marriage contract

The restaurant that Chu Junyi and Gu Chengzhi entered was called Huibin Restaurant.The waiter in the restaurant saw a guest coming in, so he hurriedly greeted him, and greeted with a smile: "Master Liu, you are here, please go upstairs."

Chu Junyi nodded, and walked upstairs with Gu Chengzhi.

The waiter greeted them, and at the same time made a few gestures to his companions, asking them to prepare tea and snacks, and inform the shopkeeper by the way.

The second floor is mostly private rooms, Chu Junyi walks to the innermost room with ease, pushes the door open and enters.

This private room doesn't look like a restaurant room, but more like a study room at home. In addition to the tables and chairs, there are bookshelves against the wall. Several rows of books are neatly placed in it, and the desk is on the bookshelf. Next to it, there are all kinds of treasures in the upper study room, and on the other side of the private room are reclining chairs.

Gu Chengzhi raised his eyebrows when he entered, he was a little surprised by this private room full of home atmosphere.

Chu Junyi didn't say much, sat on the chair and smiled at him.

The waiter in the shop moved quickly, and within a short time after the two of them sat down, the tea and snacks were all served, and then said with a smile: "Master Liu, I have sent someone to find the shopkeeper, please wait a moment."

Chu Junyi nodded and waved him down.

When there were only the two of them left in the room, Chu Junyi asked with a smile, "How do you feel about this place?"

"Not bad." Gu Chengzhi reached out and poured him a cup of tea, and then poured another cup for himself.

"Look outside." Chu Junyi took a sip of tea, then pointed out the window.

Gu Chengzhi got up and walked to the window, he had a panoramic view of the whole street, and this window was facing the red makeup powder shop left by Mr. Chu San.

"I never paid attention to it when I came here before. Now that I think about it, my father did it on purpose." Chu Junyi put down his teacup, walked to Gu Chengzhi's side, and looked at the face powder store opposite, with a slightly flat tone.

This Huibin restaurant is the private property left by the third master Chu to Chu Junyi, just like after the death of the second master Gu, all the private properties under the name of Gu Cheng belonged to the name of Gu Cheng, and the private property under the name of the third master Chu was also given to Chu Junyi .

It's just that the owners of these three stores are Guan Qing, so even the Chu family didn't realize that the third master Chu still kept such a trick.

In the past, Chu Junyi came here just to have a look. This private room was never open to the public, and he only thought it was for his family to rest and entertain.

But when he saw those three stores and thought of the Huibin restaurant diagonally opposite the Xiangfen store, he had to think more.

Gu Chengzhi reached out to wrap his arms around his shoulders, and was about to speak when there was a knock on the door behind him.

"It should be Shopkeeper Liu." Chu Junyi patted Gu Chengzhi's hand on his shoulder, smiled at him again, then turned around and said, "Come in."

Shopkeeper Liu got permission, and pushed the door just in time to see Gu Chengzhi's hand slipping from Chu Junyi's shoulder, but he still walked in after a pause.

When shopkeeper Liu closed the door and came to stand in front of Chu Junyi, Chu Junyi and Gu Chengzhi had already sat back on their chairs.

"Sixth Lord." Shopkeeper Liu bowed to Chu Junyi, his eyes only stayed on Gu Chengzhi's face for a moment, and then he stood aside with his eyes and nose and heart watching.

"Shopkeeper Liu." Chu Junyi nodded slightly, pointed at Gu Chengzhi and said, "This is Gu Sanye."

Shopkeeper Liu's face changed slightly, and he glanced at Gu Chengzhi again, his eyes were full of horror, but then he restrained his expression, saluted respectfully, and said, "Mr. Gu."

Usually when Chu Junyi came to see him alone, the servants around him would be sent to the first floor, but when the waiter in the shop found him just now, he said that Chu Junyi did not come alone, he was accompanied by a man.

But Chu Junyi didn't mean to introduce Gu Chengzhi by the waiter in the same store, so the waiter in the store knew it well and didn't ask any more questions.

