"I'm fine." Xin You looked magnanimously and met those deep eyes, "I didn't expect to meet a righteous man here again. Can the righteous man tell me his name?"
He Qingxiao glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw the round eyes of the shopkeeper and the waiter. He silently swallowed the rejection and said warmly: "My surname is He."
"Master He."
He Qingxiao raised her eyebrows slightly.
Xinyou explained: "I just heard the guy calling you, sir."
Seeing the girl's calm look, He Qingxiao suddenly felt that there was no point in avoiding her identity.
"I hold the post of governor at Jinlin Guards. Miss Kou doesn't have to remember all the hard work I did that day."
"His Excellency's little effort is a life-saving grace for me."
"Miss Kou's reminder that day is already a reward." He Qingxiao thought of the flowerpot that fell from the sky, and her eyes changed slightly when she looked at Xin You.
Originally, he had suspected that it was a trap set up by the girl in front of him to deliberately get closer to him, but after hearing some things about Shaoqing's house, he dispelled this suspicion.
A little girl in that kind of environment has already tried her best to protect herself. There is nothing she can do to get close to someone like him, and it is unnecessary.
However, he still didn't understand how a girl who was living in a boudoir could become proficient in physiognomy.
He Qingxiao hesitated for a moment and then said: "If Miss Kou encounters any trouble and He can solve it within his ability, you can come to me."
This time, Xin You's eyes changed.
There was confusion in her eyes, and when she touched the other person's clear and peaceful gaze, she understood for a moment.
He Qingxiao's treatment of her was the same as her treatment of the young man who had just asked for an advance salary for his mother. It was out of pure pity for people who were in deep trouble.
Xin You blessed her body again: "I would like to thank Mr. He first."
He Qingxiao nodded and looked at the counter.
Xin You looked over and wondered secretly.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Mr. He seemed to have been staring at the travel book she wanted to buy.
"I won't disturb Mr. He anymore." Xin You picked up the travel notes and said, "Shopkeeper, please pay."
"Girl, are you sure you want to buy this book?" the shopkeeper asked Xin You, but his eyes secretly glanced at He Qingxiao.
He Qingxiao walked quickly towards the depths of the bookshelf.
"The shopkeeper?"
"Oh!" The shopkeeper who turned to look at the back quickly turned around and pointed out three fingers, "The price of this travel book is a bit high, it costs three taels of silver."
Three taels of silver is really not cheap.
Xiaolian couldn't help but said: "A storybook is only a few hundred words long!"
The shopkeeper was not surprised by the little maid's reaction, and explained with a smile: "This is incomparable. The storybook is printed in large quantities, the cost is low, and the price is naturally cheap. This is the only one in the travel book shop, for those who like it It’s worth it no matter how expensive it is.”
Xin You nodded slightly, Xiao Lian said no more, took out the broken silver and put it on the counter.
The clerk hurriedly wrapped the travel notes carefully and handed them to Xiaolian.
"I'll take it." Xin You took the book directly, said goodbye to the shopkeeper and walked out.
When the waiter saw the master and servant walking out of the bookstore, he asked the shopkeeper in a low voice: "Shopkeeper, why didn't you remind that girl -"
He said, quietly pointing inside.
Both the shopkeeper and the clerk knew that Mr. He would read the travel notes every time he came to the bookstore.
"Don't talk too much." The shopkeeper warned and glared at the waiter.
If there were other guests, he would definitely remind him quietly to avoid accidentally offending the envoy of Jinlin Guard Town. But just now he saw that the girl wanted to buy the travel book. Master He didn't say anything, so he didn't plan to say anything more.
It’s so hard to sell such an expensive book!
Little did he know that He Qingxiao, who was standing next to the bookshelf with a book to read, was not as calm as he looked on the surface.
The book in front of him became more and more boring as he read it. He only had one thought in his mind: He hadn't finished reading that book yet...
Outside Qingsong Bookstore, there were no shortage of people at all. Xiaolian stood on tiptoe and looked around, then asked Xinyou: "Girl, do you want me to buy a copy?"
The book "The Peony" in the girl's hand was also written by Mr. Ping An. But for some reason, there seemed to be blood stains on it.
Xiaolian guessed that what Xinyou had to do in Beijing was not simple, but she didn't ask a word.
The girl avenged her girl and was willing to take her in. No matter what happened in the future, she would face it together with the girl.
"There are too many people, so forget it and go back first."
On the way back, Xin You flipped through the newly bought travel notes and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was quite interesting. She gradually became fascinated by it, and it wasn't until she was reminded by Xiao Lian that she realized that Shaoqing's Mansion had arrived.
After getting off the carriage, Xin You walked in slowly holding the book. Xiao Lian whispered to the side: "The second girl is over there."
Duan Yunhua also spotted Xin You and walked over without thinking.
Xin You looked at the girl approaching fiercely and stood still.
Her expressionless look was like sparks falling into a frying pan, instantly igniting Duan Yunhua's suppressed anger: "Kou Qingqing, let me ask you, what happened yesterday?"
In just one day, life is turned upside down. Even with his brother's comfort, Duan Yunhua still couldn't accept it.
Xin You looked at Duan Yunhua quietly for a moment and said calmly: "Grandma said that you are not allowed to mention what happened yesterday. If Cousin Hua really wants to know the details, just ask grandma, or ask your uncle."
Duan Yunhua raised his eyebrows and said, "You clearly know that grandma and father won't tell!"
"Oh, I don't want to say that either." Xin You looked cold.
"You—" Duan Yunhua was so angry that he gritted his silver teeth and forcibly resisted the urge to slap that Yun Danfengqing face, "Kou Qingqing, don't be too proud!"
Xin You was silent for a moment and asked, "What is Kou Qingqing so proud of?"
If you think about it carefully, these words are a bit weird, and only Xiaolian can hear them.
Xiaolian bit her lip and looked at Duan Yunhua with anger and tears in her eyes.
The bones of her girl are still in the cave that has never seen the light of day, and she doesn’t know when they will be buried. What else could her Qingqing girl be proud of?
"Kou Qingqing, it turns out that your past kindness was all just an act."
Xin You smiled: "Cousin Bi Hua is as domineering as ever."
"How dare you say that to me!" Duan Yunhua was furious, and his raised hand was grabbed by the maid.
"Girl, go back to your room. If the old lady finds out—"
Duan Yunhua's anger suddenly stopped, and he couldn't hold it in until his face turned blue.
"Just wait!" After saying these words, Duan Yunhua walked away.
The maid hurriedly caught up, but was pushed and staggered by the furious Duan Yunhua.
"Girl, the second girl will still make trouble for you." Xiao Lian frowned.
Xin You smiled: "I'm afraid she won't cause trouble for me."
Xiaolian blinked in confusion.
Xin You didn't explain, but said: "Let's go and sit at the third girl's place."
Duan Yunling felt like he was dreaming these past two days. Hearing that his cousin was here, he ordered someone to come in.
After chatting for a while, Xin You said bluntly: "I want to ask cousin Ling for a favor."
