Golden Pink Building

Qingqiu had eaten in a small restaurant outside, and there was no reason for Miss Qianjin to go out and show her face.In her previous life, no matter whether she was in Gusu or the Jia family in the capital, she was a pampered boudoir.I have seen the city life outside there, not only Daiyu, but also the girls and grandmas in Daguanyuan who can go out casually, and even the second door has never stepped out year after year.In this life, Leng Qingqiu is a girl from a small family, but Mrs. Leng will not easily ask her daughter to go out casually. Although the family is not rich, there is a Han mother who does some rough work.Their family will neither go out to eat good food in big restaurants, nor go to food stalls on the street to eat food mixed with dust.Qingqiu goes to and from school every day, and brings lunch with him at noon. Generally, the students invite them out to eat, but it's just a little snack and dried fruit and peanuts.The weird feeling of meeting Bai Shaoyi just now has been replaced by the freshness and nervousness of going out for dinner for the first time.

The publishing house was next to the wall of the school, and Xiao Sun dragged her along the way, chirping and chatting. Soon, except for the back door, there were small restaurants and photo studios in front of them. "These small shops are all relying on the school to do business. You must be the kind of lady who doesn't go out all day and only reads. You haven't eaten at such a place before." Xiaosun felt Qingqiu's Nervous, he tilted his head and looked at Qingqiu.

"The first time I saw you, I felt that you were like a fairy in the sky. You are not in the world. You must be very strict with your parents at home. We are all adults. I also graduated from middle school, but unfortunately I didn't take the exam. Going to university, even if I pass the exam, my family’s situation is very difficult. The current job is very good, the master is good, and the colleagues are also good. My family can relax with this salary. You will be a college student when you start school. There is still a brighter future. In the era when there are no bound feet anymore, it is normal for women to come out to work and socialize. That store is actually not bad, you can try it first, and if you don’t like it, we will find another one.” Don’t look at it The shops here are not very famous, but their business is very good.Xiao Sun took Qingqiu by the hand and led her into a small shop.

"How can I be so delicate, I am just unfamiliar with it for the first time. But it is true that I seldom eat out. In fact, my family situation is very ordinary. My father is gone, and I only live with my mother and uncle. Every family has difficulties. Why do you have to feel so emotional after reading the scriptures. But you are right, I should come out to see the world, so as not to shrink back and make people laugh at me." Qingqiu decided to overcome his shyness and try hard to adapt The rhythms and customs of this society.

After entering the small shop, Qingqiu was a little surprised. Although the restaurant was very simple, it was still very clean inside. Because it was a holiday, there were very few students who came to eat.When it was delivered to lunch time, there were only one or two students who looked like students eating.Seeing Xiao Sun bring a girl in, the shopkeeper greeted him attentively: "Miss Sun, what would you like to have for lunch? Hello lady, welcome to this small shop. Although the food here is not delicacies, it is guaranteed to be clean and fresh. The store has ready-made scallion and meat pancakes mixed with cucumber and mung bean porridge for lunch today, what do you think?"

The shopkeeper sat down to welcome the two of them, wiped the table with a handkerchief draped over his shoulders, and said it out for lunch.Xiaosun looked at Qingqiu: "Can you eat this?" Qingqiu's family doesn't have good food, so she can accept ordinary food. "Look at what you said, don't pick and choose what to eat, just clean and fresh." When he came to this world, Qingqiu realized that the lunch of ordinary people is definitely not as good as the regular dishes of a big girl next to a girl in Jia's Grand View Garden.

But Qingqiu would rather eat home-cooked meals made by Mrs. Leng and Han Ma every day, sit on a clumsy bench, and eat pancakes than eat bird's nests in the Grand View Garden all day long, but moan and cry all day long.Xiao Sun patted Qingqiu's arm with a smile: "I knew it, you are not the kind of person who is sour. The shopkeeper, hurry up and serve the food."

Qingqiu had never been in such a small restaurant before, she looked around curiously, there were a few wine cans on the shelf behind a curved ruler-shaped counter, but there was no name plate on the counter, the whole restaurant was clean and tidy, and the The blue brick floor was cleaned and sprinkled with water.The tables, chairs and benches are all bulky and old, but they are spotlessly cleaned. There is a half cloth curtain hanging on the counter, and the aroma of food wafts out from it.There are only three tables in the entire restaurant, their one is facing the window facing the street, and there are several male students on the remaining two tables, they have become silent since Xiaosun and Qingqiu came in.They didn't see the grandiose talking and waving just now, instead they lowered their heads to eat, one by one peeking at Qingqiu's side with the corners of their eyes.

