The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

Among Jiang Nansheng's private properties, Gu Jinchu remembered that Qianweilou had the largest income.

In order to make Concubine Shu feel at ease in the palace today, she told her grandmother that she was going to move the whole family to Gu'an.

Not only the Zhou family will be affected, but the business of Qianweilou will also be affected.

In the previous life, after marriage, Jiang Nansheng asked her to manage his private property.

But at that time he made an excuse which now seems very lame, saying that he was too busy with official duties to take care of it.

Not as confident and calm as it is now.

Gu Jinchu took the account book from him and said to him with a smile, "For things like jade and jewelry, I will have someone open another room in the back room."

Jiang Nansheng seemed to be enjoying this peaceful and leisurely time, leaning relaxedly on the large pillow behind him.

Not only was he half lying on it, but he also had his arms around Gu Jinchu's waist, easily bringing her into his arms.

He held her little hand in his palm, pinched her fingers one by one, and said in a low voice: "Okay, when we return home, I will ask the village head and the stewards to come and kowtow to you."

Gu Jinchu was held in his arms. His body froze for a moment and he couldn't help but look towards the door.

The two maids retreated after he entered the room. They could hear faint voices coming from the main room outside, but they still found the most comfortable position in his arms with a blushing face.

Agree to his proposal, but she will decide the time. After all, she has already arranged many things in advance. She whispered:

"Not the day after I return home. The shopkeepers and managers of my dowry need to come and see me." She looked up at him and continued with a faint smile, "We also need them to get used to my new identity."

Jiang Nansheng kissed her white fingertips and said, "Okay, it won't be too late to see them after our Fifth Madam is done with her work."

The maid's voice came from outside the door, indicating that dinner was ready.

Gu Jinchu wanted to sit up, but found that he was holding her tighter in his arms.

She looked back at him with some confusion and found that Jiang Nansheng's earlobe was so red that it seemed like blood was dripping.

Both ears.

Jiang Nansheng coughed lightly before saying, "...When I came back, I saw Mother Xu and her team cleaning up the west room."

Gu Jinchu nodded, "I want to use it as a study, and meet the shopkeepers there in the future."

"There's also a place to store the books I brought with me, as well as my embroidery frame, my musical instrument stand, and the whips my uncles gave me. This will require a very large room."

In her previous life, Jiang Nansheng had suggested setting up a study room for her, but she was too embarrassed to do so at that time, fearing that if others knew what would happen, something would spread.

Jiang Nansheng thought about it, as if it was difficult to say what he wanted to say, and then he heard Gu Jinchu ask him:

"Would you like to move some of the books you often use over here? Then have someone build a few more treasure cabinets and use a screen to separate the two independent spaces. But I want the position close to the window... um..."

Gu Jinchu also wanted to ask if it would be possible to bring back those unimportant files from the Dali Temple in previous years for her to read. They would definitely be more interesting than the miscellaneous notes and unofficial histories.

Before he could finish, he felt the light above his head dim, and the words he was about to say were taken into his mouth.

Jiang Nansheng didn't give her any chance to dodge or react. He invaded her lips, letting her breathe in his gentle yet strong masculine scent.

Gu Jinchu grunted and raised his hands to push the man who suddenly lost control, but in return he attacked her more fiercely and both of her hands were grasped in his palms.

For a moment, soft moans and gasps continued to flow out from their lips...

When Jiang Nansheng stood up, Gu Jinchu's cheeks flushed, his eyes sparkled, and his voice was like a soft chant, "Why did you..."

He held her in his arms and sat up, closing his eyes to suppress the heat that kept flowing in his tailbone.

After straightening her wrinkled clothes, she said in a low and hoarse voice, "That's exactly what I was thinking. I was so happy that I got carried away for a moment."

His study was in the Zhuli Pavilion in the front yard. He had given up on getting married before, but now he wanted to be closer to her.

What she said meant that he was involved in every step of her plan, so how could he not be excited?

Gu Jinchu looked at the surging lust in his eyes and blushed as she said, "We haven't had dinner yet, and the servants are still outside!"

Jiang Nansheng took the opportunity to bring up another idea and whispered in her ear:

"Yuanyuan Hall is very close to Zhuli Pavilion. I plan to have a craftsman build a corridor between the two courtyards. This way, when the weather is bad, we don't have to worry about inconvenience in traveling back and forth."

As he spoke, hot air continued to spray on his earlobes. Gu Jinchu couldn't help but raise his hand to pinch it, and nodded gently.

In her previous life, this corridor appeared when she was diagnosed with pregnancy. It seemed to appear overnight, connecting Yuanyuan Hall and Zhuli Pavilion.

I guess Jiang Nansheng must have prepared for a long time at that time, as it was not a project that could be completed in a hurry.

After the matter was settled, Jiang Nansheng called Jiang Fei and asked him to find someone to make the arrangements.

Only then did he pull Gu Jinchu to sit down and have dinner peacefully, so that the servants in the room could clearly feel the Fifth Master's good mood.

Because they had to go back home the next day, the two of them went to bed early after dinner.

When Gu Jinchu thought something was going to happen, Jiang Nansheng hugged her and talked about the first case he investigated in the Dali Temple.

Unexpectedly, she was not afraid at all. Instead, she became more excited as she listened and kept asking her own questions.

Finally, Jiang Nansheng realized that it was too late. He hugged her and said with a smile that if she didn't sleep now, she would never be able to sleep. Only then did Gu Jinchu close her eyes and pretend to sleep. Before she knew it, she really fell asleep.

Early in the morning, Gu Jinchu and Jiang Nansheng took people to Minghui Hall to have breakfast with the Duke and his wife.

The several dishes on the table were all made by Jin from Yuanyuantang’s small kitchen.

It was Mother Cheng who told her about the old man and the old lady's preferences.

Before the meal was over, Bai Zhi walked in from outside and bowed to the two masters of Minghui Hall: "My Lord, Hello, Madam."

When he looked at Gu Jinchu, his face was full of joy, "Madam, the young master and the cousin are here to take you home!"

The fact that her family comes to pick her up shows that the bride is valued in her own family and that her husband's family dare not look down on her.

Gu Wen came here with his eldest cousin Zheng Kaiji. It was his first time visiting the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, so he was naturally nervous.

After the greetings, I tried to hold on, telling myself not to embarrass my elder sister, but I just couldn't handle it as well as my older cousin.

The return gift was arranged personally by Old Madam Jiang, and filled two horse-drawn carriages.

The four masters sat in the green-curtained carriage, with tall horses wearing danglu on their heads. It was spacious and imposing. With the sound of horse hooves, it drove steadily towards Xianghe.

After getting in the car, Gu Wen not only did not relax, but felt even more uneasy.

My brother-in-law is a top scholar, and I want to perform but I’m afraid my performance isn’t good enough, and I also want to get some advice from him.

Gu Jinchu noticed his nervousness, looked at Zheng Kaiji and asked, "Cousin, have all the family members arrived at the Peony Garden?"

Zheng Kaiji filled the teacups in front of several people and replied, "Only your third brother has not arrived yet. He went to the palace to give lectures to the princes today. He will probably be back to the Peony Garden in time for lunch."

In Wenyuan Pavilion, eunuch Tang Liu watched the last prince leave. Seeing that Lord Zheng had not yet left, he bent his body slightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Lord Zheng. Take care."

After he left, he slowly closed the door of Wenyuan Pavilion.

Before Zheng Kaicheng reached the Wenhua Palace, a young eunuch ran over and pleaded in a low voice:

"Sir Zheng, the Sixth Prince was injured and therefore did not attend your lecture. He has some questions for you right now. Do you have time?"
