Chapter Thirty-Nine: This Sister City is Extremely Deep
"This, this won't work." Shen Rou almost instinctively refused.
Zhao Fu knew that Shen Rouchu at this time would find it difficult to accept his remarks, but he was not in a hurry to urge Shen Rou to do this, but just put the bag of tea on the table in front of Shen Rou and persuaded: "Miss, forgive me for speaking bluntly, what kind of people are used in what kind of methods, like Song Dezhi and others, it is not too much to use any subordinate means." β
"What's more, there is also Brother Ling's matter here, if you can solve this matter, not only can you take revenge, but also solve the crisis of Chen Ji Tea Shop, wouldn't it be a matter of killing two birds with one stone. At this point, the little one has retired. After saying that, Zhao Fu got up and left directly, but left the bag of tea on the table.
Shen Rou was a little upset in her heart, looked at the tea leaves, and wanted to throw them here, but thought, even if she took them away, it didn't matter, so she took the tea leaves.
After Shen Rou left, a few people came out of a box opposite her, Song De looked at the back of Shen Rou leaving, and couldn't help but sneer: "Idiot." β
"Master, although she took the bag of tea, she may not be able to use it, you see......" The person who spoke had a shrewd face, and it was Zhao Fu who gave Shen Rou advice just now.
"No, as long as she takes away the tea, whether she uses it or not, I have a way to let Chen Ji Tea follow in the footsteps of the Gu family." Song De watched Shen Rou's carriage downstairs slowly leave, stretched out his finger and looked at it, "I really miss this feeling of destroying a person, Gu Yuan would actually value such a stupid sister, she is really as stupid as his father, and it is really boring to be a rival with these flowers in the greenhouse." β
Zhao Fu also looked out the window in the same way as Song De, and then slowly followed Song De and left.
Chen Ji Tea Shop has been closed for a long time, but the smell of food came from the house behind the faΓ§ade at this time, when Shen Rou went back.
I happened to meet Gu Liye who had just come back from outside, carrying a large bag of ingredients in his hand, and if he looked closely, he could also find that there seemed to be some medicine that he had learned from the pharmacy.
Bai Zhi followed her, and she felt very tired just walking.
Gu Lizheng sweated profusely and came out of the kitchen with one exquisite dish after another, and when he saw Shen Rou, Gu Li said: "Xiaorou is back, hurry up and wash your hands, Fifth Brother has made your favorite dish." β
I didn't seem to see Gu Li.
Shen Rou had actually eaten outside, but she didn't want to save the face of the fifth brother, and obviously the two younger sisters were there, but he only greeted Shen Rou, and didn't seem to see Gu Li's appearance, which made Shen Rou very happy.
"Okay fifth brother, do you have a dry roast chicken thigh?" Shen Rou immediately smiled, put down the things she bought in her hand, and rushed up to help.
In fact, Gu Li didn't deliberately ignore Gu Li, the children of the Gu family still had this kind of upbringing, but because when Gu Li came out, Gu Li had disappeared, and all he saw was Shen Rou standing there alone.
Delicate side dishes were served on the table, and several people sat down together, even Bai Zhi.
Gu Yuan said with a smile: "Fifth brother, how can you be interested in cooking today, you rarely cook." β
"I didn't have anything to do at home, so I bought ingredients and came back to make some, and it happened that Xiaorou also came, and I didn't have time to accompany her these days." Gu Li looked at Xiao Rou, and his always serious expression also showed a smile.
Gu Li rolled his eyes and scolded: "Shen Rou has been buying and buying these days, I don't know how happy I am, so I don't need you to accompany me." β
Gu Lun seemed to have something on his mind, and he looked absent-minded all the time.
Chen Jue smiled: "I haven't eaten Xiaoli's dishes for a long time, I'll have a chicken leg first." After speaking, he stretched out his chopsticks and hit a dry-roasted chicken thigh.
"Well, that's a good job." Gu Yuan was already smiling and eating.
Gu Li always felt that Gu Li was alienating her as if she were casually, and there was that kind of scrutinizing gaze at her, as if she wanted to see some secret from her, this kind of gaze made her a little uncomfortable, and she couldn't tell whether she was like this to everyone or only to herself.
Gu Li had no choice but to pretend not to know, sat down, picked up a piece of shredded meat and said with a smile: "Is it really delicious?" I'll taste it. β
Gu Li chewed carefully, then swallowed it again, and smiled with crooked eyebrows: "The taste is really great, how is this done, can you teach me?" β
In fact, this shredded meat is made of some firewood, and the condiments used are not as many as they are now, and the taste is somewhat light.
"It's just an ordinary practice, my sister was born in the General's Mansion, and she must have eaten a lot of good things, and she got an axe in front of her sister." Gu Li still smiled politely and detachedly, and took a chicken leg with chopsticks and put it on the plate in front of Shen Rou.
Shen Rou looked at this big chicken leg and smiled a little reluctantly, she had actually eaten it outside, and she was not hungry at all, but she had to eat the chicken leg that the fifth brother sandwiched.
"I also bought a lot of ingredients today, I originally wanted to show my hand in front of everyone, the fifth brother's cooking is so delicious, can I learn from the fifth brother?" Gu Li looked at Gu Li and smiled cutely.
Sure enough, Gu Li's expression softened, and there was some tenderness in his voice: "Do you really want to learn?" Cooking is not such a simple thing, and you have to endure choking fumes. β
Gu Lun also sandwiched a chicken leg for Gu Li: "The fifth brother is right, Xiaorou has never thought of learning to cook, Xiaoli was born in the General's Mansion, and it is already great to be able to cook, imagine that the fifth brother is so proficient, I am afraid that few people can do it." Xiaoli doesn't have to force herself, you're already great. β
Seeing that not only the second brother, but even the fifth brother, who had always ignored Gu Li, seemed to have a different opinion of Gu Li, Shen Rou's face showed a touch of grievance: "Second brother, do you think I can't cook?" β
"How could the second brother dislike Xiaorou for not being able to cook? Xiaorou was raised by us, and we are reluctant to let Xiaorou do housework. Seeing this, Gu Yuan hurriedly comforted, "Xiao Rou only needs to be pretty and cute, come, eat another chicken leg, I see that you have lost weight." β
Gu Li glanced at Gu Yuan and thought, it was really a sister control.
Gu Yuan in the original book has a desire to control Shen Rou to the point of perversion, and he was the first to discover the true daughter and Yun Yi's affair, but he couldn't do anything about it, he could only watch his sister run to his love.
Thinking of this, Gu Li felt that Gu Yuan was also very pitiful.
So, Gu Yuan thought that his words would make Gu Li very angry, and when he looked up, he saw Gu Li smiling at him, this smile was warm and inclusive, like a little sun, and it suddenly warmed into Gu Yuan's heart.
Gu Yuan was slightly stunned, but quickly lowered his head to eat, hiding the instant gloom in his eyes, no wonder Gu Lun behaved so protective of this sister, she was indeed very deep, Xiao Rou was not her opponent.
But he Gu Yuan will not watch her gain the trust of everyone in the family step by step.
