"This is a gift from His Majesty. The mansion was too small, and I couldn't think of a business to start, so it has been idle until now. Now it can finally be put to use. It's not a pity at all."

“Is that so?”

Gu Qing nodded, staring at it intently, and simply couldn't let it go.

"Go in and take a look."

She is satisfied, and I am happy.

Chen Zhizhou put on the key, opened the door and led her up and down in a circle.

"If you think it's too big, you can seal the top and only use the bottom. When you think of something else you want to do, you can open the top later."

Gu Qing looked at him with burning eyes, feeling complicated.

Only at this moment did she realize that although Chen Zhizhou seemed careless and reckless, he was actually a thoughtful person.

I just mentioned it last night, but he had already found a store and planned it better than I did.

Before, she was too extreme and one-sided. She never really understood him and completely denied him.

Fortunately, God had mercy on her and gave her a chance to live again.

This time she must seize the opportunity and never let him down again.

Gu Qing was touched and took the initiative to move forward, touching his cheek lightly, then immediately ran away shyly.

Her unexpected action made Chen Zhizhou stunned. He raised his hand to rub his cheek, feeling that it was a little unreal.

Is this a thank you to yourself?

Chen Zhizhou realized it belatedly and curled the corners of his lips, then chased her and pressed her against the wall.

"Flirting and then running away is not a good behavior!"

After that, he leaned over and kissed her on the lips.

…

As soon as the two of them stepped into the mansion, Chen's mother sent someone to invite them.

Gu Qing glanced at Chen Zhizhou out of the corner of his eye.

Judging from his expression, he seemed to have expected this!

"Third Young Master, Young Madam, please."

Following the nanny's footsteps, I came to Chen's mother's courtyard, only to see Chen's mother sitting solemnly in the courtyard, with the nanny, maids, and servants standing below her in an orderly manner.

What's going on?

Gu Qing suppressed his confusion and bowed respectfully to Chen's mother.

"Long live mother!"

When Chen's mother saw her, she immediately put away her serious expression, softened her eyes, and waved to the two of them, indicating that they should sit next to her.

"Good boy, Zhou'er has told me everything about your situation. Since you want to do it, just go for it boldly without any hesitation. If you encounter any difficulties, just tell me and I will help you solve them."

As she spoke, she did not forget to wink at the person below her.

The leading nanny immediately understood and stepped forward.

"Young Madam, my maidservant's surname is Rong. I have been working in the accounting office of the mansion. I can read and read..."

After she introduced herself, Chen's mother added, "She's proficient in inventory and accounting, and she's also very tactful and experienced in dealing with people. If you want to open a shop, you should be extra careful in choosing the right person."

"Even if there are good ones out there, their origins are unknown, and they won't be used. Aunt Rong is my old friend, so you can trust her."

"Thank you, mother."

Gu Qing looked up and down at Nanny Rong, and was satisfied to see that she had regular features and always had a smiling face.

"That's what I was worried about! I didn't expect my mother to be so thoughtful."

Afterwards, the rest of the people also introduced themselves in the same way as Aunt Rong.

Gu Qing finally chose two maids, four maids and four servants.

"Okay, I'll have someone find their indentures and hand them over to you later."

Mother Chen glanced at them and said sternly, "From now on, you will follow the Young Madam and work even harder than you did under me. If you show any signs of dishonesty, let me know. Even if the Young Madam is kind enough to offer mercy, I will not grant it."

"Do you know everything?"

Everyone felt nervous under her gaze and quickly replied, "Yes."

…

Dragging his tired body back to the room, Gu Qing just wanted to lie down on the bed.

"You asked mother to help me find a servant?"

She lay on the bed, turned her head, and stared at Chen Zhizhou with burning eyes. Although her tone was questioning, she was certain in her heart.

Chen Zhizhou did not deny it and reached out to hold her in his arms.

"Are you touched?"

Gu Qing was amused, rolled her eyes at him, and raised her hand to block his affection.

"I'm exhausted today. I've been shopping around for a while now, finally deciding on a shop and employees. I still haven't hired a miracle doctor or a skilled craftsman. I need to find more recipes for spices and try them out one by one. I also need to import the ingredients..."

She counted them on her fingers, and just thinking about it made her feel overwhelmed.

"Don't worry, it's easy to find a craftsman. I've already sent someone to hire one, and I believe there will be results within two days."

"We have quite a few recipes for spices in our house. I've also asked my mother for help. One of her friends is an expert in making incense, and she's sure to find some. I've also sent people to look for ancient recipes."

"As for the miracle doctor..."

Chen Zhizhou's eyes darkened, and a figure emerged in his mind, but that person's temper...

He frowned slightly, "I'm afraid you and I will have to go twice more."

"As long as you have real talent, it's worth it even if you have to visit me three times."

Gu Qing's eyes sparkled when she spoke, which made Chen Zhizhou feel itchy.

He leaned over, leaned close to Gu Qing's ear with malicious intent, and breathed softly.

The hot breath sprayed, causing her to tremble uncontrollably, and her entire waist and back were wrapped in a tingling and numb feeling.

…

The next day, the sky was bright.

Gu Qing opened his eyes and saw Chen Zhizhou, who was still unconscious.

Looking at him carefully, this handsome and resolute face is truly a favorite of God. Even when he is asleep, it is difficult to conceal his perfection.

His eyelashes are so long, thick and dense!

Gu Qing pursed her lips, a playful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she raised her hand as if possessed. Just as she was about to touch the butterfly-like eyelashes, Chen Zhizhou suddenly opened his eyes.

"Madam, did you see me sleeping and become lustful and want to do something indecent to me?"

He raised his lips and spoke in a lazy voice.

Why does this person always say such shocking things?

Gu Qing was embarrassed by him and her face turned red. She turned her head away and pretended to be angry.

Seeing this, Chen Zhizhou turned sideways, put his arm around her neck, held her tightly in his arms, and rested his chin lightly on her shoulder.

"I just spoke out of turn. I was greedy for your beauty and always..."

After hearing what he said, Gu Qing's remaining sleepiness disappeared completely. The two of them stayed together for a while, got up, had breakfast, and followed him directly to the so-called miracle doctor's office.

"We're almost outside of Beijing, right?"

Gu Qing lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the small road that was different from the official road in the city. On both sides were overlapping distant mountains. He took a deep breath and seemed to be able to smell the fragrance in the air.

"Well, there's a plum blossom forest near where he lives. It's not in full bloom yet. I'll take you there after the first snow falls. Not only can you see the plum blossoms in full bloom, but you can also use the snow water to make tea and write with the petals."

As soon as he said that, a picture appeared in Gu Qing's mind, and he vaguely expected it to snow.

The carriage traveled for a while and finally arrived at the destination near noon.

What comes into view is a poor little courtyard with bamboos planted at the door. The shadows move in the wind, creating an elegant artistic conception.

Chen Zhizhou took her hand and walked straight in.

"You came at the right time..."
