Chapter 4 Current Situation

Walking out of the teahouse, the rain has been continuous into a line, the pedestrians on the street have quickened their pace, and some people have hid under the eaves to watch the rain curtain, Qingming didn't know where to take out a paper umbrella, and Gu Huai, who was wearing a cyan Confucian shirt, also walked into the rain.

Letting a girl hold an umbrella is somewhat ungentlemanly, but Gu Huai didn't notice these at the moment, and just walked silently in the direction of returning home.

Turning sideways to let a pair of talented and beautiful women snuggle up, Qingming, who had been looking at her coldly for a long time, suddenly spoke: "What do you want to do?" ”

"Where?"

"Medical books, the plague, and that old man," Qingming frowned, "what are you having?" ”

"Actually, I think you can ask a little more tactfully... You still can't see that I'm a good person after all this time? ”

"I can't see it."

Gu Huai shook his head, revealing a compassionate face: "Such a natural disaster, hundreds of people have been displaced, it's just heartbreaking, I have to think of a way to save them... You see, I'm a moral model compared to the profiteers who made their fortunes. ”

Qingming's hand hidden in his sleeve clenched tightly.

"Okay, I won't tease you," Gu Huai keenly sensed a hint of danger, "I want to make some money." ”

Qingming's good-looking eyes narrowed, quietly waiting for the following.

"The plague is not unsolvable, maybe it can be cured, listen to Qian Lao said, at least tens of thousands of people's lives hang by a thread, how much merit is this?" Gu Huai smiled, "And in addition to merit, tens of thousands of people... Even if the cost of treatment is half as low as that of the profiteers who hoard medicinal herbs, it is astronomical. ”

A hint of obvious disgust swept through Qingming's eyes: "What's the difference between you and those profiteers?" ”

Gu Huai was stunned, and sighed a little: "I didn't expect you to stand on the moral high ground and accuse me as soon as you came up... What is the difference between getting rich by the plague and those profiteers? There is a way to save your life, but you don't take it out, but instead use it as a cash cow? ”

Qingming didn't speak, I don't know if it's a tacit acquiescence.

The rain in early summer is very cool on the face, which can make people's thoughts much clearer, Gu Huai didn't expect this cold-faced maid who doesn't care about everything to have such a sense of justice, but looking at Qingming's eyes, he still explained:

"Think about it, first of all, whether it can be cured or not, you still need to experiment, and secondly, even if it can really be cured, the prescription is handed over, and now there are so many profiteers, is the corresponding medicinal material going crazy? Will the pharmacies that are now afraid to accept patients offer sky-high prices? And do they really want to see the plague cured in a short time? With such a way to make money, wouldn't it be better to have a long stream? ”

He pointed meaningfully to the umbrella in Qingming's hand: "If the umbrella seller can control the weather... The rain doesn't stop. ”

Faced with these words that pointed directly to the hearts of the people, Qingming was silent for a long time: "It can be handed over to the government." ”

"Official? In terms of efficiency, it will only be slower than those folk pharmacies," Gu Huai shook his head, "And from the grassroots level upwards, I don't know how many hands and mouths are waiting, who can guarantee that the low-level officials are not selfish?" Who can guarantee that those officials will keep the words 'human life at stake' to heart? ”

This time the silence was longer than the last time, and Qingming stopped: "You have never been in business, and you have never been in business, where did you know this?" ”

Gu Huai also stopped, looked at the azure color of the sky with his sleeves, and suddenly felt a little tired: "Can I skip this topic?" ”

"And... Who said I was going to earn the people's money? ”

......

When they returned to the front of the mansion, the rain was already much heavier, even with paper umbrellas, Gu Huai and Qingming still had traces of being wet by the rain, and under the dripping eaves in front of the mansion, a long line of carriages had been parked.

Gu Huai patted the rain on his body, a little puzzled, after all, he had never seen a guest from the house in the past month, but just a moment later, a group of people hugged Li Mingzhu and walked out, which made Gu Huai understand something.

