Transmigrated into Substitute Bride 'Fu Lang'

Hearing him say this, Chen Xing suddenly felt a sense of mission in his heart. Seeing him patted his chest, he said in a very serious tone: "Don't worry, I will always be with you in the future."

Seeing his unusually serious appearance, Gu Lang curled his mouth slightly, and said in a more serious tone, "From now on, I will ask Xing Xing to take care of you."

Chen Xing heard Gu Lang speak in such a low voice, his ears were slightly red, and he didn't know how to answer the words, so he finally looked at him and said, "You're welcome."

Gu Lang suddenly laughed, the voice was low, muffled, somewhat magnetic, and caught people's ears so much that Chen Xing didn't know how to face him.

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing, who had dodged eyes and looked around but didn't look at him, and didn't continue to tease him. He turned around and wanted to put the things he brought back. By the way, he took the books here and exchanged them for a few more. New ones come.It's just that when he looked at the corner of the counter, he found that the few books that he usually put there were gone, and a bit of doubt appeared in his eyes immediately.

Chen Xing recovered from the embarrassment, saw the doubts on Gu Lang's face, followed his eyes and looked in that direction. After seeing that corner, he immediately understood that he was looking for those books , quickly pointed to the direction of the drawer, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that those books will get dirty when placed on them, so I put them in the drawer for you."

Gu Lang smiled at Chen Xing, thanked him, bent down and was about to open the drawer, but Chen Xing next to him suddenly said, "Wait a minute!"

After receiving Gu Lang's gaze, Chen Xing realized that he had accidentally said what was in his heart. He looked at Gu Lang with embarrassment, shook his head, and reluctantly said: "I'm fine, you go on .”

Chen Xing just happened to remember that painting that he put on the surface in a hurry. Later, when Gu Lang opened the cabinet door and saw the drawing paper on it, he would be able to guess that he had seen that painting.I don't know why, but this knowledge alone made him a little bit shy.

Gu Lang carefully observed Chen Xing's expression, seeing that he was a little shy amidst embarrassment, he raised his eyebrows, and then he opened the drawer, and the picture of the little figure on the top came into view.

Looking at the little figure painting, and then looking at Chen Xing who turned his face aside, Gu Lang suddenly understood why he had such a reaction just now. He gently picked up the painting, and then looked at some The shy Chen Xing said, "Did you see that?"

"Yeah." Chen Xing was forced to nod, and after nodding, he thought of something, as if he was afraid that Gu Lang would misunderstand him, he quickly defended himself: "When I was holding the book, it fell out by itself, I didn't flip through your book."

Gu Lang looked at him and nodded, and replied seriously: "Well, I know, I didn't put it away properly, so it fell out so easily, it has nothing to do with the stars."

Hearing Gu Lang's words that seemed to coax the child and excuse him, Chen Xing quietly blushed.

Gu Lang flattened the crumpled drawing paper, handed it to him, and asked him seriously, "Do you like it?"

Chen Xing looked at the two particularly vivid villains in the painting, and he couldn't say what he didn't like against his will. In the end, he could only admit awkwardly under Gu Lang's gaze, "I like it."

As if he had guessed Chen Xing's answer a long time ago, Gu Lang immediately showed a look of joy on his face, then looked at him and said, "There are many such things at home, if you want to see them, I'll go back and show them to you. "

"Okay." Chen Xing responded with a grunt, and only after he answered did he realize that something was wrong. He raised his eyes to look in Gu Lang's direction, and said in disbelief, "There are many more?"

Seeing Chen Xing's surprised look, Gu Lang nodded calmly, but said calmly: "When I have nothing to do, I draw at will. I have accumulated a lot during this time, and I put them all at home. gone."

Chen Xing originally thought that the one he picked up was the only one, and he was still worried about what he would do if others saw him, but now Gu Lang told him that he not only drew one, but also drew many. The place where he paints is full of people coming and going, and he can't imagine what expressions those people will have when they see it.Thinking of the expressions of others when they saw these paintings, Chen Xing now has the urge to cover his face and run away.

Looking at Chen Xing's fluctuating expression, Gu Lang didn't seem to understand what was wrong with him, and even asked him with a bit of confusion in his tone, "What's wrong?"

Chen Xing looked at Gu Lang's thirsty eyes, as if he felt that painting in this hall was a normal thing and there was nothing to make a fuss about, making him wonder if he was thinking too much.However, when Gu Lang was painting this kind of painting, there were crowds watching and even pointing at Gu Lang, he felt ashamed!

