Transmigrated into Substitute Bride 'Fu Lang'

Master Chen looked at Guanshi Feng with a face full of astonishment. He didn't understand where the Chen family had provoked Mrs. Zhao. He was talking and laughing with his wife some time ago, and it didn't seem like there was any conflict.

Steward Feng looked at Master Chen's bewildered expression, and for the sake of the money he gave just now, he added, "Although I don't know exactly what happened, it seems to be related to your Fourth Miss. Madame lost her temper a lot because of this."

Master Chen's heart skipped a beat. He vaguely wanted to understand something. If it was really because of that incident, then the Zhao family's behavior is not surprising.

Master Chen didn't say anything more, he looked up at Guanshi Feng in front of him, and asked him to try his best to say a few words to Master Zhao, and then he left in a hurry.If it was as he guessed, he felt that the Chen family must have completely offended the Zhao family this time, and he had to go back and think of a way.

Steward Feng looked at the back of Mr. Chen leaving in a hurry, threw away the heavy purse in his hand, raised his eyebrows lightly, and jokingly said: "Mr. Chen is willing to spend money, but it's a pity, I don't know How did you raise your daughter?"

The first thing Mr. Chen did when he returned home was not to go to his study, but to Mrs. Chen's inner courtyard.

As soon as Master Chen entered the door, Mrs. Chen, who was sitting there checking the account book, immediately noticed his arrival, immediately put the account book beside her, stood up and greeted him, seeing that his expression was not very good, she said softly: " Master, what's the matter with you?"

Master Chen raised his eyes to look at her, the coldness in his eyes made people flustered, and he asked in a deep voice: "Have you seen Mrs. Zhao during this time?"

Mrs. Chen didn't know why he asked this suddenly. Following his words, Mrs. Chen tried hard to recall, and suddenly thought of something, and her heart began to beat a little. She raised her eyes to look at Mr. Chen, and said in a slightly unstable tone: " During this period of time, I really haven't contacted Mrs. Zhao again."

Mr. Chen slapped his thigh and felt that he had found the reason for the Zhao family's sudden change of mind. He said in a panic, "It's true, it must be that the Zhao family got the news of Chen Linger's disfigurement from somewhere, and now they are resting with us. family marriage, and ruined the cooperation with us."

Mrs. Chen naturally knows about the cooperation. After all, if it succeeds, the influence of their Chen family in this area will increase, their stores will also expand accordingly, and she, Mrs. Chen, will have even more weight.Suddenly hearing the news that the Zhao family would not cooperate with them, Mrs. Chen immediately became anxious. She looked at Master Chen and said, "Master, what should we do? Then the Zhao family can't be so stingy, right? They've already discussed things already." , how can you change your mind temporarily?"

Master Chen became angry when he heard this, looked at Mrs. Chen and said, "Impossible, it's impossible there, do you know how many people are watching this errand? If it weren't for the second son of the Zhao family who likes Ling'er and wants to be with Ling'er, My family is in-laws, how could they give this to us! Now that we can’t get married, naturally it’s useless to say more.”

Mrs. Chen listened to Master Chen's words, and her pity for her daughter's disfigurement gradually became two more complaints. She asked nervously: "Is there no way to restore it?"

Hearing her question, Master Chen's eyes lit up immediately, and then he seemed to think of something, his eyes showed a bit of sternness, he raised his eyes and stared at Mrs. Chen fiercely, and said viciously: "In this way, we will Ling'er gave it to the second son of Zhao as a noble concubine, so that even if the Zhao family is not satisfied, it can help us for the sake of our knowledge."

"But, but, Ling'er is our daughter-in-law, how can she be someone else's concubine?" Although Mrs. Chen was a little annoyed at Chen Ling'er, she still didn't agree with Master Chen's words.

Although a noble concubine can be regarded as a regular wife, she is still much worse than that regular wife.Originally, Chen Ling'er was unwilling to marry the second son of the Zhao family, but now she is asked to be some kind of noble concubine, how could she be willing to do it! ?

Master Chen also just sneered, and said coldly: "Now that she is disfigured, it is the same thing whether the second young master of the Zhao family wants her or not. She has nothing to choose. Could it be possible to keep her In the mansion, we will support her for the rest of her life."

Mrs. Chen really wanted to say that such a proposal was okay, but when she raised her eyes to meet Master Chen's gaze, she knew that those were all her own wishful thinking, and Master Chen would not agree.

