After I traveled through the book, I spoiled the anorexic prince
Chapter 173 Should I arrange a marriage first?
The teacher who was singing the ritual rubbed his eyes hard, and when he opened his eyes again, the words in front of him were still the same. He walked towards Gu Qinghe in a panic.
Everyone heard him hesitating, "Girl, this, this..."
What is this? Please explain it clearly!
The people who were particularly curious shouted in their hearts.
The teacher who was singing the ritual was simply at a loss for words, as this was not the name of Prince Yong'an, Wei Yongzhen, at all!
But he didn't dare to say the man's name.
Gu Qinghe looked in the direction he was pointing, and understood what he meant.
At the bottom of the long gift list were written in large letters: "A gift presented to King Wei of Huainan during his banquet."
Wei Lin saw that the master's face looked strange, so he stepped forward to take a look. When he saw these words, he immediately understood the purpose of his master's mysterious request for him to get the gift list that day.
It turns out that he has revealed his identity and no longer wants to act under the identity of Prince of Yong'an.
At least that's what happened in front of Miss Gu.
He thought of her in everything. Knowing that his name was scary and his reputation was too bad, he simply called himself the Prince of Yong'an to the outside world, but only showed his true heart to one person in private.
Gu Qinghe suddenly understood the boy's little thoughts. She smiled helplessly, and a little joy unconsciously emerged in her heart. Perhaps it was because the filter of leaving blank space was too deep, she inexplicably felt that this man was a little cute.
After laughing for a while, she bowed to the teacher who was singing the ceremony and whispered, "This may be a prank by the prince. Teacher, please don't be scared."
She blinked her eyes slightly. No matter how scared the master was, he knew that this was not something that could be told to others.
He forced himself to cheer up, suppressing his fear of the man, and smiled at the guests who were still watching: "Your Majesty's handwriting is vigorous, bold yet restrained. I was really shocked, so I made a fuss."
Upon hearing this, the people in the restaurant stopped wanting to join in the fun and just sat back waiting for the free meal at noon.
This is what Gu Qinghe thought of.
Let them try a free meal first.
Some are there to join in the fun, some are curious, some are looking for a bargain, and some are from the same village to show their support...
There were countless of him on the first day of business at the Rice Ball Restaurant.
The time for hanging up lights and decorations and beating gongs and drums was set at Si hour, and the cooks in the kitchen had already started preparing at Chen hour.
Looking from outside the restaurant, it was bustling with people. There were fifteen tables on the first floor, all occupied. The second floor was occupied by guests with certain status and connections, such as Yu Jin, Jing Se, and Aunt He.
At noon, the meal was served.
Mapo tofu, chopped pepper fish head, braised pork with fermented black beans, stir-fried pork with green pepper, crucian carp and tofu soup, glutinous rice dumplings, braised winter bamboo shoots, stir-fried Chinese cabbage...
Ten dishes that were modern, homely yet fresh were served to the table by Gu Qinghe one by one, and they were delicious and fragrant.
The people who came to join in the fun, thinking that it would be a waste if they didn't eat it for free, all opened their eyes wide, picked up their chopsticks and put a piece of meat into their mouths. The aroma of the meat combined with the flavor of the sauce was so delicious that they wanted to swallow their tongues.
They unconsciously moved their food faster, fearing that any delicious food they hadn't tasted by the end would be eaten up by a group of inexperienced people around them.
Gu Qinghe was originally helping out in the kitchen in the backyard and giving orders. When he heard Xiaoqi, who was acting as a waiter in front, describing the fierce scene of scrambling for food in the restaurant, he couldn't help but follow out to take a look.
There are fifteen tables, with six or seven people at each table. According to Jingse, if you let them eat for free like this, you will definitely lose everything.
Now seeing that they all had expressions of enjoying the food and wanting to eat again next time, Gu Qinghe wanted to go upstairs and pull him down to show him what it meant to be at a disadvantage.
It's clear that he's going to make a lot of money.
As soon as she looked upstairs, she saw the man wearing a bright blue dress standing high on the second floor, raising his eyebrows and smiling at her across the railing escalator.
Gu Qinghe immediately hummed and said to him silently: Is it still a loss?
Jingse smiled and shook his head, imitating her and said: You are still the best!
Gu Qinghe hummed a tuneless tune with satisfaction as he returned to the kitchen. Only Aunt He and her sister-in-law were left by the stove, busy preparing the snacks that would be served on the table soon.
Aunt Gu was helping out on the side.
Aunt He's sister-in-law is thin and dull, but she is efficient and capable in doing things.
Originally, Gu Qinghe assigned her the job of welcoming guests and reading the menu to the kitchen, but after actually meeting people, she found that the easy job she thought was not suitable for her. On the contrary, she was much more suitable for the kitchen.
So, after the six cooks, three men and three women, there was another thin girl in the kitchen.
The firewood was burning with a crackling sound, and the kitchen was filled with white mist and steam. In the busy and disorganized atmosphere, Gu Qinghe heard Aunt He say to Aunt Gu with a smile, "Qinghe in your family has changed a lot."
She looked up at Aunt Gu, waiting for her answer. Aunt Gu turned around, and when their eyes met, she saw a smile in her eyes. She said gently, "This is good. I like it, and the kids at home like it too."
Aunt He didn't notice Gu Qinghe coming in. She leaned over and whispered in Aunt Gu's ear, "Did you choose husbands for those two distant nephews of yours?"
In this dynasty, it was common for a sister to marry her cousin. Some officials and wealthy families would even allow two sisters to marry their husbands for the sake of nepotism among in-laws.
Aunt Gu was frightened when she thought of the true identities of the "two distant nephews". One was her real brother, and the other was the real prince. She couldn't tell anyone yet. She shook her head and said hurriedly, "Qinghe has her own ideas about marriage. I'll just help her with the decision and won't interfere with her."
Aunt He looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. Seeing this, Aunt Gu asked her what was wrong.
Aunt He looked around, and when Gu Qinghe saw her, he deliberately stepped out.
These days, people in the village see that she has made money and has important people at home, so they are cautious about what they say. Either they praise her or they flatter her. Only this aunt, who has been hoping for the best for the Gu family from the beginning, will tell the truth.
But she didn't intend to put pressure on her.
She also wanted to hear the truth behind the smile.
She leaned gently against the wall and saw a thin woman walking out. The woman's eyes widened when she saw her, and she was about to scream. Gu Qinghe quickly pulled her over and made a "hush" gesture with his finger to his lips.
The woman nodded blankly.
Before the two of them could say anything more, they heard Aunt He inside say, "These days, some people from several neighboring villages, including our village, have seen that your family has renovated the house and have been thinking about marrying Qinghe."
Those people had also inquired about the Gu family in advance and knew that Aunt Liu had bad intentions in the past, so they did not invite a matchmaker to the Gu family directly, but started with the He family and the Wang family who were on good terms with the Gu family.
"I think most of them are here because your family has made money. Of course, some of them are from wealthy families who are attracted by the abilities of Qinghe's housekeeper."
After Aunt He finished speaking, she told Aunt Gu about her concerns: "Your daughter Qinghe will be sixteen after this year, so she can be considered a seventeen-year-old girl. Why don't you arrange a marriage for her first to prevent some people from getting jealous and doing bad things?"
