Mrs. Baozhen, who was originally frowning lightly, suddenly had her eyes lit up, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of surprise: "Help me up, bring that smoke-blue cardigan to me and change it on, forget it, let's wear that lake blue one, look more energetic." ”

"My hair is messy, should I put it back in a bun? And will my face be too ugly, should I put some powder? Mrs. Baozhen's tone was brisk and expectant: "Open the windows, ventilate, and then put out the wood incense and replace it with agarwood incense, Jiulang likes the taste of agarwood incense the most." ”

"I used the mountain spring water I received a few days ago to make Longjing tea for Jiulang, Jiulang has always been particular. Otherwise, let's go to the hall, the smell of medicine in this inner room is too strong, where can Jiulang smell it......"

The concerned and nervous look, how is it like a mother waiting for her son to come to greet him? It's not an exaggeration to say that you're waiting for your sweetheart.

Gu Chongyang stood aside and was amazed.

If it weren't for Mama Yu's persuasion, saying that Wang Jiulang had already arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Mrs. Baozhen wouldn't know how to toss.

Hearing Wang Jiulang's footsteps, Mrs. Baozhen stretched her neck to look out.

The moment she saw Wang Jiulang, she was full of smiles, her eyes were full of Wang Jiulang, and she couldn't see anyone else anymore.

"You're here, come in, why are you free to come over today? Yesterday I was bitten by a snake, I was so scared that I lost my backbone, but fortunately you came, I was relieved. Why don't you take a break? Tired along the way? Is it a waterway or a dry road? The road is too uneven? ”

Mrs. Baozhen stared at Wang Jiulang with her eyes, as if she was looking at a child of several years old, and asked endlessly.

Wang Jiulang's expression was cold, he didn't have any expression, and he didn't look at her, he just walked in and stood on the edge of the bed and listened to her.

Apparently, he was going to show up and leave.

Gu Chongyang was secretly speechless beside him, the way the mother and son get along is so strange.

I really didn't expect the relationship between Mrs. Baozhen and Wang Jiulang to be like this, Wang Jiulang didn't even bother to do face-saving work.

However, anyone who knows that their widowed mother is pregnant with an abusive seed will probably not have a good face.

Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, looking at the current situation, Wang Jiulang and his mother have a bad relationship, and it is no longer a matter of one or two days.

Could it be ...... Wang Jiulang already knew that Mrs. Baozhen was having an affair with someone else?

Gu Chongyang couldn't help but be frightened by his own idea!

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible, Mrs. Baozhen's reaction was clearly that she felt ashamed of Wang Jiulang, and Wang Jiulang hated her mother, and she didn't want to meet Mrs. Baozhen at all, and she didn't hide her disgust for her, so he came once in a while, and Mrs. Baozhen was so excited.

Only in this way can a qiē be explained.

No wonder yesterday she said that Mrs. Baozhen was a slippery vein, and Wang Jiulang didn't refute or suspect it at the first time, but asked her who sent her.

I see! And so it was!

Wang Jiulang resented Mrs. Baozhen, but he was helpless because she was his mother.

Gu Chongyang couldn't help but think of when his mother died, Biyun and Zhong Po told her conclusively that her mother was a communicator. The rape was broken, so he committed suicide in shame. The shock and excruciating pain nearly crushed her.

Later, it was proved that the mother was innocent, and she proved her innocence with her life.

In comparison, Wang Jiulang is much more pitiful than himself. knew that her mother was unchaste, but she was helpless, and she had to hide it for her.

Gu Chongyang felt a little pity in his heart

"Looks like you're okay already." Wang Jiulang's voice was calm and waveless, and he said this sentence and said nothing else.

Mrs. Baozhen was like eating a phoenix egg, her excited hands didn't know where to put it, and her voice was slightly choked: "This Miss Gu's medical skills are very good, thanks to you to invite her over, my body is almost fine, and I can go out in a few days." ”

"Really?" Wang Jiulang suddenly raised his eyebrows and glanced at Gu Chongyang.

His eyes were still very sharp, but Gu Chongyang was not as scared as before, he only felt that he was enduring the same torment as his former self.