Master Chen looked at the silent Mrs. Chen, knew that she understood what he said, and continued: "Don't say anything for a while, and send her there after I make arrangements, so as not to cause any trouble. "

"Yes." Mrs. Chen answered with her head lowered, she had already compromised with Master Chen's arrangement.

In a hidden corner outside the window, the person who was standing there was holding the handkerchief in his hand fiercely, and looked at the two people in the room with hatred on his face.

The person watched there for a long time, until there was no more voice in the room, she walked out from the corner and walked towards her own yard.

The man walked back to her room, and after she sat for a while, a servant girl knocked on the door tremblingly and came in, and said to her, "Miss, I have already found out what you asked me to inquire about."

"Say."

It was just this simple word that made the maid who came back tremble, and then said cautiously: "Miss, that restaurant got a big wild boar from somewhere, and used that wild boar as a gimmick to make one." Whole Pig Feast, now his family's reputation is even bigger, and the business is getting better and better."

"Trash!" Accompanied by a roar, a porcelain cup slammed over and hit the servant girl's forehead, followed by a crackling sound, "They're all a bunch of trash, they've already done this! To such an extent, it actually brought them back to life!"

For a moment, only Chen Linger's frantic voice remained in the room.

Ever since her young lady woke up and found herself disfigured, this kind of situation would happen from time to time, and the maids were used to it.The little maids standing next to her were quiet, for fear that making any noise would offend their young lady and cause disaster.The maid who went out with the young lady that day was shaved and kicked out by the young lady after the young lady woke up.

Chen Ling'er smashed the room like crazy for a while, and finally she couldn't move anymore, she sat panting in the mess, only her eyes were exposed on her face half covered by the gauze, which was full of hate.

Chen Ling'er was very unwilling, how could she be reconciled, she was harmed like this by them, but those people had nothing to do, not only that, but also getting better and better.And she herself, because of her disfigured appearance, this home is no longer her home, and her father will give it away as a bargaining chip for business.

Thinking of this, Chen Linger's eyes gradually showed a bit of sternness, she is not feeling well, and she will not let others feel better.She turned her head suddenly, looked at the little maid who was still standing there and dared not go down, and said fiercely: "You help me prepare something, be careful. If someone else knows, be careful of your tongue."

The little servant girl looked at the ferocious young lady, quickly covered her mouth, and nodded desperately, promising that she would not say anything.

In the middle of the night, the night market had just closed, and there were still pedestrians returning home in twos and threes on the street. Two slender figures came to the back door of Chen's small restaurant sneakily.

"Miss, this?" One of the female voices whispered to the person beside her, her eyes full of fear.

The person she called Miss looked at her like this, slapped her unceremoniously, lowered her voice and said viciously: "Do as I said, didn't you say that your skills at home are the best? If If you can't get in, I'll sell you when I go back."

That person was stared at by Chen Linger's sinister eyes, and immediately he didn't dare to say anything more, he could only nod his head desperately, promising that he would do what she said.

Chen Linger looked at her, nodded in satisfaction, then opened the simple wooden ladder she brought, and ordered to the person: "Hurry up, step on this and climb in."

The man did as she said, but due to height restrictions, he was still a little short.

Chen Linger looked at her, gritted her teeth, let her stand firmly on the spot, and then stepped on it, first threw the things in her hand, then stepped on the person's shoulders tremblingly and climbed up the wall. When I went up, I kicked hard, and the person who was using it as a step ladder fell to the ground all at once.

Chen Linger sat on the wall and looked at the person lying on the ground, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Trash! You can't do this well."

After finishing speaking, Chen Ling'er hung one end of the string in her hand on the corner of the wall, and pulled the other end to follow the corner down.

It took a long time for the person lying on the ground to get up, rubbing his sore body, staring at the direction Chen Linger left, his eyes full of anxiety.

In less than a quarter of an hour, a little bit of fire gradually appeared inside.

The people outside the door anxiously looked at the situation inside, not knowing what to do next, the back door was suddenly opened from the inside, and the person who came out still had scorched veils and cuffs.

"Miss, you." The man was stunned. Although he had expected it, he was still shocked when he saw it with his own eyes.

Chen Ling'er was flustered. Although it wasn't the first time she did this kind of thing, she didn't do it as big as last time.Seeing that the maid he brought was so flustered, he immediately scolded in a low voice, "Shut up and go."

The servant girl quickly shut her mouth tightly, not daring to say another word.

Chen Ling'er took the things in her hand, and walked towards the small river not far away with the little maid.When she got to the river, she threw the things in her hand towards the center of the river.

