Transmigrated into Substitute Bride 'Fu Lang'

Gu Lang silently stared at the direction where Chen Xing left. When that Sulai gentle face showed no emotion, it still looked a little scary.

Qiu Jiu who was walking behind saw it, quietly swallowed his saliva, and called out cautiously, "Master."

Qiu Jiu's call successfully shifted Gu Lang's gaze from the direction Chen Xing left to Qiu Jiu.He looked at Qiu Jiu, and when he was about to be overwhelmed, he said softly, "What is Chen Xing trying to do?"

Qiu Jiu raised his eyes and looked at Gu Lang's expression carefully. He felt that although he wasn't angry, he probably wasn't in a good mood right now. After thinking about it in his heart, he said straightforwardly what he cared about the most, "Chen Xing said to make a dessert as an apology to Miss Zhao's family."

Gu Lang frowned, and his tone was a little displeased, "That Miss Zhao family from last time?"

Qiu Jiu nodded, confirming his guess.

Since the last time those two people came to Chen Xing's booth to make a fuss, Gu Lang asked Qiu Jiu to check their details, and naturally knew their identities, since they never came to Chen Xing's again. Trouble, he didn't pay too much attention to them.

At this time, when Qiu Jiu mentioned that Miss Zhao family again, Gu Lang's face turned cold for a moment, but soon he returned to his usual appearance, and continued to ask Qiu Jiu: "What did they talk about today? "

Qiu Jiu immediately explained everything in detail.

After hearing this, Gu Lang relaxed his brows slightly. Although he was still somewhat dissatisfied with Chen Xing's neglect of him just now, it was much better than before, and his tone was even a little interesting, "Then the Zhao family is a bit mean."

After saying this, Gu Lang looked at Qiu Jiu who was standing beside him, and said coldly, "Go and help him!"

"Yes." Seeing that she was let go, Qiu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked quickly towards the kitchen.When his son had a cold face, it was really scary.

Watching Qiu Jiu leave, Gu Lang, who was left behind, looked down at the plain clothes on his body, thinking silently whether he should change to a more conspicuous one next time, so that Chen Xing would not ignore his existence.

Chen Xing, who had no idea of ​​Gu Lang's careful thinking, was currently putting a pile of washed bones and pigskin into a large pot, and was enthusiastically thinking about how long it would take to make what he wanted.

Qiu Jiu came in and saw this scene, and asked with some doubts: "Shall we eat stew tonight?" Chen Xing paused for a moment with his hand that was burning the fire, took the time to look up at Qiu Jiu, and replied: "No, I It’s just a matter of boiling something out and making desserts out of that.”

When Chen Xing saw that young lady was so gluttonous today and she was not too old, the gift that Chen Xing thought of was jelly.Although it was a bit more troublesome to make in ancient times, it was still possible to make, so he bought the raw materials and prepared to make them when he came back.

Qiu Jiu seemed to understand Chen Xing's words, but it didn't prevent him from helping Chen Xing very diligently. Anyway, no matter what Chen Xing did, he would always have his share in the end.While thinking this way, Qiu Jiu worked harder.

To make jelly, you must first make gelatin, which is not very easy to boil, especially when the conditions were relatively difficult in ancient times.Therefore, it took Chen Xing several days to make the jelly from the raw materials to the final shape.

When Chen Xing finally finished it, Gu Lang and Qiu Jiu came to the kitchen to watch his work.

Looking at the rows of translucent food of different colors, Qiu Jiu felt that it was extremely miraculous, and couldn't wait to taste what it tasted like.On the other hand, Gu Lang seemed much calmer, but his eyes never left the position of that thing.

Chen Xing, who was busy arranging those jellies, didn't see the expressions of the two of them at this moment. He made three flavors of watermelon, grape, and peach this time, so he took two of each and put them on a plate. Inside, they were packed into two plates and handed to Gu Lang and Qiu Jiu respectively.

Gu Lang took the plate from Chen Xing and met Chen Xing's shining eyes.

"Try it quickly, do you like it or not?"

Gu Lang picked up a peach-flavored one and ate it. The moment he ate it, his eyes lit up, then looked at Chen Xing who was waiting for the answer, and nodded reservedly.

Seeing that he likes this stuff, Chen Xing felt that the hard work of the past few days was not in vain. Looking at the leftover jelly, he said happily to Gu Lang: "Look at what flavor you like, I'll save some for you. I'll take out the rest and give them away."

Seeing that Chen Xing put himself first in everything, Gu Lang watched his tone raised because he was busy giving things to others these few days, and gradually dissipated.He looked at Chen Xing with a faint smile, and said generously: "It's okay, everything you cook is delicious, and I can eat whatever flavor you want. Since it's a gift, it can't be given to others." Eat what's left of me."

