Chapter 344 You noble girls really know how to play!
Gu Danxue raised her head in doubt when she heard the sound, and when she saw the person standing at the door of the inn, she called out with some hesitation: "... madam, why are you here?"
Because Shen Mingjiao and the others made disguises, and because of the drizzle, Gu Danxue was a little uncertain for a while.
Shen Mingjiao nodded, and trotted down the steps: "Stop standing here, come in if you have something to say."
Seeing that the two people knew each other, the boss couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief: "Whatever the girl needs, just tell my mother-in-law."
Gu Danxue thanked him politely, and entered the lobby with Shen Mingjiao. Standing beside Gu Danxue, Xing Qi, who was dressed as a woman, tightened her umbrella handle, then lowered her head and narrowed her eyes, minimizing her sense of presence.
Entering the lobby, Shen Mingjiao poured her a cup of hot tea: "Is it cold? How about I ask the kitchen to cook some **** soup for you?"
Gu Danxue took the cup, but didn't rush to drink it: "I'm fine."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Xing Qi and saw that half of his clothes were wet, so he couldn't help asking: "Is there any spare room? I want to take my friend to change clothes first."
Shen Mingjiao was a little surprised, she tilted her head to follow Gu Danxue's line of sight, and saw that the woman was quite tall, but she couldn't see clearly through the rain curtain before, so she thought it was the female guard Ning Yuanhou hired for Gu Danxue. Looking carefully now, I found that although the woman had put on some disguises, she could still see that she had a very outstanding face, but she didn't look feminine.
She suppressed the curiosity in her heart, "I'll let Haitang take you there."
Xing Qi carried the burden and said softly to Gu Danxue: "It's rare for a girl to meet an old friend, so I'll just go there by myself."
It wasn't until Xing Qi's back completely disappeared that Gu Danxue looked away.
Shen Mingjiao asked her: "A friend you met on the road?"
"No, we met in Anqingfang, Madam, you should have met."
Shen Mingjiao thought for a while and then shook her head: "I didn't pay much attention.
What would you like to eat, is plain noodles okay? "
Gu Danxue gave a casual grace: "I'm not picky eaters."
Shen Mingjiao asked her to sit down opposite her, and asked, "Didn't you go to the border with Master Gu? How did you come here?"
"After leaving the capital, my father said that he had important things to do and asked me to walk around by myself."
Shen Mingjiao straightened up in surprise: "I see that you didn't bring any guards when you came, so Master Gu is so relieved to let you two girls go far away!"
Although Gu Zhao has a rough temper, he can't be so rough!
"Ma'am, don't worry, is Phoenix following? She is very powerful. We took the waterway to Jiangnan, and then followed the caravan to Qindi. With her protection, I am safe along the way."
When Xing Qi was mentioned, her eyes were bright, and she was obviously very happy with him.
"You are talking about your...friend? It's called Fenghuang! The name is too..."
Gu Danxue lowered her head and smiled embarrassedly: "I took it, isn't it nice?"
Shen Mingjiao: "..." It turns out that there are people in this world with even worse names than her.
She boasted against her will. "It's not bad! It's very grand!"
"So this...cough...Phoenix girl, knows martial arts?"
"Well, she said that she learned some martial arts with her master in the early years, and was later sold into a flower building."
When she mentioned this, she was afraid that others would hear it badly, so she deliberately lowered her voice: "When I was in Anqingfang, she was sick and was rejected by Hualou..."
She briefly explained what happened at that time. This actually involves Fenghuang's bad past, which she shouldn't have told others about.
But Shen Mingjiao is her best friend, she doesn't want to lie to her.
However, apart from Shen Mingjiao and the others, the rest are Lianjiazi, she thought her voice was low, but others could hear it clearly.
Ming, who was gnawing on the chicken leg, almost choked when he heard this, with a strange look on his face, even Fu Guang raised his head, looked at Gu Danxue, frowning in bewilderment.
Shen Mingjiao coughed lightly: "She doesn't look like a flower girl!"
