Chapter 163 Gu Hongchao: Listening to the song, you have changed
The servant girl's voice sounded outside the door, "Your Highness, are you up now? Doctor Song asked when you are leaving?"

Qin Shuhuang asked the serving maid to come in.

After briefly washing up, Qin Shuhuang glanced at Xuan Cang who was standing there, and quickly went to the side yard to see Song Yuan.

Song Yuan took Qin Shuhuang's pulse and asked the maid to re-apply medicine to her wound before letting her go. Before leaving, he warned her to be careful when returning to the capital and asked her to bring more personal guards.

When Qin Shuhuang arrived at the entrance of the hot spring village, Xuan Cang had already prepared a carriage for Qin Shuhuang.

Qin Shuhuang walked to the carriage, Xuan Cang lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, please get in the carriage."

Qin Shuhuang lowered her head and saw Xuan Cang's big palm extending to support her. She did not use Xuan Cang's big palm to get on the carriage, but directly stepped on the wooden stool next to the carriage and entered the carriage, completely ignoring Xuan Cang. Cang stretched out his hand.

Luda and Zhai Jin, who came out to see each other off at the door, were confused.

Why does it feel like His Highness is angry with the commander?

The two of them were fine yesterday, but how come the commander was ignored by His Highness after one night?

Qin Shuhuang lowered the curtain of the carriage, and Luda quickly ran to Xuan Cang, "Commander, what's wrong with Your Highness?"

Xuan Cang glanced at Lu Da with a cold face, and Lu Da immediately shut up and didn't mention the matter, "Commander, you and Your Highness should be careful on the way."

Xuan Cang led his personal guards to escort the carriage Qin Shuhuang was riding in and left the hot spring village.

Lu Da and Zhai Jin watched the carriage go away, then turned around and returned to Hot Spring Village.

When Luda turned back, he suddenly saw a shadow flashing across the corner from the corner of his eye, but when he looked intently, there was nothing at the corner of the courtyard's outer wall.

He frowned, and asked Zhai Jin next to him in a low voice, "Do you think someone is watching us from the dark?"

Di Jin felt it, and shook his head, "No, Brother Lu, what's the matter?"

Lu Da's expression became serious, "That may be because I'm thinking too much, anyway, let's be careful."

Zhai Jin nodded.

At the corner of the courtyard wall of Wenquan Zhuangzi, there was a man in gray. Seeing Qin Shuhuang leaving in a carriage, he stayed there for a while, and took a chance to leave the vicinity of Wenquanzhuangzi quickly.

Gu Mansion.

The maid brought lunch and placed it on the table in the flower hall.

Then Fu Dong came in and invited Gu Hongchao and Bai Lingge to have a meal.

In the past few days, Gu Hongchao has been preparing to meet Yu Ming's grandfather, he did not go out, and Bai Lingge was also in the mansion.

In the past, this kind of day spent together all day was extremely rare, and both of them would cherish it. In addition, both of them were young, so it was inevitable that they would do more male and female things when they were together.

But recently they spend more time together, but Gu Hongchao is somewhat repulsed to be with Bai Lingge.

But wherever he went, Bai Lingge followed him, never leaving him for a moment. He wanted to tell Bai Lingge that he wanted to stay alone for a while, but when he looked at Bai Lingge's smiling face, he couldn't say no for a moment. exit.

Therefore, he could only endure it for the time being. If this continued, it would make Gu Hongchao's temper irritable and suspicious.

Hearing the voice of the servant girl inviting them to dinner in the room, Bai Lingge smiled slightly, "Hong Chao, let's go to dinner."

Gu Hongchao put down his pen, nodded lightly, and got up first to go outside.

Bai Lingge looked at Gu Hongchao leaving behind her back, frowned slightly, and thought, "Could it be that Hongchao is in a bad mood today?"

Gu Hongchao walked to the flower hall, his eyes fell on the dishes on the flower hall table, and he immediately lost his appetite.

