Yu Xiaoxiao, who always thought she was poor, felt that she was not enough to spend no matter how much money she had. She looked at the luxurious decoration of Dasihai Restaurant and wanted to give up. However, Gu Xinglang never thought he was poor. He pulled Yu Xiaoxiao's hand and said, "Xiaoxiao, we still have money for a meal."<>
Yu Xiaoxiao was pulled into Dasihai by Gu Xinglang. Standing in the bustling lobby, Yu Xiaoxiao was still struggling with the question of which was more important, money or food.
While his wife was absorbed in looking at the dishes on other people's tables, Gu Xinglang threw a silver ingot to the waiter and said, "I want a private seat."
After receiving this generous reward, the waiter led Gu Xinglang upstairs with a smile on his face.
Gu Xinglang pulled Yu Xiaoxiao upstairs.
Yu Xiaoxiao sniffed and said, "It smells good."
Gu Xinglang said, "We'll order whatever you want to eat later."
Yu Xiao: "How much money do you have on you?"
Gu Xinglang smiled and said, "It's enough for us to have a meal."
Yu Xiaoxiao said worriedly, "What should we do for our next meal?"
Gu Xinglang said: "Xiaoxiao, I am not poor."
Yu Xiaoxiao was still feeling sad. Her little Gu had already forgotten the hard days when her father confiscated all the family property.
Gu Xinglang thought about it and said, "After we get this money back, His Majesty will report it to us."
"Hmm?" Yu Xiaoxiao was shocked.
"Isn't the meal money also included in the travel expenses for the mission?" Gu Xinglang said: "Li Xiaoyuan won't reimburse us, but His Majesty will."
Without having to spend her own money, Yu Xiaoxiao felt that she had an appetite again.
Of course, Gu Xinglang would not ask his father-in-law to reimburse him for a meal, but as long as it could please his wife, Young Master Gu would dare to say anything.
Yu Xiaoxiao sat in an elegant room in the Dasihai Building, sitting at a table by the window. Outside the window was the Jinxiang River of Chiyang City. At this moment, the lights were on, and pleasure boats were shuttling on the Jinxiang River, which ran from north to south and passed through Chiyang City. The sound of music and people was ethereal, and the stars and lights were reflected on the water, forming a beautiful scene of fireworks on earth.
Gu Xinglang asked the waiter to serve the best food in the world.
Just by looking at the silver ingot given by Mr. Gu as a reward, the waiter knew that the two were distinguished guests. He agreed and left, and soon brought up some delicious tea and snacks.
Gu Xinglang watched the waiter leave, then stood up, walked over to Yu Xiaoxiao and sat down. He took a piece of cake and brought it to Yu Xiaoxiao's mouth, saying, "The river below is called Jinxiang River."
Yu Xiao: "Xiao Gu, we are very lucky."
Gu Xinglang said: "Luck?"
Yu Xiaoxiao turned her head and nodded to Gu Xinglang, saying, "I thought there were no seats left, but I didn't expect we could get such a good seat, and it's a private room. It's really hard to explain."
Mr. Gu..., this was bought with money, what a silly wife!
A table of delicious food was quickly served.
Gu Xinglang closed the window and sat down with Yu Xiaoxiao to eat.
The candlelight flickered in the private room, and the figures of the young couple were reflected in the stained glass window. Their figures were stretched out so long that they could not be distinguished from each other, yet it seemed as if they would never be separated.
Jing Mo didn't have time to come to Dasihai tonight, but he sent a guard to pay for the meal while Gu Xinglang and Yu Xiaoxiao were still dining in the private room, so that Gu Shao's plan to squander money failed this time.
After finishing their meal, Yu Xiaoxiao and Gu Xinglang sat by the window and looked at the Jinxiang River under the night sky for a while. When they left Dasihai and walked on the streets of Chiyang City, the young couple found that there were many more soldiers on the streets of Chiyang City.
