"Wipe your face first."

After entering the main hall, Gu Shiqin did not rush to show off his elders' airs, but took out a clean handkerchief and handed it to Qingxi lovingly.

Qingxi was stimulated by those shopkeepers once today, and when she got home, she was stubborn and was aroused by her grandmother. She was already angry, but Gu Shiqin was worthy of being immersed in the mall for twenty years. Knowing that this was not the best time to persuade her, Qingxi was stunned for a moment, and her thorns were rubbed by her elders.

In the final analysis, Qingxi is a lady raised by her parents. Unless the situation is special, she cannot do too rude.

"Thank you, Uncle Gu." Qingxi took the veil and lowered his head to wipe his face.

Gu Shiqin sat back on the seat with a smile, and gave his son a meaningful look.

Gu Mingyan didn't admire him. He would also coax girls, but his fiancée said something amazing just now, and he would lose his composure only after he caught him off guard. At this moment, he looked at Qingxi's little face obediently, quiet and reserved, like a particularly particular kitten. The depression in Gu Mingyan's chest quietly dissipated and he waited patiently.

Qingxi could feel the eyes of the father and son, wiped her face, and she left the seat and said apologetically to the man in the main seat: "Uncle Gu, Qingxi is reckless today, but I am really not suitable for Brother Gu. I must learn to cook. I have to be with the smoke all day long. Brother Gu needs a dignified wife with proper behavior."

Gu Mingyan was about to refute immediately, but was stopped by Gu Shiqin's look.

Looking at Qingxi, Gu Shiqin suggested: "Xu Qingtang is a century-old brand, and the uncle can't bear to see the restaurant passed down by the Xu family's ancestral family disappear. In this way, the uncle opened a restaurant in Hangzhou and hung the plaque of Xu Qingtang. Please go back to the original old friends of Xu Qingtang, and you can take care of it. Qingxi checks the accounts every month and does not have to cook in person. How about it?"

The better the elders were to her, the harder it would be to say what Qingxi refused, and the lower his voice was: "I want to rely on myself to revive Xu Qingtang."

The little girl was ambitious, Gu Shiqin nodded and asked, "Do you have a plan?"

Qingxi blushed and tilted her head and said, "I thought of Hangzhou and plan in detail." In the past few days, her mind was full of father.

Gu Shiqin was silent. The child's attitude seemed to be difficult to reverse.

"Qingxi, I support you whether you learn to cook or run a restaurant. If you don't want to spend the Gu family's money, I can only help you with advice, and even you will be the ones related to the restaurant." Finally, when I got to the opportunity to speak, Gu Mingyan walked to Qingxi and gently held his fiancée's hand regardless of the elders' presence.

Qingxi wanted to retract, but Gu Mingyan clenched it tightly. Then, the moment Qingxi looked up, Gu Mingyan stared at her moist eyes and said, "You think I am suitable for a lady who never leaves the house, but I just want to marry a woman I have already gotten into. Qingxi, you are a gentle and quiet lady. I marry you. You are the chef who cooks firewood and vegetables in the kitchen. I also marry you. If you become the boss in the future, I will only be proud of you and will never dislike you to show up in public. In front of my father, I promise you that every word I said just now, if there is a half-hearted statement, I will tell me that Gu Mingyan has no wife or son in this life and will live alone."

The man's eyes were like fire, his palms were hot, and Qingxi forgot to react with such infatuated promise and persistence.

"Don't break off the engagement?" Gu Mingyan asked in a low voice, with a hint of coaxing in Rumo's eyes.

Qingxi feels very uncomfortable.

Gu Mingyan is serious about her, and she can't tell you what Gu Mingyan is wrong for the time being, but...

She took a step back and since she started, she simply explained it at once: "Uncle Gu, Brother Gu is nice to me, I know, but I believe you can see that the old lady and the wife do not agree with this marriage. The concept of family is human nature, and my grandmother has it. I don't blame the two elders, but the forced melon is not sweet. I don't want to become like my mother in the future and talk to my mother-in-law without any speculation."

