On the Day the Scumbag Got Married, I Lay Flat and Became His Sister-in-law Chapter 166

  Chapter 166 was caught by the young master

"I heard that the new delicacies released by Jixianglou this time are all rare items, and those with the highest price will get them. Just in case, I want to prepare more money. The opportunity is to build momentum for the young master." Gu Xiyan brought out the statement she had prepared earlier in the morning.

  She guessed that Wan Qinghou might have known Zhou Mu's identity through his relationship with the old lady. If so, it would be no problem for her to get the three thousand taels of silver today.

  Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't get it, her real goal is to get the four sisters of the Liu family into the game.

  The old lady nodded frequently: "Is the Jixianglou Food Festival so amazing?"

"Grandmother doesn't know that Jixianglou is the most famous restaurant in the capital, and the customers who go to the restaurant to eat are either rich or expensive. This is the first time that Jixianglou has held a food festival since the restaurant was built. It is not only a food auction, There are also various palace cakes for sale, so it will definitely be lively." Gu Xiyan deliberately exaggerated.

  In fact, the so-called food festival is a gimmick that she just thought of. As for the result, it is really hard to predict.

   But now that she has this idea, she has to go to Jixiang Building later to discuss this matter with Wu Tong.

  The palace cakes for sale also have to start preparing today. Due to time constraints, she is not sure that this food festival will not be able to earn one hundred thousand taels, but she will do her best.

   "Since the food festival is important, grandma will give you five thousand taels first. If it is not enough, you can talk to grandma." The old lady should be straightforward.

  Liu Junyan was very jealous when she saw this, and interjected: "Grandma, I want to participate in the food festival too!"

   Maybe Xu Yanqing will go, since all the dignitaries in the city are likely to participate, it is naturally an opportunity to make a name for themselves.

   "You can participate, but be careful." The old lady did not stop.

   "And me, I'm going too." The other three girls also came to join in the fun.

  Seeing this scene, Gu Xiyan lowered her head and suppressed the smile in her eyes.

   With these four girls from the Liu family who love to compare themselves with each other, the food festival can be hot no matter how cold it is. Her goal today has been achieved.

   "Grandmother gave elder sister five thousand taels of silver, what about me?" Liu Junyan looked at the old lady eagerly.

  The old lady glanced at Liu Junyan lightly: "Sister Jun, your elder sister is different. She is engaged. This trip is to raise the reputation of Master Zhou. You, a girl who has not been engaged, don't need to be too public."

  Liu Junyan became angry when she heard this.

   Isn't Zhou Mu the right servant of the third-rank household department? It's not a big official, why is grandma so eccentric?

  But it's okay if the grandmother doesn't give it, she went to her mother to ask for money.

   The Food Festival the day after tomorrow cannot let Gu Xiyan stand out alone, she has to participate.

   Not only Liu Junyan thinks this way, even Liu Chaoyan, Liu Huiyan and Liu Meiyan have the same plan.

  They all have more or less private money in their hands, and Gu Xiyan has five thousand taels of silver in his hand, so naturally they can't be less than Gu Xiyan.

   Even if it is not enough, you have to find a way to ask the elders for it...

  When Gu Xiyan walked out of Zaohui Hall, Qiu Shi gave her a thumbs up: "Young lady, this move is great!"

  The four girls of the Liu family have always looked down on the girl. How could they not cause damage when they saw the girl show off the limelight this time? With those four girls from the Liu family who love to compare, she can be sure that the food festival the day after tomorrow will be wonderful.

"It's almost time, Hu Die should be here too. I'm going to Jixianglou, and I'm sure I'll spend the next two days in the dining hall. If the son is looking for me, let Shen's mother tell me that I'm looking for Su Mei." Gu Xiyan confessed in a low voice.

  Qiu Shi replied softly.

  After listening to Gu Xiyan's plan, Wu Tong gave Miss Gu another high-level look.

   "The time is very urgent. If you are too urgent the next day, you can postpone it by one day." Seeing Wu Tong's silence, Gu Xiyan thought it was because she was late.

