Chapter 357: Pocket money given by my wife!
The capital is bustling this summer.
Whether it is watermelon or crayfish, people talk about it with relish.
The sudden popularity of crayfish made Qin Zhizhi see the potential of people in Beijing.
So not long after crayfish were on the market, Qin Zhizhi started to barbecue them in several restaurants, but the barbecue was only done in the evening.
After getting off duty, officials and people who had been busy all day finally found a good place to have a drink, eat barbecue, and feel as happy as gods.
So after the summer ended, several restaurants made a lot of money.
They gave Qin Zhizhi 50% of the profits from crayfish and barbecue, after all, the ingredients for crayfish and barbecue were provided by Qin Zhizhi.
Moreover, the recipe was also proposed by Qin Zhizhi. Qin Zhizhi disagreed, but several people insisted, so Qin Zhizhi had no choice but to accept it.
These people all felt that they had taken advantage of Qin Zhizhi and didn't have to worry about anything, they just had to sell it.
After making money this year, Qin Zhizhi gave Gu Jinghuai one thousand taels to keep as pocket money.
One thousand taels were also given to the grandmother, mother-in-law, mother, and grandma. The eldest princess had a shop selling crayfish and barbecue, so Qin Zhizhi did not give any to the eldest princess.
Qin Zhizhi gave each of the children five hundred taels.
Qin Zhizhi felt that the more money was spent, the more money she had; otherwise, there was no point in keeping it in her hands.
However, in order to thank her uncle for helping her get the manor from the emperor, she also gave Gu Ting one thousand taels.
Gu Tingle was so happy that he didn't know what to do. He showed off in front of the whole family, but ended up being scolded by the old lady and despised by his son.
During dinner at the Gu family, when Gu Ting was showing off, Gu Yunlang seriously complained to the old lady, "Grandma, Daddy is taking bribes!"
"Yunlang, how can this be considered bribery? This is clearly a gift from your sister-in-law to me, hehe!"
Gu Ting felt that he had to correct his son's statement. It was clearly his niece-in-law who was filial, so how could she have taken bribes?
"But this is the money that my sister-in-law and her friends worked hard to earn, and you didn't help, so you're taking bribes."
What Gu Yunlang said made sense. In fact, he just couldn't stand seeing his father showing off.
The eldest sister-in-law also gave them some silver and told them to keep a low profile. They all kept silent, but my father thought he was the only one who had it and showed off everywhere.
"Yunlang, uncle has helped a lot!" Qin Zhizhi said with a smile.
"Look, your sister-in-law said I helped you, so you can't accuse me of taking bribes now."
When Gu Ting heard that Qin Zhizhi was speaking up for him, he became even more arrogant.
"Sister-in-law!" Gu Yunlang looked at Qin Zhizhi aggrievedly. She felt that her sister-in-law was partial to her father.
"Yunlang, you don't know that uncle often brings people to dine, which indirectly increases the restaurant's income."
Gu Ting loves to eat and likes to make appointments with colleagues, which invisibly increases the restaurant's income.
"I always pay for everything. Even the last time the emperor went to eat crayfish, it was me who treated him."
When talking about this matter, Gu Ting felt aggrieved, and the others tried not to laugh.
Gu Yunlang decided to remain silent. His father was too good at pretending and he was no match for him.
"Thank you for your hard work, uncle!"
Qin Zhizhi still dotes on Gu Ting very much, and in this family, everyone dotes on Qin Zhizhi.
Qin Zhizhi would occasionally speak up for Gu Ting, and Gu Ting treated Qin Zhizhi better.
"It's not hard, Zhizhi, don't worry, next year uncle will help you attract customers in advance!"
As soon as Gu Ting said the word "soliciting customers", everyone couldn't help but burst out laughing.
What the hell is going on? He's the son-in-law of the emperor's wife and a high-ranking official in the imperial court, and he's talking about soliciting customers and even looks so proud of it.
