Transmigrated into Substitute Bride 'Fu Lang'

Looking at Gu Lang's pretty face, Chen Xing almost nodded when he heard his soft voice in his ear.Fortunately, the moment he nodded, he suddenly seemed to think of something, and immediately stopped his tendency to nod.

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing who was about to agree to himself just now, but suddenly stopped at this moment, and asked with some confusion: "What's wrong?"

Chen Xing looked up at the man in front of him, and saw him looking at him with a pure face, his eyes were full of doubts, it seemed that he was really confused.

Gu Lang watched Chen Xing staring at him without speaking, the puzzled expression on his face deepened, which made his pretty face look more innocent, "Is there something wrong with the question I just asked?"

Seeing such an innocent Gu Lang, Chen Xing suddenly wondered if he was too sensitive, no matter how much Gu Lang liked to eat this Xuemei Niang, he couldn't sell his appearance to make him keep these foods.

Thinking of this, Chen Xing shook his head with a smile, then raised his head to look at the man staring at him in front of him, and said softly: "No, I will send the rest as a thank you gift to the helpers in the store and Mr. Liao. To thank them for helping us to testify in the Yamen."

When Gu Lang heard his words, a bit of disappointment could be seen on his face, and even when he turned his head to look at the remaining Xue Mei Niangs, there was still a bit of longing in his eyes.

Seeing that, Chen Xing began to feel guilty, wondering if he was too bad, since Gu Lang didn't even satisfy Gu Lang's request that he only wanted to eat a few Xuemei Niangs.

But Gu Lang turned his head at this time, looked at him again and said gently: "You are right, they helped us, we should thank them, I can wait for you to cook it next time .”

Gu Lang saw that Gu Lang was clearly reluctant to give up, but pretended to be willing, and wanted to tell Gu Lang that the remaining Xuemei Niang belonged to Gu Lang, and he could eat whatever he wanted.But rationality pulled him, and he finally held back and said, "Then I will do more next time, and I will save some for you."

"Yeah." Gu Lang responded with a smile, but sighed silently in his heart, it's useless for him to even pretend to be pitiful now, hey.Thinking that this dessert, which he hadn't eaten a few bites, would soon take advantage of those outsiders and his incompetent subordinates, he felt heartbroken for a while.

However, after Chen Xing finished eating Xue Mei Niang in his hand, with a little bit of guilt towards Gu Lang, he quickly packed the rest of Xue Mei Niang and asked Qiu Jiu to send it out to those people.

After finishing all this, Chen Xing looked at Gu Lang who seemed to be a bit melancholy, and began to think about what to give Gu Lang to eat in order to make him happy. He even forgot all about his original anger.

On the other side, Steward Zhou returned to the Chen family with the boy who was still a little bit tangled.

Standing in front of the tall door with carved beams and painted pillars, thinking of the master Chen who was about to face, Steward Zhou showed a hesitant look for the first time.

The servant next to Butler Zhou looked at him standing still, turned his head to look at him with a little puzzled expression on his face, and stood with him for almost a stick of incense before he finally couldn't help shouting "Butler Zhou, aren't you going in?"

Hearing the sound, Steward Zhou suddenly seemed to have recovered from his confusion, nodded to the boy who was staring at him, and walked in.

Bypassing the complicated front yard, Steward Zhou came to the study where Master Chen was. The maid who usually treated him respectfully looked at him with more probing and disdainful eyes.

The housekeeper, who noticed the maidservant's change, was startled, and his already serious face was a little more tense at this moment.

"Master, Housekeeper Zhou is here."

Before Steward Zhou was ready, the maid at the door communicated inside with a clear voice.

Immediately afterwards, a familiar deep male voice came from inside, "Come in!"

At the same time as he heard the sound, Butler Zhou's heart rose, and he hung high in the air.Although there were not many waves in his inner voice, he could hear the suppressed anger in it, and he knew that he was really finished this time.

Thinking that his hard work for so many years was about to be in vain, Steward Zhou seemed to have taken root under his feet, and he never dared to take a step forward.

But the maid, who was caring in the past, seemed to be unable to read her eyes at this time, and showed him a gesture of invitation with a blank face, and said softly with that female voice: "Please, housekeeper Zhou! The master has already It's waiting for you inside."

