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

Gu Zhen and Wen Zhao got married in a low-key manner. They didn't have many friends in Shu, so they only invited their superiors and a few colleagues, and the ceremony was not complicated.

Wen Zhao felt a little guilty towards Gu Zhen for letting her come here and take risks. He could only be extra careful and not dare to leave any handle for the King of Shu.

After going out early and coming back late for several days in a row, Wen Zhao had obviously lost a lot of weight. Gu Zhen was busy opening the store and hadn't had a good chat with Wen Zhao for several days.

It was raining outside that day and the house was cold and gloomy. Gu Zhen asked someone to set up a pot and waited for Wen Zhao to come back for dinner.

The people of Shu like spicy food. Wen Zhao was a little uncomfortable with it at first, but later he got used to it and fell in love with the taste, which really satisfied his craving.

When Wen Zhao came back, Gu Zhen was standing under the corridor enjoying the rain. She was wearing a bright red cloak. From the brim to the front, it was trimmed with a circle of fine and soft white fur, making Gu Zhen look like a fairy from a painting.

Exquisite and charming, extraordinarily pretty, Wen Zhao knew how beautiful Gu Zhen was better than anyone else.

No matter what was offered in exchange, he refused to give in. Wen Zhao drooped his eyelids and threw away those complicated thoughts from his mind.

After seeing Gu Zhen, much of his fatigue from the day seemed to have been washed away. He strode over and hugged her in his arms, and Wen Zhao kissed the top of her head.

"Miss me?"

Gu Zhen leaned back against his chest and said, "Why are you saying such cheesy things as soon as you get back? What's wrong?"

Wen Zhao smiled without saying anything. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead. The flower ornament on her forehead was applied by him himself.

He kissed her earlobe again, kissed the round earring again and again, and finally kissed Gu Zhen's lips on her cheek.

Once they started kissing, they couldn't stop. Wen Zhao had something on his mind, so he carried her into the house. When he got to the inner room, he couldn't wait to press Gu Zhen against the door: "It's been a few days since we last kissed each other. Is it okay today?"

Gu Zhen also missed him, and she nodded softly. The two of them comforted each other before the meal was ready.

Finally, Gu Zhen realized what was wrong with Wen Zhao today.

Someone actually suggested that Wen Zhao offer his beauty and send Gu Zhen to the Prince of Shu's mansion so that she could board the Prince of Shu's big ship.

Gu Zhen sneered: "The King of Shu probably doesn't like that princess that much, he just did it for the emperor to see. Look at the concubines and even the concubines in the palace, none of them don't have a strong family background."

A very favored concubine, but she was the daughter of the richest man in Shu, and it was unknown how much silver she provided.

"If you want to check, you can always find something by checking the backgrounds of these people bit by bit."

The resemblance to the late princess was just an excuse. Gu Zhen didn't believe it. The reputation of the King of Shu was that he was deeply affectionate. He spent all day reminiscing about his late wife and didn't care about worldly affairs.

In fact, he secretly trained soldiers and forged weapons, won over officials from all over the country, and had a long reach. The women in the backyard were just a cover.

Wen Zhao knew what was going on: "I know everything. Don't worry, I have a way to handle it."

He took out a long box from his messy clothes and opened it to reveal a white hairpin.

"Put it on. You can buy whatever you like in the future. We are rich now." Wen Zhao smiled, with a hint of self-mockery.

He gathered Gu Zhen's hair, braided it skillfully, and inserted the hairpin.

Gu Zhen touched it and said, "This is not cheap. It will cost at least 1,000 taels of silver. Did you embezzle it?"

Wen Zhao sneered: "You are just trying to win me over. You have used all kinds of tricks. If I don't take the bait, wouldn't it be too unique in this Shu land?"

"Don't worry," he bent his head to kiss Gu Zhen, and also wanted to find some self-comfort, so he explained vaguely, "I have already told my senior brother in a secret letter that if we want to obtain evidence, we must cooperate more with the Shu King's faction. Collecting the money is just the first step."

