: Sacrificing face

Gu Jingcheng was not annoyed, he just turned his head and looked at the night scene outside the window. In front of him were the lights of tall buildings, the Milky Way in the sky, and a huge bright moon hanging in the sky. The moonlight covered the mountains and rivers of Kyoto with its clear brilliance, which was magnificent and shocking.

Looking at the grand scene in front of him, he seemed to suddenly understand something.

He and Su Xiaomu do still have a chance, and he must seize this opportunity!

"Zhou Lin!" Gu Jingcheng turned around and snatched the wine bottle from Zhou Lin's hand with bright eyes. He said to himself without giving him a chance to speak, "Do one thing for me."

Su Xiaomu went to the Taifu's residence early the next day with Gu Jingcheng.

Su Xiaomu made a lot of cakes and brought them to Shangguan Rui. People like Shangguan Rui have seen countless rare things in their lives. Even if they spend a lot of money to buy them in the capital, they are just trinkets to Shangguan Rui.

That’s all.

So compared to money, Su Xiaomu thought that the heart would be better.

Gu Jingcheng and Shangguan Rui were talking in the room. The two of them were talking about articles together. Shangguan Rui was studying Gu Jingcheng's knowledge. Su Xiaomu either couldn't understand what they were talking about, or she was confused by nine out of ten sentences.

Go outside and talk to the officer's wife.

This Mrs. Shangguan is about the same age as Mrs. Li, but she may have been pampered for many years. She looks no different from a girl in her twenties, but her eyes are less immature and more peaceful.

"My husband just told me about you a few days ago, saying that you are a rare and wonderful woman in the world. You are not only courageous but also very responsible. Your husband is lucky to marry you."

Chen Xi, Shangguan's wife, took the initiative to take Su Xiaomu's hand and expressed her appreciation and closeness to her: "You are my disciple's benefactor and friend, and you are destined to be with our Shangguan Mansion. You must move around frequently in the future."

"That's natural. As long as Madam doesn't bother us coming so often, I want to stay with Madam every day."

Su Xiaomu likes beautiful people and things, and Shangguan's wife Chen Xi is beautiful and kind, and she loves getting along with her.

Besides, she has just arrived in the capital and can establish a good relationship with the Shangguan government. From every aspect, it will be of infinite benefit to her and Gu Jingcheng.

Su Xiaomu had a lot of future and stability in front of her eyes. She talked happily to Chen Xi and ate cakes she made with Chen Xi. It wasn't until Gu Jingcheng came out of Shangguan Rui's study that Su Xiaomu said goodbye to Chen Xi.

Su Xiaomu and Gu Jingcheng left together. Shangguan Rui also left the study at some point. He held Chen Xi's hand with emotion, his eyes fell on her half-eaten cake and said: "Compared to Gu Jingcheng, Mrs. Su is more impressive."

profound."

"I rarely hear you praise a woman like this. Although I only spent one day with her today, I generally feel that she is different from other women."

Chen Xi took Shangguan Rui's arm in amusement. Her beautiful eyes only saw Shangguan Rui. At this time, she didn't care at all about the maid and boy next to her.

The maid and the servant had long been accustomed to the closeness of their wives to adults, so they withdrew without saying a word.

"I only admire her for her temperament. You were not there that day, and you didn't see her going all out for her husband. A weak woman, a person who Princess Xingyue could crush with one finger, on that day

Isn't it surprising that such power can burst out in front of me?"

Shangguan Rui held his beloved wife in his arms and stroked her hair affectionately: "You also like such self-centered women, don't you?"

"Self?" Chen Xi chuckled, "I haven't heard such a fresh word for a long time. What do you want to see in them? Do you think Madam Su looks like the person you have in mind?"

Chen Xi's scrutinizing eyes wandered over Shangguan Rui's hand holding hers, and then he smiled contemptuously: "There are many students in the capital, so please don't make the wrong mistake."

"I believe in Madam's vision. Madam Su will surprise us."

Shangguan Rui just pretended that he couldn't hear the deep meaning in Chen Xi's words.

Su Xiaomu and Gu Jingcheng were not busy going back after leaving Shangguan Mansion.

Su Xiaomu has been in the capital for so long that he never had time to walk around.

Now that she is finally free, she wants to take a look at the shops in the capital. If there is a suitable one, she can start a small business here to make a living.

Anyway, she couldn't go back to Fucheng for a while. Now that she was here, it would be inappropriate not to guard Gu Jingcheng's imperial examination.

Su Xiaomu didn't want to waste time. She didn't want to wait in the inn every day for Gu Jingcheng to come back.

So Gu Jingcheng accompanied her to the market.

"Before I arrived in the capital, I thought the city was already very big, but I didn't expect that it would take me several days to visit all the markets."

The so-called east market buys horses, the west market buys saddles and bridles, the south market buys bridles, and the north market buys long whips.

Each place sells different things, so it does require some effort.

If she opened her grocery store in Beijing, it might not be as popular as in Fucheng, but the beauty salon would be very popular no matter what.

There are many more ladies and gentlemen in the capital than in the capital, and they are richer and more willing to spend time on their faces.

Su Xiaomu seemed to have seen a lot of money waving to her at this moment.

However, there are many disputes in the capital. Even if there are many opportunities to make money, she has to think twice and struggle a lot.

Gu Jingcheng walked beside Su Xiaomu. He could see the hesitation on her face and knew what she was thinking in her heart.

Su Xiaomu is a businessman who is very suitable for doing business. She has many novel ideas in her mind, and she also has a forward-looking vision that is easy for others in the business field. Her only shortcoming is that she always struggles for a long time when making decisions.

Crisis comes with opportunities. When Su Xiaomu persuaded herself to accept the crisis, she had countless struggles and expectations in her heart.

She must be in high school, so that she can be a powerful help.

Gu Jingcheng couldn't help thinking, and secretly made a decision for himself.

"Gu Jingcheng."

Su Xiaomu's clear voice rang in his ears: "If nothing goes wrong, I will go shopping in the next few days. You can read at the inn and tell me if you have anything to do when I get back."

Su Xiaomu made up her mind to wander around. She wanted to wander alone and didn't want to be surrounded by many tails.

Even though this tail is very quiet, it will never talk too much when it shouldn't.

"I've finished reading all the books I should read. I can accompany you." Gu Jingcheng shook his head to reject her, his bright eyes full of worry.

"You just came to the capital and are not familiar with the place. If you don't have anyone to accompany you, I'd be worried about you."

"If I can't find a way, I will ask myself. The most important thing for you now is to study. Don't spend your mind on other things. We each have our own important things to do. Let's work together and don't give anything to anyone.

How about adding to the chaos?"

Su Xiaomu is in a good mood today and is willing to say a few words to comfort him.

"No." Gu Jingcheng still refused, his tone of voice was stubborn and unquestionable, "If I don't accompany you, I won't feel at ease while reading."

"That's up to you."

After trying to persuade her to no avail, Su Xiaomu was forced to accept the fact that she had an extra tail.