Chen Xing thought for a while after hearing the words, and felt that what Gu Lang said made sense, "Then I'll just take five, and leave the rest to you."

Chen Xing made almost sixty this time, and took five of each flavor, and there were still a lot left.

After Gu Lang heard what Chen Xing said, the smile on his lips grew stronger, so that Chen Xing, who was staring at him, couldn't look away.

Qiu Jiu, who was quietly eating the jelly on his plate, watched the interaction between the two of them, shook his head and muttered a few words in his heart, thinking that Chen Xing was so pitiful, he was being led by the nose by his son all the time Do not know at all.

After confirming the quantity to be given away, Chen Xing went to find a food box and packed the needed jelly.

Gu Lang next to him was helping him, and asked seemingly unintentionally: "How are you going to give this thing to that person? Do you send it directly to the mansion?"

Chen Xing shook his head, and said uncertainly: "When she came last time, I reckoned that she would pick it up by herself when she was ready. I don't know if she will come here on time. If she doesn't come, I'm afraid I can't put this thing away how long."

Looking at Chen Xing's appearance, Gu Lang knew that he probably didn't know the identity of Miss Zhao's, otherwise he wouldn't be so casual.But since Chen Xing didn't know, he didn't need to remind him, Chen Xing only had to do what he felt happy about.

Therefore, Gu Lang echoed from the side: "According to your description, then Miss Zhao's must be very obsessed with food, she should come here as agreed."

Hearing Gu Lang's comfort, Chen Xing nodded, did not continue to say anything, and happily prepared other ingredients.

After watching Chen Xing leave, Gu Lang nodded in satisfaction as he saw that most of the jelly was left for him.

Chen Xing's business is doing very well every day, and he doesn't even need to do anything more, the customers will come over continuously when the time comes.

It's the same today. Less than half an hour after Chen Xing opened his shop, less than half of the items in his booth had been sold.

When Mr. Fu came, it was just in time for the last bowl of frozen brown sugar glutinous rice balls to be sold. He shouted for luck while ordering the last bowl.

Chen Xing took the money he gave, asked Qiu Jiu next to him to cook glutinous rice balls for him, and asked curiously to Mr. Fu who was out of breath, "Are you still leaving school so late now?"

In order to catch up with the last bowl of glutinous rice balls, Mr. Fu, who was running profusely, began to complain: "Yes, the county magistrate said that he would come to our school for inspection, but there is no news so far. The county magistrate came suddenly that day, and we humiliated him, so we didn’t dare to relax. What can we do? We can only do it! I don’t know what the county magistrate will take the exam at that time, I just hope it won’t be too difficult.”

Speaking of this, Mr. Fu sighed long, his round face was full of melancholy about this matter.

Chen Xing looked at his worried look, which was very similar to those tired students he saw in his previous life, and comforted him very understandingly: "Don't worry, the county magistrate will not make things difficult for you. After the county magistrate finishes the inspection, you can Easy."

Mr. Fu took the glutinous rice balls that Qiu Jiu handed over, and after taking a bite, his brows relaxed again.Hearing Chen Xing's words, his tone became a little more cheerful, and he agreed: "The other people in our school also said the same, and everyone is encouraging each other."

Hearing what he said, Chen Xing felt that their classmates were quite interesting. Just when Chen Xing was about to say something to him, a female voice suddenly came in from the side.

"Little boss."

Chen Xing looked around, and saw a girl who looked like a maid.He had never seen her before, and asked with some doubts: "You are?"

The maid gave him a faint smile, and her not-so-good face became a little more colorful because of this smile, "Little boss, my lady and you made an agreement, saying that you will come to pick up the little boss in a few days." The boss said about eating. The young lady couldn’t go out because of something today, so she ordered me to pick up the things, and if it’s convenient for the little boss, then give the things to me.”

This servant girl spoke impeccably, and after hearing her words, Chen Xing suddenly remembered that the style of clothes worn by this servant girl was similar to that of the servant girl who was behind that young lady that day. I'm down.

Thinking of this, Chen Xing smiled at her.He said softly: "Okay, I'll give you the things, and you can take them back to your lady."

After finishing speaking, Chen Xing took out the prepared food box and handed it to the little maid.

The little maid took the not-so-delicate food box, but she bowed to Gu Lang very politely, and then left with the food box.

Chen Xing felt that the maid who came here this time was much more polite than the maid who came out with her young lady last time.

Just when Chen Xing was about to receive the next guest, he turned his head and saw Mr. Fu standing next to him, staring at him with burning eyes.

