After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official

Chapter 35: Failed to show off and got slapped in the face

Xie Ran declined Xie Qing's invitation and went ahead with Gu Jin.

He took Gu Jin to visit many shops, but did not buy anything for Gu Jin, which made Gu Jin secretly complain.

He also said he would take her to see the world and see her worth, but in the end he didn't spend a penny. What's the point of a man being so stingy, no matter how good he looks.

"What do you think of the shops we saw just now?" Xie Ran walked over and asked in a gentle voice.

"Business is good. I think we're the only ones buying things." Gu Jin replied with a smile, but his tone was a little sarcastic.

Xie Ran smiled, as if he didn't hear the dissatisfaction in her tone, "It's not an exaggeration to say that these shops make a fortune every day. If Madam were to choose between these shops and five hundred taels of gold, I wonder which one Madam would choose?"

"Of course I'd choose a shop. Who would be so stupid as to give up a shop that makes a fortune every day and ask for five hundred taels of gold..."

Gu Jin's voice became lower and lower as she spoke. Seeing Xie Ran looking at her with a half-smile, Gu Jin couldn't help but widen her eyes, "Could it be that all those shops just now are... yours?"

Xie Ran smiled faintly without saying anything, and Gu Jin took a breath.

She really sold Xie Ran down!

"These are all my mother-in-law's dowry?"

Xie Ran shook his head. "Although my mother's dowry is hers to manage, it is also considered the property of the Yongchang Marquisate, and these are all my private property, so they don't need to be handed over to the mansion."

Gu Jin knew that the Su family was rich, but he didn't expect that even Xie Ran was so wealthy.

She looked at Xie Ran with eyes that became brighter and brighter. "I admire men like my husband the most, who are both capable and low-key. My husband is indeed a rare good man."

Gu Jin looked at Xie Ran with admiration in his eyes, completely forgetting what he had just said in his mind.

The fact that Xie Ran has so many profitable shops is enough to show his business skills. If she can get Xie Ran's guidance, the two shops under her may also be able to create miracles.

"Madam, do you regret selling me to Princess Jingmin now?" Xie Ran lowered his eyes and glanced at Gu Jin, with a hint of teasing in his smile.

Gu Jin raised her finger to the sky and swore sincerely, "I swear I never thought of selling my husband. I just couldn't stand Princess Jingmin's arrogance today so I teased her.

After all, there are thousands of men in the world, but you are the most handsome, my husband. If I had that kind of thought, I would never get married."

She never wanted to get married anyway.

Xie Ran's eyes were calm, he didn't believe a word Gu Jin said.

“This Jinyu Pavilion specializes in selling jewelry and is very popular among officials and their wives in the capital.

I see that Madam likes gold very much, so I will give this shop to you!"

Xie Ran said it lightly, but Gu Jin was shocked beyond words.

She pointed at herself and confirmed again, "Does my husband really want to give it to me?"

Xie Ran smiled gently, his eyes flashing with a gleam that Gu Jin had never seen, "Do I have a second wife?"

"Why are you giving it to me when you make so much money?" There is no free lunch in the world, and Gu Jin still finds it a little unbelievable.

Xie Ran was silent for a moment, then said quietly, "Madam, if you need money again, just take it from the shop. But don't sell me out at will in the future."

Gu Jin: “…”

Gu Jin coughed twice in embarrassment, avoided his gaze and said, "Well... I can't take over your shop for nothing, so how about this, you can get free medical treatment for life.

Even if you are on the brink of death again, I can pull you back. Isn't it a good deal if you think about it this way?"

Xie Ran: “…”

Gu Jin has sense, but not much.

Looking at the shop full of people, she decided to follow her inner voice.

No matter what conspiracy he has, let’s make money first!

Gu Rou also had a great time today. Although Xie Qing was a bit cold, he was very generous.

They visited several shops, and Xie Qing asked people to pay for anything that Gu Rou liked without saying a word.

Looking at Gu Rou choosing jewelry, Xie Qing seemed a little uninterested.

He wanted to find an opportunity to have a good talk with Gu Jin. He did feel guilty towards her, but he didn't want her to be angry with him all the time.

"Husband, which of these two bracelets do you think looks better?" Gu Rou stretched out her snow-white wrist and asked Xie Qing to help her choose with a smile.

Xie Qing only took a glance and said calmly: "If you like them, just buy them all."

Gu Rou got the response she wanted, and her smile became even brighter, "Thank you, husband. You treat me so well."

Gu Rou kept walking around until Xie Qing looked a little impatient, then she started to go back home. As soon as she got back to the Marquis' Mansion, she couldn't wait to run to Jinxiu Courtyard to show off to Gu Jin.

Happiness is doubled when shared, especially when that person is someone you hate.

"Sister, why did you return home so early today? I thought you had something important to do with the general. If I had known earlier, it would have been great if we could have gone for a walk together."

Seeing Gu Rou smiling like a flower, as if she had won the lottery, Gu Jin asked, "Second sister is smiling so happily, did she pick up some money?"

"Big sister is still as fond of joking as ever. It's just that my husband took me to the capital today and bought me some little things." Gu Rou raised her hand to brush the pearl hairpin on her temples, and inadvertently revealed the bracelet on her wrist.

He Huan, the maidservant beside Gu Rou, took the opportunity to say, "Young Madam, you said it was light, but it's not a small thing at all!

The eldest master bought ten pieces of silk and satin for the young lady, and also bought the best rouge, powder, eyebrow pencil and lipstick, not to mention the jewelry he bought for you at the Gold and Jade Pavilion!"

Gu Jin pricked up his ears and asked in surprise, "Where did you buy the jewelry?"

He Huan smiled proudly and said, “In reply to Third Young Madam’s words, the eldest master bought the jewelry for the eldest Young Madam at the Jinyu Pavilion.

The craftsmen of Jinyu Pavilion are second to none in Beijing. Every piece of jewelry in the store is unique. If the young lady buys these pieces, no one else will be able to buy them. "

Gu Rou curled her lips and scolded in a pretentious manner: "When did you become so talkative? If you do this again in the future, I will punish you!"

"Please forgive me, Madam. I will never say anything more in the future, lest people misunderstand that you are showing off."

The master and servant sang in unison and deliberately told Gu Jin what to say.

"Second sister has a good eye. The jewelry from Jinyu Pavilion is exquisite and unique. It is perfect for second sister!"

Gu Rou smiled and felt extremely happy.

"only……"

Gu Jin changed the subject, a smile flashed in her eyes, as if the sky was full of stars, "Just next time when you go, you can tell me in advance. We are family, so I should give you a discount."

Gu Rou looked puzzled and didn't quite understand for a moment.

Gu Jin glanced at Ruyi, and Ruyi smiled knowingly and said, "Madam, you don't know that this Jinyu Pavilion is the general's private property, and it has now been given to my Madam..."

Gu Rou: “…”
