The man was in his early twenties, wearing a scholar's uniform, holding a folding fan depicting peony flowers in his hand, looking at the anxious Fu An, and said casually: "I said Fu Xiao Fat, that thing is so expensive, and today is the first day it was sold, it will definitely not be as popular as you said, there must have been some when we passed."

Fu An's anxious footsteps stopped for a while, looked at him suspiciously, and asked in disbelief, "Are you sure?"

The man laughed, nodded his head with a folding fan, and said with a smile: "If my guess is correct, I am afraid that when we passed, the food did not sell much, after all not all People are as deceitful as you are."

Fu An, who was a little relieved at first, was furious after hearing what he said, watching him argue strongly: "I am not deceived!"

Fu An looked at the message that appeared in his eyes, 'I know you were deceived, but if you believe so much, I can only obey you', and suddenly became angry again. It's just that he didn't argue with him again this time, just looked at him and said, "You won't say that when you eat that thing later."

undefinedThe corners of the man's mouth became wider, and he looked like I was waiting.

Fu An looked even more angry, and walked a little faster, and soon came to Chen Xing's booth.

The man looked at the simple, but elegantly arranged booth in front of him, and immediately became a little interested. When he saw the beautiful boy who was busy at the booth, his eyes lit up even more. Even in such a simple place, it still looks outstanding, and even more and more outstanding because there is no extra decoration on the body.

The man looked at the brother several times, and then wanted to ask Fu An beside him about his situation, but he saw the person who was worried just now, and now his face has changed. With a look of joy, he hurriedly walked to the brother.

The man raised his eyebrows, greeted the classmates beside him, and walked forward. As soon as he got to Fu An's side, before he had time to say anything, he heard him move towards the beautiful The little brother shouted: "Little boss, do you still have the dessert you mentioned?"

"Naturally there is."

Looking straight at him.

Neither Chen Xing nor Fu An noticed the change in him, especially when Fu An knew that what he was thinking about could finally be eaten, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and then rejoiced He took out the money bag, took out enough silver taels and handed them to Chen Xing, and said happily, "You give me five copies first."

Chen Xing originally raised his heart all morning, but when he saw Fu An bringing a few young people dressed as scholars, he completely relaxed. At this time, seeing the silver tael that Fu An handed over, a smile appeared on his face, "Okay."

Chen Xing just stretched out his hand and was about to take the silver tael from Fu An when suddenly a delicate folding fan stretched out from the side, directly blocking the two of them between.

Chen Xing and Fu An were a little surprised.

Chen Xing looked at the handsome white-faced scholar, and when he saw him staring at him, the doubts in his eyes became more and more intense. He didn't understand why he didn't know this person before, why he looked at him like this.

"Brother Shen, what are you doing?"

Fu An looked at the folding fan blocking his hand and scratched his head with his free hand, as if he had no idea what he was going to do.

Shen He curled the corners of his lips, stared at Chen Xing, and asked with a bit of confusion, "Are you the owner of this stall?"

Chen Xing didn't know what he wanted to do, but he nodded honestly.

Shen He's smile grew even bigger when he heard the words, but now it's a bit more sarcastic. Before meeting Chen Xing, he thought that Fu An was only deceived by the rhetoric of the stall owner here, but after seeing Chen Xing, he felt that his simple friend was more likely to be deceived by his face. Didn't even know what the food was like.

Thinking of this, Shen He's tone was a little more contemptuous, "I don't know what the little boss is using to make this dessert, but it is worth so much money. As far as I know, Tianxiang Pavilion is the most expensive. The pastry is only 70 cents, and it not only contains a lot of honey, but also other precious ingredients, is it possible that the things in your dessert are similar to those in Xiangge that day?"

Hearing the man's words, Chen Xing instantly understood that he was here to find fault, and felt that he was selling this thing too expensive. Although he has a good temper, he cannot tolerate such slander.

There is no money, and there is no need to say such frivolous words."

Shen He originally thought that such a small boss who made a living by deceit and whose name was not worthy of his name, after hearing what he said, he was either a man with his tail tucked in his head, or he was extremely guilty and did not dare to talk back, absolutely not Thinking of him being so clever in replying to himself. After being stunned at the beginning, it was like turning back at him, and the anger on his face was beyond words.

Just when Shen He wanted to have another attack, Fu An, who was the inviter this time, spoke up. With his free hand, he opened the folding fan that Shen He was blocking from his hand, The money was handed to Chen Xing, and he said to the two of them:

Little Boss, how offended you are, don't take offense, get us something to eat! "

Chen Xing looked at Fu An who was full of anticipation, and then looked at the man next to him who was staring at him but stopped talking. He hesitated and took the money that Fu An handed over. He felt that Fu An Ann is a good guy, there is no need to lose a quality client just because of a little doubt from his friend.

After taking the money, Chen Xing's expression softened a lot, pointing to the big steamer and saying to them: "The things are here, you can see what flavor you want, I This time, I made three flavors of watermelon, grape, and orange."

In addition to Shen He expressing disdain, the other four all showed some strange expressions on their faces, after a moment of hesitation, they all said what they wanted to eat.

When they were all finished, Chen Xing looked at the scholar who had questioned him just now. Based on the principle of collecting money and serving him, he smiled at him and said, "Master, how about you?"

Although Shen He was still a little angry, but looking at the smile on Chen Xing's face, he felt that this brother was soft, so he should be more generous, and said reluctantly: " I want oranges."

Chen Xing stopped looking at him when he got what he wanted, reached out and lifted the lid of the steamer, ready to get some of the jelly they wanted.

It's about to overflow. Especially after Chen Xing took out a few bamboo tubes from the gap between the ice cubes, he began to look forward to the contents inside.

Chen Xing handed them the bamboo tubes one by one according to the taste they just said, then took out a small spoon from a small wooden barrel next to it and handed it to them, smiling: "This is my home New product, jelly."

The scholars looked at each other and looked at the bamboo tube and the small spoon in their hands, but no one started to move. It was Fu An who was the first to hold back his desire and opened his own bamboo tube, and couldn't wait to eat.

After watching Fu An take the first bite, he squinted to enjoy it, and then couldn't wait to take the second and third bites, the other three also started to eat, Only that Shen He still held his share, standing there wondering what he was thinking.

Don't eat it? Don't you want to see if this thing is worth that much money?"

Shen He, who was still hesitating at first, heard Chen Xing's words that seemed to be mocking him, and immediately became angry. After glaring at him, he opened the lid of the bamboo tube, and immediately made a manic Putting a spoonful in his mouth, he still thought that if this thing was not delicious, he would attack the teacher on the spot and ask for guilt.

Who knows, the moment Shen He ate it, the angry expression on his face immediately solidified, and instantly turned into an unbelievable expression, and then he ate a few more in disbelief mouth.

Out loud, "How does it taste?"

Unbelievable, and then the handsome face gradually turned red.

Thinking about one more thing is worse than one less thing, anyway, he has conquered the other party by his strength.

Shen He felt that the whole person was not good at this time. He originally thought that the little boss was a liar, and he was aggressively prepared to come over to ask him for guilt. As a result, after eating the food, I found out that this little boss is a liar, and it is clear that there are real materials!

Just as Shen He was standing there annoyed and entangled in how he should honor his shameless behavior just now, the other four scholars, who had already eaten up their share, had reunited at this time. In front of Chen Xing.

Fu An looked at Chen Xing and said excitedly: "Little boss, your food is so delicious! It's not worth waiting for me for so long. You help me pack a few more, I I want to take it back and give it to my family to taste."

"No problem, but I have to make it clear to Master Fu first. If we pack it back here, we will have to pay extra."

After thinking about it for a long time, I finally gathered up the courage to face Shen He, who was embarrassed. When I came back to my senses, I heard Chen Xing's words. I just wanted to open my mouth and slap it, but I immediately thought of the person who was beaten in the face just now. He closed his mouth again, and could only look at Chen Xing with a tangled face, wanting to hear what he would say.

"In order to maintain the taste of jelly, we all take ice to live, so if you take it out, it is best to take it back with ice. We will provide boxes and ice cubes for the guests who take out. You can receive ten cents for a box, and when you return the box after eating the jelly, you can also learn ten cents from us."

I originally heard Chen Xing say that extra money would be charged for takeout, and a bit of dissatisfaction appeared on the faces of several people, but after hearing what Chen Xing said, they I can understand his arrangement.

Fu An is rich, so naturally he doesn't care about how much more money he has. He immediately said, "No problem, you can pack six more for me!"

"I want three!"

"I want two!"

…

The few scholars invited by Fu An were more or less prepared to bring some back home to taste. After all, no one in their academy was short of money. When they were all done talking, only Shen He was left with a shy face.

Chen Xing swiftly took out the box on the side, first put the bamboo tube they wanted, and then put the ice cubes in the gap. Soon, all of them were handed to them.

As soon as Chen Xing's words came out, he saw the man's face in front of him changed for a few moments, his face was blue and red, and he looked extremely tangled.

Just when Chen Xing wondered if he shouldn't ask, thinking if he wanted to pretend he didn't say anything, the man in front of him seemed to have finally finished his entanglement and said with a blushing face: " I want, I want three points, the same taste."

"Good!" After Chen Xing finished, he started packing for him.

Shen He looked down and lowered his head again. At this time, Chen Xing, who was working hard, the blush on his face disappeared little by little, and even his expression was not as nervous as before. He felt that, in fact, this little boss is quite a good person. It seems that not all good-looking brothers can deceive people.

When Chen Xing handed him the packaged box, he saw Shen He staring straight at him, and when he saw his eyes, he immediately avoided it and took the The box immediately greeted his classmates and left.

Looking at the backs of several of them leaving, Chen Xing felt that this man was really strange. He was so aggressive at first, and now he is even more awkward.

But when Chen Xing finished counting the remaining jelly, he found that there was only one bamboo tube left. .

Because Mr. Fu and the others bought his jelly together, they made up for Chen Xing's delay in waiting for the buyer. Therefore, when they returned to Gu Mansion, although it was a little slower than before, it was only a little later than the time when they ate in the past.

Before he went out, he had been worried about what Gu Lang and Xueqiu would do for lunch, and now that he finally came back, he was relieved.

Chen Xing took a deep breath and slowly opened the door of Gu Mansion, the yard was unexpectedly empty. He greeted Qiu Jiu and asked him to push the wheelbarrow to the kitchen to leave it, and then went to the dining hall by himself. He felt that Gu Lang should be there now.

Thinking like this, Chen Xing's pace quickened a bit, and when he came to the main hall where he was eating, and saw the situation inside, he burst out laughing.

In the spacious living room, Gu Lang was sitting at the dining table, slowly eating the porridge he left in the morning, while Xueqiu, not far away, was also eating his cat food. . I just don't know if the distance between one person and one cat is too far, or if the aura is too clear, the two seem to be separated by a clear line, as if they are in two places that do not intersect.

At the same time when Chen Xing came in, Gu Lang raised his head and looked in his direction accurately. After seeing that the person who came here was cured by him, a shallow smile appeared on his face, and he said warmly, "Are you back?"

undefinedChen Xing strode in, glanced at the untouched food on the table, and thought that Gu Lang had just eaten it not long ago. There is still time, he can fry two more dishes, and they eat together, and he said it directly after thinking about it.

Gu Lang had no objection to Chen Xing's opinion. After listening to his words, he nodded directly, "Well, I happen to be not very hungry. I'll wait for you to eat together."

After finishing speaking, Gu Lang put down the chopsticks in his hand and put his hands on his knees, sitting well, looking at Chen Xing with anticipation.

Chen Xing looked at Gu Lang like this, and suddenly felt a little cute, Gu Lang is like a precious cat on weekdays, although he doesn't deliberately despise you, he always exudes a There is an air of 'you are all mortals, stay away from me', and now it's that beautiful kitten that puts away her claws, looks up at you obediently, and exudes a gentle aura all over her body .

Finger grasped for a long time, Chen Xing finally restrained the urge to rub his head in the past, he felt that if he really went to rub, it is estimated that what greeted him would not be Gu Lang's kind gaze, but death ray.

"What's wrong with you?" Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's changing face and the eyes that gave him goosebumps. He always felt that Chen Xing was thinking about something he couldn't let him know. .

Chen Xing looked away with a guilty conscience, and said without a trace: "It's okay, I'm just a little distracted."

After finishing speaking, Chen Xing wanted to leave the kitchen to cook, but he heard a thin cat meow 'meow', he turned his head to look at the snowball that was still some distance away, It looked at itself with its big blue eyes open, and there was some inexplicable grievance hidden in it.

Chen Xing looked at it like this, and his heart melted. He felt that Xueqiu must have not seen him all morning and felt wronged. He opened his hands and walked forward to hug it, As a result, a few mild coughs were heard.

Chen Xing turned his head subconsciously, only to see Gu Lang covering his mouth, as if the coughs just now came from his mouth. The cough on this hot day, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't care about going over to hold the snowball, he walked in front of Gu Lang a few steps, and asked with concern: "What's the matter with you, are you uncomfortable there, do you want to hire a doctor? come and see?"

Gu Lang glanced at the mournful meowing kitten beside him, and then put his eyes on Chen Xing's worried face again, and a faint arc was drawn around his lips, " It's okay, just a gust of wind just now. Didn't you say you're going to cook? Go ahead, and you can rest for a while when you're done eating."

"Ah, well, you're right. You wait here, I'll be ready soon."

After finishing speaking, Chen Xing left in a hurry.

After Chen Xing's back disappeared in the corner and could no longer be seen, Gu Lang slowly retracted his gaze and focused on the kitten not far away , said softly, "Don't stick to him all the time."

The kitten, who was still in high spirits and humming just now, the fur on his body exploded in the next second, while watching him vigilantly, he retreated behind the pillar and hid, from time to time secretly Looking at him twice, after realizing that he had no intention of the past, the hair that had blown up on his body was smoothed out again.

Gu Lang looked at his cowardly look, raised his eyebrows, retracted his gaze, and sneered softly.

Chen Xing said that he cooks very quickly, and in less than half an hour, he and Qiu Jiu came back with three dishes and one soup, a total of four dishes. Seeing that Gu Lang was still sitting there quietly without any impatient expression on his face, he took a long breath and said with a smile, "The meal is ready, let's eat!"

There are only Chen Xing and the others in the Gu Mansion, and naturally there is no rule that they should not eat or sleep, so eating is usually the time for them to communicate. It's just that usually Chen Xing is talking, Gu Lang responds from time to time, and Qiu Jiu listens silently.

The same is true today, Chen Xing ate two bites of food, thinking of those who came today, he directly talked to Gu Lang, and finally said something incomprehensible: "You said that Mr. Fu's My friend, why did he act so strangely, why is he not as easy-going as Mr. Fu at all? Moreover, when he finally sold things and left, he acted awkwardly and strangely, does he still want to buy it back and pay attention to it? Detailed research, and then come back to find my fault?"

Speaking of this, Chen Xing's face changed suddenly, he put down his chopsticks, looked at Gu Lang in horror, and said in disbelief, "He wouldn't really do that, would he?"

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing with a confident look, and then thought about what he said just now, and shook his head helplessly, "I don't think he will."

Hearing this, Chen Xing breathed a sigh of relief, but followed by a deep puzzlement, "Why?"

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's face even if he went out early and returned late, after being exposed to the wind and the sun, he was still able to see the face that would be seen standing in the crowd, and pursed his lips lightly .

Gu Lang suddenly wanted to tell Chen Xing that if he encounters that man next time, he should remember to avoid him. But soon after coming into contact with Chen Xing's slightly confused eyes, he swallowed all these words on the tip of his tongue, and said lightly:

"He is a friend of Mr. Fu. With this rudeness, there should be no second time, otherwise his classmates should say he is stingy."

Chen Xing felt that what Gu Lang said made sense, and more than half of the stones in his heart fell, but he quickly and strangely muttered: "Then why did he look at me so strangely when he left?"

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing who was puzzled, put a chopstick and put it in his bowl, and said softly: "Maybe he is just distressed for money, after all his classmates bought it, he If you don't buy it, you may not be able to save face. If you buy it, you may not have any money left in your pocket."

Hearing Gu Lang say this, Chen Xing felt a little guilty. If he knew he was so poor, he shouldn't have asked the last sentence. If he didn't ask the last sentence, the boy would not have bought it.

Gu Lang, as if he knew what he was thinking, gently comforted: "There is no need to worry too much, since he is a swollen face and a fat man. Even if you don't ask the last In a word, he will also buy it together, and people like this should not be able to stand the strange eyes of others. Therefore, it is the same with or without what you said. "

"Oh." Chen Xing nodded obediently, obviously listening to Gu Lang's words.

