolan originally lived with Guo Xiaoxiao, so it was convenient to serve Guo Xiaoxiao.

Of course, Guo Xiaoxiao is reluctant to share a room with Li Xiangcheng, but it seems unreasonable and not worth it to open a separate room for a girl picked up on the side of the road. Jiang Zhiyuan thought about discussing with Guo Xiaoxiao and asking her to accommodate Li Xiangcheng for a night.

He knocked on Guo Xiaoxiao's door and said, "Xiaoxiao." ”

"Who?" Guo Xiaoxiao asked knowingly.

"Me."

"Who are you?"

"Hey." Jiang Zhiyuan was a little angry, "Don't you know me? ”

"I don't know." Guo Xiaoxiao sat on the stool and replied.

Xiaolan watched from the sidelines and said softly, "Slave go and open the door." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao didn't say anything.

After Xiaolan opened the door, Jiang Zhiyuan saw Guo Xiaoxiao with his back to him. He walked up to her and said, "There's something I want to discuss with you. ”

"What's the matter?"

Jiang Zhiyuan hesitated for a while and said, "Miss Li has no place to rest tonight, I want her to stay with you and Xiaolan for one night temporarily." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao looked back at the door, and it happened that Li Xiangcheng was also there, so he was angry. Jiang Zhiyuan even took her with him!

Li Xiangcheng found that Guo Xiaoxiao glanced at her, so she hid behind Jiang Feng in fear.

Bitter tricks! Guo Xiaoxiao saw through her tricks at once. Jiang Zhiyuan couldn't see it, but as a woman, she was the most sensitive.

"I don't agree." Guo Xiaoxiao said, "Is it a lack of money?" It doesn't matter, open a separate room for her, and I'll pay for it. ”

"Are you just so intolerant of her?"

"Who says I can't tolerate her?" Guo Xiaoxiao looked up at him, "Didn't I open a separate room for her to make her more comfortable?" Young Master Cousin, am I not doing it right? ”

"Nope." Jiang Zhiyuan met her eyes, "You did the right thing." ”

He raised his feet and walked out of the room, and Jiang Feng said, "Master." ”

Jiang Feng didn't know what Jiang Zhiyuan meant.

Jiang Zhiyuan said: "The eldest lady said to open another room, didn't you hear it clearly just now?" ”

"Minions, let's do it."

After Jiang Zhiyuan went downstairs, Li Xiangcheng also followed.

Li Xiangcheng said as she walked: "Childe, am I making it difficult for you?" ”

"It has nothing to do with you." He said lightly.

"Although you don't say it, Xiangcheng also knows that you are unhappy with the eldest lady for Xiangcheng, and Xiangcheng is very upset."

"You just have to live in the room, you don't have to worry about other things."

"Yes." She smiled.

Guo Xiaoxiao sat in front of the window with his cheeks propped up, looking at the magpie outside in a daze for a long time.

Xiaolan saluted the teacup and said, "Miss, drink some tea to cool off." ”

"Put it there." Guo Xiaoxiao said lightly.

"Are you still angry about the matter of the young master?" Xiaolan asked.

"Nope."

"Then why are you depressed?"

Guo Xiaoxiao didn't answer, and asked Xiaolan: "You say, when did I become so small-bellied?" Even a homeless girl can't accommodate it. ”

"You're not a small-bellied chicken intestine." Xiaolan smiled, "In the heart of the slave, you are the most reasonable master in the world. ”

Xiaolan took out a folding fan from her baggage, opened it to fan Guo Xiaoxiao, and continued: "You are just jealous of love. ”

"Love is jealous." Guo Xiaoxiao put down his hand supporting his cheeks and hugged it in front of his chest.

Because he likes it, he can't tolerate other women to hang around him. However, she had a similar situation with Han Tianlei before, and when she saw Guo Qianqian and Han Tianlei teasing the parrot, she was also uncomfortable. What kind of emotion is it?

The difference is between momentary jealousy and eternal jealousy. Ever since Han Tianlei fell in love with Guo Qianqian, she knew that Han Tianlei couldn't like her anymore. It didn't take long for her jealousy of Guo Qianqian to disappear.

Now, Guo Xiaoxiao sees Li Xiangcheng's performance towards Jiang Zhiyuan, and Li Xiangcheng's eyes are full of admiration and liking. Whether Guo Xiaoxiao sees Li Xiangcheng or thinks of Li Xiangcheng, he will feel angry.

Xiaolan was still fanning her, she was holding her head in her hands, her elbows on the table and continuing to be in a daze.
