Chapter 268 Eating Fruit
"But the rich people are so good at judging faces. Those young ladies are either wearing gold and silver or have rosy cheeks. You can tell at a glance that they are from wealthy families." Yu Shui also echoed.
"I wonder if the two gentlemen have chosen any of them. Those girls are so pretty that I would be overwhelmed by the choices." Guyu joked with a smile.
Actually, she didn't spend much time in the front hall today, but from what everyone described her as, she must be a very pretty young lady.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, if you all like them, then marry them both home." Qiufen joked and everyone laughed.
An Qiao just remained silent, not for any reason. When they met today, she listened a few times and felt quite awkward, almost the same as when she experienced a blind date in her previous life.
"Young lady, if it were you, which one would you like?" Finally, the gossip finally reached An Qiao's ears.
"If I like someone, I'd like someone like Miss Ma, who is smart, lively, innocent, and so cute!" An Qiao said without hesitation. Most of the people today were either too silent or sharp-tongued, while Miss Ma was silly and foolish, but she was more adorable.
"Hey, young lady, I mean which of the two young gentlemen would you choose? Not those young ladies. I still want to be a young gentleman, hahahaha." Qiufen laughed, and his ears turned red.
"Gentlemen? I chose the ones that were there. There's no need to bother. I think each has its own merits." An Qiao said perfunctorily. She didn't really want to answer this question. After all, answering it would just spark another round of gossip.
"Well, I think the eldest son of the Gu family is better. He looks much calmer. The second son of the Gu family seems to be emotionally unstable sometimes." Qiufen thought about it and immediately came to a conclusion.
Before she could finish her thoughts, she saw Tong Yiyi standing behind her with a red face, "Qiuqiu, is there something I didn't do well enough?"
An Qiao was fed another mouthful of dog food, and silently took her own bowl to get more food. She really wanted to write a sign, "Don't bully single dogs."
……
A few days passed. Time always seemed to pass quickly in the busyness, and half of the soaps piled up in the warehouse were sold.
As the profits on both sides grew higher and higher, An Qiao couldn't help but consider the lakeside residence.
But when I took the photo of this house, I was planning to escape from the secret room. But this is a haunted house after all, and it may offend many people's taboos. Who knows, this is an unconventional thing to do.
The first step is to find a skilled master to change the feng shui and the layout, otherwise An Qiao would not dare to treat human life as worthless.
But even so, An Qiao still had a lot to hesitate about. This was no small matter. If something went wrong inside, she would have no way to explain herself.
In modern times, at least there is surveillance and security measures have been taken.
In ancient times, if you fell, you might even die.
We can only consider reducing the degree of terror, creating some atmosphere, and then recruiting some NPCs everywhere to protect everyone's safety.
Thinking about how there were still so many things to do, An Qiao felt a headache again. She decided not to think about it anymore. She should put aside the things that she couldn't figure out for the time being.
Maybe because she didn't close the window when she went to bed at night and it was raining outside, Anqiao actually had a fever the next day.
In this era, fever is a serious matter and can result in death if you are not careful.
Qi Tao was so frightened that he didn't go to Huancai Tower today. He was in a hurry to find a doctor. Jinli was also frightened that he kept changing the cooling towels for Anqiao.
In addition to being busy with the restaurant business outside, there were also many people who were eager to see An Qiao.
Fortunately, the doctor said that it was not a serious problem and I just needed to rest and lower the temperature.
But everyone was still very anxious. An Qiao was lying on the bed drowsy and had no appetite. She was constantly fed bitter medicine soup. These medicines were all traditional Chinese medicine and tasted very bitter. An Qiao kept frowning while taking them.
Gu Qingyun came at noon, and when he heard that the young lady was sick, he left without saying a word. When he came back in the afternoon, he brought a whole basket of fruits.
"Give it to your young lady. This, the imperial physician said, can reduce fever. This... seems to be able to clear away heat and quench thirst. This, after taking the medicine, your mouth won't be so bitter if you eat one. And this, you can't eat too much of this, but it can clear away heat and resolve phlegm, so let her eat some. Although she has caught a cold, it's definitely fine to eat some fruit for a summer disease. I've asked the imperial physician at the Imperial Hospital, and it should be fine. Give it to her. If she wants to eat anything else, just tell me and I'll find it for her."
Gu Qingyun didn't look anxious at all, and his tone was calm, but his words were like a drum, and every word hit people's hearts.
Even though An Qiao could only hear a few words vaguely, she felt that it was good to have a friend who cared about her like this, and she silently apologized in her heart for scolding him a few days ago.
"My dear, Master Gu is so good to you. We didn't even think of finding these fruits for you. Take a look and see which ones you want to eat. Eat something at least. If you are sick and have no strength, you will become even weaker if you don't eat. This is what you told us before." Qi Tao walked into the yard carrying a basket and introduced them to An Qiao with a smile.
An Qiao picked a pear that looked pretty good, "Let's take this one, it looks like it will quench your thirst."
She was now feeling dry mouth from the burning sensation.
When Qi Tao finished feeding An Qiao and walked out of the hospital, he saw Gu Qingyun still standing there.
Qi Tao was stunned for a moment, then said, "The young lady picked a pear to eat. It looks delicious. The young lady likes it very much."
Gu Qingyun's expressionless face finally showed a hint of joy, "If she likes it, I'll find some more tomorrow."
Qi Tao waved his hand, "The young lady said that you don't need to bother her anymore. Thank you for your kindness."
Gu Qingyun hung his head like a lost puppy. No one knew what he was thinking in his heart, but he calmed himself down in an instant.
"It's okay, it's no trouble, it's just a piece of cake. There aren't many cases in the Dali Temple recently, so I'm pretty free every day."
It’s strange to say, ever since the last incident in Guojiazhuang, the number of cases reported to the Dali Temple has decreased exponentially. I don’t know if it’s because the emperor is afraid that Gu Qingyun will really resign, or for some other reason, but he has been quite idle recently anyway.
"Thank you, Mr. Gu. The young lady said that it is not convenient for her to see guests now. You can come back another day to enjoy her cooking." Qi Tao said again.
Gu Qingyun clicked his tongue, "I didn't come to Kyoto Restaurant just to eat, humph." He turned and left, muttering softly, "What a cruel woman."
Qi Tao looked at Gu Qingyun who was gradually going away, then turned back to look at An Qiao, and always felt something was strange.
