Chapter 192 193. Bai Jinglie's Visit

Jin Qianqian looked at Gu Lejia who ran out angrily in silence, especially the fierce look he glared at her before leaving. What did that mean?

Gu Wenheng naturally discovered it, "Ignore him, he really thinks everyone deserves him."

"It's Chinese New Year, let's not be angry with him," Jin Qianqian naturally wouldn't add fuel to the fire, and began to change the subject, "Uncle Fu and the others are almost ready, let's go over there too."

This is also their first year here. Although they are not accompanied by their family, a reunion dinner is essential.

Gu Wenheng carefully put the book flat, then stood up and held her hand, "Come over!"

Gu Lejia looked back at the tightly closed main door, his brows almost knotted into a knot.

"Your seventh uncle is really cold-blooded and heartless. He doesn't care about you, his nephew, being here."

Hearing Xiuniang's words, Gu Lejia felt a belly full of anger, which kept rising. "My seventh uncle was not like this before. I still remember when I was young, whenever he found wild fruits, he would share them with my brothers. He must have been bewitched by that woman. Since she came into the family, my seventh uncle rarely smiles at us."

Xiuniang, "What should we do? Should we go back to our previous yard?"

It's already New Year's Eve, but they haven't prepared anything. Even the kitchen is empty. How are they going to spend the day?

Besides, their father has already separated their younger brother from his family, and his family is not well off, so it is not a good idea for the two of them to go back at this time.

Thinking of this, Xiuniang looked at the big yard behind her with envy. Everything she wanted was there. It was a pity that the man in front of her was not ambitious enough and ran away after being told a few words.

Gu Lejia thought of Uncle Qi's ridicule just now and gritted his teeth, "Let's go back. I'll go to the restaurant to order some dishes later. Without them, we can live more comfortably."

Xiuniang was delighted, but her face was filled with worry. "How about we go back and ask Aunt Qi for help?"

"Bah, I'm not going," Gu Lejia touched the few pieces of silver left on his waist and said stubbornly, "Let's go. I don't know if the restaurant will be open today."

Xiuniang then remembered what day it was today. Many shops were closed. "If the restaurant is closed, then we can go to my brother's house. He has separated from my stepmother anyway. We can just stay there for two days. At most, we can pay for the food when the time comes."

When Gu Lejia heard this, he felt unhappy. These days, apart from going to work, he had been helping his cheap brother-in-law build walls and stoves day and night. Now if he went to eat his meals, he had to include the food?

However, he didn't hesitate for long. When he saw the locked door of the restaurant and the deserted vegetable market, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow Xiuniang to seek help from her brother.

It was only the ninth day of the first lunar month. Gu Wenheng was standing in the yard practicing boxing when housekeeper Fu came running over to inform him that a guest was visiting.

Gu Wenheng's face was full of surprise. In this place, apart from a few fellow disciples, usually no one came and went.

What's more, everyone gathered at Mr. Wang's place on the first day of the first lunar month, so no one should know where I live now.

With a hint of doubt, Gu Wenheng asked the butler to invite the person in. Seeing someone who shouldn't be here, Gu Wenheng was stunned for a moment.

"What? Brother Wenheng doesn't welcome you?" Bai Jinglie strode towards him with Ye Yi.

Gu Wenheng, "Master Bai, Happy New Year! I just didn't expect you to come back so early."

"Happy New Year," Bai Jinglie also bowed, "It's boring to stay in Shangjing, so I left early."

Seeing their slightly tired faces, Gu Wenheng said nothing more and ushered them into the reception hall. "But didn't Brother An and the others follow us?"

"They can't leave for now. They will come after the Lantern Festival." Bai Jinglie looked around his yard. "I didn't expect that after you cleaned it up, this yard would be more exquisite than before."

Gu Wenheng, "I have to thank you, my Lord. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have such a nice house."

At this time, Jin Qianqian also heard that there were visitors at home, so she brought Sanqing with her servants, carrying tea and coming over to greet them.

While Qingzhu and Qinglan were serving tea, Gu Wenheng also introduced them to each other.

Bai Jinglie had always been curious about Gu Wenheng's legendary lady. He didn't dare to look at her closely, but he saw clearly that she had an oval face, long eyelashes, big eyes, fair skin, beautiful features, slim figure, and delicate figure. Especially her smiling cheeks, with a dimple on each side, made her look a little naughty.

At the same time, I also sighed in my heart that the expressions of the two people gave people an inexplicable similarity, as if they were supposed to be a couple.

Jin Qianqian had met this Prince Bai before, so naturally she wasn't overly curious. She just said hello and took Sanqing away. At this point, he should leave some food for her!

"Brother Wenheng, I wonder how the glass production is going during this period?"

Gu Wenheng, "I saw that everyone had worked hard in the past two months, so I gave everyone a few days off and prepared to start work in two days.

If you need a supply, you will probably have to wait for a while.”

Bai Jinglie looked at Gu Wenheng hesitantly, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "I wonder if Brother Wenheng has any ideas? Let's expand this production a little more."

Gu Wenheng was thinking hard, "After all, my energy is limited, so I can only do it slowly.

What? Are you in a hurry for the goods? "

Bai Jinglie, "Brother Wenheng, I'm here to be a lobbyist this time."

Gu Wenheng was surprised. "What do you mean?"

Bai Jinglie glanced at Ye Yi beside him and said, "You go down first."

Gu Wenheng saw Ye Yi retreating and raised his hand to let everyone else go out.

"I'm telling you straight," Bai Jinglie said with a guilty look on his face, "We shipped a batch of goods to Beijing before, but they were sold out not long after they arrived.

I just arrived in Beijing during this Chinese New Year, and the goods haven’t even arrived yet, but I’ve already been warned by several elders.”

"Then I'll let them stop resting and tell them to work quickly." Gu Wenheng's eyes flashed and he said nonchalantly.

"It would be great if that were the case, but unfortunately these people don't just want the goods. They also try to bribe all of our followers who came here to get information.

There was no problem with Ye Yi and the others, but the other servants couldn't hold it anymore.

As soon as I saw that something was not right, I sent a sign to the palace. You should also know that I am somewhat related to the Emperor, so I can only turn to him for help."

Having said that, Bai Jinglie stopped and looked at Gu Wenheng.

Gu Wenheng seemed to be listening to a story, and asked curiously, "Then what?"

Bai Jinglie, "I have discussed with His Majesty that we cannot have an unfounded cause, and finally came up with a solution, but this requires your consent. Of course, you can refuse."
