Sorry, it's a little late, I went out to play~
-------------------------------------------------------------- －－－－－－－
Without reaching out to hit the smiling man, Gu Shiba Niang smiled and nodded.
"Are you okay? We are in a hurry to go back. There is still a lot of work to do. You are not as free as Miss Zhou..." Douhua said.
Zhou Liniang secretly gritted her teeth angrily, looked at Gu Shiba Niang and said with a smile: "That's really annoying Miss Gu..."
As he spoke, he stepped aside, remembered something and said, "By the way, Qiqi Qiqiao, Miss Gu, let's go see the lights with me."
After that, he added, "Miss Sun and others will also be here by then, so everyone can have a big colorful booth to sit in."
Miss Sun was the daughter of the magistrate's family, and Zhou Liniang had close contacts with these ladies from official and aristocratic families. Douhua couldn't help but feel depressed, curled her lips, and swallowed back the words that I had made an appointment with Shiba Niang.
She has not forgotten that Gu Shiba Niang is actually a lady from an official family, and those people are her circle. She is just a small merchant girl buying tofu...
"Well, what a coincidence, I made an appointment with Sister Douhua..." Gu Shiba Niang said with a smile.
A trace of surprise flashed across Zhou Liniang's face, and she glanced at Douhua. Douhua was also a little surprised, but soon she was smiling.
"That's really unfortunate..." Zhou Liniang was helpless. She didn't dare to invite Douhua. It didn't matter if she brought Gu Shibaniang. After all, her identity was there, but Douhua was different. If she took her there, she wouldn't be fooled by Miss Sun's gang. People cursed to death.
Gu Shiba Niang thanked her and said goodbye with Dou Hua arm in arm.
"Baba Niang, do you think she is acting?" Douhua asked in a low voice, "Zhou Liniang is very fake."
Gu Shiba Niang smiled and did not answer directly, but asked instead: "Sister Douhua, if someone quarreled with your father, would you help your father or that person? Is it funny to apologize to him in front of that person?"
"I'm crazy. Who dares to quarrel with my father? I, Douhua, can't scold her to death! I'll give her a beating before we meet!" Douhua immediately said with her hands on her hips, as if there was someone standing in front of her who dared to disrespect her father.
"What if it's your father's fault?" Gu Shiba Niang asked with a smile.
"Bah, that's my dad too!" Douhua said cheerfully.
"Yes, if I do the same." Gu Shiba Niang smiled and said to herself, "I have heard that the son hides from the father, and the father hides from the son. I have not heard that the father and the son sit together. The law is like this, and the human relationship is like this. "
Douhua didn't know a word of Chinese characters. Hearing her drop her book bag, she couldn't help but feel dizzy, "What did you say, Shiba Niang? What father and son are talking about? Let's talk about Zhou Liniang, where are you talking about..."
"You're talking about father and son, you're not far off. Just like you said, your father has a dispute with someone else, and you have to stand by his father regardless of the reason. This is not a fault, but it is human nature," Gu Shi Ba Niang stopped laughing, a hint of sarcasm flashed across her face, and looked back. Zhou Liniang had already disappeared into the crowd, "Zhou Liniang pointed her nose at me and scolded her today. I respect her for being an upright gentleman. I didn’t expect that he was just a villain.”
Douhua groaned, suddenly realizing, and immediately snorted, "I told you, she was just pretending to be pretentious! But everyone still doesn't believe it, everyone just likes to see her like that, Eighteen Niang, let's ignore her," she said She was quite happy that finally someone agreed with her and had the words in the book to prove it. The more she thought about it, the happier she became. She shook Gu Shiba Niang's hand and said, "Ba Niang, let's go and look at the lanterns during the Qiqiao Festival. You Don’t worry, my uncle’s family is rich and they can build a good colorful shed and we will have a good place to sit.”
Gu Shiba Niang smiled and said hello.
The Qiqiao Festival was a lively festival throughout the Zhou Dynasty. Although Xianren County was small, it was no exception. Preparations for the Qiqiao Temple Fair began in mid-June. The temple fair officially kicked off from the first day of July to the seventh day of July. Reaching the climax, these seven days were filled with lively performances at the Jade Emperor Palace in the west of the city.
The college gave a day off on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year so that everyone could go to the city for fun.
Cai Wen originally didn't plan to come out, but it happened that a friend from out of town came to see him. He was sixteen or seventeen when he loved to have fun, so how could he miss this grand day.
As soon as I walked down the street, it was bustling with people. My friend was very happy to see it, but Cai Wen became more and more impatient. It was not until he saw a bookstore that he could pause for a moment.
"This little place has some interesting books..." The friend was browsing in front of the bookshelf, took out a book with a colorful name, winked and chuckled.
Cai Wen simply came in to borrow books to calm his mind and listened without saying a word. However, the conversation between the two boys next to him attracted him.
"...Hey...that girl is here again..."
"It's really annoying...how can there be such a thick-skinned person..."
"No, I've been watching it for nearly ten days and a half..."
"..Looking at how poor she is, she won't buy it..."
"What else should I buy? I'm afraid I've already finished reading it..."
Cai Wen once heard someone say that there are many students from poor family backgrounds who often do things to make ends meet, but it is unusual for girls to do this.
He couldn't help but cast his eyes outside. Compared to other places on the street, there were very few people outside the bookstore. A girl standing in front of the bookstall outside stood out.
She was lowering her head and looking at a thick book in her hand, staying away from the bustle on the street.
It was her. Cai Wen recognized it and couldn't help but nodded.
"What are you looking at?" The friend stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes. He followed his gaze and saw a little girl in coarse clothes and shabby dress. Because she lowered her head, she could only see her small pointed chin.
"...The side dishes from the mountains look delicious..." my friend said with a smile.
Cai Wen glanced at him and said, "This is Gu Hai's sister."
"Gu Hai?" The friend thought for a moment, "Is he the student you mentioned who can't bear to eat or drink anything at noon every day?"
"I said so many other things, you only remember this one?" Cai Wen looked at him and frowned.
The friend chuckled and tapped his shoulder with the book in his hand, "Remember, remember, it's just interesting. I remember you said that although he has shortcomings, his hard work can make up for his shortcomings, so he is a good person... "
Cai Wen glanced at the book he was using to type on himself. The sexy title stood out and he couldn't help but frown and brush it away.
The boy had already walked out again, sweeping the bookstall with a feather duster with disdain in his eyes, coughing twice from time to time.
"My brother is reluctant to eat to save money on paper and ink, and my sister is standing and reading. These two brothers are really studious..." the friend laughed, and walked out of the store as he spoke. Cai Wen didn't know what he was going to do. What, followed him out.
"Eighteen Niangs and Eighteen Niangs, have you finished reading?" Douhua squeezed out from the side stall and patted Gu Shiba Niang's arm and asked, holding a lifelike rabbit in his hand to worship the moon.
Gu Shiba Niang was slapped by her and came out of the book. Before she could say anything, she heard the young man say in a strange way: "Yes, have you finished reading it? Do you like it? Should you buy it or not?"
Gu Shiba Niang's face turned slightly red, and when she was about to put down the book and say she wouldn't buy it, someone interrupted her.
"I bought it. I bought it for the little lady."
Gu Shiba Niang was startled when she heard the words. She looked up and saw that the person speaking was a young master with a handsome face and rich clothes, but she didn't recognize him. Her eyes immediately fell on Cai Wen next to the master.