Butler Zhou nodded stiffly, and finally lifted his foot and walked in.

After Steward Zhou's figure disappeared behind the door, the door closed again, and the maid guarding the door looked up at the blue sky above her head, and sneered softly.This Chen Manor, it seems that a housekeeper will be changed soon.This person, still can't take himself too seriously, how can a slave go beyond his master and do so many things on his own initiative.

Butler Zhou who was staying inside didn't know what the little maid outside was doing to him. As soon as he entered the door, he met Master Chen's dark eyes. The man in front of him shouted, "Master."

Master Chen looked at Steward Zhou who was kneeling on the ground, raised his eyelids, and said with a bit of sarcasm in his tone: "So you still know me, Master?"

The sweat that had been hanging on Steward Zhou's forehead immediately came down. He looked at the man in front of him and hurriedly said: "Master, if you are speaking there, even if I don't know myself, I will recognize you as my master's." ! My heartfelt love to you can be learned from heaven and earth!"

Master Chen looked at Steward Zhou's tense face, and a bit of mockery suddenly appeared on his expressionless face. He sneered lightly, and didn't respond to his confession just now, but asked Feng An irrelevant question, "Old Zhou, how many years have you been in my house?"

Steward Zhou didn't know why he suddenly asked this question, but he still replied cautiously: "Thanks to the favor of the master, the younger one has been in the mansion for almost 25 years."

Master Chen looked at Steward Zhou and continued: "In the past 20 years, has the Chen family ever treated you badly?"

Hearing these words that seemed to be about to settle the account, Steward Zhou had a bad feeling in his heart, but he didn't dare not answer after all, so he bit the bullet and said: "Never. Not only did I not treat me badly, but also gave me It gave me a place to live, let me settle down and start a business, just like my reborn parents."

When Mr. Chen heard his words, he seemed to be hit by unknown anger suddenly, and suddenly threw an inkstone in the direction of Steward Zhou, and smashed it on his forehead, watching him hurry Looking embarrassed after dodging, he shouted loudly: "Since my Chen family treats you well, why do you repay your kindness like this?"

Butler Zhou's dodging just now was also a subconscious move. After he finished dodging and heard Master Chen's roar, he realized that something was wrong. He shouldn't have dodged for a while just now, and it would be better to let Master Chen have an outlet to vent his anger. ah!

This thought only flashed in Steward Zhou's mind for a moment. He looked at the dark-faced Master Chen, and he couldn't care less. : "Master, you have wronged me! I have never done anything against the Chen family!"

Master Chen sneered, looked at Steward Zhou who was still sophistrying in front of him, and simply stopped talking, and said directly: "Wrong? Is it a lie that you planted that small restaurant for your nephew? Or did you force the grocery store?" Is it a lie that the shopkeeper and you are in the same rank and ruined the reputation of my Chen family?"

Although Steward Zhou guessed that Mr. Chen already knew about this matter, he didn't expect him to know it so quickly and in such detail. Facing Mr. Chen's cross-examination, he couldn't find any excuses to quibble and knelt on the ground without saying a word. There.

However, Mr. Chen became more and more angry. He picked up the books at hand and threw them in the direction of Steward Zhou. Every time he smashed a book, he cursed, "I used to think that you are my old man, yes You should be more tolerant. I turned a blind eye to the things you did in the past. But you shouldn't, you shouldn't bet on the name of my Chen family. For your bastard nephew, you Do you know how serious the loss of my Chen family is this time? Do you know?"

Steward Zhou knelt on the ground and listened to Master Chen's growing roar, he didn't dare to speak back.He knew that Master Chen was in a fit of anger now, if he spoke back now, it would only make the situation completely out of control.

It's just that Steward Zhou's silence didn't earn Mr. Chen's understanding. He threw everything in his hand on Steward Zhou, stopped his movements, and sat on a chair panting like he was tired. gas.

After Master Chen's breath stabilized a bit, he looked at Butler Zhou, who hadn't said a word even after being smashed to the ground, and the anger that had been suppressed since the accident in the shop finally disappeared.He quickly calmed down, looked at Steward Zhou in front of him, and said in a cold tone: "Since you made such a mistake in order to vent your anger on your nephew, then my Chen family can't keep you now."

