Female supporting roles rely on food to save themselves

Chapter 625 Curious
Zhou Dong held the bowl and ate peaches bite by bite.

It was sweet and crunchy, and the juice was even richer. Zhou Dong ate it without even lifting his head.

The two yamen servants sitting behind him couldn't help being a little cautious, and they swallowed greedily, after all, they didn't want to appear too greedy in front of a beauty like Gu Xiang.

Zhou Dong knew in his heart what both of them were thinking.

Hey!
Thinking back then, Zhou Dong had to be respectable. With such a fairy figure like Miss Gu, who would not be moved by seeing him?

However, Zhou Dong is actually a kind of pragmatist kind of person. When he still has enough for the young lady of the Gu family, he must maintain a good image in front of others. It's just random.

In front of the moon, what kind of face is important?

Could face be better than this bowl of delicious peaches?

Zhou Dong always loves sweets, he is only a big man, it is hard to reveal it, besides, the conditions of the Zhou family are not ordinary, the best frosted sugar is really unaffordable, his mother can’t make desserts, let him go out If you buy some exquisite dim sum outside, you will be punished by his mother. With that spare money, his mother would definitely be more willing to buy a piece of meat to stew, which is much more affordable than dim sum.

Gu Xiang found a lot of people to taste the taste, and the feedback was good, so he simply took it out and sold it.

The peaches steamed with honey water, together with the soup, are placed in a small white porcelain jar, and the cork is tightly packed. Although I can’t say how good the airtightness is, it’s okay to put it in for a while.

Most of the guests in the inn are passers-by, so it would be great to bring a few jars of peaches with you on the road, which can be used as fruit and as a meal when necessary.

As much as Gu Xiang has been cooking in the past few days, she can sell as much immediately. Although she doesn't earn a lot of delicious food, many of them are not eaten right away, but it was originally to satisfy her own appetite, and even earn some money. Food spots, no matter how much they are, are pure profits.

Zhou Dong took a deep breath before putting his hands on his knees in a respectful manner: "What do you think about the job?"

"See with your eyes."

Gu Xiang smiled lightly.

Zhou Dong came to give her the confession of the 'Little Princess'.

Everyone said that Huazhi County was pedantic, but Gu Xiang was stuffed with this confession by Zhou Dong, and he knew in his heart that Huazhi County was definitely a flexible character. Maybe his pedantry was just for others to see. has his purpose.

This confession is not an ordinary confession, it records all the circumstances of the little princess in detail, and even the various responses of the yamen are recorded according to the date.

Gu Xiang felt that this confession could be used as a template to be sold nationwide.

Huazhi County brought the 'Little Princess' back to the county government office, but he didn't put her in prison. He only set aside a house in the government office to 'shut up' her. She was not allowed to go out, and no one was allowed to communicate with her. , but food, clothing, housing and transportation are all taken care of, so the little princess didn't really fall into the point of being imprisoned.

Every day, Huazhi County sends someone to interrogate her. The person sent is a famous handsome clerk in the county government. Even though this clerk is considered an idiot in terms of knowledge, he has a good face and can speak well.

Gu Xiang didn't know where Huazhi County knew that the "little princess" preferred men like clerks, and he specially used handsome men to trick him. Of course, he also asked the special interrogators in the yamen to ask.

After glancing at the confession, Gu Xiang blinked and said with a smile, "It's quite interesting."

Zhou Dong said in a low voice: "The magistrate of Hua County has already repaired a letter and went to Beijing for inspection, but our Tao Town is quite far from the capital, and Hua Zhi County does not have the privilege of giving a secret report. It is always a bit troublesome, and it may take some time."

In this confession, the little princess is tight-lipped about her origins, such as who her mother is, whether she has brothers and sisters, where is her hometown, what relatives and friends she has, how she knows that she is the legacy of the Eight Sage Kings, and so on. He refuses to say anything, is very alert, and has a particularly strong sense of vigilance.

But she naturally revealed some understanding of the Eighth Prince's Mansion in the capital. She knew that the Eighth Prince's favorite study was commonly called "Shuangguang", and even knew the origin of the name - the day the Eighth Prince's study was built, he His pockets are empty, and so is his largest warehouse.

Those books alone have wiped out the Eight Sage King's family property, so he sighed and gave his study such a common name.

But this kind of thing is only known to the people in the eight sages' mansion, outsiders definitely don't know.

Perhaps His Majesty, the Queen Mother and others have heard similar gossip.

As for the little lady who grew up in Quanzhou thousands of miles away, why she knew this news is worth pondering.

It's no wonder that Hua Zhixian obviously felt that this "Little Princess" was really not true, but he still didn't dare to make a conclusion rashly, so he insisted on writing a letter and going to Beijing to ask.

Gu Xiang smiled: "If there is a follow-up, let me know, I am very curious."

Zhou Dong: "..."

He always felt that Huazhi County did not send this confession to satisfy Miss Gu's curiosity.

It's just that he is a vulgar person, he never understands the minds of the big men above him, so he only cares about doing things, as for the deep meaning inside, he doesn't understand, and he doesn't want to understand.

It was getting late at this time.

Zhou Dong took three jars of peaches with him when he left, and went back to honor his mother and his wife.

Recently his daughter-in-law became pregnant, so his mother came to Tao Town to help take care of her. When Zhou Dong came home, he saw the white and fat daughter-in-law lying on the bed, with no image at all, and a layer of oil was still oozing from her face. But he couldn't help but smile.

How about the moon in the sky?

it is good.

But the one in front of him is the world.

In the past few days, some people have always said strange things in front of him, implicitly hinting that although the divorce was discussed by the two families, it is actually Miss Gu who is climbing high and looking down on him.

Words are much worse than this.

But Zhou Dong is a very face-saving man, even if he is not instigated to do something, he still feels uncomfortable, at least he has to look after Miss Gu who is not pleasing to the eye.

Zhou Dong didn't know what these people wanted to do, but he knew that those who said this must have bad intentions.

Gu Xiang lingers in Tao Town to do her peach business, and along the way nourishes Gu Han with various soups and waters every day.

Not long after, Gu Han's weight actually increased by more than six catties, and his face became round and rosy, and he was no longer pale and haggard.

Jiang Shi was very happy: "That's great."

She said it more than ten times a day, and Xiao Zhang rolled her eyes when she heard it: "I have to take a full three chickens to make soup every day, I also eat shark fins, what kind of bird's nest do I need to eat, five meals a day of fruit, There are three kinds of vegetables for every meal, so it’s no surprise that she has gained six catties.”

Mrs. Zhang loves her daughter dearly, and is worried as hell, but at first she felt sorry for her daughter's suffering, but now she is worried that after her injury is healed, she will become a ball, not to mention, I am afraid she will never be able to marry again.

Hey.

With a younger sister offering such delicious food and drinks, and always thinking of her, what man in this world is worth entrusting to her for life?
