Chapter 33 033
Suddenly, there was a suitor like a death-threatening king. Qingxi did not sleep well that night and was woken up by Cuicui in the morning.
"Or, Miss, sleep a little longer?" Looking at the girl who was rubbing her eyes in the quilt, Cuicui suddenly felt very distressed. When the master was alive, the eldest lady lived a spoiled life without touching the spring water. However, in the past two months, the eldest lady got up early and went to bed late, and was hurt by Gu Mingyan, and bothered both physically and mentally.
Qingxi grabbed the watch next to the bed, and it was five o'clock.
She lifted the quilt and sat up.
The master and servant went to the vegetable market on Houjie to buy vegetables and came to the noodle restaurant. Qingxi quickly made breakfast for the three of them, and after eating, they started waiting for business.
On Saturday, Yuqiao Street was much lively than usual, with people coming and going, and the restaurant was full of customers. If you don’t want to wait, you just choose a restaurant with fewer individuals to have a meal. Xu Qingtang was sandwiched between the most fashionable Western restaurant and the most famous mountain guest, and it was more or less beneficial. When the business was at its best at noon, the store had nine tables seated for the first time, although there were only two tables and four seats.
Qingxi finally saw a glimmer of hope and focused on making faces.
When Gu Mingyan came, Qingxi was busy and had no time to pay attention to him. Gu Mingyan refused to leave until the end of business at noon.
After Qingxi cleaned up the kitchen, he came out to see him. The two of them sat face to face. Xiaolan sat at the counter not far away, lowering her head to settle the score.
"Are you still angry?" Gu Mingyan asked guiltily. Qingxi had a bad temper, but she looked too soft and beautiful. Gu Mingyan was really afraid that something he said was too heavy, so the little girl cried to show him.
Qingxi said calmly: "I don't like you sending flowers, nor do you like you staying in the noodle restaurant for nothing, and I don't want to get involved in your affairs with the Third Master."
Gu Mingyan immediately promised that he would not send flowers again and would not come here every day.
The eldest young master of the Gu family was cautious in front of her, and Qingxi calmed down.
Gu Mingyan took a sip of light tea and turned to inquire about Yuxi's schooling: "Can you keep up with your class's homework?"
Qingxi's mind saw her sister sitting at the desk doing her homework properly, and a smile appeared: "It's okay, I made a few friends, and I'm going to have a classmate's house to play today."
Gu Mingyan nodded and praised him naturally: "Yuxi is lively and smart, and it is easy to make friends everywhere. Where is the aunt? I said I wanted to find a tutor for Guqin, but is there any news?" In fact, he knew the current situation of Qingxi and his father, and Gu Mingyan just deliberately found many topics to talk to Qingxi.
The Han family has a different family background. Qingxi doesn’t want to show off, so she just said that she has found it and didn’t mention which one.
"I'm going back to rest, you can go home too." Qingxi looked at his watch and prepared to end the conversation.
"I'll go and ask for peace to the old lady, aunt." Gu Mingyan stood up and looked sincere: "Last time everyone left unhappily, my father wanted to apologize. I was afraid that the old lady would still be angry, so he wanted to wait. The mistake was on me. Although the marriage has been cancelled, our two families have been in love for many years, so I have to apologize to the elders."
Qingxi nodded.
On the way home, Cuicui and Xiaolan consciously lagged a few steps behind.
The sky was as blue as the afternoon sun shone on her body. Gu Mingyan looked at Fugui running in front of her and suddenly asked in a low voice: "Qingxi, we are friends. I will treat you as my sister in the future. I will not go around in the corners of some things. My third uncle, do you have other ideas about you?"
Qingxi pursed her lower lip.
Gu Mingyan understood, his heart was overturned, and his face was calm: "I guess, you didn't agree to him."
Qingxi defaults.
