The gentleman is knocking on the door

Chapter 34

34
Guo Hongyuan took Ade around the street and arrived near Ji's bathhouse, but instead of entering the bathhouse, he stood for a while, looked at the sky and turned into an alley next to the bathhouse.

"Master, it's Master Ji!" As he was walking, Ade, who was behind him, suddenly pointed to the front happily and shouted.

Guo Hongyuan had already seen Ji Tian coming this way, fisted his hands hanging by his sides, put them down quickly after Ade made his voice, and greeted him with a surprised and happy expression: "Uncle Ji , is it really you?"

Seeing Guo Hongyuan, Ji Tian paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "So it's Hongyuan, why are you here?"

"I didn't need a carriage when I went out today. I just wanted to go to my classmate's house and took a small path. I didn't expect to meet Uncle Ji. Why is Uncle Ji here?" Guo Hongyuan asked knowingly.

Mi Congcong told him that this alley leads to the back door of Ji's bathhouse, and Ji Tian leaves the alley at this time almost every day.

Ji Tian's habit was also told by Mr. Guo to Mi Congcong, and Mi Congcong just passed on Mr. Guo's words to Guo Hongyuan.

"I just came out of the bathhouse and was about to go home. I didn't expect such a coincidence." Ji Tian didn't suspect that this Guo Wushao had other intentions. After all, this is a kid that even Mrs. Guo doesn't want to pay more attention to.

Guo Hongyuan didn't know that Mrs. Guo often complained in front of Ji Tian that he and his other two cousins ​​were not suitable for studying, not only were they not suitable for studying, they were not good enough for business, because their minds were too simple, and they would express whatever they thought in their hearts. On the face, disappointing.

After adding this Maitreya-like, deceptive fat smiling face to last season, the anger in Guo Hongyuan's heart actually faded a lot, replaced by relief.

Even someone as shrewd as grandfather can be deceived, let alone the rest of the Guo family?
"Uncle Ji, my dad was still talking about you yesterday, I didn't expect to meet you today, it's really a coincidence!" Guo Hongyuan had a faint smile on his face: "Uncle Ji also knows that we just separated, and the family affairs There are quite a lot, and I don’t have time to see Uncle Ji, so I hope Uncle Ji won’t take offense.”

"Uncle understands." Ji Tian patted him on the shoulder with eyes full of relief: "Hongyuan is sensible, and your grandfather must be very happy to know. Hongyuan, listen to what uncle said, and you must study hard in the future, and those cronies and dog friends should stay away from each other. Good. Well, if your grandfather is still around, I don't have to worry about it for you."

Ji Tian spoke sincerely, and when it came to the sad look on his face at the end, if Guo Hongyuan hadn't already known that he was acting, he might be moved by his friendship again, but now Guo Hongyuan only felt that he was like a clown, covering himself in front of him. The act of resolving numbers is as ridiculous as it needs to be.

With no anger in my heart, it is much easier to deal with him. I saw Guo Hongyuan lowered his head pretending to be sad, then raised his head after a while and said to Ji Tian: "Uncle Ji, since we met today, why don't you go to the restaurant for a drink? Yuan hasn't had a drink alone with my uncle, so I beg my uncle not to refuse."

"Hongyuan, it's not that Uncle doesn't want to drink with you, it's just that Uncle has something to do today, why don't Uncle ask you out again?" What Ji Tian hopes most now is to cut off contact with Guo's family, so why would he go drinking alone with Guo Hongyuan?

Just as Ji Tian was about to leave, Guo Hongyuan's depressed voice sounded before he could take a step: "Uncle, you don't want to drink with me because you look down on me, right? Is it because your grandfather is gone that you don't care about us juniors?"

Ji Tian's heart jumped, and he said righteously: "Nonsense! How can uncle ignore you? Uncle really has something to do."

"Uncle, I made a slip of the tongue, so don't be angry." Guo Hongyuan said with self-blame and grief on his face, "I just have something on my mind that I want to talk to someone about, and I can't talk about it with anyone except uncle."

Ji Tian glanced at him, a little hesitant.

"Uncle Ji, don't you know that since my grandfather passed away, I have dreamed about him every day..." Guo Hongyuan looked sad and hesitated to speak.

The smile on Ji Tian's face froze: "Did you dream about your grandfather?"

Guo Hongyuan didn't miss the panic flashing in his eyes, so he couldn't help laughing secretly.

This is the so-called guilty conscience!
"Yes, I dream every day that my grandfather talks to me..."

"What did your grandfather tell you?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Ji Tian also realized that he was too eager, and hurriedly explained: "Your grandfather left suddenly, I...I can't bear it!"

The sarcastic smile on Guo Hongyuan's lips was fleeting, and Ade beside him only knew that his master wanted to invite Ji Tian to drink, and he also chimed in when he heard Ji Tian's words: "Master Ji, my young master is in the same mood as you, and misses you all the time. I miss our old man, that's why I want to buy you a drink as soon as I see you, and I also want to take this way to alleviate my miss for the old man, so you will help my young master?"

Guo Hongyuan glanced at Ade, slightly surprised in his heart, he didn't even know that this kid's eloquence was so good.

When the words came to this point, Ji Tian didn't know how to refuse, so he had to go to the restaurant with Guo Hongyuan.

At the same time, Mi Congcong in the inn slept until noon but did not see the ghost, so he had to leave the house.

The two steamed buns she bought in the morning were taken by Guo Hongyuan to Ade when she was drinking porridge at the porridge shop, otherwise she would not have planned to leave the house at noon.

The inn provided lunch, although it was simple, but fortunately there was no need to pay extra, Mi Congcong left the inn after eating.

That ghost hasn't appeared since last night, she wondered if she made a wrong judgment?

Could it be that ghost is still waiting for her in the teahouse?
On the other side of the restaurant, the shopkeeper really thought that Mi Zhiqing and Mi Congcong had exorcised the ghost, so he pasted an exorcism talisman from Mi Zhiqing above the door and reopened.

It's just that the teahouse has been haunted one after another, and people have been panicked for a long time, and few guests dare to come to the door again.

When Mi Congcong came to the teahouse lobby, what he saw was a deserted scene, but Zhong Jingchao's vivid speech on the central platform of the lobby added a bit of vitality to the cold lobby.

"Okay, reward!"

Suddenly there was a cheer on the second floor, and then the door of a private room on the second floor opened, and Mi Congcong saw Mo Qi in a plain robe coming down with a tray covered by a red cloth.

As soon as the door was opened, Mi Congcong heard bursts of laughter coming from the room, there were men and women, not very lively.

Mi Congcong remembered that today the landlord's son celebrated the birthday of the girl from Baihualou here!

Mi Congcong was surprised that the landlord's son didn't reserve the venue.

Mo Qi went downstairs with the tray, and walked towards the table without looking sideways.

"Zhong Xiucai, this is a reward from my young master, I hope Zhong Xiucai will not dislike you."

As Mo Qi opened the red cloth on it, the scattered guests in the lobby gasped when they saw it.