Speaking of this, Qingxi smiled self-deprecatingly: "My grandmother opposes me to learn cooking. I dare not expect the old lady. My aunt will accept a daughter-in-law like me, and she doesn't want Uncle Gu. Brother Gu is stuck in the middle and makes things difficult for both sides. After thinking about it, breaking off the engagement is good for the Xu family and Gu family. Uncle Gu, Qingxi asks you to fulfill it."

Bypassing Gu Mingyan, Qingxi knelt down at Gu Shiqin.

Gu Shiqin felt pity for this child, but he couldn't agree. He helped Qingxi up and said, "I have an appointment with your father first. If you regret marriage, I will be sorry for your father and your conscience. Qingxi, you are still young, and there are still two years before getting married. During this period, you can do whatever you want. Uncle supports it fully. No one can tell what happens in two years. Maybe you don't want to learn cooking anymore. Maybe Mingyan's mother is willing to accept you sincerely. Everything is possible. Then, let's discuss the marriage again?"

Qingxi can no longer find a reason to refuse.

Gu Shiqin patted the little girl on the shoulder, left, leaving the main hall for the two children.

Qingxi lowered his head, not knowing how to face Gu Mingyan.

"If old lady, my mother likes you, would you marry me?" Gu Mingyan bent down and stared at his fiancée inquiry. He wanted to confirm whether Qingxi proposed to break off the engagement, was he worried about his elders or was dissatisfied with him.

The man's meaning was very obvious. Qingxi looked at him and nodded slowly.

After seven days of his father's funeral, Gu Mingyan stayed here for seven days and helped a lot. Qingxi could not remain indifferent.

But seeing Gu Mingyan smiled, the tenderness in his eyes was about to spread, Qingxi turned his back crampedly and said embarrassedly: "Brother Gu, I don't want to lie to you. Actually, I am 80% sure. No matter how long the old lady and the wife will not like me, so next, I will only treat you as the elder brother, not the fiancé. Also, when I arrived in Hangzhou, my energy should be focused on revitalizing Xuqingtang. I don't want to use you or the Gu family, but our engagement is effective in one day, and others will take the initiative to give me some convenience. This is my advantage. If you think it is unfair, let's persuade Uncle Gu to agree to break the engagement together?"

The girl, who is only fifteen years old, speaks one by one and another, and is clearly divided. Although Gu Mingyan is unhappy, his fiancée just wants to treat him as his elder brother, looking at Qingxi's petite back and fair and tender face, Gu Mingyan also thinks that Qingxi is very interesting. Anyway, her age is here, so there is no need to hurry.

"In the future, except for me to speak first, you don't have to mention the word "breaker"." Going forward, Gu Mingyan deliberately stood close to Qingxi, his chest almost touching her back, and then said in her ear: "Qingxi, I am willing to take advantage of you."

The man's warm breath blew on her most sensitive earlobe, and Qingxi shivered uncontrollably. It was an indescribable tremor that had never been seen before. Qingxi was unfamiliar and panicked, and she didn't even dare to look at Gu Mingyan again. She nodded randomly, and ran out of the main hall like running away, leaving no shadow in the blink of an eye.

Gu Mingyan closed his eyes, and there seemed to be a faint body fragrance on his fiancée's body. Qingxi's blushing side face was the best reward for his hard work for many days.

Gu Shiqin contacted Qingxi Niang a three-entry house in Laoliu Lane.

Laoliu Lane is located in the center of Hangzhou City, a good place to be quiet in the midst of the noise. Walking west for ten minutes, outside the alley is the beautiful Nanhu Lake. On the east, south and north sides are either the famous street full of small pavilions, or the newly built shopping malls and cinemas, all within 30 minutes of travel, making life convenient.

In such a location, the rent for the house is naturally not cheap. Gu Shiqin got a favor price, which costs fifty yuan a month. Qingxi and Lin Wanyin felt it was expensive, which exceeded the budget, but it is undeniable that the environment inside and outside the house is really good. It is said that many dignitaries live nearby, and patrol patrols are arranged every day on the road, which is extremely safe.

