Qiu Jiu looked at her young master's uneasy expression, wisely, she didn't say anything, and quietly retreated, while still silently remembering that his young master didn't seem to like the matter of Miss Chen's very much.

But after Qiu Jiu left, Gu Lang frowned in disgust when he thought of the woman who was staring at him all the time, which made him want to speed up the pace of bringing down the Chen family.

No, he has to wait a little longer, he has to pay back what he suffered twice, and cut his flesh with a blunt knife, so that he can be worthy of those who have harmed their Chen family and made trouble.

Just when Gu Lang tried his best to restrain his irrationality, he suddenly smelled a familiar smell, and then his brows that were originally tightly furrowed gradually loosened. There was even a smile on his face.

Chen Xing put the medicinal food in his hand in front of Gu Lang, raised his eyes to look at his face, and then asked with some uncertainty: "Gu Lang, did someone make you unhappy just now?"

Gu Lang was originally focused on the things Chen Xing brought, but now he was stunned when he heard his words, then shook his head with a smile, and asked curiously: "What's the matter? I didn't. "

Chen Xing looked at Gu Lang's face, tilted his head, saw him staring at him with a smile on his face, he couldn't see any unhappy expression, he just thought he was wrong, he thought for a while and said : "If the guests are difficult, you can rest at home. There are Qiu Jiu and the others here, and there are so many helpers. We can handle it."

When Gu Lang wanted to come over to help at the beginning, Chen Xing did not agree, but later Gu Lang brought out his poor health and needed to move around more, so he reluctantly agreed, and even picked a light counter work for him.

But even so, Chen Xing was still worried that Gu Lang's body would not be able to bear it, so he thought about some supplements for Gu Lang to eat from time to time, hoping that he would feel better after eating, and this bowl of soup was just like this.

"Hey, little boss, what are you guys? It tastes so good. I want to order one too." A customer who came to check out looked straight at the stewed soup on the counter, his eyes were full of The craving for a bite.

Chen Xing was a little embarrassed by his earnest eyes, and quietly took down the stew, and put it under the cabinet where the guests could not see it.

The customer couldn't help but laugh when he saw Chen Xing's way of concealing it. He is a regular customer in the store, so he didn't have much scruples about speaking to Chen Xing, so he just laughed, "Little boss, even if you don't give it to me, It’s also good for me to smell it, isn’t it too stingy to do so.”

Chen Xing was so flustered by what the guest said, that he blushed all of a sudden, looking extraordinarily cute.

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's appearance, then at the ignorant and staring guest in front of him, he stood in front of him calmly, and said coldly: "Sorry, that's for me, not to the public. sell."

The guest was shocked by Gu Lang's words, raised his eyes to meet Gu Lang's indifferent expression, was shocked, and smiled embarrassingly, "I don't have to eat it, but it smells too good."

At this time, Chen Xing also felt that his evasive posture was not very good. He stuck out his head from Gu Lang's back, looked at the guest and said, "Sorry, that was specially made for him. I'm afraid it's not very good for others to eat it." suitable."

The guest saw Chen Xing's sudden appearance, and burst out laughing, "You two have such a good relationship!"

After finishing speaking, the guest looked up at the man in front of him who was staring at him expressionlessly, and said earnestly: "The little boss is so nice, you have to treat the little boss well!"

The guest felt a little embarrassed after speaking. He looked at the man in front of him embarrassingly, thinking that he would not get any answer. Who knew that after he finished speaking, he nodded solemnly towards himself, lightly He responded softly, "Yeah."

The guest and the red-faced Chen Xing looked at Gu Lang at the same time, and saw Gu Lang nodded solemnly at them again under their eyes, and said solemnly: "I will."

"Huh." Chen Xing didn't expect Gu Lang to answer like this. He thought that according to Gu Lang's character, he would not pay attention to such a boring question, but he didn't expect that he not only answered, but also answered so solemnly.

Gu Lang seemed to have sensed the confusion in Chen Xing's heart. He lowered his eyebrows and met Chen Xing's suspicious eyes. He reached out and rubbed Chen Xing's head, and said softly, "You are so kind to me, I agree with you." It should be good for you too."

Chen Xing's face turned red all of a sudden, why did he feel that the current Gu Lang said these words too casually.

The guest next to him looked at each other while they were talking, completely ignoring his appearance, shook his head involuntarily, and sighed: "It's nice to be young!" It reminded him of when he and his old lady were young. .By the way, he will bring some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes to his old lady on the way home later, otherwise she will be nagging again.

The guests left quietly, but what Chen Linger and the others saw when they came out was this scene. The handsome man lowered his head and smiled and stared at his brother who was a head shorter than him. Against the background, the freeze frame became a beautiful picture.

