After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official
Chapter 37 Shop Visit
There was no conversation that night. Gu Jin slept well and had a sweet dream.
She dreamed that she lived in a house made of gold. Every day, people carried several large boxes of gold ingots to her room, and silver flowed into her yard like water. Until she woke up, Gu Jin was still thinking about the dream.
When Duobao came in with a basin of water to help Gu Jin wash up, he saw that her cheeks were rosy and her eyes were affectionate, with a look of unsatisfied satisfaction on her face. He couldn't help but automatically imagine it as a manifestation of a harmonious married life, and a hint of jealousy suddenly welled up in his heart.
"Where is Xie Ran? Why can't I see him?" Gu Jin asked casually while holding a cup of water.
"The Third Young Master got up early in the morning to attend court, and the Young Madam was still sleeping at that time." Duobao rolled his eyes secretly.
As a wife, she doesn't even get up early to help her husband get dressed and wash. Is such a woman worthy of being the young lady of the Marquis's Mansion? Can she serve the Third Young Master well?
Gu Jin didn't understand Duobao's hidden meaning. He just felt that Xie Ran was quite polite and knew how to be careful when getting up early. He was a qualified roommate.
After breakfast, Gu Jin said to Ruyi and Duobao, "You two should pack up and follow me out of the house."
Duobao asked, "Where is the young lady going?"
Gu Jin looked at herself in the mirror and put on the ruby headpiece that Su had given her. The glittering jewelry did not overshadow her appearance but made her look even more radiant and gorgeous.
"My second aunt has returned the shop to me, so I'm going to go take a look."
Duobao rolled her eyes and said with a flattering smile, "Young Madam, I actually think you don't have to work so hard, just let the Second Madam take care of it.
You can rest at home and have money come into your home, which can also save you a lot of trouble."
Gu Jin glanced at her and said, "I think it's quite troublesome to spend money. Do you want me to give your monthly salary to Ruyi and let her spend it for you?"
Duobao's smile froze on her face, and Gu Jin ignored her and walked away.
Duobao's eyes were full of resentment. Did this idiot and fool think she was so great after marrying into the Marquis's Mansion?
Just wait and see, she'll cry someday!
The location of the restaurant is OK, but the front is a bit small.
When Gu Jin walked into the restaurant, there were only two tables of guests inside. The waiter was yawning out of boredom, and the shopkeeper was fiddling with the abacus beads in an absent-minded manner.
Seeing Gu Jin and the others come in, the waiter slowly came over, rubbing his sleepy eyes and said, "What would you like to eat..."
When the waiter saw Gu Jin's appearance, his eyes widened instantly and stared at Gu Jin.
He had never seen such a beautiful woman, and he couldn't help but be obsessed with her beauty.
"How dare you stare at my young lady!" Ruyi is not tall, but when she saw the waiter offended Gu Jin, she immediately stepped forward to defend him.
Looking at the little bean sprout standing in front of him, Gu Jin found it a little funny.
She glanced at the waiter coldly and said calmly, "Tell your shopkeeper to come see me."
"Who wants to see me?" The restaurant's owner, Qian, was a man in his forties, with a face full of flesh, a fat waist and a round belly, and an arrogant look on his face.
Ruyi raised her little chin and said loudly: "My young mistress is the owner of this restaurant!"
Shopkeeper Qian was stunned for a moment, then he guessed Gu Jin's identity, but his attitude did not change much, he just said with a fake smile: "So you are the new boss, I didn't know you were coming today, otherwise I would have gone out to greet you early.
Next time if you have anything to ask, just call me to your house, no need to make this special trip."
Gu Jin looked around the restaurant and finally set his sights on Shopkeeper Qian. "I have always been your boss, so how can there be a new or old relationship?"
Shopkeeper Qian's expression froze for a moment, and then he heard Gu Jin continue, "Did Second Aunt help me manage the shop for a few years? So you recognize her as your master?"