And the shopkeeper Liu knew that Gu Cheng was not an ordinary person when he saw him. This kind of temperament and aura is definitely not something that ordinary people can cultivate, it should be the son of a family.

But when Chu Junyi introduced Gu Cheng, even though shopkeeper Liu behaved well, there was a huge wave in his heart.

There are quite a few families with the surname Gu in Beijing, and there are quite a lot of men who can be the third child in the family, but Shopkeeper Liu can only think of one Mr. Gu who can be related to Chu Junyi.

Master Chu San has only one son under his knees. He is said to be shy and doesn't like to go out.

And after the third master Chu passed away, those subordinates of the old club met the young boss, and found that the rumors could only be regarded as half-truths and half-false.

But Shopkeeper Liu has a different relationship with Master Chu San. He almost watched this child grow up. He feels distressed about Chu Junyi's situation, but there is nothing he can do.

Chu Junyi's marriage was full of turmoil, and the day of the wedding ceremony was so crowded that even old buddies like them couldn't help but go over to join in the fun.But there are too many people and the distance is too far, people can see it, but they can't see the face clearly.

There were many marriages between men and men in the previous dynasty, but it is rare in this dynasty, especially if they are still married like this, they will also worry about whether Chu Junyi has been wronged.If Gu Chengzhi was dissatisfied and bullied Chu Junyi, it would be good. They had always known the attitude of the Chu family towards Chu Junyi, and those people would definitely not care if Chu Junyi was wronged.

But today, Chu Junyi came with Gu Cheng, and behaved so intimately that shopkeeper Liu's heart couldn't help trembling.

Chu Junyi exchanged a few words with shopkeeper Liu and then went straight to the topic: "I don't know if shopkeeper Liu recognizes this thing?"

Shopkeeper Liu looked up and saw that it was a copper token with the word "Love" flying on it. His expression changed immediately, and his eyes immediately turned to Gu Chengzhi.

Gu Chengzhi smiled but didn't say much.

"Does Shopkeeper Liu recognize you?" Chu Junyi asked again with a smile.

Seeing that the faces of the two were as usual, Shopkeeper Liu lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice, "I certainly recognize them."

"Then, does Shopkeeper Liu know what to do?" Chu Junyi then asked.

"Yes, Master Liu, please wait a moment." Shopkeeper Liu gradually clenched his hand hanging by his side, bowed and saluted before stepping back.

"I heard that the business of the incense powder store across the street is very good. Shopkeeper Liu sent someone to buy a box of the best-selling ones." Chu Junyi seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly ordered.

"Yes." Shopkeeper Liu paused and withdrew.

Chu Junyi picked up the teapot and cup on the table, and invited Gu Chengzhi to sit by the window together, drinking tea while looking at the opposite side.

"Shopkeeper Liu has a problem with me." Gu Chengzhi leaned against the window frame and said with a smile.

"You're not a woman, so it's normal to have opinions on you." Chu Junyi said jokingly.

Gu Chengzhi smiled and shook his head. Shopkeeper Liu obviously didn't believe him, but since Chu Junyi was here, he had to obey his orders.

The smile on Chu Junyi's face restrained a little, his eyes glanced out of the window from time to time, and he said in his mouth: "The shopkeeper Liu is my father's former servant. After getting married, he was sent here by my father to be the shopkeeper. He is very trusted by my father. .”

"They still want you to marry a wife?" Gu Chengzhi asked softly.

Chu Junyi didn't nod or shake his head, but this attitude was regarded as acquiescing.

The third master Chu has always been very kind to his subordinates, and those people also miss old love, especially those who have served him personally.

And after the third master Chu passed away, these people were all in Chu Junyi's hands, but Chu Junyi didn't have the heart to make any reforms, and the jobs and treatment of those people were the same as when the third master Chu was there, and Chu Junyi was nothing A mean person, both sides get along very harmoniously.

The relationship is good, and they don't have any dirty thoughts. As Chu Junyi grows older, those people naturally start to care about Chu Junyi's lifelong affairs.

But Chu Junyi can't touch women, and he doesn't want to marry a wife. He has been procrastinating all these years. If the people left by the third master of Chu see him, they will inevitably ask him a question.