"Of course not." Gu Chongyang stood up and said, "Madame loves her son and doesn't want Wang Gongzi to worry, so she deliberately conceals her illness." It will take more than a month to heal. ”

Mrs. Baozhen hurriedly said: "You don't have to worry, Miss Gu is for my good, in fact, I think I'm much better." ”

Wang Jiulang ignored Mrs. Baozhen, and only said to Gu Chongyang: "Since this is the case, I will trouble Miss Gu in the next month." ”

Gu Chongyang said softly: "It is natural for a doctor to treat the disease, and it is not troublesome. ”

Wang Jiulang turned around and wanted to leave, but Mrs. Baozhen hurriedly said: "This is the Longjing before the rain, it just came down this year, I asked people to soak it in spring water, can you taste it?" ”

It's a pity that Wang Jiulang didn't answer and walked straight out.

Mrs. Baozhen kept looking in the direction he left, and stared blankly for a long time.

Gu Chongyang saw her hugging the quilt, her eyes were worried, and she looked like a mother, and sighed again.

The wretched will have something to hate.

She prescribed medicine and offered to take her leave.

Shen Yucheng was greatly relieved to see Gu Chongyang come back safely: "How is it?" Still shun lì? How is Mrs. Baozhen's body? How sure are you about snake venom? ”

After Wang Jiulang left yesterday, Gu Chongyang told Shen Yucheng that Wang Jiulang was the owner of Nanjing Shifentang and the grandson of Wenguo in Beijing.

Shen Yucheng was stunned on the spot: "You said, that prince just now is Wang Xu, the prince of Yushu, Wang Jiulang?" ”

"That's right, he came to Nanjing with his mother and Mrs. Baozhen to build a public ancestral hall." Gu Chongyang said: "Uncle, you were a little rude just now. ”

Shen Yucheng broke out in a cold sweat: "Oops! If it weren't for Yushu Gongzi, how could I have such a good appearance and demeanor, and I would have done such a rude thing. ”

If it weren't for Gu Chongyang to stop him, Shen Yucheng even wanted to come to the door in person to apologize, he was so snub to the descendants of Shifentang, and he probably wouldn't be a man anymore.

Therefore, Shen Yucheng didn't go anywhere today, just waiting for Gu Chongyang to come back and ask about the situation: "What did Wang Jiulang say?" Did he blame me? Is there any anger at you? ”

"Uncle, I am Mrs. Baozhen's life-saving benefactor, or Mrs. Baozhen's doctor, since he personally came to the door to invite me to treat Mrs. Baozhen, he must not blame you, let alone anger me, you can rest assured."

Shen Yucheng said: "You know that our Shen family suffers a loss because we have not been able to get a jinshi, the family background is too thin, no matter how rich you are, you are just a merchant, and you can't compare with those big families who have been cultivating and studying for generations." The first generation of the hall master of Shifentang refused to go out, but like the emperor of the previous dynasty presented "Xing'an Policy", a "Xing'an Policy" to ensure the prosperity of the previous dynasty for two hundred years. Too. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Wang Weigong became a public official, and writing "Zai Fuzhi" is still very popular today, and it is a must-have book for every novice who enters the officialdom. ”

He sighed regretfully: "If I hadn't been so rude yesterday, but had treated Wang Jiulang as a guest and asked your second cousin to come out to accompany you, Wang Jiulang would have dialed it a little, and your second cousin might have the hope of being a Zhongjin sergeant." Even if you can't get into the jinshi, with Wang Jiulang's recommendation, it is not difficult to find an official and a half-position as a lifter. ”

Shen Yucheng stomped his feet, unable to tell how remorseful he was. There are eyes that don't know gold and jade, and the God of Wealth didn't recognize it when he came to the door, and he missed this opportunity in vain.

"Uncle!" Gu Chongyang comforted: "Shifentang is a sacred place in the hearts of scholars, and the Wenguo Mansion is even more valued by the emperor. As Wang Jiulang, there are many people who ask him to do things every day, how can he point out or not point out to your cousin because of your attitude. Even if he is willing to point out his cousin, there is nothing in our family that he can look at, so what do we take in return for such a great kindness? ”

Oh, yes! Interacting with people is the same as doing business, the emphasis is on mutual benefit, Wang Jiulang wants nothing, and the Shen family really has nothing for him.

Thinking like this, Shen Yucheng calmed down: "You kid is really a great wisdom, you are not shocked by humiliation and are calm-headed, and your uncle is not as good as you." ”

Uncle was just shocked when he met someone like Wang Jiulang at first glance, Gu Chongyang coaxed Shen Yucheng with a smile: "In Chongyang's heart, no one is as good as uncle." ”

Listening to his niece's words, Shen Yucheng smiled, and the chagrin just now disappeared.

