Gu Qingdai almost vomited. Didn't Fu Yanli return from studying abroad?
This set of tricks can also deceive those girls in the boudoir who have never left the house.
I really don’t know how the original owner calculated it in the first place.
Could it be that he was confused by his handsome appearance?
Gu Qingdai only said a few cursory words to him before leaving with an excuse.
Fu Yanli did not continue to pester, he generously opened a private room and asked for a few pots of good tea.
He and Fan Zheng clicked on one song left and right, and the rewards were given over and over again.
Gu Qingdai leaned against the door and watched for a while, then went to help in the kitchen.
Zhu Xiaojiu was not here, so he had to come up to the table and make some fur cakes.
On weekdays, when Zhu Xiaojiu is too busy, he will drag Mantang over to take action.
Over time, Mantang has secretly learned many skills.
"Shopkeeper, will you give me more money next year? I have another job!"
"Of course I'll add it, why do you have to ask?" Gu Qingdai scooped up a ladle of water for him.
Mantang pressed his hands on the chopping board and rubbed it harder, "Shopkeeper, I have something else to ask you."
Gu Qingdai deliberately clicked her tongue, "Why are you a hundred thousand people? Why do you always have those weird questions?"
"I regard the teahouse as my own home. Didn't I just agree to celebrate the New Year with you and the second shopkeeper?" The whole room laughed and laughed at Gu Qingdai.
"Liu'er also said that she would celebrate the New Year with us."
"That little lady was so angry when she first came here, she didn't even look at us seriously."
"Okay, stop being such a mouthful, what else do you want to ask me about?" Gu Qingdai turned around and helped him get another plate.
Mantang pointed to the second floor in front with his chin, "Why are those rooms over there not in use yet?"
"Isn't it enough for now?"
Mantang curled his lips, "The teahouse was full the first few days, and I didn't see the shopkeeper putting it out for use?"
Gu Qingdai smiled calmly and had no intention of hiding it from him, "Those rooms are not going to be private rooms, I want them to be a card-playing room."
"Ah?" The whole room was startled.
Ever since he called the teahouse, he had discovered that Gu Qingdai was a very troublesome woman.
If she hadn't been so beautiful, he once thought that she should be a man, like Lian Beichuan Huo Jie, a man who went out to see the world.
"Isn't it just the beginning to get acquainted with everyone? After the Chinese New Year, I put up the mahjong table. I went to choose several types of mahjong, and they all look very good."
"It is God's will not to allow our family to become the number one teahouse in Luancheng."
"Stop complimenting me. Do you know what it means to follow the trend?"
The whole room nodded solemnly.
"I have what others don't have. If others have my superiors, and if others are superior to me, I will be new. If I follow my sister, I will have meat to eat." Gu Qingdai patted his thick shoulder with a smile.
The whole room seemed to understand but scratched their heads and pointed out the mistake, "I seem to be several years older than the shopkeeper!"
"Then you have to call me shopkeeper."
After Mantang made the pastries and sent them out, Gu Qingdai helped him clean up briefly and prepared to go back to the room to rest.
"Shopkeeper Gu is really hard-working, so where are you?" As soon as she stepped out of the kitchen, she saw Fu Yanli walking around.
"Is Mr. Fu leaving?"
"There's no point in going back too early. It's better to stay here and accompany Shopkeeper Gu."
"I don't dare bother Mr. Fu. I'm very tired. I have to go back to my room to rest."
Fu Yanli followed him straight away, "Then why not ask shopkeeper Gu to take me to the boudoir to visit."
"You also know that this is a boudoir, how can you let outsiders visit it at will? Mr. Fu, please do so." Gu Qingdai resolutely turned Fu Yanli away.
She thought this attitude was enough to explain everything. How could she have imagined that Fu Yanli would come to the teahouse almost every day after that.
Sometimes with Fan Zheng, sometimes with the Lu brothers, and sometimes alone.
She also always looks for opportunities to appear in front of Gu Qingdai, more or less confiding her feelings to Gu Qingdai and getting closer.
Until the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Fu Yanli had not returned to his home in Oklahoma City, but still came to the Xingshi Tea House to drink tea to pass the time.
Gu Qingdai learned from Fu Yanli intermittently that he was indeed the son of the Fu family, but he was Master Fu's illegitimate son living abroad.
His father had originally promised the mother and son that when he returned from studying abroad, he would take them home to recognize their ancestors.
However, contrary to expectations, his mother unfortunately died of illness half a year before he returned to China.
His father kept urging him to go home quickly, but he resented his father's indifference to his mother and still refused to forgive Mr. Fu.
On the cruise ship returning to China, I happened to meet Lu Minghe, who I fell in love with, and followed him to Luancheng.
He first stayed with the Lu family, and then became acquainted with a group of wealthy children in Luancheng. He was then arranged by the warm-hearted Fan Zheng to live temporarily in the vacant Gu family's old house.
Fu Yanli felt that he was destined to be with Gu Qingdai, and he always said behind others' backs that he had a unique feeling sleeping on the bed where Gu Qingdai had slept.
Gu Qingdai only felt disgusted after hearing about it, and she had no interest in his tragic past.
She just felt sorry for the Gu family's old house and always let Fan Zheng take it out and destroy it at will.
She secretly set two goals for the new year: to help Qu Biqian redeem her life and to buy her old home.
The prerequisite for achieving these two goals is that the teahouse must prosper.
"We are closing early today. Why don't Mr. Fu go back and have a rest earlier?" Gu Qingdai rarely took the initiative to talk to him, but she was driving away guests.
Fu Yanli did not drink, but looked confused and stared, "Shopkeeper Gu, my heart that has nowhere to rest can only be warmed by you..."
Gu Qingdai almost vomited her dinner.
"Qingdai, shall I read you a sonnet? Do you know what a sonnet is?"
Gu Qingdai frowned and crossed her arms. She was completely speechless towards Fu Yanli. She really wanted to know what kind of heartless woman could do this to him.
She soon knew the answer.
Qin Liuer did not return home that night and stayed with Gu Qingdai.
In order to avoid having to make another trip on New Year's Eve tomorrow, there is no one on the road. The coachman and the little girl she hired have already taken leave and gone home.
Qin Liuer told Gu Qingdai that while Fu Yanli showed his loyalty to her in various ways, he also teased her in various ways under her nose.
Gu Qingdai stared at Qin Liu'er inexplicably, "You are not tempted, are you? His life experience is obviously doubtful, even if he is an idle rich kid, he is not like him?"
Qin Liuer quickly explained to Gu Qingdai: "Shopkeeper, don't worry, I have also met the man. I just think this matter is funny, so I will tell you when I think of it."
Only then did Gu Qingdai put her heart back in her stomach.
"I heard that after eating at the Lu family, he went to the Fan family. Anyway, he took advantage of others. Some of the female guests who came to our teahouse seemed to be quite interested in him."
Qin Liuer sat in front of Gu Qingdai's dressing mirror and slowly disassembled the headdress.
She has always been dressed in the style of the late previous dynasty, with a big-breasted coat and a long skirt, which gave her a unique charm.
"What have I been busy with all day? Let him do these things in my teahouse!"
"This is all a matter for the wisher to take the bait. Shopkeeper, how do you take care of it?"
Qin Liuer and Gu Qingdai both felt that they were both laughing and crying. This chapter has been completed!
