Chapter 7: Meeting Old Friends
Gu Xizhou has been avoiding Xu Nanfeng for the past few days, and the cause of this incident can be traced back to two days ago.
It was a very sunny day, Gu Xizhou planned to go to the private school to discuss some things with Master Gu, and when he walked to the courtyard of Xu's mansion, he happened to see a few children circling around the big tree in the courtyard.
When he got closer, he found that there was a kite hanging on the trunk, with a helpful attitude, Gu Xizhou performed light skills, and took the kite down in an instant, which caused the child to applaud again and again.
Xu Nanfeng was originally yearning for the rivers and lakes, in the past, he only saw the so-called light work description in the book, but now he finally met it in reality, and this person is still the eldest brother she just recognized, it is difficult for her to be excited.
So she admired Gu Xizhou even more! chased after Gu Xizhou every day, hoping that Gu Xizhou could teach her some kung fu, and Gu Xizhou avoided her before.
It's not that Gu Xizhou doesn't want to teach her, it's just that this martial arts practice doesn't happen overnight, how many people start learning it from a young age, and it's just that they are just proficient.
Xu Nanfeng is following Shopkeeper Zhang out today to learn to talk about business.
This guest is a native of Yuzhou, and he likes to listen to operas, so they made an appointment to talk about business in the garden of Ran Opera. Sure enough, they talked very smoothly, and the other party agreed to buy a thousand embroidered handkerchiefs with novel patterns from the Xu family embroidery workshop.
This is the first time Xu Nanfeng has seen the shopkeeper Zhang talking about business with others, and it is also the first time she knows that there are so many ways to talk about business, she secretly decided that she must study hard, try to learn as soon as possible, and be able to take charge of herself.
When the group of them was walking downstairs to go out of the opera garden, Xu Nanfeng suddenly found that Gu Xizhou was eating tea downstairs and listening to the play.
"Shopkeeper Zhang, I saw an acquaintance, you go first! I'll go over and say hello! ”
"Okay! Miss! Then I'll go first!
"Okay! See you later! ”
After Xu Nanfeng saw the shopkeeper Zhang walking farther and farther, he walked towards Gu Xizhou with great interest.
"Big Brother !!"
Gu Xizhou was originally drinking tea comfortably, eating fruits, and tasting plays, and the whole person leaned comfortably on the back of the chair, when he suddenly heard a familiar cry, he couldn't help but shake the whole person, choked on the tea, and coughed several times.
"Hah! What a coincidence! Gu Xizhou wiped the corners of his mouth with some embarrassment.
"Yes! I just happened to be talking about business with Shopkeeper Zhang here today! I just happened to see you, so I came over to say hello to you! ”
"Really? What a coincidence! Gu Xizhou touched his nose a little unnaturally.
"Big brother! I heard from my master that you are teaching children martial arts in the capital, can you teach me too! I'm really interested in martial arts! ”
"Teach children martial arts?" Yes, I teach children martial arts! Gu Xizhou suddenly found that he couldn't refute it at all, if one day his master came back and found that his apprentice was just teaching children to practice martial arts, he didn't know if he would be angry.
"Nanfeng, I'll tell you the truth! What about you, now that the bones have grown almost together, it is difficult to learn martial arts, you are a girl and don't learn this, besides, I will return to the capital in two days, and I can't teach you anything! Gu Xizhou replied with some embarrassment.
"Okay!" Xu Nanfeng nodded with some disappointment, she herself knew that this was a little unrealistic, she just wanted to have the mentality of giving it a try, maybe she was a martial arts wizard, hey!
"South Wind!" Gu Xizhou was a little overwhelmed when he saw Xu Nanfeng so disappointed, so he opened his mouth and comforted: "Am I not your eldest brother?" If someone bullies you in the future, you will come to me in the capital, and I will help you teach him a lesson, okay? ”
As he spoke, Gu Xizhou handed over a piece of jade pendant on his body, "This, I didn't prepare anything, this jade pendant is given to you, as a return gift for the last time you gave me something, you can use this to find me in the capital in the future!" ”
Xu Nanfeng took the jade pendant from Gu Xizhou's hand, which was a jade pendant with a green body, and the word "Qi Fan" was engraved on it.
"Fan?" Xu Nanfeng looked at Gu Xizhou suspiciously.
"This fan is my word." Seeing that Xu Nanfeng was puzzled, Gu Xizhou explained.
"You don't have to call me every day, it's a little weird to be honest, just call me to fan in the future!"
Not many people know the word fan, and it is convenient to call it.
"Okay! Open the fan! I will accept this jade pendant, and after a while, I will drive the embroidery workshop to the capital, and I will look for you, you are not allowed to pretend that you don't know me at that time! Xu Nanfeng took the jade pendant and said half-jokingly.
"Drive the embroidery workshop to the capital?" Gu Xizhou asked with some surprise.
"Yes! I want to be an inspirational businessman, and opening the embroidery workshop to the capital is the first step! ”
"To be an imperial merchant? Why don't you go through the back door with me? Gu Xizhou said to himself a little funny.
