Chapter 16: Fate
"I think Mrs. is also very human, so let's do this, if you can still get into Madame's eyes today, all of them will be counted as 20% off Madame, how about Madame?"
Gu Wushuang didn't answer, but just said his proposal to himself.
"Not really." Hearing this, the woman sneered and said disdainfully: "Mrs. Ben's vision is not so bad. β
After that, the woman put down the teacup and got up, and said, "When I haven't returned to Beijing before, I often heard people say how the second girl Gu from the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion is so good, and now it looks like that's just that. β
"Presumptuous, you ......"
"Amber!"
Gu Wushuang stopped Amber again with a cold eye, and then glanced at the woman heavily.
The woman chuckled, gave a meaningful look back, and led her maidservant girl away.
"Madame!"
"Shopkeeper, what the hell is going on!"
Amber was unhappy, but Gu Wushuang picked up the step again: "Is it really that person who broke it?" β
The main body of this step is a blooming begonia, and there is a tassel with precious stones falling underneath, because the tassel is also made of pure gold, so it is easy to loosen it in the first place.
"This ......"
The shopkeeper hesitated, and even his eyes became erratic.
Seeing this, Gu Wushuang's face couldn't help but become even heavier.
"You can't blame the shopkeeper for that." Seeing this, the little guy couldn't help but hurriedly squeak, and said: "Who called that woman so annoying, as soon as she entered the door, she said that our things are not good, the style is old for a while, and the workmanship is rough for a while, how can you say that we are also a time-honored brand, if it is really so bad, how can it be that it has not been closed until now?" β
Gu Wushuang was silent when he heard this.
In her heart, she naturally understands that the fault is not in her family, but this matter is ......
"After all, let's open the door to do business and make money in harmony."
"......"
"Yes, Madame has taught you a lesson." When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately stopped the little guy who wanted to say more, and said, "We are negligent in this matter today." β
"I can't say that, it's just ...... You all know what's going on out there, so pay more attention to it in the future. Gu Wushuang said.
The Gu family has lost the title, and now the Xu family is also carrying filial piety, so there can be no more side incidents.
"The other things...... It's not all difficult, it's a little out of fashion. β
"There's no way this villain can't help it." The shopkeeper was also very helpless: "The master in front of me went back to his hometown because of his mother's illness, and now he stays here, whether it is craftsmanship or ideas, it is two points worse." β
And the shopkeeper didn't think about recruiting another person, but at this time, where is it so easy.
"Take your time, and I'll keep an eye on it when I get back."
Gu Wushuang sighed secretly, then checked the account book again by the way and left.
It's just that he walked out not far before he was directly stopped by someone.
"Madam, my master is invited."
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man in his forties, who looked a little naΓ―ve, and he had never identified himself, so Gu Wushuang just paused and skipped it directly.
Only as soon as he stepped sideways, the man moved again and followed in front of him.
Seeing this, Gu Wushuang's face instantly sank.
"Don't be rude."
A female voice suddenly sounded from behind her, Gu Wushuang raised her eyes, and just in time to see Shi Jiuniang turning out of the crowd.
"Ma'am." Shi Jiuniang stepped forward, glanced directly at the roadblocker, and then bowed her knees to Gu Wushuang, and said, "The concubine heard that Mrs. is patrolling here, so I came to welcome Mrs. β
"This place is not far from Mingyue Residence, and Mingyue Residence is also Madame's property, why don't Madame also stop by and have a look?"
"Is it really just to see?" Gu Wushuang frowned subconsciously, and the eyes that looked at Shi Jiuniang unconsciously became complicated.
Although Shi Jiuniang didn't say anything about him, Gu Wushuang always unconsciously thought of Helian Yan.
It stands to reason that she would never have thought of him, but for some reason, the moment Shi Jiuniang appeared, she unconsciously recalled Helian Yan's appearance when she questioned her in Shaohua Courtyard.
"Amber, you go to the inn to inform your cousin first, and say that I will arrive later, please wait for me at the inn first."
After hesitating for a moment, Gu Wushuang finally decided to take a trip.
After all, some things don't mean that you can really let go of them, not to mention that she didn't really ask others about their wishes from beginning to end......
"The concubine is retired."
Mingyue lives on the second floor.
Shi Jiuniang led Gu Wushuang to the door of the elegant room, but she didn't open the door, she confessed her guilt and left directly.
Gu Wushuang hesitated, then raised his hand to push the door open, and sure enough, at a glance, he saw Helian Yan who was looking at him with a smile.
Gu Wushuang secretly stiffened, but saw that Helian Yan was just looking at him with a smile, and followed himself to drink the wine in the cup.
After a pause, seeing that Gu Wushuang was still standing by the door, Helian Yan couldn't help but laugh directly, followed by the wine cup in his hand, and then raised his chin and nodded at the empty seat next to him.
"The prince specially brought me here, is there something wrong?"
Gu Wushuang took the opportunity to enter the room, but he didn't sit down as he said, but just stopped a few steps away from Helian Yan.
"Can't I stop drinking with you if I have nothing to do?" Helian Yan chuckled, picked up an empty cup full of wine and put it aside.
Seeing this, Gu Wushuang was silent, and then finally sat down beside him.
"Between you and me, you can't be husband and wife, but you can't be friends, right?" Helian Yan raised her glass with a smile, and her eyes looking at Gu Wushuang were also full of banter.
Gu Wushuang saw it in his eyes, and he felt inexplicably stunned in his heart.
"Yes!" Gu Wushuang smiled, and then raised his glass and drank it all, as if he really believed that the previous things were really just a joke.
"Haha, happy!"
Helian Yan also laughed, but after laughing, he was silent for a moment.
Then, just when Gu Wushuang didn't know what to do with it, he spoke mockingly again, and said, "I heard that you went to patrol the shop?" β
"How can you say that you are also the daughter of a famous family, how can you also do this business now?"
Helian Yan looked disdainful, as if she really let go completely.
Seeing this, Gu Wushuang sighed secretly, and then spoke again, saying, "It doesn't matter if the merchant is a merchant or not, but it depends on his ability." β
"After all, there are two big families to raise......"
"If you lack money, you can tell me directly." Helian Yan frowned subconsciously, and didn't even wait for Gu Wushuang to finish speaking.
Although he knew that the Xu and Gu mansions were actually supported by Gu Wushuang now, Helian Yan still felt that it was inappropriate, but he couldn't say it specifically for a while, so he just thought that the Xu family or the Gu family was in shortage.
"It's not all about the money, it's just ...... Something is going to be done, right? β
Otherwise, the rest of her life will be long, how can she finish this life?
"So you're really here!"
Helian Yan was silent for a long time, and was about to speak, but he heard a male voice suddenly sound outside the door, and then in an instant, he saw a strange man turn straight in.
"Little Shuang'er, do you miss your brother?"
