Yuchi Xi picked up the serving chopsticks and helped her pick up a lot of meat, "Sister Gu, you should eat more too!"
"How can your body endure this?"
Gu Xiujiao naturally didn't dare to refuse the food that the little princess picked up, "Little Miss, that's enough, that's enough, I'm more than satisfied with this!"
"Eat more."
She didn't dare eat too much. What if the little princess had nothing to eat?
Yuchi Xi, "Okay."
"Sister Gu, I actually have a question."
Gu Xiujiao, "You ask."
Yuchi Xi supported his head with one hand and looked at her. "It's like this. I've been wondering, if these people encounter difficulties and have no money, and you help them pay for it, will your money still be enough to support your lives?"
"I don't suspect you've been greedy for anything, I'm just worried that you don't have enough to live on..."
Gu Xiujiao was deeply touched. "It's our blessing that the young lady can think so much about us!"
“We still have enough to live on.”
"Young lady, did you see me helping the girl in labor today?"
"Actually, we only help them with major matters like this, where they can't come up with the money. If it's a minor matter, we'll let them continue to find a way to solve it."
"Besides, my elder brother and younger brother are both working outside and can earn some money, which will be used to supplement the family income."
Yuchixi:? Huh?
"In other words, the county magistrate's monthly salary is used to help the people, and you earn extra money to support yourselves?"
"Yes." Gu Xiujiao smiled sheepishly. "Actually, I'm the most useless person in the family. Daddy gets a monthly salary, and my brothers and sisters can earn money by doing errands. Only I don't get a monthly salary and no errands to do, so I can't earn much money."
"I can only run more and try to help Daddy relieve some of the burden."
She had tried needlework before, but what she produced was simply awful!
There was no other way, she could only do such chores.
Yuchi Xi:!!!
"Sister Gu, you are already very good!"
"It's quite good that you can persist like this. Many people can't hold on for more than a day or two."
Gu Xiujiao felt that the little princess was trying to comfort her. "My father, brother, and younger brother all do this every day. Little princess, please don't try to make me happy. I know that what I do can be done by anyone."
Yuchi Xi:? No no no!!!
Really not!!
Others really can't do this.
While they were chatting, Gu Xiujiao's maid came back. She secretly handed the pawned money to Gu Xiujiao. Gu Xiujiao took it, put it in her sleeve, and waited to pay the bill later!
Yuchi Xi looked at Jing Huaian who was walking back. Jing Huaian nodded slightly at her, meaning that the matter had been done.
Yuchi Xi breathed a sigh of relief. Brother Jing really understood her!
The look she gave just now meant that she wanted Brother Jing to tell the pawnshop staff not to let anyone exchange Sister Gu's hairpin. Yuchi Xi added some silver and asked the pawnshop staff to keep it for her, and she could redeem it at any time when she had the silver.
As for why not just buy it or pay for it yourself?
Sister Gu obviously wanted to treat her to a meal. If she rushed to pay the bill at this time, Sister Gu would definitely think that she thought they had no money and was doing it on purpose.
If I buy the hairpin and give it to her, she might feel embarrassed.
In this case, it would be better to keep the hairpin first and redeem it when she earns money in the future. That would be more meaningful.
Yuchi Xi was also thinking about helping the county magistrate to increase his monthly salary.
Halfway through the meal, Gu Xiujiao made an excuse to go and pay the bill. Yuchi Xi saw it but said nothing. After dinner, the two of them walked slowly back to the county magistrate's mansion together.
Yuchi Xi looked at the moon and asked her, "Sister Gu, what kind of person do you want to be in the future?"
Gu Xiujiao raised her eyes to look at the moon, "I want to be someone who can contribute to the Yuan Kingdom!"
"I hope our Yuan Kingdom will get better and better!"
This was not her flattery, she really thought so in her heart.
"I really think our Yuan Kingdom is great!"
“I hope it stays this good forever!”
Yuchi Xi turned his eyes to look at her, the moonlight fell on her face, giving her a layer of soft light. She tilted her head and smiled at her. At that moment, she felt that the most beautiful scenery in the world was just like this.
"Yes."
"I believe what Sister Gu said, it will definitely work!"
Yuchi Xi clenched his fists and cheered her up, "Come on!"
Gu Xiujiao laughed, "What about the little princess? Does the little princess have any dreams?"
Now that there was no one on the street, she shouted with confidence.
Yuchi Xi lowered his eyes and chuckled softly, "My lifelong dream is for the country to be safe, the people to be happy, and my family to be healthy and long-lived."
Of course, she also has a dream, which is to earn endless money and be able to sleep on gold ingots. Hahaha, she can't imagine how happy she will be at that time!
Gu Xiujiao's face was full of seriousness. "Yes, if it's the little princess, I believe you can do it!"
If someone else said this, she would just think that person was thinking too much. But if it was said by the little princess, she would think it was okay!
Of course you can.
After Yuchi Xi sent her back home, he turned around and left with Jing Huaian.
The maidservant who had been following Gu Xiujiao until then finally understood what she meant. "I thought the little princess was coming to our house to sit for a while, or even to sleep here. I didn't expect it was to see you off."
"Your Highness the little princess is so young, yet so thoughtful!"
