Chapter 58: The Secret of Linhu Village 29
Su Qingyun did not do much research on Miss Zhu's eyes. Now she was more concerned about Xu Xinghe's ritual.
After lunch, the Zhu family went to rest, and the housekeeper took care of Xu Xinghe and Su Qingyun and returned to the guest room.
The housekeeper asked Xu Xinghe what auspicious time to choose for the ritual.
Xu Xinghe replied, "Ten o'clock in the evening."
"So what do we need to prepare?"
Xu Xinghe sat down, picked up a pen and started making a list.
Su Qingyun was watching from the side. The list written by Xu Xinghe contained more than a dozen items, not to mention incense burners and candles. He also asked for two copper bells and a cymbal.
The housekeeper went out with the list to prepare things. Su Qingyun sat down and asked Xu Xinghe why he needed to prepare cymbals.
"Prepared for you." Xu Xinghe replied.
"Prepared for me?" Su Qingyun was completely confused. She didn't know how to play this traditional instrument, so why prepare a cymbal?
"You are not trying to play a trick on me!" There is no other possibility except this one.
It’s not like Xu Xinghe really knows how to perform rituals.
Xu Xinghe smiled again, a smile that refused to answer. Su Qingyun stood up and stopped talking to him. She began to pace around the guest room.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
Su Qingyun leaned her head forward but didn't go over. She looked at Xu Xinghe.
Xu Xinghe didn't move either. He sat upright in the chair, holding a brush and practicing calligraphy.
"Mr. Xu!" Su Qingyun called him.
Xu Xinghe, "This is the Republic of China, and the wife is the head of the husband."
Su Qingyun sneered.
Xu Xinghe put down his brush and said, "If you want to sleep in this room tonight, go open the door now."
Su Qingyun, "..." When it comes to threatening people, Xu Xinghe and Ye Jian are on par with each other.
Su Qingyun went over and opened the door. Standing outside was the eldest daughter of the Zhu family.
At this time, the eldest daughter of the Zhu family changed her clothes. Two pigtails hung in front of her chest, a pearl clip was pinned on the top of her head, and she seemed to have put on rouge on her face.
However, it still doesn't look good.
"Miss Zhu, is there anything wrong?" Su Qingyun asked.
Miss Zhu did not answer, but looked past Su Qingyun at Xu Xinghe in the room.
Su Qingyun understood that he was here to find Xu Xinghe.
"You want to see Mr. Xu?"
"Yes."
Su Qingyun made way and said to Xu Xinghe in the room, "Miss Zhu is looking for you."
Xu Xinghe did not respond, but stood up. Unlike Su Qingyun, he did not call the other party "Miss Zhu", but called her by her name.
"Miss Yun'er."
"Yes, Mr. Xu." Zhu Yun'er stepped in. Because of her bound feet, she walked unsteadily.
Su Qingyun was a little worried that she would fall.
Zhu Yun'er entered the house and first bowed to Xu Xinghe, then took out a handkerchief and wiped her nose.
Su Qingyun was familiar with this action, as it was shown in Republican dramas. She was waiting for Xu Xinghe to let her sit.
Xu Xinghe didn't say anything, but stood straight, waiting for Zhu Yuner to speak.
Yes, the eldest daughter of the host family knocked on the door and came in, so of course she had something to say. There seemed to be nothing wrong with standing there and waiting for the other party to speak.
However, Su Qingyun noticed something. The eldest daughter of the Zhu family was just visiting and had nothing serious to talk about.
In order to break the deadlock, Su Qingyun asked Zhu Yuner to sit in the same position where she had just sat.
Opposite Xu Xinghe.
Zhu Yun'er sat down and wiped her nose with her handkerchief again.
Su Qingyun poured her tea. The tea had been prepared in the room long ago, and the teacups were placed next to the seat. Su Qingyun picked up the teapot and poured a cup for Zhu Yuner and also poured a cup for Xu Xinghe.
She felt that her current identity was just a servant in this room.
After pouring the tea, Su Qingyun thought it was time for the two of them to chat.
But it didn't.
Zhu Yun'er was still wiping her nose with a handkerchief, while Xu Xinghe sat down and waited for Zhu Yun'er to speak.
Su Qingyun, "..." She just smiled, sat next to Xu Xinghe, and poured herself a cup of tea.
She thought, today it all depends on who of these two speaks first.
After a while, Zhu Yun'er couldn't hold it in any longer. She asked Xu Xinghe, "Mr. Xu, why don't you ask me why I came?"
"Since Miss Yun'er has come to see me, she must have something to say. Why should I ask?"
What Xu Xinghe said is correct.
But this is the thinking of Xu Xinghe, an executive. In the real world, people who knock on the door to see him are either here to report on their work or to ask for instructions on the next step. It is rare for someone to come in without saying a word and wait for him to ask questions.
But Zhu Yun'er was from the Republic of China, so how could she understand the style of a corporate executive? She came in without saying a word, probably because she wanted to maintain the dignity of a lady.
These two are quite funny.
Su Qingyun picked up the teacup and was about to take a sip, but after thinking for a moment, she put it down again.
Zhu Yun'er wiped the tip of her nose with her handkerchief again, then asked Xu Xinghe shyly, "Mr. Xu, how did you figure out that my sister's problem was her name?"
Xu Xinghe, "I already explained it to you during dinner just now. Didn't Miss Yun'er listen?"
“I listened, but I don’t understand what the basis is.”
It turned out that he came to question Xu Xinghe's ability.
Adhering to the philosophy of being teammates, we all prosper together, Su Qingyun spoke, "Ms. Zhu, the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed. If you don't understand, we can't explain them to you one by one. This matter cannot be explained in just a few words."
Zhu Yun'er glanced at Su Qingyun and said unhappily, "I'm talking to Mr. Xu."
What I mean is, why are you butting in?
Su Qingyun raised her eyebrows, thinking that this Miss Zhu was quite interesting.
Although her feet are so small, she has a big temper.
But where is the demeanor of a lady from a noble family?
Forget it, let’s not bother with an NPC. Su Qingyun took out his black vine staff, played with it in his hand, and decided to ignore the two people in the room.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Yun'er confronted her. She asked Xu Xinghe, "Is your fiancée always so rude and disrespectful?"
Su Qingyun, "..."
Xu Xinghe, “…”
Zhu Yuner added, "I don't think she's worthy of Mr. Xu."
This time it was Su Qingyun's turn to wipe her nose because she smelled the scent of tea.
At the same time she wanted to laugh.
It’s not possible that the eldest daughter of the Zhu family has fallen for Xu Xinghe. This is really worth laughing about.
Xu Xinghe replied, "That's just what Miss Yun'er thinks."
Su Qingyun suppressed her urge to laugh. She glanced at Xu Xinghe and thought that this man must often meet tea art masters in the real world.
No wonder he has a girlfriend, he deserves one.
Unexpectedly, Xu Xinghe's words completely angered Miss Zhu, who was pretending to be reserved. She stood up and pointed at Su Qingyun and asked Xu Xinghe, "She is so ugly, what do you like about her?"
Xu Xinghe replied calmly, "I like her ugliness."
Su Qingyun, "..." She subconsciously touched her face.
It seems different.
He looks numb and lazy as if he has a face full of acne.
Oh my god, can the dungeon now change the appearance of the person who passes it?
This 2.0 is too scary.
"Ding Dong" the mobile phone text message push sound rang.
Zhu Yun'er looked over, this time with not only jealousy but also resentment.
Su Qingyun stood up and said, "Sorry, you guys can chat slowly, I have some personal matters to deal with."
She left the room and closed the door behind her.
