Chapter 317 Mr. Beggar

There are many small stories recorded in "Anecdote of Holy Virtue", and Gu Chaoyan chose a story about Mr. Beggar and read it to the old lady.

Before Mr. Beggar became Mr. Beggar, he was the splendid champion.

The story of Mr. Beggar's life is very long. Gu Chaoyan read it casually while holding the book. The old lady sat on the reclining chair, smiling occasionally, and taking a sip of tea, but Gu Chaoyan was very devoted. Under that ginkgo tree, She read with her somewhat clear and cold voice, her mouth opened and closed.

Even the servant girls serving next to them listened to the story with great devotion.

The maids are all illiterate, and they can't read such books at ordinary times. The masters and men read the Four Books and Five Classics. Some people there will read such little stories and listen to them. For a while, it's a little novel.

When Zhou Huaijin came over, no one noticed him.

Until he sat down, a maid wanted to salute, he waved his hand and signaled. Listen to the story quietly with them.

When it comes to the end.

The old lady still had an unfinished expression on her face.

It was the maid next to the old lady, who seemed to understand but didn't understand, and couldn't help asking: "Miss Gu, did the beggar finally find the girl named Lang'er?"

The maid's voice was clear, and there were doubts in her words.

The provoked old lady laughed and looked at the maid next to her: "You, you."

The maid was a little embarrassed.

But he didn't understand what the old lady meant, and he was even more confused now.

"When did you come?" Gu Chaoyan was a little surprised when she saw Zhou Huaijin sitting next to her when she put down the book in her hand.

Zhou Huaijin smiled: "It's been a while since I saw your input, so I didn't bother."

After speaking, she looked at the maid who asked the question, her face was not as cold and serious as before, but she was in a good mood, and explained gently, "It doesn't really matter if Mr. Beggar has found that girl Langer. already."

The maid is even more confused now.

On the other hand, Zhou Huaijin picked up the book that Gu Chaoyan had just put aside, flipped through it with interest, and then said with a look of interest: "Usually we read the Four Books and Five Classics, but these essays are also very interesting."

"You might as well say that Chaoyan is interesting." Mrs. Jiang looked at Zhou Huaijin with a discerning expression.

Zhou Huaijin was calm.

Gu Chaoyan's ears were a little rosy, and she didn't know what to say for a while, so she took a sip of tea. The tea was so carefree that she almost choked.

Madam Jiang was embarrassed for fear of the girl's thin skin, so she quickly changed the topic and said, "Chaoyan, if you have time, pick me some more interesting books like this, and I will read them when I am bored. Look."

"Okay." Gu Chaoyan agreed immediately.

The old lady is getting old.

After talking with everyone for a while, we will go to rest.

Zhou Huaijin and Gu Chaoyan were left in the courtyard.

-

The days in Jiang Mansion were easy, and the days passed without knowing it.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Gu Chaoyan and Zhou Huaijin spent together with Mrs. Jiang in the Jiang Mansion. The old lady likes quietness, and even during the holidays, she is not too bright. The mansion only prepared a relatively hearty dinner, and the family had a dinner together.

After having dinner.

The old lady drove Zhou Huaijin and Gu Chaoyan to go out to the night market.