Chen Ling'er looked at this scene, saw the gentle smile on the man who had never looked at her directly when he stared at Chen Xing, and slowly clenched his fists.

Miss Zhou who walked to Chen Linger noticed something was wrong with her, turned her head to see her staring straight ahead, followed her line of sight, she also saw that scene, and immediately understood what was going on, The smile on his face deepened a bit.

Miss Zhou took Chen Linger's arm, and said to her warmly, "Linger, let's go, we should go back."

When Chen Linger was called out by her, she seemed to come back to her senses suddenly. She quickly withdrew her gaze, and looked at the sisters who came with her in a panic. A sigh of relief.

"Hello, we need to pay the bill." As the host this time, even if she came out to eat, it was still Ms. Zhou who paid.She was not stingy either, she came to the front desk openly and stated her request directly.

Their arrival interrupted the ambiguous atmosphere between Chen Xing and Gu Lang. Gu Lang immediately resumed his work mode, while Chen Xing wiped the table in a panic, pretending that he was just an ordinary mistress.

When Miss Zhou was waiting to settle the accounts, she raised her eyes generously to look at the accountant in front of her, looked at his handsome face, and secretly sighed to herself that it was no wonder Chen Linger liked him like this.

And Chen Ling'er, who was accompanied by Miss Zhou, looked at Gu Lang from the side, seeing that he never glanced at her when paying the bill, as if she hadn't seen herself, she felt extremely depressed.She also thought she was a beauty, but she didn't expect to be so unpopular.

It's just that Gu Lang didn't look at her, but Chen Ling'er looked at Gu Lang unscrupulously. She looked at him in a moon-white robe, tall and tall, with that handsome face, even in a simple restaurant, it was a vivid foil It has a taste of elegance.

But it's such a good-looking character with such vulgar things, she thought so, her eyes drifted towards Chen Xing who was beside Gu Lang, and looked at the rough clothes he specially put on because it was convenient for work. Commoner's eyes flashed a bit of obvious dislike.

When Gu Lang collected the money Miss Zhou gave and gave her the rest of the change, he raised his eyes and saw her contempt for Chen Xing.The corners of Gu Lang's mouth were pursed into a straight line, and his eyes when looking at Chen Ling'er became unfriendly.

When Chen Ling'er withdrew her gaze and looked at Gu Lang again, she immediately met his cold gaze. She froze for a moment, and suddenly felt a little bit of fear in her heart.

Until she was dragged out of the shop by Miss Zhou and got back into the carriage to go back, she still hadn't recovered from the cold eyes she saw just now.

"Ling'er, what's the matter with you?" Perhaps Chen Ling'er's abnormal behavior was too eye-catching. After the young lady finished asking, the rest of the people in the car with her all looked at her.

"Ah?" Chen Ling'er was still thinking about the look that Gu Lang gave her just now, she felt that she couldn't figure it out, when she suddenly heard someone calling her, you all came back to your senses, as if you didn't hear clearly Looking at them, his eyes were full of confusion.

Seeing her distraught appearance, the rest of them glanced at each other, and finally the one who played well with her said, "Chen Linger, what's going on with you today, why do you feel that you have been disoriented since you came out?"

"I, I don't." Chen Ling'er was startled when she heard her question, and quickly shook her head to deny it.

The ladies looked at Chen Linger and wanted to ask more questions, but Ms. Zhou interrupted their questioning and smiled gently, "Linger must have not slept well yesterday, which is why she is in a trance, so don't ask By the way, I just got a script a few days ago, I think it's very interesting, do you want to listen to it?"

Miss Zhou's words drew the minds of those ladies, and as expected, after she finished speaking, the ladies in the carriage said in unison: "Yes, you say it quickly."

Ms. Zhou didn't take Joe either. Seeing how interested they were, she said directly: "The name of that storybook is Meiyuan Ji. It tells about a scholar who rescued a peasant girl who fell into the water when she was down. Because of her body, she asked the scholar to marry her, and the scholar married him under pressure from his mother.

Who knew, the scholar graduated from high school in the third year after marrying his wife, and became the champion of the year.After he became the No. [-] scholar, when he went to appreciate the plum blossoms with the students of the same department, he met a rich lady who was also enjoying the plum blossoms there. The two fell in love at first sight and fell in love with each other.

The number one scholar wanted to marry this young lady as his wife, but his wife didn't agree, so he cried and made trouble and hanged himself.In the end, the rich lady's family couldn't stand it anymore, and gave the village woman a sum of money to let her leave, fulfilling the lady and the champion. "

When everyone heard this, they always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the story, but there seemed to be something wrong that couldn't be told.So, I could only sit there and look at each other, not knowing what to say.

