Chapter 103 Big Mouth?
"Boyfriend?" Gu Jingzhi frowned. Male friend, what a strange name.
Li Xi was speechless for a moment, and his eyes turned, "It refers to unmarried men and women who are in a relationship."
Gu Jingzhi didn't know why she had so many strange and novel words in her mouth, but he accepted it well. He looked at her with deep eyes, opened his lips, and a magnetic voice sounded in Li Xi's ears, "Girlfriend."
Looking at his deep eyes staring at her, Li Xi felt as if her heart was hit by something. She sighed in her heart and thought, Gu Jingzhi is quite a capable guy.
Gu Jingzhi rarely saw the uncomfortable look on Li Xi's face, and the corners of his lips curled up, "Let's go, I'll take you back."
He said as he stood up and held out his hands to her.
Li Xi looked at the hand in front of her, was stunned for a moment, then put her hand on it. Gu Jingzhi held her hand, and Li Xi stood up with his strength.
After Li Xi stood up, Gu Jingzhi did not let go of her hand immediately. He lowered his eyes and looked at the small hand in his palm. This was the first time he held a girl's hand, and the only feeling he had was that her hand was so soft.
Li Xi also looked down at the big hand holding hers. Gu Jingzhi's hand was long and slender with distinct joints, which was definitely a boon for those who were obsessed with hands.
Although Gu Jingzhi behaved normally, this was his first time falling in love, so he was naturally nervous. However, he hid his nervousness under a reliable mask.
Anyway, Li Xi didn't notice anything at all. As for Li Xi, she was not nervous at all. Her nervousness had passed. She took things one step at a time and enjoyed herself while she could. That was her attitude.
Gu Jingzhi took Li Xi's hand to the door of the box, pushed it open, and let go of her hand the moment they stepped out of the room.
Li Xi subconsciously scratched her own hands, and then looked at Gu Jingzhi who was standing beside her with a serious face. This guy was really a reserved person. If it weren't for the residual warmth on her hands, she would have doubted whether the confession she heard in the box just now was a dream.
"Ahem, let's go." Gu Jingzhi coughed twice and led the way.
Li Xi looked at his mockery of trying to cover up his crime and couldn't help laughing. She quickly caught up with him, walked side by side with him, and lowered her voice to say, "Are you shy?"
Gu Jingzhi was indeed a little nervous and shy just now, but he would never admit it in front of Li Xi. Gu Jingzhi was a person who was very good at controlling his emotions. He was only embarrassed in front of Li Xi just now because of his emotions.
Seeing the teasing in her eyes, Gu Jingzhi smiled and replied, "I am indeed a little excited."
If he hesitated, Li Xi would inevitably tease him, but he replied so seriously that Li Xi didn't know what to say.
"I'm so outstanding, you really should be a little excited." Li Xi said proudly as she walked beside him with her arms folded.
Seeing her arrogant look, Gu Jingzhi's smile deepened, "Yes, yes, it is my great honor to be favored by Miss Li."
She didn't feel it when she said it, but when he agreed with her, Li Xi felt a little embarrassed.
"Let's go. I want to go back and take a nap." Li Xi took two quick steps.
Although Li Xi acts very comfortable in front of Gu Jingzhi, she, like Gu Jingzhi, is also a beginner in love.
When she agreed to date Gu Jingzhi, she actually didn't feel anything. But when she heard his joke, she suddenly felt the reality of the fact that she had a boyfriend.
Subconsciously, I wanted to escape.
Gu Jingzhi could sense Li Xi's intention to retreat, his eyes darkened slightly, but he would not give her a chance to regret.
Gong Yikun and others were still imprisoned in the prison awaiting interrogation, so Gu Jingzhi sent Li Xi home and left.
After Gu Jingzhi left, Li Xi looked at the door that he closed, a little dazed, feeling a little unbelievable. He just went out to have a meal and when he came back he had a partner?
Although it felt a little unreal, Li Xi never let herself fall into emotional confusion for too long, and soon she got rid of the confusion in her heart.
If you have it, you have it. What’s the big deal? If it doesn’t work, just split it up.
After Gu Jingzhi left, Li Xi planned to find something to do to pass the time. She thought about it over and over again, but still couldn't think of how to pass the time.
There are no shopping malls, no cinemas, and no mobile phones here, so it is really not easy to kill time.
Suddenly, Li Xi's eyes lit up. Got it!