Gu Mingyan sighed and said with some concern: "Uncle San misunderstood that his mother was harmed by the old lady. This time he went back to Hangzhou, he would definitely cause trouble for us. You have never met him many times. To be honest, Qingxi, with your appearance and temperament, I believe that I love you at first sight. But Uncle San, it is said that there are never women around him, why are they special to you? It's not my villain's heart, but I always feel that he pursues you because of your relationship with me. He is alone and without any scruples, but if outsiders know that you are together, the reputation of the Xu family and Gu family will definitely be affected."
Qingxi couldn't sleep all night last night, so why didn't she think about this?
She believed that Lu Duo had no malice towards her, but she couldn't see through Gu Huaixiu. If Gu Huaixiu just wanted to buy Laifu's beef patties, or just came to the noodle restaurant to eat his favorite noodles, Qingxi could treat Gu Huaixiu as an ordinary guest, but Gu Huaixiu actually expressed his attitude to pursue her and his attitude was rampant.
If something goes wrong, there will be a demon. Qingxi will not jump into other people's pits in a daze.
"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid." Qingxi said calmly.
Gu Mingyan believed that she was really ruthless to Uncle San. Thinking of Uncle San's cold eyes, Gu Mingyan deeply doubted that which normal woman would dare to like him? Perhaps some lawless rich daughters raised by the family would like to Uncle San's face to be attracted to Uncle San's money and use all their strength to conquer, but Qingxi is definitely not the kind of silly girl who causes trouble.
In this way, it would be enough for him to send someone to protect Qingxi in secret.
Gu Mingyan did not come in the evening, but Gu Huaixiu stepped into the noodle restaurant on time after seven o'clock.
But this time, he came by himself and did not bring Lu Duo.
Xiaolan took his menu, went to the kitchen to tell Qingxi, and secretly told him about Lu Duo's failure to come.
Qingxi just made noodles, and Xiaolan took them out. She hid in the kitchen, and Cuicui stayed here to accompany her so that the man would not break in again.
In the dim old noodle restaurant, the man in a black suit ate noodles silently, but the owner ignored him and he didn't care.
Xiaolan saw it and felt that the third master was really cold, but inexplicably felt that the third master was alone was very pitiful. It seemed that in this world, only Mr. Lu would take the initiative to talk to him. When Mr. Lu was not here, the third master became a complete lonely man. Qingxi was dedicated to practicing cooking skills and had never deliberately inquired about Gu Huaixiu. All his understanding of Gu Huaixiu came from Gu Mingyan. Xiaolan was a maid and had heard all kinds of rumors related to Gu Huaixiu. Just the bandits once ruined the concubine in front of the third master, it was enough to make the listener cry.
But Xiaolan did not tell Qingxi about those things. She agreed with the decision of the lady to keep a distance from the Gu family. If she had to be biased, Xiaolan felt that Gu Mingyan was more suitable for the lady. Gu Mingyan was indeed romantic, but Gu Mingyan's experience was simple. As for the Third Master, no one knew what the Third Master had experienced in the more than ten years before he escaped from the bandit's nest at the age of eight to returning to China at the age of twenty-five.
"San Ye, you can walk slowly." After the man finished eating the noodles, put on his sunglasses and left the table. Xiaolan lowered her head and respectfully saw him off.
At 7:30, the noodle shop was closed. Qingxi stepped out of the noodle shop. When he turned his eyes, he saw a man in black parked by the road. He was wearing sunglasses at night, with a expressionless face, and was out of place with the other people laughing and laughing on the road.
Qingxi withdrew his gaze and continued to walk inside the two maids.
She didn't look back once, but she could feel Gu Huaixiu following behind, turning into the alley, and finally there was no footsteps behind her.
Cuicui wanted to look back, but as soon as her head moved, she was stopped by Qingxi.
When turning, Qingxi Yuguang glanced at the other end of the alley and saw a shadow lazily leaning against the wall.
Qingxi has a headache. What exactly does this third master want to do?
In the next two days, Gu Huaixiu would appear in the evening, eat noodles silently, and send her home from afar. Since he did not make any disturbing moves, Qingxi would go with him.
That morning, the three girls of Qingxi continued to get up early and go out.
