In the not-so-spacious room, Mu Qinghuan was playing with the hairpin in his hand with great interest, feeling a sense of accomplishment.
Gu Sinian deliberately said:
"You have to remember, I set this up as a gift to you, not you set it up yourself."
"Hey, why are you like this?"
Mu Qinghuan said with a straight face:
"Do you think you can get it all on your own?
How could you have won so much without me cheering you on?
Let me tell you, I lent you my luck~"
"Okay, okay, you're in luck."
Gu Sinian crossed his legs:
“I’ve made forty or fifty traps in three days, what’s the trap?
I have ruined my life so much for nothing. "
"Lowry, it's just a little money, isn't it?"
Mu Qinghuan waved his hand with great pride:
"Whenever you go to Langzhou, I'll invite you to play with as many sets as you want!"
"Tch, I don't care about playing this."
As long as these two people get together, they seem to feel uncomfortable without saying something to each other.
"Brother Nian! Brother Nian!"
"Where are the people!"
At this moment, a shouting sound came into Gu Sinian's ears, and he knew that Mr. Jiang was coming without even looking.
No, he is now Gu Sinian's younger brother.
"It turns out to be here~"
Jiang Yufeng walked into the room and glanced at Gu Sinian. He saw Mu Qinghuan disguised as a man and said curiously:
"Hey, isn't it Xiao Liuzi who has been looking after you here? Why did you change the person today?"
Jiang Yufeng regards Mu Qinghuan as Gu Sinian's new follower.
Don't mention it. Mu Qinghuan followed Gu Sinian in and out of government offices these days. In order to hide his identity from others, he was really Gu Sinian's follower.
"Hey, Xiao Liuzi went to take care of his younger brother. This is Xiaomu. He can handle it for two days, haha."
Gu Sinian raised his eyebrows, took the idea into consideration, and said loudly:
"Xiaomu, show Mr. Jiang some tea!
This Mr. Jiang is a distinguished guest and a good brother of mine! "
Mu Qinghuan was stunned, his face full of disbelief:
"Looking at tea? Me?"
"Yeah, go!"
Gu Sinian was secretly happy. After being angry with this aunt for several days, she was finally able to vent her anger.
As long as she doesn't want to reveal her identity, she has to be honest and obedient.
"Okay, okay, I'll get you some tea!"
Mu Qinghuan naturally knew what Gu Sinian was planning, his eyes widened, and he walked away angrily.
Jiang Yufeng only thought that this follower was a bit strange, but he didn't suspect anything. He sat down and said:
"Brother Nian, you are so powerful, you even killed Wang Zitong.
Now that his charges were completely proven, Zhang Qingcai and Yang Feng not only confessed the story of being a bandit, but also revealed everything Wang Zitong had done before.
Did you know that he has embezzled less than half of the county government’s allocation for prison expenses in the past two years?
Oh, it's so dark.
But now that Wu Tou has taken over Da Cha Tou's position, no one will dare to be so presumptuous in the future.
If I had known that Brother Nian would deal with Wang Zitong so easily, I wouldn't have gone to the prison to snoop and look for evidence.
All in vain. "
Gu Sinian said calmly:
"He is a self-inflicted sin. I didn't want to enmity with him, but I wanted to cause trouble.
As for the things he did in the past, there must be insiders, but they just dare not say anything. "
When Gu Sinian asked Xiao Liuzi to return to the city to find evidence of Qin Dascar's death, he not only found Niu Erhu, but also made two preparations.
Another preparation is Jiang Yufeng:
With Mr. Jiang's money in prison and his smooth talk, he quickly found several insiders and prepared confessions, but they were not put to use.
Even if Niu Erhu didn't come forward, the evidence in Jiang Yufeng's hands was enough to prove that Wang Zitong was the one responsible for Qin Da Scar's death.
So even though Jiang Yufeng didn't show up, he also put in a lot of effort behind the scenes.
"boom!"