After tidying herself up like the rich lady in the past, she took the maid back, and on the way back, she scolded in a low voice: "You didn't see anything today, and you didn't do anything. If you dare to reveal half a word, I will sell you by pulling out your tongue."

Hearing her lady's threats, the servant girl nodded repeatedly, assuring that she didn't see anything or do anything today.

Just as the master and servant were walking back towards Chen's house, a few rascals walked up to them.

They looked at Chen Linger's outfit and that slender figure, and they immediately moved their minds. Although they could see it or not eat it, it would be good to tease them with words, so one of them stepped forward, wanting to pull Chen Linger, "Miss, it's a long night, it's not safe for you to walk alone at night, I'll take you back!"

Chen Ling'er felt that they could smell the smell of alcohol from a long distance away, so she swung her sleeves vigorously, trying to break free from his hand holding her, "Let go, be careful, I'll ask someone to arrest you."

"Yo, miss is still a temper." Hearing Chen Ling'er's voice, the little hooligan became more and more excited. Looking at the veil on her face, he became even more interested, and said bluntly: "Miss, the face under the veil It must be extremely beautiful, let us have a look."

Hearing his words, Chen Ling'er panicked all of a sudden, and hurriedly grabbed her veil, for fear that he would tear it off.

But that hooligan would listen to her, stretched out his hand and pulled her veil, and then froze in place, unconsciously loosening his grip on her.I saw that the face under the veil was injured for some unknown reason, it was covered with fine marks, under the flickering candlelight, it looked a little more terrifying.

Seeing that this villain was frightened by her own face, Chen Ling'er was filled with grief and indignation. She gave him a hard look, pulled out her hand, and quickly ran towards the Chen family.Seeing this, the little maid behind her immediately followed.

It wasn't until Chen Linger and the others ran far away that the gangster who stopped them just said with lingering fear: "My dear, how did that girl's face hurt like this just now?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his brother's voice came, "I don't know, it's just a woman! Isn't it the same when the lights are turned off?" After speaking, he laughed ambiguously, revealing a mutual understanding Eyes, the other people around him also booed together.

Only then did the little rascal come back to his senses, and started a wild joke with his brothers.

Just when a few people were chatting and laughing and wanted to rush to the next wine bureau, they suddenly heard shouts from not far away, "It's flooded, it's flooded, come quickly! Come and put out the fire!" "

They looked up following the sound, and saw that less than a hundred meters away, there was a raging fire in the backyard of a shop.

"Isn't that the Chen family's small restaurant? I remember that the food there was delicious, why did it go out of the water all of a sudden." One of them asked in surprise, only to get a few people around him shaking their heads in unison.

Chen Xing was lying on the bed at this time, rolling in the soft quilt, then staring at the bed curtain and carefully calculating, thinking about what their restaurant would do to sell in a few days.

After their wild boar was sold out, they immediately started to eat the medicinal food made of venison, which was well received by everyone, especially those who were not short of money. They bought a few cups every day. The rest of the venison wouldn't last long either.

But what made Chen Xing most happy was that he didn't know whether his food tonic had curative effect, or Gu Lang walked around a lot now, which made his body much better.Even now that the weather is more erratic, Gu Lang doesn't cough or get sick like before.

Chen Xing felt that this food supplement was really effective, and he couldn't stop in the future.It's just that he feels that while making up for it, he should also pay attention to monitoring Gu Lang's movements, so that he can get twice the result with half the effort.

After calculating these, Chen Xing hugged the quilt and was ready to meet Zhou Gong. When he woke up, he had to start another busy day.

But the second Chen Xing closed his eyes, someone knocked on his door from outside, followed by Qiu Jiu's flustered voice, "Boss, there is water in the shop."

Chen Xing's brain, which had not completely stopped working, was blinded for a moment, then he opened his eyes suddenly, jumped up from the bed immediately, put on his coat, and hurried to the door, opened the door, and looked outside The visitor asked anxiously, "What happened?"

"The store is flooded." Qiu Jiu repeated what he had just said.

Chen Xing was startled, and hurriedly said, "Let's go over and have a look."

Said, Chen Xing quickly put on the clothes on his body, and was about to leave in a hurry. After taking two steps, he turned around and said to Qiu Jiu, "We can just go there. Stop calling him."

Qiu Jiu hesitated for a moment, then looked at Chen Xing's firm eyes, and nodded obediently.

After the two left in a hurry, another room not far from Chen Xing's room was opened from the inside, and then a slender figure walked out slowly.

The visitor was wearing a coat and standing at the threshold, his handsome face looked a little unreal under the moonlight, and he looked deserted and not like a real person.After a while, he turned towards the dark space and said, "What happened?"

