"Uncle, you're finally back."

When Gu Bei returned to the mansion gate, Qing'er, who was waiting at the door, saw him and ran over with a lantern in surprise.

"Guarding the door all the time?" Gu Bei looked at Qing'er and smiled.

"No, the maid hasn't been here for long." Qing'er whispered.

Gu Bei smiled, he didn't pierce her, he felt warm in his heart, when he came to this era, at least some people still missed him.

Qing'er carried the lantern in front of her to light the way, Gu Bei followed behind, and she turned back from time to time to remind her to be careful on the ground.

"Is the eldest lady back?" Gu Bei looked at Qing'er's back and asked.

"The eldest lady came back early, and she has been waiting for her uncle." Qing'er looked back and said with a wink.

"You don't have dinner yet, do you? It's also my fault, I forgot the time as soon as I walked around. ”

"No, the young lady said that my uncle hasn't come back yet, and I waited for my aunt to eat together, and I specially instructed my maid to heat up the meal, so that my uncle can eat hot meals at any time when he comes back." Qing'er's glutinous voice came.

"You won't have to wait for me in this case."

On the path of the home, the master and servant chattered warmly.

At the dinner table, Qing'er glanced at the eldest lady, and asked curiously at Gu Bei, who was gobbling up:

"Uncle, where have you been today?"

Gu Bei took a bite of rice, swallowed it, and said vaguely: "I went to Qinhuai River today, and I wanted to deduce a story of a talented and beautiful woman, but it turned out that there was a talented man, but the beautiful woman didn't know where she was." ”

"Uncle bragging, you obviously went out with Miss Xiaoyi." Qing'er glanced at the eldest lady and asked.

Seeing Qing'er's secret eyes, Gu Bei knew in his heart, and peeked at Bai Luoshi, who was eating quietly and pricking up her ears.

"The lady wants to eat more, but it's not okay to always eat vegetables." Gu Bei picked up the chicken pieces and put them in the Bai Luoshi bowl.

Bai Luoshi glanced at him with a small head, lowered her head and pulled the chicken chop in the bowl aside, picked up a green vegetable and stuffed it into her mouth.

Gu Bei looked at it in amazement, what was the situation, and he felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong today.

Gu Bei, who had a strong desire to survive, asked tentatively: "Lady, do you remember Miss Mercy Dream?" ”

"Poor Dream Girl?" Bai Luoshi opened his mouth and said, "The poor dream girl of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion. ”

"Yes," Gu Bei nodded and said. "Lianmeng invited me to go upstairs with the Cheng family brothers and sisters to swim in the Qinhuai River today, and by the way, I sold her the next heavenly fragrance."

Bai Luoshi looked at Gu Bei with a smile, and said with a sneer: "It's to invite you, Xiaoyi, they are by the way." ”

"After all, I refused last time, and I refused again this time..."Gu Bei said embarrassedly: "So I went." ”

"Miss Dream, she's pretty too!" Bai Luoshi asked with a smile.

"It's pretty good." Gu Bei replied.

"The figure is also very good!"

"Yes, the figure is great, on par with a lady." Gu Bei replied honestly.

"Is she pretty, or am I pretty?" Bai Luoshi blinked, her long eyelashes twitched, and asked out loud.

The smile on Gu Bei's face froze.

No wonder she feels a little different today than usual, weird, she actually knows how to change the routine.

O sinner!

It's an unforgivable sin!

If you had known, you wouldn't have told the truth.

Gu Bei said with a serious face: "Of course the lady is beautiful, how can she compare with the lady." ”

Bai Luoshi snorted, slapped the bowl on the table, got up and walked to the room.

"Lady..."Gu Bei looked at the scene in front of him, dumbfounded.

Qing'er also put the bowl down and trotted in.

Gu Bei looked at the left and right as if it was empty, mechanically pulling the rice, and only felt that the food was tasteless.

"Here you go, Uncle Bad Guy."

At this time, Qing'er ran back again, put the silver ticket on the dining table, and twisted her waist away.