……

Since late March, the price of grain in Nanjing has risen again and again, and the price has even become 50 percent more expensive than the price of previous years.

Only then did the grain merchants realize that this year's grain would make a lot of money, and they went to the countryside to collect grain. But the grain has already been purchased by the Shen family.

The Shen family is a big merchant, and the grain collection accounts for the majority over the years, and the Shen family buys 3,000 stone of grain as a whole year grain inventory, while other merchants do not have so much financial and material resources, and generally buy about 1,000 stone.

Unexpectedly, the Shen family purchased 5,000 stones this year, plus the 8,000 stones purchased by Gu Chongyang, a total of 13,000 stones, almost all the grain around Nanjing.

Those grain merchants only knew that the Shen family had received a lot of grain this year, and they didn't know how much it was.

The Shen family got the news that the price of grain was going to rise in advance, and they didn't tell them, and they took precautions, which was really annoying. They could only watch as the Shen family sold grain at a high price to merchants in the north who collected grain.

Although they are red and jealous, the Shen family has enough money to collect grain, and there are in-laws like the Nanjing prefect, so those people can only complain in their hearts.

At the beginning of April, the officials of the household department who collected grain went south one after another, and the local officials in all provinces got the news in advance and began to collect grain. It is not to cooperate with the collection, but to collect grain, each province and county has indicators, and the imperial court even takes the amount of grain received as one of the references for the year-end examination.

At dinner in the evening, Shen Yucheng praised Gu Chongyang again and again in front of the whole family, praising her for her foresight and courage, taking one step at a time, and seeing three steps, and being a good businessman.

In addition, with the previous incident of Gu Chongyang helping Mrs. Baozhen to clear the snake venom, everyone in the Shen family directly changed from pity and love to admiration and admiration for this little cousin from the capital.

Even Shen Suying admired Gu Chongyang very much, let alone Shen Rang, who bluntly said that Cousin Chongyang was smart and powerful, and he was the person he admired the most.

A dinner, eating with a smile, such an atmosphere, Gu Chongyang likes it very much.

Because she has repeatedly shown her excellence, she has been recognized by her uncle, and she also has a reason for Zhengda Guangming to intervene in the Shen family's grain store and various shops.

The ancestors of the Shen family were just from selling medicines, and after several generations of hard work, they have grown a lot. In addition to being a pharmacy, a textile workshop, and a grain store, the Shen family also has its own boat shop in Fujian.

Uncle knows the truth of grasping the big and letting go of the small, although there are not many ships in the ship, but the victory is that the ship is very large, and has been cooperating with the Guangdong Thirteen Lines, and often goes to sea with the Guangdong Thirteen Banks to do overseas trade. Although the maritime trade is very profitable, his uncle is very cautious, coupled with the control of the thirteen banks in Guangdong, the bulk of the Shen family's Fujian income lies in the shipping company, and the overseas trade is only a little sporadic.

Although the Shen family can be regarded as the first few wealthy businessmen in Nanjing, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are rich, if you look at the whole of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the uncle's family is nothing. Gu Chongyang never understood why King Rong chose his uncle.

Now that King Rong has arrived in Fandi Chaozhou, he will definitely make a move next. As long as she pays close attention, she will definitely be able to find clues to King Rong's actions.

A few days later, Lord Dou, the prefect of Nanjing, led the household superintendent of grain and Yu Shi Jirong to visit Shen Yucheng.

Lord Dou is the prefect of Nanjing and his sons and daughters, and Ji Rong, the superintendent of grain, is the minister of the Imperial Palace, Shen Yucheng did not dare to slack off, and personally greeted him at the door, and the group talked in the study for a long time, and Shen Yucheng left them for lunch at Shen's house.

When Shen Yucheng sent Dou Zhifu and Ji Yushi out, Gu Chongyang happened to come back from Jiming Temple, and two groups of people met at the door.

Gu Chongyang avoided it and waited for the guest's sedan chair to be carried away before entering the door.

