Since the addition of Feng Million, the XPCC has developed quite rapidly.

First of all, Feng Million contacted all the unorganized killers he had come into contact with one by one, and successfully pulled more than a dozen killers into the gang with his three-inch incorruptible tongue.

Secondly, he appropriately took on many large and small tasks for the Corps, and the power of the Corps gradually increased.

Of course, Gu Qinghe, as the head of the regiment, was naturally busy.

She investigated all the people who had joined the Corps, divided them into several departments according to their actual conditions, and prepared to hand over some modern knowledge to them, and promoted a few outstanding talents from them to take charge of these departments.

With so many people joining the corps at once, the amount of money needed to spend naturally increased, but fortunately, Su Changqing would transfer a large amount of silver to her money bank at the beginning of each month, so she was not short of money now.

However, Gu Qinghe wanted to equip all the people in the corps with two pistols and start making zuò bombs. So she is now in a hurry to buy a large sum of silver, and this wronged person is naturally Gu Manting.

It was approaching the end of the year, and Gu Qinghe's life was a little more leisurely, because she basically handed over the affairs of the Corps to Qin Fengmian to take care of.

And Gu Qinghe also successfully grew from ten years old to eleven years old.

Gu Qinghe's birthday was simple, Gu Manting had no intention of celebrating her birthday, only the fourth aunt and mother and daughter came to sit down and give some gifts, and then left again.

And Gu Yitang is still in the palace, and I don't know if I can rush back today.

Hongdou felt lonely, for fear that Gu Qinghe would be depressed, so he asked Gu Qinghe vigorously how he wanted to live, if he wanted to go out shopping or something.

In fact, Gu Qinghe didn't think that there was anything to celebrate on this birthday, firstly, she was only a birthday in her previous life, and secondly, her birthday in this life was not her birthday.

"Miss, let's go out for a walk. "The red beans are soft and hard to soak on the side.

Gu Qinghe thought that she rarely took Hongdou out during this time, because once someone came to assassinate her, she might not be able to keep Hongdou safe.

So even if I went out with red beans, I came back soon, and I was afraid that this girl would be suffocated, so I agreed.

However, now that the General's Mansion and Gu Manting have settled down a lot, she is surprised that no one has been sent to assassinate her in the past few months.

Because it is almost the New Year, the red lanterns of every household in Xiangcheng have been hung up, and the businessmen have put out New Year's goods, which are red and glamorous.

People also go out to shop a lot, and the whole Xiangcheng is also very lively.

Hongdou saw a small red lantern on the stall, handmade and extremely well-behaved, she carried the small lantern to Gu Qinghe: "Miss, look, how refined and cute this lantern is." Shall we buy a few more and hang them in the yard?"

"Not good. Gu Qinghe didn't have the slightest interest.

She walked in the middle of the crowd as if she were walking on a cold street.

She wasn't interested in any of these things.

Red Bean was a little bored, she put the little lantern back, and looked at the lifelike noodle man on the side.

"Miss, this ......"

"Not interested. ”

Azuki's smile immediately froze.

Gu Qinghe saw Hongdou's disappointed and aggrieved expression, so he said: "Didn't I give you a hundred taels of silver before going out, you can buy whatever you want, no need to ask my opinion." ”

Hongdou shook his head and said, "Today is Miss's birthday, and Hongdou wants Hongdou to be happy." However, Red Bean doesn't seem to know Miss all along, doesn't know what Miss needs, and doesn't even know what Miss is interested in and disgusted with. Miss, am I a failure?"

Gu Qinghe was a little sad: "Red Bean, you don't need to know me." You know, you don't live for me, you are for me. ”

Hongdou was a little dazed, the lesson she had always received was that she was a maid, and she was born to live for her master, and living for herself was not the thought she should have.

Gu Qinghe was a little sad when he saw the appearance of the red bean. These people who have been corrupted by feudal ideology will not be able to come back in a day or two.

"Let's go, let's go ahead and have a look. Gu Qinghe didn't say more, and walked towards the lively crowd in front of him with red beans.

After the two squeezed into the crowd, they learned that there was a restaurant holding a couplet competition, and the winner could get ten taels of silver.

Ten taels is not a small amount, compared to the modern five thousand yuan.

"Miss, let's take a look. "Red Bean is a little excited, she has always liked to join in the fun.

"Hmm. Gu Qinghe replied lightly.

The competition was based on a knockout system, starting with 20 people who were willing to take the stage, both young and old.

The couplet from the shopkeeper of the restaurant, the first ten people will advance to the next round.

By the time they arrived, the couplet was already halfway through, and the twenty had been eliminated to the current eight.

Hongdou listened with relish, but Gu Qinghe listened drowsily.

Gu Qinghe finally couldn't help but ask, "What do they mean by being right?"

Gu Qinghe doesn't know anything about poetry, that is, she remembers some poems that she likes and are already familiar with.

For example, "Qingyuan Spring. In Snow", the last few sentences were Gu Qinghe's favorite, so she remembered it.

Another example is "Silent Night Thoughts", which she is familiar with, and she doesn't need to memorize it.

Therefore, almost none of the scholars on the stage did she understand.

She can only roughly understand that those poems are either Wing Chun or Wing Flowers.

Hongdou looked back at Gu Qinghe, and the excitement in his eyes still didn't dissipate: "I don't know what it means, but it sounds like it's very powerful." ”

Gu Qinghe almost collapsed, could this be the so-called unclear power?

"Miss Gu Qi. A slightly muffled voice suddenly interjected.

Gu Qinghe looked up and saw Liu Chen, the Third Highness, standing in the crowd, followed by two guards.

"Liu Sangongzi. Gu Qinghe bowed slightly.

Liu Chen listened to Gu Qinghe's title, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he walked into two steps: "Unexpectedly, Miss Gu Qi also likes to watch this kind of excitement." ”

Gu Qinghe didn't care: "I didn't expect to run into you, I knew that I wouldn't have come." ”

Liu Chen's face was gloomy: "You just want to avoid me so much?"

Gu Qinghe smiled lightly: "I just want to live well." ”

When Liu Chen heard Gu Qinghe say this, his gloom immediately turned into a proud smile: "I'll give you a better and more foolproof idea, but do you want to hear it?"

"Don't," Gu Qinghe replied quickly and crisply.

Liu Chen's face froze, and then he laughed: "I just like your temperament." Gu Qinghe, as long as you agree to marry me, naturally no one will bully you. ”

Gu Qinghe looked at Liu Chen with some surprise: "You're not afraid of luring wolves into the room?"

Liu Chen approached Gu Qinghe, he stared down at Gu Qinghe's eyes, and said in a low voice: "The wolf is just a wolf, and in front of the dragon, he can't turn over the tricks." ”
