Chapter 99 Childhood Sweethearts
The Fucha cake is boiled to a thick consistency and added with enough sugar.
It can not only warm the body and refresh the mind, but also replenish the calories consumed by the body.
Meng Chengping took a sip and praised out of habit, "Boss Gu's tea-making skills are getting better and better, almost catching up with my brother Mu."
As he finished speaking, he realized something, turned his head and glanced at the two people in the middle, his expression became a little strange.
He Jinghui covered the tea bowl with both hands and exhaled a breath of hot air comfortably, "Loose tea has become popular in Beijing in recent years."
"But according to my taste, I prefer this brewed strong tea."
He smiled at Gu Xixi and said, "A Zhao has a strange temper and a cold personality. He has caused you a lot of trouble these days, right?"
"A little bit." Gu Xixi said truthfully, "But I also caused him a lot of trouble."
For example, repeatedly forcing a woman of poor character onto him in an attempt to make them an official couple.
For example, let him be a coachman or a servant to chop wood and fetch water.
For example, he was encouraged to become a village school teacher.
…
Gu Xixi paused, then smiled slightly, "In general, no one suffered any loss."
Of course He Jinghui had no idea what had happened to Mu Nanzhao in Huachidu Village, and just thought that Gu Xixi was just being polite.
"That boy is lucky to have met a noble lady like Madam Gu."
"First, they took him in and took care of him, and this time they braved the heavy snow and traveled thousands of miles to attack him."
"If Madam Gu hadn't gone to report the news and General Meng hadn't led his troops to rescue us in time, the three of us would probably..."
When he spoke of touching things, his shrewd and calculating fox eyes were filled with sincerity.
"He has replaced the wine with tea. Thank you again."
Gu Xixi nodded slightly and took a sip in response.
Meng Chengping held up the tea bowl and said with a smile, "Isn't it a bit too perfunctory to use tea instead of wine?"
He Jinghui chuckled, "It's indeed not enough to express my feelings."
"How about waiting for things to settle down in the next two days and I'll prepare some good wine for General Meng to get drunk?"
Meng Chengping high-fived him, "Okay, it's settled!"
At this time, He Jinglan turned around a little unhappy and said, "A Zhao is still resting, can you guys stop arguing?"
He Jinghui spread his hands, gestured for silence, and whispered to Meng Chengping:
"I can't help it. My sister has been spoiled by my family since she was young. She has a bad temper and is not easy to mess with."
Meng Chengping nodded, "I see," but glanced at Gu Xixi playfully.
One is the original owner who bought Mu Nanzhao, and today he has the added bonus of saving his life.
The other is a childhood sweetheart who has known each other since childhood. It is touching to see them sharing weal and woe.
When these two women meet, no one knows whether it will be a blessing or a disaster for Mu Nanzhao when he wakes up?
Gu Xixi knew without guessing that Meng Chengping had no good intentions, so she just buried her head in drinking tea and ignored him.
One was that she had been riding for two consecutive days and was so tired that she was too lazy to even move her fingers.
Second…she was trying hard to recall the plot of the original book.
Although she had not listened to the entire book, she knew that He Jinglan was also a relatively important female supporting role.
The He family and the Mu family are both prominent families.
Brother and sister He Jinghui and He Jinglan often stayed at the Mu family since they were young.
The elders of the He family are even more interested in bringing He Jinglan and Mu Nanzhao together.
However, the two children are still young, and Mu Nanzhao entered the officialdom at an early age and is busy all day long, so he has no intention of getting married and starting a family for the time being.
He Jinglan's family also wanted to wait until the girl grew up and became more capable, and then ask her opinion before making a decision.
Who knew that this delay would lead to something unexpected.
The situation in the palace changed dramatically. Mu Nanzhao was labeled a traitor overnight and his life or death was unknown.
The book says that before Gu Qingye, Mu Nanzhao did not understand true love between men and women.
He Jinglan was the only girl he was close to, and the two elders tacitly approved of her.
So before Mu Nanzhao fled the capital, he also tacitly agreed that he would marry He Jinglan one day.
It wasn't until he fell in love with Gu Qingye that he naturally changed his mind.
Gu Xixi covered her face with the tea bowl and peeked into the inner room.
This Miss He seems to be deeply in love with Mu Nanzhao.
If the fate between Mu Nanzhao and Gu Qingye has ended.
Will He Jinglan naturally take his place and become Mu Nanzhao's true love?
Gu Xixi was thinking deeply when He Jinglan suddenly stood up and walked out.
Gu Xixi retracted her gaze and poured a bowl of sugar tea, "Ms. He, please sit down and drink something hot."
He Jinglan was dressed in men's clothes and looked cool and dashing. She sat next to Gu Xixi with confidence and said, "Thank you."
"We have been through life and death together. Calling me Miss He is too strange. Miss Xixi, just call me Jinglan."
He Jinglan's delicate little face, like a porcelain doll, was originally very gentle, but combined with her generous demeanor, it added three points of heroic spirit, making her look even more lively and likable.
Gu Xixi had a good first impression of her and said, "Jinglan."
He Jinglan smiled happily, completely different from the way she had been shouting and shouting at the Ma County Magistrate before.
"We have to keep watch tonight. Xixi, can you tell us how Zhao is doing in the village? Is it difficult for him to adapt?"
He Jinghui interrupted, "Just tell me straight, you just want to hear what embarrassing things happened to Master Mu Nanzhao, who has been like an immortal since childhood, has a mysophobia, is picky, and is high and mighty."
Gu Xixi and Meng Chengping both laughed when they heard this.
Since it was time for chatting, Gu Xixi didn't mind talking about some harmless parts.
He Jinglan was shocked when she heard this: "What? He can chop wood and fetch water?"
"He loves cleanliness the most. He has hated the smell of animals since he was a child. How could he drive a mule cart himself?"
"He has the least patience with children. The village teacher? Xixi, you are kidding."
…
Even He Jinghui was shocked and exclaimed, "Great, this move is really great!"
"If I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I would never have believed that he would take care of children in the village, let alone other people."
Gu Xixi's impression of Mu Nanzhao was further confirmed by the words of the He brothers and sisters.
Everyone knows that such a powerful official and nobleman does not belong here.
Even though he fell temporarily, Huachidu Village and the farming life in the village would ultimately only be a past event that remained in his memory.
but……
Gu Xixi smiled and looked at He Jinglan with her chin in her hand.
This girl is much better than Gu Qingye. Not only is she pretty, but she is also very straightforward. She knows Mu Nanzhao very well, and they are a perfect match...
Gu Xixi thought of so many benefits without realizing it, and suddenly she despised herself for thinking too much.
At most, she is Mu Nanzhao's temporary partner now, not his biological mother!
At this time, He Jinglan turned to Gu Xixi and said, "Xixi, do you like A Zhao?"
The incident happened suddenly and Gu Xixi couldn't help but spit out the tea.
She looked at He Jinglan as if she was frightened, "Huh?"
He Jinglan smiled and moved closer to Xixi, "What are you talking about? You've bought him for more than half a year, and nothing has happened?"
"No." Gu Xixi denied it without hesitation.
Like Mu Nanzhao? How is that possible, unless she is really stupid!
