After the old grain and rice shop was inspected, Wei Hanyuan quickly cleaned up the new shop.

Before opening, the store still needs to recruit a few guys.

The guys from the original Wei's Grain and Rice Shop had nowhere to go after the shop was confiscated, and they pointed out that the new shop could accommodate them again.

To be honest, when they worked as buddies in Wei's rice shop, they received enough monthly money at the beginning, even more than the buddies of other grain and rice shops.

Later, Shopkeeper Zhong embezzled a lot of silver from the shop in private. Seeing that no one was in charge, he became more and more courageous, and often found some reason to deduct the monthly money of these guys. These guys must have been enslaved by Shopkeeper Zhong for a long time. I didn't even think about reporting him, but forgot who was the one who actually gave them money.

Now that Shopkeeper Zhong has been raided and executed by the government, no one wants to use them even if these guys want to find work in other shops. We can only hope that the head of the Wei family will show mercy.

Gu Rong sat in the shop and calculated.

Today, the rice shop has not yet opened, and Gu Rong is calculating which places need to use silver taels after opening, while waiting to see if he can recruit new employees.

He had just been busy for a while, when he saw a few guys from the old grain and rice shop standing at the door and looking in.

Gu Rong turned his head to Yuan Sheng, who was helping to grind the ink beside him, and said, "Let them in."

Yuan Sheng raised his head, and said to them with a grim expression, "Come in!"

A few guys came in grumbling.

Gu Rong didn't lift his head, but said with a cold expression: "Why, can't you find another home?"

"Master, you're joking," one of the clerks laughed dryly. "Earlier, shopkeeper Zhong withheld our monthly payment for two months. Now that something happened to him, we...we don't know who to turn to... ..."

"You're asking me to ask for money," Gu Rong nodded, and said, "Master Zhong has done so many things, helping the government officials to greedy for military pay, and being so daring, you should all know about these things, right?"

"I know, I know..." the guy answered subconsciously. After finishing speaking, he felt that something was wrong, and quickly changed his words, "No, we don't know, mainly because we are ignorant, and we were also deceived by the shopkeeper Zhong. Master, those fake accounts are indeed true. Shopkeeper Zhong asked us to do it, and we added sand to the rice... These things are indeed because we listened to Shopkeeper Zhong's orders, but we really didn't know that Shopkeeper Zhong was so courageous and dared to hook up with people from the government Otherwise, no matter how courageous we are, we wouldn’t dare to help him do these things!”

Gu Rong dialed the abacus and said: "How about this, I use the word 'loyalty' in a human way, and in view of the fact that you have been busy in the rice shop for so long, I will make up for the money that the shopkeeper Zhong owes you. It can be regarded as my utmost benevolence, you can go wherever you like in the future, there is no way for the young master to take you in here."

After finishing speaking, Gu Rong signaled Xia Yuansheng: "Go and get money for them."

Yuan Sheng took out several strings of copper coins from the cash box in the shop.

"Take it!" Yuan Sheng sent a string to each of them, saying, "Don't block the door, take the money and leave quickly, the young master is still busy."

Those guys took the money, a trace of remorse flashed in their eyes, and they wanted to try to beg Gu Rong again, but they saw Song Qianyuan coming out of the shop.

"Go!" Song Qianyuan looked at them coldly.

If Yuan Sheng came to drive them away, they might be able to pester them for a while longer, but in front of Song Qianyuan, they didn't dare to do it again, and walked away timidly.

"Master confiscated them, they won't come to trouble us someday, right?" Yuan Sheng said worriedly.

"No," Gu Rong said, "The names of these guys and where they live are all recorded here by the young master. What's more, the young master has given them enough money, so they have no reason to come here to make trouble."

"That's right!" Yuan Sheng said with a smile, "With Xiao Qianzi here, who would dare to trouble us again."

After speaking, he returned to Gu Rong's side and continued to work.

Gu Rong flicked the abacus hand for a moment, subconsciously looked up at Song Qianyuan, then lowered his head again.

Because of the new discovery about the system progress bar that night in Laba, Gu Rong couldn't concentrate too much when he was busy these days, especially when Song Qianyuan was by his side, he would always think about it.

After a busy day at the shop, Gu Rong returned to the house, sat down in the study after dinner.

He looked at the account books and books for a while, then glanced aside.

The book of Liu Cairen's painting and calligraphy is still caught among a pile of books.

Gu Rong couldn't help but took it out and looked it up again.

Yuan Sheng happened to bring medicine to Gu Rong, and he saw Gu Rong flipping through the picture album at a glance.

The main reason is that the book and picture album are so easy to recognize, and the covers of other books are different.

Yuan Sheng couldn't help but put down the medicine bowl, and persuaded: "Young master, don't read this book anymore, why do you keep reading this book? If you read too much, you will become as weird as Qiu Wu."

After Gu Rong listened, she raised her head and said, "You think Qiu Wu is strange?"

"No..." Yuan Sheng was taken aback for a moment, "But he really doesn't like women, so he insists on liking men, isn't that strange?"

Gu Rong put his hand on his chin and looked at him: "Men and men like each other, or women and women like each other, what's the difference from the normal love between men and women?"

Yuan Sheng didn't know much, but he could answer this question, so he said: "First of all, most of the men and women in this world love each other, or they get married because of the matchmaker's words. If a man doesn't like women, or Conversely, if women don't like men, they can't form a normal man and woman husband and wife, then...then they won't be able to carry on the family line!"

