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

"In any case, it was obtained through reasonable and legal means. Sister Zhen, just take it and don't worry." Wen Zhao avoided the main point and refused to answer the question directly.

Gu Zhen snorted and threw the bag of silver on the table in front of him: "If you don't want to tell me, I won't ask, but I dare not use the silver, and I won't hire anyone. If someone grows up to be difficult to discipline and doesn't listen to me as a sister-in-law, how dare I use their money!"

As he said this, he stood up and was about to go into the inner room. Wen Zhao became anxious and ran over to grab him. Gu Zhen lost her balance and fell into Wen Zhao's arms. Wen Zhao quickly let go as if he was scalded.

He scratched his head to ease the embarrassment and had to tell the truth: "I just helped someone with a small favor."

"Sister Azhen, come with me." Wen Zhao decided to show it to her in person.

Gu Zhen followed Wen Zhao into his study with a look of suspicion. She had also reserved a separate study in the courtyard behind the restaurant for the "exam preparation students" in her family. She seldom came in normally, but today, she saw that it was very tidy inside.

Why is there a pair of dice on the desk? !

"You went to gamble?" Gu Zhen's eyes turned red with anger, "I paid for your education, and you went to gamble?!"

Seeing her anxious, Wen Zhao quickly explained: "How could it be, it's... He is the cousin of a student in my uncle's school. He lost to the bastard in the family when playing dice, and he was so angry that he asked us for help. He was just playing in private..."

That is, Wen Zhao won a game for this classmate's cousin, and the cousin was so happy that he rewarded him with fifty taels of silver.

"......" Gu Zhen still didn't understand, "You've never played these before, how did you win?"

It’s normal for a novice to lose all his pants when a veteran wins, right?

Wen Zhao smiled and said, "It's not that difficult. I saw them learn it after playing one game. They are just bluffing."

He picked it up and demonstrated it, shaking it and then putting it on the table: "I spent a whole night practicing and found that there is a regular pattern in the dice's rotation. Although there is uncertainty, as long as you control the strength, you can control the speed and direction of the dice on the inner wall."

Gu Zhen was a little surprised. In modern terms, this is the effect of centrifugal force and gravity. If you practice well, you can indeed control the dice.

"Sister Zhen, maybe it's hard to predict what the dice will come up with, but people's hearts are easy to control. The cousin of that student is simple-minded, and everything he thinks is written on his face. On the other hand, his brother is very cunning, but he has a flaw. He likes to move his right thumb when he lies, and he likes to say "I" twice when he is proud."

"You are such a talent." Gu Zhen gave him a thumbs up.

Wen Zhao knew that she was angry, so he took the dice to the yard and smashed them with stones. Seeing Gu Zhen sitting in front of the chair, he had no choice but to half-kneel beside her.

"I'm sorry, I won't do such opportunistic things in the future. I promise this will be the last time, okay?"

"Don't be angry. From now on, I will focus all my attention on my studies..."

Gu Zhen touched his head and said, "You can try to figure out people's hearts for fifty taels of silver today, but will you try to figure out people for more money or more things you want tomorrow?"

"A Zhao, don't take detours, be down-to-earth. I don't want you to have these stains on your body when you become an official in the future."

She saw the potential for Wen Zhao to become a powerful official. Wen Zhao was smart, willing to learn, diligent and hardworking, and a very flexible student.

Gu Zhen never thought of him as a nerd. On the contrary, he had a wide range of interests, just like the kind of academic genius that her classmates envied the most when she was in school.

You can master any knowledge you want without any effort.

This kind of person is too smart. Once you study him carefully, you will find that you can't hide anything he is thinking.

Gu Zhen believed that Wen Zhao had bottom lines and principles, otherwise what he would get back today might not be just fifty taels. He might even use the fifty taels to win five thousand taels in the gambling house.

I hope he can keep the bottom line and not cross that line when he serves as an official in the future.