Steward Zhou, who hadn't responded all this time, suddenly raised his head after hearing what Master Chen said, and eagerly interrupted what he hadn't finished speaking, trying to defend himself, "Master, isn't it Yes, master, I am not for my nephew, I am for you, master!"

Master Chen, who had calmed down, was not as easy to fool as he was just now. He just raised his eyelids when he heard Steward Zhou's words, and looked at him with a sarcasm smile, "Butler Zhou, you are quite old and naive. Do you think you can fool me with these words? When you said these words yourself, weren't you guilty? "

Seeing what Master Chen said, Steward Zhou felt that if he didn't do anything, he would have to leave the Chen family.If he left the Chen family, not only would his business for so many years be ruined, but he would also end up with nothing.No, he can't leave here, he absolutely can't leave the Chen family!

Thinking of this, Steward Zhou looked at Master Chen who was staring at him expressionlessly, and said hoarsely: "Master, I didn't lie, I really didn't lie. I really did it for the sake of Master, so I did it so boldly." A lot of things. If it wasn't for the master, I wouldn't have done so much at all, and I hope the master will see clearly!"

When Steward Zhou said this, he was crying with snot and tears.If a young girl made such a gesture, then Master Chen felt that he could still feel sorry for him, but when this picture appeared on a man who was nearly forty years old, the picture was particularly eye-catching.

Master Chen frowned and looked at Steward Zhou's ugliness, but he didn't continue to open his mouth to call people from outside to come in. He just looked at him with more scrutiny and suspicion, and asked with some doubts: "You What did you just say?"

Steward Zhou's eyes lit up immediately when he heard Master Chen's words. He understood that if he wanted to stay in the Chen family, then this was his last chance, so he no longer concealed what he knew, and The corresponding plan was stated in its original form.

"Master, do you know who the owner of that small restaurant is?"

Mr. Chen listened to him tell the whole story, not to guess the riddles, so when he didn't answer the question, his face immediately became ugly, and he looked a little impatient and said: "Say something quickly, Let the fart go, don't waste my time."

Hearing the impatience in Mr. Chen's tone, Mr. Zhou stopped being impatient and said bluntly: "The owners of the small restaurant are Chen Xing and his husband."

When Mr. Chen heard the name, he felt a little familiar. He couldn't remember who it was for a while, so he could only frown and stare at Butler Zhou, waiting for him to finish the matter.

Butler Zhou has been serving Master Chen for so long, and he is used to observing words and expressions. Looking at Master Chen's expression now, he knew that he must not remember who Chen Xing was, so he immediately said: "Master, that Chen Xing originally It's your concubine, and his husband is Gu Lang, that shabby sick ghost who wants to eat swan meat!"

When Mr. Chen heard this, he immediately remembered that when the shabby house came to the house, the Chen family didn't want to return the betrothal gifts, so they sent a worthless bastard there.Unexpectedly, after such a period of time, he actually got his news again.

Soon, Master Chen remembered something again, and he asked directly, "Did they rent that shop? Did they have the money to rent that shop? Where did they get the money?" He lowered the price a little for convenience. The price, but the price is not cheap, he doesn't think his bastard can afford it.

Hearing Master Chen finally asked the crucial question, Steward Zhou's eyes lit up immediately, and at the same time looked at him and said excitedly: "Master, you don't know, so Chen Xing doesn't know how many people got there?" Dessert and wine recipes, just relying on the money from selling the desserts and wine, not only can they afford to rent the shop, but after a while, they might even be able to sell the shop!"

"Oh?" Master Chen, who was a little casual at first, immediately became interested after hearing what Butler Zhou said. "So worth it?"

Steward Zhou patted his thigh, and assured him with absolute certainty: "Of course, I dare to use my life to guarantee that the prescription is definitely worth money."

Master Chen looked at Steward Zhou's excited look, but there was still some suspicion in his eyes.

Steward Zhou rolled his eyes when he saw this, and quickly added, "Master, have you ever heard of the dessert called jelly, and the fruit wine that has become popular in the whole town recently?"

