TSBFL Chapter 87
Chapter 87.2: 合謀
[Collusion / Conspire]
Chen Xing originally thought that the one he found was the only one. He was worried about what would happen if he was seen by others, but now Gu Lang told him that he not only drew one, but many, and the place where he drew was crowded with people, so he couldn’t dare to imagine what people’s faces would be when they saw it. Thinking about the expression of the people when they saw these paintings, Chen Xing now has a kind of impulse to cover his face and run away.
Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing’s hard to predict’ changing expression, seemed to not quite understand what was wrong with him, and even brought a little bit of confusion in his tone of voice when he asked him, “What’s wrong?”
Chen Xing looked at Gu Lang’s those thirsty eyes, and seemed to think that painting in this hall was a very normal thing, nothing to make a fuss about, making him think that he was thinking too much. However, when he thought of Gu Lang drawing this kind of painting, there were people watching and even pointing, he felt ashamed ah!
Chen Xing didn’t know what to say for a moment, licked his dry lips, and then changed the topic in a not-so-smart way and said, “I’m going to the back to see how they’re dealing with the rabbit, I have to marinate it first, so that I can take it back to the house at night to fry it.”
Gu Lang nodded, looking at Chen Xing’s back as he fled, a wry smile suddenly appeared on his face, which was originally still wearing a somewhat faint expression. How could he not see Chen Xing’s concern just now? He just wanted to tease Chen Xing a little. Moreover, he really thought that the things he drew were very good, and there was nothing to be ashamed of.
Thinking like this, Gu Lang looked at that pair of simple paintings that had not yet been packed up, laid them flat and put them into the pile of books that he was going to take back, ready to be taken back and put together with the other paintings.
Gu Lang slowly packed up everything before returning to his seat, watching the customers coming and going as usual, and occasionally speaking to the customers who came to settle their bills.
“Shopkeeper, you’re finally back.” The customer who spoke to him had been coming to eat twice a day since the opening of the business, and was almost an acquaintance, so he naturally knew that Gu Lang and Chen Xing were husband and husband (wife). Now seeing this cold face or poker face of the treasurer, yet not afraid, when paying the bill, the customer even opened his mouth, bantered a few words, “I sat there today to eat, but saw that the little boss sitting in this position where he has been looking towards the outside. The worried expression on his face and when he saw you come back, he then smiled like a flower and now he seems to be waiting for you to come back.”
Gu Lang who settled the bills, his hands were slightly paused. He thought of coming back to stare at Chen Xing’s shining eyes. He suddenly felt a warm heart, such a Chen Xing, how can he not be happy?
The customer watched Gu Lang’s change from detachment to tenderness, his mouth remarked in astonishment, and when he left, he still didn’t forget to mutter: “The two bosses of this shop’s relationship is really good! I have to buy some desserts for my old lady (grandma) to take back, I couldn’t let her starve.”
Listening to the customer’s muttering, Gu Lang looked in the direction of the kitchen, his fingertips gently pointed at the desktop, calculating whether he should send some gifts to Chen Xing. It seems that since Chen Xing came to their home, he has not sent any gifts to him, but what gifts should he send to Chen Xing?
*****
Chen Mansion,
Madam Chen started to think about what she should do after Butler Wu left. According to Butler Wu’s words, Old Master Chen apparently started investigating the matter of that small restaurant a long time ago, but there is no news from him, which means he wants to hide it from her and he didn’t want her to intervene in this matter.
However, seeing these heart-warming interests, Madam Chen feels that it was very difficult not to be moved, after all, some of the old shops, by virtue of a craft can be imparted and inherited for several years. After all, some old shops have been able to pass on a craft for years, and now it seems that Gu Lang has more than that in his hands. As long as they got one of them, no matter whether they took it to her family or kept it for themselves as a backhand, it would be a very profitable thing (a small investment brings a ten thousand-fold profit; make big profits with a small capital).
The more Madam Chen thought about it, the more she was moved. No, this matter, she also wants to insert a foot! She wants to have a slice of the pie (benefit) from here, get his own share of the interest.
Madam Chen thought of how to mention this matter in front of the Old master Chen, and following a logical train of thought, a letter sent in from outside the door, Madam Chen waved her hand and let the little maid beside her to see it.
Not a moment later the little maid came back, looking at Madam Chen somewhat upset as she said: “Revealed to the lady, just now Madam Zhao sent someone to send a letter over, saying that they still have something to do there in the evening, so they would like to change the time of the gathering to midday and ask the lady on this side, whether convenient or not?”
“What?” Madam Chan’s face was a bit unsightly. We agreed to have dinner, now arbitrarily changed to the middle meal, this is in the families to interact with the extremely impolite thing. After all, a banquet represents the face of a family. Now she says to shift it to an earlier date then put it early. She has no way to prepare for it. Moreover, this is not a polite gesture, which is not putting her in the eye at all.
However, she knew that she couldn’t afford to offend Lady Zhao, so Lady Chen could only grit her teeth and say, “You go and reply, saying that we will be ready and Lady Zhao is welcome to come here at any time.”
