Gu Xiyan happily agreed and went to the kitchen to tell her all the steps and ingredients for making pastries.
Grandma Yin looked at Gu Xiyan's skillful movements and could see that she often cooked delicious food.
This Miss Gu is neither arrogant nor impetuous, has a gentle temper but is independent-minded, and has a pretty face. How great would it be if she could be paired with the young master?
Although Zhou Mu has a noble status, because he grew up in Fallen Immortal Temple, he advocates freedom and equality for everyone, so that people around him never judge others by their family background.
In the eyes of Aunt Yin and others, Miss Gu is a rare good girl. She grew up in an environment like Wanqinghou Mansion, but she can grow up to be so outstanding. This is commendable.
Qi Zhiyuan found Zhou Mu at the well.
Zhou Mu was washing his face with well water. Looking from Qi Zhiyuan's perspective, he saw the young master dressed in green clothes. The clear water flowed down from his jade-like handsome face, and a few drops of water fell on the young master's collarbone.
The young master obviously had a face that could be compared to an immortal, but at the moment he was so sexy that even a man who looked at him would have the urge to take off the young master's clothes.
Qi Zhiyuan had served Zhou Mu for many years and thought that he had long been accustomed to the young master's beauty. But now it seemed that the young master's face was too alluring and his determination was not very strong.
"What are you looking at?" Zhou Mu washed his face with cold water and felt that his mind was finally clear.
Thinking of the charming thoughts that came to his mind when he saw Gu Xiyan before, he felt that he had no face to face Gu Xiyan.
Qi Zhiyuan coughed lightly and replied: "Miss Gu is making snacks for the young master, and she is doing it herself. Do you want to go and have a look, the young master?"
"What's there to see?" Zhou Mu said, looking away from the kitchen.
When Qi Zhiyuan saw this detail, he secretly wondered why the young master always said what he meant.
"Then go take a look, there are also freshly baked snacks you can try..."
Before Qi Zhiyuan finished speaking, Zhou Mu's long legs had already passed him and headed towards the kitchen.
Zhou Mu thought he had calmed down, but when he saw Gu Xiyan busy in the kitchen, his heartbeat showed signs of speeding up again.
His eyes fell on the red and swollen half of her face, and his heart tightened. He opened his thin lips and said, "Mommy, go help. Miss Gu, come out!"
"I have a little more to do, sir, wait a moment..."
Before Gu Xiyan could finish her words, a slender man with a straight figure was already standing in front of her. He looked at her quietly. Just a look in her eyes made her even more stressed.
She silently put down the pastries she was about to put into the pan and followed Zhou Mu out of the kitchen.
She didn't know why she was so timid. He obviously didn't say anything, but a look in his eyes made her dare not say "no" again.
The two of them walked into the yard one after another, their footsteps mingling and their clothes dancing in the wind. It was Zhou Mu who was the first to break the silence: "Today is supposed to be the day when the girl and Young Master Xu San see each other. Why is it Liu San?"
The girl went to see each other instead of the girl?"
He still doesn't know what happened.
"Third sister was very pleased with Mr. Xu, and threatened to visit you on my behalf because of my aunt's upbringing. I couldn't refuse, so I agreed," Gu Xiyan replied truthfully.
Zhou Mu looked back at her: "Miss Liu San asked you to give in, and you gave in? Can you give in easily on important matters like marriage?"
Gu Xiyan looked into Zhou Mu's clear and warm eyes, lowering her eyelids like a child who had done something wrong: "The third sister said that my aunt is kind to me. She is right. I have no other way to repay my aunt, so
I agreed to Third Sister’s request. Furthermore, I think people like Mr. Xu are not as easy to fool as the Liu family imagined."
Liu Junyan was very proud of herself and always felt that she had stolen Xu Yanqing away.
If Xu Yanqing had no interest in Liu Junyan, even without her, Xu Yanqing would not be able to fall in love with Liu Junyan.
Didn't the result be that the Liu family was humiliated by Xu Yanqing?
"Although you had already made your decision, you were still hurt this time. Don't be stupid again in the future! There are many ways to repay Madam Wan Qinghou for her nurturing grace, and you don't need to give up your marriage. Mr. Xu Sangong
How is your character? You can observe it carefully later. Judging from Mrs. Wan Qinghou's reaction today, it must be that Young Master Xu said something unpleasant that made them and their daughter lose their composure. This shows that Young Master Xu is a kind person.
Your character is quite good, and I haven’t given up on you easily because of your status and discipleship..."
Zhou Mu's voice faded away.
What is he doing? Does he still want to arrange a marriage between Gu Xiyan and another man?
But he was clearly attracted to her. She was different to him, but he felt that this difference was probably just a common problem among men. It was just lust and had nothing to do with love between men and women.
He was not as magnanimous as he thought, which was why he felt ashamed of Gu Xiyan.
At this moment, Zhou Mu was a little confused.
A long time ago, he discovered that he had no intention of love between men and women. He did not plan to get married, partly because of the influence of his master.
He always felt that one day he would return to Fallen Immortal Temple and pass away there. Fallen Immortal Temple was his final destination.
Gu Xiyan was listening attentively when suddenly Zhou Mu stopped talking. She looked up curiously and found that Zhou Mu looked a little dazed, as if he was troubled by something.
"I have dealt with Mr. Xu twice, and I feel that he has no shortcomings except that he is a little too enthusiastic." Gu Xiyan agreed.
"Whether there are any shortcomings will only be known after getting along with him. How long have you known Mr. Xu for how long? Don't make any judgments easily." Zhou Mu said seriously: "It is about a girl's happiness for the rest of her life, so she needs to be cautious."
"I listen to the young master." Gu Xiyan had no objection.
She felt that Zhou Mu seemed uninterested and could not stay for a long time, so she left Zhou Mansion.
When parting, Zhou Mu seemed to have something else to say to her, but in the end he just told her not to be bullied by the Liu family again.
After Gu Xiyan returned to Xiyuan, she thought of the stern look of little Gu today, and suddenly felt that she should arrange a way out for herself.
Both Little Gu and Liu Junyan were dissatisfied with her, and she was fostered under Little Gu's name. If things were to be like today, she might as well move out.
It's just that a woman obeys her father at home and her husband when she gets married. If she moves out, people will be criticized. Zhou Mu kindly helps her arrange so many young talents to meet her. She can't move out of the Marquis Mansion unless it is absolutely necessary.
But people always have to have a sense of crisis, and they have to find a way out for themselves first.
Although she could stay in Zhuangzi on the outskirts, she had to move around the city frequently, so she had to buy a house in her own name for emergencies.
The house that Su Mei bought was in the name of Su Mei's cousin. It had other uses and could not be used as her residence.
The only thing is that she is not married. Unless her household registration is independent from the Wanqinghou Mansion, she can buy private property.
At present, she has not found an opportunity to become independent from Wanqinghou Mansion.
When the day comes that she has to break up with the Hou Mansion, she can find Xu Yanqing, the head of the Household Department, and then her household registration should not be a problem.
