This shop is cleaned up, the entrance is rich and wide into the four big characters hanging, the servants are busy in the shop, the shop is very elegant, calligraphy and painting bonsai, the screen couch table, it doesn't look like a pawn shop, but more like the hall of your mansion.
Gu Mingzhu glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze, everything was no different from his memory, it seemed that the Cui family still used this place as a place to collect information, but they didn't know what they were going to do.
followed Qingfeng to the second floor, Cui Qilang pushed the door in, sat on the side with a deflated mouth, and said with a slumped face: "This little lady is really spicy, I can't afford to provoke her." โ
Thinking of being surrounded by a group of women, he couldn't help but feel bitter.
It's really common to be watched, but the look in that look ...... is obviously looking at a good-looking patient, that kind of regret and that kind of sigh, which makes Cui Yi almost crazy.
The room was still simple and elegantly furnished, Cui Lin on the couch looked up at him, lowered his eyes and looked at the scroll in his hand, and dropped a sentence: "Why is it not in the palace, you want to stay here." โ
The two of them have their own arrangements for coming to Chang'an, and Cui Yi wants to stay in Chen Liuwang's mansion.
Cui Yi said curtly: "It's too stuffy over there, it's not as lively as here, I'll come and take a look." โ
He didn't know how to say it, he heard Qingfeng say that the eldest lady of the Gu family actually set up a shop nearby, and that shop seemed to have something to do with his brother, who had always been cold and upright, so he came over to see the excitement with great interest.
Cui Lin put down the scroll in his hand and asked Qingfeng, who was already waiting on the side: "Where is Mrs. Gu?" โ
Outside the door, Gu Mingzhu had already arrived with Xiaokui, but she was a little hesitant whether she should go in, after all, she and Cui Jialang just met in Pingshui, and they didn't want to be involved too deeply, but when they heard Cui Lin ask, they were so frank that they finally went in.
"Lang Jun." Gu Mingzhu lowered her head slightly, but she didn't dare to look at Cui Lin more, and she couldn't understand whether it was because of Cui Lin's shining face that she didn't dare to look directly, but naturally lowered her head.
It is said that the two Cui Jialang gentlemen in front of him are extremely outstanding, Cui Yi's handsomeness is free and easy, which is dazzling, but Cui Lin is different, his handsomeness with a compelling appearance, such as a jade gentleman.
A faint smile appeared on Cui Lin's cold face: "Please take a seat." โ
He didn't call Gu Mingzhu a lady anymore, but invited Gu Mingzhu to the table with the etiquette of fellowship between equals.
"The shop in the house has been cleaned up, and I want to operate it soon, the two shops are not far apart, if you need to, just send someone to say." Cui Lin said very politely.
Cui Yi on the side looked at Gu Mingzhu angrily, at this time, she knew that she was silent when she lowered her head, and her sharp appearance was so squeezed that he was looked at by so many people, how could he become a knowledgeable and courteous person when he saw his fifth brother, it was really hateful.
Gu Mingzhu ignored Cui Yi's annoyed eyes, thanked Cui Lin, and said tentatively: "Lang Jun's shop looks like a pawn shop, I don't know if that's the case?" โ
Cui Lin bowed slightly: "Yes." โ
Cui Yi interjected next to him: "The little lady has some knowledge, and she can recognize it as a pawn shop." โ
The ladies of Chang'an Guifu have always been insightful, and it is indeed rare to be able to recognize it as a pawnshop.
Gu Mingzhu ignored him, but looked straight at Cui Lin: "It's just that Lang Jun has a noble identity and a noble character, how can he be willing to come to Chang'an to run a pawn, if this is spread out, I am afraid that many people will be surprised." โ
Cui Yi snorted and turned his head to look at Cui Lin: "Fifth brother, she wants to ask you if you are a descendant of a family and come to do this kind of business full of copper smell, it is really a loss." โ
"That's what you mean, right?" Cui Yi said that, and asked Gu Mingzhu very proudly.
Gu Mingzhu couldn't help but roll her eyes, she said a good kind word, and it was really ...... to be said so bluntly by Cui Yi
It's just that she looked at Cui Lin, no matter what, she wanted to test and see how much she could know from him.
In the previous life, King Chen Liuwang was also called back to Chang'an by the saint suddenly self-styled, and stayed in Chang'an, and was increasingly valued by the saint.
However, Li Nian, the king of Chenliu, is obviously just a prince who has not returned to Chang'an without Queen Chen and has stayed in the fief for more than ten years.
Unless there is the secret support of several major families who have sworn not to ask about political affairs!
Cui Lin didn't look at it at all, and looked at Gu Mingzhu calmly: "It's just a pile to make a living, and the family also has to run a dot, there's nothing unusual." The answer is watertight.
Although the status of the family is transcendent, it is unspeakably expensive, but it is also a tower of sand accumulation, after hundreds of years of precipitation and accumulation, it is only today's prosperity, and the business and trading are also things that the head of the family and the sons are good at, the only difference is that they will not personally take care of it, but plan to arrange the right person to manage things.
Gu Mingzhu looked at the calm Cui Lin, frowned, took a bite of the tea soup brought by Qingfeng himself, got up and said goodbye: "There is still something to do in the shop, and I came with the elders, so it is not good to sit still for a long time." โ
Cui Lin looked at her and nodded after a moment: "The lady is at her own convenience." โ
Looking at Gu Mingzhu, who had simply left, Cui Yi put away his lazy smiling face, and said to Cui Lin: "Fifth brother, there is something wrong with this Gu lady, as if she knows something." โ
Cui Lin's eyes sank slightly: "It's okay." โ
He turned his head and asked Cui Yi, "What did Nian Lang say?" โ
Cui Yi's voice lowered: "The queen of heaven summoned this eldest lady two days ago, but she didn't give her a marriage to the prince, but Princess Anping has become much closer to her these days, and I don't know what to do." โ
He added: "But the virtuous king seems to be a little ...... her."
In just one day's work, the situation in the peony garden has been delivered to them without missing a word.
Cui Lin got up, walked to the window and looked at Gu Mingzhu, who was walking briskly towards his shop with Xiao Kui below, and spoke for a long time: "What is she going to do?" โ
Whether it is the crown princess or the virtuous princess, it is the glory that many ladies in your mansion dream of, how will this lady Gu choose?
Cui Lin suddenly remembered that day in the Begonia Flower Forest of the Jade Buddha Temple, she frowned when she looked at the Flower Pavilion, her face slowly sank, and Cui Yi said: "Go back to the palace, what news is there for someone to send over." โ
Chang'an and the Taiji Palace have never been simple places.
