Rebirth of the Excellent Daughter of the Marquis Household

Du Xia always wakes up early in the morning and is used to practicing martial arts. He has washed himself with well water and wanted to drink more water, but the person guarding the well water told him. If you want to drink water, you must go to the kitchen to drink boiled hot water. This is the rule in the house. If anyone breaks this rule, they will be invited out of the house. So he could only find it in the direction that the man instructed.

He saw the light in the kitchen and walked in. But he didn't expect that the person sitting behind the stove was actually Gu Yuqi, whom he had been thinking about for four years.

Du Xia was completely overwhelmed when he saw a bright face suddenly appear in front of him. He stood dumbfounded and watched the beautiful girl walk towards him step by step across the pot. Come.

Just like when Du Xia saw her for the first time in the Renyazi Market, at that time she was like a pink cloud, floating towards him with seven colors of precious light, but now Gu Yuqi is more like She is a fairy who has fallen from the world, so beautiful, but also very kind.

"Are you thirsty?" Gu Yuqi walked up to Du Xia and pulled up his sleeve with a smile, "Will there be a fire?"

Her movements are so familiar. The expression is so relaxed, they seem to be a pair of friends who have known each other for many years, rather than being separated for four years.

Du Xia wanted to hold Gu Yuqi and tell her that for four years, he had been thinking of her, and he had lived well as she said, and the things she gave him have been hanging on him with a rope like a treasure. On his chest, the little rabbit had been sticking to his heart and was carefully kept by him, and he would hardly take it down.

But these words were in Gu Yuqi's bright smile. It has become less important, the important thing is that she remembers him.

Looking at the unpretentious smile in her eyes, Du Xia's lips also drew a faint smile. After four years of training, he could barely remember what a smile looked like, and now she reminded him again.

He doesn't want to ask her again, how have you been all these years, have you thought of me over the years, why you were expelled from the mansion, why you stayed here, and so on, it has become meaningless at this moment. Word.

She was there, she remembered, and that was enough.

"Yes." Du Xia nodded, vaguely remembering the steps of making a fire when he was a child, but he has not moved the pot for many years. Afraid of not doing well.

"That's great!" Gu Yuqi breathed a sigh of relief, "My mother, I've lost my temper because of this stove. You can fix it, I'll boil water and cook something delicious for you. "Gu Yuqi smiled and pulled Du Xia behind the stove, then raised her hand and pressed his shoulder to let him sit down.

Wow, it's been a few years since I haven't seen him, he's already more than a head taller than he is. Gu Yuqi asked herself that she was no longer short, but she was still under pressure in front of Du Xia. What do boys eat? Why do you get up so fast.

Du Xia should be fifteen years old this year. Gu Yuqi remembered that he was one year older than her in the last life. A fifteen-year-old boy, his character was just beginning to develop. Besides that face was still outstanding, his stature had soared. . The skeleton of his shoulders is also pulled apart. He has practiced martial arts all year round. His shoulders are wider than ordinary teenagers, and the dark blue guard uniform looks very heroic on his body. The guard uniform is high-necked, with buttons fastened meticulously, with a sense of ascetic beauty.

As expected, he will be the most handsome Hou Ye of Daqi in the future, and the first candidate for the best husband in the eyes of all women in Daqi.

Gu Yuqi looked at Du Xia, who didn't talk much, but started to be busy. Suddenly, she felt a sense of vicissitudes of my family when she was just growing up. She was frightened and touched her cheek. Is she old?

Du Xia really knows how to burn fire, although it is relatively unfamiliar, but three times and five divisions will make the fire boom. Looking at the bright fire rising from the stove, Du Xia is slightly relieved, and lifts Jingliang up. His eyes turned to Gu Yuqi, as if waiting for her next instructions.

"The fire is really burning." Gu Yuqi then returned to her senses, and looked at Du Xia in surprise and joy.

The fire in the stove made his cheeks turn slightly red, making the face of the young man in front of him even more beautiful, floating a warm feeling.

