"Gu's business is in Jiangnan, accounting for 40%. From now on, you must write me a letter every ten days. If you encounter any important matters, you must send it to me by express horse, no matter when. I will also write you a letter. Seeing the letter is like seeing the person. It is like we are meeting again. Why are you sad?"

Although Gu Feiwan said so, he still felt reluctant.

Qinglin is a capable maidservant beside her. With her around, the little maids under her are well-behaved and no one dares to act rashly.

However, since Gu Feiwan values ​​Qinglin, he cannot ruin his future.

Since Qinglin has the ability and talent, she should lend a hand and give him a helping hand. There is no reason to keep him by her side.

On the contrary, Gu Feiwan had to work hard to push Qinglin so that he could do what he wanted without any worries.

It is extremely difficult for a woman to achieve success in her career. Gu Feiwan hopes that everyone around her can realize their own value.

Qinglin was pulled to sit down, and then stood up: "I have something to say to you, young lady."

Gu Feiwan had no choice but to let go and sit up straight: "Okay, you talk, I'll listen."

Qinglin waved at Peng Liuzi and whispered, "Why don't you come over here?"

Peng Liuzi ran for two steps like a puppy being called. When he got close to Qinglin, he carefully stepped back half a step.

Gu Feiwan became more interested as they watched. These two people didn't look like colleagues!

"Pfft!"

Qinglin suddenly knelt on his knees. When Peng Liuzi saw this, he quickly knelt down as well!

When Gu Feiwan saw this, he hurried over to help: "What are you doing? What's the big deal that's worth this?"

"Help Master Peng up quickly, his leg injury hasn't healed yet!"

But Qinglin was stubborn and refused to get up, so Master Peng naturally didn't dare to get up either.

"Okay, now you are in a bad temper and you don't want to listen to me! Just kneel down and tell me, what happened outside?"

Hearing Gu Feiwan's somewhat annoyed tone, Qinglin kowtowed heavily before raising his head and saying something:

"Miss, I have secretly made a lifelong commitment with him!"

"Ah?" Gu Feiwan exclaimed: "When did it happen?"

"Three months ago." After saying that, Qinglin bit her lip and said, "I see that he has skills and is a down-to-earth person. I think that even if it is because the girl saved him, he dare not treat me badly!"

"Yes, I will never treat Miss Qinglin badly. I swear to treat her well for the rest of my life!"

"He promised me that he would only have me for the rest of his life. Even if I don't have children, he won't look for another woman."

"Yes, I, Peng Liuzi, will only marry Qinglin in this life. Even if I have no offspring, I will never marry again!"

"He also swore that no matter where the lady sent me, he would follow me and would never let me be alone."

"Yes, wherever Qinglin is, that is my home, Peng Liuzi. Even if it's to the ends of the earth, I will follow her!"

"He...he also said that I would be in charge of the family finances in the future, and that I would be in charge of all matters at home..."

"Yes, not only the family wealth, but even my life, all belongs to Qinglin!"

Gu Feiwan laughed angrily when he heard this: "Wealth? What wealth do you have? You are penniless and don't even have ten taels of silver in your pocket, yet you want to marry my right-hand man? You are really out of your mind and you are just daydreaming!"

Peng Liuzi was extremely embarrassed and muttered quietly: "Boss, I actually still have eleven taels of silver in my pocket!"

"Get lost!" Gu Feiwan was furious. "Qinglin is the most important person to me. I am not afraid to tell you that the dowry I prepared for her is worth a thousand taels of silver. What are you going to use to marry her? Your eleven taels, or your dilapidated yard? Or your lame leg?"

Gu Feiwan is really angry!

She regarded Qinglin as a sister, and the husband she envisioned for Qinglin should be a well-off wealthy man, if not an ambitious minor official.

In short, when Qinglin gets married, she will have someone to serve her, will not have to worry about food and drink, and will enjoy a lifetime of happiness.

But what does Peng Liuzi have?

He is old, looks only passable, comes from an average family, has a widowed mother who needs money to support her every day, and now has a lame leg.

If a girl from another family was attracted by Peng Liuzi's talent and married him, Gu Feiwan would definitely give him a thumbs up and praise him, "He is so affectionate and righteous!"

But the one who is going to marry in is Qinglin, and Gu Feiwan doesn't agree!

Not to mention that Qinglin is now going to succeed as the head shopkeeper of Jiangnan, just because she is the eldest maid beside Gu Feiwan, this marriage is simply wishful thinking for Peng Liuzi!

"Master Peng, you asked me before, wanting to get away from Wuzhou, and I agreed. You can set off immediately, and someone will take care of you along the way. When you arrive in the capital, whether you want to become a disciple or learn skills, the Gu family will help you!"

"You should know that if I spread the word that I'm going to pick a husband for Qinglin in Jiangnan, how many people would rush to propose marriage? I'm afraid even your county magistrate will have to wait in line!"

Peng Liuzi was so dejected after being scolded that he dared not utter a sound.

Gu Feiwan stroked his chest and poked Qinglin's head with a look of dismay:

"You usually seem to be much smarter than Qing Shuang, so why are you so confused about something like this?"

"How much suffering will you have to endure for nothing if you follow him? I'm not being snobbish, I just feel sorry for you!"

"Besides, I have always kept your marriage in mind. If there is a suitable one, I will naturally mediate for you. Why did you have to find him?"

Qinglin took two steps on his knees and leaned against Gu Feiwan's knees:

"I know that you love me, but I dare to ask you, do you think that if I marry into a wealthy family, with all those rules, I will still be able to work? I don't want to be locked up in the backyard, just giving birth to children, fighting with my mother-in-law or concubines for my whole life. Miss, I want to be the head shopkeeper, like Madam Chen, and have the confidence to leave whenever I want!"

Gu Feiwan was stunned on the spot. She had always thought that Qinglin and Qingshuang had served her for so long and risked their lives for her in their previous lives.

In this life, she would do whatever it takes to arrange a rich and stable life for the two of them!

But Qinglin's words woke her up!

Yes, I have worked so hard for so long, just because I don't want to be bound in the inner courtyard of the backyard anymore.

The world outside is so vast, she wants to see different scenery like a man.

Even though Ning Weizhou loves her very much now, Gu Feiwan still doesn't want to sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor. Her goal has always been to move forward side by side with her lover, rather than being the woman behind Ning Weizhou!

"Have you thought it through?" Gu Feiwan stroked Qinglin's hair. She now had enough ability to protect Qinglin under her wings and let Qinglin be a comfortable rich wife.

Although the head of the Gu family was in a good position, he had to work a lot every day, and was far less relaxed than the ladies in the backyard who were painting their eyebrows and hair.

Sometimes people might even say something sarcastic like, "How can a woman show her face in public?"

Or "So what if he's the boss? Aren't you still his servant?"

Add to that Peng Liuzi's family background, and there are even more people gossiping about him!