After smearing a potential rival without a trace, the corner of Gu Lang's mouth quietly raised an inconspicuous arc, feeling that the weather was very good today.

Since Mr. Fu brought his classmates to buy jelly once that day, several people came to buy jelly at Chen Xing's booth the next day, and no one bought one The above, thus gradually caused him to buy less things, and more people to buy, and he was almost out of work.

"Little boss, today I want six, two of the same taste." The little maid in a red dress and a single ponytail looked at Chen Xing and said excitedly.

Chen Xing nodded and took out two wooden boxes, ready to pack for her.

Only when he rummaged through the ice bucket and only found five jelly in it, a bit of embarrassment appeared on his face, looking at the little maid with a smile on his face Apologetically, "Sorry, I only have five left here."

already."

"Good."

Hearing this, Chen Xing responded, quickly took out the remaining bamboo tubes and packed them for her, and said politely, "Your five jellies."

The little girl first gave Chen Xing the amount of money she brought, and then happily carried the box back.

When the little girl left, another servant came and asked Chen Xing eagerly: "Little boss, do you still have jelly here?"

"Sorry, it's sold out." Chen Xing looked at him with a slightly apologetic smile.

The man slapped his thigh, and seemed to be in a hurry, and said, "Boss, your jelly sells so well, why don't you make a little more, and you can't make a little more. How about it! You saved your leisure time, but we servants are unlucky!"

Chen Xing frowned when he heard what he said. Although he would be complained about the fast selling of things on weekdays, he was complained frankly and maliciously by the people in front of him. At the time, Chen Xing was still a little uncomfortable.

Just when Chen Xing wanted to respond, a bohemian voice suddenly interjected, "You are so ridiculous, you are late and you can't buy things yourself, for fear of being your master Scolding, I'm just here to find fault with this little boss, does your master know that you look like this outside on weekdays? If you know, do you think he will drive you out?"

The person who was originally angry, immediately became angry when he heard these words, turned his head and wanted to teach the person a lesson, who knows that after seeing the person's face clearly, he suddenly became miserable , said dully: "Shen, Young Master Shen."

Sir, am I wrong?"

Seeing that the person in front of him was about to cry, Shen He raised his chin slightly, pointed in the direction of Chen Xing, and said lightly: "The person you should apologize is there."

the current errand.

Shen He looked at the dawdling look of the person in front of him, and couldn't help but urged: "Hurry up!"

The man's originally ugly face instantly became embarrassed, facing Chen Xing's direction, he said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have rushed like that!"

Chen Xing looked at his embarrassed face, didn't know what to say to ease the atmosphere, and heard Shen He next to him who didn't seem very satisfied and continued: "Then do you dare to do it next time? Are you bullying people outside?"

The man's heart tightened, knowing that this young master was dissatisfied with the answer just now, he quickly responded: "I don't dare, I don't dare, I won't dare to do this kind of bullying next time. Yes. Little boss, I'm sorry just now, I was in a hurry, so I didn't choose to say anything."

undefinedChen Xing looked at him bending over and apologizing, and waved his hand quickly, and said in an embarrassed tone: "Forget it, forget it, I won't keep it in my heart."

Shen He, who had been standing beside him, looked at Chen Xing's appearance, and after confirming that he really didn't care, he said lightly to the frightened man: "If it's okay, get out!"

"Yes, yes."

When the man left in a hurry, Chen Xing turned his eyes to the young man who seemed to have a bad temper but a good heart. He smiled at this Shen He, showing a bit of gratitude on his face, "Thank you so much for your son just now."

Meeting Chen Xing's smiling face, looking at the pair of eyes that seemed to be full of starlight, the man who had just lost his temper just now subsided his fiery temper, even his face There was also a bit of embarrassment on it.

Chen Xing noticed Shen He's quick transformation, and couldn't help but think that he was a little interesting, the smile on his face became a little bigger, looked at him and continued: "Master, do you want to buy something? ?"

Shen He stared at Chen Xing's bright smile, his brain became hot, and he said without thinking: "I want to buy jelly."

The smile on Chen Xing's face paused for a while, looking at him with a bit of a difficult look, and looking at Shen He's eyes a bit strange, "Ah, sorry, son, we have no more here. Jelly."

Chen Xing clearly remembered that when he told that person that there was no jelly, this young man was standing beside him? If it weren't for the fact that he had helped him just now, he would have thought he was here to find fault again.

Looking at Chen Xing's questioning eyes, Shen He was a little confused at first, but then he quickly recovered, thinking of what just happened, and a bit of annoyance appeared on his face , explained to Chen Xing repeatedly: "I, I was distracted just now, I am not going to buy jelly, I want other things."

Chen Xing looked at Shen He who was suddenly flustered, and only thought that he was really strange, but the visitor was a guest, and he did not continue to comment. Reaching out a finger, he pointed to the food on the table, and said in a gentle tone: "Young master, look what you want, here are cold skins, cold noodles, mung bean soup, and iced dumplings."

After saying this, Chen Xing thought of what Gu Lang said yesterday, afraid that he thought it was expensive, and then smiled: "The first three items are five cents a bowl, and finally It's the same as seven pennies."

Shen He looked in the direction of Chen Xing's fingers, but his eyes couldn't help but be attracted by his beautiful hand, with well-defined joints and a healthy thin red on the fingernails. His thoughts couldn't help flying a few minutes away, thinking absent-mindedly, the beauty is so beautiful even with her hands.

"Young Master?" Chen Xing looked at him just staring at the things on the table in a daze, and didn't speak for a long time, thinking that he still disliked these things for being expensive. He couldn't help but hesitated whether to invite him to a bowl on the excuse that he had helped him just now.

Being so called by Chen Xing, Shen He quickly pulled away from the imagination just now, his face even showed a bit of blush, looked at him and said embarrassedly: "Sorry, I just lost my mind. Come on. Just bring me a bowl of iced glutinous rice **** and a cold skin. I often hear Fu An talking about these two things, which must be extremely delicious. "

Seeing that he finally ordered food, Chen Xing gradually breathed a sigh of relief, followed his words and asked, "Are you and Mr. Fu good friends?"

Perhaps he was talking about a topic he was good at, Shen He's face became much more natural, and his tone of voice was relaxed, "He is my friend."

Qiu Jiu, who was next to him, has been watching Shen He silently since he appeared. At this time, he was doing what he wanted while watching him staring at Chen Xing intently. Raised a bit of calculation.

"By the way, little boss, I have one more thing to tell you."

After Shen He gradually relaxed, he was not as nervous as before, and gradually returned to his original eloquent nature, which made Chen Xing's guard gradually relax, and even It was a pleasure talking to him.

So, when she heard Shen He say that she had something to tell herself, Chen Xing subconsciously took it and asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

Call me by my name, don't call me any more son."

Chen Xing heard the words and nodded obediently, feeling that it was not a big deal, it was just a name.

Seeing Chen Xing agreeing to his request so easily, Shen He's eyes lit up for a moment, watching Chen Xing want to continue to say something, but suddenly something blocked in front of him Between him and Chen Xing, he looked over subconsciously and saw that it was the helper beside the little boss who was holding a tray in front of him with the two things he just ordered on it.

Qiu Jiu looked at the man in front of him who was trying to hook up with Chen Xing, showed an unfriendly smile, and said politely: "Sir, this is what you want." After speaking, Just handed the tray over.

Shen He, who was still thinking about how to make Chen Xing's impression of him better, faced this sudden thing, subconsciously reached out to pick it up, but almost started to fall because he didn't grasp it firmly.

When Shen He finally stabilized the things on the tray, he got angry and wanted to scold twice, but found that the reckless striker had left, and only Chen Xingzheng looked at him with a bewildered face, Now the harsh words were stuck in his throat again.

Chen Xing looked at the changing faces of the people in front of him, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with the son?"

Shen He looked at his face, squeezed out a smile, looked at Qiu Jiu who was busy beside him, and said with gritted teeth, "Nothing."

Chen Xing always felt a little confused when he looked at the person whose expression changed too fast. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that there were still vacancies not far away, so he greeted directly, "Young master, go find a place to sit down first, this dumpling won't taste good after it melts."

Shen He wanted to talk a little more, but because he still had something in his hand and someone urging him from behind, he couldn't help but nodded, and helplessly found a place to sit down. He originally thought that he would go to Chen Xing to chat for a while after he finished eating, but who knew that Chen Xing would not be free until he left.

Watching Shen He leave, Qiu Jiucai approached Chen Xing who was about to clean up the dishes and muttered softly, "Chen Xing, you have to stay away from that Shen He in the future."

Chen Xing, who was thinking about what to buy at the vegetable market later, heard Qiu Jiu suddenly say these words, and asked a little puzzled: "Why?"

Qiu Jiu looked at the confusion in Chen Xing's eyes, rolled his eyes, and immediately said: "I see that the young master has a hot temper, maybe he will be offended with a single word that day, and then he will not be It will be troublesome. After all, we are only a small business, and staying away from him can also avoid some troubles."

Chen Xing looked at Qiu Jiu with a serious face and felt that his words were a bit strange, but he couldn't remember the strangeness there for a while, so he could only nodded, no Say something else.

Qiu Jiu looked at Chen Xing's perfunctory appearance, and felt that he had not fully listened to his words. After thinking about it in his heart, he felt that he had to go back and tell his son about this matter, or else the time would come. Chen Xingzhen was abducted by that man, and his son must not cut him to vent his anger.

Recently, a new dessert, jelly, has suddenly become popular in the city, and it is especially popular among the ladies and wives of major families. Even because of its high price, the daily portion is limited and the supply is in short supply, it has become a way to entertain close friends who come to visit and show off their financial resources.

In between, is enough to make people feel embarrassed.

So, I don't know when it started, the jelly that originally came to the stall every day and took some time to sell out. Basically, when he arrived at the booth, he was divided up by the servants sent by each family.

Because some people bought too much, so Chen Xing had to put up a sign, telling everyone that one person can only buy six at most, and not to sell more, so it stopped The scene of a wealthy and wealthy family suddenly wrapping up everything on his booth.

"Come on, this is your share." Chen Xing smiled and handed the packaged box to the little servant who came to buy, thinking how much was left.

The boy took the box with beautiful patterns handed over by Chen Xing, and looked at the little boss who smiled gently in front of him, he couldn't help but ask, "Little boss, what are you doing? It's so popular, why don't you do a little more, you can make money too!"

, then the gain outweighs the loss, so we can only do this for now." Furthermore, he also understands the truth that the more things are cheaper, so it's better to do this now.

The little boy stared at Chen Xing's smiling face, in fact, he didn't understand what he was saying at all, he just thought that what the little boss said was reasonable, nodded randomly, and then picked up something left.

After he left, a little maid came running from behind, and hurriedly said, "Is there any peach flavor today?"

Chen Xing looked at the sweat on her forehead, handed her a bowl of herbal tea, and said warmly, "Yes, there are three more."

The maid took the herbal tea handed over by Chen Xing, and there was a bit of struggle on her face. In the end, she couldn't stand the cold temptation. Bowl, a bit of embarrassment appeared on his face, and a bit of embarrassment appeared on Chen Xing's face. How could she drink in such a hurry, as if she hadn't had a drink in her life!

Chen Xing didn't seem to see the embarrassment on her face, and continued to ask: "How much do you want, and what flavor do you want?"

The maid didn't care about the embarrassment when she heard the words. She didn't buy this dessert last time, and she was punished by the lady when she went back. The reason was that when her lady was having a party with another lady, the other lady When she bought it, her lady didn't have it. If she can't buy it this time, her lady will punish her severely!

Thinking of this, the little girl immediately said in a hurry: "I want six servings, three servings of peaches, and one serving for the rest."

"Good." After listening to the little girl's words, Chen Xing quickly helped her pack it up, and finally handed the two boxes to her: "This thing is a bit heavy, girl Please also be careful."

The maid looked at Chen Xing's gentle face, blushed, and hurriedly left with the two boxes.

Qiu Jiu next to him glanced at the maid who had just left, and then looked at Chen Xing, who was starting to figure out when he could go back, and sighed silently in his heart, at the same time he was a little grateful for his son Not here, otherwise he thinks that there is a chance that Chen Xing will not be able to come out to do business.

Envy and jealous eyes appeared constantly, as if she was not carrying some desserts, but two boxes of golden treasures.

Bathing in such eyes, the maid who was a little flustered, gradually calmed down, and even her steps were much calmer. She straightened her waist like that, and in the envious tone of everyone's discussion, she slowly walked towards the mansion.

When the maid took the box out of their sight, the person sitting there eating tea said with some admiration: "I don't know who bought this again, what does it taste like, I really want to try it."

The man next to him looked at him and sneered, with a bit of cynicism in his tone: "That thing is basically eaten by those rich and rich people, I heard that it is expensive! Can someone like you afford to eat?"

The man who just started talking heard his sarcasm and retorted: "I don't eat it every day, I only eat it once, I don't believe I can't afford it."

Hearing the man's words, his companion raised his eyebrows and continued to mock: "Really? I heard that that thing is fifty cents a piece, and you have to pack it for take-out If so, you will need to add ten cents more."

The man immediately widened his eyes, looked at his companion and said in horror: "So expensive?"

The companion sneered and continued: "And I heard that, even an ordinary woman, after a few bites, it will be gone. Rough men like us, it will be gone in two or three bites. So , do you still buy it?"

The meat is really back, I don't buy it anymore, I don't buy it anymore."

The companion looked at him as he looked down on himself, and did not continue to laugh at him, but looked at him and raised his eyebrows, "It doesn't matter if you don't buy it, it's not something we can afford. of."

When the two of them said this, they did not notice that not far behind them, a charming woman was standing there listening to them. After they finished speaking, they turned their eyes to the pedestrians hurriedly passing by on the street. Looking at the servants who walked past with their heads held high and carrying one or two boxes painted with the star pattern, a pretty face appeared. A bit of a jealous look.

This woman is the boss Qiao who was warned by Chen Xing last time. She was so frightened by Chen Xing last time. thought. But who knows, that brother not only made his original business prosperous, but also made an expensive dessert, which seems to be making a lot of money. Thinking of this, Boss Qiao's nails gradually embedded in the flesh, and his face became more and more hideous.

Just when she was about to stop her madness, the second in the store suddenly came over and whispered, "Boss?"

Boss Joe looked over subconsciously, "What's the matter?!"

The ferocious look on her face that could not be put away in the future shocked Xiao Er, Xiao WWII looked at her tremblingly, and whispered: "That, the debt collector is here."

Boss Qiao's ugly face became more and more ugly, but the ruddy face turned pale for a moment. But soon, under Xiao Er's worried eyes, she adjusted her state and returned to her usual arrogant appearance.

Boss Qiao looked at the trembling little Er next to him, and asked lightly, "Are they there?"

Xiao Er carefully observed the look on her face, pointed to the outside direction, and said softly: "Outside."

Boss Qiao took a deep breath and walked slowly in the direction he pointed to. When he got to the door, he didn't see the creditor in the mouth of Xiao Er, but saw that he came to trouble her some time ago the woman. Looking at the woman's smug look, Boss Qiao had a bad premonition in his heart.

As expected, in the vigilant eyes of Boss Qiao, the woman took out a stack of paper from her arms, and then looked at Boss Qiao and said maliciously: "Why, I'm looking for you That creditor? Unfortunately, he won't be here today."

Boss Qiao pursed her lips and didn't speak. She just looked at the thing in her hand and felt that she was going to be planted here today.

The woman slowly walked over with the stack of papers, and moved closer to her so that she could see clearly what it was.

Boss Qiao also did as she wished, and saw clearly what the stack of papers was. They were all IOUs she signed before, all to repay her gambling debts.

After she saw this clearly, the woman immediately showed a proud look on her face, looked at her and said, "What, did you see clearly?"

Boss Joe looked at her without speaking.

The woman immediately became angry, raised her hand and slapped her.

To the person who slapped her just now.

The woman looked at her like this, but her mood seemed to have improved a little, and continued: "Why, you little prostitute still want to beat me? I tell you, this thing is in my hands In your hands, you have exceeded the time to repay the money. Do you think that if my **** husband doesn't pursue it, you will be fine? It's just that I take this thing to the government and sue you, and you will still be locked up!"

Boss Joe's expression softened immediately when he heard her threatening words, looking at the woman and said, "What do you want?"

The woman looked at her pitiful appearance and sighed to herself, no wonder his dead husband was fascinated by this little slut, but he had a bit of beauty. But soon, thinking of the purpose of his coming here, he immediately came back to his senses.

The woman glanced at Boss Qiao's shop not far away, with a greedy expression on her face, "I know, this shop is yours, as long as you give me this shop, I'll return your IOU to you, what do you think?"

