Transmigrated into Substitute Bride 'Fu Lang'

Chen Xing was woken up the next day by the sound of rain outside the window. The raindrops fell on the eaves and made a crackling sound.The moment he opened his eyes, he felt that the air in the room was cooler than before.

Chen Xing dawdled in the quilt for a while, feeling the rare coolness, and then slowly got up and dressed.

When Chen Xing opened the window of the room, looked at the pouring rain outside, and felt the coolness, at the same time, he felt a little more melancholy. He originally planned to go out today to find out about Lai Jiu, but now it seems that he can only go another day up.

Although he couldn't go, Chen Xing wasn't too disappointed. He could use this time to take a rest, clean up his mood, and go to the kitchen to prepare breakfast after washing up.

When Chen Xing arrived at the kitchen, he found that Gu Lang was the one making the medicine today, but Qiu Jiu had disappeared.

Chen Xing stepped into the kitchen and paused. Gu Lang seemed to have sensed Chen Xing's arrival, put down the cattail fan in his hand, turned his head to look at Chen Xing, saw the astonishment on his face, and said softly: "What?"

Chen Xing pursed his lips, a little embarrassed, but still asked in a low voice, "Isn't Qiu Jiu brewing medicine on weekdays?"

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing with a gentle smile, and said softly, "I have something to do for Qiu Jiu, so I can only take this medicine myself."

Chen Xing looked at Gu Lang and said a moon-white robe, even if he was sitting on a short chair, it did not reduce his demeanor at all, and even the kitchen that was not very bright was brightened by him.

Chen Xing thinks that people like Gu Lang should not sit in this kind of place, but should sit in the study, whether it's reading or painting, just do some elegant things.

Thinking of this, Chen Xing looked at Gu Lang, and said directly: "If Qiu Jiu is not around in the future, I will help you make medicine. You are not in good health. You have been in the kitchen for a long time, and the smoke is not good for your lungs."

Gu Lang kept staring at Chen Xing, so naturally he didn't miss the surprise in his eyes. He had seen this kind of obsession in the eyes of many people, but Chen Xing's eyes on him were the only thing that didn't make him feel disgusted. .

Gu Lang smiled at Chen Xing, and said gently: "No need, my medicine is a little troublesome, and it is important to know when to take the medicine."

Hearing what Gu Lang said, Chen Xing subconsciously wanted to say that he could learn how to do it, but then he thought that this was medicine, not food, and if the food was eaten, he would have diarrhea, let alone medicine, so he dismissed the idea. It's just that the look on his face couldn't help but bring a bit of frustration.

Looking at his expression, Gu Lang was silent for a few seconds, and then said, "You have helped us a lot by cooking three meals a day. After all, before you came, Qiu Jiu and I were casual Eat and eat. So, you just have to do what you are good at."

Hearing Gu Lang's comfort, Chen Xing's mood improved again, and he smiled and said, "Well, I see, is it okay to have soup dumplings and white rice porridge for breakfast today?"

Looking at Chen Xing's smiling face again, Gu Lang felt that Chen Xing was very coaxing. Hearing his words, he replied in a low voice, "You can do whatever you want."

Hearing Gu Lang's deep voice, Chen Xing's ears turned red for some reason. He always felt that there was something weird about Gu Lang's words, but he couldn't explain why. Red ears go to work.

There was a patter of rain outside the house, and the two inside the house were busy, and no one spoke, but they also showed a bit of tranquility.

In the slowly rising medicinal fragrance, Gu Lang seemed to inadvertently ask, "How can you cook so much food and still be so proficient in it?"

Chen Xing, who was making steamed buns, heard him ask this question, and answered the question casually, "Family craftsmanship!"

After finishing speaking, Chen Xing seemed to realize something, stopped what he was doing, and turned to look at Gu Lang who was sitting in front of the medicine stove. He was staring at the stove in front of him seriously, as if he didn't notice it Something was wrong with what he said.

Chen Xing breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "Although I am Master Chen's child, my mother died early, and I have no status in the mansion. I am almost like a servant. I also learned my skills as a kitchen helper. , it may be that I am more talented, so I learn better!"

Gu Lang listened to Chen Xing's words, compared it with the news he had investigated, and found that there were many contradictions in it, but he raised his eyes to look at Chen Xing, who was serious about making steamed buns, and he didn't show any strangeness Come, but continue to chat with him one after another, describing little by little what he wants to know.

Time passed slowly while the two were talking.

After the steamed buns made by Chen Xing were finished, he wanted to ask Gu Lang when to eat them, but he saw Gu Lang pick up the cold Chinese medicine in front of him and drink it up in one gulp.

Seeing Gu Lang finish drinking the medicine without changing his face, Chen Xing looked at him with eyes full of admiration, how could there be no reaction after drinking such a bitter thing?

