Chapter Forty-Seven: There's a Business
I want to find a way to help her.
Xiao Jiangbei pondered in his heart, so he came to the hall and sat down, and saw Gu Qiluo smiling and said to Xinghua: "Okay, it's rare that the second prince is a distinguished guest who comes to the door today, you go and cook a table of dishes." β
"Yes."
Xinghua agreed, and Chunyu turned around and entered the kitchen, looking at the backs of the two of them, Xiao Jiangbei was completely petrified, and it took a long time before he blinked, and asked Gu Qiluo, who was sitting opposite, "You Baiwei Pavilion, just ...... Just let the two of them be chefs? β
"No way, now is the most difficult time, of course it can be saved, and in addition, let the two of them practice their hands, and wait until they are proficient, so that they can teach their apprentices, right? Nowadays, although it is a bit troublesome to run at both ends of the store at home every day, I heard my father say that your family will come in two days...... I was hired, so I ...... It won't be so much trouble. β
When it came to this, Xiao Jiangbei was also overjoyed, since Gu Qiluo had a down-to-earth and generous attitude, he was not afraid that he would collide with the other party, so he whispered: "Why not be hired?" My father and aunt have already chosen the day, just on the fifth day of the fourth month, do the math, there are less than two months left, what's wrong with all the preparations on your side? β
If other girls hear this kind of words, they are afraid that they will be ashamed to get under the table, but Gu Qiluo is different, which of the men and women who are married in modern times is not discussed? Inya smiled and said, "What do you want me to prepare?" Well, what should be prepared anyway is that everything has been prepared, that is, I don't expect that our wife will not prepare any good dowry for me, and I am afraid that the second son will be wronged at that time. β
"Don't be aggrieved, don't be aggrieved, as long as your people pass through the door. What is left outside of my body, how can I put it in my eyes? Rao is Xiao Jiangbei has always been indifferent, and at this time, he couldn't help but grin and smirk.
**********************
"Lu Dongyun. When will the people of the original family come to the capital? Do you know that the Xiao family has already set a date, they will be hired in two days, and they will marry on the fifth day of the fourth month, and if the original family does not come again, the daylily will be cold. β
When Gu Qiluo and Xiao Jiangbei had a small gathering at Baiwei Restaurant, Mrs. Lu also left Gu's mansion and came to her cousin's house by car. Seeing Lu Dongyun still smiling leisurely, her heart was furious, so she entered the hall. After driving the people out, she asked straight to the point.
"What?" Sure enough, Lu Dongyun was also taken aback by these words, and said in a low voice: "Why are you in such a hurry?" Didn't my sister say that it could be delayed until the end of summer? β
"The people of the Xiao family are in a hurry. The lord is also in a hurry. What can I do? Mrs. Lu was angry when she mentioned this, she originally thought that Gu Mingyang would not be willing to be separated from her daughter so soon, who knew that her husband was confused in family affairs, but he was shrewd in front of the interests of officialdom, and obviously knew that Xiao Jiangbei was now a fragrant and sweet in the eyes of many people, and she actually rejected her own proposal, and even felt that the fifth day of the fourth month was not too early, and she just wanted to marry Gu Qiluo quickly. So as not to have many dreams at night.
Mrs. Lu didn't dare to dissuade her too much, for fear that her mind would be exposed. And so it goes. All her hopes can only be on the mother and son of the original family who have not yet entered Beijing, so she is in a hurry to come to Lu Dongyun today to inquire about this matter in person.
"Oh, this is a little difficult to do, why do you have to delay it, I calculate why the original family will not come over until the end of February, but even if it comes, I don't know how long it will take to do it, in case it doesn't work, the other side has already married, won't we waste our efforts in vain?"
"That's why I'm in a hurry to come to you today." Mrs. Lu stood up irritably, gritted her teeth and said hatefully: "It's all to blame on those goddamn rumor-mongering bastards, who passed on a good young talent to a murderous maniac, otherwise I wouldn't have given such a good family affair to that wild girl, hateful!" Hateful! β
Lu Dongyun glanced at his sister, thinking that if it weren't for those families, your family would not be qualified to marry the Xiao family at all, right? There are people who want to tie up with the prince.
But he didn't say this, because he thought about it, he rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Sister, I heard that the wild girl is shrewd and very tight, and even her sister's housekeeping power has been taken away part, but she is pure and filial to your old lady, if she can do something in the kitchen and make the old lady sick, why can't she leave her grandmother at this time and run to get married?" β
"Nope." Mrs. Lu shook her head and flatly refused: "Now the kitchen is in the hands of that girl, and my people are walking on thin ice and acting carefully, lest she pick out the slightest mistake." If you use your hands and feet in the diet, you are now giving the handle to the wild girl, which is absolutely not good. β
"That's ......"
