Chapter 479: Attack of Walnut
The waiter who served the food saved Gu Sanqiu's life. Before the other party came in, Hu Tao returned to her seat at the speed of light and started to build blocks with small desserts with a serious look on her face.
As if nothing happened.
Gu Sanqiu was no longer in the mood to think about the abyss. His mind was filled with the shocking words that Hu Tao had just said.
Find a companion for the old man?
Please don't drag me into this, thank you.
Gu Sanqiu reached out and gently wiped the area soaked by the tea, then looked at Hu Tao who was happily pouring the light-flavored shrimp dumplings into the boiled fish and eating it.
"During the time I was in Mondstadt, what did Brother Zhongli buy?"
"Tsk, he bought so many things, I can't even count them all."
Walnut said vaguely: "Things like a bird that flutters its wings when it sings, or a set of night-moored stones whose cracks can be pieced together to form a landscape painting. Anyway, they are all very expensive and useless!"
Well, it’s very old man style.
Gu Sanqiu's expression was subtle: "You are a wealthy woman. Even if these things are expensive, they can't make you so angry."
"You don't understand this."
Walnut waved his chopsticks gently: "It's like your child has done something wrong. If the parents don't control it, the child will have the possibility of making big mistakes in the future."
"It's the same with spending money. If you don't develop a calm and well-planned financial mind, you'll find you have no savings when you really need money. That's about it."
?
Have you actually elevated your position to the level of a parent?
The old man treats you as his daughter, but you actually want to be his mother!
Gu Sanqiu waved his hand and used the wind element to pick up the teapot to refill Hu Tao's tea. The spicy boiled fish was used as the soup base for the shrimp dumplings. This was indeed a very courageous combination.
As two completely independent dishes, the spicy flavor of the boiled fish is not integrated into the shrimp dumplings at all, and only thick layers of spicy oil are wrapped on the dumpling skin.
In short, the goal is to allow ordinary people to feel what it feels like to be burned by the fire element.
"It's rare, girl. I didn't expect you would be so thoughtful."
"Hello!"
Hu Tao grinned and scooped a thick spoonful of chili oil into Gu Sanqiu's teacup.
"If the people around me would just give me some peace of mind, I wouldn't have to worry about so many things like an old mother when I'm young."
"You are the same! During the time when the incident happened on the snowy mountain, even the aggressive evil spirits on Wuwang Slope were hiding away like grandchildren. You have the guts to join in the fun in a place like that. I must tell Sister Ningguang and let her deal with you!"
"Well, my sister knows that I'm going to Mond, and the two big bosses in Mond are very familiar with me. They won't really watch me get into trouble."
Although he was invited by Wendy, he essentially joined the chess game of the Demon God, so before leaving, he went to find Ningguang to report, otherwise he would have to kneel in the incense room and listen to the lecture when he returned.
Gu Sanqiu poured out the chili oil tea, and after the flame burned gently, the air in the private room was suddenly filled with a slightly pungent tea aroma.
"Don't worry, just do whatever you want. You don't have to worry about this and that like an old mother like you said. Just be yourself."
Gu Sanqiu smiled confidently: "With me in Liyue, the sky won't fall."
The premise is that some old monsters from the previous era, or even the previous era, don’t jump out. There are too many variables for those old monsters who have dug out the coffin and survived to the present.
Hu Tao looked disdainful and said, "So this is how you cheat on girls out there."
"Do you think I'm the love-brained person like Xingqiu? Don't go to Chunxiang Kiln to listen to Ying'er imparting worldly experience to you young girls! "
"Tsk, then you won't be able to be yourself anymore."
Hu Tao muttered, then her eyes lit up: "Sanqiu, Sanqiu, you just said that Liyue has you, right? Do you mean you promised to help me find a lady from a noble family for Zhongli?"
"Please allow me to refuse again."
Gu Sanqiu had a blank expression on his face: "How can such a big matter as marriage be decided by the two of us on our own? Even if you are Brother Zhongli's boss, you can't do that."
"If this continues, my Wangsheng Hall's funding chain will be in trouble sooner or later!"
"It's okay. I'm here. I have money. If it doesn't work, I can just sell some things from the warehouse. The Mora I get will be enough for Brother Zhongli to squander."
Gu Sanqiu had a calm expression. It was true that the old man was over six thousand years old, but he had not been wandering around the mortal world as Zhongli for long, and was gradually moving towards becoming a salty mortal.
Moreover, the unique and scarce things in the world do not come by wind. In short, they can be afforded.
The Gu family has accumulated a huge amount of wealth from generation to generation. Gu Sanqiu alone certainly cannot squander it all. Even if he has many wives and concubines in the future and they are all extravagant, they will be considered great if they can manage to get just a small amount of it.
He is just an old man who is particular about elegant things and daily life!
Gu Sanqiu was very ambitious, or maybe it was because he had been with a bunch of old antiques and living fossils for a long time recently, so he subconsciously felt that such a situation was not suitable for the old man.
Think about the kind of people who surrounded the old man back then. If converted into appearance fees, they would be enough to make an ordinary wealthy person go bankrupt.
Gu Sanqiu made a quick calculation of his family's assets and then smiled confidently.
It's just a tasteful thing!
Hu Tao looked at Gu Sanqiu with a suspicious look: "This hall master didn't even say that he wanted to support his own guest officials, but you seem to be particularly interested in this matter."
"Qiuqiu, I'm a beautiful woman sitting in front of you and you don't even bother to ask about my well-being. Instead, you're paying so much attention to a guest official. Don't you have some weird hobby?"
Kurumi was stunned for a moment, then revealed an expression that said "So that's how it is".
"It's okay, it's okay. I am well-informed and broad-minded. I will respect your preference. No wonder you are so reluctant to find a lady from a wealthy family to take care of Zhongli."
"Weren't you the one who brought up this topic first?"
Gu Sanqiu put the teacup back on the table with a gloomy face, because he felt that if he heard two more sentences, he might not be able to help but crush another teacup.
"Tsk, I brought up this topic because I wanted you to pay more attention to me and ask your childhood sweetheart if he is short of money and has to eat only vegetable leaves and cold steamed buns. Who knew that you would focus all your attention on Zhongli?"
Hu Tao ran over and touched Gu Sanqiu's head.
"Be good, be good~, don't be angry. Explanation is covering up. I will respect your idea. Do you need me to create some space for you and Zhongli to be alone? I have a few tasks to go out for the Rebirth Hall. I can let you two go~"
"When the time comes, Sanqiu, you can show off your masculine charm. Maybe your nagging qualities will also attract Zhongli."
"Plus, you can cover all of Zhongli 's expenses. If he is willing to do so, I don't know what he can't do. What a perfect match."
Gu Sanqiu looked at Hu Tao with murderous intent: "Since you took charge of the Wangsheng Hall and appeared frequently in public, I don't think I have taught you a lesson."
Hu Tao stuck out her tongue at Gu Sanqiu and said, "Lululu, you're going to use force just because you can't win the argument? You bad man, bad man, go with your brother Zhongli."
Snap——
Gu Sanqiu crushed another teacup.
