"Wow, that's so much money!" Lee saw the glittering gold and stared at them with his eyes.

Zhang Zeshui and Zhang Zefeng set their sights on those jars of good wine, which they couldn't afford to drink for the rest of their lives, as long as the little sister agreed to go back, the Zhang family would completely turn over.

"I didn't expect Master Gu to be so sincere, it really makes me feel warm." Zhang Zezhen said with a smile.

"That is inevitable, our Gu Mansion has always cherished talents, of course, we must give the greatest sincerity." Steward Gu proudly praised Gu Fu and felt that the matter had been settled.

"Steward Gu, thank you for your kindness for me, I have already made up my mind not to go back."

Hearing Zhang Zezhen's reply, Steward Gu almost squirted out the water in his mouth.

My brother and sister-in-law can't understand my little sister's approach, this is a duck sent to the door, how to say don't want it.

"Little sister, we can't be rash, you see that the Gu Mansion is so sincere, we can't let people not get off the stage, right?" Zhang Zeshui persuaded him.

Before Zhang Zezhen could speak, Steward Gu hurriedly said, "Miss Zhang is not satisfied with the gift?" What else do you want, just mention! ”

"Steward Gu, don't get me wrong, I saw Boss Gu's sincerity, but I insisted on leaving, and I also hoped to take more rest, so that I could take care of my father and eldest nephew.

"It turns out that Miss Zhang is angry about Young Master Gu Yu's affairs, don't worry, Master Gu said that Little Master and Mrs. Gu will never disturb Da Lang's study again."

"Steward Gu, you misunderstood, this matter has passed, I just want to start a new life, I am going to take more rest during this time, and you don't have to be too reluctant."

Although Zhang Zezhen has never been to Jinyulou, she also knows the current situation of the restaurant, and Gu Fu invited her to go back, undoubtedly because the business was bleak and there was no way to ask for help.

"Miss Zhang, I advise you to think about it again, from the current point of view, the only restaurant that can give such a high monthly money is our Jinyulou, and there will be no such store in this village."

"That's it, that's it, little sister, think about it again, don't miss such a good opportunity." Zhang Zefeng kept persuading.

But no matter how her family persuaded her, Zhang Zezhen was indifferent, she still insisted on her own ideas, and said firmly to Steward Gu: "Steward Gu, I have made up my mind, please take care of yourself." ”

After that, she was about to walk out of the hall, and as soon as she stood up, she suddenly turned to her brother and sister-in-law and said, "If any of you dare to accept this money and wine, then forgive me Zhang Zezhen for turning her face and not recognizing people." ”

Then he said to Steward Gu: "If my family accepts the gift money from the Gu Mansion, I will not admit it, the so-called injustice has the head, the debtor has the owner, whoever collects it, you find whom." ”

Then he turned and left.

The people who stayed in the hall were slightly embarrassed.

The little sister said so, even if the brother and sister-in-law love money, they don't dare to collect it privately, if they let Zhang Yang's know, they won't break their legs.

Seeing this, Steward Gu also left helplessly, and what gave him a headache was that he didn't know how to report to Master Gu.

Zhang Zezhen, who walked out of the house, was wandering on the street, not knowing where to go, at this time, she suddenly remembered someone and turned around.

……

"Master Gu, Miss Zhang said that she is determined not to come back!"

As soon as Steward Gu's voice fell, Gu He asked with disgust: "Give her face, do you really think you are a celebrity chef?" Rotten! ”

"Shut up!" Gu Changqing became angry as soon as he heard his wife speak, if it weren't for her, Jinyulou wouldn't have reached such a point.

"Did you do everything I asked you to take, and what I said?"

"I said everything I needed to say, and I did what I should do, but Miss Zhang just didn't want to come back." Steward Gu said sincerely.

Gu Changqing thought for a while, and said to himself: "It seems that I have to go out in person!" ”

"Official, for the sake of a rural cook, you still have to beg her personally, is there any reason for heaven?"

When Gu Heshi heard that her husband was going to bow to a rural girl, she was immediately unhappy.

"It's not just me, but also you, and your son who is not angry, you have to go with me."

"What? Sir, are you crazy? ”

"Do you want the name of our Gu Mansion anymore?"

"Name? You go and look at the business of Jinyulou, and in a few months, not to mention the famous festival, all this you have will be in vain. ”

"Master, you're a bit alarmist, isn't Jinyulou good? It's the same before, aren't we still doing well? ”

"You are a woman, what do you know? You know ......."

"Master Gu, please be cautious!" Gu Changqing was about to blurt out when he was stopped by Steward Gu.

"Know what?" Gu He found that the situation was not right, and asked the official again.

"It's nothing, Mrs. Gu, you don't have to worry."

"Steward Gu, shut up, I'm talking to the master."

Gu He stared at Gu Changqing's eyes and asked again, "What do you know, master?" You speak! ”

Gu Changqing felt that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he told his wife the truth.

"Our Jinyulou has long been in debt, and I mortgaged our house. Only in the few months when Zhang Zezhen was there, Jinyulou turned a profit, and now that she is gone, the restaurant can't make ends meet, and our good days are coming to an end. ”

When Gu He heard the news, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and he was so frightened that he almost fainted.