Seeing a group of monks holding weapons running past, Yu Xiaoxiao looked back curiously.
Gu Xinglang pulled Yu Xiaoxiao forward and whispered, "Those are the monk soldiers from the White Horse Temple."
"White Horse Temple?" Yu Xiaoxiao had never heard of it.
Gu Xinglang said: "The national temple of Suzaku."
"The national teacher named Chengming?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked.
Gu Xinglang nodded and said, "The emperor was kidnapped in the street, and the monks under Master Chengming have all gone out to look for him. It seems that the Eternal Life Temple must be behind Li Hao."
Yu Xiaoxiao looked back at the group of monk soldiers running away. A Buddhist temple still has monk soldiers? The Eternal Life Temple is always refreshing her views!
Gu Xinglang said: "This matter has nothing to do with us, Xiaoxiao, don't worry about it."
Yu Xiao: "I don't care. Isn't it just right that Li Hao was kidnapped? Xiao Jiang can finally vent his anger."
Gu Xinglang said: "I'm afraid that Li Xiaoyuan's birthday banquet will not be successful."
"Wait," Yu Xiaoxiao stopped again and pulled Gu Xinglang to stop in front of a small stall.
The stall owner was frightened when she saw the soldiers, yamen runners, and monk soldiers suddenly appearing all over the street. She was ready to close the stall, but when she saw Yu Xiaoxiao and Gu Xinglang standing in front of her stall, she quickly put on a smile and greeted them, "Which one do you like, Madam?"
Gu Xinglang looked at the stall, which only sold some inferior jewelry and small items, and asked Yu Xiaoxiao: "What do you want?"
Yu Xiaoxiao picked up a rectangular paperweight and asked Gu Xinglang, "Is this made of red jade?"
The paperweight was red and looked like jade. Gu Xinglang took the paperweight in his hand and weighed it, saying, "How could it be red jade?"
Yu Xiao: "It looks like it."
The stall owner smiled and said, "This is just a little thing. Madam, if you like it, I will sell it to you at a low price."
"How much?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked.
The stall owner held up five fingers.
Yu Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched. How much is this?
Gu Xinglang asked Yu Xiaoxiao: "Do you really want this?"
Yu Xiaoxiao nodded.
Gu Xinglang did not bargain. He gave five copper coins to the stall owner, paid for the goods, and left.
In just a short while, the number of soldiers and horses on the battlefield seemed to be greater than before.
Pedestrians no longer had the mood to go shopping and quickly hurried home.
Gu Xinglang and Yu Xiaoxiao were not concerned about the matter, and were relaxed, still strolling leisurely on the street. Gu Xinglang held the paperweight in his hand and asked Yu Xiaoxiao: "Why did you think of this?"
Yu Xiao: "I decided to use this to carve a bird and give it to Li Xiaoyuan."
Gu Xinglang's steps suddenly staggered. Now, his wife was not going to give the little red jade flying dragon to Li Xiaoyuan?
Yu Xiaoxiao snorted coldly and said to Gu Xinglang, "You still want to act like a loving father in front of me. I can see at a glance that Li Xiaoyuan doesn't care about the life or death of Jing Mo's cousin at all. Why would I give a jade to such a person?"
Gu Xinglang said: "Then why don't you give me a stone?"
"Oh," Yu Xiaoxiao said indifferently, "Anyway, he looked down on my father and said that my father had poor vision and was cheated by a profiteer."
Cheating the emperor? Even the most unscrupulous businessman would not risk his life, right? Gu Xinglang looked at the paperweight in his hand and suddenly felt that the stone was hot. He said, "But it's too late for us to find someone to carve a red bird now."
Yu Xiao: "Just carve a random bird. My dad hasn't been transformed yet, so I don't know what the Vermilion Bird looks like. Can Li Xiaoyuan go to Fengjing and beat my dad up just because my dad hasn't been transformed?"