Shen Yucheng said to Gu Chongyang: "Chongyang, I have something to tell you." ”

"Uncle, are you going to talk about food?" Gu Chongyang smiled slightly and said: "Although I collected the grain, I just came up with an idea, the people who paid the money and people out of the warehouse were all uncles, and the people who contributed the strength were the guys of the Shen family and cousin Jean, those grains were originally from my uncle, you can dispose of them as you want." ”

"You're so smart, kid." Shen Yucheng and Gu Chongyang arrived at the study, and he said: "What I left just now was Dou Zhifu and Ji Yushi, Ji Yushi went south to collect grain this time, and there was a task of 6,000 stones, but he only collected 1,000 stones at the moment, and there was still a shortage of 5,000 stones, so I hope I can sell the grain to him at a price of four cents per catty." ”

When Gu Chongyang collected grain, he bought it for three cents and one stone, and in previous years, the grain was indeed sold for about four pennies and one stone, and the Shen family did not suffer a loss.

But right now, the grain has been raised to six cents a stone, and ten days ago, the Shen family had just sold a thousand stones of grain to a northern merchant, which was sold for five cents and one stone. In this way, the Shen family has done a bit of a loss in this business.

"Uncle, Governor Dou is an in-law, he personally came to the door to lead Ji Yushi to collect grain, we can't help but give this face. Ji Yushi is the imperial court, and the household department collects grain to relieve the people affected by the disaster, which is a matter of accumulating merit and cannot be measured simply by price. Although the Shen family suffered a little loss in this business on the surface, we did not lose money, but we made less money. Although the silver earned less, we gave Dou Prefect and Ji Yushi face, and it will be much easier to do things in the future. ”

After weighing the pros and cons, Gu Chongyang said: "This business is done." ”

"I have already promised Governor Dou and Ji Yushi that they will come to the Shen family's grain depot this afternoon to move grain." Shen Yucheng praised again and again: "I really didn't expect you to see things so thoroughly at such a young age." I was worried that you would disagree, but now it seems that I am overthinking, and you are far more mature and stable than I thought. ”

Gu Chongyang couldn't help sweating on his forehead: "Uncle, can you not be like this, and praise me when you have the opportunity, how can I be as smart as you say." ”

She's never been a smart person, she's just lived an extra life and knows these things before anyone else.

"Oops, we're shy." Shen Yucheng laughed and said: "There are no outsiders here, just our two uncles and nephews, isn't it normal for me to praise my niece?" Besides, I'm telling the truth, you're really smart and powerful. ”

Gu Chongyang: "......"

"I called you, there is one more thing besides the one thing just now." Shen Yucheng stroked his beard, revealing a solemn look: "Your cousin Qian has collected 5,000 stone of grain this year, plus the 8,000 stone you bought, a total of 13,000 stone, for fear that others will say that our Shen family deliberately hoarded grain, externally, I only say that our Shen family has purchased 8,000 stone this year." ”

Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, my uncle is right to do this.

"In addition to the 1,000 stone sold to the northern merchants and the 5,000 stone sold to the imperial court, there are still 2,000 stones left on the surface, just now Dou Zhixian secretly discussed with me, hoping that I would resell the remaining 2,000 stones to him, he said that he would buy it at six cents and one stone, I don't think this matter is simple, so I didn't rashly agree, just said to think about it."

"I can't say yes." Gu Chongyang said: "Uncle, Governor Dou secretly collects grain behind the back of the imperial court, this matter is indeed boring. Even if we don't have a greasy, if we sell these two thousand stones to Dou Zhi County, there will be no grain in the Shen family's grain store on the surface, then we will not be able to continue to sell grain. ”

Many people like to make a fortune, and this Dou prefect may be one of them. He bought grain and shipped it to the north to sell it at a high price, and if it was discovered, it would even affect the Shen family.

Shen Yucheng didn't want to agree, but because of the face of his relatives, he didn't refuse, and after listening to Gu Chongyang's words, he said on the spot: "Then I will refuse him, just say that thousands of households in Nanjing City also need food, if the Shen family's grain store has no food, won't it be laughed off by peers?" ”

"Uncle is right."

At the same time, Ruifeng handed a letter to Wang Jiulang's desk: "Ninth Master, there is news from the capital." ”

Wang Jiulang opened the envelope and hurriedly scanned it, his face showing a bit of playfulness.

A weak woman, alone to track down the truth of her mother's funeral, and unknowingly let the murderer die violently, so that no one who opposed her would end well. Being able to retreat from the tiger and wolf's den, this fourth lady of the Gu family is far more complicated than what he sees.

"Who did she learn her medical skills, or can't you find out?"

