Gu Rin felt that the time was almost up, so he took Su Yu out, and as soon as the rich businessmen saw him appear, they began to quarrel with each other again.

"Silence." Gu Rin's cold eyes looked at the audience, and he took a piece of letter with his name written on it, "The top three masters who have been selected for the competition tax exemption are announced below." ”

As soon as the name was pronounced, some of the rich merchants were happy and some were worried, and the rich businessman who took nine thousand taels of silver was selected, and it didn't take long for him to feel that something was wrong.

The other two also reacted one after another, and looked at Gu Rin at each other: "Master Gu said that, didn't you say that the first three can get tax exemption rights before?" ”

Gu Rin's expression remained unchanged, and his gaze turned to him and asked, "When did I say that?" ”

The three wealthy businessmen immediately stopped talking, Gu Rin raised the corners of his eyes, and then said, "What I said was to choose a person who is truly tax-exempt from these three." ”

As soon as these words came out, those rich businessmen who were not selected were happy, and those who were selected seemed to be lifeless in an instant, and they had a feeling of being deeply deceived.

But they dare to be angry and dare not speak, they have all reached this point, wouldn't it be cheaper for others to quit now? If I continue to donate, how long and how long will I get? Don't all the family have to be hollowed out?

"Do you have any other objections?" Gu Rin's cold eyes swept down the stage, and the audience was suddenly silent.

"No objections."

What Master Gu said was...... "The rich businessmen left one after another, for fear that they would make trouble in the government and completely offend people."

"If this is the case, then this law will take effect immediately." Gu Rin nodded, and the matter of tax exemption came to an end.

The top three wealthy merchants donated money to the tax exemption every year, no less each time, and the corruption and extravagance in the city were rectified.

Nearly a month, in the blink of an eye, it is the Shangyuan Festival, although it is not as prosperous as the capital, but the small city also has a unique style.

Su Yu counted the days and waited for the day to come, and the flawless clone who had a lot of things to do some time ago finally had a chance to relax.

"I see that Miss is in a good mood today, I don't know why?" The maid saw that she was still sitting in front of the dressing table, and chuckled and quipped.

"Where do you see that?" Su Yu looked at her face in the mirror, it was rare for her to use rouge gouache today, and the light makeup was suitable, and she still couldn't see it as usual.

The maid straightened the crooked hairpin on her head, and carefully combed her long hair to the end: "Miss is sitting here for almost a moment, the Shangyuan Festival is the most lively only at night, Miss is not in a hurry to ......"

"Shut up!" Su Yu was told that she was thinking, and there was no real blame on her face, and a smile appeared in the corner of her eyes, making a gesture to cover her mouth.

"If I don't say it, will Miss easily bypass me?" In order to avoid her, the maid ran all over the house, and the two fought and laughed.

Today's layout in the city is slightly better than usual, the vendors who come out of the stalls put out all kinds of concentric knot sachets and the like, Su Yu is sitting in the attic on the second floor, and he can hear the sound of sugar gourds or sugar people selling on the street.

It was about dusk, Su Yu made sure that there would be no mistakes in her makeup, and then she took the maid to prepare to go out, feeling nervous and looking forward to it.

"Miss, when Master Gu comes over later, I don't have to follow, with him accompanying Miss, the maid is also at ease." The maid looked up and saw Su Yujiao's good side face, and smiled on her face.

Her young lady is not bad in appearance, although she has lived in the countryside, she has a beautiful temperament, and she is low-key and calm.

Su Yu took out two taels of silver from her purse and put it in her palm: "If you have something you like, just buy it, and the silver will be recorded in my name." ”

"Yes!" The maid knew that she was in a good mood, so she didn't squirm immediately, and happily agreed.

I don't know how long it took, it was dark, and the crowd on the East Street gradually increased, the cardamom girl carrying a lantern, or the hand-cranked boy with a folding fan, and the childhood sweetheart wearing a mask.

But none of them are her Gu Rin, will he suddenly not come? Su Yu looked at the river lanterns floating by the river, and someone wrote down his wishes and put them in the river.

It is said that the river lantern will float to the hands of those who miss from afar, and her expectation is that she can grow old with Gu Rin in this life, and she has nothing else to ask for.

"Miss......" The maid said weakly, carefully glancing at Su Yu's face.

