Gu Mingzhu was woken up.

The exterior of the car was pitch black, except for the illuminated lanterns hanging from the doorway along the road.

Gu Mingzhu noticed the person beside him, pillowed his head on his shoulder, and asked sleepily, "Brother, where are you?" ”

"Here we are."

It wasn't Gu Xiurong's voice.

Gu Mingzhu raised her eyes, Xu Jue was looking down at her in the dark, and Gu Mingzhu couldn't see her clearly.

She quickly sat upright, and was a little embarrassed, Gu Xiurong lifted the curtain and said, "Wanwan, it's here." ”

Gangneung Fortress in the middle of the night is indescribably cold, and there are two lanterns hanging in front of the gate, exactly the same as before.

The six-day journey consumed too much energy, and after entering the courtyard, Gu Mingzhu quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Following.

Someone outside the courtyard was talking softly.

Gu Mingzhu woke up, she sat up, and was stunned for a while before getting up.

When I opened the door, the weather was clear.

"Miss."

"Miss."

The two maids saw her and saluted respectfully.

The garden where Gu Mingzhu is located is called Plum Garden.

Plum Garden...... As the name suggests, there are two peach trees planted in the yard, which are full of pink buds at this time, and they are ashamed to let go.

It's business as usual.

She circled down the corridor and said, "Where's my brother?" ”

"Miss Hui, the adults have left the house early." It's Yahuan Liu'er.

I didn't have anything to do in the morning, and at noon, Chun'er and Yang Jiu also arrived.

"Miss ......" didn't see Gu Mingzhu for a few days, Chun'er was very happy, and told her about the things along the way, and ordered someone to put all the boxes properly, so busy work, a day passed.

Early the next morning, Yahuan Liu'er came and said, "Miss, someone at the door asks to see you." ”

Chun'er is giving Gu Mingzhu a thrush.

"Who can you say?"

Liu Er said: "He said his name is Guan Da." ”

Gu Mingzhu brushed Chun'er's hand away and said, "Please come in." ”

Seeing this, Chun'er didn't ask, put away the dresser and said, "I'll go to the small kitchen to make some food for Miss." ”

Gu Mingzhu got up and walked out of the house, and was welcoming Guan Da into the garden, she smiled slightly: "Uncle Guan, tired all the way." ”

Guan Da also smiled: "Don't be tired, as long as the eldest lady commands, Guan Da will definitely do his best." ”

"Uncle Guan, let's sit down and talk." Gu Mingzhu invited people to the side room.

Gu Mingzhu got straight to the point and said: "Uncle Guan promised to give me the spoon and invited Uncle Guan to come to Jiangling because I was going to open a restaurant here." ”

Guan Da had already guessed and said, "It's all up to Miss." ”

Gu Mingzhu was satisfied with his cheerfulness, and said with a smile: "Uncle Guan is a cheerful person, the recipe Uncle Guan can draw up in a few days, as for the price, I will set it." ”

"Then it's decided!" Guan Dadao: "Where is Miss's restaurant going to open?" But have you got an eyebrow? ”

"I'm going to check it out."

"I'm half an expert in this area, and if Miss wants to, it might be helpful to bring me along."

Gu Mingzhu smiled coquettishly: "Uncle Guan, this can help me a lot." ”

Gu Mingzhu insisted on letting Guan Datong have breakfast with her, and the two took Ah San with them, planning to go to Jiangling City to hang out.

As the capital of the Li Kingdom, Jiangling has a rich and prosperous style, and most of the people live in peace at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

In her previous life, she was tired of these luxuriants, but Ah San and Guan Da came to Gangneung for the first time, so she couldn't help but be a little curious.

As the sun rose, the three of them spent the morning resting in a teahouse.

Ah San said: "Miss, there are a lot of places to resell, but the locations are not very good." ”

"Indeed." Off Boulevard.

Gu Mingzhu said with a smile: "I think the one on North Street just now is good." ”

"North Street?" Ah San recalled for a moment and said, "Miss, that place is the worst in the building we have seen." ”

He didn't believe that Gu Mingzhu couldn't see it.

