Chapter 242: What's Your Name, Girl?
Mr. Xu suddenly realized and turned his head, his face full of apology, "Excuse me, excuse me--"
"I don't know why, but I feel this girl is very familiar, as if I have seen her somewhere before."
Gu Fei curled her lips slightly, isn't this a common routine of the scumbag in the previous life.
Mr. Xu asked Gu Fei with a smile, "Is this girl Miss Gu's sister? It doesn't look like it."
Gu Fei's facial features are open and closed, and her appearance is more gorgeous.
Lan Zhi's eyebrows are weak, and she looks quiet and beautiful.
Gu Fei said lightly: "She is a distant cousin."
Although Lan Zhi was embroidering with her head down at the counter, several people were sitting in the lobby, and Lan Zhi heard their words clearly, and her face became redder.
Gu Fei turned to Su Chen, "By the way, I haven't thanked Mr. Su for the gift he sent the other day. It's too expensive."
Su Chen waved his hand, "It's nothing."
He leaned forward slightly, "Now, is the lady managing this inn by herself?"
Gu Fei nodded, "I heard from Brother Zhang that Mr. Su is studying in the academy now?"
Su Chen smiled, "He is studying in Qinglian Academy."
Gu Fei raised his eyebrows slightly. Qinglian Academy is very famous even in later generations.
This academy has experienced ups and downs for thousands of years, and has produced many great scholars, great Confucian scholars, and high-ranking officials.
Gu Fei smiled and said, "Then the young master must be very knowledgeable."
Mr. Xu waved his fan and glanced at Su Chen with a smile, "Of course, Zixiu can write beautiful articles. He is the first in the academy in this monthly exam."
"The teacher said that Zixiu must have a place in the exam this autumn."
Gu Fei thought to herself that the autumn exam is the provincial exam, which is also the exam for the candidates. It seems that Mr. Su has already won the title of a scholar.
Su Chen blushed slightly and waved his hand, "It's just luck."
Gu Fei smiled and said, "Then congratulate the young master in advance. If the young master passes, send someone to send a letter so that I can give him a gift."
It's also a way to repay the favor of the green jade cabbage.
She stood up, "The two gentlemen, please sit down for a while. I'm going to change my clothes."
Gu Fei got up and went to the backyard.
As soon as Gu Fei left, Master Xu also stood up and walked to the counter. He smiled at Lanzhi who was embroidering with her head down, "What's your name, young lady?"
Lanzhi was already tense when she saw him coming over. When she heard his question, her face turned redder. She didn't say anything, but just lowered her head to embroider.
Master Xu said again, "Young lady, you have such skillful hands. I have never seen such delicate embroidery."
Lanzhi vaguely understood what the young master meant. She bit her lip and put down the embroidery frame and went to the backyard without caring that there was no one to look after the counter.
Master Xu looked at Lanzhi's back and disappeared at the back door, feeling lost.
Su Chen frowned slightly as he looked at Master Xu. He used to look at Master Xu in the academy, but who knew that he behaved quite frivolously today.
The Qinglian Academy where he was studying now was a day's drive away from Ping'an City. He finally had a three-day break and just got home last night. He just wanted to see Gu Fei early this morning.
Who knew that Mr. Xu came to the door early in the morning. Su Chen had no choice but to bring him along.
Who knew that he would stare at the young lady without any scruples.
Not long after, Gu Fei came out, still wearing a moon-white fine cotton skirt, but changed into a clean one.
Su Chen saw that Mr. Xu was still craning his neck to look at the back door, and was worried that he would cause trouble. He stood up and bowed to Gu Fei, "Miss Gu, Brother Xu and I have to go to the bookstore, so we won't disturb you."
