Quick Wear: Who said soft girls have to be obedient! biu!

Gu Zhen borrowed some money from Xiao Chen and rented a small courtyard.

In front of the yard is a small storefront, and behind it is a house for people to live in.

The backyard gate does not face the street and the location is very good.

The previous tenant had just moved out and Gu Zhen came here, which was considered a bargain.

Gu Zhen planned to settle down first, save up some embroidery work, and take it to the front to sell.

The original owner was best at embroidery. She could make handkerchiefs, silk flowers, and even round fans.

It took a whole day to clean the house inside and out.

The next day, Gu Zhen did not rush to work, but changed into low-key clothes and went to inquire about the whereabouts of Luoluo.

Several days passed like this, and Gu Zhen still hadn't gotten any accurate information.

In such a big capital city, it is really hard to find someone if he wants to hide.

I don’t know what happened to this girl.

Gu Zhen couldn't just sit there and do all her work, so she had to give up and focus on embroidery at home.

She priced these things quite high.

A handkerchief costs six coins and a silk flower costs one coin of silver.

The round fan is more expensive, costing three cents.

Even a more exquisite purse would cost three taels of silver.

Her shop is not particularly remote, but the prices are too low and seem low-class.

On the first day of opening, Gu Zhen only sold one silk flower.

She was not discouraged. Good things are worth waiting for, and sooner or later someone who knows the value of the food will come to her.

On the second day of opening, Gu Zhen's business was better.

Sold three handkerchiefs and two silk flowers.

Another customer was so impressed by her craftsmanship in making round fans that he ordered one with a peony pattern, and said he would pick it up in a week.

This made Gu Zhen very happy, and he closed his stall early and went back to work.

Looking at the busy Gu Zhen, Xiao Chen and Shen Huaizhi on the second floor of the teahouse opposite were silent for a long time.

Xiao Chen is now very popular in the capital, overshadowing the second prince and becoming the most favored heir to the throne.

Shen Huaizhi, on the other hand, kept a low profile and helped Xiao Chen secretly.

But when he had nothing to do, he would sit on the second floor of the teahouse and quietly watch Gu Zhen busy herself.

She also quietly drove away a lot of ruffians.

If what Gu Zhen wants is such a stable life, Shen Huaizhi is willing to stay with her forever.

Xiao Chen thought about forcing Gu Zhen to stay by his side countless times.

But looking at her genuine smile now, Xiao Chen really couldn't force her.

The two of them had their own thoughts, and they both knew that the other had not given up on Gu Zhen.

Xiao Chen took a sip of tea and casually asked the person opposite him who was staring at him, "Brother Shen, have you heard about the incident in Xiyi?"

Shen Huaizhi retracted his gaze, "I heard that Princess Yuan Li of Xiyi is on her way to the capital. Maybe she can catch up with the New Year."

Speaking of Princess Yuanli, Xiao Chen thought of what Gu Zhen had said about his dream.

He was a little curious about why Gu Zhen was so sure that she would fall in love with someone else.

"Xiyi has come here for marriage. In your opinion, who is the most suitable person to be the consort?"

Xiao Chen doesn’t care about Xiyi’s support now. Without the crown prince, the second prince is completely insignificant.

And His Majesty's health is getting worse.

Whether the marriage is a peaceful alliance or not is no longer a timely help to Xiao Chen, but only icing on the cake.

Even if Yuan Li was determined to marry him as in Gu Zhen's dream, she could only be a concubine.

The future mother of a country should not be a foreigner.

Shen Huaizhi didn't understand what Xiao Chen meant.

Did he want him to marry the Western Yi?

But he didn't want to.

"I think Xiyi can be a good help to you. Princess Yuanli is not wronged to be a concubine."

Xiao Chen remained noncommittal.

.

That night, Shen Huaizhi sneaked into Gu Zhen's courtyard at night.

The night was cold, and he waited in the house for a long time before he dared to approach Gu Zhen.

