Chapter 94 Home Visit
Gu Ziyun knelt outside Liuting Pavilion at night. During this time, Gu Zixuan, Gu Suiyu and Gu Zilu all went in and out of Liuting Pavilion, but he was the only one who could not enter.
Seeing that it was getting late, Gu Ziyun could only stand up with disappointment on his face.
He also knew that it was not so easy to get into Su Jin's house, but he did not expect his mother to be so hard-hearted that she knelt for such a long time without any hesitation.
Humph, if it weren't for his own future, he wouldn't have come to Liuting Pavilion. When he becomes a prime minister and a marquis in the future, he will definitely take back all the humiliation he suffered today!
The young man frowned, glanced fiercely at Liuting Pavilion, then turned and left.
The Marquis' Mansion appears calm on the surface, but in fact, undercurrents are surging and everyone has their own thoughts.
Old Madam Zou had always wanted to let Su Jin be the housekeeper, but now Su Jin was in poor health, so she made the decision and asked Su Jin to arrange someone to take charge of the purchases for the entire mansion.
This is a lucrative job and a very important one.
Not to mention that the masters in the mansion need to purchase various things on a daily basis, even the maids and servants, who usually use rouge, powder, handkerchiefs, are all purchased. Zou is giving face to Su Jin, and by the way, she is also telling everyone in the mansion that the eldest lady will be the mistress of the marquis's mansion sooner or later, and will be the housekeeper sooner or later. Arranging purchases is a sign, and also a warning, warning these people to be more respectful to Su Jin in the future and avoid causing trouble.
Su Jin's reaction to this was to quickly arrange people. As long as she was not asked to work, anything would be fine.
Before the old woman left, Su Jin still gave her instructions, asking her to keep good accounts, be careful in her work, and not give others an excuse to accuse her.
As soon as this matter was arranged, Lin Wanhui tore the handkerchief in her hand.
If it weren't for the incident with An Xiaoniang, his right to manage the yard would not have been taken away by Su Jin. Now, the people around him might have to arrange the purchases. But now, everything belongs to Su Jin!
How abominable.
Lin Wanhui was unhappy, but the other concubines didn't react at all.
Anyway, it doesn't matter to them who the housekeeper is, as long as it's not Lin Wanhui. This person withholds their monthly wages. Comparing them this way, the eldest lady is better.
The days passed as usual, and soon, Sun Lan's family brought a middle-aged man into Liuting Pavilion.
The man was wearing shorts, had a smile on his face, and had a sweet smell that only came from a pastry shop. When he came, the greedy maids in the yard all looked over here.
"Madam, this is Manager Liu from our dim sum shop."
Su Jin nodded, not understanding why the owner of the dim sum shop came to her place.
Shopkeeper Liu was a man who understood what was going on. He immediately handed over the food box in his hand and said, "Madam, these are snacks made in our own shop. I specially brought them here to show my filial piety."
As he spoke, he placed the food box on the table, attracting Jin Chuan and a few others to come over.
The snacks inside are common ones on the market. They look good in shape, baked to a slightly yellowish color and crispy and soft. The peach blossom pastry and lotus seed pastry are also perfectly shaped. The unique fruit aroma wafts through, making people's appetites grow.
Su Jin was tempted by the taste, picked one up at random, tasted it, and nodded: "It tastes good."
Shopkeeper Liu said happily: "If the lady likes it, I'm relieved, but..."
Shopkeeper Liu hesitated for a moment and said, "It's just that our shop doesn't have any special features. Recently, a new Ruolan pastry shop opened nearby. They launched a new thing called egg tarts, which took away all our business..."
“Cough cough cough…”
Su Jin covered her mouth and Yuchuan quickly rubbed her chest.
"You, uh, who are you talking about?"
"Ruolan Dessert Shop."
“…”
Ning Ruolan?
Okay, the female lead again.
The soap business has just started, right? Now you’re starting to make snacks?
Egg tart??
Needless to say, she felt greedy instantly. After all, she had been here for so long and couldn't eat many modern things. She missed them a lot.
Su Jin thought for a moment and said, "Let me think about it, you go back first."
Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Liu nodded happily: "Thank you, Madam. You have revitalized the restaurant's business and made the silk shop prosperous. I believe that with your guidance, our snack shop will be able to reach a higher level!"
“…”
The corners of Su Jin's mouth twitched. It turned out that he had come to ask her to come out of retirement. But, it was a pity that the hotel and the silk shop were enough for her to squander. As for the snack shop...
Forget it, as long as it doesn’t go bankrupt, at least I can be self-sufficient in dim sum in the future, how great is that.
After sending Manager Liu away, Gu Suiyu came out from the inner room and said happily, "Mother, leave this matter to me!"
Su Jin was instantly happy: "Okay, you do it!"
"Thank you, mother. I'll lend it to you again, Miss An!"
After saying that, he took An Xiaoniang and left. As for what the two of them would do with the snack shop, Su Jin could only say, it doesn't matter, it's up to you, as long as you don't make it bankrupt, the rest is up to you.
Alas, it is better to have a daughter. Look, she can relieve me of my worries. It’s very good.
Su Jin was just about to drink tea and enjoy some snacks comfortably when the little maid outside came to report that Mr. Zhuzhi had arrived.
Su Jin could only stand up to greet him.
"gentlemen."
Mr. Zhuzhi pinched his beard and smiled, bowing: "Sorry to bother you, madam."
"What brings you here, sir?"
Su Jin took a sip of tea and thought to herself, maybe he's here for a home visit just like before?
Home visits are fine, but forget about asking her to take care of the children. I really don’t have the patience or energy for that. Besides, she wants to live two more years.
Mr. Zhuzhi smiled and said, "I wonder how much the lady knows about Brother Lu?"
Brother Lu?
The fifth young master of the mansion, the thirteen-year-old Gu Zilu?
Su Jin went through the memories of his original body and said, "He is very calm and obedient. He can be considered a reserved and steady child."
In short, Gu Zilu has always been a good person in her impression. He is neither as unruly as Gu Zixuan who wanted to run away from home, nor as love-sick as Gu Suiyu. Instead, he is cautious in everything and is a calm and good child.
"What happened to Brother Lu?"
Su Jin suddenly had a bad feeling.
Mr. Zhuzhi sighed and silently took out two pieces of paper: "Madam, please take a look."
Su Jin picked up the paper and looked at it, only to find that the same poem was written on the two pieces of paper, but there were a few slightly different words, as if it had been deliberately modified.
"This is……"
She looked at Mr. Taketsuba.
"One was written by Yun Ge'er, and the other was picked up by me from the bushes. Judging from the handwriting, it should be Lu Ge's. If I am not mistaken, Yun Ge should have copied Lu Ge's poem, and Lu Ge knew about this from beginning to end. Maybe he took the initiative to give it to Yun Ge to copy. This piece of paper discarded in the bushes is the best evidence."
Oh!
Su Jin was so angry that he laughed.
This old five!
It was in vain that she always thought Gu Zilu was a worry-free person, but it turned out that he was the least worry-free person.
Why would you give your poems to Gu Ziyun to copy?
Moreover, looking at these poems, one can clearly feel that Gu Zilu is truly a man of great learning and talent.