When Boss Qiao heard this, he had a somewhat arrogant expression on his face, and immediately became scared. This store is her last foundation of life. If it is given to this woman, how will she live in the future?

Seeing the expression of rejection on Boss Qiao's face, the lady hooked her lips and smiled, sarcastically: "Why, I can't bear it? Then I will give this IOU to the county master and see what he has to say. At that time, this store is still mine." After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

Boss Qiao panicked immediately. She is not covered by Lai Jiu now. She looked at the woman who was about to turn around, knelt down with a plop, and said in a panic:

"Sister, eldest sister, listen to me. Give me a little more time, and I promise to return the money to you. Let me tell you the truth, although this store is mine, the land deed is not mine. Here, even if you catch me in jail, I can't sell it and pay you back. At that time, you won't have any money, and you won't even be able to get a shop, so why bother?"

The woman turned her head when she heard the words and looked at the woman kneeling on the ground in a daze, with a suspicious look on her face, "Is what you said true?"

Seeing her stop, Boss Qiao immediately said: "What I said is true, absolutely true, if you arrest me, this shop will immediately belong to his original owner Now. I only have the right to use this shop, and I don't have any right to sell it."

The woman only thought it was absurd and felt that Boss Qiao was lying to her, but looking at Boss Qiao's eager appearance, she asked curiously, "Then tell me, what exactly is this shop? who?"

When she said these words, she stared at Boss Qiao like a falcon, as if if Boss Qiao told a lie, she would immediately pounce on her and tear her to pieces.

Boss Qiao pursed his lips that started to dry out, he hesitated for a moment, but said directly, "The title deed is in the Gu family!"

The woman frowned when she heard the words, her face was full of doubts, as if she could not remember that the Gu family was the Gu family. But soon she stopped thinking about it. She stretched out her foot and kicked the woman on the ground, and asked with a look of disdain, "Are you talking about the Gu family?"

Boss Qiao didn't know what to think, his face was ugly for a moment, but he answered her honestly, "The Gu family who was destroyed ten years ago."

Hearing that the shop was actually owned by the Gu family, the woman's face became a bit ugly, she stared at the woman on the ground, and asked suspiciously: "Since it is the Gu family, so what? Will it be in your hands?"

undefinedBoss Joe's eyes flickered a little, obviously he didn't really want to talk about it.

Boss Qiao was numb from her scratching, looking at the woman's somewhat hideous face, he still told the origin of the shop, "I got it from the Chen family."

Woman: ? ? ?

Let it go, don't talk a little bit, my mother, I don't have that much time to spend here with you."

Boss Qiao looked at the woman's increasingly violent face, licked her lips lightly, and finally told the matter in its entirety, "When the Gu family had an accident, many properties under his name were divided up. Now, this shop was allocated by the Chen family at that time. However, because the Chen family was completely destroyed at that time, the title deed for this shop was not found. I had a little friendship with Mr. Chen, and after we separated, he regarded this shop as a I am compensated."

If she wanted to, she also got this shop as compensation.

The woman sneered, looked at the mute woman, and said sarcastically, "You have the guts, a shop without a title deed, how dare you do it for so many years."

Boss Joe's face showed a bit of embarrassment, and he whispered, "No one thought that the kid from the Gu family would still appear alive!"

Boss Qiao and Master Chen thought that the Gu family were dead, and that no one would appear again, so it doesn't matter if there is a land deed, anyway, no one will come to rob it. If this woman hadn't pushed her hard today, she wouldn't have told the truth.

After Boss Qiao finished saying these words, he quietly looked at the woman's expression, and seeing that the anger on her face gradually dissipated, he continued to say: "You want this shop to be In the past, the sick seedling came to the door that day.

The woman sneered, as if mocking her innocence, "I'm still afraid that such a short-lived ghost who can't kill love can't be successful?"

Boss Qiao looked at her and complimented: "Of course you are not afraid of him, but it will be a little troublesome in the end. If I give you the shop on one end, he will find the land deed on the other end. , ask me to return this shop to him, then you are not worth the loss. Moreover, I am paying back real money, isn't it safer than something that may be taken away at any time? "

The man on his lap kicked away and said perfunctorily, "If that's the case, then you're like a way to return the money to me. If I don't see the money within ten days, you should know the consequences."

"Well, I see."

Hearing the woman say this, Boss Qiao knew that his store was temporarily saved, so he was relieved and agreed to her conditions.

The woman looked at her and laughed lightly, then left with a few servants behind her.

It wasn't until the woman was far away that Xiao Er, who had been quietly watching, ran over quickly and helped Boss Qiao up. Looking at her worriedly, she asked, "Boss, what should I do next?"

Boss Qiao got up from the ground, the weak expression in front of the woman had disappeared, replaced by an indifference that ignored everyone, and said softly: "What to do, naturally there is way."

Boss Qiao suddenly figured out what to do for a moment just now. When the trash of the Gu family came back, she investigated him and knew that he still lived in the original haunted house. Later, by chance, she found out that the brother who made her extremely jealous was the wife of the Chen family who made him prevaricate.

Between the lightning bolts that had just kneeled at the feet of the woman, Boss Qiao suddenly thought of a good idea, that is, she can go to the Gu family's mansion, and take advantage of Gu Lang when he is alone. Tied up, forced to ask Chen Xing the recipe for dessert before killing him.

Boss Qiao felt that as long as she did a clean job, no one would find out, so she wouldn't have to worry about any trouble. At that time, not only will she be able to keep her shop permanently, but she will also be able to sell the formula and make a lot of money.

"Old boss, what do you want to do?"

The second shopkeeper looked at the smile on Boss Qiao's face and shuddered suddenly. He always felt that she was planning something terrible.

Boss Qiao looked at Xiaoer's trembling look, patted his head in disgrace, and said dissatisfiedly: "Look at your embarrassing appearance, your boss, I'm going to do it. It's a big deal. If you're holding me back, let's see how I deal with you!"

Little Er swallowed his saliva and nodded in shock.

Boss Qiao looked at his cowardly look and raised half of his lips. She had to go back and design a complete plan to avoid any mistakes. She had to ensure that her plan was foolproof. .

Chen Xing and Gu Lang, who had no idea that someone was going to kill them, were busy in the kitchen at this time, although Chen Xing had no idea of increasing production in order to implement 'hunger marketing'.

However, in order to meet the growing hobbies of the children of aristocratic families, Chen Xing continued to innovate in the style of jelly. He customized some new molds to make the shape of the jelly more beautiful One point, try to make them feel that the money is worth it.

When Chen Xing was doing these things, Gu Lang came to help Chen Xing because he sat for too long every day and needed activities.

Chen Xing thought for a while and felt that Gu Lang was right, so he did not stop him, but he still chose some leisurely chores for him to do when he was working. For example, he prepared different flavors of stock solution, and Gu Lang helped to pour it into the mold.

Gu Lang's comprehension ability is very good. After Chen Xing said it once, he got started quickly, and gradually he did well under Chen Xing's command.

Just as Chen Xing and Gu Lang prepared the stock solution, and the other poured it into the mold according to a fixed proportion and weight, when the two cooperated extremely well, suddenly there was a very sad cat in the yard. cry.

"Meow~"

Looking for the sound and looking over, I saw a white kitten being tied to a post by a rope under the porch not far away. At this time, two big blue eyes were shining brightly. There are gods staring in their direction, to be precise, Chen Xing's direction, with a look of grievances that want to pass but can't get past, it looks very pitiful.

Looking at it like this, Chen Xing actually didn't want to tie it, and wanted to touch its cat's head, but because he was cooking now, once it was released, it would Come over to rub himself, and kittens and cats are prone to shedding hair, he finally resisted the urge in the past. I could only glance at it apologetically, thinking in my heart that after I'm done with things here later, I would prepare some food for it that it likes, as an apology for it.

Seeing that Chen Xing turned his head and didn't look at himself again, the kitten seemed to know that he couldn't be let go, and purred softly and mournfully, staring at Chen Xing with round eyes Star, with an abandoned expression on his face.

Chen Xing listened to its cry, and felt like a scumbag who ruthlessly abandoned his little lover, so guilty that he dared not look in its direction.

After hearing the meows, Gu Lang slowly moved his gaze to the white kitten, his eyes a little more sharp. Then I saw the fur on the kitten exploded, and I heard that its meow became smaller and smaller, and gradually changed from loud at first to silent.

Seeing this cat's interesting appearance, Gu Lang raised his eyebrows in satisfaction and raised the corners of his lips lightly.

Chen Xing, who was still thinking about completing the work at hand as soon as possible, did not notice the interaction between one person and one cat. , said happily: "In half an hour, we will be able to complete today's task."

Gu Lang turned his head to look at Chen Xing's bright smile, followed by a gentle smile, and nodded lightly: "Yes."

After all, Gu Lang was going to take the container in Chen Xing's hand, but at the moment when the two of them handed over the container, their hands accidentally touched.

Chen Xing's hand trembled subconsciously, but Gu Lang steadied his hand so as not to let the container in his hand fall to the ground.

Gu Lang took the container steadily, looked at Chen Xing whose face was flushed, and lowered his voice: "Be careful!"

After hearing Gu Lang's words, he nodded lightly, "Well, I will be careful."

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's flushed cheeks and the tips of his ears, and did not continue to say anything, but continued to tinker with the mold with the container in his hand.

Chen Xing looked at Gu Lang's sturdy back behind him, touched his cheek a little embarrassedly, and didn't continue to say anything, he lowered his head and continued to do things.

The kitten cat not far away watched the interaction between his **** shoveling officer and the terrifying human, and snorted softly from his nose, then turned around and pointed his **** against their direction. For most of the day, what are these two people doing? It's too much!

The next time, the two of them were quietly making jelly, without saying anything else. It's just that there is a somewhat unusual atmosphere in the air occasionally, like an ambiguous rose fragrance, which is so intoxicating.

Gu Lang now seems to have developed a habit, that is, when Chen Xing and Qiu Jiu go out to do business, he will send them at the door.

Today is no exception, Gu Lang said goodbye to Chen Xing at the door, and after promising to take good care of Xueqiu, he slowly closed the door of Gu's house and entered the courtyard.

However, what Gu Lang and Chen Xing didn't know was that after they separated and Gu Lang closed the door of Gu's house, at the corner not far from them, several people were sneaking at the door of Gu's house They were still discussing something with each other. It seemed that they were almost certain. They discussed each other for a while, then turned and left there.

Not long after, this group of people reappeared in Boss Qiao's store, looked at Boss Qiao sitting in the closed store, and reported everything they had just seen,

"Boss Qiao, we have investigated it clearly, that brother will go out to do business with his servants every day before noon, and only that waste will be left in the yard at that time."

Hearing the man's report, Boss Qiao nodded with satisfaction, "You guys are doing very well, we will find an opportunity to sneak in in a few days and tie the man."

That much money?"

Boss Joe's red lips were slightly hooked, his eyes were like silk, he floated gently to the man, and said softly: "Otherwise? I just want to get my things back, do you think I will Do you want to kill and set fire?"

The man was first shocked by the appearance of Boss Qiao, and immediately relieved after reacting, "That's good." If it's just kidnapping people, even if they get caught, it's no big deal Yes, but killing people is different. They are accomplices and will be punished by death.

Boss Joe looked at him relaxed, the corners of his mouth curled more and more, and laughed secretly in his heart, 'These idiots'. What she wanted was not so much.

Chen Xing's booth today was also very smooth, but what he didn't expect was that he met an unexpected person.

When I first saw the person who suddenly appeared at the stall, Chen Xing only thought that he was a little familiar, but he didn't recognize who he was for a while.

Chen Xing glanced at the man with a familiar face, but still did not remember who the man was.

Perhaps the curiosity and doubt in Chen Xing's eyes were too obvious. The man who was observing what other people bought suddenly raised his head and looked in Chen Xing's direction, smiling: "The boss is What are you looking at?"

Chen Xing was startled, subconsciously withdrew his gaze, looked away with a guilty conscience, and whispered: "It's nothing."

As soon as you ask, if it is inconvenient for you to say it, don't say it."

Hearing his words, Chen Xing breathed a sigh of relief, adjusted his mentality, turned his head again, and asked him with his usual attitude towards guests: " What do the guests want to eat?"

undefinedThe man looked at the things on the table, then looked at Chen Xing, who smiled gently in front of him, and said in a low voice, "I heard from my colleagues that your Liangpi and noodles are good here. Bring me a mix, and a green bean soup."

"Good." Chen Xing agreed, took his money, and asked Qiu Jiu next to him to type something for him.

When Chen Xing handed the bowl to Qiu Jiu, something flashed in his mind, 'Colleague? ', he immediately remembered that this person was the Master Xu he met when he went to see people in the cell that day!

Chen Xing suddenly looked up at the thin middle-aged man in front of him, and said with a look of surprise: "Are you Master Xu?"

Seeing Chen Xing's surprised look, Master Xu's original serious face got a little more smile, and said with a bit of ridicule: "The little boss recognizes Xu. already?"

When he said this, Chen Xing felt more and more embarrassed, thinking that Master Xu came to his booth, not only did he not recognize him, but also made him stand here for so long, so he quickly I found a seat for him to sit down, and then I wanted to return the money I just received.

Master Xu stretched out his hand and blocked Chen Xing back, under his embarrassed eyes, he smiled gently, "Xu is here to eat, so there are The reason for not giving money. If it's like this next time, how can Xu dare to come and eat. If you accept it, I will dare to come!"

Chen Xing always thought it was weird when he heard his words, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it for a while. In the past, he only had to be responsible for cooking, and other things were handled by special personnel. After he came here, he had to collect money and cook again. He was still in the stage of learning about the world.

So, after Master Xu declined Chen Xing's proposal, he still looked at him with a tangled face, wondering, "However, I still want to treat you to a meal, after all last time I got the compensation from the booth because of you guys. A meal isn't worth much, so I can feel more at ease."

Master Xu looked at Chen Xing's clear eyes and knew that his words were all from the heart, not being polite and hypocritical like others, and the smile on his face became brighter immediately,

"These things are all ordered by the county magistrate, and we are just acting on orders. If the little boss wants to thank the county magistrate, we should thank the county magistrate. Our current county magistrate is a lover of the people. Such a good official!"

What Master Xu didn't say is that if the county magistrate hadn't opened his mouth, Chen Xing wouldn't say that he would get the money so soon, he wouldn't say whether he could have the money, after all Years of the poor point to this point of oil and water.

Chen Xing was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, but did not expect that a little commoner like him would actually attract the attention of the county magistrate.

Just as Chen Xing was stunned, Qiu Jiu had already brought up the two things Master Xu wanted and placed them in front of his table.

Master Xu looked at the cold noodles with red oil and chili sauce in front of him, and he looked at the cold noodles. He thought that this trip was not in vain. As for the rest, he glanced at Chen Xing, who was tangled in front of him, and Qiu Jiu, who was busy and quick in his hands and feet, so he could only leave it to the county magistrate to make his own judgment.

Chen Xing was finished, he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything, and looked at Master Xu with a look of hesitating to say something. But Master Xu also waved at him and said politely: "Okay, little boss, hurry up and do your work! I'll leave after I finish eating."

Chen Xing couldn't but leave.

At the moment when Chen Xing turned around, Master Xu suddenly stopped him again, and in his inexplicable eyes, he said lightly: "I heard that there was something wrong with the little boss's booth a few days ago. Taiping? If this kind of thing happens next time, the little boss can go to the yamen for help, and we all welcome it."

Chen Xing looked at him and nodded hesitantly. When he got back to the platform and started busy, he felt that something was not right, but he couldn't say what was wrong for a while.

"

Chen Xing's expression was very serious at this time, and even his voice was a little serious, "Do you think that the government here is too good?"

Qiu Jiu, who originally thought that Chen Xing was going to say something, was relieved when he heard this, and after taking a deep breath, he said, "Hey, I thought it was something. It turned out to be just This matter, maybe the officials here are more enthusiastic!"

Chen Xing touched his chin with one hand, his eyes full of confusion, "However, I still think they pay too much attention to my small stall, I always think it's weird! But I am a small Little flat-headed people, there is nothing worthy of their concern!"

Qiu Jiu looked at Chen Xing's face carefully, hesitated and said, "It may be that you are more compatible with them, and what you make is also in their taste, so they I'll be so polite to you!"

Chen Xing felt that this was the most reasonable reason, but he still felt that something was not right there, but he couldn't find it. He looked at Qiu Jiu and asked again: " Really?"