Perhaps Chen Xing's gaze was too strong, Gu Lang turned to look at him after drinking, and saw Chen Xing looking at him intently, those beautiful eyes were full of admiration.

Gu Lang was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand why Chen Xing showed such an expression, "What's wrong?"

"Ah? It's nothing, I just want to ask, shall we go to eat now?" Chen Xing hurriedly withdrew his gaze, only feeling that the way he stared at Gu Lang was extraordinarily stupid, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Let's go now."

With Gu Lang's permission, Chen Xing was ready to carry the tray with porridge and steamed buns, who knew that his hand had just touched the edge of the tray, and Gu Lang who came over at some time had already picked up the tray before him , the hands of the two were still inadvertently touching each other.

The temperature from fingers touching made Chen Xing's hand shrink back suddenly, and under Gu Lang's unclear gaze, he explained in a panic: "I was just a little scared."

Seeing Chen Xing's reaction, Gu Lang said in a very good temper: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

Seeing that Gu Lang apologized, Chen Xing felt more and more embarrassed. He was the one who made a fuss, so how could he blame Gu Lang?But before he could say anything else, Gu Lang walked ahead with the tray, and he hurriedly followed.

The two were walking down the corridor, watching the rain that never stopped, Gu Lang suddenly said to Chen Xing: "It's raining heavily today, so you should rest at home and don't go out to the stall."

Chen Xing, who was still struggling with his abnormal behavior, suddenly heard Gu Lang's words, raised his eyes to meet his serious gaze staring at him, and his heart beat faster.

Seeing that Chen Xing just looked at him but didn't speak, Gu Lang couldn't help asking again, "Can I not go?"

"what?"

Seeing that Chen Xing didn't seem to have reacted, Gu Lang repeated what he said just now in a good-tempered manner, "It's raining heavily today, so you don't need to leave the stall."

After understanding what Gu Lang said, Chen Xing nodded, and said with a smile: "I see it's raining so much today, so I didn't plan to go out to the stall."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Gu Lang, blushed and said, "However, thank you for your concern."

Gu Lang stared at him steadily for a while, then followed him to the living room with the tray.

After the two had finished their breakfast in peace, Gu Lang went to the study first, while Chen Xing went back to his room to count the money after finishing the dishes.

Sitting at the table, Chen Xing looked at the small pile of copper coins in front of him, and couldn't help sighing. The rain made him suddenly realize a problem. A peddler like him pushing a cart out of the stall, there is no A shelter from the wind and rain is just too difficult.

Chen Xing felt that after solving Lai Jiu's matter, he had to consider renting a shop there.It's just that if this is the case, the rent will have to be an expense, and the savings will be reduced by then.

Just when Chen Xing was torn between saving money and repaying Gu Lang's money first, or renting a place that can shelter from the wind and rain to do business first.Gu Lang sat quietly in the study, waiting for someone without doing anything.

After a while, someone knocked on the door of the study room, and then a man covered in steam came in. This man was obviously Qiu Jiu who had disappeared in the morning.

Qiu Jiu raised his eyes to look at his young master, and said seriously: "Master, everything has been dealt with, at the earliest today, at the latest the day after tomorrow, someone will deal with them."

Gu Lang nodded, as he agreed, looked at him and said, "Chen Xing left breakfast for you in the kitchen."

Qiu Jiu's serious expression suddenly changed, and he said with a smile on his face, "Thank you, young master, I'll go eat now."

While cooking at noon, Chen Xing was surprised to find that Qiu Jiu, who had gone out in the morning, came back and praised and praised the soup dumplings he made, which made him a little embarrassed.

After the three of them had lunch, Chen Xing looked at the gradually diminishing rain, hesitated for a while, and went out with an umbrella.

Chen Xing first went to the street where he sold things and asked the surrounding hawkers about Lai Jiu's news, and then asked people along the way to find out where Lai Jiu lived.

Looking at the incomparably magnificent mansion in front of him, thinking that Lai Jiu's father is just a teacher, and there are no capable people in his family, he can guess how many people's riches and riches his family has plundered.

Just as Chen Xing was staring at the door, thinking about the possibility of him successfully reporting his corruption, the door of the Lai family slowly opened.

Chen Xing hid immediately and began to observe secretly, and then saw Lai Jiu leading a group of servants out, and he could be heard yelling from a long distance away, "Come on, let's go and see that Little brother, let's see how he thinks today. If he doesn't obey, we'll catch him back!"

Chen Xing looked at the servants who catered to him, weighed the strength of the enemy and himself, and in the end he did not choose to go head-to-head, and slipped away quietly.Fortunately, he never reveals his address when he sells things, and he doesn't have to worry that this rascal will find Gu's house soon, but right now he has to communicate with Gu Lang, otherwise it will be bad if he gets hurt.

Just after Chen Xing slipped away quietly, Lai Jiu was stopped by a group of officers and soldiers before she could walk far from her house.
