After dressing up as the wife of the hero of the imperial examination, I ran away

Chapter 59 Much the same
"Third Aunt, the guests ask if the Roujiamo is ready?"

Gu Ruotong walked to the back kitchen and asked with a smile while holding the menu.

"All the guests came early today, and there is also a big customer who said that he wants to order a hundred Roujiamo from our house, the kind that will be ordered as soon as it is finished."

After she finished speaking, she took out a tael of silver and handed it to Su Xiaomu: "The customer said that we can spend the rest of the money as we like, it doesn't matter if it's enough or not."

"Okay, let him wait for a while, we will start making buns now."

Su Xiaomu helped stuff the meat into the steamed bun, she saw that it was almost done, so she asked Yin to take over the work she was doing, and she had to go to the academy to deliver ice powder.

I don't know if it's because of the hot weather that the college students have a great demand for ice powder. Some people want two bowls, and some people have to bring it for friends. After making a reservation, she actually has to carry two buckets of ice powder tomorrow. Come here to sell.

"Okay, then let's follow the old rules, each bowl is one penny more expensive than in the store."

She collected the money they ordered for ice powder, stuffed the bowls and chopsticks into the bucket and took them away.

He went back to the shop with a bag of copper coins, but before he could enter the door, Su Xiaomu saw Gu Jingcheng sitting at the door drinking ice powder.

Perhaps he was really hot, the back of his long gown was soaked with sweat, and the broken hair on his forehead was a little wet against his scalp, but even though he looked a little embarrassed, his face was still handsome.

She stood at the door and looked at him, her thoughts suddenly divergent.

The words that Gu Jingcheng accused her of yesterday are still in her ears.

What he meant was that she was too deviant, and that money was more important than her own life.

He hoped that she could live a more stable life, and it would be best if she abandoned her business and went home to farm honestly.

Whether it's helping him take care of his family, or helping him with housework, the above are better than her smelling like copper in the city.

In fact, the thinking of men in this era is like this, she can't blame Gu Jingcheng for anything.

Women don't have the right to speak here at all. If it wasn't because the Gu family wanted him to study, if it wasn't because life at home was really hard, Mrs. Li would not have allowed her daughter-in-law to come out to do business in public.

But generally speaking, Su Xiaomu must also admit that compared to ordinary men in this era, Gu Jingcheng is much better.

At least his disapproval was just a verbal negation of her.

He neither said anything wrong about her in front of Mrs. Li, nor did she do any tricks behind the scenes to affect her business.

But Su Xiaomu still couldn't understand him if he knew it.

In her life, she didn't want to live like other women in this era.

She has to become strong in order to change other people's stereotypes of women.

So she is going to part ways with the Gu family after all, and now, the two of them can just make do with each other.

She would take the initiative to tell him what to understand and understand the difficulty of women, but she would never allow him to obstruct her from realizing her dream!
What Su Xiaomu expected was actually very simple.

She just hopes to achieve financial freedom here and live a free, comfortable and happy life.

Don't be burdened by the world, and make decisions for yourself.

But Gu Jingcheng didn't know that Su Xiaomu watched him at the door for a long time.

After school today, he rushed to the shop directly, walking in such a hurry that he didn't tell Zhou Lin that he was coming.

Although what happened yesterday has passed, he is still worried that those local hooligans may come to make trouble.

Although he can't do much, if there is a man in the shop, those local hooligans will think a little more.

After all, Su Xiaomu is his wife in name, and besides her, there are his sister-in-law and two nieces in this shop.

"What are you thinking about so preoccupied?"

Su Xiaomu put the Rougamo and pancakes on his table, and brought him another bowl of ice powder with a thick layer of brown syrup poured on it.

"Sir, look at your sweat. The sun is so poisonous that it makes you suffer."

Su Xiaomu knew that Yin Shi was looking this way, so he deliberately cared about Gu Jingcheng with a smile on his face.

Her gentle voice rang in her ears.

At this moment, Gu Jingcheng couldn't tell whether it was her deliberate softness or the natural softness of her voice.

There was a gentle and serene smile on her face.

The sunlight coming in from the window coated her curved neck with a layer of warm color, her body was slender and soft, and now exuded a faint fragrance.

It smells like wheat and fruit, and it smells so good that it makes people stunned unconsciously.

He didn't reply for a long time, Su Xiaomu was about to lower his head to look at him strangely, when he caught a glimpse of Yin Shi returning to the back kitchen from the corner of his eye.

When no one was watching, she stopped pretending.

She instantly relaxed and squinted at Gu Jingcheng, with a hint of scrutiny.

"Why are you here alone today? Ha, do you want to watch the excitement of the shop, or do you want to watch the excitement of me?"

She lowered her head, looked at the ice powder he had finished drinking, and raised her eyebrows again.

"It's very hot outside. Going out in such a big sun, you must have made a lot of sacrifices to watch the excitement."

"That's how you see me."

He glanced at her lightly, with a cold look in his eyes: "You are simply unreasonable."

"Whatever you say, I made these things specially for you. You have a share of this shop. You don't have to pay for it when you come here to eat."

"Since the door is open for business, there is no reason for customers not to pay."

Gu Jingcheng counted out the copper coins and slapped them on the table, and he said a few words coldly through the gap between his teeth: "You're welcome."

After all, he stood up and left without any hesitation.

On the way back, Gu Jingcheng thought as he walked, that his mother should really show Su Xiaomu what he looks like now.

All day long, she is said to be gentle, gentle, well-behaved and sensible. Is she so sensible?

If you can't say a few words to her, you will be choked up and have nothing to answer.

I don't know how she has been able to pretend for so long in front of his mother with such a temperament.

And Su Xiaomu didn't care what he was thinking.

While taking care of Jingcheng's used bowls and chopsticks, she pursed her lips and complained in her heart.

Tsk, anyway, as long as you don't stop me from doing business, otherwise I won't have such a good temper now.

She put away the bowls and chopsticks, and Yin Shi looked this way again, Su Xiaomu said with a smile when he saw this: "My husband said that he is busy with his studies these days, so the master of the academy will keep an eye on him."

"Then reading is really important. Shall we go deliver some food to Uncle San tomorrow?"

Yin Shi was kneading the dough under his hand, all eyes and hearts were full of consideration for Gu Jingcheng.

But Su Xiaomu didn't like him, she said directly: "It's too troublesome to deliver food, if my husband is really hungry, he can come to the shop to eat.

Besides, there are people coming and going at the gate of the academy, and we deliver meals every day, which will inevitably cause people to gossip. "

The most important thing is that she doesn't want to see Gu Jingcheng every day. She doesn't want to have a hot face with a cold butt.

"That makes sense. It's not too far from the academy."

Yin Shi thought about it for a while and it was indeed the case. Li Shi had told them many times before, don't disturb third uncle's study.

Don't let the third uncle lose face in front of the students of the academy.

After all, compared with the people in the city, they are nothing from farmers.