Facing Chen Xing's suspicious gaze, Qiu Jiu nodded frantically, hoping that he would believe his words, "Yes, otherwise it could be because of something. After all, we are poor and we don't know each other. People don't have much foundation yet, so what else can others gain. Maybe the county magistrate is too kind, so he pays special attention to vulnerable groups."

Chen Xing looked at him with sincerity and seriousness, and seemed to think that what he said made sense. He probably thought too much, so he nodded and said indifferently: "Well, you're right."

Qiu Jiu looked at the doubts on Chen Xing's face and let out a sigh of relief.

when he added,

"I think the county magistrate is really a good person, and he is also a good official. The life of the people here will definitely get better and better in the future!"

Gu Lang listened to Chen Xing's words, looked up and saw Chen Xing's serious face, he responded softly, the corner of his mouth raised a shallow arc, as long as Chen Xing was happy Well, the extra stuff doesn't matter anymore.

Received a response from Gu Lang, Chen Xing told him about what happened during the day, most of which were trivial things, like the children in that house clamoring to eat, but their stomachs were fragile, His parents were coaxing the food that he couldn't eat, such trivial things.

But Gu Lang listened very seriously, and looked at Chen Xing's face, which had become brighter because of his happiness, and always had a light smile on his face.

Since he left home, Gu Lang has not experienced such ordinary fireworks for many years. Even if it is trivial, even if it is trivial, he misses it very much. Maybe he didn't find what he missed before, and it was only now that he had such a person that he had some idea of home.

Chen Xing said excitedly, and Gu Lang who was next to him occasionally responded with a few words, and then he had the desire to continue. Occasionally, there was a soft 'meow' at his feet, and he would stop and take a piece of fish and hand it to the little guy at his feet who had already finished eating.

Gu Lang watched Chen Xing lowered his head to feed the cat, with a gentle smile on his face, and suddenly felt that it would be nice if he could live like this forever.

Chen Xing raised his head and met Gu Lang as gentle as before, with a slightly different look. I don't know why, but his face started to turn red slowly when he met that line of sight.

Even under the dim candlelight, Chen Xing's blushing was still obvious, Gu Lang asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Chen Xing immediately came to his senses, shook his head quickly, and refused to reveal his own thoughts, "I'm fine."

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's dodging eyes, was silent for a while and did not continue to ask, and replied softly, "Well, but if there is anything, you can tell me directly. "

"I know."

Hearing Gu Lang's soft consolation, Chen Xing suddenly remembered the little thought that arose not long ago, the little boy who wanted to be with Gu Lang. Secretly, his face turned even redder in an instant. He thought it was fortunate that Gu Lang didn't know, otherwise he would definitely laugh at him.

Gu Lang stared at Chen Xing's constantly changing face, as if he was confirming something, his eyes flickered, and finally turned dark.

That night, Chen Xing had a dream that not long after he wore it here, he was coerced by Mrs. Chen into a sedan chair. It's just that this time is different from the last time, he didn't go through the scene alone, but someone led him into the bridal chamber together. When he got to the room, all he saw was Gu in a happy dress smiling at him. Lang.

Gu Lang's face was a little more red than usual because of the care of Xifu, and he looked more and more handsome. He looked at Chen Xing with a smile, his thin lips parted lightly, and he whispered, "Husband, let me serve you and rest!"

Then, Chen Xing was woken up by the fright, he stared at the top of the bed with some outlines in the hazy night. Then he quietly shrank his body back into the thin quilt, blushing and trying to hide himself.

How could he have such a dream? Still such a shameful dream!

If it wasn't too late now, Chen Xing would have wanted to run out and shout twice, but he couldn't. So, he could only twist himself into a ball under the quilt, and wondered why he had such a dream all night!

When he woke up the next day, Qiu Jiu was taken aback by his appearance.

Qiu Jiu looked at Chen Xing's blue eyes and asked cautiously, "Chen Xing, what's wrong with you, are you alright?"

Chen Xing, who didn't sleep well, just glanced at him, shook his head, and went to the kitchen like a ghost.

Qiu Jiu looked at Chen Xing's footsteps as if she was drifting, shook her goosebumps, and followed immediately, he had to look at Chen Xing a little to avoid any accident, then He really couldn't eat and walked away.

It wasn't until after breakfast that Chen Xing recovered a little, and then left Gu Mansion with a guilty conscience in Gu Lang's curious eyes.

Gu Lang stood at the door and recalled the look in his eyes when Chen Xing left, smiled softly, closed the door and went back to the house.

One stepped on the other's shoulders to build a human ladder, allowing the last one to climb over the Gu family's wall.

The man made a 'safe' gesture on the top of the wall towards the people waiting below, and then jumped from the top of the wall into the yard. In less than half an hour, the originally closed After making a 'click' sound, the back door slowly opened in front of them.

"Fast forward!" As soon as he finished speaking, several people waiting at the door slipped in along the crack of the door he opened.

When everyone went in, the door was clicked shut again.

After a few people went in, they looked at the desolate yard with a little bit of surprise in their eyes, and finally looked at their heart-wrenching leader, Boss Qiao, and asked, "What should we do next? How can I find someone?"

undefinedBoss Joe was wearing gray men's clothing today, and he didn't have the delicate and heavy makeup on his face, plus a gray cloth on his face, he looked completely normal It's two people. After hearing the man's question, he raised his eyebrows, and then said rudely:

"This yard has been destroyed before, and most of the houses are no longer occupied. If they want to live in people, they must live in the ones near the gate, and the surrounding area should be cleaned up , You can see it at a glance. Come, let's go in the direction of the front yard now."

After listening to Boss Qiao's words, the other three looked at each other, nodded, and followed the woman towards the front yard.

Along the way, they looked at the splendid courtyard of Gu Mansion, even though it was full of gray layers, and even many places were destroyed, they still couldn't hide the former glory here.

One of the young people finally couldn't bear it anymore, and whispered to the companion next to him: "This yard is really stylish, I want to live in it."

The man next to him gave him a sidelong glance and sneered, "Don't you know the legend of this yard?"

Listening to the sarcasm in his tone, the young man who just asked the question said unconvinced: "Isn't it because his family died here? It's not haunted! Besides, even if it is haunted, do people still I'm afraid of ghosts! If I had known that this house was so good, I would have moved in long ago!"

, is crazy, and then it was completely called a haunted house by people."

After finishing speaking, the man looked at the embarrassed young man in front of him, and continued: "Inquire before you do anything, kid, lest you have a big somersault and don't know what's going on. "

"Okay, stop talking, we seem to be somewhere."

While they were talking, the leading Boss Joe said to them, then waved to them, and after they were all energized, they took the lead through the arch to the other side of the yard go.

When they passed through the arch in front of them, the gorgeous scene in front of them and the dilapidation behind them formed a sharp contrast.

The young man who spoke just now looked at the beautiful courtyard in front of him, and said in disbelief: "Are we in the same courtyard? The place we passed just now and the place we are now are not the same at all. thing!"

Boss Qiao looked at the yard in two places like the place she just passed by, and she felt a little flustered for some reason, but she quickly thought of what she was going to do and calculated in her heart For a moment, I feel like I don't have much time left.

Boss Qiao forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, looked at the other three who were full of surprise, and whispered: "Don't forget what we are here for! When we get it Qian, what kind of yard do you want to live in? Now that we have found a place, keep your hands and feet light, and don't let the people in the house hear you run away."

When they heard Boss Qiao's words, the three people who were looking around withdrew their gazes, nodded and said softly, "Yes!" They felt that Boss Qiao was right, and when they got the money, If you don't have the kind of yard you want, why envy others.

After a quarter of an hour, the four of them touched the outside of Gu Lang's study, looking at Gu Lang who was reading quietly in the study, his face was full of unstoppable surprise, as if he had seen a large sum of money The money is in hand.

Boss Qiao stared at the study room with a look of sickness on his face, was it a pale man coughing twice, his hands were sweating with tension.

"Are we moving now?" A low voice asked.

Boss Qiao stared at the people inside for a moment, tried to let go of his palms, nodded and replied, "Yeah."

Boss Qiao, who followed behind, watched them bind people so smoothly, he couldn't help sighing in relief, straightened up and walked into the door.

At this time, Gu Lang was tied to a chair with ropes by the intruders who suddenly broke in. His eyes calmly swept across the four masked kidnappers present, and there was no panic on his face. He looked as if the person being tied was not him but someone else.

After Gu Lang watched the four people in front of him, he finally fixed his gaze on the front, vaguely the leader of them, Boss Qiao, and said slowly, "Who are you? What's the purpose of coming here?"

Boss Qiao looked at Gu Lang, who was not at all nervous, and gradually felt a little distorted in his heart. Finally, he couldn't hold back and said, "I'm asking you a question now, if you are honest If you answer us truthfully, we will let you go. If you are not honest, I will kill you now!"

After finishing speaking, Boss Qiao took out a sharp dagger from his sleeve and aimed it straight at Gu Lang's neck.

Gu Lang lowered his head and glanced at the dagger on his neck, and then he could not see the appearance in front of him, but he could hear the kidnapper by a woman, and nodded lightly, " Okay, say it."

Boss Qiao lowered her head and approached the man in front of her, her voice was a little bit of excitement that she couldn't contain herself, "Where are the land deeds for your original shops? What's the recipe for jelly?"

Gu Lang raised his eyes to look at the person who threatened him, something flashed in his eyes, he was silent for a while, he did not say what she wanted as Boss Qiao wished, but some He asked suspiciously: "How do you know that there are still land deeds left in my house? After all, those shops have been divided up by others after our house was destroyed."

There was a flash of panic in Boss Qiao's eyes, but then he realized that the man in front of him didn't know who he was at all, so he didn't need to panic so much.

Boss Qiao looked down at Gu Lang who was sitting, took the dagger in his hand closer to him, and threatened with a vicious voice: "You have so much nonsense from there, I want You can say whatever you want, not for you to ask me. You say so much nonsense, believe it or not, I will first abolish your hands and feet, and then force you to say it. "

Feeling the stinging pain in the neck, and something warm running down the neck, Gu Lang looked at the masked man in front of him, his eyes darkened, and the corners of his lips slowly raised, With a bit of bewitching in his tone, he asked: "Since you know that jelly makes money, haven't you thought about why it has been so long, and only a helpless little brother like Chen Xing can make jelly?"

After meeting Gu Lang's cold eyes that seemed to see through everything, the panic in her heart expanded a little bit, and the knife pressed on his neck unconsciously tightened a little, and said in a vicious voice: "Do you want to? say what?"

Gu Lang did not seem to feel the threat on his neck, and sighed softly, "I like stupid people because they are easy to fool, but I don't like to be smart idiots, because that would really look ridiculous!"

"You!" Hearing Gu Lang mocking himself, Boss Qiao was about to deal with him ruthlessly. Who knew that at this moment, there were suddenly a few exclamations from the side. Looking at it in reflection, I saw a few shadows coming through the window, but they rushed towards them at a very fast speed.

Boss Qiao's eyes widened, just as he was about to turn back to take Gu Lang as a hostage, his hand hurt, and the knife fell to the ground, followed by a sharp pain in his abdomen, and he was kicked out. At that moment, Boss Joe felt that he was finished.

In less than half an hour, the situation in the room has been reversed. The kidnappers who were arrogant before were tied to the rope and forced to kneel on the ground. The man who had just been tied to the chair was rubbing his loose arm, coughed softly, and then took out a hand towel and pressed the bleeding part of his neck.

Gu Lang wiped the blood on his neck, took the blood-stained towel to his eyes and glanced at it, looking at the small amount of blood on it, sarcastically raised the corners of his mouth, and then his eyes turned Ling, looked at the people who were kneeling on the ground.

"Let me see who they are!"

With Gu Lang's order, the people standing next to the thief, in their struggle, swiftly tore off the face towel from their faces,

Looking at the only woman among them, Gu Lang squinted slightly, looked at it for a long time, and then smiled slowly, "So it's you, Boss Qiao!"

Boss Qiao's heart skipped a beat, he raised his head abruptly and looked straight at Gu Lang, and immediately lowered his head after meeting his indifferent gaze, his heart beating thumping As if he was about to jump out of his chest.

Gu Lang looked at her, walked over slowly, and finally stood in front of her, "Tell me, how did you know those land deeds are still in my hands?"

Boss Joe looked at the plain white satin vamp that suddenly appeared in front of him, clenched his teeth hard, and didn't intend to say anything.

Gu Lang couldn't see her face, but when he saw her gesture, he understood her plan, the smile on his face gradually faded, and then he said condescendingly: "Since you I don't want to say it, that's it."

Boss Qiao didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Gu Lang coolly continue.

"It's a little troublesome if I want to know about it. It makes no difference if you say it or not."

After saying these words, Gu Lang seemed to have lost interest, he slowly retreated to the back and sat on the chair, and said coldly: "Take them to the government and let the government come over there. deal with."

When I heard Gu Lang's words, except for Boss Qiao, the other three people were very pleasantly surprised. As long as lynching is not used here, after they enter the cell, as long as they give the yamen a little favor, they will be very happy. coming out soon.

& nbsp; Let's get in!"

Gu Lang looked at her gritted teeth and trembling all over, and said softly: "Why? You maliciously broke into the house and even tried to hurt me. I sent you to the yamen, which is only right and proper. thing."

Boss Joe looked at his calm appearance, and suddenly remembered that the expression on this man's face had not changed since they entered the room, not even the slightest panic , as if their actions were just a matter of innocence, and they posed no pressure on his threat.

The unprovoked Boss Qiao trembled more and more severely, she saw nothing in his eyes, and felt that she was like a bug that could only be pinched to death in front of this person.

A picture suddenly flashed in Boss Qiao's mind. The first time she felt jealous of Chen Xing was when she saw the booming business of his stall, and the second time was when she saw those yamen queuing up Time. She was thinking at the time that, with her relationship with Lai Jiu, she would also enshrine those officials as uncles. And Chen Xing, a helpless little brother, why should the officials queue up obediently? Now that I think about it, it's not because of anything else, but because that brother has a bigger backer behind him.

I originally thought of Boss Qiao, who would definitely be scolded after entering the cell because of the loss of Lai Jiu's backer, but now I finally want to understand the source of her fear, and understand why she has since entered the prison After visiting this house and seeing so many unreasonable sights, the reason for the panic started.

There's nothing bad about it, just let me go this time! I won't dare next time, just let me go!"

Gu Lang looked at the crying woman with pear blossoms and rain in front of him, and felt that she was really outstanding in her acting skills, but unfortunately she was still a little short. He slowly got up, came to the woman again, and asked again, "Tell me, how did you know the title deed is with me?"

Boss Qiao immediately stopped his tears, looked at the man in front of him with red eyes and said: "It's Mr. Chen, he told me! When the Gu family was down, he and several other families Let's loot a lot of your family's property together."

Gu Lang lowered his eyes and looked at the woman under his feet, the expression on his face did not change at all, as if he was not surprised at all, "I see."

Boss Qiao thought she had been let go, and immediately showed a happy look on her face, and then heard the man in front of her say: "Send them to the yamen!" The smile on her face changed. He froze in an instant, his eyes widened, and he stared at the man in front of him, as if he couldn't believe what he heard.

Until someone came to take her off, Boss Qiao struggled frantically and shouted: "Didn't you promise to let me go? What are you doing? Why are you doing this? Do?"

Gu Lang seemed to be stimulated by her harsh voice, frowned slightly, and said slowly: "Twice."

Boss Qiao was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding.

Gu Lang continued without hesitation: "The last time I threw the kitchen knife was once, and this time I kidnapped me once. Actually, you wanted to kill us both times, right?"

Boss Qiao heard his words and wanted to defend himself again, but Gu Lang waved his hand and the people next to him blocked his mouth.

Gu Lang looked at the woman who was twisted into a maggot, and the man next to her who was staring at her in disbelief, and said lightly: "So, I really don't like fools pretending to be smart."

After saying this, Gu Lang continued towards the person dragging them: "Take care of it and don't let Chen Xing find out."

"Yes."

Soon, as the group of people left, the small study returned to quiet again, and Gu Lang stood there thoughtfully, and quickly sneered, gently He murmured: "I originally wanted to let you go for the sake of Chen Xing you sent."

When Chen Xing finished selling things and came back happily, when he saw Gu Lang who came to greet them, he saw the abnormality on his neck at first sight, and he looked at him with some worry He, "What's wrong with your neck?"

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's concerned eyes, touched his neck, and said softly, "It's alright, I just accidentally poked it when I was at home today."

The worry in Chen Xing's eyes was even worse. : "Then I will cook the dishes a little at night, so you can digest it better."

"Okay." Gu Lang never objected to Chen Xing's words.