Chen Xing was taken aback by him, and when he calmed down, he looked at him and asked in confusion, "Mr. Fu, what are you?"

When Mr. Fu was asked, his face immediately turned red. He looked at Chen Xing with an embarrassed face, and there was a little bit of hesitation in his eyes.

"I don't know if it's appropriate to say something now."

Chen Xing looked at him, and suddenly had a bad feeling, he always felt that he looked like someone who wanted to confess,

Qiu Jiu next to him also noticed the strangeness of Mr. Fu, and his eyes began to look unkind.

Who knows, Mr. Fu hesitated for a while, and finally said as if he had made up his mind: "Little boss, you see that we are so familiar."

Chen Xing's heart was raised, and he stared at Mr. Fu vigilantly, his mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about how to properly reject him.

"That is, can you give me a portion of the food you gave that maid just now?"

Chen Xing: ...

Chen Xing looked at Mr. Fu, who looked extremely embarrassed after saying this, and his heart gradually eased, and his expression gradually changed into helplessness. He didn't expect that his request was actually this.

After Mr. Fu finished his request, the expression on his face became more and more embarrassed.Seeing that Chen Xing didn't make a sound, he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I will definitely not let you work for nothing. I will pay as much as she paid for it."

Hearing Mr. Fu's straightforward words, Chen Xing couldn't laugh or cry. The jelly was specially made because he thanked Ms. Zhao. Otherwise, it would take so much effort to make it once, and he couldn't eat a few bites. , he will not do it.

Chen Xing just wanted to tell him that he made it because he wanted to thank others.But then he thought of the joy that flashed in Gu Lang's eyes when he ate that food, he must also like the taste of that food very much.

In an instant, Chen Xing thought that when he could make some for Gu Lang in a few days, he would make some for Mr. Fu by the way.Anyway, Mr. Fu can be regarded as his regular customer.

Thinking of this, Chen Xing's mood instantly became clear. He looked at Mr. Fu and said, "But, it just takes more time for this thing, and I don't know how to set the price now."

"It doesn't matter, no matter how much money it takes or how long it takes, I can afford to wait." Mr. Fu said boldly. He just saw it when Chen Xing opened it for the maid to see. The translucent thing looked at it. It's very rare, it's nothing to spend more time and money, he doesn't need it anyway.

Mr. Fu and Chen Xing quickly discussed when to pick up the jelly, and then he cheerfully took his second bowl of Liangpi to find a place to eat.

After Mr. Fu left, Qiu Jiu came over and asked in Chen Xing's ear, "Is it too time-consuming to make that thing? There's no need to do it specially for this guest, right?"

Chen Xing was cleaning up the dirty stove, and said without raising his head when he heard the words: "Of course it's not for him! Gu Lang likes to eat it. When I plan to make a new flavor of jelly for Gu Lang in a few days, I can make it for him casually." several."

Qiu Jiu looked at Chen Xing who took it for granted. At this moment, he didn't know whether to comfort him for his care for his young master, or to sympathize with his perfunctory treatment of Mr. Fu.

Zhao House.

A servant girl carried a food box that didn't match the magnificent interior, and slowly walked into the lady's boudoir. Looking at the lady who had finished dressing, she saluted first, and then said softly: "Miss, this servant will take you Get what you want."

Hearing her words, Zhao Jing stood up from her chair, hurriedly walked in front of her, and said eagerly, "Give me a taste."

Seeing the eager look of the young lady, the maid gently put the food box in her hand on the table, and slowly opened the lid.

Zhao Jing looked at the neatly arranged translucent things, her face was full of surprise, she pointed to it and asked in doubt, "What is this?"

The corner of the servant girl's lips raised slightly, and she introduced softly: "The little boss said that this thing is called jelly, and it is something that people of my age would like. This light red one is peach-flavored, and this purple one is grape-flavored." , this crimson is watermelon."

Listening to the maid's introduction, Zhao Jing felt that it was extraordinarily miraculous. After listening to her introduction, she couldn't wait to try it. After taking the first bite, her eyes lit up, and her whole body exuded a kind of joy. breath.

Then Zhao Jing ate nine of them in one breath, until the maid beside her mother came outside to invite her, and she could barely stand up.

"Miss, madam, please go over, the county magistrate's wife will be here soon."

Listening to the maid's voice, Zhao Jing was stunned as she looked at the remaining six jellies in the box. She felt that she had just tasted one, so why were they gone?

But Zhao Jing couldn't bear to think too much, the urging outside continued, she gritted her teeth, struggled for a while, and said directly: "Put this on another plate for me, and take it to my mother with me later."

"Yes."

