Rebirth: Mr. Fu will not cancel the engagement this time

Xie Hengzhi never got the answer out of Gu Jinhe before he was coaxed to sleep.

The next morning, after breakfast, Xie Hengzhi was picked up by the driver and taken to school. Before leaving, he kept saying, "Aunt, wait for me to come back in the evening. You must tell me."

Gu Jinhe smiled as he watched him get into the car and waved at him: "Be good, your aunt will be waiting for you at home after school."

After seeing Xie Heng off, Gu Jinhe walked slowly in the Xie family's garden with Xu Cheng and Shuhua Shumo.

Finally, Gu Jinhe stopped beside a lotus pond, which was half the size of the lotus pond in the Gu family yard.

When Gu Jinhe just returned to the Gu family, the lotus flowers in the rose courtyard had not yet withered. A month later, the lotus flowers had completely withered and the lotus leaves began to turn yellow and wither.

The lotus pond in the Xie family seemed to have withered earlier than the one in her yard. Apart from the occasional fish jumping out of the water, there was nothing here.

So what is Xie Hengzhi doing here?

Xu Cheng saw Gu Jinhe staring at the lotus pond and thought she wanted to eat lotus pods, but there were no fresh lotus pods in this season, so he made a note of it.

After watching for a long time, I still couldn't figure it out. Gu Jinhe and Xie Hengzhi were in my uncle's yard in the morning. The rules here are much stricter than those in the Gu family.

You need to reflect on yourself every morning and evening.

Probably because she saw that she had nothing to do and was wandering around, her aunt took her to the study to write.

"This calligraphy must be practiced every day. If you slack off for one day, you will regress. If you don't practice for a few days, you will become rusty."

Gu Jinhe was practicing calligraphy silently. Her aunt watched her handwriting and praised her, and her eyes looked even more loving when she looked at her.

Gu Feiwan suddenly appeared again during lunch. This time, the Gu family did not call to inform them, and the Xie family did not even prepare lunch for her.

He came without saying hello this time, which made everyone in the Xie family look a little cold, but Gu Feiwan acted as if he didn't see it. He still sat in the same seat as last night and ate whatever was available without being picky.

After finishing the meal, without waiting for anyone to speak, Gu Feiwan said, "I just like the food here more. I won't stay here overnight. I'll leave after dinner, just like yesterday. I won't disturb you."

After that, the Xie family really treated her as if she didn't exist. After lunch, her cousin's wife took Gu Jinhe to the orchard to pick oranges. Gu Feiwan just stood aside and watched without saying a word. Her cousin's wife was also very capable. She really ignored her and treated her as if she didn't exist. She only talked to Gu Jinhe.

"Oranges are the best in this season and not so sour. Our oranges are sweeter than those sold on the market. Try them and see if they suit your taste. If you like them, I'll give you a few baskets to take back when you return, and let the old lady have some too."

Gu Jinhe ate a slice of orange and nodded: "Yeah, it's very sweet, I like this taste."

"Eat less even if you like it. Be careful not to get angry."

"it is good"

They were chatting happily here. Gu Feiwan looked at the close attitude of the two people and lowered her eyes slightly. No one saw the coldness in her eyes.

After picking the oranges, the cousin's wife took Gu Jinhe to the pavilion in the garden to make tea and rest.

This time, Gu Feiwan sat next to the two of them. Seeing that she was quiet, her cousin's wife poured her a cup of tea, then took out a few books and said, "I like reading these books recently. You might as well take a look."

Gu Jinhe did not refuse. He picked up a book and started flipping through it silently. Seeing that both of them were reading with their heads down, Gu Feiwan also picked up a book and started flipping through it.

The afternoon sun shone on several people, and their reflections on the ground looked comfortable and relaxed.

The quiet afternoon passed quickly, the sun gradually set in the west, and the air began to feel a little chilly. My cousin's wife shook her shoulders slightly and said, "It's getting colder and colder. I didn't feel it in the afternoon when the sun was out, but now I still feel a little cold sitting in this garden."

The cousin's wife, who was afraid of the cold, put away the book and took the two of them out of the garden. After returning to the main hall, she sat down on the sofa. It was not yet dinner time, and Xu Cheng came over with a small plate of snacks.

Gu Jinhe looked down and found that it was lotus seed cake. His cousin's wife smiled and said, "You came to me after lunch to ask if I had lotus seeds. I was wondering what you wanted to do with the lotus seeds. It turned out that you asked the pastry chef in the kitchen to make lotus seed cake."

Xu Cheng nodded slightly, then stepped back and stood at the door with his back to the inside. If he didn't speak loudly, it would be difficult for outsiders to hear clearly.

The cousin's wife said to Gu Jinhe: "Your little housekeeper is quite capable."

Gu Jinhe raised his eyes and looked at Xu Cheng's back standing at the door, and said, "He is very good. Having him around really saves me a lot of worries."

Biaosou said, "I heard that this housekeeper Xu was arranged for you by the old lady. Given the old lady's personality, if he wasn't a calm and reliable person, she wouldn't have arranged him to be by your side to take care of you."

Gu Feiwan glanced at the snacks on the table and had no appetite at all. She hated lotus seeds the most!

When she was a child, she wanted to eat lotus pods, but the old lady closed the Rose Courtyard and didn't allow anyone to approach, so she couldn't even eat lotus pods.

Then Gu Feiwan started making a fuss and wanted to plant a lotus pond in his own yard, but was rejected by the old lady.

The old lady said that it was not suitable to start construction in the house in recent years.

In fact, Gu Feiwan knew that the old lady just didn’t want to plant lotus ponds in other courtyards.

And the roses along the wall are not allowed to be planted in other courtyards.

The old lady always has an almost perverted obsession with this kind of thing, and always wants Gu Jinhe to have something unique.

Because of this incident, she has disliked lotus and roses since she was a child. She dislikes everything related to lotus.

Before dinner, Xie Hengzhi came back from school. Seeing that there was suddenly one more person at home, he was not surprised, but went forward and called the person in a polite manner.

"mother"

"Cousin"

"Second Cousin"

Gu Jinhe waved him over and asked, "How was your day at school? Did anything special happen?"

Xie Hengzhi thought for a moment and said, "A boy in our class liked a girl and wrote her a letter. He read it aloud to her in the classroom and many other students heard it. The girl felt embarrassed and tore up the letter and broke off her friendship with him."

Gu Jinhe asked: "Who do you think was wrong in this matter?"

Xie Hengzhi pondered for a moment and said, "The male student shouldn't have read the letter in the classroom, which embarrassed the female student. The female student tore up the letter in public, which also embarrassed the male student."

"But I think this thing was wrong from the beginning. We are still so young and don't understand these things that adults should understand. Our main responsibility is to learn the books well."

"I like you, you like me, but there is still some distance between us. It is not something we can reach now, nor is it something we can handle at our age now."

Gu Jinhe and his cousin's wife looked at each other and smiled.
