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

When Gu Jinchu got married, her grandmother gave her two recipes as part of her dowry.

One can open a tea shop, selling hot and cold tea and fruit drinks.

One could open a bakery, with her favorite Xixiangzhai dim sum, as well as the bread, egg tarts and cakes she had eaten at Zheng's house before...

Most of the goods sold in these two shops were things she had only eaten at Zheng's house and were not sold outside.

My grandmother said that if you carry treasures, you will always encounter hungry wolves. Now that the Zheng family has become stronger, she has taken out some things and shown them to people.

Gu Jinchu sometimes wondered if her grandmother had experienced the same incredible things as she had.

Otherwise, how could she know so many things that others don’t know and understand so much knowledge that others have not been exposed to.

Old Madam Jiang was holding a copper-carved melon-edged hand warmer in her arms, leaning against the carriage behind her, smiling with a total lack of her previous domineering look.

He said, "That's great. Old Madam Zhou has told me more than once that Marquis Zhou always brings her some new stuff when he goes out. Now I have something to show off to them."

The Marquis Zhou that the old lady mentioned is the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Zhou Boyan. Since the Jiang family and the Zhou family are both in Gu'an, and Jiang Nansheng and Zhou Boyan are of similar age, the two families are relatively close.

Zhou Boyan, who comes from a prominent family, is an uninhibited and free-spirited person. On the other hand, Jiang Nansheng is more reserved and calm.

As Old Madam Jiang watched the changes in her youngest son after his marriage, she became more and more satisfied with her daughter-in-law, Gu Jinchu.

Thinking back to the fortune the master interpreted for me at the Huguo Temple, he was smiling all the way.

The three of them tacitly did not mention the Second Prince they had just met.

When we returned to the Duke Ding's Mansion in Gu'an, it was not yet time for dinner.

After Gu Jinchu and Jiang Nansheng washed up, dinner in the second room had been prepared, with a combination of meat and vegetables, most of which were light.

Gu Jinchu remembered that Jiang Nansheng had held a string of beads in the Huguo Temple, but now he didn't see him wearing it on his wrist, so he asked casually.

Jiang Nansheng was picking up some food for her. When he heard this, he looked up and said, "It was an old monk who was very old. He said that we had a destiny, so he gave it to me before we parted."

As the sun sets, the blood-red setting sun shines through the window, casting beams of light onto Jiang Nansheng's chiseled profile, making his nose look taller and his facial features more profound.

Gu Jinchu knew very well that Jiang Nansheng had outstanding looks, but at this moment he sensed a kind of restrained sharpness.

This feeling only gradually emerged several years after his marriage in his previous life. Could it be that it was because he entered the Dali Temple early and his life trajectory changed?

Thinking of the scene when she met the Second Prince today, Gu Jinchu couldn't help but frown slightly. Was it a coincidence, or was she overthinking it?

"After dinner, show the beads to Bai Zhi."

She picked up the boiled shrimp on the plate, peeled off the outer layer of the shrimp shell, and put the shrimp meat into the plate in front of Jiang Nansheng.

They all like to eat seafood, which was discovered by Gu Jinchu in his previous life.

Jiang Nansheng met her gaze, raised a faint smile, and responded softly: "Okay."

Gu Jinchu keenly caught the lightness and joy in his tone, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

She couldn't help but feel that she was worrying too much.

After all, the Fifth Master of the Jiang Family has so many guards and advisers around him, so how could he let himself fall into danger easily?

After dinner, Jiang Nansheng said that the beads were in the Zhuli Pavilion in the outer courtyard. Gu Jinchu didn't think much about it when he saw him walk out the door, and went to the study room on the west side.

Tomorrow the managers of her dowry will come over to report, and she will sort out the things she has entrusted to them.

The name of the new shop has not been decided yet. Gu Jinchu spread out paper on the desk. Bai Shao came over and said while grinding ink, "Madam, Manager Xu had the oven and molds delivered this morning."

She nodded after hearing this and picked up the pen to put her thoughts on paper.

I wrote down a few names and looked at them, unable to make up my mind. I sat back in my chair, feeling tired and irritated.

Doubao, who was standing by, saw her stop writing and jumped from the table into her arms. Just as he was about to pose and find the most comfortable position, he suddenly arched his body and his two ears stood up.

He jumped off Gu Jinchu, climbed quietly to the bed on the side, and stared in the direction of the door.

At this time, a greeting sounded from outside the door, and then the door curtain was opened, and Jiang Nansheng walked in. He saw Gu Jinchu behind the desk looking up at him with a faint smile.

Gu Jinchu blinked. How could Jiang Nansheng be so terrifying?

Just hearing his footsteps, Doubao was scared like this!

Jiang Nansheng untied his cloak and put it on the coat rack carved with a cloud pattern.

"What are you doing?" When I got closer, I saw several pieces of paper spread out on the desk, each with different words written on it.

Only then did Gu Jinchu see the scroll in his hand, which he gently placed on the desk.

She withdrew her gaze from that place and thought about what she had just done.

"Among the shops I brought as a dowry, I'm thinking of opening a tea shop and a dim sum shop. I'm thinking about what names would be better for them." Gu Jinchu said in a low voice.

After hearing this, Jiang Nansheng looked through the papers on the table, lowered her eyes for a moment, then stood beside the table and picked up the brush she had just used.

After the Fifth Master came in, Bai Shao bowed and left.

Upon seeing this, Gu Jinchu stood up, rolled up his sleeves to reveal his fair wrists, and started grinding ink for him.

Jiang Nansheng's fingers are white, slender and well-defined, and the way he holds the brush is very beautiful.

Just a few strokes, but the expression is vigorous, powerful and rich.

Gu Jinchu had copied his calligraphy in both of his lives, but he could never write with such style.

Jiang Nansheng put down the brush and said, "I think these two you named are good."

"Tea Hundred Ways combines traditional tea culture with various special drinks you like, presenting delicious food worth looking forward to in life."

"Today's Pastry Dinner means today's best choice, soft and sweet, the name is self-explanatory."

Gu Jinchu listened to him attentively. Her thoughts and original intentions were revealed by him in one sentence. She was stunned for a moment by the way he spoke.

Jiang Nansheng's eyes flashed with a smile, and he pulled her over to sit sideways on his lap, "Does it look good?"

Gu Jinchu placed her hands on his chest, her cheeks flushed, and met his gaze, whispering, "Fifth Master's handwriting is beautiful..."

Jiang Nansheng chuckled, held her in his arms, rested his chin on her head, and spoke in a low and soft voice:

"Tell me the size of the plaque and I'll have it made for you, okay?"

It would be the best thing if the shop could get the calligraphy of Mr. Jiang Wuye.

Gu Jinchu listened to his words, but his eyes were fixed on the scroll, and he felt as if he was being scratched by a cat in his heart.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Jiang Nansheng followed her gaze and looked at the scroll that was so close to him, just like her.