But Chu Junyi's marriage is really difficult to solve. If someone with the same family status as the Chu family can promise him a daughter, he must be a prostitute. But with his character, which family's girl dares to marry, and which family's parents are willing to marry daughter.Those who are willing to marry are either concubine daughters or those with a bad reputation. This kind of girl, Mrs. Chu, can't even look at her. She doesn't like Chu Junyi, but if she marries that kind of daughter-in-law, the whole Chu family will lose face.

For people who are slightly worse, Mrs. Chu will be more picky. It is normal to delay Chu Junyi until he is in his twenties. Anyway, it is okay for a man to marry later.

It was really an accident to get married with Gu Chengzhi, but Chu Junyi felt that this was the best result he could accept, especially after connecting with Gu Chengzhi, every day made people feel extremely happy.

It's a pity that other people don't think so. Shopkeeper Liu can still hold back, and Chu Junyi's bringing Gu Chengzhi over is just showing his attitude.

Gu Chengzhi held Chu Junyi's hand and interlocked his fingers. This person was chosen by him, and he would never let go no matter what the cause or who was.

Chu Junyi coughed lightly, staring at the powder shop opposite, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up in a pleasant arc.

But after a cup of tea, there was another knock on the door. Chu Junyi gave Gu Chengzhi a wink, and then said, "Come in."

The two of them have been sitting by the window, and they have a panoramic view of the powder shop. There are only female customers coming and going. I didn't see shopkeeper Liu or the waiter in the shop, but they came here so quickly, probably because of someone. own contact information.

Following shopkeeper Liu came in a man of about 40 years old, with a medium build and an ordinary appearance. He looked taciturn. After entering the door, he saluted first and said, "Lu Qin has met Liu Ye and Gu San Ye."

"Shopkeeper Lu, you don't need to be too polite." Chu Junyi glanced at Shopkeeper Liu again, knowing that he was the one who told Lu Qin about Gu Chengzhi's identity, and was very satisfied with his knowledge, "Shopkeeper Liu has also worked hard."

"It should be, it's not hard." The shopkeeper Liu also saw what Chu Junyi meant, and said so, but felt a little bitter in his heart.

After bringing him here, shopkeeper Liu wanted to back down, but Chu Junyi's next sentence fixed him in place.

"Mr. Gu is my destined person, and his words will be like mine in the future." Chu Junyi threw down the mine in a flat tone, regardless of whether others would accept it or not.

"Sixth Master!" Shopkeeper Liu couldn't help but exclaimed. He had a premonition when he heard Chu Junyi introduce Gu Cheng, but he still had a little bit of luck, but now... Chu Junyi is in a certain place. This degree of stubbornness is even worse than that of the third master Chu.

"I know what I'm doing, and I'm sober now." Seeing that shopkeeper Liu still wanted to talk, Chu Junyi preemptively said, "We're already married."

Shopkeeper Liu was dumbfounded, his shoulders slumped, and his head drooped.

Back then, Third Master Chu wanted to marry a girl from the Tang family, anyway, the Tang family was also a family of officials, so it was as long as Third Master Chu liked it.

But Chu Junyi fell in love with a man, and if he didn't get married, he could still stop him. Now that they are married, can he still persuade them to divorce their wives or make up? !

Now that Chu Junyi is determined to live with a man, what can they do...

Shopkeeper Liu left dejectedly, leaving Lu Qin alone to face his master...and his master's destined person.

Chu Junyi has been observing Lu Qin, and I have to say that the third master Chu is really good at picking people. When Lu Qin heard his words, his expression was very shocked, but then he suppressed his emotions and stood with his hands down, like It's like nothing happened.

"Sit." Chu Junyi pointed to the opposite chair.

"Thank you, Master Liu, for your kindness. Lu can just stand up." Lu Qin replied with downcast eyes.

Chu Junyi didn't insist either, but just said with a smile: "I just came here today to take a look, shopkeeper Lu doesn't need to think too much."

