Xie Ningxia didn't know how long she slept. When she woke up, it was already very late. She sat up from the bed and touched her stomach. She was a little hungry. She got off the bed and walked to the door to find something to eat.
Unexpectedly, when she opened the door, she saw Gu Li standing at the door, "Mr. Gu? Why are you standing at the door?"
Gu Li stood at the door for a long time. He came to ask Xie Ningxia to finish her meal, but when he came, he found that Xie Ningxia had not woken up yet and did not disturb her. She was just waiting outside.
"I'm here to get you dinner."
Xie Ningxia smiled at Gu Li, "Hehehe, I happen to be hungry, let's go!"
Xie Ningxia followed Gu Li to the main hall for dinner. When she arrived, Shen Wan was already waiting there. Shen Wan saw Gu Li coming and stood up to greet her. Xie Ningxia didn't have so many rules and just sat down to eat.
Shen Wan was shocked by Xie Ningxia's every move. She had never seen such an unruly woman. Gu Li hadn't sat down yet, but Xie Ningxia sat down first. However, Shen Wan saw that Gu Li didn't express anything about Xie Ningxia's behavior. Didn't say much.
Xie Ningxia looked at the food on the table. It was still so light. She put down the bowl and chopsticks after taking a few bites. She held her chin with both hands and looked at the food on the table. When Gu Li saw that Xie Ningxia was no longer eating, she also put down the bowl and chopsticks. "What's wrong?" ?Not to your liking? If you want to eat anything, I will send someone to prepare it."
Xie Ningxia turned to look at Gu Li next to her, "I don't want to eat vegetables, I want to eat meat."
How did Xie Ningxia know that Gu Li had always been honest and dedicated to the public affairs, and only relied on a small monthly salary to maintain the family's livelihood. Moreover, Gu Li did not like to eat meat, so the dishes on the dinner table were mainly green vegetables. In the imperial palace, or now in Prince Qing's Mansion, there are basically delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, but suddenly these lighter meals are unbearable.
When Gu Li heard that Xie Ningxia wanted to eat meat, she immediately sent someone to prepare it, and soon a bowl of chicken was served.
Xie Ningxia looked at the steaming chicken, swallowed her saliva, and started to eat. However, Xie Ningxia looked at how she was the only one using chopsticks among the three of them, "Miss Shen, Mr. Gu, why don't you eat?"
Gu Li looked at Xie Ningxia and shook her head, "We don't like eating meat."
Xie Ningxia oh-ohed twice and continued to enjoy, but how could Xie Ningxia eat it all by herself? She only ate a small portion and felt full, "Mr. Gu, I'll go back when I'm full."
Xie Ningxia ran away before Gu Li could say anything. Although Shen Wan felt resentful as she watched Xie Ningxia leave, she couldn't say anything, "Gu Li, Miss Huan'er has such a free and easy temper."
Shen Wan thought that Gu Li would say a few words to Xie Ningxia, but she didn't expect that Gu Li smiled and said nothing else.
Xie Ningxia did not go back to her room at all, but looked around the house for Gu Li's study. She remembered that when she was in the brothel, the woman said that Gu Li was the examiner of the imperial examination. Since he was the examiner, he must have read the papers of the number one scholar. .
The Gu Mansion was not big. Xie Ningxia found the study room soon after. She opened the door and started rummaging through the moonlight. All of them turned out to be files that had nothing to do with the exam. Xie Ningxia thought to herself, would she have to ask Gu Li personally?
Xie Ningxia turned over nothing and could only go back in despair, but what she didn't know was that Xiaoxue saw her when she came out of the study.
Xie Ningxia returned to the room and fell on the bed looking at the roof, "What should I do? I'm so annoyed."
"What's so annoying?"
Xie Ningxia was startled, and turned around to see that it was Gu Li standing next to her. Xie Ningxia was still lying on the bed without standing up, "Why didn't Mr. Gu knock on the door when he came in?"
Xie Ningxia's question stopped Gu Li, "I'm sorry, I just saw that your door was open and I came in."
"Master Gu, what do you want from me?"
"I'm just here to ask if you need anything else. I'll send someone to prepare it immediately."
Xie Ningxia tilted her head and looked Gu Li up and down. Since Mr. Gu was so polite, Xie Ningxia didn't hesitate to talk about food, clothing, and supplies. Gu Li was not familiar with these things, so she could only go to the desk and write them down.
Come down.
When Xie Ningxia saw Gu Li walking to the desk, she stood up and followed him. She looked closely at Gu Li's handwriting, "Mr. Gu's handwriting is so beautiful."
Xie Ningxia's sudden approach made Gu Li's hand holding the pen pause. It seemed like it was the first time he was so close to a woman while he was awake. Xie Ningxia looked at Gu Li and stopped writing, "Why don't Master Gu stop writing?"
Only then did Gu Li react and continue writing. Xie Ningxia stood next to Gu Li and watched Gu Li write, "Master Gu, I heard that you are the examiner of this year's imperial examination?"
When Gu Li heard Xie Ningxia ask this question, she was surprised at first, and then felt that she was overthinking it. She should just ask casually, so she just said "hmm" to Xie Ningxia.
Xie Ningxia felt that she could really ask something from Gu Li, "Then who is the number one pick this year?"
"Cui Ke, now he has been admitted to the Hanlin Academy."
"Does Mr. Gu know this person?"
Gu Li didn't understand what Xie Ningxia wanted to say, so she could only look at Xie Ningxia and continue, "I heard that this person is a notoriously stubborn kid. How could he become famous and become the number one scholar in one fell swoop?" This chapter has been completed!