Mr. Chen naturally knew what Steward Zhou was talking about. The jelly appeared for some reason. It was not only exquisite in shape and expensive, but also very popular with ladies and wives. Even Mrs. Chen bought a lot of them.

Of course, Master Chen also tasted it, but after trying it, he still felt that the taste was not as good as the fruit wine that pleased him.It's just that no matter how much he likes it, the price of that thing is still a bit expensive compared to him.It is really a great regret for him that he cannot drink it from time to time.

There was a moment of regret in his mind, and soon Master Chen came back to his senses, suddenly seemed to think of something, and suddenly looked at Butler Zhou on the ground with an unbelievable expression, "Could it be?"

Steward Zhou saw that Mr. Chen had already guessed it, and he didn't hide it anymore. He nodded sharply, and continued, "Master, those few things came from that small restaurant."

Master Chen's heart was shocked. As a businessman, the first thing he thought of was not why Chen Xing had those formulas, but how much profit those formulas could bring.After thinking of those prices, Master Chen's heart was greatly moved, and he vaguely had some ideas.

Seeing the thoughtful look on Master Chen's face, Steward Zhou, who knew his temperament well, immediately got excited, and immediately said, "Master, that's why I let my nephew do what he wants."

Mr. Chen, who was obsessed with how much money Chen Xing could make with those things, and how much benefit he could gain, suddenly came to his senses when he heard what Steward Zhou said. He stared straight at him, waiting for his next words .

"Master, when I learned that my nephew wanted to frame him, I thought of his prescription. I thought that if I could bring down that small restaurant, then they would have nowhere to go. Anyway, Master is also his father. At that time, the old man will come forward, take it back from him, or buy back those few prescriptions, and then let the old man organize manpower to process it, and it will definitely bring huge wealth to the Chen family by then!"

When Master Chen heard what Steward Zhou said, his eyes flickered, and there was a little throbbing in the depths of his eyes, obviously agreeing with Steward Zhou's statement.

It's just that when Master Chen saw Steward Zhou's flattering expression, he seemed to think of something suddenly, his face immediately turned cold again, and he looked at him and said, "Do you think I won't hold you accountable if you say that? ?”

Originally watching Master Chen move, thinking that he would agree to his request, and would use this to let Steward Zhou off, but the moment he heard Master Chen speak, the expression on his face froze.

Master Chen didn't go around in circles anymore, and said directly: "You sound good now, what you thought at the beginning must be to take that recipe for yourself after the small restaurant is brought down, and we will still think of our Chen family."

Seeing his own thoughts being pointed out bluntly by Mr. Chen, Steward Zhou showed a somewhat terrified look on his face. Seeing him, he quickly expressed his loyalty and said: "Master, I don't, I really think about the Chen family. Yes!"

Master Chen looked at him and snorted coldly, and stopped arguing with him, called the boy at the door to come in, and said to Steward Zhou on the ground: "I think you have been sincere to our Chen family all these years. For the sake of it, I won't kill you this time."

The anxiety on Zhou Butler's face receded, and immediately turned into an expression of ecstasy.

But before Steward Zhou showed gratitude, he heard Master Chen continue: "Go to Qianxi Village and help my Chen family guard it!"

Qianxi Village is a place with only a dozen families. The Chen family's old house is there. Although someone goes back to clean it every year, it has generally declined.

If he was suppressed into a small steward, Steward Zhou felt that he would be able to come back if he struggled for a while, but now that he was sent there, he was afraid that he would never come back for the rest of his life.

Thinking that he was about to be far away from his current affluent life, Guanshi Zhou screamed out, and begged Master Chen for mercy: "Master, no, I know I was wrong. Let me stay with Master to make up for my mistakes, don't let me go so far place!"

Master Chen just looked at him fixedly, and said coldly: "You know, I have been kind enough to you."

Seeing Mr. Chen's gloomy eyes, Steward Zhou was shocked. He knew that there was no way to recover, so he was defeated immediately and stopped shouting.

When Steward Zhou was led out, Master Chen sat back in his seat, staring at the emerald curtain not far away, thinking of what Steward Zhou said just now, it was a lie to say that Chen Xing's prescription was not envious, after all Anyone with a discerning eye knows the huge benefits of that.

