Time Traveling: The Man and Wife Heads the House

When Jiang Tinglan saw Zhang Chi, she completely forgot about being reserved, and she didn't have time to hide her surprise, she walked up a few steps, and said first, "Sir, didn't you go to study?

When we met last time, Zhang Chi had a good impression of Jiang Tinglan, and gave a gift with a faint smile, "Miss may have misunderstood, it is our boss who is going to study, I am just a buddy."

"You're just a buddy? So, you're not the second young master of the Gu family?"

Jiang Tinglan was a little disappointed, but she didn't believe it. How could this person be just a buddy with his whole body?

Zhang Chi nodded, "Yes, I'm not the boss. Is the lady leaving? Then I won't delay you."

After speaking, Zhang Chi walked towards the counter.

He had just sent Gu Xihe back, and he was really in a bad mood, so he wasn't in the mood to greet her.

Not the boss?Cui'er also heard Zhang Chi's words, this person is not the boss?Her thoughts are the same as Jiang Tinglan's. Even if she is not the boss, she must not be an ordinary guy.

Jiang Tinglan's gaze fell on Zhang Chi all the time, seeing him walk to the counter without looking back, said something to the two people behind the counter, and then laughed.That smile was not a polite and alienated one when facing her, but a real, gentle, and seemingly pampering one.

Why is he smiling so much?Is there someone he likes among those two people?Jiang Tinglan shook her head resolutely, an old man, an ugly monster, how could he like such a person?

Tweety followed behind Jiang Tinglan and asked, "Miss, do you want to go back?"

Now that she got up, Jiang Tinglan naturally wanted to leave.

After leaving the door, Jiang Tinglan asked: "Tui'er, after you go back, ask someone to find out who that person is."

This time when she saw him, Jiang Tinglan felt that she liked this man even more, and she was eager to know everything about him.

Cui'er deliberately said: "Miss, who is the person you mentioned?"

Jiang Tinglan blushed, and gave Tweet a white look, "Little Hoof, are you really spoiled by me? How dare you make fun of me? I think you are getting older and more courageous. You should be released from the house as soon as possible." It is!"

When Cui Er heard that Miss asked her to leave the mansion, she hurriedly begged for mercy, "Miss, I was wrong! The servant made a mistake, so why not apologize to you? You must never let me go. I will ask Uncle Wang to investigate after I go back. "

Cui'er didn't dare to talk nonsense, she turned her head to look at the teahouse, but saw Sun Zheng not far away. "Miss, that ugly monster is following us again!"

Jiang Tinglan guessed the reason as soon as he lowered his head, "He should be here to see us off."

"That gentleman must have asked him to deliver it. Miss, do you think he treats you a little bit..."

Jiang Tinglan blushed, and said hesitantly: "You also saw that he was very indifferent to me just now."

Cui'er didn't take it seriously, "Miss, he looks like an upright gentleman, of course he should treat her with courtesy outside. But he remembers you, miss, he talks to you very gently, and even asks the guy to see you off..."

Hearing what Tweety said, Jiang Tinglan's heart was sweetened, and she regained some confidence.

When Zhang Chi sent Gu Xihe back, he felt empty in his heart. If it wasn't for Xiao An who needed to take care of him, he really wanted to stay with Gu Xihe on the mountain.

"Brother-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Xihe."

Thinking of Lu Zixiu's ugly face, he didn't even want to come back.

How old is Lu Zixiu?My Xihe family doesn't need you to take care of it!

Zhang Chi pulled Gu Xihe aside, and instructed him many times carefully.Finally he said hesitantly: "Xihe, you have to miss me every day. If someone tells you what, you don't pay attention to it. You have to remember that you are my husband-in-law, and Xiaoan and I are waiting for you at home."

Gu Xihe didn't understand why Zhang Chi, who was always calm and rational, became so sticky and childish.But he liked Zhang Chi's words very much, which let him know that Zhang Chi really liked him and cared about him.

"Brother Chi, you have to trust me and wait for me to go back."

"Ah."

Zhang Chi looked at Gu Xihe reluctantly, couldn't help giving him a deep kiss, and didn't stop until he was out of breath and his lips were bright red and moist.

Gu Xihe blushed, but this time he didn't push him away.To be honest, he was also reluctant to leave Zhang Chi, so he indulged his intimacy this time.

But when he turned his head to meet Lu Zixiu's deep gaze, his face blushed suddenly, and he touched his nose, "Uh, Zixiu, let's go back!"

However, Lu Zixiu raised his hand to straighten his collar, rubbed his fingers against his neck for a while, then withdrew his hand again, Gu Xihe didn't feel it at all.

