Gu Jiu felt that all the blood was frozen. She closed her eyes and adjusted her breathing, but her eyes felt particularly sour.

In her previous life, she was not allowed to be reborn or was saved. Her soul also drifted in the world for more than a thousand days and nights.

The last scene in her consciousness that she had in her previous life was because she stepped into the Duke of Ming Dynasty and saw Qin Zheng’s wedding.

But……

If Qin Zheng really likes Princess Tai'an, and she likes her so much that she can kill herself for the other party, how could he endure it for three years before marrying her?

On the day when Gu Jiu was reborn, she reminded herself at all times that she must not forget the cause of death in her previous life, and Ding Ao stayed away from Qin Zheng to save her life.

She didn't even want to think about those pasts.

It is clear that these are the things she will realize if she thinks about it.

Perhaps it was the nightmare of this string of Buddhist beads that made her realize this later.

Qin Zheng married Princess Tai'an three years later.

There is a rule left by our ancestors in the etiquette and law of Western Chu. Although few people have done it so far, Gu Jiu clearly remembers it.

That is, if your first wife dies, you can be mourned for three years.

This etiquette has been passed down for too long, and few men will abide by it nowadays.

After all, even if the couple has a deep relationship, most parents and elders are unwilling to watch their son be alone for three years for a dead woman.

Even if a man dies, a woman needs to be a widow for the rest of her life.

But in their opinion, that is natural.

It is precisely because of this that most men will not do this.

But back then, Gu Heming was mourning.

The eldest brother and sister-in-law had a very good relationship, so after the eldest sister-in-law died, the eldest brother proposed to mourn his wife for three years. Her parents liked this daughter-in-law, and the eldest sister-in-law died for dying childbirth, so the family never opposed it.

When Gu Jiu thought of this, his heart couldn't help but beat wildly. She subconsciously covered her beating heart that was beating too fast and couldn't help looking outside.

With the barrier of the screen, she couldn't see the man outside the screen.

But in that heart, a little depression and uneasiness arose for no reason.

In his previous life, Qin Zheng did not marry for three years, and it was not until three years later that his marriage with the princess was put on the agenda...

Is it to keep filial piety for myself?

Even though he knew that this idea was too ridiculous, Gu Jiu couldn't help but breathe a little faster.

If so?

Gu Jiu bit his lower lip tightly, but suddenly heard a man's voice coming from outside: "What's wrong?"

Although the man's voice was as indifferent as before, she inexplicably felt a little concerned.

Qin Zheng is more intelligent than ordinary people, so he can naturally hear something wrong in her voice.

The moment Gu Jiu heard his voice, he immediately came back to his senses.

Her lips were bitten and bloody, spreading into her mouth, which made her mind a little more.

She shook her head gently, but realized that Qin Zheng could not see it, so she whispered: "It's okay."

She thought, she was really crazy.

How could there be a ridiculous idea at that moment?

If the person who ordered someone to kill him in his previous life was not Qin Zheng, then whether he was not completely heartless towards her was not.

It’s not that the stone was not heated up, but she didn’t find it?

Qin Zheng heard a little disappointed from her voice, paused and asked, "Can't you sleep?"

Perhaps the moonlight was too soft, which made Qin Zheng’s heart feel a little tender.

There are some things that he should not ask for, nor can he ask for.

Since that's the case, let's stay away.

...

When Gu Jiuyi woke up, it was already midnight.

She has been running back and forth these days and has slept a little deeper last night.

After all, Gu Jiu recovered almost at a young age and had a good sleep all night. Seeing that he was rising and not sleeping, he ordered his maids to come in and serve him.

But after seeing the Buddhist beads tightly in my hand, I paused slightly.

She was clearly struggling with many problems last night, but now it seems that nothing has to bothered her.

The song under the moon at night not only allowed her to sleep for a night, but also made her think about many things clearly.

The past has passed, and she cannot go back to find out the truth, but she sees what Qin Zheng does in this life.

Therefore, just based on the current situation, it is up to me who owe others favors.

Gu Jiu made up his mind that he would not tease Qin Zheng again in the future, at least the two of them would live in peace.

