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

The reason why Aunt Xu did not come to see Gu Jin right away was to know herself and her enemy so as to win every battle. From Gu Jin's recent behavior and Gu Rou's description, it can be seen that Gu Jin is a greedy person who likes money.

"I'm sorry, Aunt Xu. I just took a short nap. I hope I didn't keep you waiting for too long."

"What are you talking about, Madam? It's your fault that I came here without telling you in advance." Aunt Xu agreed with a smile, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes when she saw Gu Jin.

Although she had long heard from her subordinates that the eldest daughter of the Gu family was very beautiful, it was only after seeing me that she realized that the descriptions made by others did not compare to her in any way.

Aunt Xu understood in her heart, no wonder Qing'er was a little impetuous recently, it turned out that beauty was misleading!

Gu Jin was also secretly sizing up Aunt Xu. Marquis Yongchang was not a lustful man, and he only had Su and Aunt Xu as his wife and concubine in the backyard.

Aunt Xu was wearing a lake blue corseted long dress, which set off her fair skin and gentle temperament. If Su was a rich and beautiful flower in the world, then Aunt Xu was a gentle and talkative little orchid.

"I've always heard my elder brother and second sister talking about Aunt Xu, but today is the first time I've seen her."

Aunt Xu smiled softly, "Actually, I should have come to see the Third Young Madam a long time ago, but unfortunately I caught a cold a few days ago and that delayed me."

Gu Jin sighed when he heard this: "Auntie caught a cold but still managed to make porridge for my brother and the others. This thoughtfulness is really touching."

Aunt Xu's smile froze. She had naturally heard about Gu Jin's talk about white porridge in Songhe Hall.

Although Xie Qing would not be fooled by her few words, many people in the mansion secretly compared her with Su, laughing at her for showing off in front of the Su family's huge wealth with a bowl of porridge made from the mansion's rice.

Su was a lazy housekeeper who was too lazy to argue. Although she was a concubine, she had lived smoothly in the Marquis' Mansion for so many years. And this Gu Jin dared to put down her right after he got married!

Aunt Xu hid the coldness in her eyes and smiled more brightly, "I don't have any other hobbies on weekdays. I just like to cook some small dishes. If Third Young Madam doesn't mind, I will make some snacks for you to try next time."

Don't hit a smiling person. This Aunt Xu is much more capable than Gu Rou.

Gu Jin also smiled and said, "Thank you, Auntie."

Aunt Xu took out a mahogany box, inside of which was a red jade and coral necklace. The coral beads were round and crystal clear, and it was obvious at first glance that they were not ordinary items.

"Coral is good for health, and I sent this necklace to a temple to be bathed in incense for half a year, so that the necklace has the temple's sandalwood scent, which can nourish the mind and help with sleep, and also bring good luck and happiness."

Gu Jin was playing with the ruby ​​coral necklace in his hand. It felt crystal clear and was indeed a good thing.

She put it under her nose and sniffed it again, and said in surprise: "It really has a fragrance!"

Aunt Xu smiled and said, "Young Madam, your skin is as white as snow. This necklace suits you perfectly."

After receiving the good things, Gu Jin became friendly with Aunt Xu, and the two of them had a very pleasant conversation.

Even when Aunt Xu asked to leave, Gu Jin was reluctant to let her go. "Aunt, you can come to my courtyard more often when you have nothing to do. Anyway, I usually have nothing to do."

"Okay. As long as the young lady doesn't mind, I will come and bother you."

Gu Jin hummed a little tune and returned to the inner room. Xie Ran glanced at the necklace on her neck and asked, "Is this a good thing?"

"Of course! This thing is very good. It can protect me from the pain of having children for the rest of my life."

Xie Ran's eyes were cold and gloomy. "Is there something wrong with this necklace?"

Gu Jin nodded and took off the ruby ​​coral necklace hanging around his neck. "Although this necklace has a strong sandalwood scent, I still smell the scent of musk."

If she didn't know medicine and had a keen nose, others might have been fooled.

This Aunt Xu looks gentle and harmless, but she comes on stage with some ruthless tricks.

If Xie Ran had no children, he would naturally not be able to compete with Xie Qing for the title of marquis.

