Chapter Forty-Seven: Expectations Disappointed

In everyone's memory, that day was clear, and the blue sky was like an upside-down sea, and under the sunlight, it became more and more sparkling like an ocean.

The silence in the county office was even more in harmony with the bare sky where there was not a single cloud in sight.

Gu Changqing sat on a chair, in front of him was the table that allowed him to collect a lot of silver from the rich merchant, and at this time there was a large piece of rice paper on the table, and next to the rice paper was the brush he often used.

Because this day occupies a very important position in his heart, Gu Changqing also deliberately put on an official uniform and tidied himself up, looking at his high-spirited face in the bronze mirror after washing up in the morning, he was full of confidence.

But in the face of the empty county government at this time, Gu Changqing really wanted to look up to the sky and howl.

Don't laugh at others, only laugh at yourself.

Heaven and earth are so big, I am so naΓ―ve, I think that I can really rely on my own strength to change the destiny of heaven and change the thoughts that have followed the people for hundreds of years.

I really did it, and it was too wrong.

Despite this, despite Yan Mu, Huai Liu Jiancheng and others persuading him one after another, Gu Changqing still waited from morning to noon, and sat under the warm sun until dusk.

Later, Yanmu really had no choice, so he had to move the food outside, and the three of them ate it.

Gu Changqing had no appetite, but in order not to worry his friends, he still ate something. Seeing that the light of the sun was no longer visible at all, Gu Changqing slowly stood up, stretched his arms and legs vigorously, looked at his friend, and said that he was tired and wanted to go back to rest.

It was only after he had left for a while that Xie Ling came back humming a little song.

These days, Sanniang is preparing to make the business bigger, so she always goes out early and returns late. It's been a long time since I've had a good meal with Gu Changqing in the county office.

Now, as soon as he entered the door, he looked at Yan Mu and Yan Huailiu staring blankly ahead with their chin in unison.

"Hey, what about Gu Changqing? Why didn't I eat with you? Xie Ling looked at the table full of food, and then looked at the two people who inexplicably felt that there were ropes entangled, and said in surprise.

There have been no homicides at all recently, so he will be mixed with Sanniang all day long, but looking at this situation, Gu Changqing must have encountered something again, otherwise he would not have gone without eating.

Then she sat down next to Yanmu, she knew that Yanmu, who had a big mouth like herself, would definitely say anything.

"Evergreen? If you think about it, you can't eat? Yan Mu squinted his eyes and said angrily.

"Really?" Xie Ling knew that this must be fake, if Gu Changqing was willing to let others see that he was so careful, he would not be him, so he replied perfunctorily.

"What do you think? Of course it's fake. However, he has been plotting something recently, but he has been frustrated, and it is a very serious setback, and it is very likely that he will collapse in the future. Yan Mu shook his head and said helplessly.

Wen Yan Xie Ling felt very surprised, "Could it be that you are the one who is the gambling house?" Aren't all the notices already posted? Is there anything left undone? ”

Yan Mu rolled his eyes at him, "Don't pester our family's Gu Changqing in the future, you don't care about him at all?" 1”

Xie Linggang wanted to refute, but he forcibly held back his words, he really cared less about him recently, and only cared about doing things with Sanniang.

"What the hell is going on?" Xie Ling was a little warm

Angry, she was eager to know what happened to Gu Changqing, she always felt that she hadn't paid attention to him recently, and she was blaming herself for this.

"That's right, Gu Changqing wants to hold an activity today, which is to gather those women who are idle at home, train them, and then go to various workshops for on-the-spot inspections. The main purpose is to give those women a chance to work, and they can also subsidize their families, and by the way, they can also promote the expansion of those workshops, so that the goods of Yong'an City can sell more well. It's just that nowadays it's not just those workshops that don't want women workers, but even many women themselves don't want to come out.

The kind of woman who has no elderly at home and whose children have grown up should have the most leisure time to come out to work, but Yanmu and I have traveled to many places and talked to many people, but today, which was originally the day when the event began, no one came all day.

He sat here and waited for a day, not speaking, not eating, not even moving. ”

Yan Huailiu got up after slowly saying these words, walked to Xie Ling's side gently, leaned down and only said words that the two of them could hear, Yan Mu just wanted to lean over and eavesdrop, but Yan Huailiu stretched out his hand and hit him.

Yan Huailiu said that the stronger the man on the surface, the more fragile he is in his heart.

The words that were as thin as the sound of mosquitoes reached the ears, and after the feeling of itching, only shock remained.

For a long time, he and Yanmu have relied on Gu Changqing for many things, as if as long as he is there, he can have no fear and no scruples, because he is powerful, he will always deal with a lot of things for you, and he can sort out those messy idle things that are not worth mentioning at all.

With him, he will have inexplicable peace of mind, thinking that at the beginning, the two of them were still in tension, because they needed to find ghosts in the dark night, but as long as they held his hand, they would inexplicably feel that their side was safe, as if no matter what dangerous things were in front of them, as long as there was this man, they would be safe.

But it seems that even he is ignoring one thing, no matter how strong a person is, there will be times when he is vulnerable, and he will always be the one who others rely on, and occasionally he will want to rely on others.

"Thank you." Xie Ling left these words and walked out quickly, she understood that the current Gu Changqing would definitely feel very uncomfortable and lonely, and she needed herself very much.

"What did you two just say?" Yan Mu lay on Yan Huailiu's side, blinking his eyes and asked shyly.

"It's nothing, you don't understand girls' things."

Yan Huailiu replied lightly, turned around and left, leaving only Yanmu and a bunch of leftovers.

At this time, Xie Ling had also walked to Gu Changqing's small courtyard, the courtyard was empty, she knocked on the door, and no one answered.

Push the door directly in, but there is no shadow of Gu Changqing in the room at all, there is a smell that belongs to him raging in the nostrils.

"Gu Changqing, Gu Changqing?" Xie Ling screamed twice, only the echo answered her.

Just when she was worried and wondering where Gu Changqing had gone, she saw the usually high-spirited Zhan Tian walking over with his wings fluttering.

He gently tugged at Xie Ling's sleeve with his mouth, and then raised his head towards a window in Gu Changqing's room.

"You mean, Gu Changqing is behind the window?"

Xie Ling didn't know why this eagle, who was extremely unaccustomed to herself, was so kind today, just like she didn't know if this eagle really understood her words when he nodded towards her.

But he still walked towards it with his feet up.
