"Hey!"

Jiang Jiang saw that she had knocked over the teapot, and all the hot tea spilled on Gu Yanqing. She immediately exclaimed, "Are you burned?"

Jiang Jiang hurriedly put down the things in her hands, and then eagerly wanted to help Gu Yanqing take off his outer robe.

It would be troublesome if you really get burned!

Gu Yanqing's body stiffened for a moment.

"Take off your outer robe quickly. What are you standing there for? It will be bad if the clothes stick to your body." Jiang Jiang's voice was urgent. She didn't care about etiquette at this moment. She reached out to pull off Gu Yanqing's outer robe. In the chaos, she saw a book in his arms.

This……

Do all nerds love to study so much?

"It's okay, the tea is not hot." Gu Yanqing came back to his senses at this time and comforted Jiang Jiang slowly.

Isn’t it hot?

that……

Jiang Jiang had also recovered somewhat by this time, and her hands moved awkwardly. She rolled her eyes, glanced at the book in Gu Yanqing's arms, and immediately changed the subject cleverly: "What kind of book is this? You actually carry it with you?"

As he spoke, Jiang Jiang subconsciously reached for the book.

"Nothing much, just an ordinary...storybook."

Gu Yanqing was quick and stuffed the "Geography of Kyoto" in his arms into his shirt and kept it close to his body.

[Ding, Gu Xiang's exposure progress +1~]

"Weird."

It was just a book, why was he so nervous? Could it be some secret book?

Jiang Jiang narrowed her eyes, and suddenly remembered that Uncle Ping's bookstore had all kinds of books, so this book...

"I understand."

Jiang Jiang gave Gu Yanqing an ambiguous smile and gently nudged his chest with her elbow: "I know, men, especially older unmarried men, all have some... needs. Ahem, this is not shameful, it's really not shameful."

Gu Yanqing on the side looked embarrassed, but he couldn't deny it at all.

"You are a normal man. There is nothing to be ashamed of. Don't worry! I will never laugh at you. Not everyone is like Gu Xiang..."

"What happened to Prime Minister Gu?"

When Gu Yanqing saw Jiang Jiang suddenly mentioned him, he immediately asked a question.

"He's nothing special. He's just different from you guys anyway."

Jiang Jiang smiled mysteriously at Gu Yanqing——

Gu Yanqing is a top sister-con, German orthopedics, would I tell you?

Say you don't understand.

Moreover, Gu Yanhuan also said that Gu Yanqing carried a copy of "Geography of Kyoto" with him all day long, even when he went to court. Which normal person would carry that thing with him every day?

Like Yan Chong, who carries a book of spring stories with him, is this what a normal man should be like?

Gu Yanqing: ...

He always felt that Jiang Jiang seemed to be framing him, but he had no evidence.

…………

"What a pity! Tea has splashed all over the clothes."

At this time, Jiang Jiang had already diverted her attention and her eyes were fixed on the outer robe that Gu Yanqing had just taken off. This was the one she had specially tailored.

"It's okay, I'll just wash it later. The weather has been nice recently, so I'll hang it out to dry and wear it on the boat tomorrow." Gu Yanqing looked at the tea stains on the clothes and said disapprovingly.

"Can you do laundry?"

Jiang Jiang looked at him curiously. There were not many men who could wash clothes in this era, especially the scholars in Qingyun Kingdom. Most of those scholars were stubborn. Not to mention washing clothes and cooking, even if you asked them to go out and do some physical work, they would think it was an insult to their manners.

"I can do some laundry, cooking, sewing and mending, but I'm not proficient in them."

As Gu Yanqing spoke, he had already changed into another outer robe and put the robe that had just been stained with tea aside. "Life is difficult. In order to survive, I have learned a lot."

"You've always been alone. It hasn't been easy all these years."

Jiang Jiang felt even more sympathetic towards Yan Chong at this moment.

Of course, the more sympathy she has for the man in front of her now, the more she will despise Gu Yanqing for being exposed in the future.

You bastard, you only know how to pretend to be poor to gain sympathy.

You deserve not to be able to get a wife~

…………

When leaving Fu Sheng Bookstore, Uncle Ping kept smiling as he sent Jiang Jiang to the door.

Seeing that Yan Chong didn't follow him out, Jiang Jiang asked Uncle Ping in a low and mysterious voice, "Uncle Ping, does Yan Chong often read the book he hid? It's not good to read that kind of book frequently, it's bad for your health. You should... keep an eye on him on weekdays."

"Wh, what book?"

Uncle Ping looked puzzled. The young master read too many books and information on a daily basis, so Uncle Ping didn't know which book Jiang Jiang was talking about.

"Oh, it's that kind of book, Chun... Chun... Palace." Jiang Jiang said in a voice as soft as a mosquito.

Spring, spring...

Hearing Jiang Jiang's words, Uncle Ping suddenly widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief——

How could you possibly read that kind of book?

but.

After changing his mind, Uncle Ping quickly calmed down.

Young Master is also a man, and he has been getting very close to Miss Jiang Jiang recently. This... is normal, normal.

"Well, ahem. I will keep an eye on him and ask him to take care of his health. Alas, he is not young anymore and it is time for him to get married and have children, Miss Jiang Jiang, don't you think?" Uncle Ping said, glancing at Jiang Jiang as if indicating something.

Jiang Jiang smiled awkwardly: "Uncle Ping, I'm still young. I don't understand what you are saying. I'm leaving first!"

With that, Jiang Jiang quickly left Fu Sheng Bookstore. She still had to go to the city gate to wait for Yun Yue.

This little girl.

Seeing Jiang Jiang running away, Uncle Ping smiled and shook his head, and Gu Yanqing had stood behind Uncle Ping without him knowing when.

"What did she just say to you?"

Gu Yanqing asked Uncle Ping.

Uncle Ping hesitated for a moment, then turned back to his counter and took out his long-collected collection from the bottom shelf. He handed it to Gu Yanqing with a reluctant look on his face: "Sir, those books in the store... the pictures are crude. If you like them, this one is for you."

what?

Gu Yanqing flipped a page casually, and then his face flushed: "What a mess!"

Ginger!

What on earth did you say to Uncle Ping!

**

"Ah! Ahh!"

Jiang Jiang sneezed several times while walking on the street. She subconsciously shrank her shoulders. Why did she suddenly feel a little cold on this sunny and breezy day?

It seems I have to go home and drink another bowl of brown sugar ginger tea tonight.

Unconsciously, Jiang Jiang had walked to the vicinity of the city gate. Looking at the familiar city gate in front of her, she seemed to see the scene when she first entered Beijing after traveling through time.

I was so unlucky at that time, and I met the playboy from the Meng family. Fortunately, I never met that unlucky guy again.

Jiang Jiang was just thinking about it when he saw a familiar tall horse galloping down the long street.

Whatever you think will come true.

Jiang Jiang subconsciously hid in the crowd, and saw Meng Haowen riding a horse and parading through the city. He galloped through the long street, leaving behind a large group of angry people who dared not speak out.