"Wait. I'll boil water." Gu Yuqi proudly pulled up a huge iron pot and threw it onto the pot hole. Then she grabbed the water scoop and poured water from the jar into the pot. The action was completed in one go, and Du Xia was stunned when he saw it.

This... Isn't she from Hou's residence? Why do these things seem to be more agile than the servants of the palace.

Gu Yuqi didn't feel that Du Xia was frightened by the behavior of her female man. After the water got into the pot, she jumped to Du Xia's side and sat down next to him.

"Where's the rabbit I gave you?" She sat beside Du Xia, tucked her knees with her hands, tilted her head and looked at Du Xia, the brilliance flowing in her eyes was as dazzling as a galaxy.

Du Xia didn't say anything, just turned her head away uncomfortably.

As she got so close, Du Xia felt her heart beating a few beats faster, and her face instantly became hot.

"You don't lose it, right?" Gu Yuqi saw that Du Xia didn't say a word, suffocated her smile, and then said, "It's okay, it's just a little rabbit. If you lose it, you will lose it." She comforted.

Du Xia raised his neck silently, tapped his slender fingers on his collar, untied the first button on the top, then reached in and pulled the little rabbit out, and then silently took the little rabbit off. Pass it to me Gu Yuqi.

"You didn't lose it." Gu Yuqi took the little rabbit, and she was silly and straight. Du Xia's silence and Yun Ke's silence belonged to two concepts. His silence would make people feel that he was very shy and cute, but Yun Ke's silence Ke... Forget it, what are you thinking about Yun Ke at this time?

The thoughts that had settled in Gu Yuqi's heart many years ago were now beginning to stir again.

She is holding the little rabbit jade pendant in one hand and groping her chin in the other. Do you want to cultivate this person in front of her into her future husband?

Du Xia didn't dare to look at Gu Yuqi at all, and the faint fragrance of her body seemed to surround her at the tip of her nose, as if the spring breeze passed through his heart, causing ripples. He was afraid that as soon as he turned his head, he would fall into her beautiful eyes and couldn't extricate himself. But he also wanted to secretly look at her a few more times. This tangled state of mind made him bit his lip slightly.

One of the dark guard's training is to resist the temptation of beauty.

Du Xia has always completed this training very well, but now he has a feeling of being on pins and needles. The girl around him obviously didn't do anything to him, but just looked at him and smiled, he felt himself Her hair was about to stand up, and every muscle in her body was clamoring to get closer to her...

"By the way, these little rabbits were a couple back then." Gu Yuqi saw that he never looked at her, so she deliberately used words to provoke him. "Unfortunately, which one I forgot to bring when I left the mansion."

After she finished speaking, she looked at him, and sure enough, Du Xia's complexion turned pale, and her back stiffened.

"Are you disappointed?" Gu Yuqi gave him an elbow with an elbow, and then laughed, "I lied to you." She took off the purse hanging from her waist, and found one that was exactly the same as his. The little rabbit jade pendant came out and placed together. "Look at it."

Du Xia looked at Gu Yuqi's palm. In the center of her slender and delicate hand, there were two identical jade rabbits side by side. The jade color was moist and warm, but it was less than one ten thousandth of her skin.

Du Xia only glanced at it. Gu Yuqi's existence was really a big challenge for him, but he was very happy in his heart, and he was happier than ever before.

He wasn't annoyed that she lied to him, he just thought that as long as she was happy, it was better than anything. Of course, if the little rabbit was really lost, he would also be very lost.

"Okay. Keep yours." Gu Yuqi returned the little rabbit to Du Xia, and Du Xia hurriedly hung up the little rabbit, and then buttoned her own.

"I'll go see the water." Gu Yuqi got up, the water was bubbling with bubbles and white steam.

The girl's face became more hazy and elegant in the white steam, and Du Xia dared to look at her when Gu Yuqi left.

