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

Dark clouds covered the moon, the wind grew stronger, and mixed in the wind were cold raindrops.

There is little rain in Beijing. This is the first rain since June and also the heaviest one.

Jiang Jiang had already returned to her room, but hearing the sound of wind and rain outside, she was still a little worried.

The wind and rain are so strong, can her small warehouse withstand it?

The cotton in the warehouse can’t be exposed to rain!

The more Jiang Jiang thought about it, the more uneasy she became. Finally, she simply found her straw raincoat, put it on, put on her bamboo hat, and hurried out.

The violent storm cast a shadow over the entire night in the capital.

At this time, there was basically no one on the streets. Even the guards patrolling the city were looking for a place to shelter from the rain.

When Jiang Jiang arrived at Fu Sheng Bookstore, she saw that the store was not closed and there were still candles on.

She was stunned for a moment, then pushed the door open and walked in.

"Ginger ginger!"

Seeing Jiang Jiang suddenly come in, the people in the bookstore seemed stunned for a moment, then immediately stood up and went to greet her.

"It's so rainy and windy, why did you come here?"

As Gu Yanqing spoke, he helped Jiang Jiang take off the hat on her head. Because the wind was too strong, even though Jiang Jiang was wearing a straw raincoat and a hat, her hair was almost completely wet.

"I, I... am worried about the warehouse."

Jiang Jiang said, looking up at the man in front of her, sizing him up carefully.

His body was clean and dry, not like he had just arrived after the rain.

"You...it's raining so hard, why are you still watching the store?"

Jiang Jiang asked Gu Yanqing seemingly unintentionally.

"I couldn't sleep, so I came here to read. By the way, don't worry about the warehouse. Adong and I had already cleaned it up before it rained, and we guarantee it won't leak." Gu Yanqing knew that Jiang Jiang was most worried about the cotton, so he immediately assured her.

"Oh, that's good. Where are the Adong people?"

Jiang Jiang looked around. The bookstore was not big and there were only two of them in the room.

"Adong went to take care of Uncle Ping. The weather is humid today, and Uncle Ping's body is a little bit weak." Gu Yanqing said as he reached into his arms and found a handkerchief, handing it to Jiang Jiang: "How about you wipe it first?"

Jiang Jiang looked a little disheveled at this moment, with her hair wet and sticking to her face.

"Oh, it's okay. I have a handkerchief here."

Jiang Jiang did not take the handkerchief from Gu Yanqing. Instead, she took out a silk handkerchief from her arms and gently wiped her face with it.

Gu Yanqing's gaze stayed on Jiang Jiang's hand for a second——

Yuzhou Snow Silk Brocade.

The silk handkerchief in Jiang Jiang's hand is made of a very special material, which is rarely seen in the capital. It is made of a kind of snow silk brocade produced in Yuzhou.

This kind of snow silk brocade is very expensive and is almost not circulated on the market. It is only transported to the imperial city as a tribute every year.

Of course, in addition to the imperial palace, some big families in the capital also have this thing.

"Is there a spot of mud on my face?"

Seeing Gu Yanqing staring at her, Jiang Jiang subconsciously wiped her face with her handkerchief again.

"Okay, wipe it clean."

Gu Yanqing stopped her action with a smile.

"Oh." Jiang Jiang then put away her handkerchief. This handkerchief was given to her by Li Pingan. It was soft and cool, and super easy to use.

"Ah...ah sneeze!"

After putting away the handkerchief, Jiang Jiang wanted to say something, but before she could open her mouth, she shuddered and sneezed.

"Hand, handkerchief." Jiang Jiang quickly stretched out her hand towards Gu Yanqing.

Gu Yanqing froze, but still handed the handkerchief in his hand to Jiang Jiang.

Jiang Jiang wiped her nose. Fortunately, there was no snot, otherwise it would have been so embarrassing.

but……

"The handkerchief is dirty. I'll take it back to wash and return it to you next time." Jiang Jiang looked at Gu Yanqing a little embarrassedly.

"It doesn't matter, just throw it away. It's not worth much anyway."

At least, it's not as good as your priceless Yuzhou snow silk brocade.

Gu Yanqing's tone was a little cold.

Jiang Jiang glanced at Gu Yanqing. Why did this guy suddenly seem a little sour?

Jiang Jiang didn't think much of it, just thinking it was a rainy day with low air pressure, and everyone was in a bad mood.

It was windy and rainy outside, and it was easiest to catch a cold in such extreme weather. Fortunately, Jiang Jiang was in very good physical condition now. She just sneezed and felt a little cold afterwards.

"I'll make you some ginger water so you don't catch a cold."

When Gu Yanqing saw Jiang Jiang's expression, he immediately pulled her to sit on a chair beside him, then turned around and busied himself with boiling water for Jiang Jiang.

Jiang Jiang sat quietly by the side, watching the tall figure busying around.

He looked very skilled and serious, and most importantly, his face was flawless from every angle.

This is truly... God's favorite.

and so……

Yan Chong.

Who are you?

Jiang Jiang came here unexpectedly today, mainly because he was worried about the warehouse, but he actually had another purpose -

She wanted to see whether Yan Chong was here.

Because Jiang Jiang remembered that there were several times in the past when she came here and Yan Chong was not there, and Uncle Ping always had some excuse saying that he was busy.

But as a down-and-out scholar, does he really have so many things to do?

In the past, Jiang Jiang just didn’t want to care about so many things. After all, everyone has their own secrets.

But now, no.

She must know who the person behind this is...

**

"Be careful, it's hot, drink it later."

After working for a while, Gu Yanqing had already made the ginger water for Jiang Jiang.

When she smelled the scent of ginger, Jiang Jiang couldn't help but wrinkle her nose. She really didn't like this smell.

The ginger and brown sugar water I used to make at least had the sweetness of brown sugar, which diluted the taste of ginger, but now...

Seeing Jiang Jiang's appearance, Gu Yanqing on the side couldn't help laughing: "What's wrong, isn't your name Jiang Jiang? Don't you like ginger?"

"I just don't like it. Do you think you would like it?" Jiang Jiang asked casually.

"I like it. Ginger is also called the soul-resurrecting grass. It can not only dispel cold and warm the lungs, but also strengthen the stomach if you take one piece a day." Gu Yanqing spoke about this very clearly, because Mr. Zheng had told him before that he should drink some hot ginger tea every day to dispel cold and strengthen the stomach, which would be very good for his body.

"Okay, okay, everything you said is right."

Jiang Jiang couldn't argue with him, so she simply lowered her head and started blowing on the water in small sips to make it cooler. She took a tentative sip, and then her facial expression became more expressive.

This taste... is really refreshing.

After taking a few sips of ginger water, Jiang Jiang really couldn't drink any more. She rolled her eyes and looked up at Gu Yanqing beside her: "A Chong, I want to go see Uncle Ping."

Now that she was here, Jiang Jiang didn't want to return empty-handed.

"Uncle Ping should be resting by now."

Gu Yanqing directly rejected Jiang Jiang.

"Oh." Jiang Jiang's face showed a hint of regret. "Didn't you tell me last time at Mingyue Tower that Uncle Ping helped me buy another eight hundred taels of silver worth of cotton? I haven't thanked him in person for this yet, and he's still sick. How about... I buy some things tomorrow and then come visit him?"

"Okay." Gu Yanqing nodded. Looking at Jiang Jiang's expectant eyes, Gu Yanqing felt a little unsure in his heart.

Did she really want to come see Uncle Ping, or was she already beginning to doubt...
