At night, Gu Rong was sitting at the table in the bedroom reading a book.

He has learned a little about the account book recently, and he has roughly read a few books about business operations, and made a lot of records. Recently, he asked Wei Hanyuan to come to the account books of the other three shops, and carefully read them. , I plan to go to the store to take a look in a few days and ask the shopkeeper for advice.

Looking at it, Gu Rong fell asleep again unknowingly.

He has always been like this recently, probably because the house was too warm from burning coals.

Gu Rong was worried that there was still a bowl of medicine that he didn't drink, and he didn't sleep too much.

After a while, he heard a slight knock on the door from outside.

Is it Yuansheng?

Gu Rong wanted to ask, but couldn't open his eyes because he was too sleepy.

The sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer, and a familiar aura came from the other party. Only then did Gu Rong realize that it was Song Qianyuan.

Thinking of Song Qianyuan picking him up and sending him to the bed yesterday, Gu Rong struggled subconsciously, and was about to wake up when he found that the other party's hand had landed on top of his head.

Gu Rong: "?"

Song Qianyuan rubbed the top of Gu Rong's hair with his broad palm, and then...he felt the cold aura on Song Qianyuan's body getting closer and closer to him.

Getting closer.

A moist and warm touch fell on Gu Rong's face.

[Progress bar +1]

Gu Rong: "?!"

The hairs all over his body exploded immediately, and he was hesitating whether to wake up at this time, when there was another knock on the door in the room.

"Master, it's time to take medicine."

It's Yuan Sheng.

Gu Rong pretended to be woken up by him, rubbed her eyes, and sat up.

"Little Qianzi?" Yuan Sheng was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Are you back?"

"Well," Song Qianyuan looked back at Gu Rong, and said, "Young master, I just went to the post station quickly, and sure enough, Prince An and his people did not go far, so Xiaoqianzi told the results of the discussion between his wife and the young master. Tell Zhou Liang, Zhou Liang said that he will do it for us in the morning."

Song Qianyuan is really neat in his work.

Gu Rong nodded.

After finishing what should be said, Song Qianyuan quickly withdrew.

Gu Rong was a little absent-minded.

After drinking the medicine, Gu Rong lay down on the bed and summoned the system.

"system."

【exist. ] The system quickly answered.

"Where is the task progress bar?"

The system was silent for a moment, and said: "The progress bar of the second stage is full."

full?

Gu Rong asked: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

The system said: [Due to some functional failures, the system is in the process of self-repair for a long time, and the response is slow. The host can rest assured that the progress bar of the second stage is just full. If the host does not ask in time, the system will also check the progress after detecting the progress. Notified immediately. 】

All in all, the progress bar of the second stage is full.

Gu Rong suddenly thought, so the day of Song Qianyuan's departure is getting closer and closer.

If Song Qianyuan really leaves in the future and succeeds in seizing the throne, will he still remember himself?

Maybe it was because I just read the book written by Liu Cairen yesterday, Gu Rong started to think about it for a while.

For example, why did Song Qianyuan kiss him just now?

Is it because you like him?

But he was leaving soon.

At that time, if Song Qianyuan confessed to him like the little nurse in the book, how would he respond then?

I'm sorry, I don't like you?

Or...is it not suitable for us?

Gu Rong picked and chose, not knowing how to respond so as not to hurt Song Qianyuan's heart.

He felt like he was a bit bad.

but……

Since the task given by the system is for him to humiliate Song Qianyuan, then Song Qianyuan should hate him very much, why does he like him?

Gu Rong couldn't figure it out.

He decided to find a way to test Song Qianyuan another day to see what was going on.

A few days later, Song Qianyuan brought back news that the governor sent by the capital was coming to Jinzhou.

This lord was originally sent to the south of the Yangtze River, but it is said that he heard that someone had reported that the Jinzhou military government had embezzled the Mexican army's salary, so he came here to investigate the case at the emperor's order.

Jinzhou is considered to be under the foot of half of the emperor. Since the emperor issued a strict order to investigate this matter thoroughly, the speed is not uncommon.

However, it took more than a month to go back and forth.

Fortunately, Wei Hanyuan made preparations in advance, and spread out the grain and rice before the incident happened.

At that time, the clock shopkeeper thought that Wei Hanyuan was a mere woman, and he couldn't do anything to him, so he made such a bad move to sell the shop, so he immediately contacted Jinzhou Military Affairs Office. Not letting go of this opportunity, he sent someone to quickly take over the grain and rice shop.

So far, this group of people is self-inflicted.

The black gauze hat on the head of the Jinzhou military government is not guaranteed, and it is handed over to Yushitai for investigation.

But shopkeeper Zhong and Mr. Li from Li Ji were executed by all the families for committing serious crimes.

At the same time, Wei Hanyuan also started to make a fuss about opening a new grain and rice shop.

Wei Hanyuan planned to hand over the grain and rice shop to Gu Rong after the shop opened, so that he could learn to run it by himself in the future.

Gu Rong was trembling, and since he heard the news, he started running to "He Ru" every now and then, wanting to learn more things before the store opened.

Not to mention, after Zhou Liang sent someone to greet the acting shopkeeper of "He Ru", every time Gu Rong went to their place, he really learned a lot.

Once I got busy, the days passed quickly, and I arrived in Laba in a blink of an eye.

Gu Rong's health is getting better and better recently, he hasn't been exposed to wind and cold for a long time, and occasionally he is busy in the shop for a day, but he is not too tired. As long as he has a good rest and sleeps for a night, he can regain his spirit the next day.

Seeing this, Wei Hanyuan was very happy, and asked the kitchen to cook a pot of Laba porridge, planning to celebrate it at night.

In the evening, after eating Laba porridge with the servants in the house, Gu Rong went back to the yard.