Qingqiu gradually got used to the scrutiny of others, she pretended not to see it, just talking to Xiaosun. "You ordered lunch here. Although this place looks small, it is still clean and tidy. I don't know how much it costs a month." Xiao Sun took a sip from the teacup: "It's a good deal, I used to bring my own meals , but the weather is hot, so it breaks at noon. The food here is clean and cheap, and it costs two yuan a month. You can still eat meat every day!" Speaking of eating meat, Xiao Sun's eyes sparkled, showing a very fascinated expression, two Small dimples, very cute.

"You gluttonous girl, you still want to eat meat!" Qingqiu wrinkled her nose at Xiao Sun, covered her mouth and smiled. "You guys are here. I'm late. The editor-in-chief has already left. If you don't mind, you can share a table." Bai Shaoyi came in from the door. There were only three tables in the restaurant, and those two tables were already occupied.Qingqiu frowned slightly, just about to refuse but Xiaosun's words suddenly appeared in his mind.She seemed a little too out of place, and she might not really want to do anything.Besides, isn't it about freedom and equality? Why should she be evasive and afraid of seeing people?In the future, when she goes to university and looks for a job, she will meet more people. Is it possible that she still has to abide by the dogma of not being close to others?

Thinking of this, Qingqiu relaxed instead. She glanced at Xiaosun and saw that she had no objection, and said openly: "Okay, I'm afraid Mr. Bai will dislike us for making noise." Bai Shaoyi suddenly felt cold under the armpit, facing the sun The hard work of running around suddenly disappeared.He gave Qingqiu eye drops but was rejected by others, and even made Bai Shaoyi secretly sad for a while.Meng Lang thought it was a beautiful woman who didn't like his behavior, so he thought he was unwilling to try again, but who knows that the will will be bright, and he can only describe it as ecstatic.

Some people were ecstatic, while others were heartbroken. Xiuzhu was sitting in her dining room, shedding tears as she looked at the lunch in front of her.Mrs. Bai watched her sister-in-law wipe her tears sadly, and sighed silently: "Don't listen to the fact that the wind is the rain, Yufen just said it casually. Maybe it's Lao Qi's own fun, and someone with a heart fabricated that he likes that lady. But this Girl Leng, why don't I have any impression?"

"It's Lao Qi's own admission, so there's nothing wrong! I said why he has been avoiding me these days. It turned out that he changed his mind. How would I know that Leng girl, she must be someone who came out there and wanted to cling to her. Maybe not as good as that movie star Qiu Xizhen. Jin Yanxi, how could he treat me like this!" The more Xiuzhu thought about it, the more angry she became, and she stood up abruptly: "I'm going to ask him for clarification!"

Mrs. Bai hurriedly greeted the servants: "Stop Xiuzhu, don't you pretend to be your cousin when you go to Xingshi to inquire about the crime like this? Besides, you didn't make it clear after talking about the matter, but you proved that Jin Yanxi had ulterior motives. It will be difficult for the two of you to reconcile in the future. Listening to my sister-in-law has to be discussed in the long term, eat first, and I will call Yufen to our house later."

"What did my cousin call me? Why haven't you had lunch yet? It's almost three o'clock. I wanted to invite you to the Temple of Heaven Park for afternoon tea. Why didn't you even have lunch?" Young Mistress Yufen came in carrying her purse and stepping on her newly bought Italian high heels.

"Cousin, is what you said on the phone true? Does Yanxi have someone she likes?" Xiuzhu wanted to cry and grabbed Yufen's hand.

The three of them sat down on the sofa in the living room, and the servants of the Bai family brought three glasses of iced Coke, and Mrs. Bai told the servants to go out.The whole living room became very quiet, only the whirring of the electric fan and the cheerful popping of the bubbles in the cup remained. "I didn't hear it with my own ears. People around our Aunt Cui heard it. She told me. But these days, Lao Qi is not at home. It is said that he runs some kind of poetry club. I think it is probably someone I met in the poetry club. Sister Xiuzhu, don’t be sad, I’ll go and find out what’s going on with Lao Qi first. Today I specially asked Lao Qi out for tea, so that I can get something out of him.” Because Yufen has the closest relationship with the Bai family, In addition, Bai Xiongqi is very proud of his official career, both public and private, Yufen really wants Xiuzhu to be her sister-in-law, and strongly agrees with Xiuzhu and Jin Yanxi.