Next, there may be houses, shops, farms, servants...

Everyone has weaknesses. Wen Zhao is not lustful, but he may be henpecked, greedy for money, and power-hungry. Wen Zhao will expose his various weaknesses step by step.

Sooner or later, he will be able to infiltrate the Shu King's forces and find evidence of his rebellion.

Gu Zhen's hair bun became tangled again due to his excessive demands. The hairpin fell out of her hair and fell onto the quilt. After a while, no one knew where it was wrapped up.

This is really like putting your head on your belt.

Wen Zhao promised in her ear under a low voice: "I have arranged for someone to escort you out of Shu if you are in danger, but... can you remarry in two years?"

"Just two years."

Gu Zhen bit her lip and pinched him, and the two of them laughed and made a scene.

Even if the future is full of difficulties and dangers, we must keep going together.

......

The summer in Shu was too hot, like a furnace. The restaurant used the ice that Gu Zhen had managed to make, and added some human-powered fans to lower the temperature a little.

This was the bad thing about ancient times: it made people uncomfortable both in winter and summer.

This was their second summer in Shu, and life was already getting back on track.

Wen Zhao thrived in officialdom, and his mind became more and more profound. Nowadays, few people could tell whether he was scheming or not when he smiled.

Gu Zhen was afraid that he would grow up to be a treacherous official.

When the branch store manager arrived, Gu Zhen was talking to the waiter at the counter. The waiter spoke with a Sichuan accent, which made Gu Zhen laugh.

She was fine. It took Wen Zhao a long time to adapt and understand what these people were saying, and now he can even say a few words along.

The store manager Chen came to report on his work. When he saw Gu Zhen, he bowed and said, "Boss, a merchant who used to work with my old boss's store has returned. His products are pretty good. When are you free to come over and take a look?"

Gu Zhen was free, so he followed Manager Chen to West Street. The branch had just opened, and there were brand new tables, chairs and benches inside. The newly hired clerks were all wearing uniform and looked high-spirited.

The guests were toasting each other and business was good.

Gu Zhen went straight to the backyard. The merchant seemed like an elegant scholar, polite and courteous. When he saw that it was a female boss, he seemed to frown, but hid it well.

However, Gu Zhen didn't pay attention to him, but instead took a few more glances at a thin servant who was following him.

The boy was wearing a hat and had a sallow face. When he saw Gu Zhen, he suddenly lowered his head and shrank behind the merchant.

Gu Zhen raised her eyebrows, forgetting for a moment that this was the time when the heroine Qingzhi fled the capital.

This traveling merchant is probably the second male lead who is willing to marry her?

Gu Zhen pretended not to recognize it, looked at the goods, and after some bargaining, bought a large batch of mountain products at a fair price.

After the traveling merchants left with their followers and luggage, Gu Zhen looked at Shopkeeper Chen and asked, "Are you familiar with this Mr. Xie from Guandong?"

Shopkeeper Chen was afraid that Gu Zhen would misunderstand that he was taking kickbacks, so he quickly explained: "We are not that familiar with each other, but there are not many merchants who come to Shu to sell Guandong goods. He is quite honest, and I have done business with him a few times following my former boss."

"He doesn't look very old, and he's a refined man. Hasn't he ever married?"

Shopkeeper Chen knew a little bit more about it: "To be honest, businessmen like them who travel between the two places often stay in one place for more than half a year, or even for several years. It is a tacit understanding that they have wives on both sides. Boss Xie should be no exception."

Shopkeeper Chen was still conservative. Merchants like them not only had wives on both sides of the family, but also had "traveling wives" on the road.

In fact, she was just a mistress and a bedmate, not even a concubine.

I just don’t know if this Xie Dong is that kind of person. It wasn’t mentioned in the original plot, after all, there wasn’t much writing about him. It was only when Gu Zhen saw him today and found that he was a few years older that she became suspicious.