Facing Gu Xihe's clean and trusting eyes, Lu Zixiu sighed, could it be that he would never understand his own mind if he didn't say anything?Do you want to say it yourself?

"Miss, I have checked everything."

Jiang Tinglan put down the flowers in her hand, and frowned, "Tweety, why are you still so blah? Come on, let's go into the room and talk."

"Oh."

Tweety stuck out her tongue and followed Jiang Tinglan into the room.

Jiang Tinglan washed her hands, sat down seriously, and then asked, "What did you find out?"

Cui'er couldn't wait to say, "Miss, that gentleman's name is Zhang Chi, and he is Shuang'er married by the second young master of the Gu family. It's true that the second young master of the Gu family is the boss, and he is the boss's wife."

"Miss Boss, are you already married?" Jiang Tinglan's expression quickly fluctuated.

"Yes, Miss. They have been married for three years. I heard that the relationship between the two of them was very bad in the past two years. The young master of the Gu family once wanted to divorce his wife, but I don't know why he didn't. In the past year, the relationship between the two has been good. Get up and start running the teahouse."

Jiang Tinglan didn't seem to hear what Tweety said, but said softly: "So he's already married!"

Cui'er was also a little regretful, "That's right! I didn't expect him to be a twin. It doesn't look like it! It's a pity to marry a man."

Jiang Tinglan lowered her eyes and said calmly after a while: "What's the pity?"

"I just think that Shuang'er can marry a wife, why should he marry someone? Also, Zhang Chi, how does he look like Shuang'er? He is obviously a handsome man! If he doesn't marry, I don't know how many girls there are." Miss is willing to marry him!"

Jiang Tinglan's eyes lit up, "Tui'er, Shuang'er can also marry a wife, right?"

"That's right! My uncle's elder brother is Shuang'er. He married a wife last year and has a child this year. If it weren't for the difficult life at home, who would let Shuang'er marry?"

"You said, that Zhang Chi could marry a wife, but married someone else, would he be willing?"

Cui'er blinked her eyes, "How could you be reconciled? No matter who sees a man like Mr. Zhang, he will not treat him as a twin. Besides, I heard that his husband-in-law is not good to him, otherwise why would he make trouble? What about divorce?"

Jiang Tinglan's sinking heart seemed to rise slowly, and her eyes became brighter, "Tell me, if, if there is a girl who likes him, would he be willing?"

"This..." Tweety paused intentionally, "If it's Miss, how could he not be willing? Miss is a famous beauty in our Gucheng County. And her father is the magistrate of the county, so a fool would refuse!"

Jiang Tinglan blushed immediately, took a break and glanced at Tweety, "Don't talk nonsense, little girl!"

As the eyes moved, they added a bit of charm.

Zhang Chi can't get excited about doing anything recently, and always feels empty around him.He was lying lazily on the counter, his chin resting on the back of his hand.

Cui Jingshun stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Zhang Chi, I think the boss has left, and you seem to have lost your soul. The boss has only been gone for three days, and he won't be back until seven days later!"

Zhang Chi sighed, "I never thought life would be so difficult!"

Cui Jingshun shook his head with a smile, "Zhang Chi, didn't you learn a new way of making tea from the boss? Why don't you brew one now and show us?"

Zhang Chi didn't move, "The boss isn't at home, I'm not in the mood."

Well, that's the reason.

Cui Jingshun knew that he was feeling uncomfortable, thinking that after a while, it would be fine when he got used to it, so he stopped irritating him and started to settle accounts.

For a moment, there was only the crisp sound of abacus in this small corner.

Zhang Chi saw that Cui Jingshun started to work, how could he be lazy as a boss lady?Slowly sat up straight, and reconciled with Cui Jingshun.

However, even though he was facing the tent, his heart was still on Gu Xihe.

"One autumn rain and one cold. It rained yesterday, but it's much colder today. Yunshan Academy is on the mountain, so it should be colder than here, right?"

Zhang Chi was worried that Gu Xihe was thin and weak, and wondered if he had worn more clothes.

Cui Jingshun knew what he was thinking, and comforted him: "You brought so many clothes for the boss, the boss will not be cold. Zhang Chi, don't worry, the boss has been in Yunshan Academy for ten years, and nothing will happen. "

Zhang Chi understands the truth, but he can't stop thinking about it.Wondering if that person is eating well, sleeping well, and warmly dressed, wondering if he is thinking about himself too.