There are only four simple dishes and one soup on the table, and none of them are his favorite.

The three sets of duck, pagoda meat, and Buddha jumping wall he ordered yesterday were all gone.

In the Gu Mansion before, he could eat all the dishes he ordered in advance, but now he couldn't even eat any dish he wanted.

Gu Hongchao sat down at the table, but did not reach out to use his chopsticks, his face was slightly grim.

Bai Lingge brought Fudong over, saw him like this, and flattered him: "Hong Chao, what's the matter? Don't you have an appetite?"

Gu Hongchao asked: "Why didn't the kitchen prepare the dishes I ordered yesterday?"

Bai Linge was taken aback for a moment, remembering what Gu Hongchao asked Chang Sui to pass on yesterday afternoon.

Thinking of the dishes that Gu Hongchao was about to eat, Bai Lingge's expression turned pale.

The pagoda meat is okay, as long as the cook is good at cooking, he can still cook it with a little effort.

But the three sets of ducks and Buddha Tiaoqiang, what Buddha Tiaoqiang wants to do authentically, just a high soup will consume a lot of chicken, duck and fish, and it must be accompanied by expensive ingredients such as high-quality abalone, sea cucumber and fish lips. The three sets of ducks need to use Youhu Only ducks and pigeons from Gaocheng can make good taste.

These ingredients alone cost a lot of money.

The Gu family can't afford it now!
You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, but when Bai Lingge actually took over the middle income from the Gu family, you realized that the Gu family was nothing but an empty shell!

No oil or water can be squeezed out!

No wonder Mrs. Gu let her take over the family so casually, probably with the intention of letting her use her private house to supplement the income.

The 1000 taels of silver given to Gu Yufei was obtained by her secretly selling the Gu family's property in Lincheng.

Of course, Mrs. Gu thought it was her private money, and she did not tell Gu Hongchao or Mrs. Gu about the sale of the land.

Bai Lingge wanted to wait for the wave of victims in the capital to subside, reopen the restaurant, earn 1000 taels of silver, and then buy back the land he sold.

According to the popularity of hot pot before, it only takes a few days.

Now she is just borrowing it.

Knowing the true wealth of the Gu family, Bai Lingge must save money in order to survive in the future.

The Gu family's servants had already been sent away a lot. After Bai Lingge took over, some more were sent away. Now, in addition to the old servants that the masters can't live without, there are only three or four people left in each yard to serve them. These people are also responsible for Sweeping and other rough work.

The guards who drew up the employment documents were even dismissed. At present, the security of the Gu residence is in charge of the security of Gu's mansion with a dozen or so servants.

Not only that, Bai Lingge also reduced the wages of the servants, and even the masters' budget for new clothes in autumn was deducted by Bai Lingge.

Although everyone in the Gu family did not dare to say anything openly, there were many people who complained about Bai Lingge's harshness behind his back. Many old servants had even gone to Mrs. Gu to cry and complain.

Of course Mrs. Gu's face was not good when she heard that, but Bai Linge had just given her 1000 taels of silver. At this time, she couldn't take back the power of the house that she had just given out, so she temporarily suppressed the dissatisfaction of the servants.

Bai Lingge kindly explained to Gu Hongchao, "Hongchao, the dishes you ordered are too troublesome and cost too much. I asked the kitchen not to cook them. Our family is in a tight situation now, so we should be simpler."

Gu Hongchao didn't expect Bai Lingge to say that.

At this moment, he seemed to feel that Bai Lingge had changed.

In the past, as long as it was what he wanted to eat, no matter how troublesome and expensive it was, Bai Lingge would do everything possible to get him to make him happy.

Not only that, Bai Lingge will also accompany him to eat and enjoy.

But now that Bai Lingge has just become the head of the family, it has become so difficult for him to have a satisfying meal.

At that time, Bai Lingge was very capable!

Because all the expenses of the Gu family were paid for by Qin Shuhuang's property and dowry, there was no need to spend a penny on Ling Ge.