Chen Xing didn't know what to say for a while, he licked his dry lips, and then changed the subject in a very unsophisticated way: "I'll go to the back to see how their rabbits are doing, I have to put them away first. Marinate it for a while, so that it will be easy to stir-fry when you take it home at night.”

Gu Lang nodded, looking at the back of Chen Xing who was running away, a sly smile suddenly appeared on his face that was originally slightly expressionless.How could he not see Chen Xing's concern just now?He just wanted to tease Chen Xing.Moreover, he really felt that the things he painted were very good, and there was nothing shameful about them.

Thinking in this way, Gu Lang looked at the simple painting that hadn't been tidied up in the future, laid it out flat, and then put it in the pile of books that he was going to take back, ready to take it back and put it together with other paintings.

Gu Lang packed everything slowly, and just now returned to his seat, watching the customers coming and going as in the past, talking to the customers who came to check out from time to time.

"Shopkeeper, you're back." The guest who spoke had been coming to eat every three days since the opening, and they were almost acquaintances, so they naturally knew that Gu Lang and Chen Xing were husband and wife.Now I am not afraid to see this cold-faced shopkeeper, and even joked a few words when I checked out, "I was sitting there to eat today, but I saw the little boss sitting here looking out all the time, with a face on his face. The expression on his face was extremely worried. Seeing you come back, he smiled into a flower, and now it seems that he should be waiting for you to come back."

Gu Lang's hand that was doing the calculations paused slightly. He thought of Chen Xing who was staring at him with bright eyes when he came back, and suddenly felt warm in his heart. How could such a Chen Xing make him unhappy.

Seeing Gu Lang's change from alienation to tenderness, the guest was amazed, and when he left, he still murmured: "The two bosses of this store, the relationship is really good! I also have to buy some desserts for you." My old lady took it back, and she couldn't be left hungry."

Hearing the guest's muttering, Gu Lang looked towards the kitchen, nodded lightly on the table with his fingertips, and wondered if he should give Chen Xing some presents, as if Chen Xing hadn't given any since Chen Xing came to their house What gift to give him, but what kind of gift should I give Chen Xing?

Chen House.

After Mrs. Wu left, Mrs. Chen began to think about what she should do. According to Mr. Wu, Mr. Chen obviously started investigating the small restaurant a long time ago, but there was no news from her, which meant that he wanted to He kept it from himself, and didn't want to let himself get involved in this.

But seeing this exciting benefit, Mrs. Chen felt that it was hard not to be tempted. After all, some old shops can be passed down for several years with a single craft.But now it seems that Gu Lang and the others have more than that in their hands.As long as you get one of them, whether you give it to her natal family or keep it for yourself, it will be a huge profit.

The more Mrs. Chen thought about it, the more her heart became more and more moved. No, she also wants to get involved in this matter!She wants to take a share of the pie and get her own share of benefits.

Just as Mrs. Chen was thinking about how to bring this matter up in front of Mr. Chen, and then logically participated in it, a letter came in from outside the door, and Mrs. Chen waved her hand for the little maid beside her to take a look.

After a while, the little girl came back, looked at Mrs. Chen and said with some anxiety: "Madam Qi, just now Mrs. Zhao sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that they still have something to do at night, so they want to change the meeting time to noon, ask Is it convenient for Ma'am?"

"What?" Mrs. Chen's face was a little ugly, she agreed to have dinner, but now she casually changed it to lunch, which is extremely impolite when different families communicate.After all, a banquet represents the face of a family, and now she said it was ahead of time, and there was no way for her to prepare.And this rude gesture simply didn't take her seriously.

However, she knew that she couldn't afford to offend Mrs. Zhao, so Mrs. Chen could only grit her teeth and said, "Go back and say that we will be ready. Mrs. Zhao is welcome to come over at any time."

After the little maid went out to answer, Mrs. Chen angrily smashed the cup next to her. After letting out a breath of anger, she eased her mood and said to the nanny who didn't change her face: "Madam, please go The kitchen helps me keep an eye on it, so they can't slack off."

"Yes, ma'am." The nanny lowered her head and replied very respectfully, then she seemed to have thought of something, raised her head and asked: "Miss, do you need to send someone over to let her prepare?"

Mrs. Chen raised her eyelids, her voice was calm, "No need, since Ling'er doesn't like it, I don't need her to come."

"Yes."

