This farce ended with Lian Yuchuan's howling fading away.
When he returned to Lian's house, he would inevitably be beaten by Lian Beichuan.
The madam and others in the study finally arrived, surrounded by Lian Beichuan who had made all his beautiful remarks.
In fact, everyone knew very well that Mr. Lian was "cleaning up the house" and there was no need for them to step out and meddle in other people's affairs.
Gu Qingdai took advantage of the fact that no one else was paying attention to her stall, and officially returned the jade ring to Qu Biqian.
Qu Biqian saw that Gu Qingdai was unhappy, so she held her arm softly and said coquettishly: "Qingdai, don't be angry with me. I really don't want to cause conflicts between the two masters of the Lian family."
Gu Qingdai hesitated to speak, but then she thought about the situation she was in. There were some things she really couldn't control.
"Put the ring away. When you are free one day, I will ask you out to thank you."
"Why are you so polite to me? Come on, let me go back to the house and talk."
It was the busiest time of the day in the study room. How could Gu Qingdai be so ignorant?
"It's getting too late, I have to go back."
Gu Qingdai pushed Qu Biqian to go do her own thing first, while she walked out along the same path, wanting to leave the study apartment through the back door as soon as possible.
But her way was blocked again, this time it was not Lian Beichuan but Fan Zheng.
Taoyuan Bookstore is really a paradise for men, so many people are rushing in one after another.
Gu Qingdai quickly realized that Lian Yuchuan was here today, and he was probably the one who broke the news to Lian Beichuan.
Tooth for tooth, they are all vengeful masters.
Fan Zheng was accompanied by several disciples from the Imperial College, who were all still immersed in the joy of watching a good show.
"Where are you going, Shopkeeper Gu? Why don't you let me give you a ride."
"Don't bother Mr. Fan, I can leave by myself." Gu Qingdai avoided Fan Zheng and just wanted to get out of this place of right and wrong quickly.
How could Fan Zheng let her go so easily?
Taking advantage of their large number, they directly surrounded Gu Qingdai.
"I think your scar has healed and you have forgotten the pain. Do my people still need your courtesy?"
Lian Beichuan was like a ghost again, drifting behind her at some point.
Gu Qingdai tilted her head and widened her eyes at him.
Why is Lian Beichuan so arrogant? Who is his?
She has been determined to be at odds with Lian Beichuan all her life.
Fan Zheng laughed heartily: "Shopkeeper Gu, when did you get along with Second Master Lian? How dare you follow such a man? Didn't you see how he treated his brother just now?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? It's nothing!" Gu Qingdai didn't want others to misunderstand their relationship.
Lian Beichuan smiled inexplicably, "Shopkeeper Gu is now a tea buyer in my business. If he is not one of my people, is it possible that he is one of yours?"
Gu Qingdai snorted secretly, Lian Beichuan really had one thing, or one thing around another.
He had picked it right at this juncture, and if she tried to refute him again, she was really a bit ignorant.
People were helping her get rid of Fan Zheng's entanglement.
Fan Zheng's expression became a little stiff, and he thought that he seemed to have been deceived by the two of them.
He eagerly paid a high price to buy the Gu family's old house, thinking that it would make Lian Beichuan unhappy.
Lian Beichuan seized this excuse, turned around and ransacked their Fan family's medicine shop.
Not only did he get whipped by his father, but he also broke off his engagement with his long-time fiancée.
Gu Qingdai made money, and Lian Beichuan gained the prestige of the Chamber of Commerce president.
Now the two of them have become grasshoppers in the same boat again, and Fan Zheng is the only one who is being raped back and forth?
Lian Beichuan bumped Fan Zheng away with his shoulder, "I advise you not to make Mr. Fan angry. If you have time to spend your time here, why don't you think of ways to reopen your medical shop as soon as possible."
Fan Zheng was so angry that his cheeks were shaking: "Lian Beichuan!"
"Shopkeeper Gu, let's go."
In full view of everyone, Gu Qingdai and Lian Beichuan walked out of Taoyuan Book Apartment one after another.
It was already dark outside. Gu Qingdai followed him for a while and then slightly raised her voice: "Thank you, Mr. Lian, for rescuing me, but..."
Lian Beichuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "I knew there would be a but."
"I'm not going to buy it for you."
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, people in Luancheng will soon spread the news that you are a member of my Lian family."
"I know what you are trying to do with me. I advise you to give up."
Her subtext is: No matter what method you come up with to deceive me, I will never hand over that treasure map to you.
"Forget it, it's up to you."
"Farewell."
"Hey, I'll take you back. It's not safe to walk alone at night."
"You can't walk more than two miles from here to the teahouse. Besides, I've practiced Tai Chi, so I can fight two with no problem."
Gu Qingdai picked up the hem of her cheongsam and ran forward. Lian Beichuan didn't want to mess with her anymore, so he followed her all the way and sent her back to the Lion Awakening Teahouse.
Gu Qingdai was afraid of Lian Beichuan's dog-skin plaster. She usually paid homage to Mr. Guan to seek wealth. After that night, she kept asking Lian Beichuan to stay away from her.
It has been raining continuously in Luancheng for the past two days, and the renovation progress of the teahouse has not been greatly affected. After all, the main building is being modified and improved.
She and Gu Qingsong could still live in those cramped back rooms, but there was always endless dust to clean up, which made Gu Qingdai always feel like she hadn't washed her face cleanly.
As usual, she and Mr. Dong would inspect the tea house every morning, and then go to the arbor to do their work.
The drizzle was pattering on the roof of the shed. Occasionally, guests came running in, all seeking shelter from the rain.
Mr. Dong picked up the teacup and pushed away the foam, "I understand what the shopkeeper means, but isn't this a bit too big for your appetite?"
Mr. Dong's concerns are not unreasonable. Having been an accountant for so many years, the most important thing is his experience.
Gu Qingdai tapped the tea cup on the table, "A cup of tea can't be sold for much, and the guests who come to our teahouse are no more than those who go elsewhere. They stay for at least half an hour, and at most for a whole day.
"
Mr. Dong sighed: "This is an old habit that has lasted for many years. They are willing to find out information from each other in the teahouse."
"So we can't just earn the price of a cup of tea from them."
She took out a bunch of cut-out newspaper pamphlets, Western-style business cards and old-fashioned name cards from the small handbag she carried with her.
There are a gentleman who can tell stories, a pretty girl who can play and sing, several famous actors from major opera troupes, and several well-known tea doctors and pastry chefs.
Mr. Dong said the word "this" several times in a row. He was really shocked.
Is this girl her father’s biological child?
Her father was famous for his gentle temper, but Gu Qingdai was vigorous and resolute in everything she did.
"How long have you been collecting? Do you really plan to invite them one by one? Can you do it?"
"We will always meet people who are compatible with us. Only by changing a single teahouse into a comprehensive teahouse can we keep pace with the times."
"Advancing with the times?" Mr. Dong heard this term for the first time. He stroked his goatee and chewed it carefully for a long time.
Although his understanding was not thorough enough, he admired this little girl more and more.
He even regretted that his son married too early, otherwise he really should have married into the Gu family.
With Gu Qingdai's energy, she will definitely be the best wife.
Gu Qingdai originally wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with Mr. Dong, but she found that the old man had already arranged his gown and was getting ready to leave.
She looked in the direction the old man was looking and saw that someone was walking towards the pergola. This chapter has been completed!
