Since the opening of "Jiao Lan", business has been booming day by day.

Many merchants in the capital city heard the news and started selling rouge and cosmetics.

For a time, paper was in great demand in Luoyang.

Everyone has something from "Jiao Lan" in their hands.

The rumor that the Chen family had amassed all the wealth in the world became increasingly rampant.

Chen Zhizhou has always been rebellious and doesn't care about these nonsense.

Gu Qing, on the other hand, was a little worried.

There was a drizzle outside the window. Through the thick and dense rain curtain, Gu Qingyuan's brows, which were as beautiful as a mountain, were slightly wrinkled.

Pei'er was standing in the corridor and happened to see her expression.

She came in with the lotus seed and lotus hibiscus green rice dumplings: "Miss, this is a new snack made by the kitchen. It is the most suitable for eating at this time of year."

Gu Qing came back to his senses, a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes, but his face remained calm.

The tone is flat.

"I just ordered that no one should enter the house without permission. Pei'er, you are becoming more and more presumptuous."

Pei'er's heart trembled, and she immediately knelt down and respectfully admitted her mistake: "Miss, I saw that you hadn't eaten this morning, and I was worried about your health."

"It's Pei'er's fault. Pei'er should be punished."

Gu Qing narrowed his eyes slightly and happened to see a pearl on the back of her temples.

This is a popular style among the ladies in the capital this year. Pei'er is being so ostentatious, which makes her look even more stupid.

"Where did you get this pearl and jade? I don't think I've ever given you anything like this before."

Pei'er's eyes evaded, and she hesitated for a long time: "It's...it was the Second Young Master who took pity on Pei'er and casually threw it to me."

"Oh? The second room has even reached into my room?"

Gu Qing was intimidating without even getting angry. Pei'er had never seen her like this before, and her body couldn't help but tremble. "Miss! Pei'er is loyal to you."

"Heaven and earth can bear witness!"

She originally wanted to pick them and then go back to the yard, but she became obsessed with them and wanted to show off in front of Cuiru and Cuiping.

It turned out to be a big mistake!

She noticed early on that the young lady's temperament was different from before.

If you are not sincere for a day, you will be useless for the rest of your life.

Unexpectedly, the next moment Gu Qing covered her mouth and laughed, and the thin shark veil brushed across her forehead, like a gentle comfort.

"Why are you so frightened when you get up first?"

"If you like pearls and jade, just ask me for them. You are from my room, how can you accept things from another room?"

"What should I do if someone gives me a reason to talk? After all, you are my maidservant, so I have to protect you no matter what."

Gu Qingxu raised his hand and motioned her to stand up.

The anger between his brows turned into a doting helplessness.

Pei'er was in a trance for a moment.

As expected! The lady still trusts herself!

After all, she is the young lady's most capable maid!

Pei'er felt a little relieved, and immediately tore off her jewelry and threw it into the brazier: "Miss, Pei'er was blinded by greed, and I will never do that again!"

"In that case, you go down first."

Gu Qing looked at her back as she left respectfully, and the smile on his lips gradually became colder.

A gentle knife, but every blow is deadly.

Only by boiling a frog in warm water can Pei'er experience the feeling of despair at the moment of death.

Furthermore, since I have caught her with something, if she is not punished for the time being, she will become more rampant in the future.

She wanted to catch Pei'er's fox tail step by step and expose the Gu family's dirty face.

......

Qingming Festival is approaching, and even though it is raining, the stuffy atmosphere in the house is very annoying.

There have been frequent mistakes in the warehouse recently, which has caused Gu Qing more and more headaches.

She glanced sideways at the pile of account books on the desk, and her scalp went numb.

At the same time, the Jiaolan shop was in turmoil.

Qiu Rong is somewhat biased.

"Situ Sheng, how old are you and how big is Gouzi?! Do you really need to fight with him?"

Gou Zi and Situ Sheng were pulled apart by the servants in the shop, both of them had wounds on their faces.

Qiu Rong was in a dilemma. So many things had happened recently, and the master was already upset. But these two little brats were causing trouble every day.

Especially Situ Sheng, I really don’t know how he can be so shameless as to insist on staying here!

It would be bad enough if he was just unpopular, but now he has caused trouble.

"This is obviously my square glutinous rice cake! Sister Hongxiao made it for me!"

The dog's voice is soft and sticky.

Situ Sheng stared at the plate of pastries on the table and remained silent despite the people around him scolding him.

"Situ Sheng, don't cause trouble for the master. The dog is young, so just let him go."

Situ Sheng turned around and looked at Qiu Rong with a cold look in his eyes.

He gritted his teeth and said, "I saw this pastry first."

I don’t know why, but Situ Sheng refused to listen and insisted on having this plate of glutinous rice cake today.

Qiu Rong was too lazy to argue with him and immediately handed it to Gouzi: "Be good, Gouzi. Let your master apply the medicine to you later."

"It's pitiful."

Seeing that the situation was about to calm down, the servant just let go and Situ Sheng quickly ran over, grabbed the pastry and stuffed it into his mouth.

I chewed it hard several times in front of the dog before I could swallow it.

The remaining pieces fell to the ground and were covered in dust and dirt.

Gou Zi's eyes suddenly turned red, and his heart shook up and down with his lips and teeth, breaking into several pieces.

Qiu Rong could no longer tolerate this and took the man to the backyard: "Since I am the manager here, I will punish you on behalf of the master today!"

Situ Sheng's eyes were cold and he didn't take her words to heart at all.

"I have not signed a personal contract with you. I am not yours, let alone your slave."

"If you dare to hit me, I will sue you at the government office!"

Qiu Rong has become much more stable after spending so much time with Nanny Chen.