In the end, it was the little girl in the green dress who spoke first, "Sister Zhou, this story is so boring, why should the number one scholar fall in love with a rich lady, and that village woman will give way."

Ms. Zhou smiled and said nothing, but Ms. Qian next to her said, "The village woman threatened the scholar into marriage, but later I met someone I like. Why can't they be together?"

"If you want me to say, these stories are all imagined by those poor scholars, in order to satisfy their fantasies." Another lady who seemed a few years older opened her mouth and said with a sarcasm in her tone: "If that The peasant woman was not a peasant woman at first, but a lady from a rich family. Would she have taken a fancy to that poor scholar and wanted to marry him? Even if she married him, the latter scholar would make a fortune, dare to abandon her so straightforwardly?"

As soon as her words came out, everyone in the carriage was silent for a while, as if they felt that what she said made some sense.

"Sister Qin is quite reasonable, but there are good men in this world too!" The little girl in green clothes retorted timidly.

The lady called Sister Qin looked at the innocent little girl, stretched out her slender fingers to poke her forehead, and said in a serious tone: "Qing'er, don't read too many story books, and think that the story books There are many infatuated men here, thinking that those poor scholars are all good, and they are easily coaxed away by others, if he changes his mind that day, you will have no place to cry."

"Sister Qin, you are so ashamed to say that!" Qing'er blushed at what Sister Qin said, and pushed her arm coquettishly.

Sister Qin sneered, and said unceremoniously: "Ashamed? There's nothing to be ashamed of. There are only us here and there, so there's nothing we can't say. What's more, I treat you as my own sister, so I can't be ashamed." The one who said these words to you.

Let me tell you, in a family like ours, it's best to be well-matched.If the door is wrong, then choose someone you can handle, so that even if he doesn't like you, he will never dare to betray you for the rest of his life. "

The folk customs of this dynasty are open, and the requirements for women are not strict, so it is not a big problem for men and women to kiss or not. Although the other ladies in the carriage did not say anything, they still secretly agreed in their hearts. of her point of view.But soon, they chatted about other topics.

Only Chen Ling'er, who was sitting silently in the corner, listened to Sister Qin's words, always thinking about her last sentence, "Choose someone who can handle you, so that even if he doesn't like you, he will never dare to take it easy." you."

When thinking of these words, Gu Lang's indifferent face always appeared in front of Chen Ling'er's eyes. When she returned home, because she was thinking about something, she didn't have much expression on her face.

"Miss, what's the matter with you?" The servant girl who served her couldn't help asking, seeing her staring blankly without blinking her eyes.

Chen Ling'er suddenly turned her head to look at her, the maid took a step back in fright, and said timidly, "Little Miss."

Chen Linger smiled at her, "Go and help me find out something secretly, remember to be careful and don't draw attention."

The servant girl looked at her lady's serious face, nodded cautiously, and said seriously: "Miss, I will be careful."

After the maid left, Chen Ling'er returned to her dressing table, looked at the jewelry on it, and there was some calculation in her eyes.

After the maid left the young lady's room, after thinking about it, she went to the kitchen to buy a chicken, then shared a bottle of shochu, and then went to the old mother who was in charge of the staff in the courtyard.

The old mother looked at her and raised her eyelids impatiently, then said impatiently: "Pearl, what are you doing here when you're not serving Miss?"

Zhu'er was not afraid of her, she picked up the roast chicken and shochu in her hand and waved them in front of her eyes, then looked at her and said, "Last time Mammy helped me, I came here to thank Mammy."

The nanny looked at those two things, her eyeballs lit up, and the expression on her face became a little eager, she waved to Zhu'er, and said: "You girl, you are here, what else do you bring?" Wine! Hurry up and give it to Mommy to taste, and let Mommy see how it tastes."

"Hey, Mammy, I'll fill it up for you right now." Zhu Er swiftly opened the paper bag, poured wine for Mammy, and watched her eat like a storm, feeling very good.

After drinking for three rounds, seeing the greasy face of the old mama, Zhu'er said softly: "Mama, do you know what the master is doing lately?"

If there is anyone who knows the most about the affairs in this yard, it must be the old woman in front of her. Everything cannot escape her eyes. In addition, her son is also strong in front of the master, so he knows a lot of things.

But this nanny is also tight-lipped, knowing that all dirty things are hidden in her heart, she squints and thinks about her own affairs, and only reveals a little bit when she is drunk.This is all because Zhu Er accidentally came across her drunkenness, and accidentally said something out of her son's mouth, but she didn't expect to use it this time.

