"The girl is a noble daughter of the Hou family. Now she is valued by Marquis Wan Qing. She has also made a marriage agreement with the young master, but she went out early in the morning. Before going out, she lied that she was looking for Miss Su Er, and she did not return home until this hour. She must be
He did something shameful." Qi Zhiyuan expressed his suspicion.
Zhou Mu patted Qi Zhiyuan hard on the shoulder: "If there's anything else, I'll finish it in one go."
His palm almost crushed Qi Zhiyuan's body.
The young master probably thought that Miss Gu was simple and kind-hearted, and didn't like to hear him say anything bad about Miss Gu, but he really felt that Miss Gu was acting suspiciously.
"If there was nothing wrong in her heart, why did Miss Gu lie? Miss Gu just returned home at this time. Could it be that she was meeting a man outside..."
After receiving the cold look from Zhou Mu, he immediately shut up: "This subordinate just said it casually."
Forget it, the young master is already fascinated by Miss Gu. There is obviously something wrong with Miss Gu, but the young master is unwilling to admit this fact.
He is not afraid of anything else, but he is afraid that Miss Gu will have a wild man outside. If she puts a cuckold on the young master, what will happen to the young master with a green head?
Zhou Mu, the master and the servant, arrived at the Chuihua Gate and saw Marquis Wan Qing waiting there. It looked like he had been waiting for a while.
Wan Qinghou first saluted Zhou Mu, and then asked: "I just learned before that Sister Xi goes out early and doesn't come home until late at night. If Master Xi wishes that Sister Xi would go out less often..."
"Don't restrain her, let her do what she wants. She is a smart girl who knows what can and cannot be done. I hope Mr. Marquis will also remember one thing. She does not need to be restrained all day long like other noble ladies.
In the boudoir." Zhou Mu knew what Wan Qinghou wanted to express and promptly interrupted him.
Although he just discovered today that Xi Yan is not as simple as he thought, he doesn't think this is a bad thing.
Who stipulates that women must never leave the front door or step out of the second door?
Even if the laws of the Jin Dynasty require this, Xiyan does not need to comply.
When Marquis Wan Qing saw that Zhou Mu was talking about this matter, he agreed obediently.
Zhou Mu and Wan Qinghou said a few more words and then returned to their homes.
Qi Zhiyuan followed Zhou Mu and asked, "Sir, should we send someone to secretly protect Miss Gu from tomorrow on?"
By the way, I took a peek at what Miss Gu was doing outside and who she was interacting with.
Zhou Mu turned to look at Qi Zhiyuan, his eyes were not very sharp, but Qi Zhiyuan's scalp was numb.
"You claim to be protecting her, but in fact you are secretly monitoring her every move. Is this your intention?" Zhou Mu opened his lips indifferently.
Qi Zhiyuan lowered his head and replied: "This subordinate is also doing it for the good of the young master."
He was afraid that Miss Gu would hurt the young master one day, so it was better to be cautious.
"She is my unmarried wife. We will become husband and wife in the future. No matter what she does or what trouble she gets into, I will help her. Besides, I can trust her character. She can't be with me."
On the premise of getting married, she also went out to have a private meeting with other men." Zhou Mu simply stated all Qi Zhiyuan's concerns.
Although he was also curious about what Gu Xiyan did when she stayed out all day today, he could not send anyone to monitor her actions.
Qi Zhiyuan was speechless for a moment, unable to refute his master's words.
"Master, don't you wonder what Miss Gu is doing outside?"
Qi Zhiyuan received Zhou Mu's cold eyes and had no choice but to shut up.
Over there, Gu Xiyan sent Zhou Mu away and continued busy.
She pulled Hu Die to sit down and asked, "How much do you think our dim sum should be priced at?"
"How about five hundred coins?" Hu Die thought for a while and replied.
Gu Xiyan laughed when she heard this: "I plan to price it at fifty taels of silver."
Everyone was stunned and thought they had heard something wrong.
"Are you kidding?" Hu Die said in disbelief.
"You also tried today's pastries. Is it delicious?" Gu Xiyan said, taking out the food box and letting Chunhua try it too.
Chunhua's eyes lit up after eating it: "It's delicious, it has a light fragrance, it's crispy and soft."
"Although it's delicious, it's too outrageous." Hu Die just didn't say that she would not spend so much money to buy a box of pastries.
"This is the palace's secret pastry. It has a taste that has never been tasted before. Even Your Majesty has never tried it." Gu Xiyan said seriously.
Hu Die stepped forward and asked, "Are you really planning to sell fifty taels per box? With such a high price, who do you think would spend such unjust money?" Hu Die wanted to persuade Gu Xiyan to turn around.
Gu Xiyan smiled: "Didn't I ask you to deliver a message to Su Mei today? She will help me. And I have four good sisters who will also help me."
Several people looked at each other, thinking that Gu Xiyan was crazy about money.
The four girls of the Liu family all wanted to trample Gu Xiyan to death. How could they help Gu Xiyan sell the cakes?
Fifty taels of snacks per box, I don’t even think about it, it’s outrageous anyway.
"Let's give it a try. Anyway, we only prepared a few hundred boxes. Even if we can't sell them, it's decent to give them as gifts. So we decided, fifty taels per box. If they sell well, we'll raise the price!" Gu Xiyan yawned.
: "I have to get up early tomorrow, I'm going to take a bath and rest."
Hu Die also knew that she was very tired.
At first she was making dim sum, but later she had to write the menu for the food auction, and even teach the cook the steps in person. While she was watching from the sidelines, she felt tired for Gu Xiyan, not to mention Gu Xiyan herself.
"If you work so hard, you will definitely succeed in the future." Hu Die said in a rare emotional moment.
She had been living a dull life these past few years, always thinking that most women in the boudoir were like her.
Only when I met Gu Xiyan did I realize that women can live such a wonderful life and live so hard.
Gu Xiyan smiled.
This life will always be better than the last. At least she still has a chance to work hard, whether she succeeds or not.
She was indeed exhausted mentally and physically. After taking a bath, she fell on the bed and fell asleep.
The next day, Gu Xiyan got up early. She specially changed into a red short coat embroidered with dark flowers on her eyebrows, paired with a horse-faced skirt of the same color. She also put on a pretty girlish bun and wore a hairpin set with rubies.
Tassel hairpin.
Today, her makeup is more delicate and heavier than before, with bright lipstick.
Her complexion is as fair as snow, and she usually wears simple clothes, but today she is wearing red for the first time, which makes her beautiful and beautiful, stunning.
As soon as her makeup came out, everyone said "Wow" in unison.
"Fortunately, you are already married. Otherwise, if the men outside see it, everyone will want to marry you home." Hu Die circled around Gu Xiyan and was attracted by her good looks.
"Is it too gorgeous?" Gu Xiyan was not sure.
She wanted to be more public today and bring out the anger of the four sisters of the Liu family, so she had to put some effort into her dress.
It's just that as she grows older, she rarely wears such brightly colored clothes. What she wore today is really eye-catching.
"No, no, you are good-looking, so you should dress like this." Hu Die looked at Gu Xiyan and looked away.
"Xiaodie, get ready. I'll go to Zaohui Hall to say hello first, and then I may go out with my four sisters." Gu Xiyan said business.
Since you want to sell the pastries at a high price, you must take the four sisters of the Liu family to Jixiang Building.