"Here, tea is here!"
While the two were talking, Mu Qinghuan put two cups of tea on the table, glared at Gu Sinian and said:
"Drink!"
Gu Sinian smiled and shook his head politely:
"I'm not thirsty yet, I'll drink it later~"
"you drink!"
Mu Qinghuan looked at Jiang Yufeng angrily.
"Hey, why are you so cruel!"
Jiang Yufeng was puzzled, but he actually picked up the tea bowl:
"Just drink, I'm thirsty."
"GuluGulu~"
"Pfft~"
"Bah! Why is it so hot!"
As soon as the tea entered his throat, Jiang Yufeng spurted it out. His tongue was so hot that it turned red and trembled.
"Haha! Let you drink!"
Mu Qinghuan smiled proudly and ran away without looking back, while Gu Sinian beside him was smiling from ear to ear:
"Haha! I knew it!"
"You, you, have suffered a secret loss, haven't you? Hahaha!"
Jiang Yufeng said with a bitter face:
"Brother Nian, you are teasing me again, who is this?"
Jiang Yufeng is not a fool. Would an ordinary servant dare to do this? There must be something hidden!
"Ahem, don't ask, we can't afford to offend you anyway."
Gu Sinian changed the topic and said:
"What do you want to see me for today? Let me tell you first, I don't have time to drink with you recently.
I'll talk about it later when I'm done. "
"Not drinking."
Jiang Yufeng wiped the tea from the corner of his mouth and sat upright:
"Brother Nian, I'm here to say goodbye.
I gotta go. "
"bid farewell?"
Gu Sinian was stunned:
"You were sent to Langzhou with a two-year sentence. Why are you leaving now?"
Even if the Jiang family had financial resources and connections, they wouldn't be so exaggerated, right?
Jiang Yufeng smiled bitterly and said:
"To be honest, I don't want to leave, it's good to be with Brother Nian here.
But you also know that recently, the border is unstable, the wind is tight, and the Beiyan horsemen are entering and plundering.
When the news reached my hometown, my father became anxious and hurriedly found someone to help him move me to the prison office in Ling'an, so that they could feel at ease being close to home. "
"So that's it~"
Gu Sinian was silent, feeling a little reluctant.
Jiang Yufeng was the first person he met after traveling through time, and also the first friend who showed kindness to him.
Although they didn't get along for a short time, he liked his frank temperament.
"Hey, don't be sad, Brother Nian."
Jiang Yufeng smiled cheerfully and said:
"It's not like I won't see you anymore. When Brother Nian comes to Ling'an from now on, he can definitely find me if he asks where the most elegant young master in the city is!
Ha ha. "
Gu Sinian rolled her eyes at him:
"You, you, are you always so talkative!"
"hey-hey."
Jiang Yufeng grinned and continued:
"By the way, there is one more serious matter. The printing technique that Brother Nian taught me has already been started by my father.
This is one of the first books printed by printing technology to be officially put on sale. "
Jiang Yufeng took out a book from his arms and handed it to Gu Sinian.
Gu Sinian glanced at it casually, nodded frequently and said:
"Hmm~ Well done. Look at the spacing between the lines. They are almost the same. It feels comfortable to look at.
For this font, your family must have found a good engraver, right? "
"That's not true." Jiang Yufeng said with some pain:
"It cost a lot of money."
"How is the book selling?"
"very good!"
Jiang Yufeng suddenly became excited:
“Our books are printed in a unified manner instead of manual copying which is time-consuming and laborious, so the cost is much lower and the price is naturally lower than what is on the market.
In addition, the engraving master's skills are good and the paper is of high quality, so the sales will certainly be good.
Brother Nian, let me tell you, in just ten days, the first batch of books was sold out.
Hahaha, my dad is rushing to make the second batch. "
"That's good."
Gu Sinian was very pleased. After all, it was a businessman's family and it always did things quickly.
