Chapter 269 Rejection
The next day, Gu Qingyun really came with another basket of fruits. In addition to the pears that An Qiao had eaten yesterday, there were also many other red and green fruits.
When he handed the fruit to Qitao, he said a lot of things awkwardly, just like he did yesterday.
Qi Tao took it with a smile and passed it to An Qiao. An Qiao also smelled something and thought about these days in her heart.
But An Qiao is not really just an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl after all. She has lived two lives and knows very well that in this era, if you want to have such thoughts, it is best not to have them.
After all, there is a long river between the two of them.
"Take it back and give it to Mr. Gu. Tell him that I appreciate his concern. I will remember this as a friend." An Qiao thought about it and decided not to let things go on like this.
She was afraid of getting deeper and deeper into trouble, and it was impossible for her to be a concubine, let alone a sidekick, so she didn't want to be one.
Qi Tao looked at the fruit in his hand, thinking that it was not worth much money, but when he saw the young lady's expression, he realized that it was not appropriate for men and women to touch each other.
Then he nodded immediately and went out again with the basket.
Gu Qingyun was still waiting there. When he saw Qi Tao coming, he immediately showed an expectant expression, "Do you like any of today's fruits, young lady?"
Qi Tao didn't nod or shake his head, but just said, "The young lady said that she thanked Mr. Gu for his kindness. As a friend, she appreciates the kindness, but she won't accept the fruit. The basket of fruit from yesterday was not finished yet. It's a bit of a waste to bring in piles like this."
Gu Qingyun frowned, "Why are you so stubborn? I told you, I don't have anything to do recently. Even if we're friends, what's wrong with sending some fruit? You're already so sick, and you still treat me like this..."
Qi Tao still handed the basket to Gu Qingyun. There was both rejection and respect on her face, and no one could find fault with her.
But Gu Qingyun still got angry for no reason, didn't take the basket, turned around and left.
Qi Tao could only carry the basket of fruit into the courtyard again, "Young lady, Master Gu doesn't want to accept it."
"I know he doesn't want to accept it, but I have to refuse him." An Qiao's temperature is not as high as it was yesterday, but she still feels dizzy.
She was half lying on the bed, reading a storybook. Next to her was a can of yellow peaches that Tong Yiyi had specially picked out.
"Why would you reject him, young lady? It's just a basket of fruit." Qi Tao always felt that she was asking questions with the answer in mind, vaguely, even though she had never experienced any "endless love", but...
An Qiao raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile. She looked at Qi Tao, and couldn't help revealing a hint of tenderness and envy in her eyes.
"Because we are not the same kind of people. His family is wealthy and powerful, his parents and brothers hold high official positions, and his ancestors have accumulated countless wealth. It is the hard work of generations that has led to today's achievements and power. But now that you have it, you have to pay for it. They have to take responsibility for getting married, making friends, speaking and doing things." An Qiao continued to eat canned yellow peaches. Seeing Qi Tao lowered his eyebrows and seemed a little overwhelmed, she spoke softly.
"Besides, I don't have any romantic feelings for him. I really think of him as a friend."
Even if it's a little touching.
But An Qiao is not a young girl who is just beginning to fall in love. She just wants to work hard to make money and live a peaceful and stable life.
Qi Tao nodded, not quite understanding, "As long as the young lady is happy, I just think it's a pity."
"What's such a pity? Didn't you say you didn't want to get married? We make money and spend money, make money and spend money, isn't that good?" An Qiao laughed. What's wrong with this? Isn't this the life of a rich woman that she always dreamed of?
Both parents are dead, and I have no brothers or sisters. I don’t need to support anyone, let alone shed tears for love.
Qi Tao nodded, "What the young lady said makes sense, I think so too."
In fact, Qi Tao was always confused about this matter. After all, she had never really experienced the taste of love.
But thinking back, I still think the young lady has some point. This is why I don't want to get married.
An Qiao saw Qi Tao's eyes gradually becoming determined.
??? Did the child misunderstand something?
Forget it. An Qiao still felt a little dizzy and didn’t want to care about it anymore.
……
On the other side, Gu Qingyun frowned tightly, as if a fly could be pinched to death between his brows, and his face was full of sorrow and anxiety.
An Qiao probably clearly rejected him just now, but I don’t know why.
If you consider the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words.
Gu Qingyun is confident that he can convince his parents.
If family is taken into consideration, Gu Qingyun doesn't believe it. Since he has never married, does he still have any choice?
Besides, An Qiao is no longer a commoner. She has been conferred the title of Shanruren, so it is not a very big title. Even in front of their family, it is just like duckweed, which is understated.
But only with hard work, Gu Qingyun believed that if he spoke highly of An Qiao in front of the emperor and did a few more such things, An Qiao would surely be promoted.
But if you don't like it.
...What should I do if I don't like it?
Zhao Huaiqing looked at Gu Qingyun and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, Lord Shaoqing? There are no cases in the Dali Temple, and you are worried and sick."
Gu Qingyun snorted in annoyance and didn't intend to tell Zhao Huaiqing.
Zhao Huaiqing added, "Oh, don't worry, the young lady in the Kyoto restaurant, I wonder if she caught a cold or got angry. But in such a hot day, she is probably getting angry. I heard she has a fever. I haven't seen her in the restaurant for two days, I'm still a little uncomfortable."
As Zhao Huaiqing spoke, he was biting his glutinous rice cake. The glutinous rice cake tasted really good when dipped in honey.
"This glutinous rice cake is really sticky and a little chewy."
(Zhao Huaiqing, chew chew chew.)
"I didn't go to the restaurant." Gu Qingyun said calmly. Although he seemed calm on the surface, he was actually devastated inside.
I'm just getting upset about this, why is this kid coming and reminding me so much?
"I'm going out for a while." Gu Qingyun shook his head helplessly, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly. He sighed in his heart that he could no longer stay in the Dali Temple.
I staggered aimlessly and unconsciously arrived at the door of my master's house.
As soon as I climbed in, I saw that the marquis had already put on his fishing clothes and was about to go out with his fishing gear.
"Master, where are you going?" Gu Qingyun stood on the porch and couldn't help asking.
"Let's go fishing." The Marquis had already asked the butler to close the door.
This old guy has been fishing every day since he stopped going to court every day.
"Where are you fishing? A new place? I want to go too." Gu Qingyun shamelessly jumped off the wall and insisted on following the Marquis.
