"This is the South Sea pearl I got."

Lou Qi didn't know that Su Xiaomu was complaining about him in his heart at the moment, he also took out a wooden box for Su Xiaomu like a trick, and opened the box like a treasure, and there was a pearl as big as a child's fist lying inside.

"This is my caravan that happened to follow the caravan from the south, I think this is very suitable for you, Pearl Jiaobai, it is Su Niangzi."

"I do still like this thing, so it's better to deduct the money for this pearl from the money you haven't given me yet, and I paid you to buy it."

Su Xiaomu picked up the pearl from the wooden box and played with it with love.

Not to mention, such a big pearl is round and white, and every inch grows on her aesthetic point.

Whether it is taken home as an ornament or inlaid on the crown, it is extremely rare and rare.

"Do you and I have to settle the calculations so clearly?" Lou Qi was helpless, "Aren't you and I friends?" If you give a gift between friends, why care so much about the value. ”

"It's because they're friends that they have to understand better." While admiring the beauty of the pearl, Su Xiaomu replied to his words, "It is useless, and the value of this thing is not as ordinary as you said, if you don't take my money, I won't dare to take such a valuable thing home." ”

Su Xiaomu has to spend his own money to buy the things he likes, and what others give is floating clouds, not to mention that it is given by a man.

"Well, that's what you want."

The two of them chatted for a while on the topic of pearls, and Su Xiaomu had other things to do in the afternoon, so he left with pearls in the estimated time.

She walked on the front foot, Lou abandoned on the back foot, Su Xiaomu didn't meet Gu Jingcheng who came to the restaurant with him, Lou Qi bumped into him face to face.

"Why are you here?" Gu Jingcheng frowned as soon as he saw Lou Qi, he was slightly physiologically unwell, "Are you with Xiaomu?" ”

Gu Jingcheng's heart couldn't stop sinking, he was going to the capital to prepare for the Spring Festival, and before leaving, he wanted to see Su Xiaomu again, it was best to talk to her.

That night was his bad attitude after all, and he wanted to meet Su Xiaomu to say sorry to her, even if she might still be as unwilling to accept his apology as before.

But these days, Gu Jingcheng has already figured it out in his heart.

He likes Su Xiaomu, in all the past years, he really has a heart for her, and he only likes her alone.

The feeling of liking a person is different from the feeling of liking to read, Gu Jingcheng likes to read because reading can change his fate, and he can make the family live a good life in the future through reading.

But he likes Su Xiaomu, but he only thinks about himself, in order to let him live a good life.

Although he knew, Su Xiaomu didn't like him.

But people always have to learn to persevere, he is willing to spend time on Su Xiaomu, and he is willing to wait for her to like him as much as he likes her.

But this kind of thought, when Gu Jingcheng saw Lou abandonment, slowly cracked.

"Su Niangzi and I naturally have the two of us to talk about here, I didn't invite you, and the two of you didn't come together, so you are following Su Niangzi."

There is always an ability between men to instantly detect each other's true intentions, Lou Qi looked at Gu Jingcheng with interest, and did not let go of every inch from head to toe.

His eyes swept over his knees, and Lou Qi said: "Your legs are good, you can continue to participate in the Spring Festival, but even if you can participate in the imperial examination as you wish, it is not so easy for a poor student to get ahead, speaking of which, I just gave Su Niangzi a pearl today, although the price of a pearl as big as a fist in the South China Sea is not very expensive, but with your meager money in the future, how many years will it take to afford it?" ”

Su Xiaomu was not there, and Lou Qi and Gu Jingcheng were of course the least favorite words to hear.

They people in the Western Regions don't have a good impression of Gu Jingcheng, a person from the Central Plains who is dedicated to the imperial examination.

Poor students, they study just to get ahead and change their fate, how much do they really like what is written in the book? Not necessarily.

Especially like Gu Jingcheng, most of his studies rely on the women in his family to earn money to support a large family.

"What does it matter to you how I live in the future?" Gu Jingcheng clenched his fists and returned to the building in a cold voice, "Even if you have thousands of family fortunes, you are still not allowed to enter the capital at will, and you are not allowed to wear brocade, and you have to kneel down when you see officials, you may not look down on the petty officials of the Hanlin Academy, but no matter how small the mosquito legs are, you people from the Western Regions have no ability to touch them." ”

Su Xiaomu was not there, and Gu Jingcheng didn't like to listen to what Lou Qi said.

He threw his sleeves away with a cold face, leaving Lou Qi, whose face was uglier than him, standing in place.

Gu Jingcheng went to the dessert shop.

He didn't believe that Su Xiaomu would be willing to accept the gift that the building was abandoned, or the South China Sea pearl that was so valuable.

In the past, whenever the two of them got along, Su Xiaomu was reluctant to spend his money, if it weren't for the fact that he hadn't taken the initiative to give gifts several times, I am afraid that there would be no contact between them at all.

Gu Jingcheng quietly arrived at the door of the dessert shop.

He sat at the stall opposite and ordered some food, and then sat at the door of Su Xiaomu's shop for a day.

Su Xiaomu received the pearls, and Gu Jingcheng sat here for a day and saw Zhao Mu and Zhao Lin.

Although he was having a very unpleasant quarrel with Su Xiaomu now, Zhao Mu and Zhao Lin would still come to greet him when they saw him.

Gu Jingcheng also knew from them that a friend of Su Xiaomu gave her a gift, and she was originally reluctant to accept it, but because she really liked it, she didn't refuse.

Gu Jingcheng also saw Su Xiaomu coming in and out several times here, he felt like a knife all day long, and he had been holding a breath in his chest that he couldn't discharge.

Su Xiaomu also knew that Gu Jingcheng was outside in the shop, and Shi Zhu had already been angry with Zhao Mu.

"Gu Gongzi has been outside for a day, does the lady want to invite him in to talk?"

Shi Zhu always felt that the quarrel between Su Xiaomu and Gu Jingcheng this time gave her a very awkward feeling.

But where the specific awkwardness is, she can't say for the time being.

"Let him be, if you love to stay outside, you will stay outside, not to mention that we opened the door to do business and welcome visitors from all over the world, and we didn't say that we would turn him away and not allow him to come in and eat."

Su Xiaomu ate the iced drink that Aunt Zhao had just made, and he was very happy and comfortable.

Even though it's winter, I still crave it occasionally.

As for Gu Jingcheng......

Su Xiaomu looked in the direction of the door, she could only see the figures outside the door here, and she didn't know where Gu Jingcheng was.

But it doesn't matter, she can't understand what Gu Jingcheng is thinking about now, Su Xiaomu doesn't want to embarrass herself, so she simply doesn't care about his business anymore, and can live her life wholeheartedly.
