After dressing up as the wife of the hero of the imperial examination, I ran away

"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 to Su Xiaomu like a magic trick, opened the box like offering a treasure, inside lay a pearl the size of a child's fist.

"My caravan traded it with a caravan from the south by accident. I think this suits you very well. The pearl is white and white. It's Miss Su."

"I really like this thing a little bit. Why don't you deduct the money for this pearl from the money that you haven't given me yet, and it's considered that I bought it from you with money."

Su Xiaomu picked up the pearls from the wooden box and played with them fondly.

Not to mention, such a big pearl is round and white, and every inch of it has grown on her aesthetic point.

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

"Is it so clear between you and me?" Lou Qi said helplessly, "Aren't you and I friends? Why bother to care about the value of a gift between friends."

"It is precisely because we are friends that we need to understand it more clearly." Su Xiaomu admired Pearl's beauty while replying to him, "You will not be rewarded for nothing, and the value of this thing is not as ordinary as you said. If you If you don’t take my money, I dare not take such a valuable thing home.”

Su Xiaomu had to spend his own money to buy things that Su Xiaomu liked, and what others gave them were all floating clouds, let alone men.

"Okay, then it's up to you."

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

She walked forward and left behind, Su Xiaomu did not meet Gu Jingcheng who came to the restaurant with him, but bumped into him face to face.

"Why are you here?" Gu Jingcheng frowned as soon as he saw Lou Qi, he felt a little physically uncomfortable, "Are you with Xiaomu?"

Gu Jingcheng's heart couldn't stop sinking, he was going to the capital to prepare for the spring, and before he left, he wanted to see Su Xiaomu again, and it would be best if he could talk to her.

After all, it was his bad attitude that night. He wanted to meet Su Xiaomu and say sorry to her, even though 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 fell in love with her, and he only liked her.

The feeling of liking someone is different from the feeling of liking reading. Gu Jingcheng likes reading because reading can change his destiny. Through reading, he can make his family live a better life in the future.

But liking Su Xiaomu was only for his own consideration, for him to live a good life.

Even though he knew that 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.

However, when Gu Jingcheng saw the abandoned building, this kind of thinking gradually cracked.

"Madam Su and I are here to discuss matters between the two of us. I didn't invite you, and the two of you didn't come together. So, you are following Madam Su."

Men always have the ability to detect each other's true intentions in an instant. Lou Qirao looked at Gu Jingcheng with interest, not letting go of every inch from head to toe.

Looking at his knees, Lou Qi said: "Your legs are better, you can continue to participate in the Chunwei Expo, but even if you can participate in the imperial examination as you wish, it is not so easy for poor students to get ahead, say Wake up today, I just gave Mrs. Su a pearl, although the price of a pearl as big as a fist in the South China Sea is not very expensive, how many years will it take you to afford it with your meager salary in the future?"

Su Xiaomu wasn't there, so Lou Qi and Gu Jingcheng talked about what he didn't like to hear.

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

Students from poor families, they study only to get ahead and change their own destiny, how much do they really like what is written in the book?That's not necessarily true.

Especially for people like Gu Jingcheng, who mostly rely on the women in the family to earn money to support their large family when they go to school.

"What does it matter to you how I live in the future?" Gu Jingcheng clenched his fists and went back to the building in a cold voice, "Even if you have tens of millions of wealth, you still can't enter the capital as you like, you can't wear brocade, and you have to kneel when you see an official. You may not like it, but no matter how small the legs of a mosquito are, people from the Western Regions like you have no ability to get involved."

Su Xiaomu was not around, and Gu Jingcheng didn't like to listen to a word Lou Qi said.

He flicked his sleeves and left with a cold face, leaving Lou Qi standing there with an even uglier face than him at the moment.

Gu Jingcheng went to the dessert shop.

He didn't believe that Su Xiaomu would be willing to accept the abandoned gift, such a precious South Sea pearl.

In the past, whenever the two of them got along, Su Xiaomu was unwilling to spend his money. If it wasn't for the fact that he offered gifts several times, there would be no contact between them at all.

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

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

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

Although he is having an unpleasant fight with Su Xiaomu now, Zhao Mu and Zhao Lin will still come to say hello when they see him.

It was from them that Gu Jingcheng knew that Su Xiaomu had a friend who gave her a gift. She was originally unwilling to accept it, but because she really liked it, she didn't refuse it.

Gu Jingcheng also saw Su Xiaomu coming in and out several times here, he felt heartbroken all day long, and he couldn't get out of his chest all the time.

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

"Young master Gu has been outside for a day, may my lady invite him in to talk?"

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

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

"Let him do whatever he likes. If you like to stay outside, just stay outside. Besides, we open the door for business and welcome visitors from all over the world. We didn't say to keep him out, let him come in and eat."

Su Xiaomu ate the iced drink that Aunt Zhao had just made by himself, feeling very comfortable and happy.

Even though it's winter, I still get hungry for it occasionally.

As for Gu Jingcheng...

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

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