"Yes." Ruifeng's heart sank, he owed his body, and said cautiously: "I can only find out that it was taught by a master when I was in Guichi, and I don't know anything else." ”

Wang Jiulang's handsome face showed a little awe-inspiring, and when he thought she was deliberately approaching, she used her medical skills to prove to him that she was innocent. When he believed her, she was suddenly full of mysteries.

Whether she is innocent and kind or scheming, who did she learn her medical skills, or she is really treacherous, so even he is blinded.

But after getting along for a while, he didn't even find a flaw, which doesn't make sense.

"Could it be an impostor?" Wang Jiulang spoke very slowly, but Ruifeng listened to it with a straight scalp: "This one in Nanjing and the one in Beijing, could it be two people?" ”

"One person indeed."

It's been a long time since the Ninth Master has been so nervous about something, there must be something wrong with this Fourth Miss of the Gu Family, otherwise the Ninth Master wouldn't care so much.

Ruifeng didn't dare to take it lightly, and said cautiously: "Miss Gu is beautiful, she can smile before she is a full moon, and the elders in the family like her very much." The more she grows up, the more similar her appearance is to the late Fourth Lady, with a beautiful appearance and a beautiful appearance, ice skin and jade skin, but anyone who has seen her will never forget it. ”

Wang Jiulang's mind flashed over Gu Chongyang's appearance, and he nodded involuntarily: "That little girl does have a good look. ”

This made Ruifeng even more nervous, the ninth master cares so much, it seems that Miss Gu Si is probably in a bad situation.

He took out a painting scroll and handed it to Wang Jiulang: "This is copied from the study of Hao Shaoyang, the grandson of the Marquis of Linjiang." ”

Wang Jiulang opened the scroll, and a girl with bright eyes and bright teeth and a peach smile Li Yan appeared in front of him.

She sat on the swing in the garden, her eyebrows and eyes curved, the corners of her mouth raised, and her delicate laughter seemed to be heard through a painting.

Her dazzling features like fine gold and jade make people can't take their eyes off, and the wind blows her hair and skirt, as if she will ride the wind away at any moment.

The picture is exquisite, and the characters in the painting are lifelike as if they are right in front of you. This is just a copy of the original painting, and the original painting should be so beautiful.

The painter is very skilled and knows the characters very well, otherwise the form and character of the characters would never be depicted so accurately.

It is written next to it: Death and life are broad, and Zicheng said. Hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son.

At first glance, you can tell that it is a man's handwriting.

Wang Jiulang knocked his fingers twice on the table, and Ruifeng hurriedly said: "The original painting was made by the Hou Shisun of Linjiang, and he and Miss Gu were childhood sweethearts and had a very close relationship. Not only that, Miss Gu is also his savior, and the two of them have also made a family appointment. It's just unthinkable that the grandson of Linjiang Hou regretted his marriage and married his fellow sister soon after he quit his marriage with Miss Gu. It is said that it was because of love that Miss Gu would stay away from the capital and come to Nanjing. ”

Wang Jiulang frowned: "Why do you regret your marriage?" ”

Not to mention temperament, just with her beautiful appearance, those young men will definitely be dazzled by her, and it is not surprising to run after her behind them, how can they be willing to give up?

"This ......" Ruifeng broke out in a cold sweat, knowing that the ninth master cared so much, he asked people to check it carefully.

"I'll send a message back to the capital, so that people can check it out."

Wang Jiulang didn't speak, just stared at the person on the painting, Gu Chongyang, what kind of person are you?

He got up, pointed to the letter on the table, and said, "Ruined it." ”

"Yes." Ruifeng picked up the letter and hesitated a little: "This painting ......"

Wang Jiulang turned around and saw that the little girl in the painting was as gorgeous as a begonia, her eyes were bright as stars, her smile was pleasant, and her dimples were deep, which was both fresh and lovely and delicate, as if there was a magical, irresistible power, so that people who saw her could not help but be infected by her joy, Wang Jiulang's expression remained unchanged, but his voice involuntarily softened: "Keep it first." ”

Three days later, Gu Chongyang went to find Wang Jiulang after giving Mrs. Baozhen a follow-up consultation.

Wang Jiulang has a grudge against Mrs. Baozhen, so he almost never meets Mrs. Baozhen. But he was very concerned about Mrs. Baozhen, and he not only sent Mama Yu to monitor Mrs. Baozhen's every move in the name of care, but even every time she came for a follow-up visit, she would be called for questioning.

