The strongman's wife who traveled through time and space and became a young general

"Miss Qiu'er is absolutely right. I will tell Grandpa everything Miss Qiu'er said just now." Gu Anqing said with a smile, and continued,

"This time, I want to tell Miss Qiu'er that the military camp has dealt with the relevant people last night regarding the account books. The soldier in charge of the grain and weapons said that the same person in the county office did the registration every time. The numbers he recorded each time did not match the numbers registered in the account books obtained from the county magistrate."

Lin Qiu'er's eyes turned, and she immediately understood the key point. "The current situation is that the numbers in the account book don't match, but it's still unclear where the problem is and who did it."

Gu Anqing nodded, showing an expression of having gotten the answer right, and said, "It is indeed as Miss Qiu'er said. Let Second Uncle investigate the barracks, and we will have to investigate the county government ourselves."

Lin Qiuer showed a smug smile and pointed at Gu Anqing with her index finger. "Mr. Gu, look, Mr. Gu wants to investigate the county government's accounts, and the Song family also wants a chance to get promoted. This is called mutual benefit, isn't it perfect?"

Gu Anqing frowned when he heard this. He didn't know whether it was a good idea or a bad idea to ask his grandfather to send the evidence of recommending a civil servant for a position to the imperial city just because the Gu family wanted to investigate the accounts of food, fodder and weapons.

However, whether to recommend someone from the Song family to become the magistrate of Lingao County depends on whether you can tell grandpa about Miss Qiu'er's inference and let grandpa make the final judgment.

"In that case, I will go talk to grandpa about the Song family's application for an official position." Gu Anqing stood up slowly after saying this. He was busy all night without rest and now felt a little tired.

Lin Qiu'er also noticed something unusual from his slow rise, so she asked with concern, "Mr. Gu, didn't you rest last night? Although you are still young, you should know that you have just recovered from the poison, and your body is not as good as before.

Besides, you are the only one left in your family now, except for Old Master Gu who is also poisoned. You must not ignore your own health."

Gu Anqing could hear the deep concern in Lin Qiuer's words, and his heart warmed. He nodded and agreed, "Thank you for your concern, Miss Qiuer. I understand. Then I will take my leave first. If Miss Qiuer wants to visit the prosperous places in the county, you can let Changqing lead the way."

Then he pointed at Changqing and ordered, "Changqing, I don't need you to serve me in the mansion. You can accompany Miss Qiu'er out of the mansion for me."

Changqing leaned forward and accepted the order.

Originally, Lin Qiuer had no great interest in traveling outside the house, but after hearing their proposals one by one, and remembering her plan to open a shop in the county town, and then have all the unmarried men in Nalan Village come down to work there, and then have them find wives, get married, and have children, she immediately changed her mind.

She decided to go out and tour around the county.

"Then I'll trouble you, Changqing. This is our first time in the county town, so you have to tell me where there are delicious foods, fun places, and cheap and nice houses."

When Lin Nanye heard this, the scene in which his younger sister insisted on not letting them find an adopted brother and insisted that the two brothers get married and have children flashed through his mind.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel his face getting slightly hot.

Gu Anqing asked doubtfully, "Miss Qiu'er wants to look at a house. Are you planning to move to the county town?"

Thinking that Qiu'er and her family had moved to the county town, and that the witch doctor might also come to the county town, Gu Anqing immediately became alert.

"Changqing, find a house for Miss Qiu'er. It's best if it's close to the Gu Mansion, so that it will be convenient for our two families to visit each other in the future. Before you go out, go to the account office and withdraw two thousand taels of silver. If it's not enough, send someone to tell me."

Chang Qing understood from the young master's words that he wanted to find a house that was close to the Gu Mansion and not too bad.

"Master, Changqing understands."

Lin Qiu'er and Lin Nanye were really speechless about Gu Anqing's enthusiasm. They felt like their trip wouldn't end unless they went out and booked a house today.

"Mr. Gu, you should go find Old Master Gu as soon as possible. We can talk about whether to buy the house or not when the time comes." Lin Qiuer said.

Chang Qing looked at Lin Qiuer's slightly disgusted expression, then at Gu Anqing's embarrassed smile, and lowered his head pretending that he saw nothing.

Gu Anqing straightened his expression, and the emotion that was just revealed disappeared instantly, "Miss Qiu'er, I will take my leave first. Please be safe while you are out and about."

After saying this he left, and his gradually quickening pace showed that he was fleeing in a hurry.

"Little sister, why do you want to buy a house? We don't have money." Lin Nanye asked in confusion.

He didn't understand why they had to buy a house in the county town, nor did he know whether it was expensive or not. Besides, they didn't have any money. Did they really have to let that kid Gu Anqing pay for it?

Lin Qiu'er smiled and took out a stack of banknotes from her bosom, and waved them in front of Lin Nanye's eyes, "Look, what is this? I found this from the people who were chasing Master Gu. Besides, my Hundred Flowers Detoxification Pills are a priceless medicine. Can't they be exchanged for a house?"

She glanced at Changqing mischievously, and Changqing shuddered all over. He lowered his head and replied docilely, "It can definitely be exchanged for. It can be exchanged for. Mr. Lin, don't worry. The lives of our old master and young master are very valuable."

In that case, Lin Nanye stopped hesitating and went out happily together.

They and Changqing took the Gu Mansion's carriage and came to Qingyang Street, the most prosperous street in the county.

Chang Qing was obviously a glutton who frequented the snack stalls in the county town. He led Lin Qiuer and Lin Nanye through the bustling crowd.

The streets were bustling with people coming and going mostly young men and women.

Some crowded around the snack stalls waiting for delicious food, some gathered around the headdress and cosmetics stalls to choose their favorite little items, and there were also married women holding their children in one hand and carrying the purchased items in the other.

The cries of hawkers, the laughter of children, the fighting of teenagers and the sizzling sound of food being thrown into the frying pan are intertwined together, forming a picture of prosperity and peace.

"The county town is so lively." Lin Nanye couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Although his personality was calmer than Lin Nanyue's, he was also attracted by the prosperous scene at this moment, showing the innocent side of the mountain people.

In contrast, Lin Qiuer showed a nonchalant attitude.

She crossed her arms behind her and strolled along the busy street, glancing at the stalls on both sides from time to time.

Whenever she stopped at a food stall, Chang Qing would understand and run to buy a portion for her. Lin Qiu'er would only taste one or two bites, and then give the rest of the food to Lin Nanye and Chang Qing to share.

They walked and tasted various delicacies until Lin Qiuer's eyes were attracted by a shop located in the best location on the entire street.

The shop was unusually deserted, in stark contrast to the bustling scene around it.
