Chapter 347 The way to care about her
Gu Xixi's heart has been occupied by delicious food.
She walked quickly forward, urging Mu Nanzhao to catch up in a low voice.
Mu Nanzhao looked at her back, and the smile in his eyes faded.
Instead, there is a deep and complex emotion.
Once again confirmed a fact.
She really didn't want to marry him, at least she was determined at the moment.
But for Mu Nanzhao, he already knew her choice, so he didn't feel disappointed.
He values other discoveries.
Just now in the imperial study, Mu Nanzhao acted as if he didn't care much about Gu Xixi in front of the emperor, and he didn't even look at her directly a few times throughout the whole process.
This was of course intentional.
But Mu Nanzhao caught every reaction and expression of Gu Xixi.
He was sure that she did not like this magnificent palace, which symbolized glory in the eyes of others.
Realizing that Gu Xixi was forcing herself to adapt, Mu Nanzhao actually felt distressed.
So after coming out of that place, he deliberately used delicious food to lure her in, in order to make her think about the things she liked and quickly forget the feeling of having to bow her head and suppress herself.
Mu Nanzhao looked back one last time and thought to himself that he should try to bring her here less often in the future.
Gu Xixi and Mu Nanzhao met He Jinglan in the palace.
They left the palace together and left the palace gate in He's carriage.
It was convenient to talk at this time. He Jinglan looked at Gu Xixi's expression and knew that her wish had been achieved.
I am sincerely happy for her. "Although it is said that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger, as long as you can travel around Daye easily in the future and do whatever you want without having to beg for favors, your risk today will not be in vain."
When Gu Xixi thought about the future, her heart was filled with hope and she smiled sincerely.
"That's right. Let's not talk about the future. Right now, I can ask Qingtian County to approve the wasteland for me. And if I can get the official tea status, the two major problems may be solved."
She has limited funds, and co-operating with the county government to run a tea garden is currently the most cost-effective and quickest way.
He Jinglan took Gu Xixi's hand and shook it, "We have to celebrate today!"
She looked at Mu Nanzhao.
Mu Nanzhao looked resigned to his fate, "Juxianlou, order whatever you want."
He Jinglan smiled and said, "Xixi, this Juxian Restaurant is not ordinary. It is said that the cheapest dish costs one tael of silver."
"I was originally planning to take you there, but now it just so happens that someone is richer than me and can help me save money."
Gu Xixi cooperated and said seriously, "You have already spent a lot of money on that dessert shop. You still have to spend money in the early stage of starting a business. You should be frugal in every aspect."
He Jinglan pursed her lips and looked at Gu Xixi, then nodded pitifully.
"That's right. Think about it, you are also in the early stages of starting a business. It will take a long time for fruit trees and tea trees to make money. We two are really in a difficult situation, a pair of poor little bitter melons!"
Gu Xixi forced a smile and thought, isn't this acting a bit too much?
Mu Nanzhao saw through everything and asked expressionlessly, "Tell me, what else do you want?"
He Jinglan, who was originally depressed, suddenly became energetic. "Give the dessert shop a name and write a plaque in person!"
Mu Nanzhao sighed, "Why don't you two name your own shop?"
It’s okay that Xixi is not good at writing.
He Jinglan was trained in music, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood.
There's something strange.
Mu Nanzhao looked at He Jinglan firmly, "Aren't you proud of your calligraphy?"
"It's such a rare opportunity to have the world admire your calligraphy. How could you be willing to give it to me?"
He Jinglan slapped the tea table and said confidently, "Of course there is a reason."
"Think about it, who has been the top choice for the dream lover of every daughter in the capital city in the past six months?"
Mu Nanzhao's face froze and he subconsciously glanced at Gu Xixi.
Coincidentally, Gu Xixi also looked at him with a smile.
For the first time, Mu Nanzhao felt like he was being seen through, and he quickly looked away, "It's just a plaque, right? When you need it, just tell me a day in advance."
He Jinglan clapped her hands and said happily, "You see, the main customers of the dessert shop are still women."
"Everyone knows that the Regent is an excellent calligrapher. How many of them would go through so much trouble to get the Regent's calligraphy? It's a pity that the Regent never writes for anyone."
"So we just need to hang the plaque named and written by the Regent himself outside the gate!"
He Jinglan imagined the scene and couldn't help laughing out loud.
Mu Nanzhao glanced sideways, "I really want to see your brother's expression if he saw your profit-seeking businessman spirit."
As he spoke, he looked at Gu Xixi, clearly hinting at something.
Gu Xixi looked back at him innocently, then calmly turned to the window to look at the street view.
Even if people get redder when they are around red things, and get blacker when they are around black things, so what?
He Jinglan didn't care and continued to explain her grand plan.
"At the opening ceremony, many people rushed to see the calligraphy, which was definitely better than setting off 10,000 firecrackers!"
"Besides, you were the one who came up with the name of the store. I only needed to give a slight hint, and even the Regent praised our sweet soup."
"All the wealthy people in the capital... oh no, the wealthy people will flock to it, right?"
Gu Xixi turned back and said seriously, "Although the prince is not short of money, the fee should still be paid."
He Jinglan nodded vigorously, "Yes! It's included in the cost!"
Mu Nanzhao no longer had the energy to sigh. He glanced at Gu Xixi without leaving any trace and said, "It's not just women who are attracted to me."
He didn't want to be branded as "overly attractive" in Gu Xixi's mind.
He Jinglan thought about it and finally took up the topic as Mu Nanzhao wished.
"For example, colleagues who are impressed by your ability and sincerely follow you? And... the vast number of scholars and candidates who are attracted by your talent?"
Mu Nanzhao pretended not to care and nodded slightly.
In fact, he was proudly observing Gu Xixi's reaction by secretly glancing at her.
But then I heard He Jinglan say, "These people might prefer to go to a teahouse."
"After thinking about it, repeat customers and word of mouth mainly depend on women."
Mu Nanzhao's face turned slightly green.
So in the end, his role is to attract men and women, right?
And judging from what Gu Xixi said, she seemed to agree.
Or was this bad idea originally proposed by Gu Xixi? !
Gu Xixi had no idea what Mu Nanzhao was thinking at the moment. She thought he was a little embarrassed and was naturally unhappy.
She thought that since she had gained such a huge benefit, it would be impolite to push the host too far.
So Gu Xixi changed the subject, "The eunuch Jingdong who led the way for me today."
"He hesitated when he spoke of the Regent."
She looked at Mu Nanzhao and asked sincerely, "Is there any unknown past between you and him?"
"Oh, I'm just a little curious. If it's inconvenient to talk about it, forget it."
Mu Nanzhao glanced at him calmly, "There is nothing I can't tell you."
"Last year, when I was handling an old case of injustice, his family was just one of the cases..."
Listening to him, Gu Xixi felt hungry. Seeing the silver eight-treasure pine branch teapot on the table, she wanted to drink some tea to relieve her hunger.
Because the tea table was on the side where Mu Nanzhao was sitting, she couldn't reach it and could only stand up and lean over to reach it.
At this moment, the carriage suddenly made a sharp turn and then braked suddenly!