Qiu Jiu's face changed for a moment when he heard Gu Lang's words, then he cautiously peeped at Gu Lang's expressionless face, hesitating for a while and then said: "Young master, today is a different day. what happened?"

Gu Lang didn't answer his words, he just squinted at him, and his hair stood upright without any emotion.

Qiu Jiu shuddered, and immediately came to her senses, remembering that she had not reviewed Lang's words, she quickly recalled, frowned and said: "Today, there are a few local ruffians to entangle, want to Get some money from the booth, but in the end we all drove away, and they didn't take any advantage."

Hearing Qiu Jiu's words, Gu Lang nodded knowingly, it seems that the killing intent he saw in Boss Qiao's eyes today was not fake, that woman didn't leave her alive at all Intend.

Gu Lang lowered his eyes and sneered softly, then looked at Qiu Jiu who was standing beside him curiously looking at him, and opened his mouth slowly, satisfied with his Curious, "Four kidnappers broke in today."

undefinedQiu Jiugang was startled at first, but she quickly looked at Gu Lang, who was calm, as if nothing had happened, and suddenly realized that those people should not be getting any benefits, after all, this There were more than three of them living in the house. He breathed a sigh of relief and waited for his son's next order.

As expected, Gu Lang thought for a few seconds, then looked up at Qiu Jiu who was standing in front of him, and instructed: "I sent the four kidnappers to the prison, you go and let the officials exile them. Also, go check it out, after the defeat of our Gu family, how many things did the Chen family take advantage of the opportunity to scoop up, and I will liquidate them both secretly and secretly!"

"Yes!" Qiu Jiu accepted the task impassionedly, and was about to go out to do errands from the front, when he heard a humming sound from the window.

I just listened to the Qiu Jiu that Gu Lang encountered today, and immediately became nervous, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the direction of the sound.

Just as Qiu Jiu held her breath and listened to the sound that was getting closer and closer, when she was fully alert, she saw a pair of furry ears appearing behind the pillars, and then a pair of fluffy ears with a round The hairy head with eyes, when seeing Qiu Jiu, whispered a 'meow' towards him.

Seeing that the unidentified creature that appeared was a snowball, Qiu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, and his face instantly stretched, looking at the fluffy kitten at the door, subconsciously want to go over and hug him.

But Gu Lang was faster than Qiu Jiu. I saw that he came to Qiu Jiu's side at some point, staring at the kitten on the ground with a serious expression.

Then Qiu Jiu saw the poor kitten, frying gradually in front of his young master, from a distance it looked like a fluffy white ball. He sighed in his heart, feeling that his young master was simply too powerful.

Gu Lang looked at the kitten in front of him who had lived for so long, but still seemed to reject him. He frowned slightly, and he squatted down slowly. Under Jiu's incredible gaze, he slowly put his hand on the kitten's neck.

Qiu Jiu watched from the side. For the first time, he seemed at a loss. He looked at the kitten that was covered in frizz, but he was still in the same place, and his heart began to feel a little anxious.

Just as Qiu Jiu was weighing the possibility of letting his young master let go of the kitten, Chen Xing's voice suddenly came from outside the door,

"Gu Lang?!"

At the moment when Chen Xing made a sound, Gu Lang paused for a moment, then bent down as if nothing had happened, and picked up the kitten that dared not move on the ground, and then turned around. He smiled at Chen Xing, "Why did you come here?"

Chen Xing looked at the gentle smile on his face as always, then looked at the kitten in his arms, scratched his head, and said with some stumbling: "I'm ready, I'll call you guys Eat! I just didn't expect Snowball to be here too."

Speaking, Chen Xing looked at the kitten in Gu Lang's arms, a little doubt in his eyes, he clearly remembered that Xueqiu didn't like to be close to Gu Lang!

Perceiving Chen Xing's confused emotions, Gu Lang lowered his head and looked into his arms. Since he held it in his arms, he didn't dare to move, his eyes stared straight at Chen Xing The kitten, hooked the corners of his lips, "I didn't think of it either."

After Gu Lang said this, he raised his eyebrows slightly, then handed the cat in his arms to Chen Xing in front of him, and said lightly, "Hold it for you! I don't think it likes the way I hold it."

undefinedWhen Gu Lang said this, the kitten, which was like a fake cat in Gu Lang's arms, twisted its soft body and lost a head in Chen Xing's arms. Rong's **** was pointed in Gu Lang's direction.

Chen Xing looked at Xueqiu's actions and felt angry and funny. He always felt that Xueqiu did it on purpose. But then he felt a little strange. Xueqiu always looked soft on weekdays. Anyone could touch him. Why would he resist so much when he was in the hands of the gentle Gu Lang?

Chen Xing said this naturally.

After listening, Gu Lang looked at the pampered and arrogant kitten in his arms, and said softly: "Maybe I don't attract small animals very much!"

After finishing speaking, Gu Lang turned his gaze back to Chen Xing's confused face and smiled at him, "Didn't you say the food is ready? Oh no."

Chen Xing blinked and felt that the topic changed a bit suddenly, but he nodded and agreed with his proposal. Before leaving, he looked down at the kitten in his arms, patted its furry buttocks, and whispered, "You can't be so willful in the future, you have to get along well with the members of the family!"

Xueqiu let out a soft 'meow' and buried his head in Chen Xing's arms a little more, looking very aggrieved.

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's movements, and his eyes darkened a little when his eyes fell to the coquettish cat in Chen Xing's arms.

When it was time to eat, Gu Lang and Qiu Jiu realized that the fish soup, minced meat and tofu for today's dinner were all dishes that were easy to swallow, and even the rice was two or three points softer than usual. .

Seeing that Gu Lang tried a few mouthfuls without any discomfort, Chen Xing showed a bright smile, "How is it, is today's food delicious?"

Gu Lang nodded subconsciously when he heard this, and after a few seconds of silence, he continued, "What you made that day was delicious, but the one you made today is extraordinarily delicious."

The smile on Chen Xing's face became brighter and brighter. After all, the things he worked so hard to make have been recognized by the parties, and he felt very happy.

Looking at Chen Xing, who was about to laugh into a flower, and Gu Lang, who was looking at him with doting eyes, Qiu Jiu, who was sitting at the same table for dinner, couldn't help shivering , Shake off goose bumps all over.

When Qiu Jiu came back to his senses, he felt an unkind look, he turned his head and saw his son staring at him silently. Qiu Jiu shrank his neck silently.

Fortunately, Chen Xing rescued him in time, only to hear his voice trembling: "Gu Lang, the wound on your neck seems to be bleeding."

Gu Lang looked at the worried Chen Xing, the expression on his face did not change in the slightest, he reached out and touched his neck, smiled lightly, and said indifferently, "That's what happened just now. The blood has stopped now, and it will be fine when I go back and change a piece of gauze."

However, Chen Xing soon remembered that medicine in this era was underdeveloped, and Gu Lang was in poor health. The most important thing was that the weather was still hot, so he could not help but worry; "When you change the gauze , remember to give yourself some medicine, otherwise inflammation will be troublesome."

Gu Lang originally wanted to say that this was just a small wound. With two pieces of gauze, it would heal on its own. But after meeting Chen Xing's worried and uneasy eyes, his words turned into a soft sigh, "Okay."

Although, Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's eyes that lit up after listening to his words, and laughed.

Government.

Several officials were escorting four people in tattered clothes to the cell, and if you looked closely, you could see the bloodstains left by the execution on those people.

The two yamen who were sitting at the door chatting and eating peanuts immediately stood up when they saw several officials who came in, and said with some fear: "Captain!"

The leading official swept them up and down, looked at the sauerkraut and peanuts on their table that had not been sorted out, and said impatiently: "Okay, as long as you don't drink here, eat some I don't care about your things! Do you care if the matchmaker is there? Now there are four prisoners, one woman and three men, all of whom need to be put in the cells."

"Yes, yes." While the yamen responded like this, he looked beside the officials, and sure enough, he saw that even if he was embarrassed, he still showed a bit Charming Joe Boss.

The captain looked at him and shouted loudly: "Hurry up and open the door, don't dawdle here!"

"Yes, yes." The yamen dared not say anything more, took the key on his waist and opened the door of the cell in front of the door, followed by a stench from inside. come out.

These yamen seem to be used to it for a long time. They gently fanned their noses and continued to walk inside. First, they passed the prison cells, and they all looked numb. The prisoners also looked indifferent when they saw them coming in.

When an empty cell was found, the officers threw the three men in, and then dragged the only woman, Boss Joe, to continue inside.

Boss Qiao, who was barely able to stand after being pulled by the officials, looked at the seemingly endless corridor and dared not imagine what she would suffer. She regrets it very much now, she feels If she didn't dare to move that kind of thought, if she didn't move that kind of thought, she wouldn't be what she is now.

Just when Boss Qiao was remorseful for his actions, they had reached a small empty patio, and a woman in her early thirties was sitting leisurely on a chair and saw them coming Lifting his eyelids, he slowly stood up.

The team leader looked at the woman and said loudly: "Tube matchmaker, this is a new female prisoner, you should be optimistic."

The woman looked at Boss Qiao and didn't ask her what she had done. She nodded, and went straight to pull her open and walk behind the small door.

Boss Joe was pulled by him and staggered, and the shackles on her hands and feet prevented her from making any counterattacks, until her woman was roughly stuffed into a cell.

Being caught off guard, Boss Qiao fell to the ground, and his hands were scratched.

Boss Qiao waited for the woman with glaring eyes, only to hear the woman sneer and say contemptuously, "Why, do you think you can live so comfortably in peacetime after entering here?"

Faced with the woman's mean ridicule, Boss Qiao was stunned for a moment, and then lowered his head as if resigned.

The woman looked at her, and the mean smile at the corner of her mouth became stronger and stronger. She had never seen anyone who was disobedient to her. Even if you are not obedient now, you will be honest after a while.

Just as the matchmaker turned to leave this dirty place, she suddenly heard a strange female voice behind her, "Can you do me a favor?"

The author has something to say: these two days are not very good, and will be updated more tomorrow.

The new female prisoner was lying on the edge of the railing.

Seeing that the matchmaker was taking care of herself, Boss Qiao's embarrassed face immediately showed a pleasing look, and whispered: "Sir, can you send me a message?"

I am here to take care of you, not to be your servant girl here."

Boss Qiao's expression changed, and he looked at her and said: "Of course, the adults do not do such trivial things, but I am trapped here now, and there is really no way to ask the adults to help me this time. ."

Boss Qiao looked at her neither leaving nor saying to help him, suddenly Fuzhi thought of something, looked up at her and said with bright eyes: "Sir, please give me a few more minutes."

undefinedThe moment Boss Qiao noticed that he took out this golden leaf, a greedy look appeared in the eyes of the matchmaker, which made her breathe a sigh of relief. If you are greedy, you will have hope of helping yourself.

Thinking of this, Boss Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the matchmaker in front of him, handed the golden leaf out of the prison door, and said softly: "Sir, here I honor your things , please help me with a sentence."

The matchmaker first looked at the golden leaf, and then looked at the woman who could still see a bit of beauty even if she was in prison. She was silent for a moment, as if she was thinking Do you want to help her.

Lifting his eyelids, he said to the woman in the prison, "Tell me, what is the message?"

I was single, for fear that the person in front of me would ignore me if I said it was too late. "Sir, you help me bring a message to the master of the Chen family, and you said that I hope he will save me this time for the sake of serving him with all my heart and heart."

After finishing speaking, Boss Qiao thought of something, and continued to add: "Also, tell him that I still have his handle."

I'll bring it to you."

"Thank you sir, thank you sir!" Boss Qiao immediately showed an ecstatic look on his face, and couldn't stop thanking her.

The matchmaker gave her another deep look, turned and left the dark and damp place.

When the matchmaker left, the nervous Boss Qiao suddenly relaxed and sat down on the ground, praying that Mr. Chen could save her from the old love, even if he didn't Nostalgic, and for the sake of her last sentence, I will win her once.

said: "Sir, that new woman really asked me to pass the message for her."

Master Xu slowly put down the brush in his hand, looked up at the woman in front of him, and asked curiously, "Oh, what did she say?"

Master Xu looked at the golden leaf, stroked his beard, and laughed in a low voice, "It's kind of interesting, just wait for me to have a cup of tea."

The matchmaker did not dare to object, and after seeing Master Xu finish saying this, she took out a piece of white paper from the side and began to write on it, she could not understand but faintly Jojo could guess that what she wrote was what she just repeated.

Bar!"

"Yes." The matchmaker took the envelope, but stood there and didn't move, her eyes were looking at the golden leaf.

Keep it! You shouldn't let you run away in vain."

The matchmaker had a happy look on her face, but she said, "This is inappropriate, right?"

Master Xu waved his hand, as if he didn't want to continue entanglement, "Okay, this is what you deserve, hurry up! On the female prisoner's side, you still need to guard!"

"Yes, yes." The matchmaker stopped talking nonsense, grabbed the golden leaf and ran out.

Seeing the back of the matchmaker hurriedly leaving, Master Xu stroked his short beard and murmured, "That one is really predictable!"

The matchmaker took the letter written by Master Xu himself, and came to Chen's house with murmuring all the way, looking at the grand door in front of her, she couldn't help but whisper: "This Master Xu Could it be something to do with that woman, otherwise why would you write a letter for that woman in person?"

Therefore, the matchmaker, who bowed her head and thought, hadn't even come to their door. The Chen family's gatekeeper saw her. When she got close, she knew that she should be looking for them, so she went up to meet them and said with a smile: " Sir, what are you doing here in our house?"

His words interrupted the matchmaker's train of thought, and also made her come back to her senses instantly, and directly handed the letter in her hand, "This is given by a newly imprisoned female prisoner. , said it was to be handed over to Master Chen."

The gatekeeper looked at the letter in his hand and was obviously a little overwhelmed. But the matchmaker didn't give him a chance to ask questions. After handing over the things, she turned around and left. Anyway, her letter has been delivered, and the rest is none of her business.

Watching the back of the matchmaker who strode away, the gatekeeper looked at the letter in his hand, and finally scratched his hair in distress. He still decided to give this thing to the housekeeper to make it difficult!

In the room, Mrs. Chen, who was letting the little maids squeeze her shoulders and rub her legs, suddenly heard a housekeeper begging for an interview from outside.

Mrs. Chen thought about it for two seconds, and let the little girls around her back away, and then summoned the housekeeper to come in.

Yes. I don't know how to deal with it, so I came here to ask my wife's opinion."

When Mrs. Chen heard this, her originally sloppy face suddenly became serious, she quickly waved away the maids on the left and right, and waved at him: "Bring it here."

"Yes." The housekeeper was not pretentious, stepped forward and handed the letter directly to Mrs. Chen.

Mrs. Chen took the letter and was a little hesitant to open it at first. What if it cannot be restored? As a result, she saw that the seal of the letter was not sealed, and it was easy to restore, so she could no longer hesitate, and opened it directly and took out the letter inside.

The housekeeper was scratching his head and looking at it, curious about the content inside, but saw Madam Chen snorted coldly and cursed in a low voice: "That **** thinks beautifully!"

Mrs. Chen originally wanted to tear up the letter, as if nothing happened, but soon she didn't know what to think of, so she put the letter back in the original After sealing it up, I handed it to the housekeeper, "I haven't seen this letter."

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then he seemed to think of something, then nodded quickly and said, "I came here only to ask my wife about the expenses for this season."

Mrs. Chen curled her lips and was very satisfied with his knowledge.

Gu House.

In Gu Lang's study, Gu Lang was making plans for Chen Xing's next stage of literacy when he heard a knock on the door.

"Come in."

The next second the voice sounded, Qiu Jiu walked over, wearing a gray linen that couldn't get up, with a little ash on his face, and the whole person looked unremarkable .

Qiu Jiu walked to Gu Lang, who kept writing, and said softly, "Young Master, as you expected, that woman asked the guard in the prison to send her a letter to Chen's house."

"Oh, is it?" Gu Lang did not stop writing, and even became more and more smooth, "Did you send it in?"

"In."

"Very good."

Gu Lang received the last payment, looking at the ten words he wrote down, he felt extremely satisfied.

Qiu Jiu looked at the man in front of him, and couldn't help but ask: "Why does the son help her?" He felt that according to the son's character, he should kill her and let her survive Death cannot be.

Gu Lang raised his eyes to look at the subordinate in front of him, his handsome eyebrows were all alienated. He smiled softly, but added a bit of coolness, "How do you know I'm helping her?"

He helped the woman deliver the letter and asked the Chen family to rescue her, aren't you helping her?