At 5:30 in the morning, there were no guests. Qingxi made fried rice with ham, eggs and rice. The master and servant sat at a table next to the kitchen, filling their stomachs with hot soup. Qingxi, Cuicui was opposite the door of the restaurant, Cuicui sat outside. As she was eating, she suddenly felt a warm breath pounce on her face. Cuicui tilted her head in confusion...
"ah!"
Cuicui threw a bowl "slap" and threw herself on Qingxi, as if she was a ghost.
Qingxi was frightened and saw a big black dog squatting beside the dining table, staring at her with dark eyes. It was Lai Fu!
Qingxi subconsciously looked at the door. The door was empty, and there was no man wearing black clothes and sunglasses.
"Miss, look at its neck!"
Qingxi bowed his head again.
Lai Fu had a collar tied around his neck, and a palm-sized bag hung on the collar. Seeing Qingxi look at it, Lai Fu suddenly raised his front paws and put them on the table. In the frightened eyes of the three women, it raised its head to make the bag on the collar more obvious, and its spiritual black eyes stared straight at Qingxi.
Qingxi hasn't seen it yet.
"Miss, does it ask you to get a bag?" Cuicui said tremblingly.
It seems that this is what it should be.
Qingxi saw Lai Fu's obedience to Gu Huaixiu, but she was not afraid of Lai Fu, especially Fugui came to mess up and put his claws on Lai Fu's body. Lai Fu just looked down but did not attack. Qingxi became more and more relieved, and pushed Cuicui away, and she slowly reached out to her hand.
Lai Fu remained motionless.
Qingxi took off the bag, and there were three pieces of paper, two of which were a total of 150 yuan, and the other was a note, which read: "The cost of October beef patties is paid for five kilograms first, and the goods are returned to the dog."
When the goods arrive, the dog will return. If the goods are not available, the dog will not leave?
Qingxi couldn't help but hold the notes tightly.
"Miss, what should I do?" Cui Cui was too afraid of Lai Fu, so she hugged inside and asked.
Being angry was not the solution. Qingxi looked at Lai Fu and knew that the dog was smart. She stuffed the banknotes back into the bag and tried to hang the bag back while talking: "Lai Fu is obedient, I won't make meat pies anymore, you go home."
Of course Lai Fu was smart. As soon as Qingxi looked up, it fell back to the ground, squatted in the aisle, waiting patiently for the goods.
Qingxi tried to talk and drove it away.
Lai Fu remained indifferent.
Qingxi wanted to search the guy, but she didn't dare, for fear that Laifu would bite her. The big black dog who stood up and could reach her breasts looked as scary as its owner.
"Miss, one cent is business, and one hundred and fifty is business. You have made noodles for the third master. It's okay to make a few pounds of meat cakes for Lai Fu?" Cui Cui persuaded him without any hesitation, just asking to send Lai Fu quickly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a customer came in outside the store and walked two steps inside. When he saw Lai Fu, he retreated again. It can be seen that Lai Fu is so scary that Fugui has been staying in the noodle shop and has never scared anyone away.
"I have some left for Fugui last time. Cuicui, go and get it." Business is important, Qingxi quickly ordered Cuicui.
Cui Cui frightened over the table behind and went home to get the dried meat pie.
Fugui is still young, Laifu ate one pound of dried meat patties a day, and Fugui can eat one pound of dried meat patties for several days. Little Greedy Dog doesn’t specialize in meat patties, so Qingxi has a lot left last time. Cuicui weighed more than five pounds and handed it to Qingxi from afar.
Qingxi really wanted to stuff the money in, but was afraid that Gu Huaixiu would ask Lai Fu to pay back the money again. After thinking about it, he took on the business in a frustration.
She put the bag of meat pie on the floor.
Lai Fu sniffed, then picked up the bag, put it down after picking it up, and bit the hemp rope that tied the bag under the shocked gaze of the three women, and took several pieces of beef patties out in succession, and then picked up the bag after putting it down. After repeating it several times, Lai Fu finally bit the bag and turned around and ran away, like a black phantom, with four claws landing silently.
There was a long silence in the noodle restaurant until a "crack" sounded under the table.
Look down from Qingxi.
