Young Master Xu suddenly realized something and turned his head, apologetically: “Excuse me, excuse me…”
“For some reason, I feel this young lady is very familiar as if I’ve seen her somewhere before.”
Gu Fei curled her lips slightly. Isn’t this a common trick used by scumbags in her previous lives?
Young Master Xu asked Gu Fei with a smile: “Is this young lady Miss Gu’s sister? She doesn’t look like one.”
Gu Fei’s facial features were bright, and her appearance was more gorgeous.
While Lanzhi has soft eyebrows and looks quiet and beautiful.
Gu Fei said lightly: “She is a distant cousin.”
Although Lanzhi was embroidering with her head down at the counter, several people were sitting in the lobby, Lanzhi heard their words clearly, and her face became redder and redder.
Gu Fei turned to Su Chen: “By the way, I haven’t thanked Young Master Su for the gift you sent the other day. It’s too expensive.”
Su Chen waved his hand: “It’s nothing.”
He leaned forward slightly: “Miss Gu is managing this inn, all by yourself?”
Gu Fei nodded: “I heard from Brother Zhang that Young Master Su is studying in the academy now?”
Su Chen smiled: “I am studying at Qinglian Academy.”
Gu Fei raised an eyebrow. Qinglian Academy was very famous even in later generations.
This academy has experienced ups and downs for thousands of years and has produced many great scholars, great Confucians, and high-ranking officials.
Gu Fei smiled and said: “Then the Young Master Su must be very knowledgeable.”
Young Master Xu waved his fan and glanced at Su Chen with a smile: “Of course, Zixiu can write beautiful articles. He is the first in the academy in this monthly exam.”
“The teacher said that Zixiu must have a place in the exam this autumn.”
Gu Fei thought to herself that the autumn exam was the provincial exam, which was also the exam for the candidates of Juren. It seems that Young Master Su has already won the title of a scholar.
Su Chen blushed slightly and waved his hand: “It’s just luck.”
Gu Fei smiled and said: “Then congratulate Young Master Su in advance. If Young Master Su passes, send someone to send a letter so that I can give you a gift.”
It’s also a way to repay the favor of the green jade cabbage.
She stood up: “The two gentlemen, please sit down for a while. I’m going to change my clothes.”
Gu Fei got up and went to the backyard.
After Gu Fei left, Young Master Xu also stood up and walked to the counter. He smiled at Lanzhi who was embroidering with her head down: “What’s your name, young lady?”
Lanzhi was already tense when she saw him coming over. When she heard his question, her face turned redder. She didn’t say anything but just lowered her head to embroider.
Young Master Xu said again: “Young lady, you have such a skillful pair of hands. I have never seen such delicate embroidery.”
Lanzhi vaguely understood what the master meant. She bit her lip put down the embroidery frame and went to the backyard without caring that no one was watching over the counter.
Young Master Xu looked at Lanzhi’s back and disappeared at the back door, feeling lost.
Su Chen frowned slightly as he looked at Young Master Xu. He used to look at Young Master Xu in the academy, but who knew that he was acting quite frivolously today?
The Qinglian Academy where he was studying now was a day’s drive from Ping’an City. He finally had three days off and just got home last night. He wanted to see Gu Fei this morning.
Who knew that Young Master Xu came to the door early in the morning? Su Chen had no choice but to bring him along.
Who knew that he would stare at the young lady without any scruples?
Not long after, Gu Fei came out. She was still wearing a moon-white fine cotton skirt, but she had changed into a clean one.
Su Chen saw that Young Master Xu was still craning his neck to look at the back door. He was worried that he would cause trouble.
He stood up and bowed to Gu Fei: “Miss Gu, Brother Xu and I have to go to the bookstore, so we won’t bother you.”
