Chapter 1671 Private Collection

Zhao went downstairs with an unhappy look on her face. She said that she designed the jewelry herself. The Countess wanted to see the jewelry again. She knew very well what the Countess was thinking.

When we got downstairs, we saw that the jewelry shop had a lot of customers. It was the end of the year and some wealthy women wanted to buy some jewelry.

After leaving the jewelry shop, Zhao wanted to go to the embroidery shop next door to look at the new embroidery products. Yu Wen stood at the door and said, "Second aunt, I'm going to the bookstore in front."

Zhao turned around and asked Yudie and Yuyi, "What about you?"

Yuyi and Yudie were more interested in embroidery and suggested going to the embroidery shop together.

Yujiao didn't come today. She caught a cold, so the little girl is resting at home.

Yuwen walked into the bookshop and saw Gu Sheng at first sight, with some surprise in her eyes. Gu Sheng also noticed Yuwen and was stunned.

Gu Sheng realized that there were quite a few people in the bookshop, so he thought for a moment and said, "Miss Friday."

Yu Wen smiled faintly, "Mr. Gu."

Today, Gu Sheng accompanied his elder brother and sister-in-law to go shopping. This year's New Year is of great significance to his family. They bought a lot of things for the New Year. When they had bought almost everything, his elder brother wanted to take his sister-in-law for a walk. He took the servant and separated from them. Unexpectedly, he met the county owner.

Yuwen came to buy a storybook. She asked the shop assistant Mr. Yan about his new work and took it down from the bookshelf.

Gu Sheng stood still and glanced at the storybook. "Fifth Miss likes Mr. Yan's storybook very much?"

Yuwen tilted her head, "Have you seen it too?"

Gu Sheng nodded, "Mr. Wu and I have watched the adapted play."

Yuwen raised her eyebrows, "Is the show good?"

Gu Sheng was silent for a while, "It's different from previous plays. Well, it's closer to reality."

Yu Wen smiled and said, "I really like Mr. Yan's storybook."

Gu Sheng also smiled and said, "Then I'll buy one and take a look at it."

Yu Wen put the book in her hand into Gu Sheng's hand and said, "This one is for you."

Gu Sheng blinked and said, "Okay."

Yu Wen was in a good mood and turned around to pick up another book. Who would have thought that Mr. Yan was Concubine Chen. Concubine Chen had been obsessed with writing in recent years and many young ladies liked her.

After Yu Wen chose the book, she nodded to Gu Sheng, paid the bill, took the book and left.

Gu Sheng also paid the bill, returned to the carriage and opened the storybook. His eyes were particularly bright. The county lord was a realistic person.

In the theater, Changzhong was chewing on a frozen pear, his mind not on the stage, and before he knew it, he had eaten most of the plate of frozen pears.

Wu Shangheng also held a fan in the cold weather, shaking it and sighing, "This man is no worse than a woman when he dresses up as a woman."

The fourth prince: "Heh."

Changzhong, "."

Looking up at the stage, Changzhong shuddered, bah!

Wu Shangheng laughed loudly, and the fourth prince sneered, "I will repeat your words to the eldest princess when I return to the palace."

Wu Shangheng, "!!"

This time Changzhong smiled, stretched out his hand and continued to eat the fruit. Although the theater was not boring, he didn't like it here either. He ate the cold frozen pear to calm his mind, and the breath he exhaled was cool.

Changzhong and his friends were in a private room on the second floor. As the year was coming to an end, the government offices were closed for the holidays. Many officials came to the theater today, and the theater was packed. From time to time, there were cheers and applause, as well as many voices of appreciation. It was a far cry from the lives of ordinary people.

Wu Shangheng reached for the plate of frozen pears, but found nothing. He turned around and was speechless. "Hey, you ate a whole plate of them, aren't you afraid of getting an upset stomach?"

Changzhong came back to his senses and said, "I have a good appetite. If you want to eat, order another plate."

