The villain is far from my CP!

Early in the morning, when the sun was rising, there were already faint voices in Jiangdu County Shoufu.

The hour of the county guard's mansion is on the hour every day, but the new county guard, Mr. Chang, often sits in front of the desk and starts working at a little later than the hour, which makes the atmosphere of the entire government office tense.

Chang Cen approved several documents reported by the subordinate counties, still talking about the disaster situation.

The old man raised his hand to rub his temples, and heard a knock on the door outside.

"Teacher, it's me." Qi Changting's voice came in.

Chang Cen was slightly stunned, looking at the inscriptions in the corner of his eyes, it was already the beginning of time.

Qi Changting has always been punctual, even if he quarreled with himself because of the dredging that day, it never affected his work attitude. Later, he somehow thought about it and became more serious.

But why did you come so late today?

"Come in."

squeak--

There was a light knock on the door hinge, and the boy entered the room against the sunlight.

Because of the backlight, Chang Cen didn't see the faint blackness in front of Qi Changting's eyes until the door was closed again.

"Did you rest well?" Chang Cen frowned.

But Qi Changting just shook his head and said it was okay, then took out an envelope from his sleeve and presented it to him.

"The students got the method of raising funds for dredging the day before yesterday. They studied it all night and didn't sleep. Today they want to hear the teacher's opinion."

Chang Cen vaguely knew that Qi Changting had taken in a young retainer in Jiangdu, who was still a woman, and this plan probably came from there.

He has no prejudice against women, but Qi Changting's expression is a little strange.

Since all the plans were shown to him, there must be merits. This should be a happy event, so why did his complexion not heal?

Why is the complexion unhealed?

Thinking of this, Qi Changting's expression darkened again.

He had just arrived in Jiangdu before, and hadn't encountered the variable Baiqiao, so he asked his subordinate Qi Tonghe, who is best at money and food, who is the head of the Qi family and the shopkeeper of Qianfang Cabinet Workshop, to explain the matter at hand. Come to Jiangdu to help him.

For example, the first time he went to the Jiangtang cabinet shop to discuss borrowing money to buy grain, he took the plan that Qi Tonghe had drafted for him in Dongdu.

It's a pity that I didn't talk about the old fritters of the shopkeeper Jiang.

Later, all the problems were solved because of Baiqiao, so Qi Changting sent another message telling Qi Tonghe not to come, who knew that he was halfway there at that time, but he rushed here anyway, he just arrived last night.

And when he arrived, the first sentence he said was: "Your Highness must not let that woman mess around!"

Qi Changting paused imperceptibly with the hand holding the fan.

To be honest, he was a little dissatisfied, but it was understandable after thinking about it.

Qi Tonghe was over forty years old, he was the last person left to him after his mother concubine and his grandfather's family had an accident, not only proficient in business, but also loyal to him.

In the past few years, if Qi Tonghe hadn't supported him outside the palace, he wouldn't have had such a good time.

He even called Qi Tonghe Uncle Qi in private.

But Qi Tonghe's biggest problem is his arrogance and relying on the old to sell the old, and he has deep prejudices against women and young people.

Now that he, the "young man" and that "young woman" in Baiqiao got together and stepped on each other's tricks, it was reasonable for people to worry that he would be cheated.

It just so happened that he had just received the plan for dredging the silt that day, and in order to change Qi Tonghe's perception as soon as possible, he invited him to discuss it together.

Unexpectedly, Qi Tonghe slapped Baiqiao across the air with his nose not his nose and his eyes not his eyes because of that plan.

In the end, Qi Changting almost ended the conversation before he was about to rise to personal attacks.

Before that, Qi Changting thought that facing such a big event, Baiqiao might indeed have neglected something.

But after listening to it, he vaguely realized that there might be a problem with the plan, but the bigger problem was Qi Tonghe.

He seems to be mistreating people.

But Qi Tonghe treats him like a nephew, and treats him as much as a mountain, and he doesn't want to chill Qi Tonghe's heart.

But in the same way, it is even more impossible for him to wrong Baiqiao because of Qi Tonghe's mistake.

Just when Qi Changting's mind gradually turned to Baiqiao, Chang Cen finally finished reading the stack of letters.

He took a deep breath, and...

Rubbing her eyes in pain:

The words written on this thing are too small!

But the old man refused to admit that he was old, he coughed lightly to call Qi Changting's attention back.

"I've seen the plan," Chang Cen thought about his choice of words, and finally said with a calm smile, "Although I'm not good at money and food, this plan at first glance...is brilliant."

After the words fell, the young man sitting opposite Chang Cen suddenly raised his eyes and looked over.

Chang Cen seldom praised others like this, at least in Qi Changting's impression, he only praised himself like this once.

The young man felt a little sour in his heart, but soon after that, he began to sweeten inexplicably.

Although he didn't know why it was so sweet, it didn't prevent him from opening the bamboo fan and shaking it lightly, seeming to cover the corner of his mouth that couldn't help turning up.

He Cheng stood beside his master silently, glanced stiffly, and then stiffly withdrew his gaze.

He Cheng: "...?"

Where does the vague sense of accomplishment in your smile come from?

Chang Cen's eyesight and emotional intelligence are not enough to support him to see Qi Changting's abnormality.

He directly asked the initial doubts: "At least it seems that this plan is indeed feasible. What are you worrying about?"

Qi Changting was not surprised that Chang Cen would ask this, but he didn't intend to tell Chang Cen about Qi Tonghe and Ganfang Cabinet, otherwise Chang Cen would definitely doubt his "initial intention" as a courtier.

So he put it another way.

"The teacher thinks, if I report this plan to my elder brother, will I be able to convince him?"

Chang Cen, who was about to serve tea, paused for a moment, but quickly said nonchalantly, "Your Highness will understand after reading it."

"But..." Chang Cen took a sip of tea, but finally sighed softly.

"However, maybe we have to make some effects to be more convincing."

After all, Chang Cen knew that Qi Jingmin's mind was not right, and he hoped to be more impeccable in his preparations.

At times like these in the past, Qi Changting was about to sneer in his heart again.

But today, for the first time, the boy turned his attention elsewhere.

Yes, wouldn't it be nice to make some effects?

Qi Tonghe and Bai Qiao's quarreled with each other, no matter how distorted their expressions were, it was still just talking on paper.

Facts speak louder than words, and he doesn't need to speak, the choices of merchants will mercilessly puncture the prejudice that shouldn't be there.

The boy flicked his sleeves and put away the folding fan, and solemnly bid farewell to Chang Cen. The restlessness in his body sank instantly as if being wrapped in sea water.

"Go and invite Miss Bai, and wait for me at Yuansheng Restaurant." He tilted his head and ordered.

He Chengying is, but in fact he really wants to ask one more question: Are you really so sure that the merchant will stand on Baiqiao's side?

But he didn't ask after all.

Because he could vaguely guess that if he really asked, Qi Changting would definitely answer him:

Yes, I believe her.

As for why.

About……

When Qi Changting reached the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion, he suddenly stopped and looked in a certain direction.

He Cheng also looked along, and saw a familiar carriage parked beside the path outside the government office.

The girl was sitting leaning against the car door, as if she hadn't woken up, her head was shaking little by little.

"Ah, why is Miss Bai here?" He Cheng said to himself in amazement.

Qi Changting couldn't help lowering his eyes, and the corners of his lips slightly raised again.

Probably because of the damn tacit understanding.