"Fill the water for you first, let it cool down." Gu Yuqi said to Du Xia, "I beat a few eggs to eat, I'm starving to death." With the remaining hot water, Gu Yuqi turned out a few eggs like a magic trick , then smashed the eggshell, beat the egg into the water, and she took some white and sprinkled it in.

"Oh, do you like sweets?" She remembered to ask Du Xia after she finished.

"En." Du Xia nodded. He didn't expect to be able to eat what Gu Yuqi made. As long as it was made by her, even if it was spicy, he would eat it. He added a handful of firewood to the stove and let it burn. Even more prosperous, the uncontrollable joy in my heart feels like my heart is about to fly.

"That's good. I thought men didn't like sweets." Yun Ke didn't like sweets, and Gu Yuqi continued to nag, ignoring Du Xia's reaction at all, "By the way, it's fine if you like sweets, When Daimei gets up, I'll ask her to set a fire and make a cake for you to eat, but you don't know, the cake I made is delicious. Take care of what you like." Gu Yuqi traveled once and was reborn once, and it was rare to feel that Du Xia didn't need to wear a mask anymore, so his words naturally increased.

In the Hou Mansion before, she wanted to look like a lady, first to comfort her mother, and second to show it to Gu Huaizhong and Liu Yue. When she went out, she had to pay attention to her words and deeds at all times, not to mention in front of Yun Ke. She had to be very careful when she said a word. Only in front of Du Xia, she didn't have to worry about anything.

Gu Yuqi's busy figure and nagging words were all carefully taken into his eyes and heart by Du Xia. He felt that he was so peaceful at this time. They really wanted to know each other for many years. The feeling of being familiar made Du Xia so moved that he wanted to cry, although he didn't know what moved and tears were for a long time.

It didn't take long for the two bowls of steaming boiled eggs to be fished out by Gu Yuqi and placed in two bowls respectively.

"Come." Gu Yuqi greeted Du Xia with a bowl.

When Du Xia took the bowl, his nose was slightly sour.

Since he can remember, no one has treated him so well. It's not that he hasn't eaten good food, he has seen good food, but nothing beats this bowl of steaming boiled eggs. Two snow-white eggs were half-floating in the translucent water, exuding a strong egg fragrance.

Taking a light bite, the boiled eggs were just right, neither old nor tender. The slippery egg whites, the orange-yellow yolks, and the slight sweetness all bit into Du Xia's heart, making him unbearable. Finished this bowl of eggs so quickly.

He ate very carefully and gracefully, but Gu Yuqi was starving to death, and all the contents of the bowl were suddenly put into her stomach.

"That's right. I have to go back and sleep for a while." After Gu Yuqi finished eating, she stood up and said to Du Xia, "Otherwise, if your snake-spirited prince calls up people, I won't have the energy to deal with him."

Du Xia's heart sank slightly, did she just leave like this? But he still raised his eyes and nodded obediently. Although he didn't understand what snake essence disease was, he intuitively criticized the words of their prince.

"Don't worry, I will remember to make a cake for you." Gu Yuqi walked to the door and looked back at Du Xia with a smile, and then quickly left.

It was almost dawn, it would be bad if others saw her and Du Xia alone in the kitchen, mainly because they were afraid that someone would spread it to Yun Ke's ears. So Gu Yuqi chose to leave quickly for a few seconds.

Du Xia opened his mouth, but before he could say goodbye, Gu Yuqi had already disappeared without a trace. He stayed for a while, looked at the empty bowl on the table with a loss, and let out a long sigh.

He got up and packed all the tableware and chopsticks, then put out the fire in the stove, and blew off the oil lamp on the table. Finally, he glanced at the kitchen and could not detect any abnormality, and then he turned and walked away.

The sky has turned out a light dark gray, which is a little brighter than the thick black at night. The rain seems to be a little smaller than the previous days, but it is still falling. Du Xia no longer had the mind to practice martial arts, and walked straight back to the resting place, and lay down on the bed with his clothes on. The other guards were still sleeping soundly. Not coming down.

