Hu Xu was disappointed for a moment when he heard that Xu Jiang was not there. When Lin Hongchu asked, he shook his head and said, "Nothing, I just stopped by to take a look."
In fact, I hadn't seen you for a few days and was worried about you, so I found an excuse to come and see you, but I didn't expect to see you.
"How's Sili these days? No one's causing trouble anymore, right?"
"No, it's always been fine."
"Then I'll feel at ease."
"Brother, would you like to come in and sit for a while?"
"No." It would be boring to sit around without her, and besides, he had to go to class. "Give her a shout for me."
Lin Hongchu nodded.
Hu Xu smiled, turned around and was about to leave.
Lin Hongchu called him, "Brother."
Hu Xu turned around and asked, "Anything else? Is there anything you don't understand?"
When Lin Hongchu saw his gentle smile, she couldn't say what she wanted to say. She just shook her head and said, "I just want to wish my brother a speedy success in the imperial examination."
Hu Xu curled his eyes and said, "Thank you very much, Ji Yan. I'll be leaving now."
Lin Hongchu stared at his back and sighed. He was about to take the imperial examination, and it was not appropriate for her to interfere in this matter, so she decided to let them solve it themselves later.
After watching the person leave, she was about to turn around and go back to the store, but was startled by the sudden appearance of Shopkeeper Wang behind her.
"Oh, my goodness!"
Shopkeeper Wang quickly consoled her and asked, "Wasn't that Brother Zhuchun just now?"
Lin Hongchu nodded.
Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Wang shook his head and sighed, "Zhuchun, Zhuchun, prepare well for the exam. You are destined to fail in love, but you must not fail in the imperial examination."
Lin Hongchu sighed and shook his head, looking very puzzled. "Uncle Wang, what do you want to do?"
"Ah? Oh, yes!" Shopkeeper Wang came back to his senses and turned to walk back into the shop. "I came to buy some paper and a stick of ink. That brat has squandered all the money at home."
"Oh, I'll get it for you."
Xu Jiang stood in the clothing shop, sweating profusely. The shop was run by a couple. The shopkeeper was a good talker and could praise anyone as beautiful as a fairy.
As soon as Xu Jiang came in, she said only a few words and then she was pulled by her to try on clothes back and forth, saying that this one was beautiful and that one was also nice-looking.
Finally, she could no longer bear it and, from among the pile of colorful dresses, she chose a wide-sleeved skirt in gardenia yellow and willow green and a narrow-sleeved skirt in plum green. The plum green one was for Lin Hongchu, and it looked fresh and young on the little girl.
After the shopkeeper packed her dress for her, she paid the money and ran away like the wind.
When we got back to the store, we let the girl try on the clothes first. If they didn't fit, we could change them.
"Raise your hand." Xu Jiang put the dress on her. It fit her perfectly and the color also suited her.
Lin Hongchu tugged at her new dress awkwardly and said, "How can I let my boss spend so much money?"
"It costs money even if it doesn't cost anything. You are not allowed to say no." Xu Jiang pinched her face.
Alas, who wouldn't like such a good boss? No wonder Mr. Lou and Brother Zhuchun both admire her.
Thinking of Hu Xu, Lin Hongchu whispered, "Brother Zhuchun came here and said he was on his way. It looked to me like he came here specifically to see you, the boss. But when he saw you weren't here, he left."
Hearing her say that Hu Xu had been here, Xu Jiang just sighed.
"Master, I saw his expression and couldn't bear to say it out loud."
Who could bear it?
Xu Jiang looked back at the painting of "Drying Persimmons" behind the counter, thought for a moment, walked over and took it down, looked at it again and again, and then carefully put it into the box.
So, you’ll know it at first sight.
There is no need to say it out loud, just give each other room and when we meet again in the future, we can just be close friends.
When Lin Hongchu saw the painting being sealed in the box, for some reason, his eyes became red.