"I want to ask Yanxi, how could he do this!" Xiuzhu became anxious. She wanted to follow Yufen to question Jin Yanxi. , Husband and wife are almost like husband and wife.Suddenly hearing that Jin Yanxi was about to pursue another woman, it was like a bolt from the blue to Xiuzhu.Seeing Xiuzhu lose control of her emotions, Mrs. Bai hurriedly pressed Xiuzhu, and comforted Yufen together: "You look so reassuring. It's better for Yufen to ask Lao Qi first. You also know that he always thinks of a It just came out, maybe one day it will be nonsense." Mrs. Bai winked at Yufen, telling her to follow her words to calm Xiuzhu's emotions.

"Yes, my cousin's words are reasonable. You also know that Lao Qi's mouth is not serious. By the way, Brother Shaoyi has moved out, does sister-in-law know?" Yufen quickly changed the subject, and asked Mrs. Bai to make homework. "Yes, I heard that the school allocated a dormitory. Boyan and I wanted to invite him to live in our house, but he refused! Where is the dormitory in the school comfortable? I asked someone to serve him, but he didn't want it. Boyan repeated Persistence is the only way to agree to go to clean the room every day, and don’t do the rest. You don’t even need to cook, do you think he can cook by himself? I really don’t know what my cousin thinks.” Mrs. Bai was a little puzzled Frowning, are you uncomfortable at home? There are three rooms in the school dormitory, and there is no one to take care of them. In winter, you have to light your own stove, and in summer, you only have a fan. It doesn’t look like the official residence of the deputy prime minister. It has its own boiler room and an electric fan in summer. , There is heating in winter.

Yufen smiled: "My sister-in-law still loves my younger brothers and sisters. In our house, my cousin is like this. He spends all day reading or going out to meet friends. His house is not easy for people to enter, and even his mother asked the girl to serve him, but he was also rejected. Go back. He also said that people should not be bought and sold, and slaves should be raised, and in the end, the old lady can't go to him to clean up and pass on messages."

"I heard that my cousin has already started cleaning up the house. Their house in Beijing has been unoccupied for some years, but it should be repaired properly. Shao Yi is not young, and he should pay close attention to his life-long affairs. "The favorite thing for married wives is to be a matchmaker.

Yufen regained her energy and took a sip of Coke: "Sister Xiuzhu, you went to play with brother Shaoyi in Chengde, and asked him what he meant on the way. I think my cousin has been abroad for many years, and he may have already found a sweetheart. You know a little bit?"

"I heard from my cousin's words that he didn't seem to have a fixed girlfriend, but when he talked about his foreign affairs on the way, it seemed that he had a girlfriend before, but they separated later. I don’t think my cousin would like foreigners. Whether it’s uncle or him, he wants to find friends in China when he comes back. Cousin, it’s getting late, you like soda, I’ll ask someone to send you a box Go!" Xiuzhu grabbed Yufen's arm and urged her to quickly find out what Jin Yanxi was thinking.

Qingqiu gets up early every day to go to work, and within a few days she likes the busy life, Mrs. Leng sees that her daughter is very hard to get up early and return home late every day, she simply gets up early in the morning to cook for Qingqiu herself and put it in a lunch box for her Bring it: "No matter how good the food outside is, it is not as good as the food at home. You have been tired and thin these days, and my mother feels distressed. Ask the cook of the restaurant to heat up the rice inside. If they have good dishes, you can order one. Don't treat yourself badly." Qingqiu stood in the center of the morning light and advised Mrs. Leng not to get up early to prepare lunch for her.

"Anyway, I'm getting old and I feel less. Even if I don't get up, I'm lying in vain. Hurry up and be careful if you're late!" The school is outside the city, and Qingqiu has to rush out as soon as the city gate opens. It's going to be late.Mrs. Leng was worried, so she simply asked Han Ma's husband to pull a cart to pick up her daughter every day. In fact, Qingqiu didn't have to leave so early, mainly because she was hiding from the overzealous neighbor Jin Yanxi.Fortunately, this seventh young master has never been able to get up early, every morning at ten o'clock is early, so Qingqiu can have a very clean morning.

Jin Yanxi was all about chasing Qingqiu. He asked Song Runqing why she didn't see Qingqiu at home during the summer vacation. Song Runqing was told by her sister that she knew that her niece was determined. Although it was a pity, she still felt sorry for her niece and sister. She said: "Qiu'er has always been cold-tempered. She went to copy scriptures with a calligraphy master. It was in a nunnery outside the city. That is a very pure aunt's temple that does not accept male pilgrims." Jin Yan These days, Xi knew that Qingqiu went out early and returned late every day, and he didn't suspect that Song Runqing was fooling him, so he believed it.