Before Gu Sinian could react, Jiang Yufeng took out five ingots of silver from his arms. Each one was heavier than the last. At first glance, it seemed to be at least five or six taels.
Gu Sinian was stunned:
"What are you doing?"
Jiang Yufeng said seriously:
"Brother Nian, you taught me printing. Of course you have a share in the money our Jiang family has made!
This is the first batch of profits from selling books, all for you!
This is not just what I said, it is also what my father meant. "
"Are you kidding me? Put it away quickly!"
Gu Sinian waved his hands repeatedly:
"I just came up with an idea. From production, production, and sales, it's all your family's contribution. How will I get the money?
Take it, take it. "
Gu Sinian was really frightened by so much money. His salary was nothing compared to this.
"Brother Nian must keep this money!"
Jiang Yufeng said seriously:
“Businessmen must also do business properly.
If Brother Nian doesn't accept this money, how will our Jiang family make money steadily in the future?
Besides, brothers must also settle accounts clearly. What belongs to Brother Nian belongs to Brother Nian.
Not only does the money here have to be collected, but any money earned in the future will be shared by Brother Nian! "
"Okay, okay, I'll take these, and the rest can be kept at your house temporarily, okay?"
Gu Sinian didn't want to argue, so he picked up a piece of silver and said:
"Well, if I pay you this, don't I still owe you a few taels of silver?
Must be kept! Don't say no!
You just said it yourself, brothers will settle the score! "
Before Jiang Yufeng could shake his head, Gu Sinian blocked his words.
"All right."
Jiang Yufeng smiled bitterly and accepted the money. He didn't expect to get the money back so quickly.
Gu Si young said:
"Since we have to say goodbye, I would like to send you a message.
Making money in business is a matter of course.
But every copper must be earned openly and with peace of mind.
We don’t earn money that is unconscionable! "
"clear!"
Jiang Yufeng nodded heavily, raised his hands in a rare bow, and half-bent:
"Brother! We will meet again later!
I wish you a bright future! A meteoric rise! "
"See you later!"
…
A carriage was parked on a small slope outside Fengchuan County, with four or five followers standing quietly on horseback.
The driver who came to pick up Mu Qinghuan from Langzhou finally arrived.
Not far away, Mu Qinghuan smiled at Gu Sinian who came to see him off:
"I'm leaving now~ Don't miss me."
The two stood opposite each other. Gu Sinian was more than half a head taller than Mu Qinghuan. She had to raise her head slightly to see Gu Sinian's face clearly.
"Pull him down."
Gu Sinian responded as usual:
"Auntie, please leave early so that I can have some leisure time!"
"Hahaha!"
This time, Mu Qinghuan did not talk back, but instead smiled, with a glint of light shining deep in his eyes.
Mu Qinghuan moved his steps and said softly:
"You care about the people, have a quick mind, and have excellent writing skills. You are a good candidate for an official position.
Fengchuan County is too small for you.
Langzhou is the place where you can display your talents. "
It was the first time that the little girl spoke in such a serious tone. Gu Sinian also put away his smile and nodded:
"Don't worry, I will go.
See you in Langzhou! "
"Okay, I'll wait for you!"
"See you in Langzhou!"
"Crunch, crunch~"
The carriage drove slowly away, but Gu Sinian never left, his eyes flickering.
The white face and big watery eyes have always appeared in my mind, and I can't get rid of them for a long time.
"Alas~"
"Let's go~"
I don't know how long it took before Gu Sinian withdrew his gaze, patted his clothes and turned to leave.
But before he could take a few more steps, the sound of rapid horse hooves suddenly sounded in the distance.
"Da da~"
"Da da da~"
Gu Sinian frowned, as several fast horses were galloping towards him.
At the same time, a loud shout floated into his ears along the spring breeze:
"The commander of the Langzhou Guards is giving an urgent order! Everyone else is waiting to get out of the way!
Anyone who stands in the way will be killed! "