Gu Bei looked at the silver ticket on the table and was stunned.

Early in the morning, Gu Bei pushed open the door and walked out, Qing'er came in with a basin of washing water at the door, put it on the table, and ran out without looking at Gu Bei.

Gu Bei is a man-devouring beast.

After Gu Bei finished washing, he sat down at the dining table, Qing'er brought a few white-flour steamed buns and placed them on the table, and stood aside.

Looking at Qing'er, Gu Bei opened his mouth and asked, "Qing'er, where is the eldest lady?" ”

"Miss has eaten in the room." Qing'er replied coolly.

"Oh, then sit down and eat together, why are you still polite to your uncle." Gu Bei said with a smile.

"Don't dare, the Bai family rules, the subordinates are not allowed to serve at the table, and they are not allowed to sit on an equal footing with the master." Qing'er said stiffly.

“......”

Hearing Qing'er's reply, Gu Bei really wanted to stuff the steamed bun in his hand into her mouth.

Why didn't you say that before?

After eating breakfast like chewing wax, Gu Bei sat on the recliner in the courtyard, the recliner shook and shook, he wanted to sleep but couldn't sleep, he felt so unaccustomed, he always felt that something was missing.

What did the two of them want, they had been like this since last night, as if they wanted to isolate him.

Usually basking in the sun, there is a sunny child chattering next to him, serving tea and water, and sending fruit snacks when he is hungry.

It's good now, there is no tea and snacks, and there is no chirping Qing'er, only the sound of rocking chairs, and the silence in the courtyard is terrible.

Gu Bei only felt that he couldn't stand it anymore, and pinched his thigh with his right hand.

Can't go,

I can go

Gu Bei was engaged in a battle between heaven and man in his mind.

Calm down!

Be sure to calm down!

After a stick of incense, Gu Bei entered Bai Luoshi's bedroom with a flattering face, saw Bai Luoshi sitting by the bookcase looking at something, and quietly walked behind her.

Gu Bei looked at the manuscript on the bookcase, a little familiar.

Gu Bei walked in and took a look, wasn't this the book he wrote, no wonder he felt that there was always something missing from his bookcase. It turned out to be this "The Legend of the West Chamber".

"Uncle, someone is looking for you."

Qing'er's voice came from the courtyard, which woke up Bai Luoshi, Bai Luoshi looked up and saw that it was Gu Bei, and her face suddenly sank.

"Lady..."Gu Bei exclaimed affectionately.

"Go out," Bai Luoshimei glanced at him and said.

I wanted to explain, but seeing that Bai Luoshi hadn't lost his anger yet, Gu Bei felt that he still had to see who was looking for him, and he was waiting to explain.

Looking at Gu Bei's figure walking out of the door, Bai Luoshi unconsciously clenched the book in her hand.

Bastard, let you go, you'll go, why don't you usually see you so obedient.

Gu Bei walked to the courtyard and asked, "Who is looking for me?" ”

"The owner, the workshop has been bought, the two shops have been negotiated, just wait for the owner to make a decision after seeing it, the two shops are one east and one west according to the owner's words, both are crossroads, but this shop..."Chen Jinwang came to Gu Bei's side and said.

"Since you like it, you can take it down." Gu Bei glanced at him, and then said: "Don't care about how much silver you have, you can make money if the silver is gone, a good shop, as long as the location is good enough, you won't suffer a loss whether you rent or sell it in the future." ”

"The owner, these two stores will cost 10,000 taels of silver, so let the owner call the shots."