After a few times, Gu Chongyang understood in his heart that without waiting for Wang Jiulang to send someone to invite, he took the initiative to come over and report the situation to him.

The same is true for this day.

It's just that I didn't expect there to be a guest in Wang Jiulang's house.

Ruifeng invited Gu Chongyang to wait in the wing.

She is very curious, since the news of Wang Jiulang's arrival in Nanjing has been released, there is an endless stream of people who come to visit every day, among them are both Jiangnan Wang clan, there are also well-educated people, both Nanjing nobles, and Shilin Qinggui, the little girl can receive a soft hand every day to receive a worship post, Wang Jiulang has refused, and rarely meets guests.

I don't know who came this time, but I was able to see Wang Jiulang's face.

Gu Chongyang kept an eye on it, and kept paying attention to the movement in the main room, and after hearing the footsteps, she immediately got up and stood at the back door to look out.

I saw Ruifeng send a man about thirty years old wearing a cyan embroidered quail plate collar right official robe to walk out, it was the household governor Liang Yu Shi Jirong, he frowned, and he looked like he was at a loss.

It's weird!

The household department is in urgent need of food relief for the victims, and since Ji Yushi has raised enough food, he should return to the capital early to sell the errand, but three days have passed, and he is still stranded in Nanjing.

And his face, anxious and helpless, obviously encountered a great difficulty.

The food has been raised, so it is not to worry about official affairs, since it is a private matter, how could he ask Wang Jiulang to come? She hadn't heard of Ji Yushi and Wang Jiulang having an old relationship before, and Wang Jiulang was not the kind of person who would take care of other people's private affairs?

Watching Ruifeng send Ji Yushi out, Gu Chongyang looked puzzled and couldn't figure it out.

"That's the Household Governor Grain Imperial History, if you have something to ask him, I'll let Ruifeng call him back."

A cold voice suddenly sounded beside him, startling Gu Chongyang.

"When did you come out?" She looked at Wang Jiulang standing in front of her, patted her chest, and showed a puzzled look: "You were obviously still in the room just now, why did you stand in front of me in a blink of an eye?" You walk so fast, why don't you make any sound at all? ”

Wang Jiulang couldn't help frowning, what did it all do, he just saw her staring at Ji Rong for a while, and said a word casually, which provoked her to babble so much.

"You have something to say, I'll talk about it when I meet Ji Rong." He suppressed his temper and said, "I'll let someone call him back." ”

Gu Chongyang looked puzzled: "I don't have anything to say to Ji Yushi, I just didn't expect to see him here, it's just a little strange to see him at first glance." ”

This panic is really clumsy, she stared at Ji Rong with her eyes just now, if he hadn't suddenly appeared and interrupted her sight, her eyes would probably fall out, and her soul would have to go with Ji Rong.

She obviously has something, but she doesn't admit it. But I don't want to think about it, as long as I say a word, I can let Ji Rong come back. She flatly denied that there was no way for him to help her.

I really don't know if she's smart or stupid!

Wang Jiulang felt a little impetuous, he knew that this was another illness, he quietly took in his luck, and after a few breaths, he slowly suppressed his anxiety.

"Wang Gongzi, are you angry?"

This gentle and gentle sentence made the anger that he had suppressed turn over again, and this Gu Chongyang always made him angry easily.

Wang Jiulang didn't speak, brushed his sleeves and turned away.

It's infuriating.

Although Gu Chongyang didn't know why Wang Jiulang was angry, she also knew that she must have said something that she shouldn't say, so he was angry.

After getting along during this time, Gu Chongyang felt that although he was a little colder, he was not unreasonable.

What's more, he is still so talented, and Gu Chongyang has always admired and envied talented people.

Wang Jiulang's footsteps were very fast, and he walked three steps away in the blink of an eye, with a tall and sparse back, a pine and emerald figure, the whole person was tall and magnanimous, Gu Chongyang looked at it, and faintly felt a little familiar.

She put aside her strange feelings and hurriedly followed: "Wang Gongzi, don't be angry, I'm just curious why Ji Yushi didn't hurry back to the capital to sell the difference since he had already scraped together enough six thousand stone of grain, and he didn't mean to make you angry." ”

The person who was striding in front of him suddenly froze, and Gu Chongyang was caught off guard and hit Wang Jiulang's back hard.

The smell of agarwood incense came from the moon-white robe, and Gu Chongyang couldn't help but be stunned.