"What?" Xu Nanfeng looked at Gu Xizhou with some doubts.
"Nothing? I'm sure you can do it, and when the time comes, don't forget me! ”
"Of course! We're brothers! Saying that, Xu Nanfeng patted Gu Xizhou's shoulder excitedly.
Gu Xizhou helplessly looked at Xu Nanfeng who was trying to pat him on his shoulders on tiptoe, this girl really doesn't understand the love between men and women! I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing? It's just that if you like her in the future, you will definitely be tired! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but gloat a little.
In the future, Gu Xizhou couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought of today's incident, he never thought that it would be him who was tired......
Three days later, Gu Xizhou returned to the capital, and when he left, Gu Fuzi cried, secretly crying, but was seen by Xu Nanfeng.
Xu Nanfeng has always been a little confused why Gu Fuzi didn't stay in the capital, what Yang Cheng was doing all the way away, she was alone, if she would definitely stay with her family, she wouldn't be alone!
Zhou Chuchu's parents went early since she was a child, and she has been living in Xu's mansion. Two years ago, Mrs. Zhou set a good family affair for her, and Zhou Chuchu will get married in a few days.
Zhou's mother grabbed Xu Nanfeng, who was not very homely, and went to pick out some rouge jewelry for Zhou Chuchu or something. What to say to learn in advance.
Xu Nanfeng has never been very interested in these rouge gouaches and things, and he wandered around the shop helplessly.
How long has it been, why haven't my mother and cousin chosen yet! She was hungry, waiting and waiting, Xu Nanfeng couldn't stand it anymore, pulled Zhou's mother's clothes and said softly: "Mother! I am hungry! I'll go out and buy some food and I'll be back in a minute! Is it good? ”
At this time, when Mrs. Zhou was hesitating whether to ask for a glass hairpin or a golden step, she was interrupted by Xu Nanfeng, and said without looking back: "Go!" Go ahead! Come back early, don't take the plane to run! I'll have to pick out some clothes with your sister later! ”
"Oh!" Xu Nanfeng was a little helpless, is her mother a roundworm in her stomach? How did you know she was going to slip away?
Finally leaving the jade shop, Xu Nanfeng stretched comfortably, there was a stall selling wontons not far in front, she came with Gu Xizhou last time, although this is a small stall, but the wontons are a must.
Xu Nanfeng found a place to sit down, "Uncle, a bowl of wontons!" ”
"A bowl of ravioli," another voice said.
"What a coincidence! There's only one bowl left in this ravioli! Two of you? The stall owner couldn't help but say with some embarrassment, looked at Xu Nanfeng for a while, and looked at the man in front of him for a while.
"Why don't you have half of a person!" Xu Nanfeng opened her mouth to answer, she was really hungry, and she was reluctant to give up like this.
"Childe? Do you think it's feasible? The stall owner looked at the man in front of him carefully, afraid that the other party would not agree.
"Good! Then do what the girl said! As he spoke, the man sat down opposite Xu Nanfeng.
Xu Nanfeng watched the other party sit down at her table, and couldn't help but smile friendly at the other party.
The man looked at Xu Nanfeng's face and was a little stunned, then thought for a moment, and then exclaimed: "Nanfeng! Xu Nanfeng! ”
"Huh?" Xu Nanfeng looked at him carefully, why did she think this person was a little familiar? Where have you seen it?
"Me! Qin Zifeng! ”
"Qin Zifeng!!" Xu Nanfeng stood up in surprise, "No! Aren't you a little fat man? How did you get thinner? ”
Qin Zifeng couldn't help laughing, "How long has it been!" I've already lost weight, okay? ”
"Hey! Yes! We haven't seen each other in almost five years! Xu Nanfeng couldn't help but smile.
"Not really! I remember when you were leaving! Did I cry secretly? I also told my father that I was going to Zhiyuanan to practice, but my father was so angry that he hung me up and beat me! ”
"Hahaha! Nice, interesting! ”
"It's been so long, why are you still like this, you don't look like a girl!" Qin Zifeng looked at Xu Nanfeng and said helplessly.
"Oops! It's not that you don't know that I've been like this since I was a child, and I can't do that twisting and pinching! ”
Speaking of this, Xu Nanfeng was a little annoyed, it was okay in Zhiyuan Nunnery before, the masters didn't pay attention to these, but when they answered the family, their mother was chattering every day, but she was annoyed, and the only one in the family who agreed with her was her father, but her father was far away in the capital and couldn't help her at all.
"Yes!" Qin Zifeng propped his head and looked at Xu Nanfeng with a smile on his face. "You're too, you're all back, why don't you come to me! Still not friends! ”
"Am I not busy? I have to learn to manage the embroidery workshop now, and I don't have much time to touch the ground every day! Xu Nanfeng touched her cheek a little embarrassed, this is one reason, and another reason is that she almost forgot about Qin Zifeng.
It's no wonder that she hasn't seen her for so long, so naturally she forgot a little, not to mention that they were still young before, and they had some new friends, and they forgot about the delicious and fun things they had agreed on.