Sure enough, after Zhu'er asked this sentence, the drunk old mother said in a daze, "Master? Master recently, oh, yes, Master has been planning a big deal recently. If it can be done, Our Chen family not only has one more shop, but my son can also be the shopkeeper."

Zhu'er was a little confused when she heard the words, she pushed her to ask more clearly, who knew that she just kept talking back and forth, and she didn't know what she was talking about, if she asked a few more words, the nanny would Lie on the bed and fell asleep.

Listening to the loud snoring sound, Zhu'er felt a little suffocated, but there was nothing she could do about this old man.I could only go back to the young lady with the information I found out, and told all the details.

After hearing what the servant girl said, Chen Ling'er rolled her eyes, sent the servant girl who was still a little nervous, and began to think about what she said.

Chen's small restaurant, Chen Xing, shop, expand business.

Chen Ling'er's eyes lit up all of a sudden. Based on what she knew about her father, it was impossible for her father to see Chen Xing's prosperous business and not be moved. Since he was already moved, he must take action.If her father took action, then the best outcome would be that the Chen family's small restaurant would belong to their Chen family, and the worst outcome would be that they would get nothing, but it would be enough for Chen Xing and the others to drink a pot.

Thinking of this, Chen Linger's first reaction was to stand up, to tell Gu Lang about this, and let him think of a way to avoid it.He will definitely be grateful to himself at that time, and treat himself differently

But then, Chen Linger thought of the sentence she heard in the carriage today, "Choose someone who can handle you, so that even if he doesn't like you, he will never dare to betray you." Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing with caring eyes.

Thinking that if that look fell on her, Chen Linger felt that she would be very happy.That's right, he can wait until the small restaurant is gone, and she can take back the right to be the shopkeeper of the restaurant, so that Gu Lang can divorce Chen Xing and marry him.Anyway, a brother like Chen Xing is not as good as a woman to give birth to, nor does he have such a good family background as her. After Gu Lang marries him, he will definitely forget that brother Chen Xing.Moreover, even if her parents disagreed, she could use the fact that she wanted to marry as an excuse at that time, and she didn't believe that her parents would not agree.What's more, Chen Ling'er still felt that the reason why the restaurant was so prosperous must be due to Gu Lang's credit, after all, the Gu family's business was so big back then.Even if a lean camel is bigger than a horse, there must be something hidden.

Chen Ling'er felt that as long as Gu Lang married her at that time, she would not only help him keep the store, but also help him have children, and he would definitely not disagree.As for that shameless bastard, she can give him a sum of money like that rich lady and let him go away.If he is still uninterested, she doesn't mind using other means to make him disappear.

Chen Xing, who still didn't know that he was being tricked, finally had a chance to breathe after several days of hot business.So, he looked at his savings box on this day, and found that he had accumulated enough money in it, and he could even buy a smaller store after a while.

Just thinking about buying a store, Chen Xing thought of the fact that he had promised to return the betrothal gift to Gu Lang and asked Gu Lang to give him the deed of sale.Thinking of this, he became entangled in an instant, stretched out his hand and scratched his head, always felt that things were a little weird, and he couldn't deal with it all at once.

Just when Chen Xing was thinking about how to tell Gu Lang about repaying the money, there was a knock on the door outside his room, followed by a deep male voice, "Chen Xing, may I come in?"

Hearing it was Gu Lang's voice, Chen Xing's eyes lit up instantly, and there was a bit of joy in his voice that he hadn't noticed, "I'm here, come in!"

With a creaking sound from the door, a man in a moon-white robe came in. He seemed to have just bathed, with a bit of moisture all over his body, and his half-dry long hair was loosely hanging behind his shoulders. Slowly floating as he swayed.

Chen Xing's eyes were very good, looking at his appearance, he didn't care what he was looking for at this time, so he immediately jumped up from the bed, took the towel beside him for wiping his hair, and came to Gu Lang's side , covered the hair that was still dripping with water vapor, looked at him and said with a little reproach: "Why did you come out without drying it, you are not in good health, so you can easily get sick."

Gu Lang was startled by Chen Xing's action at first, and then watched him gently wipe his hair, which looked more cherished than himself, and suddenly smiled shallowly, "It's just a little water vapor at the end, No problem."

Chen Xing took the time to stare at him, obviously not agreeing with his statement.

Gu Lang looked at his angry appearance, but his heart was extraordinarily warm. He passed the box in his hand towards his eyes, and said softly: "I should have returned this thing to you earlier, but I kept forgetting it. It’s not too late to think about it now.”