Old Mrs. Xu fell in love with her at first sight, and praised Gu Mingyan, Yuxi and Yunxi who were accompanying her were even more excited. The little Yunxi even took her second sister's hand and started to visit the house.

"Live here!" Seeing that the eldest granddaughter seemed to be hesitating, Old Mrs. Xu quickly stamped and ordered the servants of the Gu family to move their luggage in.

Deep in Qingxi's heart, she could not resist the house, so when her grandmother finalized it, she gritted her teeth and agreed.

She has more than 500 yuan, and she can rent it for a year when she saves money. It takes a long time for a year, so she doesn't believe she can't find a way to make money.

After the luggage was settled and the house was visited, Gu Mingyan brought four servants over and said to Lin Wanyinniang a few times: "Old lady, aunt, my father said that our two families are in-laws, and my father must take care of them, otherwise it will be criticized if it is reported. He will not help with money, but you must accept these four servants, and someone must serve them when they are washed and cooked."

Lin Wanyin looked at her daughter, Qingxi looked at the four servants, and Old Mrs. Xu happily said, "Okay, go back and thank your father for me."

Gu Mingyan smiled and introduced the four people in turn. Li Ma, Uncle Li is a couple. Uncle Li is responsible for the foreign affairs of the house, passing messages, purchasing, etc., Li Ma is responsible for cooking, Wang Ma is responsible for washing and cleaning, and Xiaolan specially sent Qingxi maids. Last time, when Qingxi, Old Lady Xu came to Hangzhou, it was Li Ma and Xiaolan who served him.

"My father has paid ten years of wages in advance. If they are not well served, the old lady will send someone to inform her."

Old Mrs. Xu expressed her gratitude again.

As noon approached, Gu Mingyan refused the invitation of Mrs. Xu to leave the meal and stood up and left.

Old Mrs. Xu hurriedly ordered her eldest granddaughter: "Qingxi, go and see him off."

This time Gu Mingyan was not polite and looked at Qingxi with a smile.

Qingxi walked out with him openly.

"It's okay in the afternoon, I'll accompany you around to make it familiar?" As far away from the main hall, Gu Mingyan gathered with his fiancée, keeping intimate distance without causing Qingxi to resist.

Qingxi had another plan and shook his head and said, "Just just moved here, we have to prepare to send a gift from our neighbors."

Gu Mingyan remembered this, looked at Qingxi, and changed his mouth and said, "Then, will I come here on Saturday?"

Gu Mingyan has experience when dating men and women and knows that he should not be too tight, especially for women like Qingxi who are not used to getting close to men and women.

Today was Tuesday, Qingxi breathed a sigh of relief, I was really afraid that Gu Mingyan would come every day.

She kept sending Gu Mingyan out of the door.

"Go in." Gu Mingyan walked to his Ford and waved his hand to Qingxi.

Qingxi politely did not move.

Gu Mingyan had to get into the car, and the driver started, and Qingxi turned back to the yard.

Gu Mingyan tilted his head and couldn't see his fiancée anymore, so he sat down again.

Ford drove out of the narrow Laoliu Lane, turned to the right, and began to drive along the east bank of Nanhu Lake. The lake was wide open, and Gu Mingyan put down the window and felt happy because of the arrival of his fiancée. However, just as the car was about to turn at a fork in the road, Gu Mingyan suddenly frowned and determined to look out of the car.

On the edge of the Nanhu Lake where the willows were rosy, a man in black clothes and sunglasses was walking slowly like a leisurely walk in the garden, followed by a large dog breed with black hair. Gu Mingyan was knowledgeable and recognized at a glance that it was a purebred German black back, but what made him frown was the owner of the black back, that is, his nominal third uncle.

Gu Huaixiu, why did he appear here?

The car had turned, and Gu Mingyan was still staring at the man on the shore.

Gu Huaixiu seemed to have no idea and called out "Laifu".

So, he stopped and looked at the German black back of the Ford car, immediately gave up doubting his target, ran back to his master, and continued to walk with him.
