Doting on concubines and destroying wives? I don’t want to be the mistress of the Hou clan anymore.

Chapter 72 Opening a Store

Seeing Gu Zhao pouting and walking out, and the fragments of the cup serving tea in the flower hall could be seen vaguely, Lin Miaofu sighed inwardly, fearing that Gu Zhao would encounter something he couldn't accept again.

Gu Zhao could calmly accept the fact that Gu Xicheng, the brave prince, did not like him, but he could not accept that Gu Xicheng had no feelings for Mrs. Jiang.

"Your Majesty." Lin Miaofu bowed. The two had already written a marriage letter and should not be able to see each other during this period. However, due to Lou Yun's request, Lin Miaofu made an exception and invited Gu Zhao over.

I shouldn't have taken my eldest brother away just to avoid suspicion.

Gu Zhao raised his hand to support her, but instead of letting her salute, he said, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

There was a softness on his face, and the anger just now seemed to be suppressed.

Lin Miaofu held his sleeve with her backhand and said ambiguously: "Master, don't take everything at face value... When you encounter an unknown fruit on the road, if you want to know its taste, you can only know it by taking a bite of it yourself, or... Ask anyone who knows this fruit..."

"But everyone's favorite taste is not the same. If you can be sure that it is non-toxic, you can try it yourself. If no one knows you but you really want to eat it, you can only take the risk and try it yourself... But we can still use the fruit grower's experience to reduce your own risk.”

"You think so?"

Lin Miaofu didn't know what Lou Yun said, but she could tell that Gu Zhao was very dissatisfied with what Lou Yun said, and even expressed his anger. However, according to her understanding of Lou Yun, he would not say something that was not based on the facts. thing.

"But what if it's a rotten fruit?" Gu Zhao looked at Lin Miaofu coldly.

That icy coldness made Lin Miaofu's heart tremble.

"If people are going to starve to death, no matter whether the fruit is rotten or not, as long as it can satisfy their hunger, they will naturally eat it."

Gu Zhao looked at Lin Miaofu's calm and calm posture, and he didn't know if she knew about this.

But this rumor would damage his uncle's reputation and he couldn't say it.

Just said: "I know."

He strode away and wanted to discuss it with his staff.

But my mood has eased. Although I still don't believe that my uncle would do this, I plan to investigate it carefully.

If he were to find out who was smearing his uncle behind the scenes, he would definitely make those people look good.

Lin Miaofu raised her eyes and saw a trace of murderous intent flashing in Gu Zhaohan's star-like eyes, and she hurriedly lowered her head and pretended not to know.

After seeing Gu Zhao to the door, Lin Miaofu said with a smile: "My parents will come to Kyoto in a few days, and they will inevitably have to discuss your marriage. The prince must set aside time."

"it is good."

Both of them are very open about their marriage.

Lin Qiyuan sent Gu Zhao out, and when he came back, he looked at Lin Miaofu with a frown and said nothing.

Lin Miaofu was tired of looking at her, so she waved her handkerchief and was about to leave.

"Hey, sister, why are you leaving?"

"You stare at me and don't say anything. It makes me uncomfortable. Can't I leave?"

Lin Qiyuan sighed again, suddenly feeling that there were some words that no longer needed to be said, and said with a dull head, "I'd better go out and do some work."

Before going out, I rubbed my head vigorously, as if I had a headache. In fact, he felt that this marriage was not appropriate, and he did not dare to tell his parents about it truthfully. He also felt that the way the two of them got along was not like a couple, but more like friends...

At least, when Liang Yuqi came to the house in the past, his sister always looked at him with a shy and timid look, which is how a wife looks at her husband.

Lin Miaofu didn't want to know Lin Qiyuan's inner thoughts, and she didn't bother to care. After all, there was still this stunned Lou Zhang sitting in the flower hall, and she had to find a way to cheer him up.

It's also a headache.

Lou Jian was in a daze in the flower hall. Lin Miaofu deliberately increased the sound of her footsteps when she came in, but did not wake it up. She could only call him out.

"Miss." Lou Chang came to his senses and hurriedly stood up to salute Lin Miaofu. At this time, Lin Miaofu discovered that his body was wet, as if he had been splashed with tea.

As if aware of Lin Miaofu's gaze, Lou Chang blushed and said hurriedly: "I'm sorry, I'm going to change clothes first."

Lin Miaofu smiled and shook her head, and was a little curious about what Lou Chang said and why she made Gu Zhao so angry.

In Lin Miaofu's mind, Gu Zhao had always been calm and self-possessed, so how could he do such a disgraceful thing.

However, even if Lin Miaofu was curious, she would not take the initiative to ask about it.

She didn't want to get involved in this dispute for the time being.

Lou Jian changed her clothes and hurried back to the flower hall. The place had been tidied up. Lin Miaofu sat in the main seat, looked at Lou Chang and said: "I have already agreed with my brother about opening a pen and ink shop. When the time comes, I will be the shopkeeper from the second shopkeeper of the Wenwan shop."

Lin Miaofu took a sip of tea and spoke slowly. Her tone was the same as before. It was not different because he had just been scolded by Gu Zhao.

"It's just that this is just a business on the surface after all. As for the usury money, I haven't decided who will arrange it yet." Lin Miaofu said a little apologetically: "The Mid-Autumn Festival is over and the New Year is here. I thought If we open the shop before the end of the year, I’m afraid I’ll still have to worry about this matter, sir.”

"You really have to arrange the shop before the end of the year. It's a time when money is spent most of the time, so it's just the right time to get the news out." Lou Yan said seriously: "If the eldest lady doesn't have a suitable candidate, I'll let the old man help me temporarily. If you don't wait too long, Take your time looking for candidates.”

After talking about the pen and ink shop, Lou Chang told the news he had learned during the day.

"...There is indeed something fishy about this matter. The government officials have received two different orders. One group is investigating the case seriously, and the other group is specifically watching Mr. Liang and causing him some discomfort from time to time. "

"How did Liang Yuqi act?"

"He is still stable. I just heard that he went to Ji's house."

Lou Jian looked at Lin Miaofu and said hesitantly: "I also found out that the Liang family wanted to get married to the Ji family, but this matter was kept secret, and there was no news about it for a while. I also have a close relationship with these two families. I found out after looking into this aspect.”

"Is it the Ji family who is one of the thirteen Jinshi?" Lin Miaofu was a little surprised: "How could they like Liang Yuqi?"

"This...I don't know either."

Lou Yang has only been in the capital for a short period of time, so it is already good to find out these things, and he has not had time to check them carefully.

Lin Miaofu frowned and recalled that Liang Yuqi had no contact with the Ji family in her previous life.

Liang Yuqi felt that he came from a distinguished family and looked down on those acid Confucian scholars.

Moreover, the prince's children already have their own circle, and the Qingliu people don't bother to associate with them. The boundaries are very clear. I really can't figure out what is the reason for them to get together?
"We need to investigate this matter and see how they met. Qingliu Wenchen took the initiative to get involved with the children of the aristocratic family. There must be a reason."