  Wu Tong was silent for a moment and said: "The girl is fine, so I'm fine too. It's just that everyone is free to send out the message. I'm afraid the effect will not be good."

   Gu Xiyan thinks this is a concern: "I need to raise a sum of money urgently, otherwise there is no need to hurry. Since you are fine, then let's do it. At worst, we will start the auction at noon, and the main event will be after the time limit."

   Most of the officials in Beijing are on duty after the time limit has passed, and this time is the most free.

   "The palace snacks that the girl wants to sell..."

Before Wu Tong opened his mouth, Gu Xiyan said: "Jixianglou will be closed today and tomorrow, and I will teach you the steps of making pastries later. I am worried that too many diners will cause confusion, so I want to limit the number of diners. Bid to enter Jixiang Building..."

   Wu Tong nodded repeatedly.

  Next, the cook learned from Gu Xiyan how to make the palace's secret desserts, and other staff in the restaurant went to the street to spread the word.

  In fact, when they went to spread the news, the four sisters of the Liu family had already spread it through their boudoir friends.

   These few are high-minded, even the two concubine girls of the Liu family, they are all famous ladies.

  Through the big mouths of the four girls of the Liu family, the news that Jixianglou will hold a food festival the day after tomorrow has already spread in the capital.

  The next day, Zhou Mu was on duty at the government office and heard someone spreading the news.

  When he left the official office, Xu Yanqing was also on duty, and the two happened to run into each other.

Xu Yanqing also heard about Zhou Mu's proposal of marriage to Gu Xiyan. Although he was unwilling, he still said to Zhou Mu grandly: "Tomorrow evening, there will be a food festival in Jixiang Building, and I will invite Mr. Zhou to have a drink. It is to celebrate Master Zhou and Miss Gu's engagement."

  Zhou Mu saw Xu Yanqing's frustration, and after a moment of silence, he finally agreed: "Okay."

   Apart from the personal grievances with Xu Yanqing, he feels that Xu Yanqing has good character and ability, and Da Jin needs such talents.

  Back home, Zhou Mu said to Qi Zhiyuan: "Go and ask Xi Yan to come over!"

  Qi Zhiyuan thought to himself that the young master is really in a hurry. But only one day later, I wanted to see another girl again.

  He communicated with Min'er, but Min'er sent a message saying that Miss Gu went to Su's house to see Miss Su Er.

   "She actually has friendship with Miss Su Er?" Zhou Mu was a little surprised.

   "Miss Gu and Miss Su Er are about the same age, so it's not surprising that they have friendship."

  As soon as Qi Zhiyuan finished speaking, Zhou Mu said, "Prepare the carriage. She hasn't returned home at this hour, so I don't worry!"

   "I heard that Ms. Hu is a master of martial arts. With Ms. Hu's protection, Ms. Gu will be fine..."

   Zhou Mu looked over, Qi Zhiyuan changed his tone and said, "Your subordinate will make arrangements now, young master, wait a moment."

   Just like that, Zhou Mu went to Su's residence.

  He didn't enter Su's residence, but just waited quietly in front of Su's residence. Seeing the sunset, the sky was dim, and Gu Xiyan hadn't come out, he felt something was wrong.

   "Zhiyuan, go ask what's going on." Zhou Mu said seriously.

  Qi Zhiyuan immediately went to Su's house to inquire, and soon he returned to Zhou Mu and replied: "The concierge said that Miss Gu didn't come to Su's house today."

  But when Min'er sent the message, it was clear that she came to Su's house. Was it Min'er who sent the wrong message, or Miss Gu lying?

  He thinks it's probably the latter.

   I really can't see that Miss Gu, who looks so honest, would lie, and was caught by the young master.

  He quietly looked at Zhou Mu, Zhou Mu's face was somewhat unpredictable under the twilight.

  I feel that there are quite a few people who like porridge CP, and the Qishi couple also have a lot of favorites. You can go to the post and like it to see which one is higher.