After Mammy blessed her and left, Mrs. Chen sneered, "Your Zhao family doesn't give me face, and my Chen family doesn't have to climb this high branch."

An hour later, Mrs. Chen greeted the noble Mrs. Zhao with a smile all over her face.

Mrs. Zhao got out of the carriage, looked at the people who came to greet her, and looked around for a while, but she didn't see the person she wanted to see, and she frowned a little, "Why don't you see your family, I will return it to her this time." You brought a gift, but you dislike me?!"

Mrs. Chen was a little displeased with Mrs. Zhao's words that seemed to be questioning, but thinking that she hadn't decided whether to marry her daughter or not to make the relationship too rigid, she still held back the irritability in her heart and smiled. mouthed.

"That's the word there, Mrs. Zhao, you are joking. It's just that my daughter is greedy and squeamish. She ate some cold food last night, and her stomach hurts all day today. Didn't she just call the doctor to look at it? Lie down in the house!"

Hearing Mrs. Chen's words reach this point, Mrs. Zhao didn't say anything more, but the frown that was originally frowning deepened, and her expression was not very good looking.

For the next hour, Mrs. Zhao didn't see the person she wanted to see, she just chatted with Mrs. Chen at the dinner table, and then left in a hurry by prevarication of family matters.

Looking at the back of Mrs. Zhao's carriage leaving, the original smile on Mrs. Chen's face gradually cooled down, and then she looked at the maid serving beside her, and said softly, "Let's go, let's go back."

"Yes." The little maid serving beside Mrs. Chen didn't dare to speak out, and carefully helped her in.

However, Mrs. Chen didn't go straight back to her room, but turned around and went to the study where Mr. Chen was.

"Master, Mrs. Zhao is sending you off." Mrs. Chen looked at Mr. Chen sitting at the head, with a gentle smile on her face.

Master Chen nodded, he was still very relieved about his wife.It's not suitable for him to go to their women's gathering, but it's not a problem to get some news from his wife, so he continued: "Then Mrs. Zhao has expressed her willingness to get married?"

"Never mentioned."

Master Chen frowned, and his face became ugly. The business of their family was able to grow, one was due to the relationship with the Gu family, and the other was to borrow the wind from the Zhao family.

It's just that his Chen family and the Zhao family are not legitimate relatives after all, so after conspiring in some things, they gradually became estranged. Now he still wants to rely on marrying the Zhao family to continue the relationship between the two families.However, if Zhao's side is not interesting, how can he climb up here?

"Isn't the second son of his family very fond of Ling'er? This time Mrs. Zhao said that she wanted to congratulate the second son of Zhao. The first consideration should be my family's Linger!" Master Chen was extremely distressed, It seems to see the duck in hand spread its wings and fly.

Mrs. Chen looked at him and couldn't help but sneered, but she quickly thought of the plan she had in mind for the future, and immediately adjusted her mood, showing a embarrassed expression, and finally said: " The Zhao family doesn't seem to be a good match, and Ling'er seems to already have someone she likes."

"Then the Zhao family is the richest man in the city, so it's not a good match there." Mr. Chen immediately retorted. After refuting half of the refutation, he found that there seemed to be something wrong there. Object, what is your favorite object, your favorite object from that dead girl, how did you educate your daughter?"

"Master, it's because I didn't discipline my daughter well. Don't be angry." Mrs. Chen saw Master Chen's tightly pursed lips, knowing that it was a sign that he was going to turn red, and quickly added: "I just started I was also very angry, thinking that I didn't do a good job, so my daughter gave birth to thoughts that she shouldn't have, but after hearing what Linger said, I think it's okay."

Mrs. Chen's words undoubtedly added fuel to the flames, making the already angry Master Chen immediately irritable, "Do you know what you are talking about? It's okay if she is so shameless, you mother not only don't educate her , and fooling around with her, do you still look like a mother?"

Mrs. Chen looked at the furious Mr. Chen, a bit of ridicule appeared in her heart, but a look of grievance appeared on her face, "Master, listen to me first, and it's not too late for you to get angry after you finish speaking. Ling'er is not interested in The other person is that shabby hukou that we casually dismissed back then, Gu Lang!"

Hearing this name, Master Chen's originally angry expression froze, and the anger that was too late to take back made his expression distorted, which looked extraordinarily funny.