"Madame, ma'am, are you alright?" Gu Changqing helped her to the stool.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?"

"Am I not afraid that you will be worried?"

"Aren't I more worried than you say now?"

Gu He's family, who reacted, hurriedly said to Steward Gu: "Hurry up, prepare the carriage, go to Miss Zhang immediately, I want to apologize to her personally, Xiaoju, go, hurry up and call the little young master over." ”

"Yes, ma'am." Xiao Ju replied.

"Madam, don't worry, we have to think of a countermeasure, we must let Zhang Zezhen have to go back to Jinyu Building to help us do things!" Gu Changqing thought that the obvious one would not work, so he had a secret plan.

……

Zhang Zezhen came to Xu's house to find Xu Yue, this scene happened to be seen by Xu's mother, she couldn't help but be a little surprised, how did these two come together?

"Miss Zhang, why did you come here today?" Xu Yue asked coldly.

"Look at you, you have a straight face every day, as if someone owes you a few hundred taels of gold." Zhang Zezhen teased Xu Yue.

"I can't come to you if it's okay, didn't I just leave Jinyu Tower? Idle and idle, go around. ”

"I don't think it's that simple, how could Gu Changqing let you go so easily?"

"You really guessed it right, not long ago, Steward Gu came to my house with ten taels of gold and a few jars of wine to apologize."

"Do you agree to go back?"

"Of course not!"

"I thought about setting up a restaurant by myself, so that I didn't have to succumb to others, and I could make money to support my family, and I could deliver food to Dalang at noon."

"Do it yourself? It will be very hard, and the amount of money that needs to be spent in the early stage will not be less. ”

"During this time, I have saved some money by working in Jinyulou, and it should be enough to open a store."

"What about the manpower? You shouldn't be able to keep yourself busy. ”

"Of course, the family will help, what do you think of this idea? Teacher Xu. ”

"I don't understand how to open a restaurant, so I don't express my opinion." Xu Yue said lightly.

"It's boring!"

Seeing such a boring Xu Yue, she also understood why the straight man couldn't find a girlfriend.

The two of them walked around the village like this, and although they had little communication with each other, they were extremely harmonious. Xu Yue felt very comfortable, and Zhang Zezhen also felt very comfortable.

And all this was seen by Xu's mother's maid Xiaohui, and she hurriedly ran back to report to Mrs. Xu.

"It's absolutely impossible! How could my son fall in love with that kind of woman who is five big and three thick! Mother Xu was so angry that she slapped the table directly.

"Madame, it's true! I saw the two of them chatting and walking, like a young couple. ”

"Go and call Childe back, I'm going to ask in person."

"Got it, ma'am."

After Xiaohui finished speaking, she ran out.

"Young Master Xu, Young Master Xu, Madame told you to go home."

"Is there something wrong?" Xu Yue asked with a serious face.

"I said there was an emergency, and I told you to go back immediately!"

After Xu Yue heard this, she said goodbye to Zhang Zezhen: "Miss Zhang, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first!" ”

"Good!"

Seeing this, Zhang Zezhen can also guess that Mrs. Xu must be jealous.

But as a parent, she can understand, she didn't say anything, and turned around and went home.

Xu Yue kept asking Xiaohui on the road what was the matter and why her mother was in a hurry to call her home. But Xiaohui has been hesitant and can't say clearly.

Returning home non-stop, Xu Yue rushed directly into her mother's boudoir.

"Mother, Xiaohui said that you are in a hurry to find your son, what happened?" Xu Yue asked breathlessly.

"It's not a big deal, I heard that Miss Zhao is of marriage age, her mother thinks you are very good, I am also interested, I don't know if you are suitable for ideas?"

Xu Yue listened, and replied to her mother helplessly: "Mother, I don't have such a plan now, let's discuss it after my scientific expedition is over." ”

"Scientific research doesn't prevent you from starting a family. I heard Xiaohui say, you just went out with that Zhang Zezhen, didn't you? ”

"Yes."

"Don't you dislike her? How could you go out with her? ”

"She only came to ask her nephew about his studies, nothing else." Xu Yue subconsciously panicked.

"Oh, I see. By the way, I remember you weren't trying to divorce her? It's been so long, why hasn't there been any news, is she pestering you again? ”

This question made Xu Yue a little speechless, and he didn't know how to answer, because he didn't know when he stopped talking about divorce.

"Recently, the college has been busy, and my son forgot about it, so my mother missed it."

"Really? If it is inconvenient for you to come forward, your mother can go to Zhang's house to withdraw from the marriage on your behalf. ”

"You don't have to worry about it, my son can handle it."

"And the matter of the academy, how can it be so good, and suddenly go to teach? Won't that delay your future? ”

"Confucius: Learn and learn from time to time, don't you also say? I teach what I have learned to more people, both as a mission, as well as a review and practice, how can I delay my future? ”

"Okay, I don't know anything about reading, just think it's good."

"Thank you, Mother."

"By the way, I will have less contact with the Zhang family girl in the future, which will make others see it, and I think you two are really related, and it will be difficult to get out of the marriage when the time comes."

Xu Yue didn't reply, but just said: "If the mother has nothing else, then the son will retire first." ”

"Alright, you go get busy."

Leaving her mother's boudoir, Xu Yue felt a sense of loss in her heart.