Seeing Gu Jin's little hands still playing with the string of red jade coral beads, Xie Ran felt that it was inexplicably annoying, "Then why are you still holding it in your hands? Why don't you throw it away?"

"It's okay if you don't wear it for a long time. It's musk, not a love scent. How can you get excited after just one sniff?"

Xie Ran: “…” She really knows a lot.

"Besides, this is a good thing. If it were available in modern times, who knows how many young ladies would want it!" After all, not all women are willing to give birth to children for these men.

Xie Ran didn't understand what she said again, so he just asked, "Then how do you plan to deal with it?"

Gu Jin turned her head, the corners of her lips slightly raised, her upturned peach blossom eyes sparkling, revealing her charming charm unconsciously. Only Xie Ran knew that every time she showed this expression, she was thinking about how to harm others.

Xie Ran stared at her and found her very pleasing to the eye.

"Such a good thing cannot be wasted." Gu Jin smiled and put the ruby ​​coral necklace back into the box, patting it twice gently like a treasure.

Xie Ran knew she had made up her mind, so he stopped asking and chatted as if nothing had happened, "How is the restaurant going? Is it going well?"

Gu Jin nodded, "I managed to drive the shopkeeper and the chef away smoothly."

Xie Ran: “…”

"It's good that the shopkeeper has changed. After all, he was originally from the Li family. But the restaurant won't easily change the chef. Do you have a suitable candidate?"

Gu Jin raised his lips and smiled, pointing a finger at himself.

"You?" Xie Ran was a little surprised. After all, Gu Jin didn't seem like the type of person who would cook for himself.

Besides, does she have to go to the restaurant to cook every day in the future?

Without waiting for Xie Ran to ask, Gu Jin said, "That's not important. By the way, have you found the patient I asked you to find for me?

I can treat infertility, impotence, premature ejaculation, and other difficult and complicated diseases."

Xie Ran: “…” He knows quite a lot.

"These are hidden diseases, and no one will publicize them."

Gu Jin immediately showed a disappointed expression.

Xie Ran thought for a moment and said, "But my master has not been in good health in recent years. I wonder if you can get him to take care of himself."

Gu Jin thought about it for a moment, "Does he have money?"

Xie Ran laughed, "Don't worry, Madam. I will give it to you even if the teacher doesn't give it to me."

"Okay then, let's go now!" Gu Jin was a man of action, and after saying that, he pulled Xie Ran's wrist.

Looking at the soft hand on his wrist, Xie Ran smiled slightly, "When visiting someone's home, you have to hand in a visiting card in advance. Besides, I just came back from court. Madam, won't you ask me if I have had my meal?"

In his previous life, Gu Jin had always lived alone, and as long as he was well fed, his whole family would not be hungry, so he had never really thought about this problem.

"I was careless." Gu Jin's eyes turned and he said with a smile, "You have helped me so much. Today I will cook some of my specialties for you. How about that?"

Xie Ran curved her lips, smiling like the breeze and the bright moon, "Then it would be disrespectful for me to refuse."

Looking at Gu Jin's excited back, Xie Ran's eyes suddenly turned cold.

He called Mo Yin in and said indifferently, "The weather has been hot lately. I'm worried that Big Brother will have trouble sleeping at night. Go prepare some calming herbs."

Mo Yin's little head turned quickly, "Master, besides calming the nerves, does this herb have any other effects?"

For example, vomiting blood, coma, etc.!

"Of course not." Xie Ran raised the corners of his lips slightly, his gentle smile could not hide the coldness in his eyes, "Big brother is the eldest son and has the heavy responsibility of reproducing offspring, so his body is naturally precious."

Mo Yin: “…” I understand. The master wants to give the eldest son artificial contraception!

Mo Yin took the order and left. Xie Ran caught a glimpse of the account book on the table and picked it up.

Although he still doesn't know what Gu Jin's purpose is, she has indeed added interest to his boring life, so let her stay by his side for the time being.

As Xie Ran was thinking this, he suddenly heard a commotion outside, and then a maid ran in and shouted, "Master! It's bad! The mistress has burned down the small kitchen!"

Xie Ran: “…”

Or should we get rid of it as soon as possible?
