Gu Yi couldn’t figure it out.
He waved for Xiao Si to come close to him and instructed him in a low voice. Xiao Si nodded and drew his legs towards the Song family, running to the entrance of the Song family, he saw Song Lin in the courtyard, he didn’t dare to call out to anyone and hid outside the door.
Not long after, Xu also came out with her embroidery work and moved a small stool to sit in the shade, watching Song Lin and his daughter work.
Xiao Si darted back to the carriage and told Gu Yi.
Gu Yi was undeterred and told Xiao Si to keep an eye on it. He waited and waited …… until it was getting dark and it was time for the people in the field to return ……
Gu Yi was afraid of being discovered, and only then did he hang his head and instruct the carriage driver to go back, and sulked back home.
The three of them were talking in the flower room, and when they saw him in this state, they stopped their conversation, and Miss Gu even stood up and asked with concern, “Little brother, what’s wrong with you?”
“Eldest sister.”
Gu Yi shouted before sitting listlessly on a chair, “Little girl hasn’t seen me today.”
Big Sister Gu’s eyes flickered as she sat down on the chair beside him and raised her hand to touch his head, “It’s probably because you got drunk yesterday and scared her, it’s alright, she’ll be fine in a few days.”
Gu Yi did not say anything.
Miss Gu instructed her subordinates to bring over the freshly cooked snacks, and personally took a piece and handed it to Gu Yi’s mouth, “This is what big sister made especially for you, try it, is it good?”
In the past, there was nothing else in Gu Yi’s eyes when he saw dim sum, but now he couldn’t even be interested in eating dim sum, he closed his mouth and shook his head, “I don’t want to eat it.”
Miss Gu narrowed her eyes slightly and instantly returned to her natural state, putting the snacks down, wiping her hands with a handkerchief and touching his head again, “Miss Song is still young after all, yesterday you were drunk and mad, she was scared and will inevitably avoid you for a few days, it will be fine in the past. You’d better go along to big sister’s house and play with Bao’er for a few days, he’ll miss you as an uncle.”
This topic was brought up by Miss Gu early this morning after Gu Yi had sobered up, and Gu Yi did not agree.
He liked Bao’er and would go to his own elder sister’s house from time to time to see Bao’er, but now his heart was set on the little girl, no one else could enter his eyes.
“I’m not going.”
Gu Yi kicked his shoes and lifted his feet to the chair, “I have to go to the little girl tomorrow.”
Miss Gu opened her mouth and had to persuade again-
“Hui’er.”
Mrs. Gu shook her head, this son of hers was a stickler, no one could persuade him of anything he was determined to do.
……
The next day, the Song family went to the county to set up their stall as usual. Shortly after they set up their stall, the Gu family’s carriage pulled up in front of the stall.
Gu Yi jumped down from the carriage and peeked at Song Wan Yue, seeing that she was not paying attention to her, he did not dare to shout at her and honestly went over and sat down, “Have a cold skin.”
The rest of the few people didn’t think much of it, thinking he was just craving cold skin.
Liu Cui Lan nimbly cut it up and put it in a bowl, Song San Xiao came up and put in cucumber and various seasonings and carried it to Gu Yi.
Gu Yi picked up his chopsticks, scooped up a bit of chilli oil and mixed it up, only took one bite before putting the bowl down, “It’s not good, not the taste I had the other day, give me another bowl.”
The crowd, ……
Liu Cui Lan cut another serving, or Song San Xiao put the cucumber and seasoning to bring over, Gu Yi again only ate a bite, then frowned in disgust, “What’s going on? It tastes far worse than the one I ate the other day, give me another one!”
Song Shen couldn’t stand it, “I said, stop it, eat if you want, or leave if you don’t.”
Gu Yi slanted a look at him and disliked him unceremoniously, “Who said I don’t want to eat? I want to eat it, but it just doesn’t taste anywhere near as good.”
