Chapter 79 Hanzhang, you are beating yourself up
Chaoli had thought about finding a maid to work with Qing Yi before, so that Qing Yi would not be overwhelmed.
Now that Gu Hanzhang has sent Pei Yu over, it is much easier for her.
Pei Yu is not only reliable at work, but she also has martial arts skills. If she encounters a situation like that at a palace banquet in the future, only Pei Yu can handle it.
It was also for this reason that Chaoli finally agreed to the two of them staying.
"Thank you, Master." the brother and sister said happily.
Chao Li waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be like this. You are my people from now on, and I will not treat you harshly. Next, Pei Qian, you secretly keep an eye on Chen Zhao, the official of Guanglu Temple, and see which woman he likes."
It's easy to do it. Pei Yu will stay with me, serve with Qing Yi, and listen to her arrangements."
"Yes, master." Pei Qian took the order and left.
In the next few days, Chaoli felt a lot more relaxed with Pei Qian and Pei Yu by his side.
However, I haven't seen Gu Hanzhang in the past few days, and I don't know where he went, so Chaoli didn't ask any more questions.
Perhaps it was because they came back from the palace banquet on the 15th and had a unpleasant quarrel with Princess Desao and her daughter. During this period, Shaohuayuan and Gu Xiyue were relatively quiet and did not come to trouble Chaoli.
Also, the red jade was sold to a slave by Princess Desao. Gu Xiyue had no one around, so she was naturally quiet.
While Chaoli was waiting, the opportunity finally came to make an appointment between Song Lingxin and Cen.
Today, Chaoli picked up Cen and her daughter and went to the shop.
After having Pei Yu, Chaoli no longer needs a coachman when traveling, only Pei Yu is enough. She is considered a more versatile maid.
The carriage drove for a distance and then opened his mouth to Li.
"Aunt Cen, thank you for your willingness to accompany me to visit my shops. I haven't inspected them since I got married. The account book handed over by Qing Yi said that each shop was in loss. I don't know whether it is true or not. I
I didn't quite believe it, so I asked Aunt Cen to help me take a look. I don't know what went wrong, but it caused trouble for Aunt Cen." Chaoli said with a smile.
Mrs. Cen chuckled, "You girl, you've already met me, haven't you? It's just to look at the shop. It's not a troublesome thing. I'm very familiar with it."
"Yes, Ah Li, my mother is in charge of all matters in the house, including the shop. You have found the right person for her. How about you treat us to a meal in Lingering Garden? Last time we were both together.
I went on a trip and I haven't had time to taste the specialties yet, so I have to try it today anyway." Song Ling was also very happy.
"It's simple, let's go to the Liuyuan Garden at noon." Chaoli replied.
However, I am afraid that Song Lingxin and her daughter will not be in the mood to eat by then.
Chaoli secretly apologized to Song Lingxin and Cen in her heart. They might both be very angry today, and it was hard for her to say it out right now.
If I tell them, it will be even harder to explain later.
"Okay, then my mother and I will make our imperial concubine spend money. Anyway, you are not short of money." Song Lingxin covered her lips and smiled.
Mrs. Cen reached out and tapped Song Lingxin's forehead angrily, "You're a skinny monkey, you just know how to eat, eat, eat, learn from A Li, look at how dignified and elegant she is. Look at you again, hey, why did I give birth?
You're such a bad person."
That's what he said, but there was no hint of disdain in Mrs. Cen's eyes.
"That's a pity, mother, you only have me."
Song Lingxin was used to being criticized, so she didn't care at all. She reached out to the small table and took out a piece of mung bean cake to eat by herself.
The atmosphere in the carriage was very good, and the three of them were very happy.
Not long after, the carriage stopped in front of a spice shop, and the three of them got out of the carriage.
Opposite this spice shop, there happens to be a three-story restaurant.
By the window on the third floor, two people were sitting facing each other. However, they could not see the top from the bottom, but the top could see the situation below.
"Hey, Hanzhang, look, isn't that Chaoli?" Chengfeng shouted.
Gu Hanzhang was still thinking about what to do next, but was suddenly disturbed by Cheng Feng's voice, and his thoughts were interrupted.
"There is no hierarchy between elder and younger." Gu Hanzhang continued to read.
Chengfeng touched his nose after hearing this, with a lot of confusion in his eyes.
"Tsk, tsk, you are so protective of the imperial court, no, sister-in-law. You didn't say it yourself. You have no feelings for her at all. You only married her as the eldest concubine of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. Why has your attitude changed now? Tsk, tsk, tsk, haha.
Zhang, you are just beating yourself up."
He had asked before, and it was Gu Hanzhang who said that he had no intention of leaving. Now he is so protective, but it doesn't look like he has no feelings at all.
Cheng Feng smiled rather wildly, and Gu Hanzhang only glanced at him lightly before looking away, removing the gloomy look in his eyes.
"The imperial edict has been issued. I am the one in charge of Chunwei. There is no need to hide the matters over there in Xishan."
Cheng Feng nodded, "Yes, but you have only been married for a few days. Have you ever told your sister-in-law about your trip to Xishan?"
Gu Hanzhang was rarely uncomfortable and shook his head slightly.
"I will talk to her about traveling far away, not going to Khe Sanh to deal with the Huns."
"Why, you don't want my sister-in-law to worry about you?" Cheng Fengguai asked with a smile.
Contrary to what Cheng Feng thought, Gu Hanzhang was not worried that Chaoli would be worried about him, but was afraid that he would not get a word of concern after telling him.
According to Chaoli's current attitude, I'm afraid she doesn't have anything to say to him.
Doomed to disappointment, it is better not to have hope.
"Okay, you are always so unruly. Sooner or later, Duke Cheng Guo will marry you a wife and let her take good care of you." Gu Hanzhang said solemnly.
Cheng Feng almost couldn't sit still, "No, I'm afraid of you, why do you talk the same thing? I don't need a wife, there are so many girls out there, I can't even count them. You are married and have a wife."
, but don’t let me go down this road, I will be free for a few more years.”
"Let's get down to business. Prince Rui has a lot of connections in the court. Go back and tell the prince that you must never interfere in the Chunwei incident again and must be avoided. Prince Li was previously implicated in the Jiangnan textile family. He will definitely deal with Prince Rui next. It's up to him.
They fight, and we take advantage of it." Gu Hanzhang picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Okay, I will definitely tell the prince about this." Chengfeng thought for a while and then said, "But Xishan and his party, you have to be careful not to get hurt."
Gu Hanzhang said thoughtfully, "Yeah."
The two of them then talked about something that was not too important, and Gu Hanzhang's eyes drifted to the spice shop opposite.
In the spice shop, Chaoli always felt as if she was being watched, but she looked around and saw nothing. Maybe it was just her illusion and she didn't pay much attention.
After entering the spice shop, Chaoli immediately identified herself and asked the shopkeeper to bring the account book to her.
Mr. Cen took it, flipped through the account book with his left hand, and counted the abacus with his right hand.
When the shopkeeper saw this scene, his eyes rolled and he didn't know what he was thinking.