Yuan Sheng was happy last night, he ate a bit too much, and when he was struggling, Gu Rong simply refused to let him serve him, and asked him to rest early after eating. The other servants in the house went to play together.

For a moment, only Gu Rong and Song Qianyuan were left in the yard.

Gu Rong originally wanted Song Qianyuan to go back to the house to rest for a while, but Song Qianyuan refused, saying that since he left, the young master would have no one to serve him.

In fact, Gu Rong didn't need anyone to wait on him tonight, he had finished his medicinal bath before dinner, and he could go to bed and have an early rest after reading a book.

But Song Qianyuan didn't leave, and Gu Rong couldn't help him.

It's snowing outside, and it's almost the New Year's Eve.

The window in Gu Rong's room was opened a crack, and he looked out through the window. There was a thick layer of snow in the courtyard, which seemed to glow under the moonlight.

Song Qianyuan was sitting on the railing under the eaves, looking at the white snow in the courtyard like Gu Rong, because his back was facing Gu Rong, Gu Rong could not see his expression, nor did he know what he was thinking.

"Little Qianzi." Gu Rong couldn't help calling him.

Song Qianyuan quickly turned around: "Master called me?"

He straightened up, turned around and walked to the window, lowered his head slightly and said, "What's your order?"

Gu Rong thought for a while and said, "I want to eat dumplings stuffed with bean paste."

Song Qianyuan was taken aback for a moment, and said, "It's already so late..."

"But I suddenly want to eat."

Song Qianyuan immediately said, "I'll let the kitchen do it."

"I still want to eat Fuyuanji's calendula cake."

Song Qianyuan paused.

Fuyuanji is a pastry shop in Jinzhou, not far from the house. Wei Hanyuan passed by there before and brought back a copy of the calendula cake sold there for Gu Rong to eat. Gu Rong liked the taste very much.

It's just that it's so late, is that pastry shop still open?

Song Qianyuan said: "Young Master, wait a moment, Little Qianzi will be back soon."

After saying that, he left.

Gu Rong watched Song Qianyuan's figure leave the courtyard, and disappeared outside the courtyard in a flash.

"System," Gu Rong asked in his heart, "is the progress bar up?"

【No. 】The system answers.

It didn't rise, which meant that Gu Rong's tossing just now didn't work.

Soon Song Qianyuan came back with the calendula cake bought from Fuyuanji in his arms.

"Master, eat it while it's hot." Song Qianyuan handed him the marigold cake wrapped in oil paper, "When Xiaoqianzi arrived there, Fuyuanji was about to close. This is the last pot, luckily in time."

Gu Rong reached out to open the oiled paper.

But he ate so much tonight that he couldn't eat any more.

Gu Rong hesitated and took a bite.

"Hey!" Gu Rong sighed intentionally, "Sure enough, it's the last pot, it's a bit cold, it's not good!"

After speaking, he threw the pack of calendula cakes on the table, and said with a wrinkled face, "No more."

"..." Song Qianyuan came over, opened the oil-paper bag, hesitated for a moment, picked up a piece, and said, "Master, let Xiao Qianzi taste it."

After speaking, he brought it to his mouth and took a bite: "It's hot, not cold."

He hurried all the way, holding the oiled paper bag firmly in his arms, and even though this marigold cake was the last pot, it was just out of the pot, how could it be cold?

Gu Rong still said: "It's not delicious, don't!"

Song Qianyuan said: "Then I will eat for the young master."

After speaking, he put the marigold cake that Gu Rong had just bitten into his mouth and ate it together.

Originally, because he had done a lot of work, he had a large appetite, and he didn't eat as much as Yuan Sheng for dinner, so he ate up the whole bag of marigold cakes in two or three times.

Seeing that he was eating so deliciously, Gu Rong couldn't bear to part with it, and looked aside eagerly and said, "You don't want to waste it."

Song Qianyuan smiled.

In the end, the stuffed bean paste dumplings from the kitchen naturally entered Song Qianyuan's stomach. After Song Qianyuan finished eating, Gu Rong asked the system again: "Has the progress bar increased?"

The system was quiet for a moment, and said: [No. 】

still none?

Seeing Song Qianyuan put away the bowl and was about to leave, Gu Rong pondered for a while, then stopped him and said, "Little Qian, wait a minute."

Song Qianyuan stopped in his tracks, raised his dark eyes and looked at him: "What else do you want, Master?"

Gu Rong bit her lower lip and said to him, "Come here."

After being tossed about twice by Gu Rong, Song Qianyuan showed no sign of impatience on his face. He put down the empty bowl in his hand and came over, saying, "Master, please tell me."

Gu Rong sat on the stool by the table and waved to him: "Come here again."

Song Qianyuan showed a trace of confusion between his brows, and lowered his head slightly.

Gu Rong took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and said, "You got something on the corner of your lips."

Song Qianyuan's pupils shrank slightly.

Then he looked at Gu Rong holding the veil in his hand, raised his hand to his lips, and gently wiped the corner of his lips with the veil.

"Okay." Gu Rong said in a low voice.

[Progress bar +1]

The voice of the system came to Gu Rong's mind.

At the same time, Gu Rong saw himself reflected in Song Qianyuan's eyes, and there was even an emotion that Gu Rong couldn't understand in the deep black eyes.

After a long time, Song Qianyuan straightened up and said in a low voice: "Next time Xiaoqianzi gets something on the corner of his mouth, the young master can just say it."

"Oh." Gu Rong blushed in response.

Song Qianyuan said again: "Since that's the case, Xiao Qianzi will help you wash this handkerchief in the young master's hand."

After speaking, he took the veil from Gu Rong's hand, turned and left.

The moment he turned around, Gu Rong saw the corner of his mouth slightly upward.