Perhaps because she was busy all day, Gu Zhen slept soundly.

He had no idea anyone was approaching.

Shen Huaizhi didn't know whether he should be happy that she was simple-minded or annoyed that she was not vigilant.

If he hadn't protected her secretly, the girl, who was all alone, would have been eaten by someone long ago.

Shen Huaizhi gently stroked Gu Zhen's little face, full of affection.

I don't know how long he sat there before he left with a kiss.

When Gu Zhen woke up the next day, he didn't notice anything wrong.

Still excited and ready to greet the new day.

It’s just that the firewood in the yard had been chopped at some point and was neatly stacked there.

Gu Zhen suddenly realized that someone had been here.

The first person she thought of was Shen Huaizhi.

If it was Xiao Chen, with his straightforward personality, he might wait for her to wake up and take credit for it.

Gu Zhen had a strong sense of powerlessness, and she felt helpless.

This is not like modern society. You can run even if you want to, but you can't hide.

But since Shen Huaizhi didn't show up, Gu Zhen pretended not to see it.

Anyway, it's nice to have some free labor.

Gu Zhen figured it out and stopped worrying about it. He skillfully made a fire and cooked.

At this moment, the gate of the courtyard creaked and was pushed open.

Gu Zhen didn't hear any noise and was still adding firewood to the stove.

Luoluo ran in and saw her young lady looking so dirty and dusty. She cried out “wow”.

"Miss! Miss, why are you doing such rough work! Wow! Miss, you must have suffered a lot!"

The cry of Green Radish echoed throughout the courtyard.

Gu Zhen never expected that she would suddenly see the green ivy she had been looking for one morning.

"Luluo! You're back!" Gu Zhen rushed over and hugged her, "Where have you been? I've been looking for you for a long time!"

The two hugged each other and cried, expressing their longing for each other.

Gu Zhen saw that Luoluo had lost a lot of weight and her round face had become pointed.

"Good green radish, you've suffered so much, I'll cook for you! My cooking skills are pretty good now!"

Gu Zhen stood up excitedly, planning to make a pancake and stir-fry a side dish.

Luoluo felt even more upset and refused to let the young lady work no matter what.

"Miss, I'll do it. I'll do this kind of rough work from now on."

Gu Zhen didn't argue with her, and the two of them were busy in the kitchen together.

According to Luoluo, she successfully escaped that day and no one chased her. Afterwards, she secretly returned to the house, but there was no sign of Gu Zhen.

I knew that the young lady had definitely not been caught by Shen Huaizhi.

Luoluo searched for several days but couldn't find any trace of Gu Zhen, so she had to find a job as a temporary worker.

I wash clothes for my masters in the backyard every day.

Gu Zhen touched her little hand lovingly.

Green Radish followed her and never did these things.

Luoluo thought she would never find a young lady in her life, but yesterday, when she was washing clothes, she suddenly saw a handkerchief.

Isn’t that embroidery work the craft of our young lady?

Luoluo asked along the way, and luckily the family was a nice one, so she told them everything.

Immediately, Luoluo quit her job without even asking for her wages and rushed to find her mistress.

Gu Zhen also talked about his recent experiences.

Hearing this, Green Radish opened her mouth wide.

"Miss... the Third Prince is in love with you, you..."

Gu Zhen shook her head: "It is impossible for me, your lady, to share my husband with others in this life."

Green Radish chuckled. It was the first time she heard such funny words.

"Then Miss, what should we do in the future?" Luoluo is not afraid of hardship, but is afraid of wronging the Miss.

Gu Zhen pointed to the shop in front and said, "Work hard, pay back the money first, then buy a house."

Luoluo nodded repeatedly: "I am not good at embroidery, so I help the young lady to shout."

Gu Zhen was relieved, and then solemnly announced another plan.

"Of course, the most important thing is that I have decided to invite a son-in-law to live with me!"
