Chapter 200 Going Back

Chapter 200 Going Back

Gu Zilu took a deep breath.

It seems that Xie Huaiguang ranks first in his mother's heart, and Prince Rui can only be ranked second.

Alas, poor Prince Rui~

However, putting aside identity, age and the like, if one really wanted to compare, he also admitted that Xie Huaiguang's appearance was definitely the undisputed number one.

His mother turned out to be a member of Yan's party.

“I think so.”

Gu Zilu thought: "It's hard to say. What a woman thinks is beautiful may not be the same as what a man thinks is beautiful."

Gu Zilu couldn’t really put it into words, but he thought this senior brother was quite good-looking.

Su Jin didn't care: "It doesn't matter, mother will prepare food for you, and you can bring your own wine."

She also has some wine, but it is all flower wine and fruit wine brewed by An Xiaoniang. It is not enough for her herself, so she naturally won't share it with others.

While the mother and daughter were chatting, Zhao Yingqiao was also questioning the servant in the Grand Princess's mansion.

"Did Gu Suiyu see the letter?"

"In reply to the eldest princess, I saw it and handed it to the fourth young lady personally."

"It's been several days, and she hasn't made any movement at all?!"

Zhao Yingqiao found it incredible.

Anyone who saw the letter would guess that she was very angry. As a daughter-in-law, Gu Suiyu didn't react at all?

"ha!"

Zhao Yingqiao was furious. What kind of wife did her son get?

Up to now, firstly, he has not shown up, and secondly, there has been no correspondence or oral news. Is he pretending that he didn't see anything?

Zhao Yingqiao was so angry that her breathing became rapid. She patted her chest fiercely, and the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt.

It's bad enough that her son makes her angry, but her daughter-in-law also does what she wants!

"Su Jin, the good daughter you taught really has no rules at all!"

Zhao Yingqiao had originally planned to let Gu Suiyu learn some etiquette, but now, she really didn't want to pay any attention to Gu Suiyu. People like him were not worthy of entering her home!

"Sure enough, she's just like her father, both of them have no rules!"

Zhao Yingqiao cursed angrily, and felt even more displeased with Gu Suiyu.

But no matter whether Zhao Yingqiao likes it or not, Gu Suiyu still does his own thing.

Her mother was right. It was meaningless for her to go to the Grand Princess's mansion now or not. The Grand Princess would not be relieved if she went. On the contrary, she would be suspected for no reason if she went. Instead of that, she might as well not go. All mothers love their children. What she should do is not to please the Grand Princess, but to let her know that she would be a good wife.

So, no rush.

Gu Suiyu was extremely busy.

Ning Ruolan's hot pot restaurant was very popular, so Gu Suiyu and Ning Ruolan came up with a collaboration. The wine and dishes from Su Ji Restaurant were moved into the hot pot restaurant, and the hot pot in the hot pot restaurant was also moved into Su Ji Restaurant. Ning Ruolan even made a co-branded fan with a hot pot painted on the front and the couplet at the entrance of Su Ji on the back.

Originally it was just a very common couplet in a restaurant, but Xie Huaiguang happened to pass by and learned that the two were going to produce a co-branded fan with Su Ji's couplet written on the back. Xie Huaiguang took a look at the couplet, thought it was too ordinary, so he personally wrote a new couplet.

As soon as this couplet came out, Su Ji Restaurant became popular again. Gu Sui Yu took advantage of the popularity and opened three more Su Ji Restaurants in Beijing. With the addition of Ning Ruolan's hotpot, Su Ji Restaurant became an instant hit.

Although it is cold in the capital city in winter, people are hiding in restaurants, fanning themselves with co-branded fans and eating steaming hot pot.

It was snowing heavily outside and steaming inside. The literati and scholars were fanning themselves with branded fans. The couplet on the back of the hot pot was written by Xie Huaiguang, the top scholar who won the top three prizes in the imperial examination this year.

"Busy for fame, busy for profit, take a break from the busy schedule and have a couple of cups of tea;

It's hard work, it's hard work, but find joy in the midst of hardship and bring me another pot of wine."

There are no lofty sentences, nor gorgeous and obscure phrases. They are so fluent that even a toothless old lady can recite them. However, these two doggerel poems express the carefree and leisurely leisure in the midst of busyness. No matter how big the matter is, you must always take a break from your busy schedule and have a drink to cheer yourself up in the midst of hardship.

Literary men and scholars praised Xie Huaiguang very much, comparing him to the Immortal Poet. For a time, fans with the co-branded design were hard to come by.

Business is good, so Gu Suiyu is naturally happy, and Ning Ruolan is also happy.

As the heroine, she opened three businesses this year: soap, snacks, and hot pot, all of which are very popular. She is just waiting to make enough money next year to buy a ship, send people out to sea, head east, to America, and bring back peppers and corn first.

Thinking of chili peppers, Ning Ruolan also drooled. Without chili peppers, there would be so much less delicious food in this world! !

"This is my plan. When the time comes, we can get some new varieties and plant them together!"

Ning Ruolan talked freely. She already regarded Gu Suiyu as her best friend. She liked Su Jin, and she also liked Su Jin's daughter.

Gu Sui Yu couldn't help but feel excited when listening to Ning Ruolan talking about all kinds of things outside. It was a pity that she was a girl. If she were a boy, she would be able to go out to sea on a ship next year and see the outside world.

"By the way, I'm also planning to open a high-end club..."

Gu Suiyu was full of questions: "What is that?"

"Yes, it's a very high-end restaurant, the kind where you have to spend at least ten taels of silver to enter."

Gu Suiyu was shocked.

"Can it be opened?"

"Why not? Look at Baihua Tower. You need three taels of silver to enter. The rich and powerful start with more than ten or twenty taels of silver. Some can even spend thousands of taels!"

There are many wealthy people in Beijing, so this kind of high-end club can definitely be opened.

"Don't worry, I will find Prince Rui as my partner. With a royal background, I won't have to worry about business. However, my club needs to be supplied with fresh vegetables and fruits all year round, so I need a greenhouse. You can ask my aunt if it can be built, and then we can form a partnership together!"

Su Jin has a lot of farms and is very rich, so it would only take a few minutes for him to build a greenhouse. Ning Ruolan admires Su Jin and is willing to be close to him. Moreover, she has always been clear-headed and understands that one person cannot accomplish great things.

"Okay, I'll go back and ask my mother."

**

The old house of the Lin family was sold long ago when they left the capital, and the money had long been spent.

Lin Wanhui's younger brother was idle, ate and drank a lot, and liked gambling. The little money he had was not enough for him to squander.

However, Lin Wanhui still brought all the members of the Lin family back, and even used the money from the Marquis' Mansion to buy a courtyard for her brother. It was not big, with only two entrances, just an ordinary house.

Lin Zhi was not satisfied with this courtyard, and muttered: "This courtyard is not even as big as the original one, and the furniture is old. Moreover, this location is too remote, isn't it? Sister, the Marquis's Mansion is so rich, but it only bought a courtyard like this, isn't it too stingy?"

Lin Zhi had been relying on Lin Wanhui for support, and the time when Lin Wanhui was the housekeeper was the most comfortable time of his life.

But now, things are really going backwards.
