Chapter 173 A bit of fate
Su Xiaomu endured the boredom towards the coachman and the dull pain in his forehead, waiting for them to leave his sight quickly.
But just at this moment, a gust of wind blew by, blowing up the car curtains on their side.
Sitting in that gorgeous carriage was a gorgeous young woman with exquisite makeup and luxurious clothing.
At this moment, she was holding her forehead and looking out boredly. She happened to catch a glimpse of Gu Jingcheng, whose face was also blown away by the car curtain.
With just one glance, the noble lady was attracted by Gu Jingcheng's appearance. She immediately stopped the carriage, curiously opened the curtains and stuck her head out to ask with a bright smile.
"I wonder what the young master's name is? Meeting by chance can be considered a bit of fate. Why don't you tell me your name, how about we all make friends?"
Just from a quick glance, she could tell that this young master was a scholar.
She didn't know when did such a handsome student come to Fucheng that made people unable to look away after just one glance?
"Since we met by chance, why do we need to know our names?"
Gu Jingcheng stretched out his hand to open the curtain, and gave the woman a cold look, his eyes cold and filled with ice: "If you want to leave, girl, please leave quickly, but don't block our way."
"It doesn't matter. If you don't want to tell me your name now, you will tell me yourself later."
The woman was not angry at Gu Jingcheng's bad attitude in speaking. As a scholar, he always maintains his own identity and has a bit of a temper.
But looking at the carriage he was riding in, it didn't belong to a wealthy family.
Since she was born into a poor family, she had many ways to manipulate him.
The woman asked her coachman to hurry up. She lowered the car curtain, with a curious and somewhat excited smile on her face: "Go and find out his identity."
"Yes." The maid serving her next to her understood the meaning of her young lady in just a moment. Her tone was flattering, "If the young master just now knew that he was rejecting you, young lady, he would definitely regret it very much at this moment."
"He won't regret it." The woman glanced at the maid playfully. She lay down slightly, half leaning on the soft pillow, and slowly stroked her bun with her slender fingernails painted with alchemy. "If he regrets it,
, I just find it boring."
The carriage continued to move forward smoothly. This wealthy woman was already looking forward to her next meeting with Gu Jingcheng.
After Su Xiaomu and Gu Jingcheng arrived in Fucheng, they separated, and Gu Jingcheng continued to take classes at Wan Fuzi's place.
He hasn't been there for a long time, probably because he missed a lot of classes.
Su Xiaomu had nothing to do and wandered around the street alone for a while.
She passed by the tailor shop in Fucheng and thought that the Zhao family in the dessert shop had not yet found their winter clothes, so she planned to go in and shop again.
By the way, buy some new clothes for herself, along with the Gu family and Gu Jingcheng.
Well... who said she has nothing but a little money?
There is a small amount of clothes here, so Su Xiaomu is not very good at bargaining with the boss, so she buys two winter coats for everyone at the price of 500 yuan. As for the rewards later... she will prepare them in the twelfth lunar month.
After all, it's close to her here, so it's convenient to reward her with things.
At the dessert shop, Shi Zhu would come over from time to time to help Su Xiaomu check the business. It just so happened that today, she had just finished taking the accounts here and was about to go back to Zhumeng Xiaozhu to close the accounts.
Speaking of which, Su Xiaomu was very successful in discovering what she and Shi Lan were good at, knowing that one of them was good at managing things and the other was good at settling accounts.
"How's the business at the dessert shop these days? Has anyone made any trouble?"
In addition to asking for the account books, Shi Zhu would also be concerned about the business situation here, so with her here, Su Xiaomu didn't have to ask Aunt Zhao anymore.
"It's nothing. It's just that a little maid came to our place yesterday to buy food. Although she is a servant, she is dressed very elegantly in brocade. I think she was specially trained by a wealthy family to serve the master. Maybe it's because she has high taste? She
As soon as he came in, he said that the food in our restaurant was ordinary, and he also laughed at the customers who came to eat because they had never seen much of the world or seen any good things, so they regarded our place as a treasure."
Shi Zhu usually has a quiet personality, but she has already regarded Su Xiaomu as her home. Now when she hears someone slandering her home, of course her attitude will not be much better.
"But Madam, don't worry. Although the little maid has a bad mouth, this is not the first time that the guests have come to our place for dinner. No one will take what she said to heart. After she left, I ordered Zhao Lin Zhao
Mu, don’t let her in next time.”
Although it has been a day since the incident, Shi Zhu is still a little angry when talking about it now.
"There's no need to deliberately not allow her to come in. It doesn't matter if she talks nonsense, as long as she doesn't make trouble here. Besides, we open the store here, and she's not the only one with bad mouth. Why bother yourself because of this matter? What I really like is in
We who eat food don't care about these gossips that don't even show a shadow."
Su Xiaomu didn't take this matter to heart. After comforting Shi Zhu for a few words, he told her that someone would come to cut clothes for them in the afternoon and asked her to go with him later.
Being able to ride in a horse-drawn carriage instead of having to make do in an ox-cart, Shi Zhu certainly had nothing to say no to, and she immediately nodded in agreement.
Because there was some delay in taking measurements, Su Xiaomu and Shi Zhu returned to Zhumeng Xiaozhu in the evening.
As soon as she got off the carriage, before she could even step through the door of Zhumeng Xiaozhu, a maid hurried towards her and whispered in her ear.
"A distinguished guest has arrived. He is the grandest among all the girls. He has booked our best room for three months."
"When did you come?"
When Su Xiaomu heard about such a big deal coming from heaven, he couldn't help but be extremely curious.
The money required for her best wing in three months is not a small sum of money.
"Not long after you left, Madam, her carriage was also extremely magnificent. Sister Shi Lan was afraid that the carriages of the guests coming and going would bump into hers, so she specially designated a new place for her to park her car."
The maid thought about it carefully and didn't remember clearly what she said to Su Xiaomu.
She came over not long after she left. The carriage was still magnificent. He would spend so much money on her when he made a move. She couldn't be the woman she met on the road who looked noble at first sight, right?
Su Xiaomu had doubts in her heart, so she ordered the maid: "Since you are an honored guest, you should serve me well and don't make any mistakes. Remember, we must not ruin the reputation of our dream building."
"Don't worry, madam, we can avoid this."
The maid was well aware of Su Xiaomu's instructions. She had other things to do now, so she left with Su Xiaomu and went to attend to her errands.
After the maid left, Su Xiaomu was curious about the noble girl and wanted to go into Zhu Meng Xiaozhu to see who she was.
