Guo Dan, a "outsider", naturally could not understand Kou Shouxin's excitement.

What the ancient merchants lacked the most was status and reputation. Many merchants were willing to pay a huge price to marry ministers or eunuchs in the court. Many merchants were willing to fly to the fire because of this matter. Because of this, they were willing to fly to the fire. Because these three were complementary. No matter how rich a businessman was, if he had no status or reputation in society, he would feel very insecure. If they made money, it would seem that they were not their own.

This is also why the ancients were more willing to gain status and reputation, and in the end it was money. Only by having status and reputation could they protect their own property well.

Now that his son-in-law has been summoned by the emperor himself, in Kou Shouxin's opinion, it is definitely a smoke from the ancestral grave.

He almost fainted from crying and shouted that he wanted to hold a wedding banquet, hoping to invite the merchants in the entire Mashi Street. Fortunately, the calm Kou Weisha dissuaded him. Now that the matter has not been mentioned, it will cause trouble if it fails. If it is not done, it will cause trouble. If it is to celebrate, it will have to wait for the enthronement ceremony to celebrate.

However, Kou Shouxin's excitement also made Guo Dan even more confident. Now he really feels that the word "emperor" would be a waste of resources if he didn't sell it for money. Look at the leader of people who are very good and cheap, that is, the one who sells it after taking office and the one who sells it next, inside and outside, before and after, it is sold completely, and naturally it is a lot of money to make.

Kou Shouxin could only pull Guo Dan to drink and chat, and the chat was so excited that Kou Shouxin was not helped back to the house in the middle of the night.

Guo Dan returned to the yard and did not go to bed to rest immediately. He just took a shower, then wrapped himself in a coat, lay in the yard, staring at the bright moon and stars in the sky in a daze.

A slight footsteps interrupted Guo Dan's thoughts. He glanced at him in the aftermath and saw Kou Weisha coming out of the room and handing her a cup of hot tea.

"Why aren't you sleeping?"

Guo Dan took the teacup and said, "I began to feel uncomfortable sleeping alone."

“……”

Kou Weisha rolled her eyes and wanted to turn around and go back to the room. However, this time, Guo Dan was surprised to stop her.

After two steps, Kou Weisha glanced back secretly and saw Guo Dan lying on the chair, but holding the cup of hot tea in both hands.

After standing for a while, she walked over again, sat silently on the chair next to her, and looked up slightly at the night sky illuminated by the stars.

The couple sat quietly and watched.

After a long time, Guo Dan suddenly withdrew his gaze, took a sip of the cold tea, and suddenly asked, "Can't you sleep?"

Kou Weisha subconsciously said: "Sleep alone..."

Having said that, she subconsciously pursed her lips, looking extremely embarrassed.

"Ha ha!"

Guo Dan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Kou Weisha suddenly felt dizzy on her cheeks and said softly: "It's all your fault."

"Blame me, blame me." Guo Dan smiled and shook his head. After a moment, he suddenly asked, "Do you regret it?"

Kou Weisha was slightly stunned and said, "What do you regret?"

Guo Dan said: "I regret tearing off my mask."

Kou Weisha frowned slightly and was a little silent before asking, "Why do you ask like this, husband?"

Guo Dan smiled bitterly and said, "If it weren't for this, today's events might not have happened, and the wife wouldn't have been unable to sleep because of this."

Kou Weisha held the fragrant cheek with one hand and asked again, "How do you know I can't sleep because of this?"

Guo smiled lightly but said nothing.

Kou Weisha sighed with a slight sigh: "This is indeed a bit sudden, and I don't know..."

She wanted to say that she didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, because she had never thought that such a thing would happen to the Kou family, but she didn't dare to say that being summoned by the emperor might be a bad thing, although it was the case.

As she said that, she looked at Guo Dan again and asked, "How does your husband view this matter?"

Guo Dan was silent for a while, suddenly sighed and shook his head and said, "Actually, I don't know. From my nature, this matter made me feel a little excited, but... but my wish is not like this..."

He suddenly turned his head and looked at Kou Weisha, and smiled and said, "Finally, as you wish, my dream has been shattered. I'm afraid it's very difficult to ask you to support me again. Alas... in the end, I have to support you."

Kou Weisha glanced slightly and snorted: "I don't want you to raise it."

She looked at Guo Dan again, and saw a hint of sadness between his eyebrows, as if he had lost something, and felt inexplicably guilty in her heart. Perhaps... Maybe I really didn't think about it carefully at the beginning.