Shen Ming said tenderly, Hua Niang has a lot of good looks. But they are all in the high-end flower houses in Pingkangfang, how can they keep such a beautiful flower girl in a place like Xiang'anqingfang!
But she didn't explain in detail, no matter how unreliable Gu Zhao is, since he assured Gu Danxue to follow him, it means that at least this person will not be harmful to Gu Danxue.
While speaking, the noodles were already on the table, "Miss, use it slowly, there is not enough in the pot."
Gu Danxue took the chopsticks, raised her head and smiled at the lady of the host family: "Thank you, auntie, I will tell you if I need it." The answer was generous.
After the meal, everyone went back to the room to rest. Haitang scratched her head and asked, "Why do I feel that Miss Gu has changed a lot!"
Shen Mingjiao rubbed her stuffed stomach, nodded in agreement, "It has changed a lot, it has become more cheerful."
In the past in the capital, Gu Danxue always lowered her head habitually when talking with people, and dared not look people in the eye.
See you now, she seems to be a different person, almost no longer see her former inferiority complex. People also became fond of laughing.
He hesitated to speak and said "tsk": "You noble girls really know how to play!"
Shen Mingjiao didn't understand, but she felt that the meaning of the words was definitely not serious: "What do you mean! So what's wrong with you, a noble lady!"
But after saying this, Ming swung his long knife and went back to the wing room.
…
Gu Danxue returned to the wing room, and saw that Xing Qi had washed and bathed, and was standing in front of the window, wondering what he was thinking?
Gu Danxue raised his hand and knocked on the window sill:
"Hey! Why are you in a daze?"
Xing Qi suddenly came back to his senses, "Have you eaten?"
"Well, I brought you noodles and **** soup. You just got caught in the rain, so drink a bowl of **** soup."
After saying that, she went to pull his wrist. As soon as her fingers touched the opponent's skin, she felt her wrist tense under her fingers. She reacted and quickly withdrew her hand. Afraid of touching on his psychological trauma when he was a flower girl, he changed the subject bluntly and said:
"Ah! How did your hair dry so quickly!"
Xing Qi couldn't help laughing seeing her like this. How can there be such a stupid girl in this world.
"I dried it with internal force."
It was rare to hear him answer questions in a serious manner. Gu Danxue was stunned for a moment: "Uh! There are also benefits to practicing martial arts! It's quite convenient..."
Xing Qi sat at the table of the Eight Immortals and ate in silence, while Gu Danxue sat opposite him, propping his chin and looking at him without blinking.
Being stared at by her, Xing Qi was finally forced to raise his head: "What's wrong?"
Gu Danxue looked away embarrassedly: "It's nothing, you used to speak in a serious manner, but now you're serious, I'm not used to it!"
Xing Qi smiled, a pair of cold and beautiful phoenix eyes slightly bent: "It's so inseparable from slaves!"
It was obviously a very common sentence, but when he said it, there was an inexplicable strange feeling. Gu Danxue blamed him for being good-looking.
Perhaps it was because the two had been together for a long time, and in his glib talk day after day, her originally clumsy tongue had become somewhat clever. Immediately answered with a smile.
"Well, sister, you are so pretty, so naturally I can't do without my sister, she wants to stay with me for the rest of my life!"
Hearing this, Xing Qi tightened his grip on the chopsticks, lowered his head and gritted his teeth, and said "tsk": "What is this called? Those who are close to the ink are black!"
Gu Danxue, however, thought that she had finally taken advantage of her verbal advantage, and immediately smiled, her brows and eyes curved: "What is close to ink is black! This is called green out of blue, okay?".
"Okay! Let the girl say what she wants! The bed is ready, and if the girl is tired, go and have a rest."
Gu Danxue emphasized again: "I told you not to call me a girl, you are not my maid."
Xing Qi continued to eat noodles with his head down, watching the goose yellow skirt disappear before his eyes, he covered the wry smile on his lips.
If possible, he would rather be her maid for the rest of his life.
