Feng Heming

Chapter 227 Heartache
Guiyue did not doubt that he was there, and said without any scheming: "These days, the third lady is always in the study, and there are many scriptures on her desk, as if she suddenly became a person, holding the scriptures all the time. Read the excerpts from righteous study."

The man's heart skipped a beat. They had guessed that Gu Yidan was responsible for the imperial examination proposed by King Weisheng. After hearing Guiyue's words, could it be that Gu Yidan also controlled the content of the imperial examination?
The man's lips twitched slightly, he wanted to ask Guiyue what scriptures Gu Yidan copied, but Guiyue couldn't read.

"It's getting late, in order to avoid her finding out, you have to go back as soon as possible." The man touched Guiyue's face reluctantly, opened the door himself, took the Yipinfang pastry bought by the outsider, and handed it to Guiyue. Yue, "Go back. When I find a day, I will go to the Gu Mansion to redeem your body and marry you gracefully."

There was an outsider, Guiyue lowered her head shyly, and responded with a voice like a mosquito: "Okay, I'll wait for you."

After Guiyue left, the man looked at the secret recipe in his hand, and sneered, "Miss Gu San's eyes are really not good, the people who have bothered to save her will sell her out for the sake of glory and wealth, I guess I will cry when I look back, Ha ha"

The man returned to the Prince's Mansion, and said with a smug smile, "Your Highness, it's a good luck that this subordinate is not disgraceful."

At the same time, he handed over the secret recipe in his hand, and stood quietly, waiting for Chen Xuan's instructions.

Chen Xuan slightly flipped through the secret recipes in his hands, and said with admiration in his eyes: "Goodness! Great kindness! Thank you for your hard work. I will take another copy of these secret recipes and send them to the princess. This one is for those Rouge who were severely suppressed by Heng Yuanxiang. Shop, see if they are interested in buying these prescriptions at a high price."

The man responded loudly, "No."

Two or three days later, when Chen Xuan was very satisfied with the gold and silver that went into his pocket, Gu Yidan was also discussing the final draft with a young man.

"Lu Langjun, here are some papers, please do it."

This is a pavilion with ventilation on all sides. Gu Yidan followed Guiyue, and after handing the paper in his hand to the man, he took Guiyue for a walk nearby.

This man has a firm face, the lines of his face are cold and hard, the two thick eyebrows are straight and straight, revealing his majesty, and the big hand holding the paper has thick calluses. He looks down at the paper with no emotion on his face.

Gu Yidan was walking, observing him without any trace, feeling more and more satisfied in his heart, this is one of the poor families she recruited, his name is Lu Heyu, the knowledge is the best among all the poor families, he is taciturn, but he has a kind of A feeling of peace of mind.

Even Meng Guangmao, who has cast her under her door, cannot match the status of Lu Heyu in her heart.

This person has already been regarded by her as a candidate for the future Taifu. The exam questions she prepared are for women's imperial examinations. Lu Heyu is a tight-lipped person. Let him do it first to see if the paper is difficult.

Gu Yidan has been bored in the study for several days, and it is rare for her to be relaxed and cheerful, and she is more energetic than Guiyue when she walks, and Guiyue follows behind her sullenly, a little absent-minded.

"Guiyue, do you have something on your mind?"

Gu Yidan's sudden question made Guiyue's face turn pale slightly, and she stammered back: "No."

Gu Yidan frowned, "Are you still feeling unwell? Why do you look pale?"

Guiyue touched her face and twitched the corners of her mouth, "Maybe it's because I didn't sleep well last night, and I don't have enough energy."

Gu Yidan shook his head, "You don't have to wait on me in the afternoon, you can go back to your room and have a rest."

Guiyue lowered her head and said yes.

Gu Yidan's gaze paused, watching the butler lift up his robe, and a cloud of dust rose up behind him, heading straight for her.

The housekeeper couldn't catch his breath, and said out of breath: "Third lady, the old lady told you to go there quickly. There are many rouge shops outside that have rouge soap and toilet water with the same effect as our Heng Yuanxiang. Let's discuss what to do."

Gu Yidan frowned, forming a wrinkle, with a serious look on his face, he moved towards Patriarch Gu's study.

Guiyue's complexion turned paler, her hands trembled slightly, and she couldn't keep up with Gu Yidan's footsteps several times, and she staggered a little.

"Grandfather, what happened?" Gu Yidan hurriedly asked after entering the door without paying attention to salute.

On the table in front of the Gu family, there was a neat row of rouge gouache, one was sold in Hengyuanxiang's shop, and the other was sold in other rouge shops outside.

"Sanniang, come and see if these rouge powders are the same as our Hengyuanxiang shop?" Patriarch Gu pointed to the rouge powder outside with a gloomy expression.

Gu Sanniang picked up a box of rouge, first lowered her head and sniffed it, then rubbed a little on her fingertips with her hands. After she checked all the rouge and gouache on the desk, her eyebrows were still not loosened.

"These rouge powders are not as fragrant as ours, but they have the same medicinal fragrance as ours. The powder is not delicate enough, but the color is exactly the same. Even the box containing the rouge powder looks similar to our Hengyuanxiang's."

In the end, she concluded, "These rouge powders are not exactly the same as Heng Yuanxiang's."

However, Patriarch Gu sneered, "So what, even you said it yourself, the medicine smells the same, the color is the same, and the box is similar, and what they sell in their shop is also the same as our Heng Yuanxiang, if that's the case, that's fine, the key It's the rouge gouache they sell, and the price is [-]% of ours!"

Master Gu stretched out three fingers and emphasized again, "Only [-]% of ours, do you know how much profit Heng Yuanxiang lost in a day? At least the hardware is missing! That's hardware!"

The head of the Gu family is so heartbroken that he can hardly breathe. Heng Yuanxiang has now become one of the great benefits of the Gu family. Seeing that Heng Yuanxiang has lost more than half of his benefits in one day, how can he bear it?

Gu Yidan's complexion also changed, she closed her eyes in pain, and called out, "Guiyue, come in."

Guiyue walked in slowly, Gu Yidan sneered, "The same rouge gouache as Heng Yuanxiang appeared outside, who did you steal my secret recipe for? Or did you take the secret recipe and sell it outside? "

The rouge and gouache outside are exactly the same except that they are not mixed with her spiritual spring water. They must be made according to her secret recipe, and those who can get access to the secret recipe have nothing but Guiyue.

No wonder Guiyue is not feeling right these days, she should be here.

Patriarch Gu's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he looked at Guiyue coldly, as if looking at a dead person. Under the gaze of the two, Guiyue trembled, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and knelt down with a plop, tears streaming down her face Luo Luo, "I'm sorry, San Niangzi, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it"

Seeing that Guiyue admitted without being frightened, Gu Yidan's face suddenly turned livid, and his eyes were full of disbelief, and he couldn't help but took two steps back.

Compared with the appearance of the same rouge and gouache as Heng Yuanxiang outside, what hurts her more is that the person she saved betrayed her with his own hands.
