Chapter 175 Mysterious Gift

Hearing the gentle female voice, the man quickly stopped his thoughts, smiled gratefully at Gu Yingying, and thanked him.

"Thank you little lady."

However, he still didn't take it back, and he turned and left the object he had wrapped in silk handkerchief before.

Gu Yingying was about to catch up, but Xu Xinlan, who was sitting beside her, stretched out her hand and grabbed her wrist.Had to give up.

After a while, a few women dressed in fine clothes and speaking the official dialect of the imperial city came to buy all the pastries left in Gu Yingying's wooden barrel.

After selling the pastries, Gu Yingying was carrying the empty wooden barrel, and on the way back to Mo Lane with Xu Xinlan, the man's white, slender hands with well-defined knuckles still appeared in her mind.

It was those beautiful hands that placed the object wrapped in silk handkerchief in her hand.

She noticed at the time that the palm of the man's right hand also had a layer of calluses.It must have been sharpened by a sword on the battlefield.

Back at the rented house, Gu Yingying first poured a cup of tea for Xu Xinlan, then poured a cup for herself, and drank most of the cup.

The tea was warm, presumably after they went out, Aunt Xiu came to see them and brought hot tea.

They gave Aunt Xiu a key to the two houses here.Of course, neither she nor Sister Xinlan has the key to Aunt Xiu's house.

Gu Yingying and Xu Xinlan sat opposite each other. After drinking a cup of tea, they both mentioned the object that the man gave them earlier.

"I said no, but he still wants to keep it for me. I was about to return it to him, but you stopped me." Gu Yingying couldn't help complaining.

Xu Xinlan looked at Gu Yingying in embarrassment, and asked curiously: "Until now, you still don't want to tell me the truth, do you already know it's him?"

When Sister Yingying was looking for her brother before, she noticed that there was joy in Sister Yingying's eyes.

That kind of joy is what most people will show when they meet friends they haven't seen for a long time.But the joy in Sister Yingying's eyes has already revealed more information than seeing a friend she hasn't seen for a long time.

Do you still want to hide it from her?
"Where is it?" Gu Yingying shook her head slightly, pretending not to understand.

Xu Xinlan reached out and squeezed the back of Gu Yingying's hand, and asked:
"I've seen it all, so pretend? If you didn't know it was him, why didn't you accept this item? You didn't accept it, just because you thought of it. The item he gave must be of great value. Like what he gave before The thermos bottle given to you, in the entire Dajingyou country, there is probably no one else who is as lucky as you, right?"

Gu Yingying's thoughts were exposed by Xu Xinlan face to face, so she had no choice but to keep silent.

Anyway, Sister Xinlan had already noticed it, and she had already thought that the man would belong to Zhao Xun.No matter what he said at the moment, it seemed to be covering up.

So silent.

Xu Xinlan looked at Gu Yingying with probing eyes, and asked, "Since you already know that the person who bought our orange cake is Brother Xun. Then have you ever wondered why he went to look for you on a merchant ship?" , after you returned to the ancient tree, you also rushed there?"

"Before you mentioned this matter, I thought it was he who met you on the way and came to me after hearing what you said." Gu Yingying told the truth.

"Haha." Xu Xinlan couldn't help laughing.

If brother Xun met her on the way, he would bring cakes for her and go to the merchant ship to find sister Yingying.But he didn't meet her on the way.

Gu Yingying only heard Xu Xinlan smile, and soon realized that Zhao Xun went to the merchant ship to find her business, which had nothing to do with Sister Xinlan.He tentatively asked:

"Could it be that after his return, he has been wandering around and never left. So he is very clear about what happened here."

In this way, even if no one mentioned it to him, she and Sister Xinlan went to the port to sell pastries.He can know too.

"I also thought of what you were thinking. In my opinion, brother Xun must be here with us, and he has never gone far." Xu Xinlan also thinks that there is a possibility.

Having said that, she smiled wickedly at Gu Yingying and asked:
"Sister Yingying, look, brother Xun has returned and is by our side. In the future, no matter what you do, he will see and know. Do you regret renting a house here in Moxiang?"

Gu Yingying touched Xu Xinlan's arm with her elbow, and said: "Before Zhao Xun came back, who always mentioned to me that he had learned kung fu and was very good at it? Now he is there to protect him." Come on, isn't it safer?"

I really have nothing to regret about renting a house here.

But I don't want to be seen by Zhao Xun when I go out to sell food tomorrow, and I want to buy some.He said to Xu Xinlan:

"I see, tomorrow, why don't we take a bullock cart to Jing'an City and sell food near Zhang's Medical Center."

First of all, there are many guest officials over there, so someone must buy it.Secondly, the few restaurants in that area are not adjacent to the medical center.In the past, there was no need to worry about selling food.

Xu Xinlan shook her head slightly, "I think it's better to go to Zhang's Medical Hall to sell food than to sell it here on West Street. You know, there are many bookstores here, at least not only scholars, but also some literati, Come here to buy books, calligraphy and paintings. If you are hungry from shopping, why would you be reluctant to spend a little money and buy a few cakes?"

Gu Yingying has considered this matter before.

But at the same time, I also understand that it is a bit inappropriate to sell pastries on West Street.

One is that there are too many bookstores on West Street, and even though there are many pedestrians, no one shouts loudly.It's quieter over there.So even if she and Sister Xinlan were picking food to sell, she couldn't yell.

I can only ask a few simple questions after seeing pedestrians.

Sister Xinlan is very reserved, she is afraid that she will feel embarrassed when she asks someone something.

At the end of that day, how many pastries can be sold?

But if they went to Jing'an City to sell pastries, it would be different.Jing'an City is the county seat of Xinning County. Although it is not as prosperous as Fucheng, it still has a port, a bookstore, a pharmacy and a medical center.

No matter which street you go, you can shout.

Don't worry about calling a few people to buy pastries.

Xu Xinlan could only agree, "That's fine, tomorrow morning, I will carry the burden and go with you to Zhang's Medical Center in Jing'an City."

Anyway, as long as I don't bother to find my brother, it's fine.

That night.

Gu Yingying and the others had dinner at Liu Qiaoxiu's house, but on the dining table, they saw those orange cakes that were sold to Zhao Xun before.

After counting, there is not one piece missing.

Gu Yingying asked Liu Qiaoxiu: "Aunt Xiu, this pastry tastes good, why don't you eat it?"

Liu Qiaoxiu pursed her lips and smiled, "Xun'er's entrusted person brought it back to me, saying that it was for me to share with you. Heh, that kid of Xun'er is really lucky. Before going to Mobei, he once said , Miss Gu is his savior."

I really want to see Miss Gu.

"No, as soon as Xun'er went to the merchant ship today, he met Miss Gu." Liu Qiaoxiu's eyes showed relief, she was really happy for her son.

After Gu Yingying heard this, a trace of shyness flashed across her eyes.

You can't tell Aunt Xiu the truth, before you see Zhao Xun, sometimes even if you don't look at his portrait, you will see him in your dream.

Xu Xinlan said softly to Liu Qiaoxiu: "Brother Xun not only saw Sister Yingying, but also gave her another item. But she was too embarrassed to keep it, even if she accepted it, she wouldn't open it."