“You ……”
Song Shen squeezed his fist.
“You what you, hurry up, give me another one.”
Song Shen took a deep breath.
Liu Cui Lan and Song Shu looked at each other, if the two of them couldn’t see that Gu Yi was doing it on purpose, they would have lived all these years in vain.
Song San Xiao could also see that Gu Yi had come over to pick a fight, and although he didn’t know what this silly boy was mad about, he wasn’t in the business of caring.
It didn’t matter if he had one bite or two, as long as he paid, even if this silly boy had wrapped all the cold skins, he was fine with it.
Liu Cui Lan cut another portion into the bowl, Song San Xiao reached out to take it, she didn’t give it, “Yue Er, you can mix one for Young Master Gu.”
Song Wan Yue lifted her eyes and looked at Gu Yi, seeing that he was looking at her with bated breath, she reached out and took it, after putting in the cucumber, she scooped the seasoning into it, one spoonful, two spoonfuls, three spoonfuls, Liu Cui Lan looked at it with trepidation, after putting in so much seasoning, could this cold skin still be eaten?
Song Shen was delighted, he hooked a wooden stool with his foot and sat down, watching the show with aplomb: he wanted to see if Gu Yi dared to say it was unpalatable after adding so many seasonings.
He knew that the young master wanted to use this method to make Miss Song pay attention to him, but with so many spices added, his scalp tingled at the thought of it.
Gu Yi was oblivious to this, and watched with a smile on his face as Song Wan Yue put the seasoning in place and brought it over to him personally and placed it in front of him.
The crowd,……
Xiao Si couldn’t bear to look at it anymore, not to mention eating it, even if he stood behind him and smelled it, he found this cold skin unpalatable. He looked to Song Wan Yue, praying with his eyes for her to stop the young master, Song Wan Yue ignored it, not only that, but also sat down at the table.
Gu Yi ate even more happily, and one of the cold skins soon reached the bottom. Satisfied, he took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, pointing to the two cold skins he had just eaten, “One for you and one for the coachman.
Looking at his lips that had already changed colour, Xiao Si hurriedly picked up the cold skin and gave it to the chevalier, saying something, and the two of them began to eat without raising their heads.
“Little girl ……”
Gu Yi just shouted, Song Wan Yue already got up and walked elsewhere, obviously did not want to take care of him, the light in Gu Yi’s eyes dimmed down.
Liu Cui Lan and Song Shu looked at each other again, not knowing what to do.
The good thing is that Xiao Si and the car driver quickly finished eating, came back with empty bowls, paid for them, helped Gu Yi into the car and went to Yue Hak Lai Restaurant.
The carriage had just stopped at the entrance of the restaurant, and before Gu Yi had even gotten off the carriage, Xiao Si had already ordered in several voices, “Quickly go and prepare tea for the young master, something that can be just right.”
Xiao Si helped Gu Yi down from the carriage and went to the backyard, where the man had already prepared the tea, and Gu Yi drank five or six cups before the taste in his mouth was washed away.
“What’s wrong with young master?”
The shopkeeper came over, seeing Gu Yi like this, and asked worriedly.
Xiao Si peeked at Gu Yi, not daring to say anything.
Gu Yi leaned his head feebly against the back of the chair, listless, “All go out, I want some quiet time.”
The two men went out and gently closed the door.
Gu Yi stared blankly at the roof of the room, his mind recalling Song Wangyue’s calm, waveless eyes just now.
It was clear that the eyes of the little girl were not like this a few days ago, but now she was looking at him like a stranger, if she had really been mad with alcohol and scared her, she would not have been like this, it should have been something that happened on the day she got drunk, but Xiao Si had said that he had not offended the little girl, so it could only be ……
Gu Yi sat up straight in pain, “Xiao Si!”
Xiao Si pushed the door in, before he could stand firm on his feet, he heard Gu Yi ask, “What did my big sister and the little girl say that day?”