Lu Qin is not a servant of the Chu family, he is a commoner, just looking at the business of the incense powder shop, he can tell that he is a qualified shopkeeper.

"Yes." Lu Qin replied, took out a wooden box from his arms, opened it and saw that there were six rouge boxes.

"Are these the best-selling items in the store?" Chu Junyi glanced at them but didn't reach for them.

"Yes." After Lu Qin finished speaking, he put the wooden box on the table, and he stood back to his original position.

Chu Junyi took a few glances at the wooden box, then raised his head to stare at Lu Qin for a moment, and asked, "Does Shopkeeper Lu have something to say to me?"

Lu Qin kept his head down, raised his eyes and asked, "What does the sixth master want to ask?"

"I just asked shopkeeper Lu because I didn't know what to ask, what did my father explain?" Chu Junyi said with a light smile.

Third Master Chu left behind a lot of things and arrangements, but these can only be known or obtained by him with corresponding actions, just like that letter, that key...

Chu Junyi could understand that this was the good intentions of Master Chu San, but he still couldn't figure out what the meaning was unclear.

Now Chu Junyi didn't bother to guess, so he simply asked if he could tell him directly what the third master Chu had explained.

Lu Qin pursed his lips, as if he was thinking about something, looked up at Chu Junyi and then lowered his head.

"Can't you say anything?" Chu Junyi raised his eyebrows and asked.

Lu Qin remained silent.

Chu Junyi nodded, took a look at Gu Chengzhi, and shrugged his shoulders. He probably had to figure out the usefulness of this powder shop by himself. He didn't find the most important point, so Lu Qin would not say anything.

Gu Chengzhi smiled at him, taking it as comfort.

Chu Junyi thought for a while, and said, "Since you can't say it, then let's go on as usual."

Lu Qin was a little surprised. He thought that Chu Junyi would want to replace him, but when he thought that he was the son of the third master Chu, he took it for granted, "Yes."

Chu Junyi took out the token with the word "love" on it, and asked, "What's the point of this token?"

"The token." Lu Qin replied.

"What if someone else gets it?" Chu Junyi pointed.

Lu Qin's expression was extremely serious, "Please keep the token, Master Liu, and don't let it fall into the hands of others."

Chu Junyi nodded, the token was more important than he thought.

Lu Qin who wanted to know didn't say anything, Chu Junyi couldn't think of other things for the time being, so he just let Lu Qin go back first.

However, Chu Junyi still told Lu Qin that if he needed anything, just let Shopkeeper Liu take the lead.

Lu Qin looked at Chu Junyi again, then bowed and stepped back.

When there were only two people left in the room, Chu Junyi lay down directly on the table, "What do you mean by father?" He was almost confused with a hammer and a stick.

Gu Chengzhi picked up the person horizontally, walked to the reclining chair, and lay down with Chu Junyi in his arms.

"And this." Chu Junyi lay on Gu Chengzhi's body and held up the token, "It seems to be very useful."

"En." Gu Chengzhi held his hand and said softly, "Put it away."

Chu Junyi looked up at him.

Gu Chengzhi kissed Chu Junyi's forehead, "This is left to you by your father, don't lose it."

Chu Junyi relaxed his body and lay down on Gu Chengzhi's body again.

This "love" character token is placed in a box containing the identity documents related to love. Chu Junyi can recognize that the word "love" is written by the third master of Chu, and there is another card in the box with the handwriting of the third master Chu. A piece of paper with only four words on it: Huibin Restaurant.

In fact, Chu Junyi couldn't think of what would happen when he came here, but he knew one thing, the third master Chu didn't want people to know that the incense powder shop had something to do with him, otherwise he wouldn't have assumed a false identity as the boss.

The token will be shown in front of Shopkeeper Liu, also because Shopkeeper Liu is the confidant of Master Chu San. If he can trust him in Huibin Restaurant, then Shopkeeper Liu is the only one.

The fact is that he guessed right. Shopkeeper Liu brought the shopkeeper of the Xiangfen shop. Lu Qin's name and identity were written in an account book of the Xiangfen shop. He is not a servant of the Chu family. As the shopkeeper of the Xiangfen shop, Lu Qin can get [-]% of the net income of the incense powder store as annual salary.