Qiu Jiu looked at the son in front of him, even after following him for so long, he still couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

Xu Shi saw through Qiu Jiu's doubts, Gu Lang lowered his eyebrows slightly, and said softly: "If the Chen family saves her, then I am helping her. If the Chen family does not Save her, and treat her as a hidden danger, and find out that she happens to be in prison now, what do you think will happen to her?"

"Naturally it will speed up her disappearance!"

Qiu Jiu understood in an instant, and at the same time felt cold, looking at his son's eyes, always with a little awe. No matter how long he has been with his son, every time he realizes his son's calculations, he will feel his hair stand upright!

Gu Lang looked at Qiu Jiu who was admiring and looked at him in front of him, and gently hooked the corner of his lips. He has to do more than that.

Just when the atmosphere in the study was a little quiet and terrible, a cat meow suddenly came from the door, and then Chen Xing stuck his head out holding the snowball in his arms.

Chen Xing grabbed Snowball's little paw and waved it in Gu Lang's direction, smiling brightly: "We're having dinner!"

The corners of his lips became bigger and bigger, and he turned into the gentle and calm man he used to be.

Chen Xing stared at Gu Lang's face with a smile on his face, walked in slowly across the threshold, looked at him and asked, "What are you doing here? I thought I had finished the meal I can see you." As a result, when he brought the dishes to the dining room, he found that the people who were supposed to be waiting there were nowhere to be seen.

Gu Lang looked at the curiosity in Chen Xing's eyes, the smile on his face became more and more gentle, and said softly: "I'm here to copy the characters you want to recognize tomorrow, Qiu Jiu just has something to come over. tell me."

Hearing Gu Lang say this, Chen Xing nodded in understanding, but did not continue to ask, and said directly: "In this case, let's go eat! It's not good if it's cold for a while. already."

Gu Lang carefully pressed what he just wrote with a paperweight, then looked at Chen Xing who had been waiting for them, and walked with him towards the dining room.

undefinedGu Lang and Chen Xing walked towards the dining room together, he glanced sideways at the snowball held in Chen Xing's arms, and watched the little thing sleeping in Chen Xing's arms He looked comfortable, and a little bit of unhappiness gradually rose in his heart.

Gu Lang was silent for a few seconds, then asked casually, "Is this cat fat?"

Chen Xing, who had been thinking about things at first, heard Gu Lang's words, subconsciously swayed the kitten in his arms, and then said: "It seems that there is no How much fat, um, maybe a little more hair."

"Really?" Gu Lang doubted this.

Chen Xing patted the cat's buttocks of the kitten in his arms, and nodded hesitantly, "It should be! After all, it's just a kitten, and it's still growing."

Gu Lang glanced at Snowball, who was sleeping comfortably in his arms, nodded noncommittally, and continued: "Yes. If he still grows like this, he can lose weight. already."

Chen Xing felt that what Gu Lang said was a bit strange, but he didn't know there was a problem for a while, so he could only nodded blankly.

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing and couldn't help rubbing his head. He felt that if he ignored the cat in Chen Xing's arms, such a Chen Xing would be very cute.

Feeling Gu Lang's intimacy, Chen Xing's face turned red.

Qiu Jiu, who followed behind and was automatically ignored by the two, looked at the scene in front of him and shook his head, thinking that he should stay away from them, otherwise he would always feel that he was staying It seems superfluous here.

When I came to the dining room, it is no surprise that today's food is still some soft food that is easier to swallow. Since Gu Lang's neck was injured, Chen Xing has always cooked in this style, so the three people present are used to it.

When the three of them started to eat, Chen Xing seemed to remember something, and hesitantly said to Gu Lang who was serving food for himself: "I calculated what I earned during this time. Money, I want to rent a shop in a few days."

Gu Lang took the shrimp into Chen Xing's arms without hesitation, looked at Chen Xing with a hesitant face, and said strangely: "This is a good thing! Why, are you still here? What are you worried about?"

Chen Xing didn't expect that his little worry would be shattered by Gu Lang at once, he hesitated for a while, but still expressed his concerns, "But the stall I'm renting now doesn't have it yet. When it expires, if I do a new shop, I am afraid I will be too busy."

Gu Lang smiled when he heard the words, he thought it was a big deal, but he didn't think it was just such a trivial matter, he looked at Chen Xing and said softly: "It's okay, if it's a big deal, please ask more people. It's on sale, you can watch it. If you feel uneasy, I'll watch it for you when you invite someone."

Chen Xing felt that his proposal was feasible, and nodded in agreement.

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's appearance, gave him another chopstick and cabbage, and said lightly: "When you rent a shop, I will go with you, and I can also cook it for you. A staff officer."

Chen Xing originally wanted to refuse, after all, he knew that Gu Lang was not in good health, who knew that before he could speak, he heard the man in front of him speak, "I'll be outside. After staying here for so many years, I might be able to help you a little bit. Second, I also want to go out for a walk and stay in this mansion all day, I feel a little tired. "

Chen Xing looked at the serious man in front of him, swallowed the words he wanted to refuse, nodded and said, "Well, then let's go together." He will take Gu Lang everywhere. Turn around, maybe it can make him feel a little better.

"Come on, eat more of this fish, it's good for your health."

Gu Lang looked at the fish with chopsticks in his bowl that Chen Xing had picked up, looked at the white fish staring at his eyes, hesitated for a while but nodded, "Well ."

Chen Xing was happy and even more excited.

Qiu Jiu watched the interaction between his son and Chen Xing during dinner, and tried his best to disguise himself as an invisible person.

Chen House.

"Master, this is a letter sent from the yamen, saying that it is for the master!" The butler came to the study with the letter and handed the letter respectfully to the seat. Master Chen eating tea on the rocking chair.

"From the government?!"

Hearing the butler's words, Mr. Chen, who had been careless, immediately sat up straight, and even the expression on his face became serious, grabbed the letter and hurriedly opened it.

After reading the content quickly, Mr. Chen's stiff body relaxed a little, but then he couldn't hide his contempt. The woman he used to be a little more interesting, after all, they also It's just a little bit of love, who knows that he still wants to blackmail him now, he just doesn't know what it is!

Master Chen sneered, looked at the butler who was waiting beside him, and said softly, "Has anyone read this letter?"

Hearing this sharp question, the butler condensed in his heart, and then shook his head with some guilty conscience, denying: "No, the concierge will give this letter directly to the little one. The little one directly I got the master here, and I didn't go through the hands of a third person during this period."

When Master Chen heard what he said, he nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at him, lowered his voice and said: "You did a good job, I have some things for you to do next, You remember to do it properly and don't let others notice."

"Yes!" The butler looked serious and listened carefully to what Master Chen said next.

"The first one, you go and find out if there is a new female prisoner named Qiao Xin in the women's prison." Master Chen paused here.

The housekeeper was heartbroken, thinking that his master wanted him to get this woman out. After all, his master had a lot of affairs in the past!

!"

The housekeeper was stunned when he heard his master's request.

"Why, don't you understand?" Looking at the dazed butler, Master Chen said impatiently.

"No, no." Realizing what he was thinking, the housekeeper quickly shook his head, and immediately assured: "Master, I understand, I promise to finish this matter. ."

"Well." Seeing the housekeeper returning to normal, Master Chen nodded with satisfaction, and then continued, "There is a second thing."

The housekeeper immediately cheered up, pricked up his ears, and said cautiously: "Please ask the master."

"I still have a shop outside, you can take it back and rent it out and put the income into my private account."

In a few days.

Government.

In the dark and damp women's prison, Boss Qiao huddled in the corner expressionlessly, her face was numb, like a puppet that lost her soul, every day she stayed here, she got an extra point regret.

With the opening of the door, Boss Qiao seemed to suddenly come back to his senses, and his eyes appeared a bit bright.

After the door opened, not only the matchmaker who was responsible for delivering food and vegetables to them on weekdays, but also several tall yamen came in.

The matchmaker came to Boss Qiao's cell with a drooping face, and opened her cell door under the expectant gaze of Boss Qiao.

Boss Qiao moved his numb head, looking at the prison door that was about to open, as if his soul was suddenly injected, he rushed up, clawed on the door rail, and said eagerly: "Did someone come to save me, can I leave this ghost place!"

Looking at the crazy-looking Boss Qiao, the matchmaker gave her a pitying look, and said inexplicably, "You can go out."

Boss Joe, who heard the news, was overjoyed and couldn't tell the weirdness in her tone until she found out that she was taken by the officials who came in with the matchmaker The yoke roasted.

Boss Joe looked at the person in front of him in disbelief, guessed something, and said in a trembling voice, "What are you doing? Didn't you say you want to let me go?"

The official looked at Boss Qiao, who was similar to the mad woman in front of him, and sneered, "We are under the order of the adults to **** you to exile in the North!"

Boss Joe's eyes widened in disbelief, and he struggled frantically, "Impossible, you must be lying to me!" She would die if she went there! It's not true, it's not!

Looking at the noisy boss Qiao, the official took a rag and stuffed it into her mouth, then dragged her out forcefully, dragged her directly to the prison car, and with the rest Individuals travel to the Northland together for exile.

On the street, Chen Xing and Gu Lang were strolling leisurely.

Chen Xing felt that the hot weather was just right for shopping. Just when he wanted to ask Gu Lang what to buy and cook later, he saw several prison cars loaded with The prisoner drove in the direction of the city gate.

Chen Xing looked at the dirty prisoners in the prison car, couldn't help shaking his body, and said a little uncomfortable: "Are they going there? Are they going to execute the death penalty? "

Gu Lang raised his eyes and glanced coldly at the people on the prison car, focusing on the man who was gagged, and then looked at Chen Xing again, with a bit of a tone in his voice Joy, "I don't know, but looking at the direction is not where the execution will take place, maybe it's sent to exile?"

"Exile?"

Hearing Gu Lang say this word, Chen Xing's eyes were puzzled for the first time. He had heard this word in TV dramas before, but in his cognition Those prisoners were escorted to the past, but these prisoners not far away were obviously escorted in prison cars.

"What?" Gu Lang looked at the doubts in Chen Xing's eyes and asked thoughtfully.

Listening to Gu Lang's gentle voice, Chen Xing felt a little embarrassed when he thought about the problem he was struggling with just now.

Gu Lang looked at him, as if he had guessed what was on his mind, and continued in a low voice: "Is there something that makes it difficult for the stars to tell me? If that's the case, wouldn't that be too out of touch with me?"

undefinedWhen Chen Xing heard Gu Lang say this, he immediately became anxious, looked at him and said anxiously: "I don't, I just think my question is too stupid."

"I don't despise you." Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's anxious look, gently raised the corners of his lips, and said softly, "Who called you a star."

Hearing Chen Xing's words, Gu Lang smiled softly, looked up at the team that was gradually walking away, and said softly: "It is logical that they should all walk there, after all, that's the case. It's just punishment. It's just that the place of exile is hard, and these people may not survive there. Some county magistrates take pity on these prisoners, and they will let the prison carts take them for a ride until they leave the place under their jurisdiction and go to the place of exile. On the edge, these prison wagons are back."

!

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's tangled face, as if he had guessed what he was thinking, looked at him and asked, "But why are you still being so kind to them after you've been exiled? "

Gu Lang guessed, Chen Xing felt a little embarrassed, how could Gu Lang know everything. Although shy, he was very curious about the answer to this matter, so he looked at Gu Lang with a tangled face, waiting for his answer.

Gu Lang did not immediately answer the question just now, but looked at Chen Xing and asked, "Do you know how the previous dynasty was in power?"

How could Chen Xing know about this? So, he honestly shook his head in front of Gu Lang, and honestly expressed that he didn't know about it.

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing with a confused look, the curvature of the corners of his lips gradually deepened, and his eyes looked at not far away, as if recalling a long-term memory, he slowly opened his eyes mouth,

"The emperor of the previous dynasty was the uncle of the new emperor. The new emperor lost his father when he was young, so his uncle took the opportunity to take the throne. It's a pity that although the emperor grabbed the position, he did not take the responsibility of his Responsibility for position, doing things depends on preference, and even in the imperial court, partisans are allowed to be relatives. As a result, there is a situation of collusion between top and bottom, and corrupt officials are rampant. If they do not join forces with them, or even want to overthrow them, they will mutual Collusion and frame-up sent his family into exile."

When Chen Xing heard Gu Lang say this, a conjecture gradually emerged in his mind.

As expected, Gu Lang continued: "There are local parents who sympathize with them, but dare not help them blatantly, so they can only help them maintain their final dignity in this way, hoping that they will be able to Be better in the days to come.

And the rule of sending them off in prison cars has been kept until now, but now it is not for them to survive, but to show the benevolence and righteousness of the local parents and officials. "

It's worth noting that these criminals now enjoy the same treatment as those good officials.

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's distressed expression, put away the unpredictable expression on his face, and returned to the warm and jade-like appearance of the past, reaching out and rubbing him With a smile on his head, he said, "Okay, don't think too much about it, it's all in the past. The new emperor is a benevolent ruler, and under his governance, this country will get better and better!"

Seeing Chen Xing and coaxing, Gu Lang also showed a smile, and then said: "Didn't you say you want to go to the shop? Let's find someone first, he should know about the rentals nearby information."

"Well." Chen Xing had no objection to Gu Lang's arrangement. After all, he had not been here for a long time, and he knew far less than Gu Lang. Chen Xing left the place side by side and walked in the direction Gu Lang said.

None of them noticed that the dirty and numb woman who was in a corner of the prison car suddenly looked in their direction. After seeing Gu Lang's appearance clearly, Excitedly, he rushed to the edge of the prison car, and stretched out his hand as if trying to grab Gu Lang.

Said: "Give me a little quiet! Don't make any noises, or I will show you a good look."

Boss Qiao was slapped with a whip while covering himself. At this time, his hot and painful hand looked at the official who was staring at him threateningly, and nodded desperately.

The officer looked at her cowardly, with a satisfied expression on her face, spit and put away the whip in her hand, and went to chat with her colleagues with her hands behind her back. .

Boss Qiao looked at the officials who had left, and re-looked at the direction where Gu Lang and the others were standing just now, only to see that there was nothing but an empty bamboo basket.

Boss Qiao thought of the scene she saw just now, the handsome scholar and the handsome little brother were talking, the picture was as beautiful as a painting, and her tears fell unconsciously . At first, weeping softly, then weeping loudly, gradually becoming more and more heart-wrenching.

She was wrong! She was really wrong! She shouldn't have moved that greed in the first place. If she didn't move that greed, maybe she wouldn't be what she is now!

Boss Qiao cried heart-to-heart.

The officer with the whip in his hand glanced at the woman who had just been warned, and now made a noise, just about to raise the whip in his hand to teach her a lesson, when the officer beside him pulled.

The official looked at him and smiled jokingly: "Let her go, I won't cry anymore anyway."

The officer holding the whip glanced at the person who was talking to him, then at the woman whose voice gradually became smaller, and put away the whip, "Yes, after all, you can't cry when you die."

Chen Xing followed Gu Lang away from the street full of shops and came to a community full of residents.

Looking at the alleys lined up in front of them and rushing to life, Chen Xing looked at a bare-ass child who ran over, and was a little curious about how the person Gu Lang said lived here.

When Chen Xing came back to his senses again, he saw Gu Lang, who was supposed to be standing next to him, who had reached the door of a courtyard in front of him, and gently knocked the door bolt .

After a while, a half-blind old man opened the door from the inside, looked at Gu Lang who was standing outside and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Gu Lang looked at the old man and said politely: "Old man, we want to rent a shop, so I came here to find out about it."

The old man glanced at the calm Gu Lang, then looked at Chen Xing curiously in the alley not far away, opened the door in front of him and let them in.

Chen Xing lifted his foot and walked in, Gu Lang quickly followed him in, and when he got inside, he realized that although the yard was small, it was very clean. A young man in his early twenties was sitting on a rocking chair and swaying slowly.

After Chen Xing and the others came in, the young man glanced at them lightly, then sat up slowly from the rocking chair, looked at them and said, "What are you doing here?"

"Rent."

The man raised his eyebrows, looked at Gu Lang who was talking, and continued: "What do you need? What is the price you can probably afford?"

Gu Lang immediately said what they had negotiated with the Gu family, "We need a shop with a kitchen that is easy to do business."

The man lowered his eyebrows and thought for a while, then raised his head to look at them again, and said in a low voice: "I know a few places like this, are you looking at the room now or make an appointment for a later time? God see?"

Gu Lang glanced at the curious Chen Xing and said directly: "Just today."

"Okay." You young man is also unequivocal, patted the dust that does not exist on the clothes, and directly led Chen Xing and the others towards the shops he mentioned.