Guo Dan drank the tea in the cup in one sip and sang softly: "Yesterday was like the flowing water, and I can't stay away from me. Today I am insulting my heart, so I have so much trouble..."

Kou Weisha just sat quietly aside without disturbing him anymore.

Indeed, it was impossible for her to come back yesterday, as if she felt that she had completely lost her teeth now, because the upcoming stage would be beyond her reach.

However, this stage is very suitable for Guo Dan, which also made Guo Dan's long-silent fighting spirit begin to get ready, but this is not what Guo Dan wants...

He actually likes himself more now, because he can see things other than money, rather than just seeing money.

So at this moment, he was very conflicted inside.

The next day.

When Guo Dan came back from running, four middle-aged men were seen standing in the front yard.

Xier trotted forward, blushing and gasping for breath, "Son-in-law, you are back. They said they came here to help the son-in-law make clothes by Xing'an Bo."

"So early?"

Guo Dan glanced at them, gave an apologetic smile, and said, "I didn't expect you to come so early. Please give me a moment later, I'll take a shower first."

As he said that, he ordered Xier to take them to the lobby for a while.

Back at the courtyard, Kou Weisha stood inside the door and looked at him curiously, "Are you?"

Guo Dan casually said: "I just think the clothes I used to look more like those worn by a loser, but now I am obviously not a loser. Alas... if nothing else, I'll go take a shower first."

Kou Weisha nodded slightly. After a moment, she looked back and felt that Guo Dan was a little different today, but he couldn't say what the specific difference was.

Half an hour later.

I saw Guo Dan standing in the yard, raising his hands, and several tailors were holding rulers and measuring up and down on their bodies.

They were measuring and communicating.

As we chatted, the tailors' expressions became respectful, rather than being as casual as they were just now.

"What are the son-in-law doing?"

Kou Shouxin stood in front of the door, looked at Guo Dan inside, and asked Kou Weisha.

Kou Weisha said: "These tailors were sent by Xing'anbo to make clothes for his husband."

"Yeah?"

Kou Shouxin looked happy and said, "It must be because the son-in-law is going to help the current emperor prepare for the enthronement ceremony."

Kou Weisha nodded slightly, but thought to herself, is it really that simple?

After the measurements, the tailors did not rush to leave because they met the most picky customers in their lives.

I saw Guo Dan holding a drawing that had just been drawn and said to the tailors: "Look, I need to be more slim so that I can look more energetic... Also, I hope there are some embroidery patterns here. You can do it according to the specific design. As for the materials, I also need to use the best ones. Oh, money is not a problem."

One of the tailors said: "Little official, you said you want to slim yourself, we can help you do it, but for embroidery, you are the son-in-law of a merchant. According to our dynasty system, merchants' clothes are clothing that cannot be embroidered, and there are restrictions on color."

Guo Tan smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind reminder, but that's what I want."

The tailor was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then we will do what the little official said."

"Thank you."

Guo Dan said again: "Oh, please help me as soon as possible, because I don't even have a piece of clothing that can meet people now."

This made the Kou family father and daughter at the door look embarrassed.

Therefore, after the tailors left, Kou Shouxin said with a guilty look on his face: "Son-in-law, I am really ashamed of you. I have never thought of making some good clothes for you."

Guo Dan hurriedly said, "Don't say that, sir, father-in-law. In fact, even if you want to help your son-in-law before, the son-in-law wouldn't agree."

“Why?”

Kou Shouxin said curiously.

Guo Dan suddenly looked at Kou Weisha on the side.

Kou Weisha said lightly: "This has nothing to do with me."

"Of course it's related, because I have a deep affection for you, Madam. Madam has always been a simple dress. She naturally has to be followed by a wife for her husband. Now, it's also for her husband. Because of her husband... Alas... I'm going to go out to meet people. Naturally, I can't let my wife down. I want to be handsome for her husband."

"A son-in-law!"

Kou Shouxin was so moved that his eyes were red. He couldn't help but hold Guo Dan's hand, "What kind of virtue is the little girl? I deserve this to be a good son-in-law."

There is no doubt that Guo Dan is the most affectionate man he has ever met, and I am very glad that he chose Guo Dan as his son-in-law.

"Of course it's because the wife is beautiful." Guo Dan answered truthfully.

Kou Weisha's face turned red and she immediately rolled her eyes.

Kou Shouxin laughed and said, "If you want to talk about the little girl's appearance, that's true...hehe..."

Speaking of the latter, he couldn't help laughing proudly.

Guo Danrao asked with interest: "My father-in-law, madam must be like a mother-in-law."
