"Miss Gu, please wait a moment." Xiao Er was also confused.

Mu Ran, who was in place, had a stiff expression, looked at Gu Mingzhu with complicated eyes, and asked with some surprise: "Why does Miss Gu only like to eat the fish soup I made?" ”

Gu Mingzhu sat idlely, with a shallow smile on her delicate cheeks, looking at Mu Ran with beautiful eyes, pursing her lips and smiling: "I'm tired of eating these delicious foods, but the fish soup you made." ”

"Thank you Miss Gu for complimenting." Mu Ran said modestly, with a hint of trance on his handsome face.

Soon the shopkeeper came, and when he saw that it was Gu Mingzhu, the tense nerves on his face relaxed.

"It turned out to be Miss Gu, and she was far away." Shopkeeper Li clasped his hands into fists and made a rude gesture and said modestly.

Gu Mingzhu didn't talk nonsense, raised his eyebrows and looked at Mu Ran beside him, and said softly: "Shopkeeper, where is Mu Ran's contract?" ”

The shopkeeper on the way to the first place heard Xiao Er talk about Mu Ran, this wooden guy can only make fish soup, and he can't learn anything else at all.

Shopkeeper Li had already wanted to relieve Mu Ran, but after eating the fish soup he made, he was immediately full of praise.

That's why he left Mu Ran, and only let him make fish and meat soup to watch, but he didn't expect to be favored by Gu Mingzhu, which made Shopkeeper Li a little headache.

"The fish soup made by Mu Ran has become the hottest signboard of Baijulou, I let you give it to you, and it's not a self-smashing signboard?" Shopkeeper Li looked hesitant and said in a low voice.

It seemed that Gu Mingzhu had expected it, her expression was indifferent, she raised her eyebrows to look at Shopkeeper Li, and said with a chuckle: "I am willing to give two hundred taels." ”

"This ......" Shopkeeper Li hesitated and carefully considered it in his heart.

Gu Mingzhu's delicate cheeks smiled knowingly: "Then five hundred taels." ”

Mu Ran's eyes widened in astonishment, with an expression of disbelief, his child born in a poor family, had he ever heard of five hundred taels?

Shopkeeper Li's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he looked at Mu Ran hesitantly, for fear that Gu Mingzhu would change his mind, and immediately said, "Five hundred taels is five hundred taels." ”

"Deal." Gu Mingzhu looked happy, raised his eyes to look at Mu Ran, and ordered, "You go down first and pack up your baggage." ”

"Yes." Mu Ran was still in shock.

"Miss Gu is really generous, this young man is a must-have when he makes fish and meat soup, and Miss Gu will be blessed in the future." Shopkeeper Li smiled and praised Mu Ran in his mouth.

"What about the contract?" Gu Mingzhu stretched out his hand and asked coldly.

Immediately, Shopkeeper Li came to his senses, sneered and ordered someone to take Mu Ran's contract and hand it over to Gu Mingzhu in public.

Gu Mingzhu looked back at Qiao'er, who stuffed the silver in her purse into the hands of Shopkeeper Li, "Shopkeeper Li, you have to take it." ”

"If Miss Gu has nothing else to do, I'll go down first." Shopkeeper Li said with a flattering face.

"Hmm." Gu Mingzhu's expression was faint, and he waved his hand to signal Shopkeeper Li to go down.

When everyone was gone, Qiao'er frowned and asked puzzledly, "Miss, did you buy a cook back for five hundred taels?" The general will definitely blame the young lady when he finds out. ”

"Don't worry, he won't care about what the general said about me." Gu Mingzhu was not afraid at all, and said calmly.

Hearing this, Qiao'er was still a little uneasy, but she didn't show it on her face, and soon Mu Ran packed up her burden and walked over.

The three of them walked out of the Baiju Building and sat in the carriage, sitting with a cramped face, lowering their heads and not daring to look directly at Gu Mingzhu.

"You're afraid of me?" Gu Mingzhu asked softly, a pair of clear beautiful eyes staring directly at Mu Ran as if they could see through people's hearts.

"The subordinates don't dare."

Mu Ran looked shy and said timidly.

Looking at Mu Ran's delicate face and hard facial features, but there are some dirt on his cheeks, the whole person still looks quite delicate.

"Since you have followed me into the General's Mansion, you must obey my orders." Gu Mingzhu said softly, with a serious face on his face, "Did you hear that?" ”

"The subordinate order was given by Miss Gu, so naturally everything must be obeyed by Miss Gu." Mu Ran said seriously.

Hearing this, Gu Mingzhu was in a good mood, and she bowed her head slightly to acquiesce, "It's good to understand." ”

The carriage stopped in front of the General's Mansion, and Qiao'er helped Gu Mingzhu to get out of the carriage.

The servants waiting at the door saluted one after another when they saw Gu Mingzhu: "The slave has seen the lady." ”

"Get up." Gu Mingzhu walked into the general's mansion with broken steps.

There was also a servant behind him, and the slaves and maids who were cleaning in the courtyard all looked at each other and looked at Gu Mingzhu with different expressions.

At this time, Gu Mingzhu took Mu Ran directly to the back kitchen.

When she walked into the back kitchen, she smelled a pungent smell that made her frown, and her whole little face changed color.

"What does it smell like?" Gu Mingzhu asked with a pained look on his face.

The grandmother who was in charge of the back kitchen came over and saluted respectfully: "Mrs. Hui, this is the herb that the general ordered the slave maid to boil for Miss Ling." ”

"Ling Feng hasn't left yet?" Gu Mingzhu asked coldly, his face displeased.

Seeing that the day was gradually darkening, Ling Feng did not return to the house for a long time, and was still in the same room with Chu Jing, what did he want to do?

"Mrs. Hui, Miss Ling is lying in the guest room at the moment." The housekeeper said word by word.

"Today I will invite a cook back to the house, and he will be in charge of the cooking in the future." Gu Mingzhu commanded in a deep voice, leading Mu Ran into the back kitchen.

The slaves and maids present all looked at Mu Ran with different expressions, and looked at each other's faces.

"You can call him Chef Wood in the future." After Gu Mingzhu finished explaining, she hurriedly walked out of the kitchen, and it was indeed the embarrassing smell of herbs in the kitchen that gave her a headache.

"The slave obeys." The slaves and maids all replied possessively.

Hearing this, Gu Mingzhu handed Mu Ran over to the grandmother who was in charge of the house, and led him to the side room to rest.

When Gu Mingzhu was busy and was about to sit down to think about it, Qiao'er walked in with tea.

Qiao'er is delicate, and her face is full of dissatisfaction at the moment, and she said coquettishly: "Miss, why do you still have the heart to be in a daze here?" ”

Gu Mingzhu leaned idly on the chaise longue, with an indifferent expression on her delicate cheeks, and said slowly: "What are you doing in a panic?" ”

"As soon as the slave maid came to the kitchen, she heard the subordinates break their mouths, saying that the general was going to stay with Miss Ling tonight." Qiao'er said word by word.

Stay? Gu Mingzhu looked surprised, frowning slightly, this simply didn't put her, the general's wife, in her eyes.

Even if there is no trace of affection between her and Chu Jing, it does not mean that Gu Mingzhu can tolerate Chu Jing can stay in the mansion with other women, if it is spread out, her face will be lost.
