It has been four days since I saw Cheng Jian, and Gu Xiangyu always thinks about him, and occasionally goes to the city to sell paintings, always looking forward to meeting him, maybe because he wants to see his smiling face again, or maybe it's just Simply want to meet him.

But the sky did not come true, and the expectations for a few days were all in vain, so he rolled his eyes, and in his spare time, he simply followed Aunt Li and the others to eat melon seeds under the tree, and listened to them talking about the trivial things in and out of the village. He is not a good person, but he knows that Aunt Li and the others will definitely talk about Cheng Jian again, because Cheng Jian is always the topic of conversation.

It's strange to say that there is always a feeling in my heart that I want to know Cheng Jian urgently, why is it like this?Gu Xiangyu couldn't tell by herself.After chatting for a while, Aunt Zhang really changed the topic to Cheng Jian.

"Hey, I heard that Cheng Jian brought a rare treasure to Manchun Tower last night."

Aunt Liu ate some melon seeds and said, "Isn't that right, that Lan Jue'er is really fascinated by Cheng Jian, maybe she will be married in two years."

"That Mr. Cheng is both civil and military, but he has a lot of flirtatious things, what a pity."

Aunt Zhou agreed.Gu Xiangyu's breath stopped, and she couldn't help asking: "Who is Lan Jue'er?"

Aunt Li laughed and said, "We Xiang Yu is simple, we never step into that kind of fireworks, so we don't know."

Aunt Li took a sip of tea before explaining: "That Lan Jue'er was sold from Manchunyuan four months ago. It is said that she is so beautiful. Now Manchunyuan's business can rely on her to increase."

Gu Xiangyu nodded, felt a little lost and couldn't listen anymore, so she got up and bid farewell to Aunt Wang and the others and went home.

Gu Xiangyu sighed slightly, presumably that Lan Jue'er must be very beautiful, and must be a good match for Mr. Cheng.

Gu Xiangyu rubbed her face, when she just arrived at the door of the house, she saw a tall and straight figure standing at the door, a little familiar but not familiar, so she couldn't help but quicken her pace and walked up, and when she took a closer look, that person was actually the person she was thinking about just now.

Gu Xiangyu was suddenly surprised and happy, but at a loss, why was he at the door of his house?Just when Cheng Jian looked over, he spotted him and walked towards him slowly.

": Mr. Gu, long time no see"

Still that smile, still such a gentle voice, still making my heart beat faster and my blood flow back.Gu Xiangyu blinked, and said nervously, "Okay, long time no see, Mr. Cheng came to look for me in my humble house, yes, what's the matter?"

Cheng Jian smiled unabated, "My lord, you don't have to be so polite, just call me Cheng Jian."

Gu Xiangyu's face turned red, and it took him a long time to hold back his words: "Well, then, Mr. Cheng, that's not right. Cheng Jian, Cheng Jian, just call me Xiangyu."

Cheng Jian was impatient with these etiquettes, and immediately seeing that Gu Xiangyu didn't care, he said relaxedly, "That's great, this will save a lot of etiquette, and it will be more convenient to talk with."

After a pause, he continued, "I really have something to trouble you when I came to bother you this time." Cheng Jian's face was still gentle.

Gu Xiangyu led Cheng Jian into the room, "Sit down and talk first, I'll pour you tea."

Gu Xiangyu was a little flustered, Cheng Jian nodded with a smile and then looked at the clean and tidy room carefully before saying: "The painting you gave to my brother last time is not gorgeous or vulgar, I like it very much, and Cheng Jian The mansion will entertain some important guests in a few days, so I want to ask someone to paint some paintings for decoration, so I thought of you, I wonder if you would like to help."

": Yes! It's a great honor"

Gu Xiangyu readily agreed without even thinking about it.

"That's it, six paintings of ink and wash, ten taels per painting is feasible?"

"Twelve?"

Gu Xiangyu raised his head suddenly, he never sold more than five taels of paintings, because he thought it shouldn't be too expensive, but Cheng Jian actually offered ten taels for each painting, which made him startled.

"Too, there are too many. You don't need so many. Each picture is enough." Gu Xiangyu looked at him with wide eyes, with sincerity revealed between his brows.

"Pfft..." Cheng Jian couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Gu Xiangyu was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Cheng Jian with wide open eyes, not knowing why, and asked, "Why, what's the matter?"

