Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Chapter 201 New Year’s Eve Dinner

Looking at Ye Wulu's red hands lying outside due to the cold, Gu Qingyuan said, "Leave it there for now. It won't be too late to sort it out later."

"It's okay, it will be sorted out in a little while."

Gu Qingyuan pulled him inside. Although the sun was out, it was still very cold. It became much warmer inside.

"How's it going here?"

Ye Wu had a genuine smile on his face. "I'm very happy, and I also thank my wife for trusting my ability and letting me work in Tianji Pavilion."

He always wanted to prove that his abilities were no worse than those of women. When he was in Tianji Pavilion, he rushed to do everything and once he was almost hit on the head.

However, he didn't intend to tell Gu Qingyuan about this. If she knew that he almost got hit on the head while moving something, she might not let him stay in Tianji Pavilion.

Zhaomei and Panmei came in from outside like butterflies, surrounding Gu Qingyuan on the left and right.

"Young Master Sister!"

Now the two men were almost up to her shoulders. Gu Qingyuan reached out and touched their heads. Even though their hair was messed up, both of them had happy smiles on their faces.

"You came just in time, saving me from having to go look for you guys."

Zhaomei and Panmei heard Gu Qingyuan say this and asked curiously, "What does the young master want to talk to us about?"

"Can you help me find someone?"

"Who?"

"Master Jinghong."

"Master Jinghong?" the two asked in surprise.

"Yes, when I went there this morning, someone came to Tianji Pavilion and bought a painting by Master Jinghong."

Ye Wu had also heard of the name of Master Jinghong. He asked Gu Qingyuan, "Why did my wife ask them to investigate Master Jinghong? Does she want to take that person into the Tianji Pavilion as well?"

"As expected of you, it's said that a single painting by Master Jinghong is worth a thousand taels of silver. If we can get Master Jinghong to work for Tianji Pavilion, I think it will help to further enhance the reputation of our Tianji Pavilion."

"But we don't know anything about this Master Jinghong, so how can we investigate?"

"I know." Gu Qingyuan said with some pride.

Although everyone calls Master Jinghong "Master", he is not an old man, and painting is just a side job for him.

She drew Master Jinghong's features on the paper and said, "That person likes to wear black clothes with cranes embroidered on them. He likes to drink a lot and should appear in the capital soon."

Gu Qingyuan described what he knew one by one and asked Zhaomei and Panmei to find Master Jinghong based on this feature.

Ah Wang knocked on the door, and Gu Qingyuan said lazily, "Come in."

At this time, he came in with some freshly cooked sweet potatoes and said, "I cooked some sweet potatoes. Would you like to try some?"

Just after Gu Qingyuan called Ye Wu away, A Wang went to the kitchen to cook. Usually he would take the initiative to clean the Tianji Pavilion, and he was very diligent.

"Leave it there."

Gu Qingyuan pointed at the table.

Sweet potatoes have a pleasant sweet aroma, and a bite of them in the middle of winter is unforgettable.

But you can't eat too much of this thing, or embarrassing things will happen.

After putting it down, Ah Wang walked out.

Zhaomei and Panmei happily went over and picked up the sweet potatoes, giving one piece to Gu Qingyuan and Ye Wu first before they started eating.

Their hands were burned and turned red, but they didn't care and put the food into their mouths without even peeling the skin.

Gu Qingyuan tasted a piece. It was a sweet potato with a red core. It was soft inside and felt sweet and sticky when he bit it.

In the afternoon, Gu Qingyuan returned and saw a man with a pale face from being frozen at the intersection.

The man pulled her trouser leg and said weakly, "Please be kind and give me something to eat."

He was a beggar with messy hair and his face could not be seen clearly.

After thinking about it, Gu Qingyuan went to buy him some buns and asked the boss to serve him a bowl of soup.

The man devoured the food and kept saying, "Thank you."

When he was eating, he pushed his hair aside. Seeing his face, Gu Qingyuan's pupils shrank and she asked tentatively, "What's your name?"

"Wang Qiu."

Looking forward to autumn?

If I remember correctly, he seems to be the biological father of the princess's daughter.

Gu Qingyuan thought that His Majesty would kill him, but he didn't expect that he was still alive and in such a miserable state.

After the meal, Wang Qiu looked at Gu Qingyuan gratefully and kept saying, "Thank you, thank you. I haven't had a full meal for a long time."

Gu Qingyuan smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

She still remembered the quarrel between the princess and the queen because of Wangqiu. Wangqiu was very important to the princess.

And that little princess must miss her biological father too.

She said to Wang Qiu, "You're out here alone. Have you been begging in the capital all this time?"

"I was in Jiangzhou before, and then I came to the capital."

The princess sent people to look for Wangqiu, but all efforts were in vain because the queen had sent Wangqiu to a place where she could not find him.

Later, the princess obeyed the empress's orders and married a husband. The empress then threw Wangqiu to Jiangzhou, but she didn't expect that he would go to the capital again.

Gu Qingyuan brought him back to Tianji Pavilion. You Yu was puzzled when he saw a dirty man following Gu Qingyuan in.

Gu Qingyuan explained: "It will come in handy in the future."

She gave Wangqiu a place to live and had someone watch him, not allowing him to take a single step out.

Wang Qiu seems to be mentally unstable now, but that's understandable. After all, he is alone and has no one to rely on. He came all the way from Jiangzhou and has nothing to eat in winter. The clothes he wears are all tattered.

The New Year is approaching.

Gu Qingyuan planned to take them back to the general's mansion to celebrate the New Year, where the whole family would gather together in a lively atmosphere.

Ji Mingzhao's belly became bigger, like a balloon that would burst if poked.

Gu Qingyuan assigned a few servants to watch over him, fearing that something might happen to his stomach.

This is her first child and she is already looking forward to it.

Someone had bought firecrackers and spring couplets in advance, and the entire Gu family and the general's mansion were bustling with activity.

On New Year’s Eve, the whole family sits together to eat the New Year’s Eve dinner.

Since Ji Mingzhao was not feeling well, Gu Qingyuan personally picked up food for him.

However, at this moment, Wen Shubai felt his stomach churning.

He stood up apologetically: "I want to go out for a while."

As soon as he stood up, he couldn't help covering his mouth with his hands, and the nausea came again.

Yu Shui supported him and asked with concern: "Master, you didn't eat anything at noon, why are you feeling uncomfortable?"

General Gu seemed to understand something and quickly said, "Xia Zhi, hurry up and get the doctor."

Wen Shubai waved his hands and said, "I'm fine... Ugh..."

I clearly wanted to vomit, but nothing came out.

He still felt a little dizzy, and if it weren't for the support of the rain, he would have fallen down.

Yu Shui brought him a stool and helped him breathe. "Master, hold on a little longer. The doctor will be here soon."
