67: Section 67
The highest authority in this city, Xiao Ding, was standing on the viewing platform in front, watching it all with satisfaction.
When he saw Xiao Huang running from the backyard to the front yard, Xiao Ding immediately reprimanded her.
"Huang'er, go back!"
"This is not a place for you!"
Hearing the familiar scolding, tears welled up in Xiao Huang's eyes…
……
Great Song, Linjiang City, Linjiang Spring Restaurant.
Su Mo walked over at this time, not noticing Guo Lin's unusual behavior.
"What's wrong, Second Miss?"
Guo Lin suddenly turned her head.
Her face was wet, indistinguishable whether it was rain or tears.
She pointed a finger at the clothes in the wooden basin.
"What's wrong with these clothes?"
Seeing that Guo Lin's emotions were a bit off, and there seemed to be several needle marks on her index finger, Su Mo, who didn't know what had happened, cautiously spoke.
"Heroine Xu came again this morning; her clothes were all wet. She gave me ten taels of silver, ate a meal, took a hot bath, and then changed into clean clothes."
Hearing Su Mo's words, Guo Lin suddenly felt much better.
But she still couldn't help but mumble softly.
"Why is she here again…?"
Su Mo proudly tossed the silver in his hand at this moment.
"This is a God of Wealth."
"Come, haven't you eaten yet? The steamed buns just came out not long ago, and they're kept warm with lids on."
"Come and eat."
"Oh."
Guo Lin then reluctantly went to the kitchen and sat down on a stool with a huff.
Su Mo quickly brought two plates of steamed buns.
Chun Lan has a small appetite; three are probably enough for her.
Guo Lin often practices martial arts, but she hasn't mastered it, so six or seven are about right for her.
Just as Guo Lin was eating the steamed buns in big mouthfuls.
Xu Miaoyin walked over, looking dry and refreshed.
She was wearing the same white close-fitting attire as yesterday, and because it was tight, her curves were even more striking.
Her originally wet hair had been dried by her Internal Skill, and she had simply tied it into a high ponytail, giving her an air of neatness and boldness.
Looking at Xu Miaoyin in front of him, Su Mo's eyes lingered.
It had to be said.
The destructive power of such a mature woman was extraordinarily strong.
Guo Lin began to feel uneasy after seeing Su Mo's gaze.
The steamed bun in her mouth was chewed and chewed, but she couldn't swallow it no matter what.
Suddenly, Guo Lin stood up.
She lifted her tender white face.
"Su Mo, why is she here?"
Su Mo was stunned at her words; hadn't he just told her?
Xu Miaoyin's lips curved into a faint, almost imperceptible smile.
"I'm really sorry, I heard yesterday that this restaurant is property of the Generals Residence."
"You little girl, you must be General Guo's daughter, you truly are beautiful."
She didn't know if it was intentional.
When she said 'little girl', she deliberately emphasized the word 'little'.
At the same time, Xu Miaoyin puffed out her chest as she spoke.
The atmosphere began to become a bit subtle.
Guo Lin gritted her teeth, her small fists clenching until her skin turned red.
What did this old woman mean?
Isn't she just a little older than me?
What's there to be proud of!
Thinking of this, Guo Lin looked down at her embroidered shoes.
With breasts that big, you probably can't even see the road when you look down!
Chun Lan, seeing the situation, pulled Guo Lin.
"Young Miss, don't we have something to tell Steward Su today?"
Hearing Chun Lan's words, Guo Lin also came back to her senses.
The handkerchief she had embroidered all night had not yet been given to Su Mo.
Thinking of this.
Guo Lin directly pulled out a pink handkerchief from her bosom.
However, the embroidery on the handkerchief was a terrible sight; the stitches were crooked and uneven, some places were densely sewn into a knot, while others were extremely sparse.
The lotus flowers on it were completely unrecognizable from their original appearance, and the two lines of couplets beside them were a blurry black mess.
It was impossible to tell what words she intended to embroider.
The overall craftsmanship was crude, as if it had been embroidered by a child for amusement.
Su Mo was also a little surprised when he saw the handkerchief.
"Second Miss, where did you get this handkerchief? It looks so… so unique."
Guo Lin snorted.
"It's for you!"
"Oh."
Su Mo subconsciously took it, looking at the crooked stitches on it, wondering what use this handkerchief could possibly have.
"Then, when is she leaving?"
At this moment, Guo Lin looked at Xu Miaoyin.
"It's opening tomorrow, and I remember our restaurant doesn't offer accommodation, does it?"
Upon hearing this, Su Mo shook his head.
"Miaoyin will stay for a few more days, probably about ten days."
"She's waiting for those Disciples to arrive."
Miaoyin?
Guo Lin couldn't help but scratch her ear with her pinky finger.
She suspected she had misheard.
When did her Su Gege start calling her so intimately?
Xu Miaoyin's expression was a little smug.
She looked down at Guo Lin, maintaining a polite smile on her face.
You want to snatch Su Lang from me.
You little girl are still too green.
Seeing this scene.
The anger in Guo Lin's heart was almost uncontrollable, and then she glanced at Su Mo.
"What did you just call her?"
Su Mo was a little strange at Guo Lin's angry expression.
"Miaoyin, Second Miss."
"Heroine Xu asked me to call her that, what's wrong?"
Hearing that it was Xu Miaoyin's own request, the volcano about to erupt in Guo Lin's heart temporarily subsided.
Glancing at Xu Miaoyin, who had a hint of a mischievous, triumphant smile in her eyes, Guo Lin immediately realized that Su Mo, that big blockhead, definitely didn't know her intentions.
If that was the case, then she had nothing to worry about.
Immediately, Guo Lin put on a sweet, smiling expression.
"So that's how it is."
"Then can I call you Elder Sister Miaoyin from now on?"
Seeing Guo Lin's face change faster than a Sichuan opera, Su Mo only felt it was strange.
Xu Miaoyin was a little surprised.
She hadn't expected this little girl to compose herself so quickly.
Not simple.
But this was just the beginning, there was still a long time ahead.
Thinking of this, Xu Miaoyin showed a brilliant smile and casually brushed a strand of hair behind her ear.
"Of course, little sister, I don't know your name yet."
"Guo Lin."
"Oh, so it's Younger Sister Guo Lin, you're really cute."
"Of course."
As if smelling gunpowder in the air, Chun Lan, who was nearby, pulled her Young Miss.
"Young Miss, aren't we supposed to go back and pay our respects to Madam?"
"Don't delay important matters."
Guo Lin only remembered at this moment that she had originally planned to leave after eating and giving the handkerchief to Su Gege.
But who knew such a thing would happen.
She unhappily glanced at Su Mo and Xu Miaoyin.
Guo Lin suddenly felt a little worried.
What if these two, a single man and a single woman, were in the same room alone and Su Gege did something to betray her?
But when Chun Lan saw Guo Lin hesitating, she, worried about something happening, immediately forcefully pulled Guo Lin away.
Su Mo saw this and followed to see Guo Lin off.
At the restaurant entrance.
Guo Lin opened her umbrella and looked at Su Mo.
Her gaze was complex, wanting to say something, but thinking of her current status, it wasn't enough for her to say anything intimate.
After holding it in to the very end.
She could only manage one sentence.
