Chapter 117: Apprenticeship Banquet
"No, no, I'll go!" After saying that, he prepared to go out.
Gu Yunyi stood up, quickly grabbed her and said, "Meng Niang, you don't have to do this."
"I······"
Before Xu Qingmeng could say anything, Gu Yunyi spoke up: "I was wrong last night. You didn't do anything wrong. It was me who was being unreasonable."
Gu Yunyi now thinks that even though Xu Qingmeng was pregnant with their child, she only said to give it a try and never revealed her feelings. It was just that he took it for granted and felt that he was capable.
After all, it was because he did not adjust his mindset. The road to pursuing his wife is still long and arduous!
Xu Qingmeng paused for a moment, then looked up and asked, "What happened to you yesterday?"
Gu Yunyi paused for a moment, then remained silent for a moment. He just looked at her and said, "I heard someone mention Brother Lin yesterday?"
Brother Lin?
who?
It took Xu Qingmeng two seconds to realize that the Brother Lin he was talking about was Lin Yichen.
Xu Qingmeng hesitated for two seconds, which made him frown slightly, and he even felt a little frustrated and a little disappointed.
well!
"Forget it, it's nothing." He let her go, then avoided her sight and said, "It was my fault last night. I knew you were not feeling well, but I still found fault with you. I apologize to you. It's my own fault. You really don't have to do this for me."
Xu Qingmeng hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, I understand."
What she didn't say was that Gu Yunyi was usually a very smart person, but the lie he just told was so obvious that there was something wrong with it.
She didn't argue with him anymore. She just watched him go into the house to wake up the two children while she herself fell into deep thought.
In fact, Lin Yichen was just a lifesaver to her. She had only met him a few times and was not very familiar with him. The rest were just Lin Yichen's own thoughts. She had no thoughts about him at all.
But now it was obvious that Gu Yunyi had misunderstood. Xu Qingmeng frowned slightly. She felt that she should find a time to clarify the matter with him.
After the two little guys finished their meal, they went to the alley to find their friends. Gu Yunyi was reading in the study at this time.
Xu Qingmeng originally wanted to find Gu Yunyi to explain things clearly, but then she heard He shouting, asking everyone in the family to change their clothes.
Xu Qingmeng just remembered that he had said yesterday that he would take Xun Ge'er to a restaurant for lunch at noon.
Xun Ge'er's wound on his arm has healed now. Gu Yunyi said that he would send him to be an apprentice to the accountant.
That gentleman is also from the West District. Although he doesn't live nearby, he is not far from Gu's restaurant.
Mr.'s son is also a student of this year.
After the provincial examination, this person had a lot of contact with Gu Yunyi.
Mr. Zhou has already met Lai Xun'er and thought he was a very good guy. He also agreed to teach him. Today is the formal apprenticeship banquet.
Xu Qingmeng stopped and thought about explaining it later.
At noon, they met with the Zhou family at a restaurant in the West District. Although the restaurant was not big, it had a very good reputation and the food was also very delicious.
Mengniang originally wanted to buy it at home, but He didn't want Mengniang to be too tired, and she was pregnant now. Also, it was so hot in summer, so Mengniang didn't argue.
The two families have already met privately several times, and neither of them was shy. The Gu family came with their entire family, and Zhou's family of three also came.
Aunt Zhou is a talkative person. She usually does housework at home and takes care of the father and son's food, clothing, housing and transportation.
The Zhou family is considered a well-off family and they live a good life. Aunt Zhou is also quite content and has a carefree personality.
So was He, so the two of them got along very well. After a while, they started chatting about West Street gossip and such, and they were chatting very enthusiastically.
Aunt Zhou kept saying to He: "Xun'er is a very honest child. When it comes to taking an apprentice, cleverness is secondary. The most important thing is to be careful and down-to-earth. I have seen a lot of these children in the past few years, but at first glance, those children all have their own little thoughts. Only your child is honest and steady."
It was the first time that Xun Ge'er was praised in person by someone like this. He felt a little embarrassed and his face turned red. Accountant Zhou was not a serious person and just watched with a smile on his face.
"That's how your master's wife speaks. You'll get used to it." Accountant Zhou saw Xun Ge'er's shyness and said.
Xun Ge'er nodded and said politely, "Yes, Master."
As soon as Zhou Yuanjia came in, he started discussing something with Gu Yunyi, while Xu Qingmeng and Xinting were eating and drinking with the two children.
Soon, the waiter started serving the dishes, six cold dishes, six hot dishes, and two soups, one meat and one sweet soup.
There were fourteen dishes in total, filling up a large table, and each one was very generous in portion and very appetizing. No wonder it received rave reviews even though the place is not big.
Following He's eye hint, Xun'er first served a bowl of hot soup to Accountant Zhou, and then served a bowl each to Aunt Zhou and He.
When serving it to Gu Yunyi and Zhou Yuanjia, Zhou Yuanjia waved his hand and said, "I don't like it. I can just serve myself a bowl of sweet soup."
Aunt Zhou looked up at her son. How could she not know when her son fell in love with this sweet taste? However, she did not say it out loud.
The sweet soup is made of glutinous rice dumplings, which is sweet and the children like it very much. When the waiter served the dishes just now, he placed the glutinous rice dumplings in front of Yun Sheng and Yun Mo.
Xun Ge'er was quite far away, so Xin Ting sat next to Yun Mo and took the bowl: "I'm closer, let me do it."
Then he stood up, lowered his head and began to serve the soup, and then carefully handed it to Zhou Yuanjia: "The soup is still a little cold, be careful."
"Sorry to bother you Miss Xinting, thank you."
Xinting smiled lightly, then turned to Gu Yunyi: "Uncle, do you want it?"
"No." Gu Yunyi waved his hand.
Xinting filled another half bowl and placed it in front of Xu Qingmeng. She knew that her aunt liked sweets, but this was made with rice wine and she was pregnant now, so she only filled a little more.
Aunt Zhou saw all of this, and because of her son's behavior, she naturally figured out something and then she laughed.
My son is eighteen years old this year. A few years ago, when I asked him to watch it, he used studying as an excuse and kept putting it off.
Now looking at his appearance, I think he has fallen in love with the girl.
In fact, she had been secretly asking him these days. At his age, and having passed the imperial examination, it was time for him to think about his lifelong affairs.
The boy from the Gu family is younger than her son, and he is about to become a father.
