After the rebirth of Madam Hou Clan, her heart was sealed with cement

Chapter 122: Understanding each other and testing each other

As soon as Tan Zhixu sat down, the Duke's wife looked at her with a smile.

"Second Madam, I heard that these snacks are all made by you. I know you are good at business, but I didn't expect you to be so good at cooking."

"Madam, you are overrated. A commoner woman is just good at it."

Tan Zhixu's modesty even attracted the approval of the Duke's wife, who smiled slightly and said, "Madam, in fact, these snacks are quite suitable to be placed at the old lady's birthday banquet, but the pattern of the snacks is not suitable for civilian women. Many, these models are pretty good.”

She put forward her opinion, and when she looked at the Duke's wife again, she happened to meet her smile.

"Second Madam, no wonder I like you, your ideas coincide with mine."

Unexpectedly, the Duke's wife also had a favorite snack, and by chance, the one she chose with Tan Zhixu was the same as what she wanted.

After selecting the snacks, the next step is to prepare various dishes. This is a big project. Tan Zhixu and the Duke's wife are so busy every day that they leave early and come back late, and they have to take some time to inspect the shop.

Guyu looked at his girl's pale face and felt extremely distressed. After nightfall, she waited in front of the bed and said, "Girl, you can't be so busy anymore. Look at your face, it's even smaller."

Tan Zhixu was reading the account book. When she heard Gu Yu's words, she frowned slightly. When she raised her head again, she met Gu Yu's worried eyes.

Seeing this, Tan Zhixu quickly put down the account book in his hand and looked at Gu Yu seriously, "I'm fine."

"Girl, look how pale your face is. Do you believe it?"

Gu Yu handed the bronze mirror to Tan Zhixu, and she took a look. Under the candlelight, her face in the bronze mirror was really frighteningly white.

Fortunately, it was night. If it were daytime, I guess good people would be scared to death if they saw her like this.

"How about it? You don't believe it yourself, do you?"

Guyu sighed and put the bronze mirror back, "Girl, you have to pay more attention to your body. Don't collapse from exhaustion like Mr. Gu."

"Gu Huaijing fell down from exhaustion?" Tan Zhixu was sitting down at first, but now he stood up.

When Tan Zhixu looked at Gu Yu nervously, she pinched herself hard to stop herself from laughing. It turned out that what Teng Xi said was true.

"Ah."

Gu Yu nodded solemnly, and Tan Zhixu became visibly nervous. After a while, she raised her eyes and looked at Gu Yu, "How's it going?"

"Not too good..."

For the next quarter of an hour, Gu Yu chatted a lot, but Tan Zhixu turned a deaf ear and seemed to be distracted.

"girl?"

Tan Zhixu came back to his senses and looked at Gu Yu expressionlessly, "Go and have a look."

"Yes."

Tan Zhixu didn't even make excuses, and just said to go take a look. Gu Yu didn't stop her. She suppressed a smile, changed Tan Zhixu's clothes, and went straight to Gu's house.

At that time, Teng Xi on the other side stood in front of Gu Huaijing with a sigh.

His voice was so loud that Gu Huaijing couldn't concentrate on his official duties at all. He put away the book and said, "If you have anything to say, just tell me."

"Master, you don't know that Miss Tan is ill, very seriously. Ever since we met at the dock that day, Miss Tan hasn't gotten better. It's really miserable."

Every word Teng Xi expressed her heartache for Tan Zhixu, and she didn't forget to peek at Gu Huaijing while talking.

By the time Teng Xi finished speaking, Gu Huaijing's face was extremely expressionless.

"Go and see."

"Yes."

Hearing Gu Huaijing say to go take a look, Teng Xi was relieved instantly, fearing that he would regret it, so he left the bedroom first.

When the two of them arrived outside the courtyard, the horses were ready.

The two rode horses, Teng Xi deliberately slowed down the pace according to the agreement with Gu Yu, but Gu Huaijing was in a hurry. When they were approaching the middle street, Teng Xi reined in the reins instantly.Gu Huaijing noticed the movement behind him and also stopped his horse.

Teng Xi dismounted immediately, "Master, look, is that Miss Tan?"

He was so happy that he was stuck at just the right time.

At this moment, Gu Yu also stopped the carriage, "Girl, I think I saw Mr. Gu."

"Gu Huaijing?"

Tan Zhixu looked at Gu Yu in disbelief, and before Gu Yu could answer she had already got off the carriage.

Gu Huaijing, who was on the opposite side, was also coming this way.

Both of them were looking at each other, and neither of them saw Gu Yu and Teng Xi flirting.

Tan Zhixu frowned and looked at Gu Huaijing. His thin clothes could not cover his body, and his face did not look good.

"Master Gu, if you feel unwell, you should take more rest."

"Aren't you?"

Gu Huaijing's face became even more ugly when he heard Tan Zhixu's words. He took a step forward and approached her, "Why don't you take care of yourself? How much money did the Duke's government give you? Why do you work so hard?"

Tan Zhixu's expression was not very good at first. When she heard Gu Huaijing's words, she frowned and said, "Mr. Gu, do you think civilian women are people who risk their lives for money?"

"Of course not, it's just..."

"I'm worried about you. When my master heard that you were feeling unwell, he didn't care about his own injuries."

Teng Xi and Gu Yu met at the market this morning, and after talking with each other, they found out that their master was not doing well recently.

Gu Huaijing's previous injury was indeed fine, but he was busy all day and ignored himself, and now his body couldn't bear it at all, and Tan Zhixu was even more so.

They looked at each other and finally came up with such an idea.

Originally, they wanted to see if their respective masters still cared about each other, but there was no need to try, it was obvious that they did.

When Tan Zhixu heard Teng Xi's words, his brows couldn't relax.

Gu Huaijing gave Teng Xi a shut-up look before looking at Tan Zhixu, "I hope the second lady will take good care of herself. If something happens to you, who will take care of the goods at the Houfu pier?"

"Yes, civilian women should remember Master Gu's teachings."

Tan Zhixu nodded, hesitating again and again and took out the purse in his arms, "The herbs in this purse are for soothing the mind. Mr. Gu has taken good care of the Hou Mansion in the past. This is a thank you gift from a civilian woman. Please look after me." Don’t be disgusted, sir.”

At this point, Tan Zhixu lowered his head and handed out the purse.

Gu Huaijing looked at the purse in Tan Zhixu's hand, raised his lips slightly, and then put the purse away, "Thank you, Madam."

"It's getting late, Mr. Gu, if there's nothing else, the woman will leave first."

"Girl, don't you want to visit Mr. Gu? Are you leaving as soon as you see him?"

Gu Yu looked confused.

God knows, when Tan Zhixu heard what Gu Yu said, he wanted to slap this damn girl. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Don't talk nonsense and go back quickly."

"Oh."

Gu Yu looked at Tan Zhixu helplessly and followed her to the carriage. When passing by Gu Huaijing, Gu Yu paused deliberately and leaned forward, "Mr. Gu, my girl has never changed. She always has you in her heart." .”

"Gu Yu."

When Tan Zhixu got to the carriage, she didn't see Gu Yu following her. She looked over and saw that this girl was whispering to Gu Huaijing. Her heart dropped and she quickly called her over.