Li Mingzhu also saw him under the eaves, and stopped: "Official." ”

screamed much more easily than normal at the beginning, after all, he had been acting for more than half a month, Gu Huai met the eyes of the dense cast, and twisted the water on the cuffs:

"Lady... Going out? ”

"There are some things that need to be taken by the concubine," Li Mingzhu pulled her sideburns and said a few words behind her, and the crowd gradually dispersed: "Did the official come back from playing chess?" ”

Gu Huai glanced at Qingming: "Recently, I prefer to go to the teahouse to watch chess... It's getting late, and there are showers, is the lady in such a hurry? ”

"It's not good to delay for a long time," Li Mingzhu shook his head slightly, "Yesterday, someone sent a pair of ancient chess boxes, and the concubine didn't like to play chess, so she sent it to the official's room, and if the official went to the teahouse again, he could also bring it." ”

Not only do you like the name of the common people, but also the way you get along with each other like commoners? Gu Huai was a little clear, and nodded lightly: "Thank you lady, lady be careful all the way." ”

The greetings should end here, and it stands to reason that after seeing Li Mingzhu get into the carriage, he can live his life as he wants, but a voice suddenly sounded in the oblique thorn: "It's too presumptuous!" If it's in front of people, it's just that, and now you dare to take a 'lady'?! Call Your Highness! ”

After the crowd dispersed, there was only one person left in place, looking at the armor dressed as a guard or something, in his early twenties, he was handsome and handsome, but he seemed to be a little anxious.

Gu Huai met the man's gaze, only to find that he was actually talking to himself, and just as he didn't understand what was happening, Li Mingzhu's voice on the side also cooled down: "Commander Yang, it's over!" ”

"Pearl..."

"Don't call this palace by its name," Li Mingzhu's pretty face was cold, "Yang Wu, remember, he is the concubine of this palace!" ”

Seeing this scene, especially after noticing the embarrassment and anger on Yang Wu's face, Gu Huai's gaze gradually became thoughtful.

After being reprimanded, Yang Wu didn't say anything, but glanced at this side a little fiercely, Li Mingzhu said goodbye to Gu Huai again, and then got into the luxuriously decorated carriage, and before Yang Wu rode on the high-headed horse, he lowered his voice and said a cruel word:

"I even pretended to have amnesia to get close to Mingzhu... Shame on the end! Remember your identity, it's just a shield, don't be ignorant! ”

With a few whips, the convoy began to move forward, and Gu Huai, who was standing under the eaves, looked back at Qingming:

"He's the one who did it?"

Qingming looked away.

The back of his head suddenly began to ache faintly again, this month I inquired about what happened, it seems that I ran to the gambling house the next day after passing the door, and took a group of fox friends and dog friends to have fun, and when I returned home, I blocked Yang Wu, and the back of my head was sheathed.

Now that I think about it, this scabbard is estimated to have directly slapped people to death, so that Gu Huai will open his eyes again, and judging from the scene in front of him, it seems that the situation is not as simple as not being able to see a lesson.

"The commander of the pro-army guards... Can you call the name so intimately? ”

Qingming looked over: "He grew up with Miss." ”

"That's a childhood sweetheart?" Gu Huai raised his eyebrows, turned around and entered the mansion, "The vegetable field that has been guarded for more than ten years has been arched to foreign pigs, no wonder you are in a hurry." ”

Qingming was stunned, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth: "You are self-aware... But did you really forget about him? ”

"Why, you still want me to beat him up just now?"

"He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child."

"That's it."

"You should have made a fuss before."

"That's ugly, and it's not profitable, how stupid you have to be to get yourself in trouble."

Qingming followed behind Gu Huai, a little puzzled.

Although there was not much contact, Gu Huai was staring at her when she entered the mansion, before and after the coma, this scholar was completely different.

Could it be that amnesia can really change a person into something completely different? Or is it...

She stopped: "Are you pretending?" ”

"Huh?"

"Like he said, pretending to have amnesia to change his mind in order to get close to Miss?"

"Huh?"

"I persuaded you to die of this heart, Miss will not like you."

Gu Huai was stunned for a long time, watching this girl who was a little stupid in his heart suddenly become serious, he couldn't help but reach out and touch her hair, ignoring the murderous gaze:

"Has anyone ever said before that you're a little lacking?"