"What? 10,000 taels of silver. ”

Gu Bei shouted in surprise, and when he saw the proprietor Chen next to him staring at him, he hurriedly changed his words and said: "These two shops are only 10,000, it's okay, just put it down and ask someone to decorate it." ”

After speaking, Gu Bei took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and handed them to Chen Jinwang: "Here are fifteen thousand taels, take it first, it's not enough to look for me." ”

Gu Bei patted his forehead, went into the room and took out a stack of papers, and handed it to Chen Jinwang: "Jinwang, you let the craftsman print it out according to the drawings, and the drawings are marked, which is clear at a glance, the decoration of the store can be slow, but the workshop must be fast." ”

Chen Jinwang looked at the drawings on the paper, which drew a very large thing like a wooden barrel, and then looked at other drawings, and wondered a little, could it be that the owner's painting is a tool for making perfume, relying on a large barrel of things and a round cauldron lid? It's too simple, isn't it?

In fact, Gu Bei really wanted to draw a set of other distillation methods, considering that after using the bamboo pipe, the bamboo pipe would be hot and rainy every day, and the alcohol distilled at high temperature would flow through, and it would not take long for it to burst open, so Gu Bei still used the most earthy method, and then slowly improved it later.

"Okay, you can take a good look at the owner, the small one will be built as soon as possible, and the workshop will be built first." Chen Jinwang patted his chest and said.

After a while, Chen Jinwang walked out of the courtyard energetically with the drawings, and walked towards the gatehouse with his head held high.

Gu Bei was thinking of a way to coax the lady, and Cheng Xiaoyi's voice came from outside the door:

"Brother-in-law, you took me to the flower boat yesterday, it's not fun at all, you stayed with that pity for an afternoon, where are we going to play today." As soon as the words fell, Cheng Xiaoyi walked in.

After Gu Bei heard this, he felt a chill hit her, this girl was definitely deliberate, and quickly explained: "Xiaoyi girl, you can't harm you, you just listened to a piano and said a few more words to her." ”

"Really?" Xiaoyi glanced at him and said with a smile: "But my brother-in-law really stayed all afternoon." And..."

"And what...," Gu Bei urged.

"And now the whole city knows that the uncle of the Bai family fell in love with the girl at first sight and sent Tianxiang Dew as a token of love." Cheng Xiaoyi blinked and said with a wicked smile.

"I'm advertising for the upcoming Tianxianglu, who made this rumor." Feeling that the temperature around him was getting lower and lower, Gu Bei hurriedly explained.

"Yes! Miss Pimeng also said the same, saying that Gu Gongzi asked her to advertise this day Xianglu, and when she made money, she would redeem her. ”

"Bang"

"Bell"

"Ahh

Cheng Xiaoyi heard three sounds, a "bang" sound was the sound of the room slapping the table, a "bell" sound was the sound of the copper basin falling at the gate of the courtyard, and the "ah" sound was made by Gu Bei, feeling that the atmosphere around him was wrong, looking at Gu Bei's resentful eyes.

She just heard that Gu Bei sent the Heavenly Fragrance Dew, she remembered that it was clear that after the harvest was finished yesterday, Gu Bei actually had Tianxiang Dew hidden on his body to give away, and he deliberately came to blackmail.

"Brother-in-law, that, Xiaoyi still has something to do at home, so let's go first." Cheng Xiaoyi said in a sneer, intending to sneak away.

At this time, the door opened, Bai Luoshi opened the door, stood at the door with a smile and said to Cheng Xiaoyi: "Xiaoyi, come in, my sister hasn't seen you for a long time, don't be in a hurry, come in and talk." ”

Cheng Xiaoyi, who was going to sneak away, turned her head to show a sweet smile, shouted "sister", gave Gu Bei a look of self-begging, and entered Bai Luoshi's room.

Gu Bei saw Qing'er who was stunned at the gate of the courtyard and the copper basin on the ground, and walked over to help pick it up.

Qing'er saw him coming over, picked up the copper basin on the ground, dropped a sentence, turned around and ran, "Uncle is a bad person." ”

Gu Bei felt that he had suddenly become a lonely person, isolated by everyone, just like eating Coptis chinensis, and he couldn't say the bitterness in his heart.

What a vixen,

Or a big goblin who cultivates in human form.

It's a good promotion, as for the trouble in the city. Let's make trouble! It's so ambiguous. Dark.

Didn't I reject you for the first time?

As for holding a grudge like this!