Chu Junyi didn't know the specific purpose of the powder shop, nor did he know the details of Lu Qin, but he knew that Master Chu trusted Lu Qin very much.

That being the case, it is better to be familiar with it than to be a raw man. Instead of messing around without knowing why, it is better to let Lu Qin take care of it. Maybe one day in the future he will be able to discover the real intention of the third master Chu to leave these things.

"That shopkeeper Lu is good at martial arts." Gu Chengzhi patted his head and whispered in his ear.

"Lu Qin knows martial arts?!" Chu Junyi's ears were itchy because of him, and he heard his words just as he was about to push him away.

Gu Chengzhi said "En", and continued: "The foot is very stable, the steps are very light, and there are thick calluses on the hands, the martial arts should be good."

"You mean, father got a master to be his shopkeeper?!" Chu Junyi blinked, "And it's a shop selling rouge and gouache?!"

"En." Gu Chengzhi smiled helplessly.

"What do you think father wants?!" Chu Junyi muttered in a low voice.

"I don't know." Gu Chengzhi turned over and pressed Chu Junyi under him, bowed his head and kissed him.

When they saw the piece of paper that said "Huibin Restaurant", they both breathed a sigh of relief. The powder shop only sells things for women.They are two big men, without a mother and a wife. It must not be an ordinary embarrassment to enter a shop selling rouge and gouache.

It happened that the Huibin restaurant was just opposite the Xiangfen store, and they were lucky in the past.

After the kiss was over, Gu Chengzhi pinched Chu Junyi's nose, and said in a soft and gentle voice, "Shopkeeper Liu will tell other people about us."

"En." Chu Junyi's eyes were full of water, radiant and extraordinarily bright, "We are all married, so naturally I want to rectify your name." He said, but his eyes were bent into crescent moons.

Gu Chengzhi's heart was warm and swollen, looking at Chu Junyi's appearance, he felt that he was in love, so he lowered his head and kissed him again.

At the beginning of their marriage, the two of them were a bit unfamiliar with this marriage. Although they got along very peacefully, neither of them thought of living it for a long time.

Except for the subordinates in the courtyard, they did not pay much attention to the other party's subordinates.

After that, their relationship became ambiguous, and it was even more impossible to mention this matter again.

But now, Chu Junyi wants to rectify his name, and let those under him know that their masters are no longer one, but two.

How could Gu Chengzhi not be moved by this, the kiss ended when he was exhausted.

"When you are free, you can also meet my subordinates." Gu Chengzhi said softly.

"Okay." Chu Junyi smiled unconsciously, "Just to see what kind of people you raise."

He has seen all the attendants that Gu Chengzhi usually brings with him when he goes out, but there are no more.

"I have a group of people under my command, and my father also left some for me..." Gu Chengzhi's eyes dimmed a little, "If my father handed over the people to mother before leaving Beijing... mother should not die."

Chu Junyi hugged him quickly when he heard the words, wanting to comfort him but didn't know what to say.

Gu Chengzhi sighed, and lay down beside Chu Junyi.

The reclining chair is not too small, but it is still a little too much for two big men to lie on it. Chu Junyi stood up and leaned on Gu Chengzhi again, "If you want to rectify my name... will they have any objections?"

"What about Shopkeeper Liu and the others? Do you have any objections?" Gu Chengzhi pinched Chu Junyi's ear.

"They can't be more stubborn than me." Chu Junyi was a little proud, "Shopkeeper Liu has a sense of propriety."

"En." Gu Chengzhi said indifferently: "My subordinates dare not have any opinions."

Those under Chu Junyi's subordinates were all left behind by Master Chu San, while those under Gu Chengzhi's subordinates were all trained by him himself, but if there were any objections, they were directly dragged to the competition stage, and after a beating, there was no sound.

Chu Junyi glared at him, but laughed again.

"By the way, what do you want those rouge powders for?" Gu Chengzhi asked.