Moreover, the business of their Chen family these years is not as glamorous as it looks on the surface. It is difficult to maintain the original level. If they want to go further, it will be very difficult.

Thinking of Chen Xing's cowardly bastard and Gu Lang's useless sick scholar, Mr. Chen's eyes shone like a falcon. Now he suddenly felt that it would be okay if he carried out the plan that Steward Zhou said, but he did it. It's more thoughtful than Butler Zhou.

Thinking of this, Master Chen showed excitement on his face, and immediately called his servants to call the deputy housekeeper, because he had something to do.

But while waiting for the assistant housekeeper to come over, Mrs. Chen stepped into his study first.

As soon as Mrs. Chen entered the study, she saw the maid who was cleaning up the mess on the floor, and Mr. Chen who was sitting above thinking about something. When she got in touch with what happened to Butler Zhou just now, she roughly guessed what happened there just now.

Mrs. Chen didn't ask anything, ignored the mess around her, and walked towards Master Chen with a tray in her hand, "Master, I made chicken soup for you, try it to see if it suits you." taste."

Looking at the charming lady in front of him, and smelling the smell of chicken soup in the air, Master Chen's nervous expression just now could not help but relax a little, looking at her, he said softly: "Madam's stewed soup, is that not suitable for me?" Appetite reason."

While talking, Mr. Chen took the chicken soup from Mrs. Chen, lifted the lid and drank it.

Mrs. Chen looked at Master Chen drinking with relish, and the smile on her face deepened. When Master Chen was almost finished drinking, she handed over a handkerchief at the right time, and while he was wiping his mouth, she said softly: " Master, these few days I see that Linger and the second young master of the Zhao family are not getting along very well, do you think we should change the candidate for marriage?"

Master Chen's originally cheerful face collapsed immediately, and he looked at Mrs. Chen next to him with some dissatisfaction and said, "How can Ling'er be so willful? There is a more suitable candidate than the second son of the Zhao family inside and outside the entire county." , not only has a pure character, but is also the son of the family, although he cannot inherit the family business, he can still have a lot of property."

Mrs. Chen was listening to Master Chen's praise of Zhao Er Shao, and she couldn't help but think of her daughter's cry, saying that Zhao Jia Er Shao was not only stupid as a pig, but also couldn't understand other people's sarcasm, and was even fatter. Can top her four.If she wants to marry this man, she might as well die.

"If she is not the daughter of my Chen family, how can she have the right to approach that young master of the Zhao family? Now it is not a matter of whether she dislikes the young master of the Zhao family, but a question of whether the young master of the Zhao family dislikes her!

As her mother, you need to take good care of her.Marriage cannot be controlled by her temperament, if she can't control her temperament, go to please Zhao's young master, and successfully join Zhao's family, this daughter is unnecessary. "

Mrs. Chen's words pulled Mrs. Chen back all of a sudden. Seeing Mr. Chen's expressionless expression, she lowered her eyes lightly and replied lightly, "Yes, master, I know Yes. I will definitely teach Ling'er well so that she does not have to do whatever she wants. If she succeeds in winning Zhao Ershao's favor, successfully marrying into Zhao's family, she will contribute to my Chen family's career."

Hearing Mrs. Chen's sensible answer, Master Chen nodded in satisfaction, and the expression on his face became relieved again.

Steward Zhou was sent back by two servants of the Chen family.

As soon as he entered the door, Steward Zhou's distressed appearance scared the sister-in-law Zhou who was waiting in the yard. She rushed forward when she heard her scream, and hurriedly said, "Old Zhou, what's wrong with you? It's been ruined like this, who dares to treat you like this, you speak out, let's go get justice together!"

Hearing Mrs. Zhou's piercing voice, Steward Zhou's face showed a bit of embarrassment, and he really couldn't tell what he did.

Instead, the boy who sent him here looked at the yelling woman, and said directly: "The master said, let Guanshi Zhou set off for Qianxi Village within two days, and we will come back to see Guanshi Zhou off. I also hope that Manager Zhou will not forget the time and delay the journey."

