Chapter 13(1/2)
From the Gu Xicheng family?
This little girl was so interesting. Han Yuanqing was amused and glanced at Gu Xicheng.
"Oh, what are you doing with Xicheng today?"
This grandson of an old acquaintance, Gu Luopu, is good at everything but impersonal. It is a rare opportunity to tease him.
Chi Yinyin said truthfully: "Grandpa asked me to follow you to the west to wish Mr. Han a happy birthday."
"Then old man, thank you."
Han Yuanqing led her to talk, "Since you are here to celebrate my birthday, what birthday gift did you prepare for me?"
When asked this question, Gu Xicheng paused. What gift could she prepare?
Han Yuanqing wasn't very enthusiastic about him to begin with, so he was afraid that it would make matters worse.
But Chi Yinyin nodded, "Be prepared."
Are you really ready? Gu Xicheng raised his eyebrows and grabbed her hand.
It looked like a smile on his face, but actually he was warning her.
"Don't make any trouble for me!"
Chi Yinyin pushed his hand away, took out a box from her bag, bowed and placed it in front of Han Yuanqing.
She got this from her trip to Qiancheng Temple that day.
"With a little thought, I wish you, Mr. Han, good luck every year and good luck every year."
"I accept your good words."
Han Yuanqing opened the brocade box and was stunned for a moment. "This is..."
There was no emotion or anger on his face, and everyone at the table held their breath, wondering whether the little girl had offended Mr. Han.
Especially Gu Xicheng.
But Chi Yinyin explained, "This is the peace string from Qiancheng Temple. It's not worth much."
As soon as she finished speaking, various comments could be faintly heard from the four people, and all eyes turned to her.
"well."
Han Yuanqing was very happy, beyond words.
He looked at Gu Xicheng who was confused.
"Qiancheng Temple's peace skewers are not for sale to the public. If you want it, you have to kowtow step by step from the bottom of the temple to the temple lobby, and then you can get it from the host."
"One step at a time and one year of longevity depends on sincerity and sincerity."
Pointing at Chi Yinyin, he praised.
"This girl is much more humane than your boy."
At this moment, Gu Xicheng also understood.
——The two bruises on Chi Yinyin’s knees were caused by kowtow.
She is very good at pleasing the elderly, as is her grandfather, and so is Han Yuanqing.
After the banquet was over, Han Yuanqing's secretary found Gu Xicheng.
"Mr. Gu, Mr. Han invites you to go to his Zhinianzhai in the evening and take your little girl with you."
Hearing this, Gu Xicheng was startled for a moment, then thanked him, "Please tell Mr. Han that this junior will arrive on time."
After the secretary left, Gu Xicheng's eyebrows were obviously happy. Others couldn't see it, but Zhou Shuo could.
"Second brother, has Mr. Han relented?"
"Yeah." Gu Xicheng nodded and squinted at Chi Yinyin, who was waiting quietly aside.
Although I don't want to, I have to admit it.
"I didn't expect that after working hard for half a year, it wouldn't be as good as this girl kowtows."
However, Chi Yinyin did help him.
…
Gu Xicheng led Chi Yinyin back to his room. It was still useful to keep her. He ignored her, but he didn't chase her away anymore.
After entering the room, Chi Yinyin called him, "Gu Xicheng."
Gu Xicheng turned around and looked at her indifferently, "What's the matter?"
"that......"
Chi Yinyin pointed to the kitchen and asked, "Can I borrow it?"
Gu Xicheng raised his eyebrows, "You want to cook? Didn't you eat just now?"
It was obvious that she had been eating since entering the banquet hall.
"No." Chi Yinyin waved her hand, "I have a bit of nasal congestion and may have a cold. I want to make some onion and ginger water to drink."
It was freezing all night last night. Although she is young and in good health, she is afraid of falling ill.
When it came to this matter, Gu Xicheng was a little embarrassed, "Drinking this will help? No need to take medicine?"
Seeing as how she helped him today, it would not be impossible for Zhou Shuo to buy her some medicine if she asked.
"No."
Chi Yinyin smiled and shook his head. "I drank this when I had a cold when I was a kid. It's no problem."
Tang Xiaowei had abused her since she was a child. When she got sick, he wouldn't even take her to see a doctor, and he wouldn't even buy her medicine.
Every time, she would make onion and ginger water by herself and drink it.
"May I?"
Gu Xicheng was silent for a while, then curled his lips indifferently, "It's up to you."
Turn around and go upstairs.
Chi Yinyin breathed a sigh of relief and entered the kitchen.
When Gu Xicheng came down from upstairs to pour some water, the entire first floor was filled with a strong smell of onion and ginger water.
Glancing towards the kitchen, Chi Yinyin was holding the cup and sipping it in small sips.
He narrowed his eyes. She just said that she had been drinking this water since she had a cold since she was a child.
Why? Can’t you afford the medicine?
He remembered that his grandfather said that her mother passed away when she was very young...
She must have had a hard time these years.
Tsk.
In the evening, Gu Xicheng took Chi Yinyin to Zhinianzhai.
In the glass-roofed courtyard, there was a round table made of pear wood, burning agarwood incense, and Han Yuanqing was already sitting at the head of the table.
On the side, Shen's wife Shen Qiaochu was keeping company, and the two of them were talking and laughing.
Gu Xicheng frowned, Shen Qiaochu is here too?
In the Hidden Lake project, the Shen family is his strongest opponent.
Gu Xicheng remained calm, stepped forward, and bowed slightly. "Mr. Han."
"Xicheng is coming."
Han Yuanqing raised his eyes and smiled, then looked at Chi Yinyin and said, "You're here too."
Chi Yinyin smiled sweetly and said, "Mr. Han invited me, I would be honored to invite you."
"OK."
Han Yuanqing waved his hand to greet them.
"I came just in time. The leader said he wanted to go on stage in person and sing two songs for the old man. It's a rare opportunity. Xicheng, you should also listen."
Shen Qiaochu pushed the frame of the mirror and said, "Then let's get ready."
As he said that, he glanced at Gu Xicheng. That look was full of provocation.
Not sure what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, Gu Xicheng sat down first, with Chi Yinyin next to him.
After a while, the lights in the hall dimmed, and the beam of light hit the open space in front.
Along with the drumbeat of the opera, Shen Qiaochu, wearing costume and makeup, entered from the side, turned around and spoke.
"The orioles are coming back from the dream, and the chaotic years are everywhere. People stand in the small courtyard and deep courtyard. All the smoke is poured out, and the remaining embroidery threads are thrown away. Is this spring as emotional as last year?"
Although it is not professional, it sounds like what is going on.
"good!"
