The villain and the powerful official secretly read the diary and broke my plot every day

As soon as Mr. Zheng walked out of the inner hall, he heard the conversation between Li Pingan and Jiang Jiang. He subconsciously glanced at Gu Yanqing who was not far away.

Mr. Zheng: See, this guy can act better than you!

Gu Yanqing: Haha.

"By the way, Sister Jiang Jiang, where do you live? When I get better, I will come to see you." Li Ping'an called her "sister" all the time, which made Jiang Jiang feel quite comfortable.

It would be great if she really had such a handsome, sensible and sweet-talking brother.

"I live at No. 32 Muwa Lane. If you have the chance in the future, you can come to my house to visit me. My cousin cooks delicious food." Jiang Jiang said, and did not forget to promote Yunyue's cooking skills.

Having said that, Jiang Jiang subconsciously turned to look at Gu Yanqing and said with a smile: "Yan Chong, if you have time, you can also come to my house to find me. My eldest brother...he still wants to see you!"

"Yeah." Gu Yanqing just smiled faintly and said "hmm".

No. 32, Mushi Lane...

Of course he couldn't go there at the moment, but Liu Kun was quite reliable, and the official residence No. 32 was a very nice courtyard.

After a few more small talk, Li Ping'an took the herbs and left first. Before leaving, he also agreed with Mr. Zheng on the date for the next follow-up visit.

After Li Ping'an left, Jiang Jiang also left with Gu Yanqing, and the two of them went all the way to Fusheng Bookstore.

Only then did Jiang Jiang realize that the bookstore was closed and Uncle Ping was not at home.

"Where did Uncle Ping go? Is this bookstore...going to close down?"

Jiang Jiang asked Gu Yanqing curiously.

"It's not going bankrupt, Uncle Ping has to go out of the capital for something, so the bookstore is closed for the next few days. But don't worry, it won't affect your business."

"Oh." Jiang Jiang nodded, and then his eyes suddenly lit up: "Then you have time these days, don't you?"

"Forehead."

Before Gu Yanqing could even open her mouth, Jiang Jiang spoke up again, "I just moved to Beijing and I'm not familiar with the place. I need to buy a lot of things for my new home. How about... you accompany me shopping tomorrow, okay? At worst, I'll pay you!"

"I..." Gu Yanqing hesitated.

"Please." Jiang Jiang blinked, grabbed Gu Yanqing's sleeve and shook it vigorously: "Brother Yan Chong, you are the best."

"Cough cough."

Jiang Jiang's sudden act of coquettishness caught Gu Yan off guard.

She could actually call him "Brother Yan Chong".

Why is this girl so clingy?

"Okay, just for this day, and it won't happen again." Gu Yanqing finally had to agree to Jiang Jiang. Looking at Jiang Jiang leaving contentedly, Gu Yanqing shook his head slightly.

No. 32, Shingle Lane.

After Jiang Jiang left Fu Sheng Bookstore, he went straight home.

The new house has been almost cleaned at this time. Mu Wanling and Yunyue are busy in the kitchen. Their whole family is going to have a meal here tonight.

"Mother, cousin, I'm back. Let me help you!"

Jiang Jiang rolled up her sleeves and joined the cooking team. Of course, her cooking skills were not very good, so she could only help out.

"Girl, are you willing to come back?"

Mu Wanling glanced at Jiang Jiang and said in a pretended angry tone, "You're not young anymore. Don't just think about playing all day long."

"I understand, Auntie."

Jiang Jiang nodded in a feigned obedience, then quickly ran to Yun Yue's side to help her pick vegetables...

While the Jiang family was busy preparing dinner, the Huang family, also in the capital, was in a state of gloom.

"Master, what should we do this time? I was bewildered enough to think of marrying into the Li family." Zhu's face was pale, her eyes filled with sorrow. "I thought Li Yulang would settle down after getting married, and the news that Deputy Commander Li was going to be promoted was almost certain. Who knew this time..."

The Li family was suddenly ruined. This was not a significant event in the capital, but it caused a huge uproar in the Five Cities Military Department.

"You almost killed me this time!"

Huang An was also full of fear at this time. If E'er had not refused to obey, they would have married into the Li family a few days ago.

Now... they have escaped a disaster, but... many people in the Five Cities Military Department know that they are going to marry into the Li family, and this time... they are bound to get into trouble.

What bad luck!

