Chapter 240 Aunt
Huanxi felt a little embarrassed. The scene she had acted out with Xu Qingzhao when she first went to sell flowers... If she had known she would meet some people in the future, she wouldn't have wanted to act out the scene again, even if Xu Qingzhao was beaten to death...
"Um...you are talking about her. She went out for something recently and is not at home...haha." After saying that, she laughed awkwardly, praying that this person would not ask any further questions.
He Yuanyuan and Hong Ying were both confused. What the hell was going on?
However, seeing that Huanxi had no intention of saying anything, they tactfully did not ask.
After eating and drinking, Huanxi went downstairs to pay for the meal, and when he went back upstairs, the three people had also come downstairs.
"Didn't I say it should be put on my account? You're so polite, Miss Zhao."
"Although this Treasure Pavilion is your family's property, as your friend I can't take advantage of you, right..."
"Alright, then don't do this again next time. I'm a rich man, how can I ask young girls to pay for my meals?"
After exchanging pleasantries, Huanxi agreed with him on the time of departure for tomorrow, then said goodbye to him and went to the place where the carriage was stored to meet Shufeng with his two sisters who were waiting bored.
"Sister, who is that person?" He Yuanyuan asked her after walking a long way.
Huanxi explained to her how she met Chen Yunrui, and also told her about selling flowers and acting.
"Hey, next time you have something like this, remember to call me. I used to be the leader of our school's drama troupe. Isn't this a piece of cake?"
Hongying, who was standing by, asked curiously, "What is a school? What is a drama troupe? What is a leader?"
Huanxi explained patiently, but Hongying was stunned.
"So that's how it is. Only powerful people can be called the boss. So, Sister Huanxi, are you the boss of your family?"
I choked with joy. It seemed like there was something slightly wrong with this statement, but I couldn't tell what the problem was...
After a while, they got the carriage. Huanxi planned to take He Yuanyuan to sleep in the inn today. When they met Hongying, it went without saying that they would go to her house.
Actually, Huanxi didn't want to go. Although she saved Pang Biaotou, only the father and daughter knew about it. Others didn't know about it and thought she was a poor relative who came to ask for money...
When we arrived at the escort agency, we saw Ke You squatting there in a horse stance within a few steps. It seemed that he had been squatting there for a long time, and a thin layer of sweat had appeared on his face.
Huanxi didn't call him, but silently observed Ke You's every move from a distance.
Besides him, there were several other children of similar age doing horse stance with him in the yard, but he seemed to be the most stable and solid.
Hongying's eldest brother was holding a teaching stick in the yard, looking at the boys with a cold expression.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Yunyi knocked the stick to signal them that they could rest.
"Ke You, your relatives are here to see you. They're over there. I'll give you a quarter of an hour. Go ahead." He pointed to Huanxi's location, and Huanxi noticed his movements and waved towards him.
"Happy Auntie!" Ke You shouted.
"Master, I'll be back soon." He bowed and said to Yunyi.
Yun nodded slightly, bowed to Huanxi, and sat down to flip through the book.
Ke You trotted over and saw Huanxi's face showing joy.
After his aunt left last time, when he returned to his room to rest after exercise, he saw an extra ten taels of silver in his pocket. He was so moved.
"Are you tired?" Huanxi took a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off his face. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't be able to see the redness on his dark face.
"Thank you for your concern, Auntie. I'm not tired."
Seeing that he looked like a little adult, Huanxi took out a big bag of snacks from the package she brought and handed it to him.
"I brought this for you. If you can't finish it, share it with your fellow apprentices. Build good relationships with them. They're all little girls at home, but it's better to have some boys to play with."
"Also, here's the letter your sister brought you, the amulet your other three sisters embroidered for you, and the clothes your aunts made for you. They thought you worked hard in your training, so they made the inner part of yours with soft cotton."
I happily took them out one by one. I had originally planned to take a look at them and give them to him when I left tomorrow, but I didn't expect that he would still have to stay overnight.
Huanxi looked up and saw that the boy was wiping his tears.
"You've grown up in two years, and you're still crying. Come on, stop crying. I'll come to see you every time I come to town, okay?"
Ke You wiped away his tears, looked at the woman in front of him and forced a smile, then he noticed a woman next to him whom he had never seen before.
"You must be Xiaoyou, right? I'm your aunt's cousin. Just call me Auntie. From now on, we're a family..."
"Hello, Auntie..."
"Hey, be good, be good." He Yuanyuan's face turned into a flower when she heard it.
He took out a tael of silver from his clothes and handed it to him.
"This is the first time I meet you, so don't reject me. Take this and buy some candy. When you finish your training, come back and teach me martial arts..."
Ke You looked at Huanxi, and after Huanxi nodded, he accepted it and gave it to He Yuanyuan as a token of respect. He said:
"Junior Ke You thanks Auntie for her kindness."
They didn't chat for long before they heard Yun Yi's voice calling them to go back to practice. After paying his respects, Ke You hurried back.
"Sister Huanxi, let's go. Zhilu will take these things to his room later. I'll ask Shaohong to prepare some tea. Let's go to my place. Sister Yuanyuan is here for the first time, so don't stand here."
"Okay, okay, I love looking into girls' boudoirs the most~" He Yuanyuan didn't know what she was so excited about.
After arriving at Hongying's yard, they washed up and chatted in the house at night. Huanxi was not feeling well yesterday, but after taking the medicine last night, she felt much better today.
But at that time, Ke You stood in the wind for a while, and then he started coughing non-stop after taking a shower.
The two girls were so frightened that they quickly called the court doctor to come and take her pulse.
"Doctor Shen, how is Sister Huanxi?" Hongying asked anxiously.
Doctor Shen stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Nothing serious, just a cold and a bit of a cough. I'll prescribe two doses of medicine and you'll be fine."
"Thank you." Huanxi said.
"It's okay, it's okay. I still want to ask you something. Miss Zhao, could you please move aside?"
Huanxi didn't guess what this old man Shen was going to do, but he still followed him to a side room. After looking around to see if there was anyone around, he said:
"Miss, I wonder if you still have any extra of the Ghost Abyss Soul-Devouring Fruit you sent me last time?"
"What happened?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I've researched a new recipe. If I could have that fruit, I might be able to make an antidote that's even more effective than the one I used last time."
"Isn't that a good thing? I still have some, even though I don't have much left. I'll bring it to you next time I come to town, but I have a small condition..."
