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

The carriage with blue curtains and a canopy was moving on the official road. The agile posture of the tall and strong horse attracted people's attention and envy. When people saw the Danglu on the horse's head, their eyes immediately turned into awe.

"what you want to say?"

He held the teacup with his slender, white fingers and placed it on the small table in front of him. His voice was gentle and his tone was unhurried, making it impossible to tell his emotions.

Zhao Xuan looked at her uncle's profile. He sat there like a piece of warm mutton-fat jade, emitting a gentle and restrained aura, just like the banished immortal described by the poets in the books.

If she had not seen in her childhood that the mighty general under her maternal grandfather was defeated by her uncle, she would have thought that her uncle was a harmless scholar like everyone else.

The four simple words coming out of her mouth seemed to be saying, if you look again, let her get out.

"Uncle, if you pinch it again, the jade pendant in your hand will break..." Zhao Xuan retracted his gaze to Jiang Nansheng's left hand and said cautiously.

This jade pendant appeared the day before yesterday on my uncle’s birthday. It’s not hard to see how much the owner loves it.

Jiang Nansheng lowered his eyes and lightly touched the pattern on the jade pendant with his thumb.

The strength in his hands was reduced a little, leaving two marks on the palm.

"Uncle, did you hear what the younger sister of the Gu family said just now?"

Gu Jinchu's standards for her future husband can be said to be mediocre. She could grab a handful of them if she jumped off the carriage right now.

Zhao Xuan thought about it carefully, and it seemed that every one of them perfectly avoided her uncle.

Jiang Nansheng, the youngest son of Duke Dingguo, the top scholar of the fifth rank in the Hanlin Academy, and the fifth son of the Jiang family.

Although it was already spring, the princess felt that the temperature around her was gradually getting lower.

Zhou Boyan, who had been silent, had no idea what had just happened.

"Since ancient times, only women have been difficult to raise. No matter what age women are, they always like to say one thing and mean another. Perhaps it is another way to attract attention."

Seeing the silent uncle and nephew both looking at him, he looked confident.

"I have a wife, concubines, and an unreasonable little girl at home."

"One of you is a princess who is high above everyone else, and the other is a fake monk who has very few people of the opposite sex around him. Who has a say over me?"

Jiang Nansheng's slightly frowned brows completely relaxed and he glanced at Zhou Boyan.

Zhou Boyan spread out his fan and smiled ostentatiously and mysteriously.

Zhao Xuan: There were only three people in the carriage, and two of them were playing charades with her, so she didn't know.

You kept it all from her, right?

......

After leaving the Song family, Zheng was not in a hurry to return to Xianghe.

She brought Gu Jinchu to the Treasure Pavilion. Shopkeeper Song saw Zheng and bowed, "Boss, the person you are looking for is already waiting."

Zheng was the owner of the Treasure Pavilion and was being surrounded by people as she walked towards the backyard.

Shopkeeper Song followed Gu Jinchu and said to her:

"Miss, the things you ordered were made two days ago. I had the clerk deliver them the other day. Don't worry, there was no delay and they have received them."

Gu Jinchu remembered that the last time she came, Shopkeeper Song mentioned something, but it had been so long that she hadn't figured it out for a while.

In her previous life, she was very extravagant and gave away quite a lot of things.

Thinking of the princess's new outfit today, she thought it must be her return gift to the princess, so she nodded and didn't take it to heart.

As soon as Zheng could pick up a pen and read, she began to help her mother look at the account books. When she was a little older, she was in charge of her own business.

She only has one child, Gu Jinchu, and the Zheng family only has one girl, Chu Jie'er.

Although she could not give her daughter a more noble status, she wished to present the best in the world to her, and Chu Jie'er's grandmother was even worse.

She raised her daughter to have no concept of money, and she doesn't care about her own property at all.

This time, Zheng brought her daughter to the Treasure Pavilion, one reason being that her coming-of-age jewelry needed to be remade, and the other was that she wanted to introduce her to a few shop owners.

Gu Jinchu was very happy when she knew this, as she was also worried about not having her own connections.

The mother introduced several shopkeepers from Daxing and Xianghe, one of whom looked familiar to Gu Jinchu.

Tao Xuelin is not tall, has a strong scholarly air, and wears a dark green robe with dark patterns. When he doesn't speak, he looks like a teacher. He looks inconspicuous among the several shop owners.

When talking about his mother, she simply said, "His hometown is Baodi, and his father used to work on a ship with your grandfather."

After hearing the name Baodi and thinking carefully about his appearance, Gu Jinchu was certain.

After her mother passed away, the dowry she left in the Gu family was divided up by Aunt Lian and the first wife.

When she took it back, she realized that only Tao Xuelin was there.

Tao Xuelin is a conservative person and he is not the kind of person who would try to please his boss.

When his mother was alive, she didn't take him seriously. She thought that at least he wouldn't do anything big wrong, so she kept him.

It was this kind of person who, through his dealings with Aunt Lian and the first wife, preserved the few assets left for my mother.

He worked hard with his entire family, and when he came to her to hand in the accounts, the books were clear and accurate.

Hearing that Chu Jie'er favored Tao Xuelin, Zheng frowned, "Chu Jie'er, why don't you consider it? I think Kong Liang is a talented person. He is smart and has his own ideas."

Among these four shopkeepers, the other three were carefully selected by her. If Tao Xuelin had not brought back things from Baodi, he would not have appeared in the Treasure Pavilion today.

Gu Jinchu knew that his mother was talking business, and first considered the value of this person. He smiled and said, "If you don't know how, I can teach you. Mother, I think Tao Xuelin is more attractive to me."

Tao Xuelin had no business acumen, but his son made up for his deficiencies in this area. He was a bold and visionary man, and he also had his father's loyalty and kindness.

Zheng felt that her daughter was still young, and if she wanted to, she had her mother and the Zheng family behind her.

She has the time, energy and financial resources to experience the cost of trial and error.

Tao Xuelin knew that they had a purpose in meeting the boss and the eldest daughter.

Several of them are Zheng's dowry managers, and it is possible that they will become the eldest daughter's dowry managers in the future.

Gu Jinchu is the legitimate daughter of a sixth-rank official. Her future status will only be high, not low. Now that she has caught her eye, she will definitely be valued in the future.

Those three people were all well-known figures in front of the boss. Tao Xuelin didn't have any hope for himself. He didn't expect that he was the only person the eldest lady met alone.

The night has grown dark.

Gu Jinchu and his mother returned to the Gu family in a carriage. Tong's mother and Zhang Shun were waiting there in front of the hanging flower gate.

Gu Jinchu understood that his father must have known everything that happened in the Song family's backyard.

I just don't know how the Second Madam and Gu Yan will make amends for me.

Zhang Shun saw Zheng get off the carriage and come down the stone steps to pay his respects.

"Second Madam, the Second Master is waiting for you at Moxiangju."
