Nongmen scholar

Chapter 142: Shangguan’s Temptation (2)
But she clearly understands that Qingli and the others will not live here forever, judging from Gao Yili and Ling Wang's friendship with him, and various forces trying to win him over, he must have a very simple identity, not just a It's so simple for people who have just been admitted to the number one scholar and come to live in this mountain village without being awarded an official.

It's not that she didn't know before, but she just deliberately ignored this idea, but after King Ling came, she couldn't ignore it, and the existence of those two maids kept reminding her that Bai Qingli and the others would meet one day. She left, and she didn't want to leave her brothers!At least not too far away, only a few times in a lifetime.

Some people will definitely think that she is hypocritical, but only she knows how much she cherishes this family relationship. Since she came here, she has been working hard for this family and the love of her brothers.Even if she opened a restaurant now and made some money, this is inseparable from the love of her brothers. Most of the capital for opening the restaurant came from Gu Sanlin selling porridge on the street. Now the restaurant is on the right track They were very considerate of her and didn't want her to work hard, so the two elder brothers took care of the restaurant with all their strength and only let her visit it occasionally.

Although the elder brother didn't help in the restaurant, he was busy with farm work at home, and he often helped her bring the little treasures he picked up. He spent more time with the little treasures than she did by herself.

This is family affection!Now that she has enjoyed these family relationships, she has to cherish them. If she stays away from her relatives for the sake of a man, then she will really despise herself. She is not such a person!It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, it's her idea!
She has always been a person who attaches great importance to family affection, and sometimes she feels that she really has a problem. After all, at the age of first love, which girl doesn't just think about love?
She admitted that she was just that weird, but so what?She only knows what she cherishes most and what she is doing is fine!I don't want to think about what other people think, life is my own, and I can decide how to go, and she has already made a decision!

As for Bai Qingli, she was indeed sorry for him, but he would leave one day, she was just a passer-by in his life, and maybe he was just a passer-by in her long life.There will be many passers-by in a person's life, and parting is inevitable, so just keep it in your heart and take it out occasionally to miss it. When she is old and gray-haired, maybe she can still recall the people she met in her life with her grandchildren Let's make peace.

Gu Xiaobei opened her eyes, stretched out her hands and patted herself on the head forcefully, and smiled wryly, she found so many reasons for herself, thinking it would be better, but why did she still feel so hurt in her heart?There seems to be a hole in my heart, it hurts and feels empty!

"Xiao Bei!"

A familiar voice sounded from behind, Gu Xiaobei suppressed the annoyance in her heart, turned around and shouted: "Brother!" But when she turned around and saw Gu Datian and the person standing beside him, she was stunned, it was Shangguan Shijin, Why is he here?
"Xiaobei, what's wrong with you?" Gu Datian walked up to her worriedly and touched her head. When he came out just now, he saw the pain and bewilderment on Gu Xiaobei's face, and his heart suddenly ached.

"Brother, I'm fine." Gu Xiaobei smiled.

"Really?" Gu Datian still couldn't believe it. He hadn't seen Gu Xiaobei's expression just now for a long time. Since she recovered from her illness, this sister seemed to be a different person. She was both strong and smart, not at all like Gu Xiaobei. In the past, he was always sad like that, but when he came out to see her just now, he seemed to feel that she was crying in her heart, although there was not a single tear on her face.

"Of course, with my brothers here, what can I do?" Gu Xiaobei hugged Gu Datian's arm and leaned sideways, smiling authentically.

Gu Datian suddenly felt that he had thought too much just now, and he also smiled: "That's good, Mr. Shangguan came to our house and said that he has something to do with you."

Only then did Gu Xiaobei lift his head from Gu Datian's shoulder, and greeted Shangguan Shijin with a smile: "Sir Shangguan, long time no see!"

"Xiaobei, long time no see!" Shangguan Shijin had a smile on his lips, but a complex expression flashed in his eyes. Just now he came out earlier than Gu Datian, almost as soon as Gu Xiaobei hit the fence, he came out, but he But he didn't make a sound, but looked at her quietly. From the expression on her face, he seemed to see the turmoil in her heart. He had never seen such a Gu Xiaobei.

"Let's all go in, it's cold outside." Seeing Gu Xiaobei shivering, Gu Datian hastily shielded her from the wind and protected her into the yard.

Shangguan Shijin hurried in first and moved the door away.

"Talk to Mr. Shangguan for a while, and I'll make you a bowl of ginger soup." Entering the lobby, Gu Datian said.

"Okay, thank you big brother." Gu Xiaobei nodded, watched Gu Datian go to the kitchen, Gu Xiaobei called Shangguan Shijin to sit down, and then said with a smile: "Why are you here suddenly?"

"My nanny's daughter worked as a maidservant in our Shangguan Mansion, and she was released home when she was old, so I sent her back, and I came here to discuss something with you." Shangguan Shijin said with a light smile.

"What's the matter?" Gu Xiaobei asked suspiciously.

"I heard that you are looking for a shop recently. You should be planning to open a second restaurant." Shangguan Shijin said with a smile. Although it was a question, the tone of his mouth was very firm.

"Yes." Gu Xiaobei said bluntly, but she was a little surprised. In the past few days, she did ask Gu Erye and Gu Sanlin to inquire about the shop, but it was done in secret. She never thought that Shangguan Shijin would know.

She frowned, so did everyone else know about it?She wanted to open a second restaurant, but because she felt that Zhouji Restaurant and Huangfutang would not let it go, they would come to make trouble, so she didn't want the second restaurant to be affected by the first restaurant, so she wanted to open a second restaurant secretly. First restaurant, to be the boss behind the scenes of the second restaurant.

"What? Is one restaurant not enough for you to be busy? I thought this restaurant was big enough for you to be busy, so why do you want to open a second restaurant?" Shangguan Shijin asked with a half-smile.

Gu Xiaobei froze for a moment, but it disappeared instantly, and said with a smile: "Actually, you have been in business for so long, and it's not that you don't know that there are many things that the guys in the store can do by themselves, as long as we control the operation of the entire restaurant by ourselves." That’s enough, we don’t need our boss to do it himself, so opening a second restaurant is still busy, and it’s enough for each restaurant to promote a shopkeeper.”

"Yeah, it seems that you are very good at running restaurants, but even if you can manage two restaurants at the same time, you don't need to be so anxious, after all, you haven't fully established yourself, and you don't seem to need to make so much money, right? ?” Shangguan Shijin said with a faint smile.

Gu Xiaobei's face darkened, and he was silent for a while before he smiled and said: "It is precisely because we have not gained a firm foothold that we have to open another restaurant, and then we can support each other, even if one of them collapses due to an accident, we will still There is another family supporting it. As for money, no one thinks too much money, right?"