Although she doesn't plan to be with Qin Zheng in this life, she can't become an enemy or stranger like before.

When Gu Jiu thought of this, he felt much better. She pressed the bracelet down on the pillow, got up and got out of bed.

After breakfast, it was almost noon.

Gu Jiu first took Atractylodes to the shop. When the shopkeeper saw her, he greeted her, with a flattering smile on his face: "Young boss."

Gu Jiu responded and asked immediately: "What's wrong?"

Hearing this, the man immediately smiled and bowed, "The masters of our Jinyuzhai have already verified it. This recipe is indeed a fine product, and the feedback given is also good."

He said while taking Gu Jiu to the backyard.

Gu Jiu listened carefully. After meeting the masters, he found that their thoughts were the same as his. He bent his lips and said, "I'll show him this modified prescription first. If it works, let's talk about what the next step is."

She did not directly reveal Zhuang Ziqi's name. One reason was that he was unwilling to be so arrogant, and the other reason was that his wealth would not be revealed.

Zhuangziqi has no background. Now she gave this money-making transaction to the other party, but if too many people know about it, there will inevitably be no other mistakes.

Everyone naturally had no objection to Gu Jiu's words. After responding, the masters went to work. As for the shopkeeper, they directly invited Gu Jiu to the account room on the second floor.

"Young boss."

Seeing his mysterious appearance, Gu Jiu couldn't help but laugh and asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything I can't say about it?"

Hearing her words, the shopkeeper first sighed and then said, "Young boss, this is the order for this month. Please check it out."

This month has not yet ended, so I will only need to watch it next month.

Gu Jiu didn't understand the intention, but saw him handing it over, so he also took the account book in his hand and began to read it carefully.

And this reading really found some problems.

"How did the flow of this month drop so much?"

Compared with last month, it has dropped by more than twice, and it is not as good as it was sold in ten days last month in more than twenty days.

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "To be honest, this is pretty good. You looked at the first twenty days, and in the past two days, there will be even fewer. The reason is that there is a new shop on Chang'an Street called Linlang Pavilion. Look at his Rouge—"

After Gu Jiu saw it, he frowned and said, "Isn't this the same as our family's...?"

From the breath to the outer packaging, it is exactly the same.

"And, the price of his rouge is one to five taels of silver cheaper than Jinyuzhai."

This price...

Gu Jiu's eyebrows and eyes were cold and said, "If I remember correctly, the masters in Jinyuzhai are all raised by us, and the formula is kept confidential. It is not surprising that his family makes similar things, but so similar that they are almost the same, have the people in the shop checked it?"

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "I have already checked one by one, so it's strange that we have been raising old people for many years. Besides, there is no abnormality in these days, and there is no reason to betray the owner. That's why it's a bit tricky. How do you think this matter is done?"

There was no such thing in my previous life.

In other words, in his previous life, Gu Jiu had already given Jin Yuzhai to Qin Zhiyao "taken on his behalf", so he didn't know if such a thing happened later.

But no matter what, soldiers come to block the water and soil.

"This matter involves the reputation of Jinyuzhai. Please check it carefully first. Leave it to me on the Linlang Pavilion, and I will check it out."

Gu Jiu said this and paused, saying, "Give me a copy of all the rouge that overlaps with Jinyuzhai, and compare them with Linlang Pavilion, and I will pack them together, and I will take them away."

Hearing this, the shopkeeper immediately claimed that he was. Seeing Gu Jiu pinching his eyebrows and thinking, he didn't disturb him much, so he hurried down to do this.

Gu Jiu picked up a piece of rouge, sniffed the smell, and grinded it a little, making his eyes a little darker.

The feel is similar, the taste is similar, and the ingredients are naturally similar.

Such a similarity must be due to an insider.

However, the things in Jinyuzhai have always been used in top quality, and this is for high-ranking officials and nobles, so they dare not be careless.

Even though Rouge's profit is high, it is gross profit. After deducting the cost of labor in the store, if you subtract one to five taels of silver, it will be equivalent to a loss of blood.

Linlang Pavilion is not so stupid, and it will lose money and make a lot of money, so there is definitely something wrong with the ingredients of rouge!