Gu Mingzhu said: "The location is not good, but behind it is a lake, and I am very satisfied with the structure of the building." ”

"......"

"That's it!" Gu Mingzhu made the final decision.

Ah San looked at each other with a big face.

What should I do if I can't persuade me?

Do it!

The owner of the restaurant is a middle-aged man in his forties, and when he asked the reason, it turned out that because of the location, the number of customers in the restaurant was decreasing, and he was not from Jiangling, so he made up his mind to sell and leave.

Ah San and the people in the restaurant talked about the resale price of 5,500 taels about 3,500 taels, and when they were about to agree to pay the silver money tomorrow, Gu Mingzhu, who had been sitting and drinking tea, took out a silver ticket and said with a smile: "Don't wait for tomorrow, it can be done better today." ”

The boss was also stunned for the first time when he saw that he would pay immediately when he bought it, and soon said with a smile: "Miss is a happy person!" ”

After finishing all the work, the plaque was removed, and the three of them sat in the empty lobby.

"Miss......" Ah San said: "This restaurant, just bought it?" ”

"The title deeds are all in your hands, what do you say?"

That's magnanimous!

Ah San and Guan Da gave a thumbs up at the same time in their hearts.

Gu Mingzhu glanced at the empty building and said, "There are some problems with the furnishings of this building, when I go back to draw a picture, you can rearrange it according to it." ”

"Yes." Ah San said: "But most of the tables and chairs in this building are in good condition, and we can still have a sum of money left." ”

Gu Mingzhu shook his head: "The tables and chairs should also be changed, otherwise the price will be too low." ”

Ah San had no choice but to say, "Since Miss said so, then I'll take a trip." ”

Guan Da dragged his chin, looked at it carefully, and asked, "Miss, have you thought of a name?" ”

"I've thought about it a long time ago."

The two looked at her expectantly.

Gu Mingzhu said: "Thirteen Gardens." ”

"Thirteen Gardens?" The two of them were suspicious in unison.

Ah San said: "Does this have any special meaning?" ”

"Nope."

Gu Mingzhu was already doing things quickly, and quickly determined the name and asked Ah San to cast the plaque, so busy surviving, it was already dark.

When I returned to the house, my brother had already arrived home and was working in the study.

Gu Mingzhu didn't bother him, and after taking a bath, he picked up his pen and began to draw drawings.

On the second day, Ah San brought an album: "Miss, this is an album of tables and chairs, look at what you like." ”

Gu Mingzhu was carefully drawing, raised his head when he heard the words, quickly put down the pen, took the booklet, flipped a few pages casually, and quickly took the idea: "Just it, the money comes from me, don't let others know about this matter." ”

"Yes." Ah San quickly got busy.

As soon as he left on the front foot, Chun'er hurriedly came in and said, "Miss, someone outside the door asks to see you." ”

Gu Mingzhu had just raised his pen when he heard the words and stopped: "Who?" ”

"The three big shopkeepers of the Gangneung shop."

Gu Mingzhu frowned: "Who called them here?" ”

"No one called, they said they wanted to tell the lady about the situation in the store."

"All three?"

Gu Mingzhu's eyes darkened, and he said coldly: "Just say I'm busy, don't see me." ”

She was depressed and simply threw away her pen.

The affairs of the Thirteen Gardens are not trivial, and the family's business must also be managed, and there will be other things soon......

Thinking like this, Yang Jiu, my brother's personal guard, came and brought a post: "Miss, this is the martial family's banquet post." ”

Gu Xiurong is now a military attache of Zheng Sanpin, and he is also in the emperor's Yulin Army, so he will definitely not be missing from the banquets.

And the elder brother has just taken office, and the Gu family's etiquette must be thoughtful about these human etiquette.

Gu Mingzhu completely collapsed, accepted his fate, and said, "I know." ”

She stared at the banquet post for a while, thought about it, picked up her pen again, and wrote a letter to Xiangbei.
