Chapter Eighty-Nine: I don't think I need to tell you
Gu Jingcheng collected the look on his face, he listened to Su Xiaomu speak, and for a moment he only felt mixed feelings in his heart.
After he finished the exam, and after the results came out in a few days, the two of them would go their separate ways, and they would never see her again.
But why is this so?
Obviously, she prepared so many things for him for his exam.
Let him take the exam in it and lack nothing, everything.
There were even some foods that couldn't be eaten for a while, not only dry pastries, but also some appetizing side dishes, which made him feel that he could be so happy in the exam for the first time.
It also allowed him to slowly eliminate the tension in his heart when he ate one bite after another of pastries.
She is very attentive and very good to herself.
But why does she look so good, she doesn't like him at all.
Although she stood beside him now, walking with him, her heart was thousands of miles away from him.
The more he put his mind on this, the more ugly his face became, and the more uncomfortable his heart became.
He didn't contain his emotions and asked.
"Why don't you take me to that little courtyard of yours? It's not that you're ready for all the ...... before I take the exam."
"Not all." Su Xiaomu flatly denied it, "I haven't had time to buy a lot of important things yet, and I'm staying in an inn these days." ”
Gu Jingcheng actually didn't believe what Su Xiaomu said, but after meeting her eyes, looking at the clear light inside, he couldn't say anything to question.
"Then I won't go."
The bad mood continues to creep in my heart.
The two of them walked side by side to one after the other, and the two of them didn't say a word, and the atmosphere suddenly became slightly awkward.
Su Xiaomu carried the burden in his hand and slowly grinded forward.
She guessed what was in the bag, and she walked for a while and looked up for a while, not looking at the road very carefully.
"Mrs. Su?"
Su Xiaomu heard someone calling him, raised his head and looked forward.
After seeing what the person who called her looked like, she instantly sobered up and forgot about guessing what was in her baggage.
Zhang ...... Uncle? ”
She took a few steps forward suddenly, blocking Gu Jingcheng behind.
Gu Jingcheng was blocked by her sudden movement, looked at her incomprehensibly, and then looked at Uncle Zhang.
"I thought I was wrong, but I didn't expect it to be Su Niangzi?
Why haven't you gone back to live in the past few days, but the child in my family has been talking about you, saying that Su Niangzi is beautiful and cooks deliciously, I wish you were our relative. ”
As soon as Uncle Zhang saw Su Xiaomu, he couldn't help but laugh happily.
He used to be a simple-looking person, who made people feel good easily, and now he is so kind.
Although Su Xiaomu was a little worried that he would tell Gu Jingcheng about the accident in the small courtyard before, he was embarrassed to care about her and praise her kindness, so he could only say.
"Let's wait a few days...... I'll go back when I'm free in a few days, and I'll invite you to dinner when the time comes. ”
"Okay, then I'll wait for Su Niangzi's craftsmanship...... By the way, who is this? ”
It was the first time Uncle Zhang saw Su Xiaomu walking with a man, looking at this man's dress and bearing, he didn't look like an ordinary person.
In front of me is the examination room of the imperial examination in the past few days, could it be the students of the imperial examination inside?
His Qingtian lord, this Su lady is so capable?
Can you have something to do with this kind of future master?
Thinking that the person standing in front of him would be the future official master, Uncle Zhang couldn't help but cramped up when he spoke: "Childe is a scholar? ”
"Hmm."
Gu Jingcheng bowed.
He glanced at Uncle Zhang lightly, and his attitude of talking to him was really not good.
A stranger he had never seen before, Su Xiaomu could talk to him so well.
The two of them should have only known each other for a long time, and they have already reached a relationship where they can invite each other to dinner.
Even though he had heard that this man already had a family just now, he still couldn't help but taste it.
His mood was not high, Su Xiaomu could feel it.
She was a little afraid that Uncle Zhang would be unhappy because of Gu Jingcheng's dissatisfaction, so she opened her mouth and planned to come out to play a round, but she didn't expect Uncle Zhang to care about these at all, but laughed heartily.
"It's a reader, right...... Scholars have a future, and they don't have to beg for a living in the city with no way out, like us. ”
"By the way, Mrs. Su, you said that it would take a few days to go to the small courtyard, but you want to take this son with you?
Since he is a noble person participating in the scientific examination, maybe you can let him go to the official mansion to find the official master and say.
Tell the officers and soldiers patrolling our street to be more careful, otherwise you are a weak woman, if you encounter what happened before......"
When Uncle Zhang thought of the scene a few nights ago, he was a little afraid.
Those ruffians and hooligans are all fierce and vicious, and it is really unlucky to meet a weak female streamer like Su Niangzi.
"What happened before?"
Gu Jingcheng was worried about the familiar relationship between the two of them, and he didn't want to take the initiative to speak.
But when he heard that Su Xiaomu seemed to be in trouble living outside alone, he immediately became a little anxious in his tone.
"But what danger did she notice when she was out there alone?"
"Huh? Didn't Mrs. Su tell this son?
A few days ago, she lived alone outside when a ruffian came to steal from the door and cut the big iron lock hanging at the door.
If it weren't for the fact that our family slept late that night, Mrs. Su was smart enough to run from the backyard.
Then today, the son may not be able to see Mrs. Su. ”
Uncle Zhang didn't expect Su Xiaomu to hide this matter from the son in front of him, and after he finished speaking, he saw her face full of embarrassment, as if he wanted to hide this matter.
Even Hanhan's head reacted that he had said the wrong thing: "Su Niangzi, I ......"
"It's okay, I just haven't had time to tell him yet."
"He and I still have some things to do, so I won't say more to Uncle Zhang, next time we have the opportunity, we will definitely invite Uncle Zhang to dinner."
After laughing awkwardly a few times, Su Xiaomu pulled Gu Jingcheng, who had changed his face, and ran to the corner.
"I didn't mean to hide it from you, I really forgot to tell you about it just now."
"And besides, I think this matter is over, and it's useless to talk to you again, but it will add to the troubles of the two of us."
"I'm already planning to find a servant who knows a little kung fu, and with him by my side to protect me in the future, things like that day won't happen again."
She knew that she would soon receive a large wave of cross-examinations from him, so she explained everything very well first.
After speaking, she said that this matter was actually not as serious and dangerous as Gu Jingcheng thought.
But Gu Jingcheng was completely different from her thoughts.
He didn't know about such a dangerous thing from her, but from the mouth of a passerby.
Even that passerby, in some ways, seemed to have a better relationship than the two of them.
The colder his face became, the more icy his eyes became.
"You've never been like this and don't take your safety to heart, you opened a store before, and now you live alone outside."
"Is it in your heart that everything in this world is not as good as what you earn?
Even your own safety is not as important as those copper-smelling things? ”
His speech was unpleasant, and she didn't have a good tone to talk back to him.
"You're right, I've always been such a person who treats money as life and everything else as dung."
"If you really don't like me, you can give me a piece of paper and a book now."
She was in a bad mood, and she didn't care that he just came out of the examination room today and needed to celebrate and smooth his hair.
She specifically picked out the words he didn't like to hear: "Is there a possibility that I don't want to talk to you about this because I don't feel the need to talk to you?" ”
