The opening of the Thirteen Gardens is scheduled for six days later.

May began.

All the people and things in the Taoyuan were on the right track, Gu Mingzhu took the time to ask the three big treasurers in Jiangling.

The Gu family has a total of three shops in Jiangling, one rouge gouache, one ink shop, and a teahouse, and a net surplus of more than 7,000 taels per month.

The accounts are clean and don't look like a moth.

Gu Mingzhu closed the account book: "A few days ago, the big shopkeeper wanted to see me and said that he wanted to report the situation of the shop." ”

The big shopkeeper of the rouge shop was a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar, and replied: "Miss Hui, the three of us heard that Miss Hui came to Jiangling, and we really want to see it." ”

Gu Mingzhu's eyes fell on the account book, and his expression was faint.

She didn't speak, and there was a strange pressure in the room.

The shopkeeper of the rouge shop withstood the pressure and slowly called: "...... Miss? ”

Gu Mingzhu looked at him, her fingers tapped on the account, and she looked a little leisurely: "Then you have seen it now." ”

She paused, and then said: "There are some things I don't say, but it doesn't mean that I don't know, I'll give you five days to reorganize the account books and come to see me again." ”

The three of them looked at each other.

"What do you mean, Miss?"

Gu Mingzhu looked at the man who was speaking, and said with a smile: "Uncle Yang, you came to Jiangling to be the shopkeeper, or I mentioned it to my father." ”

“…… Be. Yang Laibin said.

"Gangneung is rich and charming, and it makes people intoxicated, do you say yes or no?"

He laughed, a little sneering on his face, always feeling that she meant something.

Gu Mingzhu sighed, and then said, "I'm really tired today, let's talk about something." ”

The three of them looked at each other, then picked up their accounts and went out of the garden.

Gu Mingzhu sat on the chair with a sad expression.

Once a person has been carrying someone else's things for a long time, he will want to take it for himself over time.

This is the case with these three men.

Because of the marriage with Yun Zhao, the Gu family's shop in Jiangling opened relatively early, just to move it to her after getting married, so that she could eat and wear excessively.

It is not impossible for Gu Mingzhu to open one eye and close one.

It's up to them to see what they do in five days.

In the past two days, Gu Mingzhu has made two trips to the Thirteen Gardens, and the inside and outside have all been renovated, waiting for the opening the day after tomorrow.

Inside and outside the Thirteen Gardens, a total of nearly 20,000 silver was spent, and if it was placed elsewhere, the money could directly buy two ready-made restaurants.

The night in Jiangling in May was not so cold, Gu Mingzhu was sitting at the desk, writing with a pen.

She received two letters tonight.

One letter is from Gusu Shen Yuying, Shen Yuying was not in Gusu when Gu Mingzhu left, and she didn't say goodbye to her face, she was gritting her teeth in this letter.

Gu Mingzhu smiled slightly after reading the letter, her mood was a little happy, and she replied with a pen, saying that summer is coming, if she is fine, invite her to come to Jiangling to play.

The second letter is from inside Gangneung Fortress.

The jet-black pigeon landed by the window in a vigorous posture, and Chun'er took down the letter raft and handed it to Gu Mingzhu, who had just finished replying to the letter.

Gu Mingzhu took it and unfolded it to see that there were only four words on the raft.

Return to Beijing the day after tomorrow.

Gu Mingzhu burned the letter raft, and the jumping firelight reflected her cheeks flushed, and also reflected her somewhat hideous face.

Gangneung is going to change the sky soon!

In the past few days, the case of Lianhualou was officially transferred to the Criminal Department, and soon someone found a burnt jade pendant at the source of the arson.

Because of the fire, half of the jade pendant was dyed with a layer of burnt yellow, and the pattern could still be seen clearly.

The waiter of the Criminal Department is surnamed Fan, and Fan Zhong's eyes are like torches looking at this jade pendant.

Someone recognized it and said, "My lord, isn't this the jade pendant of Prince De's mansion?" ”

Fan Zhong held the jade pendant and said coldly: "Indeed." ”

"How could this jade pendant from Prince De's Mansion appear in the Lotus Tower? It also appeared in the house where the fire first started. ”

As we all know, the Lotus Building is a vassal and elegant place, the geisha in it do not sell their bodies, it is the Merry House in the eyes of literati and ink writers, and the owner of this Lotus Building is the Yan family, and the Yan family is the person of King Rui.

