Chapter 86.2: 計劃
[Plan]
Madam Chen’s eyes stared fixedly at Butler Wu, her tone of voice sternly as she said: “You go find out about the things and tell me in full detail, if there is the slightest concealment, you know the consequences.”
Butler Wu is naturally aware of it or else just now when Madam Chen asked, he would not have opened his mouth. Hearing Mrs Chen’s words now, he simply carried it through, whatever the consequences; in for a penny, in for a pound as he told all the things that he had found out, and also the quoted price that the old master had asked him to find out.
When Butler Wu finished, knowing that the small restaurant, even in one day had so much income, even Madam Chen was surprised, even began to think that the reason why Old Master Chen will focus on that small restaurant is also a matter of course.
Madam Chen looked at below, finished talking, Butler Wu who anxiously looked at himself,waved his hand and directly said: “Today I called you here just to ask about the expenses of the house, do not need the rest.”
“Yes, yes, I know, thia subordinate definitely would not say anything.”
Waiting until Butler Wu was taken down, Mrs Chen just looked at the tea on the table and thought out of the blue, a small restaurant that only opens for a few hours a day, can earn so much money, relying on those food formulas. If those things can belong to their Chen family to use, let them expand the manpower, she thinks the benefits can be even greater. At this moment, Mrs Chen’s thoughts coincided (happen to hold the same view) with those of Master Chen.
Thinking of the look on Gu Lang’s face when he came back here, neither haughty nor humble, only asked for the return of the betrothal gifts (from the bridegroom’s family to the bride’s); bride price. Mrs Chen laughed coldly and murmured: ”I have underestimated you, if I had known that you had this kind of ability at the beginning, it would not have been impossible for our Chen family to return the betrothal gift. It’s not impossible for our Chen family to also marry our daughter to you, why would we let that bastard take advantage?”
Madam Chen looked at the tea stems floating in the tea cup, thought of her persistent daughter, suddenly felt that this daughter of hers who did not follow the rules was not too useless, she laughed gently, “However, now it seems that it is not too late. There are some mistakes that can be corrected in time.”
On the counter of the small restaurant,
After buying and handling the rabbits from that old man, Chen Xing could not find anything else to do, and could only lie there boredly waiting for Gu Lang to come back, casually collecting money.
Just when Chen Xing had his hands resting on his chin looking at the pedestrians passing by on the street, wondering for the umpteenth time what Gu Lang had gone to do and when he would come back, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he stood up with his hands on the counter.
When Chen Xing saw that Gu Lang was back, she saw that Gu Lang was wearing the white long clothes that he was used to wearing, and his long black hair was tied at the top of his head with only a simple hairpin, it was obviously a simple outfit, but because of his outstanding temperament, he was particularly conspicuous among the people.
When Chen Xing was unconsciously happy because of Gu Lang’s arrival, Gu Lang, who was walking slowly towards this side, as if he had sensed him, lifted his eyes and looked in his direction, and then looked at Chen Xing’s bright eyes that staring at himself, as if he was staring at a small puppy with a meat bone, and then he immediately burst out a laugh.
The distance from the shop is not very far, less than an incense stick work, Gu Lang had entered the shop, came to the side of Chen Xing.
Chen Xing waited for Gu Lang to come closer before discovering that Gu Lang also carries a bamboo basket on his back, where there seems to be something else. He was a bit curious, he wanted to ask Gu Lang where he had been all day, and what was in the box. However, when he looked at Gu Lang, who had put down his belongings, he was too embarrassed to ask. He was afraid that if he asked, Gu Lang would think that he cared too much.
But Gu Lang seems to understand his mind in general, looking at him and directly asking: “What is it, is there something you want to ask me?”
Chen Xing looked at Gu Lang, turned and nodded his head unnaturally, and then awkwardly asked him a question. He then felt that he was a little too broad, and hastened to make up for himself: “If you don’t want to say, you can not answer me, I don’t have to know.”
Gu Lang, however, looked at Chen Xing, who was trying to defend himself, raised his hand and gently touched his head, and said in a gentle voice: “What do you want to know? Come and ask me directly, I will tell you. To me, there is nothing that you can not ask.”
Chen Xing pursed her lips, he did not know why he felt somewhat shy. After waiting for morning, his restless heart, all of a sudden was soothed down.
Gu Lang put down the hand stroking Chen Xing, opened the cover of the things he carried on the back, let Chen Xing see clearly the goods as he slowly explained: “This morning, the bookstore’s shopkeeper had an emergency. He let me go to help, and I left in a hurry. These are the boss’s thank you gifts to me.”
Chen Xing looked at the pen, ink, paper and ink stone placed there, although he could not see the quality of the material, he could feel that they were some good things, so he nodded his head and said happily for Gu Lang, “Then you have to keep it well, so that you don’t have to buy it yourself if you need it in the future.”
“Hn.” Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing who stopped asking questions after saying this sentence, and smiled along with him.
“By the way, I bought a rabbit from an old man today when went into the city, the fur of that rabbit is very thick, I asked Qiu Jiu to get the rabbit’s skin for me and send it to the tailor’s shop, so that they can make a handguard for you after they finish it, so that you can have a hand warmer in winter. Your hands are cold at night in the summer and will be even colder in the winter, so it would be better for us to make preparations early. I made an appointment with the hunter, let him bring me any prey to take a look at, and then we will see if there are any suitable skins, and see if we can make something else.”
Gu Lang listened to this Ger in front of him, listening to his endless chatter, listening to his serious plans for their future, his face did not have a little bit of impatience, and even from the beginning to the end with a little bit of a pampering smile. He did not tell him that in the uninhabited courtyards of the Gu family, there were a large number of rare items piled up, among which there were several boxes of winter coats made of rare and treasured silver fox fur.
Gu Lang only revealed a gentle smile towards Chen Xing when he finished talking about these and asked for his opinion, and answered with a low voice, “Good.”
Chen Xing happily finished talking about his morning’s routine, before suddenly realizing that he had said too much, his cheeks flushed a little as he looked at Gu Lang, somewhat embarrassed as he said, “That…did I say too much?”
Gu Lang shook his head, stared at his eyes and said with extra seriousness, “No, I am very happy that you can take such trouble for me.” After saying this, he seemed to think that this sentence was not serious enough, and then directly said, “Since my parents died, no one has thought about me like this.”
