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

Gu Jin thought Xie Ran was always easy to talk to, and he would gladly agree if she offered 30%. But who knew he would ask for 50% this time.

Gu Jin opened his mouth and wanted to argue for it, but Xie Ran smiled warmly, "There's no need to discuss this matter anymore. Even one percent less won't do."

Gu Jin felt a pain in his heart, he covered his heart and looked at Xie Ran with tears in his eyes, "I can't imagine such cold words coming out of your mouth."

"My maternal grandfather was originally a merchant family. Don't you know that merchants value profit?"

The negotiations failed, and Gu Jin went to bed angrily. When Xie Ran went to bed, he deliberately rolled away his quilt to express his indignation.

Xie Ran felt helpless, but in fact he was also a little confused about his own actions.

He was not short of Gu Jin's little money. Logically, he could have given it to Gu Jin generously, but for some reason he just wanted to anger her at that time.

Especially when he saw her angry, he would feel inexplicably comfortable.

I didn't expect that I would be so childish. I must have been infected by Gu Jin. This must be the case.

……

The next day, Gu Jin slept until noon before getting up.

Mrs. Huo didn't like to set rules for the younger generation, and Mrs. Su couldn't even get up herself, so the new bride Gu Jin lived an especially comfortable life.

Duobao couldn't bear to see Gu Jinshun so she advised, "Young Madam, now that you have married into the Marquis's Mansion, you can't live like you did in your boudoir.

You see, the Second Miss gets up early every day to pay her respects to the Old Madam, and everyone in the mansion praises the Second Miss for being dignified and polite, and a true lady from a noble family!"

"and then?"

"Ah? What and then..." Duobao was stunned, not knowing what Gu Jin meant.

Gu Jin ate the shrimp that Ruyi had peeled for her, looked up at her and asked, "Did grandma give her any reward?"

"Uh... not really, but everyone in the mansion praises the Second Miss."

“Can other people’s praise be spent as money?”

Duobao: "..."

“Even if I sleep until I wake up naturally every day, my mother still likes me. She not only gave me a jade ruyi but also gave me so many beautiful jewelry.

We entered the palace together, and His Majesty also gave me gold alone. Do you know why?"

Duobao shook his head, completely confused by what Gu Jin said.

"Of course it's because the hardworking persona is no longer popular nowadays. An indifferent person like me with no ambition is the way to go."

Duobao: “…” No one would believe that!

When Xie Ran came back from court, he heard Gu Jin preaching his own twisted ideas to others again. He couldn't help but curl his lips, "It seems that Madam slept until noon again today?"

"Hmph!" Gu Jin still remembered the grudge from yesterday. He rolled his eyes coldly and was about to leave.

Xie Ran curved his lips and said slowly, "If I had known that Madam was busy, I would not have sent the visiting card."

Gu Jin's ears pricked up instantly, and she remembered that Xie Ran had said before that he would take her to see some master for treatment.

Everyone Xie Ran knows is either rich or noble, so this deal cannot be missed.

"It's okay, it's okay. I just saw that you were back and wanted to pour you a cup of tea." Gu Jin's expression changed so smoothly, and she smiled and said, "Husband, when are we leaving?"

Xie Ran had long been accustomed to it and was not bothered by it. He just called out, "Mo Yin."

"Master, this is what you asked me to prepare."

Mo Yin presented a set of men's clothing, and Xie Ran glanced at Gu Jin and said, "Go change."

Not long after, a young man with delicate features and a calm temperament walked out from the inner room.

Gu Jin was very satisfied with his outfit. Men's clothes were much more convenient than women's long skirts.

She reached out and lifted Ruyi's chin, and said in a light tone, "Whose family is this young lady from? She is so pretty. Do you want to have a drink with me?"

Although Ruyi knew that the other person was Gu Jin, she felt that Gu Jin looked so handsome in men's clothing. His suave look still made her blush with embarrassment.

Gu Jin smiled and said to Xie Ran: "Look, am I quite talented?"

Xie Ran was speechless. Is this damn talent necessary?

This scoundrel's frivolous look does resemble that of a certain young prince.

"Let's go."

Gu Jin was about to follow when Duobao volunteered, "Young Master and Young Madam, how can they go out without anyone to serve them? I will accompany Young Madam."

Without waiting for Xie Ran to refuse, Gu Jin said, "How can that be possible? We are two men and you are a girl. People who don't know would think we have some special hobbies!"

Xie Ran: “…” Don’t add “thank you” to it!

"I can also dress up as a man!" Duobao was still unwilling to give up the opportunity to be with Xie Ran.

"That's even worse. Bringing you along will lower our appearance level."

Duobao: “…” You don’t have to love me, but please don’t hurt me!

Watching Xie Ran and the other person leave, Ruyi said with satisfaction, "Young Master and Young Mistress are a perfect match. Even if they are wearing men's clothes, they look like a couple."

Duobao rolled his eyes at her in annoyance, "Do you know what Long Yang Zhi means? You are just talking nonsense, why don't you go to work!"

Ruyi went obediently, but Duobao fell into deep thought and couldn't figure it out.

Does everyone really like Gu Jin, who is lazy, cunning and slippery nowadays?

……

On the carriage.

"Now can you tell me the identity of your master?" Gu Jin knew that Xie Ran didn't want others to know that she came to diagnose his master, so she deliberately said those inappropriate words to anger Duobao.

Xie Ran didn't intend to hide it from her, "My teacher is the great scholar Lin Danqing."

"I see." Gu Jin opened his eyes wide, "I've never heard of it."

Xie Ran's shoulders sank, and he secretly reminded himself not to let Gu Jin lead him astray.

"He is also the former Imperial College Priest, and his students are all over the world..."

Lin Danqing, like the deceased old man of the Xu family, was a great scholar with great learning. Old man Xu was in charge of the cabinet, while Lin Danqing educated children in the Imperial Academy.

The previous emperor advocated the imperial examination system, and the literary world of the State of Chen was thriving at that time. Unfortunately, it has almost all disappeared now.

Gu Jinan listened quietly, pondered for a while and asked, "Since your teacher is so powerful, why doesn't he continue to be the chief priest of the Imperial College?"

Xie Ran showed an unnatural look on his face, but Gu Jin did not give him a chance to avoid it and kept asking him to the end.

Xie Ran felt a little embarrassed to say, "One winter day, the teacher suddenly wanted to eat roasted sweet potatoes, and accidentally set the library on fire, nearly reducing the entire Imperial College to ashes."

Gu Jin: “…” How much do you love me?

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the Lin Mansion. As soon as the two jumped off the carriage, they saw a panicked little servant running out of the Lin Mansion.

Xie Ran quickly pulled him back and asked, "Did something happen in the mansion?"

Gu Jin crossed his legs and looked inside. Could it be that they were grilling something and setting the house on fire again?

“General Xie!” The little servant boy burst into tears when he saw Xie Ran. He pulled Xie Ran and said, “General Xie, please go see my master. He…he is dying!”