"No, no, it was all a slip of the tongue on my part. Please don't be offended, Madam." Seeing that Gu Jin came with bad intentions and did not look as easy to fool as Li said, Shopkeeper Qian bowed and invited Gu Jin in.
"I see there aren't many customers in the restaurant. Is it like this every day?"
Shopkeeper Qian sighed and said with a worried look on his face, "In reply to Young Madam, although our restaurant is not big, our business in the past was still pretty good.
Unfortunately, our restaurant chef Wang is ill, and the apprentice can cook some ordinary dishes, but not more complicated ones, so business seems to be a bit depressed. "
"Are you sick? What's wrong?" Gu Jin asked curiously. Doesn't this just happen to be related to her major?
“It’s an old problem.
Chef Wang has some old illnesses. He is fine on weekdays, but recently he has been in good health for some reason. The business of a restaurant depends entirely on the chef. To be honest with you, Madam, I have been worried about this and have been unable to sleep or eat well recently!"
Gu Jin raised his eyebrows, "Chef Wang has been ill these days?"
Shopkeeper Qian nodded, and although he looked worried, there was disdain in his eyes.
Gu Jin understood everything completely. It was clear that Chef Wang's illness was caused by her.
"Take me to the kitchen."
Shopkeeper Qian led Gu Jin towards the kitchen. As soon as they reached the kitchen door, they heard an argument coming from inside.
A young man said cautiously, "Brother Wu, noon is almost here, should we prepare the food?"
"What are you preparing for? There are so many customers when Chef Wang is not here. Just take a rest!" another man said lazily.
"Although Chef Wang is not here, you can also cook ordinary meals, Angkor Wu..."
"You little brat, you're just a dishwasher, how can you teach me how to do things? I have the final say when Chef Wang is not here. Even if I quit today, who can do anything to me?
To tell you the truth, the restaurant's business all depends on us cooks. If we stomp our feet, the boss will tremble.
Chef Wang has just had a few days off and the restaurant's business has obviously declined. If I leave now, the restaurant will have to close. I am giving face to the boss by staying here, and she should be grateful to me!"
There was silence in the room for a moment, and then the young boy's stubborn voice was heard again, "We should do our job well since we have received the monthly salary from the boss."
"Puh!" Wu Er spat out the melon seed shells in his mouth, grabbed the young boy by the collar, and said angrily, "Stop talking to me in such a flowery way. Do you really think you are a juren scholar after studying for a few days?
Believe it or not, I will let you pack up and leave right now. Without this job, I wonder how you and your blind mother will survive!"
"You should be the one to get out."
Gu Jin pushed the door open and walked in. The young boy looked in the direction where she came from and saw a hint of blush reflected in his eyes. She was standing in the backlight, her grace was dazzling. She had a taller and more slender figure than an ordinary woman, and a more fierce aura.
Gu Jin pinched Wu Er's arm. Wu Er, who was stunned, didn't have time to marvel at Gu Jin's beauty before he screamed, "It hurts, it hurts, my hand!"
"We are all ordinary people trying to make a living, but you still bully the weak and act aggressively. Who gave you the sense of superiority?" Gu Jin hated people who bullied others the most. She waved her hand coldly and threw Wu Er into the corner. "I can't tolerate people like you here. You don't have to come tomorrow!"
The young boy looked at the girl in front of him in astonishment. She was incredibly beautiful and incredibly strong.
"Oh my! You can't be the young lady. If Chef Wang is not here and Wu Er is driven away, our restaurant will not be able to continue operating!" Manager Qian came out and laughed. He just wanted Gu Jin to hear the dispute inside so that she would know that running a restaurant is not that simple.
So what if she doesn't like Wu Er? She has no one else to use now.
Today he must make this ignorant young lady cry!
Wu Erben was frightened by Gu Jin's aura, but he instantly became fearless after hearing what Manager Qian said.
So what if she is the boss? Now she can only rely on herself. Thinking of this, Wu Er suddenly became arrogant.
But before he could get his hands on Qiao, he heard Gu Jin coldly say, "If we can't open it, then we won't open it. From today on, the restaurant will be closed!"