"Master, you can't blame me entirely for this! It was you who said Jiang Chaosheng couldn't get married, and it was you who asked me to find a good family for E'er as soon as possible." Zhu Shi was a little unhappy when she saw Huang An putting everything on her head. She stood up angrily and said, "Now that something like this has happened, the other families in the Five Cities Military Department can no longer count on her!"

Huang An, who was standing by, did not get angry when he heard what Zhu said. Instead, he frowned and fell into deep thought.

Jiang Chaosheng...

Huang An had been keeping an eye on Jiang Chaosheng's whereabouts recently. He'd heard he'd joined the Ministry of Works, and there were rumors that he was particularly valued by the Ministry's Vice Minister, Lord Liu...

Maybe, we can wait and see?

Thinking of this, Huang An sighed and said to Zhu: "Let's leave it at that. E'er is not that old, and there is no rush for engagement. She has been imprisoned by us for a while, and I think she has reflected on her mistakes. Tomorrow... you can release her!"

"Are you willing to let her out?" Zhu's expression lit up when she heard Huang An's words. She only had this one daughter, so naturally she loved her very much in her heart.

It’s a pity that Zhu is a person with little vision and is greedy for fame and fortune, so she is obsessed with climbing up the social ladder and marrying her daughter to Li Yulang.

Capital, Prime Minister's Mansion.

When Gu Yanqing returned home, he found that his sister, who used to prepare a large table of food for him, had done nothing today.

"Where's Yan Huan?"

Gu Yanqing asked Mu Kang.

"The young lady is in a bad mood today and has been staying in her room." Mu Kang didn't know what was wrong with Gu Yanhuan, so he could only tell the truth.

Bad mood?

She should have met Liu Cheng'an today. Did something happen?

Gu Yanqing was just about to go to the backyard to take a look when the guards from the Gu Mansion came hurriedly to report: "Prime Minister, Jiang Chaosheng wants to see you."

Why is he here?

Gu Yanqing stopped and said, "Tell him to wait for me in the side hall."

"Yes!"

Outside the prime minister's residence, Jiang Chaosheng was wearing casual clothes and holding a scroll in his hand.

Today, after he got off work at the Ministry of Works, he hurried home to change his clothes and went straight to the Prime Minister's Residence.

The guards of the prime minister's residence took Jiang Chaosheng directly to the side hall. Soon, Jiang Chaosheng saw Gu Yanqing. At this time, Gu Yanqing had changed into a black casual suit. Seeing the scroll in Jiang Chaosheng's hand, Gu Yanqing immediately guessed the purpose of his coming here.

"Prime Minister Gu, I have something to report."

Normally, Jiang Chaosheng, now an official, should have called himself "your humble servant" when meeting Gu Yanqing. However, he chose to call himself "student", which naturally showed his position and determination.

He was determined to advance and retreat together with Gu Xiang.

At this time, Jiang Chaosheng went straight to the point and presented the scroll directly to Gu Yanqing.

Gu Yanqing took the scroll and slowly opened it. Inside was the design drawing of the new curved plow.

"Is this... designed by you?" Gu Yanqing asked knowingly.

"This……"

Jiang Chaosheng hesitated for a moment, but nodded: "This is indeed my design, and I have already made it in the Ministry of Industry in the past two days."

I have to say that Jiang Chaosheng acted very quickly, and it was thanks to Qu Huairen's help.

Qu Huairen is a workaholic, and he highly appreciates Jiang Chaosheng's design and has helped him a lot.

"This student calls it a curved plow..." Jiang Chaosheng explained the working principle of the curved plow and then continued, "Now that spring plowing has begun, it's a good time to promote it. However, I've just joined the Ministry of Industry and my influence is limited, so I don't know how to..."

"Jiang Chaosheng, you're great. I placed you in the Ministry of Industry because I hope you can achieve something, but... the tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Do you understand this?"

Gu Yanqing placed the scroll on the table and spoke slowly, "The Minister of Works is old and frail. He actually submitted his resignation a month ago, intending to return to his hometown to spend his remaining years. However, His Majesty has been holding back on the matter because he hasn't yet decided on a new minister."

Gu Yanqing raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Chaosheng. "You should discuss the Ministry of Works' affairs with Minister Liu. I have never seen this blueprint before."

"Student... understand." Jiang Chaosheng suddenly realized, bowed respectfully to Gu Yanqing, and then left with the scroll.

This kid really understood everything immediately.

Gu Yanqing nodded in satisfaction, and then thought of the curved plow... If it could be promoted nationwide, it would be a great thing for farmers in Qingyun Country!
