Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

"Master Zheng, Lord Zhuo is here!" The guard of the Zheng Palace came in and reported to Gong Yuanzheng.

Gong Yuanzheng's eyes lit up, "Has Second Brother arrived yet?"

"Yes, Lord Zhuo and the others are already waiting at the palace gate."

Gong Yuanzheng turned his head and looked at his brother Gong Shangjiao, "Brother, come with me to pick up my second brother!"

Gong Shangjiao never refused any request from Gong Yuanzheng, so he naturally nodded and agreed to accompany Gong Yuanzheng to the palace gate.

Gong Zishang sat there with his eyes rolling around. He thought that the New Year was coming soon, and Gong Yuanzheng's second brother might come at this time to give him a New Year gift.

"Brother, I'm going on an expedition. Can I go with you?"

Gong Yuanzheng glanced at Gong Zishang who had a bad look on her face, and naturally knew what she was planning to do. He thought about it and found that he had several blueprints that needed Gong Zishang to make. Since he needed help, he naturally had to give her some benefits, right?

Gong Yuanzheng curled his lips and smiled, "Of course, sister is welcome to go with us."

Gong Ziyu stood there like a piece of wood. Gong Yuanzheng looked at him with disdain. Although he was very dissatisfied that the blade was taken advantage of by Gong Ziyu, a loser, he still had to give him some face when they were out.

"Then please ask Master Yu to come along, otherwise who knows how people outside will view our palace." Gong Yuanzheng called Gong Ziyu to come along in a bad mood.

Gong Ziyu just felt that the sky was turning from cloudy to sunny, as if there was a turn for the better regarding his loan.

The four of them came to the palace gate together. After the guards opened the gate, they saw that the open space outside the palace gate was filled with boxes of various sizes, and there were dozens of boats loaded with cargo parked by the lake nearby.

"Second brother!"

Gong Yuanzheng looked at Zhuo Yichen, who was directing the palace gate guards to move the boxes off the ship, and rushed over with shining eyes.

Zhuo Yichen turned around and caught Gong Yuanzheng who was rushing towards him. Taking advantage of Zhao Yuanzhou walking past him, he quietly took out the silver silk-wrapped double-buckle bracelet given by his father from his arms and stuffed it into Gong Yuanzheng's arms.

"This is given to you by your seniority. Take it out and read it when you are alone in Zheng Palace, or find someone you trust. Don't let anyone else know." Zhuo Yichen whispered to Gong Yuanzheng.

After all, the palace gate is like a big colander, with all kinds of monsters and demons inside. We are afraid that it will be seen by someone with ulterior motives, and if it is not handled properly, it will affect the expedition.

Although Gong Yuanzheng didn't understand why he had to be told secretly, he knew his second brother wouldn't harm him, and his father wouldn't harm him either, so he was very obedient and didn't tell anyone.

After Gong Yuanzheng withdrew from Zhuo Yichen's arms, although he tried hard to pretend to be himself, Gong Shangjiao, who was a shrewd man, still noticed something. However, since it was said in private, it meant that it could not be known to outsiders.

Gong Zishang is also a smart person. Although she often violates the family rules in the palace and is punished by Lao Zhiren and forced to kneel by the elders, she does not ask questions about things she should not know, and she knows what she should know without asking.

Gong Ziyu, the big silly cow, just stood there like a mascot, staring at Wen Xiao. Just as he was about to speak, Gong Zishang, who was standing next to him, covered his mouth.

"Brother Yuanzheng, brother Shangjiao, Gong Ziyu and I have some things to deal with, so we'll leave first!" Gong Zishang covered Gong Ziyu's mouth with one hand and hooked his neck with the other hand and dragged him away.

Zhao Yuanzhou saw that although the woman was not petite, she was still a woman after all. How could she be so strong that she could drag such a tall and strong man and run so fast as if she was afraid of being caught up by something?

"Master Zheng, your palace is truly a place of outstanding people and talents! Not only are all the men excellent, but even the women are so outstanding!"

Who is Zhao Yuanzhou? He is a person who can act out any kind of performance, and he loves to use the most elegant words to tease others.

Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Shangjiao sometimes really wanted to hit someone, but what could they do? After all, she was their sister, a person related to them by blood, so they could only pretend that they didn't see it.

"The eldest lady is the head of the Shang Palace, in charge of the palace's gunpowder and weapons manufacturing, so she is indeed stronger than ordinary women." What can Gong Shangjiao do? He can only find a reason to cover up for Gong Zishang.

"Jin Fu, go and help Lord Zhuo move these things back to Zheng Palace." In order to avoid being asked any more questions, Gong Shangjiao could only find something to do quickly.

Jin Fu had already been waiting behind Gong Shangjiao with a group of guards from Jiao Palace, waiting for Gong Shangjiao's order.

Gong Yuanzheng also quickly pulled Zhuo Yichen aside to talk and chat, as he didn't want to recall the embarrassing pair of siblings.

Although Ying Lei and Bai Jiu had also been to the palace gate, they had never been to the Old Dust Valley at the foot of the mountain where the palace gate was located, so they did not come together, but instead took some money from Zhuo Yichen and wandered around the foot of the mountain.

After Gong Yuanzheng brought Zhuo Yichen and the others back to Zheng Palace, after confirming that there were no outsiders present, Zhao Yuanzhou cast a spell to cover the entire hall to prevent outsiders from eavesdropping.

"Second brother, is there something wrong with the double-buckle bracelet you just stuffed into my hand?"

After Zhao Yuanzhou finished casting the spell, Gong Yuanzheng immediately asked him the question that had been on his mind.

"Father has several gold mines in the Great Wilderness. Here is the annual gold mining output for this year. It is for you to make jewelry, tailor clothes, forge hidden weapons or make furniture." Zhuo Yichen took a sip of tea. "Of course, if you want to use these gold ores as money, you can, but it's a bit troublesome. You need to report to the government, and then wait for the procedures to be passed, and then the government will make them into gold bricks or gold nuggets, and then you can use them."

Even Gong Shangjiao, who was always rich and powerful, couldn't help but take a deep breath after hearing Zhuo Yichen's words. A gold mine! Although it was a gold mine in the wilderness rather than in the human world, it was still a remarkable existence.

"And in those boxes, there are ten boxes of meteorite iron from the Great Wilderness that you can use to make hidden weapons, five boxes of moonstone that can be cut into clothes, and some jewels that can be made into jewelry or added to clothes."

Zhuo Yichen picked up a few things and told Gong Yuanzheng about them.

"There are also some rare and precious herbs and some extinct herbal seeds that my father had people search for in the wilderness. Elder Wang in the mansion prepared several medical records and put them in the box after sorting them out."

Zhuo Yichen knew that what Gong Yuanzheng liked most were the magical herbs, poisonous herbs and rare herbal seeds.

"Really? I've been pestering Mr. Wang to give me some of his medical books, but he kept refusing. How come he agreed to give them to me so easily now?"

When Gong Yuanzheng heard that there were not only his favorite herbs and herb seeds, but also the medical book of Master Wang that he had always coveted, he was still a little skeptical. After all, he had pestered Master Wang so much in Tiandu before, but he still didn't give it to him. How could he give it to him so easily now?

Zhuo Yichen tapped Gong Yuanzheng's forehead and said, "That's because he hadn't sorted out his retirement plan yet, so it was inconvenient for him to give it to you. Who knew you would be so angry that you refused to work with him on the prescription again."

Gong Yuanzheng blushed at what Zhuo Yichen said, and turned around and buried himself in his brother Gong Shangjiao's arms.

Gong Shangjiao felt that he had seen enough of the drama. "Yuan Zheng is young, so it is normal for him to have some temper. I still hope that Master Zhuo can speak to Master Wang on Yuan Zheng's behalf."

Zhuo Yichen just waved his hand and said, "Old Wang will naturally not argue with Yuan Zheng. After all, Yuan Zheng is so talented, and Old Wang loves him so much! Otherwise, he wouldn't have eagerly sorted out his medical records and sent them to Yuan Zheng."

The three of them looked at Gong Yuanzheng, who was burying his head in Gong Shangjiao's arms like an ostrich, and burst into laughter, which only made Gong Yuanzheng bury his head deeper in laughter.