A man in black quietly came to Gu Lang's side at some unknown time, and softly reported to him: "The Chen's small restaurant is on fire."

Gu Lang's eyes narrowed slightly, and Chen Xing's busy appearance in the restaurant appeared in front of his eyes. He knew what this small restaurant meant to Chen Xing. It was also a little bit colder, and said lightly: "Go and find out, who did it."

"Yes."

After the man left as quietly as when he came, Gu Lang stared at the direction of the courtyard door for a while, then turned and went back to the room.

After a stick of incense, Gu Lang had already changed into a black long gown with a cloak in his hand. After putting it on the door of his room, he walked slowly towards the direction where Chen Xing and the others left.

When Chen Xing followed Qiu Jiu to his restaurant, the fire had already been extinguished.

The official in charge of the curfew, who was also the patrol captain who discovered the fire this time, asked people to come to help, looked at Chen Xing who hurried over with an anxious expression, and comforted him: "Don't worry, because it was discovered in time and the fire is not big. There are a lot of us, and the fire has been extinguished."

When Chen Xing heard what he said, he immediately let go of his heart, and said sincerely to him, "Thank you."

Later, from the corner of Chen Xing's eyes, he saw the officers and soldiers who were in a bit of a panic because they were helping to put out the fire not far away. As if they had thought of something, they quickly fished out their sleeves, and finally took out a delicate purse. I poured out a tael of silver and handed it to the official, and smiled at him, "It's the middle of the night, thank you all the officials. Please accept this small amount of money, and treat the other officials to drink some hot wine."

The squad leader of the patrol was originally because of the order from above, so he took more care of this small shop.Now seeing that the little boss is so knowledgeable, I feel a little more at ease.

He smiled at the little boss in front of him, and continued: "Since the little boss is so caring, then I will thank you on behalf of the brothers. We still have tasks in hand so we won't stay any longer, and the little boss will also go and see what's inside. Nothing to lose."

"Thank you."

Watching the team leader leave with his team members, Chen Xingcai looked at the somewhat embarrassing shop in front of him, sighed deeply, and walked inside with some psychological preparation.

After Chen Xing turned around the entire restaurant, he finally let it go with his last breath.Most of the fire was in the kitchen at the back. Most of the things in it were no longer usable, and they would need to be replaced tomorrow. Fortunately, the important ingredients stored there were all stored in large tanks, so there was not much loss.

After Chen Xing walked around for a few more times, he was sure that he only needed to change the kitchen and the small warehouse next to the kitchen, and there was no need to get anything else, so he sat down on his buttocks and let out a long breath .

"How could this be on fire?" Chen Xing stared at the mess in the yard, and asked a little puzzled, "I obviously check the fire inside every time I leave, and make sure it's extinguished before I leave of."

Because Chen Xing knew that most of the ancient buildings were made of wood, he was extra careful in using fire. When he was still decorating, he specially selected some stones to build the kitchen, and even put a lot of water tanks, the purpose is to Effectively isolate the fire source.

Qiu Jiu stood by and scratched his head, not knowing how to answer.In the end, he still hesitated and said, "Little boss, could it be artificial?"

Chen Xing raised his head suddenly, and looked straight at Qiu Jiu. He felt that Qiu Jiu seemed to be right. The fire was strange. After all, he turned off the fire every day before leaving. There could be no flames in this store.

And this time, if officers and soldiers from the inspection team did not happen to pass by, their restaurant would have been completely burned down.It's just that even if it was artificial, Chen Xing felt that they should pay attention to the evidence. Only when they got the evidence could they say it was the truth.

Just as Chen Xing was frowning and thinking about how to find evidence, another figure walked outside the door. He looked up and saw Gu Lang coming over at some point, holding a lantern and watching Own.

The moment he saw himself, Chen Xing clearly felt Gu Lang smile, and then he saw Gu Lang slowly walking over, then shook off the cloak he was holding, and then put it on him .

"It's cold at night, why don't you wear some clothes before going out?"

Hearing what Gu Lang said, Chen Xing felt a little bad. After he sneezed, he looked at the man in front of him, and asked in confusion, "Why are you here?"

Gu Lang looked around, looked at the traces of the fire, frowned slightly, lowered his head to meet Chen Xing's confused eyes, and replied slowly: "I heard noises outside, I woke up and looked for it. I couldn't find you, and I couldn't find Qiu Jiu. After thinking about it for a while, I thought that you should have come here, so I came here. Fortunately, my guess was correct, and you are indeed here."