Wu Shangheng, "Are you unhappy?"

Changzhong wiped his hands with a handkerchief and said, "I just feel a little emotional."

Wu Shangheng didn't understand what Changzhong was sighing about. He signaled the waiter to bring another plate of frozen pears and turned around to continue listening to the opera.

After a play, Changzhong wants to go home, the fourth prince wants to return to the palace, but Wu Shangheng hasn't had enough fun.

Going downstairs, Wu Shangheng tapped his palm with his fan, "Hey, isn't this Master Zhuo?"

Zhuo Guyu frowned and greeted the Fourth Prince, "Your Highness."

The fourth prince did not show his displeasure, even though he had a bad impression of Zhuo Guyu. "No need to be polite."

Wu Shangheng turned his head and ignored Zhuo Guyu who left first. Chang Zhongsheng followed without saying a word. The Fourth Prince nodded and also left.

Ye Jing asked, "Why is the future prince consort hostile to you?"

Zhuo Guyu frowned and said, "I don't know either."

Recently, the future prince consort always acts weird every time he sees him. He racked his brains but couldn't figure out how he had offended him.

Ye Jing said in a deep voice: "Mr. Wu is favored by the Emperor, and the Crown Prince and several other princes are also very polite to him. If there is any unhappiness, it is better to resolve it. I don't think Mr. Wu is a gentleman."

The future prince consort will act as he pleases. Such a person does whatever he wants, and there is no guarantee that he will not say something to the emperor behind his back.

Zhuo Guyu responded, "I will take care of it."

It is the 29th day of the 11th lunar month, and tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Zhulan and Shuren ate snacks under Mingjing's expectant gaze.

Ming Jing asked expectantly, "Grandpa, Grandma, how do the snacks taste?"

Zhulan was surprised, "I just thought you liked to eat, but I didn't expect you were so good at cooking."

Mingjing looked at her grandfather, "Grandpa."

Shuren sipped his tea and swallowed the snack. "Not bad. You made the snack and sent it over for us to try."

Ming Jing, "I wanted to learn how to cook, but my father wouldn't let me. So my grandson secretly made this snack."

Shuren said coldly, "Your father won't allow it, do you think I will agree?"

Mingjing hunched his neck in fear, and glanced at his grandmother. When he saw her winking at him, he was no longer afraid. "Grandpa is the most open-minded person towards his grandchildren!"

Zhou Shuren snorted. Ming Jing's flattering look was exactly like his mother's. "You can learn if you want."

Ming Jing was delighted, "Grandpa is the best."

"Don't be too happy yet. You can only learn cooking after you have mastered one of the arts. And don't fall behind in your studies."

Ming Jing: "It's too hard for my grandson."

"You don't have to agree."

Ming Jing looked at her grandmother. This time, she turned the handkerchief to see what was going on. She didn't give any hints, which meant she agreed with her grandfather. Ming Jing's chubby face wrinkled into a bun, "Grandson agrees."

Zhou Shuren sent his grandson away and said to his wife, "Too many children will only bring debt."

Zhulan glanced at him and said, "I see you are quite happy with your debt."

At the Liu family, Master Liu went to the storeroom to look for materials for carving seals. He searched several times but couldn't find them. "That's not right. I clearly put them on the cabinet. How come they are gone?"

Servants, "Master hasn't been here for a long time. Did I remember it wrongly?"

Lord Liu, "I won't be wrong."

He knew where his valuables were kept.

Lord Liu left the warehouse and hurried back to the yard, "Madam, have you touched my small warehouse?"

Guo didn't raise his head. "No, the things in the small warehouse are all your private collection."

Lord Liu was even more puzzled. "Then where did the material for my seal go?"

Guo suddenly slapped his head and said, "Look at my memory. A few days ago, I gave the key to your small warehouse to Yuanbo."

Lord Liu's voice suddenly rose, "How can you give it to him!"
