Gu Nian blinked, wondering what this person was doing here so early. Didn't he come over with the emperor to freeload breakfast after they finished practicing their martial arts a couple of days ago?
Looking at those curved eyelashes, Xue Qianyu felt as if a small fan was gently fanning his heart.
Honestly, he was once again amazed by Gu Nian's appearance.
"Aren't you coming in?" Gu Nian felt the atmosphere was a bit strange, and if she didn't speak up, it would become awkward.
To be honest, she was quite attracted to Xue Qianyu's looks, but she knew the plot of the book and that Xue Qianyu was engaged. Even if the Xue Qianyu in the book doted on Gu Nian, she would not have any other feelings for him.
To him, Xue Qianyu was just a handsome young man.
Unlike Yan Mo, who is mature and charming, that is her ideal type.
"Okay." Xue Qianyu nodded and went inside.
Gu Nian was about to close the door when she suddenly remembered that the playful emperor hadn't come along.
"Qian Yu is here? Where is your uncle? Why isn't he with you?" Empress Dowager Jiang, dressed in the same military uniform as the second wife, came out of the main room and asked.
"Master asked me to tell the old lady that there is an urgent matter in the capital and she needs to return. She left last night. Master asked me to protect the old lady here and escort her back to the capital," Xue Qianyu said respectfully.
"That would be wonderful! We'll go back after this summer! It's too hot for me to travel! Qianyu, you can stay with Ayuan!" Empress Dowager Jiang's eyes crinkled with laughter.
And so, Empress Dowager Jiang, along with her personal nanny and maid, settled down in the second branch of the Gu family, while Xue Qianyu naturally stayed with Lu Zheng.
Empress Dowager Jiang often took Granny Gui to chat with Grandma Gu and Grandpa Gu. The palace maid Bi Rong was handed over to the Gu sisters to help with making things. As for Xue Qianyu, Lu Zheng threw his clothes at him: "Xue Er, come on, let's go to the fields! Experience how hard it is to produce food, and you won't be able to leave any leftovers in the future!"
Gu Shouxin was quite happy, as he had another boy to play chess with. Although his chess skills were not as good as Lu Zheng's, he could still be used to train the children.
...
By late May, the iced beverage shop that the Gu sisters and Li Muyan had partnered on opened for business.
After discussing it with her girlfriends, Gu Nian finally decided to follow Cai Xiaolian's suggestion and send Madam Meng to the prefectural city to look after the shop, and to train Zheng Ling and Meng Yan. They also recruited two men from the estate to work as shop assistants.
The name of the shop was finalized after communicating with Li Muyan: Gu Sisters' Talk Show.
Cai Xiaolian even designed a trademark for them and suggested that they use this name for all the things they make in the future. Li Muyan also said that he was just there to make up the numbers and that he only needed to share the money, and he didn't need to take over the name.
At the end of the month, Madam Li came to pick up the goods, but Li Muyan did not come with her. It is said that he was seriously trampled by pigs during the Dragon Boat Festival and still has difficulty walking. She wanted to come but was not allowed to.
Gu Xin asked worriedly, "Aunt Luo, will Brother Muyan really recover completely? Will he be left with any lasting health problems?"
This is her brother-in-law whom she really approves of; she mustn't let anything go wrong with him!
Madam Li said without any worry, "Of course! And this time he must have had some incredible luck; he's recovering faster than usual. The doctor said his internal injuries are completely healed, and now he's just recovering from the external injuries with medication. The doctor said he's recovering quickly!"
Gu Xin breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed her jade beads were still effective.