Hearing this name, Sister-in-Law Zhou was stunned for a moment, then looked at the young man next to her and said in a daze, "Qianxi Village, what Qianxi Village, we have stayed here well, why are we going to Qianxi Village?"

But the servant didn't answer her again, but turned to look at Steward Zhou next to him, and said politely: "You guys will come back in a few days, and I hope Steward Zhou will prepare your luggage early!"

After finishing speaking, the two young servants left straight away, completely ignoring the messy steward Zhou in the room, and Mrs. Zhou who was next to him who didn't know why.

Sister-in-law Zhou stared at the back of them leaving, then looked at the husband next to her, and finally couldn't help asking: "Boss, what do they mean?"

Steward Zhou looked at the woman in front of him and moved his lips. After all, he didn't lie to her and told all the ins and outs.

Sister-in-law Zhou understood everything, understood the twists and turns, and immediately started crying, "Damn it, we finally ended up in this city, now let's go to that shitless place!" Isn’t it intentional to harm us? How can we go there, I don’t want to go there!”

Steward Zhou listened to the crying of the woman next to him, why did he go there alone? Not only would he have no hope for the rest of his life if he went there, he might even live a miserable life.But if he didn't go, he wasn't sure how he would deal with himself after he caused so much trouble for Mr. Chen.

Amid the sound of the woman crying, the reluctant husband and wife went to that wild place under the 'escort' of the servant who came, and started the task of helping the Chen family guard the old house.

When Aunt Zhou woke up, she found that she had returned to her home.Thinking of her son who was still in prison, she immediately climbed up to find someone, but only halfway through, she fell on the bed again top-heavy.

With the sound of "creak", a woman got up with a bowl of porridge with white gas floating in it. When she saw the woman who was half lying on the bed and was panting heavily, the corner of her mouth curled into a sneer.

Perhaps it was the woman who alarmed Aunt Zhou on the bed. She raised her head and looked in the direction of the woman. When she saw the woman's face again, she immediately yelled loudly, "You, you go, go find uncle, look See if he can get my son out."

"Mother." The woman turned a deaf ear to her words, and sat down slowly beside her bed, "Don't worry, I'm afraid you won't see your uncle now."

Aunt Zhou had a surprised look on her face, she looked at her and asked strangely: "What do you mean?"

The woman hooked the corners of her lips, and her coldness increased a little, "Uncle was angered by the Chen family because of her husband, and now he has gone to Qianxi Village."

"Then, what about my son?" Aunt Zhou obviously didn't expect that her biggest backer would be gone, so she panicked all of a sudden.

"Of course I wait for him to come out by himself." The woman's tone was a little light, as if she didn't care much about when the man would come back.

Her understated tone immediately angered Aunt Zhou on the bed. Aunt Zhou knocked over the porridge in her hand with a wave of her hand, pointed to her nose and said, "What kind of tone are you talking about? Don't you want me to Is your son back?"

The woman just glanced at the white porridge on the ground, and then at her mother-in-law who was distraught on the bed but couldn't bully her like before. She didn't know why she suddenly felt a bit revengeful. She looked at her and said, "Of course I will I thought about it, I thought that if he came back, his health would be bad too. I will take good care of him so that he can never think of marrying again. "

"You, you poisonous woman!?" Mrs. Zhou didn't expect a woman to have such thoughts, and she seemed to be irritated at this moment, and she raised her hand and wanted to wave at her.Who knew that the woman stood up all of a sudden, out of the range of beating people, so that she could never touch her again.

The woman looked at the woman who was struggling to hit her, but was furious because she couldn't touch her anyway, and suddenly couldn't figure out why she had lived like that before.

Thinking of the man who came to teach her that day, her eyes flickered, and she suddenly felt that what the man said was right, and maybe she could live a better life according to what he said.

The woman figured out those things, looked at Aunt Zhou's eyes a little colder, and said lightly: "Mother, now that my uncle is away and my husband is away, the whole family depends on me for life. You knocked over this bowl of porridge, and I don't care." I can get you a second bowl. So, I'm sorry, mother, you must be hungry today."

After finishing speaking, the woman ignored Mrs. Zhou's cursing, turned around and left the dark room.
