2187 Chapter 2187-set on her
Dongxue went down to get the food.
She finally realized that Zheng Qiu was a girl. Hence, she was no longer as surprised as before when she saw Gu Xin and Zheng Qiu’s close relationship.
Gu Xin walked to the basin and washed her face with cold water. She then went to the dressing table to tidy her hair before going to Zheng Qiu’s room next door.
Zheng Qiu had already woken up, but he did not want to get out of bed.
“Xinxin, you’re awake too.” Seeing Gu Xin enter, Zheng Qiu sat up in embarrassment.
“Yes, I just woke up. I’ve already asked Dongxue to bring the food. This girl has been bored out of her mind in the Wang Residence these past few days. We’re both exhausted.” Gu Xin sat by the table and lifted the teapot. Realizing that it was full, she asked, ” did the people in the courtyard add this? ”
“Yes, I took a sip when I went to bed just now. It’s still hot. Perhaps Lord Liu knows that we don’t like to drink tea, so this teapot is filled with plain water.” Zheng Qiu said.
well, that’s good. Put on your clothes first. I’ll drink some water. Gu Xin nodded her head and placed a Jade bead into the teapot at an angle that Zheng Qiu could not see.
She had been in Thailand for a few days. Apart from the one pill she used to soak in water every day, she had already stored dozens of pills in a bottle and asked Dongxue to take them with her.
This was the first one he had taken out today.
Naturally, Zheng Qiu did not see Gu Xin’s actions. After putting on her clothes, she went to the rack to wash up. When she came back after washing up, Gu Xin had already poured her a glass of water.
“This water is quite sweet.” Zheng Qiu said after taking a sip.
“Maybe the people in the courtyard went to get the mountain spring! The environment in the mountains was good. To be able to choose to build such a courtyard here, he really had good taste. It’s a very suitable place to live in seclusion.” Gu Xin said calmly.
“It really is. When I looked out from the carriage just now, the surroundings were indeed quite beautiful. Moreover, it was so cool in this season. It was really comfortable. I forgot to cover myself with a blanket when I fell asleep, and I was woken up by the cold.” Zheng Qiu said with a smile.
At this moment, Dongxue came over with a tray and a servant girl.
Although it was called millet congee and a few side dishes, the amount of food was actually quite large. Gu Xin and Zheng Qiu were both quite good at eating and had gone to sleep without eating lunch. Now that they saw the food, they did not even bother to say anything and picked up their chopsticks to eat.
The pot of millet congee and a few large plates of side dishes were all finished by the two of them. However, to the two of them, this was just to fill their stomachs. Thinking that there would be dinner soon, they did not say that they wanted to eat more.
After the meal, the servant girls cleaned up the table while Gu Xin and Zheng Qiu brought Dong Xue to look for Bai er in white. They planned to go fishing in their free time.
Gu Xin had never participated in fishing before and was rather interested in it.
The people in the courtyard had already prepared the fishing rods and bait. The four of them sat in a row and chatted in low voices while paying attention to the movements in the water.
An hour later, someone came to inform them that Lord Liu, the generals, and their families were about to arrive, so they stopped.
However, Bai Yi and second White’s faces turned pale.
If not for the fact that they knew Gu Xin when she was eleven and second Bai had always been by her side, they would have suspected that Gu Xin was just trying to coax them when she said that she had never fished before.
In this bucket, eight out of ten fish were caught by Gu Xin. These fish seemed to have their eyes on Gu Xin’s hook and only took it. If the brothers had caught a few fish in the beginning, they would have gotten nothing today.
