After admiring the flowers, we sat down at our table. There were no other guests.
The banquet was also exquisite and thoughtful, delicious and beautiful. The dishes decorated with flower petals exuded a faint floral fragrance, and the scented tea spread in the cup.
Shi Anxia took a look and burst out laughing, "Madam Gu, are you planning to open a restaurant to compete with my vegetarian restaurant?"
Madam Gu was well-informed and naturally knew that the vegetarian restaurant was opened by the princess and Madam Anguo. "No, no, my Chunchun is just for the sake of appearance. It can't be compared with the vegetarian restaurant."
Look at his emotional intelligence! It really makes people feel like spring breeze.
Madam Gu continued, "It's so hard to reserve a seat at the vegetarian restaurant. I've been there a few times and it's delicious, nourishing to the stomach, and also helps with pain. To be honest, Princess, I got rid of my old stomachache by eating at the vegetarian restaurant, and it has been gone for a long time."
Is it really that magical? Wei Cailing felt that Madam Gu was just being polite.
Madam Gu also realized that she seemed to be deliberately praising the vegetarian restaurant, so she shook her head and said, "It's true. Although I couldn't book a table at the vegetarian restaurant, it didn't stop me from taking the food home. Madam An Guo was there at the time..."
It turned out that Mrs. Anguo had a crush on her at first sight, and she took her pulse once and prescribed a dish. Yes, she didn't prescribe a medicine, but a dish from the vegetarian restaurant. After eating it for more than a month, she got significantly better.
After hearing her explanation, everyone understood and felt that Madam Gu was sincere and open-minded. Making friends with the powerful was not just flattery.
So the question is, what blindness did such a good lady like Gu have to choose Shi Chengxuan?
It can’t be that it’s just because he looks like a human, right?
After the banquet, Shi Yunqi and Cen Yuan went to play chess and drink tea with the children of the Gu family.
Madam Gu accompanied Shi Anxia and Wei Cailing as they sat in the house and chatted.
The content of the conversation was, of course: "Mrs. Gu, I heard that you are planning to marry my father?"
Shi Anxia did not beat around the bush, but chose to go straight to the point.
Speak plainly to people who understand; beating around the bush would make you seem hypocritical.
Madam Gu's ears were red, which was rare. After a moment, she returned to her normal expression, "I did have this plan. Perhaps I am marrying above my station..."
Shi Anxia smiled sincerely, "Madam Gu misunderstood what I meant. My father... Well, I can't say bad things about him in front of you. I just want to ask, does Madam Gu know my father?"
Madam Gu understood the princess's implication and hesitated for a moment before lowering her eyes and saying, "To be honest with you, Princess, I have been a widow for more than ten years and have never thought of remarrying. When I was in Ganzhou, I encountered an injustice and you helped me. I am grateful..."
At this point, she changed the subject and said, "Scholars, farmers, merchants, and artisans, merchants are at the bottom. Although the Gu family is rich, they often suffer injustice. I don't want my children to live at the bottom of the list all their lives, so I want to change their fate... Of course, Lord Shi is a handsome man, and I am also pleased with him."
Shi Anxia almost covered her face. It was the first time she heard someone say that her stupid father was a handsome man. How big of a misunderstanding was this of the word "handsome"?
Madam Gu looked at the princess's indescribable expression and felt a little uneasy, "What if the princess disagrees? If Master Shi's family is unwilling, I will not force it."
Shi Anxia knew that the other party had misunderstood, "That's not the case. My father is still in mourning, so the matter of marriage should not be publicized. As for my father's character... I think Madam Gu should still investigate from many aspects, after all, this is a major event in life."
To someone like Madam Gu, Shi Anxia was willing to say a few more words, "As for what you said about changing my fate, I have other ways, it doesn't necessarily have to be achieved by getting married. After all... you may not know that my father is no longer considered 'Mr. Shi'. He has been dismissed from office in the court and has no title. Oh, there is one more thing..."
He is poor!
