Chapter 172 Meeting Xiang Qiuxin 2
172
Ke Hanxue was stunned, stuck out her tongue secretly, and made an apologetic gesture to Ge Yunzhang before following Xiang Qiuxin and the two upstairs.

Ge Yunzhang glared at her angrily, and went into the backyard.
The shopkeeper looked at the two men amusedly, and secretly laughed.

After the mute brought them upstairs, they served tea and pastries.

After the mute went out, Xiang Qiuxin smiled lightly and said, "Girl, don't you know your name yet?"

"My name is Ke and my name is Hanxue."

"So it's Miss Ke!" Xiang Qiuxin said with a smile.

"I'm from the country, so Miss Xiang can just call me by my name." Ke Hanxue felt awkward when Xiang Qiuxin addressed herself.
Hearing this, Xiang Qiuxin's eyes flashed with surprise, and Chunxiang who was standing beside her also asked curiously: "Girl, didn't you say that you are the maid of a rich family last time?"

Ke Hanxue laughed a little embarrassedly, and confessed to Xiang Huanxin: "Miss Xiang, I'm really sorry, I lied to you last time, but I'm not a maid from a big family."

"Girl, why are you lying?" Xiang Qiu asked puzzled.
"Can I not answer this question?" Ke Hanxue didn't understand Xiang Qiuxin's personality, so she didn't dare to tell her that she lied to sell the fruit wine that time.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Ke, I'm just curious, I didn't mean to inquire about your privacy." Xiang Qiuxin hurriedly apologized.
"Miss Xiang, I told you to call me by my name." Ke Hanxue said with a smile on her lips.

"This..." Xiang Qiuxin hesitated.

"Miss Xiang, I'm a countryman. I'll feel more comfortable if you call me by my name." Ke Hanxue smiled at her: "You can call me Hanxue or Xueer like my family."

"Then...then I'll call you Xue'er." Xiang Qiuxin frowned, and said again: "Xue'er, if that's the case, then you can call me Qiuxin too."

"Okay!" Ke Hanxue smiled: "Qiu Xin!"

"Cher!"

"Qiu Xin!"

After shouting, the two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Seeing this, Chunxiang also laughed, and asked, "Miss, you and Miss Xue'er, did you hit it off as you always said?"

Xiang Qiuxin covered her mouth and smiled: "That's right, it's like old friends at first sight!"

Ke Hanxue hooked her lips, and asked tentatively: "Qiu Xin, will you lose your identity if you make friends with a countryman like me? Will your family agree?"

The most important thing in this dynasty is to be well-off, and it's the same when making friends. If Xiang Qiuxin's family looks down on her, then she would rather not make this friend.

"Xue'er, you don't have to worry about this, my parents have long wanted to see you, why would they object to our making friends?" Xiang Qiuxin smiled.
"Why do your parents want to see me?" Ke Hanxue was puzzled.

"Miss Xue'er, do you still remember the last time we told you that my lady's hands and feet are cold every winter?" Chunxiang explained for Xiang Qiuxin: "It's a good thing you told us about the 'Fulin Restaurant' that time." 'It sells fruit wine that can cure my lady's problem. After my lady drank it, her old problem this year has really improved."

Chunxiang paused, and then said: "So my master and wife have long wanted to meet you, and wanted to thank you in person!"

"Hehe, that's how it is!" Ke Hanxue said with a dry smile. Last time, she also came up with the idea to sell the fruit wine earlier, but she didn't expect to be fooled by herself.

"Xue'er, come to my house to play when you are free some other day?" Xiang Qiuxin sincerely invited.

Ke Hanxue thought for a while, and said, "I've been busy recently, and I may not be free until after the Chinese New Year."

"Then...then can I go to your house to play?" Xiang Qiuxin asked again.

"My family is in the country, so I'm afraid I'll embarrass you." Ke Hanxue wondered if a spoiled lady like Xiang Qiuxin would dislike her when she went to the countryside?

"Xue'er, we are all friends, why do you still say such things?" Xiang Qiuxin said coquettishly to Ke Hanxue.
"Oh, if you really don't mind, then I'll wait for your visit!" Ke Hanxue laughed.

"Miss Xue'er, if my lady says she doesn't mind, she won't mind!" Chunxiang said again for Xiang Qiuxin.
"By the way, Miss Xue'er, who are you that son who was mean to me just now?" Chunxiang suddenly asked gossipingly.

The son who was fierce to her?

Ke Hanxue blinked and thought for a moment, then laughed: "You mean Ge Yunzhang? He is from the same village as me. We happened to meet in Zhenzhi, and we planned to go back to the village in a bullock cart at the intersection."

"Miss Xue'er, I think he was protecting you just now!" Chunde said with a smile.
"Chunxiang, don't talk nonsense!" Xiang Qiu scolded in displeasure, a girl's reputation is very important, how can she talk nonsense like that.
"It's okay, Qiu Xin, Ge Yunzhang and I live in the same village. When he saw Chunxiang pull me just now, he must have thought that Chunxiang wanted to harm me, so he stepped forward. This is normal."

Ke Hanxue felt that Ge Yunzhang must have had lingering fears about the last time Ai's second child hurt her, so the reaction was so big.

Several people were chatting, the mute knocked twice on the door, and then opened the door to come in.
When Ke Hanxue saw the dumb pointing to himself at the sky outside the window, and then at the downstairs, Ke Hanxue understood.
He meant that it was getting late, and Ge Yunzhang urged her to leave.
"Qiu Xin, Chun Xiang, it's getting late, I should go back, let's talk another day." Ke Hanxue said and stood up.
"Xue'er, let me send you back." Xiang Qiuxin also stood up.

"No, my dad uses a bullock cart to pull jobs, and I always go back and forth in my dad's bullock cart."

"Then, be careful." Xiang Qiuxin watched Ke Hanxue leave reluctantly.

As soon as Ke Hanxue walked out of the elegant room, she saw Ge Yunzhang downstairs looking at her. She hurried downstairs and said, "Let's go."

The two walked out of the restaurant together like this, there was nothing wrong with it at all, the mute and the shopkeeper laughed cunningly behind them.

After Ke Hanxue left, Chunxiang suddenly called out: "Miss, Miss Xue'er didn't seem to say which village she lives in just now!"

Xiang Qiu thought for a while, then frowned and said, "It seems like I didn't say anything."

"Then what should I do? I don't know when I'll meet her again." Chunxiang scowled at herself, she was too careless just now.
"As long as you have the heart, you can always find her. Didn't she say that her father uses a bullock cart to pull the work, let someone inquire about it another day." Xiang Qiuxin said.
"Yes, Miss is smarter." Chunxiang grinned.
"It's getting late, let's go back too, the later the day, the colder it will be." Xiang Qiuxin said as she wrapped her coat around her body.

After drinking the fruit wine, although her hands and feet were not as cold and uncomfortable as before, she was still afraid of the cold.

"Miss, let's go." Chunxiang also became nervous when she heard what Xiang Qiuxin said.
