Chapter 145 A Warm Morning (2)
"Okay, I will definitely come. The day after tomorrow is your big day, even if I don't have time, I will make time." Bai Qingli also happily accepted the invitation, "So I will leave first."

"Xiaobei, send off Mr. Shangguan!" Gu Datian immediately said to Gu Xiaobei.

"Okay." Gu Xiaobei nodded, smiled and said to Shangguan Shijin, "I'll take you out."

Shangguan Shijin nodded and walked out first, Gu Xiaobei followed behind him.

"Master!"

When the two of them reached the door, they saw a delicate-looking girl in a purple skirt standing outside the courtyard door. The girl was very happy to see Shangguan Shijin, she greeted her with a smile and a shout.

"Zichai, haven't you already gone back? Why are you here again?" Shangguan Shijin said with a smile.

Zichai came forward, seeing Gu Xiaobei, couldn't help but look her up, and when she heard Shangguan Shijin's question, she hurriedly smiled and said: "Mother said I made delicious food for you, and let you come to our house Have a meal before leaving."

"I missed the nanny, but now I have to hurry back. You can thank the nanny for me, and I will try her craft again when I have the opportunity." Shangguan Shijin said apologetically.

"Okay then." Zichai said with some disappointment: "Then you will come to visit us often in the future, and then I will cook more delicious things for you with my mother."

Shangguan Shijin nodded, and said with a smile: "You may not be used to it when you just returned to the village. Come and play with Xiaobei often in the future."

"Xiaobei?" Zichai asked suspiciously.

"Why, don't you guys know each other?" Shangguan Shijin looked at Zichai in surprise and then at Gu Xiaobei. This Nanmen Village is not very big. He thought that everyone in the village knew each other. Get to know Gu Xiaobei.

Zichai shook her head: "I have followed my mother to Shangguan Mansion since I was a child, and I seldom come back to the village, but I know almost everyone in the village, but this girl is very unfamiliar."

"Hi sister Zichai, I'm Gu Xiaobei, it's normal that sister Zichai doesn't know me, I was weak and sick when I was young, and I rarely went out, and sister Zichai seldom went back to the village, the chances of the two meeting each other is not great, even if we met a few times , now that everyone is older, they don’t even remember it.” Gu Xiaobei said with a smile.

"That's right." Shangguan Shijin nodded, looked at the sky and smiled and said, "I have to go." He nodded to Gu Xiaobei and Zichai, and got into the carriage ahead.

Seeing Shangguan Shijin's carriage go away, Zichai smiled at Gu Xiaobei: "Sister Xiaobei, since you are the young master's friend, you can often come to my house to play in the future. I have lived in the city for many years and bought a Lots of good stuff coming back."

If you're not your young master's friend, why don't you invite me?Gu Xiaobei also followed with a smirk and said: "Thank you, Sister Zichai for your invitation, but I don't lack anything at home." I don't care about your things, please don't make it sound like I care about your things!
Zichai was taken aback, the girls in the village were very rare about the things she brought back, and they went to her house every day to hang out and play, and then see if they could ask her for a handkerchief or something, unexpectedly Gu Xiaobei would say that .

"Then I'll go back first." Zichai said a little embarrassingly.

"Sister Zichai, go slowly. They are all from the folks in the village, so I won't give them away." Gu Xiaobei said with a smile.

Zichai turned around with a stiff face and walked home. She had been serving the master in the Shangguan mansion for so many years, so she naturally had some winks. Now she could see that Gu Xiaobei had an extraordinary temperament, no worse than the daughter of a wealthy family, which made her even more so. What was unexpected was that this little girl was still very good at talking, and with just a few words, she was at a disadvantage.

Zichai felt a great sense of crisis in her heart. She always thought that she was a maid in a rich family, she was well-informed, and she was well-fed, well-dressed, and good-looking, so she felt very superior in the village.She felt that she was the top-notch girl when she returned to the village, so she didn't think much of the village girl Nomura. She didn't expect to see such an outstanding little girl when she came home today, and she was three or four years younger than herself. old look.

no!She had to go home and ask her mother what was going on with Gu Xiaobei's family and how they could raise such an outstanding daughter!Zichai squeezed the handkerchief in her hand hard, and quickened her pace.

Zichai ran back home in a hurry, walked all the way into the kitchen, and shouted eagerly: "Mother!"

"What's wrong? The young master is gone?" Chen Chaojin's wife, Liu Shi, hastily pulled away her daughter who was blocking the door, and looked outside.

"Don't look, he has something to go back to the city." Zichai said impatiently.

"Hey, if I knew it earlier, I would let him eat before going to find friends." Liu said regretfully.

"Young master is the son of a rich family, how can you have friends here?" Zichai knew that the friend Liu was talking about must be the Gu Xiaobei just now, but even Liu knew that Shangguan Shijin and her were friends. It seems that this Gu Xiaobei It's not easy!

"I don't know very well. Maybe I just met him. I haven't heard of it before. Recently, he only said it when he came to visit me occasionally. His friend seems to be the brother and sister of the second room of the Gu family, but it doesn't matter. It's normal, the brothers and sisters of the Gu family are also doing business in the city recently, maybe they met when they were doing business." Liu returned to the stove and continued to work, talking slowly with Zichai.

"Ah? Are their brothers and sisters doing business in the city?" Zichai exclaimed. She thought that Gu Xiaobei's family also farmed. It's terrible, she has been in the Shangguan Mansion all these years, and she also knows that doing a good business will make a lot more money than farming.

"Yeah, I heard that they made a lot of money by opening a restaurant. Now they can be said to be the richest family in our village. When you came back, did you see a new yard built at the entrance of the village? That's their family's. Listen Saying that I will move in the day after tomorrow, I am so envious of everyone." Liu's face was full of envy.

Zichai was struck by lightning. When she returned to the village, she did see the new courtyard at the head of the village. She thought it was a landlord who had settled down in the village, but unexpectedly, it belonged to Gu Xiaobei's family.

"I haven't been in the village these years. I didn't expect such an amazing thing to happen in the village." Zichai took a small stool and sat next to Liu Shi, helping her pick up beans, and said with a smile: "Mother, you continue to follow me!" Tell me about the village."

"Okay." Mrs. Liu patted her head lovingly, and told her daughter all the big and small things in the village.

Zichai listened intently, and occasionally a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.

The next day, Gu Xiaobei got up early.

"Little sister, why are you up so early? Are you going to follow us to the restaurant?" Gu Erye, who was washing his face in the kitchen, saw that she got up early, and immediately asked with a smile.
