Gu Xiyan and Zhou Mu were sitting in the carriage in that carriage. She was very excited at first, but after a while she realized that Zhou Mu was particularly quiet today.
Although he was not usually a talkative person, he was not indifferent in front of her.
Gu Xiyan secretly wondered if he was angry because she ignored him?
She took the initiative to approach him and asked with concern: "Master, is there something on your mind?"
Zhou Mu's face was hidden in the darkness, a little unpredictable. When she met his deep and charming eyes, she felt inexplicably nervous.
Could it be that he saw something?
"I'm a little curious about who the master of Jixiang House is." Zhou Mu said calmly: "I just did some calculations and found out that just from the bidding tonight, Jixiang House made hundreds of thousands of silver taels.
This kind of ability amazes me.”
Gu Xiyan's heart skipped a beat and she tentatively said, "Shopkeeper Wu is indeed a capable person. In the past two years, I heard that he is the one who has kept Jixiang Building in order."
Even if Zhou Mu goes to investigate, she probably won't be able to find out that she is the boss behind Jixiang Tower?
After all, it was Wu Tong himself who was recorded as the shopkeeper of Jixianglou, and the person who had a relationship with Wu Tong was his mother. No matter how hard he went, he could not be traced to her.
It's just that she and he are an unmarried couple now, so even if he knows that she is the person behind the scenes, it shouldn't be a big deal.
"Shopkeeper Wu is more like an errand boy. I thought someone was scheming behind Wu Tong. I want to find out the true identity of that person." Zhou Mu suddenly approached Gu Xiyan, very close to her, and his breath seemed to be hot.
Wu Di squirted on her face.
Gu Xiyan's heartbeat almost stopped and she held her breath. She didn't know whether she was nervous because he was too close or because of the meaning behind his words.
She pretended to be curious and asked: "Why do you want to waste your time on a little person? If someone behind Wu Tong makes a plan and is found out by you, what will you do?"
"If there really is such a person, we need to take good care of him. If such a person cannot be used well and is taken advantage of by someone with good intentions, he will definitely become a disaster in the future." Zhou Mu endured it for a while, but finally couldn't hold it back and held on.
Gu Xiyan's soft, boneless hands.
He had been having a psychological struggle just now. He felt that he should not be too romantic because he was not married yet, but he still couldn't help but want to get close to her.
Gu Xiyan's attention was focused on the word "guard". She asked with a smile as if nothing had happened, "What does guard mean? Do you want to arrest that person?"
Zhou Mu laughed when he heard this: "It's not a bad idea."
Gu Xiyan's whole body felt bad. She looked down and found that her hand was held by him. She was immediately annoyed and pulled it back with force.
He wanted to lock her up so that she wouldn't be touched by him.
"You clearly deliberately lured Princess Baohe and Princess Yongjia into bidding today. Why?" Zhou Mu looked at Gu Xiyan's hidden little hand. His fingers were slightly itchy, but he didn't do anything wrong.
Gu Xiyan felt relieved. It turned out that he suspected this, so she felt relieved.
"I saw that Bao, Princess and Princess Yongjia were both very wealthy, so I thought they wouldn't mind spending more money, so I started to make noises. Usually when I go to Jixiang Building, shopkeeper Wu always makes me feel at home. I just help Jixiang.
Fragrant building, exciting the atmosphere." Gu Xiyan replied with a smile and found a good reason to excuse herself.
This was actually true, but she hid part of the truth.
"Jixiang Tower is not a simple place, please don't interact with Shopkeeper Wu." Zhou Mu's eyes were unpredictable.
It was as simple as she said. He was afraid that this girl was hiding something from him. He still felt that the relationship between this girl and Wu Tong was not that simple.
"I haven't even gotten married yet, and the young master is already disciplining me? I had a great time today and plan to go again tomorrow." Gu Xi replied with a cheeky smile.
Zhou Mu:……
He didn't want to discipline her, but he was afraid that she would be taken advantage of without knowing it. She was only sixteen years old, usually kept in a boudoir, rarely went out, and didn't understand the sinister nature of people's hearts.
His intuition told him that Jixiang Tower was not simple.
A restaurant that could earn hundreds of thousands of taels in one day was always outrageous, which made him subconsciously associate it with the person behind the scenes who was raising the price of charcoal.
"I don't want to discipline you, but I'm afraid that you will meet bad people who know people well but don't know their hearts. Some people may seem harmless on the surface, but in fact they are full of evil..."
Zhou Mu talked for a long time and found that Gu Xiyan was far away from him, obviously unwilling to listen to his teachings.
He laughed helplessly, this girl turned out to be a bit rebellious, and seemed quite different from the well-behaved person he thought she was.
"Girl, do you dislike me?" Zhou Mu moved to Gu Xiyan's side and spoke softly, fearing to offend her.
Gu Xiyan secretly thought that he was insinuating that she was harmless on the surface but was actually full of evil. How could she be happy?
"Xi Yan?" Zhou Mu's voice came closer.
Gu Xiyan did not move further this time. She changed the subject and said, "Whatever the young master likes to eat, I will make it for him next time."
Speaking of which, except for the "Xuelihuang" which was stolen from Soho, the menu for today's bidding was all taken from a long-lost cookbook that Qi Zhiyuan accidentally obtained in his previous life.
This time she was eager to make money, so she thought of trying this method.
At the beginning, she was prepared for the worst. If she could earn fifty thousand taels in two days, it would be considered a success. Today, the three kings of Zhao came and gave her one hundred thousand taels in vain. This was an unexpected surprise.
She planned to stop the bidding at noon tomorrow and have another auction in the evening, and this time the food festival would come to an end.
"You don't need to cook. Aunt Yin is here, just let her do it." Zhou Mu just didn't say that her hands were so beautiful, how regrettable it would be to do heavy work in the kitchen?
Gu Xiyan glared at Zhou Mu, feeling that this man was quite bored. Isn't it her intention to wash his hands and make soup for him?
"Do you really want to go to Jixiang Building tomorrow?" Zhou Mu brought the question back.
Gu Xiyan nodded without hesitation: "Yes, does the young master want to lock me up?"
Zhou Mu was confused when he heard this: "Do I look like such a scary person?"
Gu Xiyan secretly wondered if he just said he wanted to lock her up? If one day he found out that she was the boss behind Jixiang Tower, would he really send her to the Yamen...
No, she was doing business seriously, so he had no reason to lock her up.
Furthermore, she earns money so that she can deal with Zhou Xing in the future. The common enemy between Zhou Mu and her is Zhou Xing, and they are in the same boat.
"I was just joking." Gu Xiyan said, leaning closer to Zhou Mu, and said softly: "Actually, I have some friendship with Shopkeeper Wu. He is a very good person. Even if it is like what the young master said, Wu
If there is someone behind the shopkeeper, then this person must be good..."
"Don't rush to judge whether it is good or bad. You have to be more discerning. A businessman who can make a hundred thousand taels a day must be a profiteer." Zhou Mu interrupted Gu Xiyan.
[Qishi Couple Small Theater]:
Xiyan: Someone said they wanted to lock me up.
Zhou · Someone · Mu: Lock him up and pamper him every night...