She could go back to Lijiazhuang and check on the medicinal herbs in the fields. She stood up and wanted to go to the room to prepare some things to take back, but she stopped as soon as she stood up.
She forgot that the cement road hasn't been repaired yet. If she goes there now, she will have to endure the bumpy ride again.
But Li Xi didn't want to endure the bumpy ride at all. She had reasons to ride in the carriage several times before. She felt that going to see the fangfeng was not a reason to have to do so. After all, it was not yet the season for harvesting fangfeng.
Just when Li Xi was about to spend the afternoon sitting on a recliner in the sun, there was a knock on the gate.
"Who is it?" Li Xi shouted outside.
A young female voice came from outside the door, scolding, "We are from the Zhenbei General's Mansion, why don't you come and open the door!"
Li Xi knew from the voice that the person was up to no good. She frowned, unable to figure out how she had offended the people at Zhenbei General's Mansion. Could it be that they knew about her and Gu Jingzhi's relationship and came to warn her?
Is Gu Jingzhi that guy so quick to talk?
Li Xi walked to the door while thinking, if she really needed to spend money to leave Gu Jingzhi, how much would she want?
When the gate opened, Li Xi saw a bright-looking girl in pink standing outside. She had big eyes, a small nose and a cherry mouth. The only flaw was the expression on her face.
When she looked at Li Xi, she held her head high and raised her eyes, as if she was looking at someone through her nose, which really seemed too sarcastic.
Li Xi noticed that there were four people dressed as servants following behind her. Compared with her, the expressions on those servants' faces were much more normal, and they looked humble and submissive.
"You are……"
Li Xi was interrupted by the pink-dressed girl before she could finish her words. She looked Li Xi up and down unreasonably, "You are Li Xi?"
Li Xi heard the disdain in her words, saw the contempt in her eyes, and sneered, "It's you, my aunt!"
It was really embarrassing for her.
"You!" Hongxiu pointed at her, shaking with anger. She didn't expect that she, a peasant girl with no parents, would speak to her like this.
The person who came was Hongxiu, Madam Feng's personal maid. It turned out that Madam Feng had been interested in Li Xi since Gu Jingzhi took her to the Zhenbei General's Mansion to get something last time. However, she didn't know Li Xi's identity and couldn't find her even if she wanted to.
Mrs. Feng originally wanted to wait for her son to come back and interrogate him properly, but she didn't expect that Gu Jingzhi didn't come back for several days. The person she wanted to interrogate was not there, so she was anxious but there was nothing she could do.
Today, Gu Jingzhi returned to the Zhenbei General's Mansion, but he did not go to pay his respects to Madam Feng. Instead, he went to the kitchen to ask Aunt Su to make some cakes. Unexpectedly, Aunt Su happened to have made some cakes today, so he just took some and left.
What he didn't know was that as soon as he came back, the doorman reported his return to Mrs. Feng. When Mrs. Feng heard that he went to the kitchen again, she hurriedly sent someone to follow him to see where he had sent the things.
The subordinates naturally did what their master told them to do. Normally, it was impossible for Gu Jingzhi not to notice that someone was following him. But this time it happened to be at home, so he was inevitably a little careless and did not notice it at once.
The servant who secretly followed Gu Jingzhi was also quite smart. He did not go to the kitchen to wait for Gu Jingzhi, but waited for him to come out at the door.
He didn't know when the major general would leave, but he would leave eventually, and the gate was the place he had to pass through.
He was not wrong. After a while, he saw the major general coming out carrying some packaged pastries.
Gu Jingzhi left with the pastries. The servant was afraid that he would find out and did not follow him immediately. Instead, he waited until he was a little further away before quietly following him. He was terrified and afraid of being discovered.
But what he didn't expect was that the young general didn't walk far and turned directly into a courtyard not far from the general's mansion.
He knew that courtyard. That courtyard and the courtyard next to it originally belonged to their general's mansion, but the general had arranged for people to move in a few days ago.
Knowing where the young general had gone, the servant hurried back to report.
After listening to the servant's report, Mrs. Feng was stunned. "What? He went to the side yard?"
Madam Feng at the side recalled for a moment and said, "Oh, right, I remember now that the general had said before that they should have the two courtyards next door cleaned up so that Doctor Wu and a brother and sister could live there.
It seems her last name is Li. Her brother and Doctor Wu's apprentice A Wei are both studying with Mr. Su in the clan school now."