Gu Yuqi slept in a daze, and slept until the evening before crawling up in a daze, rubbing her eyes and asking Rouge, who was doing needlework, "What time is it?"

"Miss." Seeing that Gu Yuqi was awake, Rouge came over happily and opened the hanging gauze for her, and brought clean clothes and water for washing, "It's already evening."

slept all day? Gu Yuqi was also startled, and got out of bed in a hurry, "That Prince An didn't look for me?" She asked Rouge while dressing.

"I found it, but Madam went to intercede with you, saying that you are too tired and need to rest. His Royal Highness An Wang ordered that if the young lady wakes up, hurry up and serve her." Rouge said while helping Gu Yuqi tidy up her dress.

"Oh. Then don't worry." Gu Yuqi nodded. "Where's Runying? Call her in."

"Yes." Rouge turned around and went out, and walked in with Runying after a while.

"I'll go and watch at the door." Rouge knew that Gu Yuqi was going to talk to Runying, and she withdrew wisely. Recently, the words of Gu Yuqi and Runying have always been very mysterious, so big-hearted Rouge naturally wouldn't go out and ask them what they were talking about. In her heart, Gu Yuqi is fine.

Runying knew why Gu Yuqi was looking for her, and just received a biography from the flying pigeons in the capital. Under the heavy rain, the pigeons were almost unable to find their way. It took a day longer than expected, and Runying thought that her own carrier pigeons had been beaten and roasted and eaten.

"The price of food in the capital has already skyrocketed." Runying waited for Gu Yuqi to wash and dress up, and said, "Our store has not released food for the time being according to the lady's instructions. A few days ago, our store also received a lot of food from other stores. Come back, I'm afraid that those shops that sold grain to us a few days ago have regretted their bowels."

"En. You told them to pay attention to safety." Gu Yuqi nodded, "In four days, we will start selling food, we don't need to sell the most expensive food, remember to follow my words, just sell it at four times the current price. It's gone." In a few days, when the plague begins, the city gates are closed, and the price of food will increase tenfold.

"Yes." Runying's eyes became brighter, "That little lady, let's just sell the food!"

"Yeah." Gu Yuqi looked at herself in the mirror, Runying's hand was very clever, and the braid was unusually snug in her hand. "However, we need to build a good reputation now, and there is no need to sell it so expensively with others. But in order not to cause unnecessary jealousy among our peers, we sell polished rice in our shop according to a certain quota, and other corn flour and soba noodles are not limited in amount. That's it." Chi Feng muttered blood.

Polished rice can only be eaten by the rich. Anyway, the nobles don’t care about the price difference, and they go to other stores to buy it. Gu Yuqi didn't have a lot of milled rice, so it was sold according to the quota, which was basically just enough to sell before the end of the plague. She buys a lot of cheap grains like cornmeal and sorghum rice. The price of rice is soaring, and ordinary people naturally eat this kind of food. Even the nobles in the capital will buy this kind of food in large quantities and use it for their servants at home. .

"Well, everything is up to the lady." Runying had long since fallen for Gu Yuqi's clothes. In her eyes, Gu Yuqi was a walking cash cow. "You remember that after the recipe for the treatment of the plague came out, just as I said, boil the herbs into concoctions and pack them in bamboo tubes to sell."

"Yes." Runying nodded.

The price of herbal medicines will be ridiculously high. Gu Yuqi boils the herbs and packs them into bamboo tubes, which can effectively reduce the cost. Besides, she also invited two pharmacists in the store earlier, and also told her to ensure the efficacy of the medicine. The concoction made from the herbal medicine can be used by several people, and if it is evenly distributed, the cost will be reduced, and the profit will be more. Besides, her concoction is relatively cheaper than the herbal medicine in other stores, so the fool will not buy Gu Yuqi. medicine.

Gu Yuqi's herbal medicine shop, I'm afraid it will become a hit, and the business will not be able to stop it in the future.

