"That, that's not looking. The son washes first, and will go to the yamen for duty later. Mama Yin hurriedly replied.

Zhou Du went to the well silently, fetched water by himself, washed up, changed into a set of clothes and went out.

Mama Yin took two buns and chased them out, but Zhou Du didn't answer them, and got into the carriage by herself.

In desperation, Mama Yin handed over the breakfast to Qi Zhiyuan.

Qi Zhiyuan has been with Zhou Du for many years, and he has never seen his master so decadent. Obviously, when he came to him last night, Childe was still in high spirits, looking forward to the date with Miss Gu on the twenty-day.

Why did one night pass, and Childe seemed to be robbed of his life?

Until Zhou Dui entered the official office, Qi Zhiyuan failed to deliver the breakfast to Zhou Dui.

When dealing with official business, Zhou Du was also absent-minded. Other colleagues saw it in their eyes, and it happened that Xu Yanqing wanted to come over to check the file book of Jixianglou, and he saw Zhou Duan's haggard look, and his eyes froze.

"Lord Zhou didn't rest last night, okay?" Xu Yanqing rarely asked more.

I really know Zhou Dui these days, Zhou Dui has always been alienated from people, and with the message that people should not be close, it is the first time he has seen Zhou Dui's such a decadent side.

is obviously such a clean and outstanding person.

Zhou Ducai and Gu Xiyan are married, shouldn't they be high-spirited?

That's the kind of person he can't touch, no matter how much he thinks about it.

"It's fine." Zhou Dui's gaze was fixed on Xu Yanqing's face, with scrutiny.

He suddenly thought that if he and Gu Xiyan divorced, Xu Yanqing would definitely marry her. He could feel that Xu Yanqing liked Gu Xiyan very much.

If Xu Yanqing marries Gu Xiyan, Gu Xiyan will have a complete and happy marriage, at least she doesn't need to be a widow.

But he couldn't imagine the picture of her leaning on the arms of other men and laughing happily, he was not so open-minded, and he could push her into the arms of other men on the premise of liking Gu Xiyan so much......

Xu Yanqing's scalp was numb from Zhou Dui's cold eyes, and people who didn't know thought that he had robbed Zhou Dui's woman, otherwise how could Zhou Dui slowly slap him with knife-like eyes?

In fact, it was Zhou Du who snatched Gu Xiyan, and this person was embarrassed to use this kind of cannibalistic look to rip him off.

"I—I'll look up some information, and I'll be gone soon." After Xu Yanqing finished speaking, he deliberately avoided Zhou Dui's sharp gaze.

But no matter how much he dodged, Zhou Dui's cold gaze still followed.

When he found the Jixiang Building's record book, he hurriedly walked away from Zhou Dui's sight.

Hell, he was actually a little stunned by Zhou Dusk, obviously Zhou Dusk looked harmless.

It took him a while to shake off his thoughts, check the file book of Jixiang Building, and find that the shopkeeper who registered the book was indeed Wu Tong.

And this information is ten years old, not recent.

In other words, the shopkeeper of Jixiang Building has been Wu Tong since the establishment of the restaurant.

But his intuition told him that Gu Xiyan and Wu Tong must have a close relationship, and he even thought about whether it would be Gu Xiyan who was really in charge of Jixianglou.

When he first saw Gu Xiyan, he saw Wu Tong's respectful look of groveling to Gu Xiyan, and at that time he didn't quite understand why Wu Tong respected Gu Xiyan so much.

But if the guy salutes the shopkeeper, doesn't it make sense?

This time, the food festival of Jixianglou was held so successfully, and it earned about 300,000 taels in two days, right? If there is no key figure in this, Gu Xiyan, many prices cannot be speculated.

He also deliberately went to some diners to ask how the pastry business started at the beginning, and it turned out that Gu Xiyan and the Liu family sisters fried it together, but in just over half an hour, hundreds of boxes of palace secret pastries were sold.

Because of Gu Xiyan, a key person, Jixianglou earned a full 20,000 taels by selling pastries.

So if Gu Xiyan is eliminated, who will buy a box of fifty taels of pastries? If it weren't for Gu Xiyan's deliberate stimulation, would the county lord of Yongjia spend 100,000 taels to bid for a dish?

Zhou Du only reacted after Xu Yanqing left, and found a colleague who was looking through the information next to him and asked, "What information did Lord Xu take away?" ”

"The record book of Jixiang Building." The colleague answered truthfully.

Zhou Dui's eyes narrowed.

Xu Yanqing is also checking Jixianglou, which shows that he also suspects that there are people behind Wu Tong.

In the past two days, he watched the whole process of the auction of Jixianglou, and it was Gu Xiyan who played a key role, and he suspected that the relationship between Gu Xiyan and Wu Tong was not simple, and he was deliberately helping Wu Tong build momentum.

It was because he had checked the records of Jixianglou early in the morning, and also checked Wu Tong's life history, and found that Wu Tong and Gu Xiyan did not have any kinship, and the shopkeeper registered in Jixianglou was also Wu Tong, or the registration record ten years ago, not recently.

He had suspicions, and Xu Yanqing was also suspicious, otherwise he would not have deliberately checked Jixianglou.

In the end, Gu Xiyan is the behind-the-scenes shopkeeper of Jixiang Building.

Thinking of this possibility, Zhou Du felt ridiculous. That girl looks so quiet, how could it be that she is leading the food festival?

But another voice in his heart told him that the girl had a lot of secrets, and even the day before the food festival, she was so late that she was caught by him.

If the place she went to was Jixianglou, and she couldn't let people know her true destination, then she had to find an excuse? So she lied that she went to Su Mansion to meet Su Mei.

In this way, all the doubts seem to be explained.

If it was really what he thought, it showed that Gu Xiyan earned 300,000 taels in two days, which is staggering.

Yes, that day in the carriage, she also asked if the shopkeeper behind Jixianglou was a beauty, would he take a fancy to it, and he replied that it was impossible, and the girl was not happy.

Thinking of this, he was most likely sure that Gu Xiyan was the one behind Wu Tong's advice.

Colleagues endured Zhou Dui's cold face for most of the hour. As soon as I turned around after looking for the file book this time, I saw that Zhou Du was actually smiling with the corners of his lips curled.

Since Zhou Dui entered the official office as an errand boy, he has been a beautiful scenery whenever and wherever he is, just because his temperament is too outstanding and he looks very handsome, but he has never seen Zhou Dui smile.

At this moment, Zhou Du smiled, like an epiphany blooming, and it was thrillingly beautiful.

The word "beauty" is used on a man, and it actually fits very well.

As his colleagues were fascinated, the corners of Zhou Dui's raised lips suddenly flattened, and he returned to his ice face, so cold that he could frostbite a few people. Although it is still the same handsome face, it makes people dare not get close.

Zhou Duan also realized in hindsight that no matter how good Gu Xiyan was, he was not to blame. She deserves a full life, if she follows him, what kind of life will she live?

Can't round house, can't be a mother, what woman can endure such a life?

——

Xu San: I was robbed of the woman I like by Zhou Dui, and I have to be gouged out by Zhou Dui's vicious eyes, Zhou Dui is seriously ill, right?

Serious Illness Zhou Dui: I can marry Xiyan even if I am sick, so you should be jealous!
