In the backyard of Tongfu Inn, after Xiao Guo returned to his room, he did not lie down on the bed to rest, but happily took out the mirror to check his makeup today.
She was humming a little tune in her mouth, and she looked very happy.
She had made an agreement with Xiao Bei that she would take her out for a fun day today.
For this reason, she went to the scholar this morning to borrow two coins for today's expenses.
As for how the money will be paid back, Xiao Guo is not worried at all, because she is convinced that Xiao Qing and the others will send the money, and maybe they are already on the way.
And this was the reason why the scholar was willing to lend her money.
As a child of a wealthy family who has been very naughty and mischievous since childhood, Xiao Guo is the person in this inn who can best understand Xiao Bei.
Seeing Xiao Bei's naughty and mischievous look, Xiao Guo seemed to see himself in childhood, both equally smart and courageous.
And coupled with the two months of eating and sleeping together, the relationship between these two people, who already have similar personalities, is like that of biological sisters.
As in the past, if anything happened to Xiao Bei, whether he was bullied by someone or got something fun, the first person to tell him would definitely be Xiao Guo, not the shopkeeper.
The same goes for Xiao Guo. Xiao Guo treats Xiao Bei as his own sister, and it is precisely because of this that he helped Xiao Bei plan to skip school this morning.
In Xiao Guo's opinion, the shopkeeper's discipline on Xiao Bei is indeed a bit harsh on weekdays.
Although Xiao Guo knew that the shopkeeper was doing this for Xiao Bei's benefit, as someone who had been there, she could better understand Xiao Bei's inner feelings. She knew that Xiao Bei also needed to relax and rest.
Especially after experiencing the life and death crisis last night, everyone else can rest, but only Xiaobei has to go to school today. This will inevitably make Xiaobei's heart a little unbalanced, so she plans to help Xiaobei now. Once, I took Xiaobei out for a day of fun and relaxation.
It can be said that both of them started out for the good of Xiaobei, but their approaches were completely different.
And maybe this is the difference between parents and friends?
Parents think more about their children's future. They will use their own experience to set the right path for their children and strictly supervise their children not to go astray.
A friend, on the other hand, cares more about the other person's inner feelings. She will often talk to you and resolve the unhappiness in your heart.
But no matter what, both of them are doing it for Xiaobei's own good.
It can be said that Xiaobei's life experience is unfortunate, but at the same time she is extremely lucky because she met many people who were very good to her.
. . .
After dressing up for a while in the room, Xiao Guo felt that it was perfect and closed the makeup box with a chuckle.
She pretended that nothing happened and walked into the courtyard. Then she stretched her head and looked around, and found that there was no one in the courtyard. The scholar and Dazui were not there. She quickly and quietly came to the back door, planning to open it secretly. , slipped out through the back door to join Xiaobei.
But just as she was about to open the back door, she heard it.
"Hey, Xiao Guo, where are you going?"
I saw the shopkeeper just raised the curtain and walked in. Seeing Xiao Guo about to open the back door, the shopkeeper couldn't help but ask curiously.
When Xiao Guo heard this, she quickly retracted her hand with a smile. Looking at the shopkeeper's curious eyes, she quickly pretended to be nonchalant and said:
"No, it's nothing. I just think the weather is good today, so I plan to go out for a walk."
As he spoke, Xiao Guo also looked up at the sky.
Wen Yan, the shopkeeper also looked up at the sky. Not to mention, the weather today was really good, it was a sunny day.
"Go for a walk? It's good to go for a walk. I happen to want to go for a walk too, so let's go for a walk together."
The shopkeeper didn't notice anything was wrong. On the contrary, she happily invited Xiao Guo to form a team.
However, Xiao Guo quickly refused: "No need, I just went out for a walk, not shopping, there is no need to go together."
"Does that matter? It's a rare day off. We haven't gone shopping together yet. Today I will take you to the market in Qixia Town and buy some rouge, gouache and so on. Don't worry, I will pay for it. Come out." The shopkeeper said very generously.
"Besides, your injury hasn't fully healed yet. What if you fainted alone outside? So I'd better stay with you so you can rest assured." The shopkeeper said very thoughtfully.
Hearing the shopkeeper's thoughtful words, Xiao Guo was moved but also very scared.
Because she knew that if the shopkeeper saw Xiaobei not going to school, but wandering around on the street, then this intimate elder sister in front of her would instantly turn into a creature even more terrifying than a tiger. At that time, I definitely couldn’t eat enough and walked around.
"No, no need, I suddenly don't want to go out." Xiao Guo quickly refused.
"Why?" The shopkeeper looked at Xiao Guo in confusion. She was about to go out to buy some cosmetics, and she originally planned to ask Xiao Guo to help her with the details.
"It's nothing, I just feel that you are right. My injury has not healed yet, so it is better to stay in the store and rest." Xiao Guo couldn't think of any good reason, so he had to use his injury as an excuse.
After hearing Xiao Guo's excuse, the shopkeeper had no choice but to give up.
"Okay, then you can have a good rest. I won't disturb you. Xiucai should be back to buy some medicine later. I'll leave the store to you today. I'll go shopping on the street alone first."
The shopkeeper said helplessly, but this did not dissuade the shopkeeper from shopping. She had not gone shopping for a long time. When she thought of this, she quickly turned around and left happily.
"Well... come back!" Xiao Guo originally nodded to show that she understood, but after hearing the shopkeeper's last words, she quickly shouted.
Xiao Guo didn't dare to let the shopkeeper go out. According to her estimation, Xiaobei should have successfully asked for leave by now. What if he accidentally got hit by the shopkeeper on the street?
"What's wrong?" When Xiao Guo suddenly called her, the shopkeeper turned around and looked at Xiao Guo curiously and asked.
"I...this is..."
Xiao Guo was hesitantly thinking about what to say, and suddenly she noticed that the shopkeeper's makeup today was slightly different from the past.
"Hey, shopkeeper, did you put on makeup today?" Xiao Guo asked curiously.
After hearing Xiao Guo's words, the shopkeeper felt a little embarrassed, and she hid her face.
"It's not melted, I just put some on it. How can I still see it?" the shopkeeper asked expectantly.
She got up this morning and dressed up for a long time. She originally wanted to surprise someone, but she didn't expect that the person was blind and turned a blind eye.
Fortunately, she thought that after last night's life and death experience, the relationship between the two would progress, but it turned out.
'Eh! Sure enough, the stories are all lies, and the truth about a friend in need is all nonsense. '
But Xiao Guo didn't care what the shopkeeper was thinking at this time. She quickly took the opportunity to praise: "Wow, not only can you see it, it's like a fairy descending to earth!"