Chen Xing watched him lead the way by himself, and didn't talk to them. He felt that he was very different from those intermediaries in his previous life, and he pulled Gu Lang's sleeve curiously. When he looked over curiously, he asked his curiosity, "Is this the way he usually shows people around the house?"

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's undisguised expression, how a person like him did business, smiled softly, and explained for him: "He is the This style, although it does not seem very reliable, can basically satisfy the employer as long as he is found."

Hearing Gu Lang's explanation, Chen Xing admired the man in front of him a little more. It was not easy to get the employer to come to the door and be satisfied with the work.

While Chen Xing and Gu Lang were talking, the man had brought them to the first store they wanted to see.

The man stopped, raised his chin, and said to the two following behind: "This is the first house."

"This is the first."

What about.

Maybe she saw that Chen Xing didn't react when she saw the store, the bag asked and laughed, looked at Chen Xing and said with interest: "Do you want to go in and have a look?"

Chen Xing turned his head to look at him, a bit of surprise in his eyes, he thought it would be best if he could go in and take a look.

In the opened store, I had a few words with the owner who guarded the store, and then I took back a bunch of keys and helped them open the door in front of them.

undefinedThere is only one thing that makes Chen Xing feel a little embarrassed, that is, the place where the restaurant is located is too far away, there is no place for shopping nearby, and there are sporadic households. Even if Chen Xing wasn't worried about his cooking skills, he didn't feel that he could be a guest in a place like this.

That bag was also very patient in inquiring. After seeing Chen Xing nod, he directly took Chen Xing and the others to the second shop to be rented.

Chen Xing looked at the restaurant in front of him, which was at the end of the street, and seemed to be a few years old. He was worried that if he rented the shop, he would need to spend money to repair it.

Bao inquired about the ability to observe words and feelings. Seeing Chen Xing's hesitation, he smiled and said that he could go first and see if it would work.

Chen Xing nodded without hesitation, and followed him in with a glimmer of hope. He felt that if the furnishings inside were two or three floors newer than the outside, he would be able to accept it.

. He was a little curious about how the shop was so dilapidated, how it persisted until now.

Bao asked Chen Xing, who looked disappointed and curious, and explained kindly: "This shop has been around for about 40 years now. When I grow up, my children are not around, so I want to rent out the shop so that I can exchange some living expenses."

Speaking of this, the corner of Bao Quotuo's mouth raised a smile, and continued: "Of course, if someone wants to buy it, they are also willing."

Chen Xing heard this and asked instinctively, "How much do they want?"

The smile on Baotou's mouth deepened, and he continued: "Four hundred taels!"

Chen Xing took a deep breath, he felt that the price was too expensive for him, he could not afford it at all, and this shop was not worth that much.

Seems to understand what Chen Xing is thinking, and seems to have been questioned many times. After seeing the shock on Chen Xing's face, Bao Tuo said directly: "Although this shop looks old , but it is in a good location, if you buy it and renovate it, it will be a good place for family heirlooms."

Chen Xing understood, this is called a premium, but he has no money now, so he looked at the man in front of him who seemed to be a good talker, and asked a little embarrassedly: "We can go to see it again. Do you see anything else?"

"Of course."

Bao asked without the slightest impatience in his eyes, and took them to another two-story restaurant for rent across the street.

Looking at the brand new sign at the door, Chen Xing was a little moved. When he went in and saw the brand new decoration inside the shop, the clean kitchen, and the small yard with the patio, he wanted even more On the spot and the package to inquire and settle down.

Bao asked, leaning leisurely by the door, looking at the excited Chen Xing, knowing that he must be very satisfied, so when he finished reading, he said: "Do you like this little boy?"

Chen Xing nodded, calculated his savings, and felt that if he could accept it, he gritted his teeth and rented it. Looking at the man in front of him, he asked directly, "I am very satisfied with this place. How is the rent calculated here?"

Bao asked and laughed, revealing his big white teeth, and quickly said: "Fifteen or two a month."

Baotou, who has always been very talkative, shrugged, spread his hands, and said helplessly: "Sorry, this is not what I ordered, this is the minimum amount given by the seller. If it goes lower , there won't be any relief over there. And as you can see, the decorations here are all new, and if the original owner can't keep up, it's absolutely impossible to let it go."

Chen Xing was a little disappointed when he heard that there was no room for price reduction. He felt that he really liked this shop, but he really didn't have that much money.

Bao inquired and didn't speak, just watched quietly, waiting for Chen Xing to make a decision.

Just as Chen Xing struggled for a long time, he still wanted to give up this shop and chose the old shop just now, when suddenly the bag next to him inquired as if he had thought of something, slapped his hand, and said with some annoyance :

"By the way, I came to a new shop yesterday. It used to make food, but it was not two floors, but one floor. Would you like to take a look? I think that It might be right for you, both in terms of price and location."

Seeing that things took a turn for the worse, Chen Xing's eyes lit up all of a sudden, looked at him and nodded, and said excitedly, "I'm going to have a look."

Gu Lang, who had been following Chen Xing without saying a word, and then heard that Bao Da heard that there was another shop, glanced at him lightly, and there was a hint of unintelligible emotion in his eyes.

After Chen Xing nodded, Bao Quoting took them to the next street and came to the last shop.

Chen Xing looked at this familiar street, there was a somewhat familiar store door, and said with some doubts: "I remember that this store was not operated not long ago? Why did you take it so quickly? Are you renting out?"

Chen Xing still remembers the vicious appearance of the proprietress of the shop. Why did she disappear in just a few days, not only did the proprietress disappear, but even the shop had to be replaced.

Bao asked when he heard his question, his eyes flickered, he quickly regained his peaceful smile, and explained: "I heard that something happened to the original owner, and he is now locked in So the original owner here wants to find a new tenant."

Chen Xing was a little shocked when he heard that the tenant had committed a crime, and then he heard that the main house was urgently renting, and began to be a little worried. He was worried that if he rented this shop, he would encounter any trouble , after all, he just wants to do business honestly, but he doesn't want to get involved in any trouble.

It is about the peace of his shop in the future, Chen Xing looked at the bag and asked directly, with a cautious tone, "It won't be a problem if this shop is rented?"

The business below is all innocent. If there is a problem, you can find me when the time comes. No one in this city knows about me."

Chen Xing still felt a little strange, but Gu Lang, who had been silent next to him, also opened his mouth and persuaded: "Why don't we go and have a look first, if it is suitable, we can actually rent it. After all, this deed is to be done by the government, and if something goes wrong, justice can be sought."

Gu Lang didn't speak much all the way, but suddenly he made a sound, causing Chen Xing and Bao Qun beside him to look in his direction.

Chen Xing listened to Gu Lang's words, and his heart settled down. He felt that what Gu Lang said was very reasonable. Since there is evidence from the government, there is nothing to worry about. He turned his head to look at the bag next to him and asked, "If you have trouble, take me in and see."

Bao Tu Ting glanced at Gu Lang. At first, he only thought that this scholar-like man didn't understand anything, so he kept silent. Who would have thought that if he didn't open his mouth, it would be such a direct stab at the point when he opened his mouth, which made him a little impressed.

Bao Toutou thought about it for a while, and soon came back to his senses, met Chen Xing's expectant eyes, and returned a smile, "Of course it is possible." After speaking, he went to find the key, Opened the shop in front of him.

After entering, Chen Xing took a good look at the store, and saw that the four sets of tables, chairs and benches were placed there intact, and the kitchen utensils in the back kitchen were quite a lot. If they wanted to, they could cook up a few dishes right now.

And Baotou also said that these things in the main house are useless, so if Chen Xing wants to rent this shop, these things will be reserved for him.

What surprised Chen Xing even more was that he brought a yard with ginkgo trees and three small rooms. Can be used as a box.

Chen Xing felt very satisfied after reading it. Although there was no second floor, the three small rooms completely filled his vacancies. He even thought that if he cleaned up the backyard and the three rooms Yes, the effect is definitely better.

Thinking of what Baoda had heard before they came in, Chen Xing turned to look at Bao, who was standing beside him, and asked directly, "How can I rent it here?"

Bao asked and stretched out his palm, spread it out in front of him, made a five, and then in Chen Xing's bright eyes, said softly: "The owner of the rental said, as long as you can give me a month The security deposit, pay the rent for another three months, and then rent for three or three months, even if you have five taels of silver a month."

Chen Xing's eyes lit up instantly. The price he said was not only within his tolerance, but the money he asked for happened to be the savings he had saved during this period. Thinking of this, he immediately made a final decision: "Okay, I rented it."

Seeing that Chen Xing made a decision so quickly, and I am very happy to inquire about the package that will soon receive a sum of money.

Chen Xing and Bao inquired about when they agreed to go to the government to sign a contract, and after giving him fifty cents for showing them the house this time, they separated.

On the way back, Chen Xing still sighed a little. Although he would have to ask Bao for a hundred cents for the rest of the payment in a few days, he was very efficient and let him find it so quickly. Good shop. However, soon he was a little worried about preparing for the opening.

"What's the matter?" Gu Lang, who was next to him, looked at a cheap one. Chen Xing, who should be happy, frowned, looked rather worried, and asked a little puzzled.

Chen Xing turned his head to look at him, and directly stated his concerns, "I was just thinking, next I should go there to find someone to decorate the shop, and hiring work is also a big problem. At that time, there will be a lot of things to do in the store, so I can't let Qiu Jiu and I have more than two people, but we have to take care of cheating and cheating, and it will be a big trouble at that time."

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's wrinkled face due to distress, smiled softly, and in his puzzled eyes, he suggested in a low voice: "Actually, when you have these questions You can ask Bao to find out, although he charges a little expensive, but the price he can get is extraordinarily fair."

Chen Xing was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Gu Lang, and said suspiciously: "Did he say he was not in charge of renting the house? Why does he take care of other things?"

Gu Lang seemed to think that Chen Xing, who was so ignorant, was cute, the smile on the corner of his mouth grew wider, and he continued: "Of course not all, people who rent houses don't come every day, if not How can he live so well with other side jobs. So he is slightly involved in other things related to renting a house."

Chen Xing was stunned, and said with some admiration: "He really has a brain!"

"That's why he has the qualifications to be willful!" Gu Lang added, "After all, if he doesn't have these skills, how can buyers automatically come to him?"

Chen Xing nodded in agreement when he heard what he said.

"So, just find him, and your troubles will be relieved. Next, you only need to think about how to manage your new store." Gu Lang reminded very gently road.

"Hmmm." Chen Xing nodded obediently, then as if thinking of something, he looked at Gu Lang with bright eyes and said, "It's been hard for you to accompany me out today, wait a moment. Let's go to the vegetable market to buy some food, and we'll have a good meal when we get home."

Chen Xing thought that today was so smooth that it didn't take much time, then he still had a lot of time to use when he went back, so he twisted his fingers and said: "Well, there are still many more today. Time, we can slowly make a big meal. Later, I will make a braised pork, I will cook it for a while, the stew will be rotten..."

Gu Lang listened to Chen Xing pondering his plans, his eyes were always very gentle, and the corners of his mouth always had a soft arc.

The two walked side by side towards the vegetable market, looking like a young couple who lived through life.

Chen Family.

Master Chen is standing in the garden, teasing the new favorite in the bird cage hanging on the book, and he is full of laziness. Next to him was a young and beautiful little maid holding a tray on which he placed the bird food he needed.

Just when Mr. Chen was having fun with the birds, the butler walked in slowly, first bowed to Mr. Chen, and then said: "Master, what you ordered, I've done it."

Hearing what he said, Teacher Chen stopped the movement in his hand, turned his head to look in his direction, looked at his serious face, and put the bird-like thing in his hand on the little girl's On the tray, he waved at her to let her down.

"Yes." The housekeeper told Mr. Chen about today's events with a serious face, "I found out that there was indeed a female prisoner named Qiao Xin in the women's prison a few days ago, and I used some means to make They aggravated her sentence and asked them to exile her. Today is the day they exiled the prisoners. I went to the scene specially to confirm that the woman was also among the prisoners under escort. Presumably, she will not be able to come back in the future. "

Hearing the butler say this, Mr. Chen curled his lips, obviously very happy, and praised him: "Well done." The butler's face showed some gratitude, Then he said, "That's right, sir. I have already taken back that shop, and I have asked my nephew to help sublet it out. It is estimated that I will receive the rent in a few days."

Hearing this, the smile on Mr. Chen's face became more and more prosperous. He patted the butler on the shoulder and said happily: "I'm still very relieved when you do things."

Master Chen took back his hand, put his back behind him, and asked casually, "I heard that your brother is looking for something to do recently?"

The housekeeper's eyes lit up when he heard what Mr. Chen said, and he couldn't wait to say: "Yes, sir, I'm sorry, sir. My unworthy brother is really looking for something to do recently."

Master Chen stroked his beard and continued: "It just so happened that there was a vacancy in the grain store some time ago, you can ask your brother to come and take a look."

"Yes, yes, thank you for your praise. It's really a good fortune for the young man to do things for the master."

"Okay, as long as you do things well, I will not treat you badly." Master Chen patted his shoulder and promised with a smile.

Don't blame me for being cruel, who told you to be so ignorant?"

Chen Xing and Gu Lang bought a bunch of vegetables and went back, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw Qiu Jiu waiting at the door.

Looking at Qiu Jiuyi as if he had something to tell Gu Lang, he was no longer here to interfere with them, and said hello as if putting the dishes in his hand back into the kitchen.

Gu Lang glanced at Qiu Jiu and asked Qiu Jiu to wait for him for a while. He followed Chen Xing to the kitchen to put the dishes. How to arrange his small shop, after coming back to cook later, he returned to the study slowly.

Gu Lang swept the gray layer on his body before entering the room, and then sat on the seat, looking at Qiu Jiu who had been waiting since just now, said lightly: "What's the matter? Just say it."

"Yes." Qiu Jiu responded, then took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and carefully handed it to Gu Lang, "Sir, this is what we found."

Gu Lang took the letter from his hand and glanced at it, then sneered and said sarcastically: "Then the Chen family is not greedy, but the Zhao family has the majority."

Qiu Jiu raised his head quietly, looked at his son's expression, and seeing that he didn't seem to be angry, he said softly: "Master, since those families have swallowed so many things, So what do we do next?"

Gu Lang hooked the corners of his lips, and the corners of his mouth showed a bit of irony, and said in a cold tone: "Naturally, he will spit out as much as he eats, and I will make them I spit it out little by little!"

Qiu Jiu's heart froze, and he cupped his hands and replied, "Yes."

Gu Lang looked down at the letter paper in his hand, flicked it lightly, and continued: "Go and check, what is the relationship between this Zhao family and the original county magistrate."

Although Qiu Jiu felt that Gu Lang's order was somewhat inexplicable, he still obeyed.

After leading Qiu Jiu with the order to leave, Gu Lang glanced at the things in his hand again, then slowly got up and took down a thick dictionary from the bookshelf.

The dictionary was opened, but it was empty inside, and a lot of similar paper had already been put in it, but seeing that it was already a few years old, Gu Lang glanced casually, then put his hand Put the new chapter in here and close it again.

After doing all this, Gu Lang just looked at the sky outside the window and sighed helplessly, "I wanted to slow down, who would have known that you were so impatient, and now I can't blame me."

After I had the remainder, I happily took it back.

Then took out a pen and paper on the table, and began to draw the layout of his new store according to his own ideas. When the revision was finished, he looked at the painting that made him extremely satisfied. After thinking about it, he directly picked it up and prepared to go to Gu Lang to help him take a look and let him give him some advice.

When Chen Xing walked to the door, he saw Snowball lying under the porch basking in the sun at a glance. He took three steps and took two steps to come to Snowball, picked him up, and said happily : "Let's go, let's find Gu Lang together, you want to see him too!"

Chen Xing responded with two dissatisfied cat calls, "Meow~meow!"

Chen Xing heard the snowball meowing in his arms, picked up one of its paws, looked down at him and said happily: "Are you happy too!"

Chen Xing rubbed its hairy head, watched it educate him earnestly: "Gu Lang is a good person, you will like him after spending time with him."

Snowball meowed again and lost the ability to argue. It's just a kitten, why should it endure so much?

Chen Xing carried Xueqiu all the way towards Gu Lang's study. In fact, he was also a little puzzled, why Xueqiu was so afraid of Gu Lang? Don't they all say that small animals are the easiest to feel good and evil? Gu Lang is such a good person, why can't Xueqiu feel it?

Chen Xing tilted his head, expressing that he was very confused about this matter.

undefinedBefore entering the door, considering that Xueqiu and Gu Lang were at odds, he didn't force Xueqiu to enter, but placed it on the ground and warned, "Play by yourself for a while, and I won't accompany you."