As if she didn't see his astonishment, Mrs. Chen continued: "Master, I have investigated it, and that shabby hukou didn't know the skills he learned there. Not only did he set up a shop in the city, but he also managed to do business He looks good, and he seems to be making a lot of money. He was mistaken at the beginning, if he knew that he was hiding his clumsiness, even if he was not worthy of Ling'er, Chen Xing would definitely not be cheap."

Hearing Mrs. Chen mention that restaurant, even if Master Chen understood that she couldn't possibly know his plan, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty, and he couldn't help but change the subject and said, "How do you know that it was Gu Lang who hid his clumsiness, not someone else's?" chance?"

Mrs. Chen didn't seem to see Master Chen's guilty look, she just lowered her voice and said: "The sick young man has been back for such a long time, and there has been no movement, but it happened after he married someone sent by my Chen family. .Then Chen Xing grew up in the courtyard of our Chen family since he was a child. I, the mistress of the house, still have some understanding of his virtues. If he has such a powerful ability, I don’t know where he learned it. , It is impossible not to reveal a little bit of clues on weekdays.

Only that kid from the Gu family, we don't know where he has been or what he has encountered in the past few years. He may have collected those prescriptions outside, and he is just waiting to come back and show his strength.And at the beginning, he was low-key and small with us, maybe he just wanted to get back the dowry to make some capital, or he wanted to take advantage of the trend to marry my Chen family's daughter, so that he could have the capital to grow up.

And the shop of the Gu family boy is only open for a few hours a day, is it because he is not in good health, so he can't last for too long.And that shop has such weird rules, and the prices of the dishes in the shop are not cheap, but the customers come like a cloud, does it mean that the recipes in his hand are worth a lot!Not to mention how much money can be brought in by extending the opening time of the store, just say that they can make more of their only jelly, which is a lot of money! "

Master Chen originally guessed that those things were made by Chen Xing, because that's what he heard, but now that he heard what his wife said, he realized that he was completely wrong.That Chen Xing is just a cover, the real powerful person is that Gu Lang!And that kid from the Gu family actually hid all this so deeply, teased him so far, and let him know it now, it's simply hateful!

Mr. Chen was overwhelmed by his wife's words, he didn't care about Chen Linger's affairs, he looked at his wife directly and said, "What does Madam mean?"

"Since his shop is so profitable, why can't it be used by us?" Mrs. Chen was waiting for his words, and immediately answered.

"How can you get these?" Master Chen asked shamelessly.

Mrs. Chen curled her lips, and her well-maintained face was full of calculations, "Of course, I should first be courteous before fighting. My Chen family had a marriage contract with his Gu family, but it was just a moment of confusion, so that bastard Chen Xing took advantage of it." Now that Ling'er has fallen in love with him, it's only natural for her to come back.

In his current situation, there should be no reason not to accept it.After all, one is the prostitute daughter of our Chen family, and the other is the unpopular concubine, so you know how to choose after thinking about it.If he marries my daughter-in-law of the Chen family, he will not have the final say on many things. "

"What if he refuses?" Although there was no such possibility, Master Chen still wanted to ask suspiciously.

Hearing Master Chen's question, Mrs. Chen's smile widened, and she said softly: "If he doesn't follow, then it's time for Master to step in. At that time, we'll destroy his shop and let him hand over the money." It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t follow those prescriptions. It’s just that we get less, and it’s also more troublesome. It’s not a last resort, I think the first method is safer.”

"Wonderful." Master Chen slapped his hands, obviously very satisfied with the solution proposed by Mrs. Chen, "We will do as you said, Madam, first be courteous and then fight."

Mrs. Chen curled her lips and looked at Mr. Chen who was very excited and couldn't wait to start planning. Obviously, she was also very satisfied with his obedience.

The small restaurant of the Chen family was closed, and Chen Xing also went back to Gu’s house with Gu Lang and the others, but before going back, he stopped by the tailor’s shop and asked them to help with the rabbit skin, and let them get a leather gauntlet out by the way. .

When he heard the owner of the shop praise the leather he brought, Chen Xing was a little proud, thinking that his vision was good, and he could buy such a good leather for the first time.

Then they went back to Gu's house together. The first time they got home, Chen Xing went to take a shower and prepared to rest for a while before making dinner. He was going to show off his talents tonight, so he couldn't delay it!

Gu Lang looked at the back of Chen Xing leaving happily, and felt that he obviously forgot to see the painting. He thought about it and still didn't remind him. It would be the same if he took him to see it next time.

Gu Lang turned his head and told Qiu Jiu who was following him: "
