The first volume of pearl curtains rolls up the western mountain rain at dusk Chapter 22: Swearing
Gao Xining walked a few steps outside, thinking that no matter how stupid the boy was, he would catch up with him to apologize. But when he walked to the door and looked back, he found that the guy was still bending over and sweeping the floor with his butt sticking out, which was really annoying.
The little girl was so angry that she wanted to kick Li Diudiu on her raised butt.
She went back angrily, walked behind Li Diudiu and said loudly: "Apologize to me!"
Li Diudiu replied without even looking up: "Why?"
Gao Xining said: "No matter why, you have to apologize to me."
Li Diudiu sighed and said, "Does your grandfather often lose his temper with you?"
Gao Xining didn't expect Li Diudiu to ask such a question. She didn't react at first, but after a moment she realized that Li Diudiu was actually mocking her. This brat actually dared to mock her.
"Are you trying to say that I lose my temper with you because my grandfather often loses his temper with me?"
She asked.
Li Diudiu looked back at her and said, "Isn't it?"
"Call me grandpa."
Gao Xining said seriously: "According to your inference, I should be your grandfather."
Li Diudiu thought about it and it seemed to be true, so he felt that he had suffered a loss. He turned to look at Gao Xining and said seriously: "It's okay for me to call you, but you have to treat me like your grandfather treats you."
Gao Xining was stunned.
She asked, “Do you like this?”
After hearing this, Li Diudiu vaguely felt that he had suffered a loss again.
boom……
Gao Xining kicked Li Diudiu on the buttocks. The soft yet elastic touch made her feel a little refreshed. She stood there with her hands on her waist and said, "Look at you. What kind of floor are you sweeping? You're sweeping here and there. I can tell from the way you're sweeping that you're not calm."
"Look again, there's actually a little dust on the table. Are you cleaning it or are you fooling someone? If you don't take things seriously and do things perfunctorily, when you get married..."
Li Diudiu: “Hmm?”
Gao Xining blushed: "No, can I get married in the future?"
Li Diudiu looked at Gao Xining with sympathy: "You are in dire straits too."
Gao Xining asked curiously: "Why did you use the word 'also'?"
Li Diudiu said: "I have a master like your grandfather."
Gao Xining suddenly felt that she shared the same suffering. She had never concealed from Li Diudiu the fact that she was Gao Shaowei's granddaughter. She had told Li Diudiu about it last time.
She stopped bullying Li Diudiu and sat down on the table, swinging her long legs and saying, "Tell me how miserable you are."
With her personality and the way she sat, none of her features met the standards of a lady from a noble family in the State of Chu. She looked more like a little boy. If she wasn't so pretty, no one would be able to tell her apart if she changed into boy's clothes.
"Prefer not to say."
Li Diudiu asked as he swept the floor: "But I have something I want to ask you for advice."
Gao Xining was no longer angry, and sat there and asked, "What's the matter?"
Li Diu replied, "At my age, what can I do to make money?"
“You still want to buy a house.”
Gao Xining shook his head and said, "I know a little bit about everything, but I don't know how to make money. This is not something I should consider. Even if I ask my grandfather, he probably won't know, and he won't consider these things."
"A little bit of everything?"
Li Diudiu suddenly raised his head: "I also know a little bit of everything..."
He suddenly seemed to realize something and said happily, "Thank you."
Gao Xining thought to himself, I helped you expose Sun Rugong and you didn't even thank me, but now you say thank you. There must be something wrong with your brain. This poor guy will never be able to get married in the future.
It was at this moment that Gao Xining set a great goal in her heart. She decided to help Li Diudiu find a wife in the future and she must do it.
At this moment, she felt that the burden on her shoulders had become heavier, and she also felt that she was somewhat majestic.
So she said to Li Diudiu like a loving mother: "Look at you, why are you thinking about making money at such a young age? Study hard and think about those things when you are old enough to make money."
Li Diudiu shook his head and said, "No, I only have two months at most."
"Two months?"
Gao Xining looked at Li Diudiu like a monster. No, he looked at Li Diudiu like his own whimsical son and said, "You want to earn two hundred taels of silver in two months? Do you think silver is like fallen leaves in autumn, which you can grab in handfuls?"
Li Diudiu said: "We have to give it a try."
He gave his master five taels of silver. A month's stay in that mediocre inn cost two taels of silver. It was called an inn, but it would be more accurate to call it a homestay. Those decent inns with good conditions would cost several hundred coins a night, and the more luxurious ones would cost one tael of silver a night. They, the master and his disciple, could not afford it.
"I'll go and perform."
Li Diudiu said seriously: "For example...writing?"
In this era, not everyone could read, so writing could make money. Generally speaking, the easiest way to start was to write letters for others, but the price was very cheap, only about ten coins for a letter, and no one would take more than that.
Seeing that Gao Xining did not answer, he asked again: "Are you familiar with the laws of Da Chu?"
Gao Xining's face looked a little ugly. She asked Li Diudiu, "What on earth are you going to do?"
