Qi Ling and Gu Jinfeng went home together, but they were not busy resting.

After all, that lotus fragrance is still picking flowers on the mountain, and the five-day deadline told the owner of the rouge shop is getting closer and closer, Qi Ling wants to make a batch of rouge gouache tonight.

She asked Gu Jinfeng to help her take the leftover Angelica Angelica, White Peony, and White Poria cocos last time and grind them with small stones.

Qi Ling himself took out a plate of wild jasmine seeds, and took out the small white germ little by little with small tweezers, this work was too meticulous, Gu Jinfeng would definitely not be able to do it.

A dining table, with a candle burning in the middle, the candlelight flickering, two people sitting at one end of the table, the early spring evening is still a little cold, but at this time both of them feel a little warm.

Qi Ling felt that just working would feel very boring, and he would be sleepy for a while, and then thinking about the time when he told Gu Jinfeng a joke today, he responded coldly, Qi Ling decided to tell Gu Jinfeng a joke to pass the time.

"Gu Jinfeng, I'll give you a joke!"

"Okay." is still a stuffy gourd Gu Jinfeng who cherishes words like gold.

Qi Ling thought about an ancient joke he had seen before, and then opened his mouth to tell Gu Jinfeng.

"There was a man who married a wife, and when the two of them were in the cave room, this man saw that there were a lot of wrinkles on her face, and asked her how old you are, and the woman said, forty-five or six, and the husband said, the marriage book clearly says that you are thirty-seven or eight, you and I are forty-five or sixteen, I think it is all nonsense, you tell me how old you are."

Speaking of this, Qi Ling looked at Gu Jinfeng, he was still pushing the small stone mill in his hand, and when he heard Qi Ling stop, he looked up at her and motioned for her to continue.

Seeing that Gu Jinfeng was listening carefully, Qi Ling continued to preach.

"Then this woman, said that she was actually fifty-five or sixteen, this man asked again and again, this woman was convinced, saying that she was fifty-five or sixteen, the man was still not at ease, thinking that she was cheating, but there was no way, so he said casually, you go to the kitchen and cover the salt shaker, I am afraid that the rats will steal it, this woman laughed when she heard it, and said that I have lived sixty-eight years old and have never seen rats steal salt to eat."

"Haha, you say it's funny, it's not funny." As soon as Qi Ling finished speaking to Gu Jinfeng, he laughed first on the side, and after laughing, he found that the expression on Gu Jinfeng's face had not changed at all.

"Don't you think it's funny?"

Gu Jinfeng shook his head and slowly opened his mouth: "How could this man marry her without inquiring about her actual age, and this woman is cheating on marriage, and she will be arrested and imprisoned in the government." ”

When Qi Ling heard Gu Jinfeng's words, he felt that he had nothing to say, just a joke, you are actually asking me for logic! Forget it, don't talk about it, he Gu Jinfeng and the joke are probably not related in this life!

Gu Jinfeng saw that Qi Ling didn't speak again, and was a little strange why she didn't continue to speak, "Why don't you talk about another one?" ”

Qi Ling complained silently in his heart: What are you talking about, you don't laugh when you talk about it, don't mention how embarrassing it is for me to laugh alone.

Suddenly, her mind turned, and she simply told Gu Jinfeng a cold joke, wanting to see how the cold Gu Jinfeng would react when he encountered a cold joke.

"Okay, I'll tell you another one, hahahahahahaha When that's the end of the story, guess what I just talked about? ”

Gu Jinfeng shook her head, didn't she just laugh for a while, what did she say.

Qi Ling said expressionlessly: "What I just said is called hiding a knife in laughter. After saying that, she herself was so cold by the cold joke she told.

Gu Jinfeng, who reacted, suddenly laughed, not the kind of smile that hooked the corners of his lips, but the kind that smiled with his eyebrows open, "Haha, this is funny." ”

Qi Ling once saw a sentence on the Internet, saying that people who never laugh look best when they laugh. She didn't believe it before, and felt that people who never laughed had their facial muscles stiffened, and they could see better when they laughed, but Gu Jinfeng proved that sentence was indeed right.

His smile was like just after winter, and overnight, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloomed, like a bright moon suddenly hanging in the dark sky, and there was light in an instant.

It's a little heartwarming to laugh at.

Qi Ling tried his best to suppress the strangeness in his heart at this moment, and said: "You are too strange, you laugh so happily at a joke that is not funny." ”

"Isn't this funny? I think it's funny. Gu Jinfeng still had a smile on his face, and the smile softened his cold outline a little.

Qi Ling saw that he liked to listen to cold jokes, so he began to tell him cold jokes again.

"Once upon a time, a mung bean suddenly fell to the ground, guess what happened to it?"

Gu Jinfeng shook his head, looking curious.

"It turned into a red bean because it fell to the ground and bled out."

"Hahahaha", Gu Jinfeng began to laugh again.

"And then it ......"

In the dark, the two of them were talking and laughing, and the excitement spread far away.

Hexiang saw that Gu Jinfeng didn't help her speak, and finally she could only go up the mountain to continue picking flowers, she knew that if she dared to go home empty-handed, in addition to no dinner, it would be another beating.

But she just wasn't reconciled! Why does Qi Ling just have to sit at home and rest, while she has to work from morning to night! Sooner or later, one day she will also have Qi Ling suffer like this!

Despite thinking so, Hexiang's subordinates didn't dare to slow down, and finally at the last moment when the sun set on the horizon, they filled one of the cloth bags, but Qi Ling asked her to fill three bags!

Hexiang looked around, she was the only one on the silent hillside, and a gust of wind blew, and she shivered, feeling a little scared.

Fortunately, there is a moon in the sky tonight, and the bright moonlight shines on the ground, and Hexiang can barely see the flowers under his hand clearly, so as not to pick the wrong one.

She was cold and hungry at the moment, feeling that everything she was doing now was caused by Qi Ling, but she didn't want to think about it at all, obviously she had to find time to be lazy in the afternoon, and what she was doing now was just what she should do.

But she has already gotten into a dead end, and she will only see all her misery as caused by others, which is the so-called "poor people must have something to hate".

When Qi Ling told Gu Jinfeng one joke after another, and when he was about to finish the inventory in his stomach, Hexiang finally picked all the flowers and came to her to ask for wages.

Before she walked to the door of Gu Jinfeng's house just now, she heard Gu Jinfeng's laughter from a distance.

It turns out that he can laugh too, but he never smiles at himself, and Hexiang feels a little bitter in his heart.

But Hexiang still walked into the house, put the three bags of flowers on the ground, and said to Qi Ling coldly: "I've picked enough flowers, now you can pay me the wages." ”
