After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official

After Li's guidance, Gu Rou felt much better.

She was going to be a marquis' wife in the future, so why should she be angry with Gu Jin.

So when the four of them met at the door, Gu Rou smiled again, "Big sister, let's go back together."

This time it was Xie Ran who refused.

"Brother and sister-in-law, please go back first. I will take Jin'er out for a walk."

Xie Qing frowned, glanced at Gu Jin who was supporting Xie Ran, and said in a slightly cold voice, "It's almost time for dinner. Do you still want Grandmother to wait for you?"

"Jin'er and I won't be going back home for dinner today. Big brother, please tell my grandmother for me." After saying that, he ignored Xie Qing and Gu Rou, and said softly, "Madam, let's go."

Gu Jin nodded obediently, not looking at Xie Qing's murderous eyes.

"Where are you taking me?" Gu Jincai asked after getting on the carriage.

Xie Ran kept it a secret and said with a smile: "You'll know when you get there."

Gu Jin didn't ask any more questions and secretly planned for the future.

Now she owns two shops, a silk shop and a small restaurant. Although the business is average, it is the foundation of her survival in this era.

She can leave Yongchang Marquis Mansion once the business is on track. She has no interest in accompanying a group of women in the backyard to engage in intrigue. Isn't it good to live a leisurely life counting money?

If I feel lonely, I will find two handsome young men, but I don’t know if I can find one as good-looking as Xie Ran.

Xie Ran had been staring at Gu Jin, and her bright eyes were full of ripples. Sometimes she frowned in deep thought, and sometimes she smiled knowingly as if she was thinking about something.

It is said that people with deep thoughts never show their emotions on their faces, but this Miss Gu's mental activities are exceptionally active.

Suddenly, Gu Jin looked up at Xie Ran, and their eyes met.

Xie Ran quickly lowered the scrutiny in his eyes and asked gently, "What's wrong?"

Gu Jin certainly couldn't admit that he was thinking about the prostitute's house just now, so he turned his eyes and asked, "You should have a lot of connections in Beijing, and the people you interact with are all high-ranking officials and nobles, right?"

A cold light flashed in Xie Ran's eyes, but his smile remained unchanged. "Why do you think of asking this?"

Is the fox's tail finally going to be exposed?

"Do you know anyone who has a complicated disease or is terminally ill?" Gu Jin's eyes were burning.

Xie Ran: “…”

As if afraid that Xie Ran would refuse, Gu Jin hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I won't let you help for nothing.

I'll give you 30% of the patients you refer to me, how about that?"

Xie Ran: “…”

Gu Jin felt a little distressed about the 30% cut, but with the belief of playing the long game and catching the big fish, Gu Jin felt that the money was worth it.

Xie Ran was silent for a while, and finally asked, "Madam, are you short of money?"

Gu Jin gave Xie Ran a look that said "Is there any need to ask this?" If she wasn't short of money, would she have picked up a bunch of junk from the Marquis of Anding's mansion?

"Didn't Ruyi tell Madam that your mother-in-law's family is rich enough to rival a country?"

Anything she could coax out of Su would be enough for her to squander for a while.

"I know." Gu Jin said calmly, "But no matter how rich your mother is, it's still hers. A gentleman loves money but earns it in a proper way. I like money, but I like my own money even more."

If you rely on the mountain, the mountain will fall; if you rely on people, they will run away. Nowadays, even your parents and brothers may betray you behind your back, let alone other people.

Su treats her well because she is now Xie Ran's wife. If they break up in the future, does she still have to rely on her ex-mother-in-law to live?

Xie Ran couldn't see through her for a moment. Although she was honest, she was full of secrets. But if you say she had ulterior motives, she loved money so purely.

Xie Ran nodded in agreement, "Okay, then I'll keep an eye on it for you, and you can keep the consultation fee for yourself."

Since I can't see through her now, I'll just continue to follow her rhythm. The fox will show its tail sooner or later.

Gu Jin smiled even more when he heard this, but he still said politely: "How can that be possible? I don't want to let you work for nothing..."

"In that case, I will accept it with reluctance."

Gu Jin: “…”

Seeing the smile on Gu Jin's face suddenly stop, her beautiful pink lips were pursed into a thin line, and her bright eyes were filled with regret.

Xie Ran curved his lips, his pair of deep black eyes flickered with light, dazzling and dazzling.

Even he himself did not notice that there was no falseness in his smile at this moment, it was completely a joy that came from the heart.

When the two arrived at Zui Xiang Lou, Gu Jin was still looking listless, regretting when he had developed the habit of being too talkative, and why he had to be humble that time!

Xie Ran acted as if he didn't see it and just ordered a few dishes with the waiter.

When the dishes were served, Gu Jin realized something was wrong. "Aren't these snacks the ones we had at the Bo's Mansion just now..."

Xie Ran picked up a jujube paste roll for Gu Jin, and said in a voice as soft as jade, "When we were at the Bo's Mansion, I saw that you seemed to be interested in these snacks, so I thought of bringing you to try them."

The dim sum at Zui Xiang Lou was not only delicious but also exquisitely presented. Gu Jin wanted to try it out of pure curiosity, but ended up having them all taken away by that naughty kid Gu Ming.

I didn’t expect Xie Ran still remembered it.

No one has ever been so attentive to her since she was a child.

Gu Jin lowered her head and ate snacks in small bites. Her eyelashes were long and thick, fluttering gently like butterfly wings, covering her eyes.

It is worthy of being the most difficult snack to buy in Beijing. It is soft and fragrant, and really delicious.

"Zui Xiang Lou has a fixed number of dim sum every day, so many families have to line up early in the morning to buy them."

Seeing that Gu Jinying liked it very much, Xie Ran curved her lips and said, "They don't know that Zui Xiang Lou is the property of the Su family. If you want to eat anything in the future, just tell Ruyi to come."

Gu Jin paused slightly, she raised her eyes to look at Xie Ran, her eyes were filled with joy and emotion, her eyes were watery and the charm that she revealed inadvertently was the most charming.

Even Xie Ran felt dazzled by the delicate flowers for a moment.

"Seriously? I can have any snack I want?" Her eyes were always sparkling, and she looked at people intently and deeply.

Xie Ran calmed down and finally understood why people always say that heroes are often tempted by beautiful women.

Such beauty can indeed make people relax.

But, he won't.

Seeing Xie Ran nod, Gu Jin smiled, as beautiful as a newly blooming peony, "I heard that many people can't buy Zui Xiang Lou's dim sum even if they queue up, so can I increase the price and sell it to them?"

You can make a small profit without any capital investment, this purchasing business is really great!

Xie Ran: “…”

It seems he is not the only one who is not moved by beauty.

There was no affection in her eyes, only business opportunities. Being affectionate to her was like playing the lute to a cow...