Not to mention Gu Yuqi, even Run Ying felt that the cute silver had small wings and fluttered towards her.

Gu Yuqi's money is useful. She has a big plan in her heart. She has to spend money everywhere. With this first pot of gold, she will dig the second and third pot of gold. She is already in front of Yun Ke. He has boasted about Haikou, and he will keep him from worrying about money in the future.

It is easy to speak, just touch the upper and lower lips, but at that time, you will have to take out real money.

Gu Yuqi had seen how Yun Ke was having a headache with money and food in the last life, and knew that it would be a huge gap, so she had to gather a huge amount of wealth within this period of time to meet Yun Ke's needs.

The goal is very ambitious, the road is very tortuous, and Gu Yuqi is very hard!

However, when she thought of her freedom and her mother's title of Madam Huguo, Gu Yuqi felt that she had been resurrected with full blood and buff.

In front of Gu Huaizhong, she sent Hongyuan, wanting to make her mother return to the capital with a hundred times more beauty than before, and slap his old face every minute, this is not for nothing! No matter what, she needs to do it.

And that Liu Yue, she thought that if she left, she would be able to become Mrs. Dingyuan Hou with peace of mind? She thinks of beauty. She hurt her mother in the past life. If she didn't protect her ruthlessly in this life, Liu Yue would also do it. If the two lives add up, she will not change her stubbornness. How could Gu Yuqi let her sit in peace and stability? On the throne of Madam Dingyuan Hou.

Not tossing her now does not mean that she will let Liu Yue go. Only by letting Liu Yue get it first, and then taking the glory from her body, will she feel the pain to the bones.

Just doing this would break the hearts of Gu Siyang and Gu Siyu, Gu Yuqi sighed slightly.

"By the way, that Liu Yue's cousin, haven't you checked it out yet?" Thinking of Liu Yue, Gu Yuqi remembered that cousin with a mysterious identity, and couldn't help but ask more.

"No." Runying shook her head when she heard the words, "According to the lady's instructions, someone has been sent to the border to ask, but she has never asked."

It's been four years, and there's no difference in his identity background. It seems that this person is very difficult. The more this is the case, the more Gu Yuqi feels that the cousin named Sun Peng is suspicious. It is impossible for a person to appear in vain without any origin.

"Is he really Liu Yue's cousin?" Gu Yuqi asked with a frown.

"We sent someone to find out that he and Aunt Liu met at the border." Runying said, "But Aunt Liu's origin is also very strange."

"Oh." Gu Yuqi nodded, it's good that she's here, but I'm afraid she's not here. "That's right. Let the people at the border continue to check, no matter how long it takes, they must find out."

"It's Miss." Runying nodded.

The medicine that Sun Peng quietly handed to Concubine Liu was intercepted by Gu Yuqi once. She asked someone to look at it. It was a medicine to soothe the nerves and help sleep. Nothing special was found, but Gu Yuqi still felt it was very strange.

Liu Yue has never had a problem with insomnia. Why did she use medicines to calm the nerves and help her sleep? It was because her mother was very worried in the Hou Mansion, and she often couldn't rest well.

Liu Yue sent the decoction twice, and Gu Yuqi also checked it. It was the medicine sent by Sun Peng, but Gu Yuqi could not find any special problems. However, for the sake of safety, Gu Yuqi asked Chun Xing to feed all the decoction and medicine. After seeing the dog, Gu Yuqi also observed the dog, besides sleeping, it was sleeping, but the dog couldn't speak, and it couldn't communicate when something went wrong. So Gu Yuqi still sent some things to Liu Yue's side, in return for delivering medicine to her, and at the same time, she also slapped sideways, Liu Yue really didn't dare to send medicine over, if she had a ghost in her heart, she would have made trouble with her temper. When she went to Gu Huaizhong, she died down, but instead made Gu Yuqi increasingly suspect that there was something tricky in it.

Gu Yuqi kept a copy of the herbal medicine for Chun Xing to take with her, so she might be able to find it later.