That year, she tracked down the truth about her mother's death, Gu Tailai found Wu Dacheng and placed him on Liulichang Street, she was anxious to see Wu Dacheng, and almost fell at the door of the shop on Liulichang Street, but fortunately, a man reached out to help her.

The man was wearing a moon-white robe, which was the smell of agarwood incense.

No wonder she felt that Wang Jiulang's back was a little familiar, it turned out that he was him, and he was the person who was that day.

She never had a chance to thank him, she thought that she would never have the opportunity to meet again, but she didn't expect to have this opportunity in Nanjing, and she didn't expect him to be Wang Jiulang.

Gu Chongyang was still in a daze, and Wang Jiulang had already turned around and straightened her: "What you said, but the truth?" ”

"What?" Gu Chongyang raised his head, his big watery eyes and the tip of his red nose were endearing.

Wang Jiulang was stunned, and the feeling of impetuousness came to his heart again.

The impact of this disease on his feelings became more and more severe.

He let go of his hand on her shoulder, and quietly stepped back half a step: "You just said that Ji Rong has raised enough food, who did you listen to?" ”

"It's my uncle." Although Gu Chongyang didn't know why Wang Jiulang asked this, she knew that the matter was very important when she saw his solemn face, and she said honestly: "Three days ago, Ji Yushi invited Dou Prefect to be the middleman and went to the Shen family grain store to buy grain. ”

"You come with me."

Wang Jiulang turned around and entered the hall.

Gu Chongyang followed, he sat down in the main seat, and pointed to the chair beside him: "You sit down first." ”

In this way, it is clear that there is something important to say, Gu Chongyang's heart was shocked, and he hesitated for a moment before sitting down, and the whole person was sitting upright, with his back straight.

"According to you, Ji Rong has raised enough food, but do you know what Ji Rong came to me for just now?"

Gu Chongyang shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Wang Jiulang didn't speak, just looked at her silently, his eyes were as cold as snow.

Gu Chongyang knew that he was not satisfied with his answer, so he hurriedly pondered, just now he said about raising food, Wang Jiulang's footsteps stopped, that is, Ji Rong's coming must be related to raising food. Ji Yushi was at a loss when he went out, there must be something to ask Wang Jiulang.

Could it be ......

Gu Chongyang hurriedly raised his head, and blurted out the thoughts in his heart: "Ji Yushi is here to ask you to help raise food!" ”

Wang Jiulang bowed slightly, and his eyes showed a faint satisfaction: "You're not too stupid." ”

These words are not very good, but Gu Chongyang's eyes lit up, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were a little bit, she was praised by the famous Yushu prince Wang Jiulang, can she not make people proud?

"However, he has clearly raised enough food. Governor Dou's mansion did send someone to pull away 5,000 stone of grain. This was only a moment of pride, and Gu Chongyang calmed down again: "Could it be that he is lying?" ”

He said that he had only raised enough 2,000 stone of grain, 1,000 stone was purchased elsewhere, and the other 1,000 stone was purchased from the Shen Family Grain Store. But you said that the Shen family's grain store sold him 5,000 stone of grain. Wang Jiulang tapped his fingers on the table, raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Chongyang and said, "Either he lied, or the Shen family didn't sell it to him!" ”

"It can't be!" Gu Chongyang immediately retorted: "The Shen family's grain store did sell five thousand stone of grain, I can guarantee this." But now it is only a little more than a month away from the time given by the imperial court, Ji Yushi must hurry back to the imperial court to resume his life, otherwise the period will be delayed, and he will never receive enough food but deliberately delay in Nanjing. ”

Gu Chongyang's brows were tightly locked, and his delicate eyebrows were twisted together: "What's the problem?" ”

Seeing her frowning stiffly, her red mouth pursed because of her concentration, and she looked like she was thinking with all her strength, and she couldn't help but sigh.

It's not a big deal, is it worth her effort?

That's it, she frowned, he might as well remind her.

"You're missing someone."

"Who?"

"Dou Haoxiao!"

Gu Chongyang was shocked: "Dou Haoxiao! The beans are so small, Lord Dou, the prefect of Nanjing, is so small! ”

"You're pretty good at giving people nicknames." Wang Jiulang stood up lazily: "You think about it carefully, and then come to me after you figure it out." ”

Gu Chongyang's heart was on Dou Haoxiao, and he didn't notice that Wang Jiulang had already gotten up and gone out.
