Chapter 193 Gu Datian is also playing tricks (3)
She thought that if the matchmaker failed this time, not only would she not be able to get the remaining half of the gift money, but Bai Qingli and the others would take back the deposit.Unexpectedly, not only did Bai Qingli not take back the deposit, but he even gave her the rest of the gift money. The gift money came so easily, how could she be unhappy?

"Don't be too happy, this money is not for free." Bai Qingli said flatly.

Matchmaker Zhang was taken aback. Although Bai Qingli's tone was very light, she still felt some invisible majesty sensitively, so she didn't dare to laugh so presumptuously anymore.Restraining the expression on her face, Matchmaker Zhang said cautiously: "Young master, if you have anything to do, just tell me, as long as I can do it for you, old lady, I will definitely do it for you!"

"Don't worry, I won't ask you to do anything like murder and arson." Bai Qingli said with a slight smile, and without waiting for Zhang Matchmaker's reaction, she turned and went back to Gu's courtyard.

Matchmaker Zhang looked at Bai Qingli's back, her eyes were full of admiration, this young master Bai really had good determination, if someone else went to propose a marriage and was rejected, she might leave angrily or become angry from embarrassment. Back to the door.However, this Mr. Bai returned to the Gu family's courtyard calmly as if nothing had happened. He really had a good manner!

"Go back to the city." Matchmaker Zhang happily got into the carriage and ordered the driver to rush back to the city, but at this time she never imagined that she would come here again in such a short time.

Gu Changjue and Gu Datian were talking in the main room, when they suddenly saw Bai Qingli returning to the yard from the main room, they couldn't help but looked at each other, not understanding what was going on.

"Master Bai, why are you back?" Gu Datian walked into the yard and asked Bai Qingli with a smile.

"I promised Xiaobei to visit her again, I can't break my promise." Bai Qingli smiled slightly.

It turned out to be like this, Gu Datian was stunned for a moment, and then a warm feeling flashed in his heart, he did not misunderstand the person, not only did Bai Qingli not get angry because of his refusal, but he kept his promise with his younger sister so well.Although it is a trivial matter, a person's character can be seen more from the subtleties. Bai Qingli still remembers such a small matter, and Gu Datian feels that this is really rare.

"I'll take you there, but she might be asleep." Gu Datian said with a smile.

"No, I'll just go there by myself. If she really fell asleep, I won't wake her up. I'll come out after I check." Bai Qingli said firmly.Gu Datian thought about the friendship between Gu Xiaobei and Bai Qingli, and thought of the little trick he played just now. He felt a little guilty for a while, so he didn't insist anymore, and said with a smile: "Okay then."

Bai Qingli nodded, turned around and walked towards Gu Xiaobei's room, and gently opened the door with a "squeak".He walked over to Gu Xiaobei's bed with hands and feet, and looked at the beautiful face sleeping peacefully on the bed. The corner of Bai Qingli's mouth curled up into a slight wry smile. He thought that Gu Xiaobei rejected him, so he must be a little uneasy, right?Unexpectedly, she fell asleep so soundly.

Bai Qingli stretched out her slender fingers to gently touch Gu Xiaobei's forehead, and felt relieved when she found that her forehead wasn't so hot.He really wanted to shake her awake and ask why she refused to agree to marry him, but seeing her pale sleepy eyes, he couldn't bear it anymore.

After scrutinizing Gu Xiaobei's sleeping face for a long time, Bai Qingli looked away, his gaze suddenly froze, Gu Xiaobei's hand was clearly holding the blood jade pendant tightly, the jade pendant was so pretty with delicate and slender fingers.

"So you still like it." Bai Qingli murmured, turned and left Gu Xiaobei's room, and went straight out of the courtyard to go home.

Seeing Bai Qingli come out, Gu Datian, who had been peeking from the wall at the corner, was relieved, suddenly felt that he was going too far, but he immediately threw away the thought, for the sake of his little sister, he would do anything Do it, don't care about anything, even if he never told a lie.

Gu Xiaobei slept for a long time, and it was almost evening when she woke up.After eating some porridge brought by Gu Datian, she helped Xiaobao walk slowly in the yard and taught him how to walk.

"Little Treasure, take one leg first, don't do it at the same time." Gu Xiaobei held Xiao Treasure's armpit with both hands, and taught him patiently.

"Oh, the child is still so young, how can he walk? Don't teach him, he will naturally know when he grows up." At this time, a woman's voice suddenly came from the gate of the courtyard, very loud.

Gu Xiaobei stopped holding Xiaobao in his arms, looked up and down the woman in front of him, always felt a little familiar, but couldn't remember who came, so he smiled and said: "Who are you?"

"Oh, I'm your aunt, why don't you recognize me? I just had a banquet at your house yesterday." The woman immediately yelled.

"Aunt?" Gu Xiaobei raised her eyebrows. If she remembered correctly, she didn't have any aunt. To be honest, she couldn't tell if this person came to their house for a banquet yesterday.Because Gu Xiaobei didn’t recognize a few relatives at home, and she couldn’t even recognize all the people in the village. The treats were arranged by Gu Datian. She only told him to invite some close relatives and villagers, and ignored him. .

"Others say that the nobleman forgets things too much, I still don't believe it, but I really believe it today." The woman said with a half-smile.

Why does that sound so sarcastic!A trace of coldness flashed in Gu Xiaobei's eyes, and his smile was a bit cold as he said: "Auntie, you are wrong. First, I am not a 'noble man'. If I am really the 'noble man' you said, then today you will It’s impossible to just enter my house casually; secondly, it’s not that I forget too much, how could I remember that there were so many guests yesterday? If not, would you tell me who came to my house for a banquet yesterday? Anyway You are also having a banquet at my house, and you will see whoever comes."

"Xiaobei, you misunderstood me, I didn't mean that." Seeing that Gu Xiaobei was a little angry, the woman immediately smiled and said.

"Isn't it? What does that mean?" Gu Xiaobei smiled lightly.

"I don't mean anything, it doesn't matter if you don't recognize me, your eldest brother and third uncle should be there, right?" The woman immediately changed the subject, and after speaking, she yelled loudly: "Datian! Are you at home? "

"Hey! Here!" Gu Datian, who was busy in the kitchen, heard someone calling him from the yard, and immediately put down his work and ran out.

"Cousin, why are you here?" Gu Datian was obviously taken aback when he saw the woman standing in the yard. The woman in the yard was their husband's cousin, that is, their brother and sister's cousin Tian, ​​but yesterday Didn't she just come to the banquet?Why are you here again today?
"Datian, you finally have a conscience and can recognize your elders!" Natian said to Gu Datian with a smile.

Hearing this, Gu Xiaobei said with a half-smile, "You mean I don't recognize you because I have no conscience?"