The maid next to her got orders, and immediately went to find a gold-rimmed plate with a picture of a fish leaping over a dragon's gate, carefully put the remaining jelly in it, and followed Zhao Jing with the plate. A place for receiving guests.

Chen Xing promised Mr. Fu to make jelly, but he didn't start in a hurry. Instead, he estimated how long it would take for Gu Lang to finish eating the jelly, and then began to slowly plan when he would buy bones and pig skin to boil the jelly. .

After such a calculation, Chen Xing found that he could relax for another two days, so he relaxed even more.

When the stall was closed, Chen Xing looked at Qiu Jiu who was following him, and asked cheerfully, "Qiu Jiu, do you have any other favorite fruits? I'm going to make another batch of jelly in a few days."

Qiu Jiu listened to Chen Xing's expression at the side, looked at the excited expression on his face, fell silent for a while, thought for a long time, and finally shook his head, a little confused: "Young master doesn't show his preferences very much. , you can ask him yourself."

Chen Xing was taken aback when he heard the words, and felt that his words were a bit weird, what did he mean by not showing it very much.

Seeing that the astonishment on Chen Xing's face was too obvious, Qiu Jiu rarely explained, "Due to an accident at home, young master, there was a period of unpleasant time, and during that time, young master developed a habit of not easily expressing his likes and dislikes." habits, as with things, and more so with food."

Chen Xing pursed his lips, he couldn't imagine what Gu Lang went through during that time to develop such a habit of not being very trustworthy.Gu Lang's pale and handsome face suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and he remembered the rumors he had heard about the Gu family in the city, and suddenly felt a little more fond of him.

Maybe it was because the distressed expression on Chen Xing's face was too obvious, but Qiu Jiu who was next to him couldn't help but say something more, "You treat the son differently, you can ask him what he likes, and he will tell you."

At least before Chen Xing, Qiu Jiu had never seen anyone who could mobilize Gu Lang's emotions, and it was even more impossible for him to see a son who had always been rational, showing such childish behavior as he did in front of Chen Xing.

Hearing Qiu Jiu's words, Chen Xing was shocked, then looked at Qiu Jiu next to him, and thanked cautiously, "Thank you, I understand."

Hearing Chen Xing's words, Qiu Jiu showed him a bright smile, showing his white teeth, and said cheerfully: "You're welcome, my lord is happy, we servants can follow suit."

Chen Xing listened to his words, and felt more pity for Gu Lang in his heart, thinking that he should treat Gu Lang better in the future. After all, Gu Lang is such a good person, if he doesn't treat Gu Lang well One point, it is really inappropriate.

With such thoughts in mind, Chen Xing walked on the road of meeting Gu's mansion with a heavy heart.

Just after Chen Xing and Qiu Jiu left the booth, a group of people suddenly jumped out from the corner of the street. With obscene expressions on their faces, they first stared at the direction where Chen Xing and the others left for a while, and then got together After muttering for a long time, under the leadership of the team leader, he walked towards the booth that Chen Xing had packed up.

When Chen Xing and the others returned to the Gu Mansion, it was still early, and Chen Xing took a shower as usual before going to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

Standing in the kitchen, Chen Xing looked at the fresh vegetables on the stove. He was about to start preparing them, but he remembered what Qiu Jiu said when he came back.He hesitated for a moment, then put down the things in his hand, walked to the kitchen and walked towards Gu Lang's study.

When they got to the study room, they saw Gu Lang sitting upright at the desk, looking at the book in his hands from the window.He stared at Gu Lang's pale face for a long while, but never spoke.

Until Gu Lang inside noticed his gaze, he raised his head and looked in his direction, and smiled when he saw him, then put down the book in his hand, waved to him, and said softly: "Why are you standing here?" Won't you come in?"

Chen Xing looked at Gu Lang who was smiling at him, walked in without hesitation, came to him, and asked after hesitation: "I just want to ask, what do you want to eat for lunch today?"

Gu Lang felt a little strange when he heard his question. When they were not familiar with each other at first, Chen Xing asked him what he didn't eat. When Chen Xing got to know them better, he didn't ask this question much, and he didn't know Why did you suddenly ask again.

Gu Lang was puzzled, so he took advantage of the situation and asked.

Chen Xing pursed his lips, looked at Gu Lang who was looking at him intently, hesitated for a while, and said what Qiu Jiu said to himself, and finally asked a little nervously: "Some things I made Do you not like it, out of politeness, you tell me that you like it."

As soon as Chen Xing finished speaking, he saw that Gu Lang was staring at him without speaking, and the room was eerily quiet.

After a while, Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing, smiled softly, and said in a doting tone, "You."