"Well," Gu Rong felt that what he said made sense, nodded, and said, "Then what?"

"Secondly...Secondly..." Yuan Sheng couldn't say what was next.

"You said that most men and women in this world fall in love with each other. I agree with that, but look at Liu Cairen..."

Gu Rong pointed to the book in his hand, and said: "He can write such a script, which means that there are still a small number of people in this world who are different, just like Qiu Wu."

"But I don't think there is anything wrong with Qiu Wu," Gu Rong said, "He works quickly and is very respectful to the young master, except for occasionally sneaking out to meet his lover."

Gu Rong turned her head to look at Yuan Sheng: "If Yuan Sheng has a woman he likes one day, and secretly runs out to have a private meeting with her behind the young master's back because of her, the young master will only fine you for a few months, as long as you don't delay the young master's time." matter, the young master will not blame you."

Yuan Sheng blushed: "What did the young master say... Yuan Sheng will be with the young master for the rest of his life."

"In the past, the steward Wang of Gu's mansion also married a wife and had children. Father saw that he worked neatly and worked for Gu's mansion for most of his life. He also specially bought a house outside for him, do you remember?"

Of course I remembered, Yuan Sheng hesitated and said: "But young master..."

"So, whoever likes who, whether he likes a man or a woman, as long as it doesn't offend the public, it doesn't hurt the big one." Gu Rong said.

"Well, what the young master said makes sense." Yuan Sheng muttered to himself.

Anyway, the young master is a scholar, no matter what he says is right.

After discussing with Yuan Sheng, Gu Rong seemed to have convinced himself. After a while, he asked Yuan Sheng again: "If one day, you find out that a man likes you and even wants to marry you, what will you do? "

Yuan Sheng looked terrified, looked at Gu Rong and said, "Young master, stop joking."

Gu Rongruo thought: "Are you scared?"

"It's, it's not that I'm afraid..." Yuan Sheng rubbed his arms, "It will feel very strange, and maybe he will gradually alienate him..."

"What if that person is Qiu Wu?"

Yuan Sheng was devastated: "Master!"

"Okay, then I'll change someone else, what if it's me, the young master?"

Yuan Sheng was about to cry: "What did the young master watch, don't embarrass Yuan Sheng..."

Poor Yuan Sheng seemed to be terrified.

Gu Rong pursed her lips and smiled, and let him go for the time being: "Okay, you can go to work."

Yuan Sheng quickly turned and ran away.

After Gu Rong finished drinking the medicine, he put the medicine cup aside, thinking, that's right.

No matter whether Song Qianyuan likes him or not, it is impossible between him and Song Qianyuan.

Song Qianyuan is a prince living among the people.

It doesn't matter whether he wins the position in the future or not.

If he doesn't succeed, Gu Rong will die. If he succeeds, he will be the Ninety-Five Supreme Being. What can Gu Rong bring to him then?

Ordinary people still have to consider the eyes of others, whether they can pass on the family line, and whether others can accept these, let alone the emperor.

Gu Rong couldn't figure out what Song Qianyuan meant by kissing him that day. If it was really because he liked him, then Gu Rong felt that he should find a time to explain it clearly to Song Qianyuan.

What's more, Gu Rong felt that he should like women.

Xiaoqianzi should work hard on the matter of seizing the throne!Now their lives are still in his hands.

It can't be delayed because of this kind of thing.

Thinking of this, Gu Rong decided to put Liu Cairen's calligraphy and painting album back into the pile of books next to him, and went back to the room to rest.

After working in the grain and rice shop for a few days, Gu Rong was really tired.

He thought that since he was in good health recently, there should be no problem if he was a little busy, but he still overestimated himself.

After lying on the bed for two days, Gu Rong was still thinking about going back to work at the grain and rice shop, but Wei Hanyuan drove him away directly, telling him to go back and take care of himself.

Gu Rong had no choice but to go back to the house.

He is already in good health, and he doesn't need to be busy with the business of the store for the time being. Gu Rong suddenly becomes a little unaccustomed to having nothing to do all of a sudden.

Fortunately, Dr. Shi suggested that Gu Rong can go outside for a walk to relax his mind, which is more conducive to his body's recovery.

So Gu Rong picked a sunny day and took Song Qianyuan and Yuan Sheng out for an outing.

Since coming to Jinzhou, Gu Rong hasn't come out to play properly.

Unlike the capital city, Jinzhou has Hongye Mountain and many lake-view gardens, but there is a temple on the outskirts of Jinzhou. It is said that many people will go there to burn incense and pray for blessings, and it is very effective, so Gu Rong decided to go there have a look.

The carriage drove all the way to the outskirts, before arriving at the temple, the first thing I saw was a piece of green water and green mountains.

It turns out that there is still such a place in Jinzhou.

Anyway, Gu Rong came out to play today, so it didn't matter where he went, he just stopped the carriage, he wanted to go down and take a stroll around.

Needless to say, the scenery here is really good.

Gu Rong stood on the pebble beach by the stream, and wanted to ask Song Qianyuan to come over to help him see if there were any fish in the stream, when he suddenly heard a voice next to him.

"It's fate to meet Mr. Gu again."

Gu Rong looked back and found that it was Prince An who had sneaked over from the capital again.