Hearing her say this, Mrs. Feng's eyes lit up, "Sister and brother! Yes, the one he brought that day should be the sister."
Mrs. Feng knew her son well, and she knew that the person who asked her to personally deliver the cakes must have a special relationship with him.
Nanny Feng frowned. There must be some problem behind the two siblings living together, but she didn't know what it was.
Mrs. Feng was spoiled by her parents when she was at home, and was spoiled by Gu Changfeng after she got married, so she has always been naive and simple. She didn't think too much about it. She just wanted to see what the girl that her cold-hearted son liked was like.
But she also knew that Jingzhi was with the girl now, and if she sent someone over there, the girl would definitely not come, so she told the servant, "Go and keep an eye on her, and come back to report when the young general leaves and the girl is alone at home."
"Yes."
After the servant left, Madam Feng held Madam Feng's hand and said, "I thought he was stupid before, but I didn't expect he already has a girl he likes."
Seeing how excited Madam was, Nanny Feng said, "Madam, we don't know what the situation is right now. Let's wait and see."
The brother and sister depend on each other for survival, and this girl probably doesn't have much family background.
"What are you still investigating, Ma'am? When have you ever seen Jingzhi so interested in a girl?" Mrs. Feng felt that there was no way to investigate. The girl surnamed Li must be Jingzhi's sweetheart.
After listening to the conversation between Madam Feng and Nanny Feng, Hongxiu, who was standing behind Madam Feng, tightened the handkerchief in her hand and her pretty face darkened.
Mingyan, who was standing by, glanced at her, saw the anger on her face, and looked away without saying anything.
Although she and Hongxiu were both Madam's personal maids, she had always looked down on Hongxiu, saying that she was ambitious but had a fragile life.
If she continues like this, something bad will happen sooner or later.
She had reminded her before because they grew up together, but not only did she not listen, she even suspected that she was jealous of her.
Over time, she became too lazy to care about her.
After listening to the conversation between Madam Feng and Nanny Feng, Hongxiu felt a surge of anger in her heart, making her upset and anxious.
She was not willing to be a maid forever. Gu Jingzhi's appearance, ability and family background were all first-class. In a sense, she and Gu Jingzhi grew up together.
Seeing him becoming more and more outstanding, how could Hongxiu not be moved? However, she did not dare to express her feelings for him because she knew that given her status, it was impossible for her to be his wife.
But she didn't give up. Since it was impossible for her to be the main wife, she was willing to be a concubine.
So she kept showing off in front of Mrs. Feng, hoping that one day she would be appointed as the concubine of the major general.
As Gu Jingzhi repeatedly refused the appointments arranged by Madam Feng, Madam Feng began to suspect that he had a hidden illness or had not yet awakened, so she planned to arrange a maid to share the room with him.
Hongxiu once accidentally heard Madam Feng telling Nanny Feng that they wanted to arrange a maid to share the room with the young general. From then on, she became more active in showing off in front of Madam Feng, hoping to gain her approval.
She had already made up her mind that once she became the major general's concubine, she would try to give birth to a son before the main wife came in. Then, as the mother of the major general's first child, she would have gained a firm foothold in the general's mansion.
But what she didn't expect was that the major general, who had never been enlightened, suddenly had someone he liked.
She could clearly see that happy days were just around the corner, but at this moment someone suddenly jumped out and told her that it was all just a dream. How could she accept this?
But obviously the development of things will never follow someone's will. No matter how much Hongxiu hopes that all this is false, it is true.
After receiving the order, the servant secretly kept an eye on the movements in Li Xi's house. Not long after, he saw the young general coming out of the yard with a young girl and leaving together.
He didn't dare leave, for fear that they would suddenly come back, so he waited secretly in the dark.
He waited for half a day before the two of them came back. After the servant saw the young general send the girl into the yard and leave, he hurried back to report.
When Mrs. Feng got the news, she immediately sent someone to invite Li Xi, for she was really curious about the girl who had captured her son.
Mrs. Feng originally wanted to ask Nanny Feng to go over and call someone, but before she opened her mouth, Hongxiu volunteered. Mrs. Feng thought about it and decided not to refuse.
Although Hongxiu is not very old, she seems very calm and steady.
Upon hearing this, Nanny Feng glanced at Hongxiu. Although Madam Feng didn't see through Hongxiu's trick, how could Nanny Feng not see it? However, she objected and asked her not to go. Since she was the one the young general liked, it was impossible for her to be unable to handle such a small matter.