Li Diudiu said: "I just want to ask you, how many years will you be sentenced to for selling fake paintings..."
Just when Gao Xining was about to persuade him, the door of the classroom was kicked open. With a bang , the door hit the wall and almost fell apart. The swaying look on its face was heartbreaking.
Sun Biehe strode in with a few people: "Li Chi, you f---"
Then Sun Biehe saw Gao Xining glaring at him, his expression changed immediately, he held back the rest of his words, and his tone became gentle.
"You're so damn hardworking."
Gao Xining frowned slightly: "What do you want to do?"
Sun Biehe quickly smiled and said, "I didn't think about anything. I just passed by and saw Li Chi cleaning, so I couldn't help but come over and praise him."
Gao Xining asked: "Are you done praising me?"
Sun Biehe smiled and said, "I'm done with the praises. I'm leaving now."
Gao Xining pointed to the door: "Apologize to the door."
Sun Biehe: “Ah?”
Gao Xining said: "Do you want to say it again? Apologize to the door."
Sun Biehe suppressed his anger and thought to himself, if it wasn't for Gao Shaowei, would your grandfather pay any attention to you? I would pay attention to you in a different way, which is really giving you face.
But he didn't show any sign of being unconvinced. He nodded politely, clasped his fists towards the classroom door and said, "Brother Men, I accidentally bumped into you just now. I apologize here. I hope you don't mind."
Gao Xining got down from the table, walked to the door, looked at Sun Biehe and said, "Turn around."
Sun Biehe turned and headed for the door: "I'm leaving now...ah...leaving..."
Before he could finish his words, when he turned around, Gao Xining pulled the door and hit Sun Biehe hard on the butt. Sun Biehe was caught off guard and stumbled out.
"Now we're even."
Gao Xining clapped her hands and walked back, and saw Li Diudiu giving her a thumbs up.
"Admire me?"
Gao Xining smiled and said, "Come on, let me praise you for what you have said."
Li Diudiu gave a thumbs up and said, "You are such a man."
Gao Xining: “…”
After a moment, she sighed, still looking at Li Diudiu with eyes as if she were looking at her silly son, and said with some heartache: "How can a man like you find a wife in the future? I feel so sorry for you, it's too difficult..."
Li Diudiu asked, "Why do you always say that I won't be able to find a wife in the future? Is it necessary to rush to find a wife?"
Gao Xining leaned forward and said, "How about we make a deal?"
Li Diudiu said casually: "What deal? Do you want to be my wife?"
Gao Xining was startled, and immediately became angry: "You have no shame!"
Li Diudiu : “Ah?”
Gao Xining's face turned red instantly. Grandpa always said that men and women should not be intimate with each other. Li Diudiu's words were obviously teasing her. How could she face people if she told others about it? If grandpa knew about it, he would immediately kick Li Diudiu out of the academy.
Li Diudiu also came to his senses and quickly bowed: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just said that casually..."
Gao Xining blushed and said awkwardly, "Well, don't say that again."
"Yes, yes, I won't say it again."
She took a breath and said, "What I mean is that from now on, I will take care of your marriage. I will definitely find you a gentle and considerate woman to accompany you. But in exchange, you have to teach me martial arts in the future."
Li Diudiu said: "I will find a place to practice every day from now on, you can just come and watch."
Gao Xining was immediately delighted: "Okay!"
Li Diudiu let out a long sigh and began to doubt himself. How could he say such shameless words to a girl? Am I a shameless person?
That shouldn't be the case. My master never taught me this kind of thing...
I go!
Li Diudiu then thought that his master would certainly not teach him such words to tease girls, but he said it so naturally just now, which clearly showed that he was born shameless.
He felt a little sad.
Gao Xining saw that his face looked a little strange, and tried to comfort him, saying, "I know you didn't mean it, don't take it too seriously. I have already forgotten what you said just now. Just don't say it again in the future."
Li Diudiu said seriously: "Or I'll swear an oath."
After all, they are just children, one is eleven and the other is thirteen, so naturally their thoughts are different from those of adults.
Li Diudiu said: "I apologize for what I said just now, and I swear that I will never marry you no matter who I marry in the future."
Gao Xining said seriously, "No, no, no, people always have conditions when they swear. For example, if I break this oath, then this and that will happen. You didn't say that."
Li Diudiu hummed: "That's right, it should be so... Then, if I marry you in the future, I will be a puppy."
Gao Xining nodded in satisfaction: "That's right... Then it's a deal, you have to find a place to practice for me every day."
Li Diudiu said: "Then I'll leave the matter of my future wife to you."
Gao Xining waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, you won't suffer any loss."
After saying that, she turned around and walked away, as if she had gotten a huge bargain. She walked with a very happy face. Her ponytail swung left and right as she walked, which looked really beautiful.
Li Diudiu watched Gao Xining's back as he walked away. He heaved a long sigh of relief and thought to himself that he was indeed an upright man.
There is also some beauty.
