Chapter 54: Care without expecting anything in return

After Guo Xiaoxiao finished using the medicine, he went to Lilac Lane for a follow-up.

Her eyes peeked at Yuan Shaocheng, but Yuan Shaocheng was still expressionless, taking the pulse without distraction.

"Have you been sleeping well lately?" He asked.

She was stunned and smiled, "Okay, much better." ”

This time, he didn't write a prescription to catch the medicine, but walked to the medicine cabinet himself to grab the medicine himself.

Guo Xiaoxiao looked around: "I'm tired of Dr. Yuan, but fortunately, there are not many people today." ”

Yuan Shaocheng handed the medicine bag to Guo Xiaoxiao and said softly: "Sister Ling needs to take the medicine according to the prescription, don't take more in a hurry." ”

She raised her eyes, thought for a while and said, "I don't know, what Doctor Yuan said?" ”

"She is the young lady of the Han Mansion." He made a small calculation, "It's seventy-one cents in total." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao was shocked, but his face was very shocked, and he called Xiaolan to pay.

"What's wrong with her?" Guo Xiaoxiao asked.

"No disease." He said while looking for money, "It's a happy event." ”

Da Zhe wanted to speak, but he caught a glimpse of Yuan Shaocheng always speaking halfway, which showed that Yuan Shaocheng should be reluctant to say it directly. Da Zheng also closed his mouth.

Guo Xiaoxiao lowered his eyes and thought about it, and took Xiaolan out of the pharmacy. She thought to herself, at Guo Qianqian's age, Yuan Shaocheng said that it was a happy event, probably because she had a body.

Yuan Shaocheng didn't know what the private relationship between Guo Xiaoxiao and Guo Qianqian was, so he only revealed one or two words.

She lowered her head and smiled, after careful calculation, Guo Qianqian has been married to the Han Mansion for half a year, and she should indeed be happy. If you don't have a body all the time, that's a strange thing.

walked to the door of Guo's mansion like this, and was just about to enter, when he suddenly heard a shout behind him.

"Xiaoxiao." The sound seemed to come from far away.

Guo Xiaoxiao turned around and saw Jiang Zhiyuan running towards her. It had been last month since she lost her temper with Jiang Zhiyuan before.

She said she wouldn't go to Jiangfu, so she really didn't go again.

He was angry and annoyed, he hadn't seen her so trustworthy in other things on weekdays.

He also heard that a young son had come to the Guo Mansion and lived in the Guo Mansion for several days. Master Guo and Mrs. Guo had no intention of driving people away, so he was a little worried.

If the uncle and aunt fall in love with that son, Guo Xiaoxiao is old again, how can there be any reason not to marry! So he hurried over to check on the situation.

Xiaolan looked at the situation and said with a smile: "Miss, the slave maid will go in first to decoct the medicine for you." ”

"Hey." Guo Xiaoxiao couldn't stop Xiaolan, and said angrily: "Look at it, even Xiaolan helps you." ”

"Xiaolan is your maid, and it's for your sake that she helps me, isn't it?"

Seeing that she didn't speak, he said again: "I heard that there is a Lu Gongzi in the family. ”

"Hmm." She nodded.

"How long is he going to stay?"

"How do I know!"

"You know that. Otherwise, wouldn't you just ask your uncle and aunt? ”

"I don't ask. When I asked, it seemed that I hated people and wanted to send them away as soon as possible. ”

"No, that's not what I asked you to ask. I'm thinking, it's not good for men to be unmarried, women to be unmarried, and to be under the same roof every day. ”

"Huh." Guo Xiaoxiao pulled down his face, "You don't know well now?" Miss Hai has lived in your house for so long, why didn't you know at that time? ”

"They came with my brother." He explained.

"Lu Gongzi also has a sister, I went back and asked my father to write a letter and ask his sister to come and live together, isn't this justified?"

"You, you're a strong word!"

Guo Xiaoxiao pursed his lips, looked at the sky, and said, "It's almost lunch, do you want to go in?" ”

He didn't speak, and she said again: "I asked Anan to prepare a meal for you, and if you don't come, I'll take it to feed the chickens." ”

She raised her feet and entered Guo's mansion, he pursed his lips and smiled, and followed in.

He said in his heart, this girl, although she speaks coldly, but this heart is still hot.

Mr. Guo was boxing in the backyard, and Mrs. Guo was sitting on the side embroidering. The second elder was having fun, so he didn't invite him to eat together.

Guo Xiaoxiao asked Anan to prepare a meal and put it in the octagonal pavilion in the backyard. When the two arrived, the meal was hot.

Jiang Zhiyuan looked at the leaking wind around him, and said, "It's cold outside, let's go to the house and eat." ”

"The air outside is good, not stuffy." She said.

"That's fine." He sat down.

Guo Xiaoxiao poured him a glass of wine: "It's just called Anan Re, try it." ”

"Well, good wine!" He looked with relish, "You have such a good wine hidden in your house, why did you bring it to me today?" ”

"I don't know which ones are good, but I just got a jar from the kitchen."

Xiaolan smiled on the side: "Yes, Miss got twenty years of wine as soon as she took it." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao glanced at Xiaolan with disgust. Jiang Zhiyuan listened to Xiaolan's words, and his heart suddenly felt a little warm, just like the stove on this table, adding warmth to this cold winter.

At this moment, a man walked towards the Octagonal Pavilion with a gentle step.

"Wine and food, why don't you call me!"

Guo Xiaoxiao looked in the direction where he spoke, and saw Lu Dongyang lift the curtain in the corridor and walk over, with a spring breeze smile on his face.