Chen Xing rubbed its hairy head again, got up and entered the room.

After Chen Xing went in, he found that Qiu Jiu, who had been talking to Gu Lang since they came back, was still here. He looked at the two who seemed to be discussing things with some hesitation. Should we come back later.

When Chen Xing hesitated, Gu Lang raised his head and looked straight in his direction, and set him in place all of a sudden, Chen Xing felt uncomfortable. Before, he opened his mouth slowly, "Is something wrong?"

Chen Xing glanced at Qiu Jiu, then at Gu Lang who stood up, and whispered: "I want you to help me look at the design draft of the restaurant, but don't worry, you all want If I'm busy, I'll come back later."

Gu Lang glanced at Qiu Jiu and said softly: "No problem, the matter between me and Qiu Jiu is over, he is also going to help you clean the ingredients, isn't it? Did you say you're going to make a lot of dishes tonight?"

Hearing Gu Lang say this, Chen Xing felt a little embarrassed.

Qiu Jiu listened to his young master's words, and then looked at Chen Xing, who was embarrassed over there. He originally received information and came back to report to the young master. Chen Xing said:

"Oh, yes, yes, I have finished all the things I want to tell you. I don't know what dishes Chen Xing is going to clean up. I'll go and clean them up now. It's good to do it, and it will save you wasting time."

Chen Xing struggled for a while, but told Qiu Jiu the dishes he was going to make today, and asked him to help clean it up first, and soak some that needed to be foamed in advance, so that they could eat earlier too It's time for dinner.

After Qiu Jiu understood what he needed to do and wrote down the things he needed to get out of, Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing and said gently: "Okay, now let's see, You made those preparations for your own store."

Hearing Gu Lang's slightly joking, but not annoying words, Chen Xing blushed, and then took out the sketches he just drew in the room and placed them in Gu Lang's In front of him, there was a bit of shyness in his tone: "Well, I'm not good at drawing, so don't laugh at me!"

Gu Lang just wanted to say no, but he looked down and saw that Chen Xing's so-called sketch was actually a stick figure. Although he could roughly see what it was, it was too Too easy.

Chen Xing felt that he couldn't make out what he was drawing. At this time, when he saw Gu Lang trying to laugh or not, trying to hold back his smile, he gave up his shoulders and looked at Gu Lang. Said: "If you want to laugh, just laugh, it's not good for your body to hold back."

Hearing Chen Xing say this, Gu Lang burst out laughing, then looked at Chen Xing who was depressed next to him, lightly touched his head with his hand, and comforted: "Full of Childlike, um, easy to understand."

Chen Xing turned to look at Gu Lang, his eyes full of resentment.

With Chen Xing's eyes, Gu Lang couldn't hold on any longer, he looked away from the blue and white porcelain not far away, trying to change the subject: "Okay. , didn't you say you want me to help you see how the shop is decorated?"

Speaking, Gu Lang turned his eyes back and put his eyes back on the drawing paper, pointing to the outline of the restaurant outlined in ink on it, and the red vermilion pen on it. I wrote the second layer of decoration, and said softly: "Are these all the things you want to add? It looks different from the things in other stores. You want to make the counter wider, are you planning to put something? "

Chen Xing was still ashamed of being ridiculed for his painting skills. At this time, when he heard Gu Lang's words, his eyes lit up. He didn't expect Gu Lang to see his intention, so he His interest was also a little higher, and the drawing he pointed to said:

"Well, I plan to get some wine or other drinks on it, and guests can see it at a glance when they come in. If they need to order directly. Also, here, I'm going to put the menu price Hang it up, so that customers can see the price here at a glance, so that even if the decoration in the store is done, they will not feel that they can't afford it, and they will come in to spend."

Chen Xing didn't need to pay attention to these before, and he never paid attention to it. He knew this because he had a cousin who wanted to open a store for his dream. After talking about it for a long time, he barely remembered some, but now it seems that he remembers too little.

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing, who had just been coaxed just now, but at this moment he began to feel lost again, he hesitated for a while, but did not touch his head, just pointed to a small table next to him, and continued Asked, "What is this for?"

Chen Xing was diverted all of a sudden, and he explained to Gu Lang carefully about the role of that thing in the future.

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing, who had regained his vitality, nodded with satisfaction, and then immediately threw himself into the discussion with Chen Xing.

When Chen Xing explained everything on his drawing, he looked at Gu Lang excitedly, and said happily: "Well, do you think there are still things that need to be modified? ?"

Gu Lang looked at the sketch-like design, pondered for a while, and finally pointed to a few places and said to Chen Xing: "Look, this place, this place, if you want According to your arrangement, it may hinder the guests from entering and leaving. Moreover, if you set up this place like this, the front hall and backyard will be a bit chaotic, and it may be too busy at that time. "

Chen Xing listened to what Gu Lang said and felt that what he said made sense. After thinking about it for a while, he felt that he should change it. As if he had expected it, he handed one over to him.

Seeing Gu Lang who was well prepared, Chen Xing raised his eyes and smiled at him.

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's smile, reached out and touched his head, and returned a gentle smile to him.

The two smiled at each other, and the picture was very beautiful.

In one afternoon, with the help and advice of Gu Lang, Chen Xing completed his arrangement with confidence. In the end, Gu Lang personally took the pen and redrawn his sketch.

Chen Xing took the redrawn construction drawings, turned to look at Gu Lang next to him, and said happily, "Gu Lang, thank you."

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's smiling face, showing a gentle look, and said warmly: "Before you and me, there is no need to say thank you."

Chen Xing looked at Gu Lang staring at him, his eyes were gentle without the slightest aggressiveness, but it always made Chen Xing feel embarrassed, he looked away uncomfortably, Some stumbled and said: "Well, I think this arrangement is enough. If there is nothing else, I will cook first. For the next thing, we will wait until we find a master to decorate it later."

Gu Lang nodded.

After Gu Lang nodded, Chen Xing suddenly realized a problem, that is, Gu Lang never seemed to oppose him and let him do anything. Thinking of this, Chen Xing suddenly felt that Gu Lang seemed a little too kind to him.

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing who had just said that he was going to cook, and then started to be in a daze, he flipped his head helplessly, and looked at him angrily when he was in pain At that time, he said helplessly: "Didn't you say you want to cook? Why did you start to be stunned again?"

Chen Xing covered the head that was shot, looked at Gu Langjunmei's face, remembered the messy things he had just thought, and his face turned red all of a sudden. Then he ran out like a rabbit, and said as he ran, "You're right, I'll cook now."

Gu Lang's eyes kept following Chen Xing, until he stepped out of the door, he slowly retracted it, but before retracting his gaze, he still saw the one following Chen Xing The fluffy figure left behind.

Gu Lang sneered softly, his face was no longer as soft as when he was in front of Chen Xing, but when he looked down at the few pictures on the table that he and Chen Xing were integrated and drawn sketches, a smile appeared on the originally expressionless face.

, smiled awkwardly at him, "I'm fine, I just ran in a hurry just now."

Qiu Jiu didn't know if he believed it or not, he nodded at him without asking more, just looked at him and reminded him kindly: "Next time, run slower, it's still early. Come late for dinner."

Chen Xing nodded with a guilty conscience, thinking of how he almost fled just now, while annoyed, he warned himself that he should be more careful next time, so as not to show that stupid look again. , which made Gu Lang laugh for nothing.

Chen Xing made up his mind, and Chen Xing felt a lot more settled, and he was no longer tangled. He walked briskly towards the kitchen, preparing to show off his skills with today's ingredients. Today is a good day to celebrate!

Snowball stood outside the kitchen and looked at the two-legged beast inside, hesitated for a while but still didn't put his foot in, silently turned his head and left. In such a hot place, twolegs can stay, but cats and cats can't stay.

Chen Xing stared at Xueqiu, who flung his tail away leisurely from the corner of his eyes, smiled softly, and then lowered his head to prepare today's dinner.

It is said to be a big meal, in fact, it means that there are two more dishes than the three dishes and one soup they usually eat, but each of them is made by Chen Xing with his housekeeping skills. Nature is better than ever.

Looking at the braised lion head, steamed sweet-scented osmanthus fish, pork with plum and vegetable, three fresh vegetables with less oil, stir-fried cabbage, and the last dish of chicken stewed with mushrooms, Qiu Jiu couldn't bear it. Live the secretion of saliva. He felt that the dishes made by Chen Xing in the past were already fragrant enough, but he did not expect the dishes to be more fragrant today!

Gu Lang glanced at his unsatisfactory subordinates lightly, then turned his eyes to Chen Xing who looked very happy, raised the cup and said to him: "Today with tea On behalf of the wine, congratulations to the future Boss Chen's business is booming!"

Being so complimented by Gu Lang, a shyness appeared on Chen Xing's face, he raised the cup in his hand, and said to Gu Lang and Qiu Jiu: "In the future, our life will definitely change. The better it goes!"

undefinedQiu Jiu hurriedly raised the cup in his hand to clink with them.

When this part was over, Chen Xingcai looked at Qiu Jiu who couldn't wait and Gu Lang who was indifferent, and said happily: "Now, let's eat!"

Qiu Jiu cheered, took the lead, and moved towards his coveted Meicaikourou.

Gu Lang slowly picked up the braised lion head in front of him, and under Chen Xing's surprised gaze, he picked it up and put it into his bowl, looking at him softly, "You are the biggest contributor to this meal today. You should taste the food first."

Chen Xing came into contact with Gu Lang's gentle eyes, and he didn't know how to react for a while, so he could only respond softly, and then gave him a chopstick and fish meat, and quickly said: " You eat too!"

Gu Lang looked at the fish in the bowl, the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious, and the moonlight shone on his face, making his handsome face look more gentle.

Chen Xing watched this scene, his heart skipped a beat, and then his face turned red involuntarily. He actually gave birth to the illusion that it would be good if he could keep doing this in the future.

The snowball eating the cat food specially made for it by Chen Xing seemed to have sensed the unusual aura. He tilted his head, and his beautiful blue eyes were full of doubts. The food is so delicious, why don't you eat, is the person on the other side so good-looking? Snowball watched for a while, and found that the Twolegs still didn't intend to eat. It finally gave up watching, and lowered its head to eat snoring.

A few days later, Chen Xing and the bag inquired about the agreed time. He and Gu Lang arrived at the notarization place an incense stick in advance.

Chen Xing and the others had just stepped into the place where they were working, and from a distance they could see the Baotou chatting and laughing with the clerk in charge of the notary, as if they were old acquaintances.

When Chen Xing and the others came in, the official glanced at them casually. After finding out that it was Gu Lang and the others, the already happy face immediately burst into a brighter smile. Standing up and looking at them, he said, "What are you doing here?"

Chen Xing was a little uncomfortable with the enthusiasm of the officials, but it was better to be kind to them than to be hostile to them, so after he asked the question, Chen Xing explained their intention.

The officer knew that the person who signed the contract was Chen Xing, he was a little surprised at first, and then he became more and more enthusiastic. Rent a shop, and sure enough, people can't be seen.

Chen Xing was so hot that he was praised by this official, and felt that he was not that powerful.

Finally, Gu Lang glanced at Chen Xing with an embarrassed face, and saw Chen Xing, who was about to faint from praise, stopped the chatter of the official, "This official, wait a minute. The contract is about to be signed, can you show us the documents first?"

The officer was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at the man who spoke out. He was originally a little unhappy because he was interrupted, but when he met Gu Lang's indifferent eyes, he felt the After the extraordinary bearing of the stock, gradually disappeared, a clean, not even thought to slander for a long time, stammered: "Yes, of course, but the document has to be written on the spot."

"It's okay, it's just that there is a labor official."

"No, no trouble."

Seeing that the official returned to his position after saying these words, Chen Xing quietly breathed a sigh of relief, it is also a blessing to endure too much praise.

The bag next to them glanced at Chen Xing who was whispering to Gu Lang, then looked at the official who was actively writing the deed, the corners of his lips slowly hooked up, feeling that something was wrong Maybe more interesting than he imagined.

, said yin and yang strangely: "Yo, it's really lively here today, there are so many people who are in a hurry to sign contracts today."

His voice immediately attracted the attention of everyone present, and they all looked in his direction.

Bao Toutou looked at him with a smile on his face, walked up to him with a smile and said, "Master Zhou, all the people who rented your shop are here, let's get started!"

Zhou Qing looked at the flattering Bao Bao who smiled at him and asked, rolled his eyes in disdain, hummed a syllable from his nose, and responded to him, "Yeah."

Then Zhou Qing came to Chen Xing and the others after being greeted by Bao Qu, his greasy eyes swept over Chen Xing and Gu Lang, and finally stayed on Chen Xing for a few seconds, his tone A little frivolous: "These two are the people who signed the contract with me?"

Chen Xing felt that the way he looked at himself made him feel very uncomfortable, but he thought that after signing the contract, he would not have to meet this person, so he endured it and tried to maintain calm: "Yes, I'm the one who wants to rent a shop."

He took a step forward, wanting to walk up to Chen Xing to say something, but he saw the man who looked weak and pale, and suddenly stood in front of him. At the same time he was taken aback, he met the man's cold eyes and shivered suddenly.

Gu Lang looked at the man with lewd eyes in front of him, a sneer on his lips, and said softly: "Since the son is here, why don't we talk about signing the contract?"

Zhou Qing looked at the smiling man in front of him, and because of his timidity just now, he was angry and shouted: "What kind of thing are you, you are here to teach me how to do things! "

Gu Lang looked at the man who was suddenly angry in front of him, with the same indifferent expression on his face, looked at him and said lightly: "I am his husband, I am not teaching you to do things, I was just asking casually."

Zhou Qing doesn't study a lot on weekdays, his wife likes to compare him with the poor scholar next door, and always says that the poor scholar must be the pillar of the country in the future, he will only be Eat dead bugs. But that poor scholar always felt that what his mother said was right, every time he met him, his nose was not his nose, and his eyes were not his eyes. Therefore, every time he met such a poor scholar who didn't know what to do, he hated him very much.

After hearing Gu Lang say that, he immediately exploded, looking at him dissatisfied and said: "Ask casually? What I hate most is a stinky scholar like you, I tell you , this shop is mine, I can rent it if I want, or you can't rent it if I don't."

Gu Lang looked at the vexatious man, frowned slightly, and asked helplessly, "If that's the case, what does the young master want?"

Zhou Qing, who was still very angry at first, saw Gu Lang so quickly, and he was not as angry as before. He glanced at the man with a bit of literati arrogance in front of him, and then looked at Looking at the beautiful brother next to him who was staring at them worriedly, the corners of his lips twitched slightly, and he said lightly, "If you kowtow to me here today and add another 2 taels of silver, I'll take it as I did just now. The shop is still rented to you as usual."

As long as the man agrees, he can not only humiliate him, but also pay two taels of silver as his own reward, which is a beautiful thing that kills two birds with one stone.

The moment Zhou Qing's words came out, Chen Xing was already angry. What he thought could be done easily turned out to be like this. He pulled Gu Lang's sleeve, and when he turned his head, he said in a vicious voice: "Forget it, we won't rent it anymore."

"Yo~" Hearing Chen Xing's words, Zhou Qing looked at Chen Xing consolingly, a bit of covetousness appeared on his face, "Little beauty, let me tell you, this shop is rented to you now , you are taking a huge advantage, if you don't rent it, some people will rent it!"

Chen Xing was even more angry, he pulled Gu Lang, and said angrily: "Isn't it just a shop? I can't do it if I don't rent it!" Gu Lang was angry because of this.

After finishing speaking, Chen Xing paused for a while, turned to look at the bag next to him, a bit of apology appeared on his face, and said apologetically: "Sorry, it seems that our shop can't be rented, but it is Please come here."

Bao did not expect that at such a time, Chen Xing was still thinking about apologizing to him, and his eyes flashed slightly.

Zhou Qing looked at Chen Xing and the others and sneered with his arms in his arms. He just wanted to let these poor ghosts see, what would happen to him, Uncle Zhou!

Just when Zhou Qingzhi was complacent, Bao Inquiry, who had not spoken, said softly, "Young Master Zhou, there is one thing I must explain."

Zhou Qing looked at him with a puzzled look, and said impatiently: "What nonsense are you talking about! Don't waste Lao Tzu's time."

Bao asked looking at his arrogant appearance, but he was not angry, and gently hooked the corners of his lips, "That's it, I was commissioned by Mr. Zhou to let this shop out for rent, and The owner also belongs to another master, so you only have the responsibility of helping to sign on behalf of the young master, and you do not have the right to refuse or not rent."

As soon as Bao's voice fell, Zhou Qing's face became extraordinarily ugly.