Cheng Jian held back his laughter and said, "Isn't it good to have too much money? I haven't seen anyone who thinks too much money is given."

Gu Xiangyu scratched his head innocently and said, "But I always sell like this."

"You are so innocent and cute. Twelve taels is not much, but you still think it's too much." Cheng Jian laughed heartily after saying that.

Gu Xiangyu's head was stuck again, and after a while, a blush appeared on his face

"How can I be described as cute as a man"

Gu Xiangyu looked down at her toes, but felt something was wrong after she finished speaking, so she quickly pushed Cha Cha and added

"Drink tea, please. There is no good tea at home, only the jasmine flowers that I have dried myself, and rough tea. It is still good to quench my thirst."

Cheng Jianyu found him cute, and wanted to tease him again, but when he saw that he was embarrassed, he stopped talking, took a sip of tea from the bowl, it was fragrant and sweet, with endless aftertaste, unexpectedly delicious

"tastes good"

"Ok?"

Gu Xiangyu was a little surprised. There were many people who had drunk it, but no one had ever praised his dried tea for its deliciousness.Cheng Jian took another sip and repeated, "The tea is delicious."

"Really?"

Gu Xiangyu was overjoyed, and he didn't know whether he was happy because the tea was praised for its delicious taste, or because Cheng Jian praised his ability to make tea.

So he looked at Cheng Jian cautiously and said, "For example, if you don't dislike it, you can take some back."

"Then I won't be polite, thank you."

Talking to him is very easy, and people will always unconsciously lower their tone, just like coaxing a child, maybe it's because Gu Xiangyu is too innocent, making people hard to hold their breath.

After the two chatted like this, half a stick of incense passed away. Cheng Jian looked at the sky and smiled and said, "It's getting late, it seems I should go back."

"Are you leaving already?"

Gu Xiangyu quickly took out a clay pot from the cabinet and handed it to Cheng Jian, and said with a smirk, "This is Jasmine, for you."

Cheng Jian couldn't help reaching out and rubbing his head, "Thank you, it was a pleasure chatting with you today"

It's really enjoyable.Gu Xiangyu blushed and nodded, "Me too"

"Then can I still come in the future?"

Gu Xiangyu nodded even more, ": Yes, of course, I can't wait."

After thinking about it again, Gu Xiangyu couldn't help asking, "Cheng Jian, Man, what kind of place is Manchun Garden?"

Seemingly unexpected that he would ask this question, Cheng Jian was a little hard to speak, and after thinking about it, he said, "It's not a good place, what's wrong?"

Gu Xiangyu wrinkled his face into a bun and stammered, "You, can you take me to see it later?"

Cheng Jian frowned slightly. Gu Xiangyu was too innocent to get out of the silt without being stained. He shouldn't be stained with that kind of place, but since he said so, it was hard to refuse, so he nodded and said yes after a while

Gu Xiangyu was naturally overjoyed, and Cheng Jian smiled helplessly, "Then the day you bring the painting to Cheng's residence, I will take you there again."

Gu Xiangyu nodded, and after a while thought of the most important question, he wrinkled his face into a bun again, "But, Cheng Jian, you need to bring a lot of money to Manchun Garden, right?"

Cheng Jian couldn't help laughing and rubbed his hair again, "Just follow me when the time comes, don't worry about other things."

"Then, how can I do that, otherwise, I don't want the money for the painting scroll."

Gu Xiangyu narrowed his eyes, he must have a lot of money to enter that kind of place, Cheng Jian saw his embarrassment and said softly, "So, would you like to make friends with me?"

Gu Xiangyu nodded without hesitation, "Of course I do."

"Then don't be polite to me, just listen to me, huh?"

Only then did Gu Xiangyu hesitate to agree.

"I'll see you then, I'll say goodbye today"

"Okay, see you then"

Cheng Jian didn't stay any longer and left alone.Gu Xiangyu was at the door, watching Cheng Jian's figure slowly disappearing, filled with joy in his heart.

This time, he finally understood what the inexplicable feeling in his heart was. He had read such a sentence in the book - the heart is like a double silk net, and there are thousands of knots in it. He probably likes Cheng Jian. , that is a love that is not blessed by the world and will not bear fruit.

But as long as you keep this secret, even if unrequited love, even if there is no result,

That's enough.
