Chapter 56 Cowardly

 Gu Yan returned to his home, took a shower, washed himself, changed his clothes and came out. Shi Gun hurriedly stepped forward to report: The teahouse on Shuyuan Street has sent a message. Miss Li asked the teahouse if she knew when the prince would be there.

"Has she returned to Pingjiang City?" Gu Yan asked with a raised eyebrow.

"It seems so." Shi Gun replied with a smile.

They all came here from the Tea House on Shuyuan Street, so they must be in Pingjiang City already, so there’s no need to ask.

"Go over and take a look." Gu Yan glanced out the window.

The sun has already set, but it’s still early before dark.

She must have something to do with him, what if it's urgent.

Li Xiaonan was very surprised when Wan Qing called her out.

"It's so late." Li Xiaonan pointed to the red round sun that was almost below the horizon.

"You say this to me as if I can make the decision." Wan Qing couldn't help but roll her eyes at Li Xiaonan.

"Yes, have you had dinner?" Li Xiaonan and Wan Qing walked out side by side.

"If I didn't come out, I would be eating right now." Wan Qing brushed her front.

Their family is very particular about eating in moderation, and she is a little hungry.

"You can't blame me." Li Xiaonan grinned dryly.

"Of course I can't blame you. How can I blame you?" Wan Qing looked at Li Xiaonan strangely.

"Haha, yes, yes, how can you blame me?" Li Xiaonan quickly nodded with a smile on her face.

"Did you call our prince here?" Wan Qing realized.

"No! I didn't scream! I just asked." Li Xiaonan denied decisively.

"Our prince is so kind to you! Can you come earlier next time? Look, it's already dark." Wan Qing looked annoyed.

"Why don't we go back? I'll get you one of the leek buns that Sister Mei has just steamed. You can eat them before we go over." Li Xiaonan turned around and was about to go back.

"I'm on an errand, so I can't eat anything flavorful. Let's go quickly." Wan Qing grabbed Li Xiaonan and pushed her forward.

Gu Yan was wearing a silver-white gown and a jade belt, standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back. When he heard the noise, he turned to look at Li Xiaonan and waved to her, "Come and see, this scenery has been cultivated."

After he bought the tea house, he had people rearrange and plant the flowers and plants in the rockery in the yard. After a winter and spring, the flowers and plants in the yard flourished.

Li Xiaonan looked at the window.

The yard is decorated with tall bamboos and gorgeous peonies. It is really beautiful.

"Why are you back so soon? Is everything okay?" Gu Yan looked down at Li Xiaonan.

"The wedding will be over after Sanchao returns home. It was a good one. Thank you." Li Xiaonan solemnly thanked you.

"Thank you for what? Add makeup? Or am I here?" Gu Yan looked at Li Xiaonan and smiled.

"They are all there. After you put on the makeup, it was really lively." Li Xiaonan sighed.

Gu Yan looked at her with a smile. For a moment, he raised his eyebrows slightly and asked with a smile: "Isn't it exciting?"

"I have something, I wonder if you can help." Li Xiaonan changed her words.

"Say."

"My business, I figured out a way."

"Is it still a fine cloth business?" Gu Yan held back his smile and motioned to Li Xiaonan, "Go on."

"I want to go to collect the fine cloth first. For example, it's Guo Alley. I'll go there every other day, or every three or five days. No matter whether I can receive the fine cloth or not, I'll go there, and I'll go there.

"First let everyone know that there are people who have been weaving fine cloth for many years. If jacquard muslin is better, and let everyone know that weaving fine cloth makes a lot more money than weaving coarse cloth, then they will want to weave fine cloth and change the loom, and I can

The looms were given to them on credit or leased to them."

Li Xiaonan looked serious.

Gu Yan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Well, that's a good idea. How can I help you?"

"I need a shopkeeper." Li Xiaonan's shoulders slumped, "If I go alone, maybe they will report me to Li Zheng again and call me a liar or something."

"Let me pick someone for you to use?"

"No. How can I afford to use your people?" Li Xiaonan quickly waved her hand. "This shopkeeper is just a sign. He stands there. He doesn't need to do anything.

"I want to pawn someone, and I asked. For such an old and useless old man, I can pawn for a year, take care of food and clothing, and give him half a shilling. I have money, so I can afford it.

"I am a woman and a bit young. If I go to marry someone, even if I can get it, I am afraid that the guest will bully me.

"Can you lend someone to accompany me to the mortgage? Just say it's his business. If anything happens, he can come forward and help me deal with it, like your shopkeeper."

Li Xiaonan pointed to the shopkeeper of the teahouse.

Gu Yan trailed off and said, "I understand. What if you, an old and useless person like Dianxia, ​​really receive the fine cloth? Who will carry it? Also, if you encounter a bad guy, he will rob you

What should I do if I steal your money and steal your cloth?"

When Li Xiaonan heard Gu Yan's last sentence about encountering a bad guy, she glanced at him.

With his words and tone, did he treat her like a child?

"There are porters everywhere in Pingjiang City. I can carry two pieces of cloth each." Li Xiaonan only answered the first sentence and ignored the second half.

"I'll give you Awu and her cousin." Gu Yan said straightforwardly.

"No!" Gu Xiaonan flatly refused.

She can't afford to support those two people!

"It's not appropriate for you, a little girl, to be alone or with a man, no matter how old you are. I'm not worried. This is one of them."

Gu Yan looks more serious than Li Xiaonan,

"Second, you are a little girl. If someone is rich, it is easy for people to have evil intentions. Ah Wu is good at martial arts and can protect you."

"No!" Li Xiaonan firmly refused.

"There's a third one." Gu Yan leaned forward, "These two idiots can't stay in Linhai Town anymore, otherwise, they might slip and fall into the water one day, or be hit on the head by the mast, and their lives will be in danger.

."

"No, you have plenty of room to arrange for them, but I don't want them." Li Xiaonan refused without leaving any room.

"Awu offended you?" Gu Yan looked at Li Xiaonan.

"No, no! I have a small business and can't afford bodyguards, no!"

"You don't need to support me, you just use it." Gu Yan waved his hand proudly.

Li Xiaonan turned her head away from him, "No!"

"Well, how about I buy a share of your business? Just use Awu to buy the shares, and her cousin will give it to you for free. One share, half a share, is fine." Gu Yan pointed her finger at the table.

"No!" Li Xiaonan said every word through gritted teeth.

"Either you accept Ah Wu, or you figure out the shopkeeper's matter yourself." Gu Yan pointed at the table.

Li Xiaonan looked at him, and Gu Yan met Li Xiaonan's gaze with a sincere expression, "Xiaonan, you have to learn to be flexible when doing things. As long as the big things are right, don't worry too much about the details.

"Besides, you are begging me now, right? You have no other way, right? If you had any way, you would definitely not find me here.

"He who knows the current affairs is a hero, Miss Anan."

"Awu is a person, not a thing. She is yours. I will lend her wages to you for one year. If you make money, you will pay it back to you with interest. If you don't make money, you will use it to repair it." Li Xiaonan gritted her teeth.

Tao.

"Okay!" Gu Yan agreed happily.
