The shopkeeper Wei told Gu Yi and Song Wan Yue the words of the two boys word for word.
As soon as she heard that the Gu family’s boy had personally beaten the board, Song Wan Yue knew that Yuan Min was afraid that she would not be able to get out of bed for three to five months, so this punishment was naturally enough.
“Thank you, Master Gu, for helping us out.”
Gu Yi completely took her opinion as his and nodded in satisfaction when he heard Song Wan Yue say so, “You tell them to go back and tell my father that I know, and I won’t send anyone to smash up the Yuan family’s shop again.”
Song Si got up, “The family is still waiting, Yue’er and I will go over first, you young master Gu ……”
“I’ll go with you guys.”
After so many days of going to the capital, the two were used to Gu Yi following them, and without saying anything, they rode in his carriage to the cold skin stall.
The day was getting cooler, so there were fewer people eating the cold skin, and Xu Laosan’s family had long since stopped coming to work.
Qi Ying is also here, but she is not sitting with her brothers, she is sitting at a separate table.
She comes here every now and then and has gotten to know Liu Cui Lan well, and is now laughing and talking to her.
The carriage stops in front of the stall.
Liu Cui Lan, Song Shu and the few people eating looked over at the same time.
Song Si got down from the carriage first.
Qi Ying froze for a moment, she had already inquired about it, the government exams were on the 9th of August, three exams, three days each, plus the time to wait for the list to be issued, Song Si should not arrive home until the end of August.
“Si’er.”
Liu Cui Lan shouted happily.
Song Si looked over.
Qi Ying’s heart beat faster and a blush instantly rose to her face, she hurriedly lowered her head and took a bite of her cold skin to hide herself.
Song Wangyue also got down from the carriage, “Second Aunt.”
“Yue’er, hurry, hurry, Miss Qi is here.”
“Sister Qi.”
Song Wan Yue smiled as she walked over.
Gu Yi, who then followed down, followed suit and shouted, “Second Aunt.”
Liu Cui Lan greeted warmly, “Young Master Gu is here too, want some cold skin? I’ll mix one for you.”
“Eat, thank you, Second Aunt.”
“You’re welcome, you sit first. Si’er, Yue’er, are you eating?”
“Give us a portion each, yes, Mother cut a few more portions, I’m going to the academy later and bring them to the dean.”
If it was in the past, even if she knew that Song Si was doing it to get on good terms with the dean, Liu Cui Lan would have been heartbroken, after all, there were fewer cold skins for sale now, and if she gave away a few more portions to people, she and Song Shu would have worked all day for nothing. But now it was different, her family had money, so even if she gave away all the cold skins she had made today, she wouldn’t feel any pain.
“Sister Qi, it’s a coincidence that you’re here today, my elder brother and I only returned from the capital yesterday.”
Song Wangyue asked Qi Ying with a smile as she sat down in front of her.
Qi Ying heard the flirtation in her words and blushed even more, pretending to be angry and glaring at him, “What coincidence? I often come here, don’t you believe me, ask auntie.”
“Yes ……”
Liu Cui Lan helped as she mixed the cold skin, “Miss Qi comes often.”
“Oh…”
Song Wangyue elongated her trailing voice meaningfully.
Qi Ying blushed even redder.
“It’s getting cold, we can’t sell much, from tomorrow onwards, we won’t be coming to set up our stall. If sister Qi wants to eat cold skin, you can go directly to our house in the future and let second aunt make it for you.”
After saying this, she squeezed her eyes at Qi Ying.
Knowing that she was trying to help herself, Qi Ying blushed and replied graciously, “Yes, anyway, Song’s village is not far from the county town, I’ll be there soon on horseback, I hope that second aunt won’t mind me causing you trouble.”
I hope you won’t mind if I cause you trouble.” “No, no, don’t mind, Miss Qi, go ahead, I’ll make you anything else you want to eat, not to mention the cold skin.”
Liu Cui Lan came over with a bowl and placed the cold skin in front of Song Wan Yue.
“Yo, second aunt is so good to sister Qi, I’m jealous.”
Liu Cui Lan couldn’t help but laugh, “Second Aunt will make it for you too, every day.”
Song Si and Gu Yi sat at a nearby table.
Qi Ying did not dare to turn her head sideways, lest her mind be seen, and could only take advantage of the cold skin to sneak a peek at him.
Song Wangyue saw his little movement and smiled narrowly, “Big brother.”
Song Si inclined his head.
Song Wangyue handed over her own bowl of cold skin, “Help me put some chilli oil on it, we don’t have much left on the table.”
Song Si nodded slightly towards Qi Ying and took the bowl over.
Song Wangyue winked quietly at Qi Ying.
Qi Ying pursed up her lips slightly, peeked at Song Si’s side, and pretended to look down again to eat the cold skin when he turned his body around.
The stall was silent for a moment.
Liu Cui Lan felt strange and glanced at a few people and was just about to speak when a few cold skin eaters came and she was just busy greeting them and sitting down.
“Little girl, did everything go well for you to the capital city?”
Qi Ying finished her question without words, hating to bite off her tongue – if it hadn’t gone well, she and Song Si wouldn’t be here today.
“Huh?”
Gu Yi inclined his head, “Why are you calling her little girl too?”
Qi Ying looked at the sound and saw Gu Yi’s face, the chopsticks in her hand almost fell onto the table, and her eyes widened uncontrollably and instantly, “You ……”
Song Wangyue noticed her difference and instantly looked up at her, just in time to see the shock in her eyes that she hadn’t had time to conceal, narrowing her eyes slightly.
Gu Yi, however, did not see her dissimilarity and asked insistently, “Why did you call her little girl?”
Qi Ying came back to her senses and quickly concealed herself, trying to make her voice sound smooth, “I’ve been calling her little girl since the first time I saw her.”
“No more shouting from now on, only me.”
His tone was strong and domineering, Qi Ying’s couldn’t help but look at Song Wan Yue, “Little …… Yue’er, he, he is ……”
“Gu family young master.”
Song Wangyue was concise and did not say much.
Qi Ying, however, did not ask any more questions, nodded slightly, withdrew her gaze, finished the rest of the cold skin in three or two bites and got up, “There’s still something going on at the dart board, I’ll go back first, you can come to the dart board to play with me when you’re free.”
“Sure.”
Song Wangyue responded with her usual smile.
Qi Ying gave Liu Cuilan another word and left with the dart board.
Watching her back as she hurriedly left, Song Wan Yue narrowed her eyes once again.
……
After Song Si finished eating, she took a few copies of the cold skin to the academy.
The dean didn’t expect him to return so soon, and after a moment of surprise, he couldn’t wait to ask him to write down the articles he had made.
When Song Si had finished writing and handed it to the dean, they all gathered around to watch.
“Good, good answer.”
The dean stroked his beard in praise.
“Thanks to the dean for helping me point out similar topics, otherwise the student wouldn’t have been able to play so well.”
Song Si said humbly.
The dean was filled with joy, “It seems that our academy is about to produce a jieyuan.”
……
At the same time, Qi Ying, who had returned to the dart board, hurriedly went to the main courtyard with a grave expression, “Father, mother, I’ll tell you something.”