Lu Dongyun also began to pace, suddenly patted his head again, approached Mrs. Lu and whispered, and then smiled proudly: "What does my sister think of this method?" β
Mrs. Lu's face turned red and white for a while, and she took a few deep breaths before she hesitated: "This method is feasible, but it's just ...... If she is seriously ill and feels that she can't get through it, she must be afraid that she will delay the marriage of the wild girl after swallowing her breath, maybe she will force the master to finish the marriage for the wild girl, wouldn't it be self-defeating? β
Lu Dongyun said with a smile: "Sister, don't worry, this thing won't kill people, the old lady will only feel weak and groggy every day when she uses this, and at that time, what can she remember in a daze?" At this time, it must be the closest person by your side, so that there is a comfort, she is old and confused, she is already old, and now she is so fiddling, are you afraid that she will not be confused? β
Mrs. Lu thought that after her parents were old and confused, she was also selfish and afraid of death. Because he thought about it again, he nodded and said in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, then according to your idea, where is the thing?" You show it to me. β
Lu Dongyun turned around and went into the back room, and after a while, he took out a piece of something that was as black as charcoal, handed it to Mrs. Lu and said: "That's it, quietly put it in the smoke cage, even if it is discovered, it is only said that it is agarwood, because its aroma is very similar to agarwood, not the big insider can't see it at all, or the clever doctor, he can't think of it, that is, your brother and I have traveled south and north over the years to see a lot of knowledge, so I can get such two in Miaojiang, if it is someone else, I am afraid I have never heard of it." β
Mrs. Lu glanced at him and snorted coldly: "Okay, I know that you bothered, if this thing is done, I will thank you well." I'm back in the house. β
*********************
"Girl, in two days, the Xiao family will come to hire, and the slave will not go out in the next two days. These days, you go out almost every day, and I don't believe that my wife has not received any news from there, but she just asked, which is clearly a mistake to catch the girl, and it is revealed in the same way. β
Xinghua dried the cleaned handkerchief under the porch, and said to Gu Qiluo under the willow tree on one side.
"I'm not afraid of her, she likes to expose it, anyway, I have already said hello in front of my grandmother, and my father is not that pedantic, if I know that Xiao Jiangbei agrees with me to be free, he will have nothing to say."
Gu Qiluo counted the spores on the willow tree carefully, and as he spoke, he thought about it and shook his head: "But the Baiwei Pavilion doesn't have much business, what can you do if you go?" So it's good to rest at home for the past two days, the carriage ride is too bumpy. β
"It's okay, it's the streets of the capital that are flat. If you are out of the capital, you can try it for a few days. Xinghua said with a smile, but listened to Gu Qiluo say: "Outside the capital, haven't I never walked there?" I walked from Hangzhou to Beijing for more than 20 days, and the taste was ...... I don't even want to think about it now. β
The master and servant were talking, and suddenly saw a child walk into the courtyard, Xinghua looked at it, recognized it as the little granddaughter of the princess, and said with a smile: "You came here to deliver a message for your grandmother?" β
"Yes, grandma said, that distant brother came in with a letter, saying that there was something to discuss with her sister, let me bring this month's moon silver." The little girl said in a milky voice.
Xinghua and Gu Qiluo glanced at each other, and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes, Gu Qiluo clasped his hands together and smiled: "Thank God, but there is finally a business." This is the code they agreed with Zeng Yuan, once there is business, they will quickly send someone to sue sΓΉ, Yueyin is the code.
"Who knows that if I didn't go today, this business will come, so back and forth, I don't know how much work will be delayed, maybe the slave and maid have arrived, and the guests have already left."
Xinghua hurriedly went back to change her clothes, muttering and complaining. Here, Gu Qiluo also frowned and said: "Yes, it is too difficult for the women in our house to do some business, especially this restaurant business, it is not like this, and I don't know if that dried fruit snack is enough to make the guests wait, so we have to quickly think of a way." β
The master and servant said, Xinghua had already changed her clothes, but Chunyu was not there, so Xinghua hurriedly said: "This dead girl, I just sent her to the second girl to borrow a red pen, why haven't you come back at this time?" was in a hurry, how could I have time to find her again? β
"Don't panic, don't panic, I'll go with you, it's really not possible, I'll give you a hand." Gu Qiluo comforted Xinghua, and on the other hand, he had already changed his clothes. The two were about to go out, when they saw the girl Pearl who served Mrs. Zhou walk in, and said hurriedly: "Big girl, go and see, our old lady woke up in the morning, and after the wife and the girls said goodbye, they kept shouting sleepy, and in the end they slept again, but they slept for most of the hour, but they didn't wake up, and the slave was really worried." β
Gu Qiluo and Xinghua were stunned, they didn't expect everything to rush together. At that moment, Xinghua looked at Gu Qiluo, and when she saw her, she said without hesitation: "Xinghua, you go out to do what I ordered, and I will go to my grandmother's place to have a look." β
"Yes."
Xinghua agreed, hurriedly went out, here Gu Qiluo rushed to Mrs. Zhou's room, and sure enough, she saw her leaning on the couch and sleeping soundly, looking at her face carefully, she didn't feel that there was anything wrong, she grabbed her wrist and checked her pulse, and it was okay. She breathed a sigh of relief first, turned around and asked Pearl, "Have you gone back to Mrs.?" Doctor, please? Has my grandmother ever been like this before? (To be continued......)