He proposed to use a car to take Qingqiu in and out, but was flatly rejected by Mrs. Leng: "Her children's family copied scriptures for the purpose of accumulating virtue and doing good deeds, and they dared to sit in a car there. The most important thing in transcribing scriptures is sincerity. How can we It’s a shame to move Qiye’s car. Qiye has a lot of entertainment, so don’t delay Qiye’s affairs.” Jin Yanxi could only give up after hearing Mrs. Leng’s words, and he gradually discovered that Leng’s family no longer accepts him to send Even if he got a movie ticket that Mrs. Leng liked a lot, that movie ticket was returned intact by Mama Han.

Jin Yanxi called Han Ma and asked, "Do you girls copy the scriptures every day?" Jin Rong gave Han Ma a few dollars, and Han Ma's monthly salary was three or four. The money that Shang Jinrong gave her was a full month's wages.Mother Han held it in her hand and rubbed it reluctantly, and put it on the table in front of Jin Yanxi. She wiped her hands with her apron: "No, our girl wakes up before dawn every day, and the wife can't persuade her."

With Mama Han's appearance, Jin Yanxi knew that Mrs. Leng must have severely ordered Mama Han not to say anything else. He glanced at the few dollars and said lightly, "Whoever rewards you will reward you. Take it." Jin Yanxi was full of frustration, he decided to figure out what Qingqiu was doing these days.

Some people were depressed while others were secretly happy. Bai Shaoyi was concentrating on reading a book in her dormitory when suddenly the alarm clock on the desk rang.Bai Shaoyi looked up from the book, and suddenly found that it was almost 11:30.He wanted to rush to the small restaurant to "eat lunch" in time for lunch. In order to have lunch with Qingqiu "by chance", Bai Shaoyi rejected the kindness of the Jin family and the Bai family, and ate simple food every day without complaint or regret .But facing Qingqiu, he can understand the meaning of beautiful food.

What makes Bai Shaoyi even more happy is that Qingqiu seems to have recognized him as a "fan friend" who appears every day, and with the lively little grandson gagging at the side, they can also talk to each other.Once Xiao Sun said that she wanted to apply for a household registration and needed a photo, Bai Shaoyi immediately said that she had a camera to help her take pictures.Taking advantage of the opportunity to take pictures of Xiaosun, Bai Shaoyi said to Qingqiu: "I forgot to remind you that freshmen are required to submit photos when they enroll. I think my skills are pretty good. Student Leng, don't you think my skills are rough? I will also help you take a few photos. Anyway, one is a photo paper, and you are both standard two-inch photos, which just fits a photo paper." Qingqiu wanted to decline, but was pulled by Xiao Sun: "Of course, A piece of photo paper also costs a lot of money. Mr. Bai, you are really a good person, approachable and easy to talk to."

Bai Shaoyi peeked at Qingqiu's expression, and laughed: "Everyone is equal, and I don't have a single eye as a professor. I'm tired of pretending. In fact, I brought these photo papers back from abroad, and they all have a shelf life. If you leave it in vain, it won’t work anymore. You don’t have to feel sorry, I can practice my photography skills, if you want to thank me, can you make me a glass silk teacup cover too?” Xiaosun and Qingqiu are both I like small handicrafts very much. Xiao Sun bought a lot of glass filaments and glazed beads to weave teacup covers.The result is always wrong, Qingqiu helped her make a very delicate one.Once at a meal, Xiao Sun showed off and was praised by Bai Shaoyi a lot.

Qingqiu didn't speak at that time, but seeing that she agreed, Bai Shaoyi thought to herself that she must not be in a hurry.Now she only regards herself as a person who is a little taller than her acquaintance, and she can't be pushed too hard.Now Bai Shaoyi hurriedly changed her clothes, picked up another bottle of perfume and put it down after hesitation. Remembering that the photos were ready, Bai Shaoyi put the photos of Qingqiu and Xiaosun in two envelopes, and wrote their names on them. I stuffed it into my pocket and prepared to give it to them when they ate.It's just that he was in a hurry to go out and accidentally knocked over the perfume bottle.Bai Shaoyi sounded annoyed, and changed his clothes again. Seeing that time was running out, he took the envelope out of the pocket of the changed clothes and stuffed it on his body without looking at it, and ran out quickly, grabbing the straw hat.Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived at the door, she saw a servant from the Bai family coming over. She was a trustworthy old lady of Mrs. Bai, around thirty, carrying a clean bag with clean clothes inside.

"Just take what I replaced and take it back. The house is not dirty and there is no need to clean it!" Said Bai Shaoyi and disappeared in a flash.