Wen Zhao was half squatting, but when he saw that Gu Zhen was serious, he simply knelt at her feet: "I really know I was wrong, Sister Zhen, don't worry, I know what I am doing, please don't be angry, okay?"

Gu Zhen smiled and helped the man up: "You taught me that knowing one's mistakes is the best way to improve. Okay, get up."

Wen Zhao didn't know whether she had calmed down or not. It happened to be the school holiday, so he was at home reviewing his lessons and observing. He was relieved when he saw that Gu Zhen had used the fifty taels of silver to hire a doorman, a few old women, maids, and servants.

After returning to the school, the student came to him again in a mysterious manner. This time, the reward he offered was even higher. As long as he helped them win one or two taels of silver from others, he could get 30% of the profit.

Compared to doing any business, it makes money faster.

Wen Zhao didn't want to offend anyone, and he said he was just lucky before. These people didn't believe him and dragged him to play a few times. Wen Zhao lost all his pocket money this month before they finally let him go.

He learned a lot of lessons from this incident. Although playing games with others was exciting and thrilling, the consequences that followed were indeed beyond his prediction.

Nor can it afford it.

Because not long after, these people were dissatisfied with gambling privately, so they went to a gambling house together. Not only did they lose all their money, they were also forced to sign a promissory note.

The people in the gambling house cheated and played them like fools. Finally, their family members got to know the news and came out to solve the problem. Wen Zhao heard that these people suffered terrible consequences.

His classmates were expelled by the teacher. That cousin and his half-brother had their backs torn by canes, and were told that after they recovered from their injuries, they would be sent together to the most strictly managed academy in the capital to become "ascetic monks."

These things did not involve Wen Zhao at all, which made him feel relieved. From then on, he concentrated on his studies and did not dare to slack off at all.

Gu Zhen had also been observing him for more than a month and was interested in finding out more. These things were naturally not secrets, and Gu Zhen couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

It's good that he learned a lesson. Wen Zhao is a good boy after all, he's just too smart. Smart people don't like to be disciplined. No matter how much you reason with him, it's better for him to figure out the consequences himself.

She no longer focused on Wen Zhao and focused on the restaurant business.

Now that it has been open for a while, the "He Juxing" chain restaurant has become quite famous in the wharf area.

At first, there were many people watching the fun, but later on, these sarcastic remarks were no longer heard because the business was incredibly good.

The food here tastes different. The fast food at the door tastes good too. I heard that it is the dish developed by the female owner herself.

As Gu Zhen expected, the dock workers were reluctant to spend ten cents a meal, and they dared not even think about it, as they could only earn fifty to one hundred cents a day.

But I can still afford to buy the soup. The smell of that big pot of stew can even eat up the dry food in my hands.

If you really can't help it, it's okay to have a fast food meal occasionally.

As for those small businessmen who travel back and forth from north to south, they have money in their hands and never want to spoil their appetite while working outside. Ten cents for a meal is nothing to them.

Business was booming for a while, and it was very lively inside and outside the store.

The private rooms on the second floor were also full of people. These were wealthy merchants who were willing to spend a few dozen coins to order a dish.

Gu Zhen sometimes cooks herself, but more often she is there to check the food.

Her face is also a living signboard. Whenever she stands in the store, she can attract a lot of customers.

Some people heard that this Mrs. Gu was a widow at a young age and was supporting her younger brother-in-law to take the imperial examination. Some people admired her, but some people also had dirty thoughts.

However, they soon found out who the master of Gu Dong's uncle was, and that he was actually a fellow apprentice of the prince from the Princess's Mansion who was demoted to be the county magistrate in Qinghe Town.

This relationship makes people afraid to have any bad intentions.

Although the Crown Prince has lost his heart, the Princess is still there. A lean camel is bigger than a horse, and she is not someone that ordinary people like them can afford to offend.

No wonder a woman dares to open a shop in a busy city, it turns out she has nothing to fear.

Gu Zhen didn't know that she had unknowingly performed an "empty city plan". If she knew, she would have confirmed the relationship quietly to make people more wary.