The cold wind in the night was a little chilly, the young lady was wearing thin clothes when she went out, and she forgot to bring her cloak, if Lord Gu didn't come, wouldn't her young lady have to wait all the time?

Su Yu's eyes were resolute and unwavering, standing by the river, his eyes drifting to the lively crowd: "Wait, he will never let me wait in vain, maybe there is something to delay, you go to find him." ”

After she said this, the maid went back and asked the little guy next to Gu Rin, only to know that he was breaking an unsolved case, and asked the maid to accompany Su Yu to take a look first.

After Su Yu learned of the situation, he didn't say much, and was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Then you will accompany me, let's find a stall to guess the lantern riddle, and there will be a prize if you guess it." ”

The maid didn't want her to be cranky, so she hurriedly agreed: "My young lady must be amazing, if I can guess it, I also want to know what the award is." ”

The stall owner who came up with the question put an anagram, and the prize was a concentric lotus lamp with exquisite workmanship on the top of the shelf, and Su Yu and the maid squeezed into the front of the crowd and saw that the anagram was a poem.

"It's the same item to guess, if you guess it, the concentric lotus that means a beautiful reunion will be taken away by the young lady of the ...... family."

The maid looked dizzy and asked in a whisper beside her, "Does Miss know the answer?" ”

Before the words fell, Su Yu gave the answer, and when the maid got the lantern, her face couldn't help but be happy.

"My young lady is just a great ......"

"It's just to coax my daughter's things and ask for a good fortune, so you're so happy." Su Yu got the lantern, but his mood was not much lighter.

I didn't expect to see the man with a long figure on the other side of the river, and his side face looked like Gu Rin.

She was shocked in her heart, wasn't he trying to investigate the case? How did you end up here, and why didn't you go to her when you came?

Su Yu was about to go over with his skirt, and when he saw a woman next to him, he stopped his feet.

The maid obviously saw it too, her face became flustered, and she didn't know how to comfort her: "Miss, that's definitely not Master Gu, let's go back?" ”

Su Yu stood in place and did not move, his eyes had not yet taken off the man on the other side of the river, the hand holding the hem of his skirt gradually loosened, and his gaze became stunned for a while.

"Since it's not, then it's okay for us to go over, and I don't want to go back now." Su Yu raised his feet and walked over, but he no longer saw the bright smile on his face.

The maid followed her footsteps with the lantern, Su Yu was in a hurry, and the river lantern in the maid's hand fell from the bridge, and was floated away by the river before she could pick it up.

Gu Rin was talking to the woman, when she saw Su Yu coming over, she wanted to step forward and take her hand, but she waved her hand to avoid it, she looked at the woman in front of her for a long time, and she only felt very familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it.

The woman looked at her with a smile, but there was a hint of hostility in this smile.

"Master Gu still has such leisure and leisure, and he can still be accompanied by a beautiful woman when he solves a case." She deliberately used Lord Gu's name to sour him.

"Me and her are not what you think......" Gu Rin saw that something was wrong and opened his mouth to explain.

"You're not me, how do you know what I'm thinking?" Su Yu's words were cold, and he unconsciously felt a sense of alienation, "Is the case being decided in this kind of place?" ”

"Just now I was thinking that Master Gu was busy, and it would be okay to wait a little longer, but now it seems that I was wrong, if you had made it clear to me earlier, you wouldn't have let me wait in the cold wind."

The woman pretended to be aggrieved, and when she saw this, she took the initiative to speak, and still spoke for Gu Rin: "This girl didn't misunderstand, we just met by chance." ”

Su Yu came closer to see her face clearly, and her eyes suddenly shook violently, isn't she Gu Rin's wife in her previous life? Although he is a Hualou Oiran, he is very talented, and he has always been a performer for Gu Rin, and later it became a good story.

It's just that she shouldn't be here in this life...... If you count it, you are the one who occupies the magpie's nest, Su Yu is speechless with complicated feelings in her heart.

She retracted her gaze and closed her eyes, Gu Rin held her hand and explained: "I am indeed solving the case, I happened to rescue her at the hands of the mountain bandits, and now I am ready to send her away, that's all." ”

Su Yu heard the panic in his voice, and didn't know what to do for a while, so he moved the corners of his mouth with difficulty: "I believe you, you don't have to explain to me." ”

Although she said this, Gu Rin was still a little uneasy, and he didn't let go of his grip on her, sensing that she wanted to break free, but he held it tighter.