"Third Brother Lu!" Guo Xiaoxiao got up to greet Lu Dongyang.

Lu Dongyang saw Jiang Zhiyuan at a glance, and the two met their eyes and did not speak.

Guo Xiaoxiao said: "I saw you out of the house this morning, thinking that you should have lunch outside, so I didn't call you." ”

Lu Dongyang looked at Jiang Zhiyuan and asked, "Who is this?" ”

Jiang Zhiyuan didn't get up, waiting for Guo Xiaoxiao's introduction.

"Oh, this is my aunt's cousin, surnamed Jiang."

Lu Dongyang arched his hand and said: "Jiang Gongzi! ”

Jiang Zhiyuan got up at this time and arched his hand: "Young Master Lu." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao looked at the atmosphere a little embarrassed, and said, "Sit down, otherwise the food will be cold." ”

The three of them sat down, and Guo Xiaoxiao poured a glass of wine for Lu Dongyang.

Lu Dongyang saw the stove on the table and said: "This thing is a novelty, I heard that the Hu people like to eat with a hot pot, but I didn't expect to see it in Guo's mansion today." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao explained: "It was cold in October, and I was worried that the food would cool quickly, so I told Anan, but she actually came up with this method. ”

"Anan is a smart man." Lu Dongyang picked up the cup, first sniffed it, then took a sip, and said with a smile, "This taste is really unique, it's a little ...... The smell of lilacs. ”

Guo Xiaoxiao's heart trembled when he heard this.

Jiang Zhiyuan said: "This is obviously a daughter red, how can there be any taste of cloves!" ”

"No, no, no." Lu Dongyang took another sip, "This is the taste of cloves, Jiang Gongzi will taste it carefully and observe it carefully." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao held his breath, worried about whether Lu Dongyang knew something. Lilacs, is it an allusion to the one in the pharmacy? But she didn't have any dealings with him, and she had eaten two meals and talked a few times, so she should ...... It's not a transgression.

However, this is not the case with Jiang Zhiyuan. If he had known that she had been in a private relationship with the man at the drugstore, he would have been unhappy. Moreover, the previous Yuan Shaoyin sent sachets and gave them privately, so she was afraid it would be difficult for her to explain clearly.

Jiang Zhiyuan looked at Guo Xiaoxiao and said, "Since the two of us can't tell the real from the fake, then let Xiaoxiao taste it." She doesn't usually drink alcohol, and she must know best what it tastes like. ”

"Okay." Lu Dongyang looked at Guo Xiaoxiao, took the flask from the small stove of hot wine, and poured a glass for Guo Xiaoxiao.

"Taste it." Jiang Zhi went far away.

Guo Xiaoxiao put his hands together on his knees, lowered his head and did not speak.

She knew that Lu Dongyang had something to say, and she insisted on saying that this wine had the smell of lilacs, that is, to remind Jiang Zhiyuan that it was not he Lu Dongyang who had a relationship with her, but the one from Lilac Lane.

Jiang Zhiyuan only knew that there was a Lu Gongzi in Guo's mansion, and he was worried that Guo Xiaoxiao and Lu Dongyang had a close relationship, so he came to Lu Dongyang in a hurry; didn't know that there was another person who had a close relationship with Guo Xiaoxiao.

Jiang Zhiyuan threw the problem to Guo Xiaoxiao, and Lu Dongyang also wanted to hear the truth of this party, so he pushed the boat down the river and poured wine for Guo Xiaoxiao, insisting that she say it herself.

"This wine is hot." Guo Xiaoxiao whispered.

She said to herself, there is no overly close relationship at all, what kind of heart do I have! Although she was so strong for herself, for some reason, she didn't dare to look into Jiang Zhiyuan's eyes.

"Then wait a while before drinking." Lu Dongyang looked at her and said softly, "The food is going to be cold, let's eat the vegetables." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao picked up the rice bowl and chopsticks, and ate with his head down. Jiang Zhiyuan watched her move the chopsticks, so she moved the chopsticks.

Lu Dongyang was unbridled and ate very freely. A gust of wind blew up the roller blinds in the hallway, adding another layer of fallen leaves in the backyard.

Lu Dongyang put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "The wine should be ready to drink at this time." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, slowly put down the dishes and chopsticks, and picked up the wine glass for a while, for some reason, her fingers trembled a little.

Although Lu Dongyang noticed her abnormality, he didn't say anything, and watched her bring the wine glass to her mouth.

Guo Xiaoxiao was very hesitant, this feeling of being persecuted made her at a loss, so uncomfortable that even her face changed a little. She took a breath and opened her mouth to pour the wine down.

At this moment, Jiang Zhiyuan suddenly said: "Don't drink it, this wine is cold." ”

Lu Dongyang smiled, picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all, and then said: "This daughter is really powerful, I'm a little drunk, I want to go back to the room to rest first, the two of you use it slowly." ”

Lu Dongyang got up, smiled helplessly at Guo Xiaoxiao, and left the Octagonal Pavilion.

Guo Xiaoxiao picked up the rice bowl and choked the rice, but he was choked and couldn't help coughing.

Jiang Zhiyuan immediately poured her a cup of hot tea: "Eat slowly, no one will rob you." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao took the teacup and took a big sip so that he didn't cough. She looked at Jiang Zhiyuan, he always cared about her so much that he was even anxious when she choked on dinner. This kind of care, which does not require reciprocal returns, makes her feel guilty.

So even if she didn't do anything out of the ordinary, even if she just had a few meals and talked to the one in the pharmacy, it was a sign that she was sorry for Jiang Zhiyuan.

But doesn't she have the right to make friends? The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and Xiao Xiao Shaocheng should be like this.