"Stop talking nonsense and leading the children astray." The old lady felt that her eldest son was really outspoken.
"Hey, I said something wrong. Don't be angry, Mom. I will definitely set a high standard for myself in the future and set a good example."
Gu Ting was the first to admit his mistakes in front of the old lady. If he tried to argue any further, he would be scolded even more.
Gu Shi was dumbfounded. His elder brother was becoming more and more mean. No wonder his mother liked him more and more. He also wanted to learn from him.
Gu Yunlang rolled his eyes to the sky and sighed helplessly in his heart.
"Okay, let's eat!"
As soon as the old lady spoke, the matter of Gu Ting was over.
After dinner, everyone chatted with the old lady for a while before going back.
Little Tuanzi Gu Nian had already fallen asleep, and Gu Jinghuai had already asked someone to send Little Tuanzi back.
At this moment, the couple was walking back, and the servants had been asked to follow them when they sent their daughter back.
Gu Jinghuai held Qin Zhizhi's hand. It was already early autumn and it was a bit cold at night.
Gu Jinghuai's big hand held Qin Zhizhi's hand tightly. His hand was warm, and Qin Zhizhi felt very relieved.
"My wife!"
"Um?"
"I just wanted to call you!"
Gu Jinghuai called out "wife" and stopped talking. Qin Zhizhi asked in a questioning tone, so Gu Jinghuai quickly explained.
Qin Zhizhi smiled happily, her husband was so cute.
"Thank you for the pocket money, ma'am!"
The one thousand taels of silver that Qin Zhizhi gave to Gu Jinghuai was now lying in the purse around his waist.
He hung it around his waist on purpose so that he could feel his wife's love at all times.
"Tell me again if it's not enough!"
Qin Zhizhi was really just worried that her husband didn't have enough money to spend, so she gave all his monthly salary and wages to herself.
"I can't spend it all. I don't have a place to spend money normally!"
Qin Zhizhi takes care of Gu Jinghuai's daily food, clothing and expenses, and he doesn't spend much money when he occasionally goes out for social events.
His biggest hobbies are his wife, daughter, and reading.
My uncle has a lot of ancient books and he can borrow them to read.
The Wang family would give Qin Zhizhi pens, ink, paper, and inkstones as gifts every year, and Wang Xinru would give Qin Zhizhi a very comprehensive gift every time.
"Husband, you don't have enough social engagements. If you have nothing to do, you can go out for dinner and drinks with your colleagues to maintain some relationships."
Qin Zhizhi was mainly worried that her husband was not sociable.
"Compared to these, I want to come back and spend time with you and Nian Nian after I finish my shift."
Gu Jinghuai took Qin Zhizhi to the pavilion, put the lantern on the stone table, and the two sat down to rest for a while.
Gu Jinghuai directly hugged Qin Zhizhi and sat her on his lap, holding her with his arms, fearing that she would fall.
"Husband, it's not good if someone sees us."
Qin Zhizhi felt that people would still pass by this road in the mansion, and it would be embarrassing if they were seen.
Upon hearing this, Gu Jinghuai raised his hand and took the lantern off the stone table. The surroundings suddenly became darker. It was not as conspicuous as before, and it was really hard to see unless you looked carefully.
"Isn't this much better?"
Gu Jinghuai let the person in his arms face him, and in the dim light, he kissed Qin Zhizhi's lips.
Qin Zhizhi was not prepared for this kiss. She thought she came to the pavilion to rest for a while, but she was suddenly kissed and she had not yet recovered.
"My lady, be more attentive!"
Gu Jinghuai reminded her in a low voice. Qin Zhizhi wanted to laugh, but since she had her own husband, she could only pamper him herself.
This time, Qin Zhizhi took the initiative to kiss him. Gu Jinghuai was stunned at first, and then responded more enthusiastically.
When the two of them went back, Gu Jing carried Qin Zhizhi in his arms.
