Chapter 145 The Lady of the Constable's House (23)
"I want a wreath and a bracelet. I'm not giving you so much silver just for show."
"Miss, you are right. You are beautiful. I will make you a fresh and refined one."
Gu Yuxi took the roses and started making a wreath. Xiao Zhuoxuan was already skillfully looking for suitable flowers for her. The two of them worked very well together.
After the four garland bracelets were ready, Gu Yuxi and the others only heard those people say that the hairpin competition was about to begin.
"Hurry up, hurry up, or you'll miss it."
"Miss is already well..."
Xie Yunhuan anxiously took the things from Gu Yuxi's hand. The others could only smile and follow.
Suddenly, a familiar faint fragrance wafted through Xie Lize's nostrils. It was the smell from that night, and there was no way he could mistake it.
"Girl, can you tell me what you smell like?"
"Master, what do you mean?"
Xiao Zhuoxuan immediately stood in front of Gu Yuxi. Some men's thoughts were written on their faces. She was so naive, what would she do if she was bullied?
"Little brother, you misunderstood. I just wanted to ask the girl about the taste."
Gu Yuxi said, "Sir, I sold a lot of flowers today, so it's inevitable that I'll be stained with some floral scent."
Xie Lize looked straight at Gu Yuxi. There was nothing wrong with him. But that man was a man. He was confused. “I am sorry for being rude.”
After those people left, Xie Lize said nervously, "Miss Gu, those men have ill intentions. You should be more careful when you go out."
"Mr. Xiao, are you concerned about me?"
"I..." Xiao Zhuoxuan felt his face was very hot. He didn't quite understand what Gu Yuxi said about selling flowers just now, but he thought it sounded very nice. Now he was getting more and more nervous and could only stammer, "Yes, we are friends, and it's my duty to care about you."
"Really? Mr. Xiao, I have a bunch of peach blossoms here. Today is the Hairpin Flower Festival. I'll give it to you, my friend! You can't refuse it."
Xiao Zhuoxuan subconsciously took the flower wrapping, thinking of the words of the peach blossoming and radiant flowers, and asked in a low voice: "Miss Gu, have you ever given other men such things?"
"That one I don't have. After all, I have few friends, and you are the first one."
[Satisfaction: 55%]
First, she had never given such a thing to other men. Was he different?
"It's getting late, Mr. Xiao, have you eaten yet? I'll treat you to some pastries."
"Not yet. I'll treat you to a meal. And don't call me Young Master Xiao. It's very strange."
"Then I'll call you Zhuo Xuan. You can call me by my name, not Miss Gu."
"Okay, Yuxi."
Gu Yuxi took out the food box, opened it in front of the stall, and said, "This is the sweet-scented osmanthus steamed cake I made myself, and this is the mung bean cake and buckwheat biscuit, let's eat together."
"This……"
"Don't refuse. The selection of the Hairpin Flower King will be held in a while. Let's eat first."
After eating the cakes, Gu Yuxi said to the passers-by, "Free flowers, don't miss them if you pass by. Sir, can you give one to this girl?"
"Free?"
"Yes, I'm closing my stall, the flowers are free."
"Give me a lotus flower."
"Thank you girl."
"You're welcome."
Coca: “What’s free is the most expensive.”
Xie Lize: "Sir, maybe the girl doesn't care about the money, she just wants to have fun."
Xie Yunhuan: "The Cuipin in the palace has this kind of velvet flower craftsman. A velvet flower sells for more than ten taels, but this girl's is only a few hundred wen."
"I have judged others by my own standards. There are very few people in this world who can do what they want."
Gu Sanhe: "But this girl also touched the interests of other vendors."
Xie Yunhuan: "Anyway, the customers are the beneficiaries. Others don't sell as many varieties of flowers as she does, and they don't make things that women like."
Looking at Xiao Zhuoxuan's attentiveness for no reason, and then seeing Gu Yuxi taking out the pastries she had made, the two of them sitting together, Gu Sanhe also hoped that Xiao Zhuoxuan could find a woman who understood his feelings.
"Okay, now we can go see the Hairpin Flower King. Zhuo Xuan, let's go that way."
Xiao Zhuoxuan put the things on Xiaodai, took Xiaodai's hand and followed the woman in front, but ran into Huang Li'niang with a gloomy face.
"mother."
Hearing this, Gu Yuxi looked at the woman with deep eyes, and she said coldly: "Come with me, don't mess around with other girls."
"Mother, I..."
The woman left without waiting for Xiao Zhuoxuan to speak. Xiao Zhuoxuan looked at Gu Yuxi awkwardly and said, "Yuxi, my mother has something to do. See you next time."
"Eh!"
Seeing Xiao Zhuoxuan's nervous expression, Gu Yuxi frowned. In this era, men valued filial piety and integrity. If he was a mama's boy...
I hope she was overthinking it. After all, that woman looked like someone who was not easy to deal with. I don’t know why the original owner would have made such a request.
Back at the inn, Huang Li Niang taunted, “Why, can’t you be like your playboy father and get angry?”
"Mother, what do you mean?"
Looking at the person she hated in front of her, Huang Liniang felt that it was all this bastard's fault. Why did she have an accident and be laughed at by that man?
"I'm letting you know. I've said before that you're not a member of the Xiao family, so don't go back with us."
"The kid doesn't understand."
"My meaning is very clear, Xiao Zhuoxuan, you shouldn't have the surname Xiao. As for your surname, I don't know either. Just go."
"Mom, don't you recognize me?"
Xiao Zhuoxuan stepped forward nervously, but Huang Liniang's eyes were full of disgust, which was even deeper than before, and Xiao Zhuoxuan's heart sank to the bottom.
"You are a bad omen. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have wasted so much of my life. Raising you to adulthood is already my limit. Do you really want me to take care of you until old age?"
"Mom, what happened to you?"
"I don't recognize you, is this what you mean?"
"The reason? Is it because the missing son-in-law of the Ye family embarrassed you and you dare not face Uncle Sanhe and your relatives and friends in the escort agency?"
Huang Li Niang was immediately furious when her true identity was exposed. She cursed, "This is why I don't like you. You like to talk nonsense everywhere. You are an ungrateful person."
"But I haven't left the Xiao family yet to take care of you in your old age..."
"I have my own plans. If things don't work, I still have Erlang. Do you think you will become a useless person and unable to take care of yourself after leaving the Xiao family?"
"No, I'm not like that. It's just that the grace of raising me..."
"If you must repay the favor, then I ask you to leave the Xiao family on your own initiative and not tell anyone that you are from the Xiao family of Pi County, Xingdong County."
"why?"
Xiao Zhuoxuan felt like he had lost his parents. After so many years, he thought that his mother would accept him one day, but he never expected to be kicked out of the house.
"It's been many years, you should know that I don't like you. I don't know where you came from, little bastard."
Xiao Zhuoxuan taunted: "Oh, could it be that I am not your biological child?"
"I hope so, let's just pretend it's not true. Here is the severance agreement, please sign it. Once you leave this door, I will no longer be your mother."
Looking at the prepared documents of severing the engagement on the table, Xiao Zhuoxuan's remaining expectations disappeared. He looked at Huang Li'niang again and suddenly knelt on the ground.