The appearance of this jade pendant, is someone deliberately framing it, or is the truth that someone from Prince De's Mansion did it?

"Check quietly, let's see if someone in Prince De's Mansion has lost a jade pendant recently."

"Yes."

On this day, the Thirteen Gardens opened as scheduled.

Near noon, the Xu family's carriage stopped in front of Gu's mansion, and soon Gu Mingzhu came out and got into the carriage.

The sun is a little hot at the beginning of May, and Gangneung is such a ghost weather now, cold in the morning and hot in the afternoon, often wearing thicker clothes in the morning, and having to change it at noon.

Gu Mingzhu was wearing a full-breasted skirt today, with red, green, goose and yellow colors, two braids mixed with white hairbands hanging down on her chest, and a pair of pearl earrings.

She got into the carriage, Xu Jue was sitting on the side and pretending to sleep, she opened her eyes when she heard the movement, and looked at her: "You are a little strange today." ”

Kindness?

Gu Mingzhu couldn't help but glance down at herself, didn't notice anything wrong, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

She felt a little bored, and secretly cursed the damn weather in her heart, and caught a glimpse of a folding fan on the side, and without thinking about it, she reached out and took it, and fanned herself.

Xu Jue's fingers curled slightly, paused, looked at her, and said, "It's weird and beautiful." ”

Gu Mingzhu was so stunned that she forgot to fan it, she looked at Xu Jue suspiciously: "...... You...... You okay? ”

Xu Jue coughed lightly and stopped talking.

Gu Mingzhu fanned the fan again, but he couldn't help but feel his heart fluttering.

In fact, you don't have to invite him today, you can change someone, but it will take longer.

Xu Jue is the fastest person who can make a name for himself in the Thirteen Gardens.

She took advantage of him, and now she regretted it.

He shouldn't be treated like this by himself!

Gu Mingzhu raised his head and was about to call for a stop, when suddenly there was a commotion on the street, the horse stopped suddenly, and both of them were knocked upside down.

September's voice sounded: "Shizi, it's Yulin Army." ”

Gu Mingzhu lifted the curtain and looked, and sure enough, he saw a team of Yulin Army.

Xu Jue said: "It's okay, let them go first." ”

Gu Mingzhu lowered the curtain and lowered her eyebrows.

It must be the one who went out of the city to pick up Prince De.

After such a fork, I arrived at the gate of the Thirteen Gardens.

This street is not deserted, after all, it is normal for a new store to open and have onlookers.

September led the carriage to stop, and when he left, he didn't know what Xu Jue was underestimating, and he quickly glanced at her.

She was surprised and didn't take it to heart.

Gu Mingzhu and Xu Jue entered the gate of the Thirteen Gardens.

In front of him is a huge screen, on which is painted a picture of an old man fishing.

The sound of music gradually came into the ears, the sound of the piano was graceful, the sound of the flute was melodious, and the two complemented each other.

Xu Jue became interested, the two turned the screen, and there were four tables in the lobby, next to each table, there were flowers and trees planted one by one, and the flowers and trees on each table were different, but they all had one thing in common, expensive!

This thirteen gardens are revealing a message up and down, expensive!

Xu Jue's eyes flashed with a smile and looked at Gu Mingzhu: "Are you going to slaughter me?" ”

"Just tell me how this place is."

Xu Jue glanced at it: "The arrangement is exquisite, very exquisite." ”

"I happened to pass by and found that the layout here is a bit like Jinyang Building, so I took advantage of the opening to come and feast my eyes."

Xu Jue also found out and said: "It seems that the person who opened the store is very knowledgeable, and the purpose is very clear, and his eyes were on those dignitaries and children of the family from the beginning." ”

Gu Mingzhu doesn't plan to be the shopkeeper of the Thirteen Gardens by herself, nor does she plan to expose her identity, she already has a candidate for the shopkeeper of the Thirteen Gardens.

Running the hall is a clever young man with an innocent face, and when he saw the two of them talking in the hall, they were at a suitable distance, not far away.

"Little two." Gu Mingzhu called.

ran forward and smiled very decently: "What are you two eating?" ”

"Serve all of your signature dishes."