When Gu Xihe was by his side, he didn't feel much affection for him, he thought it was just a habit and companionship, but when he was no longer by his side, he realized that it was not just a habit, but his heart was already on him up.

Sun Zheng collected the bill and returned to the counter, rubbing his hands, "It's really cold today. You can wear unlined clothes yesterday, but you will wear cotton ones today. There are obviously a lot fewer people coming to the teahouse today. Don't you want to come out?"

Sun Zheng's words reminded Zhang Chi, "Uncle Cui, what do we use to keep warm in winter?"

Zhang Chi felt that the seasons here were different from the world he lived in in his previous life. At that time, the city he was in had four distinct seasons, and the weather would only be cold after October in the lunar calendar. Here, it was so cold that he had to wear a padded jacket in September.

"Heating? Burn a brazier."

Zhang Chi has seen a brazier on TV, which is to burn charcoal in the basin.

"How many braziers are needed for such a large hall?"

"In the past, there were only me and Wang Jiang, and there were almost no guests. Usually we would burn a brazier, and Wang Jiang and I would be enough to keep warm. If there were guests, we would put one next to them. Now, there are guests every day. , why do you need four braziers?"

"Shall we go out and buy charcoal?"

"Correct."

"How much charcoal do I need this winter? Is charcoal expensive?"

"It's not cheap." Cui Jingshun frowned, "Let's not talk about the price, if we buy too much charcoal, there will be no place to put it."

Yes!How did Zhang Chi forget this?The space here has been used by him.

Zhang Chi put down the ledger and began to meditate.Charcoal heating should be relatively warm, but it is not safe.In case the guests are burned, it is not a trivial matter.

"Uncle Cui, is there another way?"

"Any other way? As far as I know, Pinmingzhai uses a brazier, the fire dragon buried in the lobby of the Songxuan loft, and the brazier is also used in the private rooms on the second floor."

"Underground Fire Dragon?" Zhang Chi rubbed his chin, it was similar to modern underfloor heating, it should be very warm.Floor heating, heating, boilers, stoves... Zhang Chi looked at the lobby of the teahouse. It was more than forty square meters and the roof was high. At least five or six braziers should be placed, which is not necessarily warm.If it was an earth dragon, it would be too troublesome to dig the ground.Do you want to use a soil heater?This is simple, but I don't know if anyone here can do it.

"Uncle Cui, how do you keep warm at home?"

Cui Jingshun chuckled, "I sleep on a kang at home. I cook dinner at night. The kang is very hot. It doesn't matter if the room is not hot. It will be warm when I get on the kang."

"I don't know if there is any house heating in this town."

"Heating, what is it?"

When Zhang Chi heard what Cui Jingshun said, his heart turned cold. Uncle Cui hadn't even heard of it, so there must be none in this town.

But Zhang Chi didn't give up, "Uncle Cui, Sun Zheng, is there a blacksmith in our town?"

"Blacksmith? Yes. There are several in town! What do you want a blacksmith for?"

When Zhang Chi heard that there was a blacksmith in this town, he suddenly had hope again.They have a stove at home, but it is not suitable for use in a teahouse. With a blacksmith, he can redesign it and let him do it.If two stoves can be placed in the hall, the problem of heating can be almost solved.

The stove burns coal, which can be packed in bags and takes up less space.

"Uncle Cui, take me to a blacksmith tomorrow. I want to make two stoves."

Cui Jingshun immediately understood what he meant, "Stoves can also be used for heating. But burning coal will cause smoke, and there will be smells in the room. I'm afraid it will affect the guests?"

"No. I will redesign the stove. The redesigned stove will only burn coals. The temperature will be high, and there won't be too much smoke, and the room will be warmer."

Sun Zheng's eyes widened. How could Zhang Chi design a stove?

Cui Jingshun was used to Zhang Chi's omnipotence, so he was very calm, "Okay, I'll take you to Blacksmith Sun tomorrow. He is very skillful, he can make any kind of stove you want."

"Thank you Uncle Cui."

Zhang Chi suddenly remembered that there was no stove in Xiaoan's room for heating, and the room would be cold, but he was afraid that the stove would turn on, and it would not be safe for him to sleep alone at a young age.Gu Xihe is not at home these few days, he always pesters him to sleep with him, what if Xihe comes back?Doesn't this kid become a big light bulb?You have to figure out a way.There is no rush, Gu Xihe will not be back until seven days later.By the way, when he comes back, I will pick him up.I wonder if he misses me?

"Hey, this is Zhang Chi, right? He really is a good-looking talent!"

A shrill female voice brought Zhang Chi back from his thoughts.